On July 25, 1943, in the town of Laoxian County, Han Yilin, an underground party member who had been lurking in the enemy's stronghold, learned a definite news: the Japanese puppet army in the old county stronghold had been killed

On July 25, 1943, in the town of Leling Old County, Han Yilin, an underground party member who had been lurking in the enemy's stronghold, learned a definite news:

The Japanese puppet army in the old county stronghold was ordered to prepare to march to the northeast of Yanshan County the day after tomorrow to sweep up our base area.

That night, Han Yilin handed over the news to the liaison officer of the traffic station, Liu Zhaorong, and asked him to inform his superiors as soon as possible and make preparations as soon as possible.

Han Yilin originally thought that after he sent the news, the comrades in the base area would be able to move and retreat as soon as possible to avoid losses.

However, the next day, he Zhimin, the head of the district, knocked on Han Yilin's door and proposed another plan for the target.

After carefully inquiring about the detailed movements of the Japanese puppet army, He Zhimin asked Han Yilin a question:

"How many people did the Japanese puppet army leave to guard the stronghold this time?"

"There is only one squad of the pseudo-guard in the stronghold, and there are two people guarding the police station on East Street." Han Yilin answered, and a bold thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood why He Zhimin had come to find himself in person.

"Grab the grain?!"

Han Yilin looked at He Zhimin and asked excitedly in a low voice.

It turned out that at this moment, in the warehouse where the former puppet army self-defense regiment was stationed on North Street, there were 100,000 kilograms of grain. And these grains were all looted and looted by the puppet army from the hands of ordinary people in the surrounding villages.

Now that the enemy is pouring out, it is a good opportunity for our side to regain its grain.

In the afternoon of the same day, He Zhimin and Han Yilin carefully analyzed the enemy's garrison at home and immediately planned a detailed plan for capturing grain.

Two days later, the large troops of the Japanese puppet army were mobilized, and the Japanese army at that time could not have imagined that in just these two days, Wang Xin, the mayor of the first district of Leling, led more than 200 grain snatchers from villages on the south and north banks of the Southern and Northern Banks of the Manjin River, and had already infiltrated the old county stronghold in batches.

Just waiting for the large Japanese troops to leave.

That night, Wang Xin divided the twelve Youth Resistance Pioneers around him into two groups, one group of which went to control the two puppet soldiers in the pseudo-police station.

The other group, led by Ho Chi Man, came to the left-behind garrison of the South Street Puppet Army Guard.

When it was dark, the puppet army sentry saw several people with guns approaching the station, and immediately pulled the bolt of the gun, pointed at He Zhimin and the others, and asked:

"Who?"

"We are the Eighth Route Army, you are already surrounded, don't shoot, and don't think about sending letters to the Japanese army." Now that there are thousands of Eighth Route Army troops outside this city, don't be blind.

This time we came for food, and it is not difficult for you, you should sleep, don't come out. He Zhimin shouted loudly at the sentry, and after the other party listened, he did not doubt that there was him, put away the gun and immediately ran back in a hurry.

Then, on the side of the puppet army that remained behind, there was no more movement.

The grain grab operation was immediately launched.

That night, the grain snatching team wrapped in white towels on their arms began to rush from all over the stronghold to the grain warehouse on North Street, and after everyone shook open their pockets, they quickly packed the corn and millet in the stronghold warehouse into their pockets.

That night, the grain snatching team carried the grain from the old county town warehouse to the crop field in Xi'erli, and carried it back and forth four or five times, until four o'clock in the morning, and finally carried the grain in the warehouse thoroughly.

A few days later, when the Japanese puppet army, which had no results, returned to the old county stronghold in despair, faced with an empty granary, it suddenly jumped like a thunderbolt, but there was nothing to do.

At this time, the 100,000 catties of grain had long been transferred by our side to a safe and reliable place, and the enemy's sweep not only had no effect, but on the contrary, it lost the lady and folded the troops, and could not help but be annoyed.

During the years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many heroes of the War of Resistance created many legends of the War of Resistance, and although these legends are little known, they can't help but feel emotions every time they read them.

Paying tribute to those unsung heroes of that year, it is precisely because of their rise that this mountain and river, even if it is broken and untidy, is still tenacious.
