In 1940, the Japanese army was looking for supplies for the Eighth Route Army in Panjiayu, fellow: I am the Eighth Route Army, who dares to come?
I am the Eighth Route Army, I think which of you dares to come? Got a gun awesome? Try Grandpa's shovel!
One day in 1940, in Panjiayu, Hebei Province's eastern Hebei region, a farmer in his forties was standing in a depression in Shandong, brandishing a heavy shovel and shouting loudly outside the cave. Outside the cave, there were dozens of Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers. When the Japanese saw the peasants' posture, they didn't seem to dare to rush in, so they pulled a puppet soldier over and asked him to go in and explore the way. But as soon as the puppet army poked in, he let out a loud "oops", and his head was shot out of blood by a shovel.
The peasant brandished his shovel and looked behind him. He understands that it may be difficult for him to survive today. However, even if he fought hard, he had to protect the cave behind him and prevent the enemy from succeeding. So, who is this farmer? What's in the cave? What will be the end of him?
Let's first get to know the place of Panjiayu.
Panjiayu, located in the eastern Hebei region, is now under the jurisdiction of Fengrun County, Hebei Province. After the signing of the Tanggu Agreement in 1933, the area became the so-called "demilitarized zone", that is, a Japanese colony that was not explicitly recognized. After the start of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese instigated traitors Yin Rugeng, Lei Hengcheng and others to establish the so-called "Eastern Hebei Democracy" to rule the 22 counties here.
During this period, Panjiayu and nearby villages were exploited by pseudo-**, and the people's lives were extremely difficult. However, in November 1937, the head of the Eighth Route Army opened up the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the flames of revolution soon burned all over the eastern Hebei region, and the suffering of Panjiayu was alleviated to a certain extent.
The people have a scale in their hearts, and they support whoever can bring them happiness. Soon, the people of eastern Hebei organized themselves and joined the Eighth Route Army. In that scene, it was really a busy scene of men going to the front line and women doing logistics in the back. For a time, the army expanded to more than 200,000 people. As a larger village, Panjiayu also had more than 30 people participating in the Eighth Route Army.
However, in July 1938, when the troops of the Eastern Hebei Military Region launched a riot, they were hit hard and were forced to swallow the biggest defeat in the War of Resistance. However, the leaders of the troops learned from their pains, began to sum up their experiences and lessons, and actively carried out mass work. Soon, a number of anti-Japanese base areas with the mountainous area of eastern Hebei as the core were established.
The people of Panjiayu are simple and brave, and they wholeheartedly support the Eighth Route Army. They not only took out their own food and clothing to solve the problem of food and clothing for the Eighth Route Army, but also often used canned food boxes and other materials to fill gunpowder to make homemade grenades to support the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Occasionally, the village uncles would take shotguns and harass the enemy, following the example of the Eighth Route Army. With their performance, they won the trust of the Eighth Route Army. Later, the printing house and small arsenal of the Eighth Route Army were set up in Panjiayu. When the soldiers rest and stay, they also like to go here. This village has become one of the central areas of the Anti-Japanese War in eastern Hebei.
In 1940, as the frontal battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a phase of stalemate, the Japanese army began to turn the signs of attack to its own occupied areas. Not only did they transfer more than 100,000 Japanese troops back, but they also spread blockhouses and barbed wire in North China in a vain attempt to trap the Eighth Route Army with the so-called "cage policy." And those arrogant and domineering Japanese puppet armies attacked from all sides and carried out regular sweeps of the surrounding countryside.
And Pan Jiayu, because of his core position, has received "key care" from the enemy. According to statistics, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, the devils once carried out 138 sweeps here, robbed a large number of supplies, and burned down many houses. However, the anti-Japanese atmosphere in Panjiayu has never weakened.
At the end of 1940, a Japanese officer surnamed Jiro Sasaki was preparing to carry out a "punitive" sweep of Panjiayu. In order to find out what was going on in the village in advance, they sent a smaller team to conduct a tentative sweep of the place. Due to the existence of the "Belt and Road Party", the Japanese army approached Panjiayu unconsciously.
The Japanese army has received information that many materials and documents of the Eighth Route Army are hidden in Panjiayu. In order to snatch these things, their attacks came very suddenly. They stopped very close to the village, then summoned their planes, combined with mortars, to bombard the village indiscriminately. The artillery fire was so fierce that it could cover the entire village. Many Chinese people, because they had no time to retreat, lost their lives in the enemy's bombardment.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army rushed into Panjiayu and began a carpet search. But at this time, they realized that the results of the battle did not seem to be as big as they imagined. Most of the houses are empty. It turned out that the Eighth Route Army had also made preparations in advance to concentrate and hide a large number of materials. Most of the people in the village were also moved into the mountains. The villagers who were attacked by the Japanese army were either those who stayed behind, or some people who were lucky and did not retreat in time. In short, the Japanese army did not achieve its goal.
The Japanese army failed to make a plan, and soon resorted to a second move. They gathered the surviving villagers and forced them to ask them where the Eighth Route Army was hiding its supplies. Several villagers said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: ".Don't say I don't know, even if I do, I can't tell you! The Japanese were so angry that they brutally killed them.
At this time, a villager named Pan Guolin suddenly stood up and said: ".I know I know, I'll take you, you don't kill anymore. When the villagers saw it, they cursed him for being a soft-boned and traitor. But Pan Guolin didn't care about this, he stood up and was about to leave. The Japanese soldiers quickly stopped him, found a hemp rope, roughly tied him, and then pushed him to lead the way.
Of course, Pan Guolin didn't really want to lead the way for the Japanese, he wanted to find an opportunity to jump off the cliff, and when he jumped, he pulled one or two Japanese devils to pad his back. However, it is not easy. After going up the mountain, Pan Guolin jumped off the cliff when he found an opportunity, wanting to die with the Japanese behind him. But who knew that this Japanese man was extremely angry and actually pulled him. Pan Guolin's plan did not succeed, but he was beaten.
As soon as he saw this situation, Pan Guolin thought of another way: find a random cave to enter, take the devils in a circle, and find a chance to get out. So, he shouted "don't dare next time", regained the trust of the enemy, and continued to take them around the mountains.
As I walked, a large hole appeared in front of me. Pan Guolin knew at a glance that the cave in it must be not small, and it should be able to free himself from the siege. So, he said to the Japanese: ".This hole is where the Eighth Route Army stores supplies, and if there are still Eighth Routes inside, you can let me in first. The Japanese thought about it for a while and agreed. So, the soldier who was dragging him changed to a longer rope and put Pan Guolin into the cave.
Out of the enemy's sight, Pan Guolin immediately looked for it in the cave, wanting to see if there was a sharp stone that could break the rope. But it didn't matter, he saw boxes of stored supplies. It turned out that he really ran into the warehouse of the Eighth Route Army by mistake, how can this be good?
At this time, the devils outside couldn't wait to ask about the situation in the cave, Pan Guolin crossed his heart, saw a sickle and a shovel on the ground, so he cut the rope with a sickle, and then picked up the shovel and guarded the zigzag hole. The two Japanese wanted to go into the cave to check, but they were photographed out by Pan Guolin with two shovels.
Pan Guolin knew that he was afraid that he would be more auspicious today, so he shouted in the cave: ".Little devil, I'm the Eighth Route Army, I think which of you dares to come? Got a gun awesome? Try Grandpa's shovel! That's where this article began.
The Japanese army sent several people one after another, but all of them were blocked by Pan Guolin relying on the favorable terrain. The Japanese army was angry, so they decided not to send people in, but directly threw grenades and poison gas bombs, trying to blow up and smoke Pan Guolin. However, Pan Guolin was like a nail, sticking there and never flinching half a step. It wasn't until a few minutes later that he was gassed to death. However, the Japanese could not get in because of the gas bombs, so they retreated before dark. Pan Guolin was alone, guarding the supplies of the Eighth Route Army, and his bravery touched the world.
After this incident, the disaster in Panjiayu is not over. On January 25, 1941, the commander of the Japanese army, Jiro Sasaki, first asked the traitors to send false information that the Japanese army was transferred elsewhere, and then took advantage of the Spring Festival to raid Panjiayu. Pan Jiayu's father was completely unprepared, and as a result, he was all blocked in the village. The Japanese army carried out a brutal ** on the villagers, and 1,230 of the more than 1,700 villagers in Panjiayu were killed. Pan Jiayu ** is another bloody case committed by the Japanese army against the Chinese people.
However, this incident further aroused the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people of eastern Hebei. The surviving young villagers of Panjiayu collectively joined the Eighth Route Army. With themselves as the core, they formed the "Panjiayu Revenge Regiment" and made frequent sorties to interfere with the enemy's military operations. They have been waiting for an opportunity to kill Jiro Sasaki.
In July 1941, Zeng Kelin, the commander of the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, received news that Jiro Sasaki would lead more than 100 devils and more than 200 puppet troops to pass through Qian'an County. He immediately informed the revenge group and set up an ambush in the area of the Gan River trough. In this battle, the Eighth Route Army fought very beautifully, annihilating all the Japanese soldiers, breaking up the puppet army, and winning a big victory. And the executioner, Jiro Sasaki, also became the ghost of the revenge group. The souls of more than 1,000 villagers who died in Panjiayu were finally comforted.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army made a lot of **, and Panjiayu** was just one of them. However, the enemy's ** will only make our military and civilians more united to fight against these inhuman invaders. In that era, the Chinese people who lost their lives in order to save the country and survive deserve our highest respect.
