After the enemy retreated from Xingxian County, the political department received a phone call from the headquarters the afternoon our army's command organ just moved back to its original headquarters. According to the report of the scout, a Japanese soldier was found in the yard of a common people. He was left behind and did not withdraw. The scout shot inside outside the yard, and the Japanese soldier shot outside in the cave and refused to hand over his gun. The leaders instructed the Political Department to send Japanese-speaking cadres from the enemy's Ministry of Works to do the work and try to catch them alive. After receiving the notice, Minister Chen Zhong of the Ministry of War decided to go by Pei Yadong.
After Pei Yadong accepted the task, the security company of the Political Department sent a class as the security force. At dusk that day, they arrived at Shangcun on the north slope, and the troops surrounded the gate yard. Pei Yadong climbed onto the roof opposite the cave where the Japanese soldiers were located and began to shout in Japanese. Your team has retreated, and they don't care about you. We give preferential treatment to Japanese prisoners. If you don't kill them, you hand over your weapons. He shouted for two hours, but the Japanese soldiers ignored him at all, so they had to rest.
At first light the next day, Pei Yadong continued to shout for an hour or two. When he shouted again not to kill prisoners and give them preferential treatment, the Japanese soldiers responded. After communication, he threw the rifle, bayonet and Grenade out. Pei Yadong advanced into the yard, walked to the door of the cave, and then the guards came in. When Japanese soldiers saw soldiers armed to the teeth, they were afraid. As soon as Pei Yadong entered the cave, Japanese soldiers hugged him. The Japanese soldiers did not hand over all their weapons, and there was a gossip Grenade in their hands. Pei Yadong took the Grenade from the Japanese soldier and handed it to the soldier, helped him out of the door, and then let him ride on a horse. At this time, he was still afraid, and when he saw the soldiers following him, he rode a horse and held Pei Yadong in one hand, fearing that the soldiers would shoot him.
After walking for nearly ten miles, we arrived at the political station of Hujiagou. On the one hand, our staff treated him with swollen feet, on the other hand, they carried out policy education and political work. Under the most difficult living conditions, soldiers eat black beans, but give him preferential treatment, give him white flour, and often buy him pork in Xing County. Finally, it affected Japanese soldiers. After political education, he didn't want to go back to the army. At that time, our policy was to release those who were willing to go back and send those who were unwilling to go back to Yan' an Japanese school for study. He agreed to go to Yan 'an and was later trained as a Japanese cadre.
