Chapter 13 Exhaustion
On January 9, 1930, the traitors Wang Mingzhi and Guo Jinxiang first went to Zhucheng to arrest Ma Futang and Fu Weijin, and then went to Gaomi to arrest Cao Ruichang, Li Xuchu, and Fan Xintang, and were escorted to Jinan Pulimen Outer Prison
Ma Futang was brutally tortured in prison for nearly four years, but he took a firm stand, strictly guarded the party's secrets, and organized fellow refugees to read progressive books and periodicals, including Lenin's book "Materialism and Empirical Criticism", which guided and encouraged fellow refugees to strengthen their convictions, strengthen their confidence in victory, and take the road of thorough revolution
In October 33, after Ma Futang was released from prison, he actively searched for the party organization, but he could not find it after several turns; in an extremely difficult situation, he still insisted on the revolution, and he found some old colleagues in Jinan to jointly set up a "front-line literary and art society" and publish the journal "First-line", and served as the editor-in-chief of the journal, so as to carry out revolutionary activities and propagate anti-Japanese ideas
Immediately after that, the contents of the journal "Frontline" were seized by the reactionary authorities because of radicalism, and in three or four years, he married Fu Yuzhen (who joined the party in January 29 and lost contact with him after the destruction of the party organization) and ran away together; he went to Laiyang through his classmates; he served as the director of the rural education experimental area, propagated revolutionary ideas in the name of rural education, and established a rural martial arts troupe in more than 20 villages, preparing for armed insurrection in the future
Ma Futang's revolutionary activities were reported to the Kuomintang county government by bad people The county magistrate Liang Bingkun issued an order to arrest him When he was in danger, he and Fu Yuzhen had to move to Jinan Unwilling to be lonely, he found his classmate Yang Xiwen ** to discuss After being introduced by Yang to the first primary school in Yucheng County as the teaching director He accompanied Fu Yuzhen to Yucheng to perform his duties
Soon after he took office, the provincial party committee introduced Wei Jingping, a party member from Yucheng, to teach at the school, and established a self-government association among the students and a reading club in the classroom to propagate revolutionary ideas
Wang Yuntai, the school's principal, was a loyal son of the reactionaries, armed with a pistol, menacing, and relied on power to suppress and threaten progressive teachers and students
Ma Futang and Wei Jingping seized on the principal's ambiguous relationship with the female teacher, secretly organized forces, and used colored chalk to write slogans and short essays on the streets and downtown areas to expose his ugly deeds, and the principal was very embarrassed Soon after, Ma Futang was discovered and followed by the Kuomintang Communist arresting team, but fortunately, he escaped safely under the cover of the county education bureau chief, and returned to his hometown Qihe County with Yuzhen
With the help of a friend's introduction, Ma Futang went to Yancheng Street Primary School as the teaching director, and after working for a period of time, he found out that the principal had corrupt behavior, so he publicly exposed it, and was finally dismissed because of his lonely situation
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 37 years, anti-Japanese and life-saving mass organizations were established all over the country, Ma Futang took advantage of the situation to win the support of Mr. Fan Mingshu, a well-known progressive, educator, and principal of the Qufu Second Division, who was resting at home at that time, and got in touch with Lu Baoqi and Wei Yugan, secretaries of the ** Tai'an Provisional County Party Committee, and jointly organized the Tai'an County Anti-Enemy Support Association from all walks of life, the Tai'an County People's General Games, and the Tai'an County Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Force
In October of this year, Li Yu, secretary of the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, personally talked to Ma Futang according to his performance and restored his organizational relations
On January 1, 38, the Shandong Provincial Party Committee directly led the anti-Japanese armed uprising in Culai Mountain, and Li Yu, secretary of the provincial party committee, on behalf of the provincial party committee, officially announced the establishment of the fourth detachment of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force of the Eighth Route Army, and the Taitai'an County Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment was incorporated into four detachments, with Hong Tao as commander, Li Yu as political commissar, Zhao Jie as deputy commander, Lin Hao as director of the political department, and Ma Futang as director of the management department
In mid-March of this year, the provincial party committee decided that the four detachments would carry out activities in the north and south; Zhao Jie led the second brigade to develop in Feixian and other places; Hong Tao and Lin Hao led the first brigade to develop northward
The Northern Route Army soon entered Laiwu City, executed Zhang Qilin, the chairman of the traitor maintenance committee, incorporated Zhang Shoumin and Xu Jie, and formed an anti-Japanese mass organization
Unexpectedly, the Kuomintang diehards, Qin Qirong, the commander of the Fifth Column of the Kuomintang Military Commission's Special Brigade, appointed Tan Yuancun, the county magistrate, and Jing Zhaoling, the head of the security brigade, tried their best to exclude the four detachments, deliberately created "frictions," repeatedly provoked incidents, sent troops to chase our troops north, banned our rear organs, and detained Ma Futang, the manager and director of the four detachments, and his group
On 20 April of the same year, the South Route Army, which had grown to nearly 2,000, entered the vicinity of Laiwu City, and when negotiations with Tan Jing were ineffective, he took advantage of his unpreparedness at night to attack and capture without firing a single shot, and more than 360 of Tan Jing's men were captured and rescued Ma Futang and other detained personnel
In December 38, the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army was established, with Zhang Jingwu as the commander, Li Yu as the political commissar, and Ma Futang as the director of the supply department
At that time, the military supplies of the four detachments came entirely from the masses of the people who supported the anti-Japanese resistance The masses had not yet clearly understood the true features of the troops, and it was very difficult to prepare supplies
Ma Futang still insisted on relying on the masses, and he asked Kang Ning to move back to the city and live in the house of his cousin, Zhang Dayao, a partner of the Harvest Trading Company, At this time, Kang Ning also remembered Zhang Congyi and Miss Qi
In the past few days, Zhang Congyi has been in the hospital day and night to help nurse the people who were injured by the devil gendarmes Wang Aimu diligently brought her a large bag of snacks Zhang Congyi took it and distributed it to the wounded Wang Aimu was very angry about this At this time, Kang Ning also came to the hospital and asked Zhang Congyi to help buy medicine Zhang Congyi agreed She handed the spoon in her hand to Wang Aimer and led Kang Ning to find Miss Qi Wang Aimu stared at their backs jealously
Zhang Congyi and Miss Qi ran for a few days, but the stores refused to sell more, and only bought a little sporadically, Zhang Congyi was so angry that he scolded: "Profiteers have no way to end well."
Corning comforted them and said, "Don't worry, let's find a way."
Zhang Congyi's father, Zhang Dalu, is a famous doctor in a big hospital, and there may be a way Kang Ning also suggested that Wang Aimu go to Wang Aimu He has a relative who runs a pharmacy Another relative runs a commercial house Zhang Congyi said angrily: "I don't want to ask Wang Aimu for this little white face."
"You have to listen well," Corning admonished, "and it's a good thing to get more people to help fight against Japan."
Zhang Congyi had just returned home, and Wang Aimu came again
"No, no, no," Zhang Congyi sat on the bed and asked him what he had done to resist the Japanese in the past few days, Wang Aimu said, "I can't stand the eight roads, what's the use of us shouting for a while, you don't have a heart......
Zhang Congyi frowned and interrupted him irritably: "Then are you ready to be a slave of the Japanese?"
