History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
"Xiao Yong is good at fighting Wang Near the mountain, commanding the Eighth Brigade to fight in the plains. In the counterattack of Dalian Zhai Village, the Shangen Squadron was surrounded and annihilated. This poem is a poem given by the founding major general Gao Houliang in memory of General Wang Jinshan in response to the example of the New 8th Brigade annihilating the Japanese Yamane Squadron during the Hundred Regiments War.
During the Period of Resistance Against Japan, in order to combat the blockade of the Japanese puppet army against the Japanese base areas, the Eighth Route Army carried out a large-scale offensive and anti-"sweeping" campaign in the rear of the enemy army, and the strength of 105 regiments participating in this campaign was called the "Hundred Regiments War". It was the longest-running and largest battle of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In this battle, the new 8th Brigade of the 129th Division can be described as a legend. In 1940, Wang Jinshan was ordered to participate in the formation of the "New 8th Brigade" in the Taihang Mountain Anti-Japanese Base Area, and served as deputy brigade commander.
The new 8th Brigade was a mixture of armed forces in many parts of northwest lu and some regular units of the Eighth Route Army from ruxi, and the composition of the troops was very complicated. But the war was urgent. The newly completed New 8th Brigade had no time for reorganization, but was simply politically retrained and was ordered to join the battle. They are not familiar with each other, let alone between fighters and warriors, and between troops and troops. However, it was such an army, under the leadership of Wang Jinshan and Zhang Weihan, in the "Hundred Regiments War", became famous in the First World War and took off the hat of "Miscellaneous Army".
In 1940, the "Hundred Regiments War" began, and at the headquarters of the New 8th Brigade, Wang Jinshan habitually meditated in front of the map showing the Xingtai to Shahe section of the Pinghan Railway. Wang Jinshan understood: Soldiers instigate one, and will instigate and instigate a nest. If we want to bring this new unit out of actual combat, we must start with cadres. Therefore, he thought of summoning the cadres to talk collectively, carry out another pre-war mobilization, and properly grasp the cadres.
During the conversation, Wang Jinshan said: "We are participating in a big war, and for the confidence of the people of the whole country in victory, we, as units participating in the war, should be full of fighting spirit and achieve good results." It is not terrible to encounter difficulties, but it is discouraged and self-abandonment. Fighting a war is fighting courage and courage. We must learn in war and be heroes on the battlefield. "
Encouraged by Wang Jinshan, many cadres shouted: "We must play the prestige of our new 8th Brigade!" Subsequently, Wang Jinshan discussed the problem of slow progress of the railway attack encountered in front of him, and the cadres also gave their opinions. Therefore, after the meeting, the commanders and fighters of the new 8th Brigade led the soldiers to rush to the railway line and kill the enemy's stronghold.
Wang Jinshan looked at the battlefield in front of him and said confidently: "As long as a unit has forged its soul, then they will be invincible, and our new 8th Brigade can only grow in battle." "
Later, after receiving the news that the Yamane Squadron had invaded our army, Wang Jinshan planned how to capture this team of more than 200 people. In the question: "Did the troops enter the standby area?" After receiving a positive answer, Wang Jinshan smiled and immediately ordered the main force of the 22nd and 24th regiments to attack at the same time according to the planned plan. Captain Yamane never imagined that the battle between The Yamane Squadron and his own life would be so crisp and clean.
The 8th Brigade of the 129th Division relied on a battle to play the prestige of the 8th Brigade and threw off the hat of "miscellaneous troops". And burned in the annals of history the glorious record of annihilating Yamane Squadron.
After the war, the smoke of war had not yet cleared, and all the soldiers shouted: "We will win the battle!" Wang Jinshan raised his arm, and the warriors quieted down. Wang Jinshan faced the warrior and shouted happily, "Good look! I know that our new 8th Brigade is all good. This is the victory, the victory of yours, the victory of our new 8th Brigade, and the victory of the people! "
