The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was an all-out war between the Chinese nation and the Japanese aggressors. In this war, whether it was the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, or the Kuomintang army, they all fought very bravely, very flexibly, bravery and wisdom far exceeded the Japanese army. But now, many people have wantonly slandered the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, saying that they have no combat effectiveness and have never done real knives and guns with the Japanese army.
So, did the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army really not fight with the Japanese army? Today, Xiaobian refuted this fallacy with the great victory of the Eighth Route Army in opposing the "sweeping up."
In November 1941, the Japanese army gathered more than 50,000 people to "sweep" the base area of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong Province. In order to cover the transfer of ordinary people, the leading organs of the Eighth Route Army were once trapped in the Yimeng Mountains.
The Japanese army surrounded from all sides, and the nearest road had already exchanged fire with the eighth route army's vigilance troops, and the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invasion of China, Hata (tian) Shunroku, and the Shandong commander-in-chief Tuqiao all rushed to the front line to supervise the battle, in an attempt to fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army.
At this critical juncture, the Eighth Route Army was not in chaos, broke through in the direction of the largest number of Japanese troops, and even went to Linyi (yi), the old nest of the Japanese army.
The next day, when the Japanese attacked, they found that there was no one there, and all the shells fired were empty. Hata (tian) Shunroku and Tsuchihashi and others were furious, brandishing their command knives and screaming.
Just as tens of thousands of Japanese troops were stumbling around in the Yimeng Mountains, they suddenly heard that the Eighth Route Army had worked in its old nest and killed and injured more than 300 little devils in one go. Hata (tian) Shunroku was taken aback and rushed back to Linyi with the "sweeping" Japanese troops. But he pounced again, and did not find a single Eighth Route Army.
All this was a ploy of the Eighth Route Army, which first deliberately "started fighting" in the old nest of the Japanese army, transferred Hata Shunroku out of the Yimeng Mountains, and then led the troops back to the Yimeng Mountains to recuperate in the mountains. A few days later, a Japanese army that had gone out to rob was eliminated nearby, and when the Japanese rescue troops arrived, the Eighth Route Army disappeared completely.
When the Large Japanese Army appeared, the Eighth Route Army was like evaporating in the human world, but when the small Japanese troops appeared, the Eighth Route Army drilled out again, and all the Japanese troops were "swept away." On the night of November 29, more than 600 Japanese troops escorting supplies were all sent back to their hometown in Toyo in their dreams.
More than 50 days have passed, and the Japanese army has not found the main force of the Eighth Route Army, but it is exhausted. The Eighth Route Army searched for gaps in the Japanese army and attacked everywhere, killing and wounding dozens of people and hundreds of people at a time, leaving after the fight, leaving all the work of collecting the corpses to the Japanese rescue troops, and then "starting to fight" elsewhere.
The "sweeping" of the Japanese army became a large parade of constant losses and generals, and finally exhausted, it had to end in gray and slippery, and the "sweep" of 50,000 people ended in vain.
At present, many people look down on the fragmented battle of the Eighth Route Army, believing that the Eighth Route Army has no combat effectiveness and does not dare to "open the line to fight" with the Japanese army. But they deliberately covered up a fundamental problem: in this anti-"sweep," the Eighth Route Army wiped out more than 6,000 Japanese troops, while its own casualties were less than 500.
Is the elimination of so many Japanese troops still not considered to be anti-Japanese?
