The success of the revolution in the Xinhai year of the lunar calendar, the second year is the first year, and Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution in 1927 can be regarded as the early stage of the revolution, until the liberation of Nanjing, the Chiang dynasty was overthrown, and it can be regarded as the later period.
*In the later period, the Fanchuan garrison, according to my research, can be roughly divided into: the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, ** retreat; The Japanese invaded and occupied, and the puppet army was entrenched; Chiang's army attacked, and our army retreated north; The army marched south, and Fanchuan liberated these four stages. This article is divided into two parts, the first and the second, which are summarized separately.
* In the twenty-sixth year (1937), Yangzhou fell, and a regiment of Yang Kaiduo of the Kuomintang army retreated to Fanchuan, although it was well-equipped, with sufficient guns and ammunition, and 28 high-headed horses to form a cavalry squad, but it was vulnerable. Fanchuan Town can't afford to raise an army of more than 1,000 people, Yang Kai asks for more than 10,000 oceans, otherwise, "to borrow a street for use", Fanchuan Chamber of Commerce can do anything, and return the amount, Yang Kai will go to Dinggou for many departments.
* In the spring of the twenty-seventh year (1938), a company of the Wenda Department of the Independent Brigade of the 89th Army of the Kuomintang was stationed in the Ten Emperor Temple, and the company commander was Zhu Huaiyi. What is the intention of the army to interfere in the night inspection of the hotel? Self-explanatory. Jiang Liben, a small merchant and vendor in Yangzhou who made soap for self-production and sale, was arrested, and Ge Tianxiang, the owner of the hostel, tortured to extract a confession, and failed to extort money, and dragged them to Guilongdun and shot them under the pretext that they were Japanese traitors. (For details, please refer to the clumsy work "Fan Chuan Has a Shooting Murder Case" published in the second issue of "Yangzhou Literature and History" in 2008) Soon after, Zhu Huaiyi was transferred away.
In the summer of the same year, the 697th Regiment of the 89th Army of the Kuomintang came to Fanchuan to take over the defense and stationed in Dongyue Temple. The regiment was only garrisoned, and one day, a soldier fled to Tangjiazhuang, and was captured and shot on the main road south of Yanshou Gate. The people in the town called the army a foreign battalion, and no one inquired about the news, only that all of them were transferred away in the autumn, as if they were "walking lanterns". Later, I heard that the 89th Army opened the Yellow Bridge and was completely annihilated by the New Fourth Army.
In the autumn of the same year, the Third Security Regiment of Jiangsu Province came to take over. The head of the regiment, Zhang Xingshan, (many newspapers and periodicals mistakenly refer to Zhang Xingbing, the author thinks that what his daughter Zhang Ling said), a native of Jinan, Shandong, a graduate of Thammasat University, was formerly the secretary general of the Office of the Administrative Inspector of the Fourth District (Nantong) of Jiangsu Province. Nantong fell, and the security team was expanded to the third security regiment, with three battalions under its jurisdiction, and retreated to Fanchuan, with the regiment headquarters located in the Garden Hotel (south of Zhongdangdian ditch, at the bottom of the alley of the pharmacy).
* In the 28th year (1939), Han Deqin, chairman of Jiangsu Province, ordered that all county security regiments were promoted to security brigades, and Zhang Xingjiao was appointed as the commander of the third brigade. It has three regiments: the fifth regiment, the sixth regiment and the supplementary regiment. The brigade headquarters has eight major departments, including quartermaster and military law, and has set up a people's council, set up a lean company, issued currency, collected finance and taxes, expanded and reorganized the troops, organized the people, publicized the people, collected civilian armed forces, and strengthened household registration management, making it a small independent kingdom. Some people think that Zhang Xingshan is very ambitious, and calls him the "third uncle", also known as the "wild third brigade". Of course, there are three other theories, which I will not repeat here.
* In the spring of the 28th year (1939), the brigade headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of Baobao was moved to Gaoyou City, and on March 10, the regimental Xu Jincheng Department was stationed on the first line of the Lujin Canal. On March 10, the Japanese invaders attacked Zhaoguanba from Shao Bo by water and land. The officers and men of the regiment rose up to resist and routed the Japanese army. At that time, the propaganda team made up a slip: "Showa beat Zhaoguan, and the bones were piled up." "The poor five regiments, the rich six regiments, the unbeatable supplementary regiments", in order to boost morale, **fierce fighting, **there is Xu Jincheng, the supplementary regiment is famous, it is indeed true. The victory of the Zhaoguanba Resistance War left a glorious page in the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Northern Jiangsu (see "General Xu Jincheng's War of Resistance in the Soviet Union" in the fifth issue of Jiangsu Local Chronicles in 2007 for details).
* In the autumn of the 28th year (October 1, 1939), the Japanese army attacked Gaoyou, and on October 2, the Japanese army occupied Gaoyou, and Zhang Xingjiao gathered the remnants and withdrew to Fanchuan. The brigade headquarters was stationed in the Shuilu Temple, adjusted the defense areas of each regiment, dug deep communication trenches, built fortifications, built three large pillboxes, and held on to Fanchuan. During this period, Japanese planes often flew in for air raids (see "Yangzhou Historical Records" in the third issue of 2005 "Japanese planes bombed Fanchuan three times").
* In the spring of the 29th year (1940), General Li Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in the Lusu-Anhui district, together with the commander of the 89th Army Gu Xijiu, went to the large playground east of the Shuilu Temple in Fanchuan for a military parade, announcing that the Third Security Brigade would be reorganized into the Lusu-Anhui Fifth Column, and Zhang Xingshan was still the commander of the Major General Column. Since then, it has gotten rid of the affiliation with the province in Xinghua.
On June 28 of the same year, Deputy Commander Li Changjiang stationed in Taizhou gathered 13 regiments of troops to attack the New Fourth Army stationed in Guocun. Zhang Xingjiao sent Xu Jincheng to deal with it. In fact, Xu Jincheng only brought one battalion and falsely claimed to be a regiment. It is rumored among the people that there are undercover comrades such as Guo Shen of the underground party in the Xu Jincheng Regiment, and his lover also serves in the army and is a party member, who is not willing to participate in the battle of "boiling beans and burning beans". Moreover, Baqiao, Yong'an, Zhenwu, Yangzhuang and other places must be stationed in order to prevent the Japanese army from sneaking attack, and it is only four days to come and go, and the regimental headquarters is still stationed in Yong'an. Here the author believes that the real history is a battalion rather than a regiment, and some documents do not report this in accordance with reality.
Yong'an, where the headquarters of the Xu Jincheng regiment is located, is the barrier of Fanchuan Town. In the same year, on the thirteenth day of the fourth lunar month (May 19), the Gaoyou Japanese invaded Sanduo in an attempt to move south to occupy Fanchuan in one fell swoop, but were repelled by the Xu regiment on the way. On the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month (June 17), the Japanese army (there was no rain for a long time, the river was cut off, and the Japanese motorboats could not be used) advanced from Gongtian and Zhangjiazhuang to Yong'an, but were once again repelled by the Xu regiment.
* On August 29, 29 (September 30, 1940), the Japanese invaded Fanchuan for the third time. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the battle of Fanchuan began, and Xu Jincheng entered the position (Sixi River, now the southwest bank of the Fanchuan lock on the Yanshao River) and immediately returned fire. The Japanese invaders thought that they would be in a no-man's land, but unexpectedly, the guns rang out, and they fell into an ambush battle, and their sharpness was greatly reduced. At that time, Zhang Xingjiao attended the Taizhou military conference, and when he learned that the military situation was urgent, he immediately returned to Tongxiangxia in the eastern suburbs of Fanchuan by steamer. Commander Xu called back, ** is very big, there is a shortage of ammunition, if you fight hard, people, guns, and land will be lost, such as giving up Fan Chuan, people and guns are there, save strength, and don't worry about no territory. Zhang Xingshan thought that there was some truth, but he still "insisted on talking about it until tomorrow", and he didn't say anything for a night, and the starry night was a shootout across the river, and the Japanese did not dare to take a step forward.
* On the morning of the first day of September in the 29th year (October 1, 1940), there was sporadic light rain, the Japanese invaders changed the offensive route, adopted the usual roundabout tactics, under the leadership of the traitors, drove the motorboat from Changninggou to the east into the heart of the Shazigou gate, and was discovered by a recruit platoon, according to the recollection of She Xianglin, the third team directly under Fan Chuan, "I couldn't see who it was, I tried to shoot it, but I didn't expect the army on the shore to disperse, and the light and heavy machine guns on the motorboat shot at us together, and we couldn't raise our heads, so we couldn't raise our head in the platoon, and we had a platoon of recruits 37 people, I was the only one left, and the only five bullets around me had already been exhausted, and I crawled from the crop field to Beihu Village, saving my life. ”
According to the local people, 100 Japanese devils wearing black raincoats landed and advanced, passing by Shenghe Baiqianzhuang, and it happened that after a company break in the 3rd Brigade, more than 20 people were shot and killed indiscriminately at lunch (10 o'clock), dozens of people died by drowning, and two people were bitten to death by Japanese military dogs after being captured. According to page 57 of Zhang Xingshan's "Record of the Anti-Japanese War of the Seventh Column of the Northern Jiangsu Advance Column": "In order to avoid major sacrifices in the overall situation, I decided to cover the retreat from the Ten Emperor Temple to Xiaoshu Bridge, and from the Water and Land Temple to the North and Hunan Roads. In the end, the king of cover, Lian (Zhiqing), all made a magnificent sacrifice. From this passage, it can be seen that the company that held lunch in Baiqian Village was Wang Lian, which confirmed that the memories of the local people were true.
At that time, the information of the Third Brigade was slow, and the main force had retreated to Beihuzhuang, and the Fifth Regiment stationed in Dinggou Town sent the Lin Battalion, wearing heavy rain hats, braving the rain to reinforce Fan Chuan. The author was "hiding from the plane" at my uncle's house, and saw the soldiers pry the bridge into the river. It is estimated that the officers and soldiers of Zhang Xingshan and Xu Jincheng have been evacuated to Beihu, and my neighbor Xie Kang, the former sergeant squad leader of the Third Brigade, left the army in 1942 and returned to Fanchuan to do small business.
After the Japanese army occupied Fanchuan, according to eyewitnesses, the vanguard of the Japanese invaders entered the town by motorboat, three of which stopped at the line of the Sanyang River, and the other three anchored at the bridge (now Heping Bridge) and the wharf of the Hengde Kerosene Company. Follow-up Japanese invaders advance by land and water, the gunfire gradually stopped at noon, Fanchuan Town was all occupied by the Japanese army, that day was the first day of the ninth lunar month, Fanchuan fell, everyone remembered.
The commander of the Japanese army attacking Fanchuan was Hayashida Daisa, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Gaoyoutun, who led the Kameda artillery squadron, a squadron of Captain Komori Ichiro, plus dozens of puppet policemen, and thousands of captured people. From the afternoon to the evening of the same day, the Japanese army set fire to the surrounding villages, killing three peasants who were fighting the fire in Xiaojiayuan alone. The Japanese army threatened to "take a three-day holiday", but in fact it was a three-day rape and plunder. Three days later, a notice was posted to reassure the people, the provisions of which were no longer listed one by one, but in a nutshell, the main ones were: one person collaborated with the enemy, all calmed down to be burned, and no matter how to kill.
The 3rd Brigade withdrew from Fanchuan, while Dinggou and Xiaoji were still in their hands, still persisting in the anti-Japanese struggle. According to Zhang Xingshan's "Record of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression of the Seventh Column Advancing in Northern Jiangsu", "We held on to the enemy for more than 50 days, fought 16 fierce battles, attacked Fanchuan Town twice, sank two enemy boats, obtained two walkie-talkies, overpaid for equipment, killed more than 150 enemies, and killed 18 soldiers. After that, he launched a campaign against rebellion in Yong'an, Yangzhuang, Dongming Temple, Baziqiao, Zongcun, Li Gaoqiao, Xiaoji, Lucun and other places. The various battles have passed, omitted.
In short, the Third Brigade was an anti-Japanese force, and in the past five years, it has fought between the Jianghuai River and Huaihuai, fighting more than 100 battles and killing thousands of enemies. The Third Brigade also suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, all of whom were handsome men at home, who sacrificed their lives for the country, and were righteous and righteous, and achieved a great victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, thanks to the merits of the martyrs of the Third Brigade.
* After the Spring Festival of the thirtieth year (1941), Li Changjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief of Lusuwan in Taizhou, incorporated the Third Brigade as the fifth column, Zhang Xingshan and Xu Jincheng checked and returned the letter of appointment.
In 1943, the Japanese invaders gathered the enemy troops in Tai, Dong, and Xing counties to attack Zhang Xingshan's department, and the three brigades were attacked on all sides, and in less than three days, the three brigades were all dispersed, and the three brigades disappeared after that. By the way, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Xingshan's youngest daughter stayed in Shanghai as a worker, she said, "My father went to Shanghai to work as a public servant, and then went to Taiwan as a senior senator of the 'Ministry of National Defense', and then transferred to the United States to settle down. Legend has it that there was an officer who was also surnamed Zhang and became a teacher, but it was not my father Zhang Xingshan, and the false rumors in the society could not be believed. ”
After the retreat of the Third Brigade, Deputy Commander Xu Jincheng once expressed to his subordinates Gao Xishun and others that he would resolutely not surrender to the Japanese invaders, gather the remnants, and continue to resist the Japanese. According to the people in this town, Xu Jincheng quietly returned to Fanchuan Zhang Baoyuan Yinlou alone to ask Su Yushi to enter the New Fourth Army, and with the consent of Su Yu's division commander, Xu Jincheng led his troops to revolt. In his later years, he served as an adviser to the Shanxi Provincial Military Region, and died of illness in Taiyuan in 1993 (for details, please refer to the humble article "General Xu Jincheng's War of Resistance in the Soviet Union and China" published in the fifth issue of Jiangsu Local Chronicles in 2007).
The Japanese invaders and the puppet army are collectively known as the Japanese puppet army. During this period, from the fall of Fanchuan to the Lantern Festival in 1941, the Japanese army was garrisoned, and after the Lantern Festival, the Japanese army was transferred to Xinghua to the New Fourth Army to recover Fanchuan, and it was a puppet army garrison within four years. Specifically:
* On the first day of September of the 29th year (October 1, 1940), after the Japanese army invaded and occupied Fanchuan, most of the Japanese troops returned to their original places, and the Japanese troops stationed in Fanchuan had a squadron (equivalent to a company, about 150 people), and the garrison captain Komori Ichiro was a captain commander, and the headquarters was stationed in Hengde Kerosene Company (the former third brigade headquarters, the site is on the west bank of the old farmers' market).
There are three detachments (equivalent to three platoons), the first detachment guards the headquarters, the second detachment is stationed in Tangxia Guandi Temple (now the food station), and the third detachment is stationed in Dongyue Temple (now in Fanchuan Middle School). As far as the author knows, they are: Iwami (squad leader, that is, squad leader), Fubu (Wu Chang), Yamahiro (** soldier), Yamamoto (light machine gunner), Takeda (grenadier shot), and Abu Masaeiro (the oldest, born in 1916), Shanggang, and Murakami, three privates. He also dispatched a devil from the Dongyue Temple to station in the Ten Emperors Temple, and built three-story bunkers respectively. and dispatched a team from Guandi Temple to be stationed in Yong'an Town.
All the houses near the Japanese pillbox were demolished, and a lead wire net was pulled up outside the pillbox, and a trench was dug outside the net. The Japanese army also had a radio station directly to Gaoyou, and also raised more than 100 carrier pigeons, and each team was also equipped with a wolf dog.
From October 1940 to February 1941, during the Japanese invasion of Fanchuan, the puppet police station and the detective team were traitors who acted as tigers and fished in the township. At that time, there was no puppet army. What is a puppet army?It belongs to the army of Wang Jingwei and the pseudo-***. Each soldier's waist belt head is cast in brass, with the words "peace ** save the country" on it, and the common people call it the "peace army", while the New Fourth Army does propaganda and publishes books and newspapers, and is collectively called the puppet army.
* In the thirtieth year (1941), the Japanese army was transferred to Xinghua, and the Gaoyou Japanese Army Headquarters sent a battalion to garrison Fanchuan, which was the first batch of puppet troops. The number is "Sulu-Anhui Allied Army", which was originally a battalion of the Northwest Group Army, recognized the thief as his father, surrendered to the Japanese, and the pseudo-battalion commander Xiao Wenxuan wore a major epaulettes. The soldiers of the whole battalion are all dressed in Japanese military uniforms, ** are Japanese-style equipment, and the common people call them "two devils", and some are called "two emperors". The original site of the Japanese headquarters of the puppet battalion headquarters.
In the same year, one day around the Dragon Boat Festival, before dawn, the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army attacked the puppet battalion headquarters, and the puppet army resisted stubbornly in the bunkers, and the fierce battle failed to work for two hours, and then captured more than 10 policemen stationed in Nandangdian and Fanjiaduo, and seized more than 10 rifles.
*Thirty years (June 20, 1941)** called Hui Yuyu and appointed him as the secretary of the Jianggao Central County Party Committee and the director of the Jianggao Administration Bureau, and the secretary of the Jiangdu County Party Committee. At the same time, the Jianggao Independent Regiment (formed by the expansion of the first division, three regiments and one battalion of the New Fourth Army), the regiment commander Xie Youcai, and the political commissar Zhang Gumei, were active in the vast countryside around Fanchuan, and the puppet army Xiao Wenxuan's department was in the people's armed forces. In the former, the puppet battalion department had been severely hit, and seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Wenxuan led his troops to slip away.
Liu Xiangtu, commander of the 22nd Division of Wang Puppet Provisional Division stationed in Xinghua, instructed Wang Jianfu of the 86th Regiment to garrison in Fanchuan, which was the second batch of puppet troops stationed in Fanchuan. Wang Jianfu is a gentleman, relying on the family background, spending days and drinking, gambling and prostitution. The posters posted in the theater can't be counted, and the opera and singing at night are either "Dragon and Phoenix" or the whole "Red Lady", and they want to marry Huadan Qin Yulan to Taizhou to get married, a big straw bag, and people go to wealth. Wang Jianfu intensified his efforts to knock on the bamboo poles of the Fan Sichuan people. But he was often attacked by the New Fourth Army, and Wang Jianfu was like a frightened bird.
At the turn of summer and autumn of that year, Fanchuan Town was under martial law before noon and blocked the traffic arteries. Later, I learned that Liu Xiangtu drove a car to Fan, parked at the "Lintian Bridge" (now the north bank of Wengjiayuan), and only allowed Wang Jianfu to cross the bridge alone, talked secretly for a while, and then returned to Xinghua.
Before the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the emergency assembly trumpet sounded, and the companies ran to Banqiaotang, and there were more than 10 towing barges behind a steamer in Xinghua. Liu Xiangtu's trip to Fan Chuan is gradually explained, if there is a mistake in the "Yanei", Liu's black yarn will be difficult to protect.
On the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hui Yuyu, Xie Youcai, Jiang Tao and other party, government and military leaders stationed in Fanchuan, posted notices to the people, and met with well-known figures for several days in a row, and did a lot of first-class work, which was of far-reaching significance and great gain.
On the evening of 19 August, the Fanchuan Chamber of Commerce set up six tables of banquets in the Chaoyanglou tea, wine and noodle restaurant, warmly entertained the party, government and military cadres, drank three rounds, cooked five dishes, the feast was about to disperse, one person rushed upstairs, Hui Yuyu heard the low body, and immediately led the people to the banquet to rush down, a few minutes later, more than 20 Japanese soldiers came out of nowhere, aimed at Chaoyang Tower and set up two "crooked" machine guns, when the Japanese devils found that people went to the empty building, they immediately fired a few shuttle machine guns in the direction of evacuation, and then turned around and entered the town, talking nonsense while running: "To hope, to hope", is it true "to hope" or false "to hope"? I don't know what it means (see the clumsy work "Hui Yuyu Fan Chuan Anecdote" published by the 12th issue of "Iron Army" magazine in 2009).
On the 20th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the sixth day after Wang Jianfu's 89th Regiment fled from Fanchuan, the commander of the Japanese army's "53 Brigade" stationed in Gaoyou County, escorted the Xia troops to Fanchuan to garrison, which was equivalent to the Japanese army reoccupying Fanchuan Town. The Xia army was the third batch of puppet troops stationed in Fanchuan during the Japanese puppet rule. The commander's surname is Xia Mingli Wu, and the Xia unit is the abbreviation, and the original number is the ** Military Commission Commissioner's Office Force. The so-called puppet army commander Xia falsely claimed to be a division, but in fact he only had one regiment of Zhao Songyan under his jurisdiction, with more than 1,000 troops. Zhao Songyan's daughter and Xia Liwu's two daughters, Xia Yiling and Xia Yihua, are classmates with the author, and we are more clear about this point, and it is not practical for some documents to still write about Xia Liwushi.
Soon after, Gaoyou sent another Wu Zengyu, known as Wu Er's madman, the strength of Wu's troops was less than 1,000, and the Xia and Wu troops did not penetrate each other, and each was stationed in its own defense area, but one thing was the same, the troops had no food and salary, and they all relied on their own funding, and asked for money and grain from the merchants in Fanchuan and the surrounding six townships. To this end, it also opened Tongxing Public Bank and forcibly collected commissions. Fortune God. At one time, he captured 200 rich landowners, and extorted grain, more than 100 loads, and as few as dozens of loads. Make a "dead man's money".
In February 1943, the 52nd Regiment of the New Fourth Army killed Bi Chunmao in Qishu Temple, and Commander Xia Wu held a funeral in the Fanchuan Guandi Palace.
Admission fee is charged. A pseudo-organization was established, named "Shuoying Society", and internally nicknamed the "Peace Movement Propaganda Committee". And so on and so on (for details, see the 2006 Drama Publishing House's book "The Final Destination of the Puppet Army Commander Xia Liwu").
Especially in the summer of 1942, the Xia and Wu troops resisted stubbornly and asked for wood from Fanchuan merchants to build blockhouses, and demolished 10 scripture buildings and 15 Kuixing buildings in Fanchuan Shuilu Temple under the pretext ......of insufficient fundsA total of 55 rooms, artificially destroying the resources of Fanchuan's tourism industry, ruining the style of the thousand-year-old temple.
* Ten days before the Qingming Festival in the thirty-second year (1943), the Xia and Wu troops forced and scolded the peasants to pick up soil and fill the river. The river that was filled in was originally the ancient Sixi River dug in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the two counties of Gaoyou and Taizhou in Fanchuan Town were bounded by this. Xia and Wu Commander Niu learned the big cow's, imitating Taizhou Li Mingyang and Li Changjiang to take the words "Ming" and "Jiang" as the name of the road in Hailing District, Xia and Wu named the word "Liying" and named it "Liying" Road (now Renmin Road), showing political achievements, backfired, affecting residents' water use, hindering water traffic, destroying the Fanchuan water system, destroying the intangible assets of the people of Fanchuan, and causing eternal hatred!
The old people in Fanchuan Town will not forget to fill in the river and build roads, and there are no pipelines, and once the rain falls, the water in the center of the street becomes a river, and then it is muddy, and mosquitoes and flies breed for six or seven years, and the people in the town complain bitterly. Now a few people distort the facts, saying that the river was reclaimed in 1957, adding confusion to the history of Fanchuan.
The Xia and Wu troops suffered several blows during their garrison in Fanchuan, and here is an example: **On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month of the 32nd year (January 10, 1944), the Jianghan Independent Regiment of the New Fourth Army and the Gaoyou Independent Regiment jointly attacked the puppet army in Yong'an Town, and the puppet army stationed in Yong'an Town was a company of Wu's troops.
The New Fourth Army strategically adopted the strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements, the Gaoyou Regiment attacked Yong'an, and the Jianghan Independent Regiment was the enemy who undertook the reinforcement of the Xia troops, luring the snake out of the hole, and recovering Fanchuan. Half of the puppet army crossed the river at the Wengjiayuan ferry, the Jianghan Independent Regiment launched an undulating attack, killing more than 100 puppet soldiers, and the army wearing gray military uniforms could be seen following and pursuing at the height of Fanchuan, and the puppet army wearing yellow military uniforms burned the Hongqiao and retreated to Fanchuan, and it was clear that the New Fourth Army had penetrated directly into the west bank of the Shanyang River in Baxian Street.
The New Fourth Army confronted the puppet army for a day and night. The puppet army killed Hu Xiaokouzi, the third owner of the Hu family's baked cake shop, who fled for his life, the mother-in-law and a four-year-old girl of the owner of Zhang Yixing's dowry shop, and the proprietress of the Thursday restaurant.
At dawn, the Jianghan Independent Regiment returned to the division, cooperated with the Gaoyou Independent Regiment, and forced all the puppet army companies stationed in the Dabei Temple to disarm and surrender. In this battle, more than 200 Xia and Wu troops were annihilated, and more than 150 people were captured. Pan Gancheng, the boss who was far away in Baoying, was out of reach and could not be reinforced. The Xia and Wu troops had to build more turrets and strengthen the earthen wei, and they were always ready to flee from the city.
* On the twelfth day of the first month of the 33rd year (February 5, 1944), the treacherous deputy commander Wu Zengyu (known as Zhongying) volunteered to let the Xia troops take the first step, and it is estimated that when they arrived in Yong'an an an hour later, the Wu troops suddenly turned eastward and went straight to the direction of Xiaoji, and rushed to Wujiabao to join Li Mingyang. Although Xia and Wu escaped tightly, the Xia troops fled to Zhangjiazhuang and were still discovered by the Jianghan Independent Regiment, which chased and intercepted them, chased them to the Longben section, and cut their tails. From the mid-Autumn Festival in 1941 to the Lantern Festival in 1944, the Xia and Wu divisions entrenched themselves in Fanchuan for 28 months.
* On the thirteenth day of the first month of the thirty-third year (February 6, 1944), at dawn, the puppet army of Xiaoji Town came to Fanchuan by land and water. This batch of puppet troops is the fourth batch of puppet troops stationed in Fan, and it is also the last batch of puppet troops. This batch of puppet troops was originally stationed in Taizhou, and they were the 94th Infantry Regiment of the 24th Division of the Ninth Army of the Wang Puppet Army. The second battalion of the regiment came to Fanchuan to fill in the defense, with a strength of about 400 people, and the battalion commander Li Daoxu (nicknamed Li Cripple, one leg lame) (1996 "Jiangdu County Chronicles" was mistaken for Li Xudao).
The fourth, fifth, and sixth companies, the battalion headquarters are stationed in the middle of the pawn, and the site of the puppet army summer troops. When Li Daoxu went to Fanchuan, he first demolished the circular pillboxes of the Xia troops and rebuilt seven tall and large square pillboxes. The battalion is relatively well equipped, with more than 20 light machine guns, 3 heavy machine guns, and 3 mortars.
Li Daoxu's department originally had food and salary, but he was not dead-hearted, frantically looting the people's fat and ointment, and extorting bamboo and bamboo, which was better than the Xia and Wu troops. Li Daoxu and Yan Zengxiu were embarrassed, each recruiting "disciples", receiving large gifts, and even worse, killing people and setting fires, doing many evils, and it was difficult to write a lot.
The masses of the people know that they have recruited the dregs of society, set up an intelligence organization, and dared to kill people and set fire to Wangzhuang in the Fannan Army, and the vast number of peasants hate this to the core. Li lame openly carried the God of Wealth puppet army to rob in vain. Li lame sent troops to Fannan and Datong townships to arrest more than 200 peasants at one time, and used ropes and arms, one by one, half a mile long, each called "requisition grain", and asked for 2,000 quintals of wheat! The battalion commander openly lifted the God of Wealth, and the pseudo-officers and soldiers went to the countryside to mention chickens and pigs. It is a peasant who carries pigs to the street, and it is a puppet army who carries two chickens and ducks with a long bamboo penny. Li Daoxu and Yan Zengxiu felt the reputation of "ripping bamboo", so they changed their disciples and recognized their relatives, and they took a two-pronged approach, and their "income" was quite rich. It's really weird, Li Daoxu and his ilk are not the green and red gangs, they are real "empty people". It's really a joke, the rich people in the towns and villages, even if they are older and more obedient, some are a few years older, teens, and twenties older than Li, in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, take the way of worshipping their godfather.
Li Daoxu also used the purchase of summer clothes as an excuse to force various merchants to subscribe. In the spring of that year, Li Daoxu set up a banquet in the hotel, personally put the lamp, and spoke at the end of the banquet: "Today is not a Hongmen banquet, but a military ** party, more than 1,000 sets of military uniforms in the summer of the headquarters (the author's note, more than 600 false reports, but only about 400 people) have not been found, please help." Then the adjutant took out the "Fate Book" and asked the people who went to the banquet to report and fill it in by themselves. In fact, the summer military uniforms of the puppet army have been transported to the Xiaoji regiment headquarters, and the cash of 1,000 sets of military uniforms has become Li Daoxu's personal "income". Li Daoxu's regiment commander Yan Shusheng often traveled back and forth between Xiaoji and Fan Chuan, and once the steamer was sunk by the Jiangdu Independent Regiment and the Gaoyou Independent Regiment, and ordered the Fan Chuan Chamber of Commerce to compensate 800 quintals of rice, and the so-called compensation money went into Li Daoxu's private account.
* On the third day of the ninth month of the 33rd year (October 19, 1944), the Jiangdu Regiment, the New Seventh Column, and the Xinghua Regiment launched a fierce attack, and Li Daoxu was in the bunker for two days. On the fifth day of September, the Japanese invaders stationed in Taizhou rose up to reinforce, and Li Daoxu arrested hundreds of merchants along the street and escorted them to the compound of Dongyue Temple (now Fanchuan Middle School), and set up a crane gun to prepare for the big **. Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce invited Ni Yunfu of Shazitou (he was in Shanghai to give haircuts to the Japanese and could speak Japanese) to intercede with the Japanese chieftain, saying that he was a great good citizen, and the Japanese chief observed the heads and palms of the businessmen and agreed to release them; And Li Daoxu still put Fang Tong and Fang Duzhou, the second boss of the cloth shop, and Mo Yuankun, the third boss of Mo Luji, on the steamer and took them to Xiaoji, and the above two people ransomed themselves with money and knocked off 500 quintals of rice each.
In 1945, Japan surrendered, from December 29th to December 30th, the seventh column of the Central China Field Army captured alive more than 200 officers and soldiers such as Yan Shusen, the commander of the puppet regiment, and Li Daoxu, the commander of the second battalion, in Tangtou.
The public trial of Li Daoxu was on the 17th day of the 34th month of ** (January 19, 1946), and the venue was set up on the small stack of Fanjiaduo in Fanchuan Town.
At about two o'clock, the main cadres of Fanchuan County Democracy**, Fanchuan County Public Security Bureau, and several neighboring districts.
Seven or eight people took their seats on the rostrum.
At the beginning of the conference, Zheng Duo, then a 25-year-old director of the Public Security Bureau, initiated a public prosecution as a prosecutor. Director Zheng pointed out: Li Zhidaoxu betrayed the country and defected to the enemy in the first 30 years, and was assigned as the commander of the second battalion of the 94th Regiment of the puppet 24th Division. ( Sixty-eight houses were burned down, and the whole town was looted in Fanchuan Town; (Lifting the God of Wealth", "tying up meat tickets", extortion, and committing many crimes.)
Representatives of the victims' families then complained about their crimes.
The conference entered the debate stage, and Li Daoxu pushed up and down and engaged in sophistry. Nonsense that killing people was an order from the top and acting on orders, nonsense that arson was done by subordinate soldiers, and I didn't know about it. Wang Zhaokui, chairman of the business resistance, appeared in court to refute and asked about the case of "tearing up tickets": "The victim's family originally promised to send money to redeem themselves in the morning, but it was difficult to raise money once they entered, and they delayed arriving at the camp headquarters after the meal, who ordered the person to be killed before the meal?" Is it the instruction under the 'upper peak' of **? Li Daoxu was speechless.
At the end of the debate, it was getting late, and the county magistrate Cai Chengcheng, who was Chinese New Year's Eve six years old, stood up in the middle of the rostrum and read out: Fanchuan County's democratic proclamation, "Zha Li has rebelled against the Tao since the ...... of treason and defection to the enemy in the past 30 years."When the county magistrate Cai read "verify the correct body, escort him to the execution ground, execute the execution, and show the ring", Zhu pen hooked, threw the pen on the ground, and the public security soldiers set up Li Daoxu and pushed him to the big grave beach of the Ge family, and a gunshot ended Li Daoxu's criminal life. (For details, please refer to "Fanchuan County Public Trial of the Traitor Li Daoxu" in the sixth volume of "Selected Masterpieces of Chinese Literary Stars" published by China Drama Publishing House).
* On the sixth day of September 33 (October 1944), the New Fourth Army regained Fanchuan Town, and had previously organized a large battle, (see the clumsy work "Six Battles Before the Recovery of Fanchuan" published by the "Iron Army" magazine in the second issue of 2011) On October 25, the New Fourth Army held a meeting of more than 4,000 people in Fanchuan. At the meeting, combat models Xu Fengyun, Wang Chenglin, Geng Guangfa, Shen Tao, ** Quan, Yao Yuquan, etc. were rewarded. And for the glorious sacrifice of Xu Fangyi, Liu Zhikuan and other martyrs held a grand burial ceremony, and then in the Guandi Temple (now the food station) to build a memorial tower, on the plastic five-pointed red star, recognize people to mourn, in 1946 was demolished by the Jiang army.
After the recovery of Fanchuan in October 1944, the establishment of one town and two subordinates was abolished, and it was changed to the democratic jurisdiction of Gaoyou County, and the district and town governments were established.
