During the Anti-Japanese War, the Nine Masters were arrested and persuaded by others
On September 17, 1942, at noon, Tugai Pangjia Village, Tongshan Town (now Pangjia Village, Tugai Community, Tongshan, Lukou Street, Jiangning District). Fan Qiping, a scout of the New Fourth Army who was carrying the burden of a merchant, was passing by the east pond of Pangjia Village, when he suddenly heard someone calling behind him: "Hey, come here." ”
Fan Qiping turned his head to look, and suddenly felt a burst of heartbeat, only to see three or five men in black with big knives in hand, pointing knives at him from a distance of about ten steps.
Fan Qiping recognized these people at a glance, they were members of the local reactionary local gang, the Big Knife Society. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the New Fourth Army faced an extremely harsh environment in the Jiangning area, and it not only had to resist the Japanese puppet army's clean-up, encirclement, and suppression, but also had to deal with the open guns and hidden arrows of local recalcitrant troops, bandits, and reactionary gangs.
One of the most difficult and troublesome enemies was the Broadsword Society, which secretly colluded with the Japanese puppet army to openly arrest and kill anti-Japanese progressives. In the face of these dangerous enemies, Fan Qiping forced his composure, turned back with his burden, and asked with a smile: "Fellow, take a look, what do you need to buy?" ”
We don't buy things. The leader of the Broadsword Society took two steps forward, looked Fan Qiping up and down, and asked coldly, "Where did you come from?" I don't think you're a vendor. ”
I'm from Zhufang Village, and I often run around the villages to sell some needles and threads, you must have seen me. Fan Qiping knew that these members of the Dadao Society often made things difficult and checked outsiders, so he deliberately said that he was from the nearby Zhufang Village and wanted to confuse the past.
However, he didn't expect that some of the people in this group would be from Zhufang Village.
I know the people of Zhufang Village! You're lying, and you're certainly not a good person! I think he belongs to the New Fourth Army! Fan Qiping didn't expect to be recognized on the spot, so he was stunned for a while, secretly complaining in his heart, and didn't know how to get out.
Subsequently, the members of the Broadsword Club took out the rope and made Fan Qiping strong. These people were very hostile to the New Fourth Army and would kill them once they were identified. They dragged Fan Qiping to the ravine, ready to cut off his head.
Fan Qiping's heart was like ashes, and he was dragged to death by a group of enemies. However, a farmer who was mwing grass on the edge of a field changed the course of events. Pang Zixi saw the whole process of Fan Qiping**, and when he heard that the members of the Great Sword Society said that it was the New Fourth Army, he immediately became anxious.
He wanted to save Fan Qiping, but with his own strength, he couldn't stop the members of the Broadsword Society holding sharp blades. And they are powerful here, once they are targeted, the consequences are unimaginable.
Pang Zixi was in a predicament, and at this moment, he saw Pang Jiazhong from the same village passing by with a hoe. Seeing Pang Jiazhong, Pang Zixi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Pang Zixi anxiously told Pang Jiazhong that a scout of the New Fourth Army had been arrested by the people of the Broadsword Society, and it looked like they were going to kill someone. He begged Pang Jiazhong to go to Chen Yuanyou for help and rescue people no matter what.
Chen Yuanyou is the leader of the local Anqing Gang, with hundreds of ** under his command, who are willing to give generous on weekdays, and have a certain prestige among the masses and in nearby gangs.
He was not hostile to the New Fourth Army, which was actively resisting Japan, but publicly praised them many times. Pang Jiazhong was Chen Yuanyou's apprentice, so he asked Chen Yuanyou to help rescue the scouts of the New Fourth Army.
Pang Jiazhong immediately put down the work at hand, ran to the door of Chen Yuanyou's house, pushed the door in regardless of knocking, and shouted breathlessly: "Ninth Master, hurry up and save people!" ”
Chen Yuanyou was drinking tea in the house, and was almost frightened by Pang Jiazhong's shouting that the tea cup fell to the ground. He put down the teacup and asked Pang Jiazhong why he was so flustered. Pang Jiazhong quickly told Chen Yuanyou what had happened, and begged him not to die no matter what.
He said: "The New Fourth Army is a good man who fights devils, and we can't just watch them being killed by the people of the Big Sword Society. ”
When Chen Yuanyi heard this, he immediately got up and beckoned, "I can't ignore this matter." Hurry up and spread my word, tell him that I am his **, and let him not act rashly.
I'll be there then. Pang Jiazhong immediately returned, anxious, not knowing whether those people from the Big Knife Society would kill people in advance. His fears were not unreasonable, as the Broadsword Society had originally planned to avoid the hill and then pull people into a depression to kill them.
However, when they saw Pang Zixi coming over, they were stunned. Pang Zixi's subsequent words made everyone fall into thinking: killing this person may bring unpredictable consequences.
Although Pang Jiazhong rushed to ask for help, this did not solve the urgent need, and he had to find a way to delay. At this time, saving people is the most important thing. Pang Zixi walked over hard, pretended to be calm, and then pretended to be kind to dissuade him: "You can't arrest this person." ”
Why? The leader of the Broadsword Club next to him asked with a squinted eye. "I have seen him at the Ninth Master's house, and he is the Ninth Master's person. If you arrest him, the Ninth Master will definitely not give up. ”
Pang Zixi approached the other party and whispered. "Oh? When the other party heard this, he hesitated. But the New Fourth Army was let go, and they were somewhat unwilling. Moreover, Chen Yuanyou is not here, they can be said to be killing by mistake.
When he was hesitating, Pang Jiazhong ran over, and he shouted at everyone: "Stop, he is the apprentice of the Ninth Master, the Ninth Master will rush over now, and he will be there soon." ”
When they heard that Chen Yuanyou was coming, the members of the Great Sword Society suddenly felt nervous, and when it came to seniority, they were all Chen Yuanyou's juniors. However, they really can't swallow this breath when they hand people over like this.
As a result, these members of the Great Sword Society stood in front of Pang Jiazhong, neither letting go nor letting go of themselves, and the scene fell into a stalemate. It wasn't until Chen Yuanyou appeared that this deadlock was broken.
Chen Yuanyou pointed at these members of the Broadsword Society and scolded angrily. These members of the Broadsword Society suddenly lost their confidence, and they didn't dare to respond to a word, so they had to bow their heads and listen respectfully to each other's lessons.
The reason why they are so obedient is that on the one hand, the other party's power makes them scruples, and on the other hand, Chen Yuan has more than a dozen gangsters with guns and sticks behind them, which also makes them dare not make any rash moves.
After Chen Yuan scolded angrily, he asked Pang Jiazhong to take care of Fan Qiping first, and then left. Pang Jiazhong pulled Fan Qiping over, untied the rope in public, and then led him away.
The Broadsword congregation who remained where they were, you look at me, I look at you, had no choice but to slip away in despair.
In the war-torn era, there were countless ordinary heroes who stood up in the dark, and although their heroic deeds are little known, they constitute an important part of the magnificent picture of the people's war.
Fan Qiping is one of them, he recalls the thrilling experience of that year, and still has lingering palpitations: "If it weren't for the help of everyone, I might not have survived." ”
Now, let's walk into the long river of history through the platform of green history and explore the stories of those forgotten grassroots heroes. This is the 223rd article of the Revolutionary Treasures, we look forward to your attention, comments and **, and promote positive energy together, thank you.
