Chapter 70 19. The Oroqen Puppet Army Uprising Behind the Six Heads

A few days ago, a descendant of a veteran in Japan sold a batch of old photos taken during the Northeast, one of which attracted Sa's attention because of its blood and cruelty.In this photo, a row of Chinese heads are placed on top of a billboard placed by the Japanese army. What kind of event is hidden behind this?This Japanese soldier was once stationed in Tieli County, Heilongjiang, and he captioned this photo as "a bandit who was killed in the infighting of the Manchukuo Army."Such vague descriptions do not account for events that actually occurred.Are these victims soldiers of the Anti-Union, remnants of the Volunteer Army, or heroes of the green forest?Or is it really an infighting between the Japanese and puppet troops?Tieli used to be an area where both the Volunteer Army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance fought.

Asuki Sugawara, who was born in Hokkaido, was a trainee of the "Tie Li Great Training Center of the Manchukuo Pioneering Youth Volunteer Team". "When the Japanese army pursued Ma Zhanshan to Tieli, it coincided with the rainy season, and the road was muddy and difficult. The pursuit team of the Matsumoto United was alone and helpless, and there were many dead. From the nearby 15th Squadron (southwest of Tieli Retort Plant) to Taoshan, you can often see tombstones erected for soldiers who died in battle.”Zhao Shangzhi, Li Zhaolin, Xu Hengzhi, Zhang Guangdi, Sui Desheng, Yu Tianfang, Guo Tiejian, etc. of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces have all been active here. In 1938, more than 60 members of the Japanese army went to the mountain to crusade against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but all were wiped out, and only one carrier pigeon flew back.

However, the Japanese army was stationed in Tieli from 1940 to 1941. Therefore, the time of this tragedy should be later than the battle described above. Fortunately, the name of the victim can be easily seen on this photo. Based on this, we can decipher the truth of the incident that happened 70 years ago. It turned out that this was a failed mutiny mainly launched by the Oroqen officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army. The photo shows the victims who were killed by the Japanese army after the mutiny because they failed to find the anti-union team as planned. In 1940, in "Taozili" (now Taoshan Pioneer Village) in Taoshan, Tieli County, there was a puppet Manchukuo forest police team "Solilian" composed of Oroqen people. However, the fighting and propaganda of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces also had a certain impact on them.At this time, Shi Wende, who had been a false police chief, was expelled by the Japanese because he passively responded to the Japanese request and was unruly.But the wooden platoon was confiscated by the Japanese from the Han family's pioneering group, and Shi Wende was forced to go to Liangshan, so he secretly joined forces with his old friends in Suo Li's company, planned to launch an uprising, and defected to the anti-Japanese team Pu Jisong.

Pu Jisong, one of the important leaders of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, known locally as "Pu Gaoli", was born in August 1918 in a poor peasant family in Yongchangdong, Wangqing County, Jilin Province. In 1933, he joined the Youth League and devoted himself to the anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. In 1935, he was arrested and imprisoned because of a traitor's informant, but was later released by the enemy because of his young age.After he was released from prison, he joined the anti-union team and successively served as soldier, squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, organization section chief, political department director and detachment leader. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1937.

In October 1938, Park Jisong led the Anti-Union fighters to attack the Tieli Ertun Puppet Self-Defense Regiment. In November 1939, he and more than 30 anti-union fighters met more than 200 Japanese crusades in the dense forest north of Tieli City. Some were wiped out in the dense forest.He was very prestigious in Tieli, and later served as the captain of the 12th Detachment of the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army.When Shi Wende and others launched the uprising, his troops were operating in the south of Tieli. On January 4, 1943, Park Jisong led his troops to attack the Gyeongseong Puppet Police Station. On the way back to the secret camp, he encountered the Gyeongseong Japanese Crusade Team. During the battle, he was seriously injured and captured by the enemy to cover the transfer of the troops.On August 12 of that year, he was killed in Bei'an Manchukuo Prison at the age of 25.

On March 28th, Shi Wende recruited Suo Fengshan, Zhao Mingshan, Zhang Haishan, Tang Xishan, Xu Bingxin, Shi Guangfu, Yan XXX and several other excellent marksman "gunners" to live in the camp where he was the head My friend Liu Yupu's Nanguanmenzuizi Police Station took advantage of his unpreparedness to snatch the guns from the station, and went up the mountain to find the anti-Japanese team.The pseudo-police tried to stop them, but they were not their opponents, and their sentries were killed on the spot. Due to poor prior contact arrangements, they failed to connect with the Anti-Japanese Army in time, and the other officers and soldiers of Soli Company were also controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops, and most of them failed to follow up.More than a dozen Oroqen officers and soldiers who revolted had no choice but to move around Lingyun Mountain under the leadership of Shi Wende.

Before the discovery of this photo, the names of Tang Xishan, Xu Bingxin and Shi Guangfu could not be found in our archives.And their subsequent actions are almost unrecorded. However, from the photo of the Japanese side, we can see their so-called "crime".Only then did we know that this armed force trying to defect to the Anti-Japanese Army caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese army in just one month.They robbed the food and horses of the puppet government, and rescued the captured laborers. The matter of Shi Wende's seizure of the gun and surrender to the Anti-Union was soon known by the Iron Force Police Division. The Japanese spy chief Nakanishi Masae was furious.

At this time, Li Bingheng and Chen Guoying, the hardcore traitors in Tieli County, offered a poisonous plan. They tricked Chen Shan, the captain of Solilian, into prison, and put the rest of the officers and soldiers under house arrest. Swande et al.Chen Guoying said to Chen Shan's younger brother, Chen You: "The Japanese already knew about your liaison with the Anti-Union Alliance, so they detained you, and you might be sent to Harbin for sentencing. I was the one who interceded in front of the Japanese. I have given you a chance to make meritorious deeds and atone for your crimes, and you can use their heads to replace your own heads by going up the mountain to kill Swende and his group."

Chen You and others were duped, took people up the mountain to find Shi Wende, and expressed their willingness to join the group.Shi Wende and others lived with them without any doubt.It was found that Shi Wende and others had not contacted the Anti-Japanese Alliance and were isolated and helpless. Under the leadership of Chen Shan and Chen You, the Japanese and puppet troops launched an attack on Shi Wende's camp hidden 20 kilometers south of Lingyun Mountain. On April 30, the unsuspecting Shi Wende and others were besieged by the Japanese and puppet troops. Except for the vigilant Su Fengshan who broke through with injuries, the other eight people were all killed.The enemy put eight bloody heads into sacks and carried them back to the police station in the street on horseback.The devil held a mass meeting in the square in front of the pseudo-county office (now the site of the post office), put the heads first into large baskets, paraded them through the streets, then put them into wooden cages, and hung them for several days at the entrance of the southwest street of the police station.

It is speculated that this photo was taken during this time.Afterwards, although many people in "Solilian" were temporarily released, they were also murdered by devils. Although this was an insignificant mutiny, behind it was the effect of the Anti-Japanese League on the Oroqen people.As an ancient people who lived on fishing and hunting, the Oroqen people loved freedom and were brave and good at fighting. The Japanese colonists controlled the Oroqen people by providing opium and other conspiracies, and established the Puppet Manchurian Armed Sauron Cavalry and Soli Company mainly composed of Oroqen people. etc., as its accomplices against the resistance.

However, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces also tried their best to contact them many times to win the Oroqen people to participate in the war of resistance.Due to insufficient understanding of the Japanese colonists, some Oroqen tribes once held deep hostility against the United Nations.For example, the Anti-Japanese Alliance once sent people to contact an Oroqen tribe, and one of the liaison officers was killed. The local tribal leader buried his head under a big tree, and sent another person, but he was still killed and buried.The Anti-Japanese Alliance has always insisted on fighting for it. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, 43 skulls were dug out under the big tree... Oroqen's hunters were also incorporated into the puppet military police, and caused great losses to the Anti-Japanese Alliance in the battle with Wang Minggui's troops.At the same time, under the opium offensive of the Japanese and puppets, the Oroqen people were weak in health, poor in medical conditions, and their population gradually decreased. They were almost "naturally exterminated" by the Japanese colonists. It's a hauntingly tragic episode.The Solilian's uprising showed that the Anti-Japanese Federation's efforts to win the resistance of the ethnic minorities were effective.The idea of ​​resisting Japan and saving the country has also penetrated into the hearts of Oroqen people.In fact, there were indeed a large number of heroic and skilled ethnic minority officers and soldiers in the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.Their anti-Japanese feats should also be remembered.
