The 42nd Muslim Detachment
At this moment, County Magistrate Zhang was confused again and asked Han Xing: "Isn't this just an old lady who is wandering around the neighborhood asking for food, I've seen her a few times." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info could it be that she is also your scout? β
Han Xing nodded and said, "In order to deal with the vicious and cunning traitor, it is also a last resort." β
Zhang Xia nodded after hearing this and said, "I said that you are a Han Xing, you are really good, even I am in the dark." β
Zhai Maizi gave a detailed report on the night of the fire in the arsenal, the night when County Magistrate Zhang was stabbed, the situation of the outgoing personnel of the Yundong Brigade that were detected, and the physical characteristics.
Zhang Xia listened, sighed and said: "It's really dark under the lamp, we are all confused by Li Xiaoya's young and naΓ―ve, motivated and studious." Gao Ming, this Li Xiaoya! β
Hu Pansheng also said: "I'm really dizzy, Bai Fengyi is also dizzy, I have been playing eagles all my life, but I am blinded by the eagle." The wind and waves all came over, and the boat capsized in the small gutter. β
Han Xing added: "The military commander of Liaocheng has also suffered the disaster of annihilation, and now that I think about it, it was also something that happened after Li Xiaoya entered the military command. I look at this Zhao Hongwu, and I was also confused by Li Xiaoya, and my secret was completely mastered by Li Xiaoya. Even I was deceived by Li Xiaoya, and I always thought that she was a progressive young man who sought to be a progressive intellectual? β
The opinions of several people gradually became unified. In the end, Han Xing said: "I think this white captain still can't be released, it's better to be locked up for two more days." First, we still have to wait for the above information, and secondly, after all, Li Xiaoya is hidden under the nose of Captain Bai, and Captain Bai is suspected of leaking secrets, which is dereliction of duty! β
Two days later, the four of them met again, and this time Han Xing excitedly said to everyone: "There is information from inside, Li Xiaoya has returned to Tian Yuan's second secret service. This shows that our suspicion of Li Xiaoya is right, she is a high-level Japanese spy. It can also be said that this review and screening action can be concluded. β
Everyone was very happy to hear the news. In addition to being happy, Zhang Xia said heavily: "But our price is also heavy, for a Li Xiaoya, the Yundong Brigade has basically not stopped for a while, and has not dared to go out for activities, and there are dozens of people who have paid the price of their lives." One Li Xiaoya is enough to withstand two Japanese squadrons. β
Hu Pansheng said: "What is sad is that everyone is in danger, as if we are all traitors, and it has seriously hit the self-esteem of our comrades. Well, from now on, we can hold our heads high and concentrate on dealing with external enemies. β
Han Xing concluded: "If this cancer is not pulled out, sooner or later our Yundong Brigade will have to be blown to pieces." Now that the time bomb has been disarmed, everyone can rest assured. This hidden enemy is far more terrifying than the obvious enemy. Li Xiaoya is clever, really clever! It's just a pity that he didn't catch her with his own hands, but let her run.
Not only will we report this matter, but even Zhao Hongwu's military commander will have to tell about it. After all, they are fighting devils together, and they are still comrades-in-arms in the trenches, so I dare not say it in the future. β
Since then, the Yundong Brigade has become active, and it is no longer timid and dodging the enemy's sneak attacks everywhere, but attacking the enemy one after another. They were active in the vast land east of Liaocheng, north of Taipingzhuang, and west of Chiping and Dong'a.
There are Liaotang detachments in the north of Tangyi and Guanxian in the north, which are also operating in the vast area of no man's land, establishing base areas and cracking down on Japanese puppets and stubbornness.
At this time, Han Xing received another order, and the Hui detachment of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region came to northwest Shandong, and the leader asked Han Xing, who was familiar with the situation in northwest Shandong, to give guidance so that they could become familiar with the new battlefield more quickly.
Before Han Xing went, of course, he checked the information to understand the situation of the Muslim detachment. How the Hui detachment in Jizhong came to the northwest of Shandong has to start from the beginning.
The founder of the Muslim detachment is Ma Benzhai, a native of Dongxinzhuang, Xian County, Jizhong, born in 1901, served as a soldier in the Liu Zhennian Department of the Kuomintang Army in his youth, and was promoted from squad leader, platoon leader, to regiment commander.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Benzhai organized the Hui Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army in his hometown, and led this team to participate in the Hebei Guerrilla Army Hui Teaching Team led by the Communist Party of China and served as the captain. In June 1938, the Hui Teaching Team and the Hui Cadre Teaching Team were combined into the Teaching Corps of the Jizhong Military Region, with Ma Benzhai as the captain.
In July 1939, the Muslim Teaching Corps was renamed the Huimin Detachment of the Jizhong Military Region, with Ma Benzhai as the commander. This team galloped through Xianxian, Qingxian, Dacheng, Hejian, and Cangxian to repeatedly attack and harass the enemy, and fought many beautiful ambush battles and sabotage battles, dealing heavy blows to the enemy.
In 1942, Okamura Ninji, commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, personally commanded 50,000 Japanese puppet troops and carried out the "May Day Sweep" in the Jizhong Plain to exterminate humanity. Ma Benzhai led the Huimin detachment to repeatedly maneuver with the strong enemy and fought bloody battles, but in the end, because the enemy was strong and weak, and the troops suffered heavy losses.
After successive bloody battles, a large number of cadres and fighters such as Guo Lushun, political commissar of the Huimin detachment, died, and the troops were reduced from more than 2,000 in their heyday to more than 700.
In order to preserve the anti-war forces of this ethnic minority, the higher authorities decided to carry out a strategic transfer of the Hui detachment. At the beginning of July 1942, Comrade Ma Benzhai led all the officers and men of the Muslim detachment to bid farewell to their hometown and homeland in Jizhong, crossed the enemy's blockade line on the canal and Jinpu Road, and traveled a long distance to the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region in September 1942 to reach the area of Pufanguan.
Considering the lack of main forces in northwestern Shandong, the higher authorities decided to entrust the Muslim detachment with important tasks.
One day in early October, Zhao Jianmin, commander of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Third Army Division, rushed to Hongmiao Village, Guancheng County, where the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is located, and met with Commander Yang Dezhi, Political Commissar Su Zhenhua, and Cui Tianmin, director of the Political Department.
The chief told him that the military region had decided to concurrently serve as the commander of the Muslim detachment, Ma Benzhai, and himself as the deputy commander of the Third Army, and asked for his opinion.
Zhao Jianmin said excitedly: "Northwest Lu has long been looking forward to having a main force stationed, and the Huimin detachment is coming, which is great, and we warmly welcome it." I resolutely obeyed the organization's decision and assisted Comrade Ma Benzhai in doing a good job. β
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he voluntarily returned to his hometown to organize anti-Japanese armed forces, and served as the commander of the Zhuxian Column for a long time, bringing out the "Zhao San Battalion" in the northwest of Weizhenlu. Today, he happily obeyed the organization's decision and changed his position from commander to deputy commander, thus showing the high demeanor of a communist.
Han Xing's later generations watched the movie "Muslim Detachment", and admired Ma Benzhai who believed in the Communist Party at the same time, and was very willing to work together under this hero. Of course, I also admire Zhao Jianmin's noble character of being able to go up and down. After consulting with Zhang Weihan, he discussed with Zhang Daqian and decided to take Wu Xiaoming's company to participate in Ma Benzhai's military activities together.
At this time, Ma Benzhai had already arrived in the area of Zhang Luji in Shen County.
This Zhangluji is a central area of the Hui people in our anti-Japanese base area, just 17 kilometers west of Shen County.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Huimin detachment was reorganized, its organs were streamlined, its companies were strengthened, and the original establishment of three brigades was abolished and reorganized into five squadrons and one cavalry company, which were directly under the leadership of the headquarters. In order to reserve cadres, the original 200-odd battalion and company cadres were streamlined and formed into a "cadre training team," which was mainly for study and training, and at the same time also undertook certain combat tasks.
The Muslim detachment was better equipped, each company was equipped with light machine guns and grenadiers, and the headquarters also had a heavy machine gun platoon with two heavy machine guns, a mortar platoon, and two mortars, which was a very powerful weapon at that time.
The local government in northwestern Shandong has mobilized a large number of Hui Han youths to join the army and supplement the Hui detachment. Zhang Luji's Hui Rescue Society also sent the best imam, Mr. Cai Yongqing of the Nanjie Mosque, as the imam of the Muslim detachment.
Han Xing's team, during the march to Zhang Luji, conveyed to the troops the national discipline and the relevant precautions of the first teaching, and told the soldiers to do a good job of national unity with the local Hui brothers.
When the troops arrived in the area of Zhangluji, they saw that the people here were really not the same as the Han people, and the Hui people had a little white hat on their heads, and the Han people would never wear a white hat. There seems to be a smell in the Muslim villages, but the Han-mes-Epitek villages have never smelled like this.
When the Muslims smelled Hermes-Epitek's body, they also frowned, saying that Hermes-Epitek had a strange smell. I really don't know the smell of my body, and I can't smell any smell on my body when I smell Hermes-Epitek.
When the troops arrived in Zhangluji, Han Xing arranged for the troops to rest, and immediately found the headquarters of the Third Army Division with Wang Xiu'e, the minister of enemy engineering, and Li Dazhong, the instructor of the company commander Wu Xiaoming. After waiting for a while, Commander Ma Benzhai came out, and when he saw Ma Benzhai, Han Xing gave him a military salute and said to him respectfully: "Report to Commander Ma, Han Xing came to report with the fifth company of the Liaotang detachment." β
Wu Xiaoming, Li Dazhong and Wang Xiu'e also gave a standard military salute to Ma Benzhai.
Ma Benzhai hurriedly returned the salute, shook hands with the comrades one by one, and finally took Han Xing's hand affectionately and said: "Welcome, welcome, Commander Han, I have admired the name for a long time!" The Southern Expeditionary Army led by you defeated the little devils, especially Okamura Ningji, who hated you. β
Han Xing hurriedly said: "Compared with Commander Ma, I am really like the stars and the moon, and the creek is like seeing the sea!" Commander Ma is powerful, who doesn't know, who doesn't know! How can it be compared to Commander Ma? β
Ma Benzhai said modestly: "What I am fighting is, after all, a third-rate army of devils, and the real first-class Japanese army A troops are all on the frontal battlefield, and they are all afraid of you Han Xing." You're here, I have added confidence in my heart, and I am more confident in opening up the situation in this area. β
