I. "Master Chunbo" joined the Party in a cynical manner
Wei Chunbo, formerly known as Wei Changhe (魏長河), was a native of Xizhuang Village, Xingcheng Town, Qianxi County, Hebei Province (formerly under the jurisdiction of Zunhua and Qian'an Counties), born in the fifteenth year of the Qing Dynasty (1890) in a relatively wealthy peasant family, and his father Wei Guowen. Wei Chunbo was the second, the eldest brother Wei Changsheng, the third brother Wei Changqing, and the younger sister Wei Caiyun. The brothers started a family, the people were rich and prosperous, and the life was prosperous. Even if the three brothers separated from each other from 1925, they lived together for many years and were as harmonious as ever. Wei Chunbo married his wife Xu Guizhi and gave birth to four daughters, but only one male was missing, and according to the custom, Wei Chunbo nominally succeeded his eldest brother's second son Wei Shunde as his heir. Wei Chunbo studied in private school for six years as a teenager; in his youth, he was engaged in business as Jia and made many friends. Later, due to the lack of commercial transportation, he changed to Zunhua as a knife and pen mr. and wrote a lawsuit on behalf of the person, and fought many civil lawsuits. During this period, he experienced two social upheavals in the warlord melee, gained insight into the judicial shading of the corrupt officialdom, and was extremely dissatisfied with the feudal warlord government. Because of his cynicism and rigidity, Wei Chunbo did not get an official-like errand in middle age. Coupled with the lack of labor in his house after the brothers separated, he simply rolled up his sleeves and went home to farm. Although he said that he worked in the fields all year round, the burly man still liked to wear a robe, a top hat, a pair of crystal stone glasses on the bridge of his nose, a small cigarette bag with an agate mouth in his mouth, making friends, behaving and talking, and quite a gentlemanly demeanor. People in the ten miles and eight townships called this Second Master Wei "Old Master Chunbo".
Xizhuang village is surrounded by mountains, with leeward winds facing the sun, babbling streams and long streams. Out of the village east of the Black Dragon Pond Pass, to the north to see the Tang Dynasty ancient temple "Wufeng Zenlin Temple" at the foot of the mountain, this treasure temple monks are numerous, the temple is rich, in addition to a few acres of incense there are also vast mountain fields. The ownership of the temple property was originally shared by Xizhuang and eight villages, including Shangsi, Xiasi and Nanguan, but the landlord surnamed Wang in Zhaoyanzhou Village had been coveted for a long time. In the early years of the Republic of China, the five districts of Qian'an County raised funds to organize the Xingcheng High and Small, and Xizhuang and other eight villages could not come up with the 12,300 hanging school funds that were apportioned for a while. The landlord surnamed Wang paid this money for the eight villages in the form of temple property mortgage, and easily wrote the Zen forest temple property to his name. Obviously, the value of the temple property far exceeded ten times and a hundred times that of the ten thousand hanging copper coins, and the eight villages obviously suffered a big loss, and as a result, the people's resentment boiled over. Afterwards, the village security guards negotiated several times to redeem the temple property. The landlord surnamed Wang relied on his power as a directly subordinate provincial senator to ignore this stubble. Intimidated by the power of the royal family, the village guards pleaded with the "Old Master Chunbo" to come out. Wei Chunbo lived up to the expectations of the people, stepped forward, and with a pair of sharp teeth to argue with reason, finally redeemed the temple property. Since then, "Old Master Chunbo" has become famous in the ten miles and eight townships, but Senator Wang is like a fish in the throat and has formed a bond with him.
There is a bully landlord named Zhenhe in Donggouyu. This guy ran rampant in the township, oppressed the good, had a large number of wives and concubines, and even took a granddaughter of the same ethnic group as a child, which was really despised by the township party. In 1928, He took over his wife and forced a human life to die. The weeping lord complained that there was no way out, and begged "Master Chunbo" for help. Wei Chunbo was good at fighting and hugging, and beat up the life lawsuit for the crying master. Hearing that Wei Chunbo had intervened, Zhen He's heart was really bottomless, so he bought the official palace through Senator Zhaoyan zhou Wang's heavy money. As a result, the plaintiff was convicted of a "false accusation", and Wei Chunbo was imprisoned and spent a year and a half in prison in Tianjin. The darkness of justice, the absence of heaven! The fierce man was full of hatred and hatred, and suffered a serious illness in prison, causing his hair to strip naked and become a bald man! No wonder he came back from prison, and his family didn't recognize him at first glance. Suffering from this ordeal, Wei Chunbo became more and more jealous and hateful. He swore, "I won't accept the knife in my neck!" As long as the three inches of qi are there, we must fight them to the end! ”
When people who have squatted in prison come home, they are always a bit "faceless to see Jiangdong's father and elder.". Wei Chunbo was not, but he was born with a pair of hard bones that were straight and straight. From the day after arriving home, he resumed his usual gentlemanly attire and began his extensive socializing. In Tianjin, he made friends with several progressive people, and when he arrived home, he was introduced by Gao Cun (Silao yan), a Communist Party member who joined the party in Kailuan, and became acquainted with Wang Pinglu (formerly known as Gao Yongxiang) in Shanglishuyu. Wei Chunbo listened to the analysis of the two underground parties' analysis of the situation in which the country was in trouble and the political ambition that "it was the responsibility to resist Japan and save the dead." He even called out to know each other and hated each other late. Since then, he has formed a like-minded friendship with Wang Pinglu and Gao Er.
In 1933, Wei Chunbo secretly joined the Communist Party of China under the introduction of the Second High School, completing the ideological transformation from a simple cynical peasant to a proletarian vanguard fighter. This year, he was 44 years old.
Second, the "old life star" Qi family built a fortress
In May 1933, the Great Wall War of Resistance failed, and the Japanese army invading China entered the pass in a big way. Wei Chunbo was deeply distressed by the lives of his hometown and fell into the depths of the water. In the second half of the year, the CPC Jingdong Special Committee implemented the instructions of its superiors and decided to launch armed insurrection in western Qian'an and eastern Zunhua in the hope of echoing the east and west and cooperating with the Central Soviet Region in opposing the Kuomintang's "encirclement and suppression." At that time, the party was in the middle of a period of Wang Ming's erroneous "Left" rule. Affected by this, the rebellion on the Qian'an side failed for three days, and the luanhebei party organization was seriously damaged; because the traffic officer was arrested on the way, the simultaneous riot order issued by the special committee failed to reach the eastern part of Zunhua, so the riots in the Area of Beidian and Mojiatun did not start and ran aground. Under the shroud of the white terror of "suppressing the communists," Li Yunchang, Wang Pinglu, and other riot organizers moved to other places to evade the enemy's pursuit.
A few months later, Wang Pinglu knocked on Wei Chunbo's door, and Old Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Pinglu said: The Jingdong Special Committee and the Qian'an County CPC Committee have summed up the lessons of the failure of the uprising, decided to readjust the tactics of struggle, and prepared for a comeback. Wei Chunbo said: "Since the east is exposed and can't stand on its feet, come to this side, here is not yet exposed." "It's easy to say, things are difficult to handle, and it requires great risks, even to take the life of a family." However, in order to fulfill the tasks assigned by the party, Wei Chunbo took his family and joined him in the revolution, successively developing several nephews such as his eldest brother Wei Changsheng, his third brother Wei Changqing, his wife Xu Guizhi and Wei Shunlong into the party, and also developing his cousin Wei Changzhi, neighbor He Wenquan and other neighbors, relatives and friends into the party, and building his family and Xizhuang village into a strict fighting fortress.
One day, Wei Chunbo called his mother together and set up a "family rule": "In the future, none of you are allowed to wrap your feet anymore, but you must spread your feet." The eldest sister-in-law first objected: "The servants do not bind their feet, and when they grow up, they are all bigfoot pieces, who wants to find the in-laws?" Wei Chunbo explained, "We all have to look farther ahead. In the future, the old and young masters will have to go out and fight devils, who will plant the land in the family, and who will pick the water? Who is the firewood to fight? Don't you all have to rely on your mother? All of you are small feet, twisting and twisting, not in the middle? He pointed at Xu Guizhi again and said, "Since I came back from Tianjin, she has spread her feet, don't I still want her?" This "family rule" was established, with Xu Guizhi taking the lead, and several concubines and girls threw away the shroud, which had a great impact on the whole village.
Under Wei Chunbo's organization, the three brothers and children each had their own division of labor: Wei Chunbo naturally concentrated on the outside world and planned big things; Wei Changsheng led the male laborers to work in the fields to ensure the harvest, and at night they had to guard the gate and receive outsiders; Wei Changqing and his nephews ran east and west according to Wei Chunbo's assignments, passing on information; and the concubines were responsible for cooking and entertaining guests. The party's underground activities have gradually unfolded, and the number of underground workers from outside has been increasing, with Li Yunchang, Yan Dakai, Wang Pinglu, Su Linyan, Zhang Zhichao, Gao Cun, and Gao Jinzhong coming and going frequently. Among them, Yan Dakai, a member of the special committee who used teaching as a cover in Heiwa, opened the door more often, generally coming and going at night, and if he stayed down, he would not leave the house, and no outsiders were allowed to know. In the cold winter, Xu Guizhi sometimes gets up several times a night, cooks on the fire, and never complains. This went on for four years.
Entertaining foreign comrades required a lot of expenses, wei Chunbo's family's land and land grain was getting less and less needed, and the life of a family of six fell to the level of lower middle peasants. In order to support the revolution, the family reduced their food and clothing, and tried every means to adjust the food for the comrades: let the comrades eat cakes, and the family members drink thin foam or vegetable rice; let the comrades eat vegetables, and the family often relies on wild vegetables to fill their hunger. The most important thing in building a revolutionary fortress is to do a good job in security and confidentiality. After Japan entered the customs, it stepped up its colonial rule over the city and countryside, and the Yuewang Temple, which was five miles away from Xizhuang, was established in a stronghold, and spies and spies often appeared in the streets. In order to prevent the enemy from spying, Wei Chunbo's family of adults and children were alert, and there were people on duty day and night. Wei Changsheng lived in the door-locked room for many years, and at night, as long as there was a situation, he would ring the bell connecting Wei Chunbo's living room; during the day, the children playing on the street would keep a whistle, and whenever they saw someone wearing a big hat or eye, they would quickly run home to report. Little Four is a clever ghost and has become a small sentry praised by adults. In addition, Wei Chunbo deliberately recruited his neighbor's cousin Wei Changzhi (pseudonym "Liu Fu") to join the party, and assigned him to open a small pharmacy -- under the cover of sitting in the hall and langzhong, to carry out the vigilance and liaison joint tasks of the special committee organs.
Among the comrades, Wei Chunbo was the oldest, bald and bald- and bald-headed, rich-looking, kind,and kind,with a smile and kindness, and the comrades all respected him. I don't know who it was, but when I saw the Antarctic Xianwengtu on the wall, I gave Lao Wei the nickname of "Old Life Star". Comrades all said, "As long as you enter the door of the old birthday star, you are equivalent to your own home."
Third, "Boss Wei" has a good plan
In 1936, Peng Zhen, director of the Organization Department of the Northern Bureau of the CPC, inspected Jidong and was accompanied by Wang Pinglu and other members of the special committee to Xizhuang Village, where he was warmly received by Wei Chunbo's family. During his inspection tour, Peng Zhen conveyed the spirit of the Wayaobao Conference of the CPC Central Committee, corrected the influence of Wang Ming's "Left" mistakes in the Party of Jidong, and made it clear that the Party's main task at present is to "gather all the forces of the Anti-Japanese And Anti-Han Traitors and carry out a victorious national revolutionary war against the Han traitors." In order to strengthen the party's leadership over this great national revolutionary war, the party at a higher level decided to set up two special committees, Jirebian and Jingdong, and appointed Wang Pinglu as the secretary of the Jirebian special committee. Listening to the instructions of the party at his superiors in person, Wei Chunbo's heart was bright and his confidence was doubled. Since then, he has taken advantage of his years of social relations and all possible conditions to sit in Xizhuang and strategize in all directions, and has become a "Wei boss" who assisted the special committee in the operation of the big deal of guerrilla resistance behind enemy lines.
We should unite relatives and friends and vigorously develop party organizations. Wei Chunbo, as the head of the party organization in the southwest of the relocation, secretly developed the party organization from Xizhuang to the surrounding areas. To the east, it first developed to the area of Nanjujiayu and Changshangou, which are twenty miles away. Through kinship, in 1936, the three brothers Wang Zhansheng, Wang Zhankui, and Wang Zhanting joined the party, where another secret contact point was set up for the special committee organs. Subsequently, through their social relations, they made "thirty-six friends," and in the villages of Changshangou, Nanbei Jujia, Xinji, Nanliuzhuang, Diaoshuiyuan, Quanzhuang, and Dayu, they recruited dozens of people, including Li Qin, Han Lin, Han Yin, Liu Yin, Lu Shouting, Lu Yongchang, Guo Yongshun, and Deng Yixun, to join the party, set up central branches of three subordinate branches, and appointed Wang Zhansheng as the secretary of the central branch. To the north, Zhao Wenyang and others joined the party in Chengxiyu, and also introduced a female party member from Caizhuang to marry into Chengxiyu and join the party branch there; through kinship, he also developed the young Liu Ruihong (pseudonym Sun Ming, whose father was a valuable subordinate of the Qing army and participated in the Battle of Jiawu) to join the party and sent him to look for Sun Yongqin's anti-Japanese troops; to the south and west, he developed the party organization to many villages at the junction of Qian (An) Feng (Run) and Qian (An) Zun (Hua). For example, he personally developed Chen Zhuang Chen Mingjiu (pseudonym Lin Gao), Huabei (pseudonym) and other people to join the party, and developed Cai Yongchang (Cai Yongchang), Zhao Minghai and other backbone cadres to join the party in Caizhuang. By 1937, with Xizhuang Village, the seat of the special committee, as the center, the party organization in the western part of Qian'an was restored and expanded, and it was united with neighboring counties. Most of these party members became cadres of the Anti-Japanese Coalition in the subsequent anti-Japanese struggle, and some even became united county magistrates or county party secretaries.
Unite patriotic people from all walks of life and expand the anti-Japanese national united front. After 1936, Wei Chunbo mobilized inner-party forces, expanded the organization of the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Association, and united and won over a large number of local vigilante groups, policemen, bandits, and landlord nursing homes; for example, he took advantage of the social connections of Wang Shoucun (pseudonym Wang Guanqing and Zhang Jianguo), a native of Zhaoyanzhou, as the son-in-law of the old Wei family in Xizhuang, to develop the xingcheng pseudo-police substation platoon leader into a member of the Communist Party of China, instructing him to use his status as a policeman as a cover to do things for the anti-Japanese resistance. With this person as an internal response, the Xingcheng Police Substation became the place where the traffic officers of the special commission (Zhao Minghai, Song Dingfu, etc.) passed through Xingcheng to stay. After Wei Chunbo's struggle, local armed and unemployed vagrants in many places, such as Xingcheng and Santunying, gradually turned toward the anti-Japanese resistance and agreed to join the anti-Japanese national united front. By 1937, the county's anti-Japanese self-defense association had expanded to thousands of people.
Establish liaison stations and lay multiple secret lines of communication. In 1936, he developed Xu Zhenduo, a primary school teacher at his father-in-law's house in Nanguan Village, to join the party. We have to start all over again. After graduating from Qian'an Normal School in 1934, Xu went to teach at Xiaofuzhuang Primary School, and was hated and plotted against Fu Ruisheng, the parent of the calf protector, for disciplining the students. At that time, Fu was a member of the Xingcheng Militia Regiment, running rampant in the townships, and could not be a lifetime. One day in September 1936, a fellow of Xu Zhenduo's who sold cigarettes in a subset of Yang shops passed by Xiaofuzhuang, and Xu Zhenduo left him at school for the night. Unexpectedly, the next morning, I woke up early to find that the cigarette pick had been stolen. Some people saw that Fu Ruisheng instructed his nephew to commit the crime, but Fu pretended to be a good person and instigated Teacher Xu to go to the Xinji Patrol Police Station to complain to others. When passing through the church, the wronged man said earnestly, "Brother, you have been deceived!" Xu Zhenduo suddenly realized that he had taken Fu Ruisheng's suit. So he went to the county court. He did not know that in the dark society of the pseudo-"Jidong Defense Communist Autonomous Government", this complaint was equivalent to being sued to the surname Fu. As a result, Xu Zhenduo was convicted of "false accusations" and squatted in the classroom. A few months later, he pulled his leg out of the classroom, lost his job, and fell into extreme wandering and helplessness.
Wei Chunbo took a fancy to this cynical young man who was no different from his past encounters, contacted him as an elder of his uncle, enlightened him by explaining the October Revolution and the Chinese Revolution, enlightened him, pointed out for him the only way out for him to be free from oppression only by following the Communist Party to make a revolution, and soon developed him to secretly join the Communist Party of China. Wei Chunbo was tasked with the new party member: instead of teaching, he would become a big treasurer and run a grocery store at the Iwaguchi Market, named "Xiang Yicheng." The grocery store soon opened for business, and Xu Zhenduo took charge of the façade and made the business lively. In fact, this shop is also a cover and a hanging signboard by the Jirebian Special Committee, and it is actually another secret liaison station, which undertakes tasks such as sending and receiving, intelligence collection and transmission. Before and after this, Wei Chunbo also sent people to lay several communication lines from the northwest to the Hongshan Pass, the southwest to Dajintang, and the east to Luanle. In addition, a simple radio was also obtained from Tianjin to secretly listen to the broadcasts of Yan'an Radio, collect news and news, and understand the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression throughout the country, which played a great role in carrying out the party's work.
Then there is the sale of land to buy guns and assist the special committee in creating an anti-Japanese guerrilla group. In 1935, Wei Chunbo persuaded his family to give 4 acres of colored land and bought several large guns to give to Wang Pinglu. In 1936, Zhao Minghai, a party member he developed, reported that the concubine of Wang Yixuan's family, the inspector of Caizhuang, was tired of playing with a small handful and wanted to change it to a new one. Old Wei listened to the itching of his hands, gritted his teeth and made a good piece of land, and spent 90 yuan of ocean to buy this German-made pistol. Wei Changsheng, the eldest brother who knew chai mi gui the most about family planning, was a little distressed: "Second elder, the land in the gang has become three shares, and your share is only more than ten acres." Out and out, what do you eat with so many mouths outside the house? Wei Chunbo said, "Pulling a team to fight Japan, how can you do without a gun?" We are all party members, and we have to be open-minded. In order to raise funds to buy guns, Wei Chunbo asked his wife Xu Guizhi to come forward, mobilized Nanguan's father-in-law's family to get land, and borrowed a part from his brother-in-law Xu Guorong to support the War of Resistance. With the active assistance of Wei Chunbo and others, the Jirebian Special Committee created an anti-Japanese guerrilla force led by Wang Pinglu, which initially had only thirteen pioneers and eight big guns, which can be described as a spark in the vast night.
In order to preserve this fire and burn more and more vigorously, what important role did "Boss Wei" play at a critical moment?
Fourth, the mainstay of stabilizing the hearts and minds of the army
In August 1937, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held the Luochuan Conference and formulated the "Ten Programs of the Communist Party of China for Resisting Japan and Saving the Country" and the strategic plan for opening up the battlefield behind enemy lines in North China. Mao Zedong proposed that "the Red Army can carry out guerrilla warfare in Jidong behind enemy lines and based on the Wulong (Ling) Mountain." In accordance with the central authorities' decision-making arrangements, the Northern Bureau and the Hebei Provincial Party Committee made a decision on launching an anti-Japanese uprising in eastern Hebei.
In October, Li Yunchang, secretary of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, was ordered to return to Jidong as secretary of the Jirebian Special Committee, and Wang Pinglu was reappointed as the military director of the special committee, specifically responsible for military work. Subsequently, the special committee held a meeting of cadres at the Santunying Big Car Shop to make specific arrangements and division of labor for the preparations for the relocation. Wei Chunbo attended the meeting and was tasked with launching an anti-Japanese uprising in Luan Henan.
In the same month, the higher-level party specially sent two Red Army cadres who had experienced hundreds of battles to come here to assist the special committee in training anti-Japanese guerrillas. When he said that the old Red Army was coming, Wei Chunbo was excited. Because there are already rumors in the folklore that the Red Army, after a twenty-five-thousand-mile long march, can fight in battle, and has extraordinary skills, and even legends say that some Red Army "has three heads and six arms, can be strange and narrow," and can jump over the ridge" and so on.
One day, Xizhuang came to a servant selling cage comb grates, carrying money and pants into the village and shouting: "Scraper scraper, high fire-" (recalling the voice of Wei Changli's conversation, suspected to be "scraper scraper, good goods"). This peddler is different from people, selling a dozen, buying zero and not selling, so someone quarreled with him. Wei Changzhi came out of his small pharmacy to break the siege, said the code, and turned to report to Wei Chunbo. Old Wei Ying went out the door and raised his hand to scratch the head of his "birthday star old man", which was equivalent to handing over a unique business card. He said: "Just right, I have a lot of women in my family, buy a dozen, but get home to see the goods, but also good deals." In this way, the peddler entered the Door of the Wei family and revealed his true identity--it turned out that he was Kong Qingtong, the commander of the Red Army Camp who had been looking forward to it for many days. A few days later, another old Red Army soldier also came to Xizhuang to pick up relations, he was Li Runmin, the political commissar of the Red Army. The two old Red Army soldiers were dressed as merchants, with a southern accent, and were very ordinary, with no three heads and six arms at all. After listening to the two Red Army commanders' full-bodied introductions of military theories and combat experiences, Old Wei praised them in unison: "If you don't obey, you can't do it." In the end, after 25,000 miles of long march, after hundreds of battles, and the old Red Army that resisted the big in Yan'an, it is a level! ”
The instructors arrived, and the guerrillas immediately began training. One of the training classes was carefully planned by Wei Chunbo and his party members Cai Yongchang (Chang) in the south of Xizhuang. It is a small courtyard outside the village. At the time of the palm lights, the guerrillas came one after another, and some compatriots also came to see the liveliness. In order to cover people's eyes and ears, the training class went so far as to make a mistake and drummed up the ceremony of "house ceremony" to teach the incense hall. The guerrillas brought up the table, laid out offerings, burned incense and worshipped the statue of the Bodhisattva, and then carefully discussed the incense heads of the generations, saying that I was "learning" the character class, that you were the "enlightened" character class, and that he was a "child" character class... Some people also "disciplined" with vigor and eloquence: "When you enter the family ceremony, you must cherish the old and pity the weak, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, kill the rich and help the poor, and in the future, you can still have an official of all sizes to do" Yunyun. At that time, the family etiquette that originated in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was still very popular, and the onlookers were accustomed to this set, so they gradually dispersed. In the dead of night, the training class returned to the truth. Wang Pinglu talked about the political situation, Kong Qingtong and Li Runmin talked about guerrilla tactics, and the guerrillas listened to it.
In December 1937, after the special committee presided over the anti-Japanese people's congress of the ten counties of Jingdong in Duoyutun, Luan County, the "First Detachment of the Third Military Region of the North China People's Anti-Japanese Coalition Army" was created with Wang Pinglu as the commander. In January of the following year, the team of only 30 commanders and fighters attacked the pseudo-"Manchukuo Border Police Station" along the Qinghe River at night. During the battle, Commander Wang Pinglu was seriously wounded and died the next day. On his deathbed, he specially instructed his comrades-in-arms around him to quickly go to the "old birthday star" and ask him to quickly contact the special committee and persist in the anti-Japanese guerrilla war.
The commander sacrificed his life and martyred the country, and the team was gathered or scattered. At Wei Chunbo in Xizhuang, Shi Zhen, the political commissar of the detachment, showed a wavering mood and publicly offered to leave the detachment and go back to the south, selling the gun without travel expenses. A single sentence was tantamount to pouring a scoop of oil on the fire of Old Wei's heart. Wei Chunbo stood up and refuted with a clear banner: "The commander has sacrificed, and everyone is very sad. However, the team must not disperse, but must turn grief into strength, continue to fight, and resolutely drive little Japan out of China! As for someone who insists on leaving and going to work elsewhere, my old Wei can't keep you, but he has to leave me the gun, which is the lifeblood of the land we exchanged for life, and we can't sell it, and we can't sell it resolutely! ”
Old Wei's words were agreed by everyone, but Shi Zhen still left. In order to keep his gun, Wei Chunbo sold the native cloth made of spinning threads by his wife and daughters and wound him with coils. When the Spring Festival came, Wei Chunbo himself funded and selected the old Chen family, a single family in Liangxi Orchard (Natural Village), in the secluded Xizhuang Village, to prepare a rich Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and spent a reunion year for Kong Qingtong, Li Runmin, and other commanders and fighters of the old Red Army who were thousands of miles away. Chinese New Year's Eve night, Wei Chunbo and the commanders and fighters sprinkled wine in the sky to pay tribute to the commander's spirit in heaven. Deputy Political Commissar Li Runmin taught and sang anti-war songs, which aroused the high fighting spirit of the commanders and fighters to inherit their legacy and regroup. In order to show his sincerity in resolutely supporting the detachment in resisting the war to the end, Wei Chunbo solemnly handed over Wei Shunxing, the third nephew of Nagato, who was only 17 years old, to the head of the detachment, and asked him to rush to the forefront of the war against Japan on behalf of his whole family.
Wei Chunbo, the "old life star," did not fail to live up to the heavy trust of the martyr Wang Pinglu, the introducer who joined the party, and stabilized the hearts of the army at a crucial moment. Soon, he went to Wang Laopin's house in Changshangou Village and contacted Li Yunchang, secretary of the special committee, to report the situation and request instructions. In the first month, the special committee selected 14 experienced guerrillas from the south of Beining Road, including Zhang Heming and Zhang Zhenyu, to enrich the first detachment. In the battle against the Yaowangmiao stronghold in Xinglong, the young warrior Wei Shunxing was wounded in the right arm and left permanently disabled. As soon as he heard that his younger son was almost killed in the mouth, Wei Chunbo's sister-in-law was very emotional, complaining that he, the uncle, should not be cruel and let such a small child go out to fight. In order to appease the eldest sister-in-law, Wei Chunbo did a good job of persuasion.
Wei Chunbo, the "old birthday star," also did another urgent thing -- to quickly protect the martyrs' families. Wei Chunbo knew that before Wang Pinglu's sacrifice, his brother Gao Yongrui had died heroically in the hunger strike two years after he was arrested and imprisoned in 1934. Nowadays, the two beams and pillars of the old Gao family have collapsed, how not to make people feel sorry! The battle along the Qinghe River fired the first shot fired by the people of Jidong after the outbreak of the all-out War of Resistance against Japanese traitors, which awakened millions of compatriots inside and outside the Great Wall and also caused the Japanese puppet army to frantically pursue and suppress the Japanese personnel and their families. At this urgent juncture, Wei Chunbo quickly sent people to rush before the enemy raided his home, secretly took Wang Pinglu's family of seven or eight people from ShangliShuyu, dozens of miles away, to Xizhuang, settled down a little, and then dispersed and moved to a safer place. Among them, the party organization sent troops to escort Gao Yushu, the son of the martyr Wang Pinglu, to Yan'an for key protection and training. On the night of receiving Lao Gao's family, Wei Chunbo led the whole family to brave the cold wind to wait at the entrance of the village. More than 20 members of the Gao and Wei families hugged each other as soon as they met, crying and making a mess. Wei Chunbo said to the rich and noble old man, "Yongxiang and Yongrui brothers died gloriously. They are gone, we are all the children of your old man's family, we must take revenge on snow and hate! ”
Howling the heavens and the earth, suffering to see the true heart. The revolution is like fire, and it can resist the three or nine cold. You must know that the movement of that meeting occasion was not small, even in the middle of the night, it was easy to cause people to discuss, and even expose the target -- Wei Chunbo was really out of deep sorrow for the death of the person who introduced him to the party and the guide who participated in the revolution, and once he saw the family of the martyr who abandoned him, he had already ignored the risk of setting himself on fire.
Facts have proved that Wang Pinglu did not misread the wrong person, and Wei Chunbo, a party member he developed, can indeed be worthy of heavy trust: he is extremely loyal to the party and the people, his revolutionary will is as firm as a rock, he is calm and sophisticated, he has a lot of sophistication and strategy, he is sympathetic to his comrades and cherishes righteousness, and he is a rare backbone figure.
5. Adviser to the Anti-Coalition
In May 1938, the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to merge the Jingdong Special Committee into the Jirebian Special Committee, and appointed Wang Ruiqing (formerly known as Hu Xikui) as the secretary of the special committee, and the former secretary of the special committee, Li Yunchang, was specially responsible for the military and stepped up preparations for an armed uprising. In June, Li Yunchang presided over the Tianjiawanzi Conference, which adopted the action plan of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Alliance and the list of cadres of the Three-Way Rebel Army. Among them, Li Yunchang served as deputy commander of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Resistance League and commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army; Wang Ruiqing, secretary of the Special Committee, concurrently served as the political director of the Second Route Army; and Wei Chunbo was familiar with the people, experienced and capable, and was appointed as an adviser to the Road Resistance League (Li Yunchang recalled in his later years, the headquarters did not have the post of chief of staff at that time, and the adviser to the Anti-Japanese Coalition was actually equivalent to the chief of staff and the assistant of the commander). At that time, the organs and headquarters of the special committee were located in Xizhuang Village at the junction of Feng (Run), Luan (County), and Qian (An), which became one of the sources of the CCP's anti-Japanese armed rebellion.
Following the July 6 uprising in Gangbei, Luan County, on July 7, the Second Route Army Resisted Coalition rioted at Yankou. The united front foundation that Wei Chunbo had painstakingly managed for many years immediately came into play. The anti-Japanese armed forces in various localities rose up and surged to Yankou like a torrent, and the Fourth General Brigade of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, with Kong Qing as the commander-in-chief, was established. People raised their eyebrows and ran to tell each other. "(Riot) moved (riot) moved, Chinese should also look up!" "Overthrow Japanese imperialism and resolutely drive little Japan out of China!" Anti-Japanese slogans rose and fell, shaking the valley. The young and middle-aged people of each village put down their farm work to sign up for the army, and some families joined the rebel army without returning, and only one village in Xizhuang pulled out a hundred-man brigade headed by He Wenquan.
The next day, the Fourth Anti-Japanese Coalition Brigade took advantage of the fog and fog to capture the Jade Emperor Temple stronghold near the iron factory town of Zunhua County, defeated the pseudo-security team, captured more than 80 people, and captured 11 war horses. The first battle of the Anti-Japanese League was successful, and the victory was held in Xizhuang Village. The red flag of the headquarters station was displayed, the war horses were hissing, and the people were eating pot pulp and comforting the children and soldiers, just as lively as the New Year. Wei Chunbo's family was even more busy: as an adviser to the Anti-Japanese Resistance League, in addition to mobilizing his family and fellow villagers to join the army, he also poured ink and copied bulletins with Director Wang Ruiqing; his eldest brother Wei Changsheng was old and strong, and Zhang Luo became a big housekeeper; the third brother Wei Changqing organized the Youth Newspaper congress to help the troops expand; and his wife Xu Guizhi led the women to burn fires and cook and make military uniforms, flags, and armbands. The villagers saw that the old customers and peddlers who came to the daily life changed their uniforms, and one by one they were either commanders or captains, and they all said: "The sky has changed, the sky is dawn." The 'old life star' is far-sighted, resourceful, and really a man who does great things."
In the following days, Wei Chunbo assisted Wang Ruiqing and Li Yunchang, two chiefs, and commanded the Anti-Japanese League to march into Xingcheng, and Wang Guanqing, a communist, led the police to declare an uprising. The rebel forces on both sides of the Luan River converged and joined the anti-Japanese coalition army. The anti-Japanese riots were like volcanic eruptions, and the rapid development of the situation exceeded expectations. In accordance with the spirit of the expansion meeting held by the Headquarters of the Second Route Army at the Renshutang Pharmacy in Xingcheng, Wei Chunbo, on the basis of the formation of the Fourth General Brigade, personally commanded and attacked the towns, incorporated and expanded the number, and formed the Eleventh General Brigade, the Twelfth General Brigade, and the Fourteenth General Brigade. These anti-coalition forces marched all the way, created momentum all the way, and expanded their troops all the way, and the number of people joining the army in the western part of Qian'an increased to more than 5,000. These rebels became the main force of the Second Route Army, participating in famous battles such as capturing the Wali Station and cutting off the Beining Road. In mid-August, the Anti-Japanese Coalition Army in eastern Hebei and the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army advancing into eastern Hebei met at the iron factory in Zunhua County, pushing the great rebellion to a climax of victory. In order to achieve this major victory, Wei Chunbo, an adviser to the Anti-Japanese League, made great efforts and made immortal merits.
The anti-Japanese coalition army galloped across the land of eastern Hebei and subverted the puppet regime in eastern Hebei. However, the Japanese puppet army was not willing to accept their defeat and waited for an opportunity to launch a crazy counterattack on the central area of the riot. On August 2 (the seventh day of the first month of July), the traitor bully Who had formed a feud with Wei Chunbo took the opportunity of the transfer of the Anti-Japanese Alliance to draw the Japanese Manchu army from the Xifeng Pass, opened the way with machine guns, raided Xingcheng Daji, and braved the rain to attack Xizhuang Village. After the Japanese puppet army entered the village, under the designation of the traitors in the village, they lit a fire from inside the house and burned more than 270 houses of the families of the Anti-Japanese Coalition at one time. In the heavy rain, Xizhuang Village turned into a sea of fire. The courtyard of the Wei Chunbo brothers burned the most, and the 5 main rooms and the opposite wing were burned to rubble.
After the fire, many family members of the Anti-Japanese Coalition looked at the fire and cried, but Wei Chunbo's wife, Xu Guizhi, did not shed a tear, but persuaded everyone to be strong. Wei Chunbo returned after hearing the news and comforted the villagers who were killed. In the face of the tragic situation, listening to the villagers' accusations against the Japanese traitors, Wei Chunbo remembered the unfinished life lawsuit ten years ago, and new hatreds and old hatreds surged into his heart. Carrying out the orders of the headquarters and the anti-Japanese government, the anti-japanese coalition forces arrested and brought to justice two traitors from The village, eliminating public nuisance, and the local people clapped their hands and applauded. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the Anti-Allied Command allocated funds for disaster relief and compensated the families of the Anti-Allied Forces. Since then, Wei Chunbo's family has moved to live in the courtyard of the traitorous landlord's house (now transformed into the "Wei Chunbo Martyrs Memorial Hall").
Sixth, the iron-faced man who destroys his relatives in righteousness
The storm of the people's anti-Japanese uprising in eastern Hebei swept through the whole region, stirred up the whole country, and shocked China and foreign countries, but this excellent situation was not maintained. After the autumn, the Anti-Japanese Coalition retreated to the west, encountered the main force of the Japanese army intercepted, and most of the collapse. Wei Chunbo returned to Jidong with the remnants of the headquarters, and after the battle of Luanxian County, he withdrew to Liugouyu in qianxi, leaving only more than 130 troops directly under his command. At this time, the invading Japanese army stepped up its bloody rule over eastern Hebei, especially the central area of the uprising, and set up strongholds in key market towns such as Xingcheng, Xinzhuangzi, and Santunying. The enemy in various strongholds frequently "cleared the countryside" and "swept up" and frantically hunted down and killed Communists and anti-Japanese personnel. In the blink of an eye, the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in eastern Hebei fell from a climax to a low point.
In the face of defeat and the white terror created by the enemy, Wei Chunbo did not lose heart and waver, but resolutely implemented the decision of the Liugouyu Conference and threw himself wholeheartedly into the arduous struggle of consolidating the old departments, regrouping, and persisting in the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in eastern Hebei. It was the winter of that year that the Japanese invaders owed his family's first blood debt.
On December 26 (the fifth day of the first month of November), the Japanese puppet army stationed at the Xingcheng stronghold suddenly surrounded Xizhuang Village and attacked Wei Chunbo's home. Xu Guizhi did not look good, and pushed her husband and little daughter Wei Shumin out the back door, let them escape, and turned to face the enemy in the front yard. Under the cover of the resourcefulness of his family and neighbors, Wei Chunbo's father and daughter escaped safely, while Xu Guizhi, Wei Changqing, He Wenquan and other Communists fell into the clutches of the devil.
In the Japanese gendarmerie unit stationed at Xingcheng stronghold, the enemy was both soft and hard, trying to get Wei Chunbo's whereabouts and other secrets of the War of Resistance from Xu Guizhi's mouth. This female Communist Party member kept her mouth as tight as a bottle, was unyielding, regarded death as a homecoming, and always maintained the national integrity of preferring to be crushed by jade and not to be completed, and the rock-solid iron will of the Chinese Communists. (For details, see the article "Song and Cry Xu Guizhi")
Wei Changqing followed his second brother to participate in the revolution, organized the Anti-Japanese Daily Congress during the riot, and mobilized more than 20 young and middle-aged anti-Japanese people from more than 20 villages to participate in the Newspaper Congress, and he served as the director of the District Newspaper Congress. After his arrest, he was tortured and beaten with great righteousness, preferring to die without revealing the secrets of the revolution. It is said that there are traitors in this village who flatter the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie: "Even if you give many golden beans to redeem Wei Changqing, you can't release people." The negative teaching materials confirm that Wei Chunbo and his brothers, wives and nephews have long become heroes of the War of Resistance and nemesis of the Japanese and pseudo-Japanese.
January 8, 1939 (the eighteenth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar) is the Xingcheng Grand Gathering. Japanese gendarmes took Xu Guizhi, 38, and Wei Changqing, 39, to the streets for public display. When Wei Changqing saw the Japanese fascists brutally killing his second sister-in-law, he scolded the invaders for being inhumane and exterminating humanity. At the Dongdakeng Execution Ground, in the face of the executioner's butcher's knife, communists Xu Guizhi, Wei Changqing, and He Wenquan regarded death as a homecoming and were heroic and righteous.
When the bad news of the dead wife and brother came, Wei Chunbo was like five thunderbolts, but the aggressor's brutal behavior did not shake the rock-solid revolutionary will of the hero of the War of Resistance. He wrote down this blood debt, turned his great grief into an even more powerful revolutionary force, continued to gather troops, and went all out to open up and create guerrilla base areas. However, there were certain difficulties in mobilizing mass work, and an important reason was that after the anti-coalition forces collapsed, some scattered soldiers became bandits. Under the banner of the Anti-Japanese League, they went so far as to engage in the business of harassing the people and extorting money and bullying men and women, thus seriously discrediting the reputation of the Communist Party and the people's army. Without the support of the basic masses, the revolution will be impossible to move forward, and it is urgent to suppress bandits and the people. At this juncture, a very difficult case was placed in front of Wei Chunbo's advisers.
In February 1939, when the Fifth Headquarters of the Anti-Japanese League, which had just been gathered, was reorganizing at Thirty-Two Ridges, someone reported to Wei Chunbo's advisers, who were sitting in command in the orchard, that after his step-son Wei Shunde returned to his hometown on his way west, he abducted a woman to drill a ravine, and also forcibly requisitioned anti-Japanese donations in the name of Wei Chunbo, enriched himself, squandered and played, and did not return to the team after several admonitions. Wei Chunbo was furious when he heard this, and scolded himself, "Bastard! It pays off! The Old Wei Family would never allow such an unscrupulous son! In order to strictly enforce military discipline and set an example for you, Wei Advisor immediately decided to kill his relatives in righteousness and ordered Wei Shunde to be arrested and sentenced to death. Before the execution of the Fifth General Brigade, the village cadres of the Thirty-Two Ridges led the masses, and the father-in-law of the martyr Wei Changqing led the family to kneel on the court and collectively plead for mercy as a guarantee. Seeing the situation, the cadres of the Fifth General Brigade rushed to the orchard outside the ditch and asked Wei Chunbo whether he would take back his life and send wei Shunde lightly. Elder Wei Changsheng and his two elders also came to plead bitterly, saying, "It has been less than a month since his second sister-in-law and the third elder died at the hands of the Japanese, and the bones are not cold, so we can't mutilate ourselves!" The old Wei family can't die anymore, or let the children go..." Wei Chunbo didn't want to move his heart of compassion? However, he focused on the overall situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, considered it again and again, still did not favoritism, and resolutely issued an order to carry out the original decision.
Wei Chunbo's great righteousness in destroying his relatives and enforcing the law strictly showed the communists' determination to resolutely eradicate corruption in the ranks in order to safeguard the interests of the masses and the party's prestige, profoundly educated the commanders and fighters of the troops, effectively straightened out military discipline, and established a good image among the masses of "the people's army is for the people, and the people's army loves the people." In the first half of 1939, the anti-coalition forces in the western part of Qian'an gathered the old units and formed a new twenty-third general brigade of 400 to 500 people. Han Dongzheng, former secretary of the Qian'an County CPC Committee, served as the chief of the general team, and Xu Zhenduo, a party member developed by Wei Chunbo and former cadre of the Eleventh Corps, served as the political director. In coordination with the Suchen detachment of the Eighth Route Army, this unit fought guerrilla warfare against the Japanese puppet army at the foot of the Belt Mountain and on both sides of the Luan River, assisted local party organizations in mobilizing the masses, created an anti-Japanese democratic regime, and opened up the mountainous area at the junction of the three counties of Feng (Run) Luan (County) and Qian (An) into the earliest anti-Japanese guerrilla base area in the whole region, gradually reversing the passive situation of the War of Resistance in this area.
7. The united county magistrate who fought to the end
In October 1939, the fengluanqian united county government, the first county-level anti-Japanese democratic regime in eastern Hebei, was proclaimed, and the Fengluanqian united county committee of the CPC was established at the same time. This was a major pioneering deed of the Party organization in Jidong under the conditions of the brutal struggle at that time when the enemy occupied the towns and the countryside, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and the canine teeth were intertwined.
On January 1, 1940, the Party Sub-Committee of Jidong District held its first enlarged meeting, known in history as the "Gelaowan Conference". The meeting implemented the spirit of the Northern Bureau's military city meeting and the relevant instructions of the party committee of Jirecha District, and made important decisions such as consolidating the existing guerrilla areas, opening up new districts, creating an anti-Japanese democratic regime, and establishing several small anti-Japanese guerrilla base areas. Among them, it is particularly emphasized that the eastern part should consolidate and develop the Fengluanqian guerrilla base areas on the basis of the Belt Mountain. However, there was a shortage of cadres at that time, and the government team of Fengluanqian United County was only the county magistrate Lu Qiming. Due to the harsh environment, the first county magistrate sent from Yan'an arrived in office less than four months ago, and was heroically killed in the Battle of Erzhuzi in February.
The task of building political power is arduous, and the post of county chief cannot be absent. Who can succeed to this important position? The Party Sub-Committee of the Eastern Hebei District finally selected Wei Chunbo,a native who had been active in this area since he joined the revolution; he was familiar with the situation, had stood the test for a long time, and had rich experience in fighting against the enemy; in particular, he was honest and courageous, did not favor favoritism, and had a high prestige among the common people—after all, he was a 50-year-old man, his wife had died not long ago, and he was accompanied by a child xiao Shumin, who had no wife. Can he take on such a heavy burden? What is lamentable is that Zhou Wenbin, director of the organization department of the district party sub-committee and secretary of the Fengluanqian United County CPC Committee, approached him and after talking about the organizational appointment, Wei Chunbo not only did not say any conditions, but also resolutely expressed his obedience to the organizational decision. In this way, Old Wei Linwei was ordered to solemnly take over the great seal of the FengluanQian United County Government.
For Wei Chunbo, he had seen a lot of county officials when he was young, but they were all stolen officials and corrupt officials who "opened to the south of the gate, and there was no money to come in when fighting a lawsuit." He is well aware that the "county official" he inherited today is fundamentally different from those corrupt officials who have made false county orders; this is a democratic county magistrate who has never been pioneered in the world, and an entrepreneur who has seized power with the barrel of a gun and fought for the people. Just like the meaning of his name "Long River" and "Spring Wave": to seek liberation for the toiling masses, open a long river of spring waves. This is also his greatest pursuit of leading his whole family to participate in the revolution. The most urgent task at present is to unite the people of all walks of life to jointly resist the war, to open up the base areas like a wasteland, to consolidate them, and to persist in them. In order to reduce the involvement and take up his post, he sent his 14-year-old daughter to the army to become a small hygienist, instructing her to be as strong and brave as her mother, obey the leadership, and take good care of the uncles and aunts of the wounded and sick.
In the early days of the United County Government, there was no fixed office location, no complete set of personnel and office funds, and it was a veritable "back pocket government". Someone wrote figuratively: "A satchel and a chapter, a pair of feet and a gun, towards the east village twilight in the west, the enemy came to me to play hide and seek." This is the true portrayal of the work and life of the Wei County Governor at that time.
In an extremely arduous guerrilla environment, Governor Wei resolutely implemented the instructions of the district party sub-committee and the decision of the joint county party committee, and pioneered the following work: Mobilizing the masses to rise up to resist the war and strengthen the anti-Japanese organizations; establishing an anti-Japanese democratic regime in counties, districts, and villages, and promoting the clerk system at the village level; experimenting with the policy of reasonable burdens and resolving financial difficulties; eliminating traitors and opposing special forces, and severely cracking down on pro-Japanese forces; supporting the superior military and subordinates, and forging close relations between military and civilian cadres and masses; organizing the people's armed forces and cooperating with the main forces in combat, and so on. In the first half of 1940, the anti-Japanese guerrilla base area in Fengluanqian United County grew from small to large, and under the county government, there were already four general districts, more than a dozen sub-districts, and more than 100 administrative villages south of the Luan River and before and after the Belt Mountain, and moreover, the basic anti-Japanese areas were still being consolidated and expanded.
As soon as Wei Chunbo was mentioned, the "big man" of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and pseudo-traitors hated him to death and were terrified to death, and they also tried to co-opt and bribe him, but they wasted their efforts. One day, Zhu Lantian, a pseudo-police chief stationed at the Xingcheng Police Station, asked Zhang Zhang, the security chief of Xizhuang Village surnamed He, to a table of wine and invited Wei Chunbo to a banquet, saying that he "wanted to make a friend." Wei Chunbo knew that "there is no good wine and good feast on the golden beach." However, with his grasp and analysis of the situation, he expected that this person with the surname Zhu would not be able to help himself, so he took the personal guard to the meeting with a single knife. During the banquet, the governor of Wei County's wine cup was improper, his chopsticks were not moving, and his righteous spirit was awe-inspiring and anti-guest-oriented, and he sternly reprimanded and warned Yi tong surnamed Zhu with his sharp teeth: "You must not forget that you are still Chinese, you must clearly understand the situation, and you must not give your life to the devils with a dead heart." Remember, there is no good end to being a traitor! He finished his words and brushed his sleeves away, only to leave the pseudo-sheriff there. Afterwards, the United County Government executed this pseudo-baochang who had matched the enemy and the enemy on the basis of two pieces of evidence of embezzlement of the anti-coalition disaster relief funds and the information for the enemy, which can also be regarded as a "tribute" to the Japanese and the pseudo.
When the Japanese pseudo-persuasion failed, they installed their eyes and ears, painted pictures, and rewarded Wei Chunbo's head with heavy money, and continued to frantically hunt down and kill his relatives. On April 17, 1940, Wei Chunbo's eldest brother, Wei Changsheng, a traffic officer of the county government, did not have long to return home, and he was surrounded in the village by the Japanese puppet army that smelled the wind. The 59-year-old communist party member was unable to break through and died heroically. Wei Changsheng, the old Yue, had studied private school, took agriculture as his profession, and was diligent and thrifty. After joining the revolution with his second brother, he worked as a guard for several years and never made a mistake. In 1935, he was kidnapped by patrol officers for seven or eight days, but he refused to admit that he was a "bandit", let alone a "bandit". The old man put the overall situation of the revolution first, accepted the reality of the second brother's great righteousness and annihilation of his relatives, and supported the third son Shunxing, who had been wounded and disabled, to join the army for the second time and serve as a company instructor in the Twelfth Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Once, the old man encountered an enemy on the way to deliver the letter, ran along the mountain road, ran off his cotton shoes, and finally completed the task. This time he encountered the enemy again, but unfortunately he could not get out of danger, and the Japanese invaders owed the old Wei family a third blood debt. Wei Chunbo's sister-in-law missed her old partner and washed her face with tears. On April 29, Wei Shunlong, the eldest son who was the chief of the supply section in the military subdistrict, returned home to visit his mother, and was also surrounded by Japanese puppet troops in the village. During the breakout battle, he was shot several times and fell at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, not far from the place of his father's sacrifice. By all accounts, Wei Changsheng and Wei Shunlong's father and son sacrificed only 12 days before and after!
In less than a year and a half of bloody rain, the Japanese invaders took the lives of four relatives of Wei Chunbo's brothers, wives and nephews. What a heavy mental trauma and blow! Comrades all came to comfort Governor Wei. Wei Chunbo said bitterly, "Where in the dry revolution does it not sacrifice bloodshed?" The martyrs died gloriously and deservedly. This blood debt must be repaid by the devils and traitors! In order to avenge the death of his comrades-in-arms and relatives, Wei Chunbo carried the hatred of the country and the family, and decided to break the ship and fight the Japanese fascists to the end! He repeatedly encouraged his nephew Shunxing and his beloved daughter Shumin, who joined the army for the second time, to inherit the martyr's legacy, work well, and bravely kill the enemy. He himself was mysteriously interspersed in the cracks of the Japanese and puppet ruling territories, and was active in the anti-Japanese guerrilla base areas in the mountains. The more the struggle against the enemy reached a fever pitch, the more he fought side by side with the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. It is very unfortunate that this highly respected and long-working county magistrate, like his predecessors, shed the last drop of blood for the revolution less than 4 months after taking office.
It was June 7, 1940 (the second day of the fifth lunar month), and Wei Chunbo had finished his meeting in Xiaoliuzhuang, Fengrun County, at the northern foot of belt mountain. He was so tired that he only took a nap at the fort's house, so he got up early and took the guards and moved north. They climbed over a mountain beam and stopped in an orchard halfway up the mountainside of Wangzhuangzi Village in western Qian'an. Overlooking the bottom of the mountain, the house of the old sister Wei Caiyun's mother-in-law was still faintly visible. He could have gone down the hill to find a breakfast. However, instead of entering the village, they went into a shack watching the mountain to rest in hiding. Near noon, a group of Japanese puppet troops who came out of the Xinzhuangzi stronghold to "sweep" west rested halfway and placed machine gun guard posts in the west of Dongshan Liang. At this time, Wei Chunbo came out of the shack to breathe, and was found shaking in the distance by the enemy's sentry. Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire tore through the silence of the summer valley. The governor of Wei Chunbo County was unfortunately shot and sacrificed his life to martyr the country. Blood soaked the satchel on his back and stained the seal of the Union County Government red...
Yan Zhao is a generous and tragic man. In order to strive for the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation and the happiness of the people, Wei Chunbo destroyed his family to relieve difficulties, gave all his family property, and left him with nothing--if his family property still has any remains, it is two treasures: one is the anti-coalition armband treasured by his beloved daughter Wei Shumin; the other is a plate of stone mills left over from the enemy's fire for the common use of the villagers. In order to strive for the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation and the happiness of the people, he led the whole family to participate in the revolution, the former servants and successors, the dead brothers and the dead brothers, the dead wives and nephews, plus the martyr Wei Shunxing, who was persecuted to death by the class enemy in 1948, and sacrificed the precious lives of five relatives.
From a cynical unjust prisoner to an anti-Japanese hero with outstanding merits, Wei Chunbo has walked through a revolutionary life of recovering old things. With the spirit of generous sacrifice of destroying the family and relieving difficulties, he interpreted the fundamental purpose of the Chinese Communists to serve the people wholeheartedly and completely and completely, and the heroic spirit of indomitable and heroic struggle. He was extremely loyal to the party and the people, had the courage to take responsibility for the revolutionary cause, only sought dedication and did not seek to take, and strictly disciplined himself and destroyed his relatives. These political qualities, which constitute the strong cohesion and combat effectiveness of the CPC, form a sharp contrast and fundamental opposition to the remnants of feudal and corrupt ideologies in the party that "want to become a high official and want to make a fortune."
In November of the same year after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in order to comfort Wei Chunbo and other martyrs, the cadres and masses of the Jidong Liberated Area held a solemn memorial meeting in Xizhuang Village, and Li Yunchang and five other party, government, and army leaders sent the first link at the beginning of this article. With deep feelings of remembrance, the cadres and masses of the Liberated Areas moved the coffins of the martyrs who had been temporarily stored in the original residence of the Wei family into the ancestral graves. In 1958, the loyal bones of the six martyrs were moved to the Jidong Martyrs' Cemetery and buried collectively. In 1988, the CPC Qianxi County Party Committee and the county people's government built the "Wei Chunbo Martyrs Memorial Hall". Comrade Li Yunchang, who was then a member of the Central Advisory Committee, passionately inked and inscribed the title and inscription of the museum, highly praised Comrade Wei Chunbo as "a loyal fighter and the backbone of the revolution," and highly praised his family as a "revolutionary home" full of loyal martyrs.
Wei Chunbo and his brothers, wives and nephews and six martyrs lived forever!
