When Xiao Zhenying, the commander of the first war zone of the Military Commission of the National Government and the general staff of the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, learned about it, he immediately put forward the anti-Japanese war volunteers to the Central Committee on behalf of the 29th Army stationed in Yangquan, Shanxi. "Family enmity and national hatred, take the lead today, win is successful, and if you die, please ask the 29 th Army to be the striker." Immediately, he was ordered to lead his troops to Pingtung to take charge of Wan Fulin's department of the Northeast Army, which was "demoralized and unbearable to fight again".
Xiao zhenying
History has pushed 29 army to the forefront of resisting Japanese invaders, and started the famous Great Wall War against Japan in China history and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
During 29 army's move to Pingtung, Zhang Xueliang held several meetings of the main military generals ahead to discuss the defense of the Great Wall Line. At the meeting, many generals lacked confidence in xifengkou's chances of winning the battle against the enemy. Xiao Zhenying stood up and said, "Where xifengkou can fight, our army will fight to death." . It can be said that Xiao Zhenying took the decisive first step at the critical moment when our army was able to win xifengkou and defeat the enemy one after another forever.
On March 9th, 29 army arrived near xifengkou in the northeast of Zunhua 1 10. Due to the unfavorable garrison of friendly troops, the Japanese Suzuki Division has taken control of xifengkou. On March 10, Zhao Brigade, Brigade and Tongze Light Brigade of the 37th Division of 29 army launched a fierce battle. Zhao Dengyu personally went into battle, commanded the soldiers to kill the enemy heroically and fought hand-to-hand with the enemy. The battlements of the Great Wall were recovered more than 20 times. The Japanese aggressors mobilized more than 5000 people and a large number of heavy artillery. The plane bombed for three hours and the position was in flames. Then the Japanese invaders swarmed in. When the ammunition ran out, Zhao led his troops to hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. He cut dozens of Japanese soldiers in one breath and injured his left leg. The guards hurriedly undressed and bandaged him, but he refused. He still fought fiercely until dark, and the Japanese didn't get an inch of land.
However, the 29th Army also suffered heavy losses and Ye Zhao was seriously injured due to the fierce Japanese artillery fire. At the height of the fighting in xifengkou, Xiao Zhenying personally went to the front to direct the fighting, encouraged officers and men to serve the country faithfully and vowed to resist foreign aggression. "Today, we are completely annihilated and there is no negative national dependence." On the evening of March 1 1, Xiao Zhenying held a meeting of all front-line generals and decided to adopt the strategy of Chair Zhao's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, launch a night attack and subdue the Japanese army with a broadsword. On March 1 1 Day and night, under the guidance of local people, 29 army athletes attacked the Japanese army at night with broadswords and light weapons, which suddenly disrupted the enemy's fire distribution. The broadsword team rushed into the enemy camp, hacked to death a large number of Japanese troops, and retaken xifengkou's position.
1March 933 1 1 Day and night, the 29th Army launched an attack on the enemy flank of xifengkou.

On March 16, the Japanese army turned to attack the wing, west of xifengkou. Under the command of Liu Ruming, the Second Division of the 29th Army, with the support of the ministries of the 37th and 38th Divisions, stubbornly resisted the Japanese attack, and the situation was extremely fierce. Mr. Liu Ruming learned the lessons of our army in defeating the enemy in xifengkou and gave full play to our army's flexibility in melee. He sent troops around the flank and killed Shaozuo Shimamura, more than 65,438 junior officers and more than 0/000 Japanese troops/KLOC. By the morning of 19, "within the north wing 10 km, we were invincible" and won the defensive battle in the wing.
The victory of xifengkou and Yong is a rare victory of China army since the September 18th Incident. 29 army in the Great Wall War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression "praised the painting, surprised, defeated the enemy. If you don't get it, you will be brave, and North China will rely on it for temporary security. " It not only wiped out a large number of effective forces of the Japanese army, but also greatly inspired the confidence of the people throughout the country in the war of resistance. Four years later, a broadsword March was born, with the subtitle "Dedicated to the 29 th Army Broadsword Team" and the last sentence of the song "The broadsword cuts off the head of the devil, kill!" , but also become an eternal classic.
