In December 1941, the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 115th Division was stationed in the area of Yimeng Mountain Ligou and Gaojiajiayan, and suddenly 3 people and 1 dog came from the mouth of the village. The commander of the 1st Battalion on duty saw that the 3 people looked abnormal, and the dog did not bark when he saw the stranger. He immediately entered the village and shouted, "1 Battalion quickly withdraw!" ”
The resourceful and courageous battalion commander was named Wang Wenxuan, a native of Shouguang, Shandong, who studied hard when he was young. Later, Wang Wenxuan was admitted to the Shandong Provincial First Normal School, began to come into contact with revolutionary ideas, and devoted himself to the student movement. After the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Wenxuan abandoned his pen and served as the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the 115th Division's Teaching 1 Brigade, 1 Regiment, and rushed to the anti-Japanese front.
In December 1941, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment had just won a major victory and moved to the area of Ligou and Gaozhongyan in the Yimeng Mountains for troop recuperation. According to the orders of the regimental headquarters, the 1st Battalion was responsible for the vigilance task around the village to prevent the Japanese puppet army from sneaking attacks. Wang Wenxuan led the 1st Battalion of soldiers, scattered at various intersections, carefully observing the passers-by and avoiding the intrusion of Japanese and pseudo agents.
A few days later, in the morning, Wang Wenxuan was checking the guard at the entrance of the village, and when he entered the village avenue, 3 people and 1 dog suddenly came. When Wang Wenxuan saw the 3 people, he felt a trace of abnormality and felt that there was something wrong with the 3 people. It turned out that these 3 people walked up with their chests up and heads, unlike the appearance of the local people. The local people are accustomed to working in the fields, and they will walk a little hunchback, and they will not be like these 3 people, walking as if they are kicking the right steps.
Especially the dog carried by 3 people is even more surprising, that is, the dog has not barked. Even when he saw a stranger, the dog did not bark at all, unlike the farm watchdog. Just when Wang Wenxuan was preparing to order the arrest of 3 people, suddenly the 3 people turned around and ran, which further confirmed Wang Wenxuan's suspicions.
Wang Wenxuan immediately ordered: "2 companies secretly follow up to see if it is an enemy agent?" The rest of the troops quickly moved the masses, organized the withdrawal of troops, and quickly withdrew from the village! The news soon reached the regimental headquarters, and the 1st Regiment transferred the masses on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the 1st Battalion block the enemy first.
The commander of the 2nd Company returned and reported: "Battalion commander, 3 people sneaked into the Japanese Qingtuo Temple stronghold, and we withdrew." The actual situation was indeed as Wang Wenxuan expected, and after a while the scouts returned, and a group of Japanese puppet troops were dispatched from the Qingtuo Temple stronghold to the front river. Wang Wenxuan immediately ordered: "Put an empty village to the enemy, and when the enemy returns to the Qingtuo Temple, then annihilate it." ”
The Japanese puppet army entered the village of Qianheyan, found that the village was empty, and only plundered some chickens and ducks, and prepared to withdraw to the Qingtuo Temple stronghold. The murderous Japanese puppet army set fire to the houses, and the villages along the qianhe River were full of fire, and Wang Wenxuan ordered: "We must completely annihilate this group of enemies and avenge the villagers!" ”
The Japanese puppet army pounced on an empty space, holding chickens and ducks in their hands, and withdrew to the qingtuo temple stronghold and entered the encirclement of the 1st battalion. When the Japanese puppet army had all entered the encirclement, the machine guns of the 1st Battalion took the lead in firing and firing intensively at the Japanese puppet army on the road. The bomb-throwing team took out grenades and threw them at the Japanese puppet army one by one, and the road was full of smoke and soil.
After the explosion, the road was full of broken arms and legs of the Japanese puppet army, and some Japanese soldiers rolled on the ground in pain, crying and shouting. Seeing that the Japanese commander could not withdraw to the Qingtuo Temple, he ordered him to retreat to the village along the qianhe River, in a vain attempt to hold on to the reinforcements and wait for reinforcements to be sent from the stronghold.
Just at this moment, the fraternal troops who had just finished transferring the masses arrived and cut off the retreat of this group of Japanese puppet troops. The Japanese army shrank to a hill and was completely surrounded by 1 regiment, and Wang Wenxuan shouted: "Kill me, leave no one!" He led the 1st Battalion of soldiers to the top of the mountain and engaged in a white-knife battle with the stubborn Japanese puppet army.
Most of the puppet troops knelt on the ground and chose to raise their hands to surrender, shouting in their mouths: "Grandpa Eight Road, don't kill me, don't kill me." In the white-knife battle, Wang Wenxuan rushed into the enemy group, slashed left and right, and cut off the heads of the Japanese army one by one. Encouraged by the battalion commander, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army swore to fight to the death, and some soldiers were still smashing the Japanese with large stones while being seriously wounded.
At about 3:00 p.m., the Japanese army was completely annihilated, most of the puppet army was captured, and the 1st Regiment achieved brilliant results. After the war, the 1st Regiment was commended, and this battle also became a combat example for the Shandong Eighth Route Army. Wang Wenxuan, who was resourceful, was also praised by his superiors by name, and was soon promoted to regimental commander.
