After Zhu Aizhou led the people to retreat to the mountainous area, he was full of worries about the loss of the country, and he fought hard every day, encouraging the soldiers to slash the big knife at the enemy's head, recapture the county seat, and recover the country. In order to educate the soldiers in patriotism, he personally invited the 57th Army Field Service Regiment and the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Lu Anti-Japanese War Mobile Troupe to perform in the troops on many occasions.

Once, he watched the "Exile Trilogy" of the Service Corps with the soldiers, and the tragic scenes of the lost country displayed on the stage were unbearable to see and hear. He was filled with grief and indignation, burst into tears, and couldn't help but raise his hands and shout: "Kill the enemy to serve the country, and return me to the mountains and rivers!" Under the influence of the patriotic passion of the county magistrate, the soldiers were full of emotion, and the cries and slogans in the audience suddenly converged into a torrent.

After watching "Put Down Your Whip" starring Comrade Lin Bai, an actor of the Eighth Route Army, I shouted with tears in my eyes: "I, like everyone, if I don't sincerely resist Japan, I won't be in life!" ”

Comrade Lin Bai (formerly known as Dou Xiuyu) was a native of Liaocheng County, Shandong Province, and was born on September 8, 1920. Her childhood was spent in poverty and hardship, and the reality of poverty and backwardness in old China, the ruins of the country and the suffering of the family, made her yearn for revolution since she was a child, and at the age of 17, she resolutely threw herself into the revolutionary torrent of resistance against Japan and salvation.

In October 1937, she participated in the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Anti-Japanese War Mobile Troupe, served as a member of the troupe, captain and other positions, and promoted anti-Japanese resistance with full patriotic enthusiasm. Because of her heroic and outstanding performance in the struggle against the enemy, she joined the Communist Party of China only one and a half years after joining the revolution, that is, in March 39.

During the war years, she moved to the north and south, and successively worked and fought in the party, government, and military organs such as the first branch of Kang University and the South Branch of Luzhong. He used to be the head of the sister troupe of Shandong Province, the captain of the propaganda team of the Luzhong District Party Committee, the captain of the Yimeng propaganda team, and the section chief of the Organization Department of the Luzhong No. 2 Prefectural Committee. For the birth of New China, he was born and died, and fought bravely.

At the same time, it also organized a repertory troupe and a singing team to tour the streets and alleys of the county seat and rural market towns such as "March of the Volunteers", "Defending the Yellow River", "Fighting Back to Hometown", "Song of the Great Road" and other anti-Japanese songs.

Soon, the devil cavalry fled north from Ganyu County along the Lan Road, and wantonly burned and looted in Beibalu Village, Ganyu County. After Zhu Aizhou received the information sent by Song Jiliu, he immediately organized a large team of the Standing Corps to cooperate with the hoe team to stop the little devils, killing dozens of little devils and seizing more than ten war horses.

Then, Ai Zhou personally led people to surround and capture nearly 100 Japanese puppet soldiers in Beidasha Village, the county, and captured the Japanese commander Ruo Omiya alive.

In the autumn of this year, a large number of tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched to attack the Huangchuan River and the Dasha River. Zhu Aizhou, accompanied by Song Jiliu and others, personally led the county corps to bravely resist the attack, and the soldiers took the initiative to climb onto the devil tank, lifted the lid, stuffed grenades into the tank, used the butt and wooden sticks to pry the tank tracks and used grenades to blow up the tracks, the battle lasted from noon to dark, the two sides fought for nearly 10 hours, the devils were seriously hit, the county corps suffered many casualties, and the captain Zhu Qilun was seriously wounded.

The spirit of our anti-Japanese warriors who are not afraid of sacrifice has greatly deterred the little devils. County Magistrate Zhu and his team practiced the oath of "killing the enemy to serve the country and returning us great mountains and rivers" with the actual action of resisting Japan.

In the past few days, the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in most areas of Ganyu have been immersed in Huandong.

After being severely beaten, the enemy puppet army in the Ganyu area was busy shrinking its strongholds, replenishing troops, and redeploying its troops, and did not dare to move out of the nest for a while. Under the pretext of being stopped by the county standing brigade, the villages did not send food to the strongholds. Jiao Dadao and his wife gave Tengben a bad idea, released the caught people to exchange grain and grass, and asked the pseudo-security chiefs of each village to send grain to ransom people.

The environment has changed greatly, just like unloading 10,000 catties of boulders on your body, which is really happy. Zhu Aizhou's Kuomintang and Republican armies won the battle, which greatly encouraged the anti-Japanese army and people in Ganyu, and anti-Japanese squadrons were established in various parts of the urban and rural areas, and organizations from all walks of life were set up to save the country, and the anti-Japanese and national salvation activities were unprecedentedly active. The common people of the county and all kinds of people have united to fight against the enemy together.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and after a while, nine horses passed through the fog and appeared on the avenue in Weijialing Village, north of Ganyu.

Running in front was Zhu Aizhou, who pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down, and took a deep breath, the air was moist and fresh, making his brain more sober. He gently wiped the water droplets from his eyelashes and said to himself, "What a fog." Will the little devils take this opportunity to attack us? ”

Liu Jiping, Song Jiliu and the six guards followed closely, taking advantage of Zhu Aizhou's slowing down, Liu Jiping immediately came up, walked side by side with Zhu Aizhou, and took Zhu Aizhou's words and said: "Yes, it is really possible for the enemy to take advantage of this opportunity to retaliate against us!" Just in case, it's better to withdraw the main force into the mountains first,"

Zhu Aizhou looked ahead, turned his face to look at Liu Jiping and said, "A few days ago, you were not at home and you had transferred the three main regiments to the mountains for repair, if the enemy really came, it would be really troublesome. ”

Song Jiliu on the side interjected and said: "No wonder I didn't see the soldiers as soon as I entered the village, you had already transferred them away, Lao Zhu, how is it?" I can't regret it. ”

Song Jiliu and Liu Jiping laughed together......

"Hey, hey." Zhu Aizhou made a gesture of stopping and said, "Boss Song, have you really forgotten that with your old hoe team here, we are not afraid of any kind of enemy!" His heartfelt words showed the level of trust he had in the hoe team.

Tengben got the scorched knife, like a hungry wolf pounced on a dead dog, gnawing on it with taste, and scratching and playing with its paws. Due to Jiao Dadao's "efforts", he was able to find out some secret information about the local armed forces in Ganyu County, Binhai District. According to this information, he won the victory of the attack on Ganyu City, and almost injured the standing brigade of Ganyu County.

The unprecedented "big victory" of these bad things to capture Ganyu City was rewarded by the Haizhou Command. Tengben happily drank the celebration wine for three days in a row. But the joy was as fast as a fart, and Huangchuan, Dasha River and other places suffered defeats, which simply gave Teng Ben a blow to the head and made him faint.

What particularly gives Tengben a headache is that the withered grass on the land of Ganyu is about to turn green, and the wheat seedlings are growing vigorously in the spring breeze. In this long period of time, it was the most active period for the hoe team and the Kuomintang guerrillas, they could haunt the green yarn tent, and make waves like a fish in water, and his good days were not long.

In order to deal with these situations, Tengben sent a report to the headquarters, and he expanded the information provided by the traitor leader Jiao Dadao nearly tenfold, saying that several anti-Japanese teams had gathered in the northwest of Ganyu and asked his superiors to send troops to attack. He felt that if he could take the mountainous area northwest of Ganyu, the Chinese army and all the anti-Japanese organizations would be like fish out of water, and there would be no big game to play.

Soon, Tengben was called to Haizhou. The little devil commander personally read his report and deeply felt the serious threat posed by the Chinese army and the hoe squad to the Longhai railway and various docks. The waterways and railways here are the main long-distance routes from east to west, north and south. Keeping the traffic safe here now is more important than taking a provincial town.

In particular, when this shit-soaked shit heard the names of several anti-Japanese teams gathered in the mountainous areas northwest of Ganyu Qian listed by Teng Ben: the three integrated regiments of Ganyu County Standing Tourism, the 667th Regiment (Wan Yi Regiment), the 672nd Regiment (Bai Xilu Regiment), and the Ganyu Standing Corps of the 112th Division of the 57th Army of the Kuomintang, he was even more surprised.

Although this shit has been feeling the nervousness of the soldiers recently, in this case, he said to Tengben: "You go back first, get more detailed information about Ganyu County, and I will immediately transfer a large force to Ganyu to help you destroy all the enemies on the spot." ”

On the fourth day of Tengben's return to Ganyu City, the little devil's military trucks drove over from the south in a steady stream. It turned out that the troops of the devils attacking to the west got on the bus from the Lianyungang wharf, and happened to pass by here, and the commander of the Haizhou devils asked them to carry out a large-scale attack in the northwest area of Ganyu by the way.

The army of little devils got off at the line from Mussel to Haitou. Both sides of the highway were filled with Japanese puppet troops, stretching from the side of the highway to the sea, and the villages were full of bad things. Since it was a land battle, many horses were also brought down from the trucks.

The information of the enemy's large-scale secret attack was sent to Zhu Aizhou. Zhu Aizhou ordered people to go to the commanders of other anti-Japanese armed forces to discuss countermeasures. The enemy's intention to secretly attack the base areas of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was already obvious.

The few troops stationed in the northwest region of Ganyu and the Ganyu Standing Brigade are the people and horses that Teng Ben reported to his superiors, but these teams are only a fraction of Teng Ben's description, and even the hoe team only has a reconnaissance team of twelve people here; The Wan Yi Regiment and the Bai Xilu Regiment of the 112th Division of the 57th Army of the Kuomintang also each had only one recruiting company here, and the Ganyu County Standing Corps had the largest number of people, and it was only a literary and artistic team and logistics squadron of less than 200 people.

There are more than 260 people directly under the headquarters of the Ganyu Standing Brigade, and they can be regarded as the "big brother" of the garrison in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. However, Tengben mistakenly thought that there were five main regiments in this place, a general team (regiment), and a hoe team that terrified the little devils.

Therefore, the commander of the Haizhou devils mobilized 30,000 puppet troops to secretly attack Weijialing, the seat of the Zhu Aizhou County Government. Because the old devil not only saw the seriousness of the problem from these total troops, but more importantly, he sweated from the strategic position of Ganyu County, so he was determined to completely take the entire territory of Ganyu and eradicate the troubles.

At the military meeting of the commanders of the various units, Zhu Aizhou analyzed the situation at that time, and he proposed that all units should be dispersed and withdrawn and leave this focal area immediately.

However, that night, a platoon of the Bai Xilu regiment tried to break through the encirclement, and as soon as it came out of the neighboring village, it was beaten back, because all the surrounding villages were full of enemies, and they had been tightly sealed by the enemy, and a large area of wheat was set up with large and small artillery, and from a distance, they looked like a zombie with a bloody mouth, ready to pounce on the Chinese soldiers and civilians at any time. It seems that there is no possibility of entering Shandong from the northwest.

Now, only from the southwest of the village of eight houses to break through to Lushan. But there is no endless grove of trees, and there are no leaves on the trees, and there is nowhere to hide, but I don't know what the situation is there? If there is also an enemy blockade there, and there is no way to go up the high mountains, they will be forced to fight in the wheat fields of the common people and the hills on the edge of Weijialing Village.

However, the upright Kuomintang contingent such as Zhu Aizhou and Wan Yituan, who loved the common people, did not want the common people to suffer, not to mention that most of these people were peasant children. Zhu Aizhou was hesitating, and the intelligence came: "The southwest region has also discovered the enemy's men and horses, and they are moving back and forth there." This is the only way out, and the enemy is also cut off. ”

The villages around Weijialing were heavily surrounded by the enemy. By all indications, the chances of a breakout are extremely slim. However, all the commanders and commanders made up their minds: "They will stick to this temporary county government seat and put forward the slogan of living and dying with Weijialing." ”

Zhu Aizhou and Liu Jiping both objected to this slogan, knowing that fighting hard with an enemy who outnumbered us dozens of times in strength was an act of lifting a stone to shoot oneself in the foot.

So, he said seriously: "In order to kill the arrogance of the devil and the puppet army, it is okay to fight, but in the process of fighting, seize the favorable opportunity, and try to stand out. If the team runs out, it will be in the mood of the wolves and dogs, because they will really pull out our big nail. ”

County Magistrate Zhu said earnestly: "We must try to rush out and preserve our strength so that we can continue to fight the enemy here stubbornly." The devil's deployment of heavy troops to deal with the Ganyu region is only temporary! ”

During this extraordinary period, County Magistrate Zhu set up a unified command and divided the defensive areas. Song Jiliu volunteered to defend the southeast corner by the hoe team and the standing brigade, which was facing the direction of Jiuliqi and Haitou, and was the closest to the main force of the little devils, and was the main area of the enemy's attack.

In fact, these civilian and logistical personnel plus more than a dozen members of the hoe team have become the main force here, with three small cannons, 19 machine guns, the best weapons, and the combat effectiveness is okay, so they should bear the brunt of it.
