At first glance at the photos, you would think it was the heroic Eighth Route Army. No! This was the "Mashiko Advance Team" sent by the Japanese devils to North China, and it was the direct culprit for the sacrifice of General Zuo Quan. On the front left is Squadron Leader Masuko

At first glance at the photos, you would think it was the heroic Eighth Route Army. No! This was the "Mashiko Advance Team" sent by the Japanese devils to North China, and it was the direct culprit for the sacrifice of General Zuo Quan.

The former left is squadron leader Mashiko Shigeo.

In May 1942, the Japanese army launched a "May Day sweep" of the anti-Japanese base areas in North China, and a "mainland advance team" led by Shigeo Mashiko set out ahead of schedule, with the task of reconnoitring the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and assassinating leading cadres.

The "Yizi Advance Team" was fully equipped with the Eighth Route Army, brought its own dry food, did not make a fire to cook, did not take the main road, sneaked into the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Zuoquan County, Shanxi, and reconnoitred the tracks of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the Area of Guo Jiayu.

The "Mashiko Advance Team" raid had no chance of success, and sent a telegram to the main force of the Japanese army, indicating the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was besieged by a large Japanese army at Cross Ridge, and the deputy chief of staff of the Left Quan was martyred in the fierce battle.

It's been 76 years since Japan surrendered, did the Japanese really surrender?

The Japanese will not forget China, when they can't eat sugar, they miss Taiwan, when they lack salt, they miss Changlu, when they lack coal, they miss our northeast...

To forget history is to betray! #老照片 #
