On the evening of January 1, 1942, more than 500 commanders and fighters from the QING Taixu, Yutaiqi County PARTY Committee and County Government, the Seventh Specialized Office, the Fourth Guerrilla Brigade of the Qingtaixu Guerrilla Brigade, and the Pistol Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army were stationed in a place called Xiaoloufeng Village in Jiaodong County, Shanxi Province, where there were more than 100 households. The purpose of the troops coming here is to prepare for an enlarged meeting of party and government cadres in the Seven Special Regions, to reorganize the troops according to the instructions of their superiors, and at the same time to study and deploy how to carry out the struggle against the Japanese devils in the next step.
After the troops were stationed, the troops responsible for guarding and guarding immediately controlled the main road into and out of the village, and contacted the activists in the village, who warmly welcomed the Eighth Route Army to the station, and introduced that the people living in the village were poor people, who were deeply oppressed by the Japanese devils, and had long been looking forward to the Arrival of the Eighth Route Army. When the troops came in, the enthusiasm shown by the people in the village also made the Eighth Route Army feel their enthusiasm, so the vigilance was relaxed a lot.
On the morning of January 2, a farmer, driving a small donkey, was carrying charcoal on it and was about to enter the village. The sentry conducted a strict interrogation, and this peasant was very familiar with the situation in the village, and several fellow villagers were found to ask if they knew each other, and the villagers all said that they knew, that is, the charcoal sellers, often came. In this way, the sentry let the peasant into the village. After the farmer entered the village, the head of the village walked back and forth several times, and the charcoal did not sell a pound, and it was almost noon, and he left. As he walked, he also nagged with the eight-way sentry for a while.
Who would have thought that this peasant was actually a traitor agent sent by the Japanese army to investigate the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army? He walked back and forth several times at the head of the village, and remembered the residence of the Eighth Route Army clearly. That night, more than 200 Japanese troops, carrying 2 heavy machine guns, 6 light machine guns, and grenadiers, rushed to Gujiao Town by car overnight, joined the more than 300 Japanese puppet troops stationed in Gujiao, and directly attacked Xiaoloufeng Village.
At dawn on January 3, this group of devils and puppet troops, unknowingly surrounded xiaoloufeng village, and occupied the commanding heights of the high mountain behind the village, when the troops entered the village, they were discovered by the sentries of the Eighth Route Army, the battle began quickly, more than 500 Eighth Route Army, although there are two units of the 1st and 20th Division pistol teams with extremely strong combat effectiveness and the Qingtaixu Guerrilla Fourth Brigade, they are not more than 200 people, in the rush to fight, but also have to protect the non-combatants of the county party committee and county government and special office organs, as a result, heavy losses, 32 cadres, The soldiers died heroically, Xiao Jing, secretary of the Qingtaixu County CPC Committee, Li Xiao, commissioner of the Seventh Specialized Office, and more than sixty other people were wounded; Sun Fa, the first company of the Fourth Guerrilla Brigade of the Qingtaixu Guerrilla Brigade, and 30 others were captured.
