1937, after the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, the famous general of the Northeast Army, Lu Zhengcao, led the 647th Regiment of the 53rd Army of the Kuomintang, accepted the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and was adapted into the 691st Regiment, heading to the forefront of the anti-Japanese and national salvation.
Lu Zhengcao led his troops to bravely fight the enemy, writing heroic stories after heroic story. Not long after, Lu Zhengcao officially joined the Communist Party of China and was appointed as the commander of the third column of the Eighth Route Army and the commander of the Hebei Central Military Region. He led his troops to the Hebei Central Plains to continue the fight against Japan, writing the immortal legend of the Hebei Central War.
Lu Zhengcao
General Lu Zhengcao is brave and resourceful. He once removed the Japanese stronghold without any effort. After receiving the war report, Chairman Mao called it incredible and praised Lu Zhengcao for his wisdom and courage.
In October 1940, according to the instructions of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Lu Zhengcao personally led the Hebei Central Army to the Pinghan Railway near the Pinghan Railway to participate in the famous Hundred Regiments Battle .
When they arrived at Lincheng County, near Pinghan Railway, the scouts found that the Japanese invaders built a north-south blockade ditch west of the Pinghan Railway, and established a stronghold near the blockade ditch. In the stronghold, there were not only Japanese troops, but also puppet troops, police stations, artillery towers and bunkers.
Lu Zhengcao understands that if this stronghold is not removed, their military operations to destroy the Pinghan Railway will be subject to great threat.
Lu Zhengcao was observing the enemy situation
Just as Lu Zhengcao was discussing countermeasures with the military chiefs, the Lincheng County Anti-Japanese Independence Battalion and the Defense Militia came to report on the enemy situation.
It turns out that the Japanese and puppet troops in this stronghold often go out to burn, kill, loot, and the villagers nearby suffer deeply and are eager to eliminate this disaster for them.
Not only that, the Japanese invaders also installed traitors in all villages and villages. They are secret spies and spies of the Japanese devils. Once there is any disturbance in the village, they will inform the Japanese devils as soon as possible. Therefore, if the Eighth Route Army wants to remove the Japanese invaders' strongholds, they must first clear out the traitors in the village.
In the early morning of October 11, the commander of the reconnaissance company of the security brigade disguised himself as a villager and went to the vicinity of the Japanese stronghold to inquire about the news.
He found that outside the base, there were always fellow villagers carrying things. After inquiring, I learned that the captain of the puppet army was about to celebrate his birthday in a few days and was arranging a birthday party recently. These things were gifts from traitors in nearby villages to him.
After learning this important information, a clever plan came into being from Lu Zhengcao's heart. He said happily: " I want to make his birthday his death day! "
Lu Zhengcao
That night, Lu Zhengcao personally led the first company of the security brigade to various villages to fight traitors. With the help of the independent battalion and the militia, the Eighth Route Army accurately eliminated the traitors arranged by the Japanese invaders in various villages and strictly blocked the news.
The next day, Lu Zhengcao sent the company commander of the reconnaissance company to the stronghold to "send gifts" to the puppet army captain. He lied that it was a traitor in the village who was sick, so he came over.
The guard at the stronghold looked at him and interrogated for a long time, but the company commander answered fluently. The enemy did not find any flaws and finally put him in.
After seeing the puppet army leader, the company commander first gave the gift, and then pretended to be mysterious and said to the puppet army leader: " This gift is just a few gadgets. Our master has prepared something more fun for you in the village! But it can't be delivered. "
"What good thing is ? Can't be delivered? " Hearing the company commander say this, the puppet army leader immediately became interested, and he asked with interest.
" Of course, that's something that the Japanese will snatch away at a glance. If this is sent over, it won't be in your hands~ Think about what the Japanese like the most? " The company commander pretended to be lustful and said to him with a squinted eyes.
"~" The puppet army captain immediately understood, " Your master is really intent~"
Seeing that the puppet army captain had taken the bait, the company commander immediately said lustfully: " Since you like it, why don't you go to the village with me today. It's new, but it's so beautiful, let you go and play for a few days! "
" OK~" The puppet army captain was so happy after hearing this passage, and quickly packed up.
In the afternoon of that day, the puppet army commander followed the reconnaissance company commander out of the stronghold with only a dozen puppet army followers.
When the puppet army and his gang were walking halfway, the Eighth Route Army, who had been ambushing for a long time, rushed forward and captured them all.
According to Lu Zhengcao's arrangement, the puppet army captain was handed over to the local people's government. After the public trial of the people, the puppet army captain who was a disaster to the village was sentenced to firing!
Lu Zhengcao
The remaining dozen puppet army followers were all willing to be the inner supporters of the Eighth Route Army after being educated.
Two days later, after careful arrangements, several Eighth Route Army soldiers scrambled among the puppet troops who were instigating the rebellion and sneaked into the Japanese stronghold.
At 2 a.m. on October 15, Lu Zhengcao personally led his team to secretly approach the enemy's stronghold and quickly encircled.
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army, who had long been sneaking into the stronghold, silently killed the guards of the stronghold, while the puppet army, who instigated the rebellion, secretly opened the door to the stronghold from the inside.
At this time, all the Japanese in the stronghold were sleeping soundly. The Eighth Route Army soldiers held short swords and rushed to the Japanese barracks. The Japanese Japanese were unprepared and all saw the King of Hell in their sleep.
The remaining puppet troops and policemen saw the Eighth Route Army suddenly appear in front of them, like a divine weapon falling from the sky. They were so scared that they all raised their hands to surrender and knelt down and begged for mercy.
The battle ended quickly under the cover of night, silently and without any damage to the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
The soldiers burned all the police stations, artillery towers and bunkers in the stronghold, and then carried the seized weapons and escorted the prisoners to evacuate quickly.
After destroying the Japanese invaders' strongholds, Lu Zhengcao's central Hebei troops continued to carry out the tasks assigned by the Eighth Route Army headquarters, destroyed the Pinghan Railway, effectively preventing the transportation of materials and troops from the Japanese invaders, causing the battle situation in the central Hebei region to reverse, and directly shattering the enemy's conspiracy to establish rule in the central Hebei region.
After Lu Zhengcao reported this battle result to Chairman Mao, Chairman Mao was very excited. He said to the staff around him: " This Lu Zhengcao is really wise and brave. He can pull out the enemy's stronghold without a single soldier. It is incredible! "
Chairman Mao
Lu Zhengcao's clever tricks to reach the fort soon spread to nearby villages. The people also made a rumor for General Lu they loved: " The famous general Lu Zhengcao in Hebei passed by Lincheng to show off heroes; led the soldiers to eliminate traitors and attack the Japanese invaders' fortress; the military and civilians worked together to shock the enemy's guts, and the red flag flew on the Taihang Mountain ! "
