1. Thoughts after visiting Haiyang Mine Warfare Scenic Area
In the 1960s, the movie “Mine Warfare” was a household name. The movie tells the story of the militiamen active in the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Base Area during the Anti-Japanese War, who used homemade landmines to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army with ever-changing and ubiquitous landmine warfare to counterattack the Japanese aggressors despite the extreme shortage of weapons and ammunition. The movie is based on a true story that happened in Haiyang County, Shandong Province. The Explosion King Zhao Hu in the film is based on the national militia heroes Zhao Shoufu and Yu Huahu, while Miss Yulan is based on the national militia hero Sun Yumin.
In fact, the Haiyang militia was not the first to use landmines to attack the Japanese invaders in Shandong. Until the early 1940s, the Haiyang militia did not have landmines, let alone the experience of using landmines to attack the enemy; however, later, the Haiyang militia used them in practice Dozens of types of landmines were invented and manufactured, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders. So, how did the local militia learn to use landmines to stop the enemy in a short period of time and achieve great results? What is the real mine warfare in Hai Duong like? In this special archive reveal program – Remember, Li Han tells you: the story of the Haiyang mine war.
History will never forget the black spring of 1942. The Japanese invaders stepped into Haiyang and quickly occupied coastal villages such as Xingcun, Dashansuo, Lugubu and Fengcheng in Haiyang County, and established multiple strongholds. , the policy of burning, killing, and robbing was carried out frantically, and the numerous crimes were shocking. More than 300 innocent people were murdered in Zhaotuan Village alone. Faced with the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders, the people of Haiyang did not surrender. The Haiyang County Committee of the Communist Party of China actively mobilized the masses and established the “Youth Anti-Japanese Vanguard Team”, “Young Women’s Team”, “Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Group”, “Children’s League”, etc., and raised swords and spears, guns and cannons, and the Japanese invaders launched Fight to the death.
According to Gao Jingping, director of the Archeology Department of the Hai Duong City Museum, the Japanese invaders killed people and set fire to the village after they entered the village. The people had no weapons at the time and could only fight them with broadswords, spears, and even agricultural tools such as shovels, shovels, and hoes. The huge disparity in strength and weapons and equipment between the enemy and ourselves has become the most severe reality facing the soldiers and civilians in the anti-Japanese base areas. How to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use small forces to attack large forces, so as to avoid direct contact with the enemy and kill the enemy on a large scale was an urgent issue at that time. question.
In the spring of 1943, a special meeting was held in Nanbu Village, Xiaoji District, Haiyang. The meeting was mainly attended by militia captains from each village, including Zhao Shoufu and Yu Huahu. At this meeting, a new weapon emerged: landmines.
Haiyang, Shandong Province is located in the southern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula. The terrain is complex and rocky and hilly, which creates extremely favorable natural conditions for the development of mine warfare. Most of the main battlefields of mine warfare were located in the main strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops, or around traffic arteries, such as Zhaotuan Village, Wenshanhou Village, Xiaotan Village, etc. These three villages have also become the villages with the best effect of mine warfare since then. The first is Zhaotuan Village. Zhaojiazhuang in the movie “Landmine Warfare” is based on this village. Zhaotuan Village is affiliated to Xingcun Town, only 8 miles away from the Xingcun stronghold. It is an important transportation road leading to Sogezhuang and Xiaoji Town. It is the throat of the Xingcun stronghold, Kuangli and Sunjiakuang strongholds. It is also the site of the Japanese aggressor raids. The only way to grab food.
Zhao Shaomin, the former commander of the Zhaotuan Village Soldiers, said: “The Japs have a small detachment in Xingcun, and the main leaders are all in Xingcun. Why did Sun Jiakuang station a part of it? Because the terrain there is higher, and Sun Jiakuang needs to come from Xingcun for food, drink, and other items.” The village provided it, and the Japs made one round trip a day, so Zhao Tuan’s militiamen thought it was very suitable to use mines to attack the Japs here.”
However, the first battle did not achieve the expected success: one day, the signal tree on the opposite mountain fell down and pointed in the direction of the enemy’s sweep. Militiamen such as Zhao Xinrui and Zhao Shoufu hurriedly laid landmines along the enemy’s only path. But after a while, the enemy swaggered past. How is this going? It turns out that the landmines at that time were all trip mines, and the requirements for the trip wire were very high: it could only be about 10 centimeters above the ground. If it was higher, it would be easier for the enemy to spot it. If it was lower, the enemy would be able to step over it. The mine didn’t explode this time because everyone was inexperienced and set the trip wire too close to the ground.
Soon after, Zhao Xinrui and the others got a second chance: the enemy was passing through a nearby village, and they hurried to lay mines. But this time they arrived in a hurry, and the enemy had arrived at the head of the village before they could wait. In desperation, the militiamen had no choice but to place mines under a stone wall. Not wanting to miss the mark, when the enemy hit the mine, rocks flew into the air, greatly increasing the power of the mine. Later, they found out that when the enemy left the village that day, they removed the door panels of five households. It can be seen that one mine killed and injured five Japanese. It can be said that the stone played a big role.
With this experience and the fact that there were too few iron mines, everyone came up with the idea of using stones to make mines. From then on, the large rocks scattered all over the mountains became natural materials for the militiamen to make mines: they hollowed out the middle of the rocks weighing tens or even hundreds of kilograms, filled them with gunpowder, and then installed detonators, and a powerful stone mine was created. came out, large-scale mine warfare became possible. This is indeed the case. Since the advent of Shi Lei, as long as the Japanese enter the village, they will inevitably lose a few lives, because big rocks can be seen everywhere, and no matter how careful they are, they cannot avoid them.
On May 10, 1945, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the village “mopped up” after arriving in Wenshan. When militiaman Yu Huahu ran home from the county, the enemy was not far from the village. He carried the mines on his back and ran towards the enemy. He planted the mines at the crossing where the Japanese and puppet troops must pass. They exploded ten minutes later, causing 7 enemy casualties. Since then, villagers and soldiers in various villages have generally learned to use the method of “flying mines”, and have repeatedly thwarted the “mopping up” of the Japanese and puppet troops.
After suffering all the hardships, the Japanese and puppet troops tried their best to deal with landmine warfare. When marching, the leading soldiers were first sent to conduct reconnaissance. If anything suspicious was found, they would draw “○” with lime, and the people and horses behind would turn around. After discovering the enemy’s approach, the militiamen drew “○” on the road where the enemy must pass in advance and planted landmines around the “○”. The enemy dodged to both sides after seeing the “○”, but ended up stepping on a mine.
Among the three national militia heroes in Haiyang, Sun Yumin can be called the “landmine heroine”. Although decades have passed, the old man still talks about these landmines very fondly. What impressed her most was the hair mine. The origin of the hair mine was very simple: the enemy had suffered enough from the mines, so they specially mobilized engineers to use a mine detection hoop equipped with a 10x magnifying glass to find trip wires (i.e. ours). Commonly misunderstood metal mine detectors), if the pull wire is made of rope, it can be easily discovered by the enemy. So the militiamen used hair as string mines, and the enemy’s magnifying glass could not do anything. “Hanging mines” and “flying mines” were also ordinary string mines, but they were ambushed at high places. As for the thunder that will sound as soon as it is dug, two mines, one real and one fake, are connected together, and the fake mine is placed on top. When the enemy digs the mine, it will affect the real mine, and it will naturally sound as soon as it is dug; as for the mine that is taken back to the stronghold and then exploded The mine is because there is a small rubber band installed inside the mine. When the enemy wants to open the mine to find out the structure, the detonator will detonate as soon as the rubber band is loosened…
There is a famous saying in the movie “Mine Warfare”, “If you don’t see the enemy, don’t hang the string.” That is to say, if you don’t see the Japanese entering the village, the mines will not be hung with fuses. In the minds of today’s young people, the impression of mine warfare is the scene in this movie where the Japanese were blown up by landmines and their souls were blown to pieces. The classic saying they remember is this “If you don’t see the Japanese, you won’t be killed.”
What’s the mystery of “If you don’t see the enemy, don’t hang the string”? It is understood that in order to avoid being struck by thunder, the enemy came up with a vicious method, which is to let the common people clear the way in front. Once, when the enemy came out to grab food, they captured some people from near the station and forced them to lead their animals to clear the way through thunder. As a result, many innocent people were killed or injured that time. To this end, the militiamen used their brains and invented a “long vine thunder”. After the people in front passed by, the militiamen who were ambushing nearby quickly pulled the long line. With several loud noises, the enemy was blown to pieces. The common people were safe and sound. Later, this method was continuously improved and applied to landmines with different detonation methods, and the effect was very good. In fact, the biggest advantage of the tactic of “hanging up only when you see the enemy” is that it can control the mines. It can basically achieve the effect of blowing up whoever you want. This not only avoids innocent casualties, but also better controls the impact of the landmines. use.
The Japanese army, which had suffered many losses, once suspected that the militiamen’s mines had anti-mine detection devices and could not be discovered by engineers, so they wanted to take the mines back for study. There is also a scene like this in the movie: Watanabe, the Japanese engineer captain wearing a headscarf and disguised as a peasant woman, rode a donkey to Zhaojiazhuang to steal landmines. After being discovered by the militiamen, Watanabe hurriedly escaped with the mines prepared by the militiamen. . So, did the incident of Japanese engineers stealing landmines really happen in history, or was it just an artistic treatment in the movie?
In fact, the Japanese army did not allow engineers to bring mines back to their strongholds. At that time, in order to eliminate the threat of landmines, the Japanese army used various means to clear landmines. After the landmines were discovered, the demining engineers would cut off the mine fuses, dig out the mines as trophies, put them on the car and take them back to the stronghold. But every time the car started, , the mine on the car will explode. It turned out that in order to counter the mine-stealing conspiracy of the Japanese engineers, the smart militiamen came up with a way to turn the landmines into soil-based chemical mines. So, how did ordinary landmines become soil-based chemical mines?
In fact, it only takes two or three minutes to deploy an earth-chemical mine. The militiamen made a small paper boat out of wax paper, unscrewed the mine fuse, put the small paper boat inside, then put a few drops of prepared sulfuric acid on the wax paper, and then screwed the mine fuse back on. Japanese engineers cut off the fuse of the soil chemical mine they found and moved it to the car. When the car started moving, the soil chemical mine was shaken, and the sulfuric acid in the wax paper would flow out. Since sulfuric acid is conductive, it would explode the mine. The circuit was connected, causing an explosion. This is why the Japanese army did not allow engineers to bring the mines back to their stronghold.
In the summer of 1945, more than 300 Japanese troops were transferred from Qingdao in an attempt to cooperate with the enemies in the Xingcun stronghold to counterattack us. Yu Huahu disguised himself as an enemy soldier and carried four landmines weighing a total of one hundred kilograms. He sneaked into the stronghold during darkness and hid himself. After the enemies all went to bed, he skillfully and quickly buried the mines on the playground, then climbed over the wall, jumped over the ditch, cut the barbed wire, and returned to the village. The next morning, the Japanese troops in the stronghold began to gather. Four landmines exploded one after another, killing 33 people, seriously injuring 4 others, and injuring many others slightly. Under heavy blows from our main force, local armed forces and militia bomb squads, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Xingcun stronghold did not dare to move out for several months.
In order to control the situation, the Japanese and puppet troops blocked three of the four gates in Xingcun, leaving only one south gate. They also set up a special “registration office” to check pedestrians entering and exiting. The director of this registration office, nicknamed “Mazi”, was a loyal lackey of the Japanese army who killed without blinking an eye. The militiamen were determined to get rid of this traitor. Late one night, Zhao Shoufu and several militiamen came to the vicinity of Xingcun. After arranging the three comrades responsible for covering, he took four landmines and went under the wall. He first buried one at the entrance under the southeast corner of the bunker and at the gate outside the south gate, and then pried open the wooden door of the registration office. He opened the window, jumped into the house, tied a door opener, and placed a large mine in the waste paper basket next to the desk in “Mazi”‘s office. Early the next morning, as soon as the enemy opened the gate, they ate an “iron watermelon”. “Ma Zi” was in shock and rushed to the registration office. As soon as he opened the door, a mine exploded, and his head suddenly exploded. Several enemies came in to collect the corpses, and set off the big mines in the waste paper basket, and they became dead ghosts in an instant. This time, more than 10 enemies were killed. The enemies were so angry that they posted notices everywhere: whoever caught Zhao Shoufu would be rewarded 10,000 yuan, and whoever cut off his head would be rewarded 5,000 yuan.
During the wheat harvest, it rained for several consecutive times. The militiamen were afraid that the mines buried in the ground would become ineffective due to moisture, so they dug them out to dry. At this time, the enemy took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Zhao Tuan and robbed a large amount of people’s property. After suffering a setback and gaining wisdom, the militiamen decided to take advantage of the situation. As soon as the heavy rain stopped that day, Zhao Tonglun ordered the explosion team to set up a mine array. They laid three groups of “rubber serial mines” on the road, with three large mines tied to each group; they buried more than 100 “step mines”, “trip mines” and “clip mines” on both sides of the road; A mine was tied to the door of a house in the east, and mines were also planted in the vegetable garden. The militiamen made the streets and alleys of the entire village fluffy, as if they were filled with newly laid mine traces, setting up a “fascination array” for the enemy. The enemies who had taken advantage of the sneak attack pounced on Zhao Tuan again. They walked into the north end of the village and saw “landmines” buried everywhere, so they walked towards the east end of the village. Several enemies wanted to rob a farmer’s house, but when they opened the door Then it was blown away with a “boom”. Several enemies who went to the vegetable garden to pick potatoes were also blown down. The Japanese army was blown away, but they couldn’t get far when they heard “Boom! Boom! Boom!” Several loud noises were heard, and the chain of thunder in the middle of the road rang again, causing a large area of the enemy to fall down, and the remaining ones were hiding left and right. He dodged and stepped on the mines on both sides of the road again. The enemy had no choice but to leave their bodies and wounded and flee.
In this way, under the heavy blow of our main force, local armed forces and militia, the Japanese army was bombed everywhere. A total of 1,025 enemies were killed and injured. Three Jiaodong special model bombing villages emerged, namely Zhao Tuan, Wen Shanhou and Xiao Tan. Three national militia heroes and 13 Jiaodong militia heroes emerged, including Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu and Sun Yumin. 99 Known as a Jiaodong model and 11 Jiaodong explosion kings. The Haiyang militia not only showed their talents in Haiyang, but also organized expeditionary explosive teams to surrounding counties to cooperate with local troops on many occasions. They trained a number of explosive experts for local militia and troops, effectively supporting other areas in Jiaodong. regional war. The landmine warfare in Haiyang, Shandong Province, wrote a glorious page in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The movie “Mine Warfare” tells the story of the people of Jiaodong who united as one under the leadership of the Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War, cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to attack and eliminate the Japanese invaders, and carried out a heroic and tenacious struggle against the enemy. The main character Zhao Hu is a militia hero based on Yu Huahu, the landmine king of Haiyang County.
The movie “Landmine Warfare” uses narrative techniques to describe the determination and strength of ordinary farmers such as Zhao Hu, Yu Lan, Tian Sao, and Er Man to protect their homes and country. As a militia armed in armed struggle, they fought while producing, making full use of local natural resources to create iron and stone mines, skillfully dealing with and confronting Japanese devils and traitor lackeys, laying mines and picking up guns, and the mountains and plains were battlefields. Use strategies and tactics such as guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and mobile warfare to lure the enemy deep into the country, rescue the masses, protect the fruits of labor, and defend the country.
“When the Japanese come, we turn around, and when the Japanese leave, we attack. We hide in the dark and fire cold shots, and we lay mines and watch from a distance. The Japanese are beaten and bombed, and no one can be seen.”
In the film, the landmine warfare in Haiyang, Jiaodong and other places during the Anti-Japanese War shows its magical power. This is a portrayal of the great Chinese people’s national spirit of not surrendering to foreign humiliation, bravery, tenacity and dedication. This film is an excellent work that inherits the spirit and revitalizes China.

Insights from watching tunnel battles
During the eight years of the Chinese people’s resistance against Japan, there are many stories about using the wisdom of the people to defeat the enemy, including “Tunnel Warfare”, “Landmine Warfare”, “Sparrow Warfare” and many other stories, but my favorite is “Tunnel Warfare”.
”Tunnel Warfare” tells a story: There is a village near the enemy’s artillery tower. In order to resist the Japanese invasion, the villagers used their own method – digging tunnels, and very cleverly escaped the Japanese army’s many attacks. attack, and also blew up the Japanese artillery towers through tunnels and people’s wisdom, and finally won.
Tunnels are the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people of our country. From the movie, we know that such a very old-fashioned method has brought people unexpected victory. The tunnel in the film looks ordinary, but it has magical power. It connected the surrounding villages and became a strong anti-Japanese force. What is even more worth mentioning is that they led the tunnel under the enemy’s gun tower. This provided favorable conditions for later blowing up the gun towers. At the same time, these tunnels were heavily constructed, like a maze. Even if they were discovered by the enemy, they could close the door and beat the dogs, beating the Japanese devils to pieces. Moreover, these tunnels are also waterproof, fireproof, and poison-proof, so even people hiding in the tunnels will be safer.
In addition to the tunnel, another thing that amazed me was the “microphone”. This is a very simple instrument that solves the communication problem in the tunnel by relying on the simple scientific principle that sound propagates through object particles. Just like making a phone call, it is an amazing application.
4. Experience of visiting Hai Duong Mine Warfare
Landmine warfare was one of the most important combat methods used by the Shandong militia during the Anti-Japanese War. Landmines were the most important combat weapon at that time. During the Anti-Japanese War, landmines showed their great power, not only writing a glorious page in the history of the people’s revolutionary struggle in Haiyang, Shandong, but also inking a heavy mark in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Jiaodong. The rise of mine warfare. In Shandong, the Haiyang militia was not the first to invent and use landmines, but the Haiyang militia invented and manufactured dozens of types of landmines in practice. Haiyang’s landmine warfare is the most famous in Shandong. It played an important role in the Anti-Japanese War. Reconciliation played a huge role in the war. Objective conditions for the rise of mine warfare. The rise and development of mine warfare have their objective inevitability. China’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a war of the entire nation. Not only the army must participate, but the militia is also an important force in the entire nation’s resistance war. Since the militiamen had very poor weapons and equipment at that time and had almost no decent guns, easily manufactured landmines naturally became the militiamen’s main weapon against the Japanese army. Moreover, landmines themselves are also highly lethal. Under these conditions, the development and large-scale application of landmines became a matter of course. In the early 1940s, the Hai Duong militia did not have landmines and had no experience in using mines to attack the enemy. In the spring of 1943, the County People’s Armed Forces Committee held a meeting of directors of the district armed committees in Nanbu Village, Xiaoji District. Luan Jinjie, director of the County Armed Forces Committee, introduced the experience of the militiamen in Daze Mountain District, Pingdu County, in setting up mine formations to kill the enemy. Staff officer Yang Zhaolong taught them how to lay mines and distributed several iron mines to each district. Only then did the Haiyang militiamen begin to understand landmines and He has an indissoluble bond with mines. In May of the same year, Yu Fengming, deputy captain of the soldiers in Ruiyu Village, Xiaoji District, planted two landmines on the road between Ruiyu and Dongcun Village, killing and injuring five Japanese and puppet soldiers who came out from Xingcun Village to grab wheat. The prelude to the Haiyang mine war began. At the same time, militiamen in other villages also took active action and began to use landmines to attack the Japanese invaders. In the autumn of the same year, Zhao Tonglun, the captain of the Zhaotuan village militia, received two large landmines from the district armed committee. After returning to the village, he worked with Zhao Shoufu and other militiamen to develop several methods of laying mines, such as pull wires and trip wires. One day in early October, Zhao Tonglun led Zhao Shoufu and others to plant two trip mines near the top of Zaobu Mountain in the southwest of the village, killing and wounding 5 puppet soldiers. When the Wenshanhou village soldiers learned that the enemies in Xingcun were “sweeping” in the Heya, Zhaitou, and Xiaoji areas, instructor Li Shuzi and squad leader Yu Huahu led the village explosion team to lay two landmines in Yehu Mountain.The enemies who were “mopping up” came back from Xiaojihuan. As soon as they walked onto Yehu Mountain, they stepped on a landmine and four or five Japanese soldiers flew into the sky. The enemy panicked, and just as they turned to the front hillside, they stepped on another mine, and three more enemies met the King of Hell. The remaining enemies were so frightened that they fled back to their strongholds and did not dare to move out for more than a month. Ye Hongfu, the basic cadre leader of the Yejia villagers in the Dashan District, planted a mine in Xiejia Village, killing and wounding 5 Japanese and puppet soldiers; Yu Fengming twice led the militiamen to kill and wound 3 Japanese soldiers and 8 puppet soldiers with landmines, and killed the adjutant. One each and one translator, and one war horse was killed. The successful practice of early mine warfare greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the county’s militia, and mine warfare began to be carried out from point to area throughout the county. At first, mine warfare was only carried out in Xiaoji, Xingcun, Dashan and other districts close to enemy strongholds. Later, it gradually spread to the entire county, with militias in some villages in Yushan, Longshan, Leishi, Changshui, Gaojia, Xujiadian and other districts , successfully applied landmine warfare to counter “mopping up” and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders. After widespread landmine warfare, landmines were in short supply. In order to solve this problem, Wenshan Hou Village soldiers such as Yu Huahu, Li Shuzi, Yu Xishui, Yu Jinhu and other explosive backbones gathered together to discuss and study the issue of mine-making. After repeated trials, they developed various mines such as stone mines and trip mines. After that, village soldiers such as Zhao Tuan, “Five Tiger Village”, Luan Jia, Xia Ze and others also discovered Shi Lei. In May 1943, Yu Huahu, captain of the Wenshan Hou Village militia, led the militiamen to plant more than 70 stone mines. All of them “bloomed”, killing 17 enemies at a time. After the county and district armed committees summarized and promoted their experience, the militia across the county generally learned how to make stone mines. Since the launch of mine warfare, the enemies who came out to “mopping up” have suffered repeated setbacks and dare not act rashly. Party organizations at all levels seized this favorable opportunity to mobilize the masses to “resist donations” and “resist food”, cutting off the enemy’s source of support and causing the enemy’s strongholds to run out of food and grass. The trapped enemies sprang out like vicious tigers to “sweep” them. The militiamen in the Penzi Mountain area united to fight against the enemy. Zhaotuan, Wenshanhou, and Xiaotan villages are suitable for guerrilla warfare, and mine warfare is also the most active in these three villages. Several times the enemy tried to “mopping up” inland, but they grabbed their throats and beat them to a miserable state. As a result, the three villages were hailed as “Special Model Explosion Villages” by the Jiaodong Military Region. At that time, Zhao Tonglun and Zhao Shoufu from Zhao Tuan, Yu Huahu and Li Shuzi from Wenshan Hou, and Sun Yumin from Xiaotan Village were the most famous. Although Sun Yumin is a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, she is a powerful general who kills enemies. She once went to a village five or six miles away to deliver information, and even went deep into the tiger’s den alone to eliminate her uncle Zhang Xianbin, who was a traitor. She has taught more than 40 women how to lay and make mines. They buried some stones, copper coins, broken pot iron and other things in the mine pits to double the lethality of the mines. Zhao Tuan’s militiamen created aerial trip mines to bomb enemy commanders and cavalry. In this way, not only the “snakeheads” were beaten, but it also played a certain role in disintegrating the puppet army. At that time, the entire Penzi Mountain area became a place where militiamen carried out sparrow warfare and mine warfare. Every time the enemy dispatched, they were defeated with massive casualties. Haiyang mine warfare played a huge role in the Anti-Japanese War. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Haiyang militia used flexible landmine warfare to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army, and skillfully launched a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese invaders. It played a huge role and became an important guarantee for victory in the Anti-Japanese War. In the winter of 1943, for more than 300 days, the puppet troops came to the Dongcun area north of Zhaotuan Village to grab grain. After hearing the news, Zhao Tuan’s militiamen laid an ambush on the nearby Zhanzi Mountain and laid mine arrays on the road. When the enemy was two or three miles away from Zhao Tuan, they suddenly turned westward. At this time, Zhao Tonglun, the militia captain who was ambushing in the mountain, decisively ordered, “The sparrow group fires, and the native gunners fire the cannons to draw the enemy over!” Suddenly, the guns and cannons fired in unison, and everyone shouted to kill. The Japanese and puppet troops immediately rushed towards the militiamen. The militiamen alertly turned to the direction of the minefield and continued to fire cold shots. The enemy rushed towards the militiamen again and fell into the mine array deployed by the militiamen, killing and wounding 15 enemy people. After suffering several hardships, the cunning enemy came up with some ways to deal with landmines. When they encountered a “stepping thunder”, they used lime powder to spread a circle around it to prevent contact; when they encountered a “trip thunder”, they used iron hooks to hook it out from a distance. In order to prevent the enemy from clearing mines, we also developed the “Mother and Child Chain Mine”. When the enemy sets off the mother mine, the child mines will explode. When the enemy moved erratically, they would carry out “flying explosions”. In constant practice, they have successively created and improved more than 30 types of mines, including “Ding Zi Lei”, “Water Mine”, and “Plum Blossom Mine”, making it difficult for the enemy to guard against and being repeatedly bombarded by thunder. At that time, Zhaotuan, Wenshanhou, and Xiaotan were the villages most active in conducting landmine warfare and were the famous “Special Model Explosion Villages” of the Jiaodong Military Region. They buried a large number of landmines on the enemy’s communication lines and offensive areas. The enemy could not escape the bombings even when they walked on the main roads, small roads, cliffs, mountains, beaches and crop fields. Once, after the enemy came out of the cave to Wenshan, they found that there were landmines buried on the road. They still followed the old tradition and fished the mines with iron hooks, and then hurriedly fell down. However, the fish was fake, and the real mine exploded where the enemy lay down. Suddenly, the traitor captain and several Japanese soldiers were blown up into the sky together. In order to deal with the enemy’s mine clearance team, the militiamen dug up new soil everywhere, deliberately showing suspicious traces, and buried mines in places where there was no new soil, so that the enemy was deceived. When the enemy discovered the secret of landmines in places where there was no new soil, the militiamen buried landmines in the new soil and planted straw men next to the new soil. The straw men had the slogan “Down with the Japanese ghosts” written on them. The enemy immediately If you see it, you will definitely step forward to pull it out angrily, and you will be struck by lightning. In order to stun the enemy, the militiamen also studied a “slow mine” that automatically ignites in the belly of the mine. Once, the Japanese picked up the mine and carefully brought it back for study. Suddenly, the mine exploded, blowing the enemies in the room to pieces. Wherever the Japanese and puppet troops went, landmines rang out, and the enemies were killed and wounded every time they “mopped up”. There was a ballad circulated among the masses at that time: “The iron watermelon of Haiyang is famous all over the world. Boom, boom, boom, the bombs made the devils blossom.” In order to avoid being struck by thunder, the enemy came up with a more vicious plan. The method is to let the common people open the way in front. One time, the enemy wanted to come out to grab food, so they captured some people from near the station and forced them to lead their animals to clear the way through thunder in front, while the enemy followed behind. In order not to hurt the unwarranted people, the militiamen invented a “long vine thunder”. After the people in front passed by, the militiamen ambushing nearby quickly pulled the long line. With several loud noises, the enemy’s flesh and blood flew everywhere. , but the old man was safe and sound. As the enemy was hit repeatedly, the number of troops was greatly damaged. In order to survive, all the Japanese and puppet troops on the periphery were concentrated in the Xingcun stronghold, and the surrounding people were forced to feed inside. Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu and other militiamen went deep into Dongshan, Penghuazhuang, Nanbozi and other villages, mobilized the masses to cut off the enemy’s supply, organized them to build armed forces, and learn minelaying techniques. The enemy in the stronghold was left empty-handed, so they had to use cars to transport them here from Qingdao. Our militiamen planted tin mines on the Qingwei Highway where the enemy’s cars passed, blowing up a car running in front, and the other three cars hurriedly turned around and fled. The militiamen swarmed over and unloaded a lot of rice and flour from the truck, all of which were handed over to the district committee. The enemy failed to transport food by land and switched to transporting food by sea. The ship sailed to the south of Hejia Village. There was no dock there and the ship could not reach the shore. The Japanese army asked the puppet troops to go into the water to carry food. Through investigation, Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu and others found out the enemy’s round-trip route to the water to carry food, and buried mines on the enemy’s way in advance. When the enemy approached the shore carrying food, the underwater mines exploded simultaneously, and the enemy A large number of people fell dead in the water, and the militiamen took the opportunity to steal the food. Later, the enemy switched to using planes to transport food, but there were more wolves and less meat, which simply could not meet the needs. Therefore, it could only be thrown to the Japanese army at “West Temple”. But the plane flew too low and was beaten, and it flew too high and the throw was inaccurate. After three attempts, only a pack of cans was thrown into the “West Temple”, and the rest fell outside the fence and became comfort items for the militiamen. . The trapped enemy was restless. On May 19, 1945, more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops invaded the “Five Tiger Village” and fell into a minefield. They walked less than five miles in five hours and stepped on more than 20 landmines, killing more than 30 people. In the same year, it was awarded the honorable title of “Combat Model Village” by the Jiaodong Military Region. In May 1945, more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops occupied the Penzi Mountain area. The Haiyang militia launched an unprecedented mine explosion war against the enemy and achieved a major victory. On May 18, enemies at the Xingcun stronghold attacked Zhao Tuan. Zhao Tonglun, Zhao Shoufu and others obtained this information in advance and led the militiamen to place mine arrays in the village. The enemy broke into the woods to the north of the village and set off trip mines; then rushed towards the intersection and set off “box mines”, killing and wounding 16 Japanese and puppet troops in total, and killing one war horse. On the 19th of the same month, more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops invaded the “Five Tiger Village”.From 10 am to 3 pm, I walked less than 5 miles and stepped on more than 20 landmines. On the afternoon of the 26th, more than 600 Japanese and puppet troops in the Sogezhuang stronghold retreated southward in three routes. Yu Huahu, captain of the Wenshan Hou Village soldiers, led the explosion team to quickly deploy mines to stop the enemy. More than 200 puppet troops arrived at the west of the village first, stepped on three landmines one after another, and did not dare to move. More than 200 Japanese troops arrived shortly after and stepped on a landmine at the northwest end of the village and a series of mines on the river bank, causing heavy casualties. The enemy troops were surrounded by mines and were in a dilemma. They had to carry more than 40 dead and injured people and flee to the strongholds of Kuangli and Sunjiakuang villages. In late May, the Japanese and puppet troops set up strongholds in Sunjiakuang Village and Kuangli Village, posing a great threat to militia activities and the safety of the masses. The Dashan District Combat Command dispatched more than 20 explosive experts from Yejia, Xiujia, Daigezhuang, Huaijiabo and other villages. Led by Yu Dongshan, director of the District Armed Forces Committee, they went to the top of Huangshan Mountain at night to lay mines. After that, the militiamen went up to the mountains to lay landmines every night, and the enemy was bombed every day, causing heavy casualties. After being bombed many times, the Japanese and puppet troops summed up a rule of thumb: take small roads, not big roads; take water roads, not dry roads. This actually reduced the chances of the Japanese being bombed, but this experience soon became ineffective. The militiamen also planted landmines on the paths and waterways, but the Japanese were still bombed. There is a river in the south of Xiaotan Village, which is the only place where the Japanese and puppet troops from the village must pass to their stronghold in Xuefangzhuang, Laiyang. To avoid the mines, the enemy walked in the water. Xiaotan village soldiers Sun Zaoxun, Sun Yumin, Sun Chunxu and others made nine mines and quickly buried them in the river when the enemy was about to arrive. The Japanese and puppet troops waded across the river and all nine mines exploded. In early June, for more than 300 days, the puppet troops in the Sunjiakuang stronghold went to Xingcun to transport supplies. When they arrived at the mouth of Dongjiqian Port in Zhaotuan Village, they fell into the “Long Snake Thunder Array” deployed by Zhaotuan’s militia. On the two-mile long road, mines With continuous roaring, the enemy dodged left and right, but failed to avoid the thunder array. More than 30 people were killed and wounded. One day in June at noon, the Japanese and puppet troops concentrated a battalion and attacked Wenshanhou Village. While militia captain Yu Huahu sent people to report to nearby troops, he also directed the militiamen to use guns and cannons to lure the enemy into the minefield in Hetao. The bombing made the enemy cover his head and turn around, turning to climb up the mountain in the southwest. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed. The 16th Regiment, the main force of our army, attacked there. The enemy had to push up to Yehu Mountain and was attacked by the county’s independent battalion. They fled to the northeast and were beaten back by the Wenshan Xixiang militiamen who were ambushing there. When the enemy was squeezed into the Loop for the second time, mines were opened one after another. The Japanese and puppet troops killed and injured more than 70 people and captured more than 30 people. During the 105 days when people in the Penzi Mountain area carried out anti-“mopping up” operations, the Haiyang militia cooperated with the troops to lay more than 2,500 mines, killing and injuring more than 200 Japanese and puppet soldiers. In July, the Jiaodong Armed Forces Committee held a meeting to summarize experience in the fight against “mopping up” in Gaojia, Haiyang County. The conference summarized and promoted the experience of the “Five Tiger Village” in Haiyang County and the people’s joint defense against the enemy in Penzi Mountain District. At the same time, 13 people including Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu, Sun Yumin, Yu Jinjiang, Zhao Tonglun, Ji Changsheng, Ji Zhongsheng, Chen Guixiang, Ji Yan, Ji Hongfu, Luan Hengyue, Sui Liangxuan, and Leng Shizhu were awarded as Jiaodong Militia Heroes. The Haiyang mine warfare effectively supported the war of resistance in other areas of Jiaodong. The Haiyang militia not only showed their talents in Haiyang, but also organized expeditionary explosive teams many times under the orders of the superior armed committee to cooperate with local troops in surrounding counties. They trained a number of explosive experts for local militia and troops, which effectively supported the The Anti-Japanese War in relevant areas promoted the Anti-Japanese War in the entire Jiaodong region and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in Jiaodong region. In the winter of 1943, more than 60 people, including Zhao Shoufu, Yu Huahu, Zhao Tonglun, and Luan Hengyue, formed the Jiaodong Explosion Team and headed to Laiyang. They laid mines outside Laiyang City. The Japanese and puppet troops were blocked and did not dare to move out. In the same year, Luan Jinjie, director of the County Armed Forces Committee, and others gathered 50 militiamen in Zizhukuang Village, Xiaoji District, entered Laiyang Wuchidu at night, attacked Zhao Baoyuan’s contact point, and captured 6 enemies. During the evacuation, mines were laid and all the enemies stepped on them. On May 6, 1945, Japanese and puppet troops from all walks of life gathered in Laiyang City. Zhao Shoufu was ordered to lead an expeditionary explosive team to Laiyang City and the Dongxuan River area, laying 20 landmines and killing and wounding more than 20 enemies. In October 1944, the Jiaodong Military Region dispatched five explosive team members, Yu Huahu, captain of the Wenshanhou villagers and explosion king, to the Yanwei line to carry out mine warfare, which lasted more than four months. They taught more than 1,000 militiamen how to lay mines in Huang County (today’s Longkou City) and Penglai area. Once, Yu Huahu and others planted more than 20 mines near Penglai City, killing and wounding 28 Japanese and puppet soldiers. In January 1945, the Jiaodong District Armed Forces Committee sent Yu Fengming to lead a four-man explosion team and went to Penglai to perform the mission. In more than ten days, Yu Fengming and others taught more than 600 troops and militiamen to learn explosive techniques, and laid mines to blockade the Daxindian stronghold, killing and wounding more than 40 enemies. They were commended by the Jiaodong Armed Forces Committee. In early May 1945, Zhao Tonglun was appointed by the Jiaodong Military Region to lead Zhao Bingkun and other five explosive team members.

5. Experience from visiting Haiyang Mine Warfare Party Education Base
Mine warfare is a story that took place in what is now Haiyang County, Shandong Province (now Haiyang City). Mine warfare was one of the most important combat methods used by the Haiyang militia during the Anti-Japanese War. Landmines were the most important combat weapon at that time. During the Anti-Japanese War, Haiyang landmines showed their power, killing and wounding 1,025 enemies in total. Three Jiaodong special model explosion villages emerged, Zhao Tuan, Wenshanhou, and Xiaotan, and three national militiamen, Hua Hu, Zhao Shoufu, and Sun Yumin, emerged. The heroes and the 13 Jiaodong militia heroes, 99 Jiaodong models, and 11 Jiaodong explosion kings not only wrote a glorious page in the history of the Haiyang people’s revolutionary struggle, but also painted a heavy mark in the history of the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese War.

8. Hai Duong Mine Warfare Live Performance
During the Anti-Japanese War, Zhaojiazhuang, a village on the edge of the Jiaodong Anti-Japanese Base Area, and several nearby villages were often attacked and “mopped up” by Japanese and puppet troops, resulting in heavy losses. Bian Toutiao Lai
For this reason, Director Lei of the District Armed Forces Committee and Zhao Hu, captain of the Zhaojiazhuang militia, relied on the masses and came up with countermeasures. On the one hand, they organized militias from several villages into a joint defense and strengthened their armed forces; on the other hand, they used earth-made mines to blockade nearby Japanese and puppet strongholds, thus effectively combating the arrogance of the Japanese army. In order to deal with the mine array, the Japanese squadron leader Nakano specially moved engineers from Qingdao, invaded Zhaojiazhuang, and burned, killed, and looted wantonly. Zhaojiazhuang’s militiamen learned their lessons and continuously improved their landmine technology so that enemy engineers could not set off mines. During the wheat harvest season, the Japanese and puppet troops took advantage of the opportunity of the joint defense militia to seize the wheat harvest and once again attacked Zhaojiazhuang and kidnapped some villagers. They asked the captured villagers to step on landmines in front of the team and attacked Zhaojiazhuang again. Zhao Hu led the militiamen to cleverly place mine arrays and use various types of homemade mines such as multi-unit mines, chain mines, nail mines, gravel mines, iron clip mines, and hair wire mines to attack the enemy. With the cooperation of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, after a fierce battle, the captured people were finally rescued and the invading enemies were wiped out.
