The enemy workers went to run errands, and on the way back, they met a puppet soldier, who actually recognized the wrong person, took the other party as his comrade, and told his true identity.
By the time he realized he had recognized the wrong person, it was too late. However, with his wit and bravery, he eventually turned the corner.
How did this enemy worker do it?
In the spring of 1943, the Anti-Japanese War entered the later stage, and although the Japanese army was still crazy, it had already shown a decline.
Against this background, the Eighth Route Army decided to send a military engineering team to the Yundong area to strengthen the struggle behind enemy lines.
The enemy engineering section, which was originally fighting in Encheng Town, Pingyuan County, was responsible for assisting the military engineering team in its work.
On this day, Xu Yingjie, the head of the enemy's engineering section, was in a meeting, and the sentry brought in a person.
The person who came didn't say anything, and handed a letter of introduction to Xu Yingjie.
The letter reads: In order to strengthen the work of enemy workers in the area and cooperate with the activities of the armed engineering team, Zhang Hanjie of the enemy engineering section of the sub-district is specially sent to work in your office.
Xu Yingjie's eyes widened in surprise when he saw it.
Zhang Hanjie, a native of Dezhou, Shandong, was born in 1922 in Zhangzhuang Village, Wucheng County.
He was born in a scholarly family and attended a high school in the provincial capital.
Zhang Hanjie is educated, looks like an iron tower, has a good martial arts, and has a very straight temper.
He joined the Eighth Route Army in March 1938 and made many achievements.
But some people say that he has a "bad attitude towards the masses", but in fact, he has wronged him, Zhang Hanjie is just not used to whispering.
For Zhang Hanjie's arrival, why was Section Chief Xu Yingjie surprised?
Because Zhang Hanjie is a well-known figure, he is a combat hero awarded by the military region.
Zhang Hanjie has completed the tasks assigned by his superiors many times, and personally went to the enemy's stronghold to get rid of the traitor captain.
He also single-handedly went to enemy-occupied territory and blew up an enemy arsenal.
How could such a reconnaissance hero, who terrified the enemy, not surprise Section Chief Xu when he deigned to come to the county enemy engineering department?
He couldn't understand why his superiors sent this "great god" to his small temple.
Not long ago, one of Zhang Hanjie's comrades-in-arms was killed after being captured by the enemy during the battle.
The Japanese army was very cruel and cut off the soldier's head and hung it at the head of the city for public display.
After hearing the news, Zhang Hanjie was furious, and without the consent of the leader, he came to the enemy stronghold late one night, killed two Japanese soldiers, and killed a puppet soldier.
Unfortunately, this puppet soldier is an informant of our army.
To know, developmentAn informantYesHow notYesEasy,MoreoverThisFirst nameThe informant has done it for meArmy secretsworkedYear.
After the superiors learned about his disciplinary violationsTake it seriously"Down" him.
Speaking of which, it is necessary to introduce the enemy engineering department.
Due to the fact that the organizational structure of each military region is not exactly the same, the methods of operation of the enemy's engineering section are also different, and even the names are different.
The enemy engineering department of Encheng is known to the outside world as the "Communication Section of the 19th Regiment" or "Liaison Section".
This 19th regiment, that is, the 19th regiment of the Southern Hebei Military Region, the regiment commander Huang Guangxia and the political commissar Zhou Fatian).
In addition, the enemy's engineering section implements a single-line leadership, and it is not a group that comes out at once, and there is generally no horizontal relationship between the members, just like the underground organization.
However, there is a difference between the two.
Underground organizations are characterized by being secretly hidden, not operating openly, and usually not performing hoeing missions.
The enemy engineering department often deals with the enemy, and is completely different from other underground personnel in terms of dress, which is very "down-to-earth".
They often wore top hats, sunglasses, robes and riding coats, and rode bicycles around the city.
They tend to behave insolently and speak in a fluent manner.
The objects of their contact are mainly the puppet army and other traitors in the stronghold.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to build a relationship with them as bandits and gangsters, and "worship the boss", regardless of each other.
Their task is not only to hoe traitors, but also to divide and disintegrate and win over the enemy, and extract information from the mouths of traitors.
On the afternoon of December 12, 1943, the cold wind was howling and the sky was freezing.
Because it is already the farming season, everyone is hiding at home to roast the fire, and there are few pedestrians on the road.
However, Zhang Hanjie of the enemy engineering department of the Eighth Route Army rode a bicycle on the road against the whirring cold wind.
He did not go on a mission, but to a puppet soldier and get his own pistol.
The pistol used by Zhang Hanjie was a southern 14 pistol (i.e., the "Wang Ba Box") captured from the Japanese army.
This pistol is powerful and pointed, but it has a flaw.
That is, the firing pin is not tough enough, the strength is also poor, and it is easy to have the problem of weak firing pin or broken firing pin in actual combat.
This situation is often most likely to occur when the temperature is low on cold days.
Zhang Hanjie's pistol is a malfunction of the firing pin.
Why go to the puppet army to get it?
First, the enemy engineering department is more familiar with the puppet army; Second, there is a capable person in the puppet army, who is very good at repairing guns.
Zhang Hanjie entrusted the puppet army to repair the guns through Cao Zhenming, an insider of our army who served as a staff officer in the puppet No. 9 squadron.
Cao Zhenming's family lives in Mayanzhuang, Wucheng Township, and Zhang Hanjie rode his bicycle to his house to get a gun.
Because there was something else on the way, after arriving at Cao's house, it was already sunset, and Cao Zhenming's family was very enthusiastic and left him for dinner.
Because of the cold, Cao Zhenming's father also took out a jar of soju for Zhang Hanjie to drink, saying that he would warm up his body.
Zhang Hanjie excused himself and said: "Uncle, the Eighth Route Army has discipline and can't drink, for fear of drinking and making mistakes." ”
Cao's father was angry: "It's getting dark, what are you afraid of?" If you don't drink it, you look down on your uncle. ”
Cao Zhenming also persuaded on the side: "Then let's take two sips." ”
Zhang Hanjie couldn't refuse, so he picked up the bowl and drank two sips.
After drinking and eating, Zhang Hanjie didn't dare to stay for a long time and rode back.
Zhang Hanjie is good at fighting, but the amount of wine is average, and the wine is an old wine, so he has a lot of stamina.
Riding a bicycle to catch the wind again, and after walking not far, Zhang Hanjie felt that his head was a little heavy and his eyes were a little flowery.
When he walked near the enemy stronghold of Hou Wangzhuang, two plainclothes officers came up to him.
They are Wang Zhanxiang, the leader of the puppet sixth squadron of Hou Wangzhuang's stronghold, and Liu Erga, a puppet soldier.
What are they doing there at dusk?
Because the puppet county magistrate of Wucheng County had to pass through here when he returned from a meeting in Jinan, the puppet soldiers added sentry posts along the way to ensure their safety.
At that time, Wang Zhanxiang and the puppet soldier Liu Erga did not find Zhang Hanjie, but Zhang Hanjie took the initiative to greet the other party.
He regarded Wang Zhanxiang as an undercover agent of our army, because the two looked too similar.
Moreover, this person is also in this stronghold, and he also made an appointment to send information to Zhang Hanjie at this time.
He took the initiative to shout, Wang Zhanxiang stopped, looked at Zhang Hanjie, and was a little confused: "This brother, who are you?" ”
"You, you don't even recognize me? I'm Zhang Hanjie from the Communication Section of the Canal Brigade, didn't I make an appointment to give me information? ”
This is a bad thing, Wang Zhanxiang took out a pistol from his waist, pointed the muzzle of the black hole at him, and said: "Don't move, if you move, I will kill you!" ”
The puppet soldier next to him also pulled the bolt of the gun in an uproar, aimed the muzzle of the gun at Zhang Hanjie, and said, "Be honest, follow us to the stronghold!" ”
If in normal times, Zhang Hanjie would not have a problem dealing with the two.
But at this time, the strength of the wine came up, and the head was a little cloudy, and the reaction was a little slower.
He was still holding the bicycle in his hand, a little passive, and the pistol had just been repaired and had not yet been loaded.
As the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts.
Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Hanjie woke up in fright.
But after all, he had been through the storm and quickly calmed down.
He held the bicycle and said with a smile: "Brother, my name is Zhang Hanjie, and I am a brother with your captain Gao (in fact, no), not long ago, my son married his daughter-in-law, and I went there, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come here." ”
Wang Zhanxiang listened and hesitated.
If you kill me or send me to the stronghold, then the beam will be settled, and even if he doesn't clean you up, he will shoot you with a black gun. It's all for the sake of the family, so why bother? ”
I'm going to let you go, what's the benefit? Wang Zhanxiang was moved.
If I let me go, I promise to let Commander Song put you and this brother on the white list, and promise not to move your family. ”
Wang Zhanxiang hadn't spoken yet, and the puppet army beside him whispered: "Big brother, do you want to think about what this Balu said?" ”
I think you're also a bold person, so make a friend. Wang Zhanxiang was moved, he put down his gun and said, "You can go!" Remember, my name is Wang Zhanxiang, I am the squadron leader of the stronghold, and my brother's name is Liu Erga, I believe that your Eighth Route Army will not break its promise and keep its promises. ”
The Eighth Route Army is true to its word. Zhang Hanjie secretly rejoiced, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, we will have a date later." ”
After going back, Zhang Hanjie did not dare to hide it, and reported the situation to Xu Yingzhuo, the chief of the enemy's engineering section.
Xu Yingjie didn't criticize him, and said happily: "No matter what you say, it's good to come back." ”
After a pause, he said: "Hou Wangzhuang stronghold is the only way to Wucheng in Enxian County, there are two puppet army squadrons stationed here, we fight for Wang Zhanxiang, it is very beneficial to solve the Houwangzhuang stronghold, this is not a bad thing." ”
Xu Yingjie immediately decided to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Wang Zhanxiang.
Zhang Hanjie and Xu Yingjie first came to Wang Zhanxiang's iron buddy Wang Chuanfu's house, this person has been won by our side, after hearing about the intention, Wang Chuanfu didn't say a word, rode a donkey and Zhang Xu went straight to the Houwangzhuang stronghold.
Xu Yingjie said straight to the point: "You saved our comrade, I came today to thank you." ”
Wang Zhanxiang said: "The Eighth Route Army is enough friends, and I, Wang, am also a bold person and know what to do in the future." ”
Xu Yingjie clapped his hands and said: "This brother, you are doing the right thing, the Japanese can't last long, it is necessary for you to leave yourself a way back." ”
As he spoke, Xu Yingjie took out a card from his pocket and handed it over: "This is the 'Anti-Japanese Sympathy Certificate' issued by our Southern Hebei Military Region, and with it, we have a gold medal for avoiding death." ”
Wang Zhanxiang happily took it and thanked him repeatedly.
Immediately, he said to Zhang Yingjie: "I still have a few."PleaseSeeking: One is not to destroy the ** line; Second, we should not be hindered when we go to the village to collect grain; Thirdly, the person who captured me must be released. ”
Xu Yingjie listened to it and said with a smile: "We can promise the first one, but we can't guarantee the ** line of other defense areas; For the matter of levying grain, we allow a small amount of levy, but we can't send it to the devil; As long as you don't attack the Eighth Route Army and don't harass the masses, we promise not to kill those who catch you. What do you think? ”
Wang Zhanxiang listened to it and thought that the other party was reasonable, so he agreed.
In this way, a bad thing turned into a good thing, and the Eighth Route Army established a relationship with Wang Zhanxiang.
A few months later, our army attacked the enemy stronghold of Hou Wangzhuang, and Wang Zhanxiang took the initiative to respond and led his troops to surrender.
