Throughout the ages, people have had a variety of reasons for "defecting to the enemy."
Some are for the sake of national righteousness, some are for promotion and wealth, some are for lovers and partners, and some are for saving their lives.
At the beginning of 1941, a group of puppet Manchurian policemen stationed in Luanping County, Rehe, the puppet Manchukuo, also followed in the footsteps of their predecessors and left the puppet Manchukuo to join the Eighth Route Army.
Surprisingly, the reason why this group of people defected to Balu turned out to be only three catties of pork!
Puppet Manchukuo
Clearly wearing "official robes," is it necessary for the puppet Manchu policemen to attach so much importance to these three catties of pork? After defecting to the Eighth Route, what kind of impact will they have on the puppet Manchukuo?
1. The bloody case caused by three catties of pork
As the junction of the puppet Manchukuo and the puppet regime in North China, the geographical location of Luanping County in Rehe Province is not unimportant.
In order to firmly control this land in their own hands, the invaders deployed troops here far beyond those in other regions, and even the police officers of the police department, which they regarded as cannon fodder and pawns, also had a large number of heavy weapons in their hands, such as machine guns and mortars, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the police forces in other counties.
Puppet Manchukuo
When the time came to 1940, due to the drastic changes in the situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders felt deeply uncomfortable. In order to further enhance the defense capability of the puppet Manchukuo (mainly to block the guerrilla attacks of the Eighth Route Army), Guan Zhixiong, the head of the military police and police section of Luanping County, launched a no-man's land plan in Luanping County.
The so-called no-man's land plan, in simple terms, was to enclose the main village with layers of walls, make it an impregnable barrier, and have the puppet Manchurian police stationed on it to defend against the attack of the Eighth Route Army. Every once in a while, the more well-equipped Japanese gendarmerie patrols the villages.
In addition, no people were allowed to live outside the village, nor were they allowed to farm, buy and sell, and if they were found to have violated the regulations, the Japanese puppet army would carry out a brutal massacre of the villagers.

Under such a frenzied strategy, the people of Luanping County have a very difficult time, and they often eat the last meal without the next meal. After a long time, they couldn't even taste the saltiness, so they could only count the days with their fingers bitterly, hoping to get out of the sea of bitterness as soon as possible.
Not only the common people, but also the puppet Manchurian police and Japanese military police stationed here have also been greatly affected. At first, they could still get some cattle, mutton and pork by squeezing the people, but after the people were squeezed clean, they could only live a life of clear soup and little water.
Before the Spring Festival in 1941, the puppet Manchurian policemen of the Luanping County Police Department had not eaten meat for a long time. Seeing the yellow and thin faces of his brothers, Chen Qiming, deputy chief of the police section, couldn't bear it, so he took out his family funds and asked Zhu Mowen, the secretary general, to go to the nearest county market to buy some pork and come back.
Puppet Manchukuo Xinjing Police Station
Zhu Mowen lived up to expectations, and with the money, he and several younger brothers bought 100 pounds of pork in one go, and planned to send it to the brothers on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to let them improve their lives.
Unexpectedly, on the day of the distribution of pork, an accident happened.
On January 26, 1941, the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Mowen and several brothers pedaled and distributed pork to the puppet Manchu policemen stationed in various villages.
Finally finished this trip, Zhu Mowen and the others took their share of pork and eagerly returned to the Luanping Police Department, planning to quickly cook the meat and have a good meal.
But at this moment, the Japanese military police in charge of the patrol arrived here on a motorcycle.
Japanese Kwantung Army
Although they are Japanese, the gendarmes have not opened meat for a long time. As soon as the six gendarmes saw the pork in Zhu Mowen's hand, they almost fell to the ground, shouting again and again for the police department to divide some of their pork.
In desperation, Zhu Mowen had no choice but to cut off half of the remaining six catties of pork and hand it to them. It's just that according to the level of greed of the Japanese invaders, how could they be satisfied?
Ignoring the obstruction of Zhu Mowen and others, the six of them rushed up and rushed straight to the remaining three catties of pork...
Second, their choice
After all the pork was snatched away, Zhu Mowen was anxious. There was no time to put down the kitchen knife in his hand, so he rushed out in three steps and two steps, wanting to reason with the Japanese military police and get back the pork from the police department.
Japan Samurai
Seeing Zhu Mowen rushing out, these gendarmes did not panic. Especially the Japanese soldier Cao who was the leader, his approach was arrogant, he raised his hand at Zhu Mowen is a rifle butt, knocked him to the ground, and even smashed two front teeth.
There was such a big commotion, and Chen Qiming, deputy chief of the police section, who was originally cooking a fire in the house, and more than 20 policemen on duty naturally did not stand idly by.
With Chen Qiming's order, everyone rushed out with guns and surrounded the six Japanese military police regiments.
To say that these Japanese military policemen really have no eyesight, after being surrounded by so many policemen with loaded guns, their attitude is still so arrogant, and they use Japanese to insult the policemen who don't know how to raise them.
Japanese gendarmerie
At this time, Zhu Mowen also got up from the ground. No matter how good-tempered a person is, after having his two front teeth knocked out with the butt of a gun, he may not be able to continue to be a saint. Seeing that the attitude of these Japanese military police was still so arrogant, his head exploded in a flash.
Without thinking too much, Zhu Mowen picked up a shell gun and smashed it on the body of the Japanese military Cao, and after the shell gun was affected by the huge impact, the bullet instantly came out of the chamber and hit the root of the military Cao's thigh.
In an instant, the wail of this military officer resounded in the sky above the police department compound. Now, everyone knows that this matter is difficult to end.
After recovering from the pain, the wounded soldier Cao decisively evacuated with his younger brothers, and it seemed that he was obviously planning to settle accounts after the autumn.
Puppet Manchurian police
Looking at the puppet Manchurian police, they are all lifelong friendships, and all the policemen don't want to hand over Zhu Mowen. After some discussion, Chen Qiming arranged for Zhu Mowen and several brothers led by the Japanese military police to change into civilian clothes and go out to avoid the crisis.
Before leaving, Chen Qiming also told Zhu Mowen that he must go to the Chengxi Forest Farm to hide from Veterinarian Li, only in this way will they not be discovered immediately.
In Luanping County, the name of veterinarian Li is very loud. Although everyone knew that he was a liaison with the Fengluan Mi anti-Japanese guerrillas, and the police department and the gendarmerie had rounded him up many times, no one was able to capture him.
After hearing Chen Qiming's words, Zhu Mowen was shocked. He knew that once the Japanese found out that he had run away to the Eighth Route Army, he would never have a peaceful day.

However, at this time, apart from defecting to Veterinarian Li, Zhu Mowen really couldn't think of any way to avoid the disaster. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and ran to the forest farm in the west of the city with a few brothers.
By the time the wounded gendarme ran over with Guan Zhixiong, the captain of the gendarmerie brigade, and a group of reinforcements, Zhu Mowen and the others had already fled and disappeared.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Guan Zhixiong was extremely angry and wanted to cure Chen Qiming's crime on the spot. But this Chen Qiming is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others, he knows very well that the relationship between the internal personnel of the Japanese Kwantung Army is complicated, even if Guan Naoxiong wants to punish him, he has to consider whether he will be implicated in this matter.
The arrogant Japanese military police
Sure enough, after listening to Chen Qiming's words, Guan Zhixiong quickly calmed down and stopped pursuing the matter.
3. Unexpected developments
After moving their eyes to Zhu Mowen's side, and after arriving at the forest farm in the west of the city, they quickly found Veterinarian Li and settled down in the forest farm.
On the one hand, there was no turning back, and on the other hand, they hated the ugly behavior of the Japanese, so Zhu Mowen and others made up their minds and joined the ranks of the Eighth Route Army.
Soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in full gear
Speaking of which, some people may be curious about the true identity of Chen Qiming, who pointed out that Zhu Mowen and others defected to Veterinarian Li, could it be that he is a member of our party?
In fact, Chen Qiming was not a member of the party at this time, and the reason why he had contact with Veterinarian Li was entirely because his conscience had not been extinguished.
A few days after Zhu Mowen and others arrived at the forest farm, a fierce battle broke out in Luanping County. After a fierce confrontation, the 10th Regiment of the Jirecha Advance Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which was underequipped and understaffed, suffered heavy losses, and even the regiment commander Bai Yihua was unfortunately killed.
In order to allow the 10th Regiment to rearm and restore its combat capability, Veterinarian Li and his party set their sights on the good guns and cannons in the hands of the police department.
White Sacrifice of Acetate
Hearing this, Chen Qiming agreed without thinking about it. He told Zhu Mowen and others that he could let the Eighth Route Army come and feign attacking a local village, and that he would ask the police to throw light and heavy weapons off the wall while the battle was taking advantage of the fighting.
After receiving the news, the troops of the Eighth Route Army immediately took action, and the next night, the head of the regiment Wang Kang led the troops to the village agreed by both sides.
After a fake "fierce battle", the puppet Manchurian police successfully threw their weapons to the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army also retreated smoothly after collecting weapons and ammunition.
Taking the opportunity of the battle to complete the delivery of weapons is really a perfect action, but what Chen Qiming didn't expect was that his brothers were quite sincere, saying that they wanted to throw weapons to the Eighth Route Army, so they really left all the weapons to the Eighth Route Army.
Our soldiers are sorting out their weapons
By the time he arrived at the scene, the more than 40 policemen in the audience didn't even have a single gun left, and each of them had two brand-new grenades pinned to their waists...
Even more unfortunate, just as Chen Qiming was in a hurry, the Japanese military police who were patrolling arrived in the village and witnessed the embarrassing situation of the policemen with their empty hands.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it this time, Chen Qiming simply relented, and like Zhu Mowen, he took a large group of brothers to defect to the Eighth Route Army.
Before leaving, they did not forget to take all the weapons in the arsenal of the police department, and did not leave a single bullet for the Japanese.
The fall of the puppet state of Manchukuo
After discovering the "collective defection" of the Luanping County Police Section, the Japanese invaders were so angry that they screamed, but at this time, Chen Qiming and others had already come to the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, and no matter how angry they were, it was only in vain.
The Japanese invaders wanted to infiltrate the Chinese people and make the Chinese voluntarily become their puppets, but they did not know that at any time, there were Chinese with a conscience like Chen Qiming, Zhu Mowen and others.
In the face of the resistance of the Chinese people, their grand imperial territory can only be a drawing after all, and will never be realized.
