During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi carried out a ruse, but was defeated by a company of the Eighth Route Army. In this battle, there was an amazing combat hero, he was Kang Bingxian, the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army. In the case of a sharp weapon inserted by the Japanese army, he insisted on fighting with wounds until the victory of the battle, and his heroic spirit was praised by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
Around 1943, the Jiushen Division, known as the elite unit of the Japanese army, opened a non-commissioned officer school in Changzi County, Shanxi Province, with the purpose of training Japanese officers. These guys were tricked by the school magistrate and discussed a sinister trick to test their "learning results."
After careful preparation, these guys all disguised themselves as Chinese militiamen, bypassed crowded villages and garrison checkpoints along the road, and did not hesitate to wade through mountains and rivers to sneak into Anze County, which is located in the core area of the anti-Japanese base area.
What kind of wishful thinking is the enemy playing? Their plan was to attack the Taiyue base area from a distance and prepare to launch a surprise attack to wipe out the anti-Japanese leading organs. In order to hide their eyes and ears, these Japanese troops marched at night, and during the day they hid in mountain caves.
After this group of Japanese troops entered the territory of Anze County, although they acted very low-key, they were still detected by the local people with high vigilance and some unusual things. They thought that the appearance of this so-called "militia" was really very suspicious, so they reported this situation to the Fifty-seventh Regiment of the First Brigade of the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.
When the commander of the Fifty-seventh Regiment learned of this, he was taken aback and attached great importance to it, and immediately ordered the first battalion and two companies to take action to annihilate this group of enemies of unknown origin.
The Second Company was a company that could attack and defend well and fight skillfully; it won the first place in assassination, bombing, and shooting at the divisional games of the 129th Division's military competition, and was one of the outstanding companies that were collectively rewarded by the conference. After accepting the task, the second company advanced to the predetermined position overnight.
The second company and the first platoon were avant-garde platoons, and Wang Zhankui, the reconnaissance squad leader who was at the forefront, was suddenly ambushed when he led the second squad into the 1405 heights of Momi'ao in Antai Mountain. The Japanese army, armed with a rifle with a dangling bayonet on it, shouted "kill" and pounced on the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Zhankui alertly used the terrain to lie down on the ground, shoot, and then throw a new grenade, and several enemies in front of him fell down in response, and a row of sharp soldiers quickly entered the battle.
A platoon leader Kang Bingxian, at the moment of the opportunity, bravely and calmly commanded the entire platoon to meet the enemy at the moment when Wang Zhankui threw a grenade to explode. He first threw a grenade at the enemy, and in the instant of the explosion, while the enemy was confused, he shouted: "Follow me, rush!" "Shook the whole hill.
A platoon of warriors, like tigers preying, followed the platoon leader to the 1405 heights and engaged in a fierce white-knife fight with the enemy. Fight a row of hard thorns and fight the enemy in the night light. Groups of enemies fell, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also suffered some casualties.
Kang Hit the enemy on the opposite side with the shell gun in his hand, and a Japanese devil on the flank took the opportunity to stab his bayonet into his shoulder blade. Kang Bingxian, who was brave and composed and had rich experience, quickly grasped the circlip of the enemy's bayonet with his hand, and when the enemy drew his sword and collected the gun, the bayonet remained on Kang Bingxian's body and dangled on his shoulder.
This amazing move made the devil frightened, pulled out his leg and ran back. Kang Bingxian took the gun and shot at him, and the ghost did not run far before falling to the ground.
Then, an enemy attacked the Eighth Route Army from both sides. Kang Bingxian grabbed the bayonet in one hand and continued to command the whole platoon to fight the enemy, while the shell gun in the other hand continued to shoot the enemy.
On this small mountain, for a moment, the swords and swords were shadowed, and the warriors of the Eighth Route Army were fighting with the enemy. The enemy rarely encountered such a good opponent, the enemy who rushed up the mountain ridge was already more than half dead and wounded, and the living members of the Japanese non-commissioned officer team retreated to their main positions in a hurry.
Kang Bingxian held a sharp knife in his hand, still commanding the entire platoon to pursue and kill the fleeing enemy. At this time, the company commander with two or three platoons also rushed to the head of Antai Mountain and attacked the enemy from three sides. The retreating enemy retreated to the main position. The company commander ordered a platoon to temporarily assemble on the spot and pursue the enemy with two or three platoons.
Kang Bingxian sat on the ground, holding the Japanese bayonet that had not yet been pulled out of his left shoulder bone, and organized the whole platoon to assemble, ready to fight again.
At this moment, the hygienist who came up found that the clothes behind Kang Bingxian's chest and chest were all infiltrated with blood, and when he looked up, he saw that there was a bayonet in his shoulder bone, and hurriedly stepped forward to try to pull out the sharp knife.
Kang Bingxian gritted his teeth and endured the pain, stood up on the shoulder of the hygienist, and ordered the second squad leader: "You quickly count, reorganize the troops, and prepare for battle!" Then he announced, "I will be replaced by the second squad leader." After explaining this, he put one hand on the hygienist's shoulder and walked toward the emergency station. The second squad leader commanded the whole platoon and threw himself into battle again.
After a fierce battle, the enemy was killed and wounded everywhere, and the living enemy saw that the situation was not good and rushed to the same road to flee. The second company took two more hills.
The Japanese non-commissioned officers retreated to the last hill and tried to resist the Eighth Route Army to the end, waiting for reinforcements to receive. The backbone non-commissioned officer cadet corps of the so-called "Grand Imperial Japanese Army" tasted the strength of the Eighth Route Army.
The next day, under the cover of two planes and reinforcements, they dropped dozens of corpses and carried the wounded soldiers to Changzi County. The enemy's attempt at this long-distance attack ended in failure.
After the Battle of AnTaishan, Kang Bingxian was rewarded and praised by the regiment and the military district organs. Since then, Kang Bingxian's "story of a bayonet" and his heroic and fearless fighting spirit have been widely circulated among the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
