Join the anti-Japanese ranks

------------------------------------

During the Ming Yongle period, the Tiemen Wang clan moved to Tanbu Village, Mengyin County, the capital of Qingzhou, "Yunmeng moved, Dongyuan Faxiang", and his later Wang Xian served as the shangshu of the military department three times during the Zhengde and Jiajing years, resisting foreign humiliation and sharing worries for the country. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a number of martyrs appeared in his family, throwing their heads and spilling blood to resist the Japanese Kou.

In July 1937, Hou Xinzhai (1907-1942) graduated from the Shandong Provincial First Normal School, returned to his hometown of Dahouzhuang, the second district of Dongping County, joined the Chinese National Liberation Vanguard ("Minxian"), and secretly joined the Communist Party of China in the spring of 1938, leading the anti-Japanese activities in the second district of Dongping County. 【4】

Before the national uprising, Wang Ruichen and Wang Ruigang secretly participated in the anti-Japanese organization in The Second District of Dongping County.

Wang Ruichen and Wang Ruigang are cousins, Wang Ruichen was born in February 1922, Wang Ruigang is slightly older than Wang Ruichen, and the two just turned 15 years old in March 1938. Wang Ruichen has whiter skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, less than one meter and eight height, fat and thin moderate; Wang Ruigang is about one meter eight tall, has a broad personality, and has a large figure. Both of them were just married a few years ago, and the bride's family married to Wang Ruichen was Niujiazhuang in the Northwest Wuli Mountains, 16 years old, when the soldiers were in chaos, bandits, the Red Gun Society, the Kuomintang and other forces were complex and complex, social turmoil, in order to have a dependence on the early marriage; married to Wang Ruigang's bride's family in the south twenty-five miles north bank of the Daqing River, 18 years old, the family is still well, but the Daqing River flooded, the more than ten earthen houses in the depression were all washed away, the whole family was almost washed away by the water, fortunately the boat was pulled to the shore by the neighbors. Afraid of flooding, he married into the mountains to avoid the suffering of flooding.

On March 3, 1938 (the second day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the day when the dragon looked up), Wang Ruichen and Wang Ruigang, two grooms who had been married for just one month, disappeared at the same time, but the family and the two brides were anxious, although they were married, after all, they were two children who had just turned fifteen years old, the soldiers were in chaos, whether they were kidnapped by bandits, or went to join the bandits, whether they went to Bennan Township (Dongwen Self-Defense Force), and later inquired from many sources, it turned out that Wang Ruichen and Wang Ruigang secretly participated in the anti-Japanese organization in the second district.

The two brides heard that the groom ran to join the anti-Japanese team, as the old women only wanted to find a way to live with peace of mind, it was understandable that they were sad and sad and tearful. At that time, Wang Ruigang's family was still well-off, there were fifty acres of good land, the family had a mill, they had raised solitary cattle for many years, they hired short-term workers when the farmers were busy, Wang Ruigang was the eldest in the family, he needed to take care of the family, plus his father, who had just finished marriage, felt that he could not stand his relatives in Nanxiang, because the policy was more flexible at that time, he sold the two acres of good land in the south of the family as a fund to support the anti-Japanese resistance, so Wang Ruigang returned home.

Wang Ruichen continued to carry out anti-Japanese activities with the party's anti-Japanese armed forces, and at that time, the Kuomintang Shandong Provincial First District (Taixi) Special Office also carried out anti-Japanese activities in the area of Timen, Flower Basket Shop, and Dongxigouliu. On August 17, 1938, Dongping County fell, when the environment of the War of Resistance was quite complicated, in addition to Japanese agents, traitor agents, there were also bandits, Kuomintang, Red Gun Society and other forces, and even sometimes the enemy and the enemy are inseparable, can not openly expose their identities, so even parents, wives and family members can not tell, the action should be absolutely confidential Once discovered by the enemy, not only is my life in danger and the life of the whole family is difficult to protect, there have been cases where some people have been accused of secrets, arrested, and killed because they inadvertently exposed their identities in exchanges and conversations. Wang Ruichen often stayed in the same room with people on missions, whether the other party was a familiar person such as relatives and friends or a stranger he did not know, he paid great attention in the conversation. At that time, the branch composed of three Communists could, in an emergency, order the hoeing team to carry out the task at night to shoot a traitor, a landlord, a bad element, a traitor, and so on.

Wang Ruichen officially became a member of the second regiment of the sixth detachment of the Shandong column (hereinafter referred to as the sixth detachment). On December 27, 1938, Comrades Zhang Jingwu and Li Yu led a large number of cadres and radio stations from Yan'an via Taixi to Huangya in the Dafeng Mountains, where they met with Zhang Beihua, Duan Junyi (according to some sources that Dong Junyi), He Guangyu, Wanli, Sun Guang, Ma Jikong, Li Guanyuan, Yu Huichuan, Li Wenfu, Chen Boheng, Liu Xing, and other comrades, conveying the decision of the Party Central Committee to merge several units in Taixi into the sixth detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, appointing Liu Haitao as commander, Zhang Beihua as political commissar, and He Guangyu as deputy commander. Ma Jikong was the chief of staff, Li Guanyuan was the director of the Political Department, and Cheng Chongyuan was the minister of supply. There are four regiments, one special service battalion, and three independent battalions. Wang Ruichen and the cadres and fighters all wore brand new 'Eight Roads' armbands.

Wang Ruichen's team was organized into six detachments and two regiments, and the second regiment was responsible for the struggle against the enemy in the three counties of Changqing, Pingyin, and Dong'a. After the establishment of the Pingyin County Committee of the Communist Party of China, the six detachments and the special service battalion were transferred to the area of Dongdonggouliu and Hualandian in the north second district of Dongping City, which is the junction area between Dongping and Dong'a counties. In order to open up the work here, two companies of the special service battalion moved to the vicinity of Dongping County to attack the enemy puppet army and cover up local work." 【5】

In order to train political and military cadres of the troops, the six detachments immediately established the sixth detachment of the military and political cadre school, and Ren Zhongyi and Feng Lejin served as principals and political commissars respectively. The military and political cadre school held two training classes in Pingyin Pozhuang and Dongping Persimmon Garden, training more than 500 people, and some comrades joined the party in the training class. Duan Junyi, Wan Li, Liu Haitao, He Guangyu, and others all went to give lectures or give guidance.

In December 1938, six detachments and three regiments stayed under the trap to stop the invading Japanese puppet army.

In January 1939, Wang Ruichen's six detachments and two regiments mobilized thousands of people on the Dong'a-Pingyin highway, destroying more than a dozen sections of the highway, reaching more than 20 kilometers long. They also ambushed the troops on both sides of the road, and by surprise, killed more than thirty enemy cavalrymen and obtained dozens of war horses.
