Chapter 59 10. Killing the Japanese soldiers who were hungry and insane in education——The siege of Jingbo Academy in the eyes of the Japanese

The book "Ah, Manchuria" is a collection of memories of members of the Japanese pioneering group, and its content is mainly about their life experiences.However, words such as "Tulongshan Riot" and "22nd Day of Prisoners" can be seen from time to time, and the shadows of Chinese resisters such as the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces and Volunteer Army run through it. In one of the articles "Kingbo Academy Yamada's Last Words" written by Koga, the "head of the Hulunbeier Development Team in Xing'an North Province" during the Manchukuo era, it is mentioned that the education director of Jingbo Academy was killed by our army on the shore of Jingpo Lake. Teiichi Yamada.

This article is stored on page 152 of "Ah, Manchuria", which records the course of this battle—— On the morning of May 17th, two officials, five trainees, and five garrison soldiers headed by Yamada General Affairs, thirteen in total, were carrying food and groceries from Ning'an on their way back by truck, when about 50 "bandits" presupposed Ambush, after a hard fight, all the staff died in tragic battle.After this sad report was reported in both newspapers and radio stations on the 21st, it had an abnormal impact on Japan and Manchuria. Our side also has records of this battle, saying that it was an ambush on May 17, 1933, by Zhang Xiang, the commander of the independent guerrilla company under Zhou Baozhong, and destroyed a Japanese vehicle in this ambush , Eliminated Yamada Teiichi and 14 of his guards, seized twelve rifles, two machine guns, one box gun, as well as a large amount of food, clothing and cash.In the end, the soldiers burned the supplies they hadn't taken along with the cars, and there were no casualties in our army.

What kind of institution is this Mirror Park Academy?Who is Teiichi Yamada, and why did his death cause "abnormal shocks to both Japan and Manchuria"? According to our information, Yamada is said to be a "retired lieutenant general", and the purpose of establishing the Kagami Park Academy is to set up an institution for colonization, while the Japanese report at the time said that the Kagami Park Academy was a school focusing on agricultural colonization, Yamada is a great agriculturalist, geologist, and educator, not to mention his relationship with the military. In the process of recording this battle, we described Yamada's "holding the saber" and discovered the trap set by our army on the road ahead of time, but Zhang Xiang, who was a hunter, shot him with a "continuous gun" when he got out of the car to check. kill.The Mosin Nagant rifle, commonly known as "Shui Lianzhu", may be the gun Zhang Xiang used to kill Yamada.

Our side recorded that 15 people were killed, while the Japanese claimed that 13 people were killed. Who said it was true?There is also a saying that a lame traitor translator, who begged for his life after being captured, was shot by Zhang Xiang on the spot.Is this almost dramatic description true or false? When I looked up the records of this battle in the Japanese literature, I suddenly found that although our information does not match the official Japanese information, most of them can be found in the memories of ordinary Japanese pioneers. . For example, the lame translator of traitors was not mentioned in Koga's new article, but according to the memories of Yamada's deputy, Yoshinori Yoshinosuke, there was such a person, and his name was found to be Ren Maolin.This article also records that the Japanese were killed in this battle, including officer Imai, instructor Shushita, trainees Takeda, Kamezawa, Sugawara, Goto, Murota, 5 people under Japanese Corps Chief Shiina, a total of 15 people, and our records It matches (but the number is only 14, it seems that the arithmetic of the combination is not very good).In any case, one of the reasons for the discrepancies in the records of the two sides is that Ren Maolin, the translator of traitors, was not counted. It seems that in the eyes of Koga and others, traitors are not considered human beings.

There are quite a lot of Japanese people who understand it. So, is the so-called Zhang Xiang digging traps and ambushes true? In the same article, Jie Cheng described the battle path: "At the pass of the Damiaoling Pass, there was a trap hidden on the road surface, waiting for the front wheels of the car to fall into it, and the 'bandits' immediately attacked from the ridges on both sides. ..." Our statement is that Yamada discovered the trap and was still wiped out. The Japanese statement is that Yamada's car fell into the trap.Why is our side and Japan's description different?It seems that the digging of traps is true. The reason for the different descriptions is that Yamada was wiped out and no one was left alive. The Japanese reinforcements could only see the traps, so they deduced the battle process.

So, what kind of character is Yamada? It is mentioned in "The Last Words of Yamada General Affairs of Kagami Gakuen" that Yamada was born in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, and graduated from Shanlin Academy. He is a fanatical Asianist in Japan.He is one of the founders of the Japanese National Shikan, and has served as its director since 1917.Most of the students of the so-called Jingbo Academy are "elites" recruited by the National Scholars Hall, and they are sent to China after half a year of training.In the "Xingya Movement and Toushan Manweng" published in 1942, 11 "Xingya Movement の Contributors" were listed, the first one was the Japanese spy Arao Sei during the Sino-Japanese War, and Yamada Teiyi ranked second Fourth, it can be seen that his influence in Japan, no wonder his death will cause an abnormal impact on Japan and Manchukuo.

Yamada did have military experience, his rank is unknown, but he was 42 years old when he was shot dead, and he had been active in political circles for many years. It is unlikely that he would have reached the rank of lieutenant general when he retired. We classify him as a "retired lieutenant general". It may be because part of the staff sequence list of the Japanese mirror park is not clear enough.In this part of the unclear text, there is a sentence "the honorary chief is the Manchukuo council Chikushi seven lieutenant general, the general affairs is Yamada Teiichi", if it is broken into "the honorary chief is the Manchukuo council Chikushi seven lieutenant general, the general affairs is Yamada Teiichi" Of course it is possible, and it is not unreasonable to conclude that "the honorary chief is Manchukuo Counselor Chikushishichi, and the lieutenant general is Teiichi Yamada".

If you look at the staffing of the Japanese side, this Jingbo Academy cannot be a peaceful place at all.Its principal is Lieutenant General Koizumi Liuyi of the Japanese Army, and its honorary principal is Lieutenant General Chikushikushichi of the Japanese Army mentioned above. As Koike's lieutenant.And Koga's article exposed its true face even more.He ostentatiously wrote in the article: "(1932) I and more than 20 students under the head of education Yamada participated in the "bandit" crusade with the Gaobo troop of the cavalry group. We conducted a forcible reconnaissance around Jingpo Lake .”

The time when Yamada and Koga conducted the "forced reconnaissance" was similar to the "Jingpohu serial battle" of the Li Yanlu troops, the predecessor of the Anti-Japanese Fourth Army. reconnaissance". In the battles between Chen Hanzhang and other anti-union generals and the Japanese army, they also eliminated the Jingbo Academy special forces that followed the Japanese army many times.From a historical point of view, in addition to providing reconnaissance and other activities for the Japanese army, most of the graduates of Jingbo Academy were responsible for the Japanese army to engage in group tribes, colonization, reclamation, and grain harvesting. This should be an out-and-out colonial agent School.

However, from the Japanese records, we can see the painful experience of these "elites" carefully selected from Japan to learn in Jingbo Academy-here is the second army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army, the fifth Although the Japanese side definitely intended to strengthen the local suppression of the anti-Japanese armed forces by placing this school here, it did not expect that "bandits are rampant" and this secret service school does not even have the ability to protect itself.Jiecheng wrote that after Yamada was killed, on June 5, the school’s supply convoy was attacked again, and five officers and soldiers including Corporal Iwami died in battle.More than 1,000 anti-Japanese armed forces surrounded Jingbo Academy. Although they failed to capture it, they basically cut off its connection with the outside world.

Under this kind of siege, the defenders of Jingbo Academy fell into a situation of internal and external difficulties, so that hundreds of Japanese "elites" were so hungry that they ate grass (the original text was "weeds"), and as a result, a large number of people suffered from dyspepsia and diarrhea. On August 19th, Second Lieutenant Uesugi Torera took the risk of leading ten students to pick up supplies, but was beaten again and failed. The student Onoda Masamune was killed in battle. Formed records: "During the three months of July, August, and September, dysentery was prevalent, and no one did anything in the entire academy. There were many people who were wailing in the room and had bloody stools. Everything can only depend on Lieutenant Tanaka Yuyi, a military doctor, and the military doctor himself finally contracted dysentery..." Due to the unfamiliarity of the terrain, Koga recorded that the Japanese soldiers and students could only hang around in the trenches and watchtowers to see the "bandits" haunting the surrounding mountains, and dared not go out. Koga wrote in the article: "During this period, the instructors and students experienced the horror of hunger together. Among them, some were schizophrenic, some committed suicide, and some died of illness." Koga mentioned that it was only because the Kwantung Army discovered in time The situation was not good. The Director of Military Affairs, Fufumi Yamashita, and the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army Hisao Nishio personally intervened, dispatched troops to help, and sent Kwantung Army consultant Dr. Yoshida Shinshichiro to lead a medical team to rescue them. Only then did these Japanese "elites" evacuate alive. out.According to the "Secret Records of Jingbo Academy" written by Tajima Goro in the same book, Jingbo Academy was disbanded and abandoned for several years, and it was not resumed until 1936. Many Japanese "elites" committed suicide by caesarean section during World War II, and they were starved to death. It seems that there has not been a second case.It would be unbelievable if it wasn't mentioned in the article by the Japanese side.For this, the siege of Jingbo Academy is also worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. It is worth noting that there are two Zhang Xiangs in the Northeast Anti-Japanese War: one is Zhang Xiang who killed Yamada in the Fifth Army System, and died in Tokyo near Dongning in 1935; the other is Zhang Xiang, a sharpshooter from the Inspection Office of the Three Armies Later, he became the deputy commander of HNA of the East China Sea Fleet, and he was one of the very few admirals who were born in the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
