During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the hooves of the Japanese Kou trampled on our Chinese land, hurt our countrymen, and wrote their sins in this sacred land. But in this process, a number of Chinese sons and daughters have emerged, who have killed themselves and sacrificed their lives for righteousness. For the sake of national righteousness, he will not hesitate to sell his wealth until he pays for his life, but also in exchange for the Chinese of Guotai Min'an. And the resounding name of the railway guerrilla once resounded throughout the land of China, which made the Japanese Kou feel frightened.
Speaking of railway guerrillas, this familiar name. Most people know him through film and television dramas. Today, let's talk about what the railway guerrillas were like that were remade into film and television dramas.
Lunan Railway Brigade
On March 18, 1938. Zaozhuang in Shandong was occupied by the Japanese. In zaozhuang, which was occupied, the people suffered a lot. Loot, rob, kill, set fire to, rape women at will. They do nothing wrong. And this time there is a pair of eyes that have been watching all this. This person is Liu Jingsong, the young treasurer of the Qingfeng Medicine Shop in Zaozhuang.
Liu Jingsong has another identity is the underground party of the Ccp. Before Zaozhuang was occupied, he was responsible for zaozhuang's underground intelligence work. However, since the occupation of Zaozhuang, the underground communication station was completely destroyed by the Japanese, and under their surveillance, Liu Jingsong had completely lost contact with the organization.
However, Liu Jingsong's behavior towards the Japanese Kou had reached the point of intolerable. So he decided to go out to find an organization and form an anti-Japanese team, and he couldn't sit still. Liu Jingsong, who had this idea, thought of his two brothers with different surnames. Liu Jingsong, who was originally an underground member of the CCP, originally had no friends, but he had two brothers, Namely Wang Zhisheng and Hong Zhenhai.
These two men were miners at the mine. Once when Liu Jingsong was treating Wang Zhisheng's illness, the two chatted very speculatively, and Liu Jingsong admired Wang Zhisheng's true disposition. Subsequently, Wang Zhisheng introduced his good brother Hong Zhenhai to Liu Jingsong. Since then, the three have become brothers with different surnames.
In normal times, when several people chatted together, Wang Zhisheng and Hong Zhenhai had already expressed their hatred for the Japanese Kou. Eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood. Therefore, Liu Jingsong found the two brothers, directly confessed his identity to them, and also said his thoughts. They immediately got a response from the two brothers, who immediately expressed that they wanted Liu Jingsong to bring them along, and they very much wanted to go to the front line, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and avenge the death of their hometown fathers and elders.
So the three of them hit it off. Subsequently, Liu Jingsong sold the family's medicine shop and several acres of land. I set off with money and my brother. They first contacted Wang Fugen, a member of the Chinese Communist Party, and under wang Fugen's guidance, they found the tomb hill where the Lunan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army was stationed.
Here, several brothers began to receive military training. Wang Zhisheng and Hong Zhenhai, who were already physically strong, had become qualified warriors within a few days.
Next, becoming a qualified warrior, the brothers ushered in their first mission. Organizationally, they were allowed to return to Zaozhuang to establish an underground intelligence war. Although they did not achieve their goal of going to the battlefield, for the sake of the overall situation, the brothers obeyed the organization's arrangement and returned to Zaozhuang in Shandong in October 1938.
After returning, the two took cover as porters. Collect various intelligence from the Japanese in Zaozhuang and then smoothly pass the information to the organization. This made a great contribution to the organization of the war of resistance.
Liu Jingsong also received a new order. It is to form the Fourth Anti-Japanese Brigade in Feng county. The person who gave this order was Du Jiwei, the political commissar of the future Fourth Brigade. Therefore, in February 1940, Liu Jingsong, who was then the secretary of the second district party committee of Feng County, summoned two good brothers and expanded the anti-Japanese fourth brigade. And officially renamed the Lunan Railway Brigade, which was later known as the Railway Guerrilla.
He appointed Du Jiwei as political commissar, Hong Zhenhai as captain and Wang Zhisheng as vice captain. It was subsequently merged with two nearby railway forces. Since then, the Lunan Railway Brigade has been initially established.
After the establishment of the Lunan Railway Brigade, it was mainly responsible for destroying the enemy's railway transportation lines and preventing the enemy's material transportation. Buy time and strength for the War of Resistance Against Japan on the front line. However, what the railway brigade did next became a thorn in the flesh of the eyes of the Japanese Kou, and it stung them all the time.
It was the winter of 1940. Affected by heavy snow, Zaozhuang was exceptionally cold. As a result, the transportation of supplies for our army has become more difficult. Therefore, the Japanese Kou wanted to carry out a large-scale sweep against our army at this time. It is conceivable that the losses brought by such a sweep to our army are immeasurable.
After Receiving the news, Liu Jingsong tried to pass the message to the organization on the one hand. On the other hand, he was also considering what to do to stop the enemy's plans. So he found Du Jiwei and others, and everyone sat around to discuss how to do the big ticket thing!
In the end they had their own decisions. Before dawn, they appeared at the west gate of Feng County disguised as porters. There were 7 or 8 of them in their group. Each person carried two bundles of sorghum stalks on his body. They are not very old, they seem to be so spirited and calm.
Not long after, only a muffled sound was heard at the city gate slowly opening, and a few Japanese soldiers came out of it lazily. And the people who were lined up outside the door began to prepare to enter the city. When they were about to check them, Liu Jingsong, who was at the front, greeted them with a direct smile, handed cigarettes to the Japanese soldiers, and after a operation, they smoothly entered the city.
At this time, their sorghum stalks hid pistols. Once discovered by the enemy, then several people will definitely have to worry about their lives.
Before a few people had time to rest after entering the city, they heard a siren. At this time, the Japanese army was searching the whole city. And Liu Jingsong just saw a black lacquered door. It's the police chief who lives here. So Liu Jingsong had a plan, and directly took the person to knock on the door of the bureau chief's house.
Fortunately, the director was not at home at the time, but the director's wife recognized that this was Dr. Liu, who had come to see the doctor before. So he quickly invited a few people into the house. In this way, several people changed their costumes in the director's home and dressed up as pseudo-military policemen.
Then they walked out of the door with a big wave and came to the city gate. However, at this time, the city gate was already controlled by the Japanese army. It's not so easy to get out of town anymore. Liu Jingsong has a plan in mind, then it is better to start first. After confirming their eyes with the brothers, several of them went straight to the Japanese army. Liu Jingsong performed a standard military salute, and before the Japanese army could react, he pulled out a pistol and directly killed the Japanese soldiers. Subsequently, several people made a quick decision, and after eliminating these Japanese soldiers, they quickly withdrew.
This battle made the Lunan Railway Brigade famous and also bought time for the base area.
After that, the Japanese sent several troops to find the railway brigade and wanted to get rid of them. However, it has not been able to do as the Japanese army wished.
In the winter of 1941. Our army's uniform factory in the Lunan Military Region was destroyed by the enemy, so it was impossible to produce cotton clothes and quilts. This is something that cannot wait for soldiers on the front line. Many fighters have been frostbitten and even killed. So this situation cannot wait any longer.
So an order was given to the Lunan Railway Brigade. I want them to get some cotton coats and quilts. At this time, Hong Zhenhai received the news that the Japanese military supplies were about to pass through Shagou Station. The supplies in this military supply were quilts and cotton clothes.
The station manager of Shagou Station happens to be a Communist Party member, so it is really like a tiger. This train must be hijacked! Then Hong Zhenhai took a few guerrillas, touched the train in the middle of the night, and silently unloaded the enemy's two carriages.
It was more than a thousand cotton pieces, hundreds of sets of military uniforms, blankets and other daily necessities in these two carriages that solved the problem of our army's wintering.
Although the railway brigade brought heavy blows and damage to the Japanese army. But it is precisely because of this action that the position of the railway team members is gradually exposed. Riko had locked the position of the railroad team members.
A cold night in December 1941. The railway team led by Hong Zhenhai was attacked by the enemy. However, Hong Zhenhai was not in danger, and while commanding the troops to withdraw, he led several team members to return the attack and cover.
In the process, Hong Zhenhai was violently attacked by the enemy, and bullets were fired like raindrops. Hong Zhenhai was unfortunately shot and killed during the counterattack. He was only 31 years old.
After that, the railway brigade continued to move forward. When the Japanese army surrounded and suppressed Weishan Lake, they pretended to be The Japanese army to take the lead in breaking through a gap in the enemy army. Only in this way did the soldiers of Weishan Lake break through this breakthrough and save our troops.
And the railway brigade has escorted Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi, Xiao Hua and other leaders. Protecting the main soul of our revolutionary forces.
In 1945, the Japanese army was defeated, and after the defeat, the Japanese army actually surrendered to the Lunan Railway Brigade in Zaozhuang, which shows the weight of the Lunan Railway Brigade in the hearts of the enemy. In December of the same year, the Lunan Railway Brigade was reorganized and the Lunan Railway Bureau was formed. Finally, it was incorporated into the 47th Division of the LuZhongnan Army.
After the founding of New China, they should have enjoyed the fruits of success, but they chose to continue to serve the country. They went to the front line of the country's coastal defense and stayed on the isolated island for decades. They dedicated their lives to the liberation of the motherland and the peace of the people.
To this day, most of the original railway crew members have passed away. Mr. Li Hongjie, as a member of the original railway brigade, is also more than 90 years old. Let us wish this old hero happiness and health in his old age!
epilogue:
Born to Chinese, they embarked on the road of defending the country! Along the way they never flinched. In the face of the great national righteousness, they bravely marched forward, and in the face of the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou, they sold their property only to obtain the sharp blade in their hands, and one day they could stab the chest of the enemy. They serve the country and the people until the last moment of their lives! Great warriors, the motherland's present day is what you have bought with your lives! As a descendant, we will never forget! Forge ahead!
