193865438+1October 10, the Japanese marine corps dispatched 50 planes to land in the first area of Qingdao, Shandong Province, and then entered the urban area, and Qingdao fell. By 17, the whole Ji Jiao railway was occupied by the enemy. The Japanese invaders took Qingdao as the bridgehead and base of the war of aggression against China, and stationed a large number of armed forces in Qingdao.

The Japanese troops stationed in Qingdao are: Sang Yuan Qinggen, commander of Lieutenant General's Naval Command. Jurisdiction over Qingdao urban area and the sea surface around Shandong Peninsula and the land within 92 kilometers along the coast. There are 1 medium-sized aircraft carriers, more than 40 aircraft, 1 medium-sized cruisers, 2 medium-sized destroyers, 3 small destroyers, 2 brigades of the Marine Corps, and a standby land airport for women. The Army Brigade, code-named Tong 4270, has jurisdiction over 16, 17, 18, 19, the 20th Brigade and its subordinate detachments, with a total of more than 5,000 people. The brigade is responsible for guarding Qingdao Port, Dengzhou Road, Ji Jiao Railway, areas east and south of wei county and Yizhou Road. It governs the suburbs of Qingdao and the positions in eastern Shandong, with a total army strength of about 8,000 people, including infantry, artillery, cavalry, trench soldiers and engineers. It is equipped with 4 small tanks, more than 65,438 light and heavy machine guns, more than 30 small guns, more than 200 cars and 3 reconnaissance planes. The Qingdao Gendarmerie has jurisdiction over several gendarmes, such as the Water Gendarmerie, Cangkou Gendarmerie, and the Gendarmerie along the eastern section of Ji Jiao Road. Later, the Japanese army stationed in Qingdao for a long time added the Qingdao Army Secret Service, Qingdao Marine Corps Command, Navy Fourth Fleet, Army, Xiao Force, Imamura Force, Inoue Force, Resident Command, Naval Aviation, Army Hospital, Naval School, etc. At the most, there were more than 30,000 Japanese troops stationed in Qingdao, which was the place with the highest rank, the most concentrated heads of government, the most complete arms, the best equipment and the largest number of Japanese troops in Jiaodong and even Shandong.

1938, 1 In February, 2008, Japanese troops led by Nakamura invaded Pingdu City. At the beginning of February, 3,000 Japanese troops from the 5th Division invaded Qingdao along the Qingdao-Yantai Highway. Occupy Yantai and Fushan, and then divide the troops into two ways: all the way east to Mu Ping and Weihai, and all the way west to Penglai, Huangxian and Yexian. On March 7th, 500 Japanese naval personnel landed in Weihai, and Jiaodong gradually fell. On April 29th, the 5th Division handed over the task of occupying Ji Jiao Railway and Lubei to the 5th Hunchenglv, leaving four squadrons behind.

After 1939, the Japanese army concentrated more than 50% of its troops, and the puppet troops concentrated more than 90% of their troops, frantically "mopping up" and "clearing up" the anti-Japanese base areas behind our enemy lines, and implemented the policies of "nibbling" and "encirclement and suppression" in an attempt to put out the raging anti-Japanese fire. The Japanese puppet troops set up a stronghold every twenty or thirty miles around the Dazeshan anti-Japanese base area in Jiaodong. In the east, there are strongholds such as Datian, Racecourse, Old Shop (now pingdu city), Rizhuang and Nanshu (now Laixi). In the west, there are strongholds such as Ant, Xiaqiubao, Shahe (now Laizhou), Gaowangshan, Huabu, Dianzi, Tangtian, Mencun and Xinhe (now pingdu city). In the south, there are strongholds such as Gushanhou, Beitai, Jiajiaying, pingdu city, Wangjiazhan, Liaolan, Landi, Malan and Guxian (now pingdu city). In the north, there are strongholds such as Qilibao, Xiaomiaohou and Yexian (now Laizhou). Around the Dazeshan anti-Japanese base area, there are many strongholds and roads are networked. In Pingdu, there are 2 1 Japanese puppet army strongholds. In Yexian, the 15 stronghold and more than 70 bunkers were built. In Laiyang, Zhaoyuan and other major traffic arteries and important villages and towns, a large number of Japanese and puppet strongholds have also been built.

In order to ensure the traffic line, the Japanese army forced the villagers to dismantle the "anti-Japanese ditch" and build roads and bridges. In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from ambushing on the highway, it is forbidden to plant sorghum and other tall crops within ten miles on both sides of the highway. Villages are also required to erect signboards at the entrance of the village and hang plaster flags and pseudo-five-color flags at the head of the village. Wherever the Japanese puppet troops went, the villagers lined up to welcome them. Forcibly implement the Baojia system, implement joint defense, issue citizen's cards, join the Xinmin Association, set up a pseudo-self-defense group, check roads at night, send information to strongholds every day, and deliver food and money on time.

After 1940, the Japanese puppet troops stepped up their "mopping up" of the anti-Japanese base areas, and the Dazeshan area in the central and western Jiaodong was surrounded by layers, especially the Japanese puppet troops in pingdu city, Yexian, Xiaqiubao, Xiaomiaohou, Gaowangshan, Chinatown, Datian and Racecourse, which caused great threats and losses to the anti-Japanese base areas and the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

Pingdu City stronghold 1938 In February, Japanese troops invaded Pingdu City and abandoned the city for more than two months to retreat. In the same year, in June+10, 5438, the Japanese army invaded Pingdu city for the second time, and there was a squadron of Japanese troops 160 people. 1941March, the Eighth Army Command of the Puppet North China appeasement Army and the 22nd Regiment under its jurisdiction were stationed in Pingdu City. At this time, there were more than 3,000 Japanese troops, pseudo-appeasement troops, pseudo-guard troops and pseudo-self-defense groups (Imperial Association Army) in Pingdu. 1945, after the Japanese army surrendered unconditionally, the Japanese puppet troops in Yexian and other places were concentrated in Pingdu City, with a maximum of more than 6,000 people (including 600 Japanese troops). On August 7, the Eighth Route Army attacked Pingdu City. On the morning of the 8th, the Japanese army fled, and in the morning of 10, all the puppet troops stationed in the city were wiped out.

Yexian stronghold is the strategic location of Hai Jie and Dazeshan anti-Japanese base areas. On February 1938 and 1 day, after the independent mixed brigade invaded Yexian, Zhang Zongyuan led more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops and invaded Yexian from Pingdu. 6543810.5, for "mopping up" the anti-Japanese base areas in Zhao Ye and Laiwu, the Japanese troops in Fangzi and Tuoshan of West Road joined forces with the Japanese puppet troops in Huangxian and Longkou of East Road in Yexian County. 10 On June 5438+05, more than 30 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet troops invaded Yexian. 1in the spring of 940, Commander-in-Chief Oshima of Gao (Mi), Ping (Du), Yexian (County) and Zhao (Yuan) Japanese Puppet invaded Yexian, and successively set up strongholds in 1 1 at Yecheng, Xiaqiubao and Xiaomiao. 194 1 in March, 2008, more than 300 people from 3 infantry battalions, heavy machine gun companies and cavalry companies directly under the 2nd1regiment of the Eighth Army of the Puppet North China appeasement Army invaded Yexian County. 1 Battalion's regimental headquarters and Company 3 are stationed in Yecheng, while the rest are stationed in five key strongholds, such as Xiaqiubao and Xiaomiaohou. Until September 1945, the regiment fled to Pingdu with the Japanese army.

Xiaqiubao stronghold Xiaqiubao, located at the junction of Yexian and Pingdu in the west of Daze Mountain, is the important town and gateway of Yan 'an. 1In August, 940, the Japanese army built a stronghold between Xiaqiubao and Xiaochujia Village. The Japanese stronghold and the Gaowangshan and Huabu strongholds in Pingdu are mutually horns, blocking the connection between the anti-Japanese base areas and Haibei and Pingxi. There are nine bunkers in this stronghold, which are divided into east and west courtyards. Japanese squad leader Tanabe is in command, leading more than 30 Japanese troops to carry out the construction, and Liu Zhenhai, the captain of the puppet guard, leads the puppet troops to supervise the construction. Because in the process of building a stronghold, people around you are very passive, and it will not be completed until winter. After the stronghold was completed, the West Campus was stationed in the devils and the East Campus was stationed in the puppet troops. The Japanese army Cao, Cao and Cao were stationed here successively. 194 1 March, the 3rd Battalion, 8th Company and 9th Company of the 8th Army of the Puppet North China appeasement Army were stationed. So far, there are more than 300 Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold. 1September, 945, Japanese puppet troops fled to Pingdu city.

Xiaomiaohou Shanzhai is located at the foot of the north side of Daze Mountain at the junction of Yexian and Pingdu. Because of the high terrain behind the small temple, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can block Dazeshan area in the south and Yecheng in the north, and seize the passage to Laiyang and Pingdu in the southeast. It is an ideal place with both offensive and defensive functions. 1940 12.27, Tanaka led more than 200 Japanese troops and more than 200 puppet troops. Under the threat of bayonets, more than 50 families in Xiaomiaohou village were driven out of their homes and began to build strongholds. In the process of building the stronghold, it took more than a year to build it because of the constant attacks and harassment by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. There are two brick walls around the stronghold, with a total length of 1800 meters, a height of 5 meters and a top height of 2 meters. There is a three-layer turret at each corner, and the height exceeds 10 meter. There are two prisons (one for Japanese puppet troops), an infirmary and a brothel within the fence. Outside the fence is a trench more than 3 meters deep and 5 meters wide. There are stakes and thistles outside the trench. There are more than 40 Japanese troops in the stronghold, a squadron of the 2 nd battalion of the pseudo-Lai Wei Road Guard and a search team. In March, the 8th Army 194 1 Battalion and 1 2 Company of the Puppet North China appeasement Army were stationed. So far, there are about 300 Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold. 1September, 945, Japanese puppet troops fled to Pingdu city.

The enemies of these strongholds participated in the "mopping-up" of the Eighth Route Army and local armed forces many times, which caused many tragedies of killing anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians and was unforgivable.
