Don Yan Jie's record

After the establishment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, three large-scale attacks were carried out on the traffic lines behind the enemy lines in Pinghan and Pingsui, and troops were sent into eastern Hebei, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. After a long period of investigation, the Japanese army realized that there were not only a large number of Eighth Route Army "bandits" hidden in Beiyue Mountain area, but also command organs such as Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. 1In September, 938, the commander of the Japanese North China Army, Sugiyama Zhao, carried out the battle plan of "surrounding Wutai in the north" according to the order of the base camp, mobilized more than 50,000 Japanese troops, and launched an attack on Wutai Mountain area from all directions on September 20, targeting the party, government and military organs in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area and the county town controlled by the Eighth Route Army. On this day, Nie Rongzhen is studying the battle plan with his assistants in the house. He heard a buzzing sound outside. He went out, stood on the steps and looked up at the sky. He saw a small Japanese reconnaissance plane hovering over the village in a clear sky. He went back to the house and told the staff: "Tell the directly affiliated teams and troops to pay attention to concealment."

The staff made a phone call and Nie Rongzhen looked at the map on his desk. After a while, there was still a buzz in the air outside. Nie Rongzhen suddenly stood up and threw the pencil on the map: "Get out of the way, I can't stay here."

Chief of Staff Tang looked up: "What about now?"

"Now, Jingangku Village is going to be bombed."

As soon as the enemy reconnaissance plane left, directly under the authority and his team of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region acted immediately. Shortly after the big group left, Japanese bombers bombed one after another, blowing up the small village of Jingangku with black smoke. Everyone looked at the smoke and dust over Jingangku village from a distance and couldn't help but spit out their tongues: "It's so hanging!"

It is understood that there is a traitor in Jingangku village who works as a telephone director in Tianjin. He told the Japanese army the secret. If the transfer is not timely, the Jinchaji Military Region may suffer losses.

Before the enemy attacked, Nie Rongzhen, as the leader of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Party, Government and Army, called the Military Region and the Border Region Party Committee for general mobilization. On the basis of the original armed forces, all counties have generally organized guerrillas of 70 to 80 people to assist the troops in fighting, taking on the tasks of vigilance, investigation, transportation, stretchers and disturbing enemy traffic, leading villagers to completely clear the field, bury grain and fill wells, so that the enemy can fight in the "no man's land".

The Japanese Shimizu Masao Brigade set out from Yangquan, Shanxi Province, and first entered the southeast of Wutai County under the cover of aircraft. Shimizu Masao, an arrogant old devil, has been called "the first to enter Wutai County" for many times. The enemy is advancing rapidly. Nie led his troops to a ravine near Gengjiazhuang, and the enemy really approached our head office. Nie ordered Tang, the chief of staff, to order the troops of the second division and the barracks of the military academy to retreat.

Tang led the troops to meet the enemy. After investigation, it was learned that Shimizu Masao Brigade had camped in Gengjiazhuang Town, and he led his troops to quietly occupy the highland near the village in the middle of the night. In the early morning of September 28, the Japanese army assembled to prepare for departure. Don shouted to him, "Fight!" The troops opened fire together and the Japanese army was knocked down at that time. Don shouted to him, "Go!" I personally led the guard company to rush down, and the enemy was caught off guard and killed a lot at once. When the enemy was in a hurry, he immediately organized a counterattack and attacked the mountain. Grenade launchers and machine guns were used, and our army also lost a lot. Dozens of cadres in the learning barracks were killed or injured, and Tang was also injured.

When the troops retreated, Tang, the injured chief of staff, called Nie to report the fighting and casualties. When Nie Rongzhen heard that so many precious cadres were killed or injured, he became uncharacteristically impatient: "Do you-does the wound hurt?"

"pain!" Don whispered.

"pain! I have to settle accounts with you! "

Don returned to headquarters with a bandage. Nie Rongzhen is still angry. He walked around the room with his hands behind his back and his head down. The air in the room is very tense. Staff officers and guards are afraid to go outside. Nie was walking and suddenly stopped in front of Tang: "I lost so many precious cadres at once! You, a military chief of staff and a senior commander, just left the command post and brought someone to kill you, just for a moment. If you die in the battle, the enemy will easily get rid of one of our senior cadres. How do I explain to the central and headquarters? How can I be worthy of your brother? "

Twenty days later, Nie read a telegram from the Japanese newspaper "Fukuoka Nikkei News": Colonel Masataka Shimizu, a famous martial artist, was killed in World War I ... In the newspaper, there were photos of the Japanese army carrying a coffin with Shimizu's body into Wutai County. Until then, everyone knew that Shimizu Masao died in that battle. Nie immediately reported this situation to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

More than 50,000 enemy troops pressed the border and successively occupied all the important towns in the border areas. The situation is very serious. How many enemies are there and how many reserve troops are there? Nie Rongzhen has no foundation in his heart. On September 30th, Nie practically sent two urgent telegrams to the headquarters and the central government.

The leaders of the CPC Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army headquarters are very concerned about the struggle against "mopping up" in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei. Mao Zedong and Zhu De looked at the overall situation in Yan 'an caves and gave clear instructions on the struggle strategy. The Eighth Route Army headquarters also ordered the 129 Division to destroy Zheng Tai Road and carry out an active tail attack on the enemy entering from Zheng Tai Road; Command 120 Division to take effective measures to cooperate with the Shanxi-Chaji Military Region. The strategic guidance of the central government and the strong cooperation of various units have played an important role in the victory of the anti-"mopping up". After receiving the telegram from the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao, Nie suddenly began to speak. He calmly adjusted his deployment and adopted guerrilla tactics against some troops against the enemy. The main forces jumped out of the encirclement, attacked enemy convoys, damaged roads and bridges, and dragged on with the enemy for a long time in the increasingly cold mountainous areas.

After the headquarters and rear office of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei withdrew from Fuping, the sniper troops also jumped to the periphery to ambush the enemy transport team. The Japanese army entered the empty city of Fuping at the cost of casualties 1300. There is no one in the city, no chicken, no sheep, no pot, no grain, only countless anti-Japanese slogans. After the enemy occupied the empty city, either the transport team was captured by me or the barracks were attacked by me, and there was no peace day and night.
