The Life of Zhang Ziliang's Characters

He studied in a village private school at the age of 1 and graduated from Jinan Normal University at the age of 2. At first, he taught in the second higher primary school of Dawu Wharf in this county, and was also a staff member of Wudi County Persuading Institute. Later, he went to Lijin and Wendeng as a teacher, and soon returned to Wudi County as the president of Chengkou and Xiawa Chamber of Commerce. He took advantage of his position as president of the Chamber of Commerce to make friends with the top people in the county, and was absorbed by the Kuomintang county party department as a national party member. In January 1929, the Kuomintang Party Department in Wudi County was reorganized, and Zhang Ziliang was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee. In 1932, due to factional disputes within the Kuomintang, Zhang Ziliang was removed from office and reinstated the following year. After the July 7th Incident in 1937, people in Wudi County organized anti-Japanese groups in succession. In June, the Kuomintang Wudi County Government announced the establishment of the Wudi County Anti-Japanese Support Association, and Feng Jingen, a party member producer, also initiated the organization of the Wudi County Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association. Dissatisfied with the actions of the * * * producers, Zhang Ziliang declared the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association illegal at the primary school teachers' meeting in the county, and sued the initiator of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association to the Shandong provincial government of the Kuomintang, announcing the wanted Feng Jingen, etc. In October, the Kuomintang Wudi county government was paralyzed. In November, Zhang Ziliang, in the name of the Kuomintang County Party Department, got the support of Liu Jingliang, the special Commissioner of the Fifth Special Commissioner's Office of Shandong Province, and started to form vigilante groups in six districts on the basis of the northwest vigilante groups in Xinji Yang Huchen. Then he relied on party member, a national in each district, to unify the vigilante groups in each district into "Wudi County Anti-enemy Self-Defense Group".

in early February, 1938, in the name of Wudi county party department, Zhang Ziliang summoned the leaders of Leling, Yanshan, Xinhai, Qingyun and other counties, gathered in Xiaobotou, Wudi county, and announced the establishment of the "Five County People's League Joint Command", with Zhang Ziliang as the head of the general affairs unit of the joint command. On 24th, the 31st guerrilla detachment led by the * * * production party recovered Wudi County, and the headquarters of Wudi County militia moved to the southeast gate of Wudi City. In April of the same year, Zhang Ziliang accepted the idea of * * * uniting with China to resist Japan, and expressed his support for the "Ten Programs for Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation". The Zhang Ziliang Department of Wudi County Anti-enemy Self-Defense Group was reorganized into the Sixth Route Army of the 31st Guerrilla Detachment. In June, Wudi militia commanded Yang Huchen to die, and Wudi militia was under the command of Zhang Ziliang. After taking command, Zhang Ziliang led Wudi militia to split from the 31st guerrilla detachment. In September, Shen Honglie, Chairman of the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial Government, sent Ning Chunlin, Director of the Security Department of the provincial government, to Wudi point to make up the armed forces. Zhang Ziliang and Feng Ligang handed Ning Chunlin all the lists of the original anti-enemy self-defense groups, and announced the establishment of the "Sixth Brigade of Independent Security in Shandong Province", which was in charge of two groups, with ***23 people, Zhang Ziliang as the brigade commander and the brigade headquarters located in the east of Wudi City. The officers and men of the Sixth Brigade are complex in composition and poor in military quality. Therefore, Ma Zhenru, the major chief of staff who graduated from the Kuomintang Luoyang Step School from the point-to-point group, served as a military coach. Since November, he has been training and training officers at the company level and above in stages in the southeast Guanmajiadian. At the same time, all districts were ordered to recruit and buy horses and expand their armed forces. He also developed a large number of national party member in the army, and set up full-time Kuomintang party cadres in the headquarters, regimental headquarters, battalion headquarters and company to closely control the army.

At the beginning of January p>1939, Fu Zhuting, director of the Political Department of the Hebei-Lubian Military Region, went to the Sixth Brigade of the Kuomintang Security to do United front work. Zhang Ziliang once again accepted the idea of * * * cooperating with the anti-Japanese, signed an agreement of "cooperation between China and * * *, and * * cooperating with the anti-Japanese", and agreed to send people from China to work in the Sixth Security Brigade. Later that month, the Japanese army invaded Wudi City from Yangxin direction, and Zhang Ziliang sent a regiment to stop the Japanese army in the south of Damajia Village. The fighting was unfavorable and Wudi City was occupied by the Japanese army. From the second half of the year, the Japanese army set up strongholds in Chezhen, Chengkou and other places to sweep and chase Zhang Ziliang troops. In order to save strength, Zhang Ziliang ordered the battalions to lurk during the day and swim at night to avoid direct fighting with the Japanese army. At this time, the Sixth Security Brigade was expanded from 2 regiments, 6 battalions and 18 companies to 8 battalions and 28 companies. The expansion of the sixth security brigade was appreciated by Shen Honglie, Chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government of the Kuomintang, and therefore, he was given the post of Director of the Fifth Commissioner's Office of Lubei Administrative Region of Zhang Ziliang. After three months in office, Zhang Ziliang resigned due to the change of the provincial chairman and the reduction of the area under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Commission. Zhang Ziliang's troops fought with the Japanese in Xinyang, Baiyang, Zhang Hu Store, Shifangdian, Dashan and other places for more than 2 times, Gao Baiyang lost a battalion in World War I, and Feng Ligang's department in Dashan Street was defeated and left. Seeing that the Japanese army was ferocious, Zhang Ziliang ordered the troops to be broken into parts in early 194, allowing soldiers to take off their uniforms, hide their weapons and lurk in the countryside. Zhang Ziliang led some armed forces to stay in remote villages in Cui, Liu, Tan and Yang areas, and then went to Tianjin alone, hiding in the home of a businessman he met in his early years. The armed forces were temporarily under the command of Feng Ligang and others. Soon Zhang Ziliang returned to Wudi, continued to recruit new soldiers, and the brigade moved to Dawangzhuang. Then, with Dawangzhuang as the center, 11 villages were delineated and the "North City" was built. At the beginning of 1941, Japan sent more troops to North China, intensified its "mopping up" of the anti-Japanese base areas in China, and at the same time adopted the policy of luring and surrendering the Kuomintang. At this time, Zhang Ziliang, according to Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "dissolving * * *, limiting * * *, and opposing * * *", drove out Fu Zhuting, the representative of Zhong * * * stationed in the Sixth Security Brigade, and secretly killed Zhao Yulin, party member, who worked in the Second Regiment of the Sixth Security Brigade. On January 12, Fu Fenglin, the sixth brigade of the security guard, surrounded the armed forces stationed in the third district of Dazhao Village. Seven people, including the head of the third district, the district squadron leader Feng Jingen and the district party secretary Wang Baoyan, were captured. In March, Ma Zhenru, the operational staff of the Sixth Brigade, led more than 2 troops to attack the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which stayed in Dici Street, to teach the Sixth Brigade. Zhang Ziliang * * * armed forces under siege at the same time, accepted the letter of surrender from the Japanese army in Wudi, and signed an agreement with the Japanese army on "non-aggression, * * * and suppression of * * *" in Peking University. Since then, Zhang Ziliang has completely given up fighting against Japan and waited for an opportunity to create friction with the Chinese armed forces.

In the summer of the same year, Zhang Ziliang rebuilt the Northwest League, and sent Sun Jinchen's department to set up a stronghold in Weijiazhuang, south of the anti-Japanese base area in the fourth district of China, to monitor the activities of the Chinese armed forces and try to squeeze out the Eighth Route Army. At the beginning of 1943, Zhang Ziliang attacked the Chinese garrison of Maoyang, Liangjia and Pozhuang in Qingyun County, killing more than 1 Eighth Route Army soldiers. In March, Zhang Ziliang reorganized the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 6th Security Brigade into an "Economic Guerrilla Brigade", with Zhang Shoulian, secretary of the Party Department of Wudi County, Kuomintang as the battalion chief and Ma Zhenru, a major staff officer, as the deputy battalion chief, and set up intelligence stations in various districts and villages to monitor the activities of * * * and search for * * producers. In July of that year, Zhang Ziliang used the information provided by traitors Xing Renfu and Xing Chaoxing to destroy more than 2 underground traffic stations and killed more than 3 people, including Meng Dequan, secretary of the District Party Committee of the Sixth District. In the autumn of that year, the headquarters of the Sixth Brigade moved from Peking University to Xinyang City. In winter, the Japanese army "mopped up" the Chinese armed forces in the border areas of Xinhai and Yanshan, and Zhang Ziliang sent troops to block the Majia River to prevent the Chinese armed forces from breaking south.

In June p>1944, the Li Mingxuan Department of the Sixth Brigade of Kuomintang Security was surrounded by Qizhouwu, and the political commissar of the 5th Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Armed Hui Detachment, Wang Yuzhuo, was captured and killed. In the winter of that year, Jiang Xuekong, the sixth brigade of security guards, went to 12 villages, such as Zhao Ji, to beg for food money, plundered 17, yuan in cash, and killed 7 family members.

in the spring of p>1945, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression turned from strategic defense to strategic attack. The puppet troops in Wudi neighboring counties fled in succession, looking for backers. Zhang Ziliang took the opportunity to incorporate more than 1,8 people in Wudi Yichuansheng Department, Yangxin Chenghuichuan Department and Zhanhua Mousongshan Department. Zhang Ziliang has repeatedly sent troops to attack the Chinese armed forces, limiting their development in Wudi. In May, more than 2,3 people were sent to meet the Liu Xianquan Department of the Eighth Route Army and prevent it from entering the hinterland of Wudi. In June, Zhang Ziliang changed to the banner of "Jicha Theater Advancing into the Tenth Column", and Zhang Ziliang was appointed as the commander of Major General. Soon, the Japanese army concentrated along the railway, and Zhang Ziliang took the opportunity to enter Wudi City. After Zhang Ziliang entered Wudi City, the puppet troops and residual bandits who were defeated by the * * * army in northern Shandong successively came to Wudi, in an attempt to cling to the stubborn six brigades and fight with the * * * soldiers and civilians. Zhang Ziliang saw that the stubborn six brigades in the past had been expanded into a "mighty army" with a population of 1,, and he was immediately arrogant. While dreaming of "long-term stability", he reinforced the city and repaired the fortifications. He widened the tall and solid wall made of cyan ancient bricks to six to seven meters and raised it to 18 meters; All the houses near the city wall were demolished, and the surrounding area was opened up as an open space; The ditches and ponds on the east and west sides are connected to form a natural barrier; Around the six passes (east, west, south, north, southeast and southwest) of the county, a moat with a width of 25 meters and a depth of 5 meters was dug, and bamboo sticks were inserted all over the moat, filled with sewage; There are also traps and bright and dark vitality points on the edge of the city, and obstacles such as Abatis and Meihuazhuang are set up; There are 2-meter-high towers on the four corners of the city wall, and all sides of the tower are dark shooting holes; North Pole Temple in the north of the city and Tianqi Temple in the southeast of the city are located on several high platforms. In particular, Haifeng Tower, a Tang Dynasty building in the southeast, is as high as 3 meters. When it reaches the top of the tower, it can be seen for dozens of miles in Fiona Fang outside Wudi City, and it can control Liuguan and several villages near the southeast of the city with firepower. Four 2-meter-diameter bunkers were built near the puppet county government and Zhang Ziliang "Column Command". Zhang Ziliang arrogantly called Wudi City an impregnable "Golden Soup City".

While Zhang Ziliang was painstakingly managing the defense system, the main force of Bohai Military Region severely attacked Zhang Jingyue, the Kuomintang die-hards who had always collaborated with the Japanese and the Puppet, in Shouguang County, and eliminated a major scourge of the military and civilians in the three strategic areas of Jiaodong, Bohai and Binhai. In August 1945, Yangxin, Huimin and other counties were liberated successively. In the * * * counter-offensive army victory, make Zhang Ziliang began to nerve-racking, deeply the situation is not good. He has visited the defense facilities inside and outside Wudi city many times and made careful military arrangements. He sent the first detachment of his so-called elite troops, Zhanghua South, to be stationed near four big bunkers and other key parts in the city. The second detachment, Luo Jingyi, was stationed in Dongguan; Cheng Huichuan, Zhao Zhongshun and Mou Songshan of the third and fifth detachments are stationed in Nanguan, Southeast Pass, Haifeng Tower and Tianqi Temple; Ai Chuansheng of the third detachment was stationed in Xiguan; Zhang Guanting Department, Jiang Xuekong Department and Gao Bingchen Department of the Guard Brigade are mobile units; Wu Zanxun, the seventh detachment, was stationed in Beiguan. In addition, a small number of troops were stationed in Shisanli Village in the northeast of the city and Xiaomajia Village in the southeast of the city. These two forces are like two tentacles, extending to the periphery of Wudi City; In Xinyang City and Dazhuang, which are more than 1 miles away from the city in the north, a small number of troops were also stationed to monitor and contain the troops of the * * * army. At that time, Zhang Ziliang analyzed it like this: "The south gate fortifications are solid, and the garrison is the elite of our division; * * * The army surrounded a certain city with people roughly equal to me, and it was already poor, so how could it pounce on the South Gate? If it comes, it is like throwing an egg at a stone. This is contrary to the usual practice of military strategists, so it is determined that it will not be aggressive in the south gate ... "

In September p>1945, the main force of the Central Bohai Military Region followed the important instruction of Chairman Mao and Commander Zhu De to" violently expand the liberated areas "and swept the stubborn enemy from east to west with an avalanche, and then marched to the north. On the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, after the troops received an order from Yang Guofu, commander of the Bohai Military Region, to attack Wudi, the main forces of various military divisions, independent regiments and independent camps in various counties assembled at the scheduled place as quickly as possible. A mighty and magnificent team, on the road leading to Wudi, sometimes flies like a long dragon in the sky, and sometimes swims like a fish under the water. Although it is an urgent March day and night, the soldiers' mood is very high. The gauntlets and resolutions flew like snowflakes to the commanders of the troops. More than 3, militiamen actively signed up to join the army, dug trenches, carried materials, prepared stretchers, and were always ready to contribute everything. On September 11, all the troops and militia arrived at the scheduled place one after another. Soldiers from the 1st and 4th Army Divisions and more than 3, militiamen from Wudi, Yangxin, Zhanhua and Qingyun began to dig a hundred-mile-long blockade ditch around Wudi City, and also built high bases in key areas, so as to monitor the enemies in the city and block them from breaking through. Although Zhang Ziliang often sent people to shoot and harass the city, the construction went on as usual. As soon as the soldiers of the regiment directly under the military region and the secret service battalion put down their backpacks, they immediately put into combat preparation. The gunners were busy wiping the shells, saying that they would ask Zhang Ziliang to taste the fierce mortar shooting; Explorers are busy binding explosive charges, ready to let Zhang Ziliang take a "soil plane"; People in Wudi, Yangxin and Qingyun have been pulling grain, vegetables and adobe for building fortifications, carrying soil guns and cannons to participate in the battle; Woodworkers from all counties rushed to make ladders day and night. Commander Yang Guofu and other leaders visited the gates to see the terrain, understand the enemy's movements, check the siege preparation and study the siege plan.

In the early morning of September 12th, the spy battalion, the main force of the Bohai Military Region, was ordered to approach the Tianqi Temple in the southeast of Wudi City. According to the instructions of Commander Yang Guofu, it was preparing to cut off the highway from Chengkou to Yangxin and close the south gate of Wudi. Suddenly, the scout reported that an enemy was found in Xiaomajia village, which is 3 miles away. Song Jialie, the company commander of the third company of the secret service battalion, ordered that this situation be reported to the superior immediately. At this time, it is only over an hour before dawn, so we must quickly surround and eliminate this stubborn bandit and cut off the contact between Xiaoma's family and Tianqi Temple on the defensive. Using the green tent as a cover, the soldiers sneaked into the entrance of Xiaomajia village and captured the enemy sentry alive. When Sanlian rushed into the village, the officers and men of the Sixth Brigade were still asleep, and they were captured one by one under the bright bayonets of the soldiers. There was a small official who squatted on the ground and kept nagging: "Damn it ... Damn it ..." It turned out that their boss Zhang Ziliang also said in the briefing on the afternoon of the 11th: "There is no * * * army within 15 kilometers of Fiona Fang." The octagonal building in the city also sang a drama in the middle of the night, but before waking up, he became a prisoner. At night, the * * * siege army completely cut off all the links between Wudi City and the east, south and west directions, and the Huimin detachment also broke through Shisanli in one fell swoop and approached Beiguan. At this point, the * * * army's encirclement of Wudi City has been formed. More than 6, people in Zhang Ziliang were put into pockets by the Chinese army, just like turtles in a jar.

on the morning of 13th, Zhang Ziliang ordered his troops to attack in several directions in an attempt to test the main attack direction of the * * * army, but they were all hit back head-on by the siege army. Only more than 4 enemies in the south of the city, the * * * army put them on the west side of Damajia Village, and prepared to capture them together to understand and verify the garrison situation of the Sixth Brigade Corps in the city. When this group of enemies was close to the * * * army position, the enemy troops on the defensive in the city hurriedly fired, and dozens of shells fell on their heads, most of which were blown to pieces, and the rest of them ran back to the city. Since then, Zhang Ziliang has stuck to the six levels and never dared to attack again. Only Tianqi Temple and Haifeng Tower outside Wudi City are still occupied by him. Tianqi Temple is an important peripheral position of Zhang Ziliang and the barrier of Haifeng Tower. If you want to win Haifeng Tower, you must first occupy Tianqi Temple. Zhang Ziliang's men, Zhao Zhongshun and Mou Songshan, are both blood-stained outlaws, and they rely on the dark castle to hide here. At 9 o'clock on the 14th, the secret service battalion of the military region launched a surprise attack on the enemy troops on the defensive in Tianqi Temple. Numerous cannons fired at Tianqi Temple together, and in a flash, the whole Tianqi Temple was submerged in a sea of fire and smoke. Zhang Ziliang also frantically poured shells at the * * * army positions, and Haifeng Tower held down the enemy troops on the defensive and shot at the siege army. More than 3 officers and men of the Sixth Brigade are dying, howling and fighting back at the secret service camp of the military region. The commanders and fighters of the military region used the broken wall to fight back bravely against the enemy. The enemy howled and struggled like a cut sorghum, and staggered down, and the body was laid layer after layer in front of the position. The officers and men of the Sixth Brigade, who fought back, finally stepped down like the tide of the sea under the fierce attack of the siege army. In order to recapture Tianqi Temple, Zhang Ziliang began to organize a new counterattack. He ordered the troops like wolves to go in groups.
