China's guerrilla warfare is the world's military pinnacle, and to this day, it is beyond the reach of all opponents. It originated in the Jinggangshan period, and after the tempering and baptism of the agrarian revolution, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, by the time of the liberation of the whole country, the People's Liberation Army had a pure grasp of it from top to bottom.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many small units of the Volunteer Army were stranded in the rear of the US army, and they have been using guerrilla warfare to deal with the US army, causing a headache for the US army. The US military has repeatedly sent large troops to clear and suppress, but it has repeatedly pounced on the air. The U.S. army, which had no way to do anything, even invited the Japanese army as an adviser, but to no avail.
There is a certain reason for the US military to invite the Japanese army.
The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was precisely the period of vigorous development of guerrilla warfare, and the Japanese army had a personal understanding of the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and deeply understood its might. However, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army did not take it seriously at all, believing that it was just the blind toss of the rabble-rousers.
Not only the Japanese army, but also friendly troops, were suspicious of guerrilla warfare between the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. At the meeting of the generals of the Eastern Route Army in the Second Theater of Operations in March 1938, the friendly forces questioned the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army on the spot, and even asked the Eighth Route Army to use guerrilla warfare to fight a battle with the Japanese army to show them.
The situation was not optimistic.
The Japanese army was marching south from Taiyuan along the Tongpu Road. The Kuomintang had collapsed into an army, and Yan Xishan handed over all the troops on the east side of the Tongpu Road (the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army) to Zhu De, and he ran to the west bank of the Yellow River with a smoke.
Faced with such a mess, Zhu De resolutely provoked the great task of the Shanxi War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and convened a meeting of the generals of the Eastern Route Army on March 24, 1938, to discuss the great plan of the War of Resistance.
On the last day of the meeting, Liu Bocheng specifically expounded the four methods of guerrilla warfare: raids, ambushes, surprise attacks, and reinforcements. After he finished speaking, the venue immediately remembered a warm applause. But unexpectedly, Zhu Huaibingpi, commander of the friendly 94th Division, said with a smile: "General Liu is indeed a veritable guerrilla expert... If you can see it once, the brother will be convinced."
The eighth route army generals present knew that Zhu Huaibing did not have good intentions, but for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, they did not have a seizure. Unexpectedly, Zhu Huaibing had to advance again, and asked the Eighth Route Army to fight a battle with the Japanese army within 3 days with guerrilla warfare, and also limited the specific location.
Zhu Huaibing originally thought that liu Bocheng was embarrassed, but he did not expect Liu Bocheng to meditate for a moment and then calmly say: "Just on the morning of the 31st (3 days later), the battle began at 9 o'clock, the battle ended at 11 o'clock, and at 11:30 ate the lunch sent by the Japanese."
Liu Bocheng's confidence in this way surprised the friendly generals present, but the generals of the Eighth Route Army all understood.
On the morning of the 31st, more than 30 friendly generals arrived at the observation position. Here, Liu Bocheng will demonstrate to friendly troops how to use guerrilla warfare to strike at the Japanese army.
But there was silence all around, there was no movement, not even the shadow of a soldier of the Eighth Route Army could be seen.
Zhu Huaibing couldn't help but ask Zhu De, "What about your troops?" ”
Zhu De calmly reassured him and didn't say anything more.
After ten minutes, the Japanese army seemed to be arranged to fish through, and there were 200 cars with no end in sight.
The friendly generals present were agitated. In particular, Zhu Huaibing kept nagging in his mouth, sometimes complaining that the observation position was too close to the Japanese army, and sometimes worried that the Japanese planes would drop bombs...
But Zhu De, Peng Dehuai and others were as calm as water.
The Japanese were getting closer, and the cars in the front were already driving past the observation positions. But there was still no movement around, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had not yet come, only the dozens of people in the observation group, alone.
More and more cars drove through the observation position, and when it was almost halfway through, three red signal flares suddenly rose in front of the observation position, followed by a burst of gunfire, which instantly filled the ears of the observation members.
Before the members of the friendly observation could react, countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed towards the Japanese army as if they had emerged from the ground.
A tough battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army was fought in front of friendly forces.
This was Liu Bocheng's use of guerrilla ambush tactics to ambush his troops in advance in the necessary places for the Japanese army. When the Japanese army entered the ambush circle, it suddenly concentrated on firing, catching it off guard.
At 2 hours, the battle ended in victory. The Eighth Route Army wiped out more than 400 Japanese troops, blew up more than 180 cars, captured nearly 500 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and a mountain of Japanese canned goods.
An ambush battle ended, and hundreds of Japanese troops disappeared in the middle of laughter.
Liu Bocheng used the canned food of the Japanese army to entertain Zhu Huaibing and others for lunch as scheduled.
After witnessing the battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army, the friendly troops finally realized the power of guerrilla warfare and gradually paid attention to it. A year later, a "guerrilla cadre training course" was set up in Nanyue to train guerrilla generals on the anti-Japanese battlefield.
The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Friendly Army were all anti-Japanese troops and heroes of the Chinese nation. However, because the Kuomintang cannot take root among the masses of the people and cannot proceed from the overall interests of the Chinese nation, it has only learned the superficial methods of guerrilla warfare, but has never been able to understand the true meaning of guerrilla warfare, and its strategic thinking has always remained at a low level. In the end, it could not escape the domino bone like a loss
From the very beginning, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army grasped the true meaning of guerrilla warfare, so they were able to win one victory after another... In the end, the ancient Chinese nation was brought to the fast track of historical development and was always full of vitality.
