Suning County, Hebei Province, 19 16 was born in a poor family in Gaokou Village, Shaozhuang East. A family of six depends only on their father's short-term working life. Although their family is poor, they also scrimp and save for Zhang Qiang to study for two years. And gave him a resounding name, hoping that his future will be bright and the Zhang family will be rich and strong. In the end, due to financial constraints, he dropped out of school to follow his father in farming.
After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Suning County had a party organization leading the anti-Japanese production. At the age of 20, Zhang Qiang, with the determination of "participating in the Anti-Japanese War and driving away the Japanese devils", found a party organization and asked to participate in the revolution. He was approved as the assistant of the first district, and soon joined the China * * * Production Party. Later, he served as secretary of the district party Committee and clerk of the county finance department, and was soon promoted to section chief of the finance department.
1942 in may, the Japanese aggressors engaged in a terrible "five-year plan" in Jizhong. A sweeping ",the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines were greatly damaged, many party member cadres were killed by the enemy, and the party organizations in Suning County suffered serious losses. In order to persist in the struggle behind enemy lines, the county party Committee decided to send Zhang Qiang to the second district as the district head and resume the work in the second district.
The second district is the most hostile area. After Zhang Qiang came to power, he restored the party's grass-roots organizations and anti-Japanese armed forces, and ignited the fire of the anti-Japanese struggle in the second district. His behavior caused great panic among the Japanese and puppet troops. The enemy hated him so much that they sent spies to spy on his whereabouts and wait for an opportunity to kill him. The enemy searched his house several times, but he couldn't find Zhang Qiang, so he rummaged around and smashed it. The whole family was frightened, so they had to hide and suffer from white terror. However, Zhang Qiang did not fall under the reactionary arrogance of the Japanese puppet government and continued to struggle. He led the masses to resist taxes and grain, established and developed fort households, raised money for the anti-Japanese armed forces, destroyed the Japanese army's communication lines, cracked down on the Japanese puppet army for grain grabbing, eradicated traitors and lackeys, and fought the enemy to the death with tenacious revolutionary will.
1945 After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the organization decided to send him to the Northeast Cadre Task Force. At that time, my parents were old, my wife was weak, my little sister was only 13 years old, and my two children were still young. My parents said to him in tears, "What will happen when you leave home?" . He is indispensable at home, but he also knows that the revolution needs him more. He resolutely bid farewell to his relatives and embarked on a journey to the northeast.
1945 65438+In February, Zhang Qiang was assigned to Kangping County with a group of Jizhong cadres as the district head of the five districts. After taking office, let go to develop the masses and carry out the struggle against rape and liquidation. Chen Mengling, the three brothers of Dahuangjiawobao in this area, once took refuge in the Japanese aggressors and became the pseudo village heads of Ming Kai, Youer and Lide villages respectively, occupying more than 0/00 mu of grain fields/kloc-and more than 50 horses and mules, dominating the fish village, so he was called "the West Overlord". ? Zhang Qiang investigated and learned the evil facts of Chen Mengling and Chen Songling's cruelty to the people, and decided to liquidate "Chen Er", arrest Chen Mengling and confiscate Chen Jia's movable property. And on 1946 65438+ 10 15, a mass struggle conference in the whole region was held. More than 60 people came to the stage to accuse Chen Mengling of his crimes, and the participants were furious and shouted slogans of "liquidating Chen Mengling" and "overthrowing Xibatian". After the meeting, the district government decided to detain Chen Er, pay a fine to make amends and pay the money within a time limit. Chen Mengling had a premonition that the end was coming and escaped from prison on the evening of March 7th. After the district government found it, it immediately organized a district team to look for it, but Chen Mengling was not caught. Zhang Qiang, the head of the district, and Chen Yihua and Pang Gengxi, the instructors of the district team, decided to confiscate all the assets of the Chen family and decided that the "peasant sweeping team" would raid the Chen family courtyard on April 10.
After Chen Mengling escaped, he secretly organized a gang of gangsters to plot riots and sneak home, ready to use force to resist the liquidation struggle.
In the early morning of April 10, Chen Yihua, Pang Gengxi and correspondent Liu Guanglin went to the Chen Family Courtyard for reconnaissance. After the reconnaissance, they took the "peasant sweeping team" to raid the Chen Family Courtyard. When the three men arrived at the "Kazimen" of the Chen family compound, two forts in the west, which had already been prepared, opened fire at the same time, and Pang Gengxi, Chen Yihua and Liu Guanglin were shot and sacrificed. The gangsters dragged three bodies to the hospital and hid them, preparing to carry out large-scale armed anti-liquidation when the "peasant sweeping team" arrived.
After 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Qiang led correspondent Wu Heman Haishan to Dahuangjiawo Fort. I found no one walking in the street, and the situation was abnormal. I was afraid that the "mopping-up team" raid would be bad, so I decided to go into the village to see the situation. They rode into the "Erjiazi Gate" of the Chen family from the street. They felt even more suspicious when they saw the gate closed and the courtyard was silent. After a few steps, Chen Jiabao suddenly shot, and Zhang Qiang fell with the gunfire. Wu ran over and saw that Zhang Qiang had been shot and sacrificed. Seeing this, Manshan shouted, "Wu, get out!" Wu's voice just fell and he was shot in the chest and fell on Zhang Qiang. Manhaishan hurriedly got on the horse and ran to the outside of the "clip door". He didn't run far before he was shot down. The injured Wu woke up and broke through with injuries. Under the cover of the masses, he got rid of chasing the enemy and rushed to fourth area to report to the county government. Man Haishan was arrested and killed in the Chen family compound. The "peasant cleaning team" heard the gunshots and retreated, but survived.
On the same day, the Kangping county government immediately reported the news of Zhang Qiang's murder to the prefectural party committee, and the prefectural party committee immediately sent fourteen regiments to attack the Chen family compound. Chen Mengling escaped from the tunnel, changed his name and hid in Beijing. 1952 was arrested by the public security department and executed.
In order to commend and commemorate Zhang Qiang and other martyrs, the superior decided to name Halaqin Village as Zhang Qiang Town, and build a martyrs cemetery in Zhang Qiang Town 1959.
