On the morning of March 4, 1933, the headquarters of the 117th Brigade.

Brigade Commander Ding, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji, Chief of Staff Zhang, Director Han and Section Chief Li and many other commanders of each regiment finalized a very tempting style for Motegi under the oil lamp of their fellow villagers. Finally, Director Han made a summary, and he said: "This fighting method proposed by Brigade Commander Ding is in line with Sun Tzu's Art of War to show form and the enemy...... It's a flexible style of play. In this battle, we can still avoid fighting the Japanese army, as long as we throw off Motegi and lead them into the ravine on the roof of the tomb, we can fly away to achieve the purpose of recuperating our energy. When we get to the front, if they catch up again, there is a more suitable battlefield, we will rest and fight them again. However, I also have to emphasize that all departments should pay more attention, and instruct the officers and soldiers to march and fight, not to hurt the things of the villagers, to return the borrowed goods, and to accompany them once they are damaged, and to express their gratitude to those who do not need to be accompanied......"

Located on the southeast river beach of Gudu River Village, the headquarters of the 4th Brigade of the Motegi Cavalry.

Motegi Mae Tsuki, after looking forward to it for a while, walked into the tent again. He waited for Ji Zhong Yu Zhongzuo to send back the news to see if the 117 Brigade ran to the front, but there was no news left and right, and the phone could not be reached. Just as he was waiting in a rage, Umei also entered the tent, and he said, "General, in my opinion, the 117th Brigade has not gone far...... Motegi snorted and asked heavily, "How can you see it?" If they don't leave, will they fight with us? They should have too many reasons to run away. ”

Umei said: "At the speed at which they walked, since we drove here last night, they have walked, and now they will only walk to the Huajiagou area." That's the case, Ji Zhongyu has already caught up with them at this time. So far, there is no news, but I haven't left, at least not this way...... Another possibility, I see them on this hill behind the village......"

As soon as Umei's words fell, he heard a burst of gunfire from the west. Motegi shook the phone for a while, but still couldn't get through, so he sent someone to ride a fast horse to investigate. He also stood outside, pricking up his ears to listen, and he judged that it was mostly the sound of Czech machine guns...... Motegi stepped into the tent and said to Umei: "Umei-kun, your judgment is wrong, the 117th Brigade has fled to the west, and maybe it has set up an ambush at Huajiagou Gate. When you come out and listen, you can't hear the guns of the Imperial Army, but their guns go up and down......"

Motegi came to the telephone and hurriedly called Koseiichiro of the 19th Wing, he said with great confidence: "Koseiichiro Osa, quickly, lead your subordinates to Huajiagou Gate, you must bite the 117th Brigade, you can't let him run this time......" Koseiichiro Ozuo accepted the order, ordered all the remaining men and horses, waded through the Gudu River, went to Chiwei Avenue, and urged the mount to kill westward, and the Shouxi Artillery Squadron dragged four 92 infantry guns to chase closely, and the dust raised was like a whirlwind. After the sun came out, Ichiro Furui led the men and horses to the Huajiagou Gate. Through the traces of the road, he judged that Yoshinaka Tamakasa must have been fighting with the defenders in the north in Huajiagou.

He then ordered the communications corps to turn on the antenna and start dialing the phone, which rang for a while and then went silent. Judging from this, Yoshinaka Yuzhongsa is far away in the birch ditch or on the mountain. Koseiichiro called Motegi, reported the situation there, and asked if he would drive in to join the pursuit of the defenders. Motegi said: "Baga, there are thousands of people in the 117th Brigade, no matter how spacious Huajiagou is, it is impossible to drive it all there. You have a ...... in your place, investigate on the spot and then make a calculation."

As soon as Koseiichiro put down the phone, he heard the sound of gunfire again in the ditch, including the sound of Czech rifles, the sound of 38 big covers, and the sound of loud muskets. Furu Ichiro said in his heart that Yoshinaka Tama was fighting inside, and he had to send troops in and block the 117 Brigade inside, and see what General Motegi had to say. He ordered the Fukushima Leng First Brigade to be in front, and the Kuroya Shochu Brigade to be behind, and led his subordinate team to drive to the ditch in the center. After walking for a mile, it was still far away, and he decided to let the Kurotani Central Brigade leave two squadrons to garrison outside, and the rest accelerated inward.

Motegi Mae Tsuki put down Koseiichiro's phone, walked inside and outside the tent, and the guards served him food, but he had no appetite. Umei and the staff officers came to persuade him, and he ate some. Before he could put down the dishes and chopsticks, a soldier came in to report and said, "Report to the chief, there are traces on the dirt road east of this village that show that the 117th Brigade is likely to hide in Beishan." After hearing this, Motegi's heart brightened up a little, and he finally found some clues. He immediately ordered a meeting of senior officials such as Kiyoshi Yamaoka, Taro Ono, and Tataro Onibe, and ordered his staff officers to prepare a battle plan for an attack on Kitayama.

The meeting quickly decided that Ono Tataro would wait here, because his troops had been dispersed, the Shimafu Maru Brigade was in the Yuanbaoshan mining area, and the Kuroda Brigade was stationed in Akamine Castle, and only the Koya Brigade and his direct team were under his command. Yamaoka Jie led the 17th Wing to cross the Gudu River, cross the Chiwei Avenue, and drive from the east end of the village to the North Mountain. Oni Beta Taro Osa ordered the artillery to mount sixteen 70mm cannons on the south bank of the river, and two 120mm cannons were also being transported there.

The 17th Wing, with the exception of the artillery squadron and part of the logistics unit, drove up the northern hill in a steady stream. Yamaoka Jie went up this time, but he was shocked. They had not yet reached the top of the back beam, and they saw from a distance that there was a loess mound on the north side of the tomb roof beam, and then the tomb roof beam had to pass through those mounds. He also thought that the mound was a bunker built by the defenders, and he quickly ordered the brigades to stop their tracks. The chief of staff, Feiqu Bala Zhongzuo, reminded him to observe it with a telescope, and he just remembered, patted his chest to relieve the pressure, and said in his mouth: "Roar." "Lift up the binoculars and look up.

Kimura Ichiro Nakasa, Pentium Nakasa, and Dog Bear Tanashita Nakasa all raised their binoculars to observe, and the clever soldiers all lay down and aimed in case of accidents. The telescope showed that they were all ancient earthen walls. Yamaoka Jie wore white gloves, raised his left hand and waved forward, and said: "There is no ambush, kill the chicken and give it to the ......" He turned back to Feiqu Bala Zhongzuo and said: "The 117th Brigade may be frightened, if you ambush a group of men and horses here, it will be difficult for the imperial army to attack it......"

Brigade Commander Ding left Heilongtan Village with the main force, and went west directly to the north beam of Guduhe Village, and the special service battalion and reconnaissance battalion followed the route taken by the 17th Devil Wing, and also went to Beiliang before dawn. At that time, they had crossed the earthen wall, and before they had fully joined the main force, they all felt that something was wrong. Going up to the top of the beam and further north, there are several ravines that are not very wide. These ravines are like dragons entrenched on the top of a high mountain. No matter which ravine you enter, you lose your energy and sense of direction.
