194 1 year, the Japanese invaders continued to "mop up" the anti-Japanese base areas in Langya Mountain area of Yixian County, Hebei Province, resulting in many terrible tragedies such as Tiangang and Dongloushan, in an attempt to "nibble" our anti-Japanese base areas with the brutal "three light" policy. On September 23rd, the Japanese army marched into Yixian in three ways in an attempt to surround the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region under the command of Commander Yang Chengwu. On the 24th, 3,500 Japanese puppet troops suddenly surrounded the Langya Mountain area, surrounded the guerrillas and the surrounding people in Qiu Xutuan, Yixian, Dingxing, Xu Shui and Mancheng counties, totaling more than 2,000 people. The situation is very serious. Colonel Qiu Wei quickly reported the situation to Commander Yang Chengwu. In order to rescue the guerrillas and local people, Commander Yang Chengwu made a battle plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and ordered the 3rd and 20th regiments to pretend to attack the Japanese troops in the critical juncture, Songshan and Ganhe areas, prompting the Japanese troops to deploy reinforcements from the northeast of Langya Mountain, so as to facilitate the besieged guerrillas and people to break through from the northeast of Langya Mountain.

The 7 th company soldiers had already laid mines on the enemy's only road, leaving more than 50 bodies behind for the Japanese puppet troops to flee in haste. Convinced that Qiu Wei's regiment was surrounded, the Japanese commander ordered his troops to attack Langya Mountain again. In the fierce battle, most of the 7 th company soldiers died, and the company commander Liu Fushan was seriously injured and his life was dying. Instructor Cai ordered the class to stay and stick to it, so that the wounded soldiers of the big army and the seventh company could be safely transferred. In order to stall and attract the Japanese puppet troops, Ma Baoyu led Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi and other five soldiers to retreat in the direction of Qipaituo while fighting, which led the Japanese puppet troops to a dead end. When they retreated above the chessboard, all the bullets had been exhausted, so they raised stones and threw them at the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese puppet troops found that there were no bullets, and rushed to the top of the mountain, shouting "Take them alive, take them alive!" Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi, Hu Delin and Hu Fucai would rather die than surrender. In order to prevent the Japanese puppet troops from seizing their weapons and falling into their hands, they smashed their guns and shouted, "Down with Japanese imperialism!" " "Long live China!"
