Do you know who the prototype of the protagonist is in the famous novel Martial Arts Team Behind Enemy Lines (written by Feng Zhi) and the TV series of the same name (starring Wang Fuyou and others)? Do you know which unit the "Four Independent Brigades of the Eighth Route Army" were that terrified the Japanese and puppet troops?

It turns out that the prototype of the protagonist in the novel and TV series is Zhou Jifa, the founder and captain of the Military Work Team . The "Fourth Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army" is the external name, but it is actually the popular "Jizhong 9th Division Military Work Team Behind Enemy Lines".

There are many anti-Japanese legendary stories of the Armed Forces Team (Fourth Independent Brigade) behind enemy lines. This article will briefly introduce a few battle stories that took place in Jinnan and Binhai.

The novel "Legend of the Armed Forces Team" was written by Zhou Jifa. In April 1988, China Youth Publishing House published

to teach the Dagu Salt Police Force

After the Japanese invaders occupied Dagu , they bullied and oppressed the salt workers. Zhang Ruping and four other armed workers who were operating in the area of ​​Gegu and Xianshuigu heard the salt workers' complaints and decided to teach the Japanese and puppet troops a lesson. One night in August, members of the armed workers, led by salt worker Sun Zhongdong, broke into the salt police team, killed the sentries, rushed into the watchtower, and soon captured all the usually arrogant pseudo-salt policemen alive, and gave them a lesson in national justice. Since then, the Eighth Route Army's power has successfully expanded to the Lvjuhe and Gaoshalingzi areas that were closely guarded by the Japanese army.

Burning the enemy's granary at Xiaozhan

The rice Xiaozhan plundered by the Japanese army from Jinnan was all stored in the large granary on the southeast corner of Xiaozhan Town and on the north bank of the Hebei River, amounting to tens of millions of kilograms. The enemy built a 13-meter-high turret on the east side of the granary entrance, and installed a 1-meter-high electric grid on the wall. Deep ditches surrounded the wall. Japanese and puppet troops guarded the front and rear exits, and there were guards patrolling inside and outside the courtyard. It can be said that the barriers were tight.

In order to be absolutely foolproof, captain Zhou Jifa and political commissar Pan Yufeng first sent three military workers, Yang Keyi, Xiao Yuzhou, and Wang Junjie, disguised as handlebars transporting rice, to sneak into the granary for detailed reconnaissance, and draw a map of the enemy's deployment in the courtyard and the location of the granary. Later, another reconnaissance was sent. Late one night in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the armed workers team set off from Shibahu Village, where the Jinnan Working Committee was stationed, and marched along the Machangjia River. It was already dusk when they arrived in the west of Xiaozhan Town. After taking a short rest in a small earthen house overlooking the water by the river, Captain Zhou led his squad leader Jia Zhengxi (the prototype of Jia Zheng in the TV series "Armed Forces Behind Enemy Lines") to send people for the third on-site reconnaissance the next day. A plan to "outwit" was developed.

That night, the military workers came to hide outside the grain depot along the river embankment. At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, two team members rushed up and captured two Japanese soldiers who were changing guard alive. They put towels in their mouths and locked them in the gatehouse. Zhou Jifa led his team members to rush to the granary quickly, quickly poured kerosene on the rows of grain stacks, and lit fires at the same time. The fire burned more and more fiercely with the wind, and thick smoke billowed inside and outside the granary. The military workers evacuated quickly as planned. Since the river was frozen and there was no water available, the Japanese and puppet troops who came to put out the fire could only watch helplessly as the fire burned all night, and tens of millions of kilograms of "high-grade military rations" were reduced to ashes.

Today, the "Lishui Xinyuan" community in the southeast of Xiaozhan Town is where the Xiaozhan granary was established by the Japanese army.

Fire Money Circle Reed Storage Field

Jinnan produces "big white reed", which is the best raw material for Japan to manufacture counterfeit currency "United Tickets" to rob the wealth of the Chinese people. After New Year's Day in 1945, the Jinnan Working Committee held a meeting to implement the spirit of the instructions of Political Commissar Cheng Zihua of the Military Region on "cutting off the material resources of the Japanese invaders." Deputy Secretary Luo Tao and Working Committee members Li Yuenong, Li Zhi, and Zhou Jifa decided to burn money. The task of enclosing the reed field was handed over to the armed workers team and the third working group of the working committee, and the time was set for New Year's Eve.

The famous "Dabaiwei" was produced in Daweiwa, Qianquan District (now Qianquan Reservoir, belonging to Zhongtang Town, Binhai New Area), and all of it was supplied to the Ashpile Paper Factory (today's Tianjin Paper Factory). Qianquanwa covers an area of ​​more than 6,000 hectares. In 1944, more than 120 stacks of reeds were harvested, each stack weighing 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms.

"Woo——"! There was a sound of a reed flute, which was a signal that the front was ready.

"Order it!" said Li Qinglin, leader of the Third Working Group of the Jinnan Working Committee.

"Light the fire!" Jia Zhengxi, the captain of the martial arts team, issued the action order.Due to strong winds and strong tides, the team member responsible for lighting the fire struck dozens of matches but failed to light them. The fire in the dark night attracted the attention of the enemy sentry, who immediately fired at the reed stack. The firepower team of the armed workers' team, under the command of Ma Jinchi, immediately returned fire. Jia Zhengxi took several handfuls of dry reed leaves and crushed them with his feet, and finally lit the first reed stack. Then, Li Qinglin, Zhang Kun, Chen Binghui and others also set fire to each other and ignited the reed stack. In an instant, the money circle reed storage field turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

At this time, "Qin Baishen" (named because of superstition), the manager of the "Weiwa Company" who worked for the Japanese army, was making dumplings for the New Year with the reed guards. Suddenly he saw the fire in Weiwa burning the sky red, and there were Fierce gunfire came, and I was so frightened that my legs became weak, and I tremblingly asked for help from the puppet troops at the Xiaowangzhuang stronghold. The puppet troops in the watchtower had long been frightened by the Eighth Route Army, so how could they dare to move out? "Qin worships God" had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead more than a dozen minions to "put out the fire". As a result, Bian Yaozu's team of the military workers blasted him with a grenade and chewed the ground.

By the time Tianjin Japanese commander Ichiro Hirata and pseudo-mayor Wen Shizhen heard the news and sent troops for rescue, they were powerless.

The fire in the reed field did not go out until the third day of the Lunar New Year.

The local people were all smiling and running to tell each other, saying: "The Eighth Route Army has allowed us to have a year of repentance"!
