On May 1, 1942, the Japanese chief Okamura Ninji gathered more than 50,000 Japanese puppet troops, and with the cooperation of the air force, dispatched hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and launched an unprecedented and cruel "iron wall encirclement" sweep against the soldiers and civilians in Hebei.
By early June 1942, the Japanese puppet army occupied all the county seats and larger market towns and villages in the Jizhong base area, established more than 1,700 strongholds, dug more than 4,000 kilometers of blockade ditches, and divided the Jizhong base area into more than 2,600 pieces.
Faced with the grim situation, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army in a timely manner, while some units persisted in the struggle behind enemy lines and were scattered in various villages and districts to carry out localized management. Many battalion and company-level cadres were sent down to the grass-roots level and served as county brigade leaders and district squad leaders.
The Japanese army invaded China "sweeping"
Located in the southeast corner of Wen'an County, Jiang Zhuangzi is a large village between Wen'an and Dacheng counties. Since the May Day sweep, the Japanese army has set up an important stronghold in Jiangzhuangzi. Led by a leader who called himself the "Commander", the team was stationed here, equipped with weapons such as mortars and machine guns. In a vain attempt to extinguish the anti-Japanese fires of the military and people in Wen'an and Dacheng counties.
There were more than 20 Japanese soldiers living in the courtyard of a landlord in the east of the village, and more than 120 puppet troops under the hardcore traitor Chai Enbo were stationed at the west end of the village.
At that time, due to the frequent sweeping of the base areas by the Japanese puppet army, the troops of the Jizhong Military Region suffered heavy losses in numbers and equipment, and the Wen'an County Brigade had more than 300 people, except for the county party committee guard platoon, which had 3 79 rifles and a barge gun, and the other district squads did not have a single rifle.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese puppet army sent troops from the stronghold to the countryside all day long to engage in "three lights", and sometimes a Japanese army with 5 puppet troops dared to burn and loot in the village.
This group of jackals brutalized the people and pulled out this "nail" became the common wish of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. However, the county brigade lacked guns and ammunition, and could not even fight an ambush battle, so it could only passively transfer.
How can I unplug this "nail"? The county party committee entrusted this task to Jiang Shiru, who had just returned from training in the military region.
Jiang Shiru was a native of Jiang Zhuangzi, from a poor peasant background, who had previously served as a company commander of the main force regiment, and after the localization of the main force, he was sent to the district squad as an instructor.
He first organized district squads and militia guerrilla groups to carefully analyze the enemy situation and study countermeasures. In a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, to accomplish this task, we can only take it wisely, not attack it forcefully. If you want to outsmart, you must first understand the situation of the enemy.
Anti-Japanese militia in Central Hebei
Jiang Shiru concentrated everyone's opinions; on the one hand, he sent guerrillas and militiamen to lend the Japanese army the opportunity to repair the bunkers to observe the terrain; on the other hand, in view of the opportunity for the enemy to have two "small bodyguards," he sent Huang Xianzhou and Jin Chongde, two teenage children from poor and lower-middle peasants, to break into the enemy's interior.
The two children were very clever, and during the day they took advantage of the opportunity to sweep the enemy's water and sweep the floor, and soon they knew the number of Japanese troops, guns, ammunition, and the rules of life:
The Japanese leader who called himself the "commander" and a "small messenger" lived in the west wing with no heavy weapons; the east wing was an ammunition depot; the remaining 23 Japanese soldiers, concentrated in the 5 north rooms connected by the mountain, were equipped with two crooked machine guns and two grenadiers, and the rest each had a "three-eight big cover".
During the day, there are mobile sentries under the room, and the door closes when it is not dark at night; there are mast lamps hanging around the room, more than two feet away, which illuminate the upper and lower rooms of the room. There is also a group of wolf dogs in the courtyard, and the slightest movement will bark.
The Japanese army thought that with such a tight defense, it would be safe, so it often played cards and gambled at night, could not sleep in the morning, set out at noon to sweep, and returned at dusk.
It was only every day when the sun first appeared that the "commander" went to the room to inspect the room a few times, to see if there was any movement around, and then went down to the room with the guard post in the room to rest. Then the "little messenger" came out and opened the door.

Jiang Shiru listened to the reports of the two small scouts and immediately summoned the leaders of the district squad and the leaders of the village militias to study the battle plan together. Everyone finally decided: taking advantage of the fact that the enemy could not sleep in the morning, he sent a crack commando team to rush into the enemy's nest and catch him off guard.
At this time, some comrades proposed that what if they entered the house and engaged the enemy's short soldiers, what if there was no gun? Jia Junting, the leader of the villagers' militia known as "Hercules", came up with a hard method, he waved his powerful arm and said: "Without guns, each of us has a steel axe and hacks the Japanese troops to death one by one!" "When people listened, they all agreed with him.
Don't look at Jia Junting as just a village militia captain, as early as a year ago he hacked a Japanese army to death with an axe and became the backbone of the militia in the famous earthquake eight townships.
In the autumn of 1941, the Jiangzhuangzi militia in Wen'an County repelled the "sweeping" of the Japanese army several times. The enemy was ashamed and angry, and on this day, more than 100 Japanese troops and more than 200 puppet troops were dispatched to take revenge on Jiang Zhuangzi. Upon hearing the news, the militiamen immediately led the entire village to move quickly.
Jia Junting first covered up the mass transfer with the militia before returning home to pick up his wife, who had just given birth two days earlier.
By this time, the enemy had surrounded the village. Jia Junting said to his wife, "The whole village is gone, and the Japanese soldiers want to catch anything!" We're surrounded here, so let's touch it! ”
As he spoke, he grabbed a shiny axe in his hand, and the flames of killing the enemy erupted from his eyes, "Good! Today we will see how hard the japanese army's head is! ”
Jia Junting heard the "creaking" leather shoes in the courtyard, and looked through the broken window paper, and a Japanese soldier broke into the courtyard. This Japanese soldier was so big, carrying a large gun, and the tip of the bayonet flashed.
Jia Junting turned over on the kang and held an axe to stick to the gable wall. The Japanese fiercely kicked the door into the house, picked the curtain with a thorn axe, and reached into a donkey's head.
Jia Junting slashed with an axe, and the cunning enemy shrank back and did not cut. The Japanese howled and stabbed at him with bayonets.
Jia Junting threw down the axe, grabbed the gun, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, flew from the kang and pounced, throwing the Japanese army a few feet away and falling outside the house.
Jia Junting followed and pressed on the Japanese army. The Japanese army was in a hurry, and turned over violently and fell flat. The enemy used all his strength to seize the gun, and Where Jia Junting was willing to let go, he twisted it with force, clicked, and screwed the bayonet down.
The Japanese could not capture the gun, desperately struggling, and the two rolled and wrestled. Jia Junting's wife hurriedly got down from the kang and pounced on it and grabbed one of the Japanese soldiers' legs deadly.
The Japanese army was like a wounded beast, grinning its teeth and roaring as it rolled. At this time, Jia Junting "whizzed" up, pressed his knees down on the abdomen of the Japanese army with the pressure of Mount Tai.
The district squad militia meets
Just listening to the "sigh", the Japanese army turned yellow, and Jia Junting's wife handed over the axe. The Japanese army saw the shiny axe in Jia Junting's hand and resisted desperately.
"Wild Jackal, you have today too!" Jia Junting exerted all his strength, only to listen to the "click", an axe cut the Head of the Japanese Army in half!
Jia Junting stuffed the japanese corpses into the firewood shed, and the two of them picked up the baby that had just been born two days ago and quickly transferred it to someone else's house.
When it got dark, the militia harassed the enemy outside the village. Jia Junting led the family through the streets and alleys, cleverly bypassing the enemy's sentry and rushing out of the village.
Since then, Jia Junting has become famous, and was quickly promoted to the leader of the district squad, and led the district squad to continue to fight in the front line of the War of Resistance.
This time attacking the Japanese stronghold at night, Jia Junting, who was good at using an axe, took the initiative to ask for help, and the matter was half successful. Before the start, the county party committee also sent Chu Guoen, the leader of the county guerrilla brigade, and Jiang Shiru to command the battle together.
On the night of November 23, 1942, Chu and Jiang Erjin gathered together the district squad, the militia guerrilla group and relevant personnel, mobilized for battle, and announced the battle plan.
Then, from the militia guerrilla group and the district squad, 15 strong and courageous young men were selected, each with an axe, divided into five combat groups, led by Zhang Guoxi, the underground village chief who was familiar with the terrain, under the unified command of the village leader Jia Junting and the instructor Jiang Shiru.
A minute and a second passed, and the fiery red sun was revealed in the east. When the young men were in a hurry, they saw Xing Jiazhen, a poor farmer who was specially responsible for reporting the news, striding forward.
He said urgently, "The gates of the Japanese army are open!" Jia Junting ordered, "In order to avenge the villagers, rush in!" With an order, like a flock of tigers descending the mountain, 15 warriors rushed into the Japanese stronghold.
Jiang Shiru led a group and killed them first. As soon as he saw the Japanese army, he was red-eyed, rushed up, and slammed an axe at the head of a Japanese soldier, and the boy's brain plasma cracked, and he lost his dog's life without moving.
A few Japanese soldiers next to them looked at them, and a few young men who did not want to die were wielding steel axes and slashing at them, and they did not react for a while.
Just when Jiang Shiru smashed the first axe, the team leader Jia Junting's group had come to the gate of the East Nest Mountain, but the door was tightly closed. Old Jia did not push away, kicked with all his strength, "uproar", the door panel cracked, he stepped in.
The Japanese had been awakened, and a short man pounced on him, where he was shot head-on and knocked to the ground. Immediately afterward, several militiamen quickly slashed the jackals with axes, and several Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot.
The "commander" who lived in the West Wing was already frightened and uninjured, and shot indiscriminately through the window, and a militiaman picked up the captured three or eight large covers and shot him. However, in the west suite, there was a newly laid-off Japanese soldier who did not sleep, and when he heard the footsteps, he howled, and several Japanese soldiers jumped up to resist, and the axe could not be cut.
The militia heroes "gave preferential treatment" to them, directly from the Japanese barracks to find more than a dozen grenades, a violent explosion, suddenly the West Suite was filled with smoke, and the flames soared into the sky.
At this time, the guerrillas, militiamen, and the broad masses of people who were ambushed around the puppet army stronghold in the west of the village, armed with kitchen knives, wooden sticks, and dung noodles, were killing each other, "Smash the Japanese soldiers!" "Down with the traitors and traitors!" Shouts resounded through the clouds, and when the puppet army saw that things were not good, they ran and fell.
In this way, under the sudden attack of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, jiang zhuangzi's stronghold quickly collapsed. In this battle, the militia area squad sacrificed 5 people, hacked and killed 25 Japanese troops, 16 puppet troops, and captured 53 puppet troops, achieving a major victory and improving the anti-Japanese situation in Wen'an County.
