Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At the end of May 1934, the Sichuan Army Chen Wanqian Huang Regiment gathered the remnants of the Huolongping Regiment to besiege Jinjiadong, when the main force of the Independent Regiment was guerrilla in the Daluba area, and there were only more than 20 soldiers led by Feng Yifa in Jinjiadong, and some of them were wounded. On the one hand, Feng Yifa organized troops to hold on to the danger, and on the other hand, he sent people to report to the main force of the independent regiment. The Independent Regiment hurried back to Huolongping to rescue. When the enemy saw the return of the main force of the independent regiment, he knew that it was not good to please, so he retreated to the county seat of Qianjiang.

On 16 June, the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Hubei Security Regiment gathered more than 1,000 people from the Lichuan Dasha River Fei Wenwen and Chen Wanxuan to take advantage of the guerrilla attacks of the main force of the Independent Regiment to besiege Jinjiadong again. Feng Yifa led more than 30 soldiers to defend the entrance of the cave, facing an enemy dozens of times his size, fighting stubbornly. The enemy strafed the entrance with machine guns at the upper part of the cave entrance and bombarded it with artillery at Niuchangping on the opposite side, making the slightest progress for three consecutive days and three nights, and Jinjiadong was firmly controlled by the Red Army.

The insidious and cunning enemy's attack was ineffective, changed the attack strategy, used burning dry firewood, chili peppers, etc. to throw into the hole, and forced the houses of the surrounding people to be demolished and set fire to the outside, because most of the wood of the houses of the common people who were demolished had more than ten years of time, it was really dry firewood, and people one or two miles away could try the roasting degree of the fire, the first horse gate in the Jinjia Cave was burned down, and the Red Army soldiers had to retreat to the cave. But the terrible thing was that the smoke poured into the second gate and extended into the cave, and the Red Army soldiers had to move deeper with part of the people inside the cave.

In the evening of the same day, the Red Army soldiers and the masses broke through the encirclement by placing hanging ropes from the tail hole, and then took advantage of the night to move to Maoba and Zhongtang to join the main force of the independent regiment. In this battle, the Red Army lost Jinjiadong, two Red Army soldiers were killed, five people including Liu Guangguang, a guard at the regiment headquarters, were floated and brutally killed by the enemy, and the wife of Wang Wenchen, the captain of the Independent Brigade, was stimulated and frightened into mental illness.

After the fall of Jinjiadong, the independent brigade was stationed in Heiyanjiao, which is also a karst cave on the cliff wall. Soon after the independent brigade was stationed, it was besieged by the enemy, and at this time, only one Red Army commissioner, a master surnamed Luo, and a few wounded and sick Red Army soldiers remained in the cave, and the rest were all the family members of Wang Wenchen, the leader of the independent brigade. Seeing that his family was not protected and his family property was about to suffer, Wang Wenchen, the captain of the Independent Brigade, rushed to Zhongtang in the dark to ask for help from the Independent Brigade. At that time, the Independent Regiment was besieged and pursued by the First Brigade of the New Third Brigade of Hubei Security, and it was in many predicaments, and it was difficult to draw troops to rescue the Independent Brigade. Therefore, the working committee decided to let Wang Wenchen lead the independent brigade to attack and harass the enemy in the surrounding cave from the periphery, and after the independent regiment got rid of the enemy's new third brigade, it would turn to Heiyanjiao and relieve the siege of Heiyanjiao.

Wang Wenchen, the captain of the Independent Brigade, was extremely dissatisfied with the decision of the Working Committee and said angrily: "I am disappointed to cooperate with you in this way!" ”

Wang Wenchen is a native of Huolongping, the family has nine brothers, was originally one of the four families of Huolongping Tan, Leng, Wang, and Qin, but in the battle with other three families, the power gradually fell behind, in order to consolidate the family's power in Huolongping, after the Red Army arrived in Huolongping, Wang Wenchen took the initiative to find the Red Army, to cooperate with the Red Army, in fact, Wang Wenchen's wishful thinking, is to use the power of the Red Army to fight the forces of the other three families.

After Wang Wenchen returned to Huolongping, the enemy saw that Heiyanjiao was difficult to break for a while, so he soon withdrew, however, Wang Wenchen had the heart to rebel against the Red Army.

On July 1, 1934, Wang Wenchen and his brother Wang Xichen conspired to kill the Red Army commissioner Tian and Master Luo, who had firmly followed the Red Army, as well as several wounded and sick Red Army soldiers at Heiyan Kok, and kept the news tightly sealed.

On 4 July, the Echuan Border District Independent Regiment arrived at Huolongping. Regiment Commander Liu Hanqing and Political Commissar Hua Shuntao rushed to Heiyanjiao with four Red Army soldiers to discuss the military situation with the Independent Brigade.

Commander Liu and Political Commissar Hua did not know that Wang Wenchen had defected, Regiment Commander Liu was in front, Political Commissar Hua and four Red Army soldiers were behind, and Regiment Commander Liu climbed the hanging ladder from the entrance of the cave in Heiyanjiao and just arrived at the entrance of the cave, and was arrested by Wang Wenchen and others. Political commissar Hua Shuntao and four Red Army soldiers wanted to rush to the rescue, but a burst of strafing and grenades were thrown out of the hole, and political commissar Hua Shuntao and two Red Army soldiers died on the spot.

The bad news reached the Independent Regiment, and all the commanders and fighters were indignant, and the Independent Regiment quickly marched to Black Rock Point. Since the regiment commander Liu Hanqing was in the hands of the enemy, he had to negotiate with Wang Wenchen, as long as the safety of the regiment commander Liu Hanqing was guaranteed, the Red Army would not attack Heiyanjiao.

On 6 July, the two sides reached an agreement that Wang Wenchen agreed to release the regiment commander Liu Hanqing and that the Red Army would not attack Heiyanjiao. Wang Wenchen also demanded that the Red Army must be withdrawn before he released the regiment commander Liu Hanqing.

In order to fulfill its promise, the independent regiment launched guerrilla attacks in the areas of large villages and small villages, with Mao Ziying acting as the head of the regiment and Feng Yifa as the political commissar.

On 22 July, regiment commander Liu Hanqing escaped under the cover of the masses and went to the village via Ganzhuuping and Xinerping, where he returned to the independent regiment and succeeded him as regiment commander. This rebellion of King Wenchen of Black Rock Corner is known as the "Black Rock Corner Incident" in history.

On 25 July, the Independent Regiment learned that a group of 100 members of Xue Zhixuan's Regiment of the New Third Brigade of the enemy was stationed in the market town of Da Shui Ping, and decided to destroy this enemy by surprise, so it assembled near Da Shui Ping overnight. The next day, some soldiers disguised themselves as ordinary people who were rushing to the market to infiltrate the hinterland of the army, attacked inside and outside, and the independent regiment won a complete victory, killing five enemies, capturing seven prisoners, and seizing more than ten guns.

After the battle of Da Shui Ping, the enemy retaliated frantically, and on July 30, the independent regiment arrived at Jianshan Temple. More than 1,000 people from the 1st and 2nd Enemy Security Regiments and the Xianfeng Security Squadron approached the Independent Regiment. Mao Ziying, who was the chief of staff of the Independent Regiment at the time, misjudged the enemy's situation, believing that the enemy was still far away from the Independent Regiment and that the enemy would not advance further after dark, and insisted on camping in Daping behind Jianshan Temple.

In the middle of the night, gunfire broke out at the foot of the hill, shouts of killing were everywhere, and the enemy had already surrounded the independent regiment.

It turned out that the first and second security regiments had rushed over from the hand climbing rock across the Tangya River. Yan Xizhi's division of the Xianfeng Security Squadron blocked the retreat of the Independent Regiment with firepower from Majiapo, and the Independent Regiment rushed to meet the battle in the dark of night and was forced to go to the monkey trough, which was a cliff dozens of zhang high in front of the monkey trough, and the enemy rushed up while shouting and firing guns in the back. The situation is critical. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were united in great sincerity, dividing their troops to block the enemy, while taking off their clothes and twisting them into ropes, and sliding down the cliffs one by one to break out of the encirclement.

In the battle of Jianshan Temple, the independent regiment suffered huge losses, most of the new soldiers of the Red Army were scattered, all the mules and horses were lost, all the prisoners ran out, and the independent regiment was sharply reduced from more than 700 to about 400 people.

After the war, the working committee held a meeting to criticize Mao Ziying's subjective assumptions and mistakes, and to review his past performance, believing that Mao Ziying had ill intentions and was detained as a "Kuomintang reorganization faction" and handed over to the custody of the special task force. The time decided to reduce the seven brigades under the jurisdiction of the independent regiment to three brigades.

In mid-August 1934, the Independent Regiment learned that dozens of guns from the Licheon County Security Squadron were holding in Icheon Maoba, so they quietly moved towards Maoba from Dacun. Liu Hanqing and Feng Yifa took all the way to the entrance of the market town, and Fu Zaixian (the political commissar of a large group of independent regiments) took all the way from the rocks to enter the market town, wanting to take a flanking attack, but on this day, the Maoba market town was in the market, and the Red Army soldiers were afraid of accidentally injuring the common people, so they did not dare to let go of the battle, so they gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, and most of the enemy fled in the direction of Shaba. Political commissar Feng Yifa was unfortunately shot when he commanded the soldiers to pursue the enemy, and due to the lack of medical treatment, he died in Zhongtang Lianxi and was buried in Zhongtang Lianxi after the sacrifice.

In this battle, Captain Zeng of the Icheon County Security Squadron burned opium cigarettes in a resident's home, was captured alive by the Independent Regiment and executed.

Since the withdrawal of the Independent Regiment from Jinjiadong and Heiyanjiao, it has been carrying out its struggle with small villages and large villages as guerrilla centers. In mid-November 1934, the 2nd Security Regiment, which was stationed in Xianfeng, gathered more than 700 members of the county security squadron and reactionary regiments to carry out "encirclement and suppression" of small villages, large villages, and large gathering places. The independent regiment met Yan Xizhi's security squadron in the small village, and the two armies camped across the river that night. At midnight, in order to confuse the enemy, the independent regiment added bonfires to attract the enemy, while the troops quietly moved to Omura and ambushed in the valley of Longshengtang. The next day, Yan Xizhi's troops rushed across the river to attack the independent regiment, but they were in vain. Yan Xizhi was anxious, ordered the troops to pursue Omura, when the enemy entered the pocket formation laid by the independent regiment, the independent regiment unexpectedly hit a fierce blow, caught the enemy off guard, killed dozens of enemies, Yan Xizhi hurriedly led his troops to flee into a large pillbox of Zhu Haifeng, the regimental defense of Omura, only to avoid the annihilation of the whole army.

In December, Zhao Yunwu, the head of the security guard stationed in Enshi Daji, led his troops to the small village to "encircle and suppress" the independent regiment, and then pounced, and the independent regiment took the initiative to evacuate the small village after learning the news, and returned to the enemy's rear, rushed to the large market, took Zhao Yunwu's lair, and seized a large number of materials.

By the end of 1934, the Independent Regiment was besieged by the reactionary forces of Icheon and Xianfeng, and the Independent Regiment was attacked by the enemy. Soon after, it was learned that the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps had established a revolutionary base area in Xiangxi, and the Working Committee held a meeting in Li Zixi to decide to choose the right time, break out of the encirclement, and move closer to the Xiangxi base area.

On 1 February 1935, the Independent Regiment returned to Dacun after guerrilla operations outside the country and joined up with the "Dacun Guerrilla Brigade" led by Wei Guangkuan and Chuan Zhonghai. On 9 February, the Independent Regiment arrived at Lizixi and sent people to Zhangjiayuan, Xiaocun, and other places to get in touch with the "Lizixi Guerrilla Brigade" led by Zhao Guoen and Wang Huaiting and the "Xiaocun Guerrilla Brigade" led by Xie Zucheng and Zhen Kaiping, and asked the two guerrilla brigades to make preparations and rendezvous at Dacun on 20 February.

Just as the independent regiment was making preparations for the evacuation of Xianfeng in an orderly manner, the enemy's new 3rd Brigade gathered more than 1,000 reactionary regiments to defend Dacun, Xiaocun, and Tianba, and pounced on Dacun, Xiaocun, and Lizixi. On 18 February, more than 400 regimental defense forces launched a strong attack on the guerrilla brigade led by Wei Guangkuan and Chuan Zhonghai. On the 19th, the New Third Brigade approached Lizixi, the garrison of the Independent Regiment, and the Independent Regiment retreated to Zhaojiapo in the face of a strong enemy, and counterattacked according to the danger. On the same day, Wei Guangkuan led the Omura guerrilla brigade to attack the cave of Zhu Taigen by making a detour through Longtan Creek with a sub-enemy several times his own who were attacking head-on. Just as several guerrillas climbed up to the entrance of the cave, gunshots rang out in the cave, and Wei Guangkuan's fourth son, Wei Ding'an, was shot and fell off the cliff, dying a heroic death.

Before his son's body could be buried, Wei Guangkuan received another order from the Independent Regiment to move the guerrilla brigade to the Zhaojiapo area and join the Independent Regiment. Wei Guangkuan and political commissar Fu Zhonghai led the guerrilla brigade to Zhaojiapo and moved closer to the independent regiment, Wei Guangkuan and Fu Zhonghai immediately launched an attack on the New Third Brigade with the guerrilla brigade, and the guerrilla brigade and the independent regiment fought fiercely for two days and one night, and finally defeated the New Third Brigade and smashed the enemy's "encirclement and suppression."

On the evening of the 21st, the Independent Regiment arrived at Lichuan and Jiabi, and the guerrilla brigades of Wei Guangkuan and Fu Zhonghai were incorporated into the Independent Regiment sequence. On the 22nd, they arrived at the Icheon Shanri Dam. On the 23rd, after defeating the harassment of the Icheon security team, they arrived at the Enshi Grand Gathering Center, and immediately eliminated the security team stationed at the large assembly and seized more than 20 guns. In the early morning of the 24th, the Independent Regiment broke through the enemy's defensive line at the Malu River and turned towards Baiguoba. On the 25th, he entered Xuan'en, encountered the enemy security team at Lijiahe, defeated the security team, and captured two guns. On the 26th, the independent regiment arrived at the famous brand cave of Longshan, Hunan, and captured the head of the Longshan Security Regiment, and on the 27th, it arrived at the Longxi River in Sangzhi, Hunan, and joined the Red Sixth Army. At that time, the independent regiment had 353 officers and men, and 144 long and short guns. On November 4, 1935, the Independent Regiment was organized into the 13th Regiment of the 5th Division of the 2nd Red Army Corps, with Liu Hanqing as the commander, Chen Shicai as the political commissar, and Wei Guangkuan as the secretary of the regiment headquarters.

When the Independent Regiment withdrew from Xianfeng, the Xiaocun Guerrilla Brigade was unable to realize its plan to evacuate with the Independent Regiment due to the "encirclement and suppression" of the reactionary regimental defense of the small village. Zhao Guoen, the commander of the Li Zixi Guerrilla Brigade, did not carry out the order to withdraw from Xianfeng with the Independent Regiment, and the Independent Regiment defected on the third day after its departure.

After Tian Limai finished speaking, he said: "This is the red story of Jinjiadong, the independent regiment of the Echuan border area was established in Jinjiadong, and once carried out revolutionary armed struggle with this place as the center, but later because the reactionary forces were too strong, they had to evacuate Xianfeng. ”

As soon as Tian Limai finished speaking, Tan Fengguo took the lead in clapping, so everyone applauded.

After the applause, Tan Fengguo said: "Xiao Tian, your memory is really good, you remember the story of the Echuan Border District Independent Regiment so clearly, especially those times and places, as well as numbers, you are like a treasure, it is really a good memory!" (To be continued.) )
