We know that since ancient times, Guangxi soldiers have been known as wolf soldiers, Guangxi has always been the main force of China's opposition to foreign aggression, every time there is a foreign enemy invading, as long as there are Guangxi people, they will certainly be able to beat the enemy to the ground to find teeth. As early as the Republic of China period, Guangxi, as a large province in China, had a population of less than 10 million. After the September 18 Incident, Bai Chongxi conducted large-scale militia training in Guangxi, almost all of whom were adult men. Later, when the All-People War of Resistance broke out, all 6 divisions of the Gui Army rushed to the front line without reservation to fight the enemy.
In the most classic Battle of Songhu, almost all 6 divisions of the Gui Army were killed, but the Japanese army was also defeated and retreated. At that time, although the equipment of the Gui army was backward and the ammunition was lacking, the will of these soldiers was the most tenacious, and they would never surrender even if they fought unarmed. Fight with the enemy with bayonets, bite with teeth without bayonets, use fists, and never surrender if you have a little strength to fight. Later, Nanjing was also captured by the Japanese army, and the 13th Division, the strongest Japanese army at that time, went north along the Jinpu Railway, and our army confronted the Japanese army moving north along the Huai River.
At that time, the person responsible for and blocking the Japanese army was the 31st Group Army of the Gui Army, and their commander was named Liu Shiyi. At that time, the 31st Army was a new army, many of which were newly recruited eggs, with little combat effectiveness, and some could not even shoot guns. But the most honorable thing about this unit is that even if they have poor marksmanship and backward weapons, they dare to fight and fight, and even the small soldiers who have not been on the battlefield have shown amazing patriotism, are not afraid of sacrifice, and fight to the end with the Japanese army.
On the night of February 11, 1938, the third brigade of the Japanese 58th Wing was attacked by the 138th Division of the 31st Army of the Gui Army in the south of Kaocheng, when 132 Japanese troops were hiding in the temple, but they were discovered by the officers and men of the 138th Division and directly annihilated. Four days later, the main Japanese 13th Division arrived here and found that the 132 Japanese soldiers in the temple had been stripped of their clothes and their heads had been cut off. All the equipment was taken away by the Gui Army. At that time, the faces of the Japanese commanders were green, and they felt that this was the greatest shame they had suffered since the outbreak of the war, and he said that he had never seen this "fierce" Chinese unit.
