One day in early 1936, an unfortunate news reached the Special Committee of the Communist Party of China's Shenfu: Li Bingzhang, then head of the Red Sui Work Committee of the Shenfu, was killed by Kuomintang bandits, and his head was inhumanely hung on the walls of Gaojiabao for public display. The leader of the special committee was very sad, and when he was preparing to hold a memorial service for him, he returned unexpectedly, and everyone could not believe their eyes. What's going on?
Li Bingzhang
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >, in Jiajiagou, he finally found the Communist Party he longed for</h1>
Li Bingzhang, a native of Luojiayuan Village, Huashiya Town, Shenmu County (present-day Shenmu City), Shaanxi Province, assumed the pseudonym Ding Yi during the agrarian revolution. Born in 1905 to a poor peasant family, he began working for rich men at the age of 18 to herd sheep. In 1927, a small businessman came to the village and lived with Li Bingzhang at night. He said: "There is now a Communist Party outside, also called the Red Army, leading the poor to turn around, attacking landlords and gentry, and establishing an equal society. In the future society, there is no oil for lighting lamps, no cattle for ploughing, and no worries about dressing and eating. Li Bingzhang was very excited to hear this, and asked about some situations. Since then, he has longed for the Communist Party and paid attention to inquire about relevant news.
In the autumn of the same year, Li Bingzhang learned that a party branch had been established in Jiajiagou Village, Hejiachuan Town, and rushed to the village, eager to see the leader of the branch. However, at that time, the party organization was not open, there was no introduction from acquaintances, and party members and cadres generally did not expose their identities. In 1930, he went to the village again and stayed at night at the home of Jia Lingde, then a member of the party branch organization. Jia Lingde felt that he was warm and sincere, so he told his identity, he said: "Mao Zedong and Zhu De established a revolutionary base area in Jinggangshan and led the poor to make a revolution. We also organize the poor peasants to struggle against the exploiting classes and overthrow the dark society. From today onwards, we will be good friends and keep in touch often. When you go back, you will preach revolutionary ideas to the masses. The next day, Jia Lingde also took him to see Jia Huaiguang, the secretary of the party branch, and others, and listened to a lot of revolutionary principles. After Li Bingzhang returned, through active propaganda, the surrounding masses had a better understanding of the Communist Party and the Red Army, and their revolutionary consciousness was markedly enhanced. In 1933, he joined the Communist Party of China.
Luojiayuan Village
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, in the face of a murderous enemy, he stepped forward to protect the masses</h1>
At the beginning of 1934, a secret district committee of the party was established in Baijiagou Village, Shenmu County, and Li Bingzhang was a member of the Propaganda Committee, and began to assume the pseudonym Ding Yi. At that time, the collection servants sent down by Jia County every year were rampant, especially for poor peasants who could not afford to pay taxes, hanging and beating at will, and even forcing them to leave their hometowns and destroy their families. Li Bingzhang was determined to eliminate harm to the people, and took the lead in leading the masses of Shapo Xigou Village to execute two collectors sent by Jia County, which was very popular, but it became the focus of the Kuomintang's arrest. Late one night, a company of enemies suddenly pounced on him and surrounded the village of Luojiayuan. The sleeping masses were forcibly driven to an elm tree in the village. In the burning fire under the elm tree, several shovels were burned red. The leader of the enemy pointed to the fire and shouted: "We have come to capture the Red Army, and we know that if the Red Army does not say anything, there will be no good end." But no one paid any attention, and he roared with all his might: "There is a man named Ding Yi in your village, do you know?" Where is Ding Yi? Except for the sound of "crackling" matches burning, the scene was still silent. Suddenly, the enemy became angry and embarrassed, pulled out the old man Li Tiansheng from the crowd, hung five flowers on the elm tree, and broke three wooden sticks in a row before asking: "Where is Ding Yi?" Who is the Red Army? Li Tiansheng endured severe pain and firmly replied: "I have not seen the Red Army, I don't know who Ding Yi is!" The enemy pulled Li Bingzhen and Li Sanzhang out of the crowd and hung them on the elm tree, stripped off their clothes, and used a red shovel to burn the "squeak" on their backs, and the choking smoke filled everywhere. Li Bingzhang, who was in the crowd, could no longer bear it, burning with anger, violently breaking free of his brother's wrist and suddenly standing in front of the enemy. "You let them go, and you want Ding Yi to tell me." When the enemy viciously pulled him over and was about to be hung up and tortured, his brother Li Bingkuan stood up in a big stride: "Good men do good things, they are not the Red Army, I am the Red Army, I want Ding Yi to know." The enemy was confused for a moment, and at this time the masses scrambled to say: "These two individuals, one is Li Bingkuan, the other is his long-term worker Erniu (referring to Li Bingzhang), there is a neurosis, they are not the Red Army." The leader of the enemy grabbed Li Bingkuan's hair and said viciously, "Who doesn't know you, you are Li Bingkuan, where is your brother?" Li Bingkuan said calmly: "The third elder is not doing his job, he has been out for a long time, and he does not know where to go." The enemy could not find any results, tied up Li Bingkuan, and prepared to be taken back to Jia County for interrogation. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly ambushed by the Red Army of Shenfu halfway through, and he quickly fled in the chaos, only to be shot by the enemy in the calf.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, in critical moments, he bravely averted danger many times</h1>
At the beginning of 1935, the Kuomintang reactionaries launched a second crazy counter-revolutionary "encirclement and suppression" in the Shenfu revolutionary base areas, with a force of more than 5,000 troops, white terror enveloping the land of the Shenfu, and the Shenfu agrarian revolution entered the most difficult, severe, and critical juncture. Li Bingzhang, who was then the instructor of the First Company of the Red Third Regiment, persisted in the struggle. Once, they held a meeting in the Longwei Mountain Kiln, but the news leaked and they were surrounded by enemies. Li Bingzhang and Liu Jimin were caught by the enemy before they could evacuate, and they were tied with ropes and prepared to pull them back to ask for credit. When the enemy dragged them along a small road surrounded by a mountain ditch, Li Bingzhang took advantage of the enemy's lack of defense and suddenly jumped down the deep ditch with full strength, and an enemy was also dragged down the bottom of the ditch and fell into serious injury. The enemy above was afraid of injuring his own people by mistake and did not dare to shoot, so Li Bingzhang hurriedly escaped.
In the summer of the same year, most of the Shenfu Revolutionary Base Area fell, and the Shenfu Agrarian Revolution entered a low tide. Li Bingzhang, Wang Zhaoxiang (leader of the Red Third Regiment) and others secretly operated in the jujube tree ditch of Luojiayuan for more than 40 days and suffered a lot, but the revolutionary faith was still as strong as steel and unwavering. Once, the CPC Shenfu Workers assigned Qiao Zhongling, Li Bingzhang, and Mao Shichang to nearby villages to mobilize the masses and restore the Shenfu revolutionary base area. Shortly after departing from jiuwuhui village, it was discovered by several enemies, who kept firing shots while desperately chasing after them. The three felt that the situation was not good, and hurriedly jumped down the deep ditch lined with rocks to prepare to escape, but Qiao Zhongling fell at the bottom of the ditch and injured his vertebrae and could not move. Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the enemy, Li Bingzhang made a clever move, carried Qiao Zhongling along the bottom of the ditch and returned to Jiuwuhui Village, where the masses buried them with firewood and grass. The enemy chased into the village and searched for a while, but there was no trace of them, and they slipped away.
In January 1936, Li Bingzhang was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of the Special Committee of the Communist Party of China. At that time, armed struggle was launched again, and the revolutionary base areas of Shenfu were gradually restored. Li Bingzhang was active in the Anya area of Yulin, opened up several villages, developed many party members, and in 1936 he was one of the heads of the Red Sui Working Committee of the Communist Party of China. One night, a traitor led a company of enemies to suddenly surround the work committee's residence, preparing to capture Li Bingzhang and other leaders of the work committee. He led the cadres of the working committee and the soldiers of the detachment to retreat while fighting, and finally broke out of the enemy's encirclement. The enemy originally thought that the arrest operation was ten to ten, but the result was still unsuccessful, and he felt that he really could not go back to the superiors, so he went so far as to find a corpse of someone else, cut off his head, pretend to be the head of Li Bingzhang, and bring it back to Gaojiabao to report on the "results of the battle", which was hyped up.
From 1937 to 1948, Li Bingzhang successively served as chief of the civil affairs section of Shenfu County, secretary of the CPC Desheng District Committee, chief of the construction section of Shenfu County, and chief of the judicial section of the First Special Bureau of Jinsui Border District. In 1949, due to illness, he could not work, and was approved by the organization to leave, and died in 1976.
