Mr. He said that I am the commander of the division, and you are the commander of the army, and the commander of the army is pushed away, and the result is commanded by the brigade commander
As everyone knows, the modern social turmoil on the mainland, not to mention the wars of aggression in the late Qing Dynasty, just in the republic of China period alone, there were many wars, first the agrarian revolution, then the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, of which the War of Resistance Against Japan caused great harm to the mainland, and the people's lives and property were dealt a very heavy blow. In 1931, the Japanese army launched the 918 Incident in the northeast, the three eastern provinces fell, the war of aggression against China began, on January 28, 1932, the Japanese army launched a war against Shanghai, the Songhu War of Resistance broke out, on July 7, 1937, the Japanese provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident near Beiping, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full swing.
In mid-August 1937, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to agree to reorganize the Central Red Army in northern Shaanxi into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and on the 23rd, Chiang Kai-shek issued a speech recognizing the legitimate status of the Communist Party, and in this way, the anti-Japanese national united front with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party as the main body was formally established. In October, the Red Army guerrillas in the thirteen southern regions were reorganized into the fourth army of the new National Revolutionary Army, and since then the anti-Japanese national united front has been formally formed, and the second Kuomintang-Communist cooperation has officially begun.
In 1938, the Shanxi battlefield collapsed, because of Yan Xishan's passive combat attitude and the Kuomintang generals' greed for life and fear of death, resulting in the seven counties in Shanxi being occupied by the Japanese Kou and the fall of the mountains and rivers, and He Laozong received orders from his superiors and came to the battlefield in Shanxi with the 120th Division. After Mr. He came to Shanxi, he looked at the situation in Shanxi and knew that things were not good, and if he were still fighting so passively at this time, Shanxi would soon fall, and not only that, but the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia base area in the back would also be directly exposed, and the situation would be even more difficult at that time. In order to ensure the safety of the rear area of northern Shaanxi, it is necessary to start counterattacking the Japanese Kou, and the Japanese Kou must not be allowed to fight with their heads, at this time the Eighth Route Army will come to Shanxi, and the situation will definitely change.
However, the 120th Division under General He did not have many troops, and facing the Japanese Kou, who were very well armed and equipped, were certainly not opponents of the other side. So Boss He decided to fight with the Kuomintang to fight together to repel the Japanese Kou, and He personally went to find the generals of the Jin Army, but who knew that although it was said that it was cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists at this time, these Kuomintang generals were greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to fight back, and each general came up with various reasons to shirk it, such as Zhao Chengshou, the commander of the Jin Army. When Boss He found Zhao Chengshou, Zhao Chengshou had been pushing back, and Boss He told Zhao Chengshou not to retreat anymore, if everyone joined forces, they would definitely be able to repel the Japanese Kou, and in less than a month, they could recover the seven lost counties. Who knew that after Zhao Chengshou heard these words, he did not cooperate at all, Zhao Chengshou said that he had 100 cavalry under his command, and could only draw thirty people to fight, and the remaining 70 people had to watch the horses, so how to fight with the Japanese Kou?
Elder He then said: You don't have to worry, as long as we are united, we can definitely repel the Japanese Kou, you are the commander of the army, I am the commander of the division, and this battle will be commanded by you. Zhao Chengshou, who was still pushing away, was shocked when he heard these words, and quickly said: You still don't know the old bottom of my military commander, when you were a military commander, I was still a battalion officer, how dare I cross your head. Although Zhao Chengshou's words were all for the sake of evasion, he did say it well, when he was still a battalion officer, Boss He was already a military commander in the Kuomintang. Now, because of Chiang Kai-shek's deliberate suppression, only three divisions were given, and the generals of the Eighth Route Army generally held very low positions, so Zhao Chengshou, an unknown person, actually held a higher position than that of General Manager He.
Seeing that Zhao Chengshou had been pushing back and did not want to send troops at all, Xu Fanting, who was standing on the sidelines, made a suggestion: You two are really too modest, so it is better for Brigadier Wang Zhen of the 359th Brigade to command this battle, let Brigadier Wang Zhen go to the front line to command, and we will all stand back. In fact, the reason why Boss He wanted this effect was that he wanted to use this way of wearing a top hat to let Zhao Chengshou give support and cooperation, but in the end, Mr. He still had some wasted effort, and after the battle began, Zhao Chengshou only sent two artillery companies, and this battle was equivalent to the Eighth Route Army fighting alone.
This battle was under the command of Wang Zhen, and finally won a complete victory, Wang Zhen arrived at the occupied Ganlan City, he found that the walls of Ganlan City were high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it was hard, it might not be able to have good fruit. However, Wang Zhen found that the water source of Ganlan City was all dependent on a river, and if the water source was cut off, the Japanese Kou in the city would definitely not be able to survive, and then the chaos in the city could take advantage of it. So Wang Zhen and his troops cut off the river, controlled the water source, and then observed the movement in the city. When there was no water at the beginning, life in the city was not greatly affected, but on the fourth day, the people in the city finally began to be impatient, and Wang Zhen observed the situation in the city with a telescope and found that there was already a panic in The city.
So Wang Zhen led his troops to ambush the Japanese Kou, and Wang Zhen told his men: Wait until the little devils come out, let's not move first, and when they arrive in Mitsui, they will definitely camp, and we will take advantage of the darkness to do it. In this way, the 359th Brigade quietly followed the Japanese Kou all the way to Mitsui, and the Japanese Kou really wanted to camp here as Wang Zhen said, and taking advantage of the night, the 359th Brigade annihilated more than 300 Japanese Kou and successfully recaptured the city of Ganlan. After that, Wang Zhen took back all seven counties occupied by the Japanese Kou and drove the Japanese out, and the people heard about the bravery of the Eighth Route Army, and also called Wang Zhen "Flying General" and swept through the Japanese Kou.
