At the end of 1938, Liaocheng was lost, and the Luxi Plain was ravaged under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders, and miscellaneous armies of various banners rose everywhere. At that time, Bai Ruixi had resigned from his job as the head of Dabai Village and became a primary school teacher in the village. However, in the chaotic years, students had no intention of studying, and Bai Ruixi often lived at home.

At the end of 1939, Commander Liu Zhiyuan of the Fourth Division of the Luxi Military Region and two other guards rode horses to Dabai Village to carry out anti-Japanese work. They entered the township office and first contacted Mr. Bai Lianshuang, the head of the township.

Township Mayor Bai Lianshuang called Bai Xiaokai and Bai Shaojiu to participate in the discussion.

Mr. Bai Lianshuang was born as a rich peasant, has a deep cultural foundation, is an advanced person who advocates anti-Japanese resistance, has been a township chief for many years, has a certain influence in Zhaoniuhe, our party won him to resist Japan together, he has long had a thorough understanding of him, he also actively responded to the party's call, did a lot of anti-Japanese work.

Why Liu Zhiyuan chose Dabai Village to carry out anti-Japanese work was also decided after a certain understanding and investigation.

At that time, Zhaohe Township was a large township in the third district of Chiping County, and was named after the Zhaoniu River flowing here. It includes more than a dozen large and small villages on both sides of the river, such as Dabai, Liu Wanghai, Jia Zhaozhuang, Dawu, Dingzhuang, Songzhuang, Xingzhuang, Suzhuang, Xinzhuang, Wanglou, Shizhuang, Lujiahetou, Qianqianchang, Daxiaoma, etc.

Among them, some villages already have party organizations, and the party has a relatively good mass base in this area.

In addition to party member Bai Xiaokai, there were also Bai Shaojiu and others who participated in the forum. Bai Shaojiu was originally the deputy head of the village, but he also resigned later, he had been trained in the political training office of the Northwest Lu Anti-Japanese Command sponsored by Comrade Zhang Yuguang of the Liaocheng Luxi Special Committee, and he was also an anti-Japanese person.

Commander Liu Zhiyuan's first visit to Dabaizhuang caused great repercussions in Zhaoniuhe Township, and the masses rumored that the Eighth Route Army was coming, and the people of Chinan had hope. This was the earliest attempt by the Communist Party to open up the anti-Japanese base area in the three districts centered on Dabai and Liu Wanghai.

At that time, the situation around Dabai Village was still very complicated. After Commissioner Fan was martyred, a chaotic situation arose in various places, with Japanese and stubborn openly colluding and miscellaneous armies rising up one after another, each dominating one side and competing to expand its power. There are strongholds on all sides of Dabai Village, and you can hear the passwords of each stronghold every time, Qi Zixiu, Luan Xiaobald, Zhang Buyun, Feng Erpi, etc., and there are more commanders than cow hair.

However, the biggest threat to Dabai Village is the Red Gun Society.

The Red Gun Society is a kind of Taoist organization that has been bred from the peasant religion in history, it has a certain belief and the teaching of teachers, chanting incantations when fighting, and some will fool the masses with gods.

Before and after the Anti-Japanese War, important Kuomintang members in Shandong Province, Han Fuyu, He Siyuan, and Shen Honglie all came to Yanggu, Chiping, and Dong'e to carry out activities.

Yanggu's loyal and filial piety group had plotted to kill Fan Zhuxian, but it was only because Han Duofeng, the commissioner of the Linqing Dynasty, went for Fan Zhuxian that Fan Zhuxian was spared from being killed. However, Han Duofeng was shot and almost hung up.

In Huaniu Chen, in the east of Liaocheng, the Red Gun Society, headed by Chen Wansi and Chen Youhuai, and the Red Gun Society at the junction of Chiping and Dong'e, stubbornly made enemies of the Eighth Route Army, did not allow the Eighth Route Army to be stationed nearby to resist Japan, and did not allow the masses to pay public rations to the Eighth Route Army, constantly creating friction.

They gathered in the areas of Chiqiao, Fuzhuang, Alkali Block Hou, Zhangbazhuang, Daijing, Guo Ho, Liu Mingwu, and Liu Daorentang in Dong'e, with Alkali Field Hou as their headquarters, only six miles away from Dabai Village.

From Dabai to the south, all the way to Tongcheng, connecting the area of Yanggu Anle Town, it is all their territory. Among these thousands of rabble, there are ruffians and outlaws, but the vast majority are the blinded masses.

Because they were manipulated by the diehards of the Kuomintang, a few bad people were involved in it, and their destructive effect was quite large. They had long wanted to include Dabai Village in their sphere of influence.

At that time, Shi Wenxi, the head of the Red Gun Society in Shizhuang, and Bai Lianshuang were sons and daughters, and Shi Wenxi's niece was Bai Lianshuang's third daughter-in-law. But Bai Lianshuang politely refused.

Ji Huaiyi of Xinzhuang and Sang Baoyin of Songzhuang also tried to coerce him, but Mr. Bai Lianshuang did not obey.

Dabai Village was so crowded that it couldn't stand it, and some young people wanted to take refuge in Feng Erpi, but Bai Lianshuang chased them out of the village and called them back again.

Bai Lianshuang said to them: "The three detachments, the Red Gun Society, and Feng Erpi are not good, with my many years of experience, don't look at the Eighth Route Army's worn clothes, poor food, and bad guns, even if the masses have excellent discipline, such an army can only succeed in the future." Let's endure it slowly, which step is counted, maybe there will be a sunny day one day. ”

I look forward to it early, I look forward to it late, I look forward to it today, I look forward to it tomorrow, and finally I hope that the Eighth Route Army is coming.

When the news of the Eighth Route Army's coming to Dabai Village to carry out anti-Japanese resistance spread, it first aroused the jealousy of the Red Gun Society. They secretly contacted the Japanese puppets and received the support of the Japanese and puppets, and they had no fear to exert all kinds of pressure on Dabai Village.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army entered Dabai Village, they beat drums or sent signs to make an emergency, and immediately thousands of Red Lance members with weapons in their hands gathered from all villages and surrounded Dabai Village, shouting slogans and pretending to be ghosts, provoking and sabotaging the War of Resistance, which caused great difficulties for the activities of our anti-Japanese armed forces in Chinan.

In the summer and autumn of 1939, Chen Yuhuai, the leader of the Red Gun Society, colluded with the Japanese and puppet armies to deceive the masses and finally attacked our anti-Japanese forces.

At that time, a unit of our anti-Japanese armed forces was stationed in Zhuozhuang, Dong'e County. This Zhuozhuang is a place on the border of Chiping, Boping, Liaocheng and Dong'a. At that time, the captain Zhu Wenzheng was not there, only the deputy captain Xu Qing and more than 30 soldiers were stationed here.

This Zhuozhuang has a soil enclosure, and Xu Qing thinks that this place can be defended, so he is stationed here, preparing to expand his armament.

The eyes and ears of the Red Gun Society were all over the place, and soon someone informed Chen Yuhuai of the news, and Chen Yuhuai led thousands of people to surround Zhuozhuang in the middle of the night. They beat drums and gave orders, held torches, and shouted in unison: "Catch the eight roads!" "Kill the Eight Ways!" "Eight roads are demons—" surrounded Zhuo Zhuang and couldn't get through.

There were many more Red Gun members who were notified and rushed to Zhuozhuang with weapons.

In the village, Xu Qing's soldiers were very anxious, and they asked to fight back and fight with the Red Lance Society. Xu Qing is an old Red Army, a cadre of the Long March, and has a strong sense of policy. He said to his comrades:

"The anti-Japanese base areas centered on Dabai and Chiqiao are not consolidated, the masses do not yet understand our party's anti-Japanese united front, the enemy is outnumbered at present, and the Red Gun Society is mostly a deceived masses, and there will be no good results in the fight. We should expose the enemy's conspiracy, let the masses clearly understand who is the one who saved the country and the people and really resists Japan, and who is the traitor and lackey who brings disaster to the country and the people, and educate the broad masses of the people to fight the devil with the muzzle of the gun. ”

Xu Qing called the soldiers to the room to prevent accidents, but he stood at a high post on the earthen fence and shouted to the thousands of Red Gun members: "Red Gun members, everyone listen to me, everyone listen to me." ”

The Red Gun members were also taken aback when they saw a person wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, standing on the earthen fence without fear of death. Some people stopped shouting one after another to listen to what the Eighth Route Army was going to say.

Xu Qing shouted to them: "What are we doing in the Eighth Route Army, our Eighth Route Army is a real anti-Japanese team, and it is a devil-fighting team." We, the Eighth Route Army, the former Red Army, stood with the poor people. Our Eighth Route Army is also the people's own team, a team that speaks for you and does things for you. What about the current situation......

Chen Yuhuai is most afraid of the Eighth Route Army's psychological warfare, and as soon as the Eighth Route Army publicizes, don't the common people know about it? He said to his accomplice Jiang Yuzhi: "In my opinion, the Eighth Route Army is a boiled duck with a hard mouth. If the Eighth Route Army said so, we were all fools. ”

Jiang Yuzhi also said hatefully: "I think I just can't let them talk." When death is on the verge of death, what else do you say? ”

The two of them muttered, and the smell was the same. Chen Yuhuai immediately issued an order to his subordinates: "Beat the drum and call the Red Gun Society to attack." ”

Dozens of broken drums sounded, where can anyone hear Xu Qing's words clearly, plus he is still a southerner, even if he shouts and breaks his voice, he also plays the piano to the cow!

Chen Yuhuai was shirtless, and his mouth was full of words, and others didn't know what he was reading. After he finished reciting the incantation, after the immortal possessed his body, he took the lead, leading the Red Spear members, and shouted loudly: "Invulnerability! Invulnerable! Invulnerable!! Then he approached Xu Qing's earth enclosure step by step.

Xu Qing shouted loudly at them: "It's not right for you to do this, the Chinese don't fight the Chinese, please stop advancing, go back, go back!" ”

But these Red Gun members, under the leadership of Chen Yuhuai and Jiang Yuzhi, where they listened to him, they still slowly approached Tuweizi, and shouted vigorously: "Invulnerability!" Invulnerable! ”

The soldiers behind were all anxious, and shouted vigorously: "Captain Xu, shoot!" "If you don't shoot, it's too late." "What kind of reasoning do you have to tell them?"

However, Xu Qing still thought about the party's policies and the innocent masses, and gave an order to the soldiers: "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! ”

These Red Gun members didn't care about this, and under the leadership of Chen Yuhuai and Jiang Yuzhi, they slowly walked to the bottom of the soil fence. Chen Yuhuai waved a big blade in his hand, waved it forward and said, "Rush-kill-"

All the Red Gun members rushed up, and countless red tassel guns poked towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing has a thousand mouths, even if he has a thousand miles of pride, under the red tassel gun of steel, he can't show his ability, and his body was poked into a bloody hole and sacrificed heroically.

These Red Gun members continue to attack, where will these anti-Japanese fighters be spared! The soldiers only had two hands per person, and they couldn't shoot guns, how could they fight with tens of thousands of hands, except for a dozen fighters who were killed on the spot, the rest were all arrested.
