The Eighth Route Army held a party, and more than 800 Japanese troops sneaked in after learning about it, and the result was that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses
Introduction: In 1939, a small detachment of the 120th Division of our Eighth Route Army was discovered by the Japanese army in North China, and the Japanese generals found that we only had more than 1,000 people, so they set out with 800 Japanese soldiers under their command. They secretly monitored our army, followed them all the way, and unknowingly entered our base area. The Japanese were quite surprised. They were all very excited, thinking that they had found our army base and were about to launch a secret attack.
On the other hand, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the officers and men of the troops were busy celebrating, and the party was even more lively. When night came, the Japanese armed with heavy weapons immediately launched an attack. As soon as the troops heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately became alert. Under the leadership of the commanders and fighters of our army, the various parts of the 120th Division quickly opened up their posture and prepared to deal with it head-on. However, when we found out the situation of the enemy, we found that only more than eight hundred devils had come. You must know that at that time, near the base area, the 120th Division had a total of more than 10,000 people, and this Japanese squad was undoubtedly fat meat for the mouth.
The commander of the 120th Division personally commanded, and he told his subordinates that the Japanese army must be completely destroyed. We first sent a battalion of troops to lure the enemy and pretended to flee. The Japanese army was about to lose it, so naturally it would not be easily let go, and they quickly pursued, but they suddenly burrowed into our pockets. The 120th Division surrounded all eight hundred of them, not even a single sparrow. The Japanese army watched so many Eighth Route Army troops suddenly emerge from the woods on the hillside, and they suddenly panicked, not knowing how to be good. The Japanese army Daisaku even decided to fight head-on.
Of course, seeing that this group of rangers was brave, we decided to directly adopt the tactic of encirclement and non-annihilation. The commander of the 120th Division judged that the enemy would definitely call for reinforcements, and we would not only have to eat these devils, but also crush their reinforcements. Sure enough, after dawn, a large number of ghosts came from the county seat, but they were ambushed by us halfway through. The devils screamed and screamed, and finally we were all killed one by one. In the end, in this battle, we destroyed more than 4,000 enemies, took 1,000 prisoners, and plundered countless weapons and ammunition. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Peng Dehuai sent a commendation order to congratulate the 120th Division on its brilliant achievements. The soldiers of the 120th Division said one after another that this was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift from the Japanese devils, how could we not want it?
Conclusion: The Japanese army is arrogant, and they dare to go alone with only eight hundred men. Obviously, this is their contempt for the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army. This time, however, the 120th Division taught them a lesson. When the Supreme Commander of the Japanese Army, Okamura Ningji, learned of this fiasco, he jumped up from his chair in anger. Among the Japanese troops, they no longer dared to underestimate the Eighth Route Army. Although we do not have advanced weapons, the Eighth Route Army's will to fight is incomparably firm.
