The Eighth Route Army was both wise and brave and defeated the Japanese army
Luo Yuan: Wisdom and bravery, the Eighth Route Army won with a 6:1 record - interpreting the spiritual characteristics of the "Huangya Cave Defense Hero Regiment" of "Hundred Battle Flags Red" The defense of Huangya Cave is a defensive operation independently completed by the special service group of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters under the careful organization and command of the head of the headquarters.
They resisted the crazy attack of the main force of the Japanese army, which was 6 times their size, for 8 days and nights, and finally achieved the result of destroying more than 1,000 enemies (including 850 killed enemies), while our side only had 166 people.
With a record of 6:1, this battle broke the unprecedented record of the comparison between the enemy and the enemy in the Sino-Japanese war, and smashed the sinister conspiracy of the Japanese army to destroy the military industrial base of the Eighth Route Army.
In this battle, the two sides fought with wits and courage, and finally the Eighth Route Army won with a strategy of wisdom and bravery.
New copy: In the early winter of 1941, Okamura Ninji, commander of the Japanese North China Front, launched a "capture and surprise attack" sweep against the Taihang anti-Japanese base in a vain attempt to destroy the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the organs of the 129th Division, and plundered the Huangyadong Arsenal.
On October 30, more than 7,000 Japanese troops, under the cover of aircraft, marched aggressively into the depths of the base area. On the evening of November 3, more than 2,000 people of the vanguard arrived 30 miles from Xiannanhui Village, Liao County, and arrogantly declared: "The Imperial Army is steel, the Eighth Route Army is iron, and steel is harder than iron!" ”
Faced with this situation, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Zuo Quan, and the deputy chief of staff, directly commanded the anti-"sweeping" operation, and gave the special task of defending the Huangyadong Arsenal with the special task of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
They demanded that the special mission take advantage of the favorable terrain to resist the Japanese army, prevent it from rapidly advancing to the headquarters and arsenal, delay the enemy's movements, and create an opportunity for the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army to break through the enemy.
Before the war, Zuo Quan's deputy chief of staff ordered the special mission to "limit it to five days, and then deploy another one after five days." ”
In terms of the guiding ideology of the operation, Ou Zhifu, head of the special service regiment, proposed that it should be set up near Huangya Cave"The ghost gate is closed", taking advantage of the characteristics of the urn corridor that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has become a dead place for the Japanese attack.
The vanguard of the Japanese army attempted to sneak attack the urn corridor, but was forced to disperse after being attacked by our alert detachment. At dawn, the Japanese army launched a strong attack, and our side had already preset mines, and after the sheep hooked the mines, the Japanese army boldly followed up, but was beaten by our 100 rolling mines and machine gun fire.
In less than half an hour, more than 200 Japanese troops have been killed and wounded, but there is not a single ** on our side. At noon, the Japanese concentrated artillery fire to retaliate against our position, and our side successfully resisted the Japanese attack by virtue of accurate tactical prediction.
Ou Zhifu immediately asked Zuo Quan to use the only two guns to attack the enemy's mountain artillery positions and group targets. Zuo Quan readily approved his request and said that he would run out of shells.
The artillery platoon, having received the order, destroyed the Japanese mountain artillery positions with two shells, and then accurately blasted the remaining shells at the enemy's attacking forces. Despite the large number and heavy fire of the Japanese artillery, due to the heroic sacrifice of the commander Cui Zhenfang, our army was able to withstand the Japanese attack.
Although Wang Xingguo, the leader of the 1st squad, was seriously injured, he still shouted to boost morale. The Japanese army stopped advancing in front of the broken bridge of the "Hundred Ladder Stack", but due to the previous order, the suspension bridge had been pulled up, making the "Hundred Ladder Stack" become a natural danger of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open".
However, the Japanese did not give up, and they used the dead corpses to build a "corpse ladder" and tried to climb the cliff. However, the 12 soldiers led by Peng Zhihai, the deputy commander of the Eighth Company, used iron thunder and grenades to wipe out hundreds of enemies, destroyed the "corpse ladder", and eliminated the remaining "living mouth".
After losing their offensive capability, the Japanese released poison gas bombs, but the Eighth Route Army took anti-poison measures in time and, under the command of Zhong Yushan, successfully repelled the enemy's attack.
Although Ou Zhifu was in a coma due to poisoning, he finally woke up and said that he could continue to command. He reported on Zuo Quan's judgment about the possible choice of a new breakthrough route for the Japanese army, and received instructions from Zuo Quan.
At dawn on the 13th, the Japanese army concentrated its firepower to launch a fierce attack on the large cliff on the east side of Nankou, firing more than 300 shells, and most of the fortifications of the 4th Company were blown up. Subsequently, the enemy took advantage of the darkness to climb the big cliff and rushed to the forward position of the 4th Company.
Yang Xinghua, the commander of the 4th Company, immediately adjusted his defense, but still fell into passivity. The deputy company commander and several fighters were seriously wounded, and the 1 platoon commander died. Our army immediately organized a counterattack, and a confrontation between the enemy and us was formed.
Chen Qifu, the deputy platoon commander of the 1st platoon, was wounded in three places, the machine gunner Sun Liankui was crushed by the rubble, and only 7 people remained in the last two squads. At the critical moment, Chen Qifu endured the pain and led 7 people to avoid the Japanese artillery fire, throwing grenades and rolling mines under the cliff to prevent the enemy's follow-up impact.
Sun Liankui was awakened by the sound of gunfire, and before he had time to arch off the stones on his body, he pulled up his machine gun and fired fiercely at the enemy, instantly dumbing the enemy's mountain artillery and machine gun.
After a morning of fierce fighting, the Japanese only advanced more than 200 meters. While continuing to climb the cliff from the front, they attacked the ditch from the right side, trying to capture the mouth of the water kiln from the Marigold Ping and Sheephorn Cliff behind the urn corridor.
The 4th Company and the 8th Company were not afraid and cooperated tacitly. The 4th Company focused on the rear of the enemy on the unnamed high ground on the left, and the 8th Company focused on the enemy's head-on at the mountain pass on the right, making it difficult for the Japanese to take care of the head and tail.
Ou Zhifu braved the artillery fire to rush to the position of the 2nd Battalion and found that the Japanese army wanted to seize the deep ditch between the foot of the Happy Horse Station Mountain and the Taohua Village, and use this road to attack the mouth of the water kiln in our core position.
Immediately sent the 8th Company to cooperate with the 4th Company, and planted mines in the ditch all the way from Taohuazhai to the mouth of the water kiln. In the afternoon, more than 200 enemies rushed into the ditch, and were blown up by the newly planted mines at the bottom of the ditch.
From 8 o'clock in the morning of the 14th, the Japanese army launched another attack on the unnamed heights southwest of our Taohuazhai and threw incendiary bombs at the position of the 4th Company. Our 4th Company and 1st Platoon started a white-knuckle fight with the Japanese army, and finally because the enemy was outnumbered, ** more than half, Yang Xinghua, the commander of the 4th Company, urgently ordered the 1st Platoon to withdraw to the main position of the 4th Company on the 1568 Heights.
When Zuo Quan learned that the Japanese army had attacked the cliff, he immediately took measures according to the situation and ordered the special service group to leave only a small number of troops on the right side of the south entrance to garrison, and the rest of the people were concentrated for reserve.
He inquired about the situation of the troops, and when he heard Ou Zhifu's report, there were less than 200 people in total, and he said excitedly: "You have defeated an entire wing of the Japanese army, and if you bite the 'cow tendon' for two more days, the enemy will cramp and break bones." ”
At the same time, he told Ou Zhifu that the main force of the 129th Division, which had ordered the peripheral operations, to surround Licheng, and quickly moved closer to Huangyadong, waiting to destroy the enemy, and victory was in sight!
Early in the morning of the 15th, the Japanese army entered the final stage of madness, increasing its strength and firepower, and also using flamethrowers to storm our position, and the fiercest battle scene in four days appeared.
The Japanese troops divided into two routes, and attacked our 1568 heights four times in a row from the east and southeast sides, and the enemy attacked successfully at 9 o'clock in the morning. The Japanese army, which got carried away, then launched a three-way fierce attack on our Broken Bridge and Shuiyaokou positions with the tactics of separate attacks and combined attacks.
The soldiers of our army guarding the position of the broken bridge at the south entrance held on to the danger in the enemy's flanked attack, and repelled the enemy's repeated attacks in a row, so that the Japanese army never crossed the broken bridge, and effectively contained the enemy attacking the water kiln.
Our soldiers guarding the position at Shuiyaokou launched mine warfare and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy attacking from three sides, and repelled 11 enemy attacks that day. On the 16th, the Japanese used flamethrowers and incendiary bombs in our forward positions.
Suddenly, the entire position was on fire and smoke. Wang Zhenxi, the leader of the 8th squad of the 8th Company, led the soldiers of the whole squad to jump out of the fortifications, and fiercely shot and threw bombs at the enemy group with the flames all over his body, killing more than 70 enemies until he died heroically in hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the enemy who captured the 1568 heights also turned his head and pressed down to the south, forming a fourth attack on the water kiln. Every position was repeatedly contested, fighting hard, and the battle was getting white-hot.
Soon, he said to Guo Linxiang, the political commissar of the special service group: "The five-day deadline for you has passed, and the factory machinery has been safely transferred, so let the enemy climb in to 'pick up the rags'."
All at night. 
The secret service group held the Huangyadong factory area, and the Japanese attacked many times without success. The special forces engaged the enemy in a tug-of-war, leading them into a minefield and blowing up the enemy's corpses.
The commander of the 36th Japanese Division was frenzied and gave death orders to several major commanders that Huangya Cave must be captured within two days. On the 17th, the Japanese army divided its troops into two routes and launched an attack on the Huangyadong factory area through Shuiyaokou.
The special service regiment engaged in fierce battles with the enemy, and the company commander Lei Yisheng led the whole company to fight repeatedly with the enemy on the main peak, and repeatedly repelled the enemy's charges. At night, the 1st Battalion, 1st Company, and 3rd Company made concerted efforts to drive the enemy out of Shuiyao Mountain and Huangya Mountain.
The 7th and 8th companies also counterattacked in the night, rushed out of the mouth of the water kiln, and controlled the broken bridge. The 4th Company and 1st Platoon converged with the main force of the company at Taohuazhai, eliminated the remnants of the enemy in one fell swoop, and restored control of all the defense areas of Huangya Cave.
At dawn on the 19th, the 129th Division of our outer line formed a counter-encirclement of the Japanese army and launched a **. The special task force that held out in Huangya Cave for 7 days won the final victory.
In the battle to defend Huangya Cave, the brave soldiers of the special service group faced the Japanese invaders who far outnumbered their own, and with their flexible tactics and unyielding fighting spirit, they created a magnificent epic of winning more with less, and made an important contribution to the large-scale "sweep" of the Japanese army.
Their heroic deeds are deeply admired, and they were awarded the glorious title of "Huangya Cave Defense Hero Regiment" by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. As the poem says: "Riding a horse is a line of sky, and the moon is cold on the battlefield."
The sound of the Taihang iron drum was still shaking, and the blood of the long knife on his back was not dry. No matter how the Japanese invaders are, their "steel teeth" will not be able to gnaw the "iron fist" of the heroic Eighth Route Army.
In the battle of wits and courage against the Japanese invaders, the Eighth Route Army was always the victorious side, because their wisdom and courage were incomparable to those of the Japanese invaders.
