Annihilation of the "eyeball-gouging" bandits Text/Zhao Fushan (newspaper Luo Zhao)

"Gouging out eyeballs", heinous traitor atrocities

One

The footage of history replays to 1939. In the south of Dayi Mountain in northern Jiangsu, Communist Party member Tang Shuhong mobilized the masses and organized guerrillas to fight against Japanese criminals and traitors. They intercepted Japanese cars along both sides of the river, killed and wounded several Japanese devils, seized a lot of guns and ammunition, and eliminated a group of bandits and traitors in a battle in Zhangdian.

These guerrilla fighters moved like thunder and lightning, and their hair was like wind and rain. The fight made the Japanese pseudo frightened, like ants on a hot pot, restless. At this time, there was a group of habitual bandits in the north of Dayi Mountain, and the leader was called Zhou Faqian, who was ready to move. The high-level apprentice trained by this bully, the wolf dog raised by the landlord, was originally a local green-skinned scoundrel, fierce and brutal, and a fishy villager, and he has long been notorious. After the Japanese invaders occupied Haizhou, Guanyun, and Shuyang, Zhou Faqian and his minions became landlords' armed forces and used them to brutally suppress the people.

Under the plot of the Kuomintang diehards, the local landlords conspired to eliminate these young anti-Japanese troops. They took advantage of the notoriety of united anti-Japanese efforts. pretended to negotiate with Tang Shuhong. At a negotiation table near midnight, Zhou Faqian shot a criminal bullet out of the darkness, and Communist Party member Tang Shuhong died a heroic death on the spot. Dayishan is in silence, and the salt river is whimpering. The blood of the martyrs has left a profound lesson on the people.

After all, a jackal is a wolf, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood. Zhou Faqian made meritorious contributions to the landlord class. But he was also punished. Soon after, our Eighth Route Army moved southeast from Shandong, and the local militia actively cooperated, and Zhou Faqian's troops were scattered and scattered. He led the remnants to Haizhou and went to Japan to become the Black Dogs. At that time, it was very appropriate for the people to call the puppet army that. They are nothing more than lackeys of the Japanese invaders, plus they are dressed in black, what is not the Black Dog Team? Under the protection of the Japanese invaders, Zhou Faqian became the independent captain of the Guanyun County Security Brigade and was entrenched in Wang Mazhuang on the edge of the Salt River.

Jackals are bloodthirsty. Zhou Faqian began to take revenge on the people with bloody massacres. A peasant named Feng Houchao met Zhou Faqian, and Zhou Faqian asked him, "That day, the Eighth Route Army beat my team and wanted to kill me, so you should also participate?" Feng Houchao said, "This is true! Zhou Faqian said, "What now?" Are you going to live or die? Feng Houchao said, "Since you have been caught, let it be as you please!" Feng Houchao's firm, challenging, hateful vision. Like a raging fire, it shines out on the true face of the jackal.

Zhou Faqian trembled, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he smiled fiercely: "Then leave your eyeballs to me." So, Zhou Faqian made a stumbling kick and threw Feng Houchao down on the potato cellar, pressed his left knee against Feng Houchao's chest, and used the two fingers of his right hand to pull out his two eyes bloody, which was the first time Zhou Faqian picked out people's eyeballs. The man whose eyes had been plucked out twitched in pain. Zhou felt the joy of the beast. From then on, of course, he no longer had to be afraid of Feng Houchao's hateful gaze. But Zhou Faqian didn't know that the light source of hatred was buried deep in people's hearts and could not be removed. However, due to Zhou Faqian's brutality, picking people's eyeballs among this group of jackals has become a vice to imitate.

Zhou Faqian was entrenched in Wangmazhuang for seven years. Thirteen large bunkers were built here, with black holes and holes on all sides, like man-eating beasts, and this place became the palace of the king of Hades, where bulls and horses were rampant, creating black terror for people.

If you take Wangmazhuang as the center of the circle and take the radius of ten miles and draw a circle around it, you can include more than 40 villages. In those days, you could see people with their eyeballs plucked out of almost every village here. Two eye sockets were sunken under the eyebrows, and they no longer glowed. Some people wear sunglasses, and they don't need to ask if they are also people who have lost their eyeballs. Naturally, whether they wear sunglasses or not, they have to hold a cane and poke and poke to walk. Some of the dignitaries led it, but no one led it, so they had to touch the wall and walk, often touching their heads against the door frames.

The faces of the relatives have been lost in front of them, the beautiful scenery has been lost in front of them, and all images have been said goodbye to them forever. The sun, the moon, and the stars will not meet them anymore. There was no boundary between day and night, and in front of them was darkness, like a thick black curtain that could never be seen through.

How many people's eyes did Zhou Faqian pick out over the years? In the autumn of 1945, this reporter interviewed some women in the area of Wangmazhuang, and when they heard such a question, they immediately turned pale, took a step back, and said softly: "Qingtian, sin! Potted eyes! ”

Not bad, into a basin of eye beads. In a village within a radius of twenty miles. At least 50 people had their eyes ripped out. The number of people passing by has not yet been counted. Zhou Faqian himself admitted, "My grandfather Zhou personally picked out the eyeballs, at least one company." Of course, after he said this, he picked out many more eyeballs. There is no accurate total number of people whose jackals have picked out the eyeballs of his class.

If needed. We could have a complete list of the names of the victims whose eyes were cut. Address, age, gender, etc. Each of them will make a bloody accusation against you. But remember, they don't shed tears anymore. Because the tear glands that secrete tears have been destroyed, and even tears cannot flow. As the saying goes, "Tears come to your stomach." "But the last impression stored in their optic nerve is the face of these jackals. This memory will last a lifetime.

There was a hard-working farmer in the village named Pansico. One night, Zhou Faqian arrested him, and without asking any questions, he used scissors to gouge out two of his eyes. Unexpectedly, the scissors poked too deeply, hurting the nerves, and soon after being carried home, this honest farmer died. Just when he was about to breathe, his young and beautiful wife was snatched by Zhou Faqian.

There is a bald Li who slaughters cattle in Xiaoliji Village, a single man from a foreign country from Henan. In the same day, Zhou Faqian had no grievances in the past, and he had no hatred recently, but somehow Zhou Faqian fell in love with him, and when disaster fell from the sky, he lost two eyeballs, so he had to beg for food along the street.

People say that rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest. Eagles don't eat nest food. However, Zhou Faqian saw that his family also had red clouds in their eyes. There are three brothers, and the whereabouts of the six eyeballs are unknown. There is also a family named Wang Changsheng, and the eyes of both father and son have been pulled out by this demon. But the little grandson's eyes are still bright, cutting the grass and roots, saving the trouble. Zhou Faqian stretched out his bloody hand and blinded the eyes of three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren!

There was a farmer named Shen Mazi in Li Hengzhuang, who passed by Wang Mazhuang and asked him to stay to buy the road money. He didn't have the money to buy the road. Then he left an eyeball, saying that it was "light hair".

There are many eye-picking, and this gang of jackals is constantly improving. The previous approach was stupid. First go up to a few accomplices, put the person down like a pig, and then the main culprit will do it. Some used large needles to sew quilts, poking out a lot of pinholes in the person's eyes. Then sprinkle lime powder into the pinhole and burn your eyes. If they are happy, they will pluck out their eyeballs again.

There are also some simple ways, which is to poke the eye with the bullet of the Type 38 rifle, because the Type 38 bullet is very sharp, which is different from the usual bullet, of course, there are some raw hands poked with an awl and poked with scissors. Later, when the murderers gained experience and did not need tools, they grabbed the man's hair, put his head on his knees, and inserted the index and middle fingers of his right hand into the man's two eye sockets, and hooked the eyeballs. Another way is not to even move your hands. Putting the person down on his back, the murderer pressed his knees against the person's chest socket, squeezing it back and forth so hard that in less than a meal, the person's eyes would be squeezed out.

Zhou Faqian and his minions appeared in front of you as if they were all right. When you are talking to him, he can quickly pull out any eyeball with his right hand, causing the strap of the eyeball to fall four or five inches long.

The demons did not mind so they plucked off the human eyeballs, washed them in clean water, dried them, and put them in glass jars. It is said that they would grind the eye beads into powder for medicinal purposes. "The eye is the seedling of the heart", and eating the eye bead powder can clear the heart and lungs. Of course, this medicine is not available in the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Zhou Faqian's group of murderous demons are more fascist than fascists.

Zhou Faqian, of course, is not just buttoning his eyes. More people were killed for him. Because killing someone is easier than buttoning the eyeballs. Naturally, there are some surgeries of torture, and that is the exception. Whether it's eye-picking or killing, there are many situations where there is no reason and no reason is needed. It is precisely because there is no reason to pick out the eyeballs is to kill people, and it will cause people to be inexplicably afraid. Everyone shared in the horror, fearing that one day, this or that calamity would befall them. If there had been a reason, albeit an unjustified reason, it would not have had such a terrible universal effect. All reactionaries have studied this kind of psychology.

One day, Zhou Faqian went out with a personal bodyguard. He saw an old man farming nearby. So he said to his bodyguard, "Can you defeat him?" If you knock you down, you will be rewarded with a cigarette, and as soon as the words fell, the gunshot rang out, and the old man fell to the ground. The murderer ran over, and after a while, the old man came to his senses and saw that it was Zhou Faqian and his personal bodyguard who were smoking and laughing on the side. "Captain, it's okay. I'll just go home and get healed. "The old man's kind accosting." If it can't be cured, it will cost money to treat the injury? Why don't I give you a good time! The old man's voice hadn't landed yet. He was killed by Zhou Faqian.

Zhou Faqian also pays attention to the cost of killing. One day, an old man took his daughter to pass in front of Wangmazhuang Village and showed it to Zhou Faqian. "Where are you from?" The old man said that I was from Wu Xiaocun. Wuxiao Village is a village in the liberated area. As soon as Zhou Faqian heard this, he committed a taboo. He said to the old man, Come and pluck out your ears, but the old man didn't understand what it meant, so he slapped his ears right up.

Picking out your ears is one way to do it. There are also a variety of ways to kill: what cannon? Tie a grenade to a person's body and explode. What is planted upside down is to bury people upside down in a pit. What potato? It is to bury half of a person's body in the earth. What else is there to cut the facial features and cut off the seven orifices, it is self-evident. In short, these murderous tricks are ingenious. One move wins another. They even chopped people alive and threw human flesh to the wolfdogs waiting on the side. It's the dogs that have red eyes, so they bite people when they see them. Zhou Faqian himself said, "There is no one I use who does not kill people, and I don't use anyone who does not dare to kill!" ”

Even his bodyguard, Xiao Youzi, often kills. How many people did this kid kill at the ditch flagpole the other day? Zhou Faqian asked him, and he said 13. It turned out that when Zhou Faqian and his gang were robbing things in this village, Xiao Youzi saw that a partner was missing, and he thought that he had been touched by the people. So he moved to kill, killing people when he saw them, killing 13 people in a row. After that, the lost guy snatched a lot of things and came back alive.

Zhou Faqian no longer picks people's eyes, but more of it is his apprentices who do it. Li Yugen lost money in gambling, so he borrowed it from Li Xueling. Li Xueling refused to lend it to him, so Li Yugen handed the post to Zhou Faqian and became his godson. Zhou Faqian asked Li Xueling to be brought in, and asked Li Yugen to pick out one of Li Xueling's eyes with his fingers. That's not all, he also asked Li Xueling for 100 yuan of the ocean's surgery fee. Otherwise, that eye won't be saved. Li Xueling had no choice but to give him 28 bala buckets of corn to settle this public case.

Zhou Faqian's apprentice Shen crooked his mouth, a bag of cigarettes can pick out the eyes of more than a dozen people, and he can be said to be the champion of killing demons. Zhou Faqian once boasted, "I picked out more eye beads than the snail meat sold in the flower basin on the street, and my apprentices also picked out a lot." ”

Cruelty and shamelessness are twin brothers. Zhou Faqian has nine wives. He snatched a lot of them. There was a schoolgirl in the town who was handsome, and she took a fancy to him and took him away. He met a sedan chair on the road, he blocked the road and opened the curtain to see, and the bride showed him again, which became his seventh lady. As for the women who have been raped and defiled by Zhou Faqian, I don't know how many.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. How can the people in the area of Wangmazhuang endure this bloody rain? They kindled the flames of struggle. Some joined the guerrillas, constantly fighting these bandits. There are also people who have left their hometowns and left this place to go to the liberated areas of Guangming.

On August 15, 1945, the Japanese announced their surrender. The broad masses of the people rose up to fight the traitor. Zhou Faqian, fearing the punishment of the people, ran into the arms of Chiang Kai-shek. He turned out to be the independent captain of the pseudo-Guanyun County Security Brigade. Because of the ferocity of picking out the eyeballs, he has an outstanding reputation. However, he was promoted to a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang and became the commander of the border defense of the East China Sea, Guanyun, and Shuyang. The absurd actions of the Kuomintang members made people think that they must be blind to do this. Strangely, however, none of their eyes were blind, but their hearts were dark.

It turned out that the Kuomintang was originally a good seller in the same week. In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek launched a large-scale attack on the liberated areas, and Zhou Faqian became the advance team to suppress bandits. Led a group of outlaws to occupy the territory of northern Jiangsu, brutally exploiting and suppressing the people. The flames of the people's resistance and struggle are also getting stronger and stronger. The militia sealed off the stronghold, depriving them of food, so they had to eat moldy corn and rotten dried potatoes, and they all became ill. They had no choice but to come out and rob it. But the people are strong. They can't grab anything. Unable to grab food, they had to come out and steal green. Every summer, the peas bulge. In autumn, when the beans bulged, the family members and women in these strongholds went to the fields outside the strongholds to pick beans like locusts.

At dawn one day, militia squadron leader Wang Chengzhi and squad leader Li Sigui were patrolling to prevent traitors from smuggling grain to the stronghold, and they were ambushed by Zhou Faqian. They killed Li Sigui and captured Wang Chengzhi. Zhou Faqian said to him, "If you do eight roads, your ancestors will humiliate you." Wang Chengzhi said, "It's glorious for me to do eight roads, you are a bandit, and your ancestors will cry for three days when they die." Zhou Faqian was scolded, and he also felt that his face was dull, and he said viciously, "Chop him for me!" ”

Zhou Faqian had Wang Chengzhi taken to an ancient tomb in the southwest corner of the steep ditch and tied him to a stone man. The executioner took two pig-killing knives and said to Wang Chengzhi, "Eight roads mouth, eight road mouths." I'll cut your mouth first. At that time, the Eighth Route Army was preaching the truth and gaining the support of the masses, and the enemy said that the mouth of the Eighth Route would speak and become the mouth of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Chengzhi was fearless in the face of the murderous enemy and said, "Let's chop! Eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is a good man again! The executioner then cut off Wang Chengzhi's lip and then dismembered him. The stone man was splattered with the hero's blood, staining the stone man red.

As the repression intensified, so did the revolt. In this area, the people of the neighborhood were not intimidated. In 1947, Chiang Kai-shek's 44th Division swept through this area. Every time I go to the village, I raise a fire. Led Zhou Faqian and the returning group to take advantage of the fire to rob. The militia in the township will do what they do. I spent money on a large haystack and lit it on fire. These black dog teams and homecoming groups rushed to see the fire and fell into an ambush. We killed and wounded more than 60 people on the spot.

This time, Zhou Faqian suffered a big loss and made up his mind to take revenge. At the beginning of 1948, Zhou Faqian washed Xitaro Township in blood, and more than 200 villagers suffered a catastrophe. Wei Shanfang, the 23-year-old leader of the turnaround group in Xitaro Township, led the masses to fight the landlords, divide the land, support the militia, and strike at the enemy. They arrested Wei Shanfang and tortured her for several days. She is still steadfast and unyielding, and she regards death as home. Zhou Faqian finally took Wei Shanfang outside the south gate and asked the executioner to take her to death. Wei Shanfang was not afraid of danger and was self-assured, and the villagers were moved to tears. The life of the hero was sacrificed, and the spirit of the hero was handed down. Many years have passed, and people are still telling the story of the heroine's struggle and describing her glorious image

The blood debt will be paid with blood. The punishment of Zhou Faqian was destined to come. Sure enough, that day came.

On the evening of June 20, 1948, the commanders and fighters of the 104th Regiment of the 35th Brigade of the Northern Jiangsu Corps of the People's Liberation Army set off from a station in Lianshui. The villagers knew that they were going to eliminate harm for the people, and they sent each other off in groups. Some grandmothers held incense in their hands and muttered about blessing the army to win the battle. After a night of rapid marching, at dawn our troops surrounded Xinba and began to attack. By the time breakfast had arrived, we had cleared the perimeter and forced the enemy into the great temple and fortress at the north end of the street.

There was a demolition squad of three battalions, and there was a demolition king in the class, who was brave and witty, and with a package of explosives, he blew up the fortress in front of the big temple, and the enemy was killed and wounded, and the rest ran into the big temple. The Demolition King has to move in. After chasing after each other, he used small packets of explosives and continuous blasting to break through the single walls of the big temple room. Forced all the enemy to flee to a large bunker in the patio.

At this time, the enemy fire was fierce. The demolition king couldn't go up, and the commander of the third battalion hurriedly transferred two machine guns to cover and block the enemy's gun holes. The battalion commander asked if this would work? The Demolition King confidently said that there was no problem. To increase the blasting power, he bundled a large explosive bag and made the fuse shorter so that it could be quickly detonated. Everything was ready, and the Demolitionist tightened his belts and shoelaces again. The battalion commander asked him if he was okay? The Demolition King said, "Okay! By this time, the warriors had hollowed out the bricks in the wall. The battalion commander waved his hand, and the two machine guns fired in unison. The warrior hurriedly made a large hole in the wall with a wooden pole, and the demolition king rushed in with the explosives bag.

In the blink of an eye, there was a boom, black smoke billowed out, and the ground shook. Blew up a big gap in the bunker. The enemy was terrified and hurriedly shouted, "We surrender our guns." Do not kill! The soldier replied, "Shoot and don't kill." "The enemy says he wants to kill again, what should I do? Let's make a bet.

The warrior shouted. "The People's Liberation Army counts when it speaks, what kind of curse do you bet on?" The enemy is indecisive. The fighters shouted "No surrender, another explosives pack!" As soon as the enemy heard this, he quickly surrendered. First threw guns and ammunition from the gap in the bunker, and then crawled out of the bunker one by one, a total of more than sixty people, including a little wife of Zhou Faqian, who was the female student in Xin'an Town. But I just didn't see Zhou Faqian.

The 104th Regiment pursued the victory and surrounded a county town. Before the war, the head of the regiment mobilized the fighters. The political commissar of the regiment said that Zhou Faqian detained people's eyes and hurt nature. The regiment commander also said that Zhou Faqian's troops were all composed of habitual bandits, who were fierce and cunning, and that they must be fought hard and steadily. They can't be allowed to slip through the net.

Most of the soldiers of the 104th Regiment are from this area, and their parents, relatives, and neighbors have all been cut out of their eyeballs by Zhou Faqian. There are also those who have been killed. They have a deep enmity with Zhou Fa Qian, and all the tigers are fighting hard and gearing up, and their morale is particularly high.

After many years of operation by Zhou Faqian, his fortifications were very strong, and there was a fortress three feet and six feet high. There are also earth walls, water walls, deer barricades, and several obstacles around. Before the attack, the fighters worked on the ground, dug several communication trenches, and pressed on the stronghold from all sides. The enemy continued to shoot coldly, and the bullets kicked up puffs of smoke and dust on the ground on both sides of the communication trenches. The trench was only more than 100 meters away from the stronghold. At this time, the Huai Navy Division transferred a mountain cannon and installed a gun position in Fengzhuang, a mile away to the north. The captives of Xinyuan shouted to Zhou Faqian: "Captain, Xinba has split the artillery in half, surrender quickly!" "Actually, there were only three shells in the army at that time, and they had not yet been used.

In the evening, when the sun sank to the height of the roof, our troops fired artillery. This mountain gun did not have a scope, so it had to be drawn into a cross-shaped sight with a thin rope at the muzzle. The first shot missed. Fell outside the stronghold and blew up. When Zhou Faqian saw that this was nicknamed "Drilling the Wall Ghost Mountain Cannon", which specialized in shooting at the fortress, he panicked a little and felt that the end had come. happened to hit three shots, and Zhou Faqian couldn't hold his breath anymore, so he ordered a breakthrough.

They first aimed their mortars at the open area to the east, and fired more than a dozen guns to open the way. Our army calmed down. Seeing that there was no movement, Zhou Faqian sent 20 death squads, took the fast and slow machine, climbed up from the water polder and rushed to the northeast, trying to occupy a position and cover Zhou Faqian's breakthrough. As soon as we showed up, the death squad beat us dizzy. The dead died, and they fled.

Zhou Faqian broke through with the second batch of 50 people. The fire was so heavy that it suppressed the fire of one of our platoons. At this time, our troops moved rapidly from the north and south, and killed the enemy with heavy crossfire. The third group of family members who broke through also climbed out of the water polder and couldn't run.

The time has come to pay the blood debt. More than a hundred pairs of bloodshot eyes projected a flame of revenge at Zhou Faqian. The high temperature of these flames alone is enough to scorch Zhou Faqian.

At this time, the light and heavy firearms of our army were fired in unison, and they only crackled. Fried beans in general. Beat the enemy down like straw. The squad leader of the machine gun squad, 1200 rounds of ammunition alone. Less than a hundred meters from the water polder. Zhou Faqian, the big man, finally fell, it turned out that a bullet pierced his temple, and a strand of white hair on his characteristic head was also stained red with blood, and his eye-picking hand was also thrown aside with a Browning pistol. He was still holding a jade beauty in his arms, and he was also killed with him.

Annihilation of the "eyeball-gouging" bandits Text/Zhao Fushan (newspaper Luo Zhao)

In Zhou Faqian's pocket, people searched for a mimeographed copy of Chiang Kai-shek's secret telegram, which read: "For the villagers who are deeply involved in the communist bandits, those who cannot be reformed are allowed to be killed." ”

After the war, the Kuomintang-run "Haizhou Daily" pondered for a long time and actually made an excellent headline:

"A star in Haizhou fell"

But the wall poem of our military and civilians reads:

"Eliminate Zhou Faqian, light up half the sky"

Zhou Faqian's eldest wife was the daughter of a Kuomintang district chief, and she asked someone to intercede and was willing to exchange two American-made machine guns for Zhou Faqian's body. When the local people found out, they didn't agree. They sent a representative to the regiment commander and said, "If you want a machine gun, we will pool the money to buy it for you." This is the will of the people, and the will of the people cannot be violated. Of course, the machine gun will not be bought by the masses.

In this battle, our 35th Brigade uprooted more than a dozen enemy strongholds and captured 13 light and heavy machine guns. More than 200 enemies were killed and more than 1,300 were captured. Others were seized innumerable. As a result, the regiment headquarters decided to hand over Zhou Faqian's body to the masses for disposal. The result is naturally conceivable, and it will be treated in the same way as others. History's verdict has always been fair.

The blood debt of a basin of eyeballs was finally repaid, and the blood debt of hundreds of lives was repaid. The darkness at the foot of Mt. Daii is over, people see the light again, and those who have lost their eyes feel the light from their hearts. In a period of time, darkness may have the upper hand for a while, but light must overcome darkness, and it has indeed overcome.

Edit: Have fun
