Yue Zhushan, since childhood life is difficult, love to fight uneven
Yue Zhushan, born in 1900 in a peasant family in Hexin Village, Gangzhen Town, Binhai County, Jiangsu Province, his parents have given birth to 1 daughter, 8 boys, 8 sons, only the old Seventh Yue Yihua and the old Jiu Yue have studied private school for several years, and the other sons help others herd cattle and sheep and work as long-term workers and shipwrights to make a living. The family's life is difficult and they are barely making ends meet.
In order to change their fate, the Yue family exchanged an old yellow cow and two small buffaloes for a small wooden boat and went fishing in the open sea, hoping to live a good life.
At that time, in the waters from The Coast to Wusongkou, banditry was rampant, often robbing property, and fishermen's fishing boats and supplies were robbed. Whenever Yue Zhushan received a call for help, he hurriedly took a dozen strong crew members on his own ship to defeat the bandits, and then returned the fishing boat and belongings to the owner. He had a high reputation among the local fishermen.
Trade cattle for small fishing boats
Resourceful and capable of capturing the sea bandits
Once, when the fishing boat of the Yue Zhushan family loaded with huacheng company goods and entered the Wusong port from the mouth of the Yangtze River and passed through the waters of Chongming Island, it was hijacked by Fan Qiaolin, the leader of the sea bandits, and the goods were robbed, and they also prepared to kill all the shipwrights. Yue Zhushan grasped his psychology, knew that he was eager to recruit troops and expand his power, so he threw himself into his favor, fought with Fan Qiaolin with wisdom and courage, adopted delaying tactics, and promised: "As long as you give a way to live, you will listen to you." Fan Qiaolin left people under the knife and asked them to join the company.
Fan Qiaolin sent 7 armed bandits to the ship to monitor. Yue Zhushan will make plans and mix with the sea bandits.
One day, he proposed to the small leader of the sea bandits to "go out and find work." After receiving permission, Yue Zhushan drove the fishing boat out of the sea bandit activity area according to the wind direction, tide and other circumstances. Far away from the sea bandits' lair, Yue Zhushan immediately handed over the short gun of the small leader of the sea bandits, and the other crew members rushed up and subdued the other six sea bandits.
Because this incident offended the sea bandits, in order to prevent them from retaliating, the fishing boats of the Yue Zhushan family never dared to go to sea again, nor did they dare to engage in transportation activities in the waters around Wusongkou in Shanghai. Life is more difficult and difficult.
During the Republic of China period, there were many sea bandits on the sea
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yue Zhushan served as the commander of the Coastal Defense Brigade of the New Fourth Army
In order to ensure the safety of the base area, in January 1942, Huang Kecheng, commander of the 3rd Division, instructed the Twenty-fourth Regiment to recruit more than 300 poor fishermen around the garrison on the basis of one company, and formed a coastal defense brigade of more than 500 people, with Yue Zhushan as the captain, Ma Xiuyi and Yang Fenglan as the main and deputy instructors, and three companies under it.
On March 29, 1943, more than 200 people from the Yamamoto Squadron of the Japanese Army and the puppet army Zhu Baoyuan set up a stronghold at the Badanwang Bridge in an attempt to economically control and trap the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians on the coast.
In order to break the blockade of the Japanese puppet army, the New Fourth Army decided to remove this tumor and eliminate this enemy. At 9 o'clock in the evening of March 30, the red signal bombs cut through the sky, and the soldiers of the 24th Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese troops at the Badan stronghold, with the 24th Regiment of the Eighth Brigade as the main attacker, and the 22nd Regiment and the 23rd Regiment respectively blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army. The 1st Battalion of the 24th Regiment attacked from west to east, wiping out most of the more than 200 puppet troops in 20 minutes.
The Japanese army led by Yamamoto lived in three compounds, and they stubbornly resisted by virtue of the compound. Regiment commander Xie Zhenhua ordered a fire attack, the soldiers found fire oil, firewood, and door panels, and Yue Zhushan, captain of the coastal defense brigade, and Ma Xiuyi, instructor, led the soldiers to blow up the hole in the wall with explosives, tied cotton balls dipped in oil to long bamboo poles, and threw them on the roof of the compound.
After four hours of fighting, the important town of Badan in northern Jiangsu was liberated, annihilating more than 80 people below the commander of the Japanese army Yamamoto, wounding 29 Japanese troops, annihilating more than 200 puppet troops, and capturing 2 heavy machine guns, 6 light machine guns, and a batch of rifles. During the battle, 48 people of the New Fourth Army died gloriously, and more than 30 local armed forces and masses who assisted in the battle also died.
The New Fourth Army captured enemy strongholds
At sea, he fought with the Japanese army and covered the transfer of ships of the Ministry of Military Industry
The Military Industry Department of the 1st Division of the New Fourth Army manufactures guns and ammunition, and more than 20 fishing boats undertake the task of transporting rifles, bullets, mines, explosives and other military supplies at sea, which played a great role in supporting the Soviet and Chinese people in the War of Resistance.
The Japanese army regarded the Ministry of Military Industry as a thorn in the eye, and sent a large number of spies to collect intelligence and try their best to eliminate it. The leaders of the New Fourth Army decided that more than 20 fishing boats under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Industry would be transferred from the coast to the territory of the Third Division, and the division commander Huang Kecheng entrusted the arduous task to Yue Zhushan, the commander of the coastal defense brigade.
Yue Zhushan sent Yue Yonghe, commander of the guard company, to take charge of front-line command. In order to avoid the Japanese motorboats patrolling, they adopted the method of concealment during the day and sailing at night, and "hide and seek" with the Japanese army at sea. They fought the Japanese in the Yellow Sea for more than a month. Several times encountered dangerous situations, Yue Zhushan, Yue Yonghe was witty and brave, evaded the Search of Japanese motorboat dragnets, and completed the cover mission well.
