1. From the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War to the Battle of Xuzhou and then to the Battle of Wuhan, "General Tiequan" has repeatedly made outstanding achievements.
1in March, 933, the Japanese army invaded the Great Wall, and all the soldiers of the 25th Division led a bloody battle against the Great Wall, which severely damaged the Japanese army in the battle of Gubeikou. Later, due to the non-resistance policy of the authorities, the Great Wall finally fell into the enemy.
Guan is a famous scholar and Confucian general in the first phase of Huangpu. His calligraphy level is very high, and he made many contributions during the Northern Expedition. Guan was the commander of the Great Wall during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's time, and he was promoted to the commander of the 52nd Army in 1937. 1937 10 Japanese troops invaded Zhanghe River in southern Hebei Province, and led the 52nd Army to launch an offensive and defensive war with the Japanese 1st 12 Division in dohihara. The two sides met several times, the fighting was extremely fierce, and the positions changed hands repeatedly, eventually forcing the Japanese army to retreat.
1in March, 938, the Japanese army invaded Taierzhuang area, and the customs led the department to rescue the Japanese army in the peripheral areas. In the battle, Guan breaks the routine and wins because of the enemy. When attacking the Setagaya detachment, he ordered the troops to ambush during the day and go out at night, attacking the Japanese barracks in the dark, so that the Japanese army was caught off guard and fled hastily. In the emergency when the military headquarters was suddenly attacked, he kept calm, pretended to attack and confused the enemy, bought time for the reinforcements and successfully escaped from danger.
When Li Zongren ordered the counter-offensive, Guan went after them, successively panic in thousands of people including Sakamoto detachment and Okazaki detachment, and recovered a large number of outlying strongholds, which made great contributions to Taierzhuang. During the transfer, Guan rode 16' s head and rushed to the enemy. After the war, Guan was promoted to the commander of the 32nd Army. Because of his bravery in the battle, Guan was also called "General with an Iron Fist".
In the Battle of Wuhan, Guan commanded the 32nd Army Corps to stop the Japanese army, among which 52nd Army arranged defense lines in Ruichang and Yangxin areas of Wuhan to stop the enemy. The 32nd Corps fought bravely and stopped the Japanese army for more than a month. However, under the fierce attack of Japanese planes and artillery, the 52 nd Corps suffered heavy casualties and even was disabled, and had to be ordered to move and retreat.
On the way back, Guan got a call from Lin Wei for oversight. Lin Wei, who has always been arrogant, is very polite this time. He carefully asked Guan if he could have another battle north of Taurus. Guan is very angry. The 52nd Army is disabled, so let the troops fight. Isn't this a death sentence? What medicine is this kid Lin Wei selling in the gourd?
Second, "General Tiequan" came up with a clever plan, so that the Japanese army could not find the north, and the miscellaneous army dragged the Japanese army for a week.
This has to start with the logistics department in Yu Feipeng. The war tests the logistics, and the logistics materials are replenished in time, so that the soldiers in front have guns, guns and food. When the logistics is broken, even the best gun becomes a fire stick.
In order to ensure the logistics supply of the Wuhan Battle, Yu Feipeng set up a ship transportation headquarters in Wuhan to command the ships from Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan in a unified way, and the war preparation materials from all over the country were continuously transported to Wuhan.
This was a good thing, but with the change of the war in Wuhan, a mountain of materials has become a big trouble for Yu Feipeng. Due to the tight front-line war, these materials could not fall into the hands of the Japanese. Oversight ordered Yu Feipeng to seize the time to transfer these materials, which was more urgent than they were transported away. The logistics department is so busy that Yu Feipeng has a headache.
In desperation, he explained the situation to his superiors many times. Lin Wei found Guan and asked Guan to find a way to delay for another week so that these strategic materials could be safely transferred.
Although Guan was annoyed, he had to obey the supervision. However, it is also a problem that the 52 nd Army suffered heavy casualties and could not organize effective blocking warfare. After consultation, oversight agreed to Guan's request, that is, the 52 nd Army continued to retreat, and Guan and the Legion Department stayed behind to command other troops to fight against the sniper.
Soon, oversight's orders came down to command Gan's 6th Army, the185th Division of the 94th Army, a howitzer of the 5th Army and some guerrillas. Seeing these soldiers worried, it was still difficult for the 52nd Army to resist the enemy. Now, these troops with miscellaneous brands can't stop the Japanese army. If they spread out in front, I'm afraid they won't last a day.
Fortunately, Guan is a general who can recruit good fighters, and he is familiar with the art of war and has also studied Clovis's On War, so he is a courageous and resourceful Confucian general. Soon, he came up with a clever plan, which made the Japanese army suffer.
Guan first turned the northern defense line to the west. This line of defense, with its back to Xiangjiang River, is mainly used to protect the passage of material transfer. The northern defense line is more than ten kilometers deep. There are many hills in this 10 km defense line. On the slightly larger hill, Guan has arranged troops, but there are not many troops. Each hill is equipped with about 10 combat teams, all led by experienced veterans. These soldiers can also fight independently.
When the battle broke out, the Japanese army continued its old style of play, that is, "artillery bombarded the infantry and charged." When it comes to the mountain top where guns are fired, the Japanese first blow up the plane, the artillery fires, and then the infantry rushes up. However, there are not many troops arranged by Guan, and playing sparrows with the Japanese army is like playing cannons, and the effect is not good. The Japanese army rushed up, and the defenders fired a few shots and then retreated to the other side of the mountain, or simply went to another hill.
At this time, the howitzer of the 5 th Army played a role, shooting at the Japanese army in the mountains, and the Japanese army retreated in a panic. So the Japanese army organized troops to attack other hills, and still encountered the same situation.
In this way, the Japanese army was locked up and beaten around, and the Japanese army could not even tell who was the main force of the other side. This kind of battle has never been encountered by the Japanese army, and it is very confusing. He retreated after World War I, dragged on for a week, successfully completed the cover task and escaped.
Concluding remarks
In Hunan, when you see Guan, thank him immediately. This is the beginning of this article. The Japanese play is very old-fashioned, but they can win all the way. I remember that China was hit all the way to the southwest by the Japanese "one board with three eyes". Being able to seriously study Japanese tactics and find flaws to "do the opposite" will often achieve unexpected results, such as Xue Yue's "Heavenly Furnace Tactics".
In fact, Guan's style of play is very similar to the "sparrow war" in guerrilla warfare. His task is to complete the cover task, and delaying the enemy to the maximum and for the longest time is victory. The clever Guan successfully completed the task of covering, continued the bloody battle with the Japanese army in Hunan, and achieved the "Great Victory in Northern Hunan". It is admirable that Guan was only 34 years old when he was promoted to commander-in-chief of 15 Army.
