Classic Battles

"We look back on war because we cherish peace." This is the famous host in June 2004, when "Classic of Hundred Wars" was launched on the seventh military program of CCTV Chen Duo The teacher's opening words. From then on, a new military program came into people's lives. So far, every week, this most vivid and accurate expression of the main idea of the language has been repeated more than three hundred times. Nowadays, China Youth Publishing House And put it in front of people in the form of words. We are proud that the Chinese nation, with a civilization history of 5,000 years, is good at quoting classics to communicate ancient and modern times, clarify facts and reveal life. If what you see can still be called results, it is due to our nation's cultural tradition of diligent thinking and always bearing the responsibility of human mission.

We are fortunate that "Hundred Wars Classic" has a stable audience as soon as it is launched, and the burning eyes are both on the screen and always grilling our backs. Especially thanks to China Youth Publishing House With a unique eye for television, they turn the regret of "fleeting" television into a treasure that can be easily acquired. We are worried that in the vast war history, the 24 classic battle examples of "commemorating the 60th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War" are difficult to accurately express the war that brought great disasters to mankind and awakened common conscience and boundless spirit. As creators, we cannot accurately, profoundly and comprehensively express the social mind, which often makes us uneasy. We regret that the Classic of Hundred Wars is still far from the original intention of "analyzing the causes of war, looking into the depth of war, interpreting behind war, and paying attention to the impact of war". As it passes across the screen and settles into the flat media, imperfections that would otherwise be imperceptible are magnified and exposed. Therefore, we apologize deeply and believe that it will inspire us to do a good job in the sequel and next year's "commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army Long March" series of classic battle examples. A writer once wrote that the greatest sorrow of a soldier is to be hit by the last bullet on the battlefield. We often think that if the bullet must penetrate a flesh, this is not a soldier's glory. It is the duty of a soldier to keep his fellow citizens, brothers and sisters, close friends and relatives, and even the whole human race, away from war forever. Let mankind thank n war, and treat the danger of war rationally, is the responsibility of these soldiers who hold the pen shoulder "gun" (camera). We're looking forward to the last bullet. Is the order.

In order to avoid a two-front war, on August 23, 1939, Germany urgently signed a treaty with the Soviet Union. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact ", Hitler To the German foreign minister who went to Moscow to sign the treaty Ribbentrop He said, "Whatever the Russians want, we'll give them, and we'll get back everything we've lost in the treaty." In this way, Germany and the Soviet Union concluded a secret protocol outside the Non-Aggression Pact to the detriment of Polish interests. Immediately after the treaty was signed, Hitler ordered an attack on Poland at 4:30 on August 26. However, on the night of August 25, the German army, which had advanced, was suddenly called back. The Polish government, which is pursuing a pro-British policy, signed a mutual assistance agreement with Britain on November 25. And Italy Mussolini The government, for various reasons, refused to side with Germany and join the war against Poland. So Ribbentrop suggested Hitler Withdraw the attack order and reassess the situation. However, Hitler, who had once retracted his order to attack, had made up his mind to stick to the war of aggression against Poland at the risk of a great war with Britain and France, and now for Hitler, the war demon, there was only a lack of an excuse for waging war. The Glewitz affair "Bringing war to the brink.

After the Glewitz incident, the innocent-looking Polish government issued a statement explaining that it had nothing to do with the incident. On the one hand, emergency consultations with Western powers such as the United Kingdom were held to discuss emergency plans. Although Poland is aware Serious situation But in any case they did not think that the Germans had left them no time to prepare for battle. Right before" The Glewitz affair The next day, the greatest war in human history began in Poland. At 4:45 on September 1, 1939, Luftwaffe The bombers roared toward Poland. A few minutes later, a sudden and devastating blow from the air, unprecedented in human history, began. The German air force attacked frantically Polish Air Force At 21 airfields, hundreds of Polish planes were blown up on the runways before they could take off. At the same time, German bombers in the form of intensive assault, air attacks on Poland's central cities, railway arteries, communication hubs, power stations, Bridges and command structures, paralyzing the entire Polish territory. German navy And not behind. A few days before the outbreak of the war, German warships visiting the port of Danzig under the banner of friendship also tore off the camouflage of a "friendly visit" and suddenly headed towards Poland Naval base Artillery was fired and the Polish sea lanes were blocked. while German army From both north and south, a massive" Blitz warfare ". In this mechanized march, the Germans advanced into the Polish hinterland at a rate of 50 to 60 kilometers per day. German south Army Group in Rundstedt Under the command of the soldiers divided into three, to Vistula Make a midstream advance; German army Army Group North Under the command of Bauke, the soldiers were divided into two directions, one to the east." Polish corridor And from East Prussia Go straight south Warsaw rear Bug .

"Classic Wars" will also show people a way to review the history of human war in its own unique way, carry out a new and personalized review and interpretation of the war classics, and dedicate a boutique TV program for the general audience.

Therefore, in the Chinese theater, the political decoy activities against the Kuomintang government were intensified, and at the same time, the main forces continued to attack the anti-Japanese base areas, especially in North China, and the 1940 "Plan for the construction of the upright" and the "railway as the pillar, the road as the chain and the pillbox as the lock" were intensified.

In the North China traffic line, Ortho-pacific railway Occupies a very important position, it crosses Taihang Mountains It is a link between Pinghan and Tongpu railways, and is one of the important strategic transport lines for the Japanese army in North China. The Eighth Route Army's offensive campaign was first launched on the Zhengtai Railway, so it began to be called Battle of Zhengtai . On 22 July, Commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army Zhu De Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai and Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan issued the "Battle Preparation Order", which stipulated that no less than 22 regiments would be used to break the Zhengtai Railway in a large scale. At the same time, it is required to deploy appropriate troops to carry out extensive destruction of Tongpu, Pinghan, Jinpu, Beining, Deshi and other railways, as well as some major highways in North China, in order to cooperate with the Zhengtai Railway. On August 8, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, and Zuo Quan issued the "Campaign Action Order", which stipulated: Shanxi Chaji Military Region Destroyed Zhengtai railway Shijiazhuang to Yangquan (excluding) paragraph; The 129th Division was destroyed Ortho-pacific railway Yangquan (inclusive) to Yuci Paragraph; The 120th Division was destroyed Xin County North of the Tongpu railway and Fen (Yang) from (Shi) road, and placed in heavy troops Yang Qu North and South, block Japanese reinforcements to the Zhengtai Railway.

According to the original regulations of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the participating force was not less than 22 regiments. However, after the launch of the campaign, because the majority of the Eighth Route Army commanders and combatants and the people in the anti-Japanese base area hated the Japanese Army. Cage policy The enthusiasm to participate in the war was very high, so the ministries invested a large number of troops, meter Shanxi Chaji Military Region 39 regiments, No 129th Division (including the first and third columns of the Death Squad, etc.) 46 regiments 120th Division (including the 2nd and 4th columns of the Death Squad) 20 regiments, totaling more than 200,000 people in 105 regiments, and many local guerrillas and militias participated in the battle. When Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan listened to the report of the battle in the war room of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and learned that the actual combat force reached 105 regiments, Zuo Quan said excitedly: "Good! This is Great Battle of a hundred regiments " Peng Dehuai said, "No matter how many regiments there are, we can simply call this battle the Great War of a hundred regiments!"
