Each group has 3 to 4 people, and its main tasks are to reconnaise and collect situations, and control the exchanges between border residents of the two countries. In order to find out the situation of the enemy facing Tian Peng, the 4th Company entered the Tian Peng area on February 6 to carry out reconnaissance missions, and was determined to attack three working groups, Huaga, Tiyan Laozhai and Xinzhaiyue 102 Public Security Group, to capture prisoners. After the Vietnamese army was shot dead, Yu Boda, deputy political commissar of the brigade, led the main cadres of the company to use on-site observation and disguised investigation on the front 20 kilometers to collect the enemy situation in depth and extensively; at the same time, they cooperated with the Tian Peng guerrillas to make full use of the Vietnamese inside to comprehensively reconnaise the enemy situation. Li Lianlong, the captain of the Tianpeng detachment of the "Vietnam Anti-Lian-National-Salvation Guerrillas", provided important clues for the housing location, house structure, and residents in the village of Ming Huaga, including the enemy of Tiyan Laozhai and Xinzhai.

On February 25, the brigade headquarters reviewed and approved the company's combat plan.

At this time, the people in Huaga Village were drinking and quarreling, and the enemy who was guarding the high ground nearby was singing. Sun Yingpei judged that the enemy might be chatting in the fire and did not sleep.So the entire team was ordered to approach the enemy's housing and wait for action. At 2:15, an enemy hummed minor and entered the room, closing the door casually, and judging that it was an enemy sentry who went into the room to sleep or came back from visiting.

The four enemies in the room were stunned. Zhang Zhubing rushed to the bed with a single arrow, holding down the two enemies who were about to sleep with both hands. The 6th squad leader and a soldier also hugged an enemy alone. The two enemies that Zhang Zhubing held down struggled desperately, and one broke free and reached for a gun. A soldier was quick-witted and quickly hit the enemy's wrist with a flashlight. The enemy shook his hand and turned around to escape. He happened to meet another soldier head-on and was knocked to the ground by the soldier. Company Commander Sun Yingpei and Staff Wang Wenhua also rushed into the room to assist the captors in binding. After 6 minutes of fierce fighting, the enemy was subdued.

Seeing this, the company commander quickly asked Yang Xingao, deputy captain of the guerrilla detachment, to speak to the Vietnamese people, then dispersed them and quickly organized the evacuation. When our prisoner team withdrew 100 meters, the Vietnamese army fired flares in three nearby highlands, fired fire at our army, and organized pursuit. Our army set up landmines at the main intersections while retreating. At 3:40, when the prisoner arresting team retreated to the receiving team's position, the Vietnamese pursuers stepped on the mines set up by us, and two people were killed on the spot, and the rest stopped pursuing.
