Comrade Fang Xiao and Comrade Song Jiliu hurriedly arranged the venue, they first moved a square table and put it under the ginkgo tree, then brought ten jars of wine, and also took hundreds of large bowls of coarse flowers, and built a big fire with dry firewood next to it.

The memorial service has begun!

Aunt Wu, a villager, suffered a gunshot wound on her right arm, and half of her sleeve was stained red with blood, seeping through layers of gauze. People advised her to lie down and rest, but she was willing to listen, witnessing this terrible bloody case, her chest had long been scratched as if it had been scratched by iron claws. Is it sadness? No tears! Is it pain? No moaning! Filling her chest was a volcano of anger, an ocean of hatred! How can all this be suppressed, how can you not tell the villagers?

There was no sound in the big field of thousands of people, and Aunt Wu's accusations touched people's heartstrings word by word. When she talked about Yang Liu holding the enemy and rolling into the sea of fire, and Liu Heiqi ordering the machine gunner to open fire on the crowd, the audience rang out, "Avenge Yang Liu!" Avenge the folks! The slogan shook the earth and resounded in the night sky.

Wang Lushui saw that the emotions of the crowd were burning like fire, and he walked to the table and began to speak. First of all, he affirmed the above victories, pointing out that from the perspective of the whole region, the strength was preserved, the enemy was struck, and the enemy's plot of great offensive was smashed, and this was the brilliant result.

Therefore, Wang Lushui emphasized: "As long as we follow the report made by Comrade ** at the meeting of senior cadres in Yan'an on April 12 this year, he pointed out: 'The task now is to be prepared to shoulder a heavier responsibility than in the past. We must be prepared to defeat the Japanese invaders from China under any circumstances. In order for our party to be able to shoulder this responsibility, it is necessary to further develop and consolidate our party, our army, and our base areas, pay attention to the work of large cities and major transportation routes, and put the work in cities and base areas in an equally important position. If we continue to fight on the correct line, we will be able to achieve the final victory in the struggle. ”

"Good!" The Way.

It can be seen from this that Wang Lushui's speech has greatly enhanced people's confidence.

Then, Wang Lushui lifted the big awl that Yang Liuhong had just found, and said excitedly in his unique loud voice:

"Comrades, fellow villagers, 'the red flag of the revolution is dyed with blood, and the flowers and fruits of victory must be irrigated with blood and sweat', you see this awl, it is a witness of Comrade Yang Liu's bravery and fearlessness, and it records the indomitable spirit of our Chinese nation. Comrade Yang Liu is our glory and our pride! We have to learn from her! Carry forward her tenacious and unyielding spirit, dare to fight, dare to win! When one person falls, tens of thousands of people stand up and vow to wipe out the Japanese devils! ”

"Boom" was a few thunderbolts, resounding in the sky, and the heroic sound of Wang Lushui spread to thousands of miles of mountains and plains.

People were sweating hot on their faces, and their eyes were shining with a sparkle of light.

The rifles, broadswords, and spears on his back and the shiny scissors in Wang Lu's sailors were shining and shining under the blazing firelight.

Chen Xiaolin didn't know where to find a big rooster, twisted his head, and the red blood dripped into the wine, he picked up a big bowl of chicken blood wine and handed it to Wang Lushui, Wang Lushui solemnly took it, glanced at everyone, raised his head, took a big sip, and then handed the bowl to the old district chief, and then passed it to Zhang Guangzhong, Chen Xiaolin, and Aunt Wu......

Wang Lushui watched the wine bowl pass in the hands of one person after another, and suddenly a tiger man stepped forward and snatched it, and drank it with a grunt. Wang Lushui saw that it was Song Jiliu, he came to help according to Gu Mu's order, they all came back, right? Wang Lushui was about to walk over and ask, but saw Zhang Guangzhong, who was presiding over the oath-taking ceremony, raised his fist, Wang Lushui also raised his fist, and the crowd present also raised their fists:

"We swear—"

"Swear an oath!"

"Unite to resist Japan and never retreat!"

"Unite to resist Japan and never retreat!"

"Turn grief into strength and ask Liu Heiqi to repay the blood debt-"

"Turn grief into strength and ask Liu Heiqi for blood debt!"

"Follow ***, always move forward-"

"Follow *** and always move forward!"

This steel oath is like a forest roaring tsunami, pregnant with endless power, shaking the heavens and shaking the earth......

As soon as the memorial service ended, Wang Lushui found Song Jiliu and asked him about the visitor.

Bad thing Liu Guitang, a giant bandit, the word Xingtian, because of his black appearance, ranked seventh with the bandits, nicknamed "Liu Heiqi". A native of Fei County, Shandong Province (now Pingyi County). Poor from an early age, he herded sheep for landlords from the age of 12 to 20, and in 1912 he went to Qingdao to make a living as a stevedore.

Returning home in 1915, gangs up as bandits, headed by Liu Heiqi, kidnapped tickets for ransom, robbed homes and houses, when the warlords were in the period of melee, bandits suffered from military disasters, and the people were not able to make a living, Liu Heiqi took the opportunity to take the mountain area as a nest to expand his strength, he gathered Xia Xingde, Li Man, Su Si and others to worship as brothers, and then worshiped Xu Fude, Liu Keren and others, gathered more than 60 people, gathered in the area of Fugui Dingshan Mountain in Cangshan Bay, sometimes scattered, sometimes assembled, and did the work of bandits who killed people and oversold goods.

In 1916, Zhang Huaizhi, the overseer of Shandong, ordered the suppression of bandits at all levels in order to maintain local order. Zhai Wenlin, the patrol officer of Fei County, led a company to suppress Liu Heiqi's gang and killed Liu Heiqi's brother Liu Heiba. After Liu Heiqi was defeated, he led the remnants of the bandits to the Baoqinggu Mountains and continued their activities.

In 1918, Zhang Shuyuan, the overseer of Shandong, sent Li Sen, commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Army, to be stationed in Linyi. Soon, they sent Zhuang, the commander of the third battalion, to Liangqiu, Fei County to maintain law and order. Liu Hei Qiyan was greedy for the weapons of the Zhuang camp, and tried to rob the weapons and ammunition, but he did not succeed. Liu Heiqi commanded the bandits and set fire to Liang Qiu's houses, grain, firewood and grass, causing the masses to live in the frames of the houses.

Soon after, the overseer of the Eastern Province, Tanaka Yu, sent the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division to the Baoqinggu Mountains to encircle and suppress the bandits. After more than seven months of siege, because of the steep mountains, the peaks and ravines, and the fact that the officers and soldiers were not familiar with the terrain, they only defeated a few small bandits, including Liu Heiqi. So, Liu Heiqi, who has milk and is a mother, defected to the giant bandit Sun Meiyao, and Liu Heiqi became a horse for the time being.

In 1923, Sun Meiyao was recruited by Tanaka Yu and later killed. As the saying goes: "Fall into dispersion", the Black Seven Gang, together with the Tengxian bandits, took the opportunity to collect the remnants of Sun Meiyao. It has successively flowed to Mengshan, Xiaozhushan, Shangye, Tianbaoshan, Xueqing, Fangcheng, Wanggou, Zhuyuan, Wusheng, and Baibu, but at this time Liu Heiqi was still less than 1,000 people.

The slogans originally put forward by Sun Meiyao were changed by Liu Heiqi to "kill the rich and help the poor" and "the calf cultivates the farmland, and the calf manages the meal in the ten acres and eight hectares, and the money should be paid in the tiled house". Since then, there are often groups of small bandits who defect to Liu Heiqi, and some ruffians and hooligans who are forced by life also come to defect, and Liu Heiqi's department has developed rapidly.

Soon, Zhang Heiyan and Liu Heiqi broke up. Zhang Hei led the bandits into the ground of Jiangsu, and Liu Heiqi still stayed in place to "eat the grass by the nest".

In 1925, Liu Heiqi's number of people expanded to more than 1,000 people, and he was known as the so-called "Liu Tuan". According to the bandits' name, Liu Heiqi is the "big pole head", and the following are Xia Xingde, the second pole head, Liu Keren, Lin Xingtian, etc., who are the main and deputy battalion commanders. And Liu Heiqi is the self-proclaimed "head of the regiment".

Whenever he "hit the bib", Liu Heiqi put down the silver dollar, the box gun, called "sticking money", and promised to open the bib, and the eldest daughter and little daughter-in-law can choose at will. Therefore, some bandits want daughters-in-law, money, and death. Some bandits reported themselves bravely and desperately fought around the fence. When the fence is opened, he robs his wife, robs property, kills people and sets fires, and does all kinds of evil.

At the same time, after the warlord Zhang Zongchang was appointed as the overseer of Shandong, he sent the brigade commander Huang Fengqi to lead the brigade to the Lunan Mountains to suppress the bandits. Zhang Zongchang and Huang Fengqi both felt that Liu Heiqi was not easy to mess with. On Mengshan, the official army fought with Liu Hei's seven bandits, and the government army could not defeat the bandits, so they dropped a large number of weapons and ammunition. The bandits were given weapons and dropped large quantities of silver dollars on the battlefield. When the government troops attacked the mountain again, they were overjoyed to see the silver dollar, so they fired their guns into the sky for a while, and dropped their weapons.

In this way, the government army got a lot of silver dollars, but Liu Heiqi got a weapon to kill. However, this brigade commander Huang Fengqi panicked and said that he "returned victorious", which is really a big joke in the world.

In this way, not only did they not suppress the bandits, but they fueled Liu Heiqi's arrogance even more, and the bandits became more and more suppressed. came and went, but Liu Heiqi was "suppressed" into 10,000 people. Liu bandits were numerous and powerful, and their evil deeds spread throughout Shandong, Jiangsu, Hebei, Henan, and other provinces, attracting the attention of the new warlords of the Kuomintang.

Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang First Group Army, sent He Yingqin, chief of the general staff, to lead his troops to defeat Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu coalition army and stationed in Lunan. Liu Heiqi fell in love with the signboard of Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang.

So, Liu Heiqi voted for He Yingqin in 1928. Liu Heiqi led his troops to be recruited in the eastern part of Teng County. In order to show his comforting dedication, He Yingqin personally led the crowd to attend the recruitment ceremony with Tang Enbo, Gu Zhutong, Tan Yankai and other dignitaries. Liu Hei's 7th Division was organized into the new 4th Division, with Liu Hei7 as the division commander, and there were four brigades, Xia Xingde, commander of the 1st Brigade, Liu Keren, commander of the 2nd Brigade, Wu Liangjie, commander of the 3rd Brigade, and Lin Xingtian, commander of the Pistol Brigade.

Liu Heiqi, in the name of the "Northern Expedition Advance Army", drove from the eastern part of Tengxian County to Juxian County and Jiaodong, boasting about his official duties along the way. Liu Heiqi changed from a bandit to a dignified division commander of the regular Kuomintang army, and people's "disgust" with Liu Heiqi's department turned into "envy". Liu Heiqi led his troops to Ju County and was welcomed by local gentlemen and presidents of the Chamber of Commerce. Not long after, Liu Heiqi married the niece of a bully landlord and became a little wife.

In October 1929, during the war between Chiang and Feng, Liu Hei's 7th Division was ordered to defeat Feng Yuxiang's troops in the Yuxian area, and was congratulated by Chiang Kai-shek, calling it the "Iron Fourth Division", and in the winter of the same year, it was transferred to Linru. But this guy was dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek because he failed to get promoted.

Yan Xishan learned that with the promise of high-ranking officials, Liu Heiqi rebelled against Chiang and defected to Yan during the Central Plains War in 1930, and his headquarters was organized into the 26th Army, and he was appointed commander and given a gift of 2 million yuan and a number of light and heavy weapons. After Yan Xishan was defeated in the war and wanted to return to Jin, Liu Heiqi saw that the general trend had gone, so he refused to accept the transfer and left Yan to go north. In July of the same year, he went to the Daimyo of Hebei Province.

Later, Liu Heiqi saw that the northeast was strong, and after sending people to contact, he was organized into the sixth mixed brigade of Yu Xuezhong's department, and served as the brigade commander, Chiang Kai-shek hated its capriciousness, so Liu Zhi commanded three divisions and a brigade to suppress and annihilate most of it, Liu Heiqi led more than 2,000 people back to Shandong, and still harassed the mountainous area of southern Lunan.
