In 1941, the Japanese army successively occupied Jiashizhuang (Zhao Gao border), Wuqiu (Zhao Jin border), Zhao County Qiandazhang, Da'an, Xianmenlou, Dafuzhuang and other villages in the second and third districts of the eastern part of Zhao County, turning more than 50 villages in the second and third districts of Zhao County into mobilization areas. Especially the enemy in Jiashizhuang is powerful and has high military ranks, and it frequently swept around regardless of county boundaries. It imposes heavy taxes on the villages in the second and third districts of our county, burns, kills, loots, and commits all evil deeds. Villages such as Da'an and Xiaosizhuang have all been burned and killed by the Japanese army in Jiashizhuang.原国民党十三支队陈凤山、王文群一伙率部投降日军后，分别占领了贤门楼、大安，在日军的指挥下，昼夜不停地包围村庄，搜捕抗日工作人员，广大群众整天惶恐不安。 Because the enemy's strength was several times that of our anti-Japanese war, the environment was extremely cruel at that time, the masses were in a low mood, and agricultural production was greatly affected, which brought many difficulties and disadvantages to the anti-Japanese work. In order to avoid the enemy's large-scale search, local cadres slept in the deep woods at night, and sometimes it was inevitable that they would be exposed, and the anti-Japanese work fell into a trough.
为改变异常被动局面，1941年初秋，在青纱帐业已形成，梨树枝繁叶茂、果实累累的时候，上级党委和赵县县委在分析了东部敌我双方力量后，一致认为,必须有一支强有力的部队到这个地区开辟工作，才能打破僵局，彻底扭转被动局面。 After consulting the Party Committee of the Jizhong Division, the Hebei-Central Division Second Regiment (about three battalions, nine companies, and about a thousand people) was approved to send the second district of the eastern part of Zhao County to contact Mi Shuzhang, the head of the second district of the Anti-Japanese War, to discuss the work of opening up a battlefield behind enemy lines. District Mayor Mi Shuzhang sent people to investigate the "divided and joint attack" sweeps into the eastern Li District (a place suitable for our army to fight guerrillas) after careful investigation. After the information of the cooperation between the Japanese and puppet troops in Da'an and Xianmenlou, they immediately reported the information to the commander of the Second Regiment. The regiment commander expressed his intention to concentrate his efforts and take the initiative to ambush, resolutely defeat the enemy's plan to "joint attack and sweep" and boost the people's confidence in the war of resistance.
8月20日早饭前后，在南庄村北、董庄村南交界处茂密的梨树林里，一场精心准备的伏击战打响了。 The gunshots of both sides, gunshots, short calls of light machine guns, long calls of heavy machine guns, and explosions of grenades. The battle was extremely fierce. It took about 7 hours to fight before the Japanese army left their bodies and fled in a panic under the strong attack of our army. The Japanese army in Jiashizhuang suffered the most casualties. The people of Dongzhuang took away two large chariots and about 40 bodies. The surviving Japanese army was so scared that they fled back to Jiashizhuang in a hurry. The south gate was closed and he did not dare to go out for a long time. The puppet troops from Xianmen Tower and Da'an came to cooperate with our army to attack. Unexpectedly, they encountered our army ambush. As soon as they caught fire, they fled back to the artillery tower with their tails and huddled in the artillery tower and kept their doors away. The spoils of this anti-sweeping include: 140 "March 8" large guns, 28 grenade launchers, 22 mortars, 15 pistols, and tens of thousands of bullets of various types.
Dongzhuang Nanzhuang ambush victory was in great enthusiasm, and the masses applauded and cheered. This battle not only achieved a major military victory, but also deterred the enemy, but also greatly promoted the development of local work in our district.
After the ambush in Dongzhuang, the people greatly inspired the enthusiasm of the masses to resist Japan and save the country. The majority of young and middle-aged people actively joined the army. In addition to joining the regular troops, the second district team reached a full capacity (30 people). Many young and middle-aged people also looked for District Mayor Mi to ask for joining the army. In order to strengthen the anti-Japanese force, with the approval of the county party committee, the second district formed a farming youth team, with Mi Bingchen, director of the Dadongping Farmers Association, serving as the captain, making great achievements for the anti-Japanese country and defending production.
The victory of the ambush in the South Village of Dongzhuang has enhanced the confidence of the masses in fighting against the enemy and the puppet.为了坚持抗战，大、小东平、大、小寺庄、范庄、杨户、东朱家庄、大安、秀才营、大夫庄等村之间的大道和田间路都挖成了战壕式通车道沟。This will help our army fight guerrilla warfare , and will also facilitate the masses to safely withdraw when the enemy is "surrounded and swept", greatly enhancing military maneuverability and flexibility. Until now, the Liyuan in Dasizhuang Village still preserves a period of authenticity from the Anti-Japanese War.
The victory of the ambush in the Dongzhuang Nanzhuang made the general public actively participate in the " Break War " struggle against blockade and anti-division. At that time, between Da'an and Xianmen Tower, between Xianmen Tower and Qiandazhang, along the car road, the enemy dug into a 15-meter-deep and 18-meter-wide Blockade Ditch . In addition, there is a Zhao (county) and Jin (county) boundary ditch in the east, and a Zhao (county) and Ning (Ningjin County) boundary ditch in the south, which divided the 22 villages in the second district into 4 pieces. There are 14 bunkers in the middle passage of the blockade ditch, guarded by puppet troops, and they specifically searched for our anti-Japanese staff. The enemy's vicious means of dividing villages and towns did cause great difficulties for my anti-Japanese activities. Our district took advantage of the opportunity of Dong Nan's victory in the battle, and with the support of its superiors, we mobilized the masses widely to carry out the "breaking war" struggle in the blockade ditch from Fanzhuang to Yanghu. Fill the blockade trenches into flat ground, dig the car road into trenches, cut off the power poles, and destroy the telephone line. The enemy was repaired during the day, but we destroyed it at night, and the wind and rain continued, and we worked for more than 40 days in a row. At first, we could only mobilize young and middle-aged people aged 25 to 45 to participate. Soon, healthy people aged 20 to 50 participated. Every time the road is broken and the ditch is filled, it is carried out by the sound of gunfire (in the stronghold or on the guardhouse). Since the troops are responsible for safety alerts, the masses are bold and strong, and the more they are, the higher their emotions are. Once when we broke the road, our guards were shooting and fighting with the ambushed enemy. Bullets whizzed over our heads. The people who broke the road did not retreat at all, and shouted in unison with the troops, "Catch the alive, you can't run away!" Thousands of people shouted together, and they rang like huge thunder, which scared the enemy to fear and dizziness, and fled back to the stronghold with their tails and closed their doors.
This battle not only defeated the enemy politically and psychologically, but also unplugged more than 900 poles and reclaimed more than 4,000 kilograms of wires. The enemy who had been fighting had not built roads, digging ditches, and cutting electric poles, completely winning the "breaking battle".
It can be seen that the ambush in Dongzhuang Nanzhuang was the most famous war example in the Anti-Japanese War in the eastern Pear District of Zhao County and deserves to be remembered forever.
