The Japanese army was very rampant, and the officers and soldiers were deeply poisoned by the Nazis. Most of them were very stubborn and believed that sacrificing their lives for Tian Huang was a supreme honor.
There is another important reason, which is determined by the domestic social environment. If Japanese officers and soldiers surrender on the battlefield, their families will also be discriminated against by the local government and people. Therefore, Japanese officers and soldiers would rather die than surrender.
The members of the notorious Japanese kamikaze team were ordinary workers, farmers and students. Many of them had not graduated from high school and were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They knew that the so-called special attack meant to die, but they
Still fearless, and even regretful that the mission was temporarily cancelled.
There is an extreme example. In order to allow her husband to fight with peace of mind, a Japanese woman chose to commit suicide. She also left a suicide note to her husband, telling him that she was dead and asking him not to worry about it and to devote herself to opening up borders for the country.
Expanding soil.
The Japanese in this era have been almost completely brainwashed by the Japanese *** and are simply a bunch of lunatics.
Therefore, they performed very bravely on the battlefield and had a highly conscious fighting spirit. This is also one of the main reasons for the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
On the battlefield, the organic Japanese troops were surrounded countless times. Even when they ran out of ammunition and food, they still fought tenaciously and either died in battle or broke out of the encirclement. There was almost no surrender of the organic Japanese troops.
When Cui Zhenyue first started shouting, the Japanese troops also temporarily stopped shooting, wanting to hear what Cui Zhenyue was shouting.
When the Japanese soldiers heard that they were trying to persuade him to surrender, many people became angry and shot Cui Zhenyue one after another.
The tank was designed very reasonably. When Cui Zhenyue came out, the cover of the tank was upright, like a shield in front of his body. The bullets hit the cover and made a clanging sound, and even the tin horn in his hand
He was hit by a bullet, and the powerful impact almost caused him to throw away the speaker.
Seeing this situation, Cui Zhenyue had no choice but to get back into the tank.
Chu Yunfei originally didn't agree with Xu Dalong's opinion. Seeing this situation, he said angrily: "Brother Dalong, these little devils will not surrender. Don't waste your energy with them. Just kill them.
"
Fang Ligong and others also agreed with Chu Yunfei's opinion and demanded an attack on the Japanese army.
Although Wang Chengzhu, Wei Monk and the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan guerrillas were angry at the Japanese army's stubborn resistance, they trusted their captain, so no one said anything.
Xu Dalong was not surprised by this performance of the Japanese army. He said patiently: "Sir Chu, brothers! What you said makes sense. It is indeed not easy to get these little devils to surrender. However, we can try again.
Try, the little devils can’t escape anyway, it’s like a cat and mouse game, you might as well play with them for a while.”
Chu Yunfei still respected Xu Dalong very much. He also believed that the Japanese army could not escape, so he gave Xu Dalong face and did not continue to insist on his opinion.
Xu Dalong discussed with Chu Yunfei that they would besiege the Japanese army for a long time and wait until they ran out of ammunition and food. Even if they refused to surrender, it would be easier to eliminate them.
Chu Yunfei had no objection, so he ordered his officers and soldiers to start digging fortifications to prepare for the Japanese army to break out.
While Xu Dalong ordered the guerrillas to dig fortifications, he also sent a telegram to notify the county brigade to come for reinforcements.
They dug several trenches around the Japanese army and tightly surrounded the Japanese army inside.
The captain of the Japanese army saw the intention of the anti-Japanese armed forces, but they did not organize a breakout because he knew very well that the enemy's troops and firepower had a huge advantage, and a breakout during the day was impossible. He decided to organize the troops at night
Breakout.
Wang Xiaohu is now the chief steward in charge of logistics for the Mawushan guerrillas. Xu Dalong asked him to handle a few things. After Wang Xiaohu accepted the order, he went down to make arrangements.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Xiaohu's transport convoy came over and unloaded the daily necessities from the vehicle. Not long after, the smell of stew wafted to the positions of the guerrillas and the 358th Brigade officers and soldiers.
Soon after, the officers and soldiers started to eat. The meal was very rich, with several dishes, a bowl of meat for each person, and steaming white flour steamed buns.
The officers and soldiers had a great time eating like a banquet, but it was a pity that they were not allowed to drink.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were in a hurry when they withdrew from Yinping County. They originally thought they could escape to Ping'an County today, so they did not bring food, cooking utensils, and of course any dry food. They ran out in the morning and marched all the way.
In addition, the fierce battle consumed a lot of energy, and their stomachs had begun to grow. The smell of food coming from the anti-Japanese armed positions made their stomachs growl even more.
However, the Japanese army had a high degree of organizational discipline and maintained relatively strong morale at this time, so no one complained.
After dinner, seven or eight loudspeakers were set up on the positions of the guerrillas and the 358th Brigade, aiming at the Japanese troops in the encirclement from all sides.
Wang Xiaohu collected these loudspeaker equipment from Yinping County in accordance with Xu Dalong's instructions. Soon after, these loudspeakers started broadcasting.
Someone shouted in Japanese: "Japanese officers and soldiers, you have been surrounded and can't run. Surrender quickly. If you don't surrender, you will only die. You all have parents, wives and children, and they all miss you. You can only live if you don't surrender."
Only when you go back can you see them. Don't die in vain for the Japanese ***. Surrender quickly, surrender!
Japanese officers and soldiers, are you hungry? We have prepared wine and meat, white flour steamed buns, and rice. As long as you surrender, you can eat hot and fragrant meals. Surrender quickly."
The contents of these slogans were taught to them by Xu Dalong. He did not expect these words to impress the Japanese officers and soldiers now. The first thing to do was to make the Japanese officers and soldiers agitated, not allowing them to rest, and wearing down their will.
The Japanese army was very angry. At first, they used artillery to bombard them.
The guerrillas and the artillery of the 358th Brigade also fought back. They had much more artillery than the Japanese army. As long as the Japanese army fired one artillery shell, ten more would fly over.
The Japanese army was surrounded in a small area with no natural barriers, and the fortifications they hurriedly dug could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire. The result of the shelling was that the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, and even their artillery was almost completely destroyed.
After several repeated attempts, the Japanese soldiers learned their lesson and no longer took the initiative to provoke.
The anti-Japanese armed forces also obeyed the rules. As long as the Japanese army did not fire artillery, they would automatically stop shelling.
The battlefield fell silent, with only the loudspeakers repeating boring content.
There were many guerrillas who could speak Japanese, so they took turns to broadcast, each broadcasting for ten minutes. They were all annoyed by such simple, repetitive, and boring things. You can imagine how the Japanese soldiers felt.
As night fell, the Japanese commander summoned officers above the battalion commander to discuss a night breakout.
He said: "Everyone, the situation is very serious. I have requested the division commander to send reinforcements, but you all know the situation of our division. The division commander has no reinforcements to send, so we can only rely on ourselves for everything.
We carry no baggage, our ammunition has been almost exhausted, and we have no food. If we remain trapped here, we will only die. The only way now is to break out of the siege resolutely and bravely.
I ask you to go back and tell the soldiers about the difficult situation the regiment has encountered, so that they can give up the illusion of waiting for rescue and fight their way out of the siege. This is the only way to survive."
At this time, the officers still maintained their tenacious will to fight. They understood the difficulty of the situation, so they were very resolute, expressing their obedience to the commander's order and leading the troops to fight to the death.
The captains returned to their respective units. They conveyed the orders of the commanders and mobilized the officers and soldiers to fight to the death and break out of the encirclement.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were dizzy and angry by the dull broadcasts from the enemy's position. At this time, they still maintained a strong will to fight.
After the mobilization of the officers, they were all in high spirits and ready to break out.
Needless to say, experienced generals like Xu Dalong and Chu Yunfei, even ordinary officers and soldiers knew that the Japanese army must break through tonight. Half of the soldiers were sleeping, and the other half were guarding the position, ready to retreat at any time.
enemy attack.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, the captain of the Japanese army looked at the sky. A bright moon hung in the sky, and its bright moonlight spread over the fields. The visibility was very high tonight, and the actions of the Japanese army were easily discovered by the anti-Japanese armed forces, but they had no other choice.
choose.
The commander of the regiment looked at his watch. When the appointed time came, he ordered a Japanese battalion captain to lead two squadrons of Japanese troops to launch a charge towards the guerrilla positions in the direction of Ping'an County.
The battle started quickly, and the two sides fought fiercely.
There were a large number of light and heavy machine guns on the guerrillas' positions, and they fired fiercely at the Japanese troops. The rifles in the hands of other officers and soldiers were shooting non-stop. They were outnumbered, and bullets poured down on the Japanese troops like a heavy rain.
A large number of tanks and armored vehicles stayed at the front of the position. They were like moving bunkers, violently spitting tongues of fire at the Japanese troops with their machine guns.
The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties and could not charge forward at all, but the Japanese army was already trying their best. Some bent down and continued to charge, while others crawled on the ground and continued to attack the guerrilla positions.
This is not the main direction for the Japanese army to break out. The Japanese commander judged that the enemy would think that they would break through directly towards Ping'an County, so there would be no heavy troops on this side. The commander sent these Japanese troops to conduct a feint attack, and he led the main force to the northwest
Directional breakthrough.
During the day, the commander of the regiment had already seen the Jinsui Army's position in the northwest. In his mind, the Mawushan guerrillas were really powerful. In comparison, the Jinsui Army was a soft persimmon.
He hoped to break out of the Jinsui Army's position.
What Chu Yunfei is best at is formal offensive and defensive operations. He is very good at positional warfare.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade were also good at positional warfare. When they saw the Japanese army rushing over, they fired fiercely at the Japanese army. The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fell to the ground one by one.
However, the Japanese army was already desperate. Everyone knew that this was their only chance. If they could not break out, the only thing waiting for them would be the complete destruction of the entire army.
The Japanese officers and soldiers, with their sharp bayonets pointed out, howling and firing, rushed towards the Jinsui Army's position desperately.
The equipment of the 358th Brigade is still very good. Each platoon has a light machine gun, and the firepower density is quite high, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
However, there were too many Japanese troops and their attack speed was very fast. Soon they reached the front line of the position.
The Japanese troops rushing in front threw grenades at the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army. The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army could not resist and were forced to abandon the first trench.
When Chu Yunfei saw that the Japanese army had captured the first trench, he did not feel depressed at all, but instead laughed.
When the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army saw the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army escaping, their morale was boosted. They jumped into the trenches one after another, preparing to use the trenches to suppress the vitality of the Jinsui Army, and then launch an attack on the second trench.
When the Japanese officers and soldiers jumped into the trench, everyone was dumbfounded.
They found that these enemy troops were so wicked that the trenches were dug so deep, a full two meters. They were not very tall, and they could not see the situation on the other side from inside the trenches.
They were all very puzzled as to why those Jin-Sui troops were able to shoot at them from the trenches just now.
In the second trench, the Jinsui officers and soldiers were lying on the trench, using firepower to attack the Japanese troops who had not jumped into the previous trench.
They were able to use the trenches because there was a small wooden bench under their feet.
This move was taught to Chu Yunfei by his German instructor. The Japanese army did not know the details and suffered a big loss immediately.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade used firepower to suppress the following Japanese troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops jumped into the trenches and were unable to shoot for a short time, they launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops.
They rushed to the trench and threw grenades into the trench.
At this time, there were too many Japanese officers and soldiers entering the trenches. The grenades fell into such a small space as the trenches, and the power of the explosion increased a lot. The Japanese officers and soldiers were blown to pieces.
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army quickly rushed to the trenches, condescendingly destroyed the Japanese troops in the trenches, and quickly retook the first trench.
When the Japanese army captured the first trench, the Japanese commander was very happy, but the changes that followed left him stunned.
Seeing that the casualties of the troops were too serious, he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.
The Japanese army's breakout operation failed. The Japanese commander knew that now that the anti-Japanese armed forces were well prepared, it was no longer possible to carry out sneak attacks. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to break through the encirclement.
He could only order his troops to go on the defensive to prevent the enemy from launching an attack.
