In 1941, the Japanese army invading China set off a wave of larger sweeps in the North China Theater, and specially transferred the senior commander of the army, Ninji Okamura, here. As soon as Gangcun Ningci arrived, he declared: Crazy counterattack, eliminate the eighth road, and avenge the battle of the hundred regiments!
It turned out that the Japanese army made such a big move in order to shame the previous hundred regiments war. Therefore, Okamura Ningji sent more than 70,000 puppet troops to order the Jin-Cha-Ji border region to be burned, killed, and looted, which is also known as the "three-light policy."
The Eighth Route Army saw that the Japanese army was menacing, and decided to abandon positional warfare, adopt mobile warfare, and quickly transfer troops to safety. As a result, the First Military Subdistrict of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region strengthened the fortifications of Lengya Mountain in Yi County, Hebei Province, to cover the transfer of large forces.
Although the terrain of Wolf Tooth Mountain is complex and surrounded by peaks, it is an excellent defensive copper wall and iron wall, but everyone still dare not take it lightly, after all, the sweep of the Japanese army is extremely fast, and the revenge is strong, if you go head-to-head with them, I am afraid that there will be less fierceness.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Japanese army to sweep through Nanqi Village and Beiqi Village below Wolf Tooth Mountain. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in charge of covering the First Military Subdistrict all concentrated their efforts and prepared to launch a battle.
Just when the Japanese army came to the foot of the Wolf Tooth Mountain, the commander Yang Chengwu found that the opponent's troops were too large, and immediately ordered the commander of the first regiment, Qiu Wei, to lead his troops to cover the withdrawal troops from the flank, while the other regiments tried to delay the Japanese advance.
At the same time, he also ordered the 3rd and 20th Regiments to take the lead in fighting in Lingxi and Liujiatai, allowing the main enemy forces to lure over, so as to confuse the direction of the enemy's attack, so as to cover Qiu Wei's withdrawal from the battlefield.
At first, the Japanese army was fooled, but when Qiu Wei led his troops to retreat, the Japanese army immediately understood the tactics of the Eighth Route Army, so the Japanese army gave an order to attack the whole line, no longer attacking the third and twenty regiments.
Yang Chengwu saw that the enemy army had changed formation, and decisively ordered Qiu Wei to lead a regiment to serve as the main cover force of the whole army, and the other regiment headquarters quickly retreated. Then, under the onslaught of the group, the speed of the Japanese advance slowed down, buying valuable time for the whole army to move.
Subsequently, only a regiment remained on the main position. At this time, the seventh company of the regiment volunteered and took on the next cover mission. I saw that the soldiers of the seventh company of a regiment took over all the remaining grenades and bullets, ready to fight to the death.
The Japanese army saw that the fire of the seventh company of the regiment was very fierce, and thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army should still be on the mountain, so they decided to fight a positional battle and fight for attrition. And this bought enough time for the rest of the regiment headquarters of the whole army to leave Langya Mountain again.
When the time was almost up, he decided to leave a squad to carry out the final cover, and this squad was the sixth squad of the seventh company of the regiment. Of course, although it is a squad, there are only five Eighth Route Army soldiers, they are: squad leader Ma Baoyu, deputy squad leader Ge Zhenlin, soldier Hu Delin, soldier Hu Fucai, and soldier Song Xueyi.
In fact, the five of them also knew what the final cover battle meant. However, none of them showed a hint of fear on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, five men divided into two groups, each equipped with a machine gun, relying on the remaining grenades, and fought the Japanese.
After that, the enemy finally found itself fooled, and hurriedly sent a large army to pursue the large force that had withdrawn from the Eighth Route Army, and sent 500 men to annihilate the five soldiers left on the mountain. Of course, the Japanese army saw that the firepower on the mountain was not reduced, and thought that there were still several hundred soldiers of the Eighth Route Army left on the mountain, so they did not dare to act rashly, but slowly advanced.
The 5 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had not many guns and ammunition left, so they had to retreat, and in order to fight the Japanese to the death, the 5 of them decided to lead the Japanese army to the peak of Wolf Tooth Mountain. As soon as the Japanese army saw the silence on the mountain, they immediately stormed the whole line and chased them all the way.
Soon after, 5 warriors were standing at the top of the Chessboard Mountain of Wolf Tooth Mountain, with hundreds of enemy troops behind them. Seeing that the ammunition in his hand was exhausted, the large stones on the ground were also smashed, and there was really no weapon available.
At this moment, the Japanese showed their bayonets and attacked the 5 fighters. Squad leader Ma Baoyu smiled and said to the other comrades: "Comrades, our task is complete!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead from the cliff and resolutely jumped down!
Next, the deputy squad leader and the other 3 soldiers also shouted "completed the task" and "Long live", and all jumped off the cliff heroically.
Later, the Eighth Route Army issued a special article praising the five heroes of Lengya Mountain for killing more than 90 enemies and finally heroically taking up their righteous deeds. However, many people think that this is nonsense, how can 5 fighters kill more than 90 enemies? Some people ridiculed: 5 people can kill 10 people, it is already very remarkable, and 90 people, nonsense!
However, these unpleasant sounds, with the appearance of two people, suddenly fell silent. And those two people were two of the five heroes of Wolf Tooth Mountain: Song Xueyi and Ge Zhenlin.
The two warriors were really alive, they were hung by the branches of the cliff, so they did not fall into the valley, and later, with the help of the common people, they survived, and I have to say, this is really a miracle.
Of course, the two fighters were incognito for a time and did not want to show their faces. However, hearing outsiders denigrate the five heroes of Wolf Tooth Mountain like this, he really couldn't sit still. So, they bravely stood up and clarified the facts.
It turned out that killing more than 90 enemies refers to their three stages from the cover of the seventh company (killing more than 40 enemies), to 5 people divided into two machine gun teams to cover (killing more than 20 enemies), and finally to the peak of Wolf Tooth Mountain to face off (killing more than 20 enemies), a total of more than 90 enemies in these three stages.
Instead of saying that when the 5 of them faced off at the peak of Wolf Tooth Mountain, they killed more than 90 enemies, just imagine, when they faced off at the peak, the bullets were exhausted, and the stones were also smashed, how could they kill more than 90 enemies? As the truth came out, many people with other intentions immediately closed their stinky mouths.
After that, the surviving two warriors, Song Xueyi and Ge Zhenlin, also recalled the past before and after the cliff jump that happened on other occasions, which also left this valuable historical fact.
Tribute to the five heroes of Langya Mountain! The heroes of the Eighth Route Army are immortal!
