The previous article introduced the ideas and suggestions for building Xinghua Village and Feng Haogou Site Park.
Next, let's talk about the ideas and suggestions for further extending and improving the cultural tourism industry chain in the Xinghua Village scenic area, adding materials to the Xinghua scenic area, creating a red revolution base, and building an exhibition hall for the Japanese invasion of Fen.
(6) Build a memorial hall for the Red Revolution Base Area: never forget the original intention, and learn from history. Inherit the red gene, sing the red main melody, and create a red tourist attraction.
Dig deep into revolutionary historical materials, collect cultural relics, and at the same time use landscapes, cultural relics, collections, or high-tech means such as sound and optoelectronics, three-dimensional animation, video playback, electronic interaction and other high-tech means to show visitors the heroic deeds of those war years in a variety of ways.
In Fenyang Xinghua Village, Yudao Riverside Mountain Area Slope, Longwan, Shilao and other villages, many villages were once red bases during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.
As a result, many stories of the Red Revolution have been left in the local area.
Like what; In 1939, at the age of 18, Hua Guofeng served as a special commissioner of the Fenyang County Sacrifice League Association in the eighth special district of the Jinsuibian District of the Anti-Japanese Base Area, and carried out anti-Japanese guerrilla work in the areas of Yudaohe, Kaiyuanzhuang, and Aopo in Fenyang (Note 1).
In February 1949, Hua Guofeng and Han Zhijun took a wedding photo
the Red Revolution Base of the "Qihong Company"; It was the seat of the Fenyang Anti-Japanese Democratic County Government for ten years.
The seat of the Fenyang Anti-Japanese Democratic Government
A few days after the conclusion of the Seventh CPC National Congress in 1945, the troops of the First Brigade and the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army escorted the party, government, and army cadres who had advanced behind enemy lines from Yan'an.
Sketch of the battle of Ao Po
During the battle, the 8th Company of the 1st Police Regiment fought the heaviest battle, with company commander Cao Qihong and instructor Liu Youmin martyring, and 14 soldiers buried in the hot land of Aopo. After the war, in order to commend the heroic achievements of the commanders and fighters of the 8th Company, the 1st Garrison Brigade was named after Cao Qihong, the commander of the company, and awarded the honorary title of "Qihong Company" of the 8th Company of the 1st Police Regiment. After that, the people of Ao Po Village renamed Ao Zipo, the main battlefield of the Eighth Company, "Qihong Po".
Inscription in the Qihongpo Martyrs' Cemetery
Below is the former site of the old Eighth Route Army command organ of Xinghuashi;
The former site of the command organ of the Shilao Eighth Route Army
The former site of the command office of the Shilao Eighth Route Army is located in the east of Shilaocun Village, Xinghuacun Town, Fenyang City. According to the records of "The Vicissitudes of Fenzhou", from the late thirties to the mid-forties of last century, anti-Japanese armed forces such as the Eighth Sub-district of Jinsui, the 12th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the County Brigade, and the Old Sixth Regiment were stationed or haunted in Shilao Village for a long time. He Long and Wang Zhen, senior leaders of the Eighth Route Army, also lived here. In the eastern part of the village, there are three courtyards where the command organ of the Eighth Route Army was stationed. The three courtyards (hereinafter referred to as No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3) are arranged from north to south, all sitting east and west. There are three-hole caves in courtyard 1, and four-hole caves in courtyard 2 and 3. The caves are excavated into earthen cliffs. The cave is basically intact, most of the courtyard walls and courtyard doors have collapsed, and only the No. 2 courtyard gate is relatively intact.
According to the records of the relevant departments; On the afternoon of December 6, 1943, Commander Wang Zhen held a mobilization meeting for the southbound detachment to pass through the Jinzhong Plain in Yanjiazhuang, a border mountain in Fenyang. Commander Wang Zhen said; Tonight, we will set out from Yanjiazhuang, pass through the villages around Shilao, Longwan, Qipo, and Chijiazhuang in Fenyang, rush through the five blockades of the plain, pass through the densely packed and dotted pillboxes, look for gaps in these bunker groups, march more than 100 miles overnight, cross the Fenhe River, cross the Tongpu Railway, only pass the pass, do not kill the generals, and unknowingly pass through the Jinzhong Plain.
The above are several red revolution information, in order to cooperate with the development of diversified tourism in Xinghua Village scenic spots, it is necessary to build the above-mentioned red revolution bases into scenic red cultural tourism bases.
(7) Build an exhibition hall for the Japanese invasion of Fen; The intention is to review history, keep in mind the blood and tears of the Japanese aggressors who invaded China, draw on historical experience, spur and inspire us to open up the future, unite and struggle, and realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Digging deep into historical data, collecting physical and other information, but also using landscapes, cultural relics, collections, or high-tech such as sound and optoelectronics, three-dimensional animation, video playback, electronic interaction and other high-tech as means, multimedia interpretation to show visitors the horrific tragic cases of the Japanese invaders. Don't forget the history and look to the future.
On February 17, 1938, the Japanese army occupied Fenyang City. Our army and people shared the same hatred of the enemy, and with the heroic courage of "preferring death to death rather than slaves to the country," we waged a decisive and protracted struggle against the Japanese aggressors. The arrogant and brutal Japanese invaders invaded Fenfen during the eight years. In order to extinguish the anti-Japanese fire ignited by our army and people, they have successively created many horrific tragedies and committed unforgivable crimes. The following is a list of several relatively large tragedies caused by the Japanese army in Fen.
Renyan Village Massacre (also known as the Eating Oil Cake Tragedy): Renyan Village belongs to the Jicun Town of Fenyang City, and since February 1941, Shi Shangbao, director of the "Annihilation Communists" of the Japanese military police who invaded Fenyang, sent people to Renyan Village to visit the village chiefs, village deputy and Lu chiefs of Renyan, Ji Village, Luocheng, Xiaoxiang and other villages (Note: In the Republic of China, there were 5 levels of administrative officials from top to bottom: county head, district chief, village chief, Lu chief, and neighbor chief. 5 households are 1 neighbor, 5 neighbors are 1 lu, that is, there is one lu chief, and the lu chief during the Anti-Japanese War is equivalent to the current village group leader. ), teachers and other patriots collected and tested the words and deeds, and created the "Renyan Village Massacre".
At the end of the ninth lunar month in 1941, the Japanese military police that invaded Fenyang gathered 142 villagers and teachers from the five districts to Renyan in the name of holding a meeting, and set up more than a dozen tables of wine banquets and oil cakes in the compound of Xingguo Temple to invite the people to eat. Kawabata, the commander of the Japanese military police, said: "Eat and drink!" While eating and drinking, Yanagida, the "instructor" of the fifth district, suddenly shouted, asked everyone to stand up, and said in a fierce voice: "You people are all communists, and you want to kill the head." Immediately picked up a check-in book and rolled out, and none of the attendees were spared, all of them were tied. The next day, he was sent to Fenyang City. They were detained in the examination court and the Niujia compound on Fuxue Street, and tortured. Zhao Chengen of Dongsi Village was beaten by the Japanese army with a "heart change stick" and died on the spot. Ma Wenjiong, a teacher of the Yin Family Society, was poured with kerosene and burned, and the burnt skin and flesh bloomed. The Japanese also tied people up, poured boiling water into their mouths, and pierced their wrists with awls ... All kinds of torture torture torture people to death.
By February 1942, the gendarmerie had begun a massacre of all those arrested. On the night of the 13th, Wang Weishan of Ji Village was killed at Zhuanghua Bridge. On the night of the 14th, another 19 people were stabbed to death with bayonets by Paula Ishigami, the head of the special high class, near the village of Wadi. On the 19th, Shi Shangbao once again pulled the arrested people to the area of Baishi to be brutally killed. Fan Shengyuan of Luocheng, Liu Gengku of Renyan, Guo Fengen of Aizi, and 28 other people identified by the Japanese army were taken to Taiyuan. A further 19 people were killed during the interrogation.
So far, a total of 41 people have been killed, 12 have died in prison, and 2 have escaped. The remaining 87 were detained for three months and fined 100 yuan after being tortured to extract confessions. The rest were beaten and bruised. More than a dozen of them were tortured to death. People call this tragedy the "oil cake eating case".
On November 11, the puppet district office issued a notice to the villages in accordance with the arrangement of the Japanese army, asking the village chiefs, village deputies, Lu chiefs, clerical staff, instructors, and some literate villagers to go to Renyan Village for seven days of training on the 12th. As soon as the trainees report for duty, their identity cards are confiscated. On the same day, when the Japanese army called a meeting of the trainees, Xu Zisheng in plainclothes announced the "letter of denunciation" in public: Cao Shiren, the head of Ji Village, Wang Dianyu, principal of the Jicun School, Fan Shengyuan, the head of Luocheng Village, Li Yutang, the head of Renyan Village, Guo Fengen, the head of Aizi Village, Ma Guiwen, a female teacher in Peihui Town, and Wang Weisan, the mayor of the fifth district, were immediately arrested and interrogated overnight, and subjected to all kinds of torture. In the days that followed, people were repeatedly beaten and verbally abused.
On the morning of the 16th, Yanagida, commander of the 5th District of the Japanese Army, informed the trainees to treat guests to dinner in the afternoon. During the banquet, the Japanese army Chuan Yan and Yanagida viciously took out a "whistleblower list", and everyone who read the name changed from "sitting on the guest" to "prisoner under the steps" in a blink of an eye, and was locked up in the main hall of the Iron Buddha Temple. At night, the Japanese army arrested a group of people from Peihui Town, Dijiasha and other villages and imprisoned them elsewhere, including women with children.
Until January 1942, the Japanese army successively dealt with those arrested, dealing with four situations: First, those who were listed as the so-called "leading members of the Communist Party". For example, Liu Gengyou, Wang Dianyu, Guo Fengen, Fan Shengyuan, Wang Weisan and other 23 people were escorted to Taiyuan, and 19 of these people were brutally killed. Second, nearly 70 people were killed on the spot in Fenyang. The scene of the murder was outside the west gate of the county seat, Waohe, Baishi Village, Hongnanshe Village and other places. Most were killed with bayonets, and corpses were everywhere at the time. 3. Those sentenced to one to three months in prison and 30 to 100 yuan in counterfeit banknotes at the end of the sentence, many people died in detention centers under torture. Some survived, but because of the torture, they were emaciated and died soon after returning home. In this incident, more than 160 Chinese villagers and cadres died at the hands of the Japanese army.
In May 1995, the "Monument to the Teachers Killed in the Renyan Massacre" was established in Renyan Central Primary School, and in June 2002, it was identified as the third batch of key cultural relics protection units in Fenyang City.
the Nanmazhuang massacre; Nanmazhuang Village belongs to Sanquan Town, Fenyang City, which is the famous cradle of revolution in our city and the hometown of General Xu Zhifen, the founding major general. In 1937, when the Fenyang County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China was restored and rebuilt, it was stationed in Nanmazhuang Village, and since then, the anti-Japanese organization "Sacrifice National Salvation League Association" has also been stationed in Nanmazhuang, leading the people of Fenyang to carry out a difficult anti-Japanese struggle.
The former site of the "Nanmazhuang Massacre"
On August 2, 1938, the Japanese invaders caused the horrific "Nanmazhuang Massacre" in the village.
In the history of Fenyang's War of Resistance, the Nanmazhuang Massacre is the most typical and particularly prominent. In July 1938, the CPC Fenyang County Party Committee, the County League Association, the Field General Mobilization Committee and an outpost company of the 686th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army were stationed in Nanmazhuang.
At dawn on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Japanese army that had invaded Fenyang City suddenly attacked and surrounded Nanmazhuang from the east, west and north. The outpost company of the Eighth Route Army fought back, but because it was outnumbered, it insisted on withdrawing until breakfast. At about 8 o'clock, the Japanese army captured Nanmazhuang and searched door to door from east of the T-gate on East-West Street, killing people when they saw them. Six people, including villager Yan Luqian, were killed on the street. The Japanese army entered Shi Yongshun's house and killed 4 people including Shi and Chang Engineering Tianyou. Then entered Liu Longsheng's courtyard, beat Liu Xuezhu and Zhang Zhenrong to death, Zhang's wife was also killed by the Japanese army because of crying, villager Zhang Dafu saw the Japanese army stabbed, grabbed the bayonet with both hands, the Japanese army jerked his hand, the hand was pulled away, and then stabbed to death in a pool of blood. The Japanese raided and killed 18 people door-to-door. The Japanese invaders also tied up 18 people, dragged them to the hemp cave (puddle), and shot them with knives, staining the pit with blood. Among them, Zhang Daoyu was injured and did not die, but survived by luck, experiencing and witnessing this tragic situation. In the "July Seven" massacre, a total of 42 people died.
Since then, the anti-Japanese propaganda team has also adapted this tragedy into a folk song, exposing the bad deeds of the Japanese invasion of China and stimulating the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the masses:
At the beginning of July, the cannon sounded, and the ghost sneaked into Nanmazhuang.
Forty-two people were shot, and blood and tears flowed in the pit of hemp.
The former site of the Nanmazhuang Anti-Japanese Salvation Congress is located in Nanmazhuang Village, Sanquan Town, 17.5 kilometers southwest of Fenyang City, in the Shanyuan District at the junction of Fenyang and Xiaoyi.
In June 2002, it was identified as the third batch of key cultural relics protection units in Fenyang City. In October 2010, the village committee of the Nanmazhuang Village Branch erected a monument to repair the pavilion, and the inscription commemorated it.
the Potou massacre; Potou Village is located in the Bian Shan Gaoyuan area, 30 huali west of Fenyang City, the village is divided into old and new villages, during the Anti-Japanese War, the village has a total of more than 50 households.
On February 17, 1938 (the 18th day of the first lunar month), the Japanese invaded and occupied Fenyang City, and on February 20, the third day after the Japanese army invaded Fenyang, every family in Potou Village was preparing to celebrate the "Tian Cang Festival", wishing a full grain warehouse and a bumper harvest in the new year. But unexpectedly, on this day, the Japanese army invaded Potou, bringing disaster to the whole village and causing the masses to be looted in blood. Early that morning, the invading Japanese army dispatched 5600 cavalry, infantry, and artillery to attack west along Fengjiazhuang, Tiancun, and Songjiazhuang in an attempt to eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces stationed in the area of Potou. At noon, the Japanese army reached Potou. At this time, Yan Xishan's 18 defeated soldiers who retreated to Potou on a cart, one group played cards at Zhang Bucai's house, and the other group forced Meng Qingwei to make dumplings for them to eat.
After hearing the gunshots, the Japanese devils immediately surrounded the new village, and after a burst of gunfire, they saw that there was no movement in the village, so they rushed in, entering at every door, arresting people when they saw them, killing and setting fires, and doing all kinds of evil. Villager Chen Tianli was shot dead, and Chen's wife, who was pregnant and in labor, cursed the devil, and was picked by the Japanese army with bayonets from the corner of her mouth to her ears. Several devils surrounded the young farmer Zhang Qingyuan and took turns stabbing with bayonets. Zhang rolled on the ground in pain and screamed, and his wife's heart was like a knife, knowing that she could not be spared, that is, she took a kitchen knife to hack her child to death and committed suicide (later rescued but did not die).
The Japanese invaders became even more hostile to those who had served as soldiers, and Yao Dianyuan, who had participated in the anti-communist defense regiment, once wore a gun hole in his hand because of a gun fire, leaving scars after healing. After being caught by the Japanese invaders, he found that he had a gunshot wound on his hand, and determined that he had been a soldier, immediately stripped him naked, tied him to a pillar in the back yard of Xinzhai, stuck a burning wooden stick straight into his legs and lower abdomen, burned for a while, laughed for a while, tortured for a day, and then, dragged to the dirt field, cut off his head with a foreign knife to show the public.
The Japanese army invaded Potou and robbed 20 families and families in Xinzhai, and everyone suffered. At that time, 24 people were shot and burned to death in Potou Village, 12 people were stabbed to death with bayonets, and together with 4 relatives from other villages and 9 people who retired from Yan Jin's army, a total of 49 people.
The Japanese invaders stayed in Potou for two days, and the windows of more than 20 households in Xinzhai were burned down, pigs, sheep, and chickens were killed, more than 50 mules and donkeys were taken away, and more than 200 sheep were driven away.
the Ancient Pool Massacre; Shangguchi is a mountain village in the Taochuan River of Fenyang. During the Anti-Japanese War, this area used to be China's anti-Japanese base.
On January 6 (the first day of the lunar month), the Japanese army mobilized more than 1,000 infantry and cavalry from Fenyang, Wenshui, and Jiaocheng, and adopted a "separate attack and combined attack" and the so-called "grate comb sweep", such as tigers, leopards and jackals pounced on Toudaochuan, Japanese soldiers to the ancient pond of Toudaochuan, from the first to the fourth day of the first month, repeatedly "cleaned up" in the villages of Toudaochuan, and on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the Japanese invaders wrapped the 51 villagers captured in the "sweep" to Shangguchi, from which they pulled out the people of Shangguchi, Wu Renrong, Geng Yousheng and Wang Dachang, a resident of Jiaokou Village, led them and confined the others to a kiln in the village's Guo Ruhan courtyard.
In the early morning of the fifth day of the first month, the Japanese invaders ordered Wu Renrong, Geng Yousheng, and Wang Dachang to pile a large amount of wood-plank mountain firewood at the door of the kiln and house where the people were imprisoned, and then set it on fire. In an instant, the fire rushed into the kiln, and inside the room, the masses cried bitterly and cursed the devils, and the Japanese invaders became angry and angry, and spewed a barrel of poisonous gas into the fire, but 48 of my compatriots were burned alive, and their bodies were curled up one by one, and their faces were unrecognizable. Seven members of Guo Youyi's family (wife, mother-in-law, daughter, niece, third aunt, and third aunt's little girl) were burned to death. His daughter Guo Lanze rushed out of the kiln door when the Japanese invaders set fire to it, and was immediately stabbed to death with a bayonet by the devil.
The people killed in Shangguchi this time also included Guo Erming, Liu Denglai, Wu Qiba, Ma Sanze, Wu Qi'er, and Tang Qinghua's wife. The people killed in Tangyuan Village included Geng Wujin, Wu Si'er, and Li Taozhu. Among those killed in Jiaokou Village was Tian Yongsheng, the head of the children's group. The rest were captured during the "sweep" along the way, including a scout of our Eighth Route Army.
In the early morning of the fifth day of the first month, the Japanese invaders also set fire to the houses in the village, except for an earthen cave cave on the top of the slope where Du Xueyi was not burned, the remaining 125 houses were burned, even the Jade Emperor Temple and Guanyin Temple in the east of the village. The wives of Wu Zhenren and Zhang Wanrong, who were old and weak and sick and could not walk, were burned to death at home. The Japanese invaders also stabbed to death Wu Cuntang (nicknamed Tiger Brain) with bayonets in the mountains of the ancient pond, and Wang Ergou of Jilingdi Village. The Japanese invaders also slaughtered more than 20 ploughing cattle in the ancient pond, burned the people's grain, and looted all their belongings.
After the Japanese invaders killed and set fires, they evacuated Shangguchi on the morning of the fifth day of the first day and passed through Jiaokou Village to the area of Yaoshang Village in Jiaocheng. Wu Renrong, Geng Yousheng, and Wang Dachang, who were forced to lead the way to the Japanese army, took the opportunity to escape on the way and survived, and they witnessed the various atrocities of the Japanese invaders washing the ancient pond in blood.
After the Japanese invaders left, the people who had gone out to hide returned to the village, the village had burned to ruins, crows and wild mice pecked at the corpses in groups, and the miserable scenery everywhere, people wept silently and were filled with grief.
Subsequently, our anti-Japanese democratic government sent people to Shangguchi to carry out aftermath work. The bodies of the dead people were buried, but the masses could no longer live in the village, so they had to go to live in other villages with relatives and friends, and in the spring of the following year, our democratic government actively organized the masses who returned to the village one after another to carry out production and self-help and rebuild their homes. The broad masses of the people in Shangguchi were not intimidated by the "three lights" policy of exterminating humanity by the Japanese invaders, and everyone turned their grief into strength, united in hatred of the enemy, and continued to make many positive contributions to resisting the Japanese invaders and the consolidation and development of the base areas.
the Feng Family Mountain Bottom Massacre; The bottom of Fengjia Mountain, located next to the main peak of Lüliang Mountain, is a small mountain villa with more than 60 families and more than 200 people. The village may be small, but its strategic location is important.
In 1943, Fengjiashandi Village became an outpost of our Party and our army in carrying out anti-Japanese activities, and our troops were often stationed in the village. When the Japanese troops stationed in Fenjia learned that the village of Fengjiashandi had six detachments of the Eighth Route Army and some cadres of the county brigade, they immediately dispatched a brigade of men and horses to surround the village from Hougou Village on March 9 (the fourth day of the second lunar month).
After the battle began, because they were outnumbered, our army fought while protecting some of the masses from transferring, and in the process of withdrawing from the battle, more than 30 people took advantage of the gap to run towards the direction of Sangbend, and the Japanese invaders mistakenly believed that the direction in which these masses ran out was the direction in which our army withdrew, so they concentrated all their efforts on pursuit, arrested all these people, concentrated them on a large field in the village, and interrogated.
The mother of villager Feng Xueshan was among them, and the Japanese invaders pulled the child out of the hands of Xueshan's mother from the crowd, put a sharp knife against the child's belly, and forced his mother to say; "There are those of the Eighth Route Army", "There are those of the Communist Party", Xueshan's mother replied; "I don't know", the evil Japanese invaders stabbed the child in the abdomen three times, but the poor young child screamed and passed away. Seeing this, his mother was so bitter that she cried to death.
The ghost officer, who was embarrassed and angry, hit Xueshan's mother on the head with a gun and continued to ask about the situation of the communist Eighth Route Army, and the martyr's mother regarded death as if it were home, and was ready to fight with death, scolded the devils fiercely, and spat on the Japanese officers, and the angry and corrupt ghost stabbed his mother's chest with a bayonet stained with his son's blood. The Japanese devils were awe-inspiring and heroic to the people of Fengjiashan, afraid of death, but unwilling to give up. They frantically ordered to set up machine guns and aimed at the dozens of people who had been caught on the field and prepared to shoot, and at this moment, our militia comrade Hu Changfu stood up and shouted loudly at the enemy; "I am the Communist Party", "I am the Eighth Route Army", "They are ordinary people, you let them go, I will tell you where the Eighth Route Army lives", when the Japanese officer heard this, he waved his hand to signal not to shoot, and ran to Chang Fu and said: "Your big good man", and asked the masses to "open the way", and the people left the field and ran to the ravine, thinking about Chang Fu's safety in their hearts.
After the crowd dispersed, the field was silent, only the iron hooves of the Japanese army and the self-talk were heard. Comrade Hu Changfu, however, was calculating in his heart how to deal with the enemy, and after only a few minutes of this silence, the enemy began to interrogate him, first the Japanese officer extended a thumb and said; "Your big good person, just say where the Eighth Route Army and the Communist Party are, the golden ticket is big, and the beauty is big." Hu Changfu was still not angry, he calculated the time in his heart, first using the method of dragging to extend the time, and then using the method of circling, you say east, I say west, and estimated that the masses had gone far, so he said to the Japanese officers; "Taijun, the Eighth Route Army and the Communist Party are very powerful."
The Japanese officers said happily: "They are there," and Comrade Hu Changfu calmly replied: "The Eighth Route Army and the Communist Party are all in my heart."
When the Japanese invaders listened to Comrade Chang Fu's answer, they were so angry that they cried and laughed, and they cursed angrily and corruptly; "Yagaya Road! Bad brains, bad brains! And pointed a pistol at Chang Fu's head, threatening and saying: "Don't you say, die, die!" Chang Fu said with a relaxed demeanor: "I have said everything I have to say to you."
The Japanese officers showed the murderous faces of the aggressors and viciously shot Comrade Hu Changfu in the head.
After Comrade Hu Changfu fell, the enemy hysterically aimed its evil guns at the scattered masses and fired wildly; six people, including Hu Qiwu, Smelly Girl, and Shen Zhixiao (the names of the other three are unknown), were immediately shot and killed, and dozens of houses were set on fire.
Now, when the older people in the village talk about the masses of the people who brutally killed and burned the bottom of Fengjia Mountain by the Japanese invaders, they all shed tears and deeply remembered Comrade Hu Changfu, who heroically sacrificed his precious life for the masses of the people.
the Zhongzhuang massacre; From December 17 to 31, 1943 (the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month), the Japanese army that invaded Fenyang, Wenshui, Jiaocheng, and Liishi used the methods of "separate attacks and combined attacks" and "grate comb sweeps" to create a horrific tragedy in the administrative village of Chuanzhongzhuang in Sandaochuan, Fenyang, in which the Japanese invaders brutally killed 133 innocent people, burned 1,012 houses, stole 232 large livestock and 1,670 sheep, and looted every household in the Zhongzhuang area.
The Zhongzhuang Administrative Village under the leadership of our Party is located in the middle of Sandaochuan in Fenyang County, and has six natural villages under its jurisdiction: Lijiazhuang, Chengjiazhuang, Xiashe, Wenjiazhuang, Xiaobaigou and Zhongzhuang, with a length of about 30 huali from east to west. During the Anti-Japanese War, it belonged to the base area of the Eighth Route Army. The Jinsui Eighth Prefecture Party Committee, the Fenyang County Democratic Government, the Old Sixth Regiment, and the Hong Zhao Detachment were all stationed here. Therefore, the Japanese army hated it to the bone and always wanted to swallow it in one bite.
In the second half of the night of December 27, 1943, the Japanese troops stationed in Fenyang, Wenshui, Jiaocheng, and Liishi jointly dispatched to secretly enter Sandaochuan from Wucheng, Dongshe, and Jiaokou, and rushed to the villages of Zhongzhuang. They acted secretly, did not fire guns, and at night, the masses were unaware, and after the Japanese invaded the villages, they went door to door, arresting the masses, sweeping and looting. Those who cannot be caught today, hide their troops, and they will be arrested tomorrow. Everywhere he went, he brutally implemented the "three lights" policy.
For five days, more than 130 innocent people were arrested, imprisoned in Lijiazhuang, Wangjiasha and other villages, and then carried out bloody massacres; the Japanese invaders imprisoned 36 people in the two-eyed cave cave in the west ditch of Lijiazhuang, poured gasoline on their bodies and the pyre at the mouth of the cave, set them on fire, and burned them alive. Of the 41 people imprisoned in the Wang Family Society, 16 of whom were stabbed to death by the Japanese invaders on the platform of the back ditch, and 25 were tortured to half death during the trial, and then thrown into a yam egg cellar in the village, 23 people were stoned to death, Li Yueying and Li Yue'e, two little girls, pretending to be dead and escaping for their lives, survived. Of the more than 30 people imprisoned in Chengjiazhuang, 14 of them were hooped by the Japanese invaders under a stone wall that was about to collapse, pushed down the stone wall and crushed to death, and the rest were burned to death on mountain beams.
The Japanese invaders burned and looted, extremely cruel, grabbed the wife of villager Tian Youli, shoved a wooden stick into the pubic door and nailed her, grabbed a nine-year-old girl Li Yulian, and inserted a bayonet into the vagina to fatally. Many women were brutally killed after being forcibly gang-raped by the Japanese army, and several babies were torn in half by the Japanese army and thrown outside the village to feed wild dogs. After the Japanese invaders killed the people they captured, they drove away the cattle and sheep, slaughtered the chickens and pigs, looted all the property, and then set fire to all the houses.
The atrocities of the Japanese army did not frighten the masses of the people in the area of Zhongzhuang, on the contrary, they inspired bitter hatred against the Japanese aggressors, and during the difficult years of the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the masses of the people in the area of Zhongzhuang made powerful contributions to the development and consolidation of the anti-Japanese base areas of our party and our army and the elimination of the Japanese invaders.
Longwan massacre; ZHANG Xiaoqu CHEN Xiangping;
In the spring of 1938, after the Guerrilla Working Group of the War General Association and the Cultural and Communications Work Committee of the Communist Party of China stationed in the border mountain area in northern Fenyang, the area around Longwan became an area for the activities of the Fenbei Party organization. After the Great War of the Hundred Regiments, this area was classified by the Japanese invaders as a "bandit area" to implement the "three light" policy.
In the three years from the spring of 1940 to the end of 1942, Longwan Village was burned and looted 13 times by Japanese devils.
Among them, on December 16, 1940, the Japanese army killed 19 people (including 16 people in the village) in Longwan Village. In the early morning of that day, five or six hundred Japanese puppet troops stationed in Fenyang City and the strongholds of Luocheng and Renyan surrounded Longwan Village from the east, west, and south. More than 20 guerrillas living in the village immediately went into battle, and in the face of the disparity, the guerrillas retreated to the back mountain north of the village, and during the breakthrough, Cai Weiquan, head of the construction section of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Fenyang County, was shot and killed.
After the Japanese army entered the village, they could not catch the anti-Japanese cadres and guerrillas, so they committed violence against the unarmed masses. Ren Changji was stabbed in a pool of blood for preventing the Japanese from taking away the cattle, and the wife was pushed down and burned alive in the fire along with her 4-year-old son in her arms when she prevented the Japanese army from burning the cave. Seeing this, Renchangji's mother-in-law cried and cursed, and was shot down by a Japanese devil. Mu Quanchun's grandfather was detained by the Japanese army under a large iron pot, piled with dry firewood around him, poured gasoline and set on fire, and the "seven-foot tall" (nickname) old man was burned into a small pile of charcoal. Zhang Kaitai was caught by the ditch in the village, the Japanese devils smiled and asked him if he had ever taken a plane, Zhang answered no, and the four Japanese devils lifted him up and threw him into a deep ditch of tens of meters and fell into mashed meat. After hearing the gunshots, Wen Changzi ran outside the village wearing a quilt and sheep felt, and was killed by Japanese machine guns, Wu Shichang's mother was thrown into a water cellar and drowned, and Mu Yingfeng and three villagers from other villages were cut off their heads by the Japanese invaders.
In this tragedy, Wu Changyao's father, Wu Changqing's father, Mu Chunrui's father, Li Yubin's brother and Mu Chunxiu were also killed and burned to death. Among those who were severely beaten were Wu Changsheng and his wife, Zhang Wanli, Zhang Lizhi, etc., who were covered by the guerrillas, and the women who were raped by the Japanese army were counted, Mu Xinxin's father was already in a coffin to be buried, and the Japanese devils poured gasoline on the coffin and burned the cave to ashes. The Japanese army also trapped a dozen people into a cave in Zhang Ruxiang's house, piled firewood outside and set it on fire, the young woman Zhang Shuzhen kicked open the window and ran out, and the rest of the masses took advantage of the Japanese invaders to chase Zhang Shuzhen and rushed out of the kiln door to escape and escape.
In this case, all 108 caves, more than 150 houses and livestock sheds, and 7 temples in Longwan Village were burned down, and the Japanese invaders burned 200 sheep and more than a dozen pigs, and stole more than 60 large livestock. After the remnants occurred, the CPC Fenyang County Party Committee and the Fenyang County Anti-Japanese Democratic Government organized personnel to transport grain, clothing and other daily and production supplies to Longwan Village to help the people rebuild their homes. After the baptism of blood and fire, the hearts of the people of Longwan became closer to the Communist Party, and young and middle-aged people joined guerrilla and militia self-defense groups one after another, dug tunnels, built mines, and cleared the wilderness with strong walls, and launched an indomitable struggle against the Japanese invaders, until the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
the "Four Three" massacre in Xiaoxiang Village;
In 1945, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of counteroffensive, and our army launched a democratic attack, and the Japanese puppet army suffered serious blows and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the retaliation of the Japanese invaders against our military and civilians was even more cruel.
On May 14 (the 3rd day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar), the Japanese puppet army suddenly surrounded Xiaoxiang Village, and just after dawn in the east, villager Hou Shoujiang rushed out to cultivate the land, was captured by the Japanese army, and was beaten half to death. At this time, the Japanese army went door to door, forcing the villagers to go to the aunt's courtyard for a meeting, and at about 11 o'clock in the afternoon, after the whole village was forced to arrive, the Japanese captain began to speak, and then handed a list to the translator, who called the name of each militiaman according to the list. After the reading, the Japanese invaders took 7 families of militiamen who had time to transfer in the future; Yan Huanyin, Cao Liandeng, Han Erqing, Wu Tingfu, Wang Fengchi, Wang Mingshan's mother, and Ren Guocai's father, were escorted to the crowd. The devil asked their son what he did? Everyone replied in unison: "The branch is gone."
The Japanese devils had no choice, so they painted circles with white powder on each of the seven militia family members and pushed them into a large earthen pit with dug tree roots (among them, Ren Guocai's father took advantage of the devil's inattention to wipe off the white circles on his head with his sleeve to avoid being mutilated). The ghost forced some of the people to go to these seven homes, moved all the wooden furniture to the temple of the aunt, and swept the rest of the things out. For example, Han Erqing's noodles that had been grinding for three days were all poured on the street, and pots and pots were smashed. The wooden furniture moved to the temple was set on fire, and the fire in the sky caused the fire to be seen in Zhuangshang Village and Shilao Village in the north of the village, and Zhongzhai Village and Mazhai Village in the south of the village. After the fire burned, the devils threw all the pigs, sheep, and dogs of each family into the fire pit, and the laughter of the devils, the cry of the masses, and the cries of pigs and sheep were chaotic, so it was not miserable....
At the same time, the ghost escorted the family members of the six militiamen to an open space in front of Temple Street, lined them up, and fired criminal bullets at them, and the five comrades were killed on the spot, and Yan Huanyin died the next day due to excessive bleeding. Li Gao, the mayor of the sixth district, died soon after in Xiaoxiangzhai Village due to his injuries.
The above information is from the sixth series of Fenyang literary and historical materials;
There are many more cases in Fenyang; Friend Shan narrated for Shi Jun: Brother Shiwei, I saw you post in the circle of friends, I know some things to tell the brother.
Japanese devils killed eight Taoist priests in the temple of Fenyang Shentou Temple.
The Japanese devils learned that the temple was the traffic liaison station of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese devils swept and searched the mountains, entered the temple to inquire about the news of the eighth road, and the Japanese devils used Japanese and gestures to test the work of the eight Geya Road after entering the temple. The Taoist priest thought that saying that their eight roads were eight people meant, the Taoist priest nodded, and waited for the gesture of eight to say eight people, it was exactly eight people at that time, the Japanese devils said all the eight roads, the Taoist priests said all the same, and the eight Taoist priests died inexplicably under the machine robbery and strafing of the Japanese devils.
In fact, there was an abbot, a senior monk, who predicted that they would be in trouble a few days earlier. Saying to the eight Taoist priests that we have a difficult situation coming, we want to go out of the temple and hide, and these eight Taoist priests do not believe that what Uncle Gao said is true. Eight of them died tragically under the guns of Japanese devils without leaving, one of whom was my second uncle Xie Youhuai.
So since I was a child, I heard my father say that my second uncle was killed and mutilated by a Japanese devil. The crimes committed by Japanese devils in Fenyang can never be forgotten.
Now the temple of Shentou records the names of eight Daoist priests, only saying the names of the priests and not the names.
Mention the Yudao River Shentou Temple. In fact, after the Japanese devil machine gun shot the eight Taoist priests, a fire burned down the temple. This burned down the contact point of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the Japanese devils practiced the three-light policy, and on one occasion, the Japanese devils searched the mountains and burned down part of the caves and many courtyards in Shangjinzhuang Village, and also burned to death many villagers who were wronged.
The crimes committed by Japanese devils in Fenyang will always be remembered.
There are many more cases in Fenyang; The remnants of Renyan eating oil cakes killed many anti-Japanese progressives.
In the Madi Village case in Luocheng Village, the anti-Japanese heroes were surrounded and mutilated by Japanese devils due to the betrayal of the traitors, and then set fire to the cave where they were hiding.
Luocheng Village 307 Highway 100 kilometers of the remnant case, when the Eighth Route Army ambushed 100 kilometers of Highway 307 to blow up the Japanese devils from the Renyan stronghold to reinforce the Japanese resident army in Fenyang County, was told by the traitors, the Japanese devils first transferred cavalry from the north of the highway to outflank the ambushed Eighth Route Army, outflanking and killing all 17 people, the youngest Eighth Route Army was only 16 years old.
(Note 1) Hua Guofeng in Fenyang; In January 1939, Hua Guofeng, Zhang Zhixian, Chen Juhe, and Li Guangqian, sent special commissioners from the Taiyuan Central District of the Shanxi League General Association to Fenbei and established the Fenbei County Branch of the Sacrifice League, with Hua Guofeng as the secretary of the branch, and the branch address was in Qipo Village. Although Hua Guofeng has only been in Fenzhou for a short period of four months, his footprints have traveled to every mountain villa in the northern mountains of Fenyang, and he has preached the anti-Japanese principle while eating, living, and working with the masses; rectify mass anti-Japanese organizations at all levels, such as the Farmers' Rescue Association, the Youth Rescue Association, and the Women's Rescue Association; Mobilize the masses to hoard public grain to support the troops, and clear the field to prevent the enemy from sweeping up; The Self-Defense Forces were formed, and the local law made mines, and once led the Self-Defense Forces members to set up a mine array at the east entrance of Kaiyuanzhuang Village, and blew up the Japanese puppet army stationed in Luocheng stronghold in the border mountains to loot the people's property. The deepest impression of the masses was that one day in mid-March 1939, Hua Guofeng and others organized more than 200 self-defense forces from various villages in the border mountains to destroy the 2-kilometer-long Taifen Highway in the Luocheng section at night, and cooperated with the security detachment to fight a beautiful ambush battle. On March 25, Hua Guofeng and four others were appointed by the central area of Taiyuan to participate in the Qiulin Conference, and have since been transferred from Fenyang.
