What should a landlord look like in people's minds? I believe that most people have a very close answer in their hearts, they exploit the people at the bottom and live a luxurious life themselves. For example, Liu Wencai, who was a famous landowner and merchant in western Sichuan during the Republic of China, was also the uncle of Liu Xiang, the brother of the Sichuan warlord Liu Wenhui. The property owned by this large landowner is unimaginable, and the gold and silver treasures looted in Yibin City alone amount to more than 4,500 large wooden boxes.
But he still thought about how to squeeze out the last drop of blood and sweat from the peasants, who rented his acres of land and had to pay two buckets of gold as a deposit. During the war years, inflation was so severe that deposits often depreciated, so he used various means to force the peasants to repay them. There were twenty people in Liu Wencai's family, and there were sixty or seventy nurses waiting for them, and the Liu family did not treat them as people at all. At every turn, it is abuse and torture, fierce and indiscriminate killing, and what Liu Wencai has done is the impression of most people on the landlord.
Sometimes, however, landlords are not all of this type of villain, and some landlords are usually friendly to their neighbors. From time to time, he even did some good deeds, taking out his own money and food to help those who suffered from disasters. There are also some who have a conscience in their hearts and still have the great righteousness of the family and the country. It is like saying that this landlord was running out of food in the Eighth Route Army and was surrounded by Japanese Kou. He did not hesitate to step forward and voluntarily offered ammunition to the Eighth Route Army free of charge, because he did not forget that he was a Chinese.
The landlord with unbroken conscience was named Zong Zijing, and his family had lived in LingXian County, Dezhou, Shandong For generations, and his family was not as rich as Liu Wencai. However, the zong family's family style has always been more correct, and they also raise their children, and they should do their best to help when others are in difficulty. Zong Zijing grew up under this family style, naturally not a bully like Liu Wencai, and he is usually also loved by the local people. However, the devil's artillery fire eventually hit Dezhou, Shandong, and for a while everyone was in danger.
This matter began in October 1938, after the fall of Wuhan, the devils changed their strategy of invading China and continued to attack the frontal battlefield. However, on the one hand, he transferred some of the main forces to the rear, attacked the base areas of the War of Resistance, and ensured the occupied areas. Therefore, from January 1939 onwards, the devils returned to the division to sweep the northeast, in a vain attempt to open the road to the northwest by means of a sweep. Due to the geographical location of the Jilubian base area, it was first swept away, and the devils gathered more than 20,000 people from the Fifth Division, the Twenty-seventh Division, and the 114th Division.
From Cangzhou, Dezhou, and Jinan, our army pressed against our base areas, and in order to avoid a frontal encounter with the enemy army, our army fought guerrilla warfare in several ways. Among them, Zeng Guohua led five detachments of organs and parts of the five regiments under him in the area of Shanghe and Leling, and this unit won successive victories and arrived in the Dazongjia area of Lingxian County on March 27 for repairs. Unexpectedly, when the military and the people were celebrating the victory, the actions of this unit were known to the devil. The Japanese Fifth Division, with more than 1,200 men stationed in Dexian (present-day Dezhou), launched an offensive on the night of March 31.
Fierce battles ensued between the two sides, with the Fifth Regiment taking advantage of the favorable terrain to repel Japanese onslaught several times. The first battalion approached the Ambush Area of the Japanese cavalry on the northeast side from Zhao Yuzhi covertly, and when the enemy was not paying attention, it suddenly opened fire and killed a colonel commander. However, the enemy also adjusted its deployment, hit the troops to launch an attack, and left the Eighth Route Army of the Dazong family to run out of food. At this difficult time, Zong Zijing, who is in his 70s, stood up and was willing to hand over his stored grain and money.
At first, the Eighth Route Army refused to accept it, and Zongzi was anxious to say bluntly that he did not have a few years to live, and only hoped to do something for the country before he died. Later, he opened the warehouse and donated all the tens of thousands of bullets and hundreds of guns he had saved for emergency, which undoubtedly lost a lot of blood to the Eighth Route Army, which ran out of ammunition and food. However, the number of disparities, the large sect family can not hold after all, even the breakthrough is difficult. It was still the reinforcements of the Fifth Regiment that launched an attack at the southeast gate, and the besieged troops broke through the siege and moved out of the battlefield.
Unfortunately, a squad of secret agents who stayed in the village to cover the main force fought with the devils with white blades, and all of them died heroically. They delayed the evacuation of Zong Zijing and the people in the rear, and Zong Zijing died in the rear, and he was also a different hero of that era. And this battle also fully demonstrated the determination of the people to resist the war at that time, and it was precisely because of this unity of the military and the people that the final victory was achieved.
