In September 1934, Fu Zhuting served as the director of the Political Department of the Second Division of the First Red Army.During the Long March, the Second Red Division was one of the vanguard troops.Together with other leaders, Fu Zhuting led the troops, ate and slept in the open, conquered passes and made many military exploits. At the end of 1936, he entered the first phase of senior cadre study at the Chinese Anti-Japanese Red Army University in Wayaobao, Northern Shaanxi. In May 1937, he served as deputy director of the Political Department of the Fourth Red Army. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out, the main force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army.Fu Zhuting served as the director of the Political Department of the 686th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In August, the 115th Division was ordered to start from Sanyuan, Shaanxi, cross the Yellow River east, and go to the Anti-Japanese Front.

The troops arrived at Ranzhuang from Taiyuan via Yuanping.The superior ordered to pay close attention to the preparations for the battle of Pingxingguan.In order to fight this battle well, Fu Zhuting made an encouraging mobilization at the whole regiment meeting: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. The soldiers of the people must have the backbone of the Chinese. To eliminate Japanese fascism, fight against the Eighth Route Army Majesty, avenge the shame of the Chinese nation, and revenge for the suffering compatriots!" On September 25, the Pingxingguan war that shocked China and foreign countries started.The 686th and 685th Regiments of the 115th Division, with the cooperation of neighboring troops, set up an ambush circle to attack the 21st Brigade of the Itagaki Division of the Japanese Army.The commanders and fighters fought bloody battles, annihilating more than 1,000 Japanese troops and destroying more than 100 enemy vehicles. They thoroughly exposed the lie that the "imperial army is invincible" and inspired the enthusiasm of the army and civilians for the war of resistance.

In late September 1938, some units of the 343rd Brigade, which was ordered to march eastward, joined forces with local troops in Leling County, Hebei-Shandong Border Region, and formed the Eighth Route Army’s Eastward Anti-Japanese Advance Column. Xiao Hua served as commander and political commissar, and Xu Shiyou served as deputy commander. , Deng Keming served as the chief of staff, and Fu Zhuting served as the director of the political department.Fu Zhuting led the political department of the column and some troops to move around Yangxin, Huimin, and Shanghe. They used guerrilla tactics to destroy roads, pull out strongholds, and attack east and west, making the Japanese and puppet troops panic.

In the spring of 1941, Fu Zhuting, who was promoted to the political commissar of the Second Brigade of the 115th Division, was ordered to lead his troops eastward and enter the Binhai District.At this time, in Ganyu, Tancheng, Haizhou (now Donghai County) and other counties, bandits were rampant, puppet troops were rampant, and the situation was chaotic.In order to fight against this gang of puppet troops, in March of that year, Fu Zhuting led the Second Brigade, and with the cooperation of the Second Brigade of the Shandong Column, launched the Battle of Qingkou in Ganyu.In 4 days of fierce fighting, more than a thousand enemies were wiped out, 8 Japanese and puppet strongholds including Haitou, Xingzhuang, and Zhuduji were pulled out, a large coastal area from Qingkou to Zhewang was recovered, and ties with Central China, Jiaodong and other places were communicated .

In the early spring of 1943, in order to cooperate with the "mopping up" by the military and civilians in the Hebei-Shandong Border Region and Qinghe District, and smash the enemy's attempt to blockade the coastal area, the Teaching Second Brigade was ordered to capture the fortified Japanese puppet stronghold of Tancheng. On the evening of January 19, guns and guns were fired, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the general offensive began.Fu Zhuting and brigade commander Zeng Guohua led the commanders and fighters of the second brigade and local armed forces, passed through the dense enemy and puppet checkpoints, and went straight to the South Pass of Tancheng.There are two city gates in Nanguan. The city wall is about two feet high, the trench is more than ten feet wide, and the fortifications are complex and strong.They observed the situation on the battlefield and felt that a strong attack would be disadvantageous, so they decided to open a gap in the middle of the artillery tower at the southeast corner of the city where the enemy's firepower was weak.Therefore, the commandos were organized to use ladders to set up the pontoon bridge, and blasted open the first city gate under the rain of bullets.At this time, the enemy frantically blocked with intensive firepower, which blocked the attack of the Second Brigade and increased the casualties of the troops.In the middle of the night, the vicious enemy released poison gas, and the troops had to stop attacking temporarily.

In a hut outside the city, the brigade headquarters held an emergency meeting.Some comrades advocate retreating to avoid being flanked by the enemy inside and outside.After a while of silence, Fu Zhuting stood up and said to everyone: "Withdrawal, of course, is safe, but the siege plan will all fail. We have paid a considerable price. Now we have to concentrate all light and heavy weapons, fight with our backs, rush into the city, and win the victory." !” He raised his hand and said passionately: “My opinion, fight resolutely!” At the critical moment, Fu Zhuting’s opinion was adopted.

At dawn, an order was sent to the regiments.In an instant, all the light and heavy machine guns and mortars roared like a wave, and the dense rain of bullets headed towards the enemy's top of the city like a wind.Then, follow-up troops rushed into the city.Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy urgently asked the puppet county government to send more troops to rescue them.Fu Zhuting immediately ordered the blasting team to blow up the courtyard wall of the puppet county government. The puppet army and government personnel were terrified, crying for their father and mother, and raised their hands and surrendered.This battle created a brilliant example of our army capturing a city in an enemy-occupied area with a fortified battle.Conquered 18 enemy strongholds, killed or wounded more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops, captured more than 600 enemy and puppet troops, and captured 7 Japanese soldiers, and seized a large number of firearms, ammunition and daily necessities.The dark city of Tan has returned to the hands of the people.

On March 18, 1943, the breath of spring was everywhere.The Shandong Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Shandong Military Region have made a decision that the party committees and prefectural committees of each district will implement "unified" leadership and unify military command. In late April, the Binhai District Committee of the Communist Party of China was renamed the Binhai District Committee of the Communist Party of China. The first part of the Second Teaching Brigade of the 115th Division, the First Teaching Fifth Brigade, and the first part of the Second Teaching Brigade of the Shandong Column were combined into Binhai District, and the designation of the Second Teaching Brigade was revoked.Fu Zhuting was appointed secretary of the Binhai District Committee of the Communist Party of China and political commissar of Binhai District.On November 20 of this year, together with other leading comrades of the military region, he led the troops to liberate Ganyu County, annihilated more than 2,000 people including the 71st Brigade of the Puppet "Peace and Founding Army" and the Puppet Security Team, and smashed the Japanese army's opening of the sea (state). Qingdao (Island) Highway, the plan to "encroach" the coastal base area. On November 22, in order to avoid the sharp edge of the enemy, the troops of Binhai District voluntarily withdrew from Ganyu County and moved to Dantou Township, Heilin District.

On November 26, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and the troops were divided to attack the Binhai District Office.Fu Zhuting led his troops to counterattack the enemy bravely.When breaking through, unfortunately, he was injured and fell off the horse.After the rescue failed, he was honorably martyred. After Fu Zhuting's death, Bin Haimin complied with the martyr's last wish and buried him on the majestic Anti-Japanese Mountain.Luo Ronghuan, commander and political commissar of the Shandong Military Region, praised him as an excellent cadre with strong military and political capabilities. In the winter of 1944, the people of Ganyu renamed the county "Zhuting County" in memory of the martyr Fu Zhuting.
