In early 1938, according to the needs of the anti-Japanese struggle situation, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to form an East-advance Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column. Chen Zaidao, deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, was appointed as the commander, leading 6 companies of about 500 people to advance to the southern part of Hebei, and carried out the flexible and maneuverable guerrilla war .
Chen Zaidao
On the afternoon of September, Chen Zaidao was studying combat plans with staff. At this time, the front troops and a Japanese brigade were fighting fiercely. The enemy was indeed cunning. After entering our ambush circle, under the sudden attack of our army's firepower, we quickly organized effective defense, launched a tug-of-war with our army, waiting for rescue.
Our army must take down the enemy in a short time, otherwise, once their reinforcements arrive, they will fall into an extremely passive situation. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Chen Zaidao sent the guard company around him, leaving only one guard platoon.
At this time, the combat situation has been reported to the 129th Division. Liu Bocheng called many times to inquire about the progress and was very concerned about the frontline battle situation.

At this moment, the reconnaissance staff of the 129th Division received important information. While the Japanese army sent another brigade to reinforce, they had completely reconnaissed the position of Chen Zaidao's command post in front and were sending a cavalry team to quickly run towards Chen Zaidao's command post.
Liu Bocheng immediately instructed him to quickly inform Chen Zaidao of this information and asked them to transfer quickly.
At this time, the scouts sent by Chen Zaidao also received the news because there was only a guard platoon around him, and the situation was very critical.
Chen Zaidao was not panicked, but asked the staff to count how many people there were in the command post to participate in the war. The staff quickly reported the number. He asked again how much ammunition was.
Chen Zaidao
The staff officer told him that the guards in front had a lot of ammunition on their backs, and there were also many grenades , so the quantity cannot be verified at present.
Chen Zaidao asked if the grenades were enough for all personnel to 5, and the staff immediately replied that it was more than enough. After hearing this, Chen Zaidao tightened his belt and yelled: "All the people searched the guys, just use the trenches dug by the guards to prepare to fuck him little Japanese."
At this time, everyone present was a little nervous. After all, our personnel can fight less than 60 people, and the enemy's cavalry team will probably not be able to withstand it. Therefore, everyone suggests whether to avoid the edge first. Chen Zaidao glared at the ear and said loudly, "Why are you afraid before you fight? Get ready for battle."
Since Chen Zaidao has made up his mind and is very firm, the soldiers take obeying orders as their duty. People who can fight quickly enter the trenches, and the guard platoon began to distribute weapons.
Chen Zaidao
At this moment, Liu Bocheng called again and asked if Chen Zaidao had withdrawn. The staff officer replied that no, saying that Commander Chen asked to meet the enemy here.
After hearing this, Liu Bocheng immediately got angry. The situation was so critical that the command post had no guard power, and the right way to save its strength and retreat quickly. He asked Chen Zaidao to answer the phone.
Chen Zaidao understood that once the call was answered, Commander Liu must have ordered him to evacuate, and this battle would not be possible.

However, he firmly decided in his heart to face the enemy. The main consideration was that if he did not attract this cavalry team here and instead devoted himself to the rescue of the Japanese on the front line, then the personnel on the front line would suffer significant losses. Therefore, we must firmly attract the enemy's strength here. In addition, he felt that our army was condescending and had sufficient ammunition, especially with sufficient grenades, and it was very difficult for the enemy cavalry to attack from bottom to top, so he had sufficient confidence to defeat the Japanese cavalry regiment.
He answered the phone call from the division commander Liu Bocheng. Liu Bocheng directly scolded, "Chen Zaidao, you don't want to die. I order you to withdraw quickly, otherwise you will definitely be a military law."
Chen Zaidao was about to explain his thoughts, but Liu Bocheng didn't listen at all on the phone and interrupted directly, "Don't talk nonsense, withdraw quickly and execute the order."
Liu Bocheng Chen Zaidao
Chen Zaidao heard that Liu Bocheng got angry and felt that it would be useless to explain.Instead of explaining, he said to Liu Bocheng directly: "Teacher, wait until my box cannon is opened before talking about the withdrawal." After that, he hung up the phone.
Liu Bocheng saw Chen Zaidao hung up the phone and knew that his temper was coming back, and it seemed that he could not change his determination. So he called again and told the staff that they must absolutely guarantee Chen Zaidao's safety.
Soon, the battle started. There are more enemies than I thought. However, there was no need to think too much. After exhausting all the ammunition, Chen Zaidao directly got on the bayonet and was the first to rush out of the trench and kill the Japanese. The officers and soldiers were all infected by Commander Chen's fighting spirit. Whether it was the guard platoon, the staff, or even the cooks, they fought with the enemy for bayonets. In the end, the Japanese left more than 40 corpses and fled in a panic.

Watching the enemy escape, Chen Zaidao wiped the blood from his body and asked the staff to report the situation of the battle. Good news also came from the front line, most of the enemies have been annihilated, and only a small number have escaped. Chen Zaidao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate immediately.
