The famous anti-Japanese general in eastern Hebei – Bao Sen

Sacrificing the Martyrs of the North China Military Region Martyrs Cemetery Baosen:

He, born in a poor family, is familiar with “Sun Tzu’s Art of War”. The capture of the military police chief, shocked the Japanese government and the opposition, and even Okamura Ningji had to lament: it is like entering a sea of ​​misery in eastern Jidong, and it will cost 300,000 oceans to offer a reward for capture. Because he is good at winning more with less, Ye Jianying rated him as China’s Xia Boyang. Although his life was fixed at the age of 32, his deeds are still passed down to this day: “A thousand miles to beat a strong prisoner, the sword roars the east of the Great Wall. The country is hard to die in a strong age, and the mournful song of Yan Zhaofeng.”

The binoculars used in the battle of Bauson

Today’s story is from a binocular Start talking. From the appearance, this is an ordinary telescope that can no longer be ordinary, with a black mirror body and a leather strap, but this is the telescope that has accompanied Bao Sen to make extraordinary achievements! Speaking of its origin, it was the spoils of the Japanese army captured by the anti-Japanese armed forces in eastern Jidong in 1939. It was originally used by Li Yunchang, the commander of the Jidong military division, when Bao Sen was the deputy commander and head of the 13th regiment.

This telescope is always in Baosen’s image

Speaking of the many miracles that Baosen created , The most widely circulated is to capture the Japanese military police officer Akamoto alive. It was at the beginning of 1939, the Japanese army sent the military police chief Chimoto to sit in Zunhua to carry out a large-scale sweep of the Jidong base. Bao Sen’s subordinate Wang Zhenxi was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army. Wang Zhenxi took the plan and promised to lead the way to find Bao Sen. When Chi Ben brought the garrison to the vicinity of Mengziyuan Village in Zunhua, Wang Zhenxi encouraged Chi Ben to enter the village alone to persuade Bao Sen to surrender. The arrogant Chimoto thought that Bao Sen and others were just stragglers, so he swaggered into the village to persuade him to surrender. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the village, he was captured alive by soldiers disguised as farmers. The soldiers learned from the translator that the one who was captured alive was Akamoto, the head of the Japanese army’s Tangshan spy agency, the military police chief, and the “cousin” of the Japanese emperor. Japan organized a Red Book Rescue Committee, which released wild words: “As long as you release the Red Book, any conditions will do.” Baosen said: “There is only one condition, that is, you get out of China and surrender!”

At the beginning of 1940, Bao Sen was ordered to lead his troops to open up the Panshan Anti-Japanese Base. Li Yunchang, the commander of the Jidong Army Division, donated this telescope to Bao Sen. He did not expect the telescope to play an important role in Bauson’s command of operations.

At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army’s Wudao Cavalry Squadron, relying on a large number of people and well-equipped, continuously frantically “mopped up” the Panshan area, threatening to “level the Panshan Mountain”. After receiving reliable information, Baosen said that there must be a “pocket battle” here. The terrain of Baicaowa is dangerous, with two mountains sandwiching a ditch, and the bottom of the ditch is full of rocks, so the cavalry can’t exert their advantages. Watching the enemy enter the “pocket”, Bausen did not rush to attack, because there were only 12 rifles, a machine gun and 35 grenades in the army at that time, and there were only five bullets in each rifle.

Sen asked the soldiers to just throw stones into the ditch on the top to lure the enemy to fight back. After fully consuming the enemy’s ammunition, Bao Sen also waited for reinforcements to annihilate the cavalry squadron in one fell swoop. When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they suddenly discovered that a Japanese soldier had fled to the ridge of Linan. , and let him know that our heroic sons and daughters of Panshan are not easy to mess with.”

From 1939 to 1942, Bao Sen led the anti-Japanese army and civilians to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops more than 50 times in Jixian, Tianjin area with this telescope, and won many victories. Bao Sen won more with less, which seriously thwarted the Japanese invaders’ policy of “using China to control China”. The telescope helped Bauson win battle after battle.

However, on February 17, 1942, BaosenHe led his troops to meet the enemy at Yehu Mountain in Zunhua. During the battle, he was shot in the chest by an enemy sniper when he climbed Beishan to observe the enemy’s situation with this telescope, and unfortunately died in action. After that, the telescope was returned to Commander Li Yunchang. Commander Li Yunchang donated the telescope to Jidong Martyrs Cemetery in 1991, and it has been displayed until now.
