Zhao Dengyu

After the battles at the Great Wall, he was promoted to be commander of the 132nd Division, the 29th Army and led his troops to garrison Chahar.

On July 27, 1937, during the Battle of Beiping-Tianjin, Zhao led an advance regiment to arrive at the headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, Beijing.

On the morning of the 28th, the main force of the Japanese troops launched a fierce attack against Nanyuan under the fire support of dozens of its fighter planes.

In this battle his right arm and leg were wounded, yet he still remained at the frontline to command his troops in fight.

However, on the way to Dahongmen to the south of the city, he was shot in the chest by Japanese ambush troops and died in action.
