The Red Army hid the old woman's house, and the old woman pointed out that he was here
Wang Shusheng of the Red Army was rescued by an old lady during the escape, and he was deeply glad and grateful, but soon, his mood changed. When the old lady expressed her willingness to reveal his hiding place to the white bandits in exchange for a bounty, Wang Shusheng was shocked because he said, "He is hiding in my house!" ”
Wang Shusheng was born on May 26, 1905, in a small mountain village in Chengmagang, Macheng, Hubei Province, named Xiangjiachong. His grandfather, Wang Decheng, had three brothers, and more than 100 members of their family participated in the revolution over three generations, but only 41 survived.
In this family, the most tragic fate is Wang Shusheng's branch.
By the time the Red Fourth Front Army left the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, Wang Shusheng's relatives had already passed away, some of them died at the hands of the enemy, some died from Zhang Guotao's rebellion, and most of them left before 1928.
However, Wang Shusheng did not flinch because of this, he wiped away his tears, buried his relatives, picked up **, and bravely fought against the Kuomintang reactionaries. So, what makes Wang Shusheng so strong, with firm beliefs and the support of the masses?
In Macheng, Hubei Province at that time, there was a song that circulated: "Which sunflower does not face the sun, and which poor person does not turn to the Communist Party?" Let the white bandits run rampant again, burn my house and rob me of food.
A red heart can't be taken, and the head is broken and the blood doesn't surrender! ”
Wang Shusheng was hunted down by the enemy in 1927 after Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution and went crazy against the Communists. He participated in the Macheng uprising led by our party, but the uprising was quickly suppressed by the enemy, and only 72 troops remained, and they were forced to move to the area of Mulan Mountain in Huangpi County to carry out guerrilla activities.
In the mountains, they faced the difficult situation of being unfed and clothed and blockaded by the Kuomintang troops. As a graduate of a county higher primary school, Wang Shusheng has high hopes from everyone, hoping to find a way to tide over the difficulties.
Wang Shusheng said with a smile: "I will go down the mountain and be sure to solve the problem." The crowd was convinced and agreed to his suggestion. After graduating from high school, he worked as a private school teacher for half a year, and even served as the principal of a local elementary school.
He has a kind personality and easy-going, and has a wide range of contacts in his hometown. Under the moonlight, he embarked on the road back to his hometown. At dawn, he returned to his hometown and began to raise money for the partisans.
He thinks that with his relationships with his friends, he will be able to succeed. However, unexpectedly, many people knew that he was a communist, and participated in the uprising, wanted by the Kuomintang, and they would not even let him in.
There are also people who are polite, but as soon as they hear that it is a donation, they immediately start complaining. They said: "If you are in trouble yourself, we would be happy to help, but you are now raising money for the guerrillas, sorry, we can't help." ”
This reminded Wang Shusheng of the hot and cold world. Despite this, there are still some people who are generous, although the amount is not large, but this warmth touches Wang Shusheng.
Wang Shusheng can understand the reason why others can't help, after all, everyone's financial situation is not very well-off. However, there was one person who made him feel very disappointed. This person's name is Ding Zhenyu, he is the uncle of Wang Shusheng's father, and his family has hundreds of mansions, hundreds of acres of fertile land, five-room concubines, and more than a dozen servants.
He made a fortune by exploiting the peasants and lived a luxurious life, but he didn't even take out a son to help Wang Shusheng, and he also fell into the well and betrayed him.
Wang Shusheng once sneered at this uncle because of his unkindness and injustice. Now, for the sake of the guerrillas, he had to put down his body and personally come to the door for help. Ding Pillow Fish closed his eyes and smoked a big cigarette, and when he saw Wang Shusheng coming, he opened his eyes and closed them again.
He said in a weird way: "Who do I think it is, it turns out that my nephew is here, what wind blew you here?" "Uncle, I'm in a bit of a hurry and want to borrow some money. ”
Emergency? It's a fundraiser for the guerrillas, right? Wang Shusheng didn't speak, just nodded silently in approval. "Only now do I think of my uncle, you looked heroic when you fought the local tyrants. ”
Uncle, just tell me if you have it, I will definitely pay you back this money with interest in the future. Wang Shusheng didn't have time to listen to the other party's cynicism, and said directly.
Now that the nephew has come, how can there be any reason for you to go back empty-handed? Ding Pillow Fish took a puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring and said, "You go to eat first, take a nap after eating, and I will ask the housekeeper to prepare it for you; My uncle didn't have it at hand, so he had to go to the silver number to get it. ”
Wang Shusheng listened to it, so he had to go to the backyard to eat according to the housekeeper's arrangement. However, do tenchfish really go fundraising? Definitely. He was a rich man, and Wang Shusheng's revolutionary behavior touched his interests, and he hated him for a long time.
He decided to betray his nephew and secretly told the housekeeper to go to the Kuomintang county party headquarters to inform. The Kuomintang county magistrate was very happy when he heard this, Wang Shusheng was a wanted criminal, and if he was caught, he could be promoted to an official and make a fortune.
Soon, a group of Kuomintang soldiers rushed towards Ding's house with great vigour.
Wang Shusheng was in the backyard of the Ding family, chatting with the servants of the Ding family, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound from the front yard. He was immediately alert, because the Kuomintang soldiers had already come to the backyard and went straight to the bedroom where he was resting.
More than 30 meters from where he had spoken to the servant, he saw the enemy approaching and understood what was happening before him. The servant also came to his senses and knew that the enemy was coming at the relatives of the owner.
From the conversation just now, he judged that this man was a good person, so he pulled him into the kitchen, pointed to the smoke vent in front of a pot and said, "Quick, get out of here!" ”
Wang Shusheng went out of the smoke exhaust and ran away without looking back. After a while, the enemy also came to the kitchen, went out through the smoke exhaust, and chased after Wang Shusheng.
The enemy was outnumbered, Wang Shusheng didn't dare to fight, so he could only move forward desperately, came to Xizhangdian Village, Macheng County, and entered an alley in a panic. At the end of the day, he found himself at a dead end.
At this moment, the door of a house on the left opened, and an old lady walked out. This old lady's name is Zhou Daiying, she is in her 50s, she has been busy doing farm work for several hours at noon, and she is tired from a lumbar muscle strain, and she plans to take a lunch break.
She had just laid down when she suddenly heard a piercing gunshot. "These white bandits, who have been stabbed with a thousand knives, must be arresting people again. She muttered to herself.
Although Zhou Jiamu is illiterate, she can distinguish between right and wrong. After the Macheng Uprising, the Communist Party fought local tyrants for the poor and divided the land, so that their lives improved. The Kuomintang, on the other hand, only cared about the rich and did not care about the life and death of the people, and only knew how to tax them.
Therefore, with the support of Zhou Jiamu, her husband Wang Liangxi also joined the revolution and became a backbone member. Zhou Jiamu was merciless for the white bandits, but she was full of nostalgia for the Red Army.
Now she felt a little uneasy when she heard the gunshots outside, and was thinking about it, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, she didn't have time to think about it, and opened the door to see what was happening.
After opening the door, she saw Wang Shusheng and felt a little familiar. Ah, she remembered that she had heard Wang Shusheng's speech at the conference, so the young man in front of her should be the Red Army.
She grabbed Wang Shusheng's arm, pulled him into the courtyard, and closed the gate. From the outside of the house**, the family does not look wealthy. Wang Shusheng didn't think much about it, and followed the old lady into the house.
Are you a Red Army? The old lady asked. "Yes, auntie! After hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately hid him in the wall. "Son, don't worry, I won't let the white dog take you away, don't make a noise inside! ”
Wang Shusheng nodded obediently. Before the words fell, the enemy chased after them, but they didn't see Wang Shusheng, and they wondered there: "It's strange, I obviously saw Wang Shusheng enter this alley, why is it gone?" ”
Someone must have hidden it, search! "Wang Shusheng? The old lady remembered that the young man in front of her was the famous Red Army. Wang Shusheng got into the wall, and the enemy naturally couldn't find anything, but they decided that Wang Shusheng was in the village, so they didn't give up and thought of a poisonous plan.
They gathered all the villagers in the village to the village threshing floor, set up machine guns around them, and forced everyone to tell Wang Shusheng's whereabouts. Not only that, but they also asked the chief to beat the gong and shout in the streets and alleys with his throat pulling: "Wang Shusheng, come out quickly, otherwise we will burn down the whole village." ”
Wang Shusheng, hiding and affecting the villagers, what kind of hero is it? One person does things and one person is responsible. "We know you're hiding, tell you, you kid will admit it tonight!" ”
Wang Shusheng, don't you Red Army keep saying that you will fight the world for the common people? You can't bear to lose your head for you? ”
If you can tell where Wang Shusheng went, I will reward you with 50 oceans; If you can tell him where he is hiding, I will reward you with 200 oceans. ”
The villagers were silent, and although they knew it in their hearts, no one dared to reveal the truth, because they knew that justice would come at a price. The head of the security corps was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he pulled a child out of the crowd and threatened that if he didn't speak, he would kill all the children.
The air froze and people were nervous. The head of the security regiment really did what he said and was ready to use the child to open the knife. At this moment, a question came from the crowd: "Boss, will you really give money?" ”
People turned their heads to see that it was Zhou Jiamu. Zhou Jiamu said that a gentleman's words will be a whip, and his promise will definitely be fulfilled. Then, Zhou Jiamu said: "I know that Wang Shusheng is hiding in **.
Everyone held their breath and waited for Zhou Jiamu to say the answer. Zhou Jiamu said: "He is in my home. Everyone was surprised, but Zhou Jiamu said that he didn't know that Wang Shusheng was the Red Army, let alone that he was Wang Shusheng.
The head of the security regiment promised not to blame the past after catching Wang Shusheng, and let Zhou Jiamu lead the way. After hearing this, Zhou Jiamu was relieved and excitedly led the white bandits to his home.
Behind the scenes, the villagers cursed one after another. "Insatiable old woman! "It's really unreasonable to do such a thing for money! "The old lady who looks kind turns out to be scheming. ”
The Red Army will never let her go, just wait and see! ”
Zhou Jiamu was not moved by the words of the white bandits, she ran quickly and led the enemy to the door of her house. As soon as she arrived at the door, she immediately stretched out her finger and whispered to the white bandits: "Wang Shusheng is hiding in the dark, you are in the light, if you break in directly, you will definitely suffer."
Let me go into the house and coax Wang Shusheng out, and you can easily catch him. After hearing this, the white bandit soldier felt that what she said made sense, so he agreed to wait outside, anyway, Wang Shusheng had nowhere to escape.
Soon after Zhou Jiamu entered the house, a young man walked out of the house. When the white bandits saw that this man was barehanded, they surrounded him, pressed him to the ground, covered his head, and tied him up with a lot of flowers.
The white bandits happily captured him, and then killed him to show his head to the public, asking for credit from his superiors. The villagers were saddened by Wang Shusheng's sacrifice and expressed dissatisfaction with Zhou Jiamu, and they would stay away from her after seeing her, and no one wanted to talk to her.
However, after the liberation, the villagers saw Wang Shusheng's name and ** in the newspaper, and realized that they had misunderstood Aunt Zhou. It turned out that the person who was beheaded by the enemy at that time was Wang Zhengdao, the son of the eldest mother.
In that war-torn era, Zhou Damiang did not hesitate to let the enemy stand at the door, and then bravely persuaded her son Wang Zhengdao to pretend to be Wang Shusheng, a Red Army soldier.
This bold decision allowed Wang Shusheng to be safe in the wall, and he was grateful for it, and if he knew that his mother was dying for him, he would definitely stop it. And the enemy didn't know that they had killed the wrong person at the time, and if they knew, they would definitely not let Zhou Damiang go.
However, things did not turn out as they wanted, and they could only make mistakes because they did not want to commit the crime of "deceiving the king". The news of Aunt Zhou's son's disappearance spread among the villagers, and everyone thought that she was worried about the retaliation of the Red Army, so she let her son fly away.
However, this is not the case. It wasn't until Wang Shusheng returned to his hometown to visit relatives after the founding of the People's Republic of China that he learned the truth about his mother's son saving him. He immediately walked quickly to Mrs. Zhou's house, knelt on his knees, and cried bitterly: "Mother, you are my mother, I am your son!" ”
Zhou Damiang's feat of sacrificing her son's life in order to save the Red Army soldiers is still touching to this day. It is precisely because of mothers like Zhou Damiang that our revolution will succeed.
This illustrates an eternal truth: only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world.
