Since 1941, the Japanese army, which has been mired in the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield, has gradually shifted the focus of its offensive from the frontal battlefield to the battlefield behind the enemy in order to plunder China's manpower and material resources on a large scale and serve its "Greater East Asian Holy War". The Japanese army concentrated its forces to launch an unprecedented sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas behind our enemy lines in a vain attempt to "accomplish all its achievements in one battle." In addition, the Japanese Kou also actively bribed and lured down senior Kuomintang generals, and dozens of Nationalist generals and millions of troops defected to the Japanese army and became their accomplices.
▲ Most of the personnel of the armed engineering team are composed of backbone personnel drawn from the main force, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, and other aspects also have their own strengths
In the face of the enemy's large-scale offensive, the main forces in all base areas have suffered serious losses to varying degrees, and the area and population of the base areas have decreased. In order to cope with the deteriorating situation of struggle behind enemy lines, our army began to try to form a military engineering team, draw capable personnel from the main force, sink to the localities, mobilize the masses, and wait for the opportunity to strike at the Japanese puppet army.
▲ Our armed engineering team attacked the enemy on the road
Like the motorboat base area, the Shandong base area has also set up a military engineering team. The mysterious armed engineering team even went deep into the enemy's heavily guarded strongholds and "beheaded" the important leaders of the enemy army in order to achieve the purpose of deterring the enemy army. Changmazhuang, located in Feibei County (now renamed Mengshan County) in Linyi County, Shandong Province, is close to our Yimeng mountain base area, and after the Japanese puppet army set up a stronghold here, it often used this place as a springboard to sweep up our Yimeng Mountain, which was a great threat to our base area. Tang Yishan, the commander of the puppet army squadron in the stronghold, relied on the stronghold's fortifications to be strong, and there were trenches, deer blocks, suspension bridges, and barbed wire, and he stubbornly surrendered to the Japanese army. Although our army warned him many times, he still did not know how to restrain himself, and even threatened that "the Eighth Road of The Soil is that there is nothing I can do." For this reason, the 3rd Military Subdistrict of the Luzhong Military Region is determined to send a military engineering team to eradicate Tang Yishan as soon as possible.
▲ The Japanese puppet army went to the countryside to sweep and forced the compatriots to lead the way
On the 25th day of the lunar month in 1943, seeing that the traditional festival Spring Festival was approaching, it coincided with the big market in Changmazhuang, and the market happened to be near the bunker of the stronghold. The members of our martial arts team disguised themselves as fortune tellers, tofu sellers, and mountain people selling medicinal herbs and mixed into the market with weapons. Our army learned that Tang Yishan was a fan of drama and liked Shandong Lu opera very much, so he specially selected a martial arts team member dressed as a female artist to set up a field in an open space in the market, and sang "Yang Bajie You Chun" with a Yangqin rap. This teammate's performance has a board and an eye, and he does not lose the professional artists at all.
▲ Armed workers are destroying the enemy's communication lines
Tang Yishan, who was in the stronghold, could not resist the temptation, and he ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered and came to the storytelling hall with 2 heavily armed escorts to listen to the play. At this time, a military worker wearing top hat sunglasses, wearing a robe and a horse coat, and a rich man's style, after hearing the secret code of "Fortune Teller", paced to Tang Yishan's side, smiled with a smile on his face, pretended to know, and said that he wanted to take out foreign cigarettes to honor the captain, and then he took the opportunity to take out cigarettes, put his hand into his robe, held a pistol, and shot across the robe, firing 3 shots from Tang Yishan's leg crotch, and Tang Yishan was killed on the spot.
The main task of the armed workers' brigade is not to fight the Japanese puppet army, but to mobilize the masses
Before his 2 guards could react, the other 2 were already forcing them with their guns and handing over their weapons. The puppet troops in the bunker heard the gunshots and hurriedly lowered the suspension bridge to prepare for reinforcements, but the suspension bridge was blown up with explosives by armed workers pretending to sell tofu. Immediately after that, the members of the armed engineering team put up a notice that had written in advance to determine Tang Yishan, covered It on Tang Yishan's body, and quickly withdrew from the scene.
▲ Japanese puppet army strongholds are usually heavily guarded, but even so, they cannot stop the infiltration of the armed forces
The head of the Third Military Subdistrict of the Luzhong Military Region called the operation a "tiger's tooth extraction." Through political work and armed repression, it has played a very good role in dividing and disintegrating the pseudo-stubborn forces.
