Gu Yanwu once said: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the puppeteer. Whenever our nation suffers, countless heroes will emerge, such as Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, and so on, who are famous in history, and these ancestors have defended our nation with their blood. Who were the Japanese most afraid of in the modern War of Resistance Against Japan? He laid down pocket formations many times and completely annihilated the Japanese army again and again.
After the September 18 Incident, Japan occupied the three eastern provinces, and its ambitions became more and more ambitious, and the eastern three provinces could not satisfy Japan's appetite, so Japan put forward a plan to destroy China. In 1937, Japan launched the July 7 Incident and began a full-scale invasion of Our country. In order to defend the homeland and defend the country, the kuomintang and the communist party cooperated, which was also the beginning of the all-out war of resistance waged by the Chinese nation.
If you want to say who the Japanese feared the most during the War of Resistance, then Xue Yue must have been on the list. Xue Yue was born in 1896 in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, and his father idolized Yue Fei and named him Xue Yangyue, which was later renamed Xue Yue. Xue Yue attended military school when he was young, and joined Sun Gong's revolutionary army after the second revolution in 1914, becoming Sun Gong's right and left arm.
Extensive combat experience. He participated in the crusade against the Gui Army, chen Jiongming, and a series of battles such as the Northern Expedition and the Central Plains War. Accumulated a considerable amount of combat experience, known as "Tiger Boy". Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he lived idly at home.
When the Battle of Songhu broke out, Xue Yue volunteered to participate in the fight against the Japanese army, and was appointed by Lao Jiang as the commander-in-chief of the 19th Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army and joined the battle. During the battle, the Japanese army was severely damaged, but it was also severely damaged.
Wanjialing Victory. On July 26, 1938, after the Japanese occupation of Jiujiang, the soldiers surrounded Wuhan in three ways in an attempt to expand the results of the battle, and the Japanese commanders at this time were Okamura Ningji, who was known as the wise general, Xue Yue and Okamura Ningji, fighting wits and courage, digging pits for each other, and finally Okamura Ningji's 106th Division fell into Xue Yue's pocket array, and Xue Yue was determined to eat this division.
He immediately mobilized his fourth army, 74th army and 66th army, besieged the Japanese 106th division at Wanjialing, and finally the 106th division was completely annihilated, leaving behind the corpses scattered in the mountains, and the anti-japanese war achieved an unprecedented victory and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army. Xue Yue was praised by Old Jiang.
Battle of Changsha. In September 1939, Xue Yue was ordered to command the First Battle of Changsha, and later that month, six divisions of the Japanese army, with the cooperation of more than 100 aircraft and nearly 300 warships, attacked Changsha in three ways.
Xue Yue mobilized nearly twenty-one corps and fifty-two divisions of troops, deployed them in the direction of the Japanese army's three-way attack, and arranged for troops to carry out counter-encirclement, encircling the Japanese army into his pockets, and after more than 20 days of fighting, the Japanese army was annihilated by more than 40,000 people and returned with a big defeat. Xue Yue was praised by Lao Jiang and rewarded 150,000 yuan for the soldiers who participated in the battle.
In September 1941, the Japanese army gathered more than 150,000 troops, supported by aircraft and ships, divided into two roads and attacked Changsha for the second time. Xue Yue mobilized nearly 200,000 troops, Xue Yue implemented the strategy of fighting while retreating, and then carried out a decisive battle strategy, and arranged the strength of nearly seven armies to attack on the flank, after many battles, the enemy was drawn into the vicinity of the Tear Luo River and the Laodao River, and the enemy once again entered Xue Yue's pocket formation, this time the battle annihilated more than 30,000 Japanese troops, and Xue Yue once again inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese army.
In December of the same year, the Japanese army once again gathered nearly 120,000 troops and launched a third offensive against Changsha. Xue Yue repeated the old trick, lured the enemy deeper, and finally achieved a counter-encirclement of the Japanese army, the Japanese army once again entered Xue Yue's pocket array, in this battle annihilated more than 50,000 Japanese troops, the victory in the Battle of Changsha greatly enhanced the morale of the national war of resistance, and Xue Yue was awarded the Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun.
It can be said that Xue Yue fulfilled his share of his duty to defend the famous Chinese people and made his contribution. The victory he won by leading the troops laid the foundation for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and also strengthened the confidence of the famous Chinese people in resisting the Japanese aggression and winning the final victory.
