Yixian County, an ancient city in western Liaoning, has a long history. It has been more than 2,000 years since the establishment of a county in the Yan and Qin Dynasties and the establishment of a county in the Han Dynasty. It is located at the center of the "Old Road of Western Liaoning" and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Since the September 18th Incident, the people have woken up and spontaneously organized teams to fight against the Japanese aggression!
The most famous anti-Japanese team is the "Poor Party". The leader of this poor party is a Taoist priest named Tian Xinliang.
He was the supervisor of Shengqing Palace in Lushan and the founder of the 12th and 37th Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army.
After the Northeast People¡¯s Anti-Japanese Salvation Association accepted the leadership of the East Anti-Japanese War, Tian Xinliang¡¯s Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army was changed into the Lushan Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Democratic Alliance Army!
This team was surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. The living environment was very simple and they once lost contact with their superiors.
The team went from more than 5,000 people at the most to just over 500 people now.
The real enemy of the "Poor Party" is not the Japanese devils, but another team that serves as traitor lackeys for the Japanese. They call themselves the "Rich Party", and their leader is Zhou Zhenxiang, a native of Xiaotun, Yixian County, who once served as Kailu County magistrate.
This guy has now become the county magistrate of Yi County, recruiting landlords, bullies, and gangsters to form a security brigade. It is said to be three thousand people, but in fact it is only more than a thousand people.
??This week Zhenxiang is dedicated to working for the Japanese, while Tian Xinliang leads the Lushan detachment to fight against the Japanese and save the nation, and also stands up for the poor, so he naturally becomes a mortal enemy!
Zhou Zhenxiang has the support of the Japanese, and with strong soldiers and horses, he will naturally become stronger and stronger. Although Tian Xinliang has the support of the common people, fighting requires more than just people. There are also weapons and resources, which they are most in short supply.
With Japan stationed heavy troops in Jinzhou. The anti-Japanese armed forces in western Liaoning have either been wiped out or broken into pieces. There are not many anti-Japanese armed forces that can be organized!
The Lushan detachment can be said to be one of the few anti-Japanese armed forces that still retains a certain strength. However, the morale and combat effectiveness of the teams that have been supplied with weapons and ammunition are declining day by day. Some even those who are not determined have begun to retire. I want to take off my military uniform and go home to farm and live a life!
The reason why the Lushan detachment was able to survive was because of Tian Xinliang. His identity as a Taoist priest has a good relationship with the various temples on Lushan Mountain. Although Buddhism and Taoism belong to different sects, they are all Chinese first.
The Japanese believe in and respect Buddhism, so they don¡¯t dare to act arrogantly in places like temples, so they receive secret support and cover from these temples. This anti-Japanese team was not completely wiped out by the Japanese and puppet troops.
Although they were not completely killed, they had no supplies, lost contact with their superiors, and did not know the news from the outside. The fighting spirit of this team was slowly declining.
Two days ago, a light rain came down all afternoon. The atmosphere in Lushan Shengqing Palace seemed a bit solemn.
The main leaders of the Dongkang Lushan Detachment gathered here to discuss the future and destiny of the Lushan Detachment.
"Old Taoist, now is the time when the economy is in recession. We can't hold them back anymore. If we can't raise food anymore, we can't let the brothers below go hungry to fight the Japanese, right?" Du Chengdong, captain of the third team, said.
??????????????????????? The atmosphere became even more depressing.
"Yes, we have eaten three times a day, and the brothers are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to shoot!" Zhang Haitao, the captain of the second squadron, has sunken eye sockets. As a squad leader, he is as thin as skin and bones, and he can't even sit down. Be willing to get up.
"Why don't you take out that money and go down the mountain to buy some food for emergencies first?"
"Now that the Japanese have imposed a blockade on the mountainous areas, even if we buy food, how can we transport it in?"
"Then what should we do? We can't starve to death, right?"
"We can hunt and eat from the mountains, but how can a living person be allowed to suffocate to death?"
"The Japanese are worried that they can't find any trace of us. Hunting, isn't this giving opportunities to the Japanese and puppet troops?"
¡°Can¡¯t we just not use guns?¡±
"This method can only solve the temporary problem, but there are hundreds of us, and we can't solve the problem by hunting!" Su Rongshan, the captain of the first team, said solemnly.
"The devils don't know where we are hiding, and this mountain is a territory we are familiar with, so they don't dare to come in easily. However, they have sealed off the surrounding area for us and set up checkpoints to check the channels for supplies in and out of the mountain. It¡¯s blocked¡¡±
"If our radio station hadn't been destroyed by a little devil, we could have contacted the headquarters. If the headquarters knew about our situation, they would definitely find ways to support us!"
"The headquarters is not omnipotent. If the headquarters had not supported us with a batch of weapons and ammunition, would we have been able to survive until now?" Zhang Haitao, leader of the Second Squadron, said.
"I am now going toOkay, you think it would have been better if we had agreed to the conditions of the headquarters. Whether we sent people to study or the headquarters sent people to help us train our troops, we wouldn't have been bullied like this by that old guy Zhou Zhenxiang and the Japanese! "
"I regret it all. Whatever I said, if you don't agree, I can't help it!" Tian Xinliang glanced at everyone coldly.
"Old Taoist, please stop talking. I feel regretful now. I am arrogant and arrogant. Only after so many brothers died did I understand that we rabble are really no match against the regular army. Even Zhou Zhenxiang's security brigade has been hired since With the help of Japanese officers in training, the war has progressed very quickly!" Yu Huichuan said angrily.
"I have told you long ago that fighting against Japan is not enough with passion and courage. It requires wisdom and combat skills, which we do not have!" Tian Xinliang said seriously and solemnly.
"Old Taoist, we were wrong. If I had listened to you, we wouldn't have ended up in this mess now!" The people who opposed the people who came to help them train their troops are now regretting it. Just because of their opposition, maybe they might have ended up in this situation now! The brother who was not willing to sacrifice has now died, leaving orphans and widows behind, and the family's life is extremely miserable.
"But even if we know we are wrong, what can we do? There is no regret in the world." Su Rongshan, the captain of the first squadron, said.
"Yes, right now we are short of food and guns. If these two problems are not solved, how will we face our brothers when we go back?" said Tao Hongfei, deputy captain of the third team.
"Old Tao is right. The problem of ammunition and weapons can be alleviated for a while, but if the food problem is not solved, the team's morale will be dispersed!"
"How many days will there be enough food for you?"
"If I save some food, I can still last for three days, but if I let the brothers eat enough, it may not be enough for one day!"
"One day!" Tian Xinliang frowned into the character "Chuan".
"Old Taoist, if it doesn't work, I'll take a team down the mountain and do it for a while?" Su Rongshan, the leader of the first team, stood up and started fighting.
"You're crazy. With the few broken guns of your unit and less than a hundred bullets, even Zhou Zhenxiang's security brigade can take care of you, let alone the Japanese!"
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait to die of hunger on the mountain, right?"
"How about you go and see if the temples can squeeze out some food to help us survive for a few more days?" Zhang Haitao said.
"No, we have already impeded them enough. If it is discovered that they are still secretly supporting us, the Japanese and Zhou Zhenxiang will not let them go!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Then what should we do? Do we really have to wait for death on the mountain?" Du Chengdong said with anxious eyes, "You want to die, but I don't want to die. I would rather go down the mountain and fight with them. Okay, kill a few Japanese traitors and one of them is enough." , killing two is a pair"
"Fight, what are we going to do with the few broken guns we have now?"
"What can I do if I don't fight, I'll wait to die"
"We are all seven-foot men after all, how can we die like this without any sound?"
"Yes, if you give it a try, you will die anyway, why not give it a try?"
¡¡
"It seems that it is really not easy to find you all!" At this time, a low and trance-like voice suddenly echoed above everyone's heads.
"who?"
Everyone was frying, and the enemy actually found this. Although this Shengqing Palace is not a Longtan tiger hole, it is also alert, and it is impossible for the idlers to approach it easily.
"Me!" The closed door was pushed open from the outside, and a tall black figure slowly walked in!
"Stop, don't move!" Everyone with guns in the hall raised their pistols towards the black shadow.
"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat the common people as stupid dogs!"
"The saint is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs!" Tian Xinliang's eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his mouth and said.
"Old Taoist, what are you talking about? You can say the Tao Te Ching wrong?"
¡°It¡¯s not a wrong number, it¡¯s a deliberate mistake!¡± Black Shadow explained for Tian Xinliang with a slight smile.
"Are you a special envoy sent by the headquarters?" Tian Xinliang asked doubtfully.
"What, old Taoist, you don't believe it?" Black Shadow asked.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a little unbelievable. How did you find this place, and how did you get in?"
"Tian Xinliang, whose courtesy name is Xinzhai, also known as Xingcun, is known as Taoist Tian. His ancestral home is Penglai, Shandong. Am I right?"
"Yes, yes, are you really the special envoy of the headquarters?" Tian Xinliang showed a look of surprise. Not even his subordinates here can know his ancestral home.Know.
"Don't believe it yet?"
"No, I was too surprised. We have lost contact with the headquarters for more than half a year. No one has been to Harbin except me. I wanted to send someone there, but the people I sent failed, so we just couldn't. No more sending!" Tian Xinliang explained.
"How many people did you send in total?"
"Three, a total of three were sent before and after. They are all clever young people. In order not to be discovered by the Japanese, their identities have been deliberately hidden by us. Outsiders do not know that they are our people!" Tian Xinliang explained! .
"Is there no news from all three?"
"Yes, there is no news about the three of them!" Tian Xinliang said.
"Can you tell me the identities of these three people, the time you arranged for them to go, and who knows who you sent?" Black Shadow asked.
"this¡¡"
"Could it be that you still don't believe in my identity?" The shadow lifted his hat, revealing a resolute rectangular face, with a shining light in his eyes that showed no anger or authority.
