Glorious Mission 1937

Since the Japanese army was preparing to attack Henan, Bin Shanyuan ordered the intelligence department to closely monitor every move of the Eighth Theater, so the abnormal behavior of Chen Feng's troops was quickly reported to the North China Front Army Command.After Bin Shanyuan received the report from Koga Chiyoko, he immediately summoned Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe to discuss it. The two agreed that the transfer of the Eighth War Zone was different from the previous one, and it should be directed at the Imperial Japanese Army. Therefore, the North China Front Army urgently issued a military order, and all troops immediately canceled their vacations, and the public security area (occupied area) near the eighth war zone immediately reduced its troops.

At the same time, the 14th Division directly under the North China Front Army, the mixed 15th Brigade, the Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Chariot Wing assembled in an emergency, ready to meet possible attacks in the Eighth Theater.

However, Bin Shanyuan did not wait for the attack of the Eighth Theater, but waited for the attack of the Eighth Route Army.It was not the Eighth War Zone, nor the First and Second War Zones that first came into contact with the Japanese army, but the Eighth Route Army, which has always been low-key.

After receiving the telegram from Yan'an, the various departments of the Eighth Route Army mobilized quickly. On September 9, the division headquarters of the 22th Division issued an order requiring all regular troops, guerrillas, county brigades, and district teams under the 129th Division to act immediately. Actively looking for fighters, a large-scale raid and harassment station was carried out in the hinterland of the Japanese army, creating opportunities for battles in the second and eighth theaters.

On September 1939, 9, the 24th Division of the Eighth Route Army grasped the law that the Japanese army must retaliate after being attacked, and learned through investigation that Wei County was a key stronghold of the Japanese army with many defenders. Brigadier Commander Xu Shiyou) secretly assembled in the area near Xiangchenggu, south of Qiu County.Lure the Japanese army to commit crimes and annihilate them. [

On the afternoon of the 24th, the 386th Brigade sent small troops to continuously attack the Japanese troops in Weixian, Quzhou and other counties. On the 25th, the Supplementary Battalion of the 10th Regiment of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Weixian County, with the cooperation of an infantry regiment (600 people) of the puppet army, and under the command of the captain Sato Shaozuo, swept south of Weixian County. At about 12 o'clock when the Japanese army entered the vicinity of the Dishi Battalion, the cavalry company of the 386th Brigade made a surprise attack, killing the Japanese captain and translator, and then retreated while fighting.Lure the Japanese army into the Xiangchenggu area.

30 minutes later.The Japanese army advanced to Xiangchenggu and stormed the position of the 688st Battalion of the 1th Regiment.After fierce fighting, the 1st Battalion destroyed 2 Japanese vehicles and killed and wounded more than 120 Japanese and puppet soldiers.Defeat the Japanese attack.then.The Japanese army attacked the northeast corner of Xiangchenggu again.It was stubbornly blocked by the supplementary regiment and suffered heavy casualties.At 17:688, the Japanese army attempted to break out to the west.It was blocked by the main force of the 1th Regiment hiding in Zhangjiazhuang and Maluobao, and the retreat was cut off by the main force of the newly formed 386st Regiment.At dusk, the 942th Brigade launched attacks from all sides, and the Japanese army was wiped out.In this battle, more than 81 Japanese troops were killed, 247 were captured, 397 puppet soldiers were killed, 8 were captured, 18 artillery pieces, more than 350 long and short forced (trunks) were captured, [-] cars were destroyed, and the Eighth Route Army suffered only [-] casualties. .

When the news came, the Japanese army was extremely angry. General Binshan Yuan never imagined that he had taken all precautions against the wrong target, and Tubalu came to a black tiger to dig his heart out.He didn't care much about the demise of a mere supplementary brigade, but after the Sato brigade was wiped out, there was less than one infantry squadron left in the imperial army in the entire Qiu County area, and Qiu County is adjacent to Handan, Xingtai and other places. Eighth Road crossed Qiu County and entered Handan, and the problem was serious.

Although the Tuba Road is not good for field battles, when it comes to sabotage, even the Eighth War Zone of China, which Huang Jun is most concerned about, can't hold a candle to it.If you can take it lightly in the past, but you must not be careless now. Handan and Xingtai are the logistics bases of the 32nd Division going south. Once the supplies of the Imperial Army in Henan are lost, it will become a problem.Even if it is impossible for the Tuba Road to attack a big city like Handan, letting them destroy the railway line along the line will greatly affect the operations of the troops. Therefore, Bin Shanyuan ordered the Tenth Division stationed in southern Hebei to immediately dispatch powerful troops to encircle and suppress Hebei. Tuba Road in the south.

This time the Japanese army obviously underestimated the Eighth Route Army, especially the 129th Division.The Japanese army has always been very proud of its intelligence department. In previous battles, they knew the strength and movements of the national government's large and small armies, but they only knew about the eighth war zone and Tuba Road. , So until now the Japanese army does not know how many troops there are in the No.18 Army of the Eighth Theater and Tuba Road.Because of this, the Japanese army paid enough for their recklessness this time.

On September 1939, 9, the 27th and 39th Wings of the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army, with the cooperation of the Artillery Wing, the Cavalry Wing, and the Division Search Team, together with a puppet infantry brigade, totaled 40 More than [-] people drove to Qiu County, trying to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei, and fight with it decisively, and finally annihilate it!

However, this time the Eighth Route Army did not move quietly as before, but put up a posture and waited for the arrival of the Japanese army, as if they wanted to fight the Japanese army.

八路军有这个底气也有这个实力，作为延安领导的仅有的三个步兵师之一，129师和115师、120师一样，都有着很辉煌的前身。129师是于1937年8月25日由红军第四方面军第4、第31军，西北红军第29、第30军和独立第1至第4团以及第15军团的骑兵团等改编而成，全师共13万余人。刘*承任师长，徐*前任副师长。

Since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, this army has been active on the Shanxi Plateau. Although there were not many big battles, there were many small battles. Small victories turned into big victories, but the results should not be underestimated. Some of the battles were even more miraculous! Since the 129th Division crossed the Yellow River on September 1937, 9 and went to the North China Anti-Japanese War Front, it first attacked the Japanese frontline airfield at Yangmingbao, Dai County, Shanxi at night with the 30th Regiment of the advance unit, damaging 769 aircraft.Then, the main force of the division advanced to the Pingding and Xiyang areas south of the Zhengtai (now Shitai) Railway to attack the Japanese troops advancing westward along the Zhengtai Railway, and successively won battles in Changshengkou, Qigen Village, Huangyadi, and Guangyang. .

Since then, in order to contain the Japanese army's attack on the Yellow River defense line and cooperate with the Kuomintang Army in southern Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi and Southwest Shanxi, the 129th Division fought in February and March 1938 at Zhengtai Railway and Hand (Dan) Chang (Zhi) Traffic raids and ambushes were carried out along the highway, winning victories in battles such as Shentouling and Xiangtangpu successively, and wiped out more than 2 Japanese troops. From the beginning of April to the 3th, the 2000th Division, under the command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, fought together with the 4th Brigade of the 27th Division, the 129st and 115nd Columns of the Death Squad, and smashed the "nine-nine" attack by more than 344 Japanese troops on the southeast of Shanxi. Road siege", regained 1 county towns including Liao County and Licheng, and consolidated and expanded the anti-Japanese democratic bases in Shanxi, Hebei and Henan.By October 2, in just one year, the 3th Division had grown to more than 18 people.

Not long ago, the 129th Division just completed the reorganization of the troops. After the reorganization, the 129th Division has 14 infantry brigades and some troops directly under the division, with a total strength of more than 7 people.More importantly, due to the support of the Eighth Theater, although the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army at this time were still not comparable to those of the Japanese army, they were more luxurious than before.Take the 129th Division as an example, there are 14 brigades in the division, 8 of which are fully equipped with Hanyang-made rifles, 4 are full-scale official rifles, and the remaining two brigades are all Japanese-made rifles. equipment.

After more than two years of development, the 129th Division has adjusted all the weapons and equipment of the troops, and they are no longer as diverse as before. Regardless of whether the guns are still the same guns, but after adjustments and supplements, the combat effectiveness of the troops has increased by at least 1 times, and even more!

But the Japanese army didn't know about all of this, and they took it for granted that more than 1 people went to encircle and suppress, and the Tuba Road was not defeated without a fight, at most they fled before the arrival of the imperial army as before.

It's a pity that the Japanese army was wrong. At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 28th, a Japanese forward brigade was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in the east of Qiu County. The battle lasted only half an hour, and the Japanese infantry brigade suffered more than half of the casualties. retreat.

After the Japanese commander Major General Yamada Jiro arrived, he asked about the situation and immediately ordered a large force to pursue it.However, in the same sky, the Japanese army was ambushed again by the Eighth Route Army. In this battle, the Eighth Route Army installed nearly 20 tons of explosives on the mountain wall, and detonated the explosives after the main force of the Japanese army entered the first-line sky.The violent explosion collapsed the mountain walls on both sides of Yixiantian, and all the more than 4000 troops who entered Yixiantian were buried alive.

Then the Eighth Route Army launched a charge against the remnants of the Japanese army. Four brigades with a total of more than 5000 people surrounded the remaining more than 2000 Japanese puppet troops and stormed. After eight hours of hard work, the Japanese army finally broke through with less than [-] people, and the rest were put on hold. In a line of sky.During the battle, more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops were killed and injured, and more than [-] people were captured. Only [-] people escaped back to Qiu County by chance. Even the supreme commander, Major General Yamada Jiro, was killed in battle. The loss was extremely heavy!

The Eighth Route Army's great victory in southern Hebei greatly stimulated the low morale in the country. For a while, citizens in big cities such as Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, and Xi'an rushed to the local Eighth Route Army offices to express their condolences. Even those who have always looked down on the Eighth Route Army Lao Jiang also had to admit that the Eighth Route Army was really impressive this time.

The Chinese were rejoicing, while the Japanese army was gloomy. The loss of more than 1 troops is very important to the Japanese army at this time. Now the North China Front Army has to deal with the pressure of China's three theaters at the same time. It is indeed frightening!

But the Chinese army will not give the Japanese army a chance to breathe. Just when the Eighth Route Army surrounded and wiped out the Yamada Brigade of the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army, more than 3 people from the two group armies in the second theater sent the Japanese army stationed in the Luliang area to form the third brigade. The offensive was launched, and the two sides fought head-to-head. Although the first army mixed into the third brigade had a good location, they couldn't stand the large number of soldiers in the World War II zone. The battle was out of control from the beginning. The artillery on both sides rushed after the infantry. After the infantry rushed to the artillery, the battle was extremely fierce! (To be continued..)[
