During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a traitor set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate, and he almost served the officers of a japanese brigade to a pot!
This miraculous story was widely circulated in the western Henan region, and was written into the "Wartime Series" by the Japanese army as a "classic" case, spontaneously publicized to remind the Japanese army not to believe too much in "Traitors". What is even more amazing is that 30 years later, Nisshin Tanaka Kakuei came to China and sent someone to inquire about his whereabouts.
In 1944, Guo Shaoxu, the "traitor" of Yichuan, invited Japanese officers to his home for a banquet. After many temptations and thinking that Guo Shaoxu was no problem, Yoshihiro Ochi was happy to bring 7 officers to come, but he did not expect that he was going to the legendary "Hongmen Banquet"!
Guo Shaoxu, a native of Yichuan Gezhai Township, whose grandfather was the village chief of Huangdui Village, was killed for offending the landlord's entire family, but Guo Shaoxu escaped the disaster because he went to relatives.
After hearing the news of the murder, Guo Shaoxu, who was only 12 years old, defected to the "Zhensong Army" overnight and became a small service soldier.
In the "Zhen Song Army", Guo Shaoxu hated to learn art and studied skills diligently. Seven years later, with a little fame in the army, he led his soldiers back to his hometown and avenged his family.
In the Battle of the Central Plains in 1930, Guo Shaoxu's Zhensong Army was reorganized into the 15th Army, and during the Japanese invasion, it went north to fight!
Because Guo Shaoxu was not afraid of death and brave in killing the enemy, he quickly aroused the idea of the army. At the same time that the "Chinese Expeditionary Force" recruited from various armies, Guo Shaoxu was favored by Wang Lingyun, commander of the 2nd Army in Henan Province, and became his aide-de-camp.
In early 1944, when the Japanese invaded western Henan, Wang Lingyun, who was undergoing retraining in Chongqing, could not get out, so he arranged for his aide-de-camp Guo Shaoxu and quartermaster Zhao Zihe to go to Henan and take his mother, wife and children away, so as not to be retaliated against by the Japanese.
Returning to his hometown again, Guo Shaoxu, who was originally timid, was furious!
For, from the mouths of his former brethren, he learned that his relatives and neighbors had been brutally attacked by the Japanese, and that these people had received him when he was alone. To this end, Guo Shaoxu decided to stay and avenge them!
There is no distinction between men and women in the fight against Japan, and there is no distinction between north and south in killing the enemy.
The enlightened Wang Lingyun did not stop him, but sent someone to give Guo Shaoxu a batch of obsolete weapons to support him in the local anti-Japanese resistance.
Returning to the familiar Yichuan, Guo Shaoxu immediately contacted his former brothers and some anti-Japanese righteous soldiers, and quickly formed a "self-defense group" to protect one of his neighbors from being bullied by the Japanese.
In May 1944, the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese 139th Wing occupied Yichuan, and the first thing they did was to win Guo Shaoxu over.
Guo Shaoxu was hesitant at first, but when the 3rd Brigade Shōsa Ouchi Yoshihiro agreed to let him take the position of "Commander of Security of Ikawa County", he was immediately moved.
Guo Shaoxu warmly entertained the Japanese translation officer who had come to persuade him to surrender, and the two quickly mingled.
After the Japanese translation officer returned, he praised Guo Shaoxu in front of Yoshihiro Ochi, who was moralistic and reliable!
General Yoshihiro Ouchi was suspicious, and according to his understanding, Guo Shaoxu, who was born in the 15th Army, had killed several fierce battles with the Japanese army in those years, would such a person really surrender?
In order to test Guo Shaoxu, Ouchi Yoshihiro ordered him to take the "Self-Defense Regiment" to surround and suppress the local anti-Japanese guerrillas.
Guo Shaoxu agreed with a full mouth, quickly dispatched, and seriously "fought" several battles with the local guerrillas. Soon, the local guerrillas disappeared.
At this point, Yoshihiro Ouchi believed that Guo Shaoxu was sincerely surrendering and praised him! As Guo Shaoxu became more and more trusted by rikou, everyone in the locals knew that Guo Shaoxu became a "big traitor"!
However, what Yoshihiro Ouchi and the locals don't know is that all this is Guo Shaoxu's plan!
After staying in his hometown for more than half a year, Guo Shaoxu was thinking all the time about how to avenge the townspeople, capturing the thief first, and Yoshihiro Ouchi, the captain of the 3rd Brigade, was his goal!
Since gaining Yoshihiro Ouchi's trust, Guo Shaoxu began to reach out to him, asking for money and food. Privately, Guo Shaoxu took this money and grain to continuously grow the team, and the members of the self-defense regiment soon grew to more than 600 people!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Guo Shaoxu began to warmly invite Yoshihiro Ouchi to his home for a banquet to deepen his feelings.
At this time, Yoshihiro Ouchi had already thrown his suspicions about Guo Shaoxu out of the cloud of nine clouds, and he agreed to the invitation as soon as he received it, and also brought the rest of the officers of the Japanese 3rd Brigade.
On August 25, 1944, at a tavern in Baiyuan Township, Yichuan County, Guo Shaoxu, who had ambushed a good man, respectfully welcomed Yoshihiro Ouchi and his party of 8 Japanese military officers in, and the guests and hosts talked about the wine.
After three rounds of wine, Guo Shaoxu's face was red and his ears were hot, and he raised the wine glass in one hand and crossed his waist with the other, and stood up to pay homage to Yoshihiro Uchiha.
Yoshihiro Ouchi pretended to be reserved and sat there laughing and groaning motionless, just then, a guy serving food came up behind him and put the freshly fried hot dish directly on Yoshihiro Ouchi's head!
Yoshihiro Ouchi was so burned that he screamed, and the other Japanese officers in the seat were stunned and bowed their heads and pulled out their guns!
However, Guo Shaoxu, who was quick-witted, and the guy who pretended to be waiting on the side had already pulled out his pistol... After a few gunshots, 5 Japanese officers were killed on the spot! The remaining 3 people saw that the situation was not good, and they were about to escape when they escaped from the house, but before they reached the door, they were shot and killed indiscriminately!
At this time, a small group of guards brought by Yoshihiro Ouchi was still eating wine in the next yard.
When the gunshots on this side sounded, the sound of "fried beans" also sounded next door, 4 Japanese soldiers were shot dead on the spot by the ambushed guys, and the remaining 10 Japanese soldiers struggled to resist while riding motorcycles to escape!
Guo Shaoxu's performance of this "Hongmen Banquet" almost brought the officers of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Kou to a pot, which was greatly relieved.
At dawn the next day, Nikko dispatched 3 squadrons and came to take revenge with red eyes.
However, Guo Shaoxu, who had already expected them, led them to Funiu Mountain, and when the pursuing team of The Kou entered the ambush circle, he immediately killed and injured dozens of ghosts with one order!
The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night, and the self-defense regiment killed more than 30 Japanese and wounded more than 100 people, but suffered very few casualties themselves! The morale of the Japanese Kou who had lost their troops was low, and the japanese officers who had just replaced them were ineffectively commanded, and finally had to withdraw their troops.
In order to "commemorate" this tragic lesson, the Japanese army deliberately published the deeds of "Yoshihiro Ouchi and 8 other officers were put on a pot" in the "Wartime Series", which became a "classic" case!
Since then, the Japanese who have learned their lessons have not dared to get close to the traitors, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Speaking of Guo Shaoxu, after the revenge was repaid, the locals learned that he was originally a fake traitor, and everything he did was to eliminate harm for the people.
After Guo Shaoxu fulfilled his wish for revenge, he also returned to the Chinese Expeditionary Force again and continued his anti-Japanese journey in a foreign country! The "Self-Defense Regiment" also gradually developed and grew, becoming a powerful anti-Japanese armed force in western Henan.
In January 1945, when the various units of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were assembling divisions in the area of Qicheng and Mangyou, Wang Lingyun met Guo Shaoxu, who participated in the final battle. Knowing that his family was safe and that Guo Shaoxu had actually taken all the officers of a japanese Kou brigade, Wang Lingyun repeatedly patted him on the shoulder and praised him, asking for credit for him.
After the end of the expedition, Guo Shaoxu often remembered the years of fighting against the Japanese Kou, tired of fighting the "civil war", he resolutely resigned, returned to his hometown, and became an ordinary farmer.
30 years later, when China and Japan established diplomatic relations, The Japanese Minister Tanaka Kakuei sent someone to inquire about Guo Shaoxu's whereabouts and wanted to visit him personally, because one of the 8 Japanese officers was Tanaka's relative. Unfortunately, the elderly Guo Shaoxu has passed away.
In the face of the Japanese invasion, watching one flesh and blood compatriot after another wither under the muzzle of the enemy's guns, as long as there is a bloody Chinese, they cannot tolerate this humiliation to continue to happen!
Whether to die standing or living on one's stomach, for any iron-boned Chinese, it is possible to make the right choice without thinking. Whether it is to use wisdom to give the enemy greater casualties, or to pick up weapons and face the enemy's artillery fire and charge directly, no matter which way of resistance, it is worthy of our posterity's admiration and learning.
Because this great national and patriotic spirit is the most precious!
