In the west, Le, the political commissar of the Legion, Su Yu, the chief of staff of the Legion, and Liu Ying, the director of the political department of the Legion, led the first team to enter the Kecun area. I rested in Kecun for three days.
At that time, Kecun, located at the junction of Yixian, Qimen, Shidai and Taiping counties, established the Soviet government in southern Anhui after the peasant riots in August, opening up a red area of more than 100 miles in Fiona Fang. After Kang No.1 team arrived in Kecun, Fang Zhimin presided over a series of meetings, summed up the reasons for the defeat in the battle of Tanjiaqiao, studied the next action plan, conducted political and ideological education for the troops, and the morale of the officers and men of the whole army rose again. Fang Zhimin also met with Ning Chunsheng and Liu Yubiao, heads of the Soviet area in southern Anhui. After listening to their report, he pointed out: Now that the whole situation has changed, the main Red Army should take action. It is inappropriate for you to continue the Soviet movement here. The Kuomintang does not resist Japan. We want to organize anti-Japanese activities in the north. There are not many armed forces in your Soviet area. Ning Chunsheng took more than 300 people, more than 200 of you, and only 500 were armed. We must stick to it here. It is also pointed out that you should gradually turn the Soviet area into a guerrilla zone. Take the method of clearing the field, protect the masses and strengthen confidentiality. And left a reconnaissance battalion from the Anti-Japanese First Team, and together with the original guerrilla brigade of the Southern Anhui Red Army, formed an independent regiment of the Southern Anhui Red Army. Fang Zhimin assigned three major tasks to the independent regiment: to carry out guerrilla warfare; Carry out anti-Japanese propaganda; Vigorously develop the secret work in the white area. Fang Zhimin also left an inscription "Hold the gun tightly and let him storm" in the Hakka village, which inspired the fighting spirit of the Red Army commanders in southern Anhui.
During the stay of the anti-danger team in Kecun, the village hung red flags, put up slogans, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers. The poor peasant regiment killed pigs to send meals, sent cloth shoes to comfort the Red Army, organized stretcher teams day and night, and sent more than 300 Red Army patients to the Xinpeng General Hospital and two branches of Sanhe Sun Jia and Wangsun Laoshan for treatment. The wounded and sick who receive treatment are transferred with the troops; Some seriously wounded people who were not cured were later dispersed, and some were killed by Kuomintang reactionaries.
Fang Zhimin also delivered a speech at the mass meeting in Kecun, leading the audience to shout: "For the final victory of going north to resist Japan, a million-strong Red Army has been created" and "Long live the Red Army of Chinese workers and peasants! Long live the China * * * production party! "
Advance towards the city wall
On the third day when the anti-danger team stayed in Kecun, enemies from all walks of life invaded the area around Kecun. After arranging the wounded, the anti-danger team left Hakka Village at dawn on February 22nd 12, split up at Meixikou, passed through Xiangkou, Yangjiadun, Daxing, Yicun, Zhai Hong, Shuangkeng and other villages, passed Diaoyuling, Fangjialing and Zhang Ling, and arrived at Yixian Center.
When the anti-vanguard troops marched to Hanshan and Baguading in Bishan, they met the strong men of the Kuomintang. After hearing the news, Zhuang Jixian, the county magistrate of Kuomintang, and Ceng Zhenguo, the squadron leader of Nanchang Hangying Secret Service Squadron, led the security team to stop them. The first anti-Japanese team took out some troops and occupied the commanding heights of Baguading, Jinjishi and Dashitai, and fought from noon until 4 pm. In this battle, many people were killed and several people were captured. I only sacrificed one soldier. Zhuang Jixian fled back to the county seat and closed the city gate. After the battle, the first anti-United Front Team marched separately to Fengkou, Changling, Guangcun, Guzhu, Yoshida, Lu Guan, Chiling and other places in the southwest of the city, propagating our Party's anti-Japanese ideas along the way and posting the anti-Japanese declaration of the Chinese Red Army of workers and peasants going north. Everywhere the troops went, they wrote "Oppose Japanese imperialism to occupy the three northeastern provinces", "Support China and the Soviet Union", "Down with all imperialism" and "Down with bullies". Confiscate the property of the "new life" marketing cooperative in Zhongguang Village and distribute it to poor farmers. 65438+ On February 23rd, the anti-danger team crossed Ling Tao from Chiling Village, crossed the border between eastern Qimen and southern yi county, headed for Dangjin Street in Xiuning, and moved to Duran and Lantian.
Chongqing county
After leaving yi county on February 23, 65438, the Kangxian team moved back and forth between Xiuning, Tunxi, Shexian and Jixi in the face of the enemy's attack. 65438+February 3 1 From Tangkou south, after two fierce battles with the 1st Brigade and 21st Brigade supplemented by the Kuomintang in Fangcun and Gangcun of Shexian County, they turned to Dongkeng, Lishe, Lingxiazhu and Mukeng villages in Liren, Gao Qiao and Xiuning, and camped straight at Hongcun and Jicun. Hongcun and Jicun are market towns across the river. When the troops arrived, in order not to disturb the masses, they rested on the roadside and cooked under three big trees by the river, which moved the audience. The next day, that is, on the first day of New Year's Day, when the anti-virtuous team arrived in Bishan, they learned that a group of landlords and gentry were oppressing poor farmers, and immediately arrested and executed six ringleaders on the spot, killing the people.
In view of the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, the situation of the anti-first team is becoming more and more sinister, and it is winter weather with rain and snow. The officers and men of the Red Army, wearing thin clothes, quickly passed through yi county County from the direction of Qimen Golden Plate, avoiding the enemy, and planned to return to the Fujian-Zhejiang-Jiangxi Soviet Area to have a rest. 65438+1October 10 entered Majin, Kaihua County after a fierce battle with the enemy's 49th Division. At this point, the northward anti-Japanese advance team ended its operation in southern Anhui.
Although the northern anti-Japanese advance team fought in yi county for a short time, their revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of strong enemies, tenacious fighting and strict military discipline of not committing crimes in autumn, fair trading and caring for the masses had a far-reaching influence on the people of yi county. In particular, Fang Zhimin established an independent regiment of the Red Army in southern Anhui in Hakka village under severe military situation to cover the Soviet area in southern Anhui to fight after it was transformed into a guerrilla zone.
