The Japanese army was very rampant, and the officers and soldiers were deeply poisoned by the Nazis. Most of them were very stubborn and believed that sacrificing their lives for Tian Huang was a supreme honor.
There is another important reason, which is determined by the domestic social environment. If the Japanese officers and soldiers surrendered on the battlefield, their families would also be discriminated against by the local government and people. Therefore, the Japanese officers and soldiers would rather die than surrender.
The members of the infamous Japanese Kamikaze Special Attack Team were ordinary workers, farmers and students. Many of them had not graduated from high school and were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They knew that the so-called special attack was to die, but They remain undaunted and may even express regret when a mission is temporarily cancelled.
There is an extreme example. In order to allow her husband to fight with peace of mind, a Japanese woman chose to commit suicide. She also left a suicide note to her husband, telling him that she was dead and asking him not to worry about it and to devote herself to opening up borders for the country. Expanding soil.
The Japanese in this era have been almost completely brainwashed by the Japanese *** and are simply a bunch of lunatics.
Therefore, they performed very bravely on the battlefield and had a highly conscious fighting spirit. This is also one of the main reasons for the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
On the battlefield, the Japanese organized troops were surrounded countless times. Even though they were running out of ammunition and food, they still fought tenaciously and either died in battle or broke out of the encirclement. There were almost no surrenders by organized Japanese troops.
When Cui Zhenyue first started shouting, the Japanese troops also temporarily stopped shooting, wanting to hear what Cui Zhenyue was shouting.
When the Japanese army heard that they were trying to persuade him to surrender, many people became angry and shot Cui Zhenyue one after another.
The tank was designed very reasonably. When Cui Zhenyue came out, the cover of the tank was upright, like a shield in front of his body. The bullets hit the cover and made a clanging sound, and even the iron speaker in his hand He was hit by a bullet, and the powerful impact almost caused him to throw away the speaker.
Seeing this situation, Cui Zhenyue had no choice but to get back into the tank.
Chu Yunfei originally didn't agree with Xu Dalong's opinions. Seeing this situation, he said angrily: "Brother Dalong, these little devils will not surrender. Don't waste your energy with them. Just kill them. "
Fang Ligong and others also agreed with Chu Yunfei's opinion and demanded an attack on the Japanese army.
Although Wang Chengzhu, Wei Monk and the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan guerrillas were angry at the Japanese army's stubborn resistance, they trusted their captain, so no one said anything.
Xu Dalong was not surprised by the Japanese army's performance. He said patiently: "Sir Chu, brothers! What you said makes sense. It is indeed not easy to get these little devils to surrender. However, we can try again. Try it, the little devils can’t escape anyway, it’s like a cat and mouse game, you might as well play with them for a while.”
Chu Yunfei still respected Xu Dalong very much. He also believed that the Japanese army could not escape, so he gave Xu Dalong face and did not continue to insist on his opinion.
Xu Dalong discussed with Chu Yunfei that they should besiege this Japanese army for a long time and wait until they run out of ammunition and food. Even if they refuse to surrender, it would be easier to eliminate them.
Chu Yunfei had no objection and ordered his officers and soldiers to start digging fortifications in case the Japanese army broke out.
While Xu Dalong ordered the guerrillas to dig fortifications, he also sent a telegram to notify the county brigade to come for reinforcements.
They dug several trenches around the Japanese army and tightly surrounded the Japanese army inside.
The captain of the Japanese army saw the intention of the anti-Japanese armed forces, but they did not organize a breakout because he knew very well that the enemy's troops and firepower had a huge advantage, and it was impossible to succeed in a daytime breakout. He decided to organize his troops to break out at night.
Wang Xiaohu is now the chief steward in charge of logistics for the Mawushan guerrillas. Xu Dalong asked him to handle a few things. After Wang Xiaohu accepted the order, he went down to make arrangements.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Xiaohu's transport convoy came over and unloaded the daily necessities from the vehicle. Not long after, the smell of stew wafted from the positions of the guerrillas and the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade.
Soon after, the officers and soldiers started to eat. The meal was very rich, with several dishes, a bowl of meat for each person, and steaming white flour steamed buns.
The officers and soldiers had a great time eating like they were having a dinner, but it was a pity that they were not allowed to drink.
The Japanese officers and soldiers withdrew from Yinping County in a hurry. They originally thought that they would be able to escape to Ping'an County today, so they did not bring food, cooking utensils, and of course any dry food. They had run out since the morning, marched all the way and fought fiercely, which had consumed a lot of energy, and their stomachs were already starting to feel uncomfortable. The smell of food coming from the anti-Japanese armed positions made their stomachs growl.
However, the Japanese army had a high degree of organizational discipline and maintained relatively strong morale at this time, so no one complained.
After dinner, seven or eight loudspeakers were set up on the positions of the guerrillas and the 358th Brigade, aiming at the Japanese troops in the encirclement from all sides.
These loudspeaker equipment were collected by Wang Xiaohu from Yinping County in accordance with Xu Dalong's instructions. Soon the loudspeakers began broadcasting.
Someone shouted in Japanese: "Japanese officers and soldiers, you have been surrounded and can't run. Surrender quickly. If you don't surrender, there is only a dead end. You all have parents, wives and children, and they all miss you. You can only live if you don't surrender." Only when you go back can you see them. Don't die in vain for the Japanese ***. Surrender quickly, surrender!
Japanese officers and soldiers, are you hungry? We have prepared wine and meat, white flour steamed buns, and rice. As long as you surrender, you can have hot, delicious meals. Surrender quickly. "
The contents of these slogans were taught to them by Xu Dalong. He did not expect these words to impress the Japanese officers and soldiers now. The first thing to do was to make the Japanese officers and soldiers irritated, not allowing them to rest, and wearing down their will.
The Japanese army was very angry. At first, they bombarded them with artillery.
The guerrillas and the artillery of the 358th Brigade also fought back. They had much more artillery than the Japanese. As long as one artillery shell hit the Japanese, ten more would fly over.
The Japanese troops were surrounded in a small area with no natural barriers, and the fortifications they hurriedly dug could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire. The result of the shelling was that the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and even their artillery was almost completely destroyed.
After several repeated attempts, the Japanese soldiers learned their lesson and no longer took the initiative to provoke.
The anti-Japanese armed forces also obeyed the rules. As long as the Japanese army did not fire artillery, they would automatically stop shelling.
The battlefield fell silent, with only the loudspeakers repeating boring content.
There were many guerrillas who could speak Japanese, so they took turns to broadcast, with each person broadcasting for ten minutes. They were all irritated by such simple, repetitive, and boring things. You can imagine how those Japanese soldiers felt.
As night fell, the Japanese joint captain summoned officers above the captain level to discuss a night breakout.
He said: "Everyone, the situation is very serious. I have requested the division commander to send reinforcements, but you all know the situation of our division. The division commander has no reinforcements to send, so we can only rely on ourselves for everything.
We carry no baggage, our ammunition has been almost exhausted, and we have no food. If we remain trapped here, we will only die. The only way now is to break out of the siege resolutely and bravely.
I ask you to tell the soldiers about the difficult situation the regiment encountered after you go back, so that they can give up the illusion of waiting for rescue and fight their way out of the siege. This is the only way to survive. "
At this time, the officers still maintained their tenacious fighting will. They understood the difficulty of the situation, so they were very resolute, expressing their obedience to the commander's order and leading the troops to fight to the death.
The captains returned to their respective units. The commander's order was conveyed, and the officers and soldiers were mobilized to fight to the death and break out of the encirclement.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were dizzy and angry by the boring broadcast from the enemy's position. At this time, they still maintained a strong will to fight.
After the mobilization of the officers, they were all in high spirits and ready to break out.
Needless to say, experienced generals like Xu Dalong and Chu Yunfei, even ordinary officers and soldiers knew that the Japanese army would definitely break through tonight. Half of the soldiers were sleeping, and the other half were guarding their positions, ready to repel the enemy's attack at any time.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese captain looked at the sky. A bright moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight spread over the fields. The visibility tonight was very high, and the Japanese army's actions were easily discovered by the anti-Japanese armed forces, but they had no choice.
The captain looked at his watch, and at the appointed time, he ordered a Japanese battalion captain to lead two squadrons of Japanese troops to launch a charge towards the guerrilla positions in the direction of Ping'an County.
The battle started quickly, and the two sides fought fiercely.
A large number of light and heavy machine guns were mounted on the guerrilla positions, and they fired fiercely at the Japanese troops. The rifles in the hands of other officers and soldiers were firing non-stop. They were outnumbered, and bullets rained down on the Japanese army like a heavy rain.
A large number of tanks and armored vehicles stayed at the front of the position. They were like moving bunkers, spitting tongues of fire fiercely at the Japanese troops with their machine guns.
The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties and could not charge forward at all, but the Japanese army was already trying their best. Some bent down and continued to charge, while others crawled on the ground and continued to attack the guerrilla positions.
This was not the main direction for the Japanese army to break out. The Japanese commander judged that the enemy would think that they would break through directly towards Ping'an County, so there would be no heavy troops on this side. The commander sent these Japanese troops to carry out a sheep attack. He led the main force towards Breakout to the northwest.
During the day, the commander of the regiment had already seen the Jinsui Army's position in the northwest. In his mind, the Mawushan guerrillas were really powerful. In comparison, the Jinsui Army was a soft persimmon. He hoped to break out of the Jinsui Army's position.
What Chu Yunfei is best at is formal offensive and defensive operations, and he is very good at positional warfare.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade were also good at positional warfare. When they saw the Japanese army rushing over, they fired fiercely at the Japanese army. The Japanese officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties and fell to the ground one by one.
However, the Japanese army was already desperate. Everyone knew that this was their only chance. If they could not get out, the only thing waiting for them would be the complete destruction of the entire army.
The Japanese officers and soldiers held their sharp bayonets, howled and charged while shooting, desperately rushing towards the Jinsui Army's position.
The equipment of the 358th Brigade is still very good. Each platoon has a light machine gun, and the firepower density is quite high, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
However, there were too many Japanese troops, and the attack speed was very fast. Soon they rushed to the front of the position.
The Japanese troops rushing in front threw grenades at the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army. The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army could not resist and were forced to abandon the first trench.
When Chu Yunfei saw that the Japanese army had captured the first trench, he did not feel depressed at all. Instead, he laughed.
When the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army saw the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army escaping, their morale was boosted. They jumped into the trenches one after another, preparing to use the trenches to suppress the vitality of the Jinsui Army, and then launch an attack on the second trench.
When the Japanese officers and soldiers jumped into the trenches, everyone was dumbfounded.
They found that these enemy troops were so wicked that the trenches were dug so deep, a full two meters. They are not very tall, so they cannot see the situation on the other side in the trench.
They were all very puzzled, wondering why those Jinsui troops were able to shoot at them from the trenches just now.
In the second trench, the Jinsui officers and soldiers were lying on the trench, using firepower to attack the Japanese troops who had not jumped into the previous trench.
They were able to use the trenches because there was a small wooden bench at their feet.
This move was taught to Chu Yunfei by his German instructor. The Japanese army did not know the details and suffered a big loss all of a sudden.
The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade used firepower to suppress the following Japanese troops. Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese troops jumped into the trenches and were unable to shoot for a short time, they launched a counterattack against the Japanese troops.
They rushed to the trench and threw grenades into the trench.
There were too many Japanese officers and soldiers entering the trenches at this time. The grenades fell into such a small space as the trenches, and the power of the explosion increased a lot. The Japanese officers and soldiers were blown to pieces.
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army quickly rushed to the trenches, condescendingly destroyed the Japanese troops in the trenches, and quickly recaptured the first trench.
When the Japanese army captured the first trench, the Japanese commander was very happy, but the changes that followed left him stunned.
Seeing that the casualties of the troops were too serious, he had to order the troops to retreat.
The Japanese army's breakout operation failed. The captain of the Japanese army knew that the anti-Japanese armed forces were now well prepared and that it was no longer possible to carry out sneak attacks. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to break through the encirclement.
He could only order his troops to go on the defensive to prevent the enemy from attacking.
