Wang Ruichen participated in the Battle of Jiunuquan, and the second battalion was awarded the title of "Second Battalion of Fierce Tigers". On September 14, 1939, in order to cover the rest of the 115th Division in the area of Jiunuquan in the second district of Dongping County, the second battalion of the six detachments was ordered to enter the vicinity of Jiunuquan to take up vigilance tasks. On the same day, more than 500 Japanese puppet troops in Dongping, Dong'a and other counties, under the command of the Commander of the Japanese Army stationed in Dongping, Sanyuan, attacked the village of Jiunuquan from north to south. At dawn on the 15th, the puppet army attacked the second battalion's garrison luoquan cliff from DingQuan (now Dingquan). Starting from 9:00 a.m., the commanders and fighters fought bitterly for more than four hours, pursuing the enemy for more than twenty miles, the sun was hot, the water did not drip, some soldiers lost their precious lives due to heat stroke coma and no water to rescue them, and the battalion headquarters led the organization of seven companies to send spring water. At more than 13 o'clock, the fifth company began to attack Nanshan, the sixth company detoured to the south of the sky, the fighters of the five companies attacking Nanshan covered each other and alternately advanced, the fifth company commander Xia Shulin, the instructor Wu Zhidu commanded the machine gun squad to cover the fighters to advance to more than thirty meters from the peak, surrounded the enemy on three sides, and engaged in white-knife fighting with the enemy, the remnants of the enemy had to retreat down the mountain, fled to dong'a county town, the headquarters bit down, and chased all the way to dong'a city, and the battle ended at 4:30 p.m.

The Ninth Daughter Springs blocked the battle, the second battalion stubbornly blocked the enemy for eight hours, repelled seven consecutive enemy attacks, killed more than 20 Japanese troops, more than 60 puppet troops, covered the safe transfer of the 115th Division, and successfully completed the task of blocking. The soldiers of the second battalion suffered more than twenty casualties. The people of the Ping'a Mountains praised the heroic deeds of the troops everywhere, and they admired the second battalion very much, praising it as the "second battalion of the fierce tiger", because the battalion commander's surname was Hu, and some of them also affectionately called it "Hu 2 battalion". 【5】

In September 1939, Wang Ruichen and the second battalion of the six branches annihilated the Qian Zanchen regiment in the Huangpo area of the Ping'a Mountains, which did not fight devils, specialized in friction, sabotaged anti-Japanese activities, and blindly looted the people's wealth and nicknamed "Qian Jiu Tuan", expanding the base area of the Ping'a Mountains.

In late November 1939, more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops from five counties, including Ningyang, Wenshang, Dongping, Dong'a, and Feicheng, conducted a "sweep" of the anti-Japanese base areas in the Taifei and Ping'a mountains. The battalions of the detachment resolutely carried out anti-"sweeping", and the fierce battle lasted for a week, and finally repelled the enemy who attacked from all sides, killing and wounding more than 200 enemy and puppets, and surrendering more than 70 guns.

In late November 1939, with the cooperation of the Dongping County Independent Battalion, the first unit of the Dongjin Detachment smashed the "sweep" of the Japanese puppet army in the five counties of Tai'an, Feicheng, Pingyin, Changqing, and Dongping in the area of Jinshankou and Xinzhuang in the third district, and all left Dongping and drove to Lunan.

From March 1939 to November 1939, the Dongjin Detachment of the 115th Division, in the nearly ten months that it was stationed in Dongping, was a period of great development in Dongping's work of party building, government building, army building, and democracy movement; they laid the foundation for the creation of three anti-Japanese base areas in Taixi, Ping'a, and Dafengshan to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. It has laid a solid foundation for establishing and consolidating the anti-Japanese base area in Dongping County and written an important chapter in the anti-Japanese struggle in Dongping County. 【9】

On December 8, 1939, Wang Ruichen accompanied six detachments and two battalions to encircle and suppress the reactionary organization of the Feicheng Red Gun Society. In the Taixi region, the Red Gun Society (also known as the Big Knife Society and the Yellow Sand Society) existed in almost every village, and many Red Gun Clubs became allies of the Anti-Japanese Resistance, but a small number of Red Gun Clubs were used by the Japanese and pseudo-Japanese and embarked on a reactionary road. Beginning in early December 1939, Wang Ruichen was dispatched with the second battalion of six detachments to the north and south of the fourth district of Feicheng, and was ordered to cooperate with the independent battalion of Feicheng County. On the 8th, the two battalions of the six detachments surrounded and suppressed the local Red Gun Society reactionary organization in guliu, Weijiafang village, and Fozhuang (Fuzhuang), completely bankrupting the japanese puppet army's plot to manipulate the red gun society against the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army, and the anti-Japanese democratic government.

In January 1940, the Pingyin County Senate Office was established. Huang Jinsan, Zou Kanghou and Liu Hongyou are senators.

On January 10, 1940, more than 5,000 enemies in Tai'an, Changqing, Pingyin, Jinan and other places attacked the Dafeng Mountains in five ways. Facing a well-equipped and strong enemy, the six detachments adopted tactics such as detours, interspersed, and internal and external attacks, and successively repelled the enemies who attacked from all directions. A total of more than 110 Japanese puppet troops were killed and wounded, thirteen were captured, more than 30 spears and 3 warhorses were obtained. 【13】
