Yesterday afternoon, the seventh sister of Hongmiao Village near Baiguo Town, Jintang County. Speaking of 90-year-old Yang Yaohui (formerly known as Yang Genkui), all the villagers nearby know, "Oh, he fought in the war. I used to listen to him like watching a movie. "
The anti-Japanese war veteran, who had been dormant in the farmhouse for decades, came into contact with a person who had a deep study on the history of the anti-Japanese war the day before yesterday, and his former glory was unexpectedly "discovered". This person was so excited that he was "widely publicized" in Weibo yesterday, causing a sensation in the industry.
Yang Genkui lives with his youngest son Yang Zuzhi's family. Speaking of his experiences in those years, the old man has a clear mind and a clear tongue. The names of troops and officers above company level are rare. Yang Genkui said that he only used the name Yang Genkui in the army.
I can speak simple Japanese and have three anti-Japanese medals.
As the only evidence that he used to be "eight hundred heroes", Yang Genkui carefully took out a small wooden box slightly larger than a matchbox, pushed open the elaborate sliding cover on it and took out three old badges. 1. According to various battle records, in the process of "eight hundred heroes" retreating into the concession, the machine gun platoon (that is, the last Yang in eight hundred heroes reported in the news) was used as a cover to evacuate the wounded first. Xie Jinyuan led the machine gun company behind, and then the second company and the third company retreated in turn. There is no such thing as a "death squad". Moreover, the Japanese army only blocked the retreat with artillery machine guns and did not launch personnel attacks. It is impossible that "Yang Genkui's left forehead was cut open by the Japanese bayonet".
2. According to Weibo of Tang Jianguang, editor-in-chief of Looking at History:
Many friends questioned eight hundred heroes's identity. I talked with him for 4 hours today, and I will relay the details for your reference: 1. Join the army. Yang Yaohui was born in 192 1 year, 1936. Because he didn't want to be a blacksmith, he went to Shifang to join his cousin and was transferred to the third battalion of the 857th regiment of the Second Brigade of the Sichuan Army in Fan Shaozeng 10. In the same year, around 10, envious of the treatment of the Central Army, he went to Chongqing to join the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of Sun 88th Division 1 2nd Battalion. He said that at that time, the 88 th Division was the elite of the army, with a unified helmet, and the soldiers were all plaid uniforms and leather shoes, and they never defaulted.
The problem is: by the end of June 1936 and 10, the "Sichuan Army 2 1 Army" named by Mr. Yang Genkui did not have the serial number of "857 Regiment". The reorganization and centralization of the Sichuan Army experienced a "top-down" process, and the Corps was ranked according to the national army before and after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the following year.
According to the military history of the 88th Division, Wanxian entered Sichuan in 1935 and returned to Wuxi in 1936.
3./kloc-0 joined the army in Shifang in the first month of 936.
Before the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the 43rd Sichuan Army (including only 26 divisions) participating in the Battle of Songhu was stationed in Duyun and Dushan in southern Guizhou.
