Eighth Route ArmyYu entered the enemy's den, and Li Yunchang set up an ambush to attackJapanese Army
In August 1943, Qi Xieyuan, commander-in-chief of the North China Public Security Army (puppet army), suddenly became superstitious after repeated defeats in the battle against the Eighth Route Army. He believes that without a decent grandfather, his failure is taken for granted.
So, he enshrined Guan Yunchang, who was loyal and righteous, as his ancestor, hoping to be blessed. Although this is only his superstitious behavior, it reflects his fear of failure and sense of powerlessness.
On the day of the inauguration of the ancestral temple, Qi Xieyuan took two Japanese middle-aged people to worship the ancestral master. However, the Japanese scolded him, saying that they were all defeated by a man named Yun Chang, and Qi Xieyuan actually invited him into the temple to scare them.
If it weren't for Qi Xieyuan's qualifications being old enough, they would have killed him long ago. Qi Xieyuan suddenly realized, hurriedly invited Yun Chang out of the temple, and found Jiang Ziya and made him their ancestor.
This Yun Chang is not Bi Yun Chang, he is a Yun Chang who terrified the Japanese army, surnamed Li, named Li Yunchang. Li Yunchang, formerly known as Li Fangqi, studied in the fourth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy.
In July 1939, he served as the commander of the 13th Detachment of the Eighth Route Army's Jirecha Advance Army. Soon after taking office, he did something that shocked the Japanese army. He had an anti-Japanese hero named Jie Zhenguo under him, he was proficient in martial arts, and once made a big fuss about the Japanese military police, hacked to death 6 heavily armed Japanese military police with a kitchen knife, and then escaped safely.
After Jie Zhenguo joined the Eighth Route Army, he played guerrilla tactics to perfection. One day, Jie Zhenguo heard that Li Yunchang had become a commander, and as Li Yunchang's old subordinate, he decided to send a gift to congratulate him.
But he didn't know what to send. However, this conundrum did not stump Jie Zhenguo. He took his fighters into an ambush and captured 13 Japanese prisoners alive.
Then he took the captives and ran more than 100 miles to meet Li Yunchang. Seeing the gift sent by Jie Zhenguo, Li Yunchang was very happy, and he asked Jie Zhenguo: "Have these people been interrogated?"
Don't make the mistake of catching a good guy. Jie Zhenguo replied: "After the interrogation, they all deserve it, and the people of Erdao Street in Zunhua Ping'an City were killed by them." ”
Li Yunchang carefully read the interrogation report, and then he waved his hand and said: "If it is true, we will avenge the dead villagers and pull them all out and cut them down." ”
Jie Zhenguo was very surprised when he heard this, and he asked Li Yunchang: "Shouldn't they be shot to be more humane?" Li Yunchang said kindly to Jie Zhenguo: "I hope that my soldiers will be like you, killing people without blinking."
And our Eighth Route Army lacks bullets, so we should use them sparingly as much as possible. Li Yunchang cut off the devil's head, and also made the Japanese army remember the name Li Yunchang.
Li Yunchang led his troops to launch a battle of revenge for Panjiayu in Hazelnut Town, vowing to avenge his dead relatives. On August 16, 1943, Jiro Sasaki, who made Panjiayu**, led more than 200 Japanese troops to rush food from Shaheyi, and the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to destroy the enemy.
The enemy was outnumbered, Li Yunchang ordered tactics to be adopted, and the enemy was successfully divided, and the strength of one battalion surrounded and annihilated more than 200 Japanese troops. During the battle, the people of nearby villages rushed to the front line in the rain of bullets and bullets, bringing mung bean soup to the soldiers to relieve the heat and rescue their injured or heatstroke comrades.
On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, the Eighth Route Army in the eastern Hebei base area led by Li Yunchang successfully broke through the Japanese defense line with the tactics of wisdom and courage and launched a fierce white-knives battle.
With the assistance of the soldiers of the "Panjiayu Revenge Regiment" and the reconnaissance company, Li Yunchang won more with less and smashed the 25th Division, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army. In this battle, the Japanese 1st Machine Gun Squadron was completely annihilated, and the commander Jiro Sasaki was killed on the spot.
Not only that, Li Yunchang also successfully blocked the convoy of the Japanese army transporting supplies, which made the Japanese army feel deeply difficult. Li Yunchang's wisdom and courage made Matsuura Seiyuki, a famous general of the Japanese Kwantung Army, also forced to return to China and transfer to the reserves, which can be said to be an earth-shattering victory.
Li Yunchang knew very well that in order to solve the supply problem in eastern Hebei, it was necessary to knock out the supply convoy of the Japanese army, otherwise, the Japanese troops stationed in eastern Hebei would not be able to withdraw, and the supply of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei would also be reduced.
Although the Japanese army was unwilling to face the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei had already terrified the Japanese army, and only those Japanese Kwantung Army, who had not experienced the hardships of the Eighth Route Army, would regard the Eighth Route Army as the "Eighth Route Army".
When fighting against the Kuomintang army, the Kwantung Army once defeated a division of the Kuomintang army with a Japanese squad. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was stronger than that of the Kuomintang Army, the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei only had five regiments that were not well equipped, and the Kwantung Army dispatched one squadron, which was enough to pose a threat to the Eighth Route Army.
In May 1943, the squadron of the Kwantung Army began to "sweep" the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei. Li Yunchang was very interested in this, and he decided to use two battalions of the 13th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to set up an ambush in Kuanchengzi.
There was no suspense in the battle, the Kwantung Army first stepped on the mines, and when they cautiously passed through the minefield, less than 30 meters away from the position of the Eighth Route Army, suddenly there was a crackling gunshot, and then there were overwhelming grenades.
The Kwantung Army, which was suddenly attacked, all lay on the ground, but before they could stand up, the Eighth Route Army had already rushed to the front with bayonets. From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it took less than half an hour, and a squadron of the Kwantung Army was completely annihilated.
Looking at those *** Kwantung Army, Li Yunchang couldn't help but get excited, because these guys were so well equipped: light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers, and the firepower of this equipment was stronger than that of a main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
However, he also understands that if the Kwantung Army is allowed to react and the two sides are in a stalemate on the battlefield, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose at that time. In order to prevent this from happening, Li Yunchang decided that as long as there was an opportunity, he must fight the Kwantung Army.
Although the Kwantung Army is not the son of the Eighth Route Army, as long as the goal is clear, there are always more ways than difficulties. More than two months later, Li Yunchang used the equipment captured in the Kuanchengzi ambush to eliminate a Japanese squadron in Ganhecao Village, avenging the people killed in Panjiayu**.
Although it was also a Japanese squadron, the ** captured by the Eighth Route Army was very different. This made Li Yunchang feel very dissatisfied, and he decided that from now on, as long as there was an opportunity, he would go all out to attack the Kwantung Army.
In mid-April 1944, the Eighth Route Army carefully planned and successfully raided the small military station of the Rehe Kwantung Army, and although only 17 Japanese soldiers died, this action was a huge blow to the Kwantung Army, and they felt insulted.
The Kwantung Army mobilized a wing of troops to pursue it, but the Eighth Route Army managed to escape with only more than 300 men. The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the negligence of the Kwantung Army in its operations, such as climbing mountains in leather boots to ask for hardships to create opportunities.
In this operation, the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the terrain and ambushed around the camp of the Kwantung Army, waiting for the best time to attack. Although the enemy was outnumbered in this operation, the Eighth Route Army successfully defeated the Japanese army with careful planning and excellent tactical execution, demonstrating their outstanding military talent.
After careful consideration, Li Yunchang was unable to make a decision. However, those ** placed on the side of the road are too tempting. In the end, he chose to take a risk. He gathered all the machine guns together and gathered more than 200 fighters with skilled shooting skills, each equipped with 150 rounds of ammunition, which was all the resources that Li Yunchang could provide.
The order he gave to these soldiers was that there was an open space between the Japanese troops camping and their gun positions, and after the guns rang out, all the firepower was concentrated on this open area and fiercely attacked, resolutely not allowing the enemy to obtain any **.
The rest of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army marched lightly, as close as possible to the place where the ** was stored. In addition, Li Yunchang also specially arranged for a regimental reconnaissance platoon to be responsible for seizing the military flag of the 40th Tottori Wing of the Japanese Army.
The military flag of the 40th Tottori Wing is not a traditional plaster flag, but was awarded by the Emperor himself, and is collectively referred to as the Wing Flag. Wing flags are awarded only to infantry and cavalry wings with an establishment.
Since January 23, 1894, Emperor Meiji of Japan has been on the Guards Infantry.
1. Since the Second Wing personally awarded the Wing Flag, a total of 444 Wing Wings have owned the Wing Flag.
The Japanese Army stipulates that if the wing flag is there, the establishment will be there, and if the wing flag is lost, the wing establishment will also be abolished. Therefore, the wing flag was very important to the Japanese army. Usually the Japanese army will select one of the best second lieutenants to serve as the standard-bearer, along with more than 20 alternate standard-bearers.
In addition, the Japanese army's battle regulations also stipulated that if it was judged that the battle situation was in danger of total annihilation, the wing flag should be destroyed. Therefore, the Japanese army and the puppet army in eastern Hebei were very jealous of Li Yunchang, in addition to his resourcefulness, bravery and good fighting, he was also a flag capture maniac.
On January 3, 1942, the 10th Regiment of the puppet army suffered a devastating blow from the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei in Liu Beizhai, Zunhua County, and more than 20 Japanese instructors were also in the battle
The head of the puppet army Cui tried his best and fled back to his lair with more than 100 of his subordinates. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Qi Xieyuan did not blame Commander Cui, but sent a telegram to encourage him to lie down and try his courage.
The Japanese did not say anything about this. But a few days later, Li Yunchang displayed the regimental flag of the captured 10th Regiment of the puppet army, and the Japanese were angry about it. They believe that the regimental flag is the soul of a regiment, and it is a matter of matter if the soul is lost.
So the hapless head Cui was tried by military court and executed according to the responsibility for the loss of the military flag. Only 10 days later, in the battle of Yanshankou in Yutian County, Li Yunchang's right-hand man and deputy commander of the Eastern Hebei Military Region Bao Sen beat the 4th Regiment of the puppet army to a bruised nose and swollen face, and at the same time took away the regimental flag of the 4th regiment of the puppet army.
The commander of the 4th Regiment of the puppet army, surnamed Wang, was also executed by the Japanese for the crime of losing the military flag. Because of the loss of the military flag, the two puppet army commanders were executed, and the other puppet troops, including the Japanese army in eastern Hebei, learned to leave the wing flag in their old nest when carrying out combat missions.
The following is a description of the combat experience of the 40th Tottori Wing of the Japanese Kwantung Army. In this battle, Li Yunchang led the Eighth Route Army to be haunted and occupy a favorable location, but the Japanese Kwantung Army was unfamiliar with the local environment, and even under the attack of the Eighth Route Army, there was no ** in his hands, so he could only watch the precious ** being taken away.
Although the well-trained Kwantung Army quickly organized a counterattack, due to too few troops, unfamiliar terrain, and the approach of enemy reinforcements, they were ultimately unable to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army, and even the Eighth Route Army, which had the advantage in this battle, chose to retreat.
More than 1,000 Japanese Kwantung Army successfully broke through the encirclement with the support of 24 soldiers of the 8th Brigade of the Japanese Army. These 24 Japanese soldiers completed this seemingly impossible mission without any fighting.
There may have been some undisclosed tacit understanding between them and Li Yunchang, so that this Japanese stronghold was not abandoned. If Li Yunchang had eliminated these 24 Japanese soldiers at that time, he would have lost an important supply depot.
The 40th Tottori Wing of the Kwantung Army was extremely heavy in this battle, and it was too late to dispose of the corpses everywhere, so it just cut off the little fingers of each corpse and took it away. The 24 rescued Japanese soldiers had no interest or ability to dispose of the corpses and discarded supplies of the Kwantung Army, and returned to their strongholds triumphantly.
This feat made the 24 Japanese soldiers famous.
A few days later, the 24 Japanese soldiers received orders to return to Majiayu to confirm the exact number of Kwantung Army soldiers killed and to find out whether the wing flag had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The 24 Japanese soldiers returned to their old places and felt as if they had entered another world.
The battlefield that had been deafening a few days ago was now silent, leaving no trace. However, even if they lent these Japanese soldiers a guts, they did not dare to go to Li Yunchang and ask who cleaned the battlefield and the whereabouts of the wing flag.
