Rong Ma Guanshan Red Fourth Front Army Battle Record (2) transferred to Mulan Mountain

The first workers' and peasants' main regime in the border area of Eyu-Anhui collapsed in a pool of blood, and thousands of party members and masses, including Wang Zhiren, secretary of the Huang'an County CPC Committee, cai Jihuan, secretary of the Macheng County CPC Committee, and others, were killed. The first revolutionary army in the border area of Eyu-Anhui was reborn from the ashes.

In late December, Wu Guanghao, Dai Kemin, Cao Xuekai, Dai Jiying, and other leaders held a meeting in huang'anmu city wall, and unanimously agreed that the eastern Hubei army could not stay in the central area (that is, Qili, Ziyun, Chengma, and Shunhe) and should make this circle and lead the enemy away. The meeting decided to leave one of the existing armed forces and cadres in the local area to persist in the struggle, and most of them were transferred to the area around The Mulan Mountains in Huangpi for guerrilla warfare.

After the meeting, the remaining 72 officers and men of the Edong Army, carrying 42 long guns and 11 short guns, dressed in the uniforms of the Kuomintang army, marched day and night.

On the 29th, it reached Mulan Mountain in the north of Huangpi County.

Mulan Mountain is 545 meters above sea level, with a radius of 60 to 70 miles, and the terrain is dangerous. It is the center of Taoist and Buddhist activities in Hubei throughout the ages

One of them, there are more than 100 monks, nuns, and Taoists on the mountain, and the construction area of various religions is more than 30,000 square meters. The bottom of the mountain is densely populated and rich in products.

On the third day after the Edong Army ascended the mountain, it was reorganized into the 7th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army according to the instructions of its superiors, with 3 teams under its jurisdiction, each

The team consisted of more than 20 people. Wu Guanghao was the commander of the army, Dai Kemin was the party representative, and Wang Dianchuan was the chief of staff.

The CCP has a certain strength and mass base in the Mulan Mountain area. Wu Guanghao's home was in Wujiawan, a river on the eastern side of the mountain, and he persuaded the abbot on the mountain to agree to the troops to enter the Renzhong Temple in Guanyingou. There was a long-bearded "Daoist" named Wan Shaoshu in the Jade Emperor's Pavilion, who was actually an underground party worker, and he organized some monks and nuns to help the 7th Army. Meetings of the 7th Army are generally held at night, taking turns in the three larger temples of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Prayer Shrine Pavilion, and the Lei Zu Hall. Officers and men sometimes disguised themselves as monks chanting in the temple and successfully evaded the enemy's pursuit.

The 7th Army put forward the slogan of "resisting rent, grain, tax, donation, and debt," and divided the troops down the mountain to pay (demand) money to the local tycoons, open warehouses and distribute grain, and provide relief to the poor.

The 7th Army sent 2,000 yuan to Luo Shengyuan and Luo Anyuan, the big bully landlords of Luojiagang, but the Luo brothers thought that they had the Kuomintang garrison in the county town as a backer, but they refused. As the troops were preparing to attack, the provincial party committee issued an order: On January 18, 1928, a surprise attack on the Hengdian Railway Station was carried out at night, cutting off the traffic of the Beijing-Hankou Railway to cooperate with the armed uprising in Wuhan.

The party committee of the 7th Army held an emergency meeting, and the cadres attending the meeting unanimously held that the Hengdian Railway Station on the Beijing-Hankou Line is a key point of communication that the enemy has been holding for a long time, equipped with the strength of a regular regiment, and has better weapons, equipment, and defensive facilities. If we mechanically carry out the orders of the provincial party committee and use seventy-two people to fight the enemy to the death, it will be difficult to conquer the Hengdian Railway Station, which will not be conducive to the preservation and development of revolutionary forces. And Luojiagang, which we were preparing to attack, was a village guarded by the landlords' armed forces. He claimed to be a man of many men and horses, but in fact there were only twenty or thirty men and guns. Wei Yisan, who was regarded as a patron by him, was only to strengthen his might and bluff, that is, we really attacked Luo Jiagang, and Wei Yisan would not immediately send troops to rescue.

The party committee decided to divide the troops, one to Go to Changxuanling, and destroy the transportation facilities to Wuhan; The other attacked the Luo family compound. On the evening of January 22, 28, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Guanghao led more than 20 fighters of the 3rd Team to brave the wind and snow and enter Luojiagang, southeast of Mulan Mountain. The Luo family's post is on the ground between two hills and hills, and the Luo family's pawnshop and oil house are on the left side of the punch, surrounded by a high stone wall, and there are two turrets on the north and south sides.

According to local customs, every family must "travel" Chinese New Year's Eve night, that is, set off firecrackers to go out of the door, ask the bodhisattva, ask the god of wealth, bless the coming year with smooth winds and rains, abundant grain, avoid disasters and diseases, and prosper people and livestock. The 7th Army hid near the Luojia Gate, waiting for it to "travel" and take the opportunity to attack. The officers and men were covered in snow, frozen and shivering, still fully engrossed.

Suddenly, a few flashes of light flashed on the turret, followed by the sound of firecrackers. The officers and men, enraged by the cunning Roche brothers, shot at the turret. Because the courtyard wall was relatively strong, the attack was blocked. The 7th Army took up the fire attack, threw torches on the roof of the oil house, and the flames soared.

The people of the Luo family panicked, threw down a few guns, and asked for peace, asking the 7th Army to retreat 5 miles. Wu Guanghao saw that the sky was already bright, and considering that if the battle was not resolved, the enemy in other places would come to reinforcements, and ordered the troops to retreat first. The people of the Luo family took the opportunity to run some, and the 7th Army returned to occupy the Luo family. The troops suffered no casualties, captured 19 spears, and won the first victory after the defeat of the jute uprising.

On the 23rd, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the 7th Army opened the Pawnshop and Granary of the Luo Family to entertain the poor and poor, and within 3 days thousands of people came to collect and distribute grain. An old farmer with white hair grabbed the hand of Chen Zaidao (General), the leader of the 7th Army, and said excitedly: "I have lived a lifetime, and I have lived a comfortable and happy year!" The "feast" of the poor alarmed the government.

On the 26th, 1 regiment of the Nationalist 12th Army attacked Mulan Mountain. When the 7th Army assembled to prepare to move, Wu Guanghao summoned Chen Zaidao to the house, pointed to a bag, and said, "Carry these five hundred pieces of Guangyang." Although your body is a little thinner, I still give it to you, and I believe you can complete the task. "Okay, I can move my back." Chen Zai replied happily. As soon as the troops set out, the enemy caught up with them. Running and running, Chen Zaidao felt that the money bag on his back was getting heavier and heavier, he was sweating profusely, panting, his legs were trembling, and he involuntarily fell behind.

Behind him, the enemy's shouts were getting closer and closer: "Stop, you can't run!" "Come, give him a shot," "No, catch it alive!" "Well, see where you're going?" “......”

Chen Zaidao was in a hurry, ran to the lake under the mountain, looked at the terrain and direction, pretended to fall, threw the money bag into the lake, and then hid in a dense forest. The enemy could not find him and returned without success.

After the enemy left, Chen Zaidao led people into the water to fish out their money bags, and there were a lot of money. The person who originally carried the funds became a deserter, and after consideration, the leader decided that Chen Zaidao would be responsible. This choice was correct, and Chen Zaidao did not fail in his mission.

On the 27th, the 7th Army met the Huanggang County Party Committee and the 6th Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army under its leadership at Daze Mountain, north of Huanggang. The 6th Army had more than 40 men and more than 30 long and short guns.

One night, Zheng Qiyu, a militia group in Macheng, surrounded Jinji'ao. From here, the 7th Army had moved to the Dragon King Temple at the top of Osaki Mountain, and the empty vigilante group was so angry that they let out their guns. The 6th Army sentry at the top of the hill was inexperienced and returned fire, attracting the enemy. The officers and men of the 7th Army jumped up from the bunk, broke out of the window, grabbed kudzu vine and slid down the cliff, escaping from behind the mountain.

The 7th Army bid farewell to the 6th Army and marched east to Sanlifa in Luotian County. One day in early February, when Chen Zaidao was returning from the street to his station, a familiar voice shouted behind him: "Change rice, change rice!" Chen Zaidao looked back and saw a "rice changer" person, "only to see that he was wearing a broken hat on his head, covering half of his face; Wearing a small cotton jacket of green cloth, a hemp rope is tied around the waist; Shoulder a pair of bamboo baskets containing miscellaneous things. Chen Zaidao looked closer and couldn't help but exclaim, "Comrade Wang Shusheng, where are you from?" Wang Shusheng was surprised, his eyes widened, he clasped the hands of his comrades-in-arms, and described his sorrows.

Wang Shusheng, deputy commander of the 2nd Road of the Eastern Hubei Army, led a guerrilla detachment to operate in the northern part of jute. One day, Wang Shusheng was surrounded by enemies on Ten Mile Street. In order to protect him, Zhou Da Niang brought her son Zheng Dao to the enemy, saying that it was Wang Shusheng. The enemy believed it to be true, and the political path was killed.

Wang Shusheng will never forget the dry lady with the virtue of regeneration.
