Most of the people applauded, but of course a small number of people drooped their heads.

After Zhu Yuesong announced the election results, Zhang Daqian came back to the stage and said to everyone: "Fathers and villagers in the second district, comrades of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and colleagues from all strata and parties. Let me tell you one more thing. ”

I heard that Captain Zhang was going to tell you something specific, and everyone was listening with their ears pricked up.

Zhang Daqian said: "Recently, where have all the more than 1,000 loads of grain and more than 1,000 yuan that we have worked so hard to collect in the second district gone? In fact, Zhang Ziheng was asked to give it to Qi Zixiu's troops.

What does Qi Zixiu do, I'm afraid everyone knows it, in addition to sending food and money, and hooking up with the Japanese, has he ever beaten the Japanese? No. The Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army resisted Japan, but Qi Zixiu specially engaged in friction with the Eighth Route Army and specialized in fighting the Eighth Route Army. If Zhang Ziheng supports Qi Zixiu, in fact, it will be the opposite to fight against Japan and attack the anti-Japanese army in disguise.

Now the anti-Japanese democratic government of the second district has been democratically elected, so from now on, Zhang Ziheng's district office will be dissolved, and a new anti-Japanese democratic government will be in charge of everything. If Zhang Ziheng has any more activities on behalf of the district government, it will be illegal. ”

Most of the crowd at the meeting burst into warm applause.

After Li Shanting took up the post of head of the anti-Japanese democratic district, he soon established an anti-Japanese guerrilla armed district team of more than 30 people, of which he was the captain. Two township governments were quickly established, one was Xie Jiaji Township and the other was Zhanglu Township, with anti-Japanese democrats and Communist Party members serving as township heads.

At the beginning of December, after the establishment of the district and township anti-Japanese regime and the district armed forces in the second district of Tangyi, the county party committee immediately decided to shift the focus and develop to the northern part of Tangyi.

The northern part of Tangyi has a large population and a large population, bordering Linqing in the north, Guanxian in the northwest and southwest of Liaocheng in the east, and Guantao boundary, accounting for about four-fifths of the county's land area and population. However, because the Kuomintang diehards here and the feudal landlord forces colluded together and resisted our anti-Japanese and democratic movements more than Tangnan, the party had to carry out its work here more cautiously.

After the Tangyi County Government, the county party committee, and the armed forces were stationed in the northern part of Tangyi, they cooperated with the county party committees of Linqing County and Guantao County to hand over the rural branches of Tangyi County, so as to first control the party's grassroots forces.

Zhang Daqian decided to transplant the experience of the second district, first established the anti-Japanese democratic zone political power in the Xinji area of the sixth district in the northwest of Tangyi, where the conditions were relatively good, and elected Zhao Anbang, a member of the Communist Party of Zhaojiazhuang, as the district head, and Fan Huaiwen as the instructor of the district team.

After the establishment of the anti-Japanese regime in the 6th District, it was about to move eastward and open up the work around Liulin Town, when a new situation came from the 2nd District.

Zhang Ziheng of the second district was unwilling to accept his defeat, colluded with Qi Zixiu, expanded the counter-revolutionary armed forces, and wanted to take crazy revenge on the basic masses and anti-Japanese families in the Tangnan area.

Li Shanting's anti-Japanese democratic district government had just been established, and its foundation was still shallow, and with only more than 30 people armed, how could it deal with Qi Zixiu, who was like a wolf and a tiger, and Zhang Ziheng, who was old and treacherous.

After discussing with Han Xing, Zhang Daqian decided to immediately go back to Tangnan to resolutely protect the interests of the masses and the families of the anti-Japanese fighters.

To say that Li Shanting, the head of the anti-Japanese democratic district in the second district, was seventeen or eighteen years old at this time, and in the eyes of rural people, he was a young man who had not dried up. But since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, don't look at him young, but he has also experienced ups and downs.

Li Shanting had patriotic aspirations when he was a teenager, and he studied at the Wuxun Middle School in Tangyi County, when the Japanese invaded the northeast of our great rivers and mountains. Li Shanting discussed with his classmates and encouraged each other, preparing to organize an army to go to the northeast with his classmates as soon as he graduated, and swore that he would be ashamed of the Japanese invaders invading our northeast.

At a young age, he has such ambitions, and today, it is also one in a thousand, which is rare and valuable.

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, with the strong support of the Communist Party of China, General Fan Zhuxing established an anti-Japanese base in northwest Shandong and established a large number of armed detachments to resist the Japanese invaders.

At this time, Li Shanting had just left school, and a 16-year-old student, deeply encouraged, actively propagated anti-Japanese resistance in his hometown, called for arming, and resolutely resisted the Japanese army.

On November 15, 1938, Liaodi fell, and Fan Zhuxian died. At the beginning of 1939, the Japanese invaded and occupied the county seat of Tangyi, and were planning to organize a puppet army and establish a puppet regime. At the same time, the Kuomintang diehards Wang Jinxiang and Qi Zixiu and others were also eager to try in a vain attempt to control the northwest of Shandong in their hands, and the situation of the War of Resistance was precarious.

In this situation, Li Shanting soberly realized that in order to resist Japan, he must rely on the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, and count on the diehards of the Kuomintang, which have no door. He actively moved closer to the party, tried in every possible way to find the party's grassroots organizations, took part in the party's peripheral activities, and unconditionally fulfilled all the tasks assigned by the party.

In February 1939, the Liaotangbian Working Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and in March, Li Shanting joined the Communist Party of China. From then on, he devoted himself more actively to the work of the party.

On August 2, the district party committee was established, and Li Shanting was appointed secretary of the district party committee, who bravely and resolutely propagated the party's anti-Japanese policy, developed rural party organizations, led the masses to fight against traitors and Kuomintang diehards, and actively assisted the higher-level party committees in establishing local governments and developing anti-Japanese democratic armed forces.

At this time, the Japanese invaders had just gained a foothold in the county town of Tangyi, and they wanted to develop their influence outside the city and prepare to establish a puppet district and township government. Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, old turtle looking for Wang Bajia, there are some Chinese who have no human dignity, who want to act as traitors and sell themselves to the Japanese.

Fan Shutian of Fan Zhuang is such a person, he is active, finds the Japanese in Tangyi, laughs and sells favors, and wants to be the head of the puppet second district.

After discussing with Zhang Daqian, Li Shanting decided to resolutely crack down on this traitor who sold himself to take refuge, so as to give other traitors a look, and this is the fate of taking refuge in the Japanese.

One evening, Fan Shutian finished giving gifts to the Japanese, and after drinking wine, he returned to Fanzhuang from Tangyi County. Fan Zhuang's secret party members immediately reported the situation to Li Shanting.

Li Shanting immediately took five comrades and broke into Fan Shutian's house that night. Fan Shutian saw that the situation was not good, and he still wanted to escape, where could he escape, so he immediately asked Li Shanting to grab his neck and collar, and said to him majestically: "Fan Shutian, go, go outside and ask you something." ”

Fan Shutian had a ghost in his heart, so he was scared to pee at that time, and said tremblingly: "I won't go!" I'm not going! ”

"Whether you go or not, I can't help you." Li Shanting yelled, told the other comrades to gag him, and escorted him out.

The people in his family were still shouting, dragging Fan Shutian without shouting and taking him away. Li Shanting said to the people in his family: "If he is a good person, we will never wronged him, if he is really a traitor, whoever catches him will not be good." People are doing, the sky is watching, we will be able to distinguish between good people and bad people. Let's-"

When he arrived outside the village, Li Shanting announced Fan Shutian's crimes one by one, and said to him: "Do you have anything else to say? Didn't I wronged you? ”

The facts are all there, there are also human and physical evidence, Fan Shutian really has nothing to say, just begged Li Shanting and said: "For the sake of the villagers, just spare me." I won't dare again. ”

Li Shanting said to him solemnly: "I am on behalf of the Second District of the Anti-Japanese Army, and I announce your death sentence." It is also called all the traitors in the second district who want to take refuge with the Japanese, and this is the fate of the Japanese. ”

With a wave of Li Shanting's hand, a comrade shot this traitor who sold himself to the Japanese.

The action of shooting Fan Shutian quickly spread in the second district, which greatly shocked the enemy puppet army and curbed the development momentum of the Japanese puppet army. Some people just want to take refuge in the Japanese, and they have to take care of it.

In November 1939, the anti-Japanese democratic government of Tangyi County, the Mobilization Committee convened the People's Congress of the Second District in Guo Zixiang Village, and after the election, Li Shanting was elected as the head of the anti-Japanese democratic district of the Second District of Tangyi County, and established an anti-Japanese guerrilla armed force of more than 30 people.

From then on, Li Shanting led this armed force, mobilized the masses, and waged a fierce struggle against the Japanese puppet and stubborn reactionary forces-for-tat.

On the second day after Li Shanting was elected district head, he took the second district team to the west of Laojiazhuang Village to set up an ambush. Because of the information, there is a pheasant living in this village, and the evil traitor Zhang Yushan can't figure out that he will come to meet his little pheasant tonight.

This Zhang Yushan, a company commander of the Imperial Association Army in Tangyi County, led the Japanese army to the countryside several times to sweep up, kill people and set fires, rape women, and do all kinds of evil. If there were no traitors to lead the way, the Japanese army would not be familiar with the villages and villages in the second district, but it is precisely because these traitors act as the eyes and ears of the Japanese that these Japanese children are unscrupulous and do evil everywhere.

It is very necessary to kill chickens and show monkeys, cut off these lackeys of the Japanese, and also pour cold water on the arrogance of these imperial allied troops, deter the ferocious Japanese army, and improve the confidence of the second district to resist Japan.

The winter in northwest Shandong has been rehearsed since the end of October, when a northwest wind blew down and leaves fell. In November, winter officially begins, the temperature drops below freezing, the cold soaks the leaves, and the leaf stems freeze hard. In the evening, the north wind came together, and when I woke up the next morning, I saw that almost all the leaves of the trees had been lost.

The bare Luxi Plain, without the warmth of summer, without the green of summer, is full of desolation, a piece of earthy yellow, quite desolate. At that time, there was no TV, no radio, and the only fun was to get on the hot kang early, and the children enjoyed the hot bed, and the husband and wife also enjoyed the life of "sexual" happiness.

Because the house is too cold, and few can afford to light a stove, so as long as there are some conditions, you have to pan kang. The kang is connected to the stove, and as long as there is fire in the stove, the fire in the stove will pass through the fire path on the kang and turn around on the kang for a while.

So the kang is hot. Compared with the cold and freezing in the house, the fire kang is another paradise.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the wife and children are hot on the kang.

If it weren't for poverty, or because of poor medical conditions, it wouldn't be strange to have ten or eight children.

There is not much movement in the village, and the wilderness is even quieter. When it snows, the sound of brushing snow is the sound of brushing, and when it is not snowing, there is only the sound of the north wind. "Woo-woo-woo-"
