When the 1st Army in Shanxi carried out large-scale raids on the Taiyue and Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Areas in southern Shanxi Province, the National Army's 1st Theater Unit in Luoyang took the opportunity to counterattack the 35th Division on the south bank of the Yellow River west of the Datie (Zhou) Bridge in Zhengzhou. The Bawangcheng stronghold was built, and the bridgehead in Wenxian area on the north bank of the Yellow River was strengthened to enable the troops on both sides of the bank to contact each other.
Based on the above situation, the North China Front Army ordered the 35th Division stationed in Kaifeng to capture the Wen County area north of the Yellow River and block water transportation on the north and south banks of the area to cope with the 1st Army's continued mopping up in southern Shanxi.
After the 220th and 221st regiments of the 35th Division of Shigeta Tokusatsu secretly arrived west of the mouth of the Qinhe River, they suddenly launched an attack and occupied the Wenxian area, blocking traffic on the north and south banks of the Yellow River in this section.
Subsequently, Iwamatsu Yoshio moved his 1st Army command post to Anyang. That night, his 36th Division moved from Pingshun to the east, and the independent mixed 3rd Brigade moved from Guxin and Xida to the south to attack Anyang, about 20 kilometers north of Lin County. The Eighth Route Army near the village; the independent mixed 4th Brigade headed west from Anyang to attack the 40th Army of the Kuomintang Army assembled in Yao Village, about 10 kilometers north of Lin County.
After inflicting casualties on the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army moved to the Japanese army's flank and rear to attack the enemy.
The 40th Army of the Kuomintang Army temporarily formed the 3rd Division, which relied on the mountain fortifications at the bottom of the cliff near Yao Village to resist tenaciously, allowing the enemy to form an independent 4th Brigade and attack for several days without defeat.
On April 13, the 1st Army added the 3rd Brigade of the 224th Regiment of the 36th Division, Major Shisho's, to assist the independent mixed 4th Brigade in continuing the attack.
The temporary 3rd Division of the Kuomintang Army fought bravely and repelled many enemy attacks. The battle lasted until April 15, when the position was broken through by the enemy's independent 4th Brigade.
The 13th Independent Infantry Battalion of the brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Yasuo Masatsuna, continued to advance forward after attacking the position of the 3rd Division.
Captain Yoshie Yamamoto, the squadron leader of the brigade, led his squadron and the Kuomintang troops to fight fiercely several times and climbed the cliff at night. At dawn on the 15th, they advanced to the garrison position near the top of the mountain with an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and started another fierce battle.
At 11:00 on the 15th, based on the retreat of the defenders, Yamamoto Yoshie judged that the temporary 3rd Division headquarters was not far away, so he selected 22 capable soldiers to form a commando team led by him to take the lead in the attack.
After breaking through the second line of defense of the defenders, they broke through the third line of defense of the defenders at 16:00. By 18:00, Yamamoto Yoshie found out that the headquarters of the 3rd Division was located in the nearby cliff cave and organized his troops to besiege. The troops of the 3rd Division defending the hilltop suffered heavy casualties, and one of them jumped off a cliff and died.
At 20:00, Liu Yueting, the temporary commander of the 3rd Division, 16 staff members, and about 300 soldiers were captured.
After the 3rd Division suffered serious losses, the main force of Pang Bingxun's 40th Army, located in the Yuankang area south of Lin County, withdrew westward to the vicinity of Lingchuan. The enemy formed an independent 4th Brigade and immediately attacked the area south of Lin County. On May 18, they occupied Yuankang and nearby areas.
At this time, the troops of the enemy's 1st Army were still raiding various places in southern Shanxi, conducting "picking and choosing", promoting counterfeiting, and destroying the anti-Japanese base areas.
According to the plan of Iwamatsu Yoshio's 1st Army, after attacking Lin County, the scheduled combat mission has ended.
However, Jing Guanren, commander of the 36th Division stationed in Changzhi, believes that since mid-May, a large-scale sweep has been carried out in Anze, Liao County, Pingshun, Lin County, etc. in the Changzhi area, and the anti-Japanese forces have suffered considerable losses. " The "public security" situation has also improved. The greatest threat to the area south of Changzhi is the attack by the 40th Army of the First Theater Zone of the Kuomintang Army.
Therefore, he proposed to Yoshio Iwamatsu that he should take advantage of the success of several raids and take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the offensive force was near Lingchuan to besiege Pang Bingxun's main force.
??Yoshio Iwamatsu immediately made a report to the North China Front at the request of Iguchi Ren.
Okamura Neiji immediately issued instructions, ordering all units to carry out repeated "security operations" without fear of fatigue or casualties, to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army, the anti-Japanese democratic government, and the "Chiang Kai-shek Chongqing Army" in North China. Therefore, Jingguan and Yansong's report requesting to continue the attack on Pang Bingxun was quickly approved.
Subsequently, the Japanese army deployed more than 50,000 people to "sweep" the Taihang Mountains. In the middle of the month, the Japanese troops divided into more than a dozen groups from the east, west, and south directions and rushed towards Pang Bingxun's defense line.
Faced with the Japanese army's "mopping up" of the Taihang Mountains, Pang Bingxun retreated to the deep mountains to passively avoid fighting. Only the patriotic officers and soldiers of the 106th Division carried out the Xiaozhuang Mountain battle, dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese army.
However, due to the heavy losses suffered by each unit before, and the third temporary division being almost completely wiped out, the defense lines of each army were broken through one after another. Pang Bingxun did not organize an attack, but led the group army headquarters and the 40th Army headquarters to move to the deep mountainous area for refuge. war.
On the evening of April 29, Pang¡¯s troops encountered Japanese troops near Jiulian Kiln, 24 kilometers away from Lingchuan, and the headquarters personnel were in chaos.
Transfer centerBingxun was originally sitting on a carrying chair. After the battle started, the person carrying him disappeared. Only he, his son Pang Qingzhen and two guards hid in a ravine and lost contact with the military headquarters.
That night, Ma Fawu, commander of the 40th Army, gathered the dispersed headquarters and military personnel to break through and go south.
After dawn the next day, Pang Bingxun found that the enemy had retreated and the troops had moved. He became the bare commander, so he walked eastward, trying to return to Lin County to find the troops.
When we arrived near the entrance of Sanjiao in Huixian County, we encountered Japanese troops again. Under the guidance of the masses, they hid in a cave halfway up Fenghuang Mountain.
While hiding in the cave, a farmer named Yang used the excuse of herding sheep to secretly deliver water and food to Pang Bingxun every day.
A few days later, Sun Dianying, commander of the New Fifth Army who had surrendered to the Japanese army, learned of the cave where Pang Bingxun was hiding and immediately reported it to the Japanese.
The Japanese army sent a second lieutenant named Tanaka Tetsuo to lead more than ten people, led by Sun Dianying's secretary Li Guoan, and found Pang Bingxun.
After some bargaining and negotiation, Pang Bingxun followed the Japanese second lieutenant to Xinxiang, where the Japanese army was located, on May 7, and formally surrendered to the Japanese army.
On May 23, Wang Jingwei¡¯s puppet government appointed Pang Bingxun as the temporary commander-in-chief of the 24th Group Army.
Defeating the 24th Group Army and forcing Pang Bingxun to surrender, this is definitely one of the most important achievements of Okamura Neiji since he took office.
The Japanese army attaches great importance to this miscellaneous soldier among the miscellaneous soldiers.
Pang Bingxun¡¯s department originally belonged to the Northwest Army system and was a miscellaneous army in the National Government system. It was originally formed from the First Division of the Second Group Army in Shanxi in 1931 and was later called the Third Army.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, it was said to be a legion, but in fact it only governed the 40th Army. The 40th Army only had one division, the 39th Division, plus a supplementary regiment. In other words, it was a legion in name, but its actual strength was only 1 A division and a regiment.
In September 1937, General Pang Bingxun served as the commander of the Second Army and the commander of the 40th Army, Ma Fawu was appointed as the commander of the 39th Division of the Dumiao Division, and Li Zhenqing was appointed as the commander of the supplementary regiment.
After the bloody battle in Linyi, the 40th Army adjusted its rear areas for training. Taking into account the excellent combat performance of the 40th Army and Pang Bingxun's meritorious service in the War of Resistance, the 106th Division, which originally belonged to the Northeast Army and had defected to the Central Committee during the Xi'an Incident, was placed under the 40th Army. At this time, the 40th Army finally no longer had only one Solitary Miao 39th Division, but finally had two divisions.
In the detailed battle report of the 1st Division of the Japanese 10th Division, the 40th Army was evaluated as follows: "The quality and tactics of this division are inferior to those of the 37th Division that fought before, but it also appears to be extremely tenacious when holding on to its position When the Imperial Army's offensive pauses or is temporarily reorganized, they will use death squads to carry out repeated counterattacks and engage in hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to regain the position."
40 officers and soldiers also relied on their "particularly strong sense of resistance" to win the battle to defend Linyi. Pang Bingxun also won the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun for this battle, and division commander Liu Shi won the fourth-class Baoding Medal.
Since then, this unit has repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the anti-Japanese battlefield. First, the 39th Division severely damaged the 3rd Battalion during the winter offensive in 1939, killing the battalion leader Miyoshi Kawahara and 48 people below the captains of the 9th, 11th, and 12th squadrons. . Later, Li Zhenqing of the 106th Division severely damaged the first unit of the Japanese 223rd Regiment in the Battle of Huoshaozhuang in 1942. Both squad leaders of the Masuko Squadron, the backbone of the Mashiko Advance Team, were killed in the battle. The captain of the Regiment, Colonel Takagi Masami, was seriously injured and left the post.
¡°But no one expected that such a powerful force would be defeated in this sweep, and even Pang Bingxun himself defected to the Japanese.
