During the War of Resistance, Captain Tian, who had not closed his eyes all night, was discussing with Wang Guoxiang, the leader of the squad in the garrison area, how to annihilate the devils. I overheard a rushing report outside the door. It turned out that a fellow villager in the xieguan camp of the neighboring village said that there was an emergency and wanted to see the captain. The two stopped talking and rushed into their hometown, only to see that he was sweating profusely and was tired enough to catch his breath. They hurried forward and helped him sit down.
Wang Guoxiang was detailed at the end, and it turned out to be Uncle Liu of the fortress household of Xieguanying Village. Hurriedly asked, "Uncle Liu, why are you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Uncle Liu gasped for a moment, fixed his mind, and said, "I sneaked out of the village to deliver you a letter, and there have been many puppet troops in the village all night, searching from house to house, and around dawn, you may come to this village, you should be wary!"
It was the summer of 1944, and under the leadership of Captain TianChuan, the soldiers of the Eighth District Brigade, who were active in the land of eastern Hebei, under the cover of the green yarn tent, they constantly took the initiative to attack the enemy, and they moved out of nowhere in various anti-Japanese base areas behind the enemy lines, fiercely striking at the arrogance of the enemy's frequent "sweeping" and "encroachment," and greatly boosting the fighting spirit of the masses.
One day, this unit sailed from the mountainous area north of Lubei, across the enemy's fortified railway line, and quietly drove to xinji town in Fuchang Anti-Japanese United County, luandong, luan.
When the local people saw the large army of disciples and soldiers they were looking forward to day and night, they were overjoyed and rushed to tell each other, and the news that "our large army has come" immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of the town. Men, women, and children of all ages went out together to happily hold the hands of the soldiers and greet each other, while taking out their own delicious things, stuffing them into the hands of the soldiers, and putting them in their pockets, for a time, the bursts of laughter that you pushed and let me go were accompanied by the song of "The sky in the Liberated Areas is a clear day, and the people in the Liberated Areas like it..." The songs were connected, shaking the new set of land.
But in times of war, the environment is always fickle. The sound of the heroic eighth district team driving to the south of the road soon reached the ears of Cao Zhengyi, a Japanese gendarme of the Japanese army's A 1414 unit stationed in Changli County.
When this devil heard this news, he sat on a needle and hurriedly ordered the first squadron of pseudo-guards stationed in the county town to go out of the city to pursue. The chicken feather letter of the enemy's dispatch soon reached Captain Tian's hands. He was confident and secretly thought: It's good to come, I'm preparing to "settle accounts" with him. Therefore, he explained the situation to the local cadres and the masses, quickly evacuated, and gathered the team to move.
When the puppet army arrived in the new market town breathless and exhausted, even the silent figures on the street could not be seen. At this time, the soldiers of my eighth district team were camping in the coastal village of Yiniuguanying, which was more than 50 miles away from Xinji. In order to confuse the enemy, in the middle of the night, Captain Tian moved his troops to Xiaopuhe Village.
The enemy pounced on the new set, and under the supervision of its master, the Japanese army, he did not stop one step at a time, running all night, looking for the direction of our army's march, and approaching step by step.
At a critical juncture, Uncle Liu sent intelligence, which led to the scene at the beginning of this article.
Captain Tian was shocked after hearing this, and he couldn't imagine that the enemy would come so quickly. Xieguan camp and Xiaopuhe, the two villages are only two miles away, fortunately, Uncle Liu sent a letter in time, but the consequences are unimaginable.
He tightly held Uncle Liu's hand and said, "Uncle, this information is too important, I represent the soldiers of the Eighth District Team, thank you." Uncle Liu smiled and said, "It's all one family, how can it be polite." Everyone laughed in unison.
Time was pressing, and there was no room for hesitation, and after Captain Tian sent Uncle Liu away, he and Wang Guoxiang carefully analyzed the enemy situation. Captain Tian believes that from the indications, the enemy does not know that we are camping in this village, so that the initiative is in our hands, and since the enemy has sent us to the door, we can annihilate the enemy on the spot.
Wang Guoxiang agreed with this opinion and added: "Here is only 10 miles away from the enemy's Zhangjiazhuang railway station stronghold, and as soon as the gunfire is fired, the enemy will rush to reinforcements, so it is better to fight quickly and make a quick decision." The two men discussed and made a decision, immediately made a battle plan, heard that there was going to be a war, just in line with the soldiers' wishes, one after another asked for battle, and each according to the instructions of Captain Tian, received the task, and entered the predetermined position. The warriors were gearing up for the enemy.
The morning fog is like a thin veil, with the rising sun, slowly dissipating, spreading chickens to report, cooking smoke, just when people are starting a new day, but suddenly there are a few crisp gunshots, the time is not big, only to see groups of puppet troops rushing to this side.
Near, close again. When the enemy entered my shooting circle, Captain Tian pistol in one fell swoop, "Fight!" As soon as he exited, the bullets from the muzzle of the gun on the position shot straight at the enemy. With the sound of the grenade exploding, the enemy puppet army was knocked out in a large piece. The enemy was suddenly hit by this, and he was suddenly dizzy, and the formation was immediately chaotic.
Less than an hour into the battle, the enemy and puppet army collapsed under the fierce impact of our army, and Sun Bald, the leader of the puppet army squad, saw that the situation was not good, and raised his hand to surrender. More than 30 puppet soldiers of the team also followed suit and became prisoners. In this battle, more than 10 enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, more than 30 were captured, 1 light machine gun, 1 grenadier, and more than 20 rifles were captured, but our army did not suffer any casualties.
After the battle, the soldiers of the Eighth District Sang the "Song of the Guerrillas" with joy: When the battle came to my hometown, we bravely went to the battlefield; the guerrillas grew up in their hometown, attacked the enemy, and destroyed the Japanese Koubao's hometown; and opened up the liberated areas, and the people were liberated.
After the war, Captain Tian said to the soldiers with deep feelings: "The victory of this battle depends on the strong support of the people, and we must not forget the masses!"
