"This dumb man, it seems that something is wrong."
In 1939, a deaf and dumb beggar in ragged clothes came to a small town in Beiliu, Guangxi, and his actions immediately attracted the attention of Pang Biqing, the leader of the hoe gang.
At that time, the situation of the anti-Japanese salvation movement in the Yulin and Beiliu areas of Guangxi was very grim, and puppet troops, spies, and spies were wandering around, using all kinds of camouflage to wait for an opportunity to sabotage our army's anti-Japanese plan.
Therefore, the members of the hoe gang will have an extra eye for everyone who has suspicious deeds.
Now, how can this mute beggar attract the attention of the hoe gang?
01
In 1937, after the start of the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the CCP also opened up a number of anti-Japanese base areas in Guangxi.
In the summer of 1939, Xiong Jingsheng, the war engineering officer of the Yulin Prefecture, was promoted to the secretary of the Beiliu County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and the leader of the Beiliu War Meritorious Team.
In order to open up the anti-Japanese base area in Darong Mountain, he prepared some weapons and set up an anti-Japanese armed task force.
At that time, on the basis of anti-Japanese guerrillas, the armed engineering team also resolutely cracked down on the exploitation of poor peasants by landlords and profiteers, so it was also regarded as a thorn in the side of the local tyrants, shoddy gentry and traitors.
The geographical location of Darong Mountain is very special, connected by four counties such as Yulin and Beiliu, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.
Therefore, in order to control this area, the Japanese army constantly sent spies to reconnoiter the terrain here and listen to the military secrets of the CCP's resistance to Japan.
However, the armed engineering team was also very vigilant, and they set up the "Beiliu County Hoe Gang" and captured many spies with bad intentions.
In order to avoid the investigation of the martial arts team, many spies changed their disguises and tried to deceive the members of the hoe and traitor group.
One day, the Beiliu County hoe gang received a piece of information that a group of Japanese spies from Guangdong might arrive in Beiliu in the near future, hoping that the hoe gang would attract attention.
These people, most likely, do not appear as normal, but disguise themselves as fools, madmen, beggars, and mix among the common people.
Therefore, for people who are different, hoes and gangsters should pay more attention.
02
After receiving the news, Pang Biqing, the squad leader of the hoe gang, gathered some militiamen and the masses to check the pedestrians passing at various intersections.
That evening, a beggar dressed in a broken sack and carrying a wooden stick came to the checkpoint in Longbei Township, and the militia saw this and immediately stepped forward to block his way.
"Where are you from?" The sentry asked.
The beggar shook his head in confusion, pointed to his ear, and waved his hand, meaning that he did not understand.
The sentry raised his voice: "Where are you going?" ”
The beggar pointed to his mouth again, and then gestured, meaning that he could not speak.
This stumped the sentry, a deaf and dumb beggar, unable to communicate at all, what can I do?
The sentry searched the beggar, but there was nothing but a broken bowl, a matchbox, and a string of copper coins.
In desperation, the sentry had no choice but to take the person to the Longbei Township Office in Pang Biqing and ask if this person should be released.
Pang Biqing saw that this person didn't seem to be suspicious, but when he took the string of copper coins, he suddenly became suspicious.
Although the copper coin looks dirty, the thread on the copper coin is very white, not like an object that has been begging for a long time, but like a new string.
So, Pang Biqing asked someone to take the beggar to a closed room and wanted to interrogate him.
But the beggar is like a dumb man who eats a scale, and he is determined not to speak, and shakes his head like a rattle when he asks anything.
Since he couldn't pry his mouth open, Pang Biqing couldn't do anything about him, so he had to temporarily detain him and send someone to guard the door.
03
All night the beggar sat in the house, as if he had no intention of sleeping.
After Pang Biqing heard the report of the team members, his doubts became even heavier: the beggar sleeps in the open all day long, and he is miserable, and when he encounters a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, he has entered heaven.
But he didn't feel sleepy, this was not an ordinary beggar at all, so Pang Biqing decided to go and see it for himself.
As soon as he walked to the door, suddenly a sigh came from inside the house: "Alas! ”
Pang Biqing was taken aback, the word "alas" was pronounced very clearly, it was not at all a voice that a deaf and mute person could have, this person would definitely speak.
Pang Biqing immediately opened the door and said to the beggar: "Don't pretend, you are a spy!" ”
When the beggar heard this, he immediately let out a frightened expression, and waved his hand again and again as if he did not understand.
Pang Biqing said: "I can't hear the sound, why are you so scared?" You're not deaf at all, and you're not dumb! ”
The beggar was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and remained silent.
Seeing that the psychological defense line of the "beggars" was about to be broken, Pang Biqing no longer interrogated harshly, but said with confidence: "We are all Chinese, why do we do things for the Japanese and bully our own compatriots?" ”
Then, he explained the anti-Japanese principle to this "beggar" again, saying that although being a traitor can gain temporary benefits, if the country falls, all Chinese will become slaves of the Japanese invaders, and no one will be spared.
As Pang Biqing narrated, the "beggar's" face changed from tangled to firm, and finally, he raised his head and said: "I'm not dumb, I was bought by the Japanese!" ”
So, this spy told the purpose and process of his coming here one by one.
But Pang Biqing still has a doubt: "What is this string of copper coins for?" It's new. ”
The spy nodded, saying that this is a communication signal with the devil, and it can also pass on information.
Pang Biqing took out the matches that had been confiscated before and asked, "Is this also a contact signal?" ”
The spy shook his head: "This is for emergency escape, if my identity is revealed and I am hunted down by you, I will burn the mountain or house at any time." ”
"Looks like you've thought it through, huh?" Pang Biqing sneered.
The spy lowered his head and said, "We were all arrested not long ago, and many places were not well thought out, and you still saw through them. ”
04
In the end, the spy confessed who the spy team was and where they were going.
These people will not only play beggars and madmen, but also play the role of hawkers walking the streets and alleys, so when they meet a seller from a foreign country, they may also be people from their organization.
After getting this information, Pang Biqing immediately reported the matter to Xiong Jingsheng, the leader of the Beiliu hoe rape team.
Xiong Jingsheng immediately sent people to various areas to investigate, and finally interrogated more than a dozen spies.
In this way, the Japanese army penetrated deep into the minions of our Guangxi region, and almost all of our party was wiped out.
Unfortunately, in March 1945, Xiong Jingsheng's "People's Resistance Army" was surrounded and suppressed by the Kuomintang authorities, and Xiong Jingsheng was finally captured and died heroically.
Those who made great contributions to the anti-Japanese neutrality still did not resist the slaughter of their compatriots in the end.
Today's prosperous China will never let history repeat itself.
