Taierzhuang, 27th Division, "Jedi Counterattack"

During the Battle of Taierzhuang in 1938, Huang Qiaosong led the 27th Division to repel Japanese attacks many times. After reinforcements on April 2, the Japanese counterattacked the 27th Division positions. The officers and soldiers of the 27th Division fought bravely and fought a fierce battle with the enemy. At 6 p.m., Huang qiaosong received intelligence that the enemy's combined arms, with about 3000 soldiers, attempted to cross the canal and occupy liangwangcheng, approaching the 27th division headquarters. when he moved the headquarters forward to taogou bridge in Hebei province, he sent cavalry company and spy company to guard all the key points near dongzhuang.

On April 3, a Japanese brigade and regiment with more than 6000 elite mixed arms, more than 50 chariots and 60 or 70 wild mountain heavy guns launched an attack on the 27th Division. The positions of Yuanshang, Mengzhuang, Pengcun, Shaozhuang, Taogou Bridge and other places were broken through. Although the weapons and equipment of the 27th Division were crude, their morale was high, and they met the enemy with white blades and fought desperately. "In the fierce battle until 4 o'clock in the morning, the Jiao Camp on our garden, the Tian Camp of Mengzhuang, the Wang Camp of Taogou Bridge, the Wang Camp of Peng Village and Shao Zhuang, all made heroic sacrifices in the positions, especially the Wang Jingshan battalion commander of the garrison of Peng Village and the officers and soldiers of the battalion and the fifth company were particularly tragic. When the strong enemy rushed into Peng Village with chariots, our battalion commander Wang Jingshan, that is, to supervise the battle with bare arms, inspired the song and told us that today was the last day for the battalion commander and all the officers and soldiers of the battalion to die in service and serve the country, only to kill the enemy, regardless of life. As soon as the enemy approached, he dropped the bomb and killed 12 of the enemy's men with a broadsword. The enemy hated his guts and was dismembered by the enemy's knife after his death. The tragedy of his sacrifice can really make him cry. The officers and soldiers of his subordinates, who witnessed the bravery and heroism of the battalion commander, fought desperately and fiercely. All of them were killed one after another, and none of them survived."

At the time when the enemy and us were locked in a saw, on April 6, Guan Lin's expedition department of the 52nd army of the 20th army and Wang Zhonglian's department of the 85th army approached Taierzhuang from the left and right wings, and the Japanese army had fallen into an encirclement. In order to cooperate with the reinforcements of the 20th Army, the officers and soldiers of the 27th Division launched a general attack on the enemy from the fork in the road and Liu Zhuang that night, regardless of the fatigue of many days of fighting. Huang Qiaosong selected one company from the 79th Brigade and the 80th Brigade to form an attack team. With white cloth wrapped around the head as the identification mark and three red signals as the attack signal, he launched an attack on the enemy in Jizhuang and Wangzhuang at 18:00. The enemy made a slight resistance and retreated hastily towards Yicheng. By 23:00, the attack team occupied villages such as Canglang Temple, Lizhuang and Taogou Bridge. Huang Qiaosong immediately commanded the large army to follow up and attack the enemies of Liu Qiao and Liu Jiahu. At 3: 00 a.m. on April 7, Huang qiaosong commanded the 27 normal university troops to pursue the victory and defeat the Japanese army in Liu Qiao and Liu Jiahu. After occupying the two places, the 27th Division continued to pursue the Japanese northward and beat the enemy back to Yi County before retreating.
