During the Anti-Japanese War, Han Zhen, the commander of the third platoon of the 115th Division, led more than 20 people to quietly kill the Japanese sentries, lift the cannons in the courtyard, and a soldier went to the stable to lead the horse. It turned out that he stepped on the head of a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier was trampled on and screamed in pain.
In 1941, in a small village covered with snowflakes in northern China, Han Zhenzheng, the platoon commander of the third platoon of the 115th Division, led more than 20 of his soldiers on a secret mission. Han Zhen, an experienced soldier, aims to capture an important position occupied by the Japanese army. This position was located in a secluded valley, where the heavy fire of the Japanese army was stored - a cannon and a large amount of ammunition.
By the time the mission began, it was getting late, and the valley was covered in thick night and snow. Han Zhen and his warriors weaved through the heavy snow, trying to avoid making any noise. They first approached the Japanese sentry station in the dark, and several soldiers quietly eliminated the sentry without arousing any alarm.
As the sentries fell silent, they quickly entered the courtyard, where several soldiers were responsible for carrying the cannons, preparing to transport them out. At this time, a soldier was ordered to go to the stable to lead the horse in order to carry the cannon. He had just stepped into the stable when suddenly a scream pierced the night sky, and it turned out that he had accidentally stepped on the head of a Japanese soldier hiding in the hay. Alarmed by the oppressive screams of pain, the other Japanese soldiers in the stable woke up and began to scream.
This scream was like an alarm, and it instantly alarmed the entire courtyard. The Japanese soldiers blew their whistles while shouting. What was planned to be done quietly suddenly became complicated. When Han Zhen heard the movement, he immediately made a decision and ordered the soldiers to strafe the stables in an attempt to silence the enemy's voice.
When the Japanese soldiers in the courtyard heard the noise, they took up their weapons and rushed out. In this sudden chaos, Han Zhen understood that it was no longer beneficial to continue to stay here, and commanded the team to fight and retreat. Under the cover of darkness and wind and snow, they took advantage of the familiar terrain and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
On the way to retreat, Han Zhen had mixed feelings in his heart. The original plan was to directly attack the Japanese troops in Baiyan Town after carrying the artillery at night, but after the plan failed, he could only hurriedly report the situation to the regiment commander Zhang Renchu. After receiving the report, Zhang Renchu immediately reassessed the situation on the battlefield and learned that the Japanese army was preparing to attack Baiyan with all his might.
In the shadow of the war, the peaceful town of Baiyan suddenly became a key battlefield in the Anti-Japanese War. When night falls, heavy clouds obscure the moonlight, and everything seems to fall silent. However, for Han Zhen and his three platoon soldiers, the night was full of tension and unease.
After receiving the order from the regiment commander Zhang Renchu, Han Zhen immediately realized that what they had to face was far from an ordinary challenge. According to the latest intelligence, the Japanese army not only amassed a large number of troops in Baiyan Town, but also may be supported by the nearby strongholds of Guanzhuang and Liangqiu. This meant that Han Zhen's three platoons would have to fight against enemies several times their size.
Han Zhen calmly mobilized the team and organized the soldiers to make a brief but rapid deployment. They had to take advantage of the terrain of Hakuhiko, especially the narrow streets and sturdy dwellings, to defend it. Han Zhen assigned several snipers to hide in the town's high-rise buildings, while machine gun points were set up to cover the main entrances, while other fighters were scattered at various strategic points to prepare for the Japanese attack.
It was late at night, and the wind was bitterly cold. Han Zhen stood in a hidden corner, observing the enemy through a telescope. Suddenly, the flickering of lights in the distance caught his attention. The Japanese seemed to have begun to move, and the enemy could be faintly seen moving quietly in the lights. Han Zhen took a deep breath of cold air, knowing that a big war was about to break out.
Soon, the silence of the night was broken by a dense burst of gunfire, and the vanguard of the Japanese army poured into the town of Hakuhiko like a tidal wave. Han Zhen decisively ordered everyone to open fire. In a hail of bullets, the fighters accurately suppressed the first wave of the offensive. The Japanese army obviously did not expect such stubborn resistance here, and for a time it seemed a little scrambling.
However, the number of enemies was simply too large, and it seemed that reinforcements were constantly joining the battle. As time passed, Han Zhen's fighters also began to feel the pressure. Ammo began to run out, while the enemy continued to push into the town.
At this critical juncture, Han Zhen made a bold decision - to leave a small group of fighters to continue to resist on the front line, while he personally led the other fighters to break through and try to launch an attack from the enemy's flank to distract the enemy's firepower. It was a risky move, but the only way they could find to potentially reverse the situation.
On this night, the fighting continued almost the entire night. Han Zhen and his fighters showed extraordinary courage and perseverance. They fought to the death with the enemy in the streets, between houses, and even in ruins. Every corner is a heroic story of the Anti-Japanese War.
Eventually, as the sky turned white, the battle subsided. Although Han Zhen was unable to completely stop the advance of the Japanese army, he and his fighters gained valuable time and provided an opportunity for Zhang Renchu's main force to arrive. Despite the great sacrifices, the heroic performance of Han Zhen and his warriors became the brightest stars before dawn that winter.
With the end of the battle, Zhang Renchu's main force finally arrived at Baiyan Town and launched a final decisive battle with the remnants of the Japanese army. This battle is not only a contest of tactics, but also a test of will. And Han Zhen and his three platoons of soldiers undoubtedly proved that they were heroes in the Anti-Japanese War.
