Brief introduction of Yuanziya defense

Yuanziya Village is located in the west of Junan County, Shandong Province 15km, belonging to Yishui County during the Anti-Japanese War. 194 1 year 19 February 19, about 156 puppet troops entrenched in Xiaoliangjia surrounded Yuanziya, and were repelled by the self-defense forces with earth guns. On the morning of 20th, around 10, 1000, the puppet troops rushed to Zi Yuan Cliff, and the village self-defense forces fought to the death with earth guns, broadswords and spears. It was not until the sun went down that the enemy troops squeezed into the paddock and the villagers vowed not to surrender. They launched a door-to-door street battle with the Japanese puppet troops with primitive weapons. In the evening, a company of the Fifth Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Column and the Armed Forces Department of Hexian District came to support the villagers in Yuanziya, and the enemy was forced to retreat. In this defense, Yuanziya self-defense team members wiped out more than 0/00 Japanese puppet troops, but there were also 147 self-defense team members and male and female villagers who gave their precious lives in the battle. The heroic deeds of Yuanziya people in resisting the enemy and defending their homeland have written a glorious page in the history of Junan Party History and Shandong Revolutionary Struggle, and were awarded the title of "Anti-Japanese Model Village" by Binhai Society at that time. Their deeds were recorded in China People's Military Museum, made into TV series and broadcast on CCTV 1995. Yuanziya Village, located in Banquan District, Yishui County (now Junan County), Yimeng Mountain Area, Shandong Province, is a village with more than 200 families. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the west of Shuhe River was occupied by the Japanese army, while the Eighth Route Army was active on the east bank of Shuhe River. Yuanziya village has become a tug-of-war zone in enemy-occupied areas and anti-Japanese guerrilla areas. The Japanese army often comes to this area to "mop up", killing people, robbing property and raping women; The puppet troops in Xiaoliangjia stronghold on the west bank of Shuhe River often go to the villages on the east bank to ask for food from the Japanese army. Some armed landlords and bandits harassed villagers and extorted money under the banner of "anti-Japanese". The poor have lived for years, living a life of "being afraid of seeing people run during the day and listening to dogs barking at night".

1940 65438+ 10, the independent battalion of the Second Brigade of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Column entered Yuanziya Village. The commanders and fighters are approachable, fighting devils and catching traitors, risking their lives and not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. The villagers realized that the Eighth Route Army was the real anti-Japanese team. In June+10 this year, the "anti-big" working group came to the village to publicize the truth of resisting Japan and saving the country among the villagers. At the end of 1940, with the help of Feng Gansan, the head of Banquan District, Yuanziya Village established an anti-Japanese democratic regime and an anti-Japanese self-defense force. Lin just turned 18 that year and was elected as the village head. Then, mass anti-Japanese organizations such as "Farmers' Salvation Association", "Women's Salvation Association" and "Youth Anti-Japanese League First" were established in the village.

194 1 In the summer of, eight troupes organized by Shandong Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China came to the village for public performances, which greatly educated the villagers and aroused the anti-Japanese sentiment of the masses. In order to defend their hometown, the villagers gathered together the "raw iron ox", "Wuzi cannon", broadsword and spear used to fight bandits in the past as weapons to fight the enemy. The anti-Japanese national salvation work in the village has been carried out vigorously, anti-Japanese slogans can be seen everywhere, and anti-Japanese songs are endless. Therefore, Yuanziya Village has become a thorn in the enemy's side and a thorn in his flesh. The Japanese puppet troops stationed on the west bank of the Shuhe River are trying to destroy the anti-Japanese organizations in this village.

194 1 winter, the Japanese army's "iron wall encirclement and suppression" began, and the Shandong anti-Japanese base area entered the most difficult years. 194 1 One day in the middle of February, the puppet troops in Xiaoliangjia stronghold sent a note to pay tribute to the Japanese army, demanding a large amount of chicken, duck, fish, white flour and 1000 US dollars. The villagers who didn't even have enough to eat resolutely refused them. Lin, the village chief, also asked someone to write back: "Chicken, duck, meat, noodles and money are all ready. Come and get it, kill one, kill two! " Then, a self-defense team and mass meeting was held, calling on everyone to make all preparations to meet the enemy. Liang Huaxuan, the captain of Xiaoliangjia Puppet Army, led 150 people to surround Yuanziya village. The puppet troops shouted outside the earthen tube-shaped building: "Give us what we want quickly, attack the paddock slowly, and kill a chicken and a dog."

Tuweizi was built by villagers in early years to avoid bandits and disasters. It is more than 5 meters high and 1 meter thick. It is built with turrets and gun holes, which is very strong. As soon as the puppet troops approached the fence, the local artillery of the villagers' self-defense forces "rumbled", and then tiles and stones were thrown at the enemy group, causing the puppet troops to flee about.

Liang Huaxuan, the captain of the puppet army, swore: "Lin, you used to resist transporting grain, but now you are firing at the Imperial Association Army. Damn it. " Pointing a gun at the puppet troops and not letting them retreat, he ordered them to climb the wall and enter the village.

Under the command of Lin, the Self-Defense Forces responded calmly. When the puppet troops approached the fence, the "raw iron cow" screamed and the ammunition was sprayed at the enemy group. Only when the smoke started, people went belly-up, and the puppet troops were beaten with broken legs and arms and retreated in succession. Under the cover of artillery fire, the self-defense team members broke through the fence and pursued the defeated enemy with broadswords, spears and soil guns. The puppet troops fled desperately, some took off their shoes and some lost their hats and fled back to their strongholds in a panic. Meet the Japanese aggressors and build the Great Wall of flesh and blood.

Villagers dare not treat traitors lightly. In order to prevent the enemy from making a comeback, Yuanziya village is ready to fight again. Men, women and children in the village joined hands to strengthen fences, wipe weapons and make ammunition. Gunpowder, soil cannon and broadsword from each household were collected and distributed to each battle post in the earthen enclosure, and a wooden shelf with a height of more than two meters was set up along the inside of the earthen enclosure with a height of five meters, which could be used for observation and shooting. The whole village has a division of labor. Once the battle starts, young men and young women will guard the fence, young women will carry ammunition and stones, and old people and children will send water and meals to rescue the wounded.

As expected, in the early morning of February 20th, 194 16438+00, more than 1000 Japanese troops who went to Yimeng mountain area to "surround the Eighth Route Army with iron walls" passed through the north of Yuanziya village, ready to return to Xinpu (now Jiangsu Province) stronghold. The traitors in Xiaoliangjia stronghold lied that the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Yuanziya village and led the Japanese army to Yuanziya. When the villagers heard the noise, they took action at once. Young people picked up soil guns, broadswords, hay cutters and other weapons and climbed up the shelves and fences. Old, weak, women and children are busy loading ammunition, picking up stones and sending them under the fence.

The Japanese army that came up stopped four or five hundred meters away from the paddock, and a large area of yellow was pressed into the ground! Waving the small "plaster" flag of the Japanese army, the traitor team went south along Dawang in the west of the village. The Japanese brigade entered the deep ditch in the northwest of the village, and the Japanese cavalry entered the graveyard in the east of the village. The Japanese army set up machine guns and four cannons around the village. The gun was pointed at the village. After the Japanese army surrounded the whole village, they sent puppet troops to surrender, saying that as long as the Eighth Route Army and grain were handed over, the village would be safe. Lin, the village chief, said loudly, "No!" The Japanese army outflanked from the deep ditch in the northwest of the village, and the situation was extremely critical. Lin stood on the wooden shelf and mobilized before the battle. He said to the villagers, "The devils have surrounded us, and there is no way out, no way out. Life for life is worth it! Kill two devils with one person, and earn! Behind the mound is our home. There are old people, women and children at home. Once the devil comes in. The consequences are unimaginable. People in Yuanziya are bloody and would rather die than be cowards. Everyone works together and fights with the devils! " The villagers said in unison, "I would rather die standing than live lying down." We all listen to you, fight! "

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the enemy's attack began. The Japanese first bombarded the city walls and villages with mountain guns. Heavy and light machine gun bullets rained down on the wall, and smoke rose rapidly around the village. The house hit by the shell suddenly turned into a pile of rubble, and many villagers were killed. Lin took off his cotton-padded jacket, swung his broadsword and calmly commanded the villagers to occupy favorable terrain. When the enemy entered the circle of fire, Lin Qinghao's "Wuzi Gun" fired first, and then "Raw Iron Bull", soil gun and soil gun started together. I saw smoke billowing in the enemy group, and the Japanese army screamed and panicked and retreated dozens of meters.

After a while, the Japanese army concentrated on attacking the wall in the northeast corner of the village. This fence is newly built, and the cunning enemy wants to open the gap from here and attack the village. Lin hurriedly took 30 people to reinforce the northeast fence, and Secretary Li of Banquan District Committee, who helped in the village, also took dozens of people to help. Four Japanese cannons and several small guns pounded the northeast fence. Under the cover of artillery fire, the devils rushed to the wall of the northeast corner in droves with bayonets. When the Japanese arrived only 20 meters away from the fence, Lin shouted "Let go!" In an instant, more than 20 cannons fired together, and the enemy rolled back to Beidagou in the smoke, leaving more than a dozen bodies. At the same time, the enemy who attacked the northwest corner also suffered the same blow.

10, the battle became heated. The Japanese machine guns fired like fried beans, but the enemy's waves of attacks were repelled by heroic villagers. Lin was naked and covered in blood, carrying a big knife, and kept running along the various fighting points of the mound. He hurried to wherever he wanted to go. The gunfire was so loud that he couldn't hear the sound, so he shouted, and finally his tongue drooped. At the north gate, he met Lin Xianglin's grandfather, his head was broken and his face was covered with blood. Lin told him to hurry home and dress up, and then come back to continue fighting. On the shelf of the east fence, he saw the gunner Lin Jiusheng bend down. He quickly pulled him aside and covered the body with a straw.

Many of the "Wuzi cannons" in the village are all red, so they can only be cooled by pouring kerosene one by one. The iron ore was soon used up, and the women in the village smashed the iron pot into pieces. Send to location; Break off the teeth of the iron rake one by one and put them directly into the gun chamber to fight. The biggest threat to the Japanese army is this kind of "Wuzi cannon". A "five-gun" needs five people, one to watch the target, one to adjust the gun position, two to load the powder and one to ignite. This kind of soil cannon is not big, but it is very powerful. It can be made of nails and stones, and the enemy will fall where the cannon rings. However, due to the long time of loading gunpowder, the Japanese army took advantage of this gap and sent people to grab guns. The villagers fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese troops who rushed up.

Lin Chongyan's two generations 10 men are all on the gun emplacement. Japanese artillery shells exploded under their feet, and some people were injured and some fell down. But they are not afraid at all. Their heads were buzzing with artillery, and no one took a step back. In this way, after a fierce battle all morning, the Japanese army failed to break through the fence.

In the afternoon, the Japanese army launched another fierce attack, and the shells whistled like the wind, dense and fierce. The wall in the northeast corner was blasted, and many self-defense players were buried in the soil, and some died gloriously. Lin Jiuxiang lifted two door panels and rushed up to plug the gap. A shell flew in and the door panel was blown to pieces. Lin Qingzhou then lifted the door panel, but it didn't stop, and the door panel was blown to pieces. The hole in the fence is getting bigger and bigger, and the "Wuzi cannon" obviously can't beat the Japanese artillery.

When the Japanese saw the fence was broken, they screamed and rushed to the gap. Lin Duanwu, a young self-defense player, is holding a hay cutter on the gap. At this time, the leading Japanese soldiers rushed into the gap. Lin Dragon Boat Festival hay knife "brush" a wave of his hand, the Japanese skull cracked and fell to the ground. When he rushed to the second Japanese army, a bullet flew in and took his young life. Lin Jiuxuan, the father of Lin Dragon Boat Festival, then rushed up and stabbed a devil with a spear, but he was also surrounded by several devils. After a while, the old man couldn't support it, fell under the wall and shouted, "folks, fight to the end." Never be a coward when you die! "

Lin, the village chief, resisted grief, waved a broadsword and started hand-to-hand combat with two Japanese troops. Lin Jiugan, with a broad waist and a round waist, came with a knife, fell down with his hand and hacked to death a Japanese soldier. He himself was shot several times and died heroically. Just as another Japanese bayonet was aimed at Lin's head, Lin Jiugan's wife rushed up and killed the Japanese with a shovel.

The news that the fence was broken spread all over the village. Women, the elderly and children guarded the gap with kitchen knives, spears and farm tools. Lin Chongzhou was wounded in the stomach by a shell and his intestines flowed out, but he kept fighting with a rag. Under the heroic counterattack of the villagers, the Japanese army retreated again.

Inside and outside the fence gap, the bodies were littered with blood on the ground. Lin Jiugan's wife knelt beside her husband's body as if she had lost consciousness. My father-in-law Lin Bingbiao came, and my daughter-in-law cried "Dad …" and "Wow". Lin Bingbiao gently covered his son with a bundle of grass, pulled up his daughter-in-law and said firmly, "Now is not the time to cry, son, stand up and fight the devil to the end!" "Then he carried the door panel to plug the gap. In the battle to plug the gap, Lin Bingbiao and his wife both died. The villagers braved the bullets and built gaps with door panels, stones and bagged sand.

Not long after, the Japanese army launched a charge, and the newly built northeast wall gap was destroyed by enemy artillery fire. Groups of demons rushed at the gap with guns. Lin Jiulan, Lin Chongsong and others waved hay cutters and stood at the edge of the gap. The Japanese army rushed into the gap and hacked to death two in a row. There are more and more Japanese troops, and the villagers are gradually unable to support them. Lin Jiulan, Lin Qinghai and others were evacuated to the east and west turrets inside the fence, and Lin and Lin Qinghui were also evacuated to a yard inside the fence.

The Japanese army swarmed over the gap, and Lin Jiulan and Lin Jiu, who were guarding the east turret, continued to fight with stones and tiles. When they saw that the protective building wall was about to collapse when it was hit by a shell, they used their quick wits to push down a section of the building wall, and several Japanese soldiers were killed under the wall. Then, they flew downstairs, waved broadswords and fought hard with the Japanese army, and finally died heroically because they were outnumbered.

The Japanese army rushed into the west turret, and Lin Qinghai threw the match rope into the gunpowder pot. There was only a bang, and the flames were soaring, and the three devils became "burning people". Lin, Lin Chongsong and others rushed into the turret and stabbed them to death. Before they could retreat, another Japanese army rushed up. They fought and retreated, killing the enemy with broadswords and spears. Lin Qinghai died of severe burns, and Lin Chongsong was shot down after hacking a Japanese soldier.

At this time, it is about 5 pm, and the battle has been going on for 9 hours. As the sun sets, the Japanese army keeps pouring into the village, and the villagers use hoes, shovels, kitchen knives and hoes to launch bitter street fighting and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The village is full of screams, curses and slashes ... Some couples are fighting the Japanese in the yard, some father and son are blocking the enemy at the same time in the alley, and some mother and daughter are fighting the devils together.

Several Japanese troops rushed into the firewood garden. Lin Qinghui, a self-defense player who is guarding Lin Chongzhou who is seriously injured, can't hold back his anger. He rushed out of the firewood pile and stabbed a Japanese soldier with a spear, but he was also caught by another Japanese soldier. He snapped the finger of the Japanese army. Lin Chongzhou, who just woke up, struggled, picked up a hoe and hit a Japanese army, and finally fainted to the ground because of excessive blood loss. The ferocious Japanese army bound Lin Chongzhou and Lin Qinghui and threw them into the burning haystack.

Lin, 17 years old, grabbed the enemy's gun with his bare hands. After his death, his hands were cut with a knife. Lin's wife killed a Japanese soldier who rushed into the yard with a kitchen knife, and two other Japanese bayonets stabbed her at the same time. Lin He immediately rushed up and killed two Japanese troops. Several Japanese troops rushed over from the street corner, and Lin Jie was unfortunately shot and killed. Lin fled to another alley and met Lin head-on. Lin threw a Grenade he had just handed over from the enemy at the enemy group. Two Japanese troops were blown down and the rest came at them. In order to cover Lin, Lin ran in the other direction, and the Japanese army followed. He ran to the corner of the alley and jumped into the well. After being surrounded by the Japanese army, Wang Yanzhi, a villager, decisively sounded a grenade around his waist and mutually assured destruction with the enemy.

There was a sound of killing from the alley in the west. Lin Qingyi, Lin Jiuxing and other dozens of 60-year-old people, with broadswords, spears and iron forks in their hands, are fighting with dozens of Japanese troops. In a short time, most of the old people were stabbed to death by the Japanese, and the rest were caught by the Japanese. The Japanese army forced them to surrender, and they risked their lives and denounced the Japanese army. The inhuman Japanese army killed them with bayonets, threw them into the cesspool, poured gasoline on them and burned them. When the forest belt arrived with several young men, there were already bodies piled up at the scene, and the old man Lin Jiuxing was climbing out of the pile of bodies. The old man's skin was burned, and several wounds soaked in dirty water were bleeding outward, making him tremble all over. He said to Lin, "We didn't humiliate Yuanziya village!" Then he swallowed.

Street fighting is still fierce, and the Japanese aggressors take all kinds of inhuman measures to retaliate. The unyielding atomic cliff man fought in blood and fire ... Everywhere the Japanese army went, it lit the haystack of the house, the northwest wind roared, and countless flames ran from north to south like poisonous snakes. The fire destroyed three houses. 883 houses in the village are on fire. No one cares about putting out the fire, and everyone in the village is fighting the Japanese army.

Lin Chongyan was chased by the Japanese army to the northeast corner of the roadway, which was a dead corner. No way back, the Japanese pushed him up step by step. Lin Chongyan carried a 2-meter-long soil cannon on his shoulder. In the twilight, you can almost see the twisted faces of the Japanese army. Lin Chongyan let the companion behind him point a gun. With a bang, two Japanese troops were blown to the ground, and the Japanese troops behind were afraid to catch up. Lin Chongyan and his companions threw guns and ran, plunged into a yard and jumped into the sweet potato cellar.

Lin Jiuyi, 2 1 year old, was hiding in a corner of the roadway with an iron fork in his hand. When he heard the sound of Japanese boots, he stabbed a Japanese soldier to death with an iron fork, then hid, heard Japanese footsteps coming, and jumped out to stab another. A large number of Japanese troops rushed up from behind. He threw down the iron fork, ran into a yard and plunged into a haystack. Fortunately, the Japanese army did not set fire to the haystack. When he came home, he found that his father had been stabbed in the neck and waist by the Japanese army.

In this day's battle, Yuanziya villagers wiped out more than 80 Japanese troops, and 147 self-defense members and the masses died heroically. Facing the cruel and evil Japanese army, the heroic Yuanziya people wrote a bloody national hero song with fearless spirit!

When the sun went down, there was fierce gunfire outside the earthen enclosure. Feng Gansan, the head of Banquan District, Liu Xinyi, the secretary of the district party committee, Zhao Tong, the propaganda committee member of the district party committee, and a company of the Eighth Route Army rushed to reinforce. As soon as the Japanese saw the Eighth Route Army reinforcements, they withdrew from the village and fought fiercely with the Eighth Route Army on the ridge northeast of the village.

During the battle, Xu Tan, the propaganda minister of the county party committee, was shot nine times and the rescue was invalid. Feng Gansan, Liu Xinyi, Zhao Tong and more than 40 Eighth Route Army county squadron fighters died heroically because they were outnumbered. Captain Feng Gansan's abdomen, chest and head were pierced by bayonets, and his whole body was covered with blood. When it was dark, the Shandong column of the Eighth Route Army arrived with the large troops of the Second Brigade and the Fifth Regiment. The Japanese army was afraid of losing money in the night battle, and while retreating to the southeast, it fired cold shots. Anti-Japanese model, the British name will go down in history forever.
