Why did the Japanese devils "specialize in the 386th Brigade"

There is a scene in "Bright Sword" in which the slogan "Dedicated to the 386 Brigade" is posted on the tank where the Japanese came to Li Yunlong for a decisive battle. Is this a fact or a writer's fiction? In this regard, the author specially visited the elderly of the 386th Brigade, and also discussed with Chen Zhijian, the son of General Chen Geng, the brigade commander of the 386th Brigade. The conclusion is that not only our veterans say so, but also the Japanese, and even the descendants of the Japanese invaders have confirmed this.

So why did they become the team that the Japanese army wanted to fight?

Shortly after the Xi Incident, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army129th Division came to the anti-Japanese front. They ambushed twice in the same place in Qigen Village, Pingding County, Shanxi Province. At the cost of more than 50 casualties, * * * annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops, paid nearly 400 mules and horses and a large number of military supplies, creating this wonderful tactic of "overlapping and waiting for an ambush".

A few months later, the 386 brigade ambushed Shentouling with a lure the snake out of the hole. After two hours of gun battle and scuffle, the Japanese 1500 people were killed and more than 500 long and short guns were seized. Subsequently, a "pocket array" was laid in the hall, trapping more than 500 devils, killing more than 400 soldiers and seizing cars 180. In this campaign, Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and Peng, deputy commander-in-chief, invited senior Kuomintang generals to watch the battle, and all the Kuomintang generals were amazed. These three wars hurt the Japanese army and greatly increased the reputation of the Eighth Route Army.

1February, 939, the 386th Brigade once again assembled in Xiangcheng, Wei County, Hebei-Shandong-Henan Plain, and sent a small number of troops to attack important towns continuously to attract devils. On February 10, tanks and cars of a reinforcement squadron of the 40th United Front of the Japanese Army entered the ambush circle of the 386th Brigade one after another, and the 1st Battalion immediately opened fire, destroying the first car, killing the Japanese translator and injuring the squadron leader An Tian. An Tian knew that he had been cheated and immediately ordered to retreat. However, it is too late, and the "pocket array" of Xiangcheng solid is getting tighter and tighter. After eight hours of fierce fighting, all the troops of a Japanese squadron were wiped out. The Xiangchenggu campaign dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army again, aroused the fighting spirit of the people in the base areas, and played an important role in consolidating the anti-Japanese base areas in the southern Hebei plain and persisting in guerrilla warfare in the plain. In this way, the 386th Brigade naturally became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army.

On February 1 1 day, the Japanese army dispatched 70 vehicles with more than 2,000 people, sent five planes to cooperate, dispatched tanks and towed heavy artillery. The armored vehicle is affixed with the slogan "Specializing in the 386 Brigade", looking for the organs and troops of the 386 Brigade along the way. They arrested a correspondent of the Eighth Route Army. The first question was: "Are you from the 386 Brigade?" Make sure it's not. The car has left.

At this time, the 386 brigade has been transferred to Qiu County. The Japanese team chased Qiu County again. The 386 brigade moved to the vicinity of the pointed hill north of Guantao. By the time the Japanese army reached the cusp, the 386th Brigade had crossed the Weihe River and moved to guanxian. After seven days of chasing, the japs still failed to catch up.

Chen Geng led the 386th Brigade to race with Japanese cars on foot, and every time he moved to other places on the night of camping. The Japanese never chased the 386th Brigade once, and finally they had to leave in anger.

On one occasion, Carlson, the military attache of the US Embassy, visited the 386th Brigade and couldn't help but praise it again and again: "The 386th Brigade is the best brigade in China."

According to statistics, in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the 386th Brigade moved to Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces to mobilize the masses, strengthen the armed forces and carry out guerrilla warfare. Fighting more than 850 times, killing and injuring more than 25,000 Japanese puppet troops, consolidating and expanding the anti-Japanese base areas and strengthening our army.

At that time, there was a ballad in Taiyue District: Little Japan, you can hear clearly, there is Chen Geng on Taiyue Mountain. Japanese, don't be naughty and let you meet Zhou Xihan. ...

This is the team we are talking about. And Chen Geng said, our 386 brigade is called "Sanzi Ichiro Force". It means that Chen Geng has a disabled leg and is called "lame"; Political commissar Wang Xinting, with high myopia, wears glasses. He is called "blind". Zhou Xihan, the chief of staff, is extremely thin and is called "skinny"; Chen Zaidao, the deputy brigade commander, claimed to be desperately saburo. Isn't this the "Sanzi Ichiro" army?
