Chapter 9: The Legendary Feud of Wulongyu (Part II)
This time, Chen Deda hit a hard bone. Bai Deli's Mingshui County Anti-Japanese and Communist Party Brigade was equipped with improved equipment, and after encountering an attack, it relied on the artillery tower of the Bai family compound to counterattack, and the three machine guns rattled and screamed, sealing Chen Deda's attack route.
Chen Deda has rich combat experience, and he came to fight Wulongyu just to harass him, so that the people know that Wulongshan District is not the world of the Bai family, and the Eighth Route Army is still here. Therefore, as soon as there is a counterattack, he immediately leads the team to evacuate.
What Chen Deda didn't expect was that as soon as he retreated, not only Bai Deli's Mingshui County Anti-Japanese and Communist Party Brigade rushed after him, but the rebel troops stationed nearby also moved to outflank here.
When he retreated to Tonghuajia Village, which was six miles away from Wulongyu, Bai Deli personally led his team to catch up.
Bai Deli shouted loudly: "Listen to the second child of the Chen family, the old man respects you as a good man, and you can not blame the past." As long as you surrender with your gun, I will marry my daughter to you, let you marry Mingmei, and continue the incense for your old Chen family. If you don't know how to be interested, today is the day when your old Chen family's incense is extinct, don't scold the old man for being ruthless when he dies, and don't talk about the affection of the villagers. ”
During the period of Chen Deda's activities, Bai Deli already knew that his baby girl was in the second team of the Chen family.
Chen Deda is not Guo Deqing, it is impossible to fall for Bai Deli, and what answered Bai Deli was a gunshot.
Bai Deli gave up and ordered machine guns and rifles to fight to the death.
Chen Deda broke off his own cover and ordered Edelweiss and his team to retreat, as long as they got into the mountains and forests.
To Chen Deda's surprise, White Edelweiss not only did not withdraw, but stood up and shouted loudly: "Dad, do you have to kill your daughter and son-in-law?" You won't let us go? ”
Without saying a word, Bradley's machine gunner fired a bullet, and several blood flowers burst out of Edelweiss's chest and fell to the ground.
The gunfire stopped as soon as it stopped!
Chen De panicked, rolled to the side of Edelweiss and took a look, the big beautiful eyes were hollow, and there was no snort. Chen Deda's eyes were full of tears, he reached out to cover Edelweiss's eyes, and after a while, he felt that his eyelids were a little warm, so he closed Edelweiss's eyes and shouted, "Bai Deli, you old bastard, even kill your own daughter!" You wait for Lao Tzu, I won't kill you, I swear not to be a man! After shouting, Chen Deda rolled over several times and withdrew along a mountain trench.
Bai Deli didn't think about killing his own daughter, but as soon as Edelweiss stood up, the already tattered military uniform indicated the target for the machine gunner, and the machine gunner didn't think twice, and directly set fire.
Watching his baby girl being knocked down by a machine gun, he gasped and sat down on the ground.
Edelweiss died at the hands of his father's gun, and the struggle in Wulong Mountain continued. When the independent regiment returned to the Ningshui and Mingshui areas from the east to quell the rebellion, Chen De Da and the main force converged.
At that time, the situation of the struggle was complicated, and after our army launched a counterinsurgency operation, those rebels were naturally beaten in an uproar. However, our army failed to consolidate the Ningshui and Mingshui areas, and Hu Zongnan's troops came from Xijing to reinforce them. The little devil has not surrendered yet, our army cannot fight with the south of Hu Zong, and it can't be defeated, and the Mingshui and Ningshui areas have re-become a guerrilla zone where the Japanese army, our army, and **** are intertwined.
After the little devils surrendered, it was not until the later stage of the Liberation War that our army advanced into the Shuiquan and Gudu areas, and the Wulong Mountain area was liberated. Chen Deda, who became the first head of the Longwan District People's Government, personally signed a proclamation to shoot Bai Deli and his three sons, whose hands were covered with blood debts, who were captured. The Bai family's land and property were also distributed to poor peasants in the land reform.
It doesn't end there.
After liberation, Chen Deda, who became the head of the district, also married a wife and had children, and his family settled in the old house in Wulongyu Village.
The Baijia Compound is the most magnificent building in Wulong Mountain, with seven five-entry courtyards, and two cross-courtyards in the east and west.
During the land reform and subdivision, the villagers all proposed that the Bai family's compound should be assigned to Chen Deda to live in, and Chen Deda laughed. He had a family in Wulongyu, although the Chen family later fell, but it was also a big family of eight uncles and brothers, and although the house was broken, the yard was big enough. Chen Deda was reluctant to leave the old courtyard, where there was the breath of his Chen family for several generations.
The Bai family's compound is too bloody. When the land reform was divided into houses, no one dared to live in the villagers, and the people who moved in had a headache and brain fever, so they all ran to burn incense and kowtow under the big cypress tree on the hill in the east of the village, asking for the blessing of the mountain god and grandfather, so that the feudal superstitious activities in Wulong Mountain had a rising trend. Some Shenhan witches took the opportunity to talk nonsense, saying that the feng shui of the Bai family's compound was wrong, built on the dragon's mouth of the five dragons, whoever lived in it was unlucky, and it was not bad luck, it was bad luck, it was bad blood, and it was impossible for the family to die. In this way, several families who originally lived in the Bai family's compound moved out one after another, and when they met, they said that they dreamed of the old shopkeeper and the young shopkeeper when they went to bed at night, saying that they would die if they occupied his family's house.
Chen Deca was full of guts, he didn't believe in that evil at all, and simply designated the Bai family compound as the brigade headquarters of Wulongyu Village, organized the villagers to tear down the turret at the door, and searched out a lot of Kuomintang fiat currency from the wall of the turret, and the children in the village played with it, which was rare.
Of course, the brigade headquarters occupies the main courtyard where the Bradley family lives. It turned out that the four cross-courtyards where the long-term workers lived, the self-defense regiment, and Chen Deda's cousins and nephews lived were all distributed to the poor families in the village. These side courtyards do not have such a heavy smell of blood, and the villagers who are assigned to them are all happy and have no superstitions.
Chen Deda works in the Longwan District Government and goes home for a few days every month, and his work and life are smooth, which can be regarded as a taste of the joy of liberation.
The good times did not last long, and when it came to the time of the three anti and five anti, the ancient capital prefecture, which combined the ancient capital and the water spring, sent a team led by a bureau chief to live in Mingshui City to guide the three anti and five anti movements in Mingshui.
At this time, Bai Xueying, the second lady of the Bai family, had already married and lived in Hougou Village in Wulongyu.
The women of the Bai family are good-looking.
Bai Xueying is not the daughter of Bai Deli, but the only daughter of a cousin who died young, and was raised by Bai Deli since she was a child, and received the same good education as Bai Xueweiss. When the land was rezoned, because Bai Xueying's father died early and did not leave her any property and land, Bai Xueying was designated as a poor peasant.
Bai Xueying and her cousin Edelweiss are famous sister flowers in Wulong Mountain. Today, Edelweiss has been buried in the Longwan Martyrs' Cemetery, and Bai Deli and his three sons were not buried after being suppressed, but stored in a broken cave in an uninhabited village not far from Wulongyu, and the cave door was sealed with adobe. As soon as Bai Xueying thought of her uncle, three cousins, and the glory of the Bai family's compound in the past, she couldn't sleep, and she was bent on revenge.
When the opportunity came, Zhang Yantang, the head of the working group of the ancient capital area, went to Wulongyu when he went to the countryside to visit the poor and ask about the hardships, and was attracted by the good mountains and rivers here, so he stayed for a few more days, and then carried out the activities of visiting the poor and asking about the hardships. By chance, Team Leader Zhang went to Bai Xueying's house. This is over, Bai Xueying, a well-educated and beautiful poor peasant woman, resorted to tricks, and immediately fascinated Team Leader Zhang. The working group did not go back to Mingshui City, but went directly to the grassroots level, lived in Hougou Village, and the phone call also reached Bai Xueying's house, and Zhang Yantang, the team leader, worked directly on Bai Xueying's kang.
After going back and forth, Zhang Yantang, the leader of the group, finally discovered a new trend in the class struggle in Wulongshan District, that is, the landlord elements counterattacked the poor peasants, based on the fact that the daughter-in-law of the production captain of Hougou Village once went to Bai Xueying's house to ask for a clay pot. This clay pot was divided by Bai Xueying's family from the landlord's family, and the daughter-in-law of the production captain was the daughter of the landlord's family.
Based on this analysis, Zhang Yantang, the leader of the group, asked why the landlord elements in the Wulong Mountains were so rampant and dared to counterattack the poor peasants? The answer is that they have a backstage. This backstage is the cadre team that was captured by the landlord class composed of the branch secretaries and captains of several brigades in Wulongshan District, and the general backstage of this cadre team is Chen Deda, the head of Longwan District. Because Chen Deda's wife is also the daughter of a landlord's family, she also went to school, and she is literate and hyphenated, so she can fan the yin wind and light the yin fire in Chen Deda's ears.
The report of team leader Zhang Yantang crossed Longwan District and Mingshui County and was directly reported to the Gudu Prefecture, and soon as an important development was placed on the table of the provincial and regional leaders, and one by one the instructions were given, and the sensational Bai Xueying case in Mingshui was born.
Chen Deda, who was working in the position of district chief, and the branch secretaries and captains of the five brigades in Wulongshan District were all thrown into prison. Newspapers and radio stations in the provincial capital and newspapers in the ancient capital all reported on Bai Xueying's case one after another.
After several interrogations of Bai Xueying's case, the branch secretary of Wulongyu and the branch secretary of the other two brigades died in prison, and Chen Deda was convicted as the general agent of the landlord class in Wulongshan District and sentenced to death.
The night before he was shot, Mr. Chen had dinner on the road and was finally allowed to write a letter to his family. At this time, Chen Deda recalled his hardships in fighting on the battlefield of resistance against Japan and persisting in the struggle in the Wulong Mountainous Area, burst into tears, summoned all his fighting spirit, and wrote a letter of appeal to the provincial party committee, the prefectural party committee of the ancient capital prefecture, and the Mingshui County party committee, reporting in detail his experience of participating in the revolution and the process of suppressing bullies, developing production, and supporting the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in Longwan District after liberation, and explained that Bai Xueying was the niece of the suppressed Bai Deli, who was raised by Bai Deli since she was a child, and regarded Bai Deli as her father. At the same time, Chen Deda also reported to the organization again that when he broke through the Wulongyu mutiny, it was the eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Xueweiss, who saved him. The Edelweiss Martyrs were his revolutionary companions and loved ones he will miss for the rest of his life.
After writing it, Chen Deda entrusted the prison staff to report the letter to the county party committee, prefectural party committee, and provincial party committee.
Chen Deda's insistence on the struggle in Wulong Mountain is a banner in Wulong Mountain District, and his prestige in Mingshui is very high. At this time, the people of Mingshui had already learned from the legend that Zhang Yantang, the leader of the group, had sat crookedly and slept on Bai Xueying's bed, but they dared to be angry with the working group of the prefectural committee, and someone naturally did it to help Chen Deda transfer his letter.
The next day, a meeting of 10,000 people was held in the county to execute Chen Deda, the general agent of the landlord class in Wulong District. Chen Guan's grandmother took Chen Guan's father, Chen Xuezhi, to rush to prepare to collect Chen Deda's body, and when she saw several machine guns on the venue, Chen Deda was tied up with five flowers and a mark on his back, and he was frightened crazy.
Chen Deda was not executed, and when the presiding judge finished reading the verdict, the director of the county party committee office hurriedly arrived and conveyed the urgent notice he had just received from the Gudu prefectural party committee, postponing the execution, and waiting for a clear re-examination before convicting him of guilt.
Later, Chen Deda was acquitted, but the case left a tail. Because Bai Xueying was very resolute, on the morning of the 10,000-person meeting held in Mingshui County to execute Chen Deda, Bai Xueying, who felt that she had taken revenge, changed into clean clothes, quietly went to the broken cave where Bai Deli's body was stored, cut the arteries and blood vessels with scissors, and died of blood. Zhang Yantang, the leader of the team who felt sorry for his people, in order to avenge Bai Xueying, but also to protect himself and avoid the responsibility of his superiors to investigate him, insisted that Chen Deda's wife was a landlord, and an old lady who could marry a young lady from the landlord's family, indicating that his class position was shaken, he coveted the beauty of the landlord's lady, and his fighting spirit had long been weakened, and he resolutely demanded that Chen Deda's responsibility be investigated.
No one in the provincial party committee and the prefectural party committee checked whether Team Leader Zhang really slept with Bai Xueying, but the investigation team did come to Bai Xueying to investigate and collect evidence, but unfortunately Bai Xueying's composition was a poor peasant, and she also committed suicide, and no one could do anything.
Poor Chen De fought and killed, and although he resumed his work later, the district chief couldn't do it, and was transferred to a community in the west of Longwan as a forestry specialist. Later, in the anti-rightist struggle, the Four Clean-up Movement, and the Cultural Revolution, Chen Deda, who was upright and full of military exploits, inexplicably became a rightist, a bad element, and a capitalist roader. On the eve of smashing the "Gang of Four," Chen Deda, who had no hope in sight, went home to visit his wife, who was mentally ill and bedridden for a long time, and took his grandson Chen Guan's hand around Wulong Mountain for a few days.
It wasn't until after the Gang of Four was smashed that Chen Guan's father, Chen Xuezhi, finally ushered in Chen Deda's notice of rehabilitation, and led his son Chen Guan and his wife Zheng Yulian to Chen De's grave and set off a firecracker. It's another joy and sorrow!
These grievances and hatreds of the older generation, Chen Guan has known the Tao since he was a child. For a while, he even thought that if it weren't for Zhang Yantang, the leader of Zhang Da in the ancient capital area, and Bai Xueying hooked up with each other and framed Zhongliang, Chen Deda, the grandfather who can be literate and martial, is very likely to do a lot of work, and his grandmother will not be mentally ill, and the fate of his family is definitely not what it is now. But, if you think about it, it's useless, time doesn't turn back. And the Bai family is even more miserable, Bai Deli is completely dead, in addition to Bai Edelweiss is a martyr, and enjoys the sacrifice of future generations every year on the Qingming Festival, Bai Deli and his three sons also carry the reputation of a bully landlord after their deaths. is Bai Xueying, although she avenged her uncle, but she didn't retrigate completely, her grandfather finally died behind her, Bai Xueying was infamous because she framed so many people, and she stinked in Wulong Mountain.
