In recent history, Japan was the first Asian country to complete the industrialization transformation of the country, and Japan obtained the original funds for industrial transformation through two industrial revolutions using small wars, and finally successfully realized the industrialization of the country and became an emerging imperialist country. After the completion of industrialization, Japan's expansion ambitions expanded step by step, and eventually launched a large-scale war of aggression.
The first target of Japan's aggression was China, and the Chinese people took up arms to fight for the survival of the country and the nation in order to resist the Japanese aggressors. The Eighth Route Army was an important force against the Japanese army at that time, and in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Eighth Route Army achieved many amazing achievements, and once there were three hundred and eighty-eight route army surrounded by two thousand elite Japanese troops, and as a result, the Eighth Route Army successfully broke through and annihilated four hundred enemies.
In 1942, Japan dispatched a large number of troops to carry out sweeping operations against the Eighth Route Army, because the Japanese army was well-equipped and numerous, so the Eighth Route Army often took the form of mobile warfare to consume the enemy's effective forces when dealing with the sweeping operation, and waited for opportunities to find an opportunity to break through. During the Japanese army sweep in 1942, the commander of the regiment Zuo Ye and the remaining 300 Eighth Route Army regiments were besieged by the elite Japanese army at Songjiazhuang, so the battle was called the Battle of Songjiazhuang.
During the Battle of Songjiazhuang, Zuo Ye and others, with the help of villagers, transformed Songjiazhuang into a village especially suitable for guerrilla warfare. Before the arrival of the Japanese army, countless tunnels were dug in Songjiazhuang, and thousands of houses became the positions of the Eighth Route Army to eliminate the effective forces of the Japanese army, so this battle for Zuo Ye and others could be described as everything ready but owed the East Wind.
In the long-term battle with the Japanese army, Zuo Ye summed up the combat laws of the Japanese army and understood the combat methods of the Japanese army very well. Therefore, before the Japanese army entered Songjiazhuang, Zuo Ye used a large number of grenades to carry out a wave of attrition of the Japanese army. After defeating the vanguard of the Japanese army, Zuo Ye led the others into the tunnels of Songjiazhuang, and the Japanese troops entered zuo ye's trap in batches.
After several battles, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and even a japanese squad leader was shot due to cowardice, so the japanese army's military spirit had been greatly shaken at this time. On the day of the breakthrough, Zuo Ye led his subordinates to repulse the Japanese attack again, and seeing the decline in the combat status of the Japanese army, Zuo Ye thought that the time had come to break through, so he decided to break through that night.
At night, the sky began to rain, the fire of the Japanese army was extinguished, the moon was also covered by clouds, and in the dark night when the five fingers were not visible, Zuo Ye and others quietly broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army. According to statistics after the war, 300 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, including Zuo Ye, killed 400 Japanese troops in the battle with the Japanese army in the battle with the Japanese army, while they only lost more than 70 people themselves.
The battle, which later became a classic war case, was a victory for the Eighth Route Army, but a disgrace to the Japanese army. It was precisely because of the victory of one small battle after another that the Chinese people finally defeated the Japanese invaders after several years of arduous resistance.
