A communist was arrested and "confessed." With four hundred bullets hidden on the cliff, he escaped with a meter. Salvation. There are many such heroes in our party and our army. Some of them are brave and good at fighting, and some are lurking behind enemy lines. In the Yimeng area, the old revolutionary area, there is such a hero. He participated in the revolution since childhood and took the initiative to organize anti-Japanese rescue activities. He is Geng Qiming.
Yimeng Old District is a place where heroes have emerged since ancient times. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the people of the old area of Yimeng actively resisted Japan, actively supported our party and our army, and made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. Geng Qiming was born in the hero's hometown.
Geng Qiming came from a poor peasant family and did not receive a good education, but his thinking was extremely progressive. When he was a teenager, because his family was poor, he worked in the landlord's house and was bullied. Therefore, when he grew up, he devoted himself to the revolutionary cause of saving the poor without hesitation.
Later, under the arrangement of his family, he worked as an apprentice in a butcher shop and quickly saved a sum of money. He then began working underground as a businessman, reporting on the activities of farmers' associations. During this period, due to his excellent performance, he managed to become a member of the Communist Party. Subsequently, under the cover of being a pharmacy clerk, he secretly set up a party branch and quickly recruited party members. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, as a member of the Yishui County CPC Committee, he actively carried out anti-Japanese actions and immediately formed a guerrilla detachment, effectively organizing the Japanese army's military operations in Shandong.
When the War of Resistance was in full swing, Geng Qiming was ordered to go to the three districts of Yishui to carry out military activities. However, he did not expect that he was attacked by Kuomintang troops on the way. Although he fought back, he was outnumbered, and Geng Qiming was eventually captured.
The Kuomintang troops who ambushed Geng Qiming were ostensibly pretending to resist Japan, but in fact they were pretending to resist Japan. They existed to stop the military operations of the communist army in the Yimeng region and to secretly arrest the communists. They colluded with the Japanese invaders, and many communists died at their hands.
The Kuomintang troops were very happy to capture the Communists, and some of the soldiers recognized Geng Qiming as a high-ranking cadre of the Yishui anti-Japanese guerrilla group, so they immediately decided to escort Geng Qiming back to the city. Prepare to secretly hand over Geng Qiming to the Japanese in exchange for huge financial rewards.
During the escort, the enemy questioned Geng Qiming. At the beginning of the investigation, Geng Qiming wanted to meet with the team and said that there was important information to report. After listening to Geng Qiming's words, the enemy officer came over and threatened him, and if he did not reveal the truth or conceal something, he would cut off his head, and Geng Qiming smashed him on the ground with the butt of his gun.
Geng Qiming stopped, stood up with difficulty, straightened his chest and raised his head, and identified himself to the Kuomintang officers. "I am a member of the Communist Party, I was arrested by you today, you want to kill me, you want to crush my corpse into ten thousand pieces, whatever you want, I don't care." But I hid 400 rounds, two pistols, a machine. "There are guns in Yimeng Mountain, you can kill me." Without me, these weapons and ammunition would be there, and no one would be able to find them. But if you find these ammunition and fight the Japanese, I will not die in vain. ”
In those times, every army urgently needed weapons and ammunition. The Kuomintang officers listened to Geng Qiming's words and made their own plans. In those days, as long as you caught a communist and handed it over to the secret service, you could get a lot of bounties. If they also have a lot of weapons, it will not be a problem to get promoted and get rich. He then asked the soldiers to release Geng Qiming and respectfully asked Geng Qiming to tell him where the weapon was.
Geng Qiming pointed out the location of the mountain where the weapons were hidden and expressed his willingness to lead the way for the Kuomintang troops. Everyone went all the way over the mountain and finally found the mountain that Geng Qiming mentioned. The ridge is a special terrain in the Yimeng region. It is as high as a mountain and steep with an axe. It is very difficult to climb up and down the ridge. If you stand on it, it is difficult to climb up due to the large waste. It's dizzying and scary. However, these Kuomintang soldiers were usually weak, physically and technically. It takes a lot of effort to climb a short section.
The Kuomintang officers stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at the cave on the mountain. He was very excited. Gradually, he relaxed his guard against Geng Qiming. When he saw that his soldiers did not have the strength to continue climbing, he shot and threatened the soldiers below the mountain to continue climbing.
After a while, the men finally climbed to the top of the mountain, ready to enter the cave along the mountain wall. At this time, the Kuomintang officers sent people to twist two thumb-thick ropes together, one part held by the Kuomintang soldiers, the other tied to Geng Qiming's waist, and let Geng Qiming go down to the cave. Gun.
Watching Geng Qiming gradually descend the mountain, the Kuomintang officer sat on the ground easily, smoked a cigarette, and began his endless reverie while waiting. I captured a communist commander and also seized a large number of weapons hidden by communist guerrillas. After returning this time, he will definitely be promoted and rich.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no news from Geng Qiming. At this moment, the heart of the Kuomintang officer sank. He quickly stood up, ran to the edge of the mountain in three steps and made two steps, and called Geng Qiming down the mountain. But there is no sound other than echoes.
The heartbeat of the Kuomintang officers suddenly accelerated. He and his men stood on the top of the mountain. Geng Qiming was tied by this rope, and the other end of the rope was also tied to his body. If he loosens the rope and escapes, he will also sense. So Geng Qiming hid in the cave and didn't come out?
He told the soldiers to pull the rope up. Despite some resistance, he had the soldiers pull the ropes. When we finally reached the top of the mountain, we saw a large stone tied to the other end of the rope. The Kuomintang officers were immediately furious. He thought that Geng Qiming was hiding in the cave and did not dare to come out. He wanted to send someone in to arrest him, but was deceived.
Just as he was about to send someone down to look for Geng Qiming and his weapons, Geng Qiming's hearty voice came from the opposite mountain: "Thank you for sending me all the way, Geng Qiming will go back the rest of the way." ”
It turned out that after Geng Qiming went down the mountain, he secretly tied the rope to the stone and secretly climbed down the mountain wall along the stone wall through the cave. The Kuomintang officer, who felt shot, took out his gun and shot at Geng Qiming on the left, but after all, the distance was too far and not a single bullet hit Geng Qiming. Instead, they cheered to celebrate Geng Qiming's departure.
In that era, when everyone risked their lives for the survival of the nation, our party and army not only had to fight to the death against the Japanese aggressors and fight fiercely every day, but also faced the common attacks of all kinds of mountain bandits. and White Terror. In such a tragic era, people like Geng Qiming who were lucky enough to survive and escape belonged to a very small number of lucky people.
Pay tribute to Geng Qiming, and pay tribute to those ancestors who sacrificed their precious lives for national independence and land liberation!
