China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression continued
Fourteen years
Long, from 1931
9/18 Incident
At the beginning, the Chinese military and civilians struggled to the death with their old equipment and weapons, high morale, and indomitable spirit. In the past ten years of struggle, the frontal battlefield of the Chinese military and people has been defeated and retreated from the beginning.
Fight it out
, and later by virtue of the region,
Consume slowly
, Chinese military and civilians have never been
Never flinched
。
Until 1944, the Japanese army was defeated by the American army in the Pacific Theater
Throw away your armor
At that time, the Chinese people saw the hope of victory over Japan, and the War of Resistance Against Japan gradually entered
Strategic counter-offensive
At this stage, under such a situation, the Japanese army, which was supposed to be mainly defensive in the Chinese battlefield, unusually launched a huge scale
Offensive campaigns
, that is, the famous Battle of Yuxianggui in history.
I. The Chinese army was ill-prepared for the Battle of Yuxianggui
In the face of the menacing force of the Japanese army, the Kuomintang government did not anticipate it and did not do a good job
Be well prepared
As a result, soon after the battle began, the vast land in Henan was lost one after another, and the Japanese army soon made a huge encirclement of Changsha.
Changsha has always been a heart disease of the Japanese army, and the first two attacks were defeated by the famous general Xue Yue, and almost killed"
Sky furnace tactics
"After destroying a whole division, this time the Japanese army came with an iron heart, and it happened that the National Government looked at the international situation very well.
Defensive slack
Changsha was soon captured by the Japanese.
This of the Japanese army
A wave of operations
This made the Nationalist government feel the crisis, because in the next step, the heavy army group of the Japanese army would have to be commanded
An important town in Hunan
Hengyang was the economic center of the Nationalist government at that time, and it was also the intersection of several railways, and if Hengyang was lost, it would pose a threat to Chongqing. Therefore, the Nationalist army hastily dispatched the Tenth Army, which was resting nearby, in the absence of preparations, and ordered it to hold Hengyang for reinforcements, and not allow the Japanese army to cross Hengyang for seven days.
Second, the defense of Hengyang for 47 days
National Revolutionary Army
Tenth Army
It has always been a strong force in the Kuomintang army, although it has not received the title of the five main forces of the Nationalist army, but it is also
The combat effectiveness is not bad
This time, in order to defend Hengyang, the tenth army's troops had not yet had time to be replenished, so they were put on the battlefield again, and the whole army only had it
More than 17,000 people
This also included the temporary deployment of General Xue Yue before the war
Partial troop strength
At this time, the Japanese army that attacked the city was also an army, the Japanese army
Xith Army
The commander of the army was a famous Japanese general who had just captured Changsha
Isamu Yokoyama
At that time, his arrogance was very arrogant, commanding 5 times the strength of the defending troops, or came with victory, threatening to step on Yangcheng on the 3rd.
Here we need to introduce,
During the War of Resistance
, the army in the Chinese army and the army in the Japanese army
difference
, under the general jurisdiction of the Chinese Army
2-3 divisions
Each division has a full strength of about 9,000-10,000 people, and a full army of about 30,000 people, but in fact, because the Kuomintang army has always had
Eat empty pay
The phenomenon is often that an army has only about 20,000 people.
Then an army of the Japanese army is not a Japanese army
Daily programming
Troops, but temporarily formed, were the main combat units of the Japanese army
division
A division probably has more than that
30,000 people
An army is usually commanded because of the strategic needs
3-4 divisions
Or brigade units, so attack the Japanese army in Hengyang
Up to 110,000
The rest of the population, more than 5 times more than the defenders.
confront
So tough
In the case of Hengyang Shou 7 days, it is actually a difficult task to complete. This made fang xianjue, the commander of the Tenth Army, feel deeply
Responsibility is great
Hengyang
There is no room for error
When he accepted the task of defending the city, he completed the 7-day task as 47 days.
As
Whampoa Phase III
Gao Caisheng, Fang Xianjue has a high tactical quality, before the hengyang defense war began, he arranged the echelon of troops, except for a regiment occupying the highest point of Hengshan outside the city, the rest of the troops shrank into the city, ready to fight with the enemy in the street,
Hand-to-hand combat
Preparation.
After the war began, the Japanese army first used heavy artillery and other firepower to attack the outside of Hengyang City
A bombardment
but
The results were minimal
So Yokoyama Yong issued an order to attack the city in an all-round way, which was also the first time that the defenders in the city were heroic and abnormal, and they fought many repeated street battles with the devils in the city, one against five
Fearless
The Battle of 17,000 Chinese troops
The loss is gone
More than 7,000 people were killed and more than 8,000 wounded, but the number of killed and wounded Japanese troops reached a staggering 50,000 people, which has exceeded the number of all the defenders
The world was amazed
Although in the end Hengyang City was still breached by the Japanese army, Fang Xianjue was in order to save it
The lives of wounded soldiers
He chose to surrender temporarily, and was soon rescued, but this battle was fought in Hengyang City
Held out for 47 days
It shattered the dream of the Japanese army wanting to counterattack again, and also won the Chinese army in
International status
It is worth mentioning that in the defense of Hengyang, in addition to fighting with the enemy
Fight to the death
The soldiers of the Nationalist army, as well as a group of ordinary people and Communists who, under the leadership of the Communist Party, carried ammunition and supplies for the Hengyang garrison, also paid
More than 3,000 people
Casualties, they are also one
Unyielding power
, worthy of our learning and admiration.
Conclusion: Looking back at history and looking to the future
We can have that today
