When contemporary people watch the anti-war drama, they feel very confused about the Japanese turret: because the structure of the turret is not strong. However, whether it was the Eighth Route Army or the Armed Workers' Brigade, every time they wanted to capture the japanese artillery towers, they needed to use outsmarting means. In fact, in the real history of anti-Japanese resistance, the devil's turret did make the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians pay a larger cost. Because of the Eighth Route Army and the Armed Workers' Brigade, there was a general shortage of ammunition, especially heavy weapons. Therefore, the attack on the turret can only rely on wisdom. In the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the most typical case was that Hong Xuezhi faced the Japanese stronghold and took down the enemy's stronghold by means of cotton soaking oil.
It is said that at that time, it was already the late stage of the War of Resistance, and under the instructions of Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army launched a counter-offensive against the Japanese Kou. Hong Xuezhi was ordered to lead a battalion of the New Fourth Army to attack the Japanese army in the Funing area.
In fact, the Japanese army at this time was also a grasshopper after the autumn, but the Japanese were still stubbornly resisting. Although the Japanese are hateful, we must admit one thing: that is, during World War II, the Engineers of the Japanese Army were dedicated. The fortifications built by the Japanese were very resistant to the impact of bullets, so the New Fourth Army and the Japanese army fought for more than three hours, but still failed to take down the enemy's stronghold. This made Hong Xuezhi feel anxious: because the longer the battle, the more unfavorable it was to our side. First, our ammunition is limited, and ending the battle as soon as possible can save a lot of ammunition. Second, if the consumption continues, reinforcements from the Japanese Kou will surely arrive, and the morale of our army may also be affected. Therefore, it is necessary to make a quick decision and end the battle quickly.
Hong Xuezhi looked at the enemy's stronghold. This stronghold, assuming that the troops they brought with them had heavy weapons in their hands, could wipe out the enemy's stronghold with just a few shells. But fantasy is useless. After all, I can't make a cannonball out. However, at this moment, Hong Xuezhi came up with an idea.
Although the troops they brought with them did not have cannons, they did have grenades. Hong Xuezhi asked the soldiers to soak the cotton in kerosene for a while, and then tied it to the grenade. Have the warriors throw these specially crafted grenades into enemy strongholds. Although the grenade explosion did not produce much explosion on the enemy stronghold. However, the fireworks brought by the explosion of the grenade made a mess in the stronghold - while the fire was burning, the choking black smoke also gathered in the stronghold, which made the enemies in the stronghold cough incessantly, and even had symptoms of tears. So the enemy fell into a state of panic. At this time, Hong Xuezhi immediately asked the machine gunner to concentrate his fire and then launch an attack. The enemy in the stronghold was caught between the inside and outside, and was finally completely destroyed by our army. A difficult stronghold was thus uprooted by our army.
It is said that Hong Xuezhi has such achievements, in fact, it lies in the training of the war years, plus he himself is good at using his brain. It is said that Hong Xuezhi was born in 1913 and has a primary school education. Of course, according to modern concepts, primary school education is similar to that of not having read books, but in the early years of the Republic of China, being able to read primary school is actually beyond most of their peers.
However, just like the current master's degree graduates who need to send couriers, Hong Xuezhi has to find some short-term jobs after graduating from primary school, in order to make a living. Fortunately, when Hong Xuezhi was 15 years old, the Red Army guerrillas came to his hometown. From this time on, Hong Xuezhi began to join the guerrillas, and later entered the regular units of the Red Army.
Modern people say that the PLA is a university. In fact, this tradition has existed as early as the era of the Red Army. After Hong Xuezhi joined the Red Army, he gained a lot of practical combat experience through the practice of war. Hong Xuezhi is a man of wit and brains, so when he leads the troops to fight, he can always make the most favorable decisions at the first time according to the actual changes in the battlefield. Therefore, as early as the era of the Red Army, Hong Xuezhi was a well-known military star in the Four Fronts Army.
During the Long March, Hong Xuezhi did a great thing that made people feel praised. At that time, the Four Fronts were forced to abandon their base areas for the Long March. But along the way, the Red Army often had to face food problems. At that time, the Red Fourth Front was operating in the southwest region, and there were many ethnic minority compatriots in the southwest region, and these ordinary people listened to the propaganda of lao Chiang Kai-shek and were prejudiced against the Red Army. It was therefore very difficult for the Red Army to intend to buy grain from them. Finally, the superiors remembered sending Hong Xuezhi to contact the chiefs of these ethnic minorities, and Hong Xuezhi was moved, which finally reassured the chiefs, and at the same time, the chiefs also found that the Red Army was indeed better than lao Chiang's troops, and the red army and the old Chiang kai-shek troops said differently. So the chiefs not only sold grain to the Red Army, but also actively helped the Red Army in the Long March.
In fact, this work is really not something that ordinary people can complete. This requires careful thinking and a high level of emotional intelligence, as well as the ability to adapt. Therefore, in the subsequent revolutionary career, such meticulous work was first considered in the organization of sending Hong Xuezhi to complete. As for outwitting the Japanese stronghold, in fact, for Hong Xuezhi, it is really not a classic example of war.
