On April 1938 and 12, Dou Laigeng led volunteers to launch a fierce attack on Linqu City and Beiguanting, and fought fiercely with the Japanese puppet troops for more than two hours, beating the Japanese invaders to flight, and the Japanese army abandoned the city and fled, losing to Yidu. Linqu City returned to the hands of Linqu people, which was the first victory in Linqu's anti-Japanese history. However, the Japanese invaders did not stop there. 1938 On the morning of May 24th (April 25th of the lunar calendar), 7,800 Japanese troops and more than 3,000 puppet troops, under the cover of planes and artillery, invaded Linqu City and retaliated against the volunteers in two ways. The volunteers held the commanding heights of Sushan and Gengshan to stop the Japanese army, and the volunteers who held the south gate killed and injured more than 30 Japanese puppet troops. After the fall of Lushan Mountain and Sushan Mountain, the volunteers held the county town together, repelled the Japanese puppet troops several times, and killed the Japanese commander 1 person. Unable to attack the city, the Japanese concentrated their forces to seize the second floor of Yutaihang's firm outside the south gate as the commanding height. With the cooperation of the plane, they bombed the south gate with artillery and machine guns. Dou Laigeng personally led the team to defend the south gate. After the Japanese army entered the south gate, the volunteers resisted along the street. Then the north gate of the county town fell, and the volunteers were attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, causing heavy casualties. Due to the large number of Japanese puppet troops, excellent equipment and heavy casualties of volunteers, Dou Laigeng was forced to lead a team to highlight the North Gate and withdraw from Linqu County. Volunteer troops crossed the Mihe River and entered the mountainous area to rest, and the Japanese army reoccupied Linqu County. The battle of Linqu City lasted from the early hours of the morning to 3 pm, killing a total of Japanese commanders 1 men and more than 70 Japanese puppet troops, which is an indelible record in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Linqu.

During this period, the propaganda program of "cooperation between the state and Dou Laigeng, and cooperation between the state and China" was echoed by Brigadier Dou.
