We often say that history is the best textbook, and among them, the most moving poetry. The Battle of the Hundred Regiments between 1940 and 1941 and the subsequent "Iron Wall Encirclement" of the Japanese army were not only a contest of strategy and courage, but also a test of wisdom and resilience.
What deep-seated strategic wisdom does the choice of more than 700 soldiers led by Yang Chengwu reveal in a desperate situation? Behind these historical events, has it touched your heart?
Looking back at that bloody and bloody years, from August to December 1940, a large-scale battle of 100 regiments was set off on the battlefield of China's resistance against Japan. This battle was not only a major blow to the Japanese army, but also a concentrated demonstration of the wisdom and courage of the Eighth Route Army. Can you imagine this? In the interweaving of iron and fire, how our soldiers forced the Japanese army back again and again to defend this hot land?
In the face of such pressure, what was the response of the Eighth Route Army? This tactic of winning more with less shows the Eighth Route Army's extraordinary combat effectiveness and superb tactical layout. But as it turns out, this tactic doesn't work every time.
In September 1941, Okamura Ninji took advantage of the ripe time to mobilize heavy troops, formed a posture of horn attack, and launched a fierce attack on the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.
In the face of the iron hooves of the Japanese army, the Jin-Cha-Ji First Army Division under the command of Yang Chengwu had to choose to retreat in order to preserve its strength and look forward to the opportunity to counterattack in the future.
Yang Chengwu originally planned to lead more than 700 people across the Taihang Mountain, but after several days of long-distance running, the female soldiers were physically exhausted, and the entire team was forced to suspend in the mountains. At this time, the Japanese pursuers were approaching, and the situation was in a desperate situation.
Can you imagine what kind of strength and fearlessness flashed in the eyes of those female soldiers who originally lived in the scholarly family?
He ordered part of his forces to continue to attract the attention of the enemy, while he himself led the remaining troops to break through. Although this strategy is extremely risky, it also reflects Yang Chengwu's determination not to abandon any fighter.
Think about how critical the situation was! In that environment, everyone could be the next victim, but instead of giving up or retreating, they chose to face the enemy with greater courage.
This is not just a battle, but a profound baptism of humanity. In the rain of bullets, every choice, every choice, may change the situation of the war, and even change the course of history.
Behind all this, it is not difficult for us to see that whether it is the fierce battle of the 100 regiments or the bitter battle of "iron wall encirclement", it has profoundly revealed a spirit: that is, the spirit of perseverance and perseverance in the war of resistance.
This spirit is not only reflected in the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, but also in every difficult moment and every desperate place, which is shown by countless ordinary and great people.
From the Battle of the Hundred Regiments to the "Iron Wall Encirclement", from Yang Chengwu's decision-making to the sacrifice of ordinary soldiers, every choice and decision has deeply portrayed the imprint of that era.
