Haiyang mine warfare effectively counterattacked aggression: the militia system "thundered"

The movie "Mine War" made Shandong Haiyang militia famous. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the heroic people of Haiyang extensively carried out mine warfare, sparrow warfare and joint defense warfare, which effectively countered the enemy's aggression and defended their homeland. During the eight years in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Haiyang militia fought more than 2,000 times, killing and injuring more than 65,438 people+capturing more than 5,000 enemies, seizing more than 600 pieces of various weapons, and emerging more than 500 heroic models above the county level.

This article is compiled by the author according to the records of local literature and history, from which we can see the outstanding contribution made by Haiyang people to the construction of Jiaodong anti-Japanese base area and the liberation of the motherland at that time.

See the "miraculous effect" in the original mine warfare.

1940 On February 7th, Japanese troops invaded Hangcun from Qingdao, and occupied Haiyang County (now Fengcheng Street) on February 7th, 10, and successively set up strongholds in the city, Lu Gu Port, Hangcun and Dashan. * * * Haiyang County Committee cooperated with our anti-Japanese troops to carry out guerrilla warfare. On the same day, the puppet troops fought resolutely with the * * * capitulators.

1in the spring of 943, the Armed Forces Department of Haiyang County held a meeting of armed forces directors in Nanbu Village, Xiaoji District. Luan Jinxian, director of the county military commission, introduced the experience of the militia in Dazeshan District of Pingdu in killing the enemy with mines, taught the method of burying mines, and distributed several iron mines to various districts. Since then, the prelude of Haiyang mine war has been opened.

In May of that year, Yu Yu, the deputy captain of Ruiyu Village in Xiaoji District, planted two mines on the road from Ruiyu to Dongcun, killing and injuring five Japanese puppet troops who came to rob wheat. In the autumn of the same year, Zhao Tonglun, the captain of Zhao Tuan's militia in Xingcun District, led Zhao Shoufu and Zhao Ganjiang to bury two trip mines near the top of Zaobu Mountain in the southwest of the village, killing and injuring six puppet troops. Li Shuzi, instructor of Wenshan militia, and Yu Huahu, detachment leader, led the blasting group to plant two mines in Yehuling, killing and wounding seven enemies. Ye Hongfu, the captain of the backbone team of villagers' soldiers in Ye Jia in the mountainous area, planted a 1 mine at the head of Xie Jia village, killing and wounding five Japanese puppet troops ... The victory of the first mine battle inspired the fighting spirit of the militia in the county, and the mine battle was also launched from point to point.

"Famous brand" mine

In the early mine warfare, the militia generally used "waiting for the enemy to mine", that is, burying mines in a fixed place and waiting for the enemy to step on them. In the long-term struggle against the enemy, Haiyang militia invented a variety of mines and gradually formed a set of mature and efficient tactics.

"Fly to bury the mine", commonly known as "don't scatter the eagle without seeing the rabbit", that is, the militia quickly buried the mine after seeing the enemy's shadow. On May 1945 and 10, the Japanese puppet troops stationed in Hangcun "mopped up" after they arrived in Wenshan. When the militia Yu Huahu ran home from the county seat, the enemy was not far from the village. He picked up the mine and ran to the enemy. He buried the mine at the intersection where Japan and the Puppet must pass. 10 exploded a few minutes later, with 7 enemy casualties. Since then, the villagers have generally learned to use the method of "flying and burying mines" and have repeatedly defeated the "sweeping" of the Japanese puppet troops.

Suffering from mines, the Japanese puppet troops made every effort to deal with mine warfare. When the enemy marched, they sent scouts first. If they found anything suspicious, they painted "○" with lime, and the people behind them turned around. After discovering the enemy's practice, the militia drew a "χ" on the road where the enemy was going to pass, and buried mines around it. When the enemy saw "○", he dodged to both sides and just stepped on the mine. In view of the fact that the enemy chose to look ahead through a telescope, the militiamen developed a kind of "emission line", which tied their hair to a ray string so that the telescope could not find it. The enemy also transferred engineers from Qingdao to detect with mine detectors, destroying many mines. The militiamen immediately came up with a "mother-child serial mine" day and night. When the enemy engineers pulled out the fake mines, they moved upward, and the real mines underneath exploded, and the enemy engineers were immediately blown to pieces. For a time, the enemy found that our mines were easy to get wet after the rain, and chose to "sweep" after the rain. The militia will cooperate with it in this regard. When burying mines, they will use oil paper, wheat bran and other moisture-proof materials to protect them, and buckle a porcelain bowl on the "thunder mouth" to prevent them from getting wet. After a rain, the enemy came to Zhao Tuan for harassment. As a result, a damp-proof thunder sounded and 18 people were killed on the spot.

After a large-scale mine war, the supply of iron ore is insufficient. Village soldiers such as Wenshan Hou, Zhao Tuan, Wuhu Village, Luan Jia, etc. Give full play to their intelligence and created Shi Lei according to local conditions. After Wenshan, in an anti-mopping-up, the militia laid more than 70 stone mines and killed the Japanese puppet 17 people. After the county and district armed forces summed up the promotion experience, the militia in the county generally learned to make stone mines. The combination of iron ore and stone ore has greatly increased its power. Everywhere the Japanese and the puppet troops went, mines would ring, and they would be killed every time they were "mopped up", so they had to stay in their strongholds and did not dare to go out easily.

The combination of mine warfare and sparrow warfare

The combination of mine warfare and sparrow warfare is the basic tactic of militia fighting against the enemy. With this tactic, Haiyang militia has achieved fruitful results.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/943, for more than 300 days, the puppet troops went to Beidong Village in Zhaotuan to grab grain. After hearing the news, Zhao Tuan's militia ambushed on Zhangzishan and laid a minefield on the road. When the enemy arrived two or three miles away from Zhao Tuan, he suddenly turned to the west. Zhao Tonglun decisively ordered: "Sparrows fire guns and soil gunners light up to attract the enemy!" When the gun went off, everyone shouted for killing, and the Japanese puppet troops immediately jumped on the militia. The militiamen turned warily to the minefield and continued to attack. The enemy rushed at the militia again, just caught in the minefield and died 15 people.

On May 1945, more than 500 Japanese puppet troops occupied Wuhu village. The enemy search team climbed up the mountain while shooting and went to the mountainside to sound the signal thunder. At this time, the "Sparrow Regiment" led by Ji Hongfu in Xishan Mountain and the guerrillas led by Ji Yan and Xin Shoufang in Dongshan Mountain opened fire on the enemy. The Japanese puppet troops rushed to the north of Jijiadian Street, and the mine rang again. The enemy didn't go far when he suddenly saw some piles of new soil on the road. Afraid of mines, they made a detour and just set foot on thunder. After paying heavy casualties, the Japanese puppet troops rushed into Jijiadian and invaded south along the street. When they arrived at Guandi Temple, they hit two more mines, causing more than 65,438 casualties. In more than 500 days, the puppet troops walked less than five miles from 10 to 3 pm, trampled on more than 20 mines, lost more than 30 bodies and fled back to their strongholds.

1in the summer of 945, the Japanese army built fortifications on the basin mountains in an attempt to control the basin mountains. Zhao Tongjian, the captain of Zhao Tuan's militia, resolutely put forward the slogan of "playing basin mountain" On the night of June 25, Zhao Tonglun led Zhao and touched the basin mountain with mines and blew up the wall built by the enemy. On the evening of 26th, 13 EOD experts were selected to go to Basin Mountain again and lay mines in enemy bunkers and roads. Touched Xiaopen Mountain and buried 4 mines; Finally, in the enemy's big tent at the top of the mountain, a mine weighing 15 kg was buried in the coal pile, and a thunder rope was tied to the bellows. At 8 o'clock the next day, mines in the big and small basins exploded continuously; Near noon, there was a loud noise and "bellows thunder" exploded. The enemy suffered heavy casualties, the fortifications were bombed, and the Japanese and puppet troops dared not return to Penshan.

After mastering the skills of mine production and use, the militia in Haiyang County flexibly carried out mine warfare according to the natural environment of local mountains and hills, and at the same time cooperated with sparrow warfare, offensive and defensive warfare, blockade and siege warfare, and militia joint defense warfare. And in the villages, every household prepares for war, giving the enemy a heavy blow and winning again and again. These victories greatly increased the ambition of the people in Haiyang and even Jiaodong, and strongly encouraged the people in Jiaodong to resist Japan.

"Jiaodong expedition bomb squad"

/kloc-in the winter of 0/943, more than 60 people, including Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu, Zhao Tonglun and Luan, formed the "Jiaodong Expeditionary Force Bombing Team" and set off for Laiyang, laying mines outside the city and blocking the Japanese and puppet strongholds. Luan Xianjin, director of the county military commission, and others, 50 villagers in Xiaoji District, crossed Laiyang five feet at night, attacked Zhao Baoyuan, a stubborn army, and captured eight people. Landmines were planted during the retreat, killing a large number of enemies who came to reinforce. 1944, Yu Huahu was ordered to lead a five-person EOD team to Wei Yan Line to carry out mine warfare, which lasted more than four months. They taught 1000 militiamen to lay mines in Huangxian and Penglai. Yu Huahu and others once laid more than 20 mines near Penglai City, killing and wounding 28 Japanese puppet troops.

1945 65438+ 10, in October, the Jiaodong District Army assigned a 4-person EOD team to Penglai County to perform tasks. In 10 days, more than 600 people in the army and militia were taught to learn explosive ordnance disposal technology; Bray blocked Daxindian stronghold, killed more than 40 enemy soldiers, and was commended by Jiaodong Military Commission.

In addition, Zhao Tonglun was appointed by the Jiaodong Military Region to lead five bombers, including Zhao Bingkun, under the banner of "Jiaodong Expeditionary Bombing Team" awarded by the Military Region, to Lancun area along the Ji Jiao Railway to cooperate with the South China Sea Independent Regiment to teach the army cadres and soldiers explosive ordnance disposal technology. With military experiments, mine explosions were used to blast the enemy railway three times in a row, blowing up the railway for more than 50 meters, causing the enemy railway transportation to be interrupted for a long time. On the evening of May 6th, 1945, Japanese and puppet troops gathered in Laiyang City, and Zhao Shoufu was ordered to lead the "Expeditionary Bombing Team" to lay 20 mines in Laiyang City and Dongxuan River. The next day, the enemy was killed and 24 people were injured.
