On September 22, 1937, at 8 a.m., Ouyang led the White Tiger guerrillas to Daying Town, west of the SX Pingxing Pass, the temporary station of the 383rd Brigade of the 115th Division.
Ouyang's purpose for coming here is very clear, that is, to participate in the battle of the 115th Division and fight together to draw the pass.
The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the division commander Lin Quan's name could not be written, for fear of being harmonized, deputy division commander Nie Rongzhen, the 115th Division was composed of the Red 1st Army Corps and the Red 15th Army Corps and the Red 74 in northern Shaanxi.
During the Red Army, the Red 1st Army Corps was the elite of the Central Red Army, and it was a heroic unit that could fight well, and it was famous for a long time during the Jinggangshan period, and on the way of the Long March, the bloody battle of the Xiangjiang River, the four crossings of Chishui, the breakthrough of the Jinsha River, the forcible crossing of the Dadu River, the capture of the Luding Bridge, and the capture of the dangerous Lazikou are all the masterpieces of this army.
In a word, the 115th Division is the unit with extremely strong combat capability 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 discovered by the secret outpost of the 115th Division and took the initiative to intercept them.
Ouyang smiled and said: "Comrade, we are the White Tiger guerrillas of the 129th Division, I am the commander Ouyang, and they are all my subordinates, if you don't believe it, confirm it first." ” Ouyang's tone was kind and gentle, and for a while, he also convinced several soldiers of the 115th Division, but good discipline made them still act according to the instructions, let Ouyang and the others rest on the spot, and arranged for someone to contact the headquarters of the 115th Division for identity verification.
After about an hour, the soldier who confirmed his identity turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Ou, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, you can follow me into the town." ” Immediately, Ouyang and the others entered the temporary station of the 115th Division, Daying Town, west of Pingxingguan.
Entering Daying Town, Ouyang felt a strong fighting atmosphere, and the strong combat cohesion of the 115th Division was indeed much stronger than that of the 120th and 129th Divisions.
Not long after, Ouyang, as a representative of the guerrillas who came to the 129th Division to participate in the battle, was taken to Xiaozhai Primary School, the temporary headquarters of the 115th Brigade of the 343rd Division.
Ouyang had just entered the headquarters, and it happened that the headquarters was in a meeting, so Ouyang had to find a corner and sit down, and immediately saw three familiar faces.
Commander of the 115th Division, Lin, founding marshal; Deputy Commander of the 115th Division, Nie Rongzhen, Founding Marshal; Commander of the 343rd Brigade, Chen Guang, in March 1938, Lin was wounded, during the period of recuperation in the Soviet Union, Chen Guang acted as the commander of the 115th Division, but unfortunately in 1954, because of mental disorders, he died in Wuhan; However, Ouyang didn't see the director of the Political Training Office of the 115th Division, Marshal Luo Rongheng, today, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
For a while, seeing so many revolutionary predecessors and founders of the party and the country, how could Ouyang not be excited At the same time, Ouyang also hopes to be able to obtain some joy points in the 115th division for the later summoning of fierce generals.
These participants present, in later generations, which one is not a stomping foot, shaking the ground, especially the division commander Lin, is almost a man who became the leader of the party and the country, although there are many controversies about him in later generations, but during the Anti-Japanese War, he still cannot erase his contribution to the country and the nation.
Especially the next Pingxingguan victory, which was from the hands of Lin Moulin Seeing Ouyang Zuoli aside, everyone continued to hold the meeting, but Nie Rongzhen, deputy commander of the 115th Division, smiled at Ouyang.
In an instant, Ouyang felt that he was surrounded by a wave of surprise and excitement, just like the scene when he first saw Marshal Liu Bocheng and Marshal Xu Xiangqian at the headquarters of the 129th Division, and it felt almost identical.
Ouyang even felt that one day, when he saw the living Chairman Mao and Vice Chairman Zhou, his heart would not jump out Lin Mou, commander of the 115th Division, pointed to the large map in the war room and said in a deep voice: "SX is known as the "roof of North China", and since ancient times, SX has been a commanding height in North China. ” "SX is located in the heart of North China, the strategic position is very important, the east can control the Pinghan Railway, up to the pseudo "Manchuria" border, can not only block the RB Kwantung Army, and the North China Dispatch Army, but also threaten Pingjin, north out of Pingsui, advance into the NG Plateau, open up the international aid line, west to connect Shaanxi and Gansu. ” The voice fell, and there was a loud sound Those who attended the meeting were all military cadres at and above the battalion level of the 115th Division, and everyone was slightly moved when they heard this.
Ouyang listened from the sidelines.
Ouyang, to put it nicely, is the commander of the White Tiger Guerrillas, and there are two battalions below, with a total of more than 200 fighters, but these are all made up by themselves, and in the battle sequence of the Revolutionary Army, there is no such thing as the White Tiger Guerrillas.
To put it bluntly, the White Tiger guerrillas are a "black army", which is inferior to even the local troops.
Ouyang, the self-appointed commander, is actually still at the rank of second lieutenant platoon leader, and in meetings at this level, Ou Ben does not have the slightest right to speak.
Seeing that the other officers were silent, Deputy Division Commander Nie Rongzhen smiled slightly.
Then he said: "What the division commander said is very right, and in addition, there are abundant strategic resources such as coal, steel, salt, wheat, and corn in SX, so SX has an extremely important strategic barrier and supporting role for Pingjin, North China, and even the whole country." ” "In order to quickly realize the strategic attempt to occupy SX, the Japanese army has divided its troops into two routes and advanced in the direction of Taiyuan, among which the fifth division of the Japanese army Itagaki Seishiro is advancing towards our Pingxingguan area, and our pressure is very heavy."
The meeting is ongoing.
In the end, Division Lin said: "We have written to the Central Military Commission for an operational request, and we have been approved, agreeing that we will launch a large-scale battle to annihilate the enemy and boost the morale of the whole army and the whole country to resist the war. ” After a pause, he said: "The location is in the northeast of Pingxing Pass, a 5-kilometer combat range between Guangou and Donghan Town, and an ambush will be carried out. ” Seeing the confused expressions of the commanders and fighters, Deputy Division Commander Nie Rongzhen explained: "The ambush location was made by me and the division commander after repeatedly surveying the terrain and researching. ” "Outside the Pingxing Pass, there is a narrow valley road extending from the northeast to the southwest, which leads from the Pingxing Pass to Donghn Town, Q County, with a total length of nearly 30 kilometers."
"Judging from the terrain alone, it is indeed a good place for ambushes, and the terrain is complex and the terrain is changeable, so the division commander and I finally selected the 5-kilometer section between Guangou and Donghn Town as the ambush operation area for the troops."
"Among them, the 4-kilometer section from Xiaozhai to Lao Ye Temple is a key combat area, because the terrain in this area is very dangerous, the ditch is deep and the road is narrow, and the narrowest place can only pass through a car, and the high ground on both sides is convenient for our army to deploy troops in concealment, carry out firepower and carry out assaults, and it is an ideal battlefield for ambushing and destroying the enemy."
Great minds think alike Hearing this, Ouyang's heart was extremely excited, the ambush location selected by Pingxingguan was actually somewhat similar to the ambush location that Ouyang had chosen in Baisha Pass before, relying on the favorable terrain to set up an ambush to hit the enemy to the greatest extent.
Sun Tzu's Art of War topography said: "Knowing the heavens and the earth, victory is complete." ” Commander Lin and Deputy Division Commander Nie Rongzhen of the 115th Division seized the enemy's arrogance and lack of vigilance, took advantage of the favorable terrain in the northeast of Pingxingguan, took it by surprise, and annihilated the enemy army by means of ambush, and at the same time did everything in their power to cooperate with friendly forces.
At the end of the meeting, Lin Mou, commander of the 115th Division, made a final decision: "I, the 115th Division, have decided to fight a battle to annihilate the enemy in Pingxingguan, and the time is set for the early morning of September 25, and all troops will enter a state of first-level combat alert and be ready to fight at any time."
When the words fell, Ouyang knew that in 3 days, the Battle of Pingxingguan at home and abroad was about to start, and Ouyang also hoped to contribute his own strength in this battle.
Ouyang felt that he could use his prescient history to at least maximize the results of the battle and reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
It was necessary for Ouyang to do this, and immediately, in front of many battalion and regiment-level officers, he stood up regardless of everyone's stunned expressions, slowly walked towards everyone, and said with a smile: "Division Commander Lin, Deputy Division Commander Nie, I have a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not."
The third more I originally wanted to continue the fourth shift, but there is a feeling that the body has been hollowed out, so let's do the third watch today, wait for me to save more Braille, and then break out in a few days.
