In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the strength of our air force was not good, and it was often suppressed by the firepower of the Japanese army, but as the Nationalist government began to attach importance to the construction of the air force, the situation on the battlefield also changed. For example, a military airfield built by our army in Zhijiang, Hunan Province, gave the Japanese Kou a nightmare-like life.
As long as the Japanese dared to use roads, railways, and waterways, they would immediately be bombarded by the Chinese army, resulting in the paralysis of the Logistics and Transportation of the Japanese Army and a sharp decline in combat effectiveness. To this end, the Japanese army dispatched all its troops to prepare to seize the Zhijiang airfield, and the Chinese army also made a full defensive posture, and the fierce Battle of Xuefeng Mountain began.
After careful planning, the main force of the Japanese army all entered the front of the main position of Xuefeng Mountain in western Hunan Province. And the protagonist of our story is named Yang Botao, who was the commander of the 11th Division of the 18th Army of the Kuomintang Army at that time, and after entering the battlefield, he has not encountered a large japanese army, and those small-scale frictions can not satisfy Yang Botao's desire to fight.
But the opportunity soon came, Yang Botao found a Japanese infantry company and a heavy company, and without saying a word, immediately launched an attack. Because it was caught off guard, the Japanese army collapsed in an instant, not only greatly damaged its troops, but also lost its position on the high ground.
However, the Japanese army's war quality is not vegetarian, after a short 2-hour rest, it launched a counter-charge on the position occupied by Yang Botao, but at this time it saw that Yang Botao did not shoot a shot, but the troops of the two battalions went into battle shirtless, brandishing large knives in front of the formation, and at first glance, they wanted to use hand-to-hand combat to fight to the death.
The Japanese people advocate the spirit of Bushido, most of the Japanese soldiers are very skilled in swordplay, seeing Yang Botao's posture of unfolding a white-knife battle, they feel that they are right in their arms, they put down their guns, and pulled out bushido to launch a charge against Yang Botao's troops.
Just when the Japanese soldiers were less than 20 meters away from Yang Botao's position, the soldiers of the Nationalist army suddenly jumped back into the trenches, and what greeted the ghosts was a row of American submachine guns, and the Japanese troops in front of the charge had no way to retreat, and fell into a pool of blood with the sound of gunfire.
This battle played a very important role in laying the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain, when the Kuomintang was preparing to convene the Sixth Plenary Session, which can be said to be the best gift for the Sixth Plenary Session, so Yang Botao and his troops were also specially commended by Chiang Kai-shek and held a grand celebration meeting.
Yang Botao, who had made great contributions, also had unlimited scenery, and later accepted the surrender of the Japanese army as a surrender representative of the Xiangyin region, and received the highest glory belonging to the soldiers.
Someone once asked Yang Botao whether his plan to lure the enemy was too sinister, and Yang Botao said that he did not need to talk about morality with Japanese devils!
