In 1948, the Kuomintang army surrounded and suppressed the guerrillas, and the troops were transferred
In mid-September 1948, the enemy cleared and suppressed the guerrillas on the East China Sea Islands in Zhejiang, and in order to preserve the revolutionary forces, some members of the East China Sea Guerrilla Corps under the leadership of Yu Lixing, deputy director of the Political Department, jumped out of the enemy's encirclement and went to the northern islands of the Zhoushan Islands to persist in the struggle, and the guerrillas were stationed on the three small islands of Tanhu, Baishan and Huangpan.
There are only more than 40 fishermen on Tanhu Island, and the two islands of Baishan and Huangpan are even smaller, and huangpan only lives with a widowed elderly man. Most of them are poor and live by fishing, the Kuomintang government levies tyranny, imposes harsh taxes, fishing bullies oppress the people, and fishermen live in deep water.
The guerrillas spent the night at the fishermen's homes, mobilized the masses, propagated the policies of the Communist Party, and the fishermen understood that the guerrillas were a team led by the Communist Party of China, fighting for the poor, and only by overthrowing the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang could the common people live a good life. They supported the leadership of the Party and strongly supported the guerrillas.
Beautiful Zhoushan Islands
The 2 guerrillas went to Baishan Island to feed them, and when they returned, they encountered enemy ships
On the evening of September 21, Yu Lixing and his warrior Shen Changlong, with the help of local fishermen Bao Adong and Zhuang Manxing, rowed a small boat to Baishan Island to bring sweet potatoes to the guerrillas who had run out of grain.
On the way back, they disguised themselves as fishermen returning from chopping wood from the island and rowed back to Tanhu in the dark of night. In the second half of the night, when the boat was about to reach the beach margin, suddenly there was a thick fog on the sea, and it was not clear to see from a few meters away.
Shen Changlong and Zhuang Manxing slowly rowed the boat, and Yu Lixing and Bao Adong stood at the bow and stern of the boat to observe. When the boat was about to reach Tanhu Island, the sky was already bright, the sun suddenly emerged from the clouds, and suddenly, a warship with a blue sky and white sun flag was close at hand, and it was too late to dodge.
The situation was critical, Yu Lixing and Shen Changlong nervously looked at the enemy ship that was getting closer and closer, they came up with a plan, hid the pistol in a bundle of firewood on the ship, the boat continued to shake towards Tanhu Island, Shen Changlong saw a rock protruding from the sea on the side of Tanhu Island, whispered a few words to Yu Lixing, the boat slowly approached the mouth of the mountain, Yu Lixing turned over and slipped into the sea from the bean shell boat into the sea and disappeared under the rock to hide. Shen Changlong, Bao Adong and Zhuang Manxing continued to shake the boat towards Tanhu Island.
The guerrillas hid in the middle of the rocky mountains
"The boat is coming!" examine! The soldiers on the enemy ship gave loud orders. In order to protect the chief in the sea, Shen Changlong slowly approached the enemy ship, and the enemy jumped on the boat, and the sharp sword pointed at Shen Changlong: "What? ”
Shen Changlong calmly replied, "I am a Tanhu person, and I just returned from chopping wood from the opposite island." ”
The enemy poked at the bundle of firewood with a razor a few times, and suddenly there was a "bang" sound, and the enemy became alert, grabbing Shen Changlong's torn clothes: "What is in the firewood?" ”
The clothes were torn, revealing several pieces of paper. The enemy asked viciously, "Where did you get it?" Shen Changlong replied: "I picked up the firewood when I was chopping firewood, this paper is beautiful, the flowers are green, take it home and paste the window, I can't read and don't know what is painted on it?"
The color pieces of paper are maps of the East China Sea region. If the enemy obtained the most precious treasure, he believed that Shen Changlong was a Communist intelligence officer, and he escorted him to the warship.
Nationalist warship
The fishermen of the whole island are guaranteeing their lives, and the enemy releases the guerrillas
The bean-husk boat returned to Tanhu, and the fishermen on the island heard that the Kuomintang soldiers had arrested the guerrillas, and they talked about it, and it was important to save people! After consultation, everyone decided that the whole islanders would go out and petition the Kuomintang. Shen Changlong's landlord, Grandma Chai, dragged a pair of small feet and pulled her grandson to the beach crying and shouting, followed by men, women and children on the island.
Xu Yunxin, the chief of the security guard, asked everyone to collect some money, bring chicken, duck, fish and meat, etc., and Xu Yunxin took a few people to the enemy ship in a small boat. The enemy on the warship saw the fishermen, with something with them, and asked, "What are you?" ”
The chief steward said: "We are fishermen on Tanhu Island, and the fishermen on our island have been caught by you." Boss, good line! He was a native of Tanhu and had just returned from chopping wood on the opposite hill. I am the chief of the security, our whole village of all ages and young people are guaranteed by life, boss, you let it go! ”
Xu Yun credit pointed to the beach and said, "Boss, look! His old mother and son were dying, and they were waiting on the beach for him to come home! ”
The Kuomintang officer looked up at the beach, where a large group of ordinary people were crying and shouting. Suddenly, he came up with a poisonous plan to test whether Shen Changlong was a real fisherman, and several soldiers escorted Shen Changlong to a small boat and let Shen Chimelong row.
A small boat
Shen Changlong got on the boat and skillfully shook the bridge, and the enemy did not find a single broken pillar. Only then did the enemy officer believe that he was a fisherman in Tanhu and could not read a single character. After thinking about it, for the sake of money and gifts, he agreed to let him go back, and in the end, Shen Chimelong returned to Tanhu Island safely.
The enemy's warship was gone, and Shen Changlong immediately ran to the big rock to call Yu Lixing. Yu Lixing soaked in the sea for four hours, and when he came ashore, his face was pale, and he could not take a break, insisting on visiting the fishermen and thanking them.
