"The flowers in May bloom all over the wilderness. The flowers cover the blood of the heroes. In order to save this declining nation, they once fought tenaciously without stopping the war..."

This is an anti-Japanese song brought to Zhongtiao Mountain by the Eighth Route Army propaganda team. It once floated in the ravines of Zhongtiao Mountain. Unfortunately, after Sun Weiru's Fourth Army was transferred to Gongyi, the Eighth Route Army propaganda team, the guerrillas, and the Sacrifice Alliance.

They were all driven out of the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and the soldiers and civilians on Zhongtiao Mountain could no longer hear this song.

The flowers in May are blooming in the gouchakan of Zhongtiao Mountain. Every flower is an unyielding life!

Zhongtiao Mountain is located in the southwest of Shanxi, on the north bank of the Yellow River. It lies like a shoulder pole between Taihang Mountain and Hua Mountain. It seems to carry the San Jin Mountain on one end and the San Qin on the other end, so it is named Zhongtiao Mountain.

Zhongtiao Mountain is in a northeast and southwest direction, high in the northeast and low in the southwest. It starts from the west of Shanxi Yongji and Shaanxi, ends at Jiyuan in northern Henan, Mengxian is connected with Taihang Mountain, and is located in the north by the Yuncheng Basin, which is known as the Shanxi granary, and falls thousands of miles southward.

The rolling Yellow River has a width of 170 kilometers and a depth of 50 kilometers. The highest peak is Shunwangping, Yuanqulishan, with an altitude of 2321 meters. The average altitude of the mountains is 1249 meters.

From the perspective of military strategy, Zhongtiao Mountain, Taihang, Luliang and Taiyue Mountains are mutually supportive, blocking the Yellow River, Luoyang and Tongguan. The importance of strategic position is self-evident.

After the Battle of Taiyuan, Wei Lihuang commanded the 14th Army to withdraw to southern Shanxi to set up defenses, the Jinsui Army to western Shanxi to set up defenses, and Fu Zuoyi, who was staying in Taiyuan, finally broke through and retreated to Suiyuan. Just as the Japanese army was intoxicated by the carnival of capturing Taiyuan.

At that time, Liu Yimin led his mentor to fight against Japan, set up an ambush in Qi County, and sang songs in one battle, and took a car, armored vehicles, and tanks to reinforce the main force of the Japanese Fifth Division in Qi County, and then took advantage of the victory to eliminate the Japanese Chahar

The dispatched troops attacked Taiyuan and stabilized the battlefield in Shanxi. Since then, the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack, and the instructors advanced eastward to attack Tianjin. The Japanese army regained control of Taiyuan. After several years of repeated fighting, the pattern of anti-Japanese war in Shanxi had been formed, and the Japanese army

It occupies the transportation line and major cities, the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the Shanxi Sui Army rely on each other and controls the vast rural areas of Shanxi.

The first Japanese army launched 13 attacks on Zhongtiao Mountain and also attacked the Yellow River in Pinglu County. However, under the resolute resistance of the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders, they had to withdraw their troops in the end. *Extreme Literature*

On June 6, 1939, Yang Hucheng and Sun Weiru's troops fought fiercely with the Japanese army that had broken through Zhongtiao Mountain in Pinglu to defend the Yellow River Ferry. Those troops surrounded by Japanese troops vowed not to surrender when they were out of ammunition and food.

He jumped into the rolling Yellow River with his hands. Dozens of female soldiers in the headquarters, like Lengwa, Shaanxi who jumped into the river, jumped into the Yellow River with his hands. Sadly, the defenders on the south bank of the Yellow River not only failed to rescue the river, but also set up their

Machine gun fires, and troops on the north bank of the Yellow River are not allowed to retreat to the Yellow River.

Those who later generations who sued for the development rights and ownership of the Yellow River mudflats and fought in a mess would probably not think that the two sides of the Yellow River were soaked with the blood of countless martyrs!

Before Chiang Kai-shek launched the ****, the situation on the battlefield in Shanxi was relatively good. Several large armies of our army cooperated with each other. Although the Japanese First Army organized sweeps many times, it still could not stop the continuous attack of the Chinese team. However, Chiang Kai-shek did it.

After ****, the situation changed. It turned out that the situation of the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suizhou Army, and the Eighth Route Army collaborating closely and killing the enemy side by side was gone. What was replaced by frictions, hatred and suspicion.

This provided the Japanese army with an opportunity to take advantage of.

After the autumn of 1940, the battlefield of Zhongtiao Mountain suddenly became quiet. The Japanese no longer attacked Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Japanese planes did not investigate and bomb. Chiang Kai-shek seized this gap and took Sun Weiru, who was suspected of communism, the fourth place.

The group army was transferred, and the artillery regiment was transferred along the way, under the command of the 14th Army of Wei Lihuang. Wei Lihuang, who was promoted to commander of the First War Zone and chairman of Henan Province, also left, sitting in Luoyang City and starting to control the remotely through the radio station.

Commanded.

The Japanese stopped fighting. The most fierce troops fighting with the Japanese were transferred away. The commander went to Luoyang. The ** stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain held his position for several consecutive years. He was tired of fighting. He couldn't help but not relax his vigilance.

.

The guards who relaxed their vigilance started doing business in order to solve the supply difficulties, and they did whatever they wanted. This brought about a situation that had never happened on the battlefield since ancient times: one-third of the soldiers guarded their positions and trained

One-third of the soldiers are doing business, and one-third are pushing stones, grinding noodles, cooking and washing clothes. The defenders are also competing with each other in business. When this regiment commander resells grain and makes a fortune, the regiment commander will learn immediately.

This battalion commander resells bullets, and the other battalion commanders want to sell them, but others can't sell them? There is a regiment commander or division commander who thinks that reselling grain and ammunition is slow to make money, so they start to resell opium. Other commanders, division commanders, can see the gourds.

Then, the Japanese and puppet spies were moved and disguised as vendors, running around on Zhongtiao Mountain, collecting intelligence and rushing over opium, and they were very busy

It’s ridiculous that Wei Lihuang is still intoxicated by singing like “The mountain is so high” and “the commander-in-chief of Wei is good”!

At this time, the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders were placing a long snake formation. The western front was from the north bank of the Yellow River, and the 17th Army of Zeng Wanzhong and Gao Guizi. The one responsible for the defense of the Northeast line was Liu Maoen's 14th Army, and the eastern front was 19th Army of Liu Maoen.

The 9th Army defends. This long snake formation is a common formation used by the Chinese team since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. It has no strategic depth, and the junction between the troops is the most easily broken.

He Yingqin held two meetings in Luoyang in three days. After the commanders of each army rushed back to the defense site, the only thing they could do was to stop doing business and deploy defense immediately. Unfortunately, the defenders of Zhongtiaoshan were already lazy and could not raise them.

I feel energetic, and the orders to go up the peak cannot attract the attention of all troops. Think about it, the Japanese army attacked 13 times and retreated 13 times. Not to mention that the Japanese may not necessarily attack Zhongtiao Mountain, he will attack

I'm afraid I have to go back obediently. In addition, the head coach General Wei Lihuang was studying behind closed doors on Mount Emei. Once He Yingqin left, no one could command these troops belonging to different systems, let alone supervising the implementation of He Yingqin.

Instructions for this.

A high-ranking official is a big-name official. He Yingqin is the chief of staff of the Central ** team. He just needs to be instructed and deployed. As for the specific combat command, it is the business of those small officials, and the fight is the soldiers.

thing.

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and being on the front line may not guarantee victory. What's more, He Yingqin left and Wei Lihuang is far away in Mount Emei?

At dusk on May 7, the Japanese army invaded Zhongtiao Mountain from the east, west and north sides "in a form of pincers and a central breakthrough".

The Japanese army, who knew the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, attacked fiercely at the junction of the defenders' units as soon as they came up. The Japanese planes were bombing in the sky, and the Japanese cannons were roaring on the ground. Zhongtiao Mountain suddenly

In crisis.

The most popular business of the Nakajoyama defender was Commander Zeng Wanzhong's Fifth Army, and the Japanese army was also most familiar with the defense line of the Fifth Army.

Zeng Wanzhong's Fifth Army Headquarters is located in Ma Village, south of Sijiao, Xia County. This is a village surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing water and with a dangerous terrain. The deep ditch near the water is called Chaijiagou, also known as Yanwang Gorge.

There is a gravel road along the stream in the canyon. On the cliff on one side of the canyon, Zeng Wanzhong built two heavy machine guns, sealed the pass, and covered the headquarters.

There are five divisions of the Fifth Army outside, and the headquarters has two companies of guards. The terrain of Macun is so dangerous. Logically speaking, it is difficult for the Japanese to fight here.

Zeng Wanzhong is a veteran of the Yunnan Army. He has participated in the Northern Expedition and looks smiling on weekdays. The people in Ma Village think he is friendly, not like the commander-in-chief of the group army, but like an old Shanxi servant.

It is because Zeng Wanzhong has a good temper and the military discipline of the Fifth Army is the worst among the Zhongtiaoshan defenders.

What Zeng Wanzhong didn't expect was that he thought the hidden and safe headquarters had already fallen into the eyes of the Japanese army. At this moment, a small special forces of the Japanese army had airdropped onto the Loushan behind Ma Village. It had been hidden for many days, just waiting.

Come to Zeng Wanzhong's headquarters!

As soon as the battle started, the Japanese bombs and shells fell to Macun. Zeng Wanzhong saw that the headquarters was exposed, and immediately ordered the transfer. As a result, the Japanese airborne troops who had long been hidden on the mountain behind Macun rushed down the ridge and destroyed it.

He covered the two heavy machine gun positions of the headquarters and began to hunt down the Fifth Army Command.

In this way, as soon as the battle began, Commander-in-Chief Zeng Wanzhong lost contact with the troops of the two armies and five divisions under his command. The guards of the two companies were killed and killed in the Japanese artillery fire and the pursuit of small airborne troops.

. In a short time, General Zeng Wanzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, hid in a valley called Langhuyu, whom he did not want to be hidden in a valley called Langhuyu, which was unwilling to be in Ma Village. After hiding for several days, Zeng Wanzhong, who was already fainting from hunger, was rescued by the people.

The local people killed a sheep, tied a raft with sheepskin, and sent the bare commander Zeng Wanzhong across the Yellow River.

The only meaningful thing Zeng Wanzhong did in the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan was to order the exemption of a silver dollar tax that the people needed to cross the river after crossing the Yellow River.

Zeng Wanzhong's Fifth Army Command was taken away by a trap but was a microcosm of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. In fact, just one hour after the battle started, the Japanese and puppet military spies hidden in Zhongtiao Mountain jumped out and gave them airplanes and cannons.

Instructed the bombing targets to detonate the arsenal. All the small troops that were airborne in advance all rushed out of the hidden point and rushed towards the military headquarters and division headquarters of the defenders.

In just one hour, the Japanese special attack operations were effective. The defending arsenals exploded one after another, and the division command centers were cut off one after another. The Zhongtiaoshan defenders were instantly in chaos.
