Zhang Yue, who died heroically in prison, was tortured by the enemy in every way
Zhang Yue, formerly known as Yang Biqing, was born in 1917 in a landlord family in Laowangzhuang, Yutian County, Hebei Province. In high school, she often communicated with her cousins Nie Ke and Han Lin to jointly lead the revolution.
Under the guidance of her cousin, she realized that the cruel exploitation of the landlord class and the frenzied plundering of the Japanese invaders had bankrupted many peasants and made them miserable. As a result, her resentment towards her family grew stronger and her indignation at the invasion of China by Japanese imperialism grew.
One day, when she entered the city, when the Japanese devils were on their way, the traitors and minions invited the people to bend their knees to the invaders, but she resolutely refused and said loudly: "A Chinese who kneels down to the invaders has lost his revolutionary integrity." ”
After speaking, he strode away, showing the backbone and heroism of the Chinese. In January 1942, Comrade Zhang Yue turned his back on his landlord family and bravely embarked on the revolutionary road, defying difficulties and obstacles.
Under the introduction of Comrade Lu Tuo, she worked in the second district of Feng, Yu and Zunlian counties, she was loyal to the party's cause, enthusiastic about revolutionary work, and always hurried, as if ready to go into battle at any time.
Soon after, she was married, but just a month after the wedding, her home was searched by the enemy. However, she regarded the interests of the party as the supreme and took pride in her hardships, and gladly accepted the party's decision to open up the work of the new area.
When she said goodbye to the villagers, the villagers saw her off with tears in their eyes and asked her to make greater contributions to the party's cause in her new combat post.
At the most difficult moment of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japan, a woman with firm conviction bid farewell to her fellow villagers and lovers, broke through the blockade, and came to the enemy-occupied area alone.
She fought to the death, adhered to her beliefs, and interpreted the backbone of the Chinese with practical actions. However, just as she was about to report to the district chief, she was surrounded by a group of spies.
Comrade Zhao Xianzhang made a quick decision and shot and killed the captain of the special service who rushed to the front, but unfortunately, he was also seriously wounded. Zhang Yue is outnumbered, ** her heroic behavior has deeply touched every Chinese, and her spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
On the way back to Linxi, Zhang Yue recalled that she had caused losses to the party as soon as she arrived in the new area, and she made up her mind to escape, and finally managed to escape and rescue Zhao Xianzhang when the enemy was changing shifts for dinner.
She realized that working in enemy-occupied areas required more concealment and boldness, and succeeded in establishing an anti-Japanese secret organization, and the anti-Japanese sentiment of the masses quickly rose, frightening the enemy.
The enemy regarded her as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh and wanted to get rid of her, but one day in August 1942, they again surrounded the former He Jiazhai and tried to capture her.
In that special historical period, Du Chunying did not hesitate to fight against the Japanese invaders in order to protect the anti-Japanese cadre Zhang Yue. The room was full of spies, and the spy Zhou Shichang, under the guidance of the traitor Wang Huanyou, slammed the door of Du Chunying's house, Xue Qinggang bravely opened the door, and he was not afraid of the muzzle of the spies.
Du Chunying firmly said that Zhang Yue was her own sister, and even if she was brutally tortured, she did not reveal any information. In order to protect Zhang Yue, Du Chunying's lover Xue Qing was also forced to endure torture, but he always firmly defended Du Chunying's lies.
In the end, the Japanese invaders did not get anything from the mouths of the masses, because they deeply felt the power of the people and the firm conviction of the revolutionary cadres.
The agent asked her, "Are you the Eighth Route Army?" Zhang Yue replied firmly: "No! Then he asked, "Are you from Hejiazhai?" She said, "No, I'm coming to see my sister!" ”
The enemy was annoyed and barked: "You are obviously the Eighth Route Army, why do you say it's not?" The enemy was so angry that he took brutal measures against Zhang Yue, first punching and kicking, and then whipping him with a leather whip, and actually stripped Zhang Yue's clothes and burned them in an inhumane manner.
The revolution is true, the hero's fighting spirit is strong, and the four spies directly interrogated Zhang Yue from 2 o'clock in the afternoon to 6 o'clock. During the four-hour interrogation, the enemy used torture rare in the world against Comrade Zhang Yue, but all he got was a few words: "I am a Chinese, I am a common man, you are not Chinese but beasts!" ”
The spies were helpless, so they had no choice but to imprison Comrade Zhang Yue, and on the way to escort him, Comrade Zhang Yue thought as he walked, and in order to drive out the Japanese invaders and establish a new China, I must do everything possible to get out and eliminate all these devils.
With a fixed mind, when he walked to a peanut store, Zhang Yue had an idea and said, "I'm thirsty." Zhou Shichang, the spy who escorted her, led her to the peanut stack to drink water, an old chef saw Zhang Yue covered in bruises, and poured a bowl of hot water for Zhang Yue with heartache, Zhang Yue was thirsty, she was looking forward to seeing the villagers, Zhang Yue was drinking water, she wanted to destroy the enemy!
She stood by the water tank, staring intently at the activities of the spy Zhou Shichang, only to see the spy to the west for a while, and to the east for a while, just when Zhou Shichang was just about to see the rolled peanuts, Zhang Yue put down the water bowl in his hand, picked up the knife on the tank, rushed over, and aimed at the head of the spy Zhou Shichang, and with this knife, the spy fell.
However, due to the heavy security, unfortunately he did not get out. On the train escorting Zhang Yue, the Japanese translator Kanamori said puzzledly, "Why did you cut us with a knife?" Zhang Yue asked rhetorically: "Then why are you tortured me like this?" ”
Jin Sen asked very embarrassed and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhang Yue said firmly: "Afraid of death, afraid of death is not Chinese." When Jin Sen heard the three words of the Chinese, he was frightened, and he was suddenly covered in a cold sweat, stammering and retreating, Comrade Zhang Yue warned Jin Sen: "You don't need to ask me, I don't have time to pay attention to you, you can watch it!" ”
Comrade Zhang Yue was taken to the prison of the Linxi Gendarmerie Corps, where she did not eat a grain of rice or drink a drop of water from the enemy for three days.
Zhang Yue's heroic sacrifice sparked a boom in the performance of shadow puppet societies in Tangshan, and her deeds were widely praised among the masses.
