Hero "Red Three Villages"
During the Anti-Japanese War, the "Red Three Villages" in Cao County, Heze were known as the "Little Yan'an" in southwest Lu, and were the collective names of the three villages of Liugang, Yizhuang and Caolou. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this was the central area of the anti-Japanese base area in southwest Shandong, and the Japanese invading army hated it to the core, and circled the three villages together with a red pen on its combat map, and wrote a big "deficit" character, from which the "three red villages" got its name. In August 1940, in the face of an offensive by an enemy force 30 or 40 times stronger than itself, the Southwest Lu Prefectural Committee relied on the masses to persist in the struggle against the enemy for four months, and finally won a victory and kept the base area in southwest Lu. On October 6, 1943, more than 1,500 Japanese puppet soldiers invaded and occupied the "Hongsan Village", and in order to ask about the whereabouts of Communist Party members and military supplies, they tortured the villagers for seven days and seven nights. Comrade Qin Xingti, who was 25 years old at the time, was the head of the custodial unit of the Supply Department of the Fifth Sub-district Base Area, and in order to direct the masses to prepare for war, he missed the opportunity to retreat and was arrested and imprisoned. In order to let Qin Xingti tell the whereabouts of the hidden military supplies, the Japanese army failed to torture him by cutting flesh and burning him, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a bayonet. In the "Water Prison Incident", more than 70 villagers were tortured to death by the Japanese army, more than 50 villagers died of hunger due to the cause, and more than 400 houses in the village were destroyed. However, during the entire Anti-Japanese War, none of the people of the "Red Three Villages" participated in the puppet army, and none of them became traitors and traitors, and insisted on fighting bloody battles with the Japanese puppet army for eight years.
