Qin Jiwei's superior is a colonel? Didn't take office as a deputy in the year?
At noon on March 21, 1940, the Advance Headquarters of the Western Hebei Guerrilla Corps held a meeting of cadres above the battalion level in Nankuang Village. Halfway through the meeting, there was a sudden rumbling of cannonball.
The cannonballs whizzed past and landed on the mountain peaks behind the village, splashing dust into the sky. All the commanders and fighters present were nervous, could it be that the enemy had discovered our whereabouts?
Yin Xianbing, deputy commander of the Western Hebei Guerrilla Corps, who was speaking, stopped and turned his gaze to Fan Jinbiao, commander of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 3rd Detachment: "Please go out to reconnoiter and find out the specific situation." ”
Fan Jinbiao is Zhou Gong's guard, shrewd, capable, witty and brave. Upon receiving the order, he immediately mounted his war horse, waved his whip, and disappeared from sight. About a quarter of an hour later, he galloped back, turned over and dismounted under the gaze of everyone, and reported to Yin Xianbing: "Commander, our scouts have just returned and found about 300 Japanese troops rushing towards our base area!" ”
Yin Xianbing said to the dispatcher: "Please ask Commander Wang and Political Commissar Huang to destroy this Japanese army!" Soon, Wang Shusheng and Huang Zhen's replies arrived: "Immediately interrupt the meeting and move quickly!" ”
They made the right decision. On the one hand, the Japanese army is well-equipped, with machine guns, mortars, etc.**; On the other hand, not long after the formation of our guerrilla corps, it was backward, and many fighters had never even fired a gun, and some fighters still had guns in their hands.
In addition, on the nights of March 19 and 20, the 3rd and 6th detachments of Jiyou cooperated with the independent battalion of Yuanshi County to carry out four consecutive strong attacks on the enemy at Maling; However, due to the very strong fortifications of the Maling stronghold, the battle was fought until dawn, and the troops were forced to withdraw from the battle.
Under these circumstances, the timing of the exchange of fire with the Japanese army was obviously not right, and I was afraid that they would lose the battle.
Yin Xianbing decided to beat the Japanese soldiers who came to his door to complete the task assigned by his superiors. He believed that the unique terrain around the Heishui River was very suitable for ambush warfare, and that they were twice as numerous as the Japanese army, so they had a good chance of victory.
Although his subordinates were uneven and somewhat tired, he insisted on fighting. Yin Xianbing is famous for daring to fight evil battles and gnawing hard bones, and has a nickname "Yin Maniac", and Wang Jinshan is also known as "Erye Double Tiger".
He was once unknown, but his military talent was innate, and his energy has been accumulating in his body, and the accumulation will explode to a certain extent. He formulated an operational plan of "attracting from the front, outflanking the flanks, copying the enemy's rear routes, and blocking reinforcements" and mobilized all units.
He was a natural warrior and a gifted orator, and his words were inflammatory. Eventually, the battle became a turning point in Yoon's military career.
A brief conversation inspired the fighters to fight highly. They quickly got in place, set traps, and waited for the arrival of the enemy. Not long after, the Japanese puppet army appeared in the southeast of the Heishui River.
The Yuan's separate battalion immediately attacked, attacking the enemy from a distance. The enemy mistook it for a small motley army and carelessly pursued the independent battalion. Before you know it, the Japanese army has penetrated deep into the deep valley of the Heishui River.
One might ask, was the Japanese army really so stupid that they didn't know that the guerrillas might set up an ambush? In particular, this Japanese army is a reserve of Japanese officers, which is undergoing intensive training and is about to be promoted to lieutenant.
According to common sense, it should also be known that this is a military danger and cannot be easily entered. However, the Japanese were well-armed and thought highly of themselves, and judging from the sparse gunfire, the other side was nothing more than a ragtag army.
Therefore, they did not take the partisans seriously at all. In fact, the resistance encountered by the Japanese army in the rear was limited, and the gap in strength was too great. That's why they are so arrogant, knowing that they are in danger.
As the saying goes, "there will be rain when the sky is mad, and woe will be on the madness", the nightmare of this group of Japanese soldiers came. Seeing the guerrillas, they are like tigers seeing their prey, and they are extremely excited. They chase after each other, completely unaware that there may be a trap ahead.
They gritted their teeth and pursued, breaking into the guerrilla encirclement step by step, until the sound of gunfire on the hillside, they realized that they had been ambushed. The Japanese quickly regrouped and prepared to break out.
However, they found that the back road had been cut off. They decided to rush up the hill, occupy the commanding heights, and counterattack with superior firepower. However, the puppet army lacked combat effectiveness, the formation was chaotic, the armor was lost, and it was cut off by the guerrillas.
In the case of high mountains and steep slopes, the Japanese troops who rushed to the commanding heights were pushed back by the intensive fire of the guerrillas. The partisans, who did not have guns in their hands, worked together, some carried stones, and some threw them at the Japanese soldiers.
After several hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was exhausted. The surrounding villagers sent dry food, but the Japanese army was unable to fight because of hunger. Therefore, the Japanese army had to give up the breakout and resist on the spot.
They were back to back, fighting against the attacks of the partisans. Knowing that the guerrillas had a geographical advantage, the Japanese could only hope for close combat, that is, white-knuckle combat. The Japanese army's white-knuckle warfare technology was superb, and even the Russian army in the Russo-Japanese War could not match it, and even the American army in the Pacific theater was very difficult to deal with the Japanese army.
Soon, the partisans rushed down the hill and smashed into the Japanese formation like tigers. The Japanese army was bold and fearless, and dealt with several guerrillas one by one. In a short time, many guerrillas fell in front of the Japanese ranks, bleeding all over the ground.
However, as the guerrillas came one after another, more and more, the formation of the Japanese began to loosen, and the rifles in their hands began to tremble. The Japanese commander ordered the soldiers to calm down, reorganize, and change their tactics, from the original formation to three groups and five groups to form a battle group to resist.
The Japanese soldiers, armed with bayonets, methodically stabbed the partisans. The guerrillas were not trained to assassinate, but they shared the same hatred of the enemy, their eyes breathed fire, and they stabbed the enemy with a messy step.
In the whole valley, the sword flashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. In the battle, Yin Xianbing took the lead and entered the enemy line with a bayonet. Despite being wounded in his left arm and bleeding profusely, he still opened his eyes with rage and fought fiercely with the Japanese army.
Seeing this, the soldiers became even more courageous.
The Japanese commander panicked, he organized the remaining soldiers, fought and retreated, and fled to a large temple called Guilin Temple in the west of the ditch, in a vain attempt to use this strong temple to resist stubbornly and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
This Guilin temple was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the walls of more than four meters high are all made of green bricks, which is very strong. The enemy placed several machine guns at the entrance to the main temple, aimed at the open space in front of them, blocking the intersection from several angles.
The partisans launched several attacks, but they were all repulsed by the enemy, and many fighters fell in the clearing. Yin Xianbing's heart was distressed when he saw this scene, although he was not afraid of death, he cherished the lives of his fighters very much, so he immediately ordered the attack to be stopped, bringing the battle to a stalemate.
At this time it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon, and if we continued to delay, the arrival of enemy reinforcements would cause us great trouble. Moreover, after several hours of fierce fighting, our ammunition has been depleted, and this encirclement and annihilation battle may fall short.
Yin Xianbing was so anxious that his brain began to rac, thinking about how to break the deadlock and destroy the enemy.
The wall of Yin Xianbing's courtyard is tall and strong, and the Japanese army does not have enough heavy ** to attack, but it will be detrimental to our army to besiege us for a long time. To this end, he came up with a clever plan - fire attack.
He told his idea to political commissar Yang Xiufeng and got his support. Yin Xianbing gave an order, and the soldiers and nearby villagers immediately took action. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the walls of the temple were piled with crop straws such as corn, cotton, and sorghum.
At this moment, a northwest wind blew in the sky, and the fire burned, and the wind helped the fire, and the fire used the power of the wind to swallow the entire temple in an instant. However, after waiting for a long time, I did not see the Japanese troops rushing out.
Because the fire was still a few tens of meters away from the Japanese army, they just felt uncomfortable, but there was no danger to their lives and they did not dare to go out rashly. At this time, a soldier inadvertently said, "This is the same as a haunted cave room", which gave Yin Xianbing inspiration.
In order to repel the Japanese army, he came up with a clever plan to add "seasoning" to the fire, and successfully introduced the Japanese army into the guerrilla ambush circle and achieved brilliant results.
This battle also made him famous in the first battle, and he became the commander of the new 12th Brigade of the 11th Division of the Eighth Route Army. However, despite his talent, he experienced ups and downs on the road of life, and even became a major general, but was only awarded the rank of colonel.
Why, then, did he not receive a higher rank? Let's do it.
During the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, Qin Jiwei served as the commander of the 15th Army and Yin Xianbing served as the commander of the 16th Army, both of whom led the troops to participate in this great war. The 16th Army, as the only composite army of our army, was pinned on high hopes.
In September 1951, the chairman personally met with Yin Xianbing, commander of the 16th Army. On the battlefield, the 16th Army was mainly responsible for anti-airborne and anti-landing missions, although it did not have the opportunity to participate in large-scale battles and establish miraculous achievements like the 15th Army, but its first political commissar Wang Huiqiu was still awarded the honor of founding lieutenant general.
The political commissar of the 16th Army, Kai, was also a founding major general, and he and five other comrades were originally qualified to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general, but they took the initiative to apply for the promotion of major general, and this spirit of selfless dedication is admirable.
Yoon Hsien-bing's exploits and seniority earned him the rank of colonel in 1955, but this was clearly an anomaly. It is said that he himself had reservations about conferring the rank of colonel and was willing to wear a military uniform only on necessary occasions.
So, why is Yin Xianbing's military rank so low? This is mainly because he made a mistake. At that time, the 16th Army used all Soviet-style equipment, and before entering the DPRK, the cadres of the army were trained by Soviet instructors and studied Soviet-style training courses.
In the process, Yin Xianbing learned to dance with the instructors of the Soviet Army.
During the Joseon Dynasty, Yin Xianbing not only found a dance partner, but also held a dance party at the military headquarters of the 16th Army. In order to make himself dance better, he even transferred a female secretary as a dance partner ......After the matter was revealed, Yin Xianbing's position as military commander was not guaranteed, and he went to work at the Political Academy instead.
However, on New Year's Day 1983, he received an invitation from Political Commissar Deng to serve as deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region, which made Yin Xianbing very excited and promised to report for duty a month later.
Regrettably, Yoon was unable to perform his duties. The reason was that he had lost two old leaders and comrades-in-arms on January 6, General Yang Yong and Xu Liqing, which dealt him a heavy blow.
That night, Yin Xianbing unfortunately suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died in Beijing in early February at the age of 68. It is a pity that General Wang Jinshan, who is the same name as him, has been dead for 5 years.
