The Battle of Honggertu
On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, after the Japanese imperialists invaded most of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, in order to realize their plan, they first took Suiyuan, then occupied North China and then destroyed the entire China. In August 1936, because of his wolfish ambition, he raised his troops to attack Honggertu for two days and nights, but failed. In October, more than 3,000 Wang Ying's puppet troops attacked Honggertu for the second time in an attempt to march to Taolin and capture Suiyuan. At that time, the defender of Honggertu was Yan Xishan, and Fu Zuoyi's Shanxi-Sui Army Zhao Chengshou cavalry attacked two A company and a half, more than 220 men, and half a machine gun company. In addition, Damiling Sulong (nicknamed "Long Beard"), the Mongolian political committee in the Suijing region and the commander of the bandit suppression of the Four Banners in Suidong, whose chief of staff is Comrade Ji Songling, a member of the Communist Party of China, leads the Mongolian cavalry to cooperate in the outer battle. On the other hand, Yi Shifang, the priest of the Catholic Church in Honggertu Village, organized more than 80 parishioners to form a local defense group and also cooperated with the troops to hold their positions.
In order to resist the invasion and occupation of Suiyuan by the Japanese and puppet troops, the Taolin County Party Committee and the government of the Communist Party of China sent two thousand migrant workers day and night for more than 40 days to build solid simple fortifications. Large blockhouses were built at the four corners of the village, and the soil from the trenches was piled on the side close to the city. The soil ridges and thick wooden boards along the trenches were used to build bunkers. A curved traffic trench was dug on the inside of the fort. In early October, it snowed heavily and the weather was cold. The enemy first sent a plane to conduct reconnaissance, and then four fighter planes bombed. At the same time, about 4,000 puppet troops launched an attack on Honggertu. The defenders of Honggertu had already Prepared for the battle, the officers and soldiers had high morale and calmly responded to the battle. They killed a large number of the attacking enemy and left numerous corpses. After a day of fierce fighting, more than a hundred enemy corpses were left in this battle. They also shot down an enemy plane with their rifles, which greatly boosted their morale. . On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, a heavy snowstorm blurred the enemy's vision and made them unable to advance. However, our army had a favorable wind and high morale. They fought hard and launched an attack. The bandits were exhausted and retreated in a hurry. The defenders took advantage of the victory and pursued the bandit's nest. A lot of military supplies were copied from the Wang Puppet Headquarters.
When Mr. Fu Zuoyi talked about this battle in 1937, he said: "The enemy numbered between 5,000 and 7,000 at that time, while our army only had more than 300 people. Compared with that, the difference was more than ten times. At the same time, the enemy had aircraft and artillery to assist in the battle, but our army only had rifles. At that time, if we considered the interests and material conditions, we would never be able to win, and Honggertu would never be able to defend it. However, in the end, victory belongs to us. , for this reason the war was the most valuable war. "
The victory of the Anti-Japanese War in Suidong greatly inspired the people of the country in their anti-Japanese struggle. People across the country donated money and materials to comfort the anti-Japanese soldiers in Suidong, and the Communist Party of China First of all, a congratulatory message was sent, praising the Suidong Anti-Japanese War as the hero of the Chinese people's resistance to Japan.

Big letters. After the war, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu sent congratulatory messages from Yan'an to congratulate the Suiyuan garrison on their anti-Japanese spirit. The famous journalist Fan Changjiang went to the battlefield to collect reports and wrote the reportage "The Magnificent Red Geer Picture" to report the heroic deeds of the anti-Japanese soldiers.
Battle of Bailing Temple
From November to December 1936 (the 25th year of the Republic of China), during the Anti-Japanese War in Suiyuan, the Chinese army counterattacked the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Bailing Temple.
After the Battle of Honggeertu in mid-November, the Japanese army was deeply afraid that the Chinese army would take advantage of the victory to destroy the puppet Mongolian regime. In addition to building fortifications and actively preparing for war, they also stationed two brigades in the Great Temple (also known as Xilin Muleng Temple, in the northwest of today's Siziwang Banner), and appointed more than 200 Japanese military officers as commanders of various ministries. To supervise the operations of the puppet Mongolian army, it is also planned to dispatch a Japanese army and a puppet Manchu army from Chifeng to Duolun, Shangdu, Bailingmiao and other places to wait for opportunities to invade the eastern and northern parts of Suiyuan. In order to crush the invasion attempt by the Japanese and puppet troops, Fu Zuoyi, Chairman of Suiyuan Province of the Chinese National Government and Commander of the 35th Army, decided to take a preemptive strike to recapture Bailing Temple with a long-distance attack. He ordered Sun Changsheng, Commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, and Sun Lan, Commander of the 211th Brigade. Feng was the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the former enemy. He led two regiments under his command, one regiment of the 70th Division, one regiment of the 2nd Cavalry Division, one battalion of mountain artillery, and one team each of small artillery, automobiles, and armored vehicles in the battle to recapture Bailing Temple. .

Since the actions of the Chinese army were extremely secretive, the Japanese and puppet troops were unaware of it and responded hastily. The Japanese spy agency Nagakatsushima Kakuyoshi personally supervised the battle in an attempt to prevent the Chinese army from attacking. By 8:00 on the 24th, except for a few people such as Katsushima Kakuyoshi and Muke Denbao who escaped, all the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. More than 300 people were killed, including more than 20 Japanese soldiers and more than 400 prisoners. On the night of December 2, more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops counterattacked towards Bailing Temple. After three hours of fighting, they defeated them and killed Lei Zhongtian, deputy commander of the Northwest Anti-Japanese Autonomous Army.

During the battle, the Chinese army killed more than 7,500 Japanese soldiers, killed and wounded more than 1,400 puppet soldiers, and captured more than 600 puppet soldiers. The victory at Bailing Temple was another victory achieved by the Chinese army since the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War in 1933.
