He Zhuguo
On July 7, 1937, the Lugou Bridge incident broke out. At that time, He Zhuguo, who was stationed in Xianyang, was instructed to go to the northern plains of Jinbei to stand by and was included in the second theater sequence. In August 1937, in order to defend Taiyuan, He Zhuguo led a cavalry army to cross the Yellow River from Fengling, and participated in the military meeting of the second theater when passing through Taiyuan. On September 14, He Zhuguo was instructed to go north from the original Pingbei, stop the Japanese Sakai Mechanical Corps detachment from Datong to the south, and destroy the Pingsui Railway, and cooperate with the Helong Division of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. On September 17, He Zhuguo battled with the Japanese army in Jingping Town. The Japanese army suffered five to six hundred casualties. He Zhuguo suffered heavy losses. Soon after, the main force of the Japanese army went south through Shuoxian County, and the Ministry of He Zhu moved to the west of Jingping for rest.
