Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the enemy used light and heavy weapons such as submachine guns, machine guns, and rocket launchers to shoot wildly at the stone house where the sentries lived. In an instant, there was the roar of rockets, the explosion of grenades, and the sound of machine guns like fried beans. Mountains and rocks were flying around the Mabeng Post with a radius of several hundred meters, sounds echoed, fire snakes were flying, and stars were shining. The Vietnamese agents lurking in the Baogu area saw that they could not enter the outpost, so under the cover of strong firepower, they prepared to use directional mines to blow up the outpost. At this moment, the sentinel Hou Xinghe, who had been hiding in the cracks of the rocks, discovered it. It turned out that when Hou Xinghe came out of the room, he felt that the atmosphere was extremely tense and that it was more dangerous in his original position, so he quietly touched the stone crevice above the valley in front of him on the left. It was very close to the enemy, and it was from a high position. Not long after, he saw several enemies hurriedly moving about a dozen meters below him. Hou Xinghe quickly threw out a grenade. With a loud bang, the enemies were blown to pieces and fled. . Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Hou Xinghe fired another burst of fire. It turned out that several enemies had placed four directional mines at the intersection where the sentries entered and exited, and were connecting the positive and negative fuses to the power supply. At this critical moment, the grenade thrown by Hou Xinghe exploded into pieces. The sound of gunshots came in rapid succession. There are only 12 militiamen left fighting in the stone house, and the situation is very critical. The sentry commander Li Yonghua clearly knows that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. If one person breaks out of the stone house, one will be knocked down. Holding the stone house means guarding the post, and persistence is victory. Therefore, he decisively ordered the militiamen to guard the stone house no matter what. Several militiamen who were injured at the entrance of the cave endured severe pain to stop the enemy and secure the entrance of the cave. The agents who attacked from the left secretly reached the trench, but their footing was not stable. They were shot by militiamen and fell down from the rocky mountain one by one. The Vietnamese army was not familiar with the terrain in this area. There were rocks everywhere and it was extremely difficult to walk at night. There were obstacles and bumps. They were afraid that my reinforcements would arrive upon receiving the report and did not dare to fight. They had to drag the remaining soldiers and the defeated generals to flee in panic. . After an hour of fierce fighting, the militiamen killed 4 enemies, wounded 14 enemies, and seized 12 Soviet-style individual rocket launchers and a batch of military supplies, once again crushing the Vietnamese army's armed invasion. The Yunnan Provincial Military Region awarded Ma Beng Post a first-class collective merit.

The small poplar saplings planted by the sentries back then have now grown into a forest and the sturdy barracks are still there ("During the "9.12 battle", the Vietnamese army placed three directional landmines that did not have time to detonate). All domestic water depends on this trench to store rainwater. The strong trenches and fortifications are all built by the sentries themselves. Individual bunkers clinging to the cliff to defend the heavy machine gun fortifications in the direction of Mabai. The heavy machine gun fortifications in the direction of defending Mabai are still well preserved. This picture of the trench fortifications (picture from that year) is the location of the above picture, but the shooting direction is opposite to the observation post next to the main peak bunker. The main peak's anti-aircraft machine gun fortifications and the main peak anti-gun bunker. At that time, a class of soldiers guarded the main peak bunker every night. ""I The slogan "At the position is here" is still vaguely visible. This is a photo from that year. "The word "I am here" was damaged and restored. The poplar saplings planted by myself have now become a forest (night photo). The position under night (heavy machine gun fortification) Outside the gun point is the road that now leads to Pubang, Vietnam (the road was built after the war). In the night, the trenches leading to the main peak were defended from the front - Big Flame Mute Mouth.
