At noon on March 15, 1942, a piercing assembly call sounded over Qihe City, and the Japanese commander loudly announced on the playground: "White light enters the city, the whole city is under martial law, and the house is searched!" ”
Bai Guang, formerly known as Sun Zhenjiang, was born in Qiyu County (now Qihe County, Dezhou City), born in 1919, and joined the revolution at the age of 16. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Bai Guang joined the Eighth Route Army and successively served as the deputy captain of the 3rd District of Qiyu County, the captain of the 2nd District of the Enemy Engineering Department of Qiyu County, and the commander of the independent battalion of the 6th Division of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region.
He is bold and careful, strong in martial arts, and skilled in marksmanship, often going deep behind enemy lines to carry out hoeing and rape tasks, and is known as a "lonely hero". At that time, the Japanese army attacked the base areas behind our enemy lines on a large scale, increased troops to Qihe City, and intensified the "sweeping" in an attempt to wipe out all the anti-Japanese forces in the area in one fell swoop.
In order to grasp the specific strength and movements of the enemy's troops, Bai Guang decided to go deep into the tiger's den alone. His bravery and determination won the admiration and praise of all the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.
Shirakko received information from the underground liaison that the enemy would hold a meeting of 10,000 people in the northwest corner of the city, and he decided to take the opportunity to learn about the enemy. He dressed up as a scruffy man to blend in with the crowd.
At about 8 o'clock in the morning, he came to the Shuangheju Hotel outside the north gate of Qihebei, leaning on the doorpost of the hotel and drinking with his head. From time to time, he looked up at his surroundings, his eyes alert, as if he could see through everything.
At this time, 5 puppet soldiers and 2 Japanese soldiers walked out of the city gate and began to gather people to go to the northwest corner of the city to hold a meeting. After the gates opened, the white light entered the city smoothly and hid in the crowd.
He scanned his surroundings like a radar, observing his surroundings. The venue was heavily guarded, and more than 100 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of puppet soldiers were loaded with guns and ammunition, as if they were facing a great enemy.
A large banner was erected in the center of the venue, on which the words "Public Security Joint Defense Conference" were clearly written. Soon, the meeting began, and Oshima walked up to the stage with his toes proud, stood **, and spoke in Japanese.
The gold-rimmed translator stood aside, groveling in charge of the translation. "Taijun said that the activities of the Eighth Route Army have been rampant recently, which has greatly hindered the 'holy war' of the imperial army.
In order to ensure the safety of the 'imperial people', it is necessary to strengthen the management of public security, and each village must set up a joint defense committee, and jointly defend with nearby villages, and implement the system of joint defense of armor. ”
The interpreter continued: "You should report any suspicious situation to the Joint Defense Committee immediately, and the Imperial Army will be rewarded." Those who harbor the Eighth Route Guerrillas and do not report it will be killed. ”
Bai Guang learned that this person was none other than Oshima, the leader of the Japanese squadron who was sent to the Qi River. The interpreter continued: "Several people have now been sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy, and they will be executed on the spot. ”
Oshima waved his hand, and several Japanese soldiers escorted the people with five flowers and big ties. Among them is a small leader of the puppet army who betrayed us and was won by us, and the others are civilians who provided us with information.
They collaborated with the enemy, their conscience was greatly broken, and they all died! Oshima said viciously. After speaking, he waved his hand, and several soldiers escorted them. However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.
When the puppet army was detained, his eyes met the white light, and he recognized the white light. Because when he plotted against him, Bai Guang was in charge, and when he provided information, Bai Guang was also in charge, and the two were very familiar with each other.
In order to survive, the leader of the puppet army confessed to the translator: "I want to make meritorious service, and the white light of the Eighth Route Army is present." When Oshima heard this, he was ecstatic, but he understood that he couldn't catch it, because there were too many people in the venue, and he would definitely not be able to catch it when the guns rang out.
So he decided to catch the white light quietly. Bai Guang saw that the puppet army and the interpreter who were ** whispered, and he was not shot, he immediately understood everything, he immediately took out his gun and fired a shot in the air, and then shouted loudly: "The Eighth Route Army is coming, run!" ”
There was an immediate commotion in the crowd, and then like a tidal wave, it rushed towards the gate. Oshima didn't make any arrangements, and could only watch as the crowd rushed out of the gate, and the white light mixed in with the crowd and left the venue.
The Japanese puppet army gathered in the city, and Bai Guang was forced to flee, but met the traitor Zhang Junshan on the road. Zhang Junshan used to be a correspondent of the Third District Team, but because he was not used to living a hard life and fame and fortune, he defected to the enemy.
Bai Guang's heart tightened, and he quickly pulled down the brim of his hat and walked straight forward, and the two passed by. But Zhang Junshan suddenly turned around and shouted, "Captain Bai, why are you here?" ”
Come and see a patient! White Light responded. Zhang Junshan's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Then you wait for me here, and after I buy something, I'll talk to you." ”
Bai Guang understood his intentions, and said in his heart, why not use him to escape? So, Bai Guang asked him, "What are you going to buy?" Zhang Junshan said that the father of the puppet army commander was funeral today, and there were still a few things that he had not bought.
Bai Guang said: "In that case, then shall I go with you?" Zhang Junshan couldn't ask for it, so he walked towards the puppet army leader's house with white light. They had not gone far before they saw panicked civilians and puppet armies scurrying around.
The enemy shouted as he walked: "White light has entered the city, search from house to house!" At this time, Zhang Junshan understood the reason why Bai Guang didn't leave, he wanted to tell the secret but didn't dare, on the contrary, he had to protect him, since he had already met, if Bai Guang had an accident, the Eighth Route Army would not spare himself.
Zhang Junshan took Bai Guang to his mother-in-law's house and changed him into a puppet army dress. Bai Guang's younger brother is a puppet army squad leader, so they have several sets of military uniforms at home.
After Bai Guang put on the puppet army uniform, Zhang Junshan's mood stabilized and said to him, "You go to my house to hide for a while." Bai Guang insisted on leaving the city immediately, because he knew that the Japanese puppet army was searching everywhere, and it was not safe anywhere.
So what do you say to do? Zhang Junshan was a little helpless. Bai Guang replied, "I'll go with you to the funeral place." "Isn't that too dangerous? ”
Zhang Junshan asked worriedly. Bai Guang said: "I have my own way, you will know when the time comes." He knew that the enemy's search net had been spread, and there was little hope of getting out of the city during the day.
He planned to wait until it was dark and then get out of town under the cover of night. However, it was only about ten o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early before dark, and the enemy was searching the whole city, and an accident could happen at any time.
Therefore, he decided to follow Zhang Junshan to the funeral scene of the puppet army commander. The two walked all the way to the house of the puppet army commander. At this time, the whole city was searching, but the funeral was still going on, and the scene was mainly the relatives and friends of the deceased, there were no Japanese troops, and there were not many puppet troops.
The wonderful thing is that Bai Guang met another acquaintance here, the puppet army squad leader**. 's elder brother is the squad leader of the third district of the Eighth Route Army, although he wears the ** of the puppet army, but he actually supports the resistance against Japan, and often secretly sends information to the Eighth Route Army.
In order not to be recognized, Bai Guang pressed the brim of his hat very low, and ** did not recognize him. He walked over and said hello, ** was taken aback, and asked, "Captain Bai, why did you enter the city?"
The streets are full of Japanese puppet soldiers, and they are arresting you everywhere! ”
Bai Guang entered the city to inquire about the enemy, not wanting to be recognized by the puppet army, and met the traitor Zhang Junshan on the street, and then followed him. ** Warned him that the devils and the cavalry brigade were numerous, and advised him to hide first and wait for the evening before leaving.
Shirakumi insisted on leaving during the day, asking him how he planned to leave, and had no idea. Bai Guang whispered in his ear and negotiated a plan. At noon, the father of the puppet army commander went out of the funeral, the band played mourning music, and the filial sons wept in grief.
When the funeral procession left, it was blocked by a group of Japanese puppet soldiers, including the puppet army who betrayed Baiguang. Despite the pleadings of the relatives, they carried out a strict inspection of the procession.
However, no matter how carefully they looked, no trace of the white light was found. In the end, the team was able to leave and walk outside the city, while the puppet army who betrayed the white light continued the search with the Japanese puppet army.
After working for a long time, the puppet army suddenly thought that something might have happened, so he returned to the funeral scene with the team. However, when they returned to the scene, they found the body of the puppet army commander's father lying under the bed.
At this time, they realized that Bai Guang probably used a trick to transfer flowers and trees, and lay down in the coffin and left. They hurried to chase the funeral procession, but by the time they arrived at the cemetery, the burial had already been completed.
The Japanese puppet army demanded that the coffin be opened, but the puppet army commander refused, saying that his father had only died once and that he was not willing to let him suffer another torment.
The interpreter said hurriedly: "The imperial army should not be underestimated, and it can only be patient. Despite this, the Japanese puppet army opened the coffin. The scene in front of me was surprising, the coffin was actually empty.
It turned out that Bai Guang arranged for the puppet army squad leader ** and the traitor Zheng Junshan to secretly put the body of the puppet army captain's father under the bed, and he himself got into the coffin. The father of this puppet army commander is over eighty years old, his son was born to a big wife, and it was a concubine who was favored, and their family did not have much family affection with their father.
When the concubine saw the death of her old father, she didn't even shed tears, nor did she go to the spirit, but just pretended to be sad. Their relatives will not go, and outsiders will not go to see the remains.
Because the coffin was placed behind the curtain, the body was moved without anyone being found. The coffin was supposed to be nailed, but once nailed, how did the white light come out? Bai Guang had already placed a knife and axe inside before going in, so it wasn't difficult to figure it out by himself.
When the funeral is held in the local area, when the road is closer, the coffin is carried by people. Due to the distance of the grave of the puppet army captain's father, in order to appear magnificent, the captain also borrowed a car from the Japanese army as a hearse, and there was no one in the car, because no one wanted to be contaminated.
In this way, Bai Guang opened the coffin on the hearse and left halfway. When Bai Guang entered the coffin, he was dressed in filial piety clothes, no one noticed him, and he left peacefully.
Bai Guang, a legendary figure known as the "lone hero", was in danger many times in the Revolutionary War, but he was able to save the day with his improvisable wisdom. His heroic deeds are widely spread in Shandong and are admired.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Bai Guang served as the deputy chief of staff of the Liaocheng Military Division, the Heze Military Division, and the Dezhou Military Division until his retirement in July 1979.
