In February, there is a two-story Romanesque building in the east of Ningdu City, which is located on the bank of the Meijiang River. The whole building is a brick and wood structure, there is an arched corridor on the upper and lower floors, the construction area is about 700 square meters, and the courtyard covers an area of 2,000 square meters.
The grounds are lined with greenery, flowers, and a pleasant environment. Although the building seems inconspicuous now, in the early thirties of the last century, it was the most luxurious building in the entire county.
What is special about this building is that it witnessed the Ningdu Uprising on the night of December 14, 1931, which shocked the whole country. At that time, the 26th Route Army of the 1More than 70,000 officers and soldiers with more than 20,000 pieces of ** joined the Red Army en masse, and this was a major event that took place in this building.
In order to let future generations remember this historical event, we should delve into the historical background of the building and dig out more details about the uprising, so that more people can understand this history and inherit the red gene.
The 26th Route Army stationed in Ningdu, except for the officers who left the unit, the rest received an invitation letter from Chief of Staff Zhao Bosheng. In the evening, they will attend a grand "Celebration of Receiving Salaries".
Despite some difficulties with the environment and eating habits of the South, these northern soldiers gladly accepted the invitation. Life of the 26th Route Army in Ningdu was not easy.
They are not accustomed to the mountains, waters, and jungles of the south, and the weather is rainy and the air is humid. The staple food is mainly rice, and there is a lack of pasta, and the soldiers in the north are not accustomed to the water and soil in this environment, and the diet is not comfortable.
In addition to the epidemic of dysentery, malaria, and other diseases, there are "four fears" among the troops: one is afraid of the Red Army, the second is afraid of rain, the third is afraid of rice, and the fourth is afraid of getting sick. These difficulties have plunged officers and men into negativity, wandering, depression, and despair.
However, when they received the invitation from Chief of Staff Zhao Bosheng, they were all very happy. This is an opportunity to get out of the situation and find hope. They are looking forward to participating in this "Celebration Banquet", enjoying the food and feeling the warmth and care of the team.
This feast is not only a celebration of their salary, but also a celebration of their ability to persevere in the face of difficulties, supporting and encouraging each other.
When the military pay was paid, everyone happily attended the banquet. According to the plan, officers above the regimental commander level were invited upstairs and set up a "private seat" there, where Chief of Staff Zhao Bosheng personally greeted them to their seats at the staircase.
The guards of these officers were placed on the lower floor, and there was a special person in charge of serving the food and drink.
At the banquet, Zhao Bosheng invited the officers to drink and eat as much as they wanted, and the atmosphere was very warm. The guards of the brigades and regiment commanders downstairs were skillfully arranged in their seats by the fighters of the special service battalion, and a platoon commander patted his mouth lightly, which was a signal to go downstairs to move, and the soldiers immediately put their guns against the waists of the guards, and they were all disarmed, without any movement, everything was carried out in a simple manner, without any interference.
The platoon commander walked upstairs, gently patted the gun on his waist, came to Zhao Bosheng's side, and whispered a few words. According to the previous agreement, Zhao Bosheng knew that the problem downstairs had been solved, so he put down his wine glass, his original smile disappeared instantly, and solemnly introduced the current situation and the situation of the 26th Route Army to the officers present, and announced the uprising at the request of the majority of officers and soldiers, joined the Red Army, returned to the north to resist Japan, and let the officers present express their opinions.
He slammed his glass on the table, a pre-agreed signal, and the guards in charge of the guard rushed to the second-floor ballroom. An overly nervous fighter mistakenly buckled the submachine gun, and the sound of gunfire startled the officers present.
In an instant, there was an uproar in the audience, and most of the officers were deeply moved by the words of the chief of staff and expressed their firm support. However, some people were stunned by this sudden news, and they were at a loss for what to do and worried.
Of course, there were also a very small number of people who immediately objected and prepared to fight, but were immediately killed by the guards who were on guard, and the rest were disarmed and arrested. The officers were all kept under control and each was asked to immediately convey the order for the assembly of troops.
Under the protection of the guards, Zhao Bosheng, Dong Zhentang, Ji Zhen, and other leaders of the uprising were successfully evacuated. Zhao Bosheng immediately declared martial law in the whole city, and solemnly pointed out that today's new password is "liberation".
The guard received this new revolutionary command, and his excitement was indescribable, and he quickly conveyed the password to all the troops, and the whole army rejoiced, all of them revolted and successfully joined the Red Army, becoming an important force in the Red Fifth Army.
These rebel officers were all detained and entered the Jiangxi Soviet District together. Next, let's introduce Feng Anbang, commander of the 26th Brigade of the 80th Route Army after being reorganized into the Red Army.
Feng Anbang, formerly known as Jingshu, the word Huamin, the name Enshan, is a native of Dianzi Village, Xinyang Township, Wudi County, Shandong Province. The family has been cultivating and reading for generations, and enjoys a high reputation in the countryside.
Feng Anbang's father, Feng Weitian, was the chief of the five products during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, but later his family fell into the middle of the road and his life was very difficult. In order to make a living, the teenage Feng Anbang had to carry sacks in the county seat to survive.
In 1900, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the people were struggling to make a living. Feng Anbang chose to leave his hometown and join the army, hoping to change his fate. After the Xinhai Revolution, Feng Anbang became the commander of the cavalry platoon under Feng Yuxiang, and was gradually promoted to the positions of engineer company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander.
He served as a brigade commander in the 48th Brigade and the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Northwest Army, and served as a division commander and acting chairman of Ningxia Province in the 28th and 23rd Divisions. In the Central Plains War, although the troops led by Feng Anbang were defeated, he was still appointed as the commander of the 80th Brigade of the 27th Division under Sun Lianzhong.
Despite many setbacks and difficulties, Feng Anbang always maintained his perseverance and continued to improve his abilities, eventually becoming a well-respected military leader.
Feng Anbang was detained by Zhao Bosheng during the Ningdu Uprising, and although he was unwilling to continue in the Red Army, he still got the approval of his superiors and returned to his hometown with 300 oceans of entanglement.
However, he did not go home, but immediately returned to the old leader Sun Lianzhong, and was appointed as the commander of the 27th Division of the rebuilt 26th Route Army, and was stationed in the area of Yihuang and Le'an in Jiangxi, and continued to be the enemy of the Red Army.
In this Yihuang county town surrounded by mountains, the Red Army began to attack, but this city wall was built on the high ground, and Mount Emei in the south of the city, Beihua Mountain in the west of the city, and Zhuowang Mountain in the east of the city were all strongholds of the enemy, and it was difficult to approach.
There were also enemy fortresses on the high ground north of Xiaojiatao on the east bank of the river. In addition to this, the enemy defended along the city walls, stubbornly resisting with strong fortifications. However, the Red Army launched a general attack on Yihuang, and the two sides fought fiercely at the south gate and southeast gate, and finally entered the city, and most of the defending enemy was annihilated.
The remnants of the enemy fled from the east gate to Keeldu, and the Red Army was ordered to pursue, and the division was basically wiped out, capturing more than 2,000 enemies, capturing more than 1,000 rifles, more than 20 machine guns, more than 20 mortars, 3 radio stations, thousands of bags of rice and noodles, more than 500 barrels of gasoline, and a lot of axle loads.
Feng Anbang suffered a crushing defeat in the battle with the Red Army, so he was dismissed from his post and went to the Army University for further study, and after graduation he came to the 27th Division as a division commander. After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, Feng Anbang led the 27th Division to North China to participate in the battle.
His first appearance was in the Battle of Niangzi Pass, where he confronted the Japanese 20th Division. Niangzi Pass is the eastern pass of Shanxi, if it is lost, the whole of Shanxi will lose the last barrier, and the Japanese army will be able to advance quickly, and then occupy important cities such as Taiyuan, and obtain a large number of minerals and resources.
Therefore, we must resolutely resist, even if we pay a heavy price and shed blood, we must keep the Japanese army out of Niangzi Pass.
Relying on his geographical advantages, Feng Anbang launched defensive counterattacks many times, assisting other surrounding troops to hold the defensive line and engage in a desperate battle with the Japanese army. Despite heavy losses, the Japanese were unable to break through the defensive line.
However, in the end, Niangzi Pass was lost, and Feng Anbang was promoted to lieutenant general of the 42nd Army. Although he was only in charge of a division, this did not affect his heroic performance in this blocking battle and positional warfare.
Feng Anbang's 42nd Army received the order, immediately rushed to the front line of Taierzhuang day and night, Taierzhuang, is a small town of 1,000 residents, located in the northeast of Xuzhou dozens of miles, the canal passes through the city, nearby coal, dozens of miles away from the coal mine Zaozhuang, there is Yixian in the middle, a branch railway will Lincheng - Zaozhuang - Yixian - Taierzhuang - Pizhou several towns connected, as a traffic artery, Taierzhuang is the northeast gateway of Xuzhou, the Japanese army rushed straight in.
Feng Anbang's 27th Division fought against the Japanese army in Liujiahu, faced with the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food and being seriously wounded, but still resisted desperately with the Japanese army until it finally died with the Japanese army.
According to the "Battle Details of the 10th Infantry Wing" disclosed by the Japanese army after the war, Feng Anbang's 27th Division showed incomparable determination and courage in the battle, and all the defenders stubbornly resisted to the end, and even overlapped each other in the narrow skirmisher territory, fighting to the death.
This kind of tragic battle scene is so tragic that even the enemy will sigh when he sees it. Although there were interpreters who persuaded them to surrender, there were no responders. This fully demonstrated the fearlessness and sacrifice shown by Feng Anbang's 27th Division in the battle.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the soldiers of the 27th Division performed well in the Battle of Taierzhuang, successfully clearing the enemy troops in the city, causing a total of 20,000 Japanese troops, and the battle achieved a decisive victory.
In this battle, Feng Anbang performed bravely and was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun. However, due to the severe attrition of the troops due to continuous combat, Feng Anbang incorporated his troops into Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Army, and himself went to Xiangyang to contain the stragglers.
However, the Japanese planes carried out a heavy air raid on Yangyang, and Zhaomingtai and Dongmen Street were bombed into ruins. In the midst of this chaos, Fung showed extraordinary courage and calmness, but he was unfortunately wounded in the abdomen and died on the same day at the age of 54.
He was posthumously awarded the rank of General of the Army in recognition of his heroic deeds.
Although Feng Anbang did not join the Red Army during the Ningdu Uprising, his bravery during the war also won admiration. Later generations once wrote such a poem to praise him: "100,000 horsemen advance and retreat together, and 3,000 soldiers live and die together."
Heroes have their own souls to return to, and they are self-reliant. After his death, in order to remember this hero of the Anti-Japanese War, people erected a statue and a memorial hall for him to commemorate his heroic deeds.
