Since the Japanese invaded China in an all-round way, wolf smoke has been ignited everywhere in the land of China, especially after the fall of Important Cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing, the Japanese have become more and more arrogant, and even shouted "Occupy China in three months!" "It turns out that this is a sentence of a fool's dream.
In the later battles against Japan, the Chinese army won more and more victories, and even a brigade commander defeated the Japanese army three times in three consecutive days, which was really admirable, but unfortunately his name is little known.
In 1931, the 28-year-old Ye Peigao graduated from the Army University, and was then assigned to the 18th Army Cadre Training Center in Fuhe, Jiangxi Province, where his students were platoon commanders and company commanders.
Soon after, Ye Peigao was transferred to the regimental commander of the 52nd Division, and he had a good relationship with Huang Wei, who was the brigade commander of the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division, which was Jiang's concubine unit, and in July 1933, after Huang Wei was promoted to division commander, he recommended Ye Peigao to be the chief of staff of the 11th Division.
Although the position of chief of staff of the division is not high, but this is the chief of staff of the division, entering the division means that he has won the trust of Jiang Someone, the future is unlimited, and the circle of communication has also been improved, in April 1936, Ye Peigao remarried, and senior generals such as Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying, and Huang Wei were present at the wedding to congratulate.
Ye Peigao was not a sneaker, nor was he a man of fame and reputation, his talents were fully demonstrated in the anti-Japanese battlefield, in April 1937, Ye Peigao was reappointed as the brigade commander of the 33rd Brigade of the 11th Division, awarded the rank of major general, and a few months later he led his troops to participate in the Battle of Songhu.
In fact, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Ye Peigao immediately wrote a letter requesting to go to Hebei to resist The Japanese, the troops went to the halfway point, the Battle of Songhu began, and his 33rd Brigade was transferred to the Songhu battlefield, as long as the devils were fought, everywhere was the same, Ye Peigao led his troops to the Songhu battlefield.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the battle, the Kuomintang army fell into a disadvantage, due to the mistakes of the high command of the Songhu battlefield, there was no troops to defend luodian in the strategic place, which was a small town between Wusong and Baoshan, and also a hub connecting Shanghai.
Once lost, the Kuomintang army opened the northwest gateway on the battlefield, and the Beijing-Shanghai communication line was also affected, but in such a way of occupying the key place, there was no Chinese army to defend, and the Japanese army occupied the key place without a single shot, at which time the supreme commander woke up like a dream.
Under the command of Luo Zhuoying, commander of the 18th Army, the 11th Division took on the task of retaking Luodian, and the commander of the 11th Division gave this task to Ye Peigao's 33rd Brigade, who personally led the troops and after 2 hours of bloody fighting, recaptured Luodian from the Japanese army.
After Ye Peigao recaptured Luodian, he handed over the position to the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division, but he did not expect that soon after Ye Peigao's brigade was transferred, the Japanese army captured Luodian, and the commander of the 201st Brigade, Cai Bingyan, was martyred, and Ye Peigao had to lead his troops to launch a second scramble.
This time, Ye Peigao led his troops into the north of Luodian, cutting off the contact between the Japanese army and the main force in Luodian, and then with the cooperation of the 67th Division, they recaptured Luodian in one fell swoop, and the Japanese army was beaten and retreated, and some soldiers in the battle did not hesitate to tie grenades themselves to blow up the Japanese armored vehicles.
The Japanese army was not willing to lose, and without waiting for the Chinese army to repair the fortifications, it launched a counter-offensive, Ye Peigao led his troops to repel the Japanese attack, Ye Peigao defeated the Japanese army three times in succession, deeply admired by the officers and men of the 18th Army, and then the two sides fell into a tug-of-war in Luodian, the battle was fierce, luodian was known as the "flesh and blood mill".
After the Battle of Songhu, Ye Peigao also participated in the Battle of Wuhan and the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, but after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ye Peigao was disgusted by the struggle for power and profit within the Kuomintang, and did not want to see Chinese fight Chinese, and in 1948, Ye Peigao, who was the commander of the 50th Army, took the initiative to resign.
On the eve of the liberation of the country, Ye Peigao took his family to Taiwan, and in 1968, he moved to the United States until his death on August 31, 1987, at the age of 84.
