On May 13, 1946, the Northeast People's (Main) Coalition Army fought a major victory in the area of Chengjiaweizi, Xiaoling, Acheng County, Heilongjiang, annihilating more than 700 people in the 79th Division of Chiang Kai-shek's army reorganized from bandits. The fly in the ointment is that the bandit leader Zuo Jiantang led a small number of cronies to slip through the net and fled everywhere for the next year.
In 1919, Zuo Jiantang, who was only 16 years old, became a bandit. After the Japanese invaded the northeast, he was absorbed by the Third Army of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army. But it didn't take long for him to defect to the Japanese and become a gendarme agent. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he transformed himself into the deputy commander of the Twenty-seventh Army and the commander of the Seventy-ninth Division of Chiang Kai-shek's Army.
It can be said that zuo Jiantang, in addition to being honest for a while during the anti-Japanese coalition army, did a lot of extremely evil things, and it is of great significance to get rid of him.
In July 1947, the heavy responsibility of capturing Zuo Jiantang fell on the shoulders of Liang Wanxing, the leader of our army's bandit suppression team, and after accepting the task, he led the soldiers to search for bandits in the mountains and forests day and night.
One afternoon, a member of the team rushed to report to Liang Wanxing that although no trace of the bandits had been found, he had inadvertently caught a large and fat pheasant in the forest, and came to ask whether he had disposed of the pheasant and given it to the group and improved the food.
Liang Wanxing looked at it, this pheasant was fat and strong, and the coat color was still very beautiful. Recently, the team members patrol day and night, eat and sleep in the wind, and can't eat a full meal for a few days, this pheasant is really sending charcoal in the snow.
But Liang Wanxing refused the team's request to turn the pheasant into a good meal, telling them: "This pheasant can't eat, let's keep it useful." ”
The team members said puzzledly: "Isn't it the greatest use to eat it?" ”
Liang Wanxing smiled and said, "Let's eat something else, we want to keep this pheasant to catch the bandits, you all don't shout, then naturally we will know." ”
Although the team members did not know how Liang Wanxing was going to catch the bandits with pheasants, they had to do so, feeding them water and feeding them every day.
After a few days, Liang Wanxing and others finally learned an important piece of information after many investigations: Zuo Jiantang and others were likely hiding in the Sanqing Temple on the top of Songfeng Mountain. This made them overjoyed.
However, sanqingguan is at the top of Songfeng Mountain, the terrain is precipitous, only a small road in front of the mountain leads to the top of the mountain, if there are two people guarding the broken stone bridge, it is difficult to attack.
On the other hand, if you attack from the huge rock behind the mountain, block the broken stone bridge in front, and cut off the enemy's retreat, the bandit Zuo Jiantang and so on will become the turtle in the urn.
"But behind the rock is the Eagle Stream, and when approaching the summit, there is a steep cliff that is four or five feet high, what to do?" Some people say.
"This is indeed the most critical problem," Liang Wanxing paused, "however, the giant rock has been weathering for a long time, and it has opened up a lot of large gaps, if you prepare some iron brazes and two-tooth hooks, I think it is completely possible to go up to the peak, as long as you stand on it alone." ”
The warriors agreed.
Liang Wanxing continued: "We must surprise the enemy before he has a firm foothold and make a surprise attack on him!" When the time comes, the pheasant will come in handy. ”
On the afternoon of July 13, the bandits were divided into two groups: the first group went straight to the front of the mountain, and after the ambush, the stone bridge was broken. Cut off the enemy's retreat: The second group, led by Liang Wanxing himself, directly attacked the Eagle Sorrow Cliff behind Songfeng Mountain.
The second group came to the bottom of the rock, and Liang Wanxing led everyone from the bottom of the mountain to the Eagle Sorrow Stream, and in front of them was the bare cliff.
Liang Wanxing handed the live pheasant he brought to a team member next to him, then found a stone crack, inserted the iron shovel into it, tried it hard, it was very strong, and then climbed up.
After he stood firm, he inserted another shovel into the crevice of the stone, and climbed to the top with such difficulty.
Suddenly, a piece of regolith rolled down, and then the sound of the bolt being pulled at the top of the peak was heard, and then someone shouted, "Who?" What's going on?! ”
It was clear that the bandit sentry was shouting. Liang Wanxing made a look, and the warrior who took the pheasant immediately took the pheasant out of the cage, untied the rope tied to its wings and feet, and threw it out.
"Fuck, scare me." The bandit saw that it was a pheasant, and the tense nerves immediately relaxed and turned away.
Liang Wanxing led the warriors to continue climbing, and when he approached the top of the mountain, he quietly poked his head out, saw that there was no movement, held the rock with both hands, pressed it violently, and stepped forward.
Then, he quickly tied the rope he had brought with him to a rock, lowered the other end, and the bandits climbed up one after another.
Just then, the patrolling bandits came over, and they were taken aback and shouted, "What's the matter?" "Then the shots were fired.
Liang Wanxing saw that he was discovered by the enemy and led his team to fight while directly attacking Sanqing (Guan).
The bandits could not understand the truth, and fled down the mountain one after another, but were intercepted by the bandits who set up an ambush.
The bandit soldiers were attacked by the enemy on their stomachs and backs, and fled in all directions, and the fat old Dao saw that things were not good, so he grabbed Zuo Jiantang and ran towards the Tai Void Cave.
Seeing that he was about to reach the mouth of the cave, Liang Wanxing "dinged and dinged" two shots, and the two guys fell down together.
Liang Wanxing ran to the front to see that fat old Dao was dead, but Zuo Jiantang was gone. Presumably, he ran into the Void Cave, Liang Wanxing thought to himself.
A team member was about to rush into the hole, Liang Wanxing grabbed him, then took off his hat, picked it up with a gun, and probed into the hole.
Only a "bang" was heard, a bullet flew out of the hole, the hat was pierced, and the team members next to it looked at it and stuck out their tongues.
Liang Wanxing picked up a stone and threw it into the hole. Zuo Jiantang thought it was a grenade and hurriedly lay down.
Saying that it was too late, it was fast, Liang Wanxing rushed into the hole with an arrow, a gun butt knocked Zuo Jiantang unconscious, and the follow-up team members firmly bound his hands with ropes, and Zuo Jiantang, the bandit leader who had escaped for a year and two months, was finally arrested.
After the battle, everyone praised: "The captain insisted that he would not let us eat the pheasant, gave up a good meal, but used it to capture the bandit leader who had escaped for more than a year. ”
