Standing on the top of the mountain behind Dongwuling and looking out, the highway under the mountain that came into view was like a burning gunpowder dragon, which continued to burn for three days and three nights.

In the Battle of Dongwuling, the Japanese army suffered the largest heavy loss when it entered Zhongtiao Mountain, and the losses were immeasurable.

The commander of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army received information: General Dong of the Third Column of the Third Column who commanded a sneak attack and ambush of the Japanese transport convoy in Wangzhai Town and Xinjiahe and fired the first shot, not only was he ashamed and angry and determined to take revenge.

In order to arrest General Dong, the Japanese army even offered a heavy reward of 20,000 oceans to buy the head of Political Commissar Dong, and for a while, the Japanese puppet army, local security regiments, self-defense forces, and the puppet security chiefs who defected to the Japanese puppet army all secretly listened to the information of 20,000 oceans.

In order to retaliate against the Chinese troops who ambushed the imperial army's transport convoy on the front line of Dongwuling, the Japanese army put the brunt of the target on the decisive death of the three columns.

According to the order of the commander of the Japanese division, the commander of the Takeda Bing 1st Brigade of the 71st Independent Brigade, which was stationed in Quwo and Jicheng, ordered more than 1,000 Japanese troops of the 33rd Wing to quickly assemble on the front line of Dongwuling.

The commander of the 33rd Wing, Yuhe Chai Dazuo, ordered the troops to immediately launch a barbaric and cruel retaliatory bloody sweep of Xihe Village, Wangzhai Town, Guzhen Village, Xinjiahe, and Chenlianggou in the Dongwuling area.

A large number of devils armed with bayonet rifles, fully armed surrounded several villages, broke into the villages to carry out crazy and cruel burning and looting, killing people when they saw them, burning houses when they saw them, and even the cattle pens and stables did not let go, and carried out a massacre in a terrible manner.

More than 40 villagers in Xihe Village, who got the news in advance, escaped from the village and hid in the Caojiawa kiln on Xiyangpo, and were betrayed by the village's puppet security chief.

The frenzied devils pierced the collarbones of everyone who escaped from the tile kiln with bayonets, brutally strung them together one by one with iron wires, drove them to the hills south of the village, set up machine guns around the crowd and suddenly opened fire, killing more than 40 people, and no one was spared.

The Japanese army Cao Changyingshan took a class of little devils to search a broken cave, heard the low cry of the baby inside, rushed into the cave with the devil, and found that there were women and children, and they were forced to carry out inhumane humiliation with bayonets.

In the end, the frenzied Kageyama ordered the more than 20 people in the cave to be tied up with ropes and thrown inside, and then the cave was filled with firewood and straw, poured gasoline on the fire from the outside, and burned all the people inside.

There were several families in the village, like the villager Feng Jiuhe's family, who were brutally slaughtered by the Japanese in this sweep.

The 'Xihe Massacre' created by the Japanese army in Xihe Village brutally killed 248 unarmed villagers, burned down 51 houses, and killed and stole 36 livestock.

On the slopes, river beaches, mountains, and ditches where the Japanese army massacred Guzhen Village, Chenlianggou, Xinjiahe, Wangzhai Town, Xihe Village, and other villages, corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed like rivers, which was unbearable to see.

This time, the Japanese army launched a brutal and inhumane sweep of the villages around Dongwuling, with nearly 1,000 casualties in several villages, more than 1,700 houses burned, and everything that could be taken away from the villages was looted.

General Dong of the Third Column of the Decisive Death Column received a report from the scouts that in order to retaliate against the Third Column, the Japanese army ordered the headquarters of the Yuhechai Wing to immediately launch a frantic sweep of Shihe, Guzhen, Xinjiahe, and Wangzhai Towns on the first line of Dongwuling.

The Japanese troops quickly surrounded these villages, rushed into the villages and carried out inhumane burning, killing and looting, killing and injuring nearly 1,000 innocent people, burning houses, looting poultry and livestock, and making the people miserable. Flying

After receiving such appalling and cruel information, General Dong ordered the three columns to secretly drive to the area of Wangjiazhuang east of Dongwuling immediately to smash the Japanese army's crazy sweep.

At this time, Lei Yunfeng, who led the 54th Regiment to temporarily hide in the mountains 10 kilometers west of Dongwuling and secretly conduct intensive training for the troops, received information that the Japanese Yuhechai Wing had launched a brutal and inhumane sweep in the Shihe and Guzhen areas east of Dongwuling, causing heavy casualties among innocent people and the destruction of villages and the misery of the people's livelihoods, and he was extremely angry.

He didn't know why the Japanese army would suddenly venture into the east of Dongwuling to carry out a sweep after the convoy was devastated, almost completely annihilated, and its purpose was .......

At this moment, the director of communications, Han Nina, sent a freshly deciphered Japanese military message.

The telegram ordered the 108th Brigade of the 71st Brigade of the 33rd Division to expand the scope of the sweep, eliminate the Eighth Route Anti-Japanese Forces, and capture General Dong of the Third Column.

In order to rescue General Dong, Lei Yunfeng immediately issued an order, ordering the 54th Regiment to move quickly to the front line of Wangjiazhuang east of Dongwuling with the most secret action.

The battalions of the 54th Regiment received the order to immediately leave the training col with the battalion as a unit in accordance with the deployment of Lei Yunfeng, and march quickly and covertly to Baotou Village.

After more than five hours of forced march, the officers and men of the regiment arrived at a forest in the west of Baotou Village at half past eight in the evening.

Lei Yunfeng sent a reconnaissance platoon to infiltrate Baotou Village to investigate, regardless of whether reliable information can be detected or not, do not startle the snake, so as not to attract the attention of the local traitor forces.

The day before the 54th Regiment arrived at Baotou Village, General Dong led his troops to Wangjiazhuang, where they were received by the village and made arrangements.

Qin Yinmao, the captain of the traitor's secret investigation team, received information from Luo Xiqun, a member of the secret investigation team who worked as a long-term worker in the landlord's house in Wangjiazhuang Village, and immediately reported it to the Lucheng Japanese military police.

When the captain of the gendarmerie learned of this information, he immediately reported this information to the captain of the 33rd Wing.

Captain Yuhe Chai ordered the captain of the gendarmerie to immediately reply to Qin Yinmao, the captain of the secret reconnaissance team, and the reply clearly informed the Japanese army that they had sent troops to make a sneak attack, and told Luo Xiqun, who was waiting for the reply, to return secretly immediately.

Luo Xiqun handed the reply letter to Qin Yinmao, the captain of the traitor's secret investigation team, and the content of the reply was: The imperial army in the city is ready, and he ordered to send someone to organize the response, and the location of the response is located 500 meters outside Beixin Village to protect the grave, and the person who responds to the problem is tied with a white towel around his neck.

When night fell the next day, Qin Yinmao, the captain of the secret investigation team, Jiang Jiyin, the deputy captain, who had served as the puppet district chief, and Li Xuanzhen, the deputy captain bully, hid in advance in the tomb protection slope, and waited until the Japanese puppet army that responded to the sneak attack on Wangjiazhuang and killed General Dong of the third column.

The reconnaissance platoon sent by the 54th Regiment was divided into three squads to ambush the periphery of the three villages of Wangjiazhuang, Guojiazhuang, and Beishanhou, and disguised themselves as local villagers to strike up conversations with villagers entering and leaving the village.

After reconnaissance and investigation, we obtained the information that General Dong of the Third Column of the Decisive Death Column was arranged to work and rest in the Wangjia Temple of the Wangjiazhuang family, and immediately sent someone to report to Regiment Commander Lei, and the other three reconnaissance squads continued to stay behind to monitor.

Lei Yunfeng received the information from the reconnaissance report and ordered the deputy regiment commander Hou Sheng to lead the 13th battalion to approach Wangjiazhuang quickly and secretly after dark to prepare to block the enemy, so as to cover the evacuation of the three columns of decisive death living in the village.
