In 1942, a dull gunshot was heard in matian town, an anti-japanese base area behind enemy lines in the Taihang Mountains, where the forward headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was stationed. When the alarmed people rushed to the place where the gunshots occurred, they found That Wang Manxin, a guard of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai, had committed suicide by raising a gun on the bed in his residence.
According to Wang Manxin's fiancée, Wang Manxin committed suicide because he suddenly fell ill and committed suicide with a pistol when his brain was not awake.
However, when Yang Qiqing, the minister of headquarters security, investigated the matter, he found that the incident was not simple, and there seemed to be a great conspiracy hidden behind it, and as the investigation deepened, a conspiracy against Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai gradually surfaced...
Peng Dehuai
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > fiancée from his hometown</h1>
In the Taihang Mountains anti-Japanese base area of Matian Town, there is a courtyard southwest of Matian Village, which is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and not far from the courtyard there is a mill and an irrigation canal leading from the Zhanghe River, which is where the people and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wash their clothes, wash vegetables, and push the mills.
On this day, when Peng Dehuai's guard Wang Manxin was patrolling outside the headquarters, a peasant surnamed Li came to Wang Manxin with a woman with a disheveled face and a bowed head, and said to him: "Comrade Xiao Wang, this girl surnamed Mei said that she was your relative and came to you from her hometown. ”

Wang Manxin took a careful look at the woman, and his eyes were finally fixed on the silver ring on the woman's hand, and he said in surprise: "Sister Mei Fang! The woman raised her head and shouted to Wang Manxin with tears: "Brother! ”
The woman named Mei Fang was Wang Manxin's cousin, and before Wang Manxin went to join the Red Army, his parents arranged for him to be engaged to Mei Fang. When Wang Manxin was preparing to join the army on the road, Mei Fang, who was wearing a silver ring, gave Wang Manxin a sachet she had embroidered herself, asking him not to forget that in the years that Wang Manxin joined the army, he had not been able to go home to visit his relatives, but only kept in touch with letters.
At that time, when Wang Manxin saw Mei Fang again many years later, Mei Fang's appearance changed a lot, plus Mei Fang was disheveled at that time, so Wang Manxin could not recognize her at the first time.

After the two officially recognized each other, Mei Fang cried and told Wang Manxin that the ghosts had carried out a "sweep" of their hometown before, her parents were all killed by the ghosts, Mei Fang was separated from Wang Manxin's parents when they fled, and she had nowhere to go, so she could only choose to turn to her fiancé, so she found out all the way here.
Wang Manxin did not doubt that he had him, and settled Mei Fang in a village not far from the headquarters.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > late-night gunfire</h1>
Since Mei Fang came to the headquarters, Wang Manxin's life has been very different, and this cousin, who is only half a year older than Wang Manxin, is very concerned and caring for him. Because of the special nature of her work, Wang Manxin did not have time to find Mei Fang, and Mei Fang went to the headquarters every few days to help Wang Manxin wash clothes and sew quilts, and every time she came, she would bring Wang Manxin a few salted duck eggs and a bottle of chili sauce.
Soldier of the Eighth Route Army
Mei Fang is a very measured person, knows what to ask and what not to ask, has never asked Wang Manxin anything in the army, she is also very enthusiastic about Wang Manxin's comrades-in-arms, and has helped his comrades-in-arms wash their clothes many times, so she has been unanimously praised by Wang Manxin's comrades-in-arms.
On this night, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army held a military-civilian party, and when Wang Manxin, who was sitting in the last row, was watching the performance intently, Mei Fang walked up to him with a small bag and said, "Brother, your clothes are washed." Wang Manxin looked at Mei Fang and smiled after taking the burden, patted the stool next to him and said, "Sit down and watch the performance." ”
Saying that it was to watch the performance, after the two sat down, no one had the heart to watch the show, Mei Fang put her body on Wang Manxin's body, held Wang Manxin's arm, stared at him intently, Wang Manxin felt hot and wanted to push her away, but somehow could not pull out, had to choose to let it go.
After the military-civilian party, Wang Manxin and Mei Fang returned to their residence.
Eighth route army
Late that night, a gunshot suddenly rang out from Wang Manxin's residence, and when the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who heard the movement arrived, they found Wang Manxin shot down on the bed in his temple, holding a pistol tightly in his hand, while Mei Fang was shrinking to the side and shivering.
According to Mei Fang, Wang Manxin suddenly fell ill not long ago, with a high fever that did not go away, and he was so confused that he took a pistol and waved it around, and then came to his temple and committed suicide.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > Mr. Teaching and "Ancient Literature"</h1>
Wang Manxin was a veteran soldier in the Red Army period, and he had previously helped Peng Dehuai block a bullet, if it were not for the bullet just hitting a copper ink cartridge he carried with him, Wang Manxin would have died heroically long ago, so Peng Dehuai had a deep impression of Wang Manxin. Now that Wang Manxin has been killed, the Headquarters Security Department attaches great importance to this, and Minister Yang Qiqing personally rushed to Wang Manxin's residence to investigate and confirm that Wang Manxin did commit suicide, not a suicide scene disguised by secret agents.
Yang Qiqing did not believe that Wang Manxin would commit suicide because of a fever and confusion, he also knew Wang Manxin relatively well, knowing that this young man was very energetic and his body was relatively strong, how could he be fine at night and suddenly have a high fever? Besides, even if Wang Manxin was really confused, how could he shoot at his temple impartially?
Thinking of this, Yang Qiqing carefully inspected a circle of Wang Manxin's room, and just at this moment, a torn and torn incense bag in the corner behind the door attracted his attention, and from the location where Wang Manxin's body was located, he could not have thrown it in a state of unconsciousness.
Yang Qiqing therefore concluded that Mei Fang was lying, and immediately ordered someone to call Mei Fang, who was in custody, for questioning. After Mei Fang was brought over, Yang Qiqing asked, "Tell me, how did Wang Manxin die?" Mei Fang, who was uncomfortable with Yang Qiqing's look, opened her mouth and said with a red face:
"In fact, when I had a relationship with him in the room just now, I was bumped into because I was not married to him, and he said that this was an 'improper relationship between men and women', and now I was bumped into, I didn't see anyone, and I committed suicide." Originally, I wanted to die too..." Speaking of this, Mei Fang's eyes turned red and shed a few tears.
Yang Qiqing
Yang Qiqing looked into Mei Fang's eyes and said, "Who met you?" Mei Fang, as if she had long known that Yang Qiqing would ask this question, replied without even thinking about it: "I don't know." ”
Yang Qiqing nodded, took out the torn incense bag and said, "That thing is yours, right?" Mei Fang nodded, indicating that this was a promise between her and Wang Manxin. Mei Fang's "thing" word had just been spoken, and Yang Qiqing quickly said: "You and Wang Manxin have such a good relationship, why was the xiangheba torn apart by him?" ”
Fragrant lotus bags
When Mei Fang heard this, her body began to tremble and said, "He died too suddenly, I forgot." ”
Yang Qiqing was more and more convinced that this woman had a big problem, and after he looked at Mei Fang for a while, he said: "Since this is the case, you should go back first, think about it and then tell us that we are also very sad about the death of Comrade Wang Manxin, and you have to mourn." ”
After Mei Fang went back, she acted like a weak woman who had just lost her relatives, it seemed that there was no problem, and Yang Qiqing did not send anyone to find her, as if the incident had passed.
On the morning of the third day after Wang Manxin's suicide, Mei Fangshi walked to the door of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and looked around for a while before walking toward the town.
Mei Fang arrived in town and turned around in a small restaurant, and after about 5 minutes, the 4 coachmen walked in with a smile, sat down at a table farther away from Mei Fang, and then laughed loudly.
Small restaurant
Mei Fang looked at the 4 coachmen with disgust and skimmed his lips, just at this moment, a man dressed like a teaching gentleman walked to the restaurant, looked at the guests in the restaurant, and went straight to Mei Fang's table and sat down. Mei Fang immediately smiled when she saw the man, beckoned the guys in the restaurant to order food, and asked for some wine.
After two glasses of wine were drunk, "Mr. Teaching" took out a copy of the "Ancient Literature Guanzhi" from his arms, handed it to Mei Fang, and said, "Haven't you always wanted to see it?" I bought it for you. Mei Fang took the "Ancient Literature GuanZhi" and put it in a cloth bag, picked up the wine glass and said to "Mr. Teaching": "Dry...
"Ancient Literature and GuanZhi"
Before the word "cup" could be uttered, the two of them were controlled by the guards disguised as coachmen with guns.
After a surprise interrogation of Mei Fang and "Mr. Teaching", an evil plan against Peng Dehuai gradually surfaced.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" >C Battle Plan</h1>
From 1939 to the end of 1941, Peng Dehuai led the Eighth Route Army to inflict a great blow on the Invading Japanese Army through guerrilla warfare on the battlefield behind enemy lines, destroying a large number of Japanese ammunition depots and grain storage warehouses, especially the Hundred Regiments War in 1940, which caused a great blow to the Japanese army's communication line, forcing the Japanese army to suspend the pace of aggression to the south and mobilize the southern invasion troops to return to North China to engage in so-called "public security warfare" and "sweeping."
Battle of the Hundred Regiments
In 1941, under the personal supervision of the Japanese Emperor, Okamura Ningji was transferred from South China to Beiping to serve as the commander of the North China Front of the Japanese army invading China, and Okamura Ningji had only one task: to "eliminate" the Eighth Route Army, the "big trouble" of Japanese imperialism, as soon as possible.
Okamura had been to China since 1915 and was well versed in Chinese culture and geography. As soon as he arrived in North China, he ordered someone to find Peng Dehuai's information and analyze Peng Dehuai.
Okamura Ningji believes that Peng Dehuai is a real mountain warfare expert, with a variety of combat methods, fighting with the Eighth Route Army commanded by Peng Dehuai, as far as possible, do not choose to fight hard, but to "win by surprise." After reaching this conclusion, Okamura Ninji and the commander of the First Army of the Japanese invasion of China, Yoshio Iwamatsu, formulated five battle plans against the Eighth Route Army, all of which were rejected by Okamura Himself.
Thinking about it, Okamura Ninji felt that the first task of the Japanese army was to find the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and eliminate Peng Dehuai, the leader of the Eighth Route Army No. 2 at all costs, for which he formulated the "C Combat Plan".
Okamura Ninji
The most famous of the "C Combat Plan" is undoubtedly the "Mashiko Advance Team", and the main task of the "Masiko Advance Team" is to help the Japanese Kou search for the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, so that the Japanese Kou can mobilize a large army to directly attack the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It was this unit that directly led to the sacrifice of Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army.
However, the "Mashiko Advance Team" still failed to achieve the Japanese army's delusion of "eliminating" the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and although the "Masiko Advance Team" found the location of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, with the support of the people, the Eighth Route Army was like having "clairvoyance and tailwind ears", and soon after the Japanese army moved, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army began to move.
Therefore, Okamura Ningji changed his strategy, and he specially set up a team composed of Chinese, and the members of the team were basically all young students and rural young women in the occupied areas, and this team had a special mission, sneaking into the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army as an individual to seek the opportunity to assassinate Peng Dehuai.

Mei Fang is one of them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > female agent</h1>
Mei Fang and Wang Manxin's hometown was indeed swept away by the Japanese, and when the Japanese arrived in their village, they took the villagers to the barn and forced the villagers to explain the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army.
The 4 old men could not stand the severe torture of the Japanese and were beaten to death by the Japanese, but Mei Fang herself had not been beaten by the Japanese, and asked her if she knew the whereabouts of the Eighth Route Army, so she was put in prison. Mei Fang, who did not know what the Japanese were going to do, began to speculate about how the Japanese would deal with her when she was idle in prison, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she fidgeted like a needle all day.
Japanese
Just when Mei Fang's spirit was close to collapse, a small leader of Japanese secret agents walked into the prison and told her that as long as she was willing to follow her and help the "Imperial Army", then she could let you out and promise you food and clothing. Driven by the survival instinct, Mei Fang chose to give in.
After coming out of prison, Mei Fang became the secretary and lover of the little boss, who took Mei Fang in and out of various high-end dance halls, restaurants, and nightclubs every day, so that Mei Fang experienced a so-called "superior" life, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.
After that, Mei Fang accepted the "special training" of Japan's special high-tech department for more than half a year and became a female agent through and through.
Not long ago, Mei Fang received the instruction to "seduce Wang Manxin and let him find a way to assassinate Peng Dehuai", and with the assistance of Wang Xianlin, the secretary of the Kuomintang district party committee who secretly defected to the Japanese, Mei Fang successfully arrived in Liaoxian (later renamed Zuoquan County), and Yao Sanshou, the habitual bandit who was responsible for covering him, told her that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was in Liaoxian County, and the specific location had to be found by yourself, believing that it would be easy to find wang Manxin's fiancée, and after that, Yao Sanshou left.
At that time, the folk customs were relatively simple, and Mei Fang was indeed the fiancée of Peng Dehuai's guards, so with this special status, she went to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of her compatriots, found Wang Manxin, cheated his trust, and lived near the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The former site of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army
After confirming that Wang Manxin had been "fascinated" by himself, Mei Fang decided to carry out the task entrusted to her by the Japanese. After the military-civilian party that day, Mei Fang told Wang Manxin that she wanted to go to his room and sit down.
After the two entered the room one after the other, sat on the bed and talked for a while, Mei Fang suddenly stood up, walked to the door and looked around, then covered the door and turned back to Wang Manxin and whispered: "You say that you are a big man, waiting behind Peng Dehuai's ass all day, what is the matter with you?" ”
Wang Manxin, who was already a little confused, did not expect that his fiancée who had just looked at him with a shy face would suddenly say such a thing, and after a moment's stunned, he was furious, and he stood up from the bed and walked over to Mei Fang and said: "Mr. Peng is liberated so that our poor people can turn around and be liberated, fight away the Japanese devils and Chiang Kai-shek, live a good life, be born and die for decades, let's serve him as a guard, that is to contribute to the revolution, it is a glorious thing, what is not good?!" ”

Mei Fang rolled her eyes after hearing this, skimmed her lips, and said, "Revolution? Can the revolution be eaten as a meal? You see you are so poor that you don't even have a son, but you are still revolutionary and help the broad masses of the people to be liberated! Not as good as..."
"Why not?"
Before Mei Fang could finish speaking, she saw Wang Manxin staring at herself with an extremely serious look, although her heart was a little weak, but she still whispered hard: "It is better to find an opportunity to kill Peng Dehuai, go to the Japanese to receive a bounty, and let's go away and fly high and live a good life!" ”
Looking at the face that he said that he was going to murder Mr. Peng's fiancée, Wang Manxin felt that she was very strange, and he slapped Mei Fang's face with great anger, and then pulled her hand and said: "You... You wolf-hearted woman with dog lungs! Go, go to the Defense Department! ”
Mei Fang struggled to break free of Wang Manxin's hand, touched her face, and said, "Want to file a complaint with the Eight Roads?" Believe it or not, I told them that I had a relationship with you, and you didn't recognize it, and you wanted the wicked to sue first? See who they listen to! After hearing this, Wang Manxin spat on the ground and said, "What is the relationship between us, haven't you washed my clothes a few times and sent salted duck eggs a few times?" ”
Mei Fang smiled and said, "I told Eight Roads that you forced me to sleep with you, and didn't you Eight Roads have a discipline that says ' don't flirt with women'?" At that time, you will not be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River! ”
Looking at the smiling flowers and branches trembling Mei Fang, Wang Manxin felt a rush of hot blood rushing straight to the brain door, he raised his hand to try to hit Mei Fang, only to see Mei Fang's head said that you dare to do it yourself, wang Manxin, who was extremely angry, took out the incense lotus bag that had been treasured on his body and tore it hard and threw it at Mei Fang, Mei Fang quickly flashed, and the fragrant lotus bag fell into the corner behind the door.
Looking at Mei Fang, who was staring at herself fearlessly, Wang Manxin did not know how to be good, and after turning around the room a few times, he sat back on the bed, he knew that if he did not give Mei Fang a gesture, she would not let go of himself.
The Eighth Route Army was extremely strict in the relationship between men and women, Wang Manxin thought that he did not have enough evidence to prove his innocence, and could not attack the beloved Boss Peng, for his own reputation, for the safety of Boss Peng, Wang Manxin thought that there was only one way, he slowly pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his temple, and then while looking at his former fiancée with a hateful look, he slowly pulled the trigger, a gunshot, Wang Manxin fell into a pool of blood forever.
The third day after Wang Manxin's death was the day when Mei Fang and the secret agent agreed to the joint, and she got up early in the morning to confirm that there was no movement at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army before going to the town to meet the secret agent. What Mei Fang didn't know was that the Eighth Route Army had already set up a large number of dark sentries outside the house where she lived to monitor her every move, so it would arrest her and the connectors at the first time. And in that "Ancient Literature GuanZhi", there is an instruction hidden by the Japanese agents to let her "find a way to retreat on her own".
Soon after, the female agent Mei Fang and her associates were secretly executed by the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Xianlin, secretary of the Kuomintang district party committee who helped Mei Fang infiltrate the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Liu Sanzhu, a large landlord in Matian Town, and Yao Sanshou, a habitual bandit, were arrested by the Eighth Route Army one after another, and after trial by the anti-Japanese democratic government, all three were executed.
Execution of traitors and spies
The suicide case of Peng Dehuai's guards, which caused a sensation in the entire Taihang Mountains, was officially solved, and an assassination operation by the Japanese secret service against Peng Dehuai was promptly eliminated. However, this did not mean that the Japanese Kou stopped the assassination operation against Peng Dehuai, and the Japanese Kou then sent a number of agents to infiltrate the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to prepare to assassinate Peng Dehuai, but they did not succeed in the end, and they were all eliminated in time by the eighth route army's security cadres.
Wang Manxin's death can be said to be a complete tragedy, if he can stand firm in the face of the threat of female agents, take female agents to the Ministry of Defense for debate, justice is in the hearts of the people, and the party organization will return his innocence. However, Wang Manxin's spirit of loyalty to faith is still very admirable.
