In 1943, according to the instructions of Luo Ronghuan, commander of the Shandong Military Region, the Coastal Military Region decided to annihilate the 71st Brigade of the puppet army stationed in Ganyu City.
The brigade commander Li Yafan was originally a deputy commander of Miao Zhengliu, commander of the Kuomintang 57th Army, and had 3 regiments under his command, including Huang Shengchun, the commander of the 1st regiment, Yang Buren (that is, Wang Fengming, a traitor to the Eighth Route Army), and Zhang Xingsan, the commander of the 3rd regiment. It is said to be a brigade, but there are only more than 1600 people.
Earlier, the Eighth Route Army sent people to have contact with Huang Shengchun, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Puppet Army, who expressed his willingness to serve the Eighth Route Army, and Liu Liancheng, an aide-de-camp of the Pseudo-1 regiment, was once captured by the Eighth Route Army, released after education, often passed on information to the Eighth Route Army, and became a person working for the Eighth Route Army.
Before the war, the military region had wanted to win Huang Shengchun anyway, but after careful consideration, it believed that there was not enough education for Huang, and the conditions were not ripe anyway, so it determined another plan -- asking Liu Liancheng to take advantage of the order of the 1st Regiment to ask the 3rd Battalion of the Regiment to go out of the city to the suburbs to grab grain, lure them into an ambush circle, force them to surrender their weapons, and then let Liu Liancheng lead the 1st Battalion of the 686th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to pretend to be the enemy army and enter the city.
On November 19, everything went according to plan. In the morning, the pseudo-3rd Battalion, which went out of the city to grab grain, was completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army.
In the evening, the 686th regiment and the 23rd regiment of the Eighth Route Army lurked outside Ganyu City. The Eighth Route Army commando team, posing as a puppet army of the 3rd Battalion, hid outside the northeast gate, and prepared to be led into the city by Liu Liancheng, the reconnaissance squad leader Liu Guorong, the sapper Hao Fengshuang, and Ren Fengcheng.
Liu Liancheng appeared in the outer trench. The sentry in the city shouted, "What for?"
Liu Liancheng replied, "Deputy Liu, Liu Liancheng." ”
As soon as the words fell silent, the half-hidden wooden gate in front of the banqiao opened. Engineer Ren invented, Hao Fengshuang carried explosives in flour bags, and cleverly followed Liu Liancheng.
The upstairs sentry spoke again: "Alas! Deputy Liu, why did you come back at this time? I immediately went to open the door. Today is a coincidence, when it is dark, the key is confiscated, or you have to run to the company to get it! As he spoke, he ran down from the city tower.
But another sentry on the upper floor of the city saw the man carrying the mask and cried out in amazement: "What, where are so many people?"
Liu Liancheng said angrily, "Why are you so wordy!" So much supply, the dark car can not be pushed, do not find someone to carry, you drink the northwest wind to go? ”
The door opened a crack, and the sentry who opened the door said, "Deputy Liu, come in." And fellow countrymen, which village?"
This question could make Hao Fengshuang and Ren Invent difficult. They were all Shanxi people, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they would show their horses' feet, and Liu Liancheng coldly reached out and grabbed the neck of the other party and pulled him outside, at which time the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lying in front of the wooden gate immediately rushed into the city gate.
As soon as the city gate was opened, the commando team flew into the city under the order of He Wanxiang's company commander. The main forces that were ambushed on both sides of the road also immediately followed, and rushed unstoppable to the city gates.
After the large troops invaded the city, they immediately reported frequent successes, the pseudo-3 battalion headquarters and the 8th company were all captured, and the pseudo-police station was completely annihilated... 300 captives were taken. The battle began, and the 1st Battalion of the Puppet Army surrendered to the 23rd Regiment.
When it was dark, some of the stubborn enemies were still entrenched in the brigade headquarters and struggling to the death. The political commissar of Fu Zhuting issued an order: "Bring the cannon and destroy the enemy's central turret!" ”
Within a few minutes, the sharpshooter Li Yuzhang and others dragged the steel cannon from the devil's hand and prepared to fire it.
"Wait a minute!" Commissar Fu turned and wrote a note, then said, "Send someone to the enemy brigade commander Li Yafan." ”
The note reads:
"At present, Yi devolution is defeated, and the Japanese are collapsing. We attacked Ganyu with the aim of liberating the masses. If er abandons the way of confessing to the thief as a father and immediately surrenders and surrenders his weapons, he will be fortunate for the country and the people; if he resists stubbornly, he will die. Where to go, Xi Quickly decided. ”
A captive delivered the letter.
After a while, Commissar Fu wrote a second one:
"Our army has always been lenient to the officers and men who come and go, without further ado, and limit it to 10 minutes to make a reply, otherwise it will be bombarded with artillery fire. Don't make a mistake in downhill. ”
10 minutes have passed, and the enemy has not yet replied.
Fu Zhuting ordered: "Tell the 1st Battalion Commander to tell the troops to prepare to shoot!"
The ammunition man immediately filled the shell into the bore, "Boom! The shell flew into the second window of the enemy's turret, and with a loud noise, the upper half of the brick wall suddenly collapsed, and smoke rose high. The cheers of the soldiers had not subsided, and a puppet army officer escaped from the smoke.
He held a white towel aloft in both hands, not knowing which direction to go. Chen Xianjue, the instructor of the 2nd Company, greeted him with a shell gun. The enemy officer said in a daze, "Sir... I am the secretary, our brigade commander surrendered, surrendered, and told me to come out and meet your superiors! ”
He was Xie Baldzi, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of Zhang Xing's 3rd Regiment. When he saw Fu Zhuting, he also wanted to talk about the conditions.
"The correspondent," Fu Zhuting did not listen to him at all, "tell the 1st Battalion Commander to continue the bombardment!" ”
Xie Bald zi panicked and said busily: "Don't fight first..." But it was already too late, and "boom" was another shot.
"Hurry back and tell Li Yafan that you will be given another 5 minutes of grace, otherwise you will not be welcome!"
"Yes, yes,...... I'm going..." Xie Bald zi bent over and ran away with a cigarette.
Seeing that 5 minutes had passed again, Li Yafan had not yet surrendered. When the Eighth Route Army was about to launch a general offensive, Huang Shengchun, commander of the 1st Regiment of the puppet army, was already escorting Li Yafan and Zhang Xingsan. More than a thousand other puppet soldiers came out of the stronghold with gun bolts, carefully placed them in the designated place, and became prisoners.
In this battle, the Eighth Route Army paid the price of only three casualties, but won a victory in total annihilation and capture of 1600 enemy. Unfortunately, although the puppet army was completely annihilated, one person who ran away was Wang Fengming, the leader of the 2nd regiment of the puppet army under the pseudonym Yang Buren and a traitor to the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Fengming was born in the old Red Army, served as the political commissar of the 4th Brigade of the Suluyu Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, defected after huxi rebelled, and ran to Li Yafan to become a pseudo-army commander. During this battle, he saw that the situation was not good and immediately absconded. After this battle, he had no whereabouts.
