The most essential part of bayi Studios' "Wolf Trap" movie is that the Eighth Route Army hit the Japanese command post with a mortar, killing Japanese Lieutenant General Norihide Abe on the spot, which is the famous Loess Ridge Siege and Annihilation Battle.
"Flower of Fame" Lieutenant General Norihide Abe
Norihide Abe (May 1886 – November 7, 1939) graduated from the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School in 1907, joined the Japanese Army after graduation, and was promoted to major general in August 1937. In 1939, he was appointed brigade commander of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and promoted to lieutenant general.
After the death of Norihide Abe, he was awarded the Grand Order of the Rising Sun, First Class. Norihide Abe is known as a "handsome" and "mountain warfare" expert who is good at using "new tactics", and has the title of "Flower of Famous Generals".
In early November 1939, Abe Norihide personally led the army's elite independent mixed brigade to fight in Laiyuan, Hebei Province, and from the 5th to the 8th, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Japanese independent mixed brigade in the Loess Ridge area, annihilated more than 900 Japanese troops, and captured more than 200 mule carriages full of military supplies, 5 artillery pieces, and many guns and ammunition.

On November 24, 1939, Mao Zedong and others sent congratulatory telegrams to congratulate the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region on its major achievements, and pointed out in particular that the Eighth Route Army's mountain guerrilla warfare had once again proved to be powerful.
Chiang Kai-shek of the Chongqing Government of the People's Republic of China also sent a telegram to Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, to give him a special commendation, praising the battle as "a sign of the bravery of the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army in killing the enemy and a special reward."
