In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the equipment gap between the enemy and us was quite large. In particular, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army under the leadership of our Party did not even have guns in the early days of the War of Resistance. Under such conditions, a student general, Bao Sen, went so far as to annihilate a thousand enemy troops, losing only 30 of his own, and the 30:1 battle loss ratio did not even believe our party superiors. Let's see how godly this battle along the river was in Bausen.com.
Unlike most of the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army, Bausen was an "old qualification" who had participated in the revolution since the time of the Red Army. Bao Sen only entered yan'an kang da in 1937. In 1938, Bao Sen became the main founder of the anti-Japanese base area in eastern Hebei. The Jidong base area is the only anti-Japanese base area that connects Hebei with the northeast. On New Year's Day 1940, the Jidong Military Region decided to send Bao Sen to the Panshan area to open up a new anti-Japanese base area. Opening up anti-Japanese base areas has never been a simple matter. Bausen took only one reconnaissance squad and embarked on the road to the winding mountain. Overcoming difficulties and obstacles in the middle of the way, escaping the enemy's encirclement and interception, and finally reaching the Panshan area. Bausen was highly capable of working and trained guerrillas to suppress local bandits. In the autumn of 1940, Bausen established himself in The Panshan Mountains and formed a regiment of troops. It was the 13th Regiment of the Jidong Eighth Route Army in Panshan. After a year of hard work, the Panshan base area has developed into seven counties with a population of more than 2 million.
In July 1941, Okamura became commander of the North China Front. After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered a stalemate, the Japanese army felt more and more insufficient in the Chinese battlefield. There were not enough troops to "sweep" the Panshan base area of Baosen, so 45,000 puppet troops were stationed in Jidong to maintain "law and order.". On the night of January 12, 1942, the 3rd and 4th regiments of the 2nd Group of the Puppet Army in Yutian County prepared to "sweep" the Yanshan area. When Bao Sen heard the news, he was ready to teach the puppet army a lesson along the Guo River and let them honestly stay in the county town. After a night of rapid marching, the 13th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Baosen Regiment was ready at the front line of Cai Laozai and Cai Erzhuang on the north bank of the Guohe River in the southwest of Zunhua County.
The 4th regiment of the puppet army entered the Yanshan Pass with great might, and who knows, the king of Yan was waiting to clean them up. Three companies of the 13th Regiment took advantage of the night to launch an attack on the puppet army, and due to fear of night fighting, the 4th regiment of the puppet army withdrew to the position on the south bank and held it. In response to this situation, Bao Sen was held back on the front with three companies of troops, and four companies took advantage of the night to copy bread from the side. At dawn, the battle began. The puppet army was quickly surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. Subsequently, more than 200 puppet troops were annihilated, and the remaining puppet troops, led by Japanese instructors, broke through at Begu Temple with fortifications. The 3rd Battalion of our 13th Regiment immediately surrounded begusa Temple, hoping to annihilate this puppet army. Bao Sen estimated that the 3rd Regiment of the Puppet Army, which had entered the Jieshan Pass at this time, would return to support, so he sent a vigilant force to block the 3rd Regiment.
The most crucial thing in the war of annihilation is the time difference. If the remnants of the 4 regiments in front of them cannot be quickly resolved, and the reinforcements of the 3 regiments arrive, the situation will be reversed. Bao Sen came to the headquarters of the commander of the 3rd Battalion and encouraged the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion. This trick also worked, and the commander of the 3rd Battalion personally led the charge. The puppet army saw that reinforcements were delayed, and they themselves were dealt a fierce blow. The already demoralized puppet army killed the Japanese instructor and surrendered.
In this battle, more than 1,000 enemy troops were killed and captured, and 2 mountain guns, 4 mortars, and 26 light and heavy machine guns were captured. The 13th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army suffered only 30 casualties. With such a record, our party's superiors only believed that Bausen did not make false reports after hearing the enemy's intelligence. Okamura was surprised, "What? The Eighth Route Army suddenly had such a great force that it defeated the security army! ”
