On the evening of the 24th, the commander of the 115th Division, Lin Division, issued an operational order.
The 343rd Brigade was ordered to set off into the Baiyatai area at 24 o'clock on the evening of the 24th to set up an ambush, and the 344th Brigade then went to Pingxingguan, and all units completed various operational preparations before dawn on the second day.
On the evening of the 24th, a rare rainstorm suddenly fell, and the temperature plummeted, and the autumn cold hit people.
Nie Rongzhen smiled bitterly and said, "God, this is a joke for us, isn't it." ” Hearing this, Division Commander Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "In other words, we all feel that it is difficult to act, and the little devil will not think that we will ambush in the rain, which is God joking with us, it is completely God to help me."
At midnight, the troops marched to the predetermined location in the rain, and the soldiers, who had neither raincoats nor hats, marched through mountain trails and muddy ravines in the wind and rain.
The torrential rain was followed by a sudden flash flood "Hurry, everybody, we have to hurry."
The commander of the 685th regiment shouted in the face of the wind and rain.
The political commissar of the 685th regiment followed and said: "Regiment commander, the road ahead has been destroyed by the flash flood, and there is no way to cross it." ” "If you can't get by, you have to get by, even if you climb for me, you have to climb over" The commander of the 685th regiment almost shouted, "Don't say that the road ahead is washed away by the torrent, it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, delaying the major event of the division commander, he dares to shoot me three times, don't talk nonsense, hurry up."
The officers and men of the Eighth Route had to hang their guns and bullets around their necks, hand in hand, or drag their horses' tails, through waist-high quagmires and even chest-deep rapids, and rush to the predetermined ambush positions.
A similar situation was encountered with the 343 Brigade.
The commander of the 343rd Brigade, Chen Guang, ordered: "Throw away all the baggage immediately, don't want it all, delay the division commander's major event, we don't have any good fruit to eat, let the soldiers speed up, and be sure to arrive before the scheduled time."
In the early morning of September 25, after a night of wind and rain, the 115th Division rushed to the ambush position, southeast of Guangou, according to the scheduled time, and quickly built fortifications to implement camouflage.
At this moment, the autumn rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy and terrible.
The White Tiger guerrillas who were ambushed in the Lao Ye Temple in the north of Guangou had already built hidden fortifications, and everyone lay motionless on the ground.
Zhou Weiguo looked at all the soldiers of the 115th Division building fortifications quickly, his expression was also very shocked, and he whispered to Ouyang: "The speed of the 115th Division's fortification construction and camouflage is absolutely first-class, compared to the country."
In terms of the army, it is much stronger. ” "Of course" Ouyang responded: "The predecessor of the 115th Division, but the Red 1st Army, on the way of the Long March, fought the Xiangjiang River, crossed the Chishui River four times, broke through the Jinsha River, forcibly crossed the Dadu River, flew to capture the Luding Bridge, and conquered the dangerous Lazikou, all of which were the masterpieces of this army. ” After a pause, he said: "If you don't have this ability, you won't be nationalized sooner."
Has the army been suppressed?"
In just twenty minutes, the soldiers of the 115th Division had already built an ambush position, and it was well hidden.
After a night of wind and rain, the warriors were covered in yellow mud, blending in with the surrounding scenery, and even if they got closer, it was difficult to spot their hidden figures.
If it weren't for Ouyang and the others watching them all the time, it would have been extremely difficult to find out where the soldiers of the 115th Division were hiding.
On the surface, from Pingxingguan to Donghn Town.
The 5-kilometre-long valley road is empty and everything seems very calm.
On an unobtrusive hill on the eastern side of the flat Kanto area.
The commander of the 115th Division, Lin Division, was half-kneeling on the grass and marked the position of the position on a piece of paper, and Nie Rongzhen used a telescope to observe the position and ditch access road of the ambush.
When they saw that the troops were hidden without revealing a single flaw, and completely blended with the mountains and plants, they couldn't help but smile at each other with satisfaction.
A staff officer standing on the side wasted no time in raising his camera, leaving behind the classic historical photos of the organizers and commanders of the two Pingxingguan victories.
"I miss it so much."
This precious historical photo, Ouyang, who traveled through the money, was fortunate to see it in the Pingxingguan Dajie Memorial Hall, and now he is at the scene in person, and his heart is full of emotion.
In fact, in real history, the 115th Division did not arrange for people to ambush in the Lao Ye Temple.
As long as anyone who knows a little about military affairs knows that setting up an ambush on both sides, striking in both directions, and forming a cross-fire network are obviously much more useful than a one-way ambush.
However, in history, Master Lin was unusual, and chose a one-sided ambush tactic, which is extremely unscientific, and some people may not understand, but it is actually caused by many factors.
Not only because the north side is a steep mountain wall, which is not conducive to hiding, but because if you want to ambush the Japanese army in Lao Ye Temple, you must climb the steep cliff wall in the north from the shortcut at the bottom of the ditch, which will inevitably leave footprints on the muddy ground left at the bottom of the ditch, causing the Japanese army to be alert and not conducive to covert action.
This is why Ouyang chose to come here to set up an ambush a day in advance Occupying the commanding heights of Lao Ye Temple, the Japanese troops in the ditch will be completely exposed to the fire of the White Tiger guerrillas.
In a word, whoever occupies the Lao Ye Temple will occupy a great advantage in this battle Time passed quickly, and the people lying in ambush on both sides of the position did not move.
Sept. 25, 7 a.m.
In the direction of the racehorse pool in the southwest of the position, the sound of the motor of the car was heard, and a car team of the Japanese army was about to enter the front line of the 685th regiment's position.
It is only 2 miles away from the ambush point in the ditch.
This Japanese army, On the first car, dozens of Japanese soldiers in the "plaster flag" of the Japanese army, wearing steel helmets, swaying, singing, wearing yellow tweed coats, holding rifles with bayonets in their arms.
"It's stupid" Zhou Weiguo smiled softly at Ouyang: "The Japanese army, which has always been rigorous in combat, will violate the battlefield march and logistics transportation conventions."
Jiang Daya also followed up and said: "The Japanese army does not send sharp soldiers to explore the road, and there are no search troops on the left and right, as if they are comfortably carrying out a tourist feast." ” In fact, this phenomenon was caused by the regular army of the Kuomintang at that time, because the 5th Division was able to gallop and be invincible for more than two months from the time it was put into operation in the Kannai, and it was invincible, and it had never had an opponent.
Therefore, the Japanese army at that time looked down on China and the army very much, and they called this kind of operation "coaching", and fighting the Kuomintang army was called "chasing ducks".
However, the arrogant and invincible Japanese army never imagined that the opponent they encountered this time was different from the past, but the officers and soldiers of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which they later called the "cunning and cunning" Eighth Route Army.
Ouyang conveyed the order to the soldiers around him, "Everyone, without my order, you must not be exposed, and you must not shoot" On the position south of Guangou, most of the officers and men of the Eighth Route of the 115th Division saw the Japanese army for the first time, and their eyes widened one by one, except for the difference in military uniforms and weapons, they did not seem to find anything special about the Japanese army.
A soldier of the Eighth Route Army whispered: "The little devil is nothing more than that" "The little devil doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he is still swaying and singing."
"Little devil, I'll send you back to my hometown later" The soldiers of the 115th Division were full of disdain for the devils who entered the ambush circle.

The officers and men of the Eighth Route on the position pulled the bolt of their guns, pushed the bullets into the chambers, aimed at the devils in the ditch, and waited for the commander to give an order, but they saw the devils' cars driving past their ambush positions one after another, but they could not hear the commander's attack order The commander of the 115th Division is waiting Because he got another fatal news, there is another Japanese army, advancing from the opposite direction of the enemy in front of him, and it is difficult to meet the troops in one place, which adds a lot of uncertainty to the ambush battle One: The Japanese army that was supposed to ambush was an automobile wing under the 21st Brigade of the Itagaki Division, with 101 large and small cars, from the east to the east of the pond area, from west to east, in the ravine, the Japanese convoy, like a long snake, crawled in the muddy mountain stream after the rain, and drove into the ambush area, there were more than 100 cars, stretching for several miles, and the number of Japanese troops was about 400 people, coming from west to east to transport soldiers to the front line; Another: There is also a Japanese mule and horse transport team, a baggage unit of the Japanese army, about 500 people, from the direction of Lingqiu and Cai Jiayu, to the ambush area, from east to west, this is a large baggage force of the devil, that is, a baggage force.
The carts of mules and horses carried on a mountain road stretching for 4 or 5 miles, coming from east to west, also entered the ambush circle.
This meant that there were two Japanese armies, from the east and west, at the same time entered the pocket formation set up by the 115th Division in advance.
The number of enemies to be ambushed has changed from one group to two teams of enemies, and the difficulty has suddenly increased The first update t1706231537:
