In 1944, a reconnaissance squad leader of the Eighth Route Army in the Jire Border Area entered the city to inquire about the intelligence of the Japanese puppet army. When leaving the city, the Japanese guards saw through the squad leader's disguise and arrested the squad leader. In the face of torture, the reconnaissance squad leader softened his bones and revealed confidential information to the Japanese invaders, killing 430 cadres in the border area.
How important was intelligence work during the war years?It can really be said that "one hair affects the whole body", and the lessons of history are painful. In the autumn of 1944, in the face of the upcoming Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was preparing to hold an important meeting to discuss the next strategic plan.
On the eve of the meeting, a reconnaissance squad leader in the border area received an order to enter the city to investigate the recent movements of the Japanese puppet army. Early in the morning of the second day, the reconnaissance squad leader dressed up as a vegetable vendor, carried a vegetable burden, and entered the county town tightly guarded by the Japanese puppet army. When he came to the entrance of the Japanese military police headquarters, the reconnaissance squad leader put down the food and began to shout.
At dusk, the reconnaissance squad leader secretly monitored the whole day before collecting the vegetable stall and preparing to return to the troop station. He never expected that the Japanese spies had already set their sights on him and quietly followed him. It turned out that the reconnaissance squad leader's actions were too abnormal, and his eyes kept staring at the gate of the Japanese gendarmerie, which aroused the suspicion of the Japanese sentry and reported it to the Japanese special service team.
As soon as the reconnaissance squad leader reached the city gate, several plainclothes agents rushed out and arrested the reconnaissance squad leader. Soon, the leader of the reconnaissance squad was escorted to the Japanese military police prison, where he was severely tortured and tortured by the Japanese invaders. In the face of the coercion and temptation of the Japanese invaders, the reconnaissance squad leader softened his bones, chose to shamelessly betray, and became the lackey of the Japanese invaders.
Soon after, the reconnaissance squad leader was released and returned to the Jire border area. On October 16 of that year, the Eighth Route Army Jire Border Region held a meeting in Fengrun County, which was attended by more than 800 cadres. When the reconnaissance squad leader learned the news, he secretly contacted the sleeper agent and told the enemy.
That night, the Japanese puppet army stationed in Feng, Luan, and Qianxian counties gathered more than 3,000 people and came to kill the refuge village. After learning of the enemy's situation, the Jire border area moved the venue to the Yangjiapu area. In the early morning of the 17th, the Japanese army followed, surrounded Yangjiapu, and launched a fierce attack from all directions.
The officers and men of the Eighth Route Army fought a bloody battle with an enemy several times their size with simple fortifications, and the ground of Yangjiapu was soaked in blood. In the evening, only more than 120 cadres managed to break through the siege, and a total of more than 430 cadres died heroically, and the revolutionary cause suffered heavy losses.
After an investigation, the leader of the reconnaissance squad who leaked the secret was arrested and brought to justice, confessed his despicable act of defecting to the enemy, and was severely punished by military law. The bright stars fell in the hot land of eastern Hebei, and Huaxia lost its pillars, which is really sad.
