In the War of Resistance Against Japan, if this animal is found, it is better not to fight the devil first, but also to eliminate it
Introduction: In 1932, the Japanese military asked the Ministry of Agriculture to breed a group of pigeons, and the Central Unification Organization that intercepted the information was very confused, they did not know what the purpose of the Japanese army was. Later, after many inquiries, this was able to understand the reason. It turned out that the Japanese were going to use carrier pigeons in the war. In Japan, many large landowners had a flock of pigeons in their homes, which they used to often share intelligence with distant officials. Therefore, the Japanese army had to reuse such an ancient way of sending letters.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army brought more than 100,000 carrier pigeons to China. In November 1937, the Japanese army divided into two roads and surrounded the Nanjing regiment, the political center of the Kuomintang. At this time, the people in Nanjing often saw flocks of pigeons flying in the sky, and they did not understand where these pigeons flew out of nowhere, until they saw the Japanese feeding them, which made them resentful of the pigeons. The Japanese military always used carrier pigeons to communicate, and they immediately shared information with each other, which caused the Nanjing defenders to suffer a big loss.
In 1941, Okamura Ordered the Japanese Army in North China to liquidate our Eighth Route Army. Once again they used carrier pigeons, and in the face-to-face battle, our soldiers noticed something unusual about these pigeons. Therefore, Boss Peng Dehuai ordered that as long as he found that there were pigeons flying in the sky, he would rather not fight the devils first, but also destroy this group of pigeons. In fact, the Japanese were scattered and unfamiliar with the terrain of North China. In the course of the liquidation and suppression, our Eighth Route Army achieved a fairly good counterattack effect in the early stage, and we surrounded the enemy and ate the enemy with several times the strength. Later, the Japanese army contacted with pigeons, and they knew more about our troop strength, and the cooperation of the various Japanese troops became very skilled.
Of course, it is very difficult for the warriors to fight the flocks of pigeons flying in the sky. However, we in the Eighth Route Army came up with other methods, that is, to feed medicine. We joined the townspeople and put poison into the diet of the pigeons while the Japanese were feeding. The Japanese pigeons were poisoned in large numbers. Other flocks of pigeons, frightened by our artillery fire, were covered by large nets we had placed on the hill, all of which became a delicacy for the warriors. In the years of fighting when food was scarce, these pigeons filled the stomachs of the vast number of warriors.
Conclusion: Doves have always represented peace, but the Japanese used them to pass on military intelligence. Such a result is indeed a lament. After the end of the War of Resistance, all the pigeons in the Japanese army headquarters were caught by the nearby people and returned home, some of the people were steamed, some were braised, and for a while, every household was doing a pigeon feast, and the scene was really shocking. Although more than seventy years have passed, we must not forget these difficult years.
