In 1937, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, founding lieutenant general Wang Jinshan served as the commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and under the command and leadership of Marshal Liu Bocheng and General Chen Geng, he crossed the Yellow River to Shanxi to participate in the war.
In October, Wang Jinshan disobeyed the military order without receiving instructions from his superiors, and set up an ambush to completely annihilate the enemy's heavy troops without authorization, and Wang Jinshan personally went to General Chen Geng with cigarettes captured from the battlefield to apologize and ask him to forgive him.
Unexpectedly, When General Chen Geng saw the situation, he just smiled and said without any concern: "As long as the battle is won, it is a good thing." ”
In October 1937, after the fall of Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province, the Japanese army immediately marched south, in a vain attempt to attack the Area of Niangziguan in Yangquan by cooperating with the Japanese army in Taiyuan.
Liu Bocheng, commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, personally issued operational orders, and Chen Geng, commander of the 386th Brigade, led two main battle regiments to the front line of Niangziguan in the night of the stars, respectively, to build fortifications in the area of Taojialing and Qiqi Village, and cooperate with the Jin Sui Army of Commander Yan Xishan to contain the Japanese attack and prepare to block the enemy on the spot.
Originally, Wang Jinshan's task was to lead the 772nd Regiment to block the enemy west of Mashan Village, but the 771st Regiment exposed its identity and location because of the whistle-blowing of the villain, which attracted an attack by a Japanese infantry company and a cavalry squadron, and suffered heavy losses.
Defeated before the battle, Liu Bocheng was so anxious that he hurriedly ordered Chen Geng to personally go to the village of Qiqi to sit in the town, and must block the only way for the Japanese army to advance west.
Chen Geng saw the terrain of Qiqi Village and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is simply the best place to fight an ambush!" ”
Therefore, he immediately called Wang Jinshan and asked him to lead the 772nd Regiment to set up an ambush in the village of Qiqi and annihilate the enemy.
Before Wang Jinshan was ordered to set off, he made a large mobilization of the whole army: "We must avenge the snow and hatred for the 771 Regiment, and we must pick up the skin and cramp the hateful Japanese army, and we must fight this battle well!" ”
Subsequently, Wang Jinshan left some people to continue to defend and counterattack in Mashan Village, and he personally led 5 companies to secretly lurk in the mountains south of Qiqi Village to actively build fortifications, and obeyed orders to fight ambushes at any time.
Soon after the ambush was completed, the traffic officers on the front line suddenly received news that a heavy Japanese army was surveying the fish town to load supplies, and it was expected to pass through the village of Qiqi tomorrow.
After hearing this news, Wang Jinshan was very excited in his heart, but he also understood that it was very difficult to deal with the Japanese army armed to the teeth and well-equipped with only the strength of the 5 companies in his hands.
Moreover, the main force of the 386th Brigade is still dozens of miles away, and if you want to ask for instructions, the fast horse also has to go for a day and a night, the time cost is too high, and it is simply too late.
Therefore, Wang Jinshan simply made a decision: this time he acted on camera, even if he disobeyed the military order, he had to send troops without authorization, and the Japanese army was caught off guard.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Jinshan opened his eyes early and ordered all the warriors to be covered with grass and leaves, disguise themselves, and blend in with the surrounding environment.
The dew of early autumn was heavy, dripping cold on their clothes, but the warriors clenched their teeth and did not move in order to win the battle.
At 9:00 a.m., Wang Jinshan passed through the telescope and saw in the distance that the Japanese heavy team with the plaster flag floating on the front of the car slowly approached from far and near.
Perhaps because the continuous retreat of the Nationalist army gave the Japanese army great confidence, this will make the Japanese army very rampant, just like the family to fight and make trouble, so that Wang Jinshan saw a burst of fire in his heart, and immediately issued an order: "When the Japanese army is close, immediately start fighting, do not save bullets!" ”
After the careless Japanese army entered the firing range, Wang Jinshan very decisively issued the shooting order, and in an instant, the bullets were shot down like a cloud and rain on the head of the Japanese army.
Several officers on horseback immediately fell to their deaths on the spot, the head car of the Japanese heavy convoy broke down, directly sealing the way forward of the convoy behind, several horses heard the gunshots, hissed loudly, and rammed into the narrow valley, and the Formation of the Japanese Army immediately became chaotic.
Wang Jinshan saw the situation, immediately ordered the blowing of the charge trumpet, and then personally brandished a large knife and rushed down the mountain, the Japanese heavy team was in the chaos of the soldiers and horses, just ready to raise the gun to aim, Wang Jinshan's large knife team had rushed to the front, a flash of silver light flashed, and the Japanese army immediately crossed the corpse.
After the battle, Wang Jinshan led the 772nd Regiment to annihilate more than 300 enemy troops, capture more than 300 mules and horses, and countless precious materials of various kinds, and moved for a long time before finally transporting them away.
Chen Geng, who was in command in the rear, did not receive the news until Wang Jinshan had finished the battle in disobedience, and there was a dense gunfire coming from the direction of Qiquan Village, which made him realize that Wang Jinshan had already begun to fight, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and scolded: "This Wang Crazy Maniac is really crazy." ”
After the victory in the battle, Wang Jinshan, unscathed, took the captured cigarettes unscathed, personally went to the brigade headquarters to make amends, handed the cigarettes to Chen Geng, and said with an embarrassed face: "Brigade Commander, I attacked without permission without asking for instructions, it is disobedience and violation of military law, you punish me." ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Geng laughed and patted Wang Jinshan's shoulder: "Winning is a good battle, and I want to remember you a great deed." ”
Then, Chen Geng rode on the Oriental horse captured by Wang Jinshan and rushed to the division headquarters to report the good news of the great victory of the ambush to Liu Bocheng.
Liu Bocheng was also very excited, staring at the military map on the wall for a long time, and then issued an order to Chen Geng: "I look at this Village of Qigang, can I fight another ambush?" ”
Chen Geng understood and nodded, "For the second ambush, I also recommend Comrade Wang Jinshan to go, he is bold and careful, and he has great general talent." ”
Two days later, Wang Jinshan set up a second ambush at the same location, annihilated more than 100 enemy troops, created a battlefield miracle, and was listed as one of the world's top ten classic tactics.
