Since 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has broken out, and the Japanese army has continuously sent troops to attack, plunging the land of China into endless wars. In the face of the well-equipped Japanese army, our army adopted the strategy of guerrilla warfare and met the invading enemy in a roundabout way. In October 1939, the Japanese army sent a large number of troops to the Jinchaji base area, which our army had long been aware of, and sent Yang Chengwu, commander of the First Independent Division of the Eighth Route Army, to meet the enemy.
At that time, a wing of the Japanese army entered the Jinchaji region with great fanfare, they had sophisticated weapons and equipment, plus thousands of puppet troops to take the lead, so that they had no fear, but they did not know that General Yang had already laid an ambush in the area of Yansu Cliff. In order to lure the Japanese into an ambush, our army sent a team to provoke their vanguard, and then pretended to be defeated and retreated, so that the Japanese thought that they had victory in their hands, so they desperately pursued.
Soon, they entered the encirclement of our army, and the Japanese found out that they had been hit. But it was too late, hundreds of people were lost in less than four hours, and the rest were besieged beyond their reach. The Japanese army soon learned the news and immediately rushed to the rescue, but our army had already set up an ambush halfway, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, and the two sides launched a fierce battle, and in just three hours, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was soon annihilated. The battle went very smoothly and yielded fruitful results, and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was very satisfied with this.
However, when cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army accidentally found a military coat, and it can be seen that the identity of the owner of this dress is not low due to the workmanship and texture. Yang Chengwu liked this military coat very much and enjoyed it as a trophy, but when he looked closely, he found that the collar was embroidered with the words "Tsuji Village", and these two words were not unfamiliar to Yang Chengwu, and his face changed on the spot.
Because Yang Chengwu knew that many Japanese officers would embroider their names on their clothes, and "Tsuji Village" should be the senior officer of the Japanese army, Tsujimura Kenyoshi. Originally, it wasn't a big deal to kill him, but what was terrible was his friend Norihide Abe, who was arrogant and good at guerrilla warfare, and was very famous in Japan, which made the Eighth Route Army suffer a lot.
Not only that, this person is notoriously jealous, and now that our army has killed his friend, how can he give up, and he will inevitably take the troops to seek revenge. Therefore, Yang Chengwu immediately reported the situation to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and at the same time reminded the soldiers to always be ready for battle.
Sure enough, Abe Norihide was furious after learning that his friend had been killed, and he took his troops to the Eighth Route Army to take revenge. He thought very highly of himself, he didn't take the Eighth Route Army in his eyes at all, and threatened to defeat the Eighth Route Army with only more than 1,000 people, but he didn't know that our army was fully prepared and waiting for him.
When Abe Norihide led the Japanese army to the territory of the Eighth Route Army, he was soon attacked, although it was only a small fight by some guerrillas, and did not cause much damage to the Japanese army, but it was enough to make him angry. At the same time, it also made him realize that the Eighth Route Army had been prepared, so Abe Norihide found a place to rest the team, and sent a telegram to the headquarters to request support.
While they were resting, the traces of the other party were gradually revealed. At that time, when our soldiers saw the antenna in the courtyard, they knew that Abe Norihide was hiding here, so they did not hesitate to transfer a few cannons and bomb them against the Japanese army, leaving them powerless.
Norihide Abe never thought that he would be so down-and-out, and in the face of the bombardment of our army, he could not avoid it, resulting in serious injuries and fainting for a while. Since they were under siege and had no good medical care at all, the military doctor treated his wounds, but still could not save his life, and soon he died of infection.
This battle was a very important victory for our army, and it was a great joy to get rid of two senior Japanese officers one after another, which dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's morale, and Yang Chengwu's unit was rewarded by his superiors.
It can be seen that fighting a war depends not only on equipment and numbers, but also on strategy, and General Yang Chengwu guessed the future of the battle with only a military coat, which really has to make people admire his wisdom. And this is also the ability that a general should have, courage and strategy are indispensable, otherwise you will be like Abe Norihide, how to die I don't know.
