In the history of revolutionary struggle in eastern Fujian, there are five important foreign revolutionaries, namely Ye Fei (general of the Republic), Ren Tiefeng (head of the Second Independent Regiment), Ceng Zhi (deputy director of the Central Organization Department), Su Da (former secretary of the Special Committee) and Lai Jinbiao (deputy commander of the Independent Division). Among them, Ceng Zhi and Lai Jinbiao came from the central revolutionary base area, and Ceng Zhi, who worked beside President Mao Zedong and Commander Zhu De, brought them to eastern Fujian. Lai Jinbiao, a military cadre, focused on the creation of armed forces and the cultivation of military tactics. Among many revolutionaries in eastern Fujian, only Lai Jinbiao received professional training in the military academy. In the military struggle in eastern Fujian, he vividly taught the experience of establishing the central base area and the first guerrilla war against "encirclement and suppression" to eastern Fujian, including the design of the military uniform of the Red Army in eastern Fujian, which greatly improved the military quality of the revolutionary forces in eastern Fujian.
Lai Jinbiao was born in 1906 and led a group of soldiers to join the Red Army in 1929. After joining the Red Army, he served as the emissary of Luo Binghui and Tan Zhenlin. Participated in three counter-campaigns in the Central Soviet Area, and fought the first counter-campaign at 1930+00. In the Kuomintang's "encirclement and suppression" base area, the reorganization division of the Central Route Army was eliminated, and "Catch Zhang Huizan in front" in Chairman Mao Zedong's "Fisherman's Pride Against the First" encirclement and suppression "praised the brilliant victory of this campaign. In the first counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", Luo Binghui and Xun Huaizhou, who later led the anti-Japanese advance team through eastern Fujian, were both concrete battlefield commanders. As the monitor of the front messenger, Lai Jinbiao witnessed the progress of the war and the joy of victory. Later, he was promoted to platoon leader. 193 1 year, according to Lai Jinbiao's performance, the Red Army Headquarters sent him to study in Ruijin Red Army Central Military Academy and Pengyang Military Academy. After graduation, he was promoted to the company commander, and he continued to send him to the Soviet military academy for study. After Lai Jinbiao arrived in Shanghai, he returned to Fuzhou because the underground contact station was destroyed by the enemy, reported to the Fuzhou Central Committee, and stayed in Fuzhou.
? During the revolutionary struggle in eastern Fujian, Lianjiang, Fuan and Shouning counties broke out earlier. In order to strengthen the revolutionary forces in eastern Fujian, the Fuzhou Central Party Committee sent Lai Jinbiao to Lianjiang County on 1932 to handle the internal affairs of guerrillas and to Fuan Central County Committee to assist in the military struggle. 1August, 932, Ceng Zhi and Lai Jinbiao were appointed by Fuan Central County Committee to assist Shouning County. At that time, the revolutionary struggle in Shouning County was divided into the Western District and the Eastern District. Guerrillas with a certain foundation have been organized in both districts. Although they cooperate from time to time, they have not fully formed a joint force. After Lai Jinbiao arrived in Shouning, he immediately set out to strengthen and integrate the armed forces, and personally established the seventh detachment of the workers and peasants guerrillas in northeast Fujian, with Lai Jinbiao as the detachment leader and Fan Zhiqing as the political commissar. In the following more than a year, this team galloped in the eastern and western regions, fought numerous battles, large and small, and established prestige in Shouning County.
? During the Republic of China, rural landlords in Shouning County widely established folk reactionary armed broadsword clubs. This kind of armed force is nominally to prevent bandits, but on weekdays it mostly oppresses the people, fishes in meat farms and kills revolutionary volunteers. Besides, they are feudal. In every battle, the mage chanted and burned rice wine, and the members drank a bowl of rice wine with symbols, then listened to the mage's orders, shouting "invulnerability" and rushed forward without fear of death. This broadsword is very harmful to Shouning Revolution. After Fan Jun's sacrifice, Lai Jinbiao and the leaders of the county party committee continued to actively guide and make good use of the "French soldiers" team of the Red Belt Society. In the battle, the guerrillas are mobile forces, and the Red Belt will be auxiliary forces. When the guerrillas (later changed to the 16th Company of the Red Army) moved to a certain area to fight, the local party organization immediately mobilized the Red Belt Society to participate in the war. At that time, the Red Ribbon Club not only used soldiers to confuse the enemy, but also used Lai Jinbiao's tactics to attack the enemy. For example, facing the cold weapon of the enemy's reactionary broadsword club and the hot weapon of the reactionary militia, the Red Ribbon Club invented an attack weapon called "Wolf Mountain", which was cut from the tail of Phyllostachys pubescens and equipped with a variety of sharp weapons. When attacking militia and broadsword club, "Wolf Mountain" opened the way. The subsequent attackers immediately went forward to solve the problem with knives, badminton and guns. The experience of establishing the Party-led Red Belt Association in Shouning County was rapidly popularized in eastern Fujian, reaching 65,438+10,000 when it was strong. Many members of the Red Belt Association among the peasants later transferred to guerrillas and the Red Army. Therefore, in the title of "Master Shouning", in addition to the seven teams led by Lai Jinbiao (Red Sixteen Company), there is also the meaning of honoring Shouning County as a "master" sent to other counties to guide the establishment of the Red Belt Society. According to statistics, during the period of 1933, the Soviet area was continuously expanded in the military struggle of Shouning County led by the Party and Lai Jinbiao. At that time, the Soviet regime was established in 64 villages in the county.
? During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, weapons and ammunition were the lifeblood of the team. Guns and ammunition are particularly precious in teams lacking in equipment. Every time the guerrillas fight, seizing guns and ammunition has become an important military purpose. In order to better protect himself, attack the enemy and save hard-won weapons and ammunition, Lai Jinbiao never forgot to improve the military quality of soldiers in the process of leading troops in the Seventh Detachment of Workers and Peasants Guerrilla War in Northeast Fujian and the later Red Sixteen Company and Red One Battalion. He believes that as a Red Army soldier, every bullet should kill an enemy and never shoot or waste bullets on the battlefield. To this end, he launched the "sharpshooter" movement, taking the lead in strengthening shooting training in the seventh detachment and later the Red Sixteen Company. As soon as the battle is over, the soldiers are asked to practice aiming. At that time, the troops were not equipped with guns, so Lai Jinbiao asked the soldiers to practice in turn. Under his intensive training, everyone in the former Shouning No.7 detachment and the later Red Sixteen Company was a sharpshooter and became a strong team. In an attack on the eastern bunker, the leader of the reactionary militia relied on the strong bunker to fight against the enemy. Lai Jinbiao and the Seventh Team fought calmly, and the enemy was beaten by guerrillas as soon as he stirred up. 1933 From March to June, Lai Jinbiao won "nine wars and nine victories" with the guerrillas in the southern district. Under the attack of the Red Army guerrillas led by Lai Jinbiao, the local government of the Kuomintang in Shouning County was greatly shaken. After the establishment of Fuan Central County Committee and Soviet regime, Shouning County Revolutionary Committee was also established in 1933 1 1. Lai Jinbiao served as a military member of the county party committee. The red regime in Shouning County once occupied a large area of two-thirds of the county's population, but some important towns became isolated islands in the sea of Wang Yang in the guerrilla war between workers and peasants.
? Nanyang, Shouning County is an important town, located in the east of Shouning. This town is located between Shouning and Fuan County and Taishun County in Zhejiang Province. The armed forces of reactionary landlords in the town are rampant. At the beginning of 1934, the Shouning County Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to pull out this "hard nail" and take the seventh guerrilla detachment led by Lai Jinbiao as the main attack. 1.4 in the early morning, Lai Jinbiao sent three soldiers to replenish water. With lightning speed, the sentry at the door was solved. Lai Jinbiao led the commando team to quickly break into the landlord's mansion, killing more than 20 people. He also mentioned that the big landlords and bullies had no time to escape to the lobby and were shot after announcing their crimes, which greatly shocked the four sides. Ye Wenfeng, then the head of the Kuomintang in Shouning County, was terrified, preferring to abandon his official position rather than put his life in Shouning.
? 1934 65438+ 10/3 According to the instructions of Fuzhou Central Municipal Committee, Fuan Central County Committee decided to set up the Second Independent Regiment of the Workers and Peasants Red Army in Northeast Fujian, with Tiefeng as the head and Ye Fei as the political commissar. On February 10, Ma, secretary of the Central County Party Committee, rushed to Shouning to reorganize the seventh detachment of workers and peasants guerrillas in northeast Fujian into the sixteenth company of the Red Second Regiment, with Lai Jinbiao as the company commander and Fan Gang as the instructor. According to Lai Jinbiao, a model figure who served as the second secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the party secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications after liberation, Lai Jinbiao was the first instructor in his military career. "When I was a political instructor in the 16th Company in the early days, I was not good at marksmanship because Lai Lianchang patiently and meticulously taught me to use a gun, which greatly improved my marksmanship."
? After the Red Sixteen Company was incorporated into the Independent Second Regiment of the Red Army in eastern Fujian, as the main force of the revolutionary military in eastern Fujian, its activities were no longer limited to Shouning. On March 25th, 1934, Lin, Huang Xinbu and Qiu Futai, leaders of Chixi Guishan Broadsword Club in Ningde County, conspired to lead the Broadsword Club to * * * and tricked more than 70 guards from Ningde County Committee of the Communist Party of China into entering the village. That night, Lin and others arranged for the broadsword club to kill all 70 armed men, including Ye Xiuquan, secretary of the county party committee (Ye Xiuquan, pioneer of Shouning revolution). On April 2 1 day, Ye Fei, Lai Jinbiao and others led the Red Sixteen Company and the nearby Red Guards to Guishan, Chixi and Ningde, annihilated more than 200 vigilantes and broadswords, seized more than 20 guns and countless broadswords, and arrested and executed three masterminds, including Lin. Later, the Red Sixteen Company conquered the reactionary militia strongholds in Ningde Guanling, Xi and Fu 'an and the reactionary armed guild hall in Fu 'an, and moved to Yang Zhe, Zhoudun and Xia Ding. It is recorded in the revolutionary history books of eastern Fujian: "At this time, the Red Sixteen Company had more than 150 guns and became the main force of the Red Army in eastern Fujian." "Except Lai Jinbiao, the others are Shouning soldiers." "They have high political consciousness and military quality." "They swept away a thousand troops, won the reputation of the Red Army and defeated the reactionary militia."
? 1934 In May, during the Red Sixteen Company's going out to fight, a brigade of the 84th Division of the Kuomintang Zhejiang Garrison entered Shouning at the request of the Kuomintang Shouning County Party Department. The enemy built carved castles in the passes of Yuanyang, Ban Ling, Xianfeng, Nanyang and xia yang, forming a blockade line and cutting off the contact between Ganglong Soviet area and the outside world. Among them, Yuanyang was the largest defender with about 400 enemies. /kloc-On the night of June, 0/6, we set out in the light rain. When the team arrived at Houmen Mountain in Yuanyang, the enemy didn't sleep. According to the prior investigation, the main enemy is stationed in the home of the big landlord in the center of the village, behind which is a warehouse. About two classes are defending, and the other class is led by a platoon leader and serves as a "sentry" in a house at the entrance to the village. Lai Jinbiao and Paradigm decided that nine sharpshooters from each platoon would take the lead in solving the enemy soldiers at the village entrance, while the main force 1 platoon and platoon 2 would detour from the two wings of the village and ambush around the big house in the center of the village to prevent large enemy troops from coming out of the house to reinforce, and platoon 3 would be responsible for solving the enemies in the warehouse. After the attack order was issued, Wu Wudi, the squad leader of the Red Army, took the lead in solving the sentry outside the village entrance and led a team to rush upstairs in the room. In less than a few minutes, all of them formed a team to defend the enemy. After the enemy in the middle of the village heard gunshots from the entrance of the village, about one platoon of enemies rushed out of the gate in an attempt to occupy the house at the entrance of the village. Lai Jinbiao led the soldiers to stop calmly, leaving a pile of enemy bodies at the door, and the enemy quickly retreated into the big house. Wu Wudi, after keeping watch at the village entrance, led the sharpshooter to join the ranks of surrounding the big house, aiming at the small back door accurately, and all the bullets failed, forcing the enemy not to leave the house. Facing the enemy, Lai Jinbiao pointed a gun at the door. The enemy emerged one by one, and he and his soldiers counted bullets and heads. At the same time, the enemy in the warehouse was wiped out under the attack of the third platoon. After collecting the guns and bullets, the soldiers wanted to continue attacking the enemy in the main house, but the enemy relied on the solid courtyard wall for cover. At this time, the scouts reported that the enemy reinforcements were coming, and Lai Jinbiao and the paradigm people had to order the soldiers to quit the battle. In this battle, more than 40 people were wiped out, 2 people were captured and several people were injured. The capture of 7 1 pike and a large number of ammunition and other military supplies greatly humiliated the Kuomintang defenders, scared the nearby enemy strongholds to retreat, and opened the traffic in the Ganglong Soviet area in northeast Fujian.
? 1June, 934, the temporary special committee of Mindong of the Communist Party of China was established, and the 16th Company of the Red Second Regiment was ordered to be upgraded to the 1st Battalion of the Red Second Regiment, with Lai Jinbiao as the battalion commander and a model figure as the instructor. 1In August, 934, the anti-Japanese advance team of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants led by Xun Huaizhou, Le and Su Yu passed by Mindong and joined the Mindong Special Committee Ye Fei. According to the suggestion of the Anti-Japanese Advance Team of the Central Red Army, on September 30th, the Red 13th Regiment, co-edited by Mindong Temporary Special Committee, was active in some main forces in Lianjiang and Luoyuan areas, and the Red 2nd Regiment was active in Fuan, Shouning, Xiapu, Yang Zhe and Zhoudun areas, as well as the independent camp at Xiapu Sea, with Feng Pintai, political commissar Ye Fei, deputy commander Lai Jinbiao, political department director Ye Xiufan and chief of staff Xu Geng. From1August, 932 to1September, 934, Lai Jinbiao experienced more than two years of tempering with blood and fire, from Shouning County to the establishment of the seventh detachment of workers and peasants guerrillas in northeast Fujian, and then to being incorporated into the Red Second Corps as the sixteenth company commander, promoted to battalion commander, head of the first regiment and deputy commander of independent divisions, and his position in the army was rapidly improved. This reason stems from organizational trust and Lai Jinbiao's military genius and
? During the period of 1934, the agrarian revolution in eastern Fujian was in full swing, while the central revolutionary base in western Fujian was subjected to a large-scale "encirclement and suppression" by the Kuomintang reactionaries. After the failure of the fifth counter-campaign against "encirclement and suppression", the Central Red Army was forced to withdraw from the revolutionary base in western Fujian and carry out the 25,000-mile long March. 1On April 3, 934, the Fujian Provisional Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China was destroyed by Kuomintang agents. In order to avoid being arrested by the spy team led by Chen Zhishu, the former temporary provincial party secretary who has become a Kuomintang spy, the Mindong Party organization cut off its relationship with the provincial party committee and naturally cut off its contact with the central government. Therefore, when the Red Army withdrew from western Fujian and the Kuomintang deployed a military terror "encirclement and suppression" against eastern Fujian, the Eastern Fujian Special Committee and the Independent Division of the Red Army were unaware of it.
? 1934 12 Chiang Kai-shek exclaimed at the Nanchang camp military conference that "the military development in eastern Fujian was faster than it was a few days ago." Immediately, while deploying the encirclement and interception of the Central Red Army on the way to the Long March, we divided our troops to "eliminate" the revolution in eastern Fujian, and appointed Jiang Weifu, the right-hand man of the Red Army who "encircled" western Fujian and the director of the appeasement office. The 70th Division, 84th Division, 87th Division, newly-compiled 10 Division, Marine Corps and local reactionary forces were sent to carry out a large-scale "encirclement and suppression" of counties in eastern Fujian, starting from Minjiang Estuary in the south and reaching southern Zhejiang in the north. The leaders of the temporary special committee and county organizations in eastern Fujian have never met such a dense scale of Kuomintang regular army and reactionary armed forces. In the face of the surging Kuomintang regular army and local reactionary armed forces, although the Red Army won several small victories, its base areas were shrinking and even falling. Chiang Kai-shek adopted the method of dealing with the Central Red Army in the west of Fujian, and implemented strict measures such as fortress policy, continuous security, household registration and clearing the countryside in the east of Fujian, which made the Red Army in the east of Fujian fall into an extremely difficult situation. In particular, Baizhuyang, the base of Fuan, the Soviet regime in eastern Fujian, was violently attacked by the enemy and even bombed by planes. Landlord returning groups rose to lead the way to "encircle" the Red Army guerrillas and kill Soviet cadres. At this juncture, there are differences of opinion within the Special Committee on whether to abandon the base area or stick to it. 1935,65438+10 13 night, the temporary special committee of eastern Fujian held a military meeting in Yangmianshan and had a heated discussion. Deputy Commander Lai Jinbiao attended the meeting. He analyzed the current grim situation from the perspective of long-term combat experience, quoted the strategic shift in Jinggangshan period, and put forward the idea of avoiding its edge, jumping out of the periphery and preserving its strength. At first, the main leaders of the special Committee did not agree with this idea. This idea was unanimously endorsed by the comrades attending the meeting. On the question of how to "fight a battle", everyone focused on Lai Jinbiao, the head and deputy division commander of a certain regiment. In order to implement the resolution of this meeting, on June 5438+0935 65438+ 10 15, the independent division ambushed in Xizhucha, which is at the junction of Fuan and Yang Zhe. The battle was commanded by political commissar Ye Fei, division commander Feng Pintai and deputy division commander Lai Jinbiao. When two battalions of Enemy New 10 Division entered the Xizhucha Valley, the independent division was attacked by a regiment led by Feng Pintai and two or three regiments led by Lai Jinbiao respectively. The battle lasted for more than three hours, destroying a large number of enemy troops, but the equipment of the Red Army was also greatly consumed. This battle is also the biggest positional battle after the establishment of the independent division of the Red Army in eastern Fujian.
? When the battle went on for more than three hours, the scouts in front reported that the enemy reinforcements had come, and the Mindong Independent Division had to quit the battle, but the Kuomintang army, which was looking for fighters everywhere, never missed the opportunity. The enemy robbed the Red Army of its retreat and set an ambush near Sanjiaolin Village in Shouning. When the second and third regiments of the independent division arrived in this area, they were surrounded by Kuomintang troops. In order to protect the main force, the political commissar of Ye Fei decided to deploy more than 40 soldiers to form a commando team. Lai Jinbiao volunteered to be the commander of the commando team. In order to attract the enemy, Lai Jinbiao chugged around with a machine gun on his back, shouting while fighting, fighting his way out, breaking through the heavy encirclement of the Kuomintang army and moving his troops to Ande area. On March 1, the troops joined forces with the main forces in Chaping Natural Village, Niudong Village, Chixi, Ningde. But by this time, the troops had been completely exposed to the enemy's guns, and a new regiment of the Kuomintang's new 10 division had set up a blockade in front. In order to cover the transfer of troops, Lai Jinbiao took another step forward and shouted, "Come with me with bullets!" With a machine gun, he led more than 30 soldiers to occupy the back hill to stop the enemy and cover the main retreat. All the soldiers around him died after the bullets ran out. Lai Jinbiao still took the machine gun and finished the last bullet. At this point, he was shot many times, still pointing his gun at the earth, supporting his body and trying not to fall down. Seeing that Lai Jinbiao was out of bullets, the enemy tied him up and put him in the sweet potato basket. Before Lai Jinbiao died, the enemy dragged him to the ground until he died. The enemy cruelly cut off Lai Jinbiao's head and hung it on the gate of Gantang Town, Fu 'an. Lai Jinbiao, a lean red army who was loved by the people in eastern Fujian, died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
? The news of Lai Jinbiao's sacrifice spread to the soldiers of the independent division who rushed out of the encirclement, and the soldiers burst into tears. Soldiers hate that their guns are empty, and they can't go back to the front to avenge Deputy Commander Lai. The people in Gantang Town stayed behind closed doors and secretly lit incense sticks for Deputy Commander Lai at home to pay homage to the Red Army heroes.
Lai Jinbiao, a brave soldier, died in the battlefield filled with smoke in order to preserve the strength of the Red Army in eastern Fujian and protect his comrades. The independent division of the Red Army, protected by Lai Jinbiao, quickly came back to life. In the three-year guerrilla war from 1935 to 1937, it continued to survive and develop. The living soldiers remembered the instruction of the deputy commander Dundun, inherited and carried forward the heroic and tenacious spirit and sharpshooter style of Deputy Commander Lai, and achieved a success. At the end of 1937, after arduous negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Independent Division of the Red Army in Mindong was reorganized into the Sixth Regiment of the New Fourth Army, with Lai Jinbiao's good partner and political commissar Ye Fei as the head and Ruan Yingping as the deputy head, and left for the anti-Japanese battlefield in northern Jiangsu. The genes of the Red Army in eastern Fujian have been continued in the New Fourth Army and the People's Liberation Army. Generations of revolutionary soldiers will never forget where they came from and what tasks they will undertake.
? Lai Jinbiao, the god of war, will always be the pride of the old revolutionary base areas in eastern Fujian, and Comrade Lai Jinbiao will always live in the hearts of the people in eastern Fujian!
