From 1939 to 10, the Japanese invaders successively assembled the 1st 10, 1st 14, 27th and 4th divisions. In response to the enemy's joint "mopping up", the main force of the Eighth Route Army was divided into several groups to cooperate with local troops to carry out guerrilla warfare with the Japanese aggressors on the plain. Tackle the enemy skillfully.

During this period, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army129th Division, led by Chen Geng, launched many attacks on the enemies of various strongholds. In the dark, the soldiers of the 386th Brigade disguised as ordinary people quietly approached the enemy and launched an attack by surprise. When the enemy found out, the soldiers had disappeared.

When the new regiment of the 386 Brigade harassed the enemy, it often mixed with farmers who went out of the city to farm during the day and went into the city. In the quiet night, it blew up the enemy's ammunition depot and burned the enemy's materials. In order to confuse the enemy, the new regiment organized people around it for several nights, bluffing, setting up soil guns and soil cannons and pretending to attack the city. At first, the enemy thought it was just an eighth route team and ignored it. As a result, after they entered the city, they shouted around and mobilized troops overnight in an attempt to fight to the death with the new regiment. Who knows when they came, the soldiers of the new regiment were smashed into pieces and turned into ordinary people in the surrounding villages, which puzzled the enemy Zhang Er. The Japanese devils who became angry from embarrassment were determined to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army and fight to the end under the constant harassment of the new regiment of the 386 Brigade. According to the characteristics of the enemy's eagerness to fight, Chen Geng decided to set a trap, lure the wolf into the room, gather and annihilate it, and the battle of Xiangchenggu is one of the typical examples of luring the enemy to ambush the Japanese army.

The southern Hebei plain in the dead of winter. Bare, in order to choose the right ambush point, Chen Geng didn't sleep for several consecutive nights. After in-depth understanding and on-the-spot investigation, Chen Geng chose the beachhead in the northwest of Xiangcheng at the southern tip of wei county as the ambush point.

Xiangchenggu, located in the Heilonggang Valley, is surrounded by a hint of red willow and wild jujube. The terrain is inclined. In zhang jia zhuang, south of the depression, there is a big sand mountain about three miles long and several feet high, which corresponds to Zhuangtou Village in the east and is tightly sandwiched in the middle of the depression. It is an ideal bag-like ambush position.

"This is an ideal ambush position. In particular, this thick river sand is the best rope to bind the hands and feet of enemy mechanized troops! " Chen Geng said happily.

After Chen Geng organized the cadres of various regiments to secretly inspect the local topography, a plan to lure the enemy to ambush the Japanese army was formed in Chen Geng's mind.

Chen Geng ordered the first battalion of the 688th regiment to be at the front of Chenggu, and the main force of the regiment assembled in zhang jia zhuang area, ready to feint wei county; Supplementary group is responsible for the defense of Zhuangtou front line; As a decoy unit, a new cavalry company went to Wei County to pretend to attack the county seat and lure the Japanese out. One battalion of the new regiment is responsible for containing the surrounding enemies, and the other two battalions are responsible for cutting off the enemy's retreat.

Late at night on February 9, the night was like paint, and the cold north wind made a harsh roar. The west bank of the old Shahe River in the northwest of Xiangcheng is crowded, and the impact of pickaxe in sand and frozen soil echoes the roar of fierce cold wind, playing a special movement. After a night of hard work, a hidden trench was completed in the dark. The troops sneaked into the position and ambushed the enemy.

At the same time, the frontline troops were also sent out. The two battalions of the 688th regiment assembled in zhang jia zhuang quietly touched wei county at the gates and distributed around, braving to set up a ladder and posing as a siege. The cavalry company entered Wei county and deliberately exposed the actions of the troops to the enemy.

Seeing this posture, the Japanese army in wei county thought it was the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and all of them boarded the towers. Unexpectedly, the siege troops just waved a gun and quickly withdrew to the south of the city.

How could the supplementary brigade in Japan City and the infantry squadron in An Tian miss such a good opportunity? Immediately gather a team, take eight cars to pursue in their nests, and chase the cavalry.

This cavalry company deliberately kept at arm's length with the Japanese army, fighting and walking, and let the Japanese army catch up, and at the same time let the Japanese army catch up and seduce the enemy step by step.

When the cavalry entered Gengjiazhuang, they suddenly hid. The devil was very impatient when he saw that the cavalry company was gone. After a while, the cavalry company appeared two miles southeast of Xiangchenggu and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese flank. The Japanese immediately directed the motorcade to leave the road and go straight to the cavalry company. In this way, the enemy's nose was firmly held by the cavalry company and closely followed the ambush ring.

Zhou Xihan, chief of staff of the brigade, saw this situation with a telescope on the roof of the brigade command post and happily reported to Chen Geng: "The enemy has got our golden hook!"

The Japanese army angrily chased all cavalry companies into the ambush circle. When they arrived at the north street entrance of Xiangcheng Gucun, with a clear starting gun, the 688th regiment, which was ambushed there, quickly and violently opened fire on the enemy and destroyed a car.

At this time, the Japanese army realized that they had been cheated and suffered a critical attack. It immediately panicked and hurriedly organized troops to fight back. An Tian, the captain of the Japanese squadron, picked up the telescope and looked around three places, but found nothing. Only a small unit fired directly at him south, so he immediately ordered to continue attacking our position in the south. However, it was pushed back twice.

An Tian seemed to feel that the situation was even worse, so he told an army that from east to south, he wanted to take a detour to copy my posterior route. As soon as he bypassed the flank of the frontal ambush troops, he was attacked by the supplementary regiment that had already been ambushed there.

"No, I was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army!" An Tian really panicked at this moment. He realized that this should be a circle, not just a frontal ambush! In a panic, he howled loudly and ordered: "Break through quickly! Break through quickly! "

An Tian understood, but it was too late! At this time, our troops in the west, south and east opened fire together. The Japanese army hurriedly turned around and rushed north.

The population of the ambush circle is in the north, and the terrain is low, so it is impossible to build hidden fortifications in advance. According to the original plan, after the devils enter the ambush circle, the new regiment will seize this side and seal the opening of the ambush circle.

But at this time, a new group of people has not yet arrived. The situation is very critical. With the advantage of manpower and the rapid movement of cars, the enemy set up two mountain guns to shell the north. At the same time, he mobilized the cars, fanned them out, and launched an attack to the north.

At this moment, a new group of warriors suddenly rushed to the slope from the northwest, took up their guns and shot fiercely at the enemy, cutting off the enemy's only retreat.

The entrance to the north was blocked by a new group, so the Japanese army became turtles in a jar and was surrounded by the group in the center of Dasha River. The devil's car got stuck in the sandpit, and it got deeper and deeper. An Tian's squadron leader was frightened and immediately ordered the devil to get off and fight back. Hundreds of devils rushed to new positions with bayonets. Brave soldiers threw grenades and picked up bayonets to fight the enemy. The dying Japanese army actually used poison gas. After the soldiers blew up the poison gas with grenades, they picked up bayonets and rushed at the enemy. Towards evening, An Tian found it difficult to break through. He sent out a flare for help. He is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks.

"Didi Didi Didi, click click", a loud charge sounded, and the order of the general attack arrived! The Eighth Route Army commandos and local people's armed forces jumped out of their positions like tigers, picked up bayonets and rushed at the enemy from all directions.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing everywhere, and the devils fell one after another. After a fierce battle, there are ghosts everywhere, and the positions are full of desperate howls of ghosts! Japanese cars were burned one by one, and smoke billowed. At midnight, the battle ended successfully.

That evening, our army began to clean the battlefield. The cavalry platoon found five wounded devils behind the sand slope, and one of them raised his knife and cut at the platoon leader. The platoon leader jumped off the horse and hacked him to death, while the others were taken alive. The hacked enemy is An Tian's mid-team leader. This campaign * * * wiped out 250 enemy troops and captured 8 devils. Destroy nine enemy cars. When the moon rose into the sky, the main force of the 386 brigade left Xiangchenggu with the joy of victory and the light of cultivation.

The news of victory spread to the southern Hebei Military Region, and the leaders of the military region spoke highly of it: "It shocked the entire southern Hebei liberated area, thus strengthening the confidence of the anti-Japanese military and civilians in the North China Plain to win."

Mr. Liu also appreciated the battle very much. He summed up his experience and said: "The pockets of the 386 Brigade are well arranged! Its advantages are: first, it is good at luring the enemy by showing weakness, especially inspiring the enemy's arrogance and contempt for our army; Second, he is good at inducing an ambush into a mobile siege and occupying all the houses nearby, so that the devils can't fix and escape; The third is to be good at concerted action. In this battle, the ratio of enemy casualties to enemy casualties is four to one. This is a beautiful ambush. "

Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek and Wei Li Huang also called to commend the 386 Brigade. People in high spirits praised the 386 brigade in jingles: the 386 brigade is a good boy, and Chen and Wang are the first. There are pockets on the beach and Xiangcheng is surrounded by a big net. The bus caught fire and the Japanese ghost saw the king of hell. Solve our hatred and keep our good hometown.

Since the Anti-Japanese War, the 386th Brigade led by Chen Geng has won many battles, and it has already become a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. After the First World War in Xiangcheng, the enemy assembled 70 cars and dispatched 5 planes to search and pursue the 386th Brigade for 7 days. "Is it the 386 brigade?" Along the way, the enemy was curious and asked if it was like this. The car left immediately. The day after the 386th Brigade camped everywhere, enemy planes came for reconnaissance. However, the 386th Brigade has already moved, and the enemy can't find the whereabouts of the 386th Brigade. The 386th Brigade attacked the enemy again and again with flexible tactics. The Japanese crazy revenge attempt failed.

Chen Geng and the 386th Brigade had a high prestige in fighting against Japan, and his destruction of the Japanese traffic lines made the Japanese even more frightened. Japan's OTA troops wrote to tell his boss: "On both sides of the railway, the Eighth Route Army has a lot to do, so it can be said that there is not a day without fighting. It's incredible that I can live to this day! "

A soldier of the Japanese army said, "There is nothing against Chen Geng's troops that won't hurt you! At night, power lines and railways will be destroyed, and there will be eight roads entrenched half a step away from the barracks. Five people and ten people dare not come out! "

The 386 brigade became a thorn in the side of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army besieged southeastern Shanxi, the slogan "Only the 386 Brigade, Only Chen Geng" was posted on the vanguard armored vehicles. The enemy was afraid of the 386th Brigade, so they fought the 386th Brigade. The people are also familiar with the 386th Brigade. The masses affectionately called the 386 brigade "our team!" The 386th Brigade is one of the most heroic troops in China, which is famous for its bravery and good fighting skills. Brigadier General Chen Geng has become a banner of victory for the Eighth Route Army.
