In 1943, World War II was in full swing, and the momentum of the Japanese army invading China was slightly reduced, like grasshoppers subject to autumn, no longer acting recklessly. The Japanese strongholds were scattered and under a tense situation, Cangxian and Shimen Highway in Hebei carried many Japanese strongholds, of which Daguozhuang was one of them.
Daguozhuang, a stronghold hated by local residents. In this place, the leader of the puppet army squad, the traitor surnamed Xie, holds control, and he threatens and bullies the local people with his evil deeds. People pray day and night to get rid of this terrible stronghold. However, the Eighth Route Army needed to quickly remove this threat, but there were no heavy weapons available.
The Cangxian and Jiaohe brigades had long planned to eliminate the threat of Daguozhuang, but lacked suitable weapons. Eventually, they found a solution to the problem. According to intelligence, the captain surnamed Xie planned to go to He Changjie to participate in the meeting, and only took one entourage with him and set off on a bicycle. This seems like a rare opportunity.
So, the political commissar of the brigade, Zhao Qiang, sent two scouts, Hao Qi and Xiao Jiang, to give them a dangerous and crucial task: to capture alive the leader of the puppet army surnamed Xie.
Hao Qi and Jiang Xiao arrived at Lingcheng Temple and made contact with the local guerrillas. Early the next morning, they blended into the crowd, dressed as manure pickers, and quietly hid their pistols in their arms. Their goal is clear: wait for the arrival of the captain surnamed Xie.
However, time seemed to pass slowly, and they waited anxiously. The higher the sun rises, the more anxiety becomes more pronounced. Suddenly, two bicycles came from a distance, and Hao Qi immediately recognized one of them as the captain surnamed Xie.
Hao Qi and Xiao Jiang pretended to collect manure on the side of the road, kept a certain distance, and approached the bicycle. The captain surnamed Xie gradually approached his entourage, and his mood became more and more excited. When the bicycle reached the distance, Hao Qi suddenly pulled out his pistol and shouted: "Stop! Don't move! The captain surnamed Xie was so frightened that he jumped off his bicycle, dropped the vehicle, and tried to escape. The entourage also wanted to turn around and leave, but the captain surnamed Xie quickly caught up with him, pushed him down, returned to the bike, and pedaled desperately.
Hao Qi rode the bicycle abandoned by the captain surnamed Xie and chased after him. However, no matter how much he urged, the captain surnamed Xie was unwilling to stop. The distance was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Hao Qi saw the action of the captain surnamed Xie reaching out and pulling out his gun. In a hurry, he rushed forward and struck the hand of the captain surnamed Xie with his fist, so that he could not take the gun. Immediately, Hao Qi stopped him, and the captain surnamed Xie handed over the pistol on his body. Hao got up and searched, and sure enough, he found another small-caliber pistol.
Hao Qi ordered the captain surnamed Xie to push the bicycle back, and then check on Xiao Jiang's situation. Xiao Jiang was blushing, preparing a pistol and threatening his entourage. He was only 15 years old and had just joined the army, and this was his first mission, full of excitement.
Subsequently, Hao Qi and Xiao Jiang brought the captain surnamed Xie back to the base of the Eighth Route Army. The captain surnamed Xie refused to cooperate at first, but in the face of interrogation by the political commissar Zhao Qiang, he finally reluctantly agreed to assist the Eighth Route Army in capturing Daguozhuang.
Political Commissar Zhao Qiang asked the captain surnamed Xie to write a letter saying that the meeting was delayed, he could not return on time, and he should pay attention to the sound of the door at night. The letter was delivered to the target location through internal channels.
As night fell, the Eighth Route Army began to implement its plan. Hao Qi and another scout led the captain surnamed Xie to Daguozhuang, and the captain surnamed Xie did not say a word, and people came out of the watchtower one by one, lined up, and prepared to receive the captain's training.
However, the Eighth Route Army team had quietly surrounded the entire field, threatening the puppet army team with gunpoint. Political Commissar Zhao Qiang personally went out and issued a message to the puppet army team, demanding that they hand over their weapons.
In this operation, the Eighth Route Army successfully captured 43 puppet soldiers without firing a single shot.
Although the operation was dangerous, it also demonstrated the resourcefulness and determination of the Eighth Route Army, and the decisive leadership of Political Commissar Zhao Qiang was the key to victory.
