Fighting with the Eighth Route Army, dressed too windy and risky, the devil's gendarme lieutenant was tied up with a donkey and taken away

In the autumn of 1940, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Boxing County, Binzhou, Shandong Province, led by the Communist Party of China, was established. It was an old revolutionary area as early as the period of the agrarian revolutionary war, and in 1932, the "August Fourth" peasant revolt that shocked the whole province occurred in Boxing, and it was also the place where the first rural party branch in Binzhou was born.

At the end of 1937, the Japanese army marched into Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, and most of Shandong fell

Beginning in 1941, in order to consolidate the rear, the Japanese invading army successively dispatched heavy troops to carry out large-scale sweeps of the anti-Japanese base areas behind our enemy lines, supplemented by the so-called "law and order strengthening campaign." In the harsh environment of struggle, the Kuomintang diehard Zhou Shengfang, who was entrenched in Boxing, openly surrendered to the enemy, thus putting the anti-Japanese struggle in the whole county at a low ebb. However, under such unfavorable situation, the county party committee actively mobilized the masses and waged a mass guerrilla war, and after an arduous struggle against blockade and "sweeping," the situation began to gradually improve.

▲The Japanese army invaded qingdao

In the early summer of 1944, after the endless green yarn in the fields was tented, the party organization in our Boxing area often organized militias to destroy the enemy's roads, sometimes digging trenches on the roads to cut off traffic, and sometimes laying mines to blow up enemy cars. These breaches of communication lines are carried out mainly by militias in villages along the highway.

▲ The mighty Japanese gendarmes, but in actual combat, large leather boots can only drag themselves

The Japanese army saw that the highway was repeatedly cut off, and although it also constantly organized personnel to repair it, the highway was always broken more often and the traffic time was short. Once the Japanese army had just forced the people to repair the roads in Boxing and restore traffic, And Lieutenant Takeda, the captain of the Japanese military police stationed in Lijin, just happened to have something to pass through Boxing, and he planned to lead some of the gendarmes to go north from Zhangdian by car. This murderous executioner, although fierce and brutal, is usually well dressed, the uniform has always been ironed very flat, the armed belt is tied with a pistol and a command knife, and the large leather boots are spotless and polished. From the appearance alone, Takeda is worthy of surveying as a model of military discipline.

▲ Japanese gendarmes on alert duty

Of course, Takeda is not stupid, he also knows that the road is not very safe, like them a car travel alone is very risky, so Takeda specially borrowed a heavy machine gun from the field troops to install on the car before setting off, so coupled with the original light machine guns, grenadiers and rifles of the gendarmerie unit, Takeda thought that it should be enough to deal with the small-scale harassment of the militia guerrillas on the way.

These Japanese gendarmes set off from Lijin in a murderous manner and sped north. However, when the devil's car drove to the north of WangMu Village in Boxing County, it suddenly found that the newly repaired highway had actually been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and the car could not move forward. Seeing that the situation was not good, Takeda hurriedly ordered the driver to reverse the car and intended to return the same way, but it was too late. Just as the car was slowly reversing back and forth, the mines planted by our district squadron sounded!

▲ Japanese heavy machine guns, gendarmerie units are generally not equipped with such heavy weapons

With the sound of a violent explosion, the car suddenly fell into the ditch on the side of the road, and the Japanese gendarmes who fell on all sides of the road were still able to resist with heavy machine guns, and they jumped out of the car in the rain of bullets from our army and fled in the direction of the city. Captain Takeda was unlucky, he looked mighty in his big leather boots, but he couldn't run in the field.

At this time, our army launched an attack on the Japanese gendarmes, and because Takeda was too prominently dressed, it attracted the main attention of our army, and the other gendarmes fled without a trace except those who were killed. Our army staggered in the field from all directions one foot high and one foot shallow approaching, he still wanted to die and struggle, wanted to pull out his pistol to return fire, but just now a wild run had already thrown the pistol holster from the original left waist position and did not know where to go, the command knife was also thrown behind him, he had a hard time pulling out the gun, but before he could start, our soldiers had already caught up with him, and in the fight, his head was broken, his face was bleeding, and several soldiers of our army were pressed into the field and captured.

The soldiers of our army hurriedly unloaded the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army and carried them away, then burned the cars, and then borrowed a donkey from a nearby villager's home to send the bundled sturdy bamboo fields to the base area.
