The Great Victory at Pingxing Pass

The Battle of Pingxingguan achieved a comprehensive victory with the close cooperation and bravery of all regiments of the 115th Division and 343rd Brigade. With crude weapons and the strength of two battalions, the Independent Regiment defeated nearly a well-equipped regiment of Japanese invaders. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, they created a miracle of defeating more with less. It was the first time the Eighth Route Army concentrated a large force to conduct a successful ambush against the Japanese. Internationally, the Pingxingguan victory inspired patriotic overseas Chinese in Southeast Asian countries to donate money and materials to support the motherland's war of resistance. The arrogant Japanese invaders had to adjust their deployment and adopt a roundabout attack strategy, thus slowing down the speed of military offensive.

The Pingxingguan victory was the first battle in which China achieved a perfect victory during the Anti-Japanese War. This battle inspired the confidence and courage of the Chinese people. At this time, we understood that independent mountain guerrilla warfare was the best way for Chinese soldiers to defeat Japanese soldiers, and the most correct combat method. In a context where the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only understand the characteristics and terrain of our own country and rely on the terrain to disrupt the Japanese plan, rather than rely on frontal combat and head-on confrontation.

As a historical documentary, the most important thing is to respect history and restore history. This book undoubtedly achieves this. This work mainly takes the Pingxingguan Victory as the main narrative object. On the premise of fully respecting the historical facts, it carries out a corresponding artistic reproduction, achieving both historical and artistic qualities. In addition, a major feature of this book is that the description of specific wars is all-round and multi-level. It not only describes the foresight of war decision-makers, but also the unique vision of military strategists. It not only describes the determination of commanders to dare to fight, but also details the specific mentality of ordinary soldiers before the war. It is very readable.

This is a historical book about an important battle in China's Anti-Japanese War. The book describes in detail the process, strategy and background of the Battle of Pingxingguan, as well as the heroic performance of the military generals and soldiers who participated in the battle.

By reading this book, readers can have a deeper understanding of the historical significance and heroic deeds of China's Anti-Japanese War.

The peace we have now was bought by our ancestors at the cost of blood and tears. Only by remembering war can we prevent war. The 686th Regiment, led by its leader Li Tianyou, set up an ambush in the mountains on the south side of the canyon from the east of Laoye Temple to Xiaozhai Village, dividing and annihilating the enemies who entered Qiaogou. This was the most intense battlefield in the Pingxingguan victory. After more than two hours of fierce fighting, the Laoye Temple was finally recaptured. All 3 platoons of the 11th company died heroically, and no one was spared. The book records the cruelty of war and also makes us cherish the peace we have now.

Authentic, the details are clearly restored to the time.

I really like World War II novels, they are very beautiful.
