In January 1938, Ding Bingquan was appointed commander of the 197th Division of the Nationalist Army and led his troops to participate in the "Wuhan Defense War". It was at this division that it was ready to go to the front. He also received orders that, since the Japanese army launched the second campaign to attack Changsha, he immediately led his troops to turn around and rush to Hunan, specifically stationed in the Pingjiang area, intercepting, harassing and attacking the Japanese army, and reducing the pressure on the troops of the Changsha Huiguo Army.
[Lieutenant General Ding Bingquan]
After Ding Bingquan led the 197th Division to the outskirts of Pingjiang, every day he could hear the sound of the train rumbling in the direction of Changsha, which made Ding Bingquan feel very strange, the war was so fierce, the train of the Nationalist army had long been stopped, why were there trains transporting materials so frequently, was he not afraid of the bombing of Japanese aircraft. When his subordinates told him that this was not our train, but a Japanese train transporting military supplies and ammunition in the direction of Changsha.
Isn't it ironic that the Japanese troops, which were transporting supplies and troops to Changsha, so easily drove away from our military defense zone without hindrance? It is necessary to let the materials transported by the Japanese military column not be transported to Changsha, which is the meaning of our harassment and attack on the Japanese army here.
The targets to be harassed and attacked came to Ding Bingquan's eyes so easily. With great vigor, he quickly led his staff to reconnoiter deep along the railway line, carefully inspecting the time and gap between the Japanese military trains and the defense of the troops on the military trains. In particular, Ding Bingquan saw that only a few soldiers on the Japanese military column played the role of watch guard, and the plan to combat and blow up the Japanese military column had matured in Ding Bingquan's mind.
In view of the advantage that the mountains along the railway line were luxuriant and tree-prone, which was convenient for concealment, Ding Bingquan immediately organized a commando team, took explosives and buried them under the railroad tracks, and other personnel ambushed on the hillside.
Everything was properly arranged, and it was reasonable not for Ding Bingquan to personally go to the front line to supervise the battle, and to listen to the battle report in the division headquarters, but he did not think so, because this was the first time to bomb the Japanese army, and it was necessary to be foolproof.
When Ding Bingquan and the commando team quietly came to the side of the railway, they carefully instructed the soldiers to bury the explosives well, and also calculated the time when the fuse was pulled to the time when the military column had just entered this part and exploded, so as to maximize the killing and injury of the Japanese army.
Finally, when the Japanese troops roared in, thinking that they were still driving through here as safely as ever, an unexpected situation occurred to them, and with the deafening sound of one explosive pack after another buried under the railroad tracks, the unsuspecting Japanese troops who hummed a minor tune were blown into the sky.
The terrified Japanese army, before it could organize an effective counterattack, was wiped out by the commando team commanded by Ding Bingquan. The battle ended quickly, and Ding Bingquan immediately ordered his troops to clean up the battlefield and withdraw as quickly as possible. The Japanese army, which had calculated the timetable in Changsha, waited for a long time and did not wait for the arrival of this military train, so naturally called to inquire whether the military column had been sent out from its starting station and the list of materials transported. Of course, the original original of the Japanese starting station was told to the Japanese troops who received the military column in Changsha. In the end, the Japanese army knew that this train must have been blown up by the Chinese army.
Annoyed and angry, the Japanese army, because of the concentrated force to attack Changsha, could not divide the troops to attack and sweep along the railway line, and could only send more troops on the military train to protect. At the same time, he also hung passenger cars on the military trains, and set up light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and even mortars and other firepower at the window, so as to force Ding Bingquan not to dare to harass the Japanese military trains in organizing commandos.
Ding Bingquan knew that after the Japanese army changed the way of escort, he also quickly adjusted his operational thinking, in addition to laying real and fake explosive packages on the rails to confuse the Japanese army, he also took several bundles of grenades together, when the Japanese army drove into these areas, after the speed was reduced, let the bundles of grenades go down in an instant, blowing up into the carriages of the Japanese military column, also giving the Japanese army great damage, of course, more materials were burned, which made the Japanese army headache.
On one occasion in particular, when detectives sent by Ding Bingquan returned to report that today there would be a train carrying a large number of Japanese troops going south through the Pingjiang area. After Receiving the report, Ding Bingquan immediately carried out combat deployment, he knew that this Japanese army was high in both combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment, but Ding Bingquan had a fierce force, the Japanese army you are a real tiger from my defense zone, I also want to go out and pull out a tiger tooth.
[Capture of Japanese prisoners]
How to eliminate this Japanese army, Ding Bingquan suddenly thought of better attacking the Japanese army, must not adopt the usual thinking, that will make the Japanese army take advantage. Thinking of the characteristics of gasoline burning in case of fire, he immediately asked the troops to collect dozens of gasoline barrels filled with gasoline and pile them on the railway. When the Japanese train roared in, it wanted to pass through Ding Bingquan's defense area as fast as possible. Under the order of Ding Bingquan, the soldiers responsible for shooting the gasoline barrels quickly opened fire on the gasoline barrels, and the gasoline barrels hit by the bullets burst into flames in an instant, and soon the front of the Japanese military train was blown apart, and at the same time, the first few sections of the carriage were also ignited, and a raging fire was suddenly ignited, and the Japanese troops inside the carriages were burned to the point of crying wolf howls, and jumped off the train like headless flies.
Faced with this scene, Ding Bingquan did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately ordered the troops ambushed on the mountain beams, and all light and heavy weapons to shoot fiercely at the burning train. The Japanese troops, who were not killed, could not bear the fire and had to climb out of the carriage and raise their hands. In this battle, the Japanese army was burned to death by 800 people, which made the Japanese army try to rely on rail transportation, and the plan to support the Japanese army on the Changsha front had to be stopped. Undoubtedly, it won valuable buffer time for our army in the Second Battle of Changsha.
In the winter of 1938, Ding Bingquan was ordered to lead his troops to southern Hunan to carry out a guerrilla warfare. The troops had just arrived near the county seat of Yangxin, and the local people were very happy to see the nationalist troops coming, and told them that because the county seat of Yangxin had fallen, the Japanese troops stationed in the county town thought that they had driven out the Chinese army, and there were no more anti-Japanese armed forces in the local area. They often sneaked to the outskirts of the city in groups of three or five, robbed the people of their belongings, and even raped women.
Ding Bingquan was extremely angry when he heard this news, and immediately ordered the organization of a capable force to wait for an opportunity to attack and eliminate the small group of Japanese troops harassing the people. Considering that the Japanese army is not a collective action, it belongs to the nature of scattered soldiers. In dealing with such sporadic armed forces, it is also necessary to adopt corresponding measures in order to defeat the enemy and achieve better strike results.
To this end, Ding Bingquan selected soldiers with good marksmanship and quick hands in his subordinate units to form an ambush group, took three people into a group, disguised as local farmers equipped with short guns, and appeared in the area where the scattered Japanese army often operated. At the same time, select a capable unit to choose favorable terrain to ambush well, once the ambush group fails, causing the Japanese army to escape, the Japanese army will definitely go out of the city to retaliate, then ambush in the section of the road that the Japanese army must pass, and eliminate the Japanese troops who came to die.
Ding Bingquan also took into account that the ambush group responsible for capturing scattered Japanese troops was strictly forbidden to shoot until the last resort, so as not to disturb those scattered Japanese troops and have no combat effect.
One day, 8 Japanese soldiers went out of the city to rob several villages on the outskirts of the city. When these Japanese troops returned with a full load, they thought that they could enjoy the ill-gotten gains from robbery. Their whereabouts have long been known to the ambush group, due to the large number of scattered Japanese troops this time, the ambush team only captured 3 Japanese troops, and the remaining 5 Japanese soldiers left their belongings and fled to Xiangyang new county town, and shot while running, so as to report to the Japanese army in Yangxin County.
After the Japanese troops stationed in Yangxin County heard the sound of gunfire, they quickly sent troops to the rescue, and when this Japanese army chased after the commando preset position, the commando team immediately concentrated its fire on this Japanese army and killed more than 10 Japanese troops on the spot. The Japanese army, which originally thought that it was just the intention of eliminating the bandits, did not expect to be beaten up, thinking that the large troops of the Chinese army came here, resisted a little, and could not take care of the corpses, and had to be defeated back to the city.
