" Unfortunately, a traitor appeared in the family, causing General Lu's life and death! Today, the old man killed his relatives for justice and eliminated harm for the people, hoping to atone for his previous sins! "
In 1940, in the cemetery of the New Fourth Army base area , I don’t know when a bloody head appeared! When the person responsible for cleaning the cemetery found out, he quickly reported the matter! Not long after, Peng Xuefeng, captain of the Sixth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, came to the cemetery!
"What is going on with ? Where is the head? " Peng Xuefeng asked.
" is in front of Captain Lu's tombstone! There was none last night, but a head suddenly appeared this morning! We didn't dare to move, we don't know what it means. " the staff member replied.
Peng Xuefeng observed carefully and saw that there was indeed a head placed in front of the tombstone of Lu Yuting, captain of the First Corps of the Sixth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, who died not long ago! This man's head is covered in blood, but from his eyebrows and hairstyle, it can be seen that this is the head of a Chinese! Under the head, there is a small blue cloth bag. Peng Xuefeng opened the cloth bag and saw a yellowed piece of paper inside. He opened the piece of paper and found that what was written on the paper was the sentence at the beginning of this article!
Unknowingly, Peng Xuefeng’s eye circles were already a little red! He didn't speak, turned around and left silently!
This murder incident is a very sad story. And the New Fourth Army general Lu Yuting who had been buried was the cause of everything!
Lu Yuting is a patriotic general who embarked on the road of revolution because of the Anti-Japanese War. He is from Yongcheng, Henan, and his family is very wealthy. In 1919, he studied in Beijing and was influenced by the May 4th Movement. He began to have the idea of saving the country and the people. Later, he transferred to the Henan School of Political Science and Law. After graduation, he lamented the serious national disaster, so he decided to abandon literature and join the military and was admitted to the Henan Hongwei Military School. After graduation, he served in the small warlord "Yu Army" and later served as the county magistrate of Wu'an County, Henan Province.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Lu Yuting served as the Secretary-General of the Security Department of Henan Province due to his military background. Lu Yuting was dedicated to resisting Japan, but was marginalized by his superiors and colleagues. Later, he felt angry, so he returned to his hometown of Yongcheng County and became the county magistrate. I thought that with real power in hand, I could rest assured to fight against Japan, but I didn't expect that I would still be suppressed by high-level officials repeatedly! Only later did he realize that the higher-ups were forcing him to go to war with the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army!
Lu Yuting has a deep patriotic enthusiasm. He believes that when this national crisis occurs, the whole of China should be united in dealing with the outside world! Therefore, no matter where he served, he had good relations with the Communist armed forces that actively resisted Japan. In order to fight against Japan together, Lu Yuting also tried his best to help our army. And his approach is exactly opposite to the thoughts of the top brass of the national army! Those diehards had asked Lu Yuting more than once to send troops to create friction with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, but they were always rejected. As a result, those insidious senior generals began to treat Lu Yuting with cold eyes. Later, the Japanese army attacked Yongcheng City. Although Lu Yuting resisted hard, he could not wait for reinforcements. In the end, Yongcheng County was captured by the Japanese army, and a large number of people were displaced!
This defeat made Lu Yuting extremely disappointed with his superiors. So he voluntarily resigned and then sold all his property. He bought all the money in exchange for guns and ammunition. After that, he recruited troops in his own name and soon organized a team of several hundred people! Lu Yuting took his own armed force and frequently attacked the invaders! In less than half a year, he fought more than 20 battles without losing a single one! His team has grown to nearly a thousand people!
As soon as he saw that Lu Yuting's team had grown stronger, those "high peaks" who had abandoned him began to extend an olive branch to him again. However, since you ignored me back then, don’t say I can’t reach you now! Lu Yuting simply ignored their so-called "recruitment". At this time, the New Fourth Army also began to develop in the Yongcheng area. Lu Yuting immediately sent people over to discuss the issue of joint resistance against Japan with the New Fourth Army.After that, the two teams began to join hands to fight against Japan!
With daily interactions, Lu Yuting began to accept the ideas of the Communist Party. He deeply realized that only the Communist Party's troops could truly fight the Japanese and save the people! Only such a team has a future and is a team worth entrusting to oneself. So on August 29, 1939, Lu Yuting officially joined the New Fourth Army! His team was also reorganized into the 1st Corps of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment, with Lu Yuting serving as his own captain.
After finding his faith, Lu Yuting's fighting power was even more inspired. He moved to Xia (Yi), Yong (Cheng), and Dang (Mountain) areas, frequently attacking local Japanese and puppet troops. In just three or four months, he destroyed more than 50 Japanese strongholds and wiped out more than 1,300 enemy soldiers. Later, with the help of party organizations, he opened up the Xia Yongdang Anti-Japanese Base Area and became a general with strong military and political capabilities. On November 11, 1939, the New Fourth Army guerrilla detachment was reorganized into the sixth detachment, and Lu Yuting still served as the captain of the first corps. At this stage, he had a very good relationship with detachment leader Peng Xuefeng. The two often discuss revolutionary classics and war insights together, which is very speculative.
In February 1940, the Japanese army began to launch "key strikes" in North China and Henan, and at the same time sent a large number of Japanese and puppet troops to invade the anti-Japanese base areas. Because the battle line was too long, Lu Yuting, who was stationed in the Mangdang Mountain area, seized the opportunity and attacked frequently. In just one month, they annihilated more than 60 Japanese soldiers under the command of Captain Sano and hundreds of puppet soldiers! At this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Xuzhou were beaten anxiously! They dispatched thousands of troops from the 21st Division's Honye Brigade and the Puppet's 3rd Army to launch a dragnet-like search in the vicinity of HT8 and Yongcheng in Mangdang Mountain. However, Lu Yuting used his troops flexibly and no enemy found him.
After many days of searching without results, the Japanese army resorted to the most ruthless trick: they posted notices in the county town, claiming that anyone who provided clues about Lu Yuting himself or where he was stationed would be rewarded with 500 ocean . ! But if they don't get any information within a month, they will increase the taxes of the nearby people! As soon as the
results announcement came out, it really caught one person's attention. This person is a dandy near Yongcheng named Wang Shurong.
Wang Shurong is the only son of local landlord Wang Huaquan. Due to the pampering of his family, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is uneducated and incompetent. When he grew up a little, he also learned to steal, molest women, and eat king's meals. The people in Yongcheng hated this man deeply. But since he never made any big mistakes, the local police couldn't control him even if they wanted to.
After Wang Shurong learned about the reward, his thoughts started to change. In fact, he had already become a shameful traitor as early as after the Japanese army occupied Yongcheng. But because he has no abilities, even if he is a traitor, he will not be able to reach that high level. He can only be a follower, so he is usually looked down upon by the Japanese and other traitors. At this time, he thought that if Lu Yuting could be handed over, he would not only be able to make a fortune, but also "contribute", and he might become "tremendous" in the future!
Coincidentally, Wang Shurong's cousin Wang Liang was a cook in the New Fourth Army. Wang Shurong once met his cousin in the county seat and followed him unprepared. Therefore, he knew the exact location of the New Fourth Army's station in Mangdang Mountain. So Wang Shurong reported this information to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army immediately arranged a strike mission!
On the night of March 31, 1940, thousands of puppet troops set off in secret and surrounded the station of the 1st Corps. At this time, Lu Yuting did not expect that his position would be exposed, so he did not take relevant precautions. At 8 o'clock in the morning on April 1, the enemy's artillery suddenly launched an attack and launched an indiscriminate bombardment on Lu Yuting's troops. Immediately afterwards, thousands of puppet troops divided into four directions and launched a charge. Lu Yuting was caught off guard and still responded calmly. After discussing with political commissar Kong Shiquan, he decided to break the troops into pieces and break out of the encirclement. Lu Yuting himself led the special agent company to quickly seize Liheilou, an important transportation thoroughfare, and built positions at extremely fast speeds to block the Japanese army and cover the evacuation of others.However, the firepower gap between the enemy and ours was too great. Lu Yuting died after being shot several times in a desperate fight!
After the war, the local people and New Fourth Army soldiers were extremely sad! They spontaneously collected Lu Yuting's bones and erected a tombstone for him in the cemetery in the base area!
After this, the most alarming thing was Wang Shurong, the traitor who betrayed Lu Yuting. He never expected that even though he received the reward, he would also become a street rat that everyone in Yongcheng County wanted to beat! The common people hated him for surrendering to the enemy and treason, and wanted to eat his flesh and sleep with his skin! The New Fourth Army has also received intelligence, known about his existence, and organized an anti-rape team to deal with him! Wang Shurong didn't expect that these five hundred yuan would be so hot to get! So, he didn't dare to stay in Yongcheng any longer, so he packed up and returned to his hometown in the countryside!
Wang Shurong's father, Wang Huaquan, although he is a landlord, is not the kind of evil person who is unkind because of his wealth. He usually takes good care of the villagers. In times of famine, he always gives alms to the villagers as much as he can. So his reputation is still good. But there was really nothing he could do about his son. After all, this is the only child in his family. Even if he is naughty, he cannot bear to be severely punished!
After Wang Shurong came of age, Wang Huaquan made great arrangements to marry his son a wife, thinking that this would make his son more honest. However, instead of getting better, Wang Shurong got worse and even became a traitor! After that, every time Wang Huaquan went out, he felt like someone was talking about him behind his back, and he felt increasingly stressed.
When Wang Shurong came home this time, Wang Huaquan was quite happy. He felt that maybe his son had broken up with the Japanese and wanted to go home and live an honest life. Unexpectedly, Wang Shurong felt restless after returning home and stayed in the room without coming out. Wang Huaquan thought, this is good, at least he won't cause trouble. So he began to deliver three meals a day to his son's house and took good care of him.
On this day, Wang Huaquan wanted to chat with his son, so he strolled to the backyard. At this time, the sound of chatting was heard in the room. It was Wang Shurong and his wife talking. Wang Huaquan didn't interrupt, and stood outside the door and listened carefully.
These days, Wang Shurong has also been depressed. So when I spoke today, I told my wife everything. He admitted that he betrayed Lu Yuting and received the reward. At the same time, he also felt that he could no longer stay in his hometown. He wants to take his wife to live in Nanjing once the limelight is over! Nanjing was under Japanese influence, and there were probably traitors everywhere. Once you go there, maybe no one will make things difficult for you!
Wang Huaquan, who was standing outside the house, was shaking with anger! He didn't expect that his son would become the scum of a nation! He betrayed Lu Yuting, which made many poor people suffer! Nowadays, the Japanese are more rampant than before and their oppression of the people has become even more severe. It turns out that it is all thanks to this traitor!
Wang Huaquan returned to his room, feeling angry no matter what he thought. He hated himself, how could he be born with such a thing? If he is allowed to live in this world, he will be sorry for his ancestors and his fellow villagers. How can he still have the dignity to live in his hometown in the future? What's more, he became a traitor and betrayed the captain of the New Fourth Army. How big a crime is this? Should I still cover up such a sin? In the end, Wang Huaquan decided to get rid of this scourge for the people of the world! He must do this, even if this scourge is his only son!
So late that night, Wang Huaquan, armed with a sharp ax, entered his son's bedroom. With a splash of blood, the father killed his son with his own hands! That's not all. He cut off his son's head and took it to the New Fourth Army cemetery overnight to pay homage to General Lu Yuting. At the same time, he felt so sad that he wrote a note and put it under his head!
Immediately afterwards, the scene at the beginning of this article happened. The cemetery staff found the head and reported it to the detachment commander Peng Xuefeng. Peng Xuefeng found the note. After reading it, he understood everything and could only hold back tears and leave silently.
The reason why General Peng Xuefeng said nothing was because he didn't know what to say at this time.It is a painful thing for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift, let alone doing it yourself! One can only imagine the pain Wang Huaquan felt at that time! Even if Wang Shurong is guilty and Wang Huaquan has been guilty, they have been wiped out with this person. What else does he need to say? At the same time, he knew very well that only by driving the invaders completely out of China and making the people rich and powerful would similar tragedies not happen again!
Later, in order to commemorate the anti-Japanese hero Lu Yuting, the New Fourth Army named the library of the 4th branch of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University "Yuting Library", and the newspaper published by the First Corps was also named "Yuting News"; the common people were very fond of this Heroes are also never forgotten. Later, Lu Yuting's hometown, Shanchengji, Yongcheng County, Henan Province, was renamed "Yutingji". The people of Yongcheng built the "Yuting Temple" for him at the southern foot of Mangdang Mountain to commemorate him forever. This revolutionary who "became a monk halfway" has also become an anti-Japanese hero that the people will always commemorate!
