"Boom-" Several grenades were thrown into the Kuixing Tower, and the enemies inside ate the grenades they had thrown, killing and wounding them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The enemy came up in one batch, fell in another, and hit many times, all of which were repulsed.

Zhao Zhenhua, the commander of the bandit brigade, was in a hurry, and rushed to the second regiment commander Guo Peide, who was also anxious, Zhao Zhenhua brandished a pistol and shouted: "TMD, I don't believe it, why can't a few eight-way roads be destroyed?" Up, up, down the eighth road, Jinhao Hotel, I'm in for a treat—"

Guo Peide picked up a big knife, his face was bloody, as if he had eaten the flesh of a dead child: "Whoever retreats again, it doesn't matter if he kills." I'll see which one dares to retreat—"

The battle was intertwined, the enemy fell in groups, and a few soldiers tried to retreat. Guo Peide took a round of big swords, killed two people, frightened the enemy and screamed wildly, and he gave himself courage and rushed forward......

At more than two o'clock in the second half of the night, 14 of our warriors died one after another, leaving only Captain Zhu. He put the guns of his comrades around his body, opened the lid of the grenade and placed it beside him, and shot at the enemy wherever it came, threw the grenade, and held out for more than an hour.

The head of the column is organizing forces, preparing to launch a large-scale attack, resolutely taking Liaocheng, and the second echelon is moving nervously under the city. Seeing that a full-scale offensive is about to begin, the liberation of Liaocheng is just around the corner.

At this critical juncture, the headquarters of our Second Column suddenly received an order from a higher authority, which said: "The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have reached an agreement on peace talks, and from midnight today, all military operations will be stopped, and all units will immediately carry them out!" ”

Wang Jinxiang also received a telegram from the relevant departments of the Kuomintang, shouting at our side and demanding a cease-fire, and on the other hand, he also dropped some leaflets.

Gradually, the gunfire on both sides subsided.

Han Xing let out a long sigh: "It's just a little bit, it's just one step away!" Three attacks, especially this one, were just a little bit close. ”

Looking at the bodies of countless soldiers lying there quietly under Liaocheng City, Zhao Jianmin said heavily: "Although we have made a lot of mistakes in attacking fortifications three times, they also show the tenacious fighting spirit of our Eighth Route Army that is heroic and not afraid of sacrifice. Warriors, you go all the way, and we will definitely carry on your legacy and fight back. ”

In order to show the righteousness, after the ceasefire, the main force of our second column withdrew from Liaocheng, leaving only southern Hebei and local troops stationed outside the city to monitor the enemy's movements.

At the end of February 1946, representatives of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the United States formed the "Jinan Executive Group of the Military Mediation Enforcement Department" and came to Liaocheng. The representative of our side is Song Renqiang, the representative of the Kuomintang is Zhang Shuheng, and the representative of the United States is Davis. Zhang Xia, head of Zhuxian County of the Communist Party of China, and Han Xing, who was familiar with the situation, attended as local representatives. Liaocheng was attended by Wang Jinxiang, Zhao Zhenhua and Guo Peide.

The first meeting took place at 7 p.m. on the day the trio arrived at the Dongguan Christian Church.

Han Xing and Wang Jinxiang met, they were really enemies, and they were very red-eyed. Han Xing mocked Wang Jinxiang and said, "Chief of Staff Wang, meet again!" I thought I wouldn't see it? ”

When Wang Jinxiang saw Han Xing, he knew that he was wrong, his eyes almost didn't dare to look directly, and he said weakly: "Secretary Han, Commander Han, it's really unexpected!" But it's a fluke, we'll be able to see it above. ”

Han Xing said-for-tat to Wang Jinxiang: "If Commander Fan Zhuxian is alive, I wonder what he will say about today's talks?" And what do you think of you? ”

Wang Jinxiang didn't dare to look at Han Xing's eyes, and said, "Commander Fan is long gone, what are you mentioning him for?" Commander Fan is a famous anti-Japanese general, and he is the glory of my Liaocheng. ”

"Although some people are gone, they will be famous for a hundred years, and some people will still be gasping for breath, and they will definitely be stinking for 10,000 years. Commander Fan is such a famous anti-Japanese general, and the respected anti-Japanese leader of the Luxi people, but he has been repeatedly framed by the diehards. After 38 years of Liaocheng War, he was finally killed by his chief of staff. ”

Wang Jinxiang's face tilted to the side, not daring to look at Han Xing anymore.

After the meeting began, our representative Song Renqiang said: "Comrades deputies, whether the defenders of Liaocheng are the troops of the Kuomintang or the accomplices of the Japanese army, I think that the people of Liaocheng have the most right to speak, so I would like to ask them to express their opinions, right?" ”

County Magistrate Zhang Xia first stood up to speak, and he used a large number of facts to complain about Wang Jinxiang's actions, the atrocities of the Japanese puppet army, and the bad things done by Zhao Zhenhua and Guo Peide of the Liaocheng Garrison Brigade.

Han Xing stood up and continued to angrily reprimand the bad things he knew about Wang Jinxiang, as well as the evil deeds done by Fu Chonglu, Guo Peide, and Wang Xingbang at the moment.

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud commotion outside, and countless people rushed over. Carrying torches, holding signs, and shouting slogans, they surrounded the Christian church like a sea of people.

Wang Jinxiang, Zhao Zhenhua, Guo Peide's face changed, as the saying goes, people don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night, since they have done bad things, they are afraid of ghosts! Even Davis, the representative of the US side, was a little panicked and hurriedly said to Song Renqiang: "Control the situation, don't let the chaotic people disrupt the meeting." ”

Song Renqiang smiled and said firmly: "We have to speak for the people, since the people are here, what are we afraid of?" ”

Davis had no choice but to say, "Yes, yes, let the people of Liaocheng speak." ”

Zhang Shuheng was also a little panicked, and threatened Song Renqiang: "You unilaterally provoked the incident and will be responsible for sabotaging the peace talks?" ”

Song Renqiang sneered slightly, and said calmly: "In the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War in Liaocheng, hundreds of thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians died, and no less than millions died of starvation, disease, and freezing. Now that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been won, can't they come to shout bitterness and injustice!? ”

In a word, Zhang Shuheng lost his temper.

The people who came included representatives of the masses from various counties, and some even pushed the bones of their dead relatives in carts. In particular, the masses in Nanzhanglou, Chiping County, wrapped the white bones of the victims' relatives in white cloth, placed them in front of the talks delegates, and said loudly:

"We are from Nanzhanglou Village, the village was slaughtered, more than 300 people died, young and middle-aged people were killed, women were raped, and children were cut down. We are not here today for anything else, just to let you take a look and let these dead people know that now that the War of Resistance has been won, the traitors who killed them in the past are still showing off their might in Liaocheng City. Although the dead people can't speak, they also let them see that their enemies are in front of them, and they are still being shielded and supported. Rather, we have to ask, is there any justice in the world? Now that the Anti-Japanese War has been won, why do we think it is still the world of the Japanese puppet army? ”

The crowd was in an uproar and shouted the slogan together: "Severely punish the traitors!" "Shoot the traitor!" "Down with the traitors!"

Wang Jinxiang was not only not convinced, but also whispered: "There is a kind of savage in Nanyang, who specializes in using the bones of dead people as decorations. I think you're threatening the national army with the corpses of dead people!? ”

Some people heard that these bones were their brothers and sisters, how could they not be angry, and it was difficult to control their emotions for a while, and they scolded: "Wang Jinxiang, I fought with you, you killed our whole family, and I want to avenge them." ”

One is on it, and the rest are itching their teeth with hatred, and they all follow, and they can't wait to tear Wang Jinxiang, Zhao Zhenhua, and Guo Peide apart.

Ignited the anger of hundreds of people thirsting for revenge, how could these three people resist? Seeing that these three villains are about to die under the fists, feet, teeth, and beatings of everyone.

In order to maintain the overall situation, the county magistrate Zhang Xia came forward and said to everyone: "Fellow villagers, first be quiet, be quiet, on behalf of the anti-Japanese government, I will definitely give everyone justice." Now a meeting is being held, the question of whether they are traitors or not is being studied? ”

As soon as they said whether they were traitors or not, the crowd shouted loudly: "They are not traitors, who are traitors?" "Helping the Japanese kill so many Chinese and kill so many people in the whole village, who are they?" "It's just to tell the king of Hades to say that they are also traitors, and this can still be denied!"

Wang Jinxiang, Zhao Zhenhua, and Guo Peide were like lost dogs, frightened birds, frightened faces, and never dared to say a word again.

Song Renqiang also said: "They are outright puppet troops, and they should surrender to our anti-Japanese democratic government." However, these puppet troops often went out of the city to loot and continued to brutalize our people, and the Kuomintang planes also airdropped supplies to the puppet army in the city to support. ”

Even Davis, the representative of the United States, couldn't listen to it anymore, he nodded and said: "The people are very angry, the people are very angry, it seems that they are a puppet army." As for the surrender of the puppet army, it is up to the Chongqing side to resolve it. However, since it is a puppet army, going out of the city to loot is an irregular behavior and must be stopped. In addition, Kuomintang planes were never allowed to pick up the puppet army in the city. ”

During the negotiations, due to the lack of sincerity on the part of the Kuomintang and the failure to reach substantive opinions, only three articles were recorded at the final meeting. One is that the two sides agree to strictly implement the armistice order, stop the conflict, and maintain the status quo for the time being on the issue of withdrawal until it is resolved later. Second, the two sides agreed that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party would send three people from each side to form a grain committee to be responsible for solving the food problem in the city. Third, residents inside and outside the city can come and go freely after inspection, and all parties may not arrest or obstruct them.

After the negotiations, Han Xing still has an urgent problem to solve, that is, to go into the city to deal with our arrested people. Because of bad news from the inside, Yang Jinqi was caught by the military commanders.

This time, Han Xing did not enter the city in disguise, but in a public capacity, he took Wang Xiu'e, Li Dazhong, Sun Datu, Wang Laosan and others, swaggering with weapons, and went on the Tugong Road to enter the city, and entered the city from Kuixinglou.

The puppet army at the door was not allowed to enter, and asked Wang Xingbang, Wang Xingbang couldn't be at home, and asked Wang Jinxiang again. Because there were communication records in the negotiations between the two sides, Wang Jinxiang was not easy to stop, so he had to let Han Xing and his party enter the city, and Wang Xingbang's company was "escorted" behind.

Han Xing and these people entered the city, wearing the clothes of the Eighth Route Army, majestic and high-spirited, which aroused the sideways eyes of some ordinary people, and some ordinary people even stretched out their thumbs. Han Xing walked through the city from the east, and along the way he only saw that the business of the shops was cold, and many shops were closed, as long as it was a shop related to food, the price was really frighteningly high, and there was basically no goods.
