In order to crack down on the rampant offensive of the enemy, puppeteers, bandits, and rebels, to strengthen the conviction of the military and civilian struggle in Hailing, and to cooperate with the anti-"sweeping" struggle in the base areas, the Eighth Route Army stationed in Binhai instructed the Second Brigade to severely crack down on the "encroachment" of the Japanese puppets in accordance with the "flanging tactics" created by the party Central Committee and Luo Ronghuan, political commissar of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

In November 1942, the Eighth Route Army, the main force, instructed the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade, the 1st Division of the 6th Regiment, the Independent Brigade of the 57th Army, the 111th Division of the friendly army, and the local armed forces of Hailing to work closely together and fight side by side, launching a powerful offensive against the enemy and puppet forces that had invaded Hailing County, and began the struggle against "encroachment."

In order to make arrangements for the anti-"encroachment" campaign, at the end of October this year, Fu Zhuting, political commissar of the Second Brigade, personally led a company to hold a meeting of party and government leaders in Hailing County in Lizhi to learn more about the encroachment of Hailing.

After grasping the situation of both the enemy and us, Fu Zhuting returned to the military sub-district to hold a meeting to make specific arrangements for the struggle against "encroachment." Fu Zhuting: "The anti-'encroachment' battle first started in the 'key' areas where puppets and bandits were entrenched, and dealt a ruthless blow to the enemy's arrogance. Next, I would like to invite Comrade Chen Shiyu, chief of staff of the 115th Division and commander of the Binhai Naval District, to give an order! ”

Chen Shiyu stood up and glanced at Zeng Guohua, Wan Yi, Mr. Gu and other members of the association and said: "On November 3, I instructed the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade to join the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade of the 57th Army and the local armed forces of Hailing to use the cover of night to send regiments to surround the stronghold of Luozhuang; The 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade was directly inserted into Luozhuang and Henggou. After conquering Luozhuang and Henggou, the troops made a big show and created public opinion, confusing the enemy with fiction and reality; The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Independent Brigade attacked the ...... of the circle"

Xiao Hua, director of the Political Department of the Military Region, who came to condole: "Okay! Commander Chen's combat plan is very good! Do you have the confidence to complete the task? ”

"Yes!" The comrades of the Eighth Route Army and the friendly army replied in unison.

Brigade Commander Sun, the representative of the friendly forces, was no exception at the meeting, and made up his mind to fight to the end on the same day.

Luo Huasheng, the head of the fourth Binhai regiment, said: "Luozhuang is the nest of the evil gentry Li Taichang, and his sons Li Zhendong and Li Chunsheng colluded with Yin Yuzhuo, the captain of the puppet army, to set up a stronghold in Luozhuang, aiding and abusing the villagers. In this battle, they must be wiped out on the spot! ”

"Good! It depends on your fourth regiment, and only your fourth regiment has this ability. Chen Shiyu said with a smile.

On the same day, the head of the old fourth regiment, Luo and other troops, first launched a political offensive, shouted at the stronghold, and urged the Li father and son to surrender, but the traitor Li Zhendong was still very arrogant and even challenged the anti-"encroachment" troops, and the commanders and fighters were full of anger and began to attack. With the cooperation of the militia of Hailing County, the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Brigade and the 4th Regiment Demolition Group used earthen cannons and explosives to force the Luozhuang entrenchment, pillbox, and artillery tower.

From 5 o'clock in the afternoon, after seven hours of fierce fighting, the stronghold of Luozhuang was conquered, the evil gentry Li Taichang was burned to death, and the traitors Li Zhendong and Li Chunsheng and more than 60 puppet soldiers under the puppet brigade captain Yin Yuzhuo were captured alive. The first battle was won, and the morale was greatly boosted.

On 4 November, the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade was instructed to plunge straight into the horizontal ditch. Due to insufficient preparation, it did not work. The next day, they attacked again, successfully broke through the defense line, and completely annihilated more than 200 puppet troops in the Henggou stronghold, and Luo Baocheng (traitor), the puppet captain who escaped by drilling a dog hole, was also arrested by the local people. The prestige of our army arrived, and the enemy in Tingzibu and Dong'an strongholds immediately fled

Because the anti-"encroachment" forces strictly guard secrecy, the enemy and the puppet cannot understand our troops, firepower, operational intentions, and combat deployments. After conquering Luozhuang and Henggou, the troops made a big show of public opinion, and confused the enemy with false and real truth. Local Citizen A: "That's good! One by one, the division is all here! ”

A villager: "The second brigade is here, as well as the cavalry brigade and the artillery brigade......"

"Who's to say it isn't? The Independent Brigade is also all in the battle! It's what I saw with my own eyes! A common man said with noses and eyes.

"Yes! The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are overwhelming, at least more than 100,000 people......" An old lady without teeth gestured with her mouth open.

When the enemy of Xinpu sent to the aid of Dongmazhuang and Qizhuang, he was chased by the enemy with cavalry more than 10 kilometers out of Xinpu, and did not dare to advance rashly; More than 500 people from Niushan were also suspicious and did not dare to move. This has provided great convenience for the anti-"encroachment" team to uproot the strongholds one by one.

On the evening of the 5th, the Second Regiment of the Independent Brigade, with the cooperation of the First Regiment, overcame the circle ditch and annihilated more than 80 puppet troops.

The stronghold of Kehanjiahu is a tough attack in the battle against "encroachment". On 6 November, the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade approached the periphery of the Hanjiahu stronghold and rechecked the terrain: It was learned that the stronghold was set up on a flat piece of land at the east end of Hanjiahu, with a large blockhouse at each of the four corners of the wall, and a bright fort and a hidden fort around it.

The 3rd Battalion decided to besiege the enemy in the southeast with two platoons. As night fell, after Chen Shiyu personally gave the order to open fire, the troops began to shell the pillbox, and a small hole was blown open in the fence. Taking advantage of the smoke screen, the troops rushed through the entrenchment, cut the barbed wire, and pulled out the deer. However, the enemy's firepower was strong, and the ladder of the attacking troops could not reach the wall, and if they attacked, the casualties would be very large, so they had to stop the attack and let the squads meet to study countermeasures.

At dawn the next day, the gunfire in the direction of Xiaoqizhuang was intensive, and the attacking troops judged that it was the enemy's reinforcements and our reinforcements.

In the morning, the anti-"encroachment" troops fired only four shells and bombarded the southern artillery tower, taking advantage of the internal chaos of the enemy to shout and force them to surrender.

At this time, the direction of Xiaoqizhuang came to report that the enemy reinforcements had been repulsed. The morale of the soldiers was even higher, and they were not afraid that the enemy was still firing, and one by one they approached the trench to cooperate with the propagandists of the enemy engineering group to shout.

The puppet army in the bunker couldn't hold his breath anymore, and released a captured civilian, demanding that the cannon not be fired and surrender at night. Wu Dai, the political commissar of the regiment, immediately wrote a letter, asking them to surrender within an hour, otherwise they would open fire immediately, and asked Song Jiliu, who was pretending to be a common man, to send the letter to them.

After Liu went up, he came to the main artillery tower of the Hanjiahu stronghold with a smile, and the pseudo-squadron leader was turning anxiously inside with his hands behind his back. Song Jiliu pretended to be a frightened ordinary person, cautiously handed the letter to the pseudo-squadron leader, and said with a cold shiver: "Chief, sir, it's all outside, it's all eight-way, also, or no, don't fight, it's good!" ”

"How many are there?" The pseudo-squadron leader asked impatiently.

"Black press, at least tens of thousands!" Song Jiliu replied with a pretended to be scared.

The deputy squadron leader on one side was very frightened and said to the pseudo-squadron leader: "I, I think it's better to surrender!" The artillery of the Eighth Route Army is too powerful, when is it also the most important life! ”

"Yes, yes, yes. We heard that the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners preferentially, and they were kind to those who surrendered, and they never killed prisoners. If you don't believe me, kill me! Song Jiliu said cautiously.
