Chapter 60 11. The 17 battles of the real and fake Zhao Shangzhi in the Japanese and puppet files

During the 14-year Anti-Japanese War in Northeast China, there was a catchphrase among the Japanese and puppet troops, which was called "Little Manchukuo, Big Zhao Shangzhi".This sentence is not false.When Sa was reading the "Police Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" kept in Japan, he once saw the annual public security report written by the director of the pseudo-Bingjiang Provincial Police Department, which actually read "Because Zhao Shangzhi finally went to Sanjiang Province, the security of the whole province It is expected to improve greatly". In fact, General Zhao Shangzhi’s trip to Sanjiang Province was not good news for the Japanese and puppets. He saw that the local rule of the Japanese and puppets was weak, so he led a part of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Army to open up new areas. Thousands of elite soldiers became a more troublesome resistance force for the Japanese and puppets in North Manchuria.However, in the face of Zhao Shangzhi, who is used to fighting, the head of the Japanese department obviously did not care about old sayings such as beggar-thy-neighbor and cold lips. Instead, he secretly felt lucky and gloated in the report.This shows the status of General Zhao Shangzhi in the eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops.

However, the so-called name of a person is the shadow of a tree.General Zhao Shangzhi is famous for his good combat skills, and there are also many troops claiming to be "Zhao Shangzhi" to fight against the enemy. In the documents recorded by the Japanese and puppets, traces of General Zhao Shangzhi fighting with the Japanese army can often be seen. As for this is the real Zhao Shangzhi Shangzhi is still a fake Zhao Shangzhi, but this is a headache. Sa once saw a volume of "A Brief History of Manchukuo Police" completed by Japanese scholar Toyotaka Kato in 1968 (published by the Japanese Civil Servants Aid and Protection Association), in which there was a statistical table of "the Japanese Manchukuo crusade against victims", according to some Japanese and puppets The files of the "crusade" claim lists the battles between several resistance forces in Northeast my country and the Japanese army from 1932 to 1940. Among them, there were at least 17 battles, which were recorded by the Japanese as being under the command of General Zhao Shangzhi.However, after careful study, there were quite a few of these 17 battles. Otherwise, many consecutive battles were separated by thousands of miles. If General Zhao Shangzhi completed continuous command, I am afraid that he would need an airplane, and it would have to be a jet.

The battles and damages recorded in this form are all from the remaining parts of the files of the Japanese and Puppets. However, when the Japanese army was defeated in 1945, a large number of files were destroyed. After that, a large part of the remaining files were unknown in the subsequent tug-of-war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. As a result, its statistics are far from complete.For example, the same book records that in April 1934, following the Red Army of Qin Wenyuan, Zhao Shangzhi also captured Yanshou County, and then captured Bin County in May. In 1935, Zhao Shangzhi, together with Xie Wendong and Li Huatang, conquered Fangzheng County and occupied it for a long time.For these battle cases, since Sa did not see the detailed files at that time, it is impossible to list the losses and specific battles of the Japanese and puppet sides at that time. "A Brief History of the Manchukuo Police" also records that Zhao Shangzhi also controlled a number of peripheral troops, kept in touch with them, cooperated in operations and exchanged information. " and "Chuangjiangnan" (one said Chuanghongnan) local armed forces, etc., continued to harass the Japanese and puppet troops at the Labang Railway and other places.Among them, "Chuangjiangnan" once captured Wuchang, and "Xilaihao" once captured Shulan, but there are no detailed records of the battle.

In addition to incomplete files, the Japanese army was unable to verify the commanders of the anti-Japanese troops in many battles due to inaccurate intelligence.For example, the Japanese recorded that Sun Chaoyang’s unit exchanged fire with the Japanese army in Shuangyang on December 20, 1933, and killed the captain of the Shuangyang police patrol, Yoshiko Koga. In fact, the commander of Sun Chaoyang’s unit was his chief of staff, Zhao Shangzhi.Therefore, these records certainly cannot fully reflect the whole picture of General Zhao Shangzhi's battle with the Japanese and puppet troops.

However, if you look at the Japanese records of these 17 battles, and look up the relevant events before and after these battles, it can still be called a side tour of the Northeast War of Resistance at that time.Therefore, the old Sartre sorted out this information and made a little textual research for the reference of interested friends. first battle Location: Second District, Hailong County, Fengtian Province Time (the time here is the total time before and after the battle and the Japanese and puppet army's crusade against this anti-Japanese armed force): June 7th-August 9th, 1934

Chinese troops: commanded by Zhao Shangzhi and others, with a strength of 150 Japanese and Puppet Troops: Kwantung Army Weishan Troop, Japanese and Puppet Hailong Police Force Combat situation: Previously, in 1933, the Japanese army used the Puppet Manchukuo Police Force to crusade against the resistance forces in Hailong County (the opponent was unknown). Fierce battles took place in Xiaoyangshuhezi, Dongfeng and other places in Hailong County. The Japanese army recorded Dongxing County Police Captain Yokoyama Zhenzo (Sergeant) and other 14 people died in battle.Since then, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces organized armed forces in the local area (the Japanese army called it "assembly") and carried out harassment operations against the enemy (the Japanese army called it "unstable"), which seems to be why the Japanese army launched this crusade.

Casualties on both sides: The Japanese army killed at least eight people during the crusade, and no casualties were found in our army. Short comment: Unfortunately, the Japanese must have got it wrong this time.Fengtian Province belongs to South Manchuria, while Zhao Shangzhi is mainly active in North Manchuria. In May 1934, Zhao Shangzhi had just led his troops to attack Wuchang County in Heilongjiang, and it was unlikely that he would come to Liaoning Province within a month. The one fighting the Japanese army should be Wang Renzhai's Hailong guerrillas, which belonged to Yang Jingyu's independent division.It is speculated that the Japanese army discovered the Anti-Union activities, so they came to crusade. The Anti-Alliance continued to attack the Japanese army in the form of harassment, but they were not injured, and successfully completed the task of expanding the army.As for Wang Renzhai, "A Brief History of the Manchukuo Police" records that in January 1936, he led about 150 people in Changtu, Tieling, Xingjing, Lishu and other places, and fought with the Japanese troops of Oda, Takayama, Hotan, and Kimura. , Killed at least 25 enemies, and only lost ten officers and soldiers.

Second World War Location: District 6, Changtu County, Fengtian Province Time: August 25-September 9, 1935 Chinese troops: Commanded by Zhao Shangzhi, 700 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Kwantung Army Changtu County Garrison Yamamoto Brigade, Japanese and Puppet County Police Brigade Combat situation: According to Japanese records, Changtu was the hardest-hit area of ​​resistance in northern Liaoning. In the early years, the troops reported as the "old three provinces" were active here. In 1932, there were 2,000 people. A fierce battle broke out among the resistance, and seven people were killed. In 1935, there were anti-Japanese armed forces with reports here including "Zhongzhanyuan", "Qingshan", "Fuzi" and "Jiaodekuan". They fought with Japanese troops such as Suzuki and Miyazaki in Yangjiawo and other places. The Japanese army recorded three deaths 130 people were killed in the anti-Japanese armed forces. Although it seems to be exaggerated, it also shows that the combat effectiveness of these troops is not good.The crusade against Japan recorded that the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces organized armed forces in the local area (the Japanese army called it "assembly"), and the Japanese army seemed to have received a report and launched the crusade.

Casualties on both sides: The Japanese army killed at least five people during the crusade, and no casualties were found in our army. Short comment: I guess I made a mistake again.Changtu belongs to northern Liaoning. Although it is a little closer to Zhao Shangzhi's activity area, there is still a distance. In the autumn of 1935, Zhao Shangzhi was discussing the issue of separation and integration with Li Yanlu's Fourth Army, and it was unlikely that he would come here.Changtu seems to have no anti-Japanese allied forces at that time, and the troops that fought against the Japanese army cannot be tested.

Twice, not very reliable, is there any reliable one?Let's move on. third battle Location: Erdaohezi, Wuchang County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: January 1st - April 7th, 1935 Chinese troops: commanded by Zhao Shangzhi, with 300 troops Japanese and Puppet Forces: Kwantung Army, Japanese and Puppet Police Force and Puppet Manchukuo Mixed Forces Combat situation: In the previous year, Wuchang fought continuously, and the Japanese army reported that 61 people were killed in Wuchang this year.The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces continued to fight the Japanese in Wuchang and Bayan.The Japanese also recorded that after the crusade, the Nomezaki troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army continued to launch new attacks in Zhao Shangzhi's base areas such as Wuchang and Yimianpo, and used "Sihai", "North East", "Dongyang", "Rolling Landmines", and "Genshan" etc. The reporting troops exchanged fire continuously. During the battle, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army Nomezaki was killed, at least 29 of his subordinates were killed, and more than 150 puppet regime personnel (Koreans) were captured.

Casualties on both sides: At least 15 people were killed under Wuchang County Police Sergeant Suida Mitsuro, and no casualties were found in our army. Comment: This record is relatively reliable. It is said that this battle was more reliable, because at that time Zhao had served as the commander of the Third Army of the Anti-Union Army, and commanded the Third Army in the Hadong area to launch the "big crusade" against the Japanese and puppet troops in spring and won the victory. In mid-June, Zhao Shangzhi presided over a meeting of leaders of the Volunteer Army in the south of Erdaohezi to study and deploy combat plans.This is indeed his active area.But in fact, the place where the battle may be the most intense should be Zhuhe, which is the center of Zhao Shangzhi's activities.Although the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army was killed in the battle, after all, the troops had an absolute advantage, so Zhao Shangzhi led the main force to join Xia Yunjie and open up the base area in the lower reaches of the Songhua River.The troops staying in the Hadong area were completely lost at the end of the year, and Zhao Yiman was captured during this stage of the battle. fourth battle Location: Dabaishi Research Institute, Bin County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: April 19th - April 25th, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi and "Nine Dragons" and "Desheng" are jointly commanded, with a strength of 100 Japanese puppet troops: unknown Combat Situation: Engaged Casualties on both sides: At least two Japanese soldiers were killed in battle, and no casualties were found in our army Short comment: At that time, Zhao had led his troops to join Xia Yunjie in Tangyuan area, and Zhao Shangzhi himself may not be directly in command.Perhaps the "Kowloon" and "Desheng" units of the Volunteer Army used Zhao Shangzhi's reputation to frighten the devils.The strange thing is that "Jiulong" and "Desheng" are both "poles" from Hulin. It seems that they are a little far away from Binxian County, so I don't know what the mystery is. fifth battle Location: District 3, Acheng County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: April 26-May 11, 1936 Chinese troops: commanded by Zhao Shangzhi, with 200 troops Japanese puppet troops: Acheng County Police Force Combat situation: The Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked the Puppet Police Regiment there Casualties on both sides: The number of Japanese and puppet troops killed in battle is unknown. The police were disarmed and released 20 people, and 80 were captured. Our army killed 25 people. Short comment: At that time, Zhao had led his troops to Tangyuan to join Xia Yunjie. It is recorded that he had wiped out more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops in Tonghe during this period, but there was still a Mulan between Tonghe and Acheng. Zhao Shangzhi at this time Appearing in Ah Cheng is rather strange.In particular, Acheng had already arrived in the suburbs of Harbin, and even disarmed and captured more than a hundred enemies alive. No matter who fought this battle, it was enough to cause a huge shock to the Japanese army.Judging from the performance of the pseudo-police, it is also possible that this is an uprising by the Anti-Union in response to the pseudo-police?In any case, it seems that the Anti-Japanese War went smoothly at first, but suffered certain losses when being chased by the Japanese army during the retreat. Game Six Location: Near Dapinghetun, Mulan County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province When: May 13, 1936 Chinese troops: commanded by Zhao Shangzhi and Xia Yunjie, with 700 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Bin County Public Security Team Fighting situation: On the day before the 13th, a hundred troops from the "Nine Reds" attacked the pseudo-police station in the west of Mulan County and captured five policemen alive. On the day after the 13th, 400 people from the "Jiujiang" and "Donglai" troops fought a fierce battle with the Japanese and puppet mixed troops at Dongyang River, Mulan County.On the 13th, the Anti-Japanese Alliance attacked the Japanese-occupied village in the Daping River, cut off telecommunication lines, blew up bridges, and carried out propaganda activities. Casualties on both sides: Unknown Short comment: Dapinghetun should be the Taiping River. There is no problem with this battle. It was indeed commanded by Zhao Shangzhi.Zhao Shangzhi's Chronicle records that "on May 13, the attack on the 'group tribe' in Taipinghetun, Mulan County destroyed the nearby communication lines and bridges".According to Zhao's prestige and combat habits in various anti-Japanese armed forces, Jiujiang, Jiuhong, Donglai and other troops should be allied with them and cooperate with the mountain forest team or volunteer army. one game. seventh battle Location: Near Xihe Town, Dongxing County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: May 16-May 25, 1936 Chinese troops: commanded by Zhao Shangzhi and others, with a strength of 600 Japanese and puppet troops: the Kwantung Army, the Japanese and puppet police of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, and some self-defense regiments Battle situation: On May 14, after the Japanese army ended the battle at Dongyang River in Mulan County and "Jiujiang" and "Donglai", the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked the Rizhan Village in Xihe Township with troops armed with machine guns. On May 26, they attacked the Japanese Army Mulan County Counselor and his party who went to the countryside for inspection. Casualties on both sides: Unknown Short comment: Dongxing is today’s Dongxing Town, Mulan County. Qingfengling in the east of it is an important stronghold of the Anti-Japanese War, and it is also the activity area of ​​Zhao Shangzhi’s third army. In 1936, General Li Zhaolin led his troops to attack Mulan, Dongxing, and Bayan from Qingfengling to the west. .The battle in Xihe Town was commanded by Zhao Shangzhi, and his chronicle mentioned that "the puppet policemen and armed self-defense groups attacked Dongxing Xihe Town around May 20". eighth battle Location: East of Bin County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province When: June 2, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, "Zhan Shan Hao", Zhang Lianke, 100 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Japanese and puppet Bin County Police Force Combat situation: Resistance forces attacked a village (group tribe) garrisoned by a police force and took nine captives (one of them was the principal of a local Japanese elementary school). Casualties on both sides: Unknown Short comment: In Zhao Shangzhi's chronicle, there is "United Volunteer Army Attacked Daheyan Puppet Police Station" on June 1. Considering that the Japanese army might not get the news until the next day, the village that Zhao Shangzhi attacked should be Daheyan.This battle may be in retaliation for an attack by the Japanese army on May 29.At that time, the Binxian police team fought with the volunteers reporting the numbers "Jiusheng", "Sihai" and "Gaowen" in Chaoyang River, Binxian County. "Jiusheng" and "Sihai" were killed in the battle.The strange thing is that both "Nine Victories" and "Four Seas" should be volunteers from Liaoning. How could they die in Jilin?In addition, the "Chang Lianke" here is speculated to be Zhang Lianke, the commander of the third division of the three armies of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War. ninth battle Location: Near Taiping Bridge, Mulan County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: June 5th - June 13th, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, 250 troops Japanese puppet troops: unknown Combat situation: Attacked a village (group tribe) garrisoned by a police unit, captured it and burned it down. Casualties on both sides: Three Japanese soldiers died, and our army had no casualties. Short comment: Zhao Shangzhi's Chronicle has a record of "on June 12th, attacking Taipingqiao'group tribe' in Mulan County and disarming the self-defense regiment", so this battle should undoubtedly be commanded by Zhao Shangzhi.It is worth mentioning that judging from "A Brief History of the Manchukuo Police", it is very likely that Zhao Shangzhi's troops were targeted by the Japanese army. The time was between June 14th and 27th, and there was a fierce battle with the Japanese army at the Ferry River in Mulan County. .The Japanese army dispatched not only the army, but also the naval gunboats Guangning and Kitty Hawk, as well as the Jiangping of the Puppet Manchurian Defense Fleet and its marines.During the battle, the Japanese side counted that our army lost 20 people, while only two Japanese soldiers were killed.Interestingly, Japanese records show that during the battle, the puppet gunboat Jiangping seemed to have a tacit understanding or cooperative relationship with Zhao Shangzhi's troops, and there are signs of anyway!However, there are records that the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Volunteer Army cooperated and captured two naval guns and two machine guns in Mulan in 1936. It is not known whether they have anything to do with the Jiangping ship. tenth battle Location: Near Sanxuantun, Mulan County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: July 30-August 2, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, 400 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Shibuya Troop Kotani Team Combat situation: Both sides are fighting Casualties on both sides: One Japanese soldier died, and our army had no casualties recorded. Short comment: The location is wrong. Sanxuantun should be Sanqiandiaotun. In Zhao Shangzhi’s chronicle, there is a record that “on July 30, he commanded the expeditionary force to fight the Japanese Shibuya troops’ Xiaogu team at Sanqiandiaotun, Mulan County.” This time The battle is undoubtedly commanded by Zhao Shangzhi.This battle is speculated to be an encounter between the two sides. eleventh battle Location: Near Guanglitun, Mulan County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province Time: August 3rd - August 13th, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, Li Huamin, 500 troops Japanese and Puppet Troops: Japanese Army and Puppet Manchukuo Army Combat situation: Both sides are fighting Casualties on both sides: One Japanese soldier died, and our army had no casualties recorded. Short comment: Li Huamin (Mr. Shi Yijun suspects that he is the leader who often reported "a face" around Zhao Shangzhi), a general of the Anti-Union Army who was born in the Volunteer Army, and once served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Daobei Allied Forces (the commander-in-chief is Xu Hengzhi). "A Brief History of the Manchukuo Police" mentions that from July 26 to July 29, Li Huamin led 200 people to conduct activities in Mulan, Bayan and other places. 8 people were injured and 15 people were captured alive.According to historical records, "On August 3, more than 500 members of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War, Zhao Shangzhi and Li Huamin, fought fiercely with the Japanese and puppet troops in South Limatun (or Guanglitun) in Mulan County, Heilongjiang."In Zhao Shangzhi's chronology, there is also "Leading a team to fight the Japanese and puppet troops in Guanglitun, Mulan County in early August".This battle is undoubtedly commanded by Zhao Shangzhi.It is speculated that Zhao Shangzhi had a small-scale battle with the Japanese army when he was responding to Li Huamin. Twelfth World War Location: Zhangjiagang, Bayan County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province When: August 14, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, 200 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Shibuya Troop Kuwahara Team Fighting situation: Fighting broke out between the two sides. On August 17, police officer Tokiwa Kasaburo of the Binjiang Provincial Police Department was shot dead. Casualties on both sides: The Japanese army is unknown, and our army sacrificed 23 people. Short comment: Zhao Shangzhi’s Chronicle records that “From August 14th to 17th, he led an expeditionary force westward to Bayan, fought fiercely with the Kuwahara Squadron of the Japanese Shibuya Army in Zhangjiagang, and killed Kasaburo Tokiwa, the head of the pseudo-Bingjiang Provincial Police Department.”This battle was commanded by Zhao Shangzhi, but Chang Pan's position was not as high as the director's. He was from Kanagawa Prefecture, and his rank was the police chief. , so his killing must have brought a big blow to the morale of the Japanese and puppet troops. Thirteenth battle Location: Dongfang, Qingcheng County, Pseudo-Bangjiang Province and Xinmin Town, Dongxing County Time: October 1st - October 27th, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, 200 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Japanese Yamada troops, part of the puppet army Fighting situation: Fighting broke out in Xinmin Town.The Japanese army saw the right time and attacked Zhao Shangzhi's troops who were expanding their troops near Qingcheng, causing heavy losses. Casualties on both sides: The Japanese army claimed that one person was killed in battle, our army sacrificed 42 people, lost 10 horses, and another 10 captured enemy soldiers escaped. Short comment: In the previous week, the Japanese army also raided the camps held by the resistance forces such as Wuchang Hayingtang, Binxian Wanggu Station, and Binxian Baiquangou in a surprise attack. Army Commander Wang Yachen), "Jinde" (suspected to be Jin Ce), "Zhanshanhong", "Jifeng", "Sihai" and other troops caused relatively large losses, causing a total of 46 resistance troops to be killed.This time, even Zhao Shangzhi got the point. It seemed that the Japanese army was experimenting with new tactics, and the resistance troops would inevitably pay a price in the process of adapting. Fourteenth battle Location: Liangzihe and other places, Tangyuan County, Pseudo-Sanjiang Province Time: January 1st - December 31st, 1935 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, Xia Yunjie, Zhang Dianfu, 400 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Japanese Kamata troops, Sato task force, etc. Battle situation: Fierce battles broke out in Tonghua, Fangzheng, Tangyuan, Fuyuan, Suibin and other counties.For example, on December 1, the enemy's crusade team in Tonghua County was attacked by the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Five police officers under the Tonghua County policeman Zuoyan Benzhang and the police chief Kamada Sashi died in battle. Casualties on both sides: The Japanese army is unknown, our army sacrificed 10 people, and there are several wounded. Short comment: This is not a single battle, but the Japanese army put together a year of tug-of-war, which shows that the anti-Japanese armed forces were very active in Tangyuan at that time, and it was impossible to report on the combat situation in detail.However, Zhao Shangzhi did not arrive in Tangyuan until mid-October, so these battles are likely to be dominated by the Xia Yunjie Department of the Sixth Army, but the battle on December 1 is likely to be commanded by him or other commanders of the three armies. fifteenth battle Location: Southwest Goryeo Hat-Baoqing Pavilion, Jiamusi City, Pseudo-Sanjiang Province, West Yilan County and other places Time: January 1st - March 31st, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, Xia Yunjie, Zhang Dianfu, Ge Zhong, and Li Hua (Hua) Tang have 800 troops Japanese and puppet troops: Japanese Beidao Crusade Team, Sato Work Team, Sawano Troop, etc., Puppet Manchukuo Army, Baoqing Police Team, Fengshan Police Team, etc. Combat situation: On February 12, the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces attacked a large vehicle belonging to the Nagano Transportation Company and captured two pseudo-officials alive; on March 19, the forest police team was attacked; Taka was killed in battle. On March 20, the Yuyuan County Police Force was attacked. Police Satomoriyama Tokujiro, Sheriff Kondo Tadaji, Lao Go Saburo and others were killed. Casualties on both sides: 33 Japanese soldiers died and 35 Chinese soldiers died.Short comment: This is not a battle, but a series of anti-Japanese attacks on the Japanese army.There is no doubt that Zhao Shangzhi's troops were very active during this period, but he himself was busy deploying the establishment of a rear military base in the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, opening up the Tangyuan Anti-Japanese Base Area, and establishing the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Political and Military School in the Yichun Valley.It is estimated that there will be no time to directly command the battle.However, this period of Japanese and puppet archives provided an important historical material for the study of the history of the Anti-Union War—General Li Zhaolin’s proud work, the Battle of the Old Money Cabinet. There was no clear time before, but now it can be concluded that this battle took place in 1936. On March 20th, because Tokujiro Moriyama was a Japanese instructor who was shot dead by Li Zhaolin and Dai Hongbin in the old city-the names of the two sheriffs, Kondo and Lao Hou, can also supplement the battle record of the old man. sixteenth battle Location: Tangyuan Hanlantun, Jinle Town, Yilan County, Tulong Mountain, etc., Tangyuan, Pseudo-Sanjiang Province Time: April 1st - December 31st, 1936 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi, Li Xuewan, Zhang Tuanzhong, Taishan, Haihong, etc., with a strength of 1750 (1000 of Zhao Shangzhi's troops) Japanese and puppet forces: Qinggu, Nagata and other troops, the Puppet Manchukuo Second Military Region border area crusade team, the Puppet Manchukuo National Army guerrilla, Tangyuan County Jinle Town Police Department, security team, self-defense group, etc. Combat situation: The Anti-Japanese Alliance attacked the Han Lantun Group tribe, the Jinle Town Police Station, and battles broke out everywhere in Sanjiang Province. On July 4th, the Japanese army's joint crusade team was ambushed, and the police chief of Boli County Mitsuo Tominaga and the police chief of Fujin County Nagamura Shangqing were killed. On August 15, the police chief of Huachuan County Sugimoto Tomio was killed. Casualties on both sides: At least 37 Japanese soldiers died, 3 Japanese police officers died, and 74 our troops died. Short comment: This is still a series of anti-Japanese attacks on the Japanese army and Japanese counter-attacks.It shows that Zhao Shangzhi's troops have gained a foothold in Tangyuan and become the main force of the local war of resistance.At this stage, Zhao Shangzhi was actually in charge of the construction and battle command of the Tangyuan base area. It should not be too much to attribute these battles to his leadership.However, there is no way to research places such as Jinle and Hanlan, so it is impossible to know where the battle examples cited by the Japanese army took place. seventeenth battle Location: Laodaodian, Tongbei County, Pseudo-Beian Province, etc. Time: January 1, 1937 to December 31, 1937 Chinese troops: Zhao Shangzhi's strength is unknown Japanese and Puppet Troops: Takeuchi Troops, Puppet Manchukuo Military Police Combat situation: The anti-union forces fought continuously with the Japanese army in Tongbei, Bei'an, Qingcheng, Hailin, and Suihua. On March 20, Masao Fukuda, a police officer in Tongbei County, was killed in action. On August 3, Toriaki Samoto, a police officer in Tokuto, was killed in action. Boai and others died in action. Casualties on both sides: At least 2 Japanese soldiers died, 5 Japanese police officers died, and our army had no casualties. Short comment: From this series of place names, we can see the route of Zhao Shangzhi's western expedition.This unit is the cavalry under the personal command of Zhao Shangzhi, who once wiped out a mountain forest team of the puppet army in Laodaodian.However, the Japanese army put Zhao Shangzhi's name here. I speculate that it was neither the reason for the few people killed in their records, nor because Zhao Shangzhi beat the puppet army's mountain forest team, but because Zhao Shangzhi beat the Japanese army here. The frightening battle—the Battle of Bingzizi that took place in early 1937 (apparently, the "Manchukuo Police Brief History" did not record Japanese casualties in this battle), caused heavy losses to the Japanese Takeuchi Army, and became Zhao Shangzhi's classic battle. After finishing 17 battles, the image of Zhao Shangzhi, a mighty and courageous hero, may, perhaps, be engraved in the annals of the Northeast War of Resistance in these battles.
