Datong City is located in the center of the Datong Basin in northern Shanxi Province and on the northeastern edge of the Loess Plateau. It is a famous "coal capital" in China.

The city walls are all made of regular and well-made stone strips, and the stone is based on "three-piece soil". The bricks are outsourced. The bricks are divided into large, medium and small, and the medium-sized bricks are 40 cm long, 20 cm wide, 10 cm thick, and weigh 18 kilograms, which is 7 times that of modern bricks.

The city wall is 14 meters high, and the wall is built with brick piles of 5 meters long, 0.8 meters high and 0.5 meters thick. The spacing between the piles is 0.5 meters. The pallets are 580 meters and the shooting ports, with a total of 580 meters of stacks.

There are four city gates, Heyang in the east, Yongtai in the south, Qingyuan in the west, and Wuding in the north.

There are moats on the outside of the city, about 5 meters deep and 10 meters wide, commonly known as moats. The waves ripples surround the ancient city. Suspension bridges are set up at each gate. Small cities (guard cities) are set up at the east, south and north of the city.

On September 13, 1937, the Japanese army invaded Datong. On October 15, the pseudo-'North Jin Autonomous Government' was established. It was affiliated with the pseudo-'Mongolian Autonomous State Government'.

According to the information provided by several special forces lurking in Datong City, there is currently less than one Japanese squadron in Datong City, and there are hundreds of puppet troops.

The great traitor Xia Gong served as the "Chairman of the Northern Shanxi Autonomous Government". Xia Gong was a juren of the Qing Dynasty and was in his seventies.

The Japanese, Masashima, served as the highest consultant, took charge of all political affairs, and was the Supreme Emperor of the pseudo-North Jin Autonomous Government. The policy program advocated by the autonomous government was "Thank you for the imperial army, eradicating the red bandits, promoting morality, and building a paradise". Although it is just sixteen words, its traitorous nature is very obvious.

The Japanese army in Datong did not know that the Suzuki brigade had been completely destroyed, and the Japanese army stationed in Datong and the great traitor Xia Gong and others were still in Datong and did not escape.

Hundreds of people from the Cavalry Battalion, led by battalion commander Sun Chuanzhi, rushed for several hours and reached the east gate of Datong City at noon.

At this time, Datong was still as usual, with four city gates wide open, and at each city gate there was about a platoon of puppet troops checking the people entering and leaving.

Originally, a large number of Japanese troops should have been stationed at the city wall, but since the Suzuki brigade had all attacked Zhang Yunfei's 136th Division, there was not a single Japanese at the city wall at this time, only dozens of puppet troops at the city gate.

Seeing such a good opportunity, battalion commander Sun Chuanzhi quickly instigated the war horses and ran towards the city gate.

Hundreds of horses ran together, raising large swaths of dust, and the sound of horse hooves rumbling from afar.

The dozens of puppet troops stationed at the city gate saw a large number of Eighth Route Army cavalry suddenly appearing in front of them, and hurriedly prepared to close the city gate.

The people near the city gate immediately ran away when they saw that the war was about to go.

A distance of hundreds of meters, in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen cavalry soldiers running in the front saw the puppet army closing the city gate and began to shoot without hesitation. The powerful firepower of more than a dozen AK-47 rifles immediately knocked more than 30 puppet soldiers into sieves.

It didn't take long for hundreds of people from the Cavalry Battalion to enter Datong City. Not long after entering the city, several special forces members in the city contacted the Cavalry Battalion.

Leading the special forces, the troops were divided into two groups, with the first and second cavalry companies heading straight to the Japanese command center in Datong, while the third company went to the mansion of the traitor Xia Gong, preparing to capture the traitor alive.

When the soldiers of the first and second cavalry companies attacked the Datong command center of the Japanese, they encountered the Japanese's tenacious resistance, but the cavalrymen had a great advantage in terms of numbers and weapons. In the end, three people were seriously injured and more than a dozen people were slightly injured, they wiped out the Japanese in the command center.

As for the Japanese, Shinjimaki, he was shot to death by the soldiers.

As for the Third Cavalry Company, there was basically no resistance. Seeing more than 200 fully armed Eighth Route Army soldiers, more than 100 puppet troops from the traitor's mansion directly surrendered. The Third Company occupied Xia Gong's mansion without bloodshed and captured him alive.

After occupying these two places, Datong was basically under the control of the Eighth Route Army. Before the Eighth Route Army could attack, hundreds of puppet troops in the other places heard the sound of the wind in advance and suddenly scattered.

The next morning, Zhang Yunfei's troops finally arrived in Datong City.

Looking at the towering and ancient city walls of Datong, Zhang Yunfei was deeply moved and finally recovered a big city. From then on, the north gate of Shanxi was controlled by himself.

The Japanese in Shanxi only have two ways to enter and exit Shanxi, including Zhengtai Railway or cross the Taihang Mountains.

When the troops appeared at the city gate, the people spontaneously welcomed the arrival of the Eighth Route Army. Some people even brought buns, steamed buns, tea, etc. to the soldiers to reward the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

When Zhang Yunfei rode on a tall horse, he saw the enthusiastic people, but he didn't expect that the mass base here would be so good that the development of military-civilian relations would be smooth in the future.

Zhang Yunfei walked slowly all the way, waved his hand to greet the people, and arrived at the former Japanese command center in about half an hour.

After the Datong Japanese command center was occupied yesterday, the soldiers had done a simple cleaning. All the Japanese logos were not removed, and the sign at the door was replaced with the "Command of the 136th Division of the 18th Group Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army".

The command center may have been a big house of a big landlord, with six in and six out, hundreds of houses covering an area of ​​dozens of acres, and the houses are carved beams and painted buildings, which is very grand.

Zhang Yunfei looked at the command center with satisfaction. It was much better than the command center of Xin'an County before, and it was much larger. It would be the command center of his own troops for a long time.

When you enter the command center, there are busy soldiers everywhere. The command center is too big and many places are not in a hurry to organize.

Just as Zhang Yunfei was about to go inside again, a noisy sound came from the command department, followed by a crackling sound of firecrackers.

Zhang Yunfei walked to the command department and saw that it turned out that hundreds of ordinary people were carrying a big fat pig full of ribbons under the leadership of several old men to reward and thank Zhang Yunfei's Eighth Route Army.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei arrived at the door, an old man in his seventies led by the leader, leaning on a crutch, walked to Zhang Yunfei slightly and said, "You are Commander Zhang!"

Zhang Yunfei nodded gently.

The old man excitedly said to Zhang Yunfei: "Teacher Zhang, I, on behalf of nearly one million fellow villagers in Datong, thank you for helping us eliminate all evil Japanese devils. You don't know what kind of life we ​​people live under the Japanese devil's rule. The little Japanese burned, killed, looted, and my two sons died tragically under the little devil's bayonet."

After saying that, the old man burst into tears and prepared to bow to Zhang Yunfei for thanking him.

Zhang Yunfei, who was quick-witted and quickly supported the old man and said, "We are late and let the people suffer. I, Zhang Yunfei, swear that from now on, the people of Datong will never be harmed by the Japanese again."

A burst of thunderous applause sounded, and the people gathered around him heard Zhang Yunfei's loud promise, and couldn't help but hold their hands in unison.

Zhang Yunfei, whose glasses were a little wet, turned around and entered the command center. Faced with such sincere and simple common people, Zhang Yunfei was afraid that he would not be able to control it.
