Chapter 26 Chapter 25 They used to be passionate

My grandpa's grandpa, when he went to Nianzigou, Fengcheng County, Fengtian Province, when he crossed the Guandong, he felt, in my grandfather's words, "grease coming out of his fingers".The grandpa's grandpa, who was in his prime, knelt on his knees and kowtowed three times. After saying something to pray for the blessings of the gods of heaven and earth, he gave an order to my three exhausted childhood grandpas: don't go That's it, this is the venue! From Shandong to the Northeast, my grandfather's grandfathers were all out-and-out farmers, and farmers who have never seen the world: Compared with the vast and pure black land of the Great Northern Wilderness, is this oily water still called oily water? ?

The Sanjiang Plain, formed by the impact of the Songhua River, Mudan River, and Wusuli River, is rich and fertile, and is the top grade of chernozem, among which Yilan, Ning'an, and Mishan are the most, and Tulong Mountain is the best in Yilan. . Tulong Mountain is an administrative district of Yilan County. It is located at the junction of Yilan, Huachuan and Boli counties. It is named after a dragon-shaped mountain in the northwest corner.This is a gateway to the county seat. There are many mountains in the northeast and plains in the southwest. Laicai River, Songmu River, Qihuli River, and Bahuli River run through the whole area. The rivers are beautiful and beautiful, and it is a paradise for farmers. In the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), someone came here to develop it.Before the Tulongshan uprising, more than 40 natural settlements in the whole area were divided into 6 Baos, with more than 70,000 residents and about 130,000 arable lands. , the second year is "half-life barren", and the third year is "recooked land") accounts for about half, and is rich in soybeans, adzuki beans, sorghum, corn, millet, japonica and other crops.

The invaders are here. In 1936, the Kwantung Army drew up a draft of the "Manchurian Agricultural Migration Plan for One Million Households". The Japanese Hirota Cabinet adopted this plan and designated it as one of the seven major national policies, while the Puppet Manchurian puppet regime made it one of the three One of the "national" policies. The so-called "Millions of Households Migration Plan" means that from 1937 to 1957, it took 20 years to move 1 million households and 5 million people from Japan to Northeast China.At that time, it was estimated that the population of the Northeast would reach 50 million in 20 years, and these 5 million people plus natural reproduction, the Japanese would account for about 1/5 of the total population of the Northeast.

Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan has continuously invaded the outside world. The casualties in the Russo-Japanese War alone were more than 100,000 people, almost all of whom came from farming families.Japan is a small country with limited arable land and a surplus of rural labor. In the "September 18th" Incident, the Kwantung Army created a "Manchukuo" and then a "Millions of Households Relocation Plan", and these people began to travel across the ocean to "break through the Guandong". This is not an immigrant in the usual sense, not to mention that they were all armed with murderous looks in the early stage.For example, the "Mirong" pioneering group stationed in Mengjiagang, Huachuan County in February 1933, also known as the "Jilin First Brigade of Reclamation", was completely organized by the Japanese army. 493 households were organized into 4 squadrons and 12 small teams. In addition to the rifles (pistols) for each of the lieutenants, there are also 4 heavy machine guns and 2 mortars.

The devil's calculations were shrewd.After immigrating, these people not only solved their own difficulties and relieved the burden of Japan, but also increased food production for the empire, and strengthened the security force of "Manchuria".After the first group of armed immigrants arrived in Jiamusi, a brigade of Japanese troops stationed there withdrew.And emigrating to the Sino-Soviet border area is of great significance for the Japanese army to advance northward and prevent the Soviet Union from going south.When one million households are successfully relocated, and even the structure of the residents is changed, it will be an "iron-struck 'Manchukuo'".

Donggong Tetsuo, regarded as the "Father of Pioneering" and enshrined in the shrines of pioneering groups in various places, was a captain of infantry of the Kwantung Army and a military adviser of "Manchukuo". The headquarters is stationed in Yilan.The fertile land on both sides of the Songhua River left a deep impression on him, and while "suppressing bandits", an idea came up.In view of the lessons learned from the failure of Taiwan's immigration, he strongly advocated the group's armed immigration. The question is how do the people in the immigrant areas live?

Let’s take a look at the “Petition to the Japanese Consul General Morishima in Harbin” by Li Dongsheng, a representative of Huachuan County, on June 12, 1933: The villagers of Mengjiagang, Huojiaying, Baligang, and Yongpinggang in Yongfeng District, Huachuan County, have a total of 1,195 farms with official title deeds, 4,535 farms of wasteland, 96 large houses, 150 small houses, and 26 wells , Grind 5 pieces.This year your country's reclamation army came and took all the land and houses in our four villages as their property.Since the land we purchased and the houses we built were occupied by the reclamation army, most of the villagers will lose their jobs, and many people will leave their hometowns because they have no way out of life.We take agriculture as our industry and earn income from the production of five grains, and each household relies on it to support the old and the young, but now these lands are not owned by us.We originally had land and houses, but they were occupied by the reclamation army, so we had no land to cultivate and could not make ends meet. How could we settle down if we had no houses to live in? If we encountered bandit soldiers, we would have no funds to move to a suitable area. What is this? Difficult situation.

Without land, without productive capital, we would starve to death.Therefore, the villagers of our four villages elected six representatives including Li Dongsheng and Wang Jingjiu to come to Kazakhstan, and requested the Consul General to pay a considerable amount of money for the land and houses occupied by your country’s reclamation army as a show of compensation, just to prevent us from being separated and to ensure people’s livelihood. With a little humanity, can you refuse such a request? The first armed immigration point is Mengjiagang, Huachuan County, and the second is the Tulongshan area, Yilan County.

The pioneering group wants to plant land, where does the land come from?purchase.In order to prepare for large-scale immigration in the future, the 10th Division submitted a report to the Kwantung Army Command in October 1933, to purchase 1.65 million arable land in Yilan, Huachuan, Boli, Baoqing, Hulin, and Mishan, accounting for 6 60% of the county's arable land.Among them, Yilan is 355,000 yuan, accounting for 75.5%.The purchase price was originally announced as 10 yuan per farm for cultivated land and 1 yuan per farm for wasteland, but in practice they all became 1 yuan.At that time, the buying and selling price of land in Yilan was 121.4 yuan per farm for high-grade cultivated land, 82.8 yuan for medium-grade cultivated land, 58.4 yuan for low-grade cultivated land, 60.7 yuan for high-grade wasteland, and 41.4 yuan for medium-grade wasteland.

Simultaneously with this rare enclosure movement in human history, civilian guns were collected. In mid-February 1934, the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Ministry of External Affairs, the 10th Division, and the East Asia Quanye Company sent personnel to form a land acquisition agency, and sent the second team of the special work team to Yilan. Whoever did not hand over the land certificate, Just broke in and ransacked the box.Sometimes, before the group left, the gunners would come again, making a fuss and smoky atmosphere. Northeast folk guns have long existed, and more were scattered after the "September 18th" Incident.It's you Japanese who caused chaos in the world. Even you dare not leave the city easily for fear of being beaten. We use guns to guard the house and protect the grounds. Why do you take them away? "Playing the first month, making troubles in February, and falling to March", in April, it is time to get busy preparing for farming. You have taken away the land, so what do farmers expect?Even if you buy it and pay 10 times the price, you have to be willing to sell it!

What added fuel to the fire was that the pioneering groups in the Mengjiagang area lacked farm tools, livestock, and some didn't even have seeds, so they robbed local farmers, and even went to the Tulongshan area to rob. Some old people said: For generations, we only heard about "officials forcing people to rebel", but this time the Japanese forced them to have no way out. From the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the "dragon raising its head" on February 2nd, the sound of firecrackers in the countryside is constant.But when the sound suddenly sounded, people's hearts would tighten, and they hurried to see if the person who took the gun and took the photo came. Jing Zhenqing, Chief of the 5th Baojia, and Cao Ziheng, the 2nd Baojia of Tulongshan, took advantage of the Spring Festival to visit friends and went to Dawa, Laicaihe, and Shuanglonghe to connect with each other. 5 Xie Wendong, director of the Baobao and head of the self-defense regiment, was calm on the surface, but he was also active in secret. Xie Wendong's image, in the words of the old man Wang Jun, is short, thick and fat, like a jar, with a bit over the top. Xie Wendong is a native of Kuandian County, Fengtian Province. He was born in 1887. He studied in private schools for several years.Due to debts from the purchase of land, the creditor forced him to pay the debt, so he took the risk and kidnapped him. He was arrested by the government and fled to Fengcheng County with his family, and then flew away to settle in Taiping Village, Tulong Mountain West, Yilan County.This man is strong and intelligent, and he has made friends with people from all walks of life. In the second year of Tulong Mountain, he became the director of protection and the head of the self-defense regiment. After the "September 18th" Incident, he served as the head of Li Du's self-defense army. During the spring plowing in 1933, the Mengjiagang Pioneering Group, known as the "bandits" by the common people, robbed the farmers of Bahuli for their cattle.Soon, the "bandits" came to rob again. Xie Wendong and Jing Zhenqing armed themselves and killed several of them. Throughout the fourteen years of the Puppet Manchukuo, before the Tulongshan riot, it can be regarded as the basic stage of destroying Zhang Xueliang's rule.Attacking the Volunteer Army, seizing large and medium-sized cities, and confiscating railways, mines, banks, etc. have not directly endangered private property in general, especially the propertied classes in the countryside.In order to buy traitors and cobble together a puppet regime, the Japanese will visit celebrities and big households and say some comforting words every time they occupy a piece of land.But its aggressive behavior and established policy are destined to conflict with the interests of the propertied class.The first round is the enclosure, the second round is Guitun, and Guitun is not without the elements of enclosure. Xie Wendong has more than 10 houses, 45 fields of land, more than 20 cattle and horses (horses), and two carts.This is a big landlord in South Manchuria, and even one of them is not considered a slippery one in North Manchuria.But no matter what class you are, this time you will be stabbed in the neck by the Japanese.For the "Hericium erinaceus" mentioned above, if the devil hadn't ruined his little wife, it would be impossible to fight the devil that night.In order to protect the family business, it is unknown whether he will seek protection from the Japanese in the future.However, when the Japanese want to "buy" his land, or want him to return to the village, and burn down his compound if he doesn't leave, will he also fight the devils desperately? At the beginning of March, a letter of approval came from the county seat, saying that the Japanese were coming to Tulong Mountain to confiscate the land photos. Reason with the Japanese, if you don't reason, you'll be against his mother!The crowd is passionate. On the 8th, Xie Wendong and Jing Zhenqing led the troops to Taiping Town.Along the way, regardless of the big grain growers or ordinary farmers, those carrying box guns, rifles, and old foreign guns, people kept joining, and more than 2,000 people gathered.This is to defend the land, the countryside, and the lifeblood they depend on for survival. Taiping Town is a big town second only to the county seat.The false county magistrate Guan Jintao heard the change and rushed to put out the fire, saying that it was an order from above, and hoped that the villagers would understand his difficulties.The representatives of the rioting peasants said, you can't be the master, let the Japanese come. On the morning of the 9th, rioting peasants occupied the puppet police station. Guan Jintao hid in Tongxing Cheng Shaoguo compound, and shouted at the troops outside in the blockhouse: "Zhang Xueliang's Fengjun can't even beat the Japanese. Don't you give it for nothing?"Taijun Iizuka will bring troops tomorrow, don't touch the egg with the stone, go home as soon as possible and prepare to hand in the gun and passport. This kid's intention was to intimidate, but the result was tantamount to sending information, and sent Colonel Iizuka Chaowu, the captain of the 63rd Regiment of the 10th Division, to the gate of hell. It was a beautiful ambush waged by peasants. This morning, the sky was blue, the earth was silvery white, and the sun was dazzling on the snow.Baijiagou, about 4 kilometers west of Taiping Town, is a village stuck at the bend of the road leading to the county seat. Hundreds of rioting farmers waited there early in the morning.Tulong Mountain is fertile and rich. There are only 10 households in Baijiagou, and there are 3 quite famous courtyards. "Short Yard Set", all have gun towers.On the other commanding heights on both sides of the road, old foreign guns, big lifting poles and various rifles of various colors that can hold a "Wan Guo Gun Show" today are also set up in the snow. At 10 o'clock, the lookout post on the roof shouted, came.There was a big car in front with a machine gun mounted on the cab, two small cars behind, and finally two big cars.The convoy drove up to the back hill of Baijiagou, went downhill to the corner and found a roadblock. Before the car stopped, gunshots rang out.In an instant, the roar of rifles, box guns, and old foreign cannons filled Baijiagou. The enemy thought it was a misunderstanding, so the pseudo-police captain Gai Wenyi sitting in the car opened the window and yelled stop beating, I am Gai Wenyi.Seeing that the situation was not good, Iizuka ordered the Japanese and puppet troops to retreat to a roadside cemetery to resist.The five machine guns that became trophies after the war, if they are properly arranged and launched, the rioting peasants will never sacrifice only one person.But the first burst of random shooting killed the machine gunner of the first car, and Iizuka was killed before he could swing the command knife a few times. The enemy fled towards the county town, and the rioting peasants began to pursue them.At this time, a cavalry team of more than 200 people was organized from Taiping Town and rushed to reinforce.The surrounding people heard that there was a fight with the devils who handed over their guns and passports, and they also ran towards Baijiagou with guns, sticks and iron teeth. In the Battle of Baijiagou, 17 Japanese soldiers were killed, and all the puppet military police were captured alive except Gai Wenyi who was killed. Many articles and materials about the Tulongshan riot used the words "shocking China and foreign countries".The New York Times reported on it at the time. The "Millions of Households Relocation Plan" came from the hands of the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army left the "Manchukuo" government aside from the very beginning, and directly "bought" the land through the East Asia Quanye Company, which aroused dissatisfaction among Japanese officials of the puppet Manchukuo authorities.The peasants in Tulong Mountain rioted and killed Colonel Iizuka (promoted to major general after his death). Now they had the excuse to accuse the military of foolishness.Boli, Huachuan, Baoqing and other county counselors also sent representatives to the "capital" Xinjing (Changchun) to state their opinions.The Kwantung Army refused to accept some opinions, so the representatives submitted their resignations to the puppet Ministry of Civil Affairs.After a bite, it was just in time for the 10th Division to change defenses, and the aftermath of immigration was about to be handed over to the pseudo-Ministry of Civil Affairs.Miura Takemi, head of the puppet Jilin Provincial General Affairs Department, went to Yilan to serve as the monitor of the Yilan squad, and "promoted the people" while "crusade" by the military.It is widely publicized that ordinary people are deceived, as long as they abandon their swords and return to the fields, they will forget the past and remain good citizens.And announced a new policy of "purchasing" land, with an average of 2 to 10 yuan per land for wasteland and cultivated land.Strictly manage and educate the "bandits" to reduce disputes and conflicts with the Chinese. For Japanese farmers who lack land, the fertile black land in Northeast China is undoubtedly very attractive.After the Tulongshan riots, the enthusiasm for immigration was not so high, and some of those who had already immigrated also left.The first batch of resettled 100,000 households was planned, but only 50,000 households were actually completed. Moreover, the Volunteer Army failed in the War of Resistance and the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Communist Party were still in their infancy. At this moment, the people of Tulong Mountain uttered an angry roar, and its significance was extraordinary in every respect. Jiuliliu is a village next to Boli in the southeast of Yilan, with dozens of families. On March 19, the newly established "People's National Salvation Army" with Xie Wendong as the commander-in-chief moved here. When they learned that the Jiamusi Japanese army was rushing here in 57 vehicles, they immediately left a squadron to stop the enemy. The Japanese army did not expect an ambush in the village, and the first three vehicles were paralyzed by crossfire from both sides, causing heavy casualties.The follow-up troops occupied the commanding heights in the northwest of the village and Beigang, poured artillery fire into the village, and the yellow devils attacked from the sorghum field outside the village.The main force of the National Salvation Army came for reinforcements and attacked the enemy from both sides. From about 1:00 p.m. until dark, the walls of the three courtyards guarded by the National Salvation Army were almost flattened by artillery fire, and the officers and soldiers hid in the ruins and fired at the enemy.The common people brought water and food, bandaged and fed the wounded, and young and middle-aged men picked up the guns of the martyrs.Can't shoot a gun, learn to pull the bolt, load the bullet, pull the trigger, and use the devils who rushed up to practice their skills.There were not many bullets left. Sun Xingyuan, the owner of the small shop compound of the Sun family, took out all the more than 2,000 rounds of bullets buried in the ground. At around 10 o'clock, using the cover of night, officers and soldiers stepped out to surround. In the battle of Jiuliliu, dozens of Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and 28 people from the National Salvation Army died. This was the first battle after the Tulongshan riot. It should be said that the fight was good, but the next one was not so good. Similar to the invaders at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, the large-scale volunteer army failed in the war of resistance, and the Kwantung Army felt that the overall situation was settled, and began to build the "Heavenly Land of Kings".Unexpectedly, by holding down the gourd and lifting the ladle, the peasants of Tulong Mountain rebelled again, and the surrounding counties responded.It has to make an example and destroy this team, otherwise there will be Tulong Mountains everywhere in the Northeast. Whether Xie Wendong realized this or not, it was right to move to the south after the riots. The remote and mountainous place is conducive to combat and survival.But after the Jiuliliu battle, when they learned that the 10th Division had withdrawn, they decided to return to Tulong Mountain, and the 10th Division only switched defenses with the 3rd Division. At the beginning of June, Xie Wendong led the team to Hulin and Raohe. The purpose of going to Hulin and Raohe is to obtain the Soviet Union's aid in firearms and ammunition. On November 24, 1933, in the "Report of He Chengxiang of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Manchuria's Work in Manchuria", it said that some volunteers came to us, "their purpose was to obtain help from the Soviet Union through us." In the minds of many volunteers and mountain forest teams, you are all the Communist Party. If you believe in one doctrine, you are similar to kowtowing brothers. It is natural to help each other.Some party members also think that the Soviet Union is a "class motherland" and should not be a problem. Some even advocate crossing the border to establish a base in the Soviet Union. Xie Wendong led the National Salvation Army to the three-person squad in Hulin County, where they met Zhang Wenkai, the captain of the Raohe Guerrilla Brigade, and Li Xuefu, the chief of supplies.Hearing the intention of coming, Zhang Wenkai thought it was funny: How could such a thing happen?All our bullets were taken from the hands of the Japanese. This undoubtedly poured cold water on Xie Wendong. He didn't give up, and he didn't believe it, so he decided to send someone across the border to try it.Almost at the same time, Li Yanlu in Mishan also sent people across the border to ask for ammunition. As a result, the Soviet Union expressed that it could only provide moral support.The people sent by Xie Wendong did not even go to Jiang because of the Japanese blockade. After running for nothing, there was nothing to do, and I went back to Tulong Mountain after running around. Half a year later, many of the big households who followed Xie Wendong in the riots became security chiefs and armor chiefs again, but this time they were doing errands for the Japanese.Those who thought he was in a good relationship at the beginning, this time, they are afraid that they will avoid it, and "get involved" (involved) will cause trouble.Ma Chunde, known as "Second Master Ma", was the head of the Tulong Mountain Self-Defense Regiment before the "September 18th" Incident, and was the brigade commander of Li Du's Self-Defense Army after the incident. Xie Wendong was the regiment commander under him. Head of the Pseudo-Self-Defense Regiment.Seeing Xie Wendong, the kid put up his airs like a dog, and reprimanded him: How many people died in Tulong Mountain when you hit you to provoke trouble?Now you are still abducting so many people and following you to death, are you worthy of the folks? As an elder and an old boss, Xie Wendong respected him at first, but now he became angry, pointing to those people he brought back: You visit them one by one, which one was abducted by me? The Tulongshan riots hit the invaders in many ways. The change in the price of "buying" land is only a superficial phenomenon. In their bones, they understand that the Chinese should not be bullied or provoked. .Soft knives are even more powerful in killing people. The devil's move was a fatal blow to Xie Wendong. The changes in the attitudes of some comrades and old friends made him deeply moved and had a far-reaching impact.When the officers and soldiers of the National Salvation Army saw that the devils were not burned and killed as before, Ma Chunde and others advertised that they would go home to farm and issue a certificate, and they would become "good citizens". Some people asked for leave and went home. There were only more than 300 people left in the team of more than 1,500 people. The autumn wind is bitter, the body is cold and the heart is chilling. At the end of September, Xie Wendong, who had nowhere to go, decided to leave Tulong Mountain and go to Maodong in Xidashan, Mudanjiang. When crossing the river in the morning of October 12, he was attacked and surrounded by the Japanese army. The officers and soldiers charged bravely and retreated eastward to Boli. On the 14th, he was chased by the Japanese army again, and the National Salvation Army was defeated. Xie Wendong fled to Jixing River Mountain, Yilan County with only his three sons and more than a dozen subordinates, and then moved to Linkou and Fangzheng. It was snowing heavily, and this was the first winter after the Tulong Mountain uprising, and it was one of the most difficult winters in Xie Wendong's five-year anti-Japanese career. At the end of the year, Li Huatang came.The end of the hero, the troubled brother.Li Huatang also suffered heavy losses during the winter "crusade". He came to see Xie Wendong and persuaded him to go to Hadong to find Zhao Shangzhi for help and regroup. Before and after going to Hulin to ask the Soviet Union for help, Xie Wendong sent people into the customs three times to find Li Du, hoping to get support and assistance from the Kuomintang government.As a result, both of them were empty, and Zhao Shangzhi's Hadong detachment was famous and close at hand, so there was only this way.It’s just that he is suspicious by nature, he is wary of the Communist Party, or he thinks that the halo of the Tulongshan riot covers people, he can’t let go of his airs, and he doesn’t want to leave a deep impression of asking for help, or he is catching up with physical discomfort, or other reasons, anyway, he He didn't move, but Li Huatang, who was one year older than him, went tirelessly. Next, Li Huatang went to Bin County, Zhao Shangzhi came to Fangzheng, Zhao, Xie, and Li met and negotiated to establish the "Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army Headquarters" - as I wrote earlier. Before and after, Xie Wendong, who had many doubts about the Communist Party, was more active than Li Huatang, and asked several times to organize his troops into the 3rd Army. This is Xie Wendong. Li Huatang—more than 80 people, excellent guns, semi-formal army, half "beard" organization, resolute against Japan (the lower-level soldiers often say: "I would rather destroy the gun than surrender"), 50% of the lower-level soldiers Soldiers, 25% are workers and peasants, and the rest are "bearded" (another county party committee report said that most of the lower classes are hooligans), have a good relationship with the masses (not oppressive), and often donate their heads to landlords, rich peasants, and others.I don’t have a close relationship with other volunteers, and I don’t trust other volunteers (because in the past, when fighting with the volunteers, these volunteers were not determined and ran away).Li Huatang himself has some political savvy, and he has considerable faith among the soldiers. Sometimes he can accept some of our ideas. He has fought together and believes that the guerrillas are resolute and capable of resisting Japan.Some soldiers at the lower level asked to join our team and were willing to join us in joint operations. When our troops encountered them, they prepared supplies and shelter for us (soldiers once stole weapons and gave them to guerrillas).There was originally a party member and a trade union member in the team, and then three people were sent secretly to work as soldiers at the lower level. The above is excerpted from "The Situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Struggle and the Development and Organizational Overview of the Anti-Japanese Forces", written in January 1935, the author is unknown. Li Huatang's anti-Japanese career began in the Harbin Defense War in early 1932.He is the commander of the 2nd Battalion of Li Du's 24th Brigade and 96th Regiment. Li Du's army was defeated and the remnants were scattered in Mishan, Baoqing, Hulin, Raohe, Ning'an and other places. , Mountain Forest Team, established the "Second Detachment of Jilin Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Self-Defense Army", with more than 400 people forming 3 battalions and 11 companies. From the serious battalion commander of the Northeast Army to the self-defense detachment leader of the self-defense army, this tall and thin "Lao Li" is quite different. Few of the people who have become popular in China and abroad in ancient and modern times do not make friends widely.Li Huatang's characteristic, in the words of Liu Haitao, commander of the 1st Division of the 3rd Army, is that "no matter whether you are poor, rich, old, young, male or female, you can approach him."Manage the army well, strictly restrain the subordinates, and do not harass the people.This is invaluable in such a chaotic world.Some old people said that Xie Wendong also wanted to make a small pot and eat a small stove when he was most difficult, but Li Huatang had nothing to do with it.In this way, it is natural to be supported by the people and subordinates. Familiarity is a treasure.This is what Xie Wendong paid attention to when he returned to Tulong Mountain twice after the incident.It's just that the Tulongshan riot shocked the world. Xie Wendong's name is outside, but some Tulongshan people regard him as the goblin who caused trouble.Li Huatang is just the opposite.Before the Anti-Japanese War, he was stationed in Diaoling for a long time, and he was familiar with everyone, and there were many eyeliners in the Japanese and puppet agencies, so he felt like a fish in water. If these have many similarities with the guerrillas, the other difference is the most important. He realized earlier that the armed forces led by the Communist Party were truly anti-Japanese. The first move after the establishment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army Headquarters was to attack Fangzheng County. The attack was launched at dawn on March 9. The juvenile company of the 3rd Army broke through the east gate first, and the coalition forces rushed into the city, occupied the pseudo police station, burned the residences of the counselors and instructors, captured the pseudo county magistrate alive, and arrested more than 40 traitors. Take the initiative to evacuate around the point. At that time, every year on important anniversaries, there were usually actions. Specifically, it was to choose a target to fight a war.The purpose of attacking Fangzheng County was to show the power of the newly established coalition army, and also to encourage Xie Wendong and Li Huatang, who had suffered repeated setbacks.And Li Huatang's self-defense army is well-equipped and quite effective, which also leaves an impression on people. The attacking party was commanded by Zhao Shangzhi and Li Huatang, and the attacking party was Li Huatang. Zhou Baozhong said: "The commander-in-chief of this attack is Li Huatang, the deputy commander of the coalition forces. Now the deputy commander Li's mood is extremely high and he is more active in his work." The team ambushed and concentrated their firepower to attack the enemy. More than 200 enemy cavalry were wiped out, and the remaining 30 or so enemies fled back.” The oldest commander among the 11 armies of the Anti-Japanese War is quite capable in the military. In "History of the Ninth Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army" written by Liu Haitao in 1939 (the author judges, it seems to be 1938), he wrote: We say that Li Huatang himself has a specialty on the battlefield. He is very good at fighting. He has fought many wars with the enemy and we have never suffered from the enemy.Some people often say that Li Letai ("Old Man"—the author) is really cunning in war, and sometimes he is in a very dangerous situation in the war, but he has not suffered from the enemy.Many people are simply baffled, what is the factor?I think we will answer this kind of military expertise after thinking about it: 1. Li Huatang himself is very calm; Not waiting”——the author) matters, especially military matters, first of all, he conducts detailed research and investigation, so that he can correctly estimate the enemy’s actions and strategies. We can also give a few examples later, okay Make compatriots understand; 4. He has the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, and the tactics he adopts are not rigid at any time; 5. He can get information about the enemy from all sides, for example, he can use people from all walks of life in society People who sympathize with the anti-Japanese can think of ways to use him, especially he can use the enemy's internal enemies as his eyes and ears, and listen to everything about the enemy in the military; For six (ten) days, he was guerrilla bearded outside almost every day. It can be said that he is not familiar with the geography of Dongdashan, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jilin, and Heilongjiang in Manchuria. People in almost all places know Li Letai.We have already said that he has a specialty of being close to the people. In the past when we called to suppress bandits, most of them had to use guerrilla tactics. From then on, he learned the tactics of guerrilla warfare and at the same time tempered his hard-working spirit. It’s not a big deal for him to take a small lodging ("playing a small lodging", referring to camping-the author), pier (squatting) tree roots, and not being able to eat food. He is always at the forefront of climbing mountains and forests 7. He himself is also very brave, and he can really lead the troops to do it when necessary. He especially helps the friendly army as much as possible, especially standing on the life (death) line with the friendly army in the war Oppose the enemy; 8. He is good at arranging and commanding the troops to lead the troops; 9.
