During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, mechanization was seriously behind the Japanese invaders' invading troops. Almost all Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers were lightly in battle, because only in this way could they defeat the Japanese invaders' mechanized troops with two legs. Therefore, except for weapons and ammunition, necessary marching rations and quilts, the anti-Japanese soldiers would hardly carry any other unnecessary equipment.
However, the Guangxi War General Ling Yixi insisted on taking the ordinary path and required all soldiers to carry a high stool during the emergency marching. Obviously, the half-man-high high stool is seriously inconsistent with the strategic requirements of lightweight and marching. However, in the face of the soldiers' doubts, Ling Yixi pointed out that the function of the high stool was not to rest, but to kill the enemy.
Kill the enemy? If you can barely say that it is for to fight by hand, then it would be a bit weird to use a bench to charge and smash people. Since that's the case, why did the general of Guangxi insist on requiring soldiers to carry high stools, and how should he use high stools to kill the enemy?
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the cleverness of Guangxi General Ling Jixi. Born in a poor area of Guangxi, Ling Yixi was originally a "older student" from a local school. Later, he became a monk and entered the army model camp of the Guangxi Army. After professional military education, Ling Yixi followed the Gui army to Hunan and other places to guard.
From the original warrant officer , Lingyuxi struggled and promoted to the captain of the Kuomintang army. After the July 7 Incident , Ling Yixi hurriedly left the Nanning Military Senior Squad and led his troops to participate in the Battle of Shanghai as the brigade commander. It was also this Battle of Shanghai that allowed Ling Jixi to fight head-on with the Japanese invaders for the first time.
During the Battle of Shanghai, Ling Yixi witnessed the high mobility of the Japanese mechanized troops. No anti-Japanese war soldiers, including the national army, have the mobile power that can match the Japanese mechanized troops. Such a practical gap made Ling Jixi ruthless.
In order to allow the new recruits who join the army to keep up with the high turnover and urgent marches, Lingjixi strengthened military training and urged his soldiers to keep going back and forth on the hillside every day. He also asked soldiers to wear sandbags and other heavy objects to leaps through the trenches, and asked soldiers to run through the Japanese mechanized troops with two legs.
At the same time, Ling Yixi, who had experienced the Battle of Shanghai, finally figured out the tactics of dealing with the Japanese mechanized troops, and at the same time, it could also target the attack on the Japanese army. This targeted tactic is to dig deep trenches in front of the position. Ling Yixi clearly knew that the average height of the Japanese invaders was lower than that of Gui Jun .
Therefore, Lingjixi requires soldiers to practice digging trenches hard, requiring the trenches to maintain a width of more than two meters, and at the same time the depth is more than 2 meters, and at the same time, the two sides must be as vertical and smooth as possible. When not fighting, soldiers can walk freely in the trenches without worrying about being discovered by the Japanese invaders.
And when it comes to the battle, Guangxi high stool comes in handy. The barefoot was trampled by the soldiers, and at the same time, the weapons were extended out of the trenches and pulled the trigger on the charge Japanese invaders. When the Japanese invaders approached, the soldiers quickly pulled out the bench and then evacuated from the reserved gentle slope.
The Japanese invaders who were unknown were jumping into the trenches directly and found that the trenches of the Lingji Western Army were different from other war zones, and they could not climb out quickly at all at a height of more than 2.5 meters. At the same time, the soldiers of the Lingji Western Army once again used the bench to poke out from the rear trenches, threw the grenade into the trenches where the Japanese invaders were located, and directly killed a large number of Japanese invaders.
At the same time, the trench with a width of more than two meters also made the Japanese chariot unable to advance, because if you accidentally fall into the trench and become a living target for the soldiers. Through such bench warriors, the Lingji Western Force effectively resisted the Japanese mechanized troops in the battle.
