The enemy's two charge was repelled and did not dare to come out again, and the planes exploded for two hours, and our army withdrew from the battlefield early
Speaking of the Xiangtangpu ambush, it was one of the several classic ambush battles of the Eighth Route Army, an ambush jointly proposed by Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping and Xu Xiangqian in late March 1938.
In the initial stage of the anti-Japanese battlefield, the Eighth Route Army has been attacking the Japanese army with ambushes since the victory of Pingxingguan, of course, the Battle of Pingxingguan is the biggest ambush battle, and it is also a huge victory since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the whole country is excited.
At 8:00 a.m. on March 31, 1938, two squadrons of the heavy units of the Japanese Fourteenth Division had a total of 180 vehicles, and more than 170 cover troops penetrated into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army, all 180 cars were destroyed, more than 130 people were killed, only more than 30 people escaped, and by 11:00 a.m., the battle was over.
The Xiangtangpu ambush took only 3 hours, and the Eighth Route Army achieved great results.
Of course, the Japanese devils were not willing to accept the fate of defeat, and immediately dispatched more than 200 people from the Stronghold of Licheng, under the cover of more than ten aircraft, to continuously attack the 772nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and twice organized a charge, but were repelled.
The Japanese army, which had always been in a cross-cutting position, was actually frightened for the first time, retreated back to Dongyang Pass, and did not dare to come out again, only bombarding the positions of the Eighth Route Army with artillery, aimlessly.
At the same time, more than 400 Japanese troops from the county stronghold also came to reinforcements, and as a result, they suffered the same fate, all six vehicles carrying soldiers were destroyed, the smoke from the burning of the vehicles covered the sky, and the dead bodies of the enemy were twisted from side to side, and the ditches were all over the field.
Undoubtedly, the Japanese army in the early stage of the invasion of China was particularly explosive in combat, extremely strictly trained, and the level of shooting and fighting was very high, but in the face of the complex terrain, it was completely headless flies.
Liu Bocheng's tactics were originally out of the blue, using the terrain to teach the Japanese devils a hard lesson.
Unwilling to accept defeat, the Japanese army could only cover up the mess and deceive itself, using 6 bombers and 4 fighter planes to fly over the Xiangtang pavement and indiscriminately bomb for more than two hours.
In fact, before the Japanese bombing, the Eighth Route Army had already cleaned up the battlefield, the wounded soldiers and booty had all been transported back to the rear, and the troops were gathered and hidden in unknown places.
The bombing by enemy planes was more like firecrackers to celebrate the victory of the Eighth Route Army.
In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the Japanese invaders were marching all the way, the Eighth Route Army's several beautiful ambush battles fought devils everywhere, and the Japanese army did not have any frontal battlefield crossfire.
In the game of justice, there will always be a chance of victory, but whether the use of strategy and tactics is successful or not!
Just imagine, today's world is also a game of great powers, and the teacher of justice will always stand on the balance of victory, but:
How long are our strategies and strategies longer than our opponents? That's the key!
