The 14-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was accomplished jointly with the Frontal War of Resistance of the Kuomintang Army and the War of Resistance Behind enemy Lines of the Eighth Route Army; in particular, after entering the stage of strategic stalemate, the War of Resistance Behind enemy lines in the Battlefield of North China and the New Fourth Army in various base areas in Jiangnan showed an even more prominent and important role.
Speaking of General Wei Lihuang, he has always been known as the old General Jiang Wuhu, but among these five tiger generals, the other four do not have real talent and practical learning, only Wei Lihuang has always been praised as a general who has always been praised as a general of constant victory, but unfortunately he has never been reused, because of his adherence to the united front on the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wei Lihuang has been falsely accused, and because of the relationship with our army, after the founding of New China, General Wei Lihuang returned to the mainland of the motherland and made meritorious contributions to national construction.
In March 1938, more than a thousand Japanese troops launched a fierce attack on the Jinggou and Wucheng areas, and launched a fierce battle with the Kuomintang troops stationed in the local area, although Wei Lihuang personally commanded, but still defeated the Japanese army, because the battle was very difficult, Wei Lihuang planned to withdraw from the battlefield, because he suspected that there were traitors within himself, so Wei Lihuang found the Eighth Route Army, and hoped that the Eighth Route Army would organize a blockade battle to buy time for the retreat of the troops.
After the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army inquired, it quickly dispatched the 686th Regiment, which was commanded by the regimental commander Yang Yong, who was awarded the rank of general after the founding of New China, and after carefully surveying the terrain, Yang Yong sent a company of troops to stick to the high ground and wait for the Japanese army to attack, while Wei Lihuang was together with Yang Yong in the command post to observe the situation of the blockade battle, so that the situation of lack of support could be sent at any time, and soon the Japanese army pounced on it with great momentum, and the two sides became entangled.
However, due to the stubborn and bitter fighting of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, and later launched several consecutive charges, all of which were blocked by our army, even if the Japanese army later dispatched artillery and other heavy fire weapons, but when the artillery fire stopped, the position was still firmly in the hands of our army, Wei Lihuang observed the situation on the battlefield, looked very surprised, and asked Yang Yong, how many troops were sent to defend the pass, and how many regiments were there? Later, Yang Yong told him that there was only one company of troops, and Wei Lihuang felt incredible, and liansheng said that it was impossible.
Yang Yong was not in a hurry to defend himself, but said that after the battle was over, he could personally check the number of people, and after the task of blocking the attack was successfully completed, Wei Lihuang really did not leave, but insisted on seeing this unit, Yang Yong pulled out this company that participated in the blockade battle, Wei Lihuang believed that it was really a company of the Eighth Route Army that had just participated in the blockade, and bluntly said that if there were 6 regiments of such troops, wouldn't it be invincible in the world, out of gratitude, Wei Lihuang later supplemented some of the materials of the Eighth Route Army. It also included 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
