Zhou Wen actually felt a little guilty about the newly arrived Commander Huang, because his advance detachment robbed the 139th Division of the opportunity to leave its name in history.
In the original history, the Mishan advance team had already occupied Lengkou Pass on March 4, while General Shang Zheng's 32nd Army was still hundreds of kilometers away.
It was not until March 7 that the 139th Division, the leading force of the 32nd Army, arrived in Lulong County. After learning that Lengkou Pass had been occupied by the Japanese army, Commander Huang received an order from his superiors and decided to take advantage of the main force of the Japanese army to fight in Rehe.
When the Japanese army had few troops at Kouguan, they decided to recapture Lengkou Pass at all costs.
You must know that Lengkou Pass is not just a pass, but connects Baiyangyu Pass to the west, Cherry Orchard and Baili Mountain to the east. The four highlands stretch for more than ten kilometers and form the entire defense line of Lengkou Pass. After the Japanese army occupied Lengkou Pass,
Troops had to be divided and garrisoned in several dangerous highlands. With more than a thousand people spread out, there would not be too many Japanese troops in the main position at Lengkou Pass.
On the day he received the order, Commander Huang led his troops from Lulong County, where they were stationed, to Jianchangying Town, about 5 kilometers south of Lengkou, to assemble, and sent investigators disguised as mountain people to conduct investigations.
In the afternoon, the scout reported that there were less than a thousand Japanese troops at the main position of Lengkou and the defense was lax.
Commander Huang decided to use one regiment as the main attack and launch an attack on the main position of Lengkou Pass when the sun went down. As long as the main position was broken, the number of Japanese troops in the remaining two highlands would be smaller, and there would still be the danger of being surrounded by the 139th Division.
Choose to retreat.
This was the first battle of the 139th Division since Jin Dynasty entered Hebei Province, and it was also the first time to fight against the Japanese army whose weapons and equipment were far superior to its own. The morale of the entire division was high, and many people were even prepared to sacrifice.
In the evening, perhaps Mishan and his advance team believed that the Chinese army would not take the initiative to launch an attack; perhaps they felt that the Chinese army was simply vulnerable, so they did not seriously set up defenses during the evening meal in the camp.
Our soldiers of the 717th Regiment did not conduct an artillery attack before the attack. In fact, the 139th Division did not have any mountain artillery. The division only had one mortar company, less than 10 old-fashioned Jin-made mortars and few rounds of shells. But they
Taking advantage of the sunset, they quietly approached the Japanese position, and then launched a sudden attack. More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the entire regiment rushed into the enemy camp like tigers.
The 139th Division was a friendly force with General Song's 29th Army in Shanxi, and many of its soldiers were good at swordsmanship. At this moment, they showed their prowess. After several rounds, they killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers, forcing the Mishan advance team to flee.
The battle lasted only 2 hours, and Lengkou Pass, which had been occupied by the Japanese army for 4 days, was recaptured by our army.
Historically, this offensive war was known as the only offensive war fought by the Chinese army during the entire Great Wall War of Resistance.
After the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War ended, the 139th Division led by Commander Huang, with only more than 5,000 men, blocked the Japanese army at Lengkou Pass for a month, which effectively slowed down the Japanese army's advance. Especially for the victory of regaining Lengkou in the first battle, the National Government
Awarded the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, he is the 29th recipient of this medal in the history of the Republic of China.
And now, the first battle of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War was won by Zhou Wen, the Mishan advance team won it, and it is very likely that Mr. Huang won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. Zhou Wen naturally felt a little guilty towards this famous anti-Japanese general.
Therefore, when Commander Huang and a group of his officers stood on a high ground at Wazikou, shocked and speechless by the densely packed Japanese corpses on the battlefield, Zhou Wen quickly winked at Zhao Changshu.
Zhao Changshu took a step forward with a smile and said in Mr. Huang's ear: "Senior brother came from thousands of miles away to help. I am very grateful. I have prepared a few small gifts. I hope senior brother Haihan will accept it."
Mr. Huang, on the other hand, had not yet been freed from the shock in his heart. He looked at the remains of the battlefield in front of him. Although he stood upright on the high slope, his heart was turbulent, and there was even a hint of coldness raging.
"It's true...it's so damn true."
A Japanese reinforced group, with more than 1,400 corpses, lay quietly in the depression at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Dozens of officers ranging from majors to second lieutenants, none of them ran away, let alone survived.
It wasn't until Zhao Changshu's voice rang in his ears that he came back to his senses and looked at the young colonel who had been very polite before with a complicated expression and always had a kind smile on his face.
He could be sure that the advance detachment led by this colonel was not a model brigade at all, nor was it even a member of the Jin army.
First of all, their strange camouflage combat uniforms were completely different from the navy blue military uniforms of the Model Brigade officers and soldiers, and the officers around the colonel exuded a fierce and stern aura.
As a veteran on the battlefield for many years, he knew that this was not a sign of arrogance, but rather the confidence and disdain of not taking ordinary enemies into consideration after fighting in the flames of war for many years and achieving countless feats.
In romance novels, a person with this kind of momentum would be a peerless general who would take the head of an admiral out of a million soldiers like a man in a bag. In Lieutenant General Huang's decades of military career, he has only seen one or two such people.
Now this young colonel has several people under his command.
Look at the officers and soldiers of the advance detachment in the distance. They are dressed in combat attire from head to toe that I have never seen before. Their helmets are all wrapped in camouflage cloth, and everyone wears a white cloak. However, no one is curious and looks towards them.
Looking east and west.
Their faces were filled with smiles and relief after the victory.
Although there are no combat missions now, you can see vigilant soldiers patrolling on various highlands. Other soldiers are grouped into units, gathering in twos and threes to rest, some chatting in low voices, and some wiping their weapons.
No one was making any noise, and no one was playing or playing. Although the team was being repaired, it did not appear to be scattered or disorderly.
Speaking of the weapons of these officers and soldiers, Commander Huang and a group of 139th Division officers felt a little ashamed.
It's not that their weapons are too good, but that they have never seen many of them before, not only because they can recognize their models.
The weapons and equipment of the army of the Republic of China can be said to be of the IWC brand. The weapons of the world powers at that time, whether they were the standard weapons of the major military and industrial countries such as the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and the Soviet Union, or the weapons of small countries such as Belgium and the Czech Republic
Exported weapons could be seen in the Republic of China army, which also made the officers of the Republic of China army well-informed. At that time, some common weapons in the world could be identified at a glance.
But today, they feel like they are simply ignorant country bumpkins.
Damn it, it doesn’t matter if your weapons are good, I can understand if your weapons are advanced, but I can’t recognize your weapons. There is even one with a thick and long tube that looks like an enlarged rifle.
It’s hard to guess what effect the little cannon’s stuff has, so it’s a bit bullying.
