On October 10, 1944, Major General Anshou Takeuchi, commander of the Independent Eighth Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Hebei, received a secret report that the leaders of the Eighth Route Army's Jirebian Special Committee were assembling at Yangjiapu, northeast of Fengrun, and were preparing to convene a high-level meeting starting on October 16. This information, the time, place, and participants were very detailed, which made Major General Takeuchi Yasumori very excited.
Why was this old devil, Takeuchi, so excited? Because the Japanese Army's independent mixed eighth brigade was formed in 1939, since its formation, they have always taken Hebei Province as the center and engaged the Eighth Route Army, according to statistics, the average monthly engagement has reached as many as forty times, but the Eighth Route Army is fighting more and more, and they have never been able to find the command center and main force of the Eighth Route Army.
However, while Major General Takeuchi Washo was excited, he was also quite cautious; after all, at that time, there were me in the enemy and I had the enemy, and after receiving the information, he did not rush to act, but strictly ordered the Japanese troops in the Fengrun area not to act rashly against the actions of the Eighth Route Army, and if necessary, they could let them move. At the same time, he secretly ordered the main force of the Independent Mixed Eighth Brigade of more than 2,700 people to form five rapid mobile units, the so-called fast, that is, not carrying infantry guns, more light and heavy machine guns, and carrying radio transceivers, secretly marching in the direction of Yangjiapu.
In the process of marching, Takeuchi guarded this old devil, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army, the action route was one moment to the east, the next to the west, and even adopted the method of marching at night, concealing the reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army, and in the early morning of October 17, the siege of Yangjiapu was completed. It is worth noting that in this operation, Takeuchi Anshou, the old devil, did not bring a puppet army, the purpose was to prevent the leakage of secrets, in the end, his plan succeeded, the result of the battle was that the Japanese army only died two people, the Eighth Route Army JiRebian Special Committee Standing Committee Standing Committee, organization director Zhou Wenbin, deputy secretary general of the special committee Li Yi, deputy director of the Propaganda Department Lü Guang, the fourth prefectural party committee secretary and commissioner Ding Zhenjun, Jidong Military Sub-district Health Minister and political commissar Wang Shaoqi and other more than 430 cadres and fighters died heroically in the battle, more than 170 people were captured. Only more than 120 people in the Second Company of Secret Agents successfully broke through.
