It's too late to organize the transfer of everyone in the town right now! Even if the hundreds of wounded in the first aid and bandaging stations were carried on their backs and could be transferred to the field hospital in the small ditch, what would happen to the mountain of supplies? The migrant workers brigade is still on the way back to Xiaotiangou, and there are not many people in the town!

The nearest unit was the three companies of the special training camp that were still in Weiziwa, and now he couldn't take much care of it, so Yang Bangzi immediately sent two communicators to Weiziwa as quickly as possible to inform the special training camp to rush back to Yinfang Town at full speed.

After Yang Bangzi calmed down for a while, he came up with a way, he asked Xiao Liangzi to immediately lead people to organize everyone in the town, immediately transfer the wounded to the small ditch, and pile up the seized materials and everything there, don't move! Have the county brigade and others lay all the mines on the road under the mound at the north end of the town.

The task of the guard company was to divide into two groups, each occupying the high ground on the east and west sides, and each was led by the company commander and the instructor.

The task given to the militia was to take all the people of the town out of the city, leaving an empty city. After the tasks were arranged, Yang Bangzi ran to the mound north of the town without a person with his hands behind his back, holding a dry tobacco bag, walked up to the top of the slope, found a stone, crossed his legs, faced north, and sat down.

From Heiyaogou to Yinfang Town, there is a Beitan Village in the middle, the village is not big, more than 20 households, the devils used to come to the mountain, the devils retreated and returned to the village, the militia in the village found that the devils came on the road early this morning, and rang the broken bell at the entrance of the village, more than half of the villagers helped the old and the young to go up the mountain, but there were three households that were placed here by the Lingman Administration and fled from the enemy-occupied area. Unfamiliar with the road. He actually ran along the main road towards Yinfang Town.

The Devil Zhushan troops did not stop in Beitan Village. Ignoring the militia on the hill outside the village, he walked straight through the village and set fire to the house.

There was probably more than two miles between the fleeing villagers and the devils, and they could see each other clearly, and the little devils didn't shoot, nor did they run to chase after them, as if they were deliberately teasing the dozen or so peasants, young and old.

But Yang Bangzi, who was smoking dry tobacco on the mound, saw the villagers and hurriedly got up. I didn't knock the cigarette bag and pot, so I parted to my waist, ran down the hill, and rushed over.

After eagerly talking to the villagers, let the villagers go around the mound, go down to the big meadow and go up the hill on the west side, and Yang Bangzi told them that there is a team there.

As soon as the villagers heard that there was a team of us, it was also an old man who came to pick them up, and their hearts were much more stable. Glancing at the devils on the avenue in the distance, he walked around the mound.

Yang Bangzi watched the fellows go away. Turning around and looking at the ghost soldiers swarming on the avenue, he slowly pulled out the dry tobacco pouch on his waist, hummed a little song, shook his head and paced up the mound again, sat on the stone cross-legged again, knocked the tobacco bag pot, took out the cigarette purse, pinched out the tobacco and filled it, lit the fire, and smoked it again!

The pioneer of the devil brigade was about a mile away and saw a person wearing a black cloth uniform on the mound on the side of the road, sitting there leisurely smoking a cigarette pouch, and felt that something was wrong.

After the soldiers stopped, they reported the situation to the brigade headquarters behind, and Zhushan Zhongzuo rushed over when he heard the news, looked at it with a telescope, was full of doubts, was silent for a while, and told the adjutant that the troops should stop and rest first, eat something and drink some water, and observe it.

The fact that the Takeyama troops broke away from the Yazaki Brigade and went east alone to Heiyaogou was by no means the whim of Katsume Daisa or the Japanese front-line commanders, and this arrangement was made because the Japanese intelligence department had obtained reliable information that the Eighth Route was going to organize an offensive battle of 10,000 people in the area south of Laiyuan and north of Lianggang, and to recapture all the territory of the Eighth Route Division that the Japanese army had occupied after the spring sweep began.

In order to defeat the siege of the Laiyuan and Lianggang areas by the Eighth Road, the 222nd Wing of Shuibao Township was transferred eastward, of which the wing headquarters had a brigade under its jurisdiction to assist in the defense of Laiyuan County, and the two brigades went south to threaten Yinfang Town and the flank of the 1st Division of the Eighth Road, which was the real purpose of the military operations of the Yazaki Brigade and the Zhushan Brigade.

What kind of information did the intelligence department of the Japanese army get and conclude that the two divisions of the Eighth Route should cooperate to organize a battle of 10,000 people? As a matter of fact, the Japanese spy agency stationed in Mancheng obtained a small newspaper published by the 11th Division from the spies who entered our base area, which was a handprint newspaper obtained by the senior political commissar and his teaching team.

At the end of the paper, this student wrote an enthusiastic article praising the First World War Yinfang, and at the end, the student wrote with his own imagination that what would happen if the 1st and 11th Divisions could unite and organize several main regiments to attack the enemy in Laiyuan and other places.

This student is completely imaginary of the joint operation south of Laiyuan and north of Lianggang, but didn't Yang Bangzi just want to plan the silver square of World War II, he didn't know that the newspaper actually fell into the hands of the devil, and he himself wondered, the devil in Shuibao Township was so obedient, and he followed him for more than a hundred miles as soon as he teased him! The reason is actually that the devil wanted to come to the east in the first place!

This can be regarded as a pre-war leak, but this kind of thing is not the first time in the Eighth Road, and the First Division also had this kind of similar newspaper leak before the Battle of Lailing.

In 1944, in '42 and '43, the 1st Sub-district that survived the catastrophe of the devil's sweep and the great hunger for two consecutive years gathered in Cijiatai, Mancheng County, Hebei Province, to carry out the "rectification campaign" that the cadres of all military sub-divisions had long demanded and that the cadres of all military sub-divisions had long demanded. At the beginning of the movement, Yang Chengwu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, set the tone for the movement: "The cadres of the first division did not retreat from the most difficult and difficult times in 42 and 43 years, left the revolutionary ranks, and ran to the enemy's side. According to me, if there is no unqualified, just take a warm shower and reduce your shortcomings and mistakes with the help of everyone's criticism. There is no need to go up to the level of class (at that time I didn't know the term "going to the platform) and button your hat indiscriminately. ”

At that time, the rectification movement was in progress. A military cadre who has always looked down on "only playing tricks and shaking the pen." Wei Wei, who is usually full of literary popularity. Waving his arms and shouting: "You are used to liberalism, you have always been a master with low eyes, and you have not achieved enough things, otherwise how could that leak happen to you......"

What this incident refers to is the leak of the "Lailing Operational Plan."

In September 1940, the second phase of the "Battle of the Hundred Regiments" began. On the basis of the enemy situation reconnoitred in the Laiyuan and Lingqiu areas, Yang Chengwu personally drew up an operational plan and personally commanded several regiments of the 1st Subdivision and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, totaling the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments, the 20th and 25th Regiments, the main force of the cavalry regiment, the 1st Division's special service battalion, the 1st and 3rd guerrilla detachments, and the 1st Division's engineering company, to attack several devil's strongholds in Laiyuan County. This operational plan is called the "Lailing Campaign Operational Plan."

Before the battle began, an accidental accident that suddenly occurred in a division of text leaks was inadvertently related to the fate of Yang Hao, who was far away in Pingxi. Due to the lack of intellectual cadres. made the leaders of the first division make a new decision, and Yang Hao had to end his work in Pingxi Advance Newspaper ahead of schedule. Go back to a partition.

In mid-September 1940, a week before the start of the second phase of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the 1st Division was actively mobilizing cadres and fighters and preparing war materials. After pondering for a few days, Yang Chengwu had just drawn up an operational plan for the Lailing Campaign, which was submitted to the leaders of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region for examination and approval. Everything is ready, just waiting to fight. However, the mobilization and education of cadres and fighters before every battle is a major event. In November 39, when the Yansu Cliff and Loess Ridge were hit, the three regiments were mobilized before the war, and Yuan Shengping, the political commissar of the regiment, waved his fist and spoke. When the troops dispersed and were about to enter the position, Zheng Xuyu made the most agitation to the cadres and fighters at the grassroots level in front of the position. After entering the position, the instructors of each company have to go to each platoon and even each squad to carry out the last battle agitation. Without this repeated agitation for battle, where did the determination of the soldiers to fight bravely come from?

This time, the battle agitation of the Lailing Battle was also like this. When an officer of the Propaganda Section was preparing to publish the "Work Newsletter," a publication of the Political Department, he was a little haphazard and wrote down the words of the "Lailing Campaign" that Yang Chengwu had just drawn up, as well as the main operational direction and operational objectives, without asking for instructions. This officer believed that the appearance of this text would greatly boost the morale of the troops (I have also seen that some historical sources say that the newspaper "Anti-Enemy Daily," an organ of the first division, was published this morning, and in an editorial, all the operational intentions of the second phase of our Eighth Route Army were revealed. This is a misunderstanding, because there is not a single newspaper called "Anti-Enemy Newspaper" in the first district. "Anti-Enemy Daily" did exist, but it was the predecessor of "Jinchaji Daily" and had nothing to do with the First Division).

At that time, Yang Chengwu accidentally saw the old secretary Chen Ziduan reading a copy of the "Work Newsletter" just printed by the Political Department. He immediately rushed to the Political Department and held the perpetrators accountable for the serious crime of "leaking secrets." Fortunately, Luo Yuanfa, director of the Political Department, and Shi Jinqian, the head of the Propaganda Section at the time, immediately stood up and took the initiative to take responsibility for Commander Yang, saying that they were careless and didn't care when reviewing the manuscript, which caused this text leak. Yang Chengwu was never the kind of person who harmed people in essence, he was relatively open-minded, had a very good relationship with intellectual cadres, and rarely got angry, so the matter was let go at that time.

The "Work Newsletter" was originally a small briefing on the internal situation of the first division, mainly for the regiments of the first division of the army. The printing stock (in case of the head of the unit) is stereotyped and mimeographed, with more than 200 copies at a time, and the scope of issuance is very limited. The organizer's signature is the Political Department of the First Division, and it is sent to all organs of the First Division and the cadres of the subordinate units at or above the company level to read, and it is not an external propaganda publication. However, because the education of many cadres in the Political Department at that time was very low, they were incapable of writing well, so they were handed over to Wei Wei, the director of the Propaganda Section.

At that time, Wei Wei was young, with the temper of a poet, and his speech and actions were relatively casual, giving people the impression of liberalism, and sometimes the organizational principles were a little lacking. Moreover, the poet's temper is hot and cold, and there is no high or low when he starts up, and he does not like others to review or revise the manuscript he writes. So inadvertently, the operational deployment of the Lailing Battle carefully sketched by Yang Chengwu was displayed. The leaders of the Propaganda Section and the Political Department were also sloppy, did not think about it in detail, and ordered it to be printed after a cursory look. What if this important briefing really fell into the hands of an enemy with brains? No wonder Yang Chengwu was furious.

During the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, facing a big battle, before the battle was fought, there was a leak of secrets, Wei Wei felt a heavy responsibility, and if he didn't get it right, he would lose his head. So he proposed to the leaders of the Political Department that he was really unable to manage it anymore, and asked to resign from his job as the organizer of the "Work Newsletter". It happened that after this incident, Yang Chengwu and Luo Yuanfa also had this idea, thinking that the talents in the Propaganda Department were all literati who started writing poetry, and they were more than enthusiastic and unrestrained, but they were not stable enough. This "Work Newsletter" was not originally a literary publication that could express feelings, and the direction of the propaganda section was wrong. As a result of their discussions, the "Work Newsletter", which had been managed by the Communications Section, was withdrawn to the Political Department, and a more stable person who could do the clerical work was found to write and manage the "Work Newsletter" on a full-time basis.
