Yihezhuang belongs to the new silt land, at first several families of Zhanhua and Lijin came to reclaim the wasteland, and it was called Li Shouguan's house and Li Dalong's house, and later after the number of houses gradually increased, it was called "official land" again. Because more and more people gathered here to cultivate the land, and they all emphasized righteousness and good unity, so since the spring of 1929, the "official land" was officially renamed Yihezhuang. In the early years of the Republic of China, the jurisdiction of Zhanhua County was managed by the district system, and Yihezhuang belonged to the 6th district.

Because Yihezhuang is surrounded by new silt land, the land is wide and fertile, known as "grain mountain and cotton sea", and it is extremely rich. Foreign businesses abound, the famous businesses here are Lithographic Bureau, Hongxiang Warehouse, Wood Factory, Yanbin Building, Ruifuxiang (BJ) Silk Plain Cloth Village, Hengju East Oil Mill, Chunlaizhan Flour Mill (Jinan), Steamlamp Inn, Hongzi Zhujia Oil Mill, Jinan's HSBC Tea House, Tianjin's Douliang Bureau, Wu Dongting's Bow House, Tongju Department Store, Tongrentang Pharmacy, Jining Chinese and Western Pharmacy, etc., the small grocery stores and restaurants on the street are next to each other.

Yihezhuang has a large number of people, abundant grain and cotton, rich resources, and economic and trade is also very prosperous, and it is the central market town on the Lubei Plain. At the same time, because Yihezhuang is bordered by the Bohai Sea in the north and the Yellow River in the south, and the vast Yellow River estuary is a new silt at the intersection of the Yellow River estuary, the reeds, the tamarix forest and the Haihe River in the east, and it is also a natural barrier for the troops to build a village, and it has gradually become a place where the surrounding Japanese puppet bandits fight back and forth.

Soon after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang government army was defeated and retreated, and large areas of China's rivers and mountains continued to fall, and the remnants of the Kuomintang government army were defeated, and some of them retreated to the barren grass depression at the mouth of the Yellow River.

At the beginning of 1939, He Siyuan, the head of the Kuomintang Lubei Agency, led a battalion of the Kuomintang Shandong Marine Corps to be stationed in Yihezhuang, and at the same time, he incorporated more than a dozen bandit teams in Zhao'an, and established the 3rd Brigade directly under the Lubei Agency, with 3 regiments and a total of about 1,300 people stationed in Yihezhuang. In addition, the Kuomintang Shandong Security 3rd Regiment, the regiment commander Wang Jiaju led 1,500 officers and soldiers to camp near Yihezhuang. These teams were mixed, all waving the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, shouting anti-Japanese slogans, raising military salaries everywhere in Yihezhuang, and constantly oppressing the people.

"-What man?! Password! ”

In the morning mist, the Marine sentries outside the garrison saw a group of men and horses approaching from a distance, and hurriedly raised their hands and raised their guns, and shouted loudly.

It turned out that He Siyuan's third company of marines was stationed in Potai Wuzi Village, Yihezhuang. On this day, as soon as the sky was dark, the sentry suddenly noticed that a team was taking advantage of the haze to raid and immediately questioned the password, but the other party could not answer.

As soon as the sentry heard that the voice was wrong, he realized that it was a sneak attack by the enemy, so he immediately fired a gun to call the police, and fired several shots at the opposing team in succession. A devil officer was immediately shot and fell off his horse. The attacking Japanese army shouted in surprise, howled and screamed, scattered in formation, and quickly outflanked the village.

Several gunshots woke up the Kuomintang officers and men of the Marine Corps in the village, who knew that the big thing was not good, and the officers and men of the Marine Corps did not dare to resist, so they hurriedly chose a way to flee. Because the commander was wounded, the Japanese soldiers who entered the village with red eyes did not see a single national soldier except for the guns and ammunition and military goods that were discarded all over the ground, so they were doubly angry and vented their anger on the innocent people.

Armed with spears with bright bayonets, they screamed and searched from house to house, arresting anyone they saw and killing those who escaped. In an instant, the whole village turned into a hell on earth, and the cries of fathers calling sons, sons calling mothers, and wives looking for husbands enveloped the entire village.

Han Yulin, a six-year-old girl, fled from the village with her mother, aunt and sister-in-law in a panic. The girl was young, the other women were all small-footed, and the sister-in-law was pregnant, so several people gradually fell behind the back of the crowd.

In a panic, they ran to the wheat field outside the village, and they were overtaken by five or six devils, who bared their teeth and grinned, and kept stabbing the little girl with bayonets and playing with her mother and sister-in-law, so that several people were crying and dodging left and right. After a while, the devil got up, and stabbed the three of them in a pool of blood with a few knives in succession. The girl's aunt screamed and didn't run a few steps, but was also stabbed to death by the devil. The little girl was stabbed more than a dozen times, and because she was wearing a thick cotton skaze, she didn't hurt the fatal place, and curled up in a pool of blood and passed out......

Mr. Fu Baotang, a private school, was sitting in the courtyard, and was suddenly startled by the shrill screams of the village, and as soon as he went out, he ran into the devil coming. Several devils forced him with bayonets, croaking and screaming, and because he could not understand the devil's question, he hurriedly ran away, which provoked the devil to be furious. The devil soldier screamed and pounced, stabbing him more than a dozen times. It wasn't until Fu Baotang's flesh and blood were blurred and lying on the ground and twitching that he laughed wildly and walked away.

Fu Baotang fainted on the spot, and later after rescue, he finally came back to life, and since then people have called him "Devil Left".

As soon as villager Guo Yusheng escaped from his house, he was discovered by two devils, who forced him into the pigsty step by step with a bayonet. Suddenly, a devil lifted a stone from the pigsty and smashed him to death in the pigsty......

The team of devils searched inside and outside the village, arrested more than 50 villagers, tied them up with ropes, and forcibly drove them to Yihezhuang.
