In the 1940 "Hundred Regiments Offensive," Yang Chengwu, commander of the First Division of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, led his troops to eliminate over 170 Japanese soldiers from the instruction battalion at Dongtuanbao in Laiyuan County, achieving victory in the assault. After the Japanese army reoccupied Dongtuanbao, they erected a stone monument at the village head for their fallen officers, inscribing a poem "Song of Everlasting Regret" in both Japanese and Chinese on its sides. The poem expresses the sentiment that "one death is regrettable, but we could not annihilate the Eighth Route Army," indicating the Japanese army's deep resentment for their defeat stemming from Dongtuanbao. The invading Japanese army established a special stronghold at Dongtuanbao in Laiyuan, Hebei, which housed an instruction battalion. It had 170 trainees, all experienced Japanese officers and soldiers imbued with the spirit of Bushido. They were well-equipped and had ample ammunition. The fortifications were strategically located, easy to defend but hard to attack, making it a tough bone to chew for nearby Japanese bases. After the Jiexing Battle of the "Hundred Regiments Offensive" was nearing its end, Yang Chengwu set his sights on this tough stronghold. This commander, humorously referred to as a "war fanatic" by Commander Nie Rongzhen, who would get "itchy hands" if not in battle for three days, wasted no time in rushing to the frontline upon receiving approval for battle plans. He surveyed the terrain and convened officers above the battalion level to discuss the assault plan. Inside the Dongtuanbao stronghold, the handover ceremony between the old and new battalion commanders was taking place in a heated atmosphere. The new commander, Inoue, conveyed orders from the brigade commander to capture Yang Chengwu alive. The outgoing Kato stated he would not return to Japan for vacation if Yang Chengwu wasn't captured. Inoue urged Kato to reunite with his wife back in Japan, to which Kato sorrowfully replied that his beloved wife had committed suicide three years ago to allow him to fight without worries. Inoue, touched, presented a dried cherry blossom, a gift from his wife at their parting. He said that the day he marched to the battlefield, that blossom would bloom vibrantly. The two men were devoted to serving the emperor, sharing a similar determination. Meanwhile, Yang Chengwu's wife, Zhao Zhizhen, a staff officer of the Eighth Route Army and secretary of the women's committee in the local party, was meticulously sewing tiger head shoes under the lamp light. Yang Chengwu finished his journal and told his wife: "We are going to war soon, send Xiaoyisheng to Old Shao's house. They have a fortress household there, and there’s a child of the same age as Xiaoyisheng to keep him company." The assault began at night. Battalion commander Shen Liqiang insisted that his third battalion be the assault team. In the hail of bullets, the soldiers crossed the defensive ditch outside the stronghold and avoided the electric fence, quickly advancing to the frontline. The Japanese, relying on their sturdy fortifications and ample ammunition, launched a counterattack on our positions. Both sides engaged in several assaults and counterassaults, drawing even. The ruthless Japanese employed poison gas against our positions, causing severe losses to our troops. Yang Chengwu decisively ordered a halt to the attack and withdrew from the battle. Zhao Zhizhen organized the militia and civilians to urgently rescue the injured commanding officers and prepared gas masks for the troops. Chief Jiang swiftly dispatched an underground operative to contact Translator Jin to resolve the poison gas issue as soon as possible. The Japanese, under Inoue’s orders, devised cunning tactics and captured Xiaoyisheng, who was wearing tiger head shoes. What they did not know was that Old Shao's wife had put the tiger head shoes on her own child’s feet to protect Yang Chengwu's child. Translator Jin made contact with our underground workers, and the two, demonstrating wit and bravery, found the fuse for the gas shells. Our underground worker risked their life to destroy the fuse. The assault lasted three days and nights. During this time, when the Japanese reinforcements suffered successive heavy blows from our forces, they fled in disarray. Inoue and Kato, furious, ordered the soldiers to charge with bayonets; the hand-to-hand combat was fierce, and one entire platoon of our assault team was sacrificed. Yang Chengwu commanded the artillery: "Fire all the shells!" Under our army's powerful firepower, the remaining Japanese forces shrank back into the central gun tower. The tower's solid structure rendered grenades and 60mm guns ineffective. Squad leader Yu Yong, with his soldiers, attempted to approach the bunker using a bundle of over twenty grenades tied together and a ladder through the damaged fortifications. Just as they were about to stuff the explosives into the enemy bunker’s shooting holes, they were hit by Japanese fire and hung from the ladder. Battalion commander Shen, in a fit of anger, rushed up to retrieve Yu Yong’s bundle of ammunition and forcefully stuffed it into the shooting hole, even as those inside desperately pushed it back out. Battling against tears and clenching his teeth, Shen managed to push the bundle into the hole, and with a loud explosion, a side of the gun tower was blown apart. Battalion commander Shen lay in a pool of blood, having lost both arms. At this moment, a traitor trembled with a white flag, holding up a tiger head shoe and shouting towards our front lines: "The emperor has captured Yang Chengwu's daughter. As long as you withdraw your troops, we ensure the safety of the child. Otherwise, don't blame the emperor for being ruthless." Yang Chengwu clenched his fists: "Fight! We will fight resolutely!" Zhao Zhizhen and several militiamen pushed their homemade artillery to the frontline. Chief Jiang aimed and lit the fuse. With a thunderous boom, half the bunker was blown away. The Japanese, startled like startled birds, did not realize what kind of new weapon this was. In the courtyard, the Japanese started a great fire. Desperate, Inoue and Kato ordered the remaining Japanese soldiers to pledge their lives in loyalty to the emperor. Any signs of hesitation were met with immediate execution, either by direct killing or being pushed into the fire. Yang Chengwu and his soldiers charged into the courtyard to stop their brutal actions. Chief Jiang picked up Inoue’s cigarette case from the ground and handed it to Yang Chengwu; inside were dried cherry blossoms. Yang Chengwu remarked: "This cherry blossom grows splendidly on its homeland, but unfortunately now it is in the wrong place, only withering away!"
