Chapter 30 The 115th Division
On September 22, 1937, at 8 a.m., Ouyang led the White Tiger Guerrillas to the temporary garrison of the 383rd Brigade of the 115th Division, west of SX Pingxingguan.
Ouyang's purpose here is very clear, that is, to participate in the battle of the 115th Division and fight against Pingxingguan together.
The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the division commander Lin (the full name cannot be written, for fear of being harmonious), the deputy division commander Nie Rongzhen, the 115th Division consists of the Red 15th Corps and the Red 74th in northern Shaanxi.
During the Red Army period, the Red 1st Army was the elite of the Central Red Army. It was a heroic force that could conquer and fight. During the Jinggangshan period, it was famous for its long time. During the Long March, it fought bloody battles in the Xiangjiang River, crossed the Chishui River four times, broke through the Jinsha River, forced the Dadu River, seized the Luding Bridge, and conquered the natural barrier Lazikou, all of which were the masterpieces of this army.
In a word, the 115th Division is a unit with extremely strong combat capabilities in the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party.
Dare to fight!
Fight bravely!
Ten miles outside Daying Town, Ouyang and others were spotted by the 115th Division's secret whistle and actively intercepted them.
Ouyang smiled and said, "Comrade, we are from the White Tiger Guerrillas of the 129th Division. I am the commander Ouyang. They are all my subordinates. If you don't believe it, please confirm it first."
Ouyang's tone was kind and gentle. For a moment, several soldiers from the 115th Division were convinced. However, the good discipline allowed them to continue to act according to the instructions, allowing Ouyang and others to rest on the spot, and arranged for someone to contact the 115th Division headquarters to verify their identity.
After about an hour, the soldier who had confirmed his identity turned around and said with a smile: "Commander Ou, I'm sorry, let everyone wait for a long time. You and I will come into town with me."
Immediately, Ouyang and others entered the temporary garrison of the 115th Division, Daying Town west of Pingxingguan.
When entering Daying Town, Ouyang felt a strong fighting atmosphere. The powerful combat cohesion of the 115th Division is indeed much stronger than that of the 12o Division and the 129th Division.
????????
Soon, Ouyang, as a guerrilla representative who came to participate in the war, was taken to Xiaozhai Primary School and the temporary command of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division.
Ouyang had just entered the command center, and happened to be in a meeting. Ouyang had to find a corner first and sit down. He saw three familiar faces first.
Commander of the 115th Division, Lin, founding marshal;
Deputy Commander of the 115th Division, Nie Rongzhen, Founding Marshal;
The commander of the 343rd Brigade, Chen Guang, in March 1938, Lin was injured. During his recovery in the Soviet Union, Chen Guang acted as the commander of the 115th Division. Unfortunately, he died in Wuhan due to mental disorders;
However, Ouyang did not see the director of the Political Training Department of the 115th Division today, Marshal Luo Rongheng, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
For a time, how could Ouyang not be excited to see so many revolutionary predecessors and the founders of the Party and the country?
At the same time, Ouyang also hopes to obtain some joy points in the 115th Division to be used for the summoning of fierce generals in the later stage.
In later generations, no one of these participants was a man who stomped his feet and shook the earth, especially the division commander Lin, who almost became the top leader of the party and the country. Although there were many controversies about him in later generations, his contribution to the country and the nation could not be erased during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Especially the next great victory in Pingxingguan was made by Lin Mou, Commander Lin!
Seeing Ouyang Zuoli on the side, everyone continued to hold a meeting, but Nie Rongzhen, deputy commander of the 115th Division, smiled at Ouyang.
In an instant, Ouyang felt that he was surrounded by surprise and excitement, just like the scene when he met Marshal Liu Bocheng and Marshal Xu Xiangqian in the 129th Division for the first time.
Ouyang even felt that when he saw the living ** and Vice Chairman Zhou, his heart would jump out!
Lin, the commander of the 115th Division, pointed to the large map inside the combat room and said in a deep voice: "SX is known as the "Roof of North China". Since ancient times, SX has been a commanding height in the North China region..."
"SX is located in the heart of North China and has a very important strategic position. It can control the Pinghan Railway in the east and reach the pseudo-Manchurian border. It can not only block the RB Kwantung Army and the North China Expeditionary Force, but also threaten Pingjin, exit Pingsui in the north, advance into the NMG Plateau, open up the international aid line, and connect Shaanxi and Gansu to the west."
As the words fell, they were loud and loud!
Those who participated in the conference were military cadres at the 115th Division and above. Everyone was slightly moved when they heard this.
Ouyang listened aside.
To put it nicely, Ouyang is the commander of the White Tiger Guerrillas. There are 2 battalions below, totaling more than 2oo soldiers, but these are all created by them themselves. There is no White Tiger Guerrillas in the combat sequence of the national name Revolutionary Army.
To put it bluntly, the White Tiger Guerrillas are just "black army" and are even worse than local troops.
Ouyang, the self-proclaimed commander, is actually still the second lieutenant platoon leader. In such a level of meeting, Ou ** has no say at all.
Seeing that the other officers were silent, Deputy Division Commander Nie Rongzhen smiled slightly.
He then said: "The teacher said it is right. In addition, SX has rich strategic resources such as coal, steel, salt, wheat, corn, etc. Therefore, SX has an extremely important strategic barrier and support role for Pingjin, North China, and even the whole country."
"In order to quickly realize the strategic attempt of occupying SX, the Japanese army has divided into two groups and advanced towards Taiyuan. Part of the Fifth Division of the Japanese army Seishiro Itagaki is advancing towards our Pingxingguan area. We are under heavy pressure."
The meeting is ongoing.
Finally, Commander Lin said: "We wrote to the **** Military Commission's combat request, and have received a reply, agreeing to us to launch a large-scale anti-enemy battle to inspire the morale of the entire army and the whole country."
He paused and said, "The location is located in the northeast of Pingxingguan, a 5-kilometer combat range between Guangou and Donghn Town, and an ambush is set up."
Seeing the confused expressions of a group of commanders and fighters, Deputy Commander Nie Rongzhen explained: "The ambush location was studied by me and the commander repeatedly surveying the terrain."
"Inside Pingxingguan, there is a narrow valley road extending from northeast to southwest. It leads from Pingxingguanguankou to Donghn Town, LQ County, with a total length of nearly 30 kilometers."
"From the terrain alone, it is indeed a good place to fight ambushing, and the terrain is complex and the terrain is changing. The division commander and I finally selected the 5-kilometer section between Guangou and Donghn Town as the military ambush combat area."
"The 4-kilometer section from Xiaozhai to Laoyemiao is the key combat area. Because this area has a very dangerous terrain, deep ditches and narrow roads, and the narrowest place can only pass through one car and high ground on both sides, which facilitates our army to deploy troops in secret, raise firepower and launch assaults, which is an ideal battlefield for ambushing and annihilation of the enemy."
The heroes have similar views!
Upon hearing this, Ouyang was extremely excited. The ambush location selected by Pingxingguan was actually somewhat similar to the ambush location chosen by Ouyang at Baishaguan before. They all rely on favorable terrain to set up ambush to the greatest extent.
"The Art of War? Topography" says: "Knowing the heaven and the earth, victory can be achieved."
Commander Lin and Deputy Commander Nie Rongzhen of the 115th Division seized the enemy's arrogance and neglect of vigilance, used the favorable terrain in the northeast of Pingxingguan to unexpectedly use ambush methods to annihilate the enemy, and at the same time, they did all their strength to cooperate with friendly forces in combat.
At the end of the meeting, Lin, the commander of the 115th Division, made the final decision: "My 115th Division has decided to fight an enemy annihilation battle at Pingxingguan that is terrifying China. The time is set for the early morning of September 25th. All troops enter the first-level combat alert state and are ready to fight at any time!"
After the words came to an end, Ouyang Zhixiao, the Pingxingguan battle that was terrifying at home and abroad was about to begin, and Ouyang also hopes to contribute his own strength in this battle.
Ouyang felt that he could use his foresight history to at least maximize the results of the war and reduce casualties among the soldiers.
Ouyang needed to do this. Immediately, in front of many battalion-level officers, he stood up regardless of everyone's surprise expression, walked slowly towards everyone, and smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, Deputy Commander Nie, I have a saying, don't you know whether to say it or not?"
""The third update!
I originally wanted to continue the fourth update, but I felt like my body was hollowed out. Today I will update the third update. Wait until I save more words and I will explode it in a few days.
Chapter completed!
