The Japanese surrendered to the Eighth Route Army in Tancheng.

In the winter of 1942, the Japanese puppet troops occupying Linyi, Shandong and other places "nibbled" at the banks of the Shuhe River in our coastal area. The Eighth Route Army taught the 2nd Brigade to take advantage of the weakness of the Japanese Puppet Army, used "flanging tactics", and launched an attack on Tancheng on January 19th, 1943 with the cooperation of local armed forces and militia. Tancheng was then the base of the Japanese military station in southern Shandong, with high walls and deep trenches and numerous gun towers. It was a fortress-like town. In this campaign, the 8 th Company of the 6 th Regiment of the 2 nd Brigade served as the commando. The officers and men braved the enemy’s intensive firepower to attack bravely, taking the lead in breaking through the city wall and occupying the south gate, so that the follow-up troops could quickly break into the city. At dawn the next day, our siege troops blasted and stormed the remnants of the enemy who were holed up in the turret, forcing them to surrender. So far, a total of 103 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, 7 Japanese aggressors were captured, and 419 puppet troops were captured. Our army only suffered 91 casualties, which was the first example of attacking the city behind enemy lines in Shandong.

In order to break through the enemy’s encirclement, the instructor decided to split up the classes. According to physical strength and weapons and equipment, 10 soldiers from the 7th company, 2nd platoon and 6th class could break through easily. However, in the face of the Japanese aggressors’ frenzied slaughter of the masses, they resolutely stayed, divided into three fighting groups, braved the enemy’s bullets and rain, and went back and forth for three times, covering nearly 1,000 people to rush out of the warfare and transfer safely. When they rushed into the encirclement for the fourth time and prepared to lead the masses to break through, it was already dawn and the Japanese army had pushed near. These 10 soldiers from the 7th company, 2nd platoon and 6th class successively beat off the enemy’s repeated attacks with the cooperation of aircraft artillery. In the end, only the squad leader and two soldiers were left, and the bullets were exhausted. When the enemy rushed up, the three men hugged each other tightly and rang the last Grenade, which stained Mashi Hill with blood. After the war, people couldn’t name these 10 soldiers, however, they won a common glorious name among the masses, that is, "Ten Warriors of Mashishan".

Attack the company of heroes Naming Conference

Before the Battle of Sunan, in order to give the enemy an illusion, the 11th Brigade began to retreat northward. Just as the Japanese Puppet Army was paralyzed, on May 21st, the troops withdrawn from the north suddenly turned around, and the 31st Regiment attacked the 3rd Regiment of the Puppet 15th Division, which was stationed in Renji stronghold, with lightning speed. At 11 o’clock that night, the troops quickly occupied the surrounding houses under the cover of darkness, looking for the best fighting position. According to the combat deployment, the 1st Company of the 31st Regiment is the main attack, responsible for destroying the enemy gun towers and shelters, and paving the way for the follow-up troops.

At 5 o’clock at dawn on the 22nd, Company 1 launched an attack, and the troops crossed an outer trench about four or five meters deep and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy. Suddenly, a machine gun in a nearby three-story artillery building spewed flames, and Ren AirAsia, the head of the puppet army, led dozens of puppet troops to retreat and wait for reinforcements. A company of officers and men were overwhelmed by fierce firepower.

This turret is tall and big, with thick walls. At that time, the troops were poorly equipped, and even the explosives needed for blasting were used up. The only "earth-made flat-fire guns" were difficult to destroy such solid fortifications, and the battle was deadlocked. At the critical moment, Wang Liansheng, the company’s bugler, volunteered to take a blasting team and use fire cover to carry out a surprise attack from the flank.

With the consent of the company commander, under the cover of machine guns, Wang Liansheng, with more than 20 grenades, quietly crawled forward to the gun house with the blasting team. Just as we were approaching the gun tower, an enemy Grenade fell beside them and exploded. Three commandos died gloriously, and Wang Liansheng’s leg was also injured by shrapnel. He endured severe pain and continued to crawl. About 10 meters away from the gun tower, the enemy found them and began to shoot at the commandos with intensive firepower, which rained down for a while. Seeing this, the company commander quickly organized fire suppression. Taking advantage of the short pause of the enemy’s firepower, Wang Liansheng shouted: "Brothers, finish the task even if you die!" Under his leadership, the rest of the blasters struggled to get up and bravely rushed to the turret.

At a critical juncture, the company commander and other officers and men launched an attack from the front of the turret to attract enemy fire. Taking this opportunity, Wang Liansheng climbed the ladder to the watchtower and threw grenades into the enemy bunker continuously in the smoke of the fire. In the end, Ren AirAsia, the puppet head, took 32 puppet troops as prisoners. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the 31st Regiment wiped out the 3rd Regiment of the Special Agents of the Puppet 15th Division. In this battle, a total of more than 100 people under Ren AirAsia, the head of the Third Regiment of Puppet Agents, were captured, and more than 100 rifles and 20 short guns were seized.

Around this time, Liao Chengzhi, head of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Hong Kong office of the Eighth Route Army, sent a group of Communist party member to Dongguan, Baoan, Huiyang and Zengcheng to organize anti-Japanese armed forces. From scratch, from small to large, these teams have developed into the Dongjiang column, the main force that opened up the battlefield behind enemy lines in South China and persisted in the war of resistance in South China. Dongjiang Column rescued more than 800 patriotic Democrats including He Xiangning, Liu Yazi, Hu Die and Zou Taofen from Hong Kong under the eyes of the Japanese, and also escorted hundreds of international people safely to the rear area to rescue 8 American pilots, thus opening up a famous "safe passage for pilots".

Guerrilla troops in South China are fighting

Although Dongjiang Column is far away from the Party Central Committee and the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, they persist in independent guerrilla warfare, creatively push anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare from rural areas to enemy-occupied Hong Kong and coastal cities, and successfully create typical examples of anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in big cities and coastal areas.

Qiongya Column, another main force of South China guerrillas, is a people’s armed force led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Hainan Island, which was founded on the basis of the peasant uprising team in Hainan Island in September 1927.

In March 1939, the Independent Team was renamed the Independent Corps. In the autumn of 1944, the Independent Corps was reorganized into an independent column of anti-Japanese guerrillas in Qiongya, Guangdong Province. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the independent column dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese puppet troops on Hainan Island.

在天安门前展示荣誉旗帜是我军阅兵史上了不起的进步。

从战火中砺炼出的荣誉旗帜与光荣称号见证了抗战的艰辛与磨难,也展现了中国人民解放军及武警部队彪炳史册的璀璨功勋,在后来解放战争、朝鲜战争、对印自卫反击战、珍宝岛冲突和对越自卫反击战中,我们的军队愈战愈强、越打越壮大,以忠诚与鲜血续写了军事史上的壮美篇章。

只等9月3日,这支威震天下的军队将向全世界自豪地展示——那些永不磨灭的番号。
