Chapter 14 Chapter 13 Protecting the Factory, Protecting the Power Plant

All enemies have the heart of a wolf and the gall of a rabbit. May 27. The U.S. Western Pacific Fleet invaded the Qing Dynasty ships and sailed away from Jiaozhou Bay in a panic.The nearly four-year history of Uncle Sam's occupation of Qingdao Port has come to an end. The U.S. Seventh Fleet entered Jiaozhou Bay on September 11, 1945. On October 9 of the same year, 15,000 people from the Sixth Division of the US Marine Corps landed in Qingdao.Subsequently, the First Brigade of the U.S. Naval Air Force also set up camp in Qingdao.The people of Qingdao, who had just escaped from the rule of the Japanese aggressors, went out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den.Qingdao became an important base for the US Navy in the Far East.

In addition to combat troops, the United States has also set up military and intelligence agencies in Qingdao. The Western Pacific Fleet of the United States was stationed in Japan and Shanghai, Tanggu, Huludao, Taiwan, Qingdao and other places in China at that time.The total number of ships stationed in Qinghai ranged from ten to fifteen, with a maximum of twenty-five.Commander Kirk, later replaced by Baijier. Successive victories in the War of Liberation sounded the death knell of the Chiang family dynasty.The U.S. troops stationed in Qinghai saw that their defeat was set, and they were already prepared to flee.

The ground troops of the U.S. Army stationed in Qinghai have successively boarded the ship and moved to the sea since January. On February 6, Baijier declared that the U.S. Marine Corps was of little use in Qingdao, and that China's center of gravity had shifted from North China to Shanghai. On February 9, Liu Anqi, the commander of the 11th Appeasement Zone, received a telegram from the Ministry of National Defense, ordering the troops in the 11th Appeasement Zone to decide to withdraw based on the actions of the US military.On the same day, Liu Anqi learned that the U.S. fleet would leave Qing three days later (February 12), so he hurriedly begged to see Bai Jier and begged the U.S. military not to leave in a hurry.

The U.S. fleet left in a panic, and the military and political officials of the Qingdao Kuomintang, who had lost the protection of the U.S. military, were even more terrified. Feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, they all fled with money and their families, and the regime was completely paralyzed. On the same day, Cai Jinkang, head of the Sixth Regiment of the Second Security Brigade of the enemy Shandong, led an uprising in Xuejiadao, and our army quickly liberated Xuejiadao and Huangdao.The confrontation with the sea exposed Qingdao's port and wharf directly within the range of our army's artillery, seriously threatening the safety of enemy ships berthing and port navigation.These played a certain role in disintegrating the morale of Jiang's army.

On this day, the siege troops of the People's Liberation Army broke through the defensive positions on the outskirts of Qingdao and were advancing towards the urban area without stopping. May 31. Qingdao defended the enemy and was defeated across the board. The enemy fled along the second line of defense east of Baisha River through Chengyang and Liuting. The People's Liberation Army pursued the victory and recovered Chengyang, Xianjiazhai, and two water sources of Baisha River and Huangbu.In this way, the main force of our army is directed at the last line of defense of the enemy from Cangkou to Li Village.

At the same time, the command of the enemy's 11th appeasement area commanded that the large, medium and small ports and civilian ships along the Jiaozhou Bay should be concentrated in the large port, and a boat bridge should be erected in the port basin.The military and political officials of the Kuomintang knew that the end was coming, and they rushed to board the boat to escape, and there was chaos on the pier. The enemy in the city, supported by American troops, has begun to retreat by sea. At that time, "Battle Life" once reported on the achievements made at that time with the title "My Offensive Continues to Gain Progress, Liberate Chengyang, Pursue Cangkou, and Wipe Out More than 4,000 Enemies in Days".

The excerpt is as follows: Our army made major achievements in the battle from May 26th to 29th; the results of the battle, the comprehensive record is as follows: 1.

(No.: Surrenderers: 6th Regiment of the Second Security Brigade, 810th Regiment of the 270th Division of the 50th Army, 2nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade in the 11th Appeasement District. Surrenderers: a company each of the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the Qingdao Security Brigade).

Seized (including those brought by surrender) 7 mortars, 6 machine guns, 7 60-guns, 2 92 infantry guns, 55 grenades, 16 heavy machine guns, 80 light machine guns, 1,441 rifles, 48 ​​short guns, 27 submachine guns, 4 carbines, 12 grenade barrels, 2,795 rounds of various shells, 236,000 rounds of various bullets, 2,258 hand grenades, 125 bayonets, 1 radio station, 2 switchboards, 7 telephones and 1 case of other military supplies. At that time, the "Jiaodong Daily", which is the predecessor of today's "Qingdao Daily", also reported under the title "Our Army Advances to Qingdao along the Jiaoji Line, Linking to Yangnvgukou Station and Other Bases in Kecheng" and said:

(Qingdao Frontline, 31st) Under the victorious attack of our youth, that is, the People's Liberation Army on the front line, the 36th Division of the Bandit Fifty Army and the 255th Division and 266th Division of the 32nd Army guarding the "second line of defense" outside Qingdao The remnants of the division and others have already fled in embarrassment across the board at dawn today. Our army took advantage of the victory to follow up and pursue it. When India liberated Huangbu, the important water source on the south bank of the Baisha River in the suburbs of Qingdao, Liuting and Shagou on the north bank, and the city on the Jiaoji line Yang, Nvgukou stations and Zhaocun, Xianjiazhai, Songgezhuang, Houloushan, Dongwantou and other places to the south.The vanguard of our army is less than forty miles away from Qingdao.At present, our army has sent troops to protect the water source of Huangbu. Although the area was partially destroyed by the bandit army, most of the water pipes can still transport water. Our army has immediately transported water to Qingdao City.

(Qingdao Frontline Urgent Telegram on the 31st) At the same time as we crossed the "second line of defense" of Chiang Kai-shek's bandits in Qingdao, a certain unit of the People's Liberation Army on the Qingdao Frontline occupied Shimen, Wuyi Lane, and Xiejiazhuang. Yu Li. These reports on the battle situation in those years can be said to be precious first-hand materials, and it is still exciting to re-read them fifty years later. The retreating enemy army looted and captured soldiers along the way to replenish their forces.The Kuomintang military officers at all levels know that a commander without soldiers is worse than a cook.For a time, all the villages south of Chengyang were tossed up and down, the common people suffered, the chickens were caught, the pigs were driven away, and the men were dragged into strong men. The child was also caught to make up the number.Xiazhuang Town, Chengyang District was the town that had the largest number of arrested young men. There were 1,060 people who went to Taiwan that year, accounting for one-third of the total number of people who went to Taiwan in the district. Except for a few volunteers, the vast majority He was taken away by the Kuomintang army as a young man.

In Shagou Village in this town, an old man surnamed Li raised a fat pig. A company commander of the Kuomintang army stationed in this village wanted to take the pig to the labor force. The old man refused to let the pig go. mind.Before fleeing, the bandit company commander ordered his subordinates to capture the old man's son in the name of La Zhuangding. After leaving the village, he smashed him to death in the wheat field in front of the village. After Qingdao was liberated, people found the dead man in the wheat field. corpse. A group of rout soldiers from the Kuomintang captured a 19-year-old girl from Jimo. When she fled to Huayang Village (the Laoshan Reservoir was built on the original site of the village, it had sunk to the bottom of the reservoir), more than a dozen bandits were in a household. In the farmer's wing, the girls were gang-raped collectively. The fleeing Kuomintang bandits are no less than a group of brutal beasts. In the battle to liberate Qingdao, local party organizations also played a huge role, giving active cooperation to the main force.Li Zhaolan, secretary of the Chengyang District Party Committee and captain of the armed forces, led the Chengyang armed forces team to Chengyang, Haixi, Nugukou, Liuting, Guzhen and other places to publicize the great victories of the People's Liberation Army and the Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army in the newly liberated areas. To stabilize the hearts of the people, confiscate the weapons and ammunition of the guards, stragglers, and pseudo township officials.During the three days from May 31 to June 2 alone, more than 100 firearms were confiscated, including 16 box guns, one carbine, and a large number of bullets and grenades. The support of the people is the guarantee of victory for our army. During the Qing (Island) Ji (Mexico) campaign, local cadres at all levels traveled across mountains and rivers to raise food and grass, and organized stretcher teams and transport teams; former migrant workers transported ammunition on the front line, rescued the wounded, and fought bloody battles with the enemy with the soldiers. The underground party comrades in Qingdao City risked their lives to go into bandit dens to explore wolf dens, assist our army in reconnaissance of the enemy's troop deployment and fortification facilities, and instigate the uprising of the Kuomintang army, etc. Some paid their blood and lives.In addition to many of the comrades mentioned earlier in the book, the Jiaodong Military Region also dispatched Wang Huanxiang, Wang Menghen, Sun Baoshan, Yang Xuetao, Liu Yaonan, Wang Da, Sun Xuewei and others into the Kuomintang military organs to carry out secret work within the Jiang army , received good results.If there is struggle, there will be sacrifices. Just before dawn, our intelligence officer Comrade Wang Yimin was buried alive by the enemy because he was arrested. The martyrs live forever! After the Battle of Jinan, the Kuomintang authorities in Qingdao became frightened and began to force branch factories and schools to move southward, and planned to evacuate and destroy production and living facilities in the city. According to the record of the KMT army’s misdeeds, every time it evacuates a city, it must first destroy its public facilities such as water, electricity, and roads, in an attempt to stop the progress of the liberation army, and at the same time restore production in time for the Communist Party that will take over the city in the future. Creating trouble. In this regard, the spokespersons of the People's Liberation Army Headquarters and the East China Military Region issued statements on January 2 and January 11, 1949: "Seriously warn the Qingdao bandit leader that if he dares to sabotage while fleeing, he will be treated as a war crime. No mercy!" The United Front Work Department of the Jiaodong District Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Liaison Department of the Political Department of the Jiaodong Military Region, the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee, the Qingdao Work Committee and other departments, according to the deployment of their superiors, and in accordance with the underground organization of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's "cities waiting to be liberated", fully organized workers, students, and citizens to protect factories. , schools and all municipal facilities, assist the troops entering the city, and do a good job of taking over. In order to make the masses recognize the Kuomintang reactionaries."Moving south to destroy" conspiracy, underground organizations carried out propaganda in various forms. On the one hand, they widely distributed propaganda materials such as "Eight Chapters of the Covenant" and "Letter to the People of the City", and on the other hand, they went deep into the masses and proposed that "machines are rice bowls" , the factory is the hometown" and "live and die with the factory.Wait!The slogan inspired the enthusiasm of the general public and made the struggle against the southward relocation of factories and schools a huge momentum from the very beginning. Under the mobilization of underground party organizations, various forms of factory and school protection organizations were quickly established in the city.Some are secret, and some are open organizations that take advantage of the "legal" status of trade unions or are established with the cooperation and support of well-known democrats. Some protection factory (school) teams have also set up special departments such as fire protection and ambulance, and some members are equipped with By May 1949, major factories and enterprises in urban areas, such as Qingdao Branch of China Textile Corporation, Qilu Company, Telecommunications Kitchen, Port Authority, Power Plant, and Water Works, had organized factory protection teams. 3 Shandong University, Municipal Women's High School, Qingdao Normal University, the Infectious Disease Hospital, and the radio station have also set up corresponding security organizations. They have formulated signs and passwords. In case of emergency, they will set up sandbags in the factory and connect them to the power grid. Many factory protection teams have also stipulated various There are a variety of struggle strategies, including closing the door, knocking and ignoring, negotiating and coping: wine and meat hospitality, armed defense, day and night patrols, etc. Winter of 1948! , the Jiaodong District Party Committee once again sent Comrade Xu Xingjian into Qingdao City. His main task was to grasp the enemy's movements, publicize the Party's policy on the new liberated area among the upper-level people, persuade them not to move south with the Kuomintang, and try to protect the factories and factories. Municipal facilities, to prevent the crazy destruction of the enemy when fleeing.Through his United Front connections, he did hard work to keep Fan Chengchuan, general manager of Qingdao Chinatex Corporation, engineer Zeng Zaiyin, power plant Liu Wendong, education circle Zhang Peifu, doctor Chen Zhizao and others from the bureaucratic capital to stay in Qingdao and completely take over the Qingdao made a contribution. Of course, our People's Liberation Army quickly entered Qingdao in the pursuit battle, and did not give the enemy time to destroy it, which is also an important reason. What I will interject here is a story about forty thousand bolts of cotton cloth. In the evening of May 28. The second line of defense outside Qingdao suddenly exploded again, and thick gunpowder smoke filled the top of the iron cavalry. The Kuomintang in the urban area started a frenzied looting. Two Kuomintang military vehicles drove to the gate of Qingdao No. 1 Textile Factory and stopped. A dozen armed and menacing Kuomintang soldiers jumped out of the vehicle, pointed at the gatekeeper with carbines, and yelled threateningly: " Open the door! Open the door quickly!" While shouting, they kicked the iron gate violently with their feet. Night owls come to the door, there must be nothing good to do. The factory protection team of the textile factory has been controlled by my underground party. Seeing this, the guard of the factory protection team immediately blew the whistle for alarm. Following the call of the whistle, the factory guards came quickly with iron rods and wooden sticks, and gathered in front of the factory gate in unison. When the Kuomintang soldiers saw that the workers dared to fight against them and prevented them from entering the factory, they cursed carelessly: "It's so small, you bunch of stinky coolies have dared to confront the national army. Have you lived enough? Come on, brothers, get ready to shoot and let them taste the taste of this iron peanut. I don’t believe it, this horse prince has three eyes.” Then there was the sound of gun bolts rattling and rattling, and a rain of bullets and blood was about to happen. A hero does not suffer from immediate losses, and sees what tricks the enemy is playing. "Slow down, can't you speak slowly if you have something to say? What's the big deal, do you still need to use knives and guns?" Sun Jixiang, the captain of the factory guard, walked quickly to the iron gate and said quietly: "Boss, this is a factory. What business do you come here for? I didn't even say hello in advance." "What the hell is it? I don't do business. If I come, I will have something to do. Open the door quickly. If I don't know the person, my gun will not recognize anyone." A bandit soldier who looked like a platoon leader said. "It doesn't matter if you want to enter the factory, you have to wait for me to get the key to open the door. Is it worth getting so angry?" "Then hurry up and get it for me, otherwise, I'm going to shoot." The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army pressed the border, and the Kuomintang in Qingdao saw that the situation was over. They jumped over the wall in a hurry, burned, killed and looted, and could do any bad things.The military vehicles parked outside the factory gate are obviously here to rob cotton cloth, which is obvious from the lice on the bald man's head. If you fight recklessly under such circumstances, it will inevitably cause bloodshed, and it will not be able to stop the enemies with guns from rushing in.Considering the overall situation, Sun Jixiang should not lose too much because of a small loss. When he can avoid bloodshed, he should try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. He said calmly to the enemy outside the door: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go get the key and open the door for you." "quick!" The Kuomintang soldiers roared impatiently outside the door, as if they had stepped on the factory. Sun Jixiang took the opportunity to take the key and reported to the headquarters of the factory protection. Zhu Qihui, the person in charge of the headquarters and an underground member of the Communist Party of China, believed that Sun Jixiang was right. In order to avoid bloodshed, he opened the door to let the enemy in first, and then studied the countermeasures after watching the enemy's actions. After a while, the key was brought, and the iron door opened with a bang. The bandit soldiers rushed into the factory like a swarm, rushed into the warehouse, looted after a while, filled two trucks of cotton cloth, and walked away. Before leaving, he threatened to say, "It's getting late today, come back tomorrow." The team members of the factory guard watched the bandit soldiers snatch two carts of cotton cloth under their noses, and they were all suffocated and felt very useless. Worrying, what if the enemy comes to loot again tomorrow? Seeing one's labor, blood and sweat being snatched away by the enemy is even more uncomfortable than stabbing a knife in the heart of a factory guard. Factory guard team!What kind of factory protection team can't protect the factory? We must try to keep the 40,000 bolts of cotton cloth. The headquarters of the factory protection held a meeting of key members of the factory to discuss emergency measures.At the meeting, some advocated fighting the enemy desperately; others expressed concern, fearing that the cotton cloth would not be able to be saved in the end, because the iron rods and wooden sticks in our hands could not withstand the enemy's bullets.Besides, the enemy is like a group of mad dogs who have been beaten anxiously. If they can't be pulled away, they may get angry and burn the cloth! How to do it? We must think of a perfect plan to keep this batch of cotton cloth from loss and smash the enemy's robbery conspiracy. "I have an idea, I don't know if it will work or not." Xiao Liu, a security worker nicknamed "Smart Ghost", spoke from the corner. "Have any good ideas? Tell me quickly." Everyone immediately turned their attention to this clever ghost. "It's actually very simple, as long as everyone works hard, let's give those bastards a trick. Isn't this batch of cotton cloth saved?" Xiao Liu winked and said. "Oh, Xiao Liu, what's the end of the day, and the house is on fire, why are you so unreasonable! If you have any good ideas, just talk about it." Everyone urged. "Okay, I'll say it, and everyone will help to figure out if it's okay. The 40,000 cotton cloths are too conspicuously piled up in the warehouse, and it's very convenient for the enemy to rush in and pick them up; I think, if they are transferred from the warehouse to the workshop Hiding it in more than a dozen ventilated ditches so that the enemy can't find it, won't the cotton cloth be saved?" "Yeah, why didn't I think of that just now?" "Okay, this method will work." "Xiao Liu, I really have you, you are really our 'wisdom star'!" "Smart ghost, you will be doing great service for the people." Everyone was praising Xiao Liu in a hurry. Zhu Qihui, the commander-in-chief of the guard factory, was deeply inspired after hearing Xiao Liu's opinion. Seeing that the crowd's mood was very high, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "Just follow Xiao Liu's opinion. Everyone work hard tonight and transport this batch of cotton cloth to the ventilated ditch. , must not let the Kuomintang snatch it away.” Just do it, everyone in the meeting is gearing up. "Comrades, fellow workers, these 40,000 bolts of cloth are like a mountain. Of course, it is impossible for us alone to transfer them away overnight. We must mobilize all the workers in the factory to work together. We are defending ourselves. The fruit of labor. After the meeting, everyone split up and mobilized the workers to prepare for moving tools. After dark, the cloth began to be moved. At the same time, it was strictly confidential, and no news could be leaked, so as to prevent enemy agents from taking the opportunity to sabotage." Lao Zhu is making further deployment arrangements in detail. There were originally one or two hundred members of the factory guard team, but after mobilization, another one or two hundred people joined in.It is said that it is to protect the cotton cloth from being snatched by the Kuomintang, and everyone is willing to do their part. People's hearts are united, Taishan is moved, and it has always been proved to be the truth throughout the ages. In a blink of an eye, it was dark. Workers came to the warehouse, pushing and pulling with wooden pipe carts and tube carts, and some simply carried their backs on their shoulders. There was an endless stream of people coming and going.By 4 o'clock in the morning, the 40,000 cotton cloths in the warehouse were moved to more than a dozen ventilated trenches and concealed. After working all night, although everyone was sweating profusely and very tired, they became very happy when they thought that tomorrow they would sing "Empty City Strategies" to the enemy. After dawn, as expected, another group of Kuomintang soldiers came. This time, there were not two trucks, but a row of more than a dozen trucks. When the truck drove up to the factory gate, the enemy soldiers saw that the gate was open, and felt very happy, and mistakenly thought that it was yesterday evening that the workers had been shocked. An enemy soldier said complacently, "Why don't you close the door today? Well, you are afraid that the bullets will not catch eyes? To tell you the truth, no one dares to fight against the handle of the gun." No one from the workers spoke to him, they just hid aside and had fun secretly. The truck stopped at the door of the warehouse, and the bandits jumped out of the car and rushed into the warehouse. They were dumbfounded when they saw that even a piece of cotton cloth was gone in the empty warehouse. They asked in surprise, "Where did the cotton cloth go?" "Hmph, where did you go? Commander, didn't you ask this knowingly? Are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know? You came to drag Budu away at night, and you're here again today. I wonder if you're done yet? " Sun Jixiang deliberately pretended to be unhappy and complained. The enemy was stunned, but still asked in disbelief: "Who took it away, why don't we know?" "How can I know who took it away? Anyway, I'm wearing a military uniform like you, driving a car with a gun on my back, and if I don't let it go, I will shoot. What can we do?" "real?" "Believe it or not, can cotton cloth still fly?" "Go to the factory and look for it, don't let these stinky coolies mess it up." The leader of the enemy soldiers ordered. A few Kuomintang soldiers carried guns on their backs, wandered around the factory, and then went to the workshop to look. The team members of the factory guards were sweating in their hearts, and followed the enemy soldiers to monitor. Once the cotton cloth was discovered by the enemy, they had no choice but to fight with them. No one could bear to have their blood and sweat taken away by the enemy. These Kuomintang bandit soldiers who had never been in a spinning mill had their eyes darkened when they entered the workshop. They saw rows of machines and iron frames, but no cotton cloth.They didn't know there was a ventilation trench at all, so they had to come back and report to their leader: "No cotton cloth was found." The enemy leader really believed it now, so he left resentfully. Before leaving, the enemy soldiers were still wondering, which part pulled the cotton cloth away?The Kuomintang army in Qingdao is not a faction, they can only guess wildly like a dog biting a dog. Forty thousand bolts of cotton cloth were saved. This is the success of Qingdao's underground party organization leading the workers to unite and fight wittily and bravely, and skillfully deal with the enemy.Qingdao No. 1 Textile Factory survived a pre-dawn catastrophe. In the early morning of June 2, the troops of the People's Liberation Army entering the city entered Cangkou. Under the leadership of the underground party organization, Yimian's workers immediately started writing slogans, making banners and welcome flags, lined up neatly, and took to the streets to welcome the arrival of the People's Liberation Army.The factory, which had been controlled by the Japanese capitalists and the Kuomintang for nearly thirty years, finally returned to the hands of the people. The working class in Qingdao really stood up. The workers of Qingdao Power Plant, also under the leadership of the underground party, actively carried out the struggle to protect the factory and prepared to welcome the arrival of the People's Liberation Army. When talking about the struggle to protect the Qingdao Power Plant, the name Zhao Jingye must be mentioned. Zhao Jingye, 20 years old, is a vigorous young man. He is an underground party member secretly sent by the Qingdao Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China to open up underground work in the Qingdao electrical industry system. After graduating from high school, he worked in Qingdao Power Plant and secretly joined the underground party. Later, because his identity was exposed, he quietly left Qingdao and escaped the enemy's pursuit.Arranged by the organization, I came to Dianji Town, Jimo County to set up a secret contact station, under the cover of opening a restaurant and hotel, and disclosed my identity.Streak stack.Mr. Accountant. Responsible for collecting intelligence, transporting cadres, the work is quite good. However, the good times don't last long. A small negligence in underground struggles will often lead to endless troubles. This accountant who uses steel notes to keep accounts out of the ordinary has attracted the attention of the Central Committee's secret agents.When he found out that he had been targeted by the spies, he had to leave Jimo and returned to the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee's residence in Pingdunan Village. In order to welcome the liberation of Qingdao, the Municipal Party Committee decided to put the heavy burden of leading Qingdao electrical workers in the struggle to protect the factory on this young Communist. Although the weight is small, the wisdom of the Communists cannot be measured by age. Qingdao, on the eve of dawn, was the darkest period. News of the disastrous defeat of the frontline Kuomintang army kept coming, which made the panicked Kuomintang Qingdao authorities really nervous.The outskirts were heavily defended to resist the People's Liberation Army from entering the city; in the urban area, there were 22 secret service agencies, large and small, forming a cobweb-like surveillance system in such a small area.At 8 o'clock every night, the whole city is under martial law, and there will be a city-wide raid every so often. It is extremely difficult for the underground party to carry out its work. The underground party members who are caught are either shot or thrown into the sea to feed the fish. White terror hangs over Qingdao. Let people talk about the color of the tiger. At this time, the Qingdao Electric Industry had not yet established an underground party organization, and the labor union had no members of its own. Zhao Jingye sneaked back to work in the enemy-occupied area of ​​Qingdao under such an extremely difficult and extremely harsh situation.Before leaving, the leaders of the municipal party committee repeatedly asked: This trip is no small matter, and the responsibility is heavy. Even if you are begging for food with a stick, you are not allowed to withdraw! Zhao Jingye risked being imprisoned and beheaded at any time, and threw himself into this pre-dawn contest without hesitation. All beginnings are hard. After leaving Qingdao for several years, Zhao Jingye is no longer familiar with the electrical industry.Before entering Qingdao, when the organization introduced the situation, it was mentioned that there was a substation watchman named Liu Fangting in the power plant, who was the executive supervisor of the "yellow trade union" of the Kuomintang. As for Liu Fangting's background, he didn't know anything about it. In order to open up the situation, Zhao Jingye decided to meet with Liu Fangting to see if there was any possibility of winning. Knowing others is easier said than done.What is the law?People who don't know each other, who are neither relatives nor friends, are they willing to meet? The ancients had a saying that frowning and thinking about it.Zhao Jingye grew wise in a hurry, and also used clever tricks to meet Liu Fangting.He asked Yu Gongbo, a revolutionary classmate who worked in a power plant, to invite Liu Fangting, pretending that he hadn't seen each other for a long time, and invited him to have a drink at home.Liu Fangting believed that he would go to the appointment as scheduled, Zhao Jingye sat at home and waited to meet Liu Fangting. When Liu Fangting stepped into Yu's house, he saw a young man sitting on the kang of Yu's house. He thought he was a relative of Yu's family, and he didn't know what to say, but the young man spoke first: "Mr. Liu, it's been a long time. I'm from the north." , The superior sent me to Qingdao to look for you, saying that you are the executive supervisor of the second labor union and dare to speak up for the workers. We appreciate this and feel that you are very decent and have a sense of justice." Liu Fangting was stunned by the sudden words. He knew the meaning of the word "North" in his heart, and he was so nervous that his face was sweating for a while, because he was not mentally prepared for this, and he didn't know what to do. To deal with this sudden scene. Before he came back to his senses, the young man said again: "Mr. Liu, don't be nervous. Let's meet today first. I have something to ask you in the future. I'll see you in a few days, okay?" Liu Fangting didn't know how to answer, so he simply turned his head, turned and went out.This was a meeting without dialogue. According to various signs, Liu Fangting has a good quality and can be used as a target. Zhao Jingye made a decisive decision, struck while the iron was hot, and found Liu Fangting's home on Jinzhou Road that evening. His sudden arrival surprised Liu Fangting. "Mr. Liu, can't you think of it?" Zhao Jingye greeted first. "Ah... didn't you say it a few days ago? Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't expect you..." Liu Fangting was a little incoherent. "Anyway, it's fine. Come by and talk to Mr. Liu. It's homely, aren't you welcome?" Although he reluctantly gave up his seat, Liu Fangting tried to escape by going out to buy vegetables and fetching water.Zhao Jingye pressed Liu Fangting enthusiastically and said calmly, "I've already eaten the meal, don't worry about it, let's just sit down and talk, okay?" In order to relieve the other party's concerns, Zhao Jingye told Liu Fangting non-stop all night about the "North Side", the dying struggle of the Kuomintang, the teacher of civilization and the policy of benevolence and justice of the Communist Party. A smile gradually appeared on the Internet, the estrangement was eliminated, and the conversation became more and more speculative. Liu Fangting also cooked rice with a gas stove. The two of them ate and chatted. As soon as their hearts were opened, they both opened their minds. Liu Fangting immediately expressed his willingness to accept the leadership of the Communist Party.He did what the Communist Party ordered. This night, Zhao Jingye stayed at Liu Fangting's house. Through Liu Fangting, Zhao Jingye developed successively.Jia Qingchen and Wang Sichen, another executive supervisor of the "Yellow Labor Union", later developed several people in the Taitung Substation. At this point, Qingdao Electric finally had its own underground organization of the Communist Party. Based on this, the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee instructed: Unite all forces that can be united, quickly shift the focus of work to the struggle to protect the factory, and must not let the Kuomintang take away a screw from the power plant, so as to ensure that the People's Liberation Army enters the city with a bright light. Several underground party members split up and went to the workers to do propaganda: .The factory is the livelihood of our workers, and it is very chaotic outside. Once bad guys break into the factory and destroy the factory, how will our family live? " Such propaganda and agitation resonated with the workers. At the same time, the underground party took advantage of the actual control of the trade union leadership to put forward the idea of ​​protecting the factory secretly, that is, to guard the factory gate to prevent outsiders from trespassing, to keep an eye on the machinery and equipment, and to beat bad guys out with sticks if they dare to destroy them. This form of secret protection of the factory is effective for some bad guys who sabotage, but what if the reactionary authorities jump over the wall and send troops to blow up the machine?That's a stick that won't solve the problem.If you want to protect the factory well, you should have a gun. This gun should preferably appear in a legal form. After discussing and researching, the underground party put their ideas on the factory security team.Therefore, Jia Qingchen and Liu Fangting came forward and invited Sun Kemian, the factory security captain, to Jia Qingchen's house for a drink in the legal capacity of the standing supervisor of the trade union.During the banquet, they were very close, and Jia Qingchen proposed that the three of them become sworn brothers. In order of age, Liu Fangting was the oldest, Jia Qingchen was the second, and Sun Kemian was the youngest. The three of them kowtowed together and swore to the Tianmeng. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, they also said in their mouths: "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day." The underground party in the electric industry has an armed force to protect the power plant. Afterwards, Sun Kemian asked his eldest brother and second brother to play in the security team, and told his subordinates: These are my elder brother and second brother, and they will be allowed to come to the team from now on.In this way, the work of protecting the factory will be more reliable. In addition, Wang Genren, who was in charge of the security squad in the factory, was also won over. In order to firmly control the security squad, Liu Fangting, who was originally from Laoshan, heard that the security squad leader Wang Wenyun was also from Laoshan, so he took the initiative to establish a relationship with his hometown and invited him to his home. Drinking, this relationship pulled out a pair of relatives, Tian fulfilled his wish, everything went smoothly, and the security squad became an important armed force for the secret factory protection. When the situation was urgent, the secret protection factory urgently needed to be converted into an open protection factory. The underground party decided to let Liu Fangting and Jia Qingchen, as standing supervisors of the trade union, go to the factory headquarters to meet with the factory director Xu Yiguan and Liu Wendong, the assistant, and persuade them to agree to organize workers to protect the factory, and Make specific comments. Xu Yiguan has heard for a long time that Hu Yanmo, the chairman of the trade union, is busy seeking a way out with the upper echelons of the Kuomintang, and the factory trade union has actually been controlled by the two people in front of him.At that time, they didn't know that they were the Communist Party, so they didn't dare to underestimate their demands, but they didn't want to take them seriously, so they came up with a compromise.Except for agreeing that workers can take shifts to guard the factory, other requests such as purchasing guns were all rejected. But later, as the situation changed rapidly, the Kuomintang authorities began to dispatch military police, broke into some factories, looted and destroyed them. The current situation is dangerous, and everyone is making quick choices. Liu Fangting and Jia Qingchen had an appointment with Xu Yiguan for the second time, and told him that they should state their interests with righteousness.This time, he may have realized the seriousness of the current situation, so he didn't take much trouble, and agreed quite happily. Q: What if someone from above is sent to bomb the equipment?Can the factory pay a sum of money to block a blockage? Answer: Yes. Another question: Can the parts of the main power generation equipment be disassembled, transferred and sealed up in case of emergency?Xu Yiguan hesitated for a while and agreed, and offered to allocate a batch of gold bars to Xu Guozhang, the director of the power station, and ordered him to keep them in case the equipment was in danger. The upper management of the factory allowed the protection of the factory, and the struggle to protect the factory finally turned from a secret to an open one. Under the instructions of the party, Liu Fangting and Jia Qingchen secretly sent people through the Gaomi Association in Qingdao to purchase nine rifles to strengthen their prestige.Workers have also asked to participate in the factory protection. The factory protection team has grown from 30 to 40 people at the beginning to 80% of the entire factory staff. They are automatically mixed with the guard squad and security team, and they take turns to patrol day and night.Later, even some middle-level managers asked to join in, which made the protection factory go from open to legal. At this time, many people in the factory already knew that it was the Communist Party that organized the protection of the factory secretly, and their confidence became stronger, and they managed to ensure that the production of the factory was correct.The Kuomintang reactionary military and police attempted to sabotage the power plant three times in succession, all of which were defeated in the struggle to protect the plant under the leadership of our underground party. The first time was one morning not long after the Spring Festival, a small boat sailed from the sea, and an officer and two soldiers got off the boat, claiming that they were ordered by their superiors to come to dismantle the generator shield for military use. Menacing. The factory guards took it easy and asked them to show the order text, but they couldn't take it out. The factory guards cheered and surrounded them. Seeing the large number of factory guards and their guns, which they didn't expect, they lost their courage and had to pat their buttocks and walk away in despair. The second time, the Kuomintang security department sent three or four soldiers in plain clothes to ask to check the terrain and main equipment of the power plant.The factory guard workers knew that the visitor was not good, and analyzed that the enemy may have come to gain first-hand information in order to destroy the power plant.So, he took the initiative to pass cigarettes and tea, introduced the situation, and then led them to the coal factory. Taking advantage of the enemy's ignorance of the electrical industry, he lied that the coal hoist was the most important equipment, and fooled these bastards over. The last time was three days before liberation, that is, May 31.A dozen Kuomintang soldiers with guns, led by an enemy company commander, forced their way into the factory, but the gate guards did not stop them. The visitor proposed to set up two machine guns on the roof of the main factory building, with the muzzles facing north, and the intention was self-evident.我地下人员赶紧佯装害怕地说：“老总，房顶上有两道高压电，俺们谁也不曾上去过，要上你们自己上吧。”国民党兵都是些银样蜡枪头，一听说有高压电，谁也怕被电死，只好作罢。 在整个青(岛)即(墨)战役期间，护厂工人们吃住都在厂里，基本没有回过家。家属们送饭到厂外，隔着电网扔进去，一直坚持到6月2日中午，人民解放军完全收复青岛。 6月2日中午，市内不时响着稀疏的枪声。 电厂护厂工人站在楼顶上，看到国民党兵仓皇往海上逃跑，目迎着人民解放军昂首进城，心情都十分激动。 在地下党的领导下，青岛电厂保住了，敌人的一切阴谋，都化作泡影。 青岛电厂发电供电没停止一分钟，这在战争期间是十分不容易的，它保证了生产和生活的正常运转，为安定民心起了重大的作用，不管是政治账，还是经济账，从哪个角度都是无法用数字来计算的。 这座山东境内最大的电厂，完好无损地回到了人民的怀抱。 需要提及的是，青岛解放后，赵景业先是被安排在《青岛日报》秘书科工作，后辗转好多地方若干部门，1965年秋天又重新回到了电业，直至1988年离休，再也没有离开过电业。离休时任青岛电业局教育科科长，今年整七十岁。
