After the advance detachment of the New Fourth Army led by Su Yu opened the Jiangnan Road, the main force of the New Fourth Army marched into Jiangnan and gradually established the anti-Japanese base area in Jiangnan. After several victorious battles, the Japanese army was overwhelmed and decided to sweep up, but the result was chased by Su Yu, and the name of the God of War was called away.
First, the Japanese army lined up and was beaten
When Chen Yi led the brigade to meet Su Yu, the New Fourth Army received an order from Gu Zhutong, commander of the Second Theater, to destroy the railway in the Lower Shu region within three days. During the rainy season, with continuous rain, muddy roads, and in enemy-occupied areas, the troops were ordered to set off on June 13, and finally arrived in Xiashu on June 15, successfully destroying a section of railway and power lines. Japanese traffic thus stopped for several hours.
At this time, the morale of the army was high, and Su Yu decided to fight another battle! This was a plan he had been thinking about for a long time in his mind, since the New Fourth Army entered Jiangnan, the common people were defensive and did not understand, Su Yu had always wanted to fight a battle in Jiangnan to boost the confidence of the army and the people, and during reconnaissance, the most suitable place was Weigang.
Su Yu made a brief mobilization: "We are advancing into Jiangnan, the first battle is very important, we must fight a victorious battle!" "Then more than 100 capable personnel were selected: 6 rifle squads, 1 machine gun squad, 1 short gun squad. Marching rapidly at night, they reached their positions before dawn and lay in ambush on the side of the road. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese vehicles drove into the ambush circle, and under the order of Su Yu, everyone opened fire together, and the enemy on the first car was instantly destroyed. Because there was fog on a rainy day, plus there was a bend behind it, there was a mountain block, and the cars behind did not know what was happening in front of them, so the second, third, and fourth cars came to the door, and only the fifth car found that the situation was not right, and was eliminated after a fierce battle with our army on the side of the road, including a young sada.
Since then, the New Fourth Army has repeatedly destroyed the Japanese communication line, attacked the transport team, and destroyed a Japanese train, which greatly disrupted the rear of the Japanese army.
Second, Su Yu chased after the Japanese army
After reconnaissance, the Japanese army learned that Su Yu's second detachment was stationed in Xiaodanyang, so it immediately dispatched more than 4,000 infantry and more than 500 cavalry, under the cover of more than 20 bombers, the troops were divided into eight roads, determined to wipe out the garrison in Xiaodanyang in one fell swoop. But this was the first time that the Japanese army attacking southern China came into contact with the Communist army, and they thought that as long as they had dealt with the Nationalist army before, the army would be able to achieve victory by pressing the border, who knew that after reaching Xiaodanyang, there was no trace of the New Fourth Army.
It turned out that Su Yu adopted the guerrilla tactic of "the enemy advancing and we advance"; while the enemy was launching a large-scale attack, he bypassed the enemy army and scattered to attack the enemy's rear: one attacked Dangtu, causing panic among the enemy; one attacked Tao Wu south of Nanjing, pinning down the troops; and another elite army surprised the commanding heights of Yuhuatai on the outskirts of Nanjing, attacking the Japanese and puppet troops inside and outside the Zhonghua Gate. At the same time, local armed forces and people were mobilized to sabotage the main highways of Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Hangzhou, and so on.
When the Japanese army was at a loss near Xiaodanyang, it suddenly received frequent emergencies from its rear, thinking that the rear was suffering a large-scale attack, so it withdrew to the defense in a hurry and did not dare to stay for a while. Su Yu seized the fighter and ordered the troops to pursue bravely, lianke xiao danyang, Xue zhen, Hujiadun, Bowang and other villages and towns, lianke four towns, no casualties!
The mysterious guerrillas behind enemy lines made the Japanese army tremble with fear, and helplessly cried bitterly: "The New Fourth Army is really a god, there was no one when you hit him, and when he hit you, he came out..."
In this battle, General Su Yu flexibly moved guerrilla tactics, changed "the enemy advances and we retreat" to "the enemy advances and we advance," and took the attack as the defense, successfully repelled the large-scale sweep of the Japanese army, and greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army. Behind the flexible tactics is the accurate grasp of timing and meticulous thinking plan, as well as the keen sense of smell for changes in enemy situation, the impermanence of the army, and General Su Yu can use troops so magically almost every time, worthy of a generation of "god of war"!
