Woman in Berlin 1939 Chen Guang's bright sword defeated the young and strong Japanese royal elite.

This battle not only killed the "well-trained" young "elite" of the Japanese royal family on the battlefield in China, but also created the first "model annihilation war" in the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in which the Eighth Route Army wiped out the Japanese formed troops with the same strength and inferior equipment, which greatly shocked Japanese domestic and Japanese senior officials at that time and staged a brilliant battle in which our army "showed its sword" in the face of strong enemies.

This article originally contained "An Introduction to Party History". At the beginning of 1939, a main force of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division, led by acting teacher Chen Guang and political commissar Luo Ronghuan, advanced into eastern Shandong, bravely "flashed a sword" at the Japanese army that ravaged Qilu, crushed the Japanese puppet troops, and laid siege for many times, which quickly opened up the situation in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In August of the same year, 1 15 division wiped out the well-equipped Japanese "ace" brigade in Liangshan, Luxi, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. This battle not only killed the "well-trained" young "elite" of the Japanese royal family on the battlefield in China, but also created the first "model annihilation war" in the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in which the Eighth Route Army wiped out the Japanese formed troops with the same strength and inferior equipment, which greatly shocked Japanese domestic and Japanese senior officials at that time and staged a brilliant battle in which our army "showed its sword" in the face of strong enemies.

1937 after the outbreak of the all-out war of aggression against China, Japanese imperialism occupied vast territories in North China, Central China and South China in a short time with its well-equipped and well-trained fascist troops. The powerful war machine made half of China fall into the hands of the invading army. In the face of powerful enemies, the Kuomintang government forces fought many battles and sacrificed many officers and men because of the one-sided anti-Japanese war line, lack of broad support from the people, backward equipment and training, corruption and incompetence at the upper level. However, they still lost their land and collapsed thousands of miles. Many Kuomintang troops, lacking the will to fight, fled without even seeing the shadow of the Japanese army, a group of "long-legged generals" who grieved the people of China. In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it became the operational policy of the Japanese army to use a battalion against a division of the Kuomintang government. However, this rule was completely broken by the Liangshan annihilation war commanded by the famous Eighth Route Army soldier Chen Guang. Chen Guang, formerly known as Chen Shichun, 1905, was born in a poor peasant family in Li Yuanbao, Yizhang County, Hunan Province. He studied in a private school for three years. 1926, the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Hunan, and Chen Guang became a member of the Peasant Association, and joined the China * * * Production Party at the end of the following year. 1928 1, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the rest of Nanchang Uprising to Yizhang. Chen Guang set up the Peasant Red Guards, cooperated with the Southern Hunan Uprising Army to hold an uprising, went to Jinggangshan with the troops, and was incorporated into the 29th Regiment of the Third Independent Division of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army as the company commander. 1February, 930, in the first counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression" in the Central Soviet Area, the main force of the Red Fourth Front Army wiped out a brigade of the enemy vanguard troops in Futian area. During the battle, the Lin Biao command post was surrounded by the enemy, and Chen Guang, then vice captain of the detachment, led his troops to break through and rescue Lin Biao safely. In June of the same year, Chen Guang was wounded for the third time in the battle of Wen Jia. The bullet went through his right knee and got stuck in the bone seam, bleeding profusely. When the soldiers carried him on the stretcher, he struggled to get off the stretcher and climbed back to the position where he commanded the battle until the enemy was defeated. Soon, Chen Guang was bravely promoted to the head of the 30th regiment of the Gongsijun 10 Division. In the second and third counter-campaigns against "encirclement and suppression", Chen Guang was promoted to the position of Chief of Staff of the Red Ten Division, and was awarded the Second Class Red Star Medal by the Soviet Government of China for his outstanding combat mission. 1In August, 933, Chiang Kai-shek launched the fifth "encirclement and suppression" against the Central Soviet Area, and Chen Guang became the famous "International Youth Production Department" because of his good military and political quality. In the first battle, he destroyed more than 500 enemies and seized a lot of guns and ammunition. During the Long March of the Red Army, Chen Guang was transferred to the Second Division of the Red Army as the division commander, responsible for covering the column of the Military Commission and the follow-up troops. He led his troops across the Wujiang natural barrier, occupied Zunyi, and seized Loushanguan, with outstanding military achievements. On the Dadu River, Chen Guang led the Red Fourth Army Corps to run 120 kilometers a day, creating a miracle of flying over the Luding Bridge and opening the way for the Red Army to go north, thus getting rid of the danger of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. When Lazio stood in the way of the Red Army again, Chen Guang and Yang Chengwu, political commissar of Gongsi Corps, fought fiercely all night and ordered the troops to quickly overcome this danger. After the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi, Chen Guang became the division commander of the Fourth Division of the Red Army. In the battle of Zhiluo Town, he led the main force to annihilate the enemy's main force 109 Division and captured more than 5,000 people. After the Xi Incident, Chen Guang became the acting head of the Red Army. After the full-scale outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chen Guang served as the brigade commander of the 343rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division. 1September, 937, Chen Guang led his troops to participate in the Pingxingguan campaign.

At the beginning of 1939, in order to support the anti-Japanese struggle of Shandong people, according to the instructions of the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division and the 343rd Brigade, led by acting division commander Chen Guang and political commissar Luo Ronghuan, quickly advanced into Shandong and moved to the Luxi Plain. With the support of Shandong anti-Japanese armed forces and people, it quickly gained a firm foothold and established and expanded the anti-Japanese base areas. In March of the same year, Chen Guang directed Yong Yang and his party to attack the Japanese puppet troops in Yuncheng area, uprooted Fanba, an important stronghold of the puppet troops, killed dozens of Japanese military instructors and wiped out the main force of the puppet troops. Later, he commanded troops to seize enemy and puppet strongholds along the Lianke Canal, which dealt a heavy blow to the local Japanese and puppet troops and established the prestige of the Eighth Route Army. In May, he led the main force to continue eastward, stopped the Japanese army in the middle section of the Jin-Pu Railway, smashed the 9-way siege of 5,000 people initiated by the enemy commander Zang in Shandong, and injured more than 300 people/kloc-0, which quickly created a new situation in the anti-Japanese struggle in western Shandong.

The Japanese army arrogantly said that the royal family Shaozuo risked "mopping up" the Eighth Route Army, which shocked the Japanese army in Shandong. They didn't expect to meet a stronger opponent after quickly defeating the Kuomintang army. Although the Japanese intelligence department got the news that the Eighth Route Army 1 15 Division had entered Shandong ahead of schedule through "hard work", its intelligence experts and senior officials of the operational headquarters specially issued the instruction manual of "1 15 Division Operational Research" to the troops after "hard work". In fact, the strategy and tactics of the Eighth Route Army are still two monks, and Chen Bai. 1June, 939, in order to consolidate the occupied area and "wipe out the * * * production party troops who dared to fight against the imperial army", the 32nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinpu Road decided to launch a "sweeping" campaign against the Eighth Route Army. At the end of July, the division transferred a field infantry brigade from the Japanese army to undertake the task of "mopping up". In order to increase the "winning" chips, the Japanese army also specially strengthened some cavalry and artillery, and formed infantry, artillery and cavalry regiment. They stormed the Luxi Plain in an attempt to "mop up" our 1 15 division or "expel Shandong" in one fell swoop to "ensure full occupation". The commander of the Japanese invasion of China, Nagata Minjiang, was born in the Japanese royal family, so he was highly valued by senior Japanese officials and was the "key training object" for Japanese officers. Before coming to China, the Japanese Emperor specially summoned him to encourage him to "take a good exercise" on the battlefield in China. In order to eliminate the new "* * * Party Army" and "show up" and "make meritorious service" among the royal family, Nagata Minjiang volunteered to lead a team to carry out the sweeping. Since the war of aggression against China, Shao Zuo, a young royal family, has hardly encountered decent resistance from the Kuomintang army. On one occasion, he led a brigade to defeat the defense line of a division of the Kuomintang army and easily occupied several counties, so this time he didn't pay attention to his new opponent, the Eighth Route Army. In order to show off "imperial power", Tian Chang Minjiang turned this "sweeping" into an "armed parade". After leaving the station, he marched in front with cavalry and puppet troops every day, with the infantry brigade in the middle and dozens of mules and horses pulling the Italian field guns up from behind. He didn't even send a sentry, so he came directly to my Luxi base. At this time, the main force of the 1 15 division headed by Chen Guang has opened up new areas in central Shandong and southern Shandong, while in western Shandong, there are only two companies of the division's special agent battalion and the third battalion of the 686th regiment, with a total strength of less than 600 people. On the morning of August 1, Chen Guang and Luo Ronghuan held a military-civilian get-together to celebrate August 1st. Suddenly, my cavalry inspector sent an urgent message: the Japanese army Shao Zuo and Chang Jiang led the reinforcement brigade of more than 600 Japanese troops and some puppet troops in Wenshang County to launch a "sweeping" campaign against our Liangshan base area. In the face of powerful enemies, the total strength of Chen Guang's organized combat troops is roughly equal to that of the Japanese aggressors, but the equipment is far behind that of the Japanese army. At the emergency action meeting, some people were worried about whether they could fight the war. Some people even think that the army broke through and killed more than 300 people. Most of them are the backbone of the Red Army after the Long March. If they suffer losses again, they will not be able to explain to the central government. However, after careful analysis and research, Chen Guang believes that he can make up his mind to destroy this arrogant and aggressive Japanese army with the existing forces. He analyzed the enemy's situation to the participants: although the invading enemy was well-equipped and well-trained, the commander was arrogant, despised the enemy and went deep into the enemy's rear alone; Although our army has the same number of weapons as the enemy, it is the battle-hardened backbone of the Red Army. The terrain and people are good for me. "The soldiers will stop and the water will flow into the soil. Since this little devil has come all the way to "mop up" our base areas, we can't let him go.

To this end, Luo Ronghuan immediately mobilized the officers and men of the whole army, organized non-combatants to mobilize the masses to move quickly to the peripheral areas. Chen Guangze immediately worked out an annihilation plan with the commanders and fighters: under the cover of the "green tent" above the people's heads, he harassed the tired enemy with a small number of troops, and the division's spy battalion, the 686th regiment 10 company and the 12 company set up large pocket arrays around Qian Ji and Dushan village in the south of Liangshan, waiting for the Japanese army to "demonstrate" and annihilate them.

Design the enemy as an urn. Liangshan slaughtered the "elite". On the morning of August 2, Tian Chang and Minjiang led a huge team to advance to Liangshan area. In order to "demonstrate" to the Eighth Route Army and show the power of the "invincible Japanese imperial army", he ordered to set up wild guns a few miles away from the Eighth Route Army base and bombard them indiscriminately. The Second Company of the Eighth Route Army Secret Service Battalion, which was in charge of welcoming guests, quickly dodged and hid in the sorghum fields on both sides. After the Japanese passed by, they secretly followed up. In order to lead the Japanese army into the predetermined encirclement and suppression area, the reconnaissance platoon leader of the Eighth Route Army spy battalion, full of "performance ability", dressed as "defending the president" and led several soldiers dressed as "obedient" to meet the Japanese army in advance. Holding tea and melons respectfully, we invited "Diligent" and "Imperial Army" to eat melons and drink tea, and enthusiastically "fooled" them into Qian Ji Village. After the Japanese entered the village, they were preparing to rest, only to find that there were no villagers here. The smiling "good guy" just now suddenly disappeared. I thought it was a little strange that dragons were better than people, so I quickly ordered someone to ask the "maintenance president". However, the Japanese army walked around the village several times, but never saw a "survivor". Just as Nagata Minjiang and several Japanese officers were "discussing" in the chaos, the First and Second Company of the Eighth Route Army Special Service Battalion were carrying out the harassment mission and suddenly attacked the Japanese army from north to south. Before the Japanese army could figure out what had happened, it was muddleheaded to reimburse a squadron leader and a dozen soldiers. Tian Minqiang is very angry. He kept cursing "Bagoyalu". Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's firepower was not fierce, it quickly disappeared into the green tent after the battle. The company commander of the puppet army accompanying Tian Changmin River immediately reported to Tian Changmin River: "This was done by small guerrillas." . Therefore, Nagata Minjiang immediately ordered the artillery to fire and bomb in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's evacuation and let it out. After eating this loss, "Chang Tianjun" never dared to be careless again, and sent cavalry and puppet troops to search and cover the follow-up of the whole brigade. In the case that the Japanese army didn't "discover the enemy's situation" most of the time, Yongtian Minjiang brought the troops safely to the foot of the mountain in the southwest of Liangshan. Unexpectedly, the first, second and third cavalry companies of the Eighth Route Army Special Service Battalion, which had been waiting here, launched a second round of surprise attack on the Japanese army according to the operational plan, and caught the Japanese army off guard, causing dozens of casualties. Yongming Minjiang River was knocked unconscious. He really doesn't know where his opponent is. What kind of "new tactics" have been adopted? This is an opponent and style he has never met since he invaded China. He listened to the hiss of the bullet, but his opponent disappeared. So Chang Tianjun suddenly became angry. He flustered and frustratedly ordered the artillery to fire around Liangshan and ordered the Japanese infantry brigade to quickly occupy Dushan Village in front of him and the Rocky Mountains outside the village. Soon, the Japanese army "occupied" Dushan Village and Luanshigang. Chen happened to see that the Japanese army had entered the predetermined encirclement and suppression area and the frontline task had been completed, so he ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle quickly. After the Japanese army occupied Dushan Village and Luanshigang, it immediately conducted a long-term fire reconnaissance around it, and found no movement of the Eighth Route Army. Then, Nagata Minjiang sent a search team to "cast a net" everywhere, but not only did he not find the whereabouts of our army, but even the "missing" people in the village did not. At this time, it was getting dark, and Chang Tianjiang saw that the night around Liangshan was calm. He believes that the "heroic battle of the imperial army" completely defeated the Eighth Route Army that harassed during the day. Strong artillery bombardment forced them to flee to the mountains, and now they are safe and sound. So, he rebuked the puppet troops who were "ineffective in fighting" during the day and ordered them to stay on the Rocky Mountain outside the village. All the Japanese troops who were "struggling" moved to Dushan Village to rest, so that they could "continue to suppress" the next day. After a day of chaotic fighting, the Japanese army was defeated and soon relaxed its vigilance. some people

First, the cavalry company of the Eighth Route Army rushed into the village from the northwest corner. After a sabre war, all the Japanese guard troops were "compensated". Then, the Eighth Route Army Special Service Battalion and the 686th Regiment 12 Company also came from all directions and beat up the unprepared Japanese army. Many naked Japanese soldiers were sent back to the "Oriental Hometown" by the Eighth Route Army's swords, guns and grenades before they picked up their guns. For a time, the whole Dushan village was shaken by gunfire, shouts and Grenade explosions. Under the sudden attack of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army fell into chaos. Jiang got up in a hurry in the village, causing the sergeant to shoot at random. At the same time, before a company's puppet troops could make any response, they were surrounded by ten companies of the 686th regiment and were in a state of "no killing". China people don't beat China people. "They surrendered without resistance. A little shocked, Nagata Minjiang ordered the Japanese to fight on the spot and organized troops to try to recapture the rocky mountain outside the village. Under the cover of Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers, the troops of the two squadrons charged the Luanshigang position of the 10th Company of the Eighth Route Army six times in a row, all of which were countered and hand-to-hand combat by grenades of the Eighth Route Army. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. When the Japanese launched the seventh attack, there were only 30 people left in the Eighth Route Army position. At the critical moment, a team of Japanese troops suddenly appeared and the Japanese army was defeated. It turned out that the 686th Regiment 1 1 Company took part in the war in the form of an urgent March when performing a task dozens of miles away from the Eighth Route Army. The company attacked the Japanese army with unexpected cluster grenades, and the roaring grenades fell on the Japanese army full of deaths. The brief explosion was deafening, and the flying shrapnel made the panicked Japanese army howl and scream. Under the attack of the Eighth Route Army, the seventh Japanese charge failed again. Later, 10 Company and 1 1 Company joined forces to put pressure on the Japanese troops in the village. After several battles, the Eighth Route Army wiped out the peripheral enemies and won three Japanese field guns in one fell swoop. After several hours of fighting, more than half of the Japanese soldiers were killed or injured. The arrogant Nagata Minjiang realized that he had met an unprecedented powerful opponent. So, while sending a telegram for help to the 23rd Division of Jinan, he concentrated all his forces, and under the cover of more than 20 heavy machine guns and a dozen grenade launchers, he continuously charged the village where the Eighth Route Army was located in an attempt to highlight the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. Maxim's heavy machine guns captured by the Eighth Route Army during the Long March suppressed the Japanese firepower at a high rate of 600 rounds per minute, beating the frantic Japanese army to pieces. In order to make up for the shortage of rapid fire, the Eighth Route Army also organized more than a dozen rifles to "fire" and set fire, quickly repelling the Japanese troops who desperately rushed out of the village. In desperation, Nagata Minjiang ordered the well-trained Japanese army to be divided into dozens of battle groups, and launched a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army in an attempt to adopt the tactics of flowering deus ex in all directions, while the Eighth Route Army immediately divided and surrounded it. Although Japanese officers and men have a "bushido spirit" that is not afraid of death, their opponents are more tenacious and battle-hardened Red Army soldiers. After several rounds, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties and almost all the officers died.

The leader of the enemy died, and Tian Minqiang, the commander of the "Luo Chen" war, felt that the end was coming, so he called all the remaining officers and men who could breathe, seized several old lime kilns and two carriage shops, and fought to the death in stony mountain. At this time, the people transferred by the Eighth Route Army heard that the Eighth Route Army was hurting the Japanese army and rushed back to help the Eighth Route Army catch prisoners and transport the wounded. With the support of the masses, the Eighth Route Army launched a final attack on the remnants of the Japanese army. After fierce fire attack and fierce hand-to-hand combat, the stubborn enemy who occupied the lime kiln and carriage shop as a trapped beast was finally eliminated. At this time, the resistance will of Japanese soldiers' "Bushido Spirit" has completely collapsed. Seven Japanese soldiers hiding in the lime kiln, after being defeated by the enemy cadres of the Eighth Route Army, climbed out of the cave and surrendered to their "terrible opponents". Several Japanese soldiers who escaped from the village were also chased by the Eighth Route Army cavalry. They were caught alive like eagles catching chickens. Tian Minjiang knew that this defeat completely humiliated the Japanese royal family. I can't see his Japanese "Jiangdong Elders" when I go back. He couldn't lift his head in front of a group of militant colleagues, so he cut his stomach before he fell down and committed suicide. When the sky in the east was a fish-belly grey, the battle was over, and all the elite Japanese field brigades that came to "mop up" were wiped out except for 24 prisoners. In this battle, the Eighth Route Army seized a Japanese infantry gun, two Italian field guns, three radio stations, more than 20 heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles. When the Eighth Route Army was cleaning the battlefield, it found the body of a Japanese officer in a white shirt in a depression outside the old lime kiln. A saber pierced his chest and his body lay in a pool of dirty blood. He opened his eyes wide and didn't want to fail. Beside him, the badge of a more elegant woolen uniform reads "Tian Shaoshao, 32nd division commander Tian Minjiang, Uncle Zuo". The fall of Nagata Brigade and the death of Nagata Minjiang River dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. After the war, the Japanese kept the identities of the Battle of Yongtian and the Battle of Minjiang secret, but held several "review meetings" successively. Heitaro Kimura, the commander of the 32nd Division, was punished, and many officers were held accountable one by one. From then on, the Japanese army had to "look at the Eighth Route Army differently". The North China Army also specially organized the intelligence department to compile the booklet "Chen Guangbu's Operational Research" and distributed it to the Japanese army headquarters in Shandong and other places to guide them to fight against the Eighth Route Army, which showed the shocking power of this war. 1On August 7th and 8th, 939, Zhu De, Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army, and Peng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief jointly sent two recorded telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the National Government and Chairman of the Central Military Commission: "The enemy of Luxi has been swept away and crushed this month." After that, Tianchang Pass was completely annihilated again. "Chiang Kai-shek, who suffered repeated defeats in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, created an excellent example of the Eighth Route Army Japanese Army's reorganization and strengthening brigade with the same inferior equipment and troops, and was praised by the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the National Government as a' model of annihilation'. After the victory of this war, the fame of Chen Guang and Luo Ronghuan soon spread all over Shandong, and the military and civilians called 1 15 as "Luo Chen". Since then, "Luo Chen" cooperated closely with Shandong local party organizations, quickly established and expanded anti-Japanese base areas in various places, smashed numerous Japanese "mopping-ups" and won a series of famous battles such as Jiazishan and Tancheng. At the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the number of troops had grown to more than 65,438+10,000, and less than one brigade had entered Shandong. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Guang went to Northeast China and served as commander of the Sixth Column of the Northeast Democratic Allied Forces, commander of the Harbin Military Region, deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Field Army, deputy chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, and deputy commander of the Guangdong Military Region.
