In the early morning of May 1946, a bitter north wind was blowing outside the city of Mudanjiang. Commander Li Jingpu was sleeping soundly, when suddenly, "Bang bang!" The door to his bedroom was slammed open, and five or six soldiers armed with knives and guns poured in like a storm and swooped down on the figure on the kang.
The figure turned over slightly, and had jumped onto the beam, it turned out to be just a dummy made of a pillow and quilt! The visitor looked around in astonishment, only to see Commander Li walking out of the corner of the wall, holding a sword, and said coldly: "Arrest them!"
This was the prelude to Zhang Defa's rebellion. As soon as the Mudanjiang River was recovered, bandits outside were ready to move, but Zhang Defa, the captain of the city government's guard, suddenly led people to assassinate Commander Li. Who was manipulating behind the scenes? Could it be that the situation is about to turn upside down again?
Li Jingpu is a famous general of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation and has experienced a hundred battles. After the recovery of Mudanjiang, he was ordered to lead the army to garrison here. However, the enemy is constantly ghostly, and assassinations occur from time to time. Commander Li felt that the situation was serious, so he secretly transferred his henchman Yang Zirong from Hailin to reconnoiter the bandits.
It turned out that the bandit leader Xie Wendong had long planned to launch a rebellion and seize power in Mudanjiang. He instructed many bandits to infiltrate the city in disguise, and bribed Zhang Defa, the captain of the city government guard, to set up a bad plan.
At first, Commander Li did not believe that Zhang Defa would defect. Until one day, he saw a cigarette case in Zhang's dormitory, with the words "Fairy Brand" written on it, this cigarette is very expensive and rare on the market. Commander Li faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart......
After Yang Zirong took over the reconnaissance mission, he immediately launched an operation. One day, Wu Erhu's wife begged to enter the city with her child in her arms, but was found by the sentry to hide a note with numbers in her package. Under interrogation, it turned out that a mysterious woman asked her to bring it in. Yang Zirong guessed that this might be the code word of the bandit, and it must be carefully verified.
That night, Yang Zirong led people to patrol the streets and alleys, and suddenly saw a woman in red with a raw face, who was simply the woman described by the woman! Yang Zirong did not say a word, and quietly followed her. The woman seemed to sense someone and swerved into a brothel. Yang Zirong was about to break in, and a shirtless man came out and shouted loudly, isn't this Zhang Defa?
Zhang Defa saw that it was Yang Zirong, and first pretended to be surprised. Yang Zirong bluntly said that he was looking for the whereabouts of the woman, but Zhang Defa said that it was his own mother-in-law. At this time, an old woman who was squirming also came out of the room to echo. Yang Zirong knew that it must be different, and immediately retreated to elaborate.
After listening to the report, Commander Li groaned: "This brothel must be strange!" He decided to send more people to spy on him to prevent Zhang Defa and others from acting.
In the past few days, Yang Zirong has been keeping an eye on the brothel and Zhang Defa's every move. Finally, in the middle of the night, he found that several of Zhang Defa's men were killing the headquarters, and all the guards at the gate had been replaced! Yang Zirong immediately understood that they were here to assassinate Commander Li!
"Give back my husband!" A woman wept bitterly at Zhang Defa's residence outside the guard headquarters. It turned out that her husband Shi Zhuangtian disappeared while on duty yesterday. The woman said that Shi Zhuangtian also privately revealed to her the day before that he had accidentally discovered some problems with Zhang Defa while on a mission and was planning to report it back.
Yang Zirong immediately reported to Commander Li. Everyone speculated whether Zhang Defa caught Shi Zhuangtian, for fear that he would reveal some secrets. Commander Li pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that it is time to take action......
In the early morning of May 8, under the surveillance of Yang Zirong, Zhang Defa finally couldn't sit still.
That night, several of Zhang Defa's men took up arms and quietly surrounded the headquarters. At the same time, Zhang Defa himself went straight to Commander Li's bedroom and pounced on the figure on the bed.
"It's against you!" Yang Zirong saw that Zhang Defa took the bait, and immediately ordered someone to intercept the other small leaders. At this time, there was a "bang", and Commander Li's door was knocked open, and Zhang Defa and others poured in. "Die, Li Jingpu!" Zhang Defa shouted, picked up the knife and slashed at the bed. Unexpectedly, the blade pierced into the pillow buried in the futon, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground.
"Look for death!" Commander Lee jumped off the beam, and the cold light flashed in his hand, it was his saber.
"Li Jingpu!" Zhang Defa was shocked, he finally realized that he had been ambushed. At this time, Yang Zirong's people outside the door had already controlled the other small leaders.
After Zhang Defa was arrested, he quickly confessed that he had been ordered to carry out the assassination. It turned out that the bandit leaders bribed him to defect and let him take the lead in getting rid of Commander Li in order to plunge our army into chaos. Commander Li muttered: "The sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, Zhang Defa's rebellion is bound to lead to more clues." ”
So, Yang Zirong was ordered to go to the brothel to search. Inside, he found the bandit Wang Xiaoding, as well as the female spy Yizhihua sent by Xie Wendong to contact. After Wang Xiaoding was captured, he quickly confessed that the purpose of their trip was to plot against Zhang Defa, order him to get rid of Commander Li, and then launch a rebellion in the city.
"I see!" Commander Li suddenly realized, "Xie Wendong is in the way of the periphery, and Zhang Defa is working together inside and outside, wanting to wipe out our Mudanjiang!"
The treacherous plan of Zhang Defa and others came to naught, and the conspiracy of the bandits was also revealed. The Mudanjiang regime was relieved of the crisis, and the people rejoiced. Commander Li will correct Zhang Defa and others in order to learn from future generations.
Subsequently, Commander Li launched several successive battles to annihilate all the bandits and their henchmen on the periphery. At the end of the year, the Mudanjiang River was finally managed in a stable and peaceful manner.
The successes of quelling the rebellion are numerous. Yang Zirong, Geng Baolin, and many other scouts and soldiers were also commended one after another for their outstanding achievements. Commander Li warmly received them and encouraged them to make persistent efforts in the future and continue to serve the people.
Through Zhang Defa's mutiny, it reflected the complexity of the situation in Northeast China at that time. There are bandits on the outside, and traitors on the inside, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Mudanjiang regime. Fortunately, Commander Li was decisive and resourceful, and he was able to resolve the crisis in the midst of his strategy.
Yang Zirong and others are the mainstay of the recovery of Mudanjiang, it is they who sacrifice their lives and forget death, bandits and traitors, so that the people of Mudanjiang can breathe and climb out of the dire situation. They have a pure heart and selfless dedication.
