After the fall of Pingjin in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, some students of the Youth Salvation Federation in Tianjin before the war, based on a strong patriotic spirit, automatically organized an armed group behind enemy lines, the Anti-Japanese Murder and Traitor Group, to assassinate enemy and puppet leaders and wavering elements who were ready to cooperate with Japan, and to carry out propaganda on the War of Resistance. This was a relatively loose organization, and they had nothing to do with Dai Kasa's military command at first, but Dai Kasa took a fancy to this organization and sent agents from Tianjin Station to join them, trying to turn the anti-Japanese murder group into a peripheral organ of the military command. However, many members of the anti-Japanese murder group did not understand this relationship from the beginning to the end.
From 1938 to 1939, the anti-Japanese murder group successfully assassinated Wang Zhulin, president of the puppet Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, Cheng Xigeng, general manager of the puppet North China Preparatory Bank and tianjin customs supervisor, and other big traitors. In April 1939, within three days, the anti-Japanese murder group blew up the military depot of the puppet Tianjin Municipal Government and the Mitsui Foreign Company next to the Wanguo Bridge, and burned a large number of strategic materials such as cotton that were ready to be transported to Japan. Suddenly, the city of Tianjin was bustling with activity, and the Japanese army was greatly hit.
In fact, among the actions planned and carried out by the anti-Japanese murder group during this period, the most shocking thing was the assassination of Zhou Zuoren, a famous writer of the Republic of China and a generation of literary heroes. As we all know, Zhou Zuoren is the younger brother of Mr. Lu Xun, a professor at Peking University, an academic figure during the Republic of China period, and had made many achievements in the May Fourth New Culture Movement. The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, Peking University moved inland, and Zhou Zuoren remained in Beiping for various reasons. Also for various reasons, Zhou Zuoren began to approach Japan ideologically. In February 1938, Zhou Zuoren ended his secluded life in Peiping and publicly participated in meetings organized by the Japanese and puppet authorities, which had a huge impact on society for a time. Soon, rumors began to spread in the market that Zhou Zuoren would serve as the education inspector of the puppet government in North China.

This information has aroused great attention from the Chongqing side. Dai Kasa's military command issued an order to the anti-Japanese murder group that once a person like Zhou Zuoren cooperated with Japan, the harm would be unimaginable, so he must be eliminated before Zhou Zuoren publicly announced his intentions. Against Zhou Zuoren, who was preparing to "fall into the water", the assassination operation began.
On the morning of New Year's Day in 1938, Li Rupeng, Zhao Erren and Fan Xu, members of the Anti-Japanese Murder And Traitor Group, carried a pistol smuggled by another member, Zheng Tongwan, to the home of Zhou Zuoren in Badaowan, Xicheng, Beiping. They claimed to be students of Tianjin Sino-Japanese Middle School and came to ask Mr. Zhou Zuoren for advice on things related to studying in Japan. They smoothly entered Zhou Zuoren's home, and Zhao Erren stayed outside the door to look at the wind. At that time, Zhou Zuoren was chatting with another guest, Shen Qiwu, a professor at Peking University. Zhou Zuoren stood up and took the letter of introduction handed by two members of the anti-Japanese murder and traitor group.
Fan Xu said to Li Ruopeng: This is Mr. Zhou. Li Rupeng immediately pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at Zhou Zuoren in the abdomen. Zhou Zuoren fell to the ground in response, and Shen Qiwu was so frightened that he stood up and was overwhelmed. Li Rupeng fired another shot at Shen Qiwu, hitting Him in the shoulder. The two members of the anti-Japanese murder group quickly withdrew, and at this time, the servants of the Zhou family gathered around and pressed Li Rupeng to the ground. Zhao Erren rushed into the door, fired several shots into the sky, dispersed the servants, and the three escaped.
Zhou Zuo's life was great, and the shot hit the button of his sweater next to his navel. Due to the small caliber of the pistol and the lack of power, the bullet actually flew, and Zhou Zuoren was unscathed. Shen Qiwu's gunshot wound on the shoulder was no big problem. As a result, the assassination of the anti-Japanese murder group failed. Not only that, Zhou Zuoren was frightened by this, but he thought that he had no way to retreat, and the Chongqing side wanted to let himself die, so he simply turned to the Japanese side to seek asylum. This assassination had the opposite effect, but it was really unexpected by the world.
