"Taihang Wind and Bone" - Yang Yunxi's Memoirs 52 Participated in the struggle for land reform

Because of Li Sheng's rejection, he soon asked me to participate in the land reform in Duzhuang and Wan'anling. The struggle there was very sharp, only five miles from the white wall enemy's stronghold, the enemy's activities on the turret could be seen, and the enemy could be encountered at any time, and the gun was not given, so when walking on the road, his fingers were clasped on the pull ring line of the grenade.

The masses were very apprehensive, and during the day they gave the masses the fruits, and at night they secretly sent them back to the landlords, which shows that here it is not the masses who are engaged in movements, but the cadres who mobilize the masses. The enemy is constantly coming in armed attacks, with the intention of attacking the activists. Li Zhengzhong, head of the land reform group, managed the weapons work, Li Peizhong and I mobilized the masses, combined with the earth and the ocean, and put all the gunpowder cannons in the village outside the village to demonstrate to the enemy, at night in a large courtyard, there was a sentry tower in front, the organization was guarded, and the activists lived here at night, which was relatively safe.

The first time the enemy attacked, we entered the village and fired, and we quickly went out through an opening in the north corner wheat field outside the compound. Then, arrive early on the flat ground on the enemy's retreat, waiting for the enemy to be ambushed, but did not wait. The second time, the enemy attacked again, and the remnants of their society reported our first action. So as soon as the enemy came, he blocked our first retreat and aimed his machine guns at the outstretched out of the compound. "Soldiers are not tired of deception", the first time they did it, the second time they could not use the old method, and at the same time they felt that it was too late to withdraw, so they went to the house to defend and attacked the enemy with firepower.

Comrade Li showed great bravery, firing artillery on it, and I organized and commanded the masses in the courtyard. I wanted to check the movement in the courtyard, and found that a small door in the courtyard was not closed, and it must have been the landlord in the courtyard who had ghosted and opened the door for the enemy, but fortunately the enemy did not dare to come in. The people in the room kept hitting the enemy with grenades and long-barreled artillery. Two or three of the enemy may have been wounded, and the fight was so loud that the crowd carried them away when they saw the enemy retreating. The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the enemy retreated at a loss. At the same time, the Second Company of the Independent Battalion heard that the fighting on the side of Wan'an was very fierce, and fired several shots from outside the pei she village, and the enemy felt threatened from behind and hurriedly retreated.

During the inspection the next day, a small activist of Wan'an (whose name cannot be remembered) was killed by the enemy on the kang at home. He was mainly disobedient, and let him stay in the compound of the working group at night, and he preferred to go back, which was a blow to the mood of the masses.

After a while, he sent me to Liu Yu and my family's Beichi Village, and I felt that it was easier to handle. Some landlords are behind the door and the door, or grandfathers with the same surname. When I went back, I said I was from the county and should take care of it. On the one hand, I publicized the policy, and on the other hand, I asked the village chief Yang Jianhua to preside over the work. The first time the assembly was held, the crowd stared at me to see what I said. I preached a revolutionary truth, the landlord exploited the relationship between the poor, and those grandfathers and uncles rebuked and said: "Just say that you have been doing this for many years?" It means to rebel against them, but the masses say, "Good! Don't look at face. ”

The struggle here is also tense, and there are several enemies living in Sanjiao Village, which is eight miles away, and the Jishan Security Brigade stationed in Sanjiao Fort, in addition, there are pseudo-government personnel who have wandered here, as well as a miscellaneous landlord revenge team. Because of the development of my base areas, I have squeezed all the dirty reactionary forces here. Sanjiao is a large village, with bunkers and mixed forces.

Our village militia has more than 10 guns, commanded by the village chief, an experienced man. Yang Jianhua is the grandfather of my family, who served as a staff officer in the Lishan Army. He often carried a pistol to work. The militia is also very brave and has played a mighty role, and the local local tycoons are afraid of him.

The militia of our village guarded the west side of the new daisy, and they also had to hold it at night. The stronghold of the compound is based on the landlord's house in Yang Cong'an, the center of the village, connecting several courtyards and reaching the West Gate. Mines were planted outside the village, so that the enemy did not dare to attack easily, and many times wanted to strike, but it was always in the future.

After I went, in order to avoid being passively beaten and not to let the enemy know our laws, I pulled out of the village at night to maneuver, leaving a small number of people to guard the high ground, and most people to pull outside the village, sometimes east, sometimes west. Although these enemies are aware, they cannot understand the situation. For example, once my party pulled to the highlands east of the village for an overnight stay, and the enemy knew. We also knew that he knew, so the next evening we changed from the east of the village to the west of the village, and sometimes stayed overnight in the melon field on the way the enemy came, so as not to let the enemy find out, so they never dared to come.
