At about 3 o'clock on March 12, when Ono Tataro Osaku held an operational meeting, the 117th Brigade's operational meeting at Wangyingzi had just ended. At the meeting, it was decided that the remaining 1,500 men of the 233rd Regiment and the 1st Special Service Regiment would hide in the woods northeast of Shuiquanliang Village, seeking an opportunity to annihilate the advancing enemy; The remnants of the 234th Regiment numbered more than 1,300 people and hid in Tangjiashan, and if necessary, they sent out a section to attract devils to Houjiagou or Yinjiagou for annihilation; The 235th Regiment numbered 1,700 men and the Teaching Regiment hid in the woods between Lijiadian Village and Cangcangba Beam and Shuiquan Beam, waiting for ...... The 236th Regiment and some of its direct teams drove to the top of the Cangcang Dam beam to build fortifications......

Before the commander of the 233rd Regiment Miao had left the brigade headquarters, the deputy regiment commander Xie Zhanfang called and said that the devils were dissatisfied with the men and horses of a wing that encountered the resistance of the Red Gun Society at the mouth of the Dagou River, and then crossed the Dagou River and drove towards Wujia. Its forward devil is not satisfied with a squadron, and he is fierce and arrogant. Relying on the strength of the soldiers and the horses, he has sought revenge all the way here. However, he was also quite cautious, a little farther away from the rear team, so he stopped his horse and carried out reconnaissance on all sides.

After hearing the report, Brigade Commander Ding conveyed the actions of the Red Gun Society to everyone, and everyone was encouraged to resist the Japanese voluntarily when they heard that the Red Gun Society. Everyone thought of the Baiji team, Xiaomei's deeds, and Mr. Feng Jingwu, etc., all of whom proposed to Director Han and Brigade Commander Ding that they should eliminate Motegi to the east of Cangcang Dam Liang, and they were determined. Brigade Commander Ding ordered: "Commander Miao rushed back to Shuiquanliang quickly, and the commanders of the regiment studied the fighting methods according to the terrain and terrain. Try to beat one or a small number of devils at the lowest cost......

Commander Miao received the order, first bid farewell to the commanders, and the guide led the way back to the regiment from the woods path. Before he could rush back, Deputy Regiment Commander Xie Zhanfang and Chief of Staff Zhang Jingxi sent the commander of the 6th Battalion, Li Gui (Fang Xuanliang was killed), to take the enemy by surprise and sweep down 30 military horses and devils on the horses.

Zuo Saogi Shaosa knew that he had encountered the 117th Brigade, so he called Shimafu Maru Nakasa to report and ask for an order to attack. After instructing Ono Taro Osa, the Zuozuo Wood Squadron immediately handed over the horses to the horse squads, and they drove the horses to hide in the woods of the water spring ditch. Left left wood tended to attack in the direction of the 6th battalion. The machine gun squad opened the way in front and bullied the guns of the 6th battalion. They chased for a while, then retreated, and stopped chasing.

As soon as Deputy Xie Tuan saw that they were about to slip, he ordered Mao Suiyuan and Zhang Dawen to lead the 7th Battalion, and Ma Shuchang (Hong Guoren had been killed) and Qi Hannian to lead the 8th Battalion to attack from both sides. Four machine guns on the left side of the wood, swinging and sweeping. He also ordered the soldiers to dig trenches and make a stubborn defense. In order to prevent the devils from enveloping themselves with the reinforcement troops, Deputy Xie Tuan threw a few grenades and grenades, and withdrew to the south.

They turned to the south and ran for a while, ran out of the great woods of the sheep intestine river, and when they approached the root of the water spring, they stopped and rested. And send scouts to scout around. Someone said that you can learn to neigh, there are so many horses in the devil, if you call them, they will have no foot strength. If there is a shout, everyone will follow along. After calling for a long time, the military horse didn't call, and the devil just now heard it, so he chased after him and beat him. The two sides fought for a while, and each suffered damage.

Commander Miao rushed back to the regiment headquarters and reported that Deputy Xie Tuan and Chief of Staff Zhang led the main force on the south bank of the Yangguzi River and fought with the devils. Commander Miao glanced at the map, led the special service company and the guard company, and trotted to the southeast, inserting into the north of the Qingtianiso team and the valley enemy heather team sent by Sasaki. The two sides shouted and startled the devils. To the east and south are the 6th Battalion, 7th Battalion and 8th Battalion, and to the north are the guard company (company commander Zhang Wanshui) and the special service company (company commander Liu Songnian). The 8th and 7th battalions suddenly attacked from the south, and the devils also took two steps, and the Qingtianji squad rose up to meet the attack.

Before this side stopped, the 6th Battalion attacked again in the southeast, and the enemy Shi Nan squad was busy coping, and the machine gun shooter Mang Yuan put the crooked machine gun under a pile of dead wood and swept aimlessly. Gu enemy Shi Nan laughed, stretched out his thumb and praised him for "having a warrior". Ma Xiangchu, a soldier of the 1st Company of the 6th Battalion, saw the specific location from the empty tree, threw a grenade over, and with a bang, he blew up Mangyuan and the crooked handle into the sky. The special agent company in the north struck forward through the tree sky, and the enemy Shi Nan team fell to the ground one after another.

A staff officer reminded Commander Miao and asked him to listen carefully, and everyone listened attentively, it turned out that the devil communication soldier was in a dense forest, crying and calling to tell Squadron Leader Sasaki that they were surrounded. Sasaki Shaosa was also in a hurry, and ordered them: "Don't be in a hurry, stick to the place, reinforcements will arrive soon......"

Commander Miao ordered all battalions and companies to seize the opportunity and intensify their attacks, striving to eliminate these devils before it gets dark and completely seize their weapons. At the same time, scouts were sent to secretly reconnoiter north and east. The regiment headquarters received a call from Director Han again, ordering Commander Miao and other commanders to temporarily not completely eliminate the trapped devils, so as to attract most of the devils and seek revenge to save them. The brigade headquarters planned to send another unit to the encirclement point to send reinforcements......

Sasaki Shaosa has become worried about the siege of the two squads, and keeps calling Shimafu Marunakasa for help, scolding the 117th Brigade for being unkind and righteous, and his conscience is greatly broken, and he is attacking irregularly. Shimafu Maru asked Captain Ono to take the rest of the team to kill the big forest and rescue the two squads of Sasaki's squadron. Ono Taro Osa hurriedly asked Motegi Mae no Tsuki. Motegi said: "You dispatched nearly a brigade, in order to save the two squadrons, it is too much to lose......"

He went on to say: "The 117th Brigade is the best at encircling points to send reinforcements, and it is also their common tactic to divert the tiger from the mountain. Ono-kun, if you send Shimafu Maru Shaozo to the rescue, you must send another department along the avenue to attack Tang Yingzi and bluff; It's best to end the battle before dark, because the 117th Brigade is good at night raids and has ......"

After the meeting of the 117 Brigade Headquarters, the regiment commanders and direct team leaders were ordered to leave. Brigade Commander Ding Liuji and Deputy Brigade Commander Liuji sat at the headquarters and paid close attention to the movements of all sides. The director of the Korean Division used a telegraph to get in touch with Commander Sun and Deputy Commander Cha and asked for supplies. Brigade Commander Ding took Chief of Staff Zhang and a number of staff officers in the war room, as well as the commander of the teaching regiment Guang Liu, the head of the reconnaissance regiment Wang Guangdong, the commander of the guard battalion Mi Weide and many other commanders, and left Wang Yingzi to drill into the woods in the southwest and came to the top of the Cangcang Dam beam to check the terrain.

Although it was early spring and it was not yet dusk, it was also the coldest time of the day. Shuofeng was still a little sand and fleshy, and all the people copied their hands and followed Brigade Commander Ding around the tree sky to the intersection at the top of the Cangcang Dam. I saw that the intersection and the earthen beams on both sides had been dug into various trenches by the officers and soldiers of the 236th Regiment and other units, and some of the commanding heights had been cut down from tree branches and canopies to prevent devil planes from dropping bombs. Brigade Commander Ding walked into the trench and asked how to dig the trench. The officers and men did not know that he was Brigade Commander Ding, and their answers were very casual. When asked about the situation of the trenches at the commanding heights, he replied that they were fighting against the devils in Liaobei and Renan, and they had to defend themselves against devils in this way.

Many commanders personally helped the officers and soldiers carry soil and stones, and listened to their feelings about fighting devils. The officers and men of the 236th Regiment were very touched to know that they were all commanders of the headquarters. Wang Liang, a veteran, said: "We have never seen the brigade commander in the 16th Brigade personally go to the next front-line position...... and a recruit Zhang Zhiqiang said: "From the moment I joined this unit, I felt different......

Brigade Commander Ding led everyone to stand at the Cangcangba Liang Road Crossing to inspect the fortifications of each section below the intersection, and explained the key points of Regiment Commander Wang Guangdong's first-level defense. They looked east, east of Cangcang Dam Liang, Tangjia Mountain to Shuiquanliang, and the reckless and vast forest sea was already pregnant with a mysterious sea rage tide, ready to devour the invading devils.

Director Han received the news that Commander Sun was in Chahar to join the anti-Japanese alliance army advocated by General Feng Yuxiang, and due to Chiang Kai-shek's open and secret attacks, and also because of his own reasons, all kinds of progress was very difficult. In Beijing, Zhang Xueliang had already gone to the field and went to the sea, and the Kuomintang Beiping Military Branch exercised all its rights. The 8th Division of the Japanese Army and other units had already started a battle at Gubeikou, and Nanjing had no time to care about the life or death of the 117th Brigade. The baggage left by Commander Sun at the Siheyong Military Station has long been confiscated by the remnants of the 93rd Army of the Kuomintang stationed in the enclosure, and the personnel of the military station have been disbanded......

There is another piece of news that cannot be said for the time being, it was sent by Chen Jinghu, and the party Central Committee in Xingguo, Jiangxi, is very worried about this anti-Japanese force, and wants Han Linfu and all the Communist Party members and Communist Youth League members of the student corps to unite all the officers and men of the 117 Brigade to fight against the Japanese invaders and preserve their strength......

Before Brigade Commander Ding and the others returned, Director Han ordered Regiment Commander Miao not to destroy the besieged devils first, so that after the devils came to help, they would surround the point and send reinforcements. After Brigade Commander Ding and other commanders returned, they also thought that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime fighter. The brigade headquarters planned to send the 234th Regiment out of a section to move under Tangjia Mountain in concealment, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy who came to the rescue.

Liu Guoqing, the head of the 236th regiment, led a company under the Cangcang Dam beam at that time, and Zolmo gave the devil something evil. Chen Dahei thought about the landmine. He had heard that the devils in Shenyang had landmines. But this one was taken off the shelves in a hurry, and there was really nowhere to go to it. Later, I thought of digging a pit and digging a bigger one. While they were discussing, someone from the regimental headquarters reported that there were several people at the top of the beam and looking at the fortifications. He hit his horse and hurried back to Liangding, and Brigade Commander Ding and the others had already returned the same way. He chased him to the brigade headquarters again, and was running into the war room to study the matter of encirclement and reinforcements.

He automatically asked for help and said, "Brigade Commander Ding, Director Han, let's go to this job, you see that all regiments are in front, only our regiment is at the westernmost end." Of course, I, Liu Guoqing, do not have an opinion on the orders of the brigade headquarters, and it is also a sign of trust in us to deploy us at the top of the beam. It is a great honor for us to be so close to the headquarters by joining the unit later. That's what my men and I think, and I admire it. In the 16th Brigade, when did Brigade Commander Wang go to the front-line position? ”

He looked at the commanders and said, "I strongly ask to fight, if the commander thinks that we can't do it, let me produce a part and work with the 234th regiment, how about it?" ”

When Brigade Commander Ding heard this, he was happy, and said to Director Han: "Commander Liu's words have a door, so let's ......"
