What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
In the spring of 1932, in the Sino-Japanese Great Wall Battle, the Japanese army suffered the loss of the 29th Army's large knife team at Xifengkou, so it mobilized 40,000 troops to make a fan attack on the Great Wall area.
China also sent reinforcements from the central army huang jie, Guan Linzheng, Liu Jie, Wang Jingjiu and other elite troops. However, once these troops entered the battlefield, they were not well equipped, and suffered heavy casualties under the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army and the carpet bombardment of aircraft.
Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong, and other generals of the 29th Army, seeing that the situation was critical, but the officers and men could not engage in frontal positional warfare with the Japanese army, discussed together and used wisdom to curb the enemy's advance.
Once, the Japanese attacked in the direction of the Gubeikou of the Great Wall. It's mountainous, with dangerous terrain and rugged paths. The Japanese did not know the way, and found six Chinese as guides.
These six people, who on the surface appear to be honest local farmers, are actually agents of the 29th Army. They led a Japanese forward wing (equivalent to a Chinese regiment) into a narrow basin. As soon as the squadron entered the basin, it found something was wrong, and the commander Kuriya Daisaku ordered the adjutant: "Bring the six guides here." ”
Who knew that after a while the adjutant reported: "They have escaped without a trace." ”
Kuriya Daisa, realizing that he had been deceived, hurriedly ordered the Japanese to retreat. But it was too late, it was fast, the surrounding mines sounded, the landslides cracked, the sand and gravel flew randomly, and the smoke of gunfire soared into the sky, causing the Japanese troops to fall to the ground one after another, breaking their legs and feet and flying around.
It turned out that the Japanese army was brought into the mine array preset by the 29 military first.
The six guides hid in the shadows and lit the line of fire, causing a series of explosions. As a result, in the earth-shattering explosion, more than 20 Japanese aircraft flew over and circled at low altitude, because they could not find the target and did not dare to rush to drop bombs.
As a result, more than a thousand officers and men of the Japanese company were bombed, leaving only 14 seriously injured who were dying.
As soon as the explosion of the mines stopped, Japanese reinforcements arrived, and it was already dusk, so they had to camp on the spot. In the middle of the night, gunshots suddenly started on all sides, shouting for death, but the figure of the Chinese army could not be seen. The Japanese army, believing that there were many people and well-armed, launched a search despite the late night. The search reached a mountainous area at dawn, and in the haze there were Chinese soldiers, artillery and tanks lined up, and in shock, they stopped searching, held their positions and prepared for battle, while bombarding with heavy artillery, forming a sea of fire. But the Chinese soldiers could not blow up, and they did not see them return fire, nor did the tanks and vehicles move. The Japanese army had a hard time surviving until dawn, and sent troops up the mountain to take a look, only to understand that the Chinese soldiers were all paper-tied, and the artillery and tanks were also made of thin iron sheets.
This time, the 29th Army used a strange strategy to win the battle, which was the strategy of Major General Zhao Dengyu, the brigade commander.
