Yang Botao, although his rank is only the rank of major general of the Nationalist Army, among the many senior officers above the rank of major general in the Nationalist Army, his performance is not so eye-catching. But Yang Botao is a Dong ethnic group, and it is indeed not simple for an ethnic minority officer to receive such a lofty honor in the national army sequence.
[Major General Yang Botao]
Born in April 1909 in Zhijiang County, Hunan Province, Yang Botao joined the Army at the age of 17 and participated in the Northern Expedition. Brave in battle, naturally not to mention, but also like to study, in the spring of 1929 was admitted to the seventh phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. After graduation, in the gap between leading the troops to fight, they still did not give up the desire to continue their studies, and the grass-roots officers of the national army at that time were still rare. In 1935, Yang Botao was admitted to the fourteenth period of Nanjing Army University, the cradle of the National Army to train senior officers, and he wanted to come, and after graduation, he could better serve the country.
Who knows, not long after Yang Botao immersed himself in studying, the day when the whole country could not put down a quiet desk came. In 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, so that Yang Botao had the idea of temporarily interrupting his studies and rushing to the front. In particular, after the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, Yang Botao thoroughly saw clearly the ambition of Japanese imperialism to destroy the whole of China, and Yang Botao, who could no longer contain his desire to serve the country, proposed to the school authorities with the enthusiasm of a soldier that he should temporarily suspend his studies and that he should go to the anti-Japanese front to perform the duties and duties of a Chinese soldier. The school was touched by Yang Botao's patriotic enthusiasm and specially approved a long holiday that he could continue to enter the military academy for further study after his triumphant return. Without any delay, Yang Botao immediately took the train to Shanghai and came to the front line of the Battle of Songhu, serving as a major battalion commander in the Luo Zhuoying Department of the Eighteenth Army of the Nationalist Army and leading his troops to fight against the Japanese army in Luodian.
Although Luodian is a small projectile town by the river, its area is only 2 square kilometers. However, the geographical location is very important, as it is the intersection and transportation hub to several highways such as Baoshan, Downtown Shanghai, Jiading and Songshan. Once Luodian was lost, it had a subversive impact on the Battle of Songhu for the Nationalist Army. The task was so arduous, Yang Botao led the commanders and fighters of the whole battalion to take an oath before the battle, saying that they would stick to Luodian and even if they fought to the last person, they would also hold the position and resolutely ensure that the people were in the position.
As the battalion commander, Yang Botao set an example by setting up the battalion command post on the position, that is, in order to better observe the enemy situation and be able to do the most powerful japanese attack, he would go to wherever he went at any time to organize soldiers to counterattack.
[Songhu Hui Warring States Army Position]
Because Luodian has become a target for both the Chinese and Japanese armies, the fierceness of the war that took place here can be said to be the most tragic scene in the history of China's War of Resistance. In order to defend and take this land of projectiles, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought many times. During the day, it is undoubtedly the time when the Japanese army is arrogant, and everyone knows that the Japanese army dares to use small countries to make a small country, whether in terms of population or land area, and there is an incomparable huge gap with our country, it is thanks to the industrialization of the Meiji Restoration countries that they dare to launch a large-scale war of aggression against China, which is specifically manifested in the overwhelming superiority in weapons and equipment, and there are planes in the sky, cannons on the ground, and tanks and other heavy weapons, and they flock to this narrow field to fight with the national army.
In many cases, the positions held by the Chinese army have been turned into a sea of fire. Forcing Yang Botao to lead his entire battalion of officers and men, they had no choice but to withdraw from the position. Only in the evening, Yang Botao gathered the remaining fighters together, and then received some soldiers who had just been replenished, taking advantage of the night, so that the superior equipment of the Japanese army could not exert its power, and a fierce attack once again drove the Japanese army out of the position and recaptured the position lost during the day. After such repeated fighting, Yang Botao's tenacious military style of putting life and death aside was affirmed by Shangfeng, and after the Battle of Songhu, Yang Botao was promoted to the post of colonel's chief of staff, which was a high affirmation of his spirit of fighting hard and fighting hard.
In February 1939, Yang Botao, who had already served as the regimental commander, led his troops to garrison the west bank of Yichang, facing the Japanese army across the Xiang River. Yang Botao, who was only separated by a river from the Japanese army, suffered from the fact that his weapons and equipment were not as advanced as the Japanese army, and could not launch an active attack, but he could not just watch the Japanese army flaunt its might on its own territory every day, be indifferent, and blindly preserve its strength. This made Yang Botao very distressed, can not annihilate the Japanese army on a large scale, then take the Eighth Route Army guerrilla warfare style of play, he thinks his ideas and subordinates feel very good, because he is familiar with the terrain, and has the support of the people, then do it.
Therefore, Yang Botao personally led his subordinates to disguise themselves as fishermen in the daytime, put their guns behind the blocking part of the fishing boat, and while pretending to fish, they shook the fishing boat to a section that was not easily detected by the Japanese army, abandoned the boat ashore, bypassed the Japanese stronghold, and carried out a long-distance attack to harass and annihilate a small group of Japanese troops. After a quick battle, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield and then returned to the garrison from the same road, which made the Japanese army confused.
[The Nationalist army won the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain]
Because Yang Botao bypassed the Japanese stronghold on the opposite side of the river, the Japanese army could not find any excuse to wantonly massacre the local people, and the Japanese army did not dare to easily launch an attack on Yang Botao's troops, fearing that once the troops were transferred away from the rear, the Nationalist army and other Chinese anti-Japanese forces would eliminate his left-behind personnel. Yang Botao's method of taking the initiative to attack the Japanese army has completely realized the huge gap between The national strength of China and Japan by General Bai Chongxi, and only by adopting the method of "accumulating small victories into big victories and exchanging space for time" can we gradually eliminate the effective forces of the Japanese army in order to accomplish the greatest goal of victory in the war against Japan.
Yang Botao was appointed commander of the 11th Division to lead the 11th Division to participate in the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain in May 1945 because of his repeated achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield.
The cause of the Battle of Xuefengshan was that after China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had fully entered the strategic counteroffensive, the US long-range bombers that helped our country in the War of Resistance were stationed at Zhijiang Airport; after the US long-range bombers were stationed at Zhijiang Airport, the bombs they carried frequently bombed the Japanese troops stationed along the Xianggui and Guangdong-Han railways, so that the Japanese troops who had lost their air superiority completely turned into a defensive position, and the precision bombing of the US long-range bombers had to paralyze the originally busy railway transportation because the railway line was blown up. At the same time, the US bombers also blew up the Japanese warships, gunboats, and other ships sailing on the Yangtze River, seriously blocking the channel and cutting off the main arteries of the Japanese army's transportation. In desperation, the Japanese army felt that the biggest threat must be eliminated, that is, to completely blow up Zhijiang Airport and blow up all the US aircraft parked at Zhijiang Airport.
The battle plan that Yang Botao received was to enter Pupu and quickly deploy his troops to search forward in a combat posture and seek opportunities to attack the enemy. By 1945, the weapons, equipment and personnel training of the Chinese and Japanese armies had reversed during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China. At this time, Yang Botao's troops were already all American-style equipment, which was the first time that the Chinese army had gained an overwhelming advantage in front of the Japanese army in terms of superiority in weapons and equipment on the anti-Japanese battlefield, so when fighting with the Japanese army, the Nationalist army was originally afraid of the Japanese army, did not dare to fight, and was afraid of fighting, and the psychology of fighting was completely improved.
When Yang Botao's 11th Division advanced to the vicinity of the horse skull north of the Mountain Gate, it was met with a head-on japanese blockade. Yang Botao immediately ordered the use of American-made howitzers to violently bombard the Japanese positions, and it cannot be said that the Japanese army's will to fight is still very tenacious, and the two sides are inseparable around the struggle for the skull of the Northern Horse. Suddenly, Yang Botao received intelligence that an infantry company of the Japanese army was equivalent to the formation of a regiment of the Nationalist army, and a heavy company, passing through the mountain gate to reinforce the Japanese army in the direction of Longtan.

These two Japanese forces must not be allowed to enter the war in the past, which will undoubtedly cause great pressure on friendly forces. At this juncture, these two Japanese troops did not stop marching because of their orders, helping their friendly troops to jointly attack Yang Botao's troops, and in their minds, they thought that it was a small group of Nationalist troops harassing friendly and neighboring troops, and they had no time to take care of it, and still maintained the posture of continuing to march. Yang Botao found this perfect opportunity, on the one hand, he ordered his regiments to speed up the pace of attack, must quickly eliminate the enemy in front of them in the shortest possible time, and then free his hands, and then launch a strong attack on these two unsuspecting Japanese wing to eliminate them with fierce firepower, reducing the pressure on friendly and neighboring troops.
When Yang Botao had just discovered that the battlefield had calmed down, he immediately organized all the heavy firepower of the whole division to launch an attack on the two companies. The two squadrons of the Japanese army that were marching were hit by this fierce blow, and only then did they realize that this was not a harassment of a small group of Nationalist troops, but encountered a regular army. He had to change his plan to reinforce friendly troops and turn to the 11th Division led by Yang Botao.
Really fulfilled a sentence in the sketch, your grandfather is still your grandfather, your grandfather is your grandfather. The Nationalist army, which has long been shotgun for artillery, is no longer an army that can only passively avoid the Japanese artillery fire, and their cannons have exceeded the Japanese army countless times in terms of number and power after the explosion. It didn't take long to wipe out most of the Japanese troops in these two companies. Luckily, he did not kill the Japanese army and wanted to fight with the soldiers of the Nationalist army with bayonets. Who knows, just as they were screaming and rushing towards the Nationalist army with three or eight big covers, Yang Botao said hello, and the brothers looked at how these dog days came to be sent to death.
Immediately, Yang Botao ordered the brothers of the Nationalist army to stand in a row, open the fully automatic carbine safety, without aiming, and roar to Lao Tzu when the Japanese army was still 10 steps away, the sudden sound could not be used to rise and fall, but continuous bullets were intensively fired at the Japanese soldiers who still wanted to bayonet red, and for the first time, the Chinese army shot the anger that had accumulated for more than ten years in a happy way, mercilessly at those beasts. The Japanese soldiers who were hit fell in front of the officers and men of the 11th Division row after row, and in the face of such a terrible scene, the Japanese army no longer dared to charge, but still stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender.
Refusing to surrender, it was only completely annihilated, the remaining Japanese army could not resist the powerful offensive of the Nationalist army, and finally completely moved towards the fate of total annihilation, the victory of this battle ended, Yang Botao's 11th Division eliminated the two wings of the Japanese army, for the victory of the Battle of Xuefeng Mountain, lay a solid foundation.
