In the years of the revolutionary war, our cadres must always keep a sober mind, maintain a high degree of vigilance, and resolutely guard against and resist the enemy's conspiracies; on July 16, 1937, He Ming, who was then the secretary of the Special Committee of the Fujian-Guangdong Border Region, because of his lack of experience in cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, was too paralyzed and light on the enemy, and did not arouse sufficient vigilance, and made an effective response. He then forcibly ordered the collection of firearms, known in history as the "Zhangpu Incident" or "He Ming Dangerous".
The former site of the Zhangpu Incident
He Ming, formerly known as He Junxi, a native of Huangzhutang Village, Longjuan Town, Wanning, Hainan, joined the party in his early years, was organized and sent to the southern and northern townships of Zhangzhou in southern Fujian and the central area of Jinghepu to carry out agrarian revolution, established a village revolutionary committee and a people's self-defense force, and served as an instructor of the fourth company of the Red Third Regiment and a political commissar of the regiment.
Subsequently, He Ming served as the secretary of the Special Committee of the Fujian-Guangdong Border Region and concurrently served as the head of the Red Third Regiment, presided over military work, and became the leader of this contingent. However, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang 157th Division stationed in Zhangpu, Fujian Province, in the name of roll call and reorganization, lured the Red Third Regiment to assemble at the Confucius Temple Stadium in the county town, which had been surrounded by firepower in advance. At this time, He Ming, as secretary of the special committee and regimental commander, lost his vigilance, believing that only by going down the mountain could the Red Third Regiment expand its influence and have greater power over the enemy.
He Ming stills
Sure enough, as expected, as soon as the Red Third Regiment was stationed in Zhangpu County, Huang Tao, commander of the Nationalist 157th Division, surrounded the Red 3rd Regiment with a large army, and the soldiers at that time were very angry and said that they wanted to break the net with the enemy, but He Ming thought that the Kuomintang would not be exterminated, so he ordered all the commanders and fighters to lay down their weapons. In this way, the Kuomintang did not need a single shot to surrender the Red 3 Regiment and then imprisoned them. Subsequently, the vast majority of the red regiment was disarmed and dismissed, and such a Red Army unit that had come through arduous struggle disappeared, which was unique in the history of the Red Army's warfare.
On the day of the "Zhangpu Incident", the 157th Division detained He Ming at the brigade headquarters of the 471st Brigade (Zhangpu) of the division, and the rest of the Red Army commanders and fighters were temporarily guarded in the Confucius Temple, where they were stationed. The cadres and fighters of the Red Army were full of anger and condemned one after another the crimes of the Kuomintang diehards in undermining cooperation against Japan, and they were so angry that they threw off their military hats with twelve-pointed stars and took off their yellow military uniforms and fell all over the ground. Buckets of steaming meals were placed in the hall, and no one had the heart to move. The 157th Division sent political workers to the Confucius Temple to persuade them, but they were scolded as "traitors and lackeys" and bombed out.
At this critical juncture, Lu Sheng, then deputy regimental commander of the Red Third Regiment, and Wang Sheng, chief of staff of the Red Third Regiment, immediately informed the backbone of the Red Army to pass on to each other when they knew that the situation was not good: "This lesson is painful, but we must not be discouraged. Try to fight the diehards to the end! ”
At this time, the commander of the third company quietly gave Lu Sheng a small qu nine-gun gun, saying that it was hung on the wall in a dry grain bag in the morning, covered by a bucket, and was not confiscated by the Kuomintang. Lu Sheng said with a surprise: "Good! To pick up the gun again and fight the enemy! Immediately, he contacted the backbone of the company and the backbone of the company individually, informed the camera to break through, and went to Xi'nan Village on the outskirts of Zhangpu City to find a local party organization to contact the team.
The red flag of the Red Three Regiments does not fall
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, Lu Sheng and Wang Sheng took the only small Qujiu pistol, led more than a dozen backbones to break through the wall, Lu Sheng crossed the river from the county seat to Xi'nan (village), and then climbed the Qingquan Rock on the mountainside of Kongang in the dark. There was an ancient temple, which was a hidden crossing for the guerrillas to enter and exit the Liangshan base area, where Lu Sheng, Wang Sheng, and other comrades-in-arms who had arrived from Xiabu met with the special commissar inspectors and other comrades-in-arms who had arrived from Xiabu, hugged each other wordlessly, and burst into tears. The inspector said, "With strong warriors like you, any difficulty can be overcome." ”
The two leaders who broke through, Lu Sheng and Wang Sheng, reorganized the remnants of the Red Third Regiment, and the nickname was still called the Red Third Regiment, Lu Sheng was elected as the regimental commander and political commissar, and Wang Sheng was the chief of staff, although there were only a hundred people, which was smaller than the previous one thousand people, but the re-established Red Third Regiment was born, and a hundred brave men rose up qingquan rock.
After the reconstruction, the Red Third Regiment was divided into five roads and went to Wushan, Daqinshan, Lion's Head Mountain, Liangshan And Zhangzhou Nanxiang to collect guns and solve the problem of supply, and with the strong support of the people, the situation of "bare hands" was rapidly changed. The masses in the revolutionary base areas actively donated money and materials, sent rice and vegetables, and even sent their relatives to join the army.
Under the leadership of Lu Sheng and Wang Sheng, the re-formed Red Third Regiment adopted a guerrilla tactic of surprise and unpreparedness, propagating anti-Japanese ideas in various places, denouncing the perverse actions of the Kuomintang diehards, and at the same time demanding that the enemy return the guns and weapons confiscated during the "Zhangpu Incident." At that time, the enemy gathered hundreds of security forces in many counties and attacked the Red Third Regiment in the name of "suppressing scattered bandits," wantonly killing and arresting innocent people. The Red Third Regiment severely attacked this stubborn army in the Dashagang area, killing and wounding more than 70 of them, surrendering 26 rifles and more than 400 rounds of ammunition; this was the first beautiful battle after the reconstruction of the Red Third Regiment, which greatly frustrated the diehards who "gained inches," inspired our commanders and fighters, stabilized the mood of the revolutionary masses, and quickly restored the base areas.
In January 1938, hundreds of people from the rebuilt Red Third Regiment were reorganized into the second battalion of the fourth regiment of the second detachment of the New Fourth Army, sounded the battle horn again, and rushed to the anti-Japanese front line with great strength, Lu Sheng also became the leader of the fourth regiment, and then Lu Sheng led his troops to cross the Yangtze River in the north, formed the Suwan detachment, opened up the anti-Japanese guerrilla base area west of Yangzhou to the Tianchang area of Anhui, served as the political commissar of the Suwan detachment of the Jiangnan Headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and once defeated the Kuomintang 13 regiments with two regiments and threatened Zhenhuazhong.
Lu Sheng successively served as commander of the fourth sub-district of the Central Soviet Military Region, political commissar and secretary of the CPC Prefectural Committee, director of the Political Department of the Seventh Column of the Central China Field Army, political commissar of the First Brigade of the First Division of the East China Field Army, commander and political commissar of the 4th Column and 10th Division, deputy commander of the 4th Column, and political commissar of the 23rd Army of the Sanye, and led the troops to participate in the famous battles of Huangqiao, Suzhong, Zaozhuang, Laiwu, and Menglianggu, becoming a famous general in the people's army, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant general in 1955.
After the "Zhangpu Incident" broke through, Wang Sheng successively served as the chief of staff of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Detachment of the New Fourth Army, the chief of staff of the detachment, the chief of staff of the brigade, and the commander of the guerrilla column in eastern Zhejiang. During the Liberation War, he successively served as deputy brigade commander of the 1st Column of the Shandong Field Army, deputy commander and commander of the Western Naval Sub-district of the Jiaodong Military Region, chief of staff of the Eastern Front Corps Headquarters of the East China Field Army, and chief of staff of the former headquarters of the East China Military Region.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Sheng served as the commander of the Longyan Military Subdistrict of the Fujian Military Region, the principal of the Armored Corps Cultural School, the principal of the 6th Tank School, and the vice president of the Armored Corps Academy. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of major general, the Order of August 1, 2nd Class, the Order of Independence and Freedom, 2nd Class, the Order of Liberation 2nd Class, and the Order of the Red Star, 1st Class.
Incidentally, He Ming, secretary of the Fujian-Guangdong Border Special Committee, after being detained by the enemy, appointed him as a major attaché of the Political Training Office of the 157th Division, returned to the Red Army guerrilla unit the following year, and soon accompanied the New Fourth Army to Suwan to participate in the War of Resistance, but at this time, although he admitted his serious mistake and was examined, Xiang Ying, political commissar of the New Fourth Army and secretary of the Southeast Branch Bureau, approved him at that time, and found him fully responsible for the loss of fighting spirit and the loss of a thousand horses and horses in the "Zhangpu Incident", and executed him, and after the founding of the Country, he was posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr.
