1in the spring of 938, under the unified command of Zhu De and Peng, the general and deputy commanders of the "Second World War East Route Army" jointly organized by the state, Li Jiayu led a fierce battle with the well-equipped former Xiongmi Department of the Japanese invaders (more than 10,000 people) in Dongyang Pass and Changzhi. During the battle of Changzhi, Lijiayu Army 104 Division 3 12 Brigade 624 held the city for two days and nights. Under the indiscriminate bombing of Japanese planes and artillery, the north gate fell, and the officers and men bravely fought hand-to-hand with the enemy, killing and injuring more than 1000 people. In this battle, Li Jiayu battalion commander Yang, company commander Yang Xianmo, Xia, Huang Gaoyi died heroically, and deputy head Du was seriously injured. In the battle of Dongyang Pass, the battalion commander Zhou Cexun died heroically (the above casualties were all from Pujiang County except Yang and Xia). Although Li Jiayu defeated the enemy in the first battle against the Japanese aggressors, there were more than 1000 casualties. Later, the Licheng county government built the "Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall" in Dongyang to comfort the loyal soul. From March to May of the same year, Li Jiayu was ordered to lead the 47th Army. With the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese guerrillas, they stormed and recovered several counties in southern Shanxi, such as Pinglu, Ruicheng and Anyi, which were occupied by Japanese invaders, and the former Eighth Route Army strongholds, with outstanding achievements.

In the winter of 1939, Li Jiayu was promoted to commander-in-chief of the 36th Army, commanding 7 divisions of the 14, 17 and 47th Army. /kloc-in the spring of 0/940, Li Jiayu learned that Commander-in-Chief Zhu De of the Eighth Route Army had gone to Luoyang for a meeting from Wuxiang, and when he passed by his residence, he sent a company to meet him and gave a banquet. That night, Zhu De had a heart-to-heart talk with Li Jiayu on issues such as unity against aggression, resistance to Japan and democracy. The next morning, when Zhu De and his party crossed the Jin Bo 'ai Highway blocked by the Japanese army, Lijiayu sent a reinforced company to protect the smooth transit of Zhu De. 1940 In April, Li Jiayu commanded the 47th Army and three anti-Japanese guerrillas to cross the front line in the yard south of Jincheng, causing heavy casualties to the invading Japanese puppet troops and killing more than 0/000 people. At one time, his 104 division regained lingchuan county.
1940 ~ 1944 During the spring, Lijiayu Department was responsible for the Yellow River defense in Shan County, Mianchi, Lingbao and Ganxiang. During this period, Li Jiayu repeatedly sent troops to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and the anti-Japanese guerrillas, crossed the river to attack the Japanese aggressors in southern Shanxi, destroyed forts, killed the enemy and seized many pieces of weapons and equipment. 194 1 February, a condolence group from all walks of life in Sichuan Province came to work in Danielle, Lingbao County. Li Jiayu wrote an inscription: "People want to serve their country, and dying in the battlefield is a good end" to show their ambition to serve their country. 194 1 At the beginning of the year, the Japanese invaders, who had lost the initiative in the war, implemented the strategy of "opening up the mainland traffic lines" to cooperate with their Southeast Asian battlefield, and assembled four divisions (including 1 tank division), four independent brigades and 1 cavalry regiment in the battlefield of Shanxi and Henan/kloc-0. Although we have detected the enemy's situation, Jiang, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy's first stop, did not hold a meaningless military meeting in Luoyang until mid-March. When the Japanese army began to attack, it was the first river to abandon Luoyang and hide in the west. Seven group armies and three armies, including Lijiayu, Gao Shuxun and Sun, which were originally assembled near Luoyang, lost their command and had to retreat to western Henan, but the Japanese aggressors pursued them. The ministries retreating in Xin 'an and Shengchi will understand that Li Jiayu expressed the overall situation and volunteered to make sacrifices for the ministries. Answer supplement
In May, Li Jiayu came to cover the retreat of friendly troops, and launched a blocking war in Yunmeng Mountain with a regiment of 104 Division Wu Changlin, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors and bought time for withdrawing troops. The five regiments fought fiercely because they attacked the top of the mountain, killing more than 900 people. Lijiayu retreated to the south of Xin 'an and was attacked on all sides. Master Peng (from Pujiang), head of the 532nd regiment of the Li Jiayu School178th Division, led the way around the iron gate to cover the safe retreat of the Fourth Army of Sun, a neighboring army. Master Peng died in a fierce battle with the Japanese invaders in Heshanggou while performing his mission. Answer supplement
In the massive "Battle in Central Henan", 400,000 Chinese National Revolutionary Army troops were defeated in front of10,000 Japanese invaders, and the troops directly under the government of the Republic of China and the miscellaneous troops were evacuated to western Henan urgently. 2 1,1may 2, 9441,1may 2, 9441morning, on the mountain road of dongyaoyuan, Shaanxi county, the 36th Army Command was marching. At this time, Li Jiayu is in a chaotic and hasty retreat to the west, and her mood can be imagined. /kloc-0 led his troops out of Sichuan in September, 1937, and from the winter of 1939, he was ordered to be stationed in the Yellow River line west of Jin Meng, north of Xin 'an and east of Mianchi. During his four years in Henan, he has been constantly struggling with the Japanese invaders. He has long been familiar with the hilly land in western Henan, but I'm afraid he still agrees with the richness of the land of abundance. The battle of Henan, which started a few months ago, should be hard to explain in the mind of the commander-in-chief of the group army. Answer supplement
1At dawn on April 8, 944, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army 12 crossed the Yellow River in Zhongmu, between Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, and stormed the Chinese National Revolutionary Army here. The Spring War was called "Battle of Henan" by the Japanese aggressors and "Battle of Henan" by China. 1944, with the defeat of the Pacific battlefield, the Japanese aggressors were unable to cope with the whole war. Jiang, commander of the first theater, and Tang, deputy commander of the eighth army, commanded 400 thousand troops, but they were quickly defeated in the battle of central Henan. By the fall of Luoyang on May 25th, the Chinese National Revolutionary Army had lost 38 cities in 37 days, that is, one city a day. Answer supplement
At the beginning of the battle, the Chinese National Revolutionary Army was aware that the enemy was going to attack. At the Luoyang military conference in March, Li Jiayu suggested to Jiang, "Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, it is better to strike first, bomb the Mangshan Mountain (the position of the Japanese invaders at the southern end of the Yellow River Railway Bridge) by plane, and then pretend to cross the river to contain it." But this suggestion was not adopted by the commander. After the Japanese invaders crossed the river, it took only two days, that is, on April 20, to occupy Zhengzhou. Li Jiayu is obviously worried about the prospect of war. He conveyed the meeting to his officers and said, "After the war started, Luoyang was very dangerous. Although our troops are very strong, we don't attach importance to equipment. Moreover, all the arrangements must be decided before you dare to act. In this way, the flexibility of remote deployment will be lost, and rubber columns will inevitably appear in the future. " What worries him more, however, is that the Luoyang meeting "not only did not decide how to deal with the enemy, but also did not change or strengthen the deployment at all. It only talked about transferring the officers' families, heavy luggage and important documents to the rear." Answer supplement
In fact, there is a reason for Li Jiayu's antipathy. As early as 1942, the commander of the 14th Army once told Li Jiayu that there was not much our army could do if Tang, Hu Zongnan and other Chiang clique wanted money and weapons. Since then, Li Jiayu has often told this passage to his subordinates, which determines that he is a team with miscellaneous brands, so he can only play a supporting role in the play. However, the supporting actor soon found that he had to sing a big play, because the protagonists Jiang and Tang had fled to the west. All the armies that lost their commander-in-chief also withdrew westward. On May 17, Li Jiayu, Liu Kan, Zhang Jipeng and Hu Bohan successively arrived in Zhaiya, a small and medium-sized town in the mountainous area. At an impromptu meeting during the day, the generals agreed that it was not the way for a large group of people to rob the road. In case the Japanese attack, they will suffer heavy losses and push Li Jiayu as the commander in chief. Li Jiayu said generously, "If we continue to move westward tomorrow, we will steal the back of the temple and avoid crowding together, which will make it difficult for both of us." .

The 36th Army Command marched to Zhang Jiahe, Shan County. This is a valley bottom, and it will be noon. Since the morning of May 18, the troops of Lijiayu have taken on the task of covering the retreat of friendly forces. In the next three days, the information received showed that the Japanese invaders were getting closer and closer. Before arriving in Zhang Jiahe, due to the enemy's shelling, Li Jiayu changed his marching route and took the road from Zhaojiapotou-Xipo-Shuangmiao to Nansi. This change made Li Jiayu and the headquarters of the 36 th Army on the verge of death. On may 2 1 day, chief of staff Zhang found the marching route inappropriate and said to Li Jiayu, "commander-in-chief, let's have a look before we go." Li Jiayu's answer was beyond Zhang's expectation: "Don't look, just obey". Zhang found the tone of the commander-in-chief a little angry. While speaking, the sound of a rifle rang out from behind, and soon, there was a dense sound of machine guns on the hillside in the southwest ahead. Zhang intends to send two platoons of soldiers to occupy the top of the slope first, and then the staff of the headquarters will go up, but Li Jiayu said "no" and immediately said, "Send a squad of infantry. If you meet the enemy, only rifles are allowed, and masturbation is not allowed. If you masturbate, the enemy will know that I am a senior headquarters. " In this way, Zhang Jiahe came to the bottom. Answer supplement
Li Jiayu and the Army Command had a short rest in Zhang Jiahe, during which Li Jiayu also asked the local people about the road conditions, and then the troops began to climb the front hillside, Qiflagling. The advanced spy soldiers came back soon and reported to Li Jiayu: "The mountains are all Japanese, with wheat on their heads, and they are well disguised. Please ask the commander and chief of staff to take the slider and go. " Li Jiayu turned and walked back when she heard the news, and Zhang also walked back. However, the Japanese invaders on the hill had already charged down, and the first division of the headquarters secret service company and some officers and men of the headquarters scattered on the hillside could not resist and fled separately. The Japanese invaders rushed down and separated Li Jiayu from Zhang. The attacker was part of the 69th Division of the First Army of the Japanese Invaders. They had intended to pursue Gao Shuxun's troops, but they didn't expect to succeed in ambush at Qiflagling. Later, they once thought that the senior general who was killed was a commander of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, but they did not expect that the deceased was the commander-in-chief of a group army. Answer supplement
Li Jiayu, wearing a yellow uniform and boots, failed to escape the bullets of the Japanese aggressors. A soldier who was injured at the same time later recalled that he ran with Commander-in-Chief Li and saw Li Jiayu being shot twice by the enemy and a Grenade fragment. Li Jiayu also struggled to run a few steps and finally fell to flagpole ridge. Follow the headquarters of the 47th Army 104 Division to the scene, and offer a reward for collecting 5 fighters who dare to die. They rushed to flagpole ridge and snatched Li Jiayu's body back in a corner. Li Jiayu's body was immediately transported back to Sichuan. Before retreating, in order to boost morale, Li Jiayu once gave a poem to his subordinates: A man who wants to serve his country will die in battle. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the flagpole ridge appeared. Four years after General Zhang Zizhong, Commander-in-Chief of the 33rd Army, died in the Battle of Zaoyi, another commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, Li Jiayu, died heroically in the Battle of Central Henan.

After Li Jiayu's Anti-Japanese War, patriots from all walks of life in Sichuan held a grand memorial service for him. Therefore, in June 1944+ 1, Chongqing Xinhua Daily published a short commentary: "We mourn the martyrdom of General Li Jiayu in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression" and "The martyrdom of General Li Jiayu in this battle should be respected by the people of the whole country". Liu Yazi, a well-known social figure, once wrote a poem for Li Jiayu, saying, "When Wan Li fought in the Central Plains, his former teacher suddenly reported the decline of the stars. Returning to the yuan is like a stranger, and Changhong mourns. " 1on June 22, 944, the government of the Republic of China posthumously awarded him as an army general, entered the memorial hall and awarded him a commendation order. Later, the state funeral ceremony of Li Jiayu's body was held in Chengdu, and the body was buried in Nanhong archway outside Chengdu. Answer supplement
