During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there was a saying among the Japanese: "If you are not afraid of the sky, you are not afraid of the earth, you are afraid of running into Boss Hu." "This Boss Hu is Hu Bingyun."
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hu Bingyun served as the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 685th Regiment in the Eighth Route Army. In August 1938, Hu Bingyun's troops won victories in the war in Guangyang, Wucheng, Jinggou and other places, and the 685th Regiment was ordered to go to the Sulu Yu Border Region, with Hu Bingyun as the commander of the 1st Brigade.
In July 1939, when the 685th Regiment passed through the Area of Juning, the troops camped on the spot and rested for a while. Their actions were extremely covert, beware of the local Japanese army, so they quietly scattered and sneaked into the surrounding villages.
Who knows, the Japanese army in Juning suddenly sent a squadron to drive to the village to collect supplies. When they passed weiwa village, they happened to see the big watermelon rolling in the field, and they couldn't help but have a dry mouth, so they immediately stopped the car and ran to the field to hold the watermelon and nibble it. They also stared at the movement in the village from time to time, watching out for the eight roads around them.
Sure enough, after a while, they saw people in gray cloth uniforms, and they were immediately frightened, and when they threw away their watermelons, they picked up their guns and started fighting.
The 685th Regiment had a unit stationed in the village of Weiwa. Due to the peculiar terrain of Weiwa Village, the surrounding area of the village is full of trenches that are one foot deep, and there is a large gate at the entrance of the village, so the Eighth Route Army relaxed their vigilance and did not arrange sentries outside the village.
The Japanese crouched on the field to eat watermelon, and they were always on the lookout for the Eighth Route Army around them. The Eighth Route Army was haunted, and they were always attacked without paying attention, and they were frightened and had to be vigilant at all times.
That day was noon, the sun was scorching the earth, the village was quiet, and there were no villagers walking around, the Japanese army was preparing to relax its vigilance and concentrate on eating watermelon, when suddenly some soldiers saw that there seemed to be gray cloth military uniforms in the village, which could frighten them a lot, and immediately shouted loudly: "There are eight roads and eight roads." ”
The Japanese troops in the field immediately threw away the watermelon, and they took their guns and walked towards the village. The Eighth Route Army in the village also heard the movement, and the Eighth Route Army crouching at the gate immediately hoisted the suspension bridge outside the village gate, and others also came to the village entrance to hide in place and prepare for battle.
When the Japanese army came to the mouth of the village, whether they saw people or not, it was a random shot, and for a time, the sound of gunfire was incessant. The Eighth Route Army, stationed in other surrounding villages, heard gunfire and knew that it was the Japanese who had entered Weiwa Village. Hu Bingyun was also outside the village, and he immediately sorted out the team and led everyone to support.
Due to the natural geographical advantages of Weiwa Village, the Japanese army arrived before they could break through Hu Bingyun, and they counterattacked the Japanese army outside the village, the Japanese army was sandwiched in the middle, the belly and back were attacked, and soon fell behind, they had countless casualties, and could only retreat in a hurry.
After the Japanese drove away, Hu Bingyun ordered an immediate retreat, taking all the villagers with him. Sure enough, not long after they left, the Japanese army came in a huge car, but at this time there were still people in the village, and they pounced.
In this way, Hu Bingyun advanced all the way toward the Sulu-Yu Border Region, and the contingent of the army was also expanded a lot along the way, and many young and middle-aged people with ideals and strength joined the army. In October, Hu Bingyun was repeatedly hindered when passing through the Feng Temple, and the local Japanese troops were stationed between Lingbi and Sixian, which greatly affected the itinerary of the Eighth Route Army. Hu Bingyun thought that since he couldn't hide, he had to destroy them.
Hu Bingyun sent the Eighth Route Army to investigate the situation of the Japanese army and found that there were only more than twenty people stationed at the site. Hu Bingyun thought about it and decided to send a small group of people disguised as villagers to infiltrate the Japanese stronghold first, and then join forces with the Eight Roads outside the stronghold to sandwich the more than twenty Japanese troops in the middle and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
But the infiltration of the stronghold did not go so well, they disguised themselves as villagers, and a platoon leader spoke a few words of foreign language, which aroused the suspicion of the Japanese army. Seeing that it was about to be exposed, the platoon leader did not care so much, and the local fire opened on the Japanese army.
The eight-way gunshots outside the stronghold were shocked, and their hearts were broken, and the original plan failed. But there was no time to take care of the original plan, which had already been shot and was in urgent need of support.
In this way, they quickly broke through the stronghold, and more than twenty Japanese troops could not fight and had been hiding in the turret to delay time, trying to wait for their reinforcements to come. The Eighth Route Army understood the need for a quick battle and a quick decision to eliminate these two dozen Japanese troops, and it could not wait for their reinforcements to arrive, denying that it would not be able to defeat the enemy with its own weapons and equipment.
Since the Japanese army hid in the turret and could not attack it, they burned the Japanese army to death on it. Balu held a few bundles of firewood and piled them under the gun tower, poured kerosene, and lit a fire. Soon, the two dozen Japanese troops became coke.
Hu Bingyun successfully captured this stronghold, and after the fierce battle, they were clearing the battlefield, and the inspectors outside came to the news and found the figure of the Japanese army. The number of Japanese soldiers who came this time was huge, more than five hundred, and they came in cars and high guns.
Hu Bingyun immediately ordered: "You are staying inside the village, and I will lead the team to go outside the village to help." Hu Bingyun went out with two battalions of soldiers, and they were ambushed on the way into the village. Another battalion was stationed in the village, ambushing at the mouth of the village.
As night fell, the Japanese army got closer and closer, and the eight roads of a battalion took the lead in firing, and the two sides fought. Hu Bingyun's unit was still in ambush and did not move. Hu Bingyun was waiting, waiting for the sky to be completely dark. Soon, it was dark, Hu Bingyun waved a big hand, and the ambushed Eighth Route Army could not wait to copy it up and launch an attack on the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army was already in disarray, and one after another eight roads fired at them, and at this time, they were already confused, and even suspected that there would be a sudden attack on the eight roads later. They did not dare to fight again, and quickly turned the front of the car and prepared to run.
The Eighth Route Army is different from the Japanese army, Japan is very arrogant during the day, but the Eighth Route Army is very good at night combat, at this time the Eighth Route Army completely has the upper hand, Hu Bingyun ordered to hit the iron while it is hot, and the more than five hundred Japanese soldiers died and were wounded, and the remaining more than a hundred people fled into the wilderness. Hu Bingyun once again repelled the Japanese and won the victory.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Communist Party won the victory by relying on this "inconspicuous" Eighth Route Army, don't look at them without anti-aircraft guns, but with the wisdom of life and exquisite combat arrangements, they repelled the Japanese army again and again.
