At the beginning of 1938, the CPC Yuncheng Party Organization established the Luxi Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, and held three training courses, each with about 50 people. Due to conditions and experience, every meal is to drink boiled water and eat wowotou. The Self-Defense Forces are called "Wowo Team" by local people. Xu from party member actively participated in the activities of Wowo Team and often went out. Soon, due to his excellent work and strong activity ability, he joined the leading group of the county party Committee and served as the organization minister. At that time, the county party Committee built an anti-Japanese team of more than 30 people. After the fall of Yuncheng, the armed forces of Wang Niangen, the county magistrate of the Kuomintang, dared not resist and fled to the countryside. However, the team led by the Communist Party of China attacked at the right time and harassed the Japanese puppet troops, which expanded its influence and gave the people hope of resisting Japan. Wang Niangen saw that this team was brave and fearless, and its ability far exceeded his team, so he agreed to cooperate with the anti-Japanese, and compiled this team into the "Yuncheng County Anti-Japanese Teaching Group".
1940, the traitor county ordered Wei Liu to consolidate the rule of Yuncheng county, and changed from fighting alone in the city to setting up strongholds in rural traffic arteries and key villages and towns. The liberated area in Yuncheng County has formed a situation of north-south division. On June+10, 5438, according to the principle that the enemy changes and we change, the higher-level party organization decided to divide Yuncheng County into Yun Bei County and Yunnan County. Yunnan County governs the four, five and six districts of Yuncheng County and the three districts of Juancheng (Hongchuanhe), and the county party secretary is Xu.
Yunan County is mostly occupied, and there are only more than 30 villages in the anti-Japanese base areas led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). The Japanese puppet government stepped up its plunder and occupation of this small piece of land. In the process of trying to destroy the anti-Japanese forces, the anti-Japanese forces in Yunnan county are facing a grim situation without support and main support. That was the worst period of the anti-Japanese situation. According to the instructions from the superior, the county party committee decided to set up three secret district committees, namely, 1 District, District 4 and District 5, with Zhang Li, Wang Wen and Wang Shuli as the secretaries of the district committees, and the contact points of the district committees were Zhangzhimen, Zhaolou and Huguantun respectively. Except for a few people who participate in public activities with government agencies and county brigades, most cadres use various relationships to disperse hidden activities, stick to the region, accumulate strength, fight against the enemy and protect the masses.
The county government is swimming. Today in this village, tomorrow in that village, where the secretary and county magistrate go, there is the county party Committee and county government. At that time, the situation was difficult, mostly at night, hiding during the day, lacking quilts, and the grass nest was a bed. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, he never takes off his clothes when he sleeps, and he can't eat well or sleep well, but Xu always maintains revolutionary optimism and high revolutionary fighting spirit with leading comrades. Every night, Lei Jianjian catches lice with his entourage to see who catches more. The reporter couldn't catch him, so he bit with his teeth along the seam of the cloth. The secretary and the county magistrate are lying in the grass nest, talking about everything and opening the county party Committee.
The team led by Xu has not only withstood the test of hard life, but also withstood the test of life and death. At that time, there were many enemy turrets and frequent movements. Anti-Japanese cadres live under the eyes of the enemy all day, regardless of their own lives. Li Ran, a member of the County Women's Federation, also handed in a qualified answer sheet to the Party with her heroic sacrifice.
During a daytime battle, they met the Japanese puppet troops in a narrow way, so Xu and others had to hide in the sorghum field and endure the scorching sun and mosquito bites. The most uncomfortable thing is to shout anti-Japanese all day long. Now I see the enemy passing by, but I can't stand up and destroy them. Think about what Mao Zedong said in Protracted War: Fight if you can, and leave if you can't, and you will feel better. In order to save strength, you can't fight hard!
In those difficult years, you can always show your true colors as a hero. On one occasion, the puppet troops came out to sweep, and Xu was chased into a small yard by eight or nine puppet troops, and went to Westinghouse to hide according to the hints of the villagers in Beiwu. After several puppet troops chased the yard, they searched everywhere and shouted, "Xu Leijian, you can't run away." Hand over your gun and grab it. We'll go back and make friends. Don't worry, come with us. If you wanted to die, you would have shot. " Xu thought to himself, "You don't want my life. You want me because you want to bring out more revolutionaries from me and destroy the anti-Japanese base areas in southwestern Shandong. No! " I can't ask you to take it away as long as I have breath! "
Xu used his quick wits and shouted to the puppet troops in the yard, "You all go to the East Room, and we can handle it easily. I will go with you. "
The puppet troops said, "You must hand over your weapons, or we won't believe you."
Xu said, "OK, I'll hand over my weapon at once, and you also put down your gun. You can't shoot. " Say, take down the box gun, tie the box gun shell with a small belt and throw it into the yard. The puppet troops were relieved when they saw this.
Xu took the opportunity to hold a pistol in his left hand and uncover the covers of three grenades in his right hand. Shouted, "Don't move!" Then he threw a Grenade outside the house. Several puppet troops were scared out of their crying souls and occupied the land one by one. Xu took the opportunity to step out of the house, then threw a second Grenade and rushed to the gate through the smoke and explosion. In order to prevent the puppet troops from catching up, the third Grenade was thrown back. Xu Leijian ran into the alley, climbed over several walls and finally escaped from the enemy's clutches.
When the puppet troops woke up, they found themselves cheated. They all became dejected and despondent, muttering, "We are idiots, and Xu Shang was cheated. Seven or eight people were holding big guns, and the meat they got told him to escape! " The puppet troops were afraid of being punished by their superiors, so they suppressed the matter. The crowd was shocked, saying that Xu Lei Jian was like Li San, and the swallow would climb over the wall and it would be flat. ...
Even under such difficult circumstances, Xu still led the cadres and the masses to work actively. In order to attack the enemy and protect the people, they used the forms and methods of struggle flexibly. In guerrilla zones, on the one hand, township organizations loyal to the anti-Japanese government are established with underground party member and progressives as the backbone, so that they can deal with the Japanese puppet government. On the other hand, guerrillas are often sent into enemy-occupied areas and guerrilla zones to fight against traitors, hegemony and capitalism.
1942, 65438+ 10, Xu personally led the four district chiefs and underground party member into enemy-occupied areas, and learned that Guo Guantun's puppet steward Zhang Moumou was a die-hard traitor. Because of his positive contribution to the construction of the fake stronghold in Guoguantun, he resolutely carried out the orders of the fake governor Liu and was named as a model steward. With the support of Liu zai, he did evil and caused public outrage. Xu immediately decided to get rid of this scum.
Zhang Moumou is from Yanchang village. Salt field is only one mile away from Guo Guantun. In some cases, it is easy to be encountered by the Japanese puppet troops, so the anti-rape action is very dangerous. However, this has not shaken Xu's determination to eliminate rape. They carefully planned and implemented the information.
That day, the guerrillas cheated Liu out of the village in the middle of the night under the banner of conveying Liu's orders. Before he knew the truth, a gunshot made him fall to the ground, motionless as a dead dog. The guerrillas thought that Zhang Guangxi was dead and quickly left the scene. Although it was later learned that Zhang Guangxi survived despite being shot eight times, this activity basically achieved his goal. Since then, Zhang Moumou has been hiding in Tibet for a long time, afraid to go home, and Pu repeatedly turned to the anti-Japanese government for help. This action gave a great shock to southern Henan, inspired the anti-Japanese masses, and set an example for those close to the Japanese puppet government.
1August, 942, Xu led six people, including Guo Shouxin, secretary of the District Party Committee of the Second District, to go deep into the activities around Chenpo's Japanese-puppet stronghold, and got the response from party member Dou Zhuang. Two gendarme agents in the county town extorted money from the people in the name of urging them to collect food money from the surrounding villages. Because the people are trapped in enemy-occupied areas, they dare to speak out and ask the anti-Japanese team to kill the people. Without hesitation, Xu immediately decided to get rid of these two scourges. He said that the six of us, with the cover of the masses, could easily get rid of these two people. But we must consider what measures to take to avoid leaving future troubles for the village. "Closing the door and beating the dog" may cause the enemy to retaliate against the masses, so it will "draw the snake out of the hole" and let the enemy know what is going on.
According to the plan, Liu Zhengan, the village chief, informed two spies that the villages agreed to pay money in Shitang Village that night and invited them to collect it. Xu led people to ambush in advance at a crossroads from Douzhuang to Shitang. Half an hour later, two spies arrived at the ambush site under the "escort" of Liu Zheng Ann and secret party member Fanxike. As soon as they acted, Liu Zheng Ann and Fan Sike grasped the two spies according to the division of labor in advance. The spies gave in easily before they could struggle. When the spy knew that the other side was the Eighth Route Army, he was trembling with fear and knelt down for mercy. Xu is very determined. No matter what tricks they play, they must never be soft. The sky was overcast at that time. In order to escape from the scene before the storm, the spy was killed half a mile away.
Xu had the same firmness in the struggle against the enemy during the revolutionary war as after the founding of New China. For a period of time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as secretary of the CPC Heze District Committee. He has always stood firm and taken a clear-cut stand in cracking down on reactionary forces and consolidating the revolutionary regime, leading cadres and the masses and doing a lot of work. Once, it took only an hour and a half to decisively destroy a Christian organization.
At that time, the staff reported a meeting in a village. The leader of the meeting claimed to be the emperor, gathered more than 20 believers, armed with broadswords and spears, and used ox carts to pull food, bedding and other items into a temple courtyard. As they walked, they shouted reactively, "Today is an auspicious day. The real dragon emperor descended to earth, ascended the throne, sat in the temple, and ruled the imperial system, refusing to obey * * *. "
As the secretary of the prefectural party Committee, Xu, with a high degree of political acumen, immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. He knew that although the economy of southwest Shandong was underdeveloped and there were gates in history, after the founding of New China, it was the first one to openly claim the title of king and emperor, and it must be severely punished. He immediately instructed the public security bureau chief to organize a police force of 30 people and personally led the team to start from the prefectural party Committee compound. When I arrived at the township, I quickly organized more than 30 backbone militia, brought the necessary weapons and went straight to the temples where the Hui people gathered.
Xu has explained this policy many times: those who take part in Huimen activities are reactionary leaders, and most of them are cheated. We should do a good job in educational transformation and guide the masses to follow the party. "
Outside the temple courtyard, the public security police shouted at the temple: "The emperor has long been defeated, and the appointment of the emperor is a deceptive trick. Don't be fooled by reactionaries. " Chiang Kai-shek's 8 million troops, as well as American-backed planes and artillery, defeated us. You can't become a climate. The party's policy is to confess leniency, resist strictness, lay down arms and return to the people's government. The only way out. "
The leaders of the meeting were extremely reactionary and organized Taoists to fight back. Five or six shirtless savages rushed out of the temple gate, waving broadswords and spears, killing the armed police and the backbone militia, cutting and stabbing, and four or five comrades fell in a pool of blood. Seeing the vicious transformation of contradictory nature, Xu immediately withdrew his troops and ordered machine guns, rifles and grenades to go into battle together to suppress the enemy's momentum and make him afraid to show up. More than 20 grenades were thrown in rows, which caused great vibration to the temple. I only heard crying and calling my mother. Someone shouted: "Stop fighting, the emperor is dead, we are convinced!" " The police and the backbone militia rushed into the temple and saw a mess before them. The "emperor" wearing the "dragon robe" died, and the believers knelt down and begged for mercy. . Xu asked the soldiers to clean the battlefield, tied up the so-called "prime ministers, generals, aunts and nuns" who were crouching in the corner and shivering, and took them away for treatment.
Because of quick action and decisive handling, the reactionary Huimen was suppressed in a very short time, and the revolutionary masses applauded. Everyone laughed at the Huimen Lord who "ascended the throne at four o'clock and died at five o'clock".
Although Xu served as a leading cadre in other provinces and cities for a long time, he missed his fighting years in southwest Shandong, sorted out the memories of Yuncheng revolutionary struggle in his later years, and provided tens of thousands of words of written materials for editing Yuncheng History.
Although Xu died in 1998, his revolutionary style will always inspire future generations.
