In April 1938, the Japanese army formed a huge encirclement in the southeastern Jin dynasty in an attempt to wipe out all the local Eighth Route Army officers, and in the face of this unrealistic illusion, we told the Japanese army with our actions that it was too early to end the war.
In this round of fighting, although our army also paid great sacrifices, the result was very gratifying, not only broke the enemy's illusion, captured a large amount of equipment, but also caused huge losses to the enemy's combat strength, and in this series of battles, the most admired combat hero is Wang Crazy: Wang Jinshan.
King Madman
Wang Jinshan, nicknamed Wang Crazy, is a famous "melee madman" in the Eighth Route Army, every time he encounters the enemy, Wang Jinshan will always rush to the enemy at the first time and use the large knife in his hand to ask for his life, because of this, he has been injured many times, but after each injury, it is still the same, even General Chen Geng is also impressed by him.
Like many of his peers, Wang Jinshan was not yet 18 years old, so he joined the revolutionary ranks, don't look at Wang Jinshan's young age and small stature, but when he fights, he highlights a "fierce word", and when he encounters a battle, he will always rush to the front at the first time and fight with the enemy in close combat.
His outstanding performance in battle allowed Wang Jinshan to quickly receive the commendation of his superiors, and in less than two years he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a company commander, but this honor was exchanged for Wang Jinshan's life.
Wang Jinshan's battle of fame was a battle with the Nationalist army, the battle was very fierce, the entire army was scattered, and the mountains were scattered, and Wang Jinshan also encountered his own enemy, an enemy who was two heads higher than him.
Because the bullets have long been consumed, the two used the simplest way of fighting: punching and kicking, although they have experienced many battles, but the advantage of body shape makes Wang Jinshan quickly beaten to the nose and blue face, not an opponent at all, but Wang Jinshan is not a person who likes to admit defeat, since he can't fight, then sacrifice it together.
During the battle, Wang Jinshan saw that there was a cliff next to him, so he found the opportunity, hugged the enemy deadly, and jumped off the cliff together, this act was like a suicide, although it did not kill Wang Jinshan, but it also left a deep bone wound on his head.
Ambush in Changle Village
If the previous battle of the cliff gave Wang Jinshan the nickname of a madman, then the Shentouling ambush allowed the name of Wang Madman to spread throughout the army.
In April 1938, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the southeastern Jin dynasty, and attempted to use the nine neighboring townships around it to form a huge encirclement and wipe out all the Eighth Route Army in the circle.
Under the leadership of Chen Geng, the Eighth Route Army arranged a unit in each of the four directions of the southeast, south, and northwest, and as long as one of these four units could open the encirclement, the Japanese army's battle plan was completely defeated, but the battle could not be taken lightly, in view of the firepower gap between the two sides at that time, the Eighth Route Army united with the masses and decided to wait for the enemy to come to the door and carry out a beautiful ambush.
Carefully planned. Chen Geng targeted the enemy's 117th Wing, for this ambush, the Eighth Route Army was ready, in the process of the Japanese advance, almost could not find any weight, which made the Japanese troops suffered a great blow, and had the idea of retreat.
There's a frenzy
Faced with such a great opportunity, Chen Geng decided to fight hard, and immediately decided that the 772nd Division led by Ye Chenghuan and Wang Jinshan would take the lead first, while waiting for other troops while fighting.
In the enemy's bombardment, Ye Chenghuan was unfortunately shot and killed, which completely angered Wang Jinshan, for Ye Chenghuan, Wang Jinshan was half admired, half friendship, the death of the good brother made him turn into a mad demon, despite the obstruction of everyone, directly picked up the machine gun and rushed up to the enemy.
Wang Jinshan's actions infected all the warriors, and everyone rushed up in anger, despite the artillery fire and the enemy launched a close combat, in the close combat, the enemy's artillery fire has lost its effect, the competition is the most fierce white-knife battle.
At that time, Wang Jinshan had already killed the red eye, completely irrational, and waited until the messengers reminded the enemy that reinforcements were coming, Wang Jinshan eased up and ordered a retreat, in the process of retreating, Wang Jinshan encountered multiple enemies successively, and finally fainted on the ground overworked.
In this ambush battle, the results of the Eighth Route Army were very gratifying, and this battle not only completely smashed the Japanese siege plan, but also harvested a large amount of weapons and equipment, and also caused terrible casualties to the enemy.
According to the records, this battle annihilated more than 2,000 enemy people, the Japanese army just cleaned the battlefield to bury the body, it took two full days, if it is not the Japanese army to support fast, this battle is destined to completely annihilate the Japanese army, the number of Japanese casualties will double again.
After the battle, Chen Geng specially visited Wang Jinshan, who was still recuperating, and expressed his strong appreciation for Wang Jinshan's desire to fight: Wang Jinshan was not really crazy, but had a kind of madness, and it was this kind of strength that enabled us to defeat the Japanese army.
In fact, from the current point of view, Wang Jinshan's madness is not cruel, but a kind of helplessness, under the circumstances at that time, the Eighth Route Army was very poorly equipped, let alone artillery, even rifles could not be done with one hand, and there were very few bullets, and there was often a situation where ammunition ran out.
Wang Jinshan fought as close as possible in battle, on the one hand, to make the enemy's artillery ineffective, on the other hand, to save bullets, now save one more bullet, tomorrow may mean sacrificing one less soldier.
From the perspective of the leader, the Eighth Route Army also needs such a crazy person as Wang Jinshan, and being a pioneer is not an empty word, when the leader of a unit bravely charges, not afraid of death, the soldiers will bravely launch a charge, and the sheep led by a lion can easily defeat the lion group led by a sheep.
With this "crazy energy", Perfect not only drove out the Japanese army and completed China's reunification, but also drove the United States out of the 38th Line, successfully defending China's sovereignty.
