During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japanese Lieutenant General Norihide Abe was killed in Taihang Mountain, becoming the highest-ranking Japanese general killed by the Eighth Route Army in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Many people only know that Abe Norihide was killed by the troops of Yang Chengwu, commander of the First Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, and do not know who played a key role in the Loess Ridge operation.
He was Major General Zeng Yongya.
The Battle of Loess Ridge was divided into two phases.
In the first stage, the Japanese army mobilized 20,000 troops to carry out a winter "sweep" of the Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area. After the enemy of Laiyuan City left the city, he was lured to Yansu Cliff by Zeng Yongya, the leader of the three guerrilla detachments of the First Army Division, and annihilated. To this end, after Abe Nori learned about it, he personally led 1500 people to take revenge on the mop-up.
When Abe Norihide led his troops to pounce on the air many times, he set fire to the town of Yinfang. Then, he went straight to Fuping, the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, with the aim of fighting a decisive battle with Nie Rongzhen.
In order to smash the enemy's sweep, the superiors still let Zeng Yongya's three detachments lure them into the bait and lure the Japanese army to the loess ridge ambush circle.
Abe Ishihide is good at mountain warfare, not only fierce but also cunning, and will not be easily deceived. He knew that the direction of Loess Ridge was a narrow strip of land, there was no Eighth Route Army garrison, and he knew that he was luring himself into the ambush circle. This made Zeng Yongya feel that she had encountered a hard stubble, but she knew that the other party was Abe Norihide.
In order to get the enemy hooked, before the war, he borrowed hundreds of sets of uniforms of the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army and let the guerrillas wear them. Zeng Yongya lured the enemy to go in the opposite direction, abandoning the traditional "show of weakness" of losing armor and armor, but instead hitting hard, posing as the main force, so that the enemy army mistakenly thought that it was the main force.
After several rounds of competition, the Japanese army also seems to have found some clues. Seeing that the enemy was about to be decoupled, he made up his mind to abandon a little old money and throw away the heavy weapons in the army, like heavy machine guns. The machine gunner was extremely reluctant, this was all in exchange for the lives of many soldiers, how to say that it was lost, and zeng Yongya knelt down, hoping to change his mind.
Zeng Yongya said: I can't give up my children, I can't put a wolf on it.
Not only did the heavy machine gun have to be thrown away, but his beloved briefcase, which contained some reusables. When the enemy picked it up, he believed that it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and began to bite it, and finally successfully lured him to loess ridge.
In the Battle of Loess Ridge, if it were not for Zeng Yongya's efforts to find ways to lead the enemy over at all costs, there would be no such brilliant results later.
