八路军平型关大捷与平型关战役的关系

Victory of Pingxingguan and the Pingxingguan Campaign

平型关战役是抗日战争时期中国军队于1937年9月下旬在晋东北地区抗击日本侵略军进攻的一场战役。国民政府领导下的多支部队守卫平型关正面,抵抗多日,付出巨大牺牲,迟滞了敌军的前进。在这场战役中,八路军第一一五师参加了一次在侧翼平型关外伏击日军一支辎重部队的战斗,作战仅仅一天(9月25日),但缴获甚丰,称"平型关大捷"。以往,对第一一五师这场战斗的战绩过分夸大的宣传,淹没了其他中国军队对平型关战役的贡献。弄清八路军平型关大捷与平型关战役的关系,非常必要。

The Pingxingguan Campaign against Japanese troops was launched by the Chinese army in late September 1937 in northeast Shanxi. In this campaign, troops led by the Nationalist Government defended the front of Pingxingguan for days and thwarted the enemy＇ s move,but at a considerable price. On 25 September, Division 115 of the Eighth Route Army joined an ambush outside Pingxinguan and made great victory. This is known as the historical ＂Victory of Pingxingguan＂. In various descriptions, the success of Division 115 has been overstated. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify relations between the Victory of Pingxingguan and the Pingxingguan Campaign so as to understand correctly the contribution of other Chinese troops in this campaign.
