On the fifth day of the third lunar month in 1945, at that time, the Japanese invaders Hedu Cavalry Wing attacked south in two ways. One of the teams, more than 800 cavalry and more than 1,000 infantry, carrying more than a dozen cannons, arrived at Caigou Village at about 9 o'clock that night. Caigou Village was guarded by a battalion of the 336th Regiment of the 12th Division at that time.
In the face of the menacing Japanese army, the battalion commander Zhao Fuxing immediately commanded the first infantry company and the machine gun company to guard the eastern, western, and northern gates of Caigou Village, while the special team of the Kuomintang Shangcai County Security Regiment guarded the Nanzhai Gate under the leadership of captain Sun Liren. The two teams worked together to defend against the Japanese invaders heading south.
The next day, the Japanese invaders besieged Caigou Village and organized infantry and artillery to launch a fierce attack on **. Fierce fighting lasted from 10 a.m. to noon. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers launched a fierce attack on the wall, but the soldiers of the same hate, united as one, bravely resisted, although a large number of Japanese soldiers fell outside the wall, but still held their positions.
Not to be outdone, the Japanese invaders saw the heavy losses and immediately concentrated dozens of artillery pieces to bombard Beizhaimen indiscriminately. By about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Beizhai Gate was destroyed, and a large number of Japanese soldiers with bayonets swarmed in. Despite this, ** fought valiantly and finally succeeded in resisting the attack of the Japanese invaders.
At this critical moment of life and death, the soldiers fought bravely regardless of their personal safety!They fought to the death with the Japanese invaders in the west and north of the walled gates, and even engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat!However, when Sun Liren's special forces guarding Nanzhaimen were attacked by the Japanese invaders, they were forced to retreat to the paper mill in the southeast corner of the village, and continued to resist stubbornly with Zhao Fuxing's battalion commander at Dongzhaimen.
Despite the best efforts of the soldiers to fight the Japanese invaders, due to the disparity in strength, the large number and well-equipped Japanese invaders, and the continuous artillery bombardment, the paper mill was quickly destroyed. In the end, the battalion commander Zhao Fuxing was captured by the Japanese army, Sun Liren's special team also suffered a heavy **, and Caigou Village fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.
After the capture of Caigou, the Japanese army began to brutally dispose of the bodies of their dead compatriots. They placed more than 40 bodies on a cart, lit a raging fire, and burned them.
It is incomprehensible that these sinful Japanese soldiers inhumanely threw some seriously wounded soldiers into the fire!The whole process is filled with miserable cries and painful moans, showing the cruelty and barbarism of the Japanese invaders, which is shocking and embarrassing. The next day, the ** large army rushed to Caigou for reinforcements and successfully repelled the Japanese invaders.
The corpses inside and outside Caigou Village are everywhere, the houses are collapsed, and the eyes are full of devastation, all of which are tragic portrayals of the anti-Japanese battle. However, the anti-Japanese warriors showed tenacity and bravery, which deserves our deep admiration and memory.
