The Yimeng Mountains were the three most important old revolutionary base areas during the Chinese Revolutionary War, along with Jinggangshan and Yan'an. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Later, Yimeng was praised by countless revolutionary descendants as "the holy land of the two wars, red Yimeng".

Liu ~ Shaoqi, Xu Xiangqian, Luo Ronghuan, Chen Yi, Su Yu, Gu Mu, Luo Binghui and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation fought and lived here, leaving a large number of revolutionary relics.

Among them, during the anti-Japanese period, General Zhang Zizhong was in Linyi, successfully blocked the famous Banyuan Division, gained time for the deployment of the Battle of Taierzhuang, and made great contributions to the stability of the entire war situation in Shandong.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, 1.4 million of the 4.2 million people in the old Yimeng area joined the army to support the front, and 30,000 outstanding sons and daughters of Yimeng dedicated themselves to the battlefield.

"The blood of 100,000 heroic martyrs in the Yimeng Mountains is spilled on the battlefield, there are red sisters-in-law in the townships, and there are martyrs in the villages." This is the truest portrayal of the Anti-Japanese War.

During the Huaihai Campaign of the Liberation War, a total of 5.6 million people were sent out as migrant workers, of which nearly one million came from the Yimeng Mountains.

Marshal Chen Yi once described it very vividly: "The Huaihai Campaign was pushed out by the people of the old Yimeng area with a small cart", and at the same time said: "I can't forget the people of Yimeng when I enter the coffin, they raised the revolution with millet and pushed the revolution across the Yangtze River with a small cart." ”

At this moment, Ouyang and Ruinian, the commander of the third battalion of the Longtou guerrillas, and several soldiers were standing on this fertile soil, looking at the Yimeng Mountains not far away.

Ruinian pointed to the distance and said, "Commander, we have now come to the Linyi area, and it is estimated that in a few hours, we will be able to reach the first column of our army in Shandong." ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing this, Ouyang nodded and sighed: "Yes, we are finally about to reach our destination, and it is not in vain that we have a hard trip, oh, by the way, Rui Nian, you will tell the brothers later, but don't relax, the current Linyi area is not peaceful." ”

Linyi is not peaceful?

Of course it's not peaceful!

The first place where the Japanese offensive broke out in Shandong's sweep was Zibo and Linyi.

Among them, the Japanese army responsible for attacking the Linyi area was as many as 30,000 people!

Ouyang and a few people, starting from the Taishan Mountains, passed through the Japanese army's checkpoint on the way, and even had a few confrontations, fortunately the bravery of the soldiers, all the way to the thrilling come.

Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Rui Nian, we came this time, but it is of great significance, if we can get the help of the first column in the Yimeng Mountains, it will have a huge effect on us to smash the Japanese army's sweep, and at the same time, it will also have a positive significance for our counterattack on Handan." ”

"Yes, Commander, I see." Ruinian nodded yes.

Ouyang glanced up at the sky.

The sun was already in the west, and it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Brothers, let's set off, and we must arrive at the headquarters of the first column in Shandong before sunset today." Ouyang Lang said.

"Yes, Commander." Ruinian and the others replied loudly.

At that moment, everyone rode away on war horses, bringing up a long period of smoke and dust.

At this moment, Ouyang's mood was a little excited!

The first column of the Eighth Route Army in the Yimeng Mountains was formerly known as the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, which was established in 1938.

The first column of the Eighth Route Army was established in May 1939, with Xu Xiangqian, deputy commander of the 115th Division, as the commander and Zhu Rui as the political commissar, commanding all units of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, Hebei, Lubian, Northern Jiangsu and other regions.

"Xu Shuai, that's an old friend!"

Ouyang is very familiar with Marshal Xu Xiangqian, this is not only the kind of familiarity that later generations have with the revolutionary ancestors, but in this era, Ouyang has been with him for a while.

As early as the Battle of Pingxingguan, Ouyang really knew Xu Xiangqian, and after achieving the great victory of Pingxingguan, Xu Xiangqian also invited Ouyang to drink wine to thank Ouyang for his achievements in the battle.

Since then, although Ouyang and Xu Xiangqian have never met, they have also written and exchanged several times.

Being able to see Lao Shuai again this time, Ouyang's heart was of course a little excited.

At the same time, for Zhu Rui, the political commissar of the first column in Shandong, Ouyang is also a revolutionary martyr who has been friends for a long time.

"If the name Zhu Rui is not familiar with the history of our party, not many people will have heard of it, because he died in 1948."

In October 1948, during the battle to capture Yi County, the Chinese People's Liberation Army used captured American howitzers for the first time. In order to understand the performance of this artillery, before the battle was over, Zhu Duan came out of the command post, unfortunately hit a mine on the way, and died heroically at the age of 43.

"Otherwise, among the ten generals of our army, there must be him!"

"Zhu Rui, the first artillery of our party and our army!"

During the period of the Red Army, he successively served as a special commissioner of the Central Committee, chief of staff and secretary general of the Military Commission of the Yangtze River Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, section chief of the General Headquarters of the Red Army, a teacher at the Red Army School, a political commissar of the Red Army, a political commissar of the corps, and director of the Political Department of the First Front Army.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he successively served as Secretary of the Military Committee of the Northern Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Director of the Organization Department of the Northern Bureau, Secretary of the Shandong Military and Political Commission, Political Commissar of the 1st Column, and Secretary of the Shandong Branch of the CPC Central Committee.

During the War of Liberation, he successively served as vice president of the Northeast Military and Political University, president of the Northeast Artillery School, commander of the artillery of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region and commander of the artillery of the Northeast Field Army.

In July 1948, Zhu Rui participated in the preparations for the Liaoshen Campaign.

The leadership of the military district decided to leave him in the rear to preside over the work.

But Zhu Rui insisted on going to the front line, so he asked Chairman Mao to fight: "I was in the rear in the last two years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and now that I finally have a campaign to liberate the Northeast, I should take artillery to the front line." ”

Chairman Mao understood Zhu Rui's mood very well, but he thought that the artillery would inevitably be equipped with the main force of infantry to fight, so it was obvious that Zhu Rui would be demoted.

But Zhu Rui didn't care about this: "As long as I can go to the battlefield, it doesn't matter what level I have!" ”

Chairman Mao once commented on Zhu Rui and said: "You are the marshal of China's artillery."

On October 1, 1948, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out in a telegram of condolence: "Zhu Rui has made outstanding achievements in the artillery construction of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and his sacrifice is indeed a huge loss to the cause of the liberation of the Chinese people. ”

General Lin Zong, commander of the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Northeast Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, commented on Zhu Rui: "With his scientific mind, Zhu Rui has carried forward the idea that 'artillery is the god of war,' and has achieved remarkable results in the Northeast Liberation War in the past two years, especially in the battle of tough battles, and has raised the arms of the People's Liberation Army by one step. This is Comrade Zhu Rui's greatest contribution to the People's Liberation Army and an indelible achievement to the people."

Later generations once praised Zhu Rui with a poem: "Young people strike class to seek truth, and go to the Soviet Union for further study with perseverance." Counterattack the encirclement and suppression of the bloody rain, and conquer Shaanxi and Gansu to annihilate the stubborn enemy. Yan'an Artillery School led the way, and achieved great results in the Northeast Battlefield. The heavens and the earth roared and decayed, and the heroes were martyred and wept. ”

These seven-law poems evaluate Zhu Rui's life.

Hu Shizong, a military poet of later generations, said: "Zhu Rui is the father of our army's artillery, and he deserves this title!" ”

April 25, 1939, 5 p.m.

Ouyang and Ruinian and others came to the depths of the hinterland of the Yimeng Mountains, a small village called Qinghe, which was less than an hour's journey from the headquarters of the 1st Column of our army.

But who knew that the sudden change would take place!

A Japanese army of about 100 people broke into this place by mistake and carried out a brutal massacre of the people of Qinghe Village!

The sound of gunshots and the screams of the common people constantly stimulated Ouyang's nerves!

"Holy shit, fuck!"

Rui Nian and several other soldiers around him were also angry with their blood and qi rushing to Tianlinggai, and under Ouyang's order, they brazenly launched an attack on the Japanese army.
