The legend of Fu Hengxiu

Fu Hengxiu

Fu Hengxiu (1921.3-2004.6), a member of the Communist Party of China and a retired cadre, has participated in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, the Sichuan Bandit Suppression War and the construction of the Tibet Highway after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

First, the germ of anti-Japanese resistance

Fu Hengxiu was originally from Fuzhuang Village, Wangpitao Township, Luyi County, and since his grandfather, his family moved to Chen Xiaozhai Village, 3 miles northeast of Fuzhuang.

The Fu family is a single-family in the village, the family is wealthy, with more than 100 acres of land, and the whole family makes a living from farming. Fu Hengxiu was frail and sickly since childhood, thin and small, and when he was 6 years old, he was sent by his family to the Chenghuang Temple on the east side of the county seat Shiwei as a Taoist child, named "Ligui", hoping that he could grow up safely under the protection of the Chenghuang. In order to show their piety, the family also sent corresponding food and incense money to the temple after the wheat harvest every summer.

When he was 12 years old, Xiao Hengxiu returned to Chen Xiaozhai Village and was sent by his family to Xue Xiucai in Xuelou Village to receive enlightenment. In addition to receiving systematic traditional education, he also learned more social and cultural knowledge. During this time, they also learned to plow, hoe, rake, harvest and other farm work.

In 1937, the "77 Incident" broke out in the War of Resistance Against Japan. On June 1, 1938, the county seat of Luyi fell for the first time. In October 1938, Peng Xuefeng led the Henan East Guerrilla Detachment of the New Fourth Army to Luyi County, where he rested in the areas of Liu Dazhuang, Muge, Lizhuang and Zhanglou, 10 kilometers southeast of the city.

The legend of Fu Hengxiu

Liu Dazhuang's New Fourth Army Stay

Fu Zhuang was adjacent to these villages, and Fu Hengxiu was deeply impressed by the strict discipline of the New Fourth Army, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm aroused, and the close relationship between the military and the people, so he took the initiative to join the party-led Wang Pitao Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment, actively raised materials and donated food to the guerrilla detachment, and asked to join the New Fourth Army. At this time, Fu Hengxiu was married and had children, and the family resolutely opposed it when they found out, and his grandfather and father watched him and didn't let him go out again.

2. Joining the army to resist Japan

On April 25, 1939, the Japanese invaders raided Luyi County from Zhecheng with the strength of one squadron and two regiments of the puppet army. Wei Fenglou, the then county magistrate of the Republic of China (a special member of the Communist Party of China)[1], led the anti-Japanese troops to hastily respond to the battle with the New Fourth Army's remaining office, and when the enemy was outnumbered, our army was defeated and withdrew from the county seat, and Luyi County fell for the third time.

After the Japanese invaders occupied Luyi, they burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, and their atrocities once again ignited Fu Hengxiu's passion to join the army to resist Japan. In June of that year, he learned that the New Fourth Army was operating in the Yongcheng area, so he secretly planned to join the army.

One day after the wheat harvest, according to the practice of previous years, the Fu family sent Fu Hengxiu and his cousin to send grain to the Chenghuang Temple.

Walking to the South Cross River of Shangqiu, Fu Heng repaired the road and met Hu Zongnan's 37th Division, and the officials saw that he was educated, so they persuaded him to join the army. Fu Hengxiu thought that it was anti-Japanese anyway, and it was different from anyone, so he enlisted in the army. Soon, he went to western Henan with the team and was assigned to the service company of the 37th Division. In January 1940, he was transferred to the baggage company of the 76th Army, and in March, he was appointed as the secretary of the 2nd Company of the 2nd Regiment of the Guanzhong Division [2], stationed in the area of Weinan and Pucheng in Shaanxi, and was responsible for the replenishment of troops and the training of recruits of the 76th Army.

In December 1941, Fu Hengxiu was assigned to the supplementary regiment of the 169th Division of the 98th Army of the National Army and served as the chief of the 4th Company. The 98th Army was a rare anti-Japanese force in the National Army at that time, and fought side by side with the Eighth Route Army many times. Army commander Wu Shimin, also known as Wu Mianzhi, was the commander of the 10th Division in Yang Hucheng, and was stationed in Luyi in 1928.

In May 1941, after the defeat of the Kuomintang army at Zhongtiao Mountain, the 98th Army led by Wu Shimin moved to various places and resolutely fought against the Japanese army in Shanxi with the Eighth Route Army. In September, in the battle with the Japanese army at Matou Mountain, Qinshui County, Shanxi, the 98th Army suffered heavy losses. [3] Takeshi Min was severely wounded in the head and died a heroic death.

In October 1942, after breaking through, Fu Hengxiu came to the Wei Fenglou Department who had carried out anti-Japanese work in Luyi, and served as the platoon commander and company commander of the advance regiment. In 1944, the Wei Department was defeated in Zhangmao in western Henan, and Fu Hengxiu broke through to the Hebei militia.

In October 1945, Fu Hengxiu followed Gao Shuxun, the commander of the new 8th Army of the Kuomintang, to revolt in the Handan area, and was assigned to the 4th Company of the 4th Division and 2nd Regiment of the Democratic National Construction Army as a platoon commander. In July 1946, he entered the Military and Political University of the Jinji Luyu Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, during which he joined the Communist Party of China.

3. The battle is in Luyi

In 1947, after graduating from Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan Military and Political University, Fu Hengxiu met his old superior, Wei Fenglou. At this time, Wei was appointed deputy commander of the Yuwan Soviet Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and commander of the 2nd Division and the Yudong Column, and Fu Hengxiu was appointed as the head of the Luyi County Intelligence Station and returned to his hometown after eight years of absence.

At this time, Luyi County was a newly opened up area of our party, and the Kuomintang army and local security forces were very rampant; although the armed forces of the Henan-Anhui Soviet Military Region and the 58th Regiment of the 7th Column carried out the battle of encirclement and annihilation of Zaoji and the first battle to liberate Luyi County, the situation of the enemy's strength and weakness did not change. In March 1947, when the Luyi County Independent League was established, there were only six district-level regimes in the county: Dancheng, Wutai, Xianliang, Zhaocun, Jishui, and Hugang.

Capture the enemy brigade commander alive

On June 10, 1947, the 11th district of Luyi County under the leadership of the party was established, and Fu Hengxiu served as the district head. At this time, the district team had only 19 members, 3 rifles (2 did not fire), 15 bullets, 5 grenades, 5 machetes, and 13 red tassel guns.

On the second day of the establishment of the district team, it was learned that Zhang Shaoting, deputy brigade commander of the Hepeng Lifting Department of the Jiang Army, had returned home to pay homage to his mother's third anniversary, with 1 guard squad, 1 light machine gun, 8 rifles, and 2 pistols.

Zhang Shaoting, nicknamed Zhang Huzi, a native of Yanzhuang, east of Luyi City, was the magistrate of Luyi County of the Kuomintang in 1931, and was assigned to the 9th detachment of the puppet 25th Division in 1932 as the detachment leader.

According to Fu Hengxiu's reminiscences: "We were overjoyed to receive the news and decided to seize the opportunity to eat this gift sent to the door. In the evening, after making a large circle of 15 miles to the east, the district team stopped at a road only half a mile away from Yanzhuang and quickly made combat arrangements. More than a dozen people quietly entered the village and approached Zhang's house smoothly, and the guards at the gate were killed by us as if nothing had happened.

Breaking into the gate and entering the courtyard, the cups and plates on the table in the west house in the front yard were messy, a group of people were pushing cups and changing glasses and drinking, I ordered 4 members of the district team to carry 5 bombs, 2 pistols to guard the second gate, and the others were ambushed around, waiting to shout and cheer when the fire started.

Teng Xuewu and I went straight to the hall, Zhang Shaoting and his son were drinking around the table Zhengxing, we just arrived at the door and they found out, his son saw that the momentum was not right, walked to the door and said: Everyone, please sit down, have a drink! While pulling out the box gun from his waist, Teng Xuewu kicked his pistol away. This guy dodged out again, jumped on the south wall, and was chased forward by Teng Xuewu, grabbed his legs and pulled down, and fell to the ground.

Zhang Shaoting saw that the situation was not good, so he pretended to be calm and said: What part are you, it's a mess! We are the Eighth Route Army, and as I replied, I gave a loud order to the outside: The platoon commander of the horse platoon commands the troops outside, and no one is allowed to break into people's houses. The rest of the team shouted.

The enemy did not know how many Eighth Route Army troops came, and a group of enemies in the backyard took the opportunity to escape over the wall. That's how we captured Beard alive. The next day, we sent him to the county brigade, and with the support of our superiors, we held a public trial meeting in Lao Crowdian, and after the meeting, he was executed on the spot. ”

After Zhang Shaoting was captured alive, the personnel of District 11 expanded to more than 30 people, and the weapons developed to 7 rifles and 5 pistols.

Yingzi village distributes grain

Liu Hongyuan, a large landowner in Yingzi Village in the east of the city, owns dozens of hectares of fertile land, hoards 50,000 or 60,000 catties of grain, herds of mules and horses, and countless clothes and households. In July 1947, according to the demands of the poor people in Chengguan District, the district party committee decided to distribute the grain hoarded to the poor masses.

The time for the distribution of grain was scheduled for 6 July, but at noon on 5 July, an urgent notice was suddenly received from the county party committee, saying that more than 3,000 people from the Kuomintang Luyi County Joint Defense Commander Xie Chengjiang and Wang Runfeng's regiment had come from Zhecheng. At this time, the troops of the 2nd Division and the county independent regiment were carrying out combat missions in the field, and the county party committee demanded that the districts be quickly transferred.

After Fu Hengxiu received the notice, he was in a dilemma: the hungry poor people had long been looking forward to distributing food. If they do not make a difference, they will dampen the enthusiasm of the masses of the people, lose their trust in the party, and at the same time increase the arrogance of the landlords, who will take the opportunity to sell or transfer their grain; If the original plan is carried out according to the plan, they are worried that they will run out of time and risk being attacked by the enemy.

In the end, Fu Hengxiu decided to seize time with the enemy and quickly distribute food in advance according to the marching speed and practice of the previous security regiment. Therefore, he convened a meeting of district team cadres overnight to convey the instructions of the county party committee and the enemy's situation, and informed the masses to go to Yingzizhai to distribute grain overnight.

At dawn on the 6th, the people who distributed the grain flocked to Yingzizhai, and Fu Hengxiu organized the distribution of grain, and at the same time sent 3 groups of 6 people to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the direction of Luyi County and Zhecheng. As soon as the grain was halfway distributed, the first group of scouts came back to report that the enemy had arrived in the county seat; At about 8 o'clock, the second group of reconnaissance personnel reported that the enemy had been stationed and was reconnoitring our situation; At about 11 o'clock, the third group of scouts returned to report that the enemy had made a sortie in the direction of Yingzizhai.

Yingzizhai is only 6 or 7 miles away from the county seat, and the enemy will arrive in an instant. Fu Hengxiu announced to the masses: If the enemy is discovered, the distribution of grain will be temporarily stopped, and we will prepare for war!

Fu Hengxiu asked the district team to organize the mass transfer, and he led 4 district team members to the west to meet the enemy. Hidden in a desolate cemetery about a mile west of the village, the clothes of the district team members were soaked with sweat in the hot weather and nervous mood. The enemy slowly searched over, and when the distance was about 200 meters, 5 people suddenly opened fire.

Due to the depth of the barley sorghum, the enemy could not figure out the reality of our army, and they fell down one after another to fight back. Fu Hengxiu and his team members quickly evacuated south after firing 2 rows of bullets. After firing at the graveyard with rifle machine guns for a while, the enemy got up and slowly advanced to the cemetery, only to realize that our personnel had been transferred.

When Fu Hengxiu was moving south, he found that more than 400 people from the Red Gun Society had rushed in the direction of Siyangzhai and Fanqiao, and they were chasing the district armed forces that had been withdrawn first under the command of Ding Zhuang Ding Haozi, and the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters, and the situation was urgent.

In order to get rid of the danger, Fu Hengxiu and the five people immediately shot at the Red Gun Society, and shouted at the same time: The 11th District Team has arrived, capture Ding Mazi alive. At this time, the enemy behind him also chased after him, and Fu Hengxiu and the others quickly went east, shouting as they retreated: Brothers of the Red Gun Society, go back and fight the 11th District Team, we are here to help you.

After a sound of attacking from east to west, the Red Gun Society and Xie Chengjiang's joint defense team were unable to distinguish between the enemy and us for a while, and they actually fought each other indiscriminately. Fu Hengxiu and the 11th District Team took the opportunity to withdraw from the battle and transfer safely.

Outsmart the bullies

In January 1948, Fu Hengxiu was transferred to the head of District 1 of Luyi County. At this time, hundreds of thousands of Kuomintang troops were frantically encircling and suppressing our Henan-Anhui-Soviet liberated areas, and the New Fifth Army and the Luyi Native Returning Regiment were capturing people from our counties and districts everywhere, burning, killing, prostituting and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil. Liu Ying, the landlord of Wang Pitao Liu Dazhuang and the head of the joint defense team, is known as: "The womb is bad, and the king of Hades is alive", and the district team wants to pull out this cancer, but has been suffering from no chance.

On Chinese New Year's Eve in 1948, the Liu family held a banquet with lanterns. Fu Hengxiu thought that Liu Ying would go home for the New Year, so he led the district team to raid at night and caught him off guard. As soon as the district team arrived at the periphery of Liu Dazhuang, Liu Ying heard the news and led the team to flee through the back door in a hurry. The 11th district team surrounded the Liu family, learned that Liu Ying had fled, and searched the old landlord of the Liu family from under the bed. The next day, a mass meeting was held in the empty field in the village to accuse the Liu family of the crime of the father and son. Liu Ying led more than 100 armed people to return, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the enemy had strong firepower.

The enemy is strong and I am weak, Fu Hengxiu personally covered the district team and led the old landlord to retreat south, and the masses were also evacuated under the cover of the district team. In the scuffle, Fu Hengxiu found himself surrounded in the village, and it was difficult to get out of the village for a while. He calmly stopped in front of a remote courtyard, and saw that the aisle of the gate was covered with a roof made of straw, so he jumped on the hanging beam, hid on the roof, and blocked the hole with sundries.

The enemy searched the village to no avail, and believing that all the district teams had withdrawn, began to leave one by one with their clothes, chickens and ducks and other trophies. Two guys stayed behind, and as they passed through the aisle, one guy looked up at the floating shed and said, "Do you think there's anything up there?" The first strike is the strongest, Fu Hengxiu flew down with a "whoosh", crossed his legs, landed on the ground with both feet, and shot the two guys twice, sending them hand in hand to report to the king of Hades.

The nearby enemy turned around and ran over again, and in a hurry, Fu Hengxiu grabbed the blood on the enemy's body with both hands, wiped it on his face, and shouted at the running enemy: Chase quickly, the person ran over there! The enemy looked at their wounded "brother" from afar and turned in the direction they were pointing. Fu Hengxiu took the opportunity to flash into the alley, avoid the enemy out of the village, and escaped.

The district team members were worried about his safety, and when they saw him return safely, they hugged him with tears of excitement. Soon after, the district party committee held a mass meeting in Zhangbinying Village and issued a proclamation to shoot the old landlord, who had a lot of blood debts.

Righteousness and son-in-law

Fu Hengxiu's wife's maiden family is a small landowner in Yuezhuang Village, Zhangwanji Township (now Dancheng County), with more than 500 temples of land, and her father-in-law's name is Yue Laohua, who is the director of the Kuomintang village joint security.

At the beginning of 1948, Wang He, president of the peasant association of the village, was suspected of tipping off Yue Laohua and was arrested and killed by the Kuomintang joint defense team. Yue Laohua was worried that the Communist Party would not let him go, so he found Fu Hengxiu and asked Fu Hengxiu to help him get an idea. Fu Hengxiu said: "Such a big thing, I can't protect you, you better go to the county and say it!" He sent someone to send Yue Laohua to the county brigade, and was later executed by the county brigade (another said that Fu Hengxiu sent Yue Laohua back, walked out of the embankment outside the village, and took advantage of Yue's unpreparedness to shoot him).

In February 1949, when he learned that Fu Hengxiu was going south with the 16th Army, his wife took his 10-year-old son Fu Jinting to Fu Hengxiu's office, and learned that his father had been shot, and said angrily: "He asked you for an idea, but if you don't help him, and send him to the county, is there still life?" After his wife quarreled with him, he returned to Chen Xiaozhai with his son overnight. After the family found out, Fu Hengxiu's mother and sister looked at Fu's wife day and night, worried that she would not think of an accident. Yuezhuang's relatives also hated Fu Hengxiu for being ruthless because of this, and they broke off from there. After liberation, Fu Hengxiu often taught his children and said: "Your mother has paid too much for our family, you must be good to her and take good care of her."

Fourth, go south to Sichuan and Tibet

In August 1948, Fu Hengxiu served as a reconnaissance staff officer of the Intelligence Department of the 2nd Army Division of the Henan-Anhui Soviet Military Region, and followed the director Li Zimu to establish liaison stations in Luyi, Shangqiu, Huaiyang and other places to collect enemy intelligence, reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and support the Huaihai Campaign.

In February 1949, according to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, the Central Plains Field Army (Liu Deng Army) was reorganized into the Second Field Army, based on the former 1st Column and the Independent Brigade of the Yuwan Soviet Military Region, etc., the 16th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (under the Fifth Corps) was formed in Shenqiu, and Fu Hengxiu was assigned to the 142nd Regiment of the 48th Division of the 16th Army as a reconnaissance staff officer.

In May 1949, Fu Hengxiu served as the commander of the communications company of the 142nd Regiment, and participated in the battle of crossing the river and the liberation of Jiangxi with his troops. In August 1949, he was transferred to the staff officer of the Fifth Corps Guard Regiment, and marched to the southwest with the Fifth Corps through Shaoyang, participating in the liberation of Guiyang, Zunyi, Bijie, and Chengdu and the suppression of bandits in the Qionglai area.

In January 1951, he entered the staff team of the 2nd Infantry School in Chongqing to study, and Yu Qiuli, the principal and political commissar, once taught the staff team. In 1984, due to the loss of his graduation certificate at the No. 2 Infantry School, Fu Hengxiu found General Yu Qiuli, then director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army and deputy secretary general of the Central Military Commission.

In July 1952, Fu Hengxiu graduated from the second step school and served as a staff officer of the Armed Forces Department of Weining County, Guizhou Province.

The legend of Fu Hengxiu

Construction of the Kang-Tibet Highway

At the beginning of 1950, in order to cooperate with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to march into Tibet and complete the historical mission of the reunification of the motherland, the construction of the Kang-Tibet Highway (now the Sichuan-Tibet Highway) connecting the Ya'an-Lhasa section of the former Xikang Province began. In January 1953, Fu Hengxiu was transferred to the secretary of the road construction headquarters of the western section of the Kang-Tibet Highway and the reconnaissance staff officer of the 155th Regiment, responsible for the united front and understanding of the enemy situation and social situation in the road construction area.

The western section of the Kang-Tibet Highway refers to the section from Lhasa to Gongbu Jiangba River Bridge, which is about 250 kilometers long and is built by the 155th Regiment of the 18th Army, the direct artillery battalion of the army and more than 8,000 migrant workers in Tibet. At this time, since Tibet had not yet carried out democratic reforms, it was still through the old Kasha government to gather migrant workers (Ula). Because the migrant workers have never had contact with our army, and because of the language barrier, they are suspicious and hostile to the PLA. When they first arrived at the construction site, the soldiers helped to make tea, but they refused to let it, for fear of poisoning, so they took care of the pot.

Fu Hengxiu and the working group of the headquarters, through the Tibetan government, led the officials to publicize the significance of road construction, the party's ethnic and religious policies, and the purpose and discipline of the people's army to the migrant workers.

The headquarters divided the migrant workers into shifts, and each soldier was responsible for 60 migrant workers, teaching them how to use road construction tools, what are slopes, curves, how to repair culverts, drainage ditches, and forts. Tibetan migrant workers believe in Lamaism, and the army respects their habits and sets aside time for them to recite sutras. When building roads, they also seek their opinions first, or carry or detour when they encounter "sacred mountains, sacred stones, sacred trees" and "mani piles"; Wages are paid directly to migrant workers in kind. The troops were all responsible for the construction of the mountain, the drilling of holes and the firing of artillery, the dangerous road sections, and the dangerous work.

"Pikang Cliff" is the most dangerous area of the project, the altitude is more than 5,000 meters, the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and the torrent under the mountain is surrounded, and the local Tibetans call it "the birds are sad to pass the Pikang Cliff". The 155th Regiment attacked the fortified company with a rope hanging its body on the cliff to shoot holes and fire cannons, and it was hard to carve out a heavenly road through the cliff. On November 27, 1954, the troops defeated the enemy's attack, the lack of oxygen in the high mountains, the shortage of food and the severe cold, and on November 27, 1954, they joined forces with the road construction army on the eastern front at the Jiangba River Bridge in Gongbu, completing an unprecedented historical feat. Chairman Mao wrote an inscription for the opening of the highway: "Celebrate the opening of the Kang-Tibet-Qinghai-Tibet Highway, consolidate the unity of the people of all nationalities, and build the motherland."

At the warm celebration meeting, looking at the jubilant crowd around him and the holy plateau in the world, Fu Hengxiu recalled the days and nights of road construction in the past two years, and he burst into tears with excitement, crying and laughing.

In October 1956, Fu Hengxiu transferred from the Armed Forces Department of Qionglai County, Sichuan Province, and returned to work in the Armed Forces Department of Luyi County.

In 1958, he was wrongly classified as a rightist during the "anti-rightist" movement and was sent to work in the Zhongzhuang Brigade of Chenwa Township (Xiaoxiang). In 1961, he was rehabilitated and served as the head of the water conservancy unit of the Water Conservancy Bureau.

In 1968, he was wrongly classified as a counter-revolutionary during the "Cultural Revolution", and successively worked in the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Phosphate Fertilizer Factory. After the end of the "Cultural Revolution", in 1978, he became the director of the second machine factory in Qianxian County. In 1979, he was rehabilitated and his reputation was restored.

In 1981, he successively served as the deputy director of the Party History Office of the Luyi County Party Committee and the head of the highway section. In 1982, he retired with honor.

After his retirement, Fu Hengxiu continued to exert his spare energy and made positive contributions to the research and development of Laozi culture and the establishment of the Taoist Association.

In his later years, Fu Hengxiu looked back on his life of hardships and once wrote:

The entrepreneurial hidden mountain has not been forgotten, and Suo Juwu is usually long.

Thirty-seven years of reminiscing about the past, gray hair and high spirits.

I like to see the joy of thousands of families today, and the wedding clothes are all over the pavilions.

If you want to be bumpy for 7,000 days, why do you need Buddhism to heaven.

(This article is based on the history of the old area of Luyi County and the oral account of Fu Hengxiu's daughter Dongxia)

Extended reading:

[1] Wei Fenglou. Born in Weiying Village, Xihua County in 1896, he joined Feng Yuxiang's army as a soldier in his early years and served as the commander of the Third Army of the Northwest Army. In June 1938, he was approved as a special member of the Communist Party of China. In August, through the United Front relationship, he was appointed deputy commander of the security of the second administrative region of the Kuomintang and magistrate of Luyi County. During this period, he established a close combat cooperative relationship with the CPC East Henan Special Committee led by Zhang Aiping and the anti-Japanese guerrilla detachment of the New Fourth Army led by Peng Xuefeng.

[2] Divisional districts. In 1937, in order to implement the Regulations for the Implementation of the Military Service Law (Draft) and recruit soldiers, the government of the Republic of China ordered each county to set up military service committees and set up military service sections to specifically organize and implement conscription matters. In 1938, in order to further strengthen the recruitment work, the Military Service Commission was abolished and the headquarters of the army, division, and regimental districts were set up. In the spring of 1939, the Guanzhong Division of the Shaanxi Military Administrative Region set up the Pucheng Regiment Management District Headquarters in Pucheng, stationed in Chenghuangzhuang, Pucheng County, responsible for handling all military service affairs in Tongguan, Huayin, Huaxian, Weinan, Dali, Chaoyi, Chengcheng, Heyang, Hancheng, Baishui, Pucheng and other counties, and managing the military personnel in the township.

[3] Battle of Matou Mountain. In late September 1941, the Japanese army concentrated more than 30,000 people on the main force and surrounded the 98th Army in Dongyu and Xiyu in Qinshui County. Wu Shimin was not afraid of danger, went to the front line of Matou Mountain, commanded the troops to resist stubbornly, fought bloodily, and organized many breakthroughs, but finally suffered serious setbacks due to the enemy's tight blockade. During the breakout, Takeshi Min was hit in the lower palate by an enemy bullet, and he shouted: "Fight to the end, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!" He died a heroic death at the age of 49. Yan'an's "Xinhua Daily" published a special editorial, and General Zuo Quan wrote a tearful book:

Loyal to the nation-state, striving for unity and progress, and being a genius like a gentleman

Persist in resisting the war behind enemy lines, bravely kill and become a benevolent, feel a few years of nostalgia, and have a deep affection for yourself

The government of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Border Region changed Qinshui County to Shimin County, and the guerrillas were reorganized into the Shimin Brigade, and later the Shimin Independent Regiment. The Nationalist Government issued a commendation order and promoted him to the rank of army general.
