A representative figure of mine warfare

Zhaotuan, Wenshan Hou and Tanxiao Village are suitable for guerrilla warfare, and these three villages are also the most active in mine warfare. The enemy tried to "mop up" the mainland several times, but they all grabbed the throat and played in a panic. Therefore, these three villages were praised as "special explosion villages" by Jiaodong Military Region. At that time, the most famous were Zhao Tonglun and Zhao Shoufu of Zhao Tuan, Yu Huahu and Li Shuzi after Wenshan, and Sun Yumin of Tan Xiaocun. Although Sun Yumin is a girl of 15 years old, she is a member of the enemy. She went to a village five or six miles away to send information, and went into the wolf's den alone to disintegrate her traitor uncle Zhang Xianbin. She has taught more than 40 women to bury and make mines. They buried some stones, copper coins, broken iron and other things in the mine, which doubled the lethality of the mine. Zhao Tuanmin made aerial booby traps to bomb enemy commanders and cavalry. This not only dealt a blow to the "snakehead", but also played a certain role in disintegrating the puppet troops. At that time, the whole mountain area of the basin became the place where the broad masses of militia carried out sparrow warfare and mine warfare. Every time the enemy goes out, it is defeated with a large number of casualties.

Haiyang mine warfare has played a great role in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Haiyang militia used flexible mine warfare to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, and skillfully fought against the Japanese invaders, making it impossible for the Japanese to prevent. Haiyang militia became famous and played a huge role in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which became an important guarantee for winning the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/943, for more than 300 days, the puppet troops went to Dongcun, north of Zhaotuan Village, to grab grain. After hearing the news, Zhao Tuan's militia ambushed on the nearby Zhangzishan and laid a minefield on the road. When the enemy was far away from Zhao Tuan's Ersanli, he suddenly turned west. At this time, Zhao Tonglun, the captain of the militia ambushing on the mountain, decisively ordered that "sparrows shoot, soil gunners light up and bring the enemy here!" Suddenly, the gun went off and everyone shouted to kill. The Japanese puppet troops immediately pounced on the militia. The militiamen turned warily to the minefield and continued to shoot snipers. The enemy pounced on the militia again and just fell into the minefield laid by the militia, killing and injuring 15 people.

Mine War in Haiyang, Shandong Province: The militia has a sharp weapon against sweeping.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the mine warfare in Haiyang County of our province was famous all over the country. In the eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Haiyang militia fought more than 2,000 times, killed or injured more than 500 enemy prisoners/kloc-0, seized more than 600 pieces of various weapons, and emerged more than 500 hero models at or above the county level, among which Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu and Sun Yumin were awarded the honorary title of "National Militia Heroes".

1In February, 940, the Japanese army invaded Haiyang County, and soon occupied the coastal villages such as Hangcun, Dashansuo, Lugubu and Fengcheng, and established strongholds there. The Japanese puppet troops frantically pursued the policy of burning, killing and robbing the whole people, and the people of Haiyang were in dire straits. The Haiyang County Committee of Zhongyang actively mobilized the masses, established anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Qing Resistance Line and the Peasant Self-Defense Force, and cooperated with the main force and local armed forces to crack down on the enemy.

1943 autumn, Zhao tonglun, head of the Zhao Tuan militia, brought two mines from the district armed Committee. Together with Zhao Shoufu and other militiamen, he developed several methods of burying mines, such as pulling wires and tripping wires. 10 One day in early June, more than 200 Japanese puppet troops came out to grab grain and returned to their stronghold from Zhaotuan West Street. Zhao Tonglun led Zhao Shoufu and others to bury two tripping mines on the road in advance, killing 13 enemy at once. The militiamen were overjoyed and hoped that their superiors would send more mines. However, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal were very poor at that time, and the mine output was far from meeting the needs. Zhao Shoufu pondered day and night. According to the principle of shooting stones and hitting stones, they quickly developed a "stone mine". After the test explosion, the effect is good. So, they made all kinds of thunder, trip thunder and roll thunder with local materials and stones all over the mountain.

At the same time, the militia in other villages also learned to attack the Japanese army with mines. Yu Huahu, from Houcun, Wenshan, once went to an independent camp to learn mine-laying technology, and soon taught other militia. One day in the autumn of the same year, they learned that the enemy in Hangcun had "mopped up" the river cliff, Zhaitou and Xiaoji, and planted two mines in Yehuling, the only place where the enemy returned to Hangcun. As soon as the enemy came back from the hut, he stepped on the mine and four or five Japanese troops flew into the sky. The enemy officer ordered the soldiers to carry the body under Zhao Tuan's door. Just turning to the front hillside, another mine rang, killing three more enemies. The rest of the enemy fled back to their stronghold and dared not come out for more than a month.

The successful practice of early mine warfare greatly stimulated the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the county militia. At first, mine warfare was only conducted in Xiaoji, Hangcun, Dashan and other areas close to enemy strongholds. Later, it gradually spread to some village militia in Yushan, Longshan, Changshui, Gaojia, Xujiadian and other areas of the county, and successfully used mine warfare against "mopping up", which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors. Mine-laying technology and mine tactics have also been greatly improved and improved. The varieties of mines have developed from stepping on mine, stepping on mine and tripping over mine to clamping mine, plum blossom mine, sending mine, true and false mother mine, T-type mine, slogan mine and flying mine. The way of burying mines has also developed from pre-burying, blasting and then flying explosion, from single mine laying to large minefield laying. Zhao Tuan's militia made aerial booby traps, targeting enemy commanders and cavalry. Once they get the information of the enemy, the militiamen will make preparations in advance: intersections, hillsides, Woods, Hetao, Gua Tian, vegetable gardens, doorsteps, barrels, boxes ... There are mines everywhere, and the enemy will ring wherever he goes. Later, the enemy captured some ordinary people and forced them to move forward and open the way. The militiamen invented a "long vine mine" overnight, lengthened the detonating cord, and then quickly pulled the fire when the masses passed safely, so that the mine bloomed at the enemy's feet.

1in the summer of 944, the enemy transferred more than 300 Japanese troops from Qingdao in an attempt to cooperate with the enemy in Hangcun stronghold to counterattack me. Yu Huahu disguised himself as an enemy soldier, carrying four * * *100kg mines, and sneaked into the enemy's rear stronghold while it was dark. While the enemy was asleep, he skillfully and quickly planted four mines in the playground, then climbed over the fence, jumped over the ditch, cut the barbed wire and returned to the village. The next morning, the horn sounded in the stronghold. In a short time, four mines exploded one after another, killing 33 enemy soldiers, seriously injuring 4 people and slightly injuring many others.

1In May, 945, the Japanese army entrenched in Qingdao gathered more than 3,000 people to reoccupy the mountainous areas of the basin and repeatedly carried out "clearing" and "sweeping". Haiyang County Party Committee led the people of the county to concentrate their efforts to cooperate with the troops and actively carry out sparrow warfare and mine warfare against the enemy. On May 8, the enemy of Hangcun stronghold attacked Zhao Tuan. Zhao Tonglun and Zhao Shoufu obtained this information in advance, that is, led the militia to lay a minefield in the village. The enemy broke into the Woods in the north of the village and tripped; Instead, he rushed to the crossroads, sounded a "box thunder", and killed the Japanese puppet army 16 and killed 1 horse. In late May, Japanese puppet troops set up strongholds in Sunjiakuang Village and Kuangli Village, which posed a great threat to militia activities and public safety. The mountain combat command dispatched more than 20 experts from Ye Jia, Xiujia, Daigezhuang, Huaijiabo and other villages, led by Yu Dongshan, director of the District Armed Committee, who often touched the top of Huangshan Mountain at night, and the enemy bombed frequently, causing heavy casualties. In the 105 days when the people in the mountainous area of the basin launched an anti-mopping-up, Haiyang militia cooperated with the troops to lay more than 2,500 mines, killing and injuring more than 200 Japanese puppet troops.

Haiyang mine warfare strongly supported the anti-Japanese war in other areas of Jiaodong. Haiyang militia not only showed their talents in Haiyang, but also organized many expeditionary explosive teams under the orders of the superior military commission to cooperate with local troops in the surrounding counties, which trained a number of explosive experts for local militia and troops and effectively supported the anti-Japanese war in the relevant areas, thus promoting Shandong's anti-Japanese war and making outstanding contributions to Shandong's victory in the anti-Japanese war.

Li Yong, a militia in Fuping County, Hebei Province, made full use of the tactics of combining mine warfare with sparrow warfare, and led the militia to kill 364 Japanese puppet troops and blow up 25 cars, becoming a well-known "explosion king"
