At that time, the Japanese aggressors were busy going south and west. Except for more than a thousand Japanese troops stationed in Linqing and Weixian along Pinghan Road, the vast areas in southern Hebei are controlled by the "Six Points".
"Six separations" is also called "two hurdles". The congregation wore red pockets with "gossip" patterns on their chests and red cloth towels on their heads. It takes a ceremony to take part in the "Six Holidays": the "magic teacher's father" kneaded a yellow note with the words "bright" written in cinnabar into a paper ball and let it swallow it, saying that it would be "invulnerable and avoid disasters" in the future.
After the July 7th Incident, Yaoting Lee, the leader of the sixth parting party, publicly voted for Japan, boasting that he was an "improper member", "he could protect his family and village from harassment and looting by bandits" and "he was invulnerable after swallowing a spell", deceiving farmers to participate. Soon, members were forced to join the club by means of "confiscation of property and fines if they don't join", which led to a sharp increase in the number of congregation.
After Xu led his troops to southern Hebei, on the one hand, considering that most of the members of the "six points" were deceived people, it was not appropriate to solve them by force alone, and decided to carry out political propaganda. On the one hand, negotiators were sent to negotiate with the organizers of the "Six-Party Talks" to resolve the conflict, and the meeting was not listed as the object of armed attack.
Yaoting Lee thought that the Eighth Route Army was weak, not only gambling and drug trafficking, but also put forward the slogan of "saving the country and the people", so that the congregation threatened the masses not to join the anti-Japanese team and even provoked friction with the Eighth Route Army. On May 1 1, Huang, political commissar and communication staff of Jinpu detachment, went from Nangong, Shandong Province to Xiaotun and Zhangma, east of Nangong, and was unreasonably entangled in the "six-party talks". The officers and men of our army argued, but Yaoting Lee and others instigated their subordinates to attack our Jinpu detachment, snatched the radio and horses, and killed more than 20 people below Wang Yumin, the political commissar of our detachment, creating a shocking "Zhang Ma incident". Of the 42 people in our army, only 7 broke through.
In view of the rampant activities of "Six-Leave Meeting", Xu and others put forward the policy of "three points for military affairs and seven points for politics" and formulated four measures: (1) The main force assembled near Nangong, and after mobilization and education, they went to the "Six-Leave Meeting" activity area for armed propaganda. (2) Divide and disintegrate its organizations, win over the masses, conduct ethnic education, and expose traitors' plots. (3) Resolutely suppress reactionary leaders. (4) Distribute letters to the people and post notices to prevent people from panicking. While reporting to the headquarters, the leaders of the column detained them and invited Song Lai, the president of the "Liuli" in Xiaotun, to negotiate with the Nangong. However, Song and others were stubborn and refused to negotiate and hand over my captured personnel. The officers and men of the Eighth Route Army couldn't help it any longer. They captured the small village, regained the radio station and horses, and rescued several captured soldiers.
At this time, our army continued to contact with the "six points" leader, hoping to solve the problem peacefully. However, the leaders of "Six Points" are determined to fight to the end. On May 16, they ordered the congregation to attack the Eighth Route Army in Zhangma and Ganlangzhong, southeast of Nangong, and threatened to attack Nangong County. It is said that before the attack, the missionaries ate the cinnabar symbol written on yellow mounted paper, and they were "possessed by demons and invulnerable". Our army responded calmly, fired machine guns and mortars at the same time, and beat off several charges of the "six-member meeting" in a row. Finally, we outflanked with cavalry, defeated in one fell swoop and captured a group of reactionary leaders.
Because our army intends to control shooting, the "six-party" congregation suffered little casualties. However, those "miraculous" words were exposed in public, which played a positive role in disintegrating and winning over the "six-person" congregation. The next day, the leaders of the column and our local * * * held a meeting of 10,000 people in Suncun, exposing the crimes of the leaders of the "Six Separatists" who sabotaged the Anti-Japanese War and harmed the Eighth Route Army, and announced the banning of the "Six Separatists" organization. Then, a task force was sent to various villages and towns to publicize and mobilize disciples to let bygones be bygones as long as they handed over their "burdens" (vestments and amulets wrapped in red cloth, etc.). ) and got rid of the "six departures."
Under the powerful political offensive, a large number of deceived believers changed their minds. In just over two months, the "Six Points" organization collapsed, and many members of the congregation actively signed up for the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, and the anti-Japanese armed forces in Nangong, Jixian, Zaoqiang and Hengshui became one.
