Japanese officers make marksWarriors sacrificed.
On December 2, 1943, the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps was officially upgraded to the Dongjiang Column of the Guangdong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force, with Zeng Sheng as commander, Lin Ping as political commissar, Wang Zuoyao as deputy commander and chief of staff, and Yang Kanghua as director of the Political Department.
The unit consists of seven brigades, with a total strength of more than 3,000 troops. Since its establishment, the Dongjiang Column has continuously launched attacks on the Japanese puppet army, and has carried out 148 battles in just half a year, successfully annihilating more than 1,000 enemy troops, and prompting a puppet military battalion and a temporary regiment to surrender, increasing the strength of the army to more than 5,000 people.
At the end of October 1944, the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Dongjiang Column received the task of its superiors: to attack the Xintang Railway Station. This railway station is an important supply station for the Japanese army on the Guangzhou-Kowloon railway line, and if we can capture this place, we can destroy the Japanese army's material reserves in this area, and play a very important role in cooperating with the large army.
At that time, there was a company of puppet troops stationed in the railway station, and the Japanese army in Zoanan served as the station commander, and there were Japanese strongholds in Yonghewei and Xiancun, not far from the station, which could support the puppet army in the station at any time.
Brigade Leader Xiao Guangxing decided that Deputy Group Leader Zheng Weiling would first lead intelligence staff officer Xu Feiteng, squadron leader Wu Huang, and soldier Wang Run into the station to reconnoiter and find out the enemy's strength and defensive deployment, and then formulate a corresponding battle plan.
On November 1, Zheng Weiling disguised himself as a commissioner sent to the Yonghewei Police Station from Guangzhou, Wu Huang disguised himself as an assistant of the Yonghewei Police Station, and the other two disguised themselves as attachés.
Cheng Wai Ling plays the role of a businessman and pretends to talk business with Anan; Xu Beiteng and Wu Huang are in charge of the environment and topography of the investigation office; Wang Run observed the location and distribution of firepower points.
They performed skillfully in the tiger's den, and despite the dangers, they were calm and did a great job. After listening to the report, the captain Xiao Guangxing decided to raid the Xintang Railway Station at night.
The specific deployment is: Wu Huang's squadron is responsible for eliminating the puppet army, and Zhou Yingfen's pistol team is responsible for capturing Anan alive. Lu Zhongxiang's squadron and a demolition squad were responsible for setting mines and blocking the Japanese puppet army with reinforcements, while Zhuo Juemin's squadron and Song Gang's squad served as reserves.
On the evening of November 2, 1944, the troops set out from the village of Shiji in Yau Ma Shan, and after a long march to the predetermined position, they cut the barbed wire. Two commando fighters crossed the railroad from south to north, heading straight for the railway station office and the puppet army barracks.
The puppet army sentry was contained before he could shoot, and both the puppet army and Anan, who were sleeping, became prisoners. The battle was clean and clean, and the warriors returned with booty and prisoners on their faces.
On the way, Anan behaved unusually actively, shouting and shouting. In desperation, the fighters had to gag his mouth with a towel and beat him with the butt of a gun. However, Anan was cunning, and he used the excuse of insecurity to get the warriors to untie him.
When the soldiers tried to re-tie him, he pretended that his arm hurt and insisted that they would not be tied. As a result, he was not ** again, but it led to the death of 8 fighters.
Anan was carrying a cigarette on his body, and we did not search him after he was captured, so he crumpled the cigarette and scattered it on the road as a marker. Because with a lot of booty and prisoners, the troops did not march fast.
Until dawn, the Japanese troops dispatched from the Yonghe Wei stronghold followed the guidance of the tobacco and caught up with the 2nd Independent Brigade.
After the war began, many puppet troops took advantage of the chaos to escape, and Anan also wanted to slip away, but was clung to by the soldiers. Considering the enemy's absolute superiority in forces and firepower, we cannot afford to fall into a protracted war.
Therefore, the captain Xiao Guangxing decided to break through immediately and leave a squad for cover. Under the leadership of squad leader Huang Sheng and the heroic resistance of the soldiers, they successfully dragged the enemy, but in the end they all died heroically.
Anan was one of the few high-ranking Japanese commanders who was captured during World War II, and after being educated by our army, he joined the Anti-War League and was sent back to Japan after World War II.
