During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Special Service Company of the Eastern Hebei Military Division was famous for its bravery, good fighting and strict discipline, and was known as the "Four Tigers" heroes. This company has won the title of model combat company many times, and the local people call it the "Tiger Company" and praise it as the most domineering and bloody company of the Eighth Route Army.
Here are some of the real situations of their participation in the battle, although it is not as exciting as the drama on the Internet and TV, but it shows real battle scenes.
In October 1940, the sub-division headquarters of the Eastern Hebei Army led the third battalion of the 13th Regiment and a part of the team directly under the sub-division to Gaomatou, Yutian County, to attack the invading enemy. Led by Jia Zihua, commander of the spy company.
The second and third platoons were stationed in Gaomatou with the headquarters, and the first platoon commander Li Meixi led the first platoon to be stationed in Dingguantun to cooperate with the third battalion in combat.
The third battalion was stationed in the villages on both sides of Dingguantun and adopted an encirclement posture against Dingguantun. Dingguantun was the only way for Yahong Bridge to Yutian County, and the Eighth Route Army entered the village at night, built fortifications, and prepared for battle.
In a sudden battle, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Mukou area of Dingguantun were attacked by our army and fled in confusion. The troops led by Li Meixi pursued closely and finally succeeded in eliminating the devil at the big puddle, and the puppet army was also captured by all the soldiers of the "Tiger Company".
The battle lasted only 20 minutes and demonstrated the bravery and resourcefulness of our army. At the same time, it also revealed the evil deeds of Masao Yamaguchi's squadron, who were brutal and implemented the "three lights" policy against the people, and their crimes were monstrous.
Under the command of Deputy Commander Bao Sen, the "Tiger Company" successfully eliminated them and freed the people. The victory in this battle not only defended the dignity of the country, but also demonstrated to the world the strength and determination of the squadron.
A frontal attack was difficult to achieve, and Deputy Commander Bao Sen decided to adopt a night attack strategy to lure reinforcements from Yamaguchi. "Tiger Company"and the 4th Company of the 13th Regiment set up an ambush in Zhangyantai, on the road from Malanyu to Jixian, and successfully annihilated the enemy in the movement.
In this operation,"Tiger Company"On the way, I encountered thunder and lightning, heavy rain, and bad weather when I couldn't see my fingers at night. They rely on the straps to pull each other and move forward.
After an hour of wind and rain, the company finally entered the ambush area of the rolling hills. In the darkness of the night, the commanders and fighters quickly dug up bunkers and camouflaged them. After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Yamaguchi to come with the puppet Manchu army and two cars full of cars.
The car slowly drove up the hillside, and several puppet soldiers got out of the car to search, but did not see any suspicious points. Yamaguchi felt uneasy and ordered mortars to shoot at Zhangyantai Village and conduct artillery reconnaissance, but nothing was found.
Then, the car continued to move forward, and in front of the small temple of Zhangyanbai, a boulder blocked the way of the car. Yamaguchi hurriedly ordered the soldiers to get out of the car. Company Commander Jia gave an order, and machine rifles and grenades fiercely hit the enemy who had not gained a firm foothold.
A platoon of machine gun shooters Liu Shuiqing hit the mountain pass with the first bullet, and the soldiers rushed up. Cai Yongqing picked up a broadsword and hacked two enemies to death. Wang Depu, the leader of the first squad, stabbed with the enemy, used the retreat move, and then stabbed the enemy to death with agility, and fought with the enemy from behind, he was stabbed by the enemy seven or eight times in the back, but he still stood tall, used his last bit of strength to hold a devil, bit off one of his ears with his teeth, and finally died heroically.
The second squad An Yongsheng chased after the fleeing enemy, successfully grabbed and broke the enemy's leg, and the enemy begged for mercy again and again. Zhang Jifang bravely broke into the enemy formation, successfully captured a puppet soldier alive, and captured a 38 cover gun.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the enemy was ** heavy, and those who were captured alive were captured. The enemy on the South Hill was wiped out by the 4th Company. In this battle, the enemy suffered 26 casualties, 48 people were captured by the "Tiger Company", and 2 mortars, 120 shells, 1 machine gun, 33 long and short guns, and 2 automobiles were captured.
News of Yamaguchi's death quickly spread through the nearby villages, and the villagers rejoiced and came to pay respects to Yamaguchi's body and expose his crimes, and the fierce battlefield suddenly became a place to accuse the Japanese of their crimes.
In 1942, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered its most difficult stage. In order to smash the Japanese raid on eastern Hebei, Li Yunchang, commander of the military sub-district, led a force of the 11 th Regiment and a force directly under the sub-district to infiltrate the Feng (Run) Yu (Tian) Zun (Hua) area in search of an opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
One day, the divisional headquarters and the "Tiger Company" were stationed in Shigezhuang, Yutian County, and the 11th Regiment was stationed in Baiguantun and Qunxianguan. During the lunch break, the commanders and fighters suddenly heard a burst of gunfire.
Company Commander Jia Zihua quickly rushed to the second platoon sentry with a heavy machine gun squad, while Li Meixi went to assemble the whole company. Just as he was about to go out, Zhou Jiamei, the chief of the Divisional Operations Section, stopped him and told him that more than 50 devils from Sannuhe were attacking Baiguantun and were blocked by the 11th Regiment in the valley outside the village, and they might turn here to defend and wait for reinforcements.
So Section Chief Zhou asked Li Meixi to lead.
The first and third platoons went around the rear of the enemy to outflank them, and Company Commander Jia commanded the second platoon and the heavy machine gun squad to attract the enemy from the front and flank them from the north and south.
Before a word was spoken, enemy shells had already fallen on the street in front of the door. The exchange of fire between the second platoon and the enemy was fierce, and Li Meixi took it.
The first and third platoons attacked from South Street, entered the cornfields, and attacked directly behind the enemy.
When they found the footprints of the enemy, they followed closely behind and found a graveyard in a field of crops, where the enemy set up machine guns and stared straight at Baiguantun and Shigezhuang.
They did not realize that they had been surrounded, Li Meixi ordered four machine guns and two grenadiers to prepare for shooting, and at the sound of an order, all kinds of guns and bullets were fired in unison, causing the enemy to fly flesh and blood, howling again and again.
In less than an hour, all the devils died. Our troops captured 3 machine guns, 14 rifles and 3 pistols, and also captured an interpreter. In September 1943, the green gauze tent was about to fall, and the enemy was ready to continue to sweep and grab food.
Yanggezhuang is the "first town in Jingdong", stationed in the Japanese army 1418 unit Zuoteng squadron and a puppet army brigade, which is ready. Our army struck first, and part of the 2nd Division of the Army Division attacked the enemy in Xiaodian at night, luring the enemy in Yanggezhuang to come for reinforcements.
The Tiger Company "set up an ambush in the sand camp and annihilated the enemy halfway. Late at night on 16 September, the "Tiger Company" entered an ambush on both sides of the Shaziying South Highway. This place is about ten miles away from Yanggezhuang in the north and about ten miles away from Xiaodian in the south.
The enemy made a detour and broke into the shop. When they returned, they thought that it would be okay to go back and take the road, so the four-way column, marching proudly, from far and near, entered the encirclement of our army.
300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters ......Company Commander Liu Zilong gave an order, and all kinds of firearms were fired in unison. The warriors rushed to the enemy formation, killing more than half of the devils, and the rest of the devils rushed to the west to break through.
Liu Quan, the second platoon leader, gave chase with a squad and finally killed Zoteng. In more than an hour of fierce fighting, more than 40 devils of Zoten's squadron were killed, and their plan to sweep and grab food was completely shattered.
