One day in October 1941, Yu Qiuli, the political commissar of the 8th Regiment of the 358th Brigade in the Guancen Mountain area, suddenly received an urgent telegram from the military region, asking him to arrive at the military region day and night. The telegram was signed by the two leaders He and Guan.
Yu Qiuli didn't know what big thing happened, so she didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately took the guard squad and rushed to the military district headquarters in a starry night.
When he arrived at the military region, Chief He and Guan went out for something, and Chief of Staff of Zhou Shidi received Yu Qiuli. Chief of Staff Zhou first asked about some of the situations in the 8th Regiment, and Yu Qiuli answered them one by one. But I was confused: I hurriedly summoned me to the military region to ask about this?
Zhou Shidi
Zhou Chief of Staff changed his tone and his tone became serious: "I read the third quarter report you reported. There are 2,100 people in the 8th Regiment. Have you got the numbers wrong? Write 1,200 people into 2,100 people?"
"The number is not wrong, it is 2,100 people!" Yu Qiuli answered very affirmatively.
"This is strange. I remember that when you went to Guancen Mountain in May, there were 1,800 people. You have been fighting continuously for the past few months. Why did the troops increase instead of reducing?" Chief Zhou was even more confused.
It is not only Chief of Staff Zhou who is confused, but I believe all readers and friends have this question too. This matter has to start in May 1941.
yuqiuli
After receiving the order, the political commissar of the League Yuqiuli (the leader of the League Liu Bin studied in Anti-Dao and was not in office) led his troops to Yanjia Village and Lucaowan areas south of Ningwu. After the troops were stationed, Yu Qiuli immediately sent several scouts to the enemy's back. On the one hand, they reconnaissed the enemy situation in this area, and on the other hand, they searched for local underground organizations.
On this day, the scout went to Ningwu to bring a young comrade, who was gentle and gentle, and he was obviously an intellectual. I found out after asking that he was Yang Jing, secretary of Ningwu County Party Committee.
Yu Qiuli asked him where the county party committee is? Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, right at our feet. It turned out that after Yan Xishan 's troops fled south, the Japanese army occupied Ningwu and implemented the "Strengthening Public Security Movement". Each village set up a village office, a maintenance meeting, and also installed spies, which brought great difficulties to the anti-Japanese activities. The Ningwu County Party Committee can now control only two and a half villages.
"Two and a half villages?" Yu Qiuli was a little puzzled.
"One is Wujiagou, the other is Conggou, and the other is Baojiawan too small, with only a dozen families, which can only be considered half." Yang Jing continued, "I have been looking forward to the arrival of the Eighth Route Army. Once you come, our future work will be easier."
Yu Qiuli asked him, what is your biggest difficulty at present? Yang Jing replied that, one is the lack of weapons, the other is the lack of cadres. Nowadays, the comrades of the county party committee are working in the enemy-occupied areas with bare hands, which is very dangerous; due to the lack of cadres, some district party committee institutions have not been established.
After Yu Qiuli and Yang Jing talked, they immediately did two things: one was to draw pistols from the regiment and battalions to arm local comrades; the other was to select comrades who were loyal and reliable and had experience in mass work to Ningwu as district-level cadres. Years of experience have told him that without the support and help of local organizations, the military activities will be difficult, let alone development and growth.
According to Yang Jing's suggestion, Yu Qiuli set up the regiment headquarters in Wujiagou. The local people were both looking forward to and afraid of the Eighth Route Army. They hoped that the Eighth Route Army would arrive soon, and they were also afraid that the Eighth Route Army would not be the opponent of the Japanese army. When the Eighth Route Army retreats, it will be subject to greater revenge.
Faced with this ambivalent mentality of the masses, Yu Qiuli pointed out at the cadre meeting: The masses are afraid of this and that, and the fundamental reason is that they have no confidence in us. If we want to gain a foothold here and open up the situation, we must actively look for opportunities, take the initiative, and strive to win more battles.
fighter jets come at the moment. On June 20 and 21, the 8th Regiment fought fiercely with the invading enemy near Yanjia Village for two days. Our army killed and injured more than 40 enemies at the cost of slightly injuring 5 people, repelling the enemy's attack. The victory of the first battle greatly encouraged the confidence of the local people in fighting the enemy.
htmlOn August 3, the Japanese army in Kelan County dispatched more than 300 infantry and more than 80 cavalrymen to Huangdaochuan and snatched more than 150 cows and more than 1,000 sheep from the local people, and camped at the chicken house overnight.
After Yu Qiuli received the news, he led the 2nd and 3rd battalions to attack quickly and arrived at Jierjia in the middle of the night. At this time, the Japanese army, who had enough food and drink, were sleeping soundly, and our army suddenly launched a fierce attack. Under the rapid offensive of our army, the Japanese army, who were sleeping in a daze, could not organize an effective counterattack at all, and could only escape in scattered ways. In this battle, more than 80 enemies were killed. Not only did the robbed cattle and sheep be recaptured, 60 mules and horses were also seized. Only a few of our army were slightly injured.
Looking at so many cattle and sheep, I haven’t smelled the smell of beef and mutton in a few months, some commanders and soldiers were a little greedy. Someone suggested to Yu Qiuli that it is too difficult for the soldiers to fight on hungry days. Can they slaughter a few to improve their lives?
Yu Qiuli said seriously that everyone is from a hard-working family and should know that this cow and a few sheep are all the belongings of a family. If we eat their cattle and sheep, we will take away the jobs of the masses and eat the prestige of the Eighth Route Army. After Yu Qiuli's patient persuasion, everyone agreed to return all the cattle and sheep to the masses. The people near
were very happy when they came to collect cattle and sheep. They held the hands of the commanders and soldiers, and were so excited that they burst into tears. After this incident spread, the Eighth Route Army had a higher prestige in the hearts of the local people.
htmlOn August 5, 12 Japanese troops from the Dongzhai stronghold, led more than 40 puppet troops and more than 20 engineering personnel to Xiejiagou to cut down trees.
At this time, the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion happened to be active near Wuzhai. Qian Zhian, the instructor of the 2nd battalion who led the team, was overjoyed after he grasped this situation. This group of enemies is far away from the stronghold and is not familiar with the terrain, which is a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy.
At 8 o'clock that night, the 5th Company, led by local people, detoured towards Xiejiagou. At 12 o'clock in the evening, the 5th Company quietly surrounded Xiejiagou and controlled the highlands outside the village.
At one o'clock in the morning, the bomb drop team was in front and the assassination team was behind, and quietly touched the village. After killing the enemy sentry, the bomb drop team immediately dropped bombs into the enemy's house, and the sleeping enemy was blown to howl. The alive rushed out in a hurry, ran out, and the assassination team guarding the door stabbed one to death.
This night attack lasted less than 3 hours, and none of the 76 enemies missed the net. Among them, 42 people were shot and 34 were captured. 31 rifles, 1 pistol, and 2,000 bullets were seized, and only one person was sacrificed in the 5th Company.
html In mid-August, under the command of battalion commander Chu Hanyuan , the 1st Battalion of the 8th Regiment attacked a Japanese and puppet army that was coming out to sweep away at night in Dabaishui Village. In this battle, 2 Japanese troops and 10 puppet troops were killed; 1 Japanese troops and 24 puppet troops were captured, and a light machine gun, 3 puppet guns, 3 pistols, 30 rifles were seized, and only 2 casualties were killed or killed in the first battalion.
In just one month, the 8th Regiment launched a continuous attack and won every battle, which seriously hit the enemy's arrogance and enhanced the confidence of the local people to win the war of resistance. Many young people signed up to participate in the Eighth Route Army.
html From September 4 to 23, three battalions of the 8th Regiment launched an attack on Tongpu Road at the same time. The 1st and 2nd Battalions killed 65 enemies at Xinkou Station, seized 20 guns, and more than 10,000 bullets; the 3rd Battalion killed 36 enemies at Qicun , seized 11 guns, and more than 1,000 bullets.
It is particularly worth mentioning that after occupying Xuangang coal mine, the 8th Regiment rescued a group of Chiang army prisoners of war captured by the Japanese army. After these prisoners of war were rescued, they all said that the Eighth Route Army gave them a second life, and they demanded to join the Eighth Route Army to attack the Japanese army and take revenge.
8 Regiment selected more than 200 young and strong soldiers from them to supplement them to each company. In addition to the local youth who joined the army before, the 8th Regiment's strength suddenly increased to more than 2,100 people.
Founding Lieutenant General Yu Qiuli
8th Regiment entered the Guancen Mountain area in May until the end of December. By the end of December, he fought with the Japanese army 29 times, killed and injured 594 enemies, captured 62 enemies, and seized a large amount of military supplies.
The once arrogant Japanese army never dared to dispatch small troops to sweep the storm again, and the general public was proud. The 8th Regiment not only gained a firm foothold in the Guancen Mountain area, but also gradually expanded its scope of activities, and the construction of the base area has also flourished.
