The two Huaiyan Police Regiments, which were originally only for anti-smuggling and theft, were able to burst out with an iron will at a time when the nation was in danger.

This time, Xiangban Tijiro ordered the marines to go all out to take Lianyungang, and it took less than half an hour to capture the Sunjiashan position, which can be described as a smooth sail. Unexpectedly, when they advanced to the east and west after landing on the shore, they were blocked by the defenders and could not advance, so they could only storm Yafu Mountain, but they were also repelled by the second squadron under the command of Li Hao of the first brigade. By the next day, the battle was tepid, the Japanese did not organize a strong attack, and the defenders, with the help of the common people, held their positions. But on the third day, the Japanese army attacking Yafu Mountain seemed to have changed a group of people.

Early this morning, just like yesterday, the Japanese army began to attack at dawn, and even launched a frenzied attack: planes, artillery, and mortars took turns to fight, and even before the artillery stopped, the Japanese army had already begun to charge. In the opinion of the squadron leader Tian Youzuo, this is a very rare situation, and it seems that the devil is bound to win the position of Yafu Mountain, and this will be a very tragic battle. So, Tian Youzuo ordered the soldiers to hold their positions and fight hard.

Although the Japanese soldiers were fiercely blocked by the defenders, they were completely different from what they had seen yesterday, and they did not show any sign of retreating at all, but braved the rain of bullets and bullets of the defenders, advanced with cross-fire cover, and gradually attacked forward, approaching the defenders' positions.

"These Japanese are crazy!" Tian Youzuo thought to himself.

In fact, the Japanese were not crazy, but a little anxious: just last night, Otjiro Townsan received a report that the Imperial Alliance Army in the north had been completely defeated by two regiments of the 112th Division.

It turned out that the 667th Regiment and the 668th Regiment took advantage of the bandits' eagerness to win, and under the unified command of Wan Yi, the commander of the 667th Regiment, they set up a "figure eight" formation. At night, the two regiments launched a surprise attack on the remnants of the bandits, completely crushing the bandits, killing them, wounding them, and surrendering, and only a very small number of the remnants of the bandits jumped into the boat and fled into the sea.

After receiving the report of the defeat of the Imperial Concord Army, he ordered Kubo Miyichi to "take the Yamaiyama position before noon at all costs", otherwise once the two regiments of the 112th Division returned to defense, they would not even be able to gain a firm foothold on the shore. Xiangban believed that the two regiments of the Nationalist Army were currently nearly 50 kilometers away from Lianyungang, and that they would not be able to arrive until at least in the afternoon, and that they would be able to stabilize the situation by taking Yaqi Mountain before noon. Therefore, starting early this morning, the Japanese army swooped down on Yashou Mountain like crazy.

After the 667th and 668th regiments annihilated the bandit army at night, Wan Yi and Cui Xizhang received an order from the division commander Huo Shouyi, asking them to return to Lianyungang immediately. Subsequently, the two immediately got together to discuss specific matters.

Cui Xizhang, commander of the 668th Regiment, first said: "We have to rush back to support the port as soon as possible, the Eighth Army was originally organized by the Salt Police Regiment, and I think those soldiers are not good at fighting, and I am afraid that they will not be defeated for long." ”

Wan Yi said: "Yes, you have to return to defense as soon as possible." However, he looked at the dozen mortars, rifle machine guns and other weapons discarded by the bandits in front of him, and continued: "It's a pity that these good treasures in front of us have been thrown away, we can't do without them!" Commander Cui, do you think this will work, the battle here has just ended, your 668th Regiment will clean up the battlefield first, take away everything that can be taken away, I will lead the 667th Regiment to advance lightly and quickly return to Lianyungang. ”

After the two regiment commanders finished discussing, Wan Yi took the soldiers of the 667th Regiment and marched in a hurry overnight in the direction of Lianyungang.

In front of the Yafu Mountain position, the Japanese army was gaining momentum, fighting more and more fiercely, and it seemed that they were about to rush to the defenders' position. At this time, I saw a medium-sized soldier standing out of the trench, shouting: "Old brothers of the Salt Police Corps, we fought the Songhu battlefield last year, and this breath has been held in our hearts, today can be regarded as an opportunity to catch this evil breath, and I am not afraid of death to go up with me and throw grenades!" ”

After that, a group of soldiers jumped out of the trenches, these are the soldiers of the Salt Police Corps who were defeated and retreated on the Songhu battlefield, they fought really hard that time, many people were ordered to retreat before they even fired a shot, this time they must take this bad breath. So a group of soldiers who jumped out carried bundles of grenades, regardless of the danger, rushed forward while half-crouching, and threw grenades into the Japanese ranks.

The battle was so fierce that even Zeng Xiqi and Li Shijun personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. Zeng Xiqi told the soldiers that the 667th Regiment of the 112th Division was on the way back to defense, and it would soon be able to reach Yafu Mountain, and let the soldiers hold their positions. Subsequently, he ordered Li Hao to lead the third squadron into battle. Even so, the Japanese showed no signs of retreating, and slowly advanced to the front of the defenders' positions with the tactics of steady and steady and step-by-step.

"Someone, escort Commander Zeng and Captain Li away. Brethren, get on the bayonet! The situation was extremely urgent, Li Hao shouted to everyone.

While leading the officers and men of the 2nd Squadron and the 3rd Squadron to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, the captain Li Hao sent someone to inform the 1st Squadron that was resting and preparing to come to reinforcements.

Although the defenders were brave and fearless, they still had a clear advantage in fighting the Japanese with bayonets. Although the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, Li Hao's first brigade suffered even heavier losses, and the soldiers fell one after another, while the Japanese at the foot of the mountain continued to charge upward, seeing that the position of Yafu Mountain was about to be lost.

At this critical moment, the warring parties suddenly heard the military horn sounding on the west side of Yafu Mountain, and the military flag of the 667th Regiment was flying high.

When the Japanese saw that the 112th Division had arrived at the defense, they instantly lost their fighting spirit, and Wan Yi's 667th Regiment had the strongest combat effectiveness among the entire 112th Division - even in the 57th Army, its combat effectiveness was second to none.

Wan Yi led a battalion to support Li Hao's first brigade to fight bayonets with the enemy's forward, and at the same time organized firepower to shoot at the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army, and defeated the Japanese army attacking Yahu Mountain and fled and completely retreated down the mountain. Then, after the second and third battalions were all in place, the 667th Regiment recaptured all the Sunjiashan positions lost by the Eighth Army the day before yesterday, and completely drove the Japanese troops in the port area into the sea, so that the Japanese army did not dare to attack again for a while.

Xiangbantijiro did not expect the 667th Regiment to arrive at the battlefield so quickly, and he was a little overwhelmed, and he did not dare to rashly organize an attack for a while, so he ordered the soldiers who retreated to the sea to rest first, and ordered the Japanese troops who landed on the north side of Huangwo and were stationed on Qitai Mountain to prepare for defense and wait for further instructions.

After the 667th and 668th regiments were all back to defense, Zeng Xiqi ordered the Eighth Army to withdraw from its position and rest behind Yuntai Mountain, and temporarily handed over all the front-line defense in the port area to the 112th Division. Several corps of the 112th Division were also busy with the matter of receiving and deploying defenses, so they did not rush to attack the Japanese troops still on the shore in the area of Qitai Mountain.

In this way, the two armies maintained a standoff period of about ten days without attacking.

The Eighth Guerrilla Army has just been reorganized for less than a year, and it is really commendable for such a unit, which was originally armed with tax police, to achieve such great results in the face of the powerful Japanese army. In this battle at Yaqi Mountain, Zeng Xiqi's Eighth Army suffered heavy losses, and after withdrawing from the defensive line, it rested behind Yuntai Mountain. The news of this victory also quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the port city, and the people went out to celebrate, even some local tyrants, landlords, and squires in Haizhou, Xinpu, and even the East China Sea also contributed money and efforts to condole.

Zhu Guanglian naturally will not miss this grand occasion, he took advantage of the victory of the defenders, led the big treasurer Shen Congwang and Shizhu, brought a large number of condolences materials, and went to the national army camp to comfort the soldiers.

Soon after the 668th Regiment returned to Lianyungang, Shi Zhu couldn't wait to inquire about the location of the special operations platoon and found Zhao Yishui. When he came back from fighting the pirates this time, Zhao Yishui's originally fair skin obviously became slightly darker. Shi Zhu said: "Platoon Commander Zhao, you have been going to the north to fight bandits for more than two months, it is hard enough, I look forward to your return every day, and now that you are back, I will rest assured!" ”

Zhao Yishui said: "Yes, I often think about Brother Shizhu!" It's just that we are back, but unfortunately many brothers died on the battlefield! ”

After speaking, Zhao Yishui's face showed a sad look. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued to say to Shi Zhu: "Brother Shi Zhu, I was also looking for you, but after I came back, the station was adjusted, and it was inconvenient to leave, so I could only wait for you to come." I heard some news about Liu Fulong that you told me before the bandits. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm here for this!" After listening to Zhao Yishui's words, Shi Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and even his tone of voice was filled with excitement and joy.

Zhao Yishui also guessed the meaning of the stone pillar, he pulled the stone pillar to sit down, and said carefully: "At the beginning, I knew that it was the pirate Liu Heiqi, Zhang Zongyuan, and Liu Peichen who were going to fight, but I didn't hear about the bandit Liu Fulong you mentioned. Later, during an investigation mission, we captured a few minions to collect intelligence, and during interrogation, we accidentally learned that they had all followed Liu Fulong before. I continued to ask, and they determined that Liu Fulong had crossed the sea from Penglai to the Northeast a few years ago after being surrounded and suppressed by the official army, and took refuge with the Japanese, but they didn't know where he was now. According to those little minions, Liu Fulong is mostly in Heilongjiang now. Brother Shizhu, that's all I've heard......"

Hearing this, Shi Zhu was both excited and gritted his teeth and said: "I finally know where this beast is, even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will find him and end this grudge!" Anyway, Platoon Commander Zhao, I really want to thank you! ”

Zhao Yishui said: "Brother Shizhu, you are polite!" But if you want to catch Liu Fulong on the territory of the Japanese, it is not easy! You must be fully prepared, not rushed, let alone rash. ”

Shi Zhu said: "Well, platoon leader Zhao said yes. At present, the national army and the Japanese are fighting fiercely, and now although we have won the battle, there is no end to the eggs under the nest, and in the situation that all around me have fallen, I feel that the pure land of Haizhou will be occupied by the Japanese sooner or later. At that time, I will think about going to Liu Fulong again. ”

"Alas! With such national strength, what can we do, how long can we last? We can be regarded as keeping the port now, but although the Japanese have suffered hardships, they will not be willing to lose, the battle will continue soon, and I don't know if we can survive this summer......" Zhao Yishui looked at the green Yuntai Mountain in front of him, and said thoughtfully.

Indeed, the Japanese army was not willing to accept defeat, especially Kubo Miyaichi, as the commander-in-chief of its Marine Corps, gritted his teeth and vowed to take Lianyungang after losing another attack and being reprimanded by Muraita Tsujiro. Ten days later, the Japanese army sent additional soldiers from Qingdao to Lianyungang, and after this period of rest, the Japanese army believed that it was ripe to attack Sunjiashan again because of its abundant troops and firepower, and did not take Wan Yi's 667th Regiment seriously.

On the side of the defenders, after the 667th Regiment took over the defense of the port, the regiment commander Wan Yi also analyzed: directly opposite Sunjiashan is the narrow Dongxilian Island, not far from the coast, and it has been occupied by the Japanese army in the previous battle, which is a natural springboard for the Japanese army to land and attack. At present, if the Japanese army attacks again, it will definitely choose to use this springboard and use Sunjiashan as a breakthrough. So Wan Yi ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications, guard the commanding heights of Sunjia Mountain, and wait for the battle.

Sure enough, as soon as dawn arrived, the fog on the sea had not yet dissipated, and the Japanese launched an artillery bombardment on Sunjiashan. After the fog cleared slightly, several planes flew over the positions to shoot and bomb, and their landing troops also launched a brazen charge to the shore under the cover of the planes.

Wan Yi ordered the defenders to open fire and engaged the Japanese in a fight. However, when the morale of the defenders was high and the Japanese assault force was repulsed many times, Wan Yi suddenly ordered the soldiers of the first line of defense to retreat on all fronts.

"Commander, why are we retreating when we fought so well?" Liao Changqing, the commander of the first battalion, asked puzzled.

"Camp Commander Liao, just take a look!" Wan Yi pushed his glasses and said confidently.

After the Japanese vanguard landing force occupied the first line of defense of the first battalion of the defenders, they sent more troops to land and continue the attack under the cover of artillery fire and aircraft. At this time, Wan Yi ordered the withdrawn soldiers to attack fiercely, annihilating a large number of Japanese troops in an instant, and driving the landing force back. In this way, the defenders and the Japanese army often recovered, and a battle began.

At this time, Wan Yifang said to Battalion Commander Liao: "You see, our first line of defense is not easy to defend, and if we block there, the Japanese army will not send a large force to land on the shore, and we will not be able to fight many Japanese troops at all, but we will waste bullets in vain, but we ourselves have suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery in turn, and even the reserves have to be used to increase the combat strength." If we retreat, the Japanese army will be arrogant, and will send more troops ashore, just when we are lured to fight, so that the fight will be enjoyable. ”

After hearing this story, the soldiers of the first battalion all admired the strategy of Commander Wan.

The battle continued in a repeated exchange of fire between the two sides until dusk, when Wan Yi found that the Japanese army was no longer attacking, but taking a defensive position, setting up camp, and all confined to the beach by the sea. Wan Yi suddenly thought of a good idea - launch a night attack!

After counting the casualties, the first battalion suffered heavy casualties in the daytime fighting; In addition, the commander of the second battalion, Fan Hongsheng, was seriously injured in the previous battle with the bandits, and is still recovering, and he is afraid that his combat effectiveness has declined, so Wan Yi decided to send the third battalion to carry out this night attack mission, and instructed the commander of the first battalion, Liao Changqing, to guard his position and prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

After receiving the battle order and battle plan, Huang Yang, commander of the third battalion, ordered the soldiers to rest immediately and recuperate. After midnight, under the leadership of Huang Yang, all the people of the third battalion had a small wooden stick in their mouths, and under the cover of night, they quietly touched into the Japanese camp, wiped the neck of the sentry, and when they saw the Japanese soldiers in secret, they threw grenades together, and then inserted bayonets, and rushed towards the enemy in a fight.

The Japanese soldiers were overwhelmed by the sudden attack, some of them were blown to pieces by grenades, and some were killed by bayonets. The Japanese army was a little panicked, and after organizing a scattered battle formation, they had already lost a lot of troops, although they relied on small steel cannons to resist stubbornly, but after all, they could not resist the charge of the soldiers of the third battalion. After a glimmer of light appeared in the east, the Japanese army fled to the motorboat in panic under the cover of artillery fire from the sea, leaving a handful of corpses on the beach, missing arms and legs abounded, intestines dripping all over the ground, and blood stained the beach red.

The third battalion also lost some soldiers in this battle, and everyone had no time to grieve, and after sending the Japanese back to sea, they quickly cleaned the battlefield and strengthened the fortifications.

After returning from the suppression of bandits, in just a few days, Wan Yi led the 667th Regiment to fight two beautiful counterattacks at Yafu Mountain and Sunjiashan, which became famous for a while, and the prestige of the 57th Army also rose sharply. After the news came out, the people rejoiced, and in their hearts, the impression that the Northeast Army did not resist Japan disappeared in an instant, and they became more and more confident in the war of resistance.

After hearing this exciting news, Shi Zhu became more and more interested in Commander Wan and the 667th Regiment under his command. He had heard that Zhang Gouyu and some of the recruits had been added to the 667th Regiment, so he planned to go to Zhang Gouyu's fellow village to wear big eyes first to learn more about the situation. Taking the opportunity to deliver supplies to Laojuntang, Shi Zhu went to find Dai Dayan, who was still leading the recruits to practice shooting. Dai Dayan was very happy to see the stone pillar coming to him. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and they didn't get to the point until they exchanged pleasantries.

Shi Zhu first asked: "I heard that Zhang Gou has been assigned to the 667th regiment, how is it now?" ”

Hearing Shi Zhu's question, Dai Dayan's originally smiling face sank instantly, as if the originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds. Shi Zhu also noticed the change in Dai Dayan's expression, and seemed to realize something, so he didn't continue to ask, just waited for Dai Dayan to say it himself.

"The dog left him, he, he sacrificed!" Dai Dayan finally spoke, and the tears kept rolling in his eyes, and finally fell.

"Huh? How was it sacrificed? Shizhu couldn't believe it.

After snorting, Dai said with big eyes: "Gou Yu and some recruits were assigned to the third battalion of the 667th Regiment, and they died in Sunjiashan a few days ago when they attacked the devil at night!" But he didn't have it, listening to the soldiers, the dog was killed when he stabbed the Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier fell, but the dog left his hand still on the bayonet, and his eyes were closed and he didn't fall, which was really good! ”

Dai Dayan took out a sign and a letter from his bosom again, and continued: "This is what the dog left. The two of us are from the same village, and when we came out, we said that if anyone fell first, the living person must bring the relics to his parents in his hometown. I've been carrying these things with me, and when I see them, I think of the dog's leftovers, and I feel uncomfortable...... Now there is only one person left, and I will soon be assigned to the 672nd Regiment to guard the mast, if I fall down one day, I don't know who will bring things back! ”

Seeing that Dai Dayan was so sad, Shi Zhu had to comfort and said: "Brother Big Eyes, Brother Gouyu sacrificed for the righteousness of the nation, and if he died well, we ordinary people will remember him." Don't be too upset! ”

Dai Dayan gently wiped his eyes with his hand, and then asked Shi Zhu: "Oh, by the way, Brother Shi Zhu, I haven't asked you what you are looking for me today." ”

Shi Zhu said: "Originally, I wanted to ask you about the situation of the 667th Regiment and the head of Wan Yi, but I heard that the Gou Yu brothers died, so I didn't want to continue to ask." ”

"It doesn't matter. However, I don't know much about the situation, I only know that Commander Wan used to be with Zhang Shaoshuai, and offended Chiang Kai-shek in the "Xi'an Incident", and the 667th Regiment under his command was brave and good at fighting, and his reputation among the 57th Army was well-deserved! ”

After Shi Zhu listened, he saw that Dai Dayan was still sad about Zhang Gou's leftovers, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

In fact, it was not only Shizhu who was curious about what kind of person Wan Yi was, but also the commander of the Japanese Navy, Tsujiro Itabata, who was on the battleship, also had such questions. After the Japanese army attacked Sunjiashan and suffered repeated defeats, Xiangban muttered and asked: "Wan Yi, Wan Yi, who is he?" ”

Compared with Dai Dayan, the intelligence officer under the Xiangban knew much more information, and he said: "Your Excellency Commander, as far as we know, Wan Yi, a native of Dalian, is thirty-one years old, and is currently the colonel of the 667th Regiment of the 57th Army of the Northeast Army. In the fourteenth year of Taizheng, he entered the infantry department of the Northeast Army Sergeant Training Team, and the captain was Zhang Xueliang at that time; From the following year, he served as the second lieutenant adjutant of Zhang Xueliang's adjutant office and the ordnance officer of the Shenyang Beida Battalion; Showa entered the Northeast Army Lecture Hall for four years and achieved excellent results. After the Japanese Empire took Northeast China, he went to Nanjing with Zhang Xueliang and successively served as the deputy of the major regiment, the battalion commander of the major, and the deputy of the lieutenant colonel. He followed Zhang Xueliang in the Xi'an incident, so he was detained and arrested and imprisoned. He was released in October of the twelfth year of Showa, participated in the Battle of Nanjing in December, and was defeated by our army. According to another investigation, Wan Yi may have secretly joined the Communist Party! ”

After listening to the report, Xiang Ban Tijiro couldn't help but say: "There are such powerful characters in the Northeast Army!" If he were a communist, it would be even more difficult to deal with! Pass the order, and attack Lianyungang in the future, be careful Wan Yi! ”

Of course, Shi Zhu would never know the news reported by the intelligence officer under the township board, and he could only take the initiative to contact the 667th Regiment with curiosity to know more.

After the Japanese army failed to attack Sunjiashan again, Xiangbantijiro did not dare to land from the front line of Sunjiashan again, so he had to order the navy and maritime aviation to bomb the Sunjiashan position from time to time, which could not cause much damage to the troops stationed in Sunjiashan, and the front line of Sunjiashan was firmly in the hands of the defenders.

Sunjiashan was safe, and the headquarters of the 112th Division sent someone to inform Zhu Guanglian to continue to transport supplies to Sunjiashan, which just gave Shizhu the opportunity to contact the 667th Regiment. On this day, just in time to deliver supplies to Sunjiashan, Shi Zhu and his party had not yet arrived at the unloading site, and they heard an impassioned and majestic singing voice from the national army camp from a distance:

The sacred war of self-defense is the way of life of the nation, everyone move forward!

The Japanese slaves seized the northeast of our country by force, and they had no food to step into the Great Wall Pass.

Kou has been deep, the country is dying, the family has been broken, we must swear to recover the old mountains and rivers.

Shi Zhu had often heard patriotic students or young people singing some anti-Japanese songs in patriotic parades organized by schools and citizens, but it was the first time he had heard such a passionate and inspiring war song with a beautiful melody in the army.

"The Six, Six, and Seven Regiments are indeed different, just listening to this song can make people full of strength," Shi Zhu couldn't help but think in his heart.

After a few times, the stone pillar and the soldiers in the regiment gradually became acquainted, and there were dozens of people who looked like intellectuals, which aroused the great interest of the stone pillar. These people do not look like people who can go to the front line to fight bayonets, but they are excellent in doing the ideological work of soldiers, and they are very concerned about soldiers, and they are not as domineering as other officers of all levels of the national army.

Because the guerrillas were rejected by the reactionary elements at that time, and the anti-Japanese base areas were destroyed by the Japanese army, the Yangtze River Branch of the Communist Party of China withdrew these people, and after contacting Huo Shouyi, they were assigned to Wan Yi's 667th Regiment and worked in the regiment, with a view to transforming the old Northeast Army into a people's army. These people not only carried out various anti-Japanese patriotic movements in the regiment, but also secretly propagated the revolutionary ideas of the Communist Party, and even founded the "Under the Fire" tabloid at the regiment headquarters, which was even better than the troops led by the Communist Party at that time.

Shi Zhu could see the difference between these dozens of people by feeling, which showed that his insight was very extraordinary. After getting acquainted with these people, Shi Zhu not only gained a deeper understanding of the Communist Party, but gradually began to agree with and support the Communist Party's ideas.

There are a few people who can speak foreign languages among these people, and although Shizhu has only finished junior high school, he is very interested in foreign languages. Shi Zhu had no foundation in foreign dialect, but with his personal talent for diligence and studiousness, in a short period of time, he learned a lot of dialogue by rote memorization. Although it was not a lot, it helped to play a role in the future.

After the Japanese army was defeated twice in Sunjiashan, they did not dare to land from this place again, and they also had scruples about Wan Yi's 667th Regiment, but Xiangbantijiro did not give up. After consideration, he decided to send a wing of troops to secretly land from the Miaoling area between Sunjiashan and Xugou, where there was no Chinese army guarding the coast, and after going ashore, the Japanese army could advance westward along the railway, bypassing the Yuntai Mountain barrier, and after reaching Xugou, the wing that went ashore could flank the front and rear with the navy to eliminate the defenders of Xugou.

Rathero's wishful thinking clicked, but the defenders had detected the intentions of the Japanese army.

On this day, Shi Zhu was taking the opportunity to send supplies to ask the cultural people in the 667th Regiment for some knowledge, only to see that the regiment headquarters ordered the troops to assemble urgently, although Shi Zhu did not know what was going on, but he knew that the troops must have to take action, and it was inconvenient for him to bother again, so he made no choice but to leave.

On the morning of the next day, Shizhu and his party heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the direction of Miaoling. Another day later, when Shizhu was transporting supplies to Sunjiashan again, he listened to the people in the army talk about this operation: After the 112th Division discovered the intentions of the Japanese army, the division headquarters ordered two battalions and one battalion from the 667th Regiment and the 668th Regiment respectively, a total of three battalions, under the command of Wan Yi, to block the Japanese landing at Miaoling. Sure enough, the Japanese army quietly touched the shore from Miaoling before dawn through twilight and dense fog. After discovering that the Japanese troops had come ashore, Wan Yi did not rush to order the troops to fight, but asked the soldiers to hide in various ambush points, just waiting for the Japanese troops to drill in. After the Japanese troops came ashore, they advanced west along the railway at dawn, and when they entered the ambush circle, Wan Yi ordered the troops to open fire on all fronts. The Japanese army thought that its actions were unaware, but when they were attacked suddenly, they were temporarily out of proportion, unable to organize an effective counterattack at all, and could only passively parry. Eventually, after several hours of fierce fighting, the Japanese troops who had come ashore were driven back. This battle was very enjoyable, and more than 300 people were killed and wounded in the Japanese army's almost 1,000-strong wing.

The people of the 667th Regiment were all full of pride on their faces when they told Shizhu about the battle.

After learning that the defenders of Lianyungang had won another great victory, Commander Zeng Xiqi specially went to the cliff stone of Wanshou Mountain in Sucheng to write eight blood-red characters on the cliff rock, "Yin Worry enlightens the saint and prospers the country" to encourage the soldiers to resist Japan loyally and bravely and defend the rivers and mountains of the motherland.

On that day, Shizhu and many Haizhou people and soldiers listened to Zeng Xiqi's generous speech, in Commander Zeng's words, "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband" This sentence, so that Shizhu has been remembered for a long time, it is like a bright light, so that Shizhu wants to serve the country but has to give up the regret to see hope - the common people can also contribute to the country and this ancient city!
