How were the three ** climaxes of Jingshan Beishan crushed?
Zhang Xianhao. Fourth, the third ** climaxIn April 1942, the Kuomintang reactionaries took advantage of the Japanese invaders to launch the Pacific War, dispatched troops in China to the south, and the Japanese invaded Wuhan on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line when the Japanese army was empty, setting off the third ** climax. At this climax, the Kuomintang authorities in the five theaters used larger troops and lasted longer. In central Hubei, he took Chen Dingxun, commander of the 45th Army, as the commander of the "clean-up" campaign, and led the three divisions of the army, as well as the 1st Division, the 6th Column, the 9th Regiment, and the 5th Theater to become independent.
The first and second detachments and other troops, among which the temporary first division is Jiang Zhi's descendant, the most resolute. Chen Bing was on the front line of the ancient city, Liudian, and the holy field, trying to invade our big mountain first. The main force of our division was concentrated in the area of Pingba, and "the tiger must be moved before moving its teeth", and it was decided to launch a battle in the holy field and give the temporary 1st Division a complete annihilation. However, before the battle began, the 1st Division had already moved the main force westward and invaded our Beishan. The battle of the Holy Field annihilated only two battalions of the division. The anti-stubborn battle in Beishan began, and the 1st Division still captured Tianmen Pass and Lumuling first, and then climbed the high mountains on both wings, advancing step by step. Under the command of Comrade Zheng Shaowen, commander of the Anti-Japanese Security Command, our side served as the guard regiment and the special service regiment (adapted from the Hongshan detachment). At this time, I was already serving as the chief of the reconnaissance section of the Anti-Japanese Security Headquarters, and Comrade Zheng Shaowen decided: 1. A company was transferred from the guard regiment, and a group composed of Cao Yunqing, the head of the regiment, Zhou Kairuo, secretary of the Northwest District Party Committee, and three people, under the unified leadership of Comrade Cao Yunqing, was still inserted into the front line of Yangjiaji, the left flank of the recalcitrant army, and flanked the recalcitrant army. 2. It was decided that Peng Youde, the captain of the "Beijing Resistance" Brigade (the political commissar is still Zhou Kairuo), will lead the brigade and still adhere to the front line of Bajiachong and Tongjiachong, and troubled the recalcitrant army from the stubborn back. A few days after we arrived at Yangjiaji, the stubborn first division had already entered and occupied my Xiangjiachong, Xiaohuanling, and Bazimen. The Anti-Japanese Security Command withdrew to the front line of Dingjiachong, and sent Huang Deqin, director of the Political Department, and Comrade Zhou Maolin, deputy head of the special service group, to lead a company of the special service group to meet us in the Yangjiaji area. It is planned to carry out a broad anti-stubborn struggle from the flanks. However, the first division did not enter after entering the Bazi Gate. He also transferred the strength of a regiment and a detachment of Cao Miao to the flank, stationed in Yangjiaji, and sent troops out every day to search for our army. Often it starts in one place and comes everywhere. It was a hot summer, and there was a great drought in 1941, and the autumn harvest did not appear that year, so it was very difficult for the military and the people to eat. We are fighting this lack of food, ammunition, and medicine. Every day I fight, every day I climb mountains, every day I starve. I can't stay in the mountains. Once, we moved to live near the Gyeongjong Highway, and the enemy at Sunqiao and Guanqiao came out to surround us, but fortunately we discovered it early, and first seized the favorable terrain and repelled it, wounding several of our men. On the third climax, the Kuomintang took advantage of the outbreak of the Pacific War and the relative reduction of Japanese troops in China to let it go. It is a characteristic that he uses a large number of troops and lasts for a long time. Another characteristic is collusion with Japanese counterfeiters. Cao Miao once sent people to ask the Japanese puppet army in Jingshan, Anlu and other places to cooperate in "attacking and suppressing" our army. And publicly declared at the mass meeting: "Chairman Chiang ordered that Japan and China cooperate to solve the New Fourth Army this time." The Japanese puppet army also kept its promise, stopped the "sweep" of the Kuomintang army, and attacked our army one after another. We were surrounded and attacked by the Japanese puppet army near the Jingzhong Highway, not locally, but a microcosm of the entire Henan-Hubei border area. Similar situations have occurred in eastern and southern Hubei and other places in central Hubei. Kitasan was difficult to hold onto, so we moved to Namsan. Soon after, Commander Zheng also led an independent regiment from Dingjiachong to Nanshan, and at this time, the party committee of our border region, the administrative office of the border region, and its subordinate organs, troops, hospitals, and schools had all been transferred from Beishan to Nanshan, and then Jingtian and Han were transferred away one after another. Commander Zheng led the special task force to recuperate in Nanshan for a short period of time, and then returned to Dingjiachong in Beishan. Since then, sometimes in the north and sometimes in the south, he has always insisted on dealing with stubbornness. In order to adapt to the situation of the struggle at that time, the party committee and division party committee of our border region decided to abolish the anti-Japanese security order and establish a military sub-district, and Comrade Zheng Shaowen was transferred to central Hubei (the Second Army sub-district) as commander. In addition, the Luxi Anti-Recalcitrant Command was established, with Comrade Zhou Zhijian as commander, Comrade Wang Haishan as deputy commander, Comrade Wang Han as political commissar, and Comrade Zhang Zhiyi as director of the Political Department. Comrade Wang Han was unable to arrive at his post due to illness, and was led by Comrade Zhang Zhiyi, political commissar.
Ten. The 3rd and 15th brigades launched an anti-stubborn struggle against central Hubei Province. In late August, when Commander Zheng finally traveled from Beishan to Nanshan, and left Jingshan to go to the Second Army Subdivision of Central Hubei Province via Tiantian and Han, he transferred the five companies of the special service regiment under his command to the 43 rd Regiment as the first battalion under the leadership of Comrades Lin Guangyao and Zhao Wenbin with the consent of the party committee of the border region and the party committee of the division. One company was led by Comrade Zhou Maolin and incorporated into the 44th Regiment, with Zhou Maolin as deputy commander. Another company was led by Commander Zheng to central Hubei. As soon as the special service group left Beishan, the first detachment of the stubborn sixth column took advantage of the situation and occupied the front line of our Dingjiachong. After the establishment of the Luxi Anti-Recalcitrant Command Division, the 13th Brigade crossed the Pinghan Line and arrived in the Jingshan area of our country. On 19 September, one of our 13th Brigade and one of the 15th Brigade first counterattacked the stubborn 6th Column of the 6th Column that had invaded our Dingjiachong, annihilating one brigade, and all the rest broke and fled, retreating to the line of Dahuanling and Xiangjiachong, close to the Kuomintang garrison in Dahongshan. Fifth, the battle of Daxiao HuanlingThe battle of Daxiaohuanling was personally commanded by Comrade ***, the division commander. All the heads and commanders of the Luxi Anti-Recalcitrant Command participated. I received a telegram from the division's front-line headquarters and rushed from Zhao's house. When I arrived, the "Shiqian" had already entered the first line of Shuiyangquan and Bazimen. The tasks assigned to me by the division commander were: first, to find out the troops, outposts, and distribution of the stubborn Sixth Column in the areas of Daxiaohuanling and Xiangjiachong; Second, draw up a combat map that is more detailed than 1/50,000. After I accepted the task, under the personal leadership and specific guidance of Chief Li Zaishan of the Divisional Staff Office, on the one hand, on the basis of the Divisional Staff Office's knowledge of the enemy's situation, I dispatched scouts to further verify and verify the situation. On the other hand, with the help of Comrade Gao Lidi, a surveying and mapping staff officer of the division's general staff, he used a map of 1/50,000 to determine the direction and enlarge it, and filled in some villages, roads, rivers, and bridges in the central part entirely from memory. In particular, according to the requirements of the division commander, the highlands, passes, cottages, and sheep intestines of the two wings of the high mountains extending from the Dahuan Ridge forward were all clearly depicted. After the map was drawn, the troops, outposts, and distribution of the six stubborn columns, the stubborn Jingshan County, and the national militia (i.e., the county brigade) were filled in one by one. I don't know whether it was the second or the third day, Comrade Xiannian personally presided over a meeting, which was attended by Comrades Zhou Zhijian and Zhang Zhiyi of the Luxi Anti-Recalcitrant Command, Zheng Shaowen, commander of the Central Hubei Military Division, Li Zaishan, chief of staff of the Central Hubei Military Division, Li Renlin (who did not take up his post later), Chen Yizhen, director of the Political Department of the 13 th Brigade, Xu Jinbiao, head of the guard regiment, and Wang Jinxian, political commissar. After carefully studying the map for a while, Comrade Xiannian took out the Honglan pencil, quickly drew many arrows on the map, and then put down the pencil and said to the participants: "In this battle, we must first take Dahuanling. There are two ways to play, you see which plan is better. The first plan was to attack the front of Dahuanling with the guard regiment, the 13th Brigade.
Three. Ten. The 7th and 39th regiments detoured back to the right flank of Dahuanling, the 15th Brigade.
Four. Ten. The 3rd and 44th regiments detoured back to the left flank of Dahuanling, concentrated their forces, and first annihilated Cao Xun's third detachment. After the victory, then the battle progressed in depth. The second option is to solve the third detachment with the Guards Regiment, the 37th Regiment, and the 43rd Regiment. The 39th Regiment captured the Xianren Village, Shuangjian Village, and Tianmen Pass on the right flank. The 44th Regiment captured Gongjialing, Xinzhai and Taipingzhai on the right flank. After capturing these commanding heights, Tianmen Pass and Taipingzhai both inserted their main forces into the line of Qiaotou Bay at the foot of the mountain to surround and block the fleeing enemy. In this plan, Cao Miao's entire column is basically within my encirclement. After reading Comrade Xian's speech, he paused and said: "I think, these two plans are not good for Cao Miao's duck team, and it slipped away as soon as it heard the sound of breaking bamboo tubes." In the end, it can only be annihilated and defeated. You guys think about it, which is the best way to play? During the discussions, everyone agreed on the second option. At the end of the meeting, Director Li ordered me to go to the 15 th Brigade with Chief of Staff Li Renlin to convey the "division-front" battle plan. The next day, in the drizzle, I set out with Chief of Staff Li from the Bazi Gate. In order to avoid being discovered, we took rough trails and large circles. The 30-mile trip took a whole day. Along the way, the rain gradually fell heavier. When we arrived at Yujiahe, the headquarters of the 15 th Brigade, it was almost dusk, and Brigade Commander Wang Haishan received a telegram from the "division front" that he had prepared a meal for us. Chief of Staff Li hurriedly conveyed the battle plan to Brigade Commander Wang, hurriedly ate, and set off in a hurry, hurried to the meeting venue of the meeting of cadres above the battalion level that Brigade Commander Wang had arranged in advance at Huashiyan. At this time, the rain was pouring in, and the eaves splashed on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard of the landlord's courtyard, and the noise was deafening. I'm worried about whether the "division front" will change the battle plan? A staff officer sent a telegram and first handed it to Brigade Commander Wang, who glanced at it, handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Li, and said loudly to the participants: "The battle plan remains unchanged. Both Brigade Commander Wang and Chief of Staff Li conveyed in extremely brief language the operational plan and specific arrangements for the "front of the division." The meeting ended in just 10 minutes. I was approved to the Forty-fourth Regiment upon request. The predecessor of the 44th Regiment was the 10th Regiment, and I happily became the "guide" of Comrade Huang Dekui, the "old political commissar," with the task of capturing Taipingzhai. After the meeting, night had fallen. In the harvest field, in the fields, on the hills, through the rain, I vaguely saw that there were people gathered everywhere. The battle order "in front of the division" flowed into the hearts of every soldier like a slippery stream. The troops set off. The rain, still roaring loudly, the sky, the black cauldron of elephant mouth, turned over and clasped the earth. The troops walked on the bumpy mountain road, and the rocks on the mountain were pushed down by the torrent, impacting houses, trees, fields, and seedlings. Luckily, none of our team hit rocks or were swept away by the torrent. Some of the horses led the horses by the tails, and the warriors walked one after the other, pulling the backpack of the previous one. From Huashiyan to Taipingzhai, the mountain road is only 30 miles, and we walked all night. At dawn, I arrived at Yin's house, and the trip was only half. There was a small stream and river in Yinjiajia, and the flash flood was surging, and when crossing the river, unfortunately two soldiers were washed away. After dawn, the rain finally stopped. In order to win the battle, Political Commissar Huang Dekui ordered vigorously: "Pass backwards, hurry up!" "Pass backwards, hurry, hurry! "The troops waded through two torrents of streams and rivers in one breath in the autumn wind and rustling of fallen leaves, climbed three mountains, and finally climbed the high mountain that connected with Taipingzhai, only to catch their breath, at this time, in the direction of Dahuanling, the battle had ended, and it was quiet. On the left commanding heights Gongjialing and Xinzhaizi, and on the right wing of the commanding heights Xianren Village and Shuangjian Village, there was the sound of machine rifles and grenades that were tight and sometimes loose. Political Commissar Huang organized troops to launch an attack on Taipingzhai. Taiping Village originally had two gates, east and west, we attacked the west gate, the stone wall was very high, the recalcitrant army made fortifications in the wall, two machine guns were mounted in it, and the front was an open field, which was difficult for the attacking troops to approach. The first attack was unsuccessful. The second time, Political Commissar Huang ordered a heavy machine gun squad to come up and use heavy machine guns to block the enemy's machine gun holes and launch an attack. At this moment, the 39th Regiment, which was late due to heavy rain like us, started at Tianmen Pass. Now the enemy faltered, and the machine guns dragged away. So we entered by the west gate, and went out by the east gate, and pursued after us. Qiujiawan, at the foot of Taipingzhai, is the first station in Jingshan County, and all signs indicate that the enemy fled in a hurry. We even seized mahjong and smoking guns, and the bed was still warm. On the road ahead, except for a few tatters, the enemy had fled. As Comrade Xiannian said, any kind of play is not as long as the legs of Cao Miao's duck team. After a while, another stubborn army of sixty or seventy people sprang out in the direction of Dahuanling. This recalcitrant army fell behind by blocking and covering his column headquarters. They rushed down the mountain, and when they reached the vicinity of Qiujiawan, they were surrounded and blocked by our 44th Regiment and the 39th Regiment each from Tianmen Pass and Shuangjian Village, and all of them were annihilated. The battle is over. In this battle, I captured more than 200 guns of various kinds, six light machine guns, and one mortar. Unfortunately, Comrade Zhu Fang, chief of staff of our 39th Regiment, died in the battle. The next day, the people who had been captured by the stubborn sixth column returned. It is said that due to heavy rain and flash floods, the six columns were all isolated to the west of the Chang River (Dafushui), and the lantern torches passed all night. A lot of horses and baggage were washed away. The wives and ladies of the "four more teams" had and diapers floating all over the river. After crossing the river, they walked to Sanbuling and were blocked by the 29th Group Army of the Kuomintang Sichuan Army, and they could not pass, so they had to retreat to the east of the Changhe River and the west of Luohan Ridge and Xianren Ridge. After hearing the news, the "division" prepared to organize a second battle. Director Li ordered me to rush to the vicinity of the Changhe River to further investigate the situation. In order to accomplish this task well, I sent a letter to Comrade Peng Youde, the leader of the "Beijing Resistance" Brigade, before I set out, asking him to come and cooperate. When I arrived, he was there before me. That night we studied together and made the layout. At this time, information came from Changhe: The first division of the temporary division has entered the area of Qinglongtai and Yujiatai, and it is still advancing one after another. After another while, Bajiachong also came with information: the first division of the first division has entered the area of Bajiachong and Tongjiachong, and it is still advancing one after another. As soon as the information of the two was compared, the temporary first division made a comeback and counterattacked me to rush home, and the situation was already clear. So, I quickly wrote the information and sent scouts to report to the "division front" (Xiaohuanling). And sent scouts to report to Tianmen Pass and rush home.
Three. Ten. Nine and forty-four two outposts. Subsequently, in a flash, the first division was grabbing grain, killing pigs, and looking for a guide; All of a sudden, Bajia Chong, the temporary first division was grabbing grain, killing pigs, and looking for guides. Whenever there was a slight change in the situation, I promptly dispatched scouts to report to the "front of the division." The attackers who came to attack us this time were three regiments of the 1st Provisional Division, one regiment on the Bajiachong side, and two regiments on the Changhe side, and the division headquarters also came with them. At dawn, the scouts I had sent to the "front of the division" returned, brought back a letter from Director Su, ordered me to return to Xiangjiachong immediately, and ordered me to rush to Xiangjiaji before 10 o'clock to meet with Brigadier Zhou Zhijian. When I arrived at Xiangjiaji on time and met Brigade Commander Zhou Zhijian, the 1st Provisional Division had already started at Tianmen Pass and Lumuling as before. The difference is that this time, our army does not need to cover the transfer of party and government organs, schools, and hospitals in our border areas, and second, it does not need to cover the masses to clear the wilderness and run against them, because the masses have already gained experience. So the 37th and 44th Regiments retreated in great stride on the hills on the left and right flanks. On the first day, it was withdrawn to the first line of Dahuanling and Wanjialing, and on the second day, it was withdrawn to the first line of Bazimen and Sankouyan. In the afternoon of that day, a regiment of the division occupied a high mountain on the line from Niupisi to Xie Jiajia and confronted our 44th Regiment and made contact. From then on, the Kuomintang army occupied the big and small Huanling Mountains and rushed to the front line, and the main force of our army moved like a swift wind. After the transfer of the main force, Commander Zheng remained in Jingbei, and Li Lintian, secretary of the Jingshan County Party Committee, Huang Dinglu, county magistrate, Wang Zunyi, commander, and other comrades came to report to Commander Zheng. Commander Zheng also gave instructions on the situation and tasks in northern Beijing in the future after the withdrawal of the main force. Soon Commander Zheng also returned to the headquarters of the Second Army Division in Zhaojiapeng. At this time, it was about the beginning of November. From the fall of Wuhan in late October 1938 and the relocation of our Central Hubei Special Committee and the "Response" Headquarters to Xiangjiachong, Daxiaohuanling, and Bazimen, to the end of October 1942, the division's front-line headquarters, Luxi Anti-Recalcitrant Headquarters, the 13th Brigade, and the 15th Brigade withdrew from Xiangjiachong, Daxiaohuanling, and Bazimen, for four whole years. In the past four years, this place has long been the focus of contention between Japan, stubbornness, and me. In particular, the two sides have repeatedly engaged in tug-of-war, and the party, government, and army in our border areas have survived, developed, and strengthened in this narrow valley. On the one hand, our party and our army have correctly implemented the party's principles and policies and made full use of the contradictions between Japan, the puppet, and the stubborn. On the other hand, they have closely relied on the masses, and the masses have been in the same boat with our party and our army through thick and thin, and have worked together to survive the most arduous and difficult years of the whole four years. There are still many revolutionary masses and comrades in this area who died in the flames of revolutionary war. These comrades will always be remembered by us.
