In 1936, the village that the Red Army held on to during its westward expedition was captured by Ma Jiajun, however, Ma Jiajun was not happy about the victory, but was even more depressed when he saw what was on the ground.
Why is that?
From November 10 to November 11, 1936, the Red Ninth Army fought fiercely with Ma Jiajun for two days and nights in Ganchaiwa, Gancheng Village, Gancheng Township, Dongcheng Township, Gulang County, and made great contributions.
The Advance Troupe under the Political Department of the Western Route Army prepared a condolence performance for the soldiers of the Red Ninth Army. In a difficult environment, the warriors longed to hear the singing. The troupe is led by Liao Chijian (also known as Liao Chijian), a 21-year-old girl born in Jinzhai, Anhui Province, the branch secretary.
Despite the harsh environment, this Anhui girl was not depressed, and on the march, her melodious singing echoed on the march: August osmanthus flowers bloomed everywhere, the flaming red flag floated up and sent the Red Army to the Red Army with a pair of straw sandals, and the Red Army fought the enemy.
They came to Dongzhai, where the military headquarters of the Red 9th Army was located. Suddenly, a gust of wind kicked up a cloud of dust, and a group of cavalry rushed like a gale. They stared at blood-red eyes, like steppe wolves smelling their prey.
The voice got closer and closer, and the faces of the people on the horse became clearer and clearer. On the war horse were fierce and vicious, and the cavalry of the Ma family army was full of flesh. They brandished their swords, stepped on their stirrups, galloped wildly, and shouted like wolves.
Although the girls of the troupe have been on the battlefield for a long time, they are still nervous when they see this scene. Ma Jiajun's **, their murderous aura makes people shudder. There was a commotion in the troupe.
Liao Chijian greeted everyone and withdrew to a village in the south of the road (Guojia Xiamozhuang). Because there had just been a battle nearby, the villagers had gone out to take refuge. Guo's lower Mozhuang is more like a large fortress, with a tall and thick wall surrounding the village, and there are three-storey buildings at the four corners.
The building is surrounded by more than a dozen large forts. After hiding in the village, the warriors quieted down. At this time, a fellow villager appeared, and he told Liao Chijian bad news: the Red Army living in Dongzhai had just fought a fierce battle with the Ma Jiajun and was retreating.
Liao Chijian immediately reported the situation to the leaders of the troupe and put forward his own suggestion: "Shoot at Ma Jiajun to attract the enemy and cover the transfer of the 9th Army." The troupe leadership listened to his advice and immediately deployed.
They ordered the fighters who could fight to meet the enemy in the courtyard and on the first floor, the others to cooperate in the attack on the second floor, and the women and children to be placed on the third floor. A few minutes later, a squad leader reported to Yi Weijing, the political commissar of the troupe: "The deployment is complete!" ”
Yi Weijing gave a loud order: "Hit hard!" "Give the order, and the ** in the hands of the soldiers roared together and shot at the Ma Jiajun. Ma Jiajun found that the firepower of the Red Army was not fierce, and he was a little hesitant, wanting to put down this team and pursue forward.
However, Liao Chijian had an idea and let the warrior blow the trumpet. The troupe has all the props, so naturally there will be no Charge. Suddenly, the drums of war were beating, the trumpets were loud, and the enemy miscalculated, believing that the main force of the Red Army was still in the village, and began to concentrate personnel to attack the village.
At this time, the military headquarters had not gone far, and after hearing the fierce gunfire, they sent cavalry to meet them. However, when the cavalry arrived, a strange thing happened: the bandits of the Ma family army roared, and the war horses under the crotch of the Red Army soldiers jumped wildly and ran towards the Ma family army as if they had heard the order.
Many of the soldiers on the horse were thrown out of their horses, and some were killed by the bandits' swords, and the scene was terrible. Many of the horses of this improvised Red Army cavalry were obtained from the Ma army, and the cunning horse bandits took the opportunity to attack them.
Seeing this scene, Yi Weijing, the political commissar of the troupe, tearfully shouted to the Red Army cavalry: "Friends, retreat quickly, the enemy has surrounded us, you can't get in, we can't get out, don't make senseless sacrifices." ”
When Ma Jiajun heard this, he became even more arrogant and shouted: "Brothers, rush, catch a Red Army and reward two hundred oceans, and kill a Red Army and reward one hundred oceans!" At this time, Liao Chijian was directing the battle, and his comrades-in-arms around him kept falling.
However, she did not panic, held a pistol behind the pillar and fired at the enemy. Behind the wall, the enemy built a ladder to climb up, and Liao Chijian rushed out from behind the pillar desperately, exposed to enemy fire, and shouted: "Friends, don't let the enemy come up!" ”
The enemy machine gunner recognized her at a glance, she was the leader. They concentrated their fire on her, and a bullet hit her forehead accurately, and red blood spurted out like a fountain, instantly staining her military uniform red.
The gun in her hand fell to the ground. In this battle, Yi Weijing, political commissar of the troupe, Liao Chijian, secretary of the branch, Wang Xianchen, captain, Ren Bihuang, director, and dozens of soldiers of the Red 9th Army unfortunately died.
Among them, Ren Bihuang is a special figure, he is the elder brother of the Red Second Front Military and Political Appointment. As the sky grew darker, the gunfire slowly subsided, and only the old man and children, as well as some female soldiers, were left in the stockade.
Ma Jiajun did not dare to venture because they did not know the situation, so they set fire to the gate under the stockade. The fire burned brightly, and in the blink of an eye, the gate was reduced to ashes. In order to get the reward from the commander, the cavalry of the Ma family army was even more excited, pinched the horse's belly, brandished a long knife, and rushed into the village shouting.
They are incomparable, like fanatical killing machines. In front of them, the villagers were not afraid, and they fought back with the prepared ** and swore to defend their homeland to the death.
When the Ma army occupied the village, an officer rode around the courtyard, only to see a group of female soldiers, old people and children, as well as musical instruments scattered all over the place: erhu, horse-head qin, waist drum, ......He felt teased and shouted frantically: "We have been deceived, there are no Red Army officials here, just a singing troupe!" ”
When the bandits of Ma Jiajun heard the officer's words, they were also very angry, and they shouted one after another: "Don't let these singers take advantage!" "Settle accounts with them! ”
One person is divided into one woman, and go back to the cave room! "As night fell, the bandits lit bonfires in the compound, illuminating the village as if it were day. Illuminated by the bonfire, the bandits began a frantic search.
A group of survivors were taken to the compound, and the expression of the bandit leader Ma Yuanhai was complicated. He looked at the loot in front of him and was surprised. He didn't expect that he had paid so much, and the opponent had resisted for so long, but it was not the main force of the Red Army, but a troupe.
The male actors were sent to Liangzhou to be detained, while some of the actresses were detained, and the rest were sent to Ma Buqing and Ma Bufang. It is recorded that in this battle, more than 150 Red Army soldiers were killed, and more than 20 actresses were captured.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the earth screamed, and the bright moon wept. The spirit of the Western Route Army lives on!
