In the autumn of 1942, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most difficult period, the Third Division of the New Fourth Army, under the leadership of division commander General Huang Kecheng, advanced into Pi County, Jiangsu Province, and the division headquarters was stationed in the area of Daizhuang and Dingchang.
Early this morning, Huang Kecheng got up and went to the courtyard to think about how to carry out the struggle against the enemy while practicing in the morning.
He inadvertently looked up, and suddenly found a spider web hanging under the eaves, in addition to a lot of dew on the net, there were several small flying insects that could not move, looking at the plate of the spider that was about to become a spider.
Look at the spider, which is leisurely in the middle of the web, comfortably nibbling on one of the small bugs.
Huang Kecheng thought to himself: Spiders are really a very intelligent animal, as long as they spit out silk to tie the web, they can wait for the flying insects to throw themselves into the net and easily eat a full.
For several days, Huang Kecheng had been thinking about how to fight against the Japanese puppet army in the new situation, and now seeing spiders guarding the web to catch insects, he suddenly saw his eyes light up, and he got inspiration from it: Why not learn the strategy of spider webs to attack the Japanese puppet army?
At that time, the problem that most caused headaches to the military and people in the base areas was that the Japanese puppet army often launched "sweeps," burned and looted, and did all kinds of evil.
After Huang Kecheng exchanged his impressions of accidentally seeing spiders guarding the web to catch insects, he discussed and studied a complete set of strategies against the enemy.
One of the most important measures is the amazing tactic of "forming a net to annihilate the enemy" that is amazing.
Huang Kecheng knew that there were some eyeliners planted by the Japanese puppet army in Pi County, so he deliberately released a message: The Third Division of the New Fourth Army was about to hold a military-civilian party in Daizhuang to celebrate the success of the world proletarian revolution (that is, the 25th anniversary of the "October Revolution" in Russia).
On the day of the conference, many people rushed to participate. Huang Kecheng has ordered the Lianshui Independent Regiment to be on guard around the venue.
After the meeting officially began, Huang Kecheng took the stage to speak, vividly describing the current international and domestic situation and the main tasks of the military and the people in the base areas to jointly resist Japan.
In fact, the conference planned by Huang Kecheng is equivalent to a spider forming a web to lure the Japanese puppet army to take the initiative to cast a net.
Sure enough, shortly after the party began, more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops moved out from the strongholds of Xiangshuikouzi and Bailugou near Daizhuang, and rushed straight to the venue with great momentum.
Of course, the enemy's movements could not be concealed from Huang Kecheng, because he had already placed reliable eyeliner near the Japanese stronghold. As soon as the enemy came out of the stronghold, intelligence officers and scouts quickly reported to Huang Kecheng, and it was reported every ten minutes.
Everything was proceeding according to Huang Kecheng's plan, and he stood on the stage and quietly continued to preside over the party, but secretly he had quietly issued orders to the competent cadres to prepare all brigades and regiments for battle.
Although the Japanese puppet army rushed towards Dai Zhuang in separate ways, every trace of their movement was already in the hands of the New Fourth Army. On the only way for every enemy to pounce on Daizhuang, there were one or more new Fourth Army troops ambushed.
When the enemy entered the ambush circle, the commander of the New Fourth Army decisively issued an order to attack, and the grenades, rifles, submachine guns, and mortars in the hands of the soldiers were developed at the same time, giving the incoming enemy a head-on blow, and they were either killed on the spot or fled in a panic.
When the sound of gunfire reached The venue of Dai Zhuang, Huang Kecheng immediately ordered the Lianshui Independent Regiment to cover the safe transfer of the masses. Next, he led the remaining troops to reinforcements.
The warriors had not fought a battle for a long time, but this time they could finally get over it, they were like wild horses that had lost their reins, roaring and rushing towards the enemy group, together with the ambush troops, and attacking the Japanese puppet army.
General Huang Kecheng pinched the time very accurately, and when he saw that the troops had already defeated the enemy, he ordered everyone to move immediately. Sure enough, as soon as they had finished moving, a large force of Japanese troops was dispatched, and when they reached Daizhuang, the local soldiers and civilians were gone.
In this battle, the Third Division of the New Fourth Army killed, wounded, and captured more than 600 enemies, although this number did not meet Huang Kecheng's expectations, but it was already the most beautiful battle fought by the Third Division of the New Fourth Army since it advanced into Pi County.
The more important significance lies in the fact that through this battle, the masses in the base areas have seen the strength and wisdom of the New Fourth Army in resisting the Japanese Kou, which has greatly encouraged the confidence of the broad masses of the military and the people.
After the war, the cadres and fighters of the Third Division praised one after another: Commander Huang realized the strange plan of luring the enemy and annihilating the enemy by catching insects from spider webs, and was really an excellent commander who was good at drawing combat wisdom from daily life.
