Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Keren was Li Shang's classmate in the fifth batch of Baoding Military Academy. He studied artillery. There were a total of 630 students in the fifth batch of Baoding Army Officer School. They all enrolled in 1916 and were supposed to graduate one month later.  , but Wu Keren, like Li Shang, joined the Chinese Army in advance six months ago, and both fought side by side in Lu Huanyan's Duli Armored First Regiment.  

    Wu Keren was previously the artillery company commander of Lu Huanyan's Armored Regiment, but his rank was promoted to major after the Battle of Ufa. He was originally supposed to be transferred to the mixed brigade of Li Mingzhong's 9th Division to serve as the artillery battalion commander, but he was unwilling to do so.  After leaving the 1st Armored Regiment, I ended up with the rank of major and commanded the regimental artillery company of the Armored Regiment

    As a result, yesterday, Xue Juru led a company to turn a Ukrainian artillery regiment upside down on the east bank of the upper reaches of Kharkov. With the support of the air force's air strikes, they captured a Ukrainian 105mm light field howitzer.  With the battalion's 12 cannons and the six captured 75mm field guns, Lu Huanyan upgraded his regimental artillery company to the Duli Artillery Battalion of the 1st Armored Regiment.

    Major Wu Keren has achieved good results and can finally command an artillery battalion. Moreover, it is an artillery battalion with two 6-gun 105mm German howitzers. At this time, more than half of the gunners in his duli artillery battalion are from the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division.  For the prisoners who surrendered, the entire battalion had one 6-gun Japanese-style 75mm field artillery battery, one 6-gun German-style 75mm field artillery battery, and two 6-gun 105mm howitzer batteries, in terms of the number of cannons and firepower.  All above other coalition artillery battalions.

    The only shortcoming is that the German-made 75mm caliber guns and 105mm field guns were captured from the battlefield. The coalition logistics has not yet been able to supply such guns. Fortunately, in the battle of the upper forest of Kharkov yesterday, the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division  and the 2nd Division all dropped no less than two bases of artillery into the hands of the coalition forces. On the original Ukrainian central artillery position behind the trench position on the northern border, the hastily retreating Ukrainian artillery also dropped a large number of originally hoarded artillery.  

    Don¡¯t underestimate Li Shang¡¯s classmate Wu Keren. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Li Shang was just an unknown student in the fifth batch of Baoding Army Officer School. After graduation, he disappeared from everyone. Among the graduates of the fifth batch of Baoding, Fu Zuoyi  He and Wu Keren are both prosperous guys.

    Although Wu Keren's subsequent development is far from comparable to that of Fu Zuoyi, compared with hundreds of other graduates from the Baoding Period, Wu Keren, who graduated first among the 91 graduates of the Artillery Section of the 5th Period of Baoding, is definitely a famous general.  Moreover, in Wang Geng's previous life, this guy joined the Anhui Clan's border defense force organized by Xu Shuzheng after graduation. Following the defeat of the Anhui Clique in the Zhi-Anhui War, the border defense force was absorbed by the Feng Clan, and classmate Wu Keren has since become a member of the Feng Clan.

    Wu Keren (1894-1937, also known as Jingshan) was born in a peasant family in Sandaowan, Ning'an County, Jilin Province in 1894 (the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty). He attended a rural school to receive enlightenment education in his childhood. After the founding of the Republic of China, he attended the county high school and middle school.

    In 1904, the Japanese-Russian war broke out in the three northeastern provinces. However, the Communist Party of China declared the so-called "outsider neutrality" and allowed the Japanese and Russian invaders to trample the beautiful and fertile Northeastern land into a huge rubble field.  .

    Wu Keren's childhood was spent in this tragic scene of foreign invasion and war. Like thousands of passionate men of his generation, the seeds of hatred for the invaders were planted deep in his soul since he was a child.  Determined to grow up and serve the country.  At first, he attended a private school in his hometown, and later with the help of relatives and friends, he attended the county primary school and middle school. Due to the constant war, family life was unsustainable, and his parents tried to support him until he finished middle school, but he dropped out of school.

    As a result, he abandoned literature and martial arts. In 1911, he was admitted to the Jilin Army Primary School. Students were paid at public expense. In addition to food, housing, and clothing, each student was given a pocket money of one to two yuan per month. In 1914, he was promoted to Beijing.  Army High School.  B¨§ijing Army Middle School is located in the suburbs of B¨§ijing, six or seven miles away from Qinghe Town, so it is commonly known as Qinghe Army Middle School.  The schooling lasts for two years and has been held for four periods. Wu Keren¡¯s is the third period.

    There are more than 600 students in this phase of Wu Keren, and the curriculum is divided into academic and technical subjects.  The main subjects include Chinese language, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history and geography, and foreign languages; the main technical subjects include infantry, code, internal affairs regulations, military training (equestrian, martial arts, spear spearing and formation), and field exercises.

    In 1916, Wu Keren graduated with honors and was promoted to the fifth phase of the Baoding Army Officer School, where he was assigned to the gunnery department.  The principal at that time was Yang Zude, a native of Linqing, Shandong Province. He graduated from the third phase of the Japanese Military Academy. He had been engaged in military education for a long time. He was experienced and sincere in treating others. He had the demeanor of an elder and was deeply loved by the students.  Yang Zude served as the principal of Baoding Military Academy for three years, the longest tenure among all previous principals. His tenure was also one of the periods when the order and teaching quality of the military academy were the best.  At Baoding Military Academy, Wu Keren cultivated his military academic foundation and mastered the necessary military knowledge for modern soldiers.

    The teaching content of Baoding Military Academy at that time was divided into: 1) Tactics: command and application of tactics; arrangement and application of strategy; reconnaissance and judgment of enemy situation; combat order, determining vanguard, rearguard, flanker, etc. according to the application of the army;  The battle needs to be determinedThe name of the battle is divided into attack and defense: encounter, pursuit, retreat, etc.  Detachment of separate units was also organized to disrupt the enemy, and actual attack units were organized to attack on time.  2) Fortification Architecture: Construction of various fortifications, such as artillery forts, machine gun forts, dug foxholes, communication trenches, underground fortifications, etc.

    3) Topography: According to combat needs, control favorable terrain (including offense and defense), transform terrain, turn disadvantages into advantages, and exert combat power.  4) Communications: The use of equipment to form communications, allowing commanders to maintain smooth communication with combat troops and command operations.  5) Tactical training: divided into regular warfare, land warfare, guerrilla warfare, using sand table to lay out tactics, etc.  Field training is held once a week, with actual shooting and instructors providing personal guidance.

    Before graduation, a joint exercise was held.  Artillery, infantry, baggage troops, and engineering troops were all dispatched to cooperate, dividing the war zones between the two sides, and conducting practical exercises as a pre-graduation assessment.  In 1916, not long after Wu Keren entered the school, President Li Yuanhong visited the school to inspect and attend the third graduation ceremony.  In his lecture, Li Yuanhong encouraged everyone to seriously study and serve the country with loyalty and loyalty.  This intense scene left a deep impression on Wu Keren.

    During his schooling, Wu Keren studied hard and achieved excellent results.  Among the more than 630 cadets in the fifth phase of Baoding Military Academy, 47 are from Jilin Province; among them, 12 are from Ning'an County, Wu Keren's hometown.  This has nothing to do with the fact that Ning'an was located on the front line of national defense in the Mudanjiang River Basin, which was ravaged by Japanese and Russian invaders.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Wu Keren graduated from the 5th Artillery Section of Baoding Military Academy in 1918 and was assigned to serve in the Anhui Border Defense Force.

    Of course, in this current time and space, on the banks of the Volga River in 1918, Wu Keren is ushering in the opportunity to command an artillery battalion for the first time in his life.
