Conquer the savage village and bury the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army alive.
On the way to the mountainous area, the personnel of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army led by ** unexpectedly found a woman in a deserted place.
One day in July 1938, ** and his party went to the north of Laishui County to investigate, and they were looking for a suitable place to use as a base area. The terrain in this area is steep, the roads are rugged, and there is almost no trace of human beings in sight.
Suddenly, one of the fighters shouted. In the direction of the warrior's finger, an astonishing sight appeared: a barefoot, topless **, her hair combed into a drum-like dragon bun, hanging large, heavy copper earrings, walking freely in the mountains.
Seeing *** and a group of people, this woman screamed as if she had seen a monster and fled to the depths of the big mountain pass.
**During the inspection, I found that there were many villages in a large mountain pass. He didn't know that they had stepped into Yesanpo at the junction of Fangshan and Laishui. This area covers an area of about 45 square kilometers and consists of uphill, medium and downhill slopes.
In the steep mountains, the inhabitants of Sanpo are isolated from the rest of the world, forming a world of their own. They have retained the traditions and habits of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times, including men not cutting their hair, women not binding their feet, combing their heads in special buns, and wearing large earrings with a diameter of about 10 centimeters.
Because they opposed the rule of the Qing Dynasty and hoped to "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty", the Kangxi Emperor once ordered them to be forbidden to participate in the imperial examinations and gave them the character "Ye", and the name "Ye Sanpo" has been known to people since then.
The people of this region are in a state of autonomy and do not accept ** sent by their superiors. Their leader is called the "Old Man" and is recommended by the residents, while the natural villages are led by the "Tou Tou", similar to the village chief.
Although it is only about 200 kilometers away from Beijing, due to the steep mountains and extremely closed information, their thinking is still stuck in the Ming Dynasty. They regarded outsiders as enemies of the "Manchus" and rejected them all and adopted a hostile attitude.
If strangers enter by mistake, the mountain people will search and torture them, and even strip them naked and throw them out of bounds. If the person carrying ** enters by mistake, it will be killed, even if it is a soldier.
Therefore, it is called "Savage Village", and people are afraid to enter it easily. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wei Lihuang's battalion retreated from Nankou and accidentally came here, only to be shot by them and buried more than 100 people alive.
Here, too, our army ran into trouble. In the spring of 1938, Deng Hua, political commissar of the Jinchaji 1st Division and commander of the Pingxi detachment, sent several soldiers to reconnoiter in the Pingxi area, but they were caught by the mountain people of Yesanpo and brutally buried alive.
General Deng Hua's experience is not unique. Two cadres of the 3rd detachment of the 4th division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were also killed on the same road section. After learning of this, the ** commander was very angry and personally led people to investigate.
Upon investigation, he was surprised to find that the place was actually controlled by some foreigners who called themselves "missionaries". These "missionaries" came to Yesanpo decades ago under the cloak of religion, first corrupting the local rulers, and then building churches in the central town of Zishikou to control the thoughts of the mountain people through missionary work.
In fact, these missionaries were only for profit, and they were interested in the abundant products of Yesanpo. Due to the ignorance of the villagers, they exchange daily necessities with the villagers for local products, and then sell them to earn high profits.
In the Yesanpo area, some "old people" have been co-opted by the missionaries, and they obey the orders of outsiders and do not allow them to enter, which is the order of the missionaries. The reason is that they want to monopolize the resources here and not let outsiders in.
The missionaries took in some stragglers and remnant bandits, who had the money, bought ** from outside, trained these people, organized them into troops, and commanded them to resist outsiders.
The existence of these illegal armed forces has affected the construction and development of anti-Japanese base areas, and if the Japanese army colludes with the missionaries, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, in the seventh lunar month of 1938, the commander ordered Yang Chengwu, commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji 1st Division, to clear out the illegal armed forces in the Yesanpo area and show no mercy to the rebellious enemy.
After receiving the order, Yang Chengwu led the 1st Divisional Special Service Battalion and the 2nd Regiment and 1 Battalion to prepare to eliminate the illegal armed forces. He learned that there were only 200 illegal armed forces, so he chose the powerful Ox Knife.
Why did he use a knife to kill chickens? There are two reasons: first, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack; Second, they are afraid that the masses who do not know the truth will be involved. In the evening of the next day, they arrived in the Yesanpo area.
The mountain road there is rugged and steep, only 30 centimeters wide, the bushes on both sides are taller than people, and the cries of fierce beasts can be heard from time to time in the mountains, which makes people creepy and adds a lot of horror atmosphere.
Yang Chengwu looked at it and frowned. Obviously, this place is not easy to fight. He warned the soldiers not to be careless, and to fight this force as if it were a Japanese army. Yang Chengwu led his troops straight to Zishikou, the heart of Yesanpo, and they were taken aback when they arrived.
It was dead silent, the doors of the church were empty, and there was not a single pedestrian on the stone streets. People went to **? Yang Chengwu frowned and decided to investigate further.
Through investigation, Yang Chengwu found that this illegal force had actually been wiped out by the local guerrillas. He realized that the operation, although it was difficult, was ultimately successful.
His decisions and courage have made people look up to him.
Before the arrival of the Eighth Route Army, the "old man" got the news and called an emergency meeting. The "missionary" said to the thugs: "The outsiders will soon come, and they will behead everyone when they come, so you must resist to the death, and you will be rewarded with 100 pieces for killing an enemy, and a foreign girl for killing 5, and 5 acres of land." ”
The thugs were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they all pumped their hands and let out bursts of shouts. The missionaries knew a little about military affairs, and they decided to abandon Zishikou and move to the mountains to occupy favorable terrain to counterattack.
Knowing that the enemy might be transferred, Yang Chengwu looked calm and confident. At this time, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out on the mountain. Yang Chengwu showed joy on his face when he heard this, and turned to the trumpeter and said, "Blow the trumpet!" ”
On the hill over there, soon a loud military horn sounded as well. It turned out that Yang Chengwu had expected that the other party might come to this hand, so he divided the troops into two routes and let the special agent battalion go to the mountains to intercept and ambush the enemy.
After a while, the battalion commander of the special service battalion came and reported to Yang Chengwu: "The bandits are very cunning, as soon as they saw that it was the Eighth Route Army, they were immediately frightened and went into the mountains, do you want to search the mountains?" ”
Yang Chengwu thought for a while and said: "No, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, the enemy is in the dark, I will definitely suffer in the light, I can't search the mountains at night, and I will talk about it at dawn." ”
Yang Chengwu added: "As long as we get in touch with the mountain people in Yesanpo and do a good job in their ideological work, we can give the enemy a salary." The commander of the special battalion found Yesanpo's "urging leader" and repeatedly told them that now that the "Japanese invaders" had invaded China, and we should unite to expel foreign enemies.
Yang Chengwu's ingenuity lies in his foresight and superb command ability. He is able to accurately ** the actions of the enemy and make the most advantageous decisions.
At the same time, he also knows how to use the resources of the local people and do a good job of ideological work to achieve the best results. This wisdom and courage enabled him to remain calm and decisive in the face of difficulties and dangers, and ultimately achieve victory.
I can get the mountain people to cut off their supplies, and they'll be finished soon. In this way, the problem is solved, the soldiers of the special service battalion are very capable, good at fighting evil battles and fighting wisely, and Yang Chengwu let them serve as the main attackers.
Other troops, under the command of Yang Chengwu, blocked all the intersections. Although the troops established by the missionaries were well-equipped, they were all rabble, and as soon as they heard that it was the Eighth Route Army coming, they immediately lost their will to fight and scattered in a mess.
Moreover, they did not bring military rations when they set off, and the mountain people were not reliable, and there was no food **, and the morale of the army was immediately in chaos. In the end, Yang Chengwu succeeded in eliminating the gangs organized by the missionaries in just three days.
In Yesanpo, the thinking of the mountain people underwent a profound change, and they became staunch supporters of the Eighth Route Army. In order to support the Eighth Route Army in fighting the enemy, the elders of Yesanpo ordered the mountain people to give their full support.
Mr. Li Gongpu, a social activist, visited Yesanpo after the liberation and found that the local people had accepted the new ideas, re-elected the village chief with progressive ideas, and obeyed the command of the Eighth Route Army.
The people of Yesanpo and the Eighth Route Army were like a family, and many young people spontaneously joined the anti-Japanese team. In an anti-"sweeping" operation, the Eighth Route Army asked an uncle from Yesanpo to be a guide, and he bravely led the troops and blew up the machine gun positions of the two devils, and he himself was wounded.
In 1992, General Yang Chengwu and his wife came to Yesanpo.
When the general revisited his hometown, he was full of emotion, and he said that the people of Yesanpo were simple-minded and kind-natured, and after being educated, they all returned to the right path. They performed heroically in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and their contribution to the war cannot be ignored.
We dig deep into the history of the war, promote positive energy, welcome everyone to contribute, we will reply as soon as possible.
