1932, 10 At the end of the year, the Red Fourth Front Army was forced to move to Sichuan and Shaanxi to open up new base areas because of the failure of the fourth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression". 165438+1At the beginning of October, the Red Fourth Front Army arrived at Nanhuatang at the junction of Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi after a long journey day and night. Before the Red Army troops rested, the 44th Division, the 65th Division and the 5th1division of the Kuomintang army advanced on Nanhuatang on three sides, and the 1st 10 division where Ye Chenghuan was located was ordered to stop the enemy from going south and cover the main force to break through Beishan Pass.
/kloc-in the early morning of 0/3, there was a thin layer of frost on the ground, and hay and branches swayed in the biting morning breeze. Ye Chenghuan, then political commissar of the 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment, Red Ten Division, frowned and stared anxiously at the mountain pass with a cold mauser pistol in his hand. Less than a month after leaving the base area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, the soldiers were very depressed, and Ye Chenghuan of 18 felt unprecedented depression and anxiety.
"Look, the enemy is coming up. Shall we fight?" Correspondent Xiao Liu asked Ye Chenghuan nervously.
"Don't panic, tell the soldiers to be calm, try to save ammunition and stall the enemy." Ye Chenghuan pushed the brim of his hat with a mauser pistol and ordered in a low voice, "Everybody listen to my command, aim and fight again."
The enemy's fifty-first division chased Hubei, Henan and Shaanxi from Dabie Mountain with arrogance. I didn't expect the red army to set an ambush at all. Ye Chenghuan saw a few guys in front of the enemy team carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, swaggering into the mountain pass, getting closer and closer. He raised his mauser pistol, aimed at one of them, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the peace of Shan Ye was broken.
"Comrades, beat these mad dogs and stop them chasing and biting everywhere!" Ye Chenghuan shouted, threw two grenades, and the soldiers' rifles and light and heavy machine guns also opened fire on the enemy. Xiao Jun, who was escorting the way in front, was beaten for a while, dared to throw the gun on the ground and turned back timidly.
Ye Chenghuan saw that the other side was in disorder, so he rushed out of the bushes with his soldiers. After chasing for more than half a mile, he wiped out more than 30 enemy troops and paid two machine guns. Just then, another army came up. Light and heavy machine guns and mortars were woven into a battle net and rolled towards the officers and men of the second battalion. Ye Chenghuan urged the soldiers to retreat to Seven Trees and choose favorable terrain to stop them.
In order to rush through seven trees, the Kuomintang army concentrated its forces and launched round after round of attacks on the position of the second battalion. Ye Chenghuan command troops to avoid reality, avoid each other's firepower, concentrate their forces, use favorable terrain, and hold their ground. The soldiers cut with broadswords, stabbed with bayonets, stoned and bit with their teeth, but they just pushed each other back again and again. At dusk, the main force of the Red Army besieged Beishanguan, crossed Yehuling and seized Zhulin Pass. Only after that, Ye Chenghuan left the position with the soldiers of the second battalion and caught up with the troops.
Subsequently, the Red Fourth Front Army marched into northern Sichuan, opening up the Sichuan-Shaanxi revolutionary base. 1At the end of June, 933, the Fourth Army held a wooden door meeting to expand its strength, and Ye Chenghuan was appointed as the political commissar of the1/division of the Fourth Army. In June+10/October, 5438, Ye Chenghuan led the 1 1 division as the right wing, and cooperated with the Red 30th Army, the 25th Division of the 9th Army, the 10 Division of the 4th Army and the 12 Division to launch the Xuanda Campaign. 10 16 night, the 11th Division set out from Jiangkou and arrived at Yingcun before dawn.
Eagle Village has steep terrain, winding narrow paths and cliffs everywhere. Ye Chenghuan walked in front of the team with a hook and a stick. In front of a precipice more than 50 feet high, he hung the hook rope on his belt, dug crevices with his hands, stepped on sharp stones and climbed to the top of the cliff little by little. The biting mountain wind made his nose runny, and the cold cliff stone was like holding ice in his hand. Fingernails were torn off, hands were stained with blood, and Ye Chenghuan gritted his teeth and climbed up, finally reaching the top of the cliff. He tied the hook rope to a pine tree and helped the soldiers climb to the top of the cliff one by one. Over Yingcun, the soldiers of 1 1 Division pounced on the Independent Brigade of the 23rd Kuomintang Army stationed in Jiangling River at the foot of the mountain like tigers.
The Independent Brigade of the 23rd Army thought that Jiangling Creek was backed by cliffs and dangerous peaks, so it was easy to sit back and relax. Unexpectedly, the Red Army suddenly fell from the sky and suddenly panicked. When the Red Eleventh Division rushed into the unguarded Jiangling River, the other party was having lunch, and leaders of all sizes were still guessing fists, drinking "Hello brothers" and "You are so rich in the four seasons". Ye Chenghuan blew out a shuttle of bullets and waved: "Comrades, end these son of a bitch bowls!"
The Red Army soldiers blocked the enemy in the house and the yard respectively, and solved the battle with no effort. Only a small part fled to Fenghuang Mountain and Daxian County. Ye Chenghuan led the troops to recover from the attack and arrived in Daxian County, where they joined forces with the 30th Army and annihilated them.
After the Red Fourth Front Army went through all kinds of hardships and successfully arrived in northern Shaanxi, Ye Chenghuan was sent to Yan 'an Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study.
1937, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, and the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army. Ye Chenghuan was the head of the 772nd regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army129th Division. Under the command of teachers Liu Bocheng, brigade commanders Xu Xiangqian and Chen Geng, he led his troops to resist Japan in North China.
In the early morning of February 1938, under the command and deployment of Liu Bocheng and Xu, Ye Chenghuan led his troops to take part in the battle against the Japanese stronghold of Jiuguan between Jingxing and Pingding. The fog is heavy and the air smells of earth. Ye Chenghuan was lying on an earthen bag not far from the stronghold, looking at the watchtower more than ten meters high and the barbed wire in front of him, thinking about countermeasures. At this time, he handed the telescope to the correspondent, conveniently took the vice from the commandos, chose two thin and clever soldiers, and touched the barbed wire with the land.
20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters ..., Ye Chenghuan climbed to the front of the barbed wire, first gently took off the empty jar hanging on the net, then cut a hole in the barbed wire with a vise, and the first one got in. Along the barbed wire is a trench more than two meters deep. Ye Chenghuan rolled down with his head in his arms, and his knee hit a stone. He brushed it twice, then quickly climbed out of the trench and touched the turret. At this moment, a scream of "Eight Trumpets" broke the peace in the morning. A Japanese soldier who came out of the turret to pee found Ye Chenghuan and cried in a hurry. Ye Chenghuan immediately stood up, fired two shots of cutting, put down the devil before he could lift his pants, and rushed at the turret.
When the soldiers saw the colonel shooting, they rushed up like arrows. The Japanese in the turret heard the gunshot and fired at the gun hole. The flames were ejected from the turret, and the Eighth Route Army troops were crushed outside the barbed wire. Ye Chenghuan took out several grenades from a soldier's waist, tied them together, pulled out the fuse and threw them into the turret through a loophole. "There was a loud bang, and smoke mixed with fireworks came out of the turret. Ye Chenghuan took advantage of the smoke to rush in, and the soldiers rushed in and wiped out a dozen Japanese soldiers guarding the turret.
At this time, the Japanese army in the backyard of the turret rushed out screaming. Ye Chenghuan ordered: "A squad followed me to the turret and occupied the commanding heights. The rest will attack the backyard and push the devils back. "
Ye Chenghuan climbed the turret, set up a machine gun "clicking" to shoot, sweeping down a large devil. "I'll let you taste something today!" He cursed loudly, his bloodshot eyes wide open, turned the visor behind him, rolled up his sleeves, and took two grenades from a soldier and threw them down. At the moment, a string of Japanese heavy machine gun bullets hit the turret, splashing a burst of gravel and dust. A bullet grazed Ye Chenghuan's left arm and flew into the turret. A soldier found him injured and dragged him down. Ye Chenghuan pushed him away: "What is this injury? Just bitten by a mosquito, hurry to deal with the devil! "
After more than two hours of fierce fighting, more than 30 Japanese troops stationed at Jiuguan/KLOC-0 were killed, and the rest fled in haste.
One morning in early March, while the regimental headquarters was having a meeting, Xu, the deputy head of the regiment, came with the guards. While making tea for him, Ye Chenghuan joked, "Is there any' fat difference' in my hometown?"
Xu Xiangqian pretended to be serious and replied: "As long as the nose is pointed, you can smell it."
"Don't suspense me. We are at least half fellow villagers. What is the' fat difference'? Can you forget me? " Ye Chenghuan laughed.
You really did the right thing this time. Xu Xiangqian didn't hurry or slow down. It turned out that the headquarters learned that the Japanese army had recently sent military supplies to Licheng and decided to ambush it. Ye Chenghuan's 772nd regiment is also preparing for the war.
When it comes to combat missions, Ye Chenghuan dances with joy. He held Xu's hand and said excitedly, "Don't worry, fellow villager, the 772 regiment will not discredit you."
This morning, Ye Chenghuan led soldiers to ambush in Xiangtangpu, southwest of Shexian County. As soon as the sun came out of Dongshantou, the Japanese motorcade appeared in the soldiers' sight one after another. The beige canvas covered the carriage, and the dark green front roared past for more than two miles.
"My mama ah! I have never seen so many iron things in my life. " Correspondent Xiao Li is both excited and nervous.
Ye Chenghuan smiled and said to him, "This time, you opened your eyes! Don't look at these guys Knock off both ends, and the middle one becomes a dead guy. " After that, he ordered a battalion commander to take two companies around the back of the Japanese motorcade to pat the "ass".
After the Japanese motorcade completely entered the ambush of the Eighth Route Army, Ye Chenghuan raised his pistol and shouted, "Give me a good beating". At that time, gunfire and shouts broke out. Some blasters who have been lurking on the side of the road have already sounded the mines. Some people went straight to the motorcade with explosives. When the Japanese heard the shot, they rushed forward at full speed. Ye Chenghuan and several soldiers jumped out of the bunker and rushed to the Japanese motorcade. They lined up in the middle of the road carrying homemade explosives. When the Japanese saw it, they sped up and wanted to rush at once. The explosive exploded, and the front of the first section was blown up by half. Ye Chenghuan was also thrown into the ditch by the huge air billow, and he struggled to get up. When he saw the whole Japanese motorcade crawling on the main road, he gritted his teeth and rushed at the Japanese army with soldiers.
Other brothers have cut the Japanese motorcade into several pieces and annihilated the Japanese one by one. Ye Chenghuan endured a headache and commanded the troops to count the spoils. At this time, Japanese reinforcements came from Licheng, and the machine guns on the roof of the car carried out fire reconnaissance in the trees on the side of the road from time to time.
"The second battalion and the third company seized the commanding heights on the right side, and the rest chose favorable terrain, ambushed on the spot and intercepted the devils." Ye Chenghuan ordered.
The Japanese truck approached with dust, and the bayonet on the cover of March 8 was shining brightly in the sun. Ye Chenghuan ordered the machine gunner to hold down the enemy's fire first, took the pike from a soldier and aimed at the truck driver in front. With a crunchy sound, the truck swung around the avenue like a drunk, and then hit a big paulownia tree on the side of the road. At the same time, the machine gunner also pulled the trigger, and the dense bullets were discharged to the Japanese army together.
The Japanese army jumped out of the car and opened fire on the Eighth Route Army under the cover of cars and roadside trees. Ye Chenghuan ordered the troops to form an attack formation. Seeing this, the Japanese army left more than 30 bodies and turned around and fled to Licheng.
At this time, a company of the Eighth Route Army 129 Division 77 1 Regiment was mixed with the Japanese troops reinforced by Dongyang Pass to start hand-to-hand combat. Due to the disparity in strength, the Eighth Route Army is in a very passive position. After learning the news, Ye Chenghuan rushed up and ordered the soldiers to "bayonet!"
The words sound just fell and a Japanese soldier wearing a helmet stared, gritted his teeth and rushed at him with a bayonet pike. Ye Chenghuan stepped aside, dodged the bayonet, grabbed the gun and pulled it over. The devil poked an empty hole, lost his balance, fell down at once, and gnawed at the mud. Ye Chenghuan grabbed a pike and killed the devil with a butt.
After more than an hour of hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army in Dongyang Pass was defeated. Ye Chenghuan returned to xiang tang with his team to lay an ambush field, only to find that the road was full of destroyed Japanese cars, 180 vehicles and countless military supplies. People nearby took the initiative to clean the battlefield and carry materials.
Subsequently, Ye Chenghuan led a delegation to participate in the Battle of Lucheng, and annihilated more than 65,438+10,000 Japanese troops.
The Eighth Route Army won three out of three wars. At the beginning of April, the Japanese army assembled more than 30,000 troops with 108 division as the main force and invaded southeast Shanxi in nine ways in an attempt to annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Liaoxian, Yushe, Wuxiang and Xiangyuan. 129 Division was ordered by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to advance from the south of Liao County to the east, and meet in the area north of Shexian County outside the circle to cooperate with interior operations.
On June 5438+05, 129 division moved to Wuxiang. At dusk, more than 3,000 people from Wuxiang Japanese Army/25 Brigade of KOOC-0/08 Division/KOOC-0/7 Wing set off from Wuxiang and retreated eastward along Zhangzhuo River. Ye Chenghuan immediately sent someone to report to Brigadier General Chen Geng after receiving the information, and was ordered to advance to Wuxiang. According to Brigadier General Chen Geng's information, Liu Bocheng ordered 77 1 regiment, 772 regiment and 689 regiment to be divided into two columns, and pursued in parallel along the mountains on both sides of Zhang Zhuohe River, while 769 regiment pursued the enemy along the avenue.
As night fell, Ye Chenghuan led the 772nd regiment to pursue eastward along the north bank of Zhang Zhuo River. Brigadier General Chen Geng knew that Ye Chenghuan was ill and wanted to send him to the hospital for treatment. Resolutely refused: "Chen, let me command you to finish this battle before you go." The troops can't live without me, and I can't let go of the troops. "
Chen Geng couldn't beat him and had to give up.
/kloc-in the early morning of 0/6, layers of mist wrapped around the distant mountains. The field was silent except for footsteps and the occasional cock crow. Ye Chenghuan led the soldiers to March all night and came to a long slope near Changle Village. Ye Chenghuan, who walked in front of the team, seemed to hear the motor of the car. He turned around and said to the soldiers in a low voice, "Let's work harder and climb over the mountain ridge to catch up with the devils."
Sure enough, as soon as I climbed to the top of the slope, I saw the Japanese army moving eastward slowly like a duck on the avenue here. There are trucks and motorcycles in the middle of the team, raising dust more than a foot high.
Boy, I finally didn't let all my grandchildren get away. Ye Chenghuan patted his ass and turned back to command the troops: "Comrades, rush down, stop the enemy and hit hard!"
The soldiers rushed down the hill. This is the Japanese guard force, about 1500 people. When they saw that the road was cut off, they organized fire to attack the position of the 772nd regiment, and launched a tug-of-war with the 772nd regiment on the avenue beside the ravine. Soon, 77 1 regiment, 689 regiment and other follow-up troops arrived one after another, and cut the enemy into several strands in Xingcun and Lizhuang, and panic in them separately. Ye Chenghuan ordered a general assault, and the Japanese launched hand-to-hand combat. This time, the heavy weapons of the Japanese army lost their function, and the shouts and killings on the hillside and on the river beach came one after another.
Near noon, more than half of the besieged Japanese army was annihilated, and the Japanese army that had passed Changle Village returned to reinforce, and the 772nd regiment was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, and the situation was unfavorable. Ye Chenghuan decisively ordered the soldiers to give up the besieged enemy, specifically to stop the Japanese troops coming to Huiyuan.
Under the cover of heavy and light fire, the Japanese army stormed the position of Ye Chenghuan regiment. The front of the position was pitted by Japanese artillery shells, and the trees were scorched, risking plumes of smoke. Under the command of Ye Chenghuan, the 772nd Regiment repelled the enemy's attacks again and again. The position of the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company was once lost, and the soldiers were mixed with the Japanese troops who rushed up. When Ye Chenghuan heard the news, he and his guards rushed into the enemy line. The soldiers stabbed with bayonets, slashed with broadswords and stoned. The bayonet rolled up, and then he swung the butt of the gun and smashed it; The butt of the gun was broken, so he held the enemy with his hand and gritted his teeth. Ye Chenghuan ran out of bullets in his mauser pistol, so he hit it with the handle. A Japanese second lieutenant raised an oriental broadsword and roared at Ye Chenghuan. Ye Chenghuan quickly flashed to the right, dodged the broadsword, lifted his left leg and put his foot on the devil's knee. With a scream, the devil threw down the oriental knife and rolled his left leg on the ground. Ye Chenghuan took the opportunity to pick up a broadsword and killed the Japanese with one knife.
After an hour of bloody fighting, the Japanese army was repulsed again. At this time, all the Japanese troops surrounded by Changle Village were wiped out, and the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield. The north bank of Zhang Zhuo River, which had been fighting all morning, was temporarily calm.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had not yet withdrawn from their positions, and the JapaneseNo. 105 United Front came from Liao County to reinforce them. After receiving the notice, Ye Chenghuan said humorously to the soldiers: "The devil's corpse collection team is here, and everyone must treat them well!" While speaking, sporadic gunfire broke the silence around. The two brothers have fought with the Japanese army. Ye Chenghuan tightened his belt and waved to the soldiers: "Come, let's entertain the guests first, and then solve the noisy stomach."
The eighth route army soldiers with high morale quickly repelled the first attack of the enemy's 105 United front. After leaving more than 100 bodies, the arrogant Japanese army retreated to the hillside.
At this time, Ye Chenghuan suddenly received an order from the headquarters to lead a delegation to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and evacuate quickly. It turned out that the scouts found more than 1000 reinforcements for the Japanese army. In view of the uncertainty of adowa, Liu Bocheng decided to confuse and muzzle the enemy with a film, and the main force immediately withdrew from the battle.
Ye Chenghuan looked at the Japanese corpses littering the hillside and countless guns and ammunition, so he ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield, load victory products and evacuate quickly. But just as he was directing the troops to evacuate, suddenly, a bullet from the Japanese army hit him in the head. He shook it twice and fell under a small pine tree. The guard hurriedly pulled him down.
"Hey, team ... team, where is the team?" Ye Chenghuan in a coma muttered to herself.
The guard took his hand, leaned over his ear and whispered, "Don't worry, Colonel Ye! The team is marching safely. "
The sun sets slowly, and a golden glow hangs in the western sky. Liu Bocheng and Chen Geng rushed to Ye Chenghuan and brought the best military doctors from the headquarters. However, due to serious injuries and excessive bleeding, Ye Chenghuan died heroically in the early morning of 18 at the age of 24.
In the afternoon, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, Xu, Chen Geng and other Eighth Route Army leaders attended Ye Chenghuan's memorial service and burial ceremony.
The body of Ye Chenghuan martyr was buried in Bei Hao Village, Yushe County, Shaanxi Province. After the founding of New China, it moved to Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Martyrs Cemetery in Handan City, Hebei Province. In his hometown, Xinxian County, Henan Province, his heroic deeds have been displayed in the Martyrs Cemetery, the capital of Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet areas, and education has inspired thousands of people in the old Qian Qian.
