On the evening of June 30, 1943, in a compound in Dazhao Village, Xinqing County, Hebei Province, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's Jilubian Military Region was holding a meeting. There were 9 people attending the meeting, and the meeting was presided over by Huang Hua, deputy brigade commander of the 6th Brigade and deputy commander of the Hebei-Lubian Military Region.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Huang Hua, who was recording the contents of the meeting with glasses, felt very inconvenienced, and he asked Xiao Li, a guard guarding the door, to borrow an oil lamp. After about seven or eight minutes, the door was pushed open with a "whisper".
It was not Xiao Li who came in, but Zhou Yunfeng, the combat staff officer of the First Division Headquarters.
He came in and first said a few words to Huang Hua, and then greeted him one by one. In order to continue the content of the meeting, Huang Hua said: "Comrade Yunfeng, you should go to rest first, and I will look for you after the meeting." ”
Zhou Yunfeng looked outside the door and said, "Okay, just go, just go." He saw several dark shadows quietly approaching outside the door, so he pretended to walk toward the door, suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "This day is really ..."
Before the words could be heard, several people in cloaks rushed in. Huang Hua immediately sensed that something was wrong and reached for the gun in his waist. Unfortunately, it was too late, and several bandits shot indiscriminately into the house, and all the cadres of the Eighth Route Army who attended the meeting fell in a pool of blood.
A bandit also triumphantly stepped forward, kicked Huang Hua, and then led the crowd away. When they went out, they were catching up with the guards Xiao Li and others who heard the gunshots, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
A soldier threw a grenade captured from the Japanese at them, killing a bandit on the spot. The rest of the bandits saw that the situation was not good, and they fought and ran, and fled into the woods outside the village. Xiao Li did not care about the pursuit and hurried back to the conference room.
Huang Hua
But the scene is already a tragic situation. Huang Hua, deputy commander of the military region, was shot in the forehead and has been killed. Several other cadres were either killed or seriously injured, and Chi Linzhao, a reconnaissance staff officer at the Headquarters of the Third Division, intermittently uttered a few words: "Feng ... crown...... Kui! ”
At this time, the guard company also chased out in the direction of the bandits' escape, but because the weather was already dark, they could not catch the murderer.
This was another vicious incident in which a senior cadre of our army was killed after Xiang Ying was killed by traitors, and the central authorities were extremely shocked and instructed to organize forces to solve the case as soon as possible. Xing Renfu, commander of the 6th Brigade and commander of the Hebei-Lubian Military Region, issued an arrest warrant demanding that Feng Guankui be arrested and avenge the martyrdom.
Soon after, the Jilu border military region captured the traitor Zhou Yunfeng, who had come to explore the way. According to his account, he was indeed instructed by Feng Guankui to come and inspect the situation, but he did not know where Feng was going.
Who was this Feng Guankui, why could he easily enter the headquarters of the Jilu Border Military Region, and why did he kill a senior officer of the Eighth Route Army?
Speaking of Feng Guankui, most of the cadres of the military region know him. He was originally a murderous bandit, and because he was often attacked by regular troops, he really couldn't get mixed up and wanted to join the Eighth Route Army. Of course, the cadres of the military region did not look up to such goods and did not agree to take him in.
But the brigade commander Xing Renfu said: "One more person will have more strength, and we must allow others to progress." He not only accepted Feng Guankui, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and soon promoted him to the commander of the pistol team of the military region headquarters.
Moreover, Feng Guankui violated discipline several times and was also protected by Xing Renfu, and Feng Guankui gradually became Xing Renfu's most favored cadre. Feng Guankui and others also often went to the military region for meetings, and they were very familiar with each other, so when he came this time, the guards did not guard them.
Thinking of Feng Guankui's relationship with Xing Renfu, commander of the military region, some cadres could not help but take a breath of cool air.
Is this related to Xing Renfu? They didn't dare to go any further.
At this time, Luo Ronghuan and Xiao Hua, the leaders of the 115th Division, also thought of Xing Renfu. Because Feng Guankui was a big boss, he and Huang Hua did not have any direct contradictions, and it was unlikely that he alone would plan this assassination.
Armed bandits
And before that, they had received some reports about Xing Renfu. It is said that he cultivated personal strength in the army, passively avoided war, and there were also problems with his personal style. Not so long ago,
The division headquarters originally planned to transfer Xing Renfu to Yan'an to study, but he found various reasons to shirk it, but he was unwilling to go.
But then again, it was far-fetched to conclude that Xing Renfu had instructed Feng Guankui to kill Huang Hua on this point alone.
These disciplinary problems will not cause him to openly assassinate his own deputy,
What's more, Huang Hua was also a cadre sent from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
The key to the problem is to find Feng Guankui. Most of the soldiers and ordinary people in the Jilu Border Region knew him, and he was a well-known local bandit before joining the Eighth Route Army. As long as they are still in the Jilu Border Region, they will eventually be discovered by the masses.
More than 10 days passed, and the leaders of the 115th Division did not wait for any news about Feng Guankui. However, a telegram came from the Qinghe Military Region adjacent to the Jilu Border Military Region.
Although psychologically prepared, the contents of the telegram still shocked the leaders of the division headquarters.
The telegram was sent jointly by the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Sixth Brigade and the political commissar, and the telegram said: Xing Renfu, commander of the Military Region, found Feng Dingping, the commander of the Independent Regiment, and asked him to pull his troops to the island and prepare to surrender to Japan or Jiang.
Feng Dingping was unable to do anything by what he said, and quietly summoned the three battalion commanders and instructors under him to a meeting and said: "Commander Xing asked us to take the troops to the island to defend ourselves..." Before the words could be heard, liu Huchen, the sensitive second battalion commander, stood up with his hand touching the gun around his waist and asked: "Isn't this going to rebel?" ”
At this time, the political commissar, the deputy regimental commander and several other comrades also walked in, and they knew Feng Dingping's thoughts and reprimanded him: "You are too confused, how can you go and be a traitor?" Feng Dingping blushed and did not dare to speak again.
After everyone's education, Feng Dingping agreed to surrender himself to the division headquarters and pretended to go to the island to contact Xing Renfu. Feng Dingping found Xing Renfu and said, "Commander Xing, the brothers have all discussed it and are ready to follow you." You see what to do next. ”
Xing Renfu heard the news and said happily, "When I contact the Japanese, I will inform you where to take the troops." After the two sat down and drank a few glasses of wine, Xing Renfu was even more overwhelmed.
He told feng Guankui to kill Huang Hua.
Feng Dingping returned to the regiment to prepare to report to the division headquarters, but considering that the radio stations of the Jilubian Military Region all used a unified code, it was likely that They would be received by Xing Renfu after sending it, so they could only run to the neighboring Qinghe Military Region to send a telegram.
After Luo Ronghuan and other division leaders learned of this, they ordered the cadres of the independent regiment to take good control of the troops, and on the other hand, they asked people to inform the Jilu border military region. However, the radio could not be used, and if someone was sent to deliver the news, it would pass through the blockade of the Japanese puppet army and also through the defense zone of Xing Renfu's dead party.
It's a big deal and the stakes are not small, so who is the right one to send?
At this time, everyone invariably thought of a female comrade, who was Zhu Ning, the wife of Wang Zhuoru, secretary of the party committee of the Jilu border military region. The man was firm, and going to the military district in the name of finding a husband did not attract much attention.
When Zhu Ning appeared in front of Wang Zhuoru's eyes, he knew that something big had happened, because his wife was recuperating from illness before, and it was impossible to rush to the front line station. Zhu Ning conveyed the intelligence of the division headquarters to Wang Zhuoru and others.
Wang Zhuoru patted his thigh and said, "Well, this Xing Renfu has indeed betrayed, no wonder the comrades in the security department have heard in the past few days that it was Xing Renfu who took Feng Guankui to the island and gave him preferential treatment." ”
Judging from the information from all sides, Xing Renfu had obviously defected, and it was very likely that Huang Hua had been killed at his behest.
Seeing this, the reader may ask why Xing Renfu sent someone to assassinate Huang Hua and then defect? After all, the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army was also a big official position in that year, and if you compare it with the rank system of the Nationalist Army, you can hang the rank of major general.
What deep hatred did he have with Huang Hua?
In fact, Xing Renfu was a progressive youth at the beginning. He was born in 1910 in Yanshan County, Hebei Province, and after graduating from middle school, he went to the old army to serve as a soldier for a period of time and learned some military knowledge. But he felt that the national army was too dark inside, there was no day to emerge, and his heart was very bitter.
In 1929, he was introduced to the Communist Party, engaged in underground military movement work, and embarked on the revolutionary road. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he responded to the call of the organization and organized anti-Japanese armed forces in the area of the old county, and later established the "Thirty-first Guerrilla Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army Einsatzgruppen" and served as commander.
In the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, this unit fought many victorious battles under the leadership of Xing Renfu.
At the beginning of 1938, he led a team to lay down the county seat of Yanshan County, opened a warehouse to release grain, punished traitors, and won the support of the common people. At the beginning of 1939, Xing Renfu led a team to attack Wudi County, annihilating hundreds of Japanese puppet troops, killing the puppet police captain, and capturing the puppet county magistrate alive.
Since then, the thirty-one detachments have also attacked Qingyun County and recaptured Leling County, which has gained great fame in the local area, and many young people have come to join the army.
By April 1938, the force had grown to more than 3,000 men.
Armament has also improved considerably.
Due to his many military achievements, he also received rapid promotions, and in February 1941 he was promoted to the commander of the 6th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and later served as the commander of the Jilu Border Military Region.
Capture of the Japanese army
However, as his position rose and his fame grew, his ambitions gradually expanded, and his ideas began to corrupt. The requirements for themselves are becoming more and more relaxed, and they are not willing to live a hard life anymore, and they no longer go to the front line to command when fighting.
Originally, he already had a wife and children, but he ignored discipline and accepted a female member of the propaganda team as a little wife.
In 1942, the Japanese puppet army carried out the largest "sweep" of the Jilu border military region. Okamura Ninji personally sat in Dezhou, mobilized more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops, and carried out a "dragnet encirclement" of the Eighth Route Army's base areas, implementing the cruel "three lights" policy everywhere he went.
In order to break the enemy's "sweep", the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the local people fought heroically with the enemy, but their own losses were also relatively large.
More than 300 people, including Du Zifu, political commissar of the military region, and several other important cadres and other soldiers died.
Although the Pacific War had already broken out by then, the world anti-fascist war had reached a turning point. However, the short-sighted Xing Renfu could not see this, but was frightened by the "sweep" of the Japanese army. Some people, after having status or wealth, become extremely caring for their lives, and Xing Renfu is such a person.
At that time, the military region was extremely difficult, and the soldiers were all saving money and fighting in blood. However, xing Renfu ignored the repeated persuasion of the cadres of the military region and found a small desert island (Wangzi Island) to overhaul the fortifications and houses on it. Take your little wife to live in, eat and drink, and pursue enjoyment.
At this time, he actually had the idea of surrender in his heart.
And for the management of the troops, he is keen to pull the mountain,
It is believed that Ji Lubian was single-handedly fought by him, and he tried to turn the troops into private property.
Plant cronies everywhere and cultivate forces. The division headquarters had sent a group of old Red Army members to carry out political work, but they were often ostracized and slandered by him.
To this end, the party committee of the military region held many meetings to help Xing Renfu, and Wang Zhuoru severely criticized him. Xing Renfu was criticized for crying bitterly at that time, saying that he wanted to change his past wrongs, but it was not long before the old problem was committed again.
The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent Huang Hua as the deputy brigade commander of the 6th Brigade. Huang Hua was an old Red Army cadre who had gone through the Long March, had a firm political stance, a good work style, and was able to write and fight. As soon as he arrived in the military region, he led his troops to fight several victorious battles and captured a large number of weapons and supplies. Coupled with his hard and simple life, approachable,
Soon won the support of the cadres and soldiers of the military region.
However, this caused dissatisfaction among Xing Renfu, who believed that Huang Hua had been sent by his superiors to fight for power and often spread rumors in the army.
Saying that Huang Hua was a "southern barbarian" came to "squeeze out local cadres to fight for territory" and stir up everyone's relationship with Huang Hua.
In order to completely eradicate Xing Renfu's problems, his superiors decided to send him to Yan'an to study. Unexpectedly, after Xing Renfu received the notice, instead of thinking that the organization was saving him, he thought that Huang Hua was behind the scenes and wanted to drive himself away.
On the left is Xing Renfu
Xing Renfu first used the excuse to delay the time to go to Yan'an,
Later, he simply vented his anger on Huang Hua and killed him.
Xing Renfu found a few of his cronies and said, That 'Southern Barbarian' wants to me, and when I leave, you have all become childless children, and it will be difficult to have a head start in the future. ”
Several of his cronies asked, "So what?" ”
Xing Renfu had a fierce light in his eyes and said, "If there were no military cadres in the military region, my superiors would not have transferred me away, and as of now, the only way to kill Huang Hua is to kill me..." So a brigade commander's criminal plan to assassinate the deputy brigade commander was released.
In their view, the killing of Huang Hua could be used as a greeting gift for the surrender of japan, and second, it was convenient for them to control and take away the troops.
After finding out Xing Renfu's crimes, the military region laid out an arrest plan. Considering that Xing Renfu still had a group of cronies hiding on the island, and the warriors on the island were unaware of his crimes. In order to avoid causing internal chaos, being used by the enemy,
The military district decided to lure him out for a meeting and then arrest him.
The party committee of the military region informed Xing Renfu to go to Wangjia Village for a meeting, and the cunning Xing Renfu was a thief after all, so he did not go directly to Wangjia Village, but to another village 10 kilometers away from the place.
Upon hearing the news, the military district decided to send two companies to round up and told them to avoid using knives and guns as much as possible so as not to hurt their own people. When the warriors arrived at Xing Renfu's location, it was just dawn, and they quietly copied them from the four breads.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Aizhi, the commander of the hidden traitor and the commander of the 4th Company, suddenly shot 3 shots in the air.
As soon as Xing Renfu heard the gunshots, he suddenly felt bad, and even his clothes were too late to wear, and he plunged into the sorghum field. On the way, he saw a scout riding a donkey and told him that there was a situation. Unaware of this, the scout ceded the donkey to Xing Renfu.
In this way, Xing Renfu escaped on a donkey, and that Wang Aizhi also took advantage of the chaos.
Xing Renfu fled too hastily, and many documents in the village were too late to take away, leaving evidence of his crime.
Among them was a manuscript he wrote to the Japanese army in Cangzhou, which revealed important information such as the permanent residence of the leaders of the military region.
At this time, some of the fighters stationed on Wangzi Island were still unaware of Xing Renfu's rebellion, and the party committee of the military region decided to expose Xing Renfu's crimes to the soldiers and people of the whole region while sending Fu Binghan, political commissar of the Maritime Special Task Force Regiment, to the island to do work.
Fu Binghan landed on Wangzi Island in the name of "giving it to Yang", but Xing Renfu had already informed his cronies on the island and sealed the news tightly.
As soon as Fu Binghan landed on the island, he was put under house arrest by Xing Renfu's cronies.
When Fu Binghan found the opportunity to urinate, he found a trusted cultural teacher and told him the news of Xing Renfu's rebellion. Subsequently, the cultural teacher informed his trusted people of the news.
They fled the island that night, with fewer than a hundred people left.
Later, they learned that when Xing Renfu went to contact the Japanese, he said that he had three or four thousand people, but the Japanese had to order the number before they would give military salaries and official positions. Xing Renfu saw that he could not deceive them, so he thought of defecting to the Kuomintang.
He ran to Tianjin to make contact, and when he returned to the island, he saw that there were less than a hundred people left, and his nostrils were smoking.
Most of the remaining fighters on the island returned to the army after learning about it, and Xing Renfu, a traitor, could only take his little wife and a few cronies to the Kuomintang. But nothing good awaits them.
Xing Renfu later assumed the pseudonym Luo Zhen and became the security commander of the Second Special Bureau of Hebei Province. He was arrested during the liberation of Tianjin in 1949 and shot after examination. Feng Guankui, who killed several important cadres, first defected to the Japanese and then was capricious. The Japanese saw that he was unavailable and solved him with a bowl of poisoned wine.
The traitors have all been given their due fate, and the cadres who sacrificed their lives should also be remembered by the people. Huang Hua's sacrifice was a great loss for both the people of the Jilu Border Military Region and the Eighth Route Army. In October 1945, at the request of the local people, Xinqing County in Hebei Province was renamed Huanghua, which was to commemorate Huang Hua, deputy brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army's 6th Brigade, who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
