At the end of June 1945, Zhujubian County (now incorporated into Ju County ) the anti-Japanese government public security arrested a traitor lurking in the village in Renjiazhuangzi.
According to the traitor named Zheng Fu, the Japanese army's raid on Xiaoyue Gezhuang Village some time ago was when he and another accomplice quietly introduced the Japanese army into the village.
As soon as Xiaoyue Gezhuang Village was mentioned, the public security comrades in charge of the interrogation that night couldn't help but pinch their fingers.
That night, the Japanese army surrounded Xiaoyue Gezhuang Village. 286 militia, self-defense team members and masses in the village were brutally killed by the Japanese army, and many villagers suffered a tragic disaster.
"The other traitor must be brought to justice as soon as possible."
After learning the news, the county police leaders quickly issued an order to arrest Zheng Fu's accomplices - Zang Weixiang .
However, it was not easy to catch Zang Weixiang at that time.
Zang Weixiang is a landlord of Heilonggouzi Village. The village is located in the enemy-occupied area and is very close to the county town.
If you want to capture the other party, you not only need to cross the puppet army blockade line in Laogo Village, but also continue to go deep into the enemy-occupied area for dozens of miles, let alone bring the other party back to the government for trial.
Although the risk is very high, in order not to allow the traitor to continue to do evil, the superior leader finally decided to send capable personnel to take the risk of going deep into the enemy's backbone to arrest him.
And this "big job" eventually fell on the public security officer of Zhujubian County - Wang Ruiyu .
A few days later, Wang Ruiyu took a political guards and the two wore plain clothes and quietly set off on the road in the summer night.
Originally, Wang Ruiyu was about to bypass the puppet army blockade and sneak through the depression meadow in the south. However, that night, the two of them had just left for a short time when the sky suddenly changed.
The night was dark, and there was lightning in the low clouds in the sky. The two of them walked between the grass halfway deep, and the cool breeze swept away the heat, leaving a trace of hot moisture in the air.
"Slam" sounded, and the heavy rain suddenly poured down without warning, and the world suddenly enveloped a curtain of water.
"God is helping, we don't have to turn a detour tonight." Wang Ruiyu wiped the water from her face and said to the warriors around her.
The bad weather made the two of them feel embarrassed, but it also opened a "spoiler door" for them to cross the blockade line. At the checkpoints, the puppet soldiers standing guard and staying on guard hide in the guardhouse in order to shelter from the rain, and the sad rain curtain became the best barrier to cover the two of them.
Soon the two passed the puppet army blockade line and there was nothing wrong with it. Soon, the two came to the near Laogou Village south of Heilonggouzi Village.
Just when the two felt that the next arrest operation should be sure, four guys holding guns suddenly rushed out of the small melon shed beside the dirt road.
For a moment, four black muzzles pointed at Wang Ruiyu and the others. In the night rain, one of them shouted sternly:
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to encounter a hidden stake! What should I do?" Wang Ruiyu's heart sank, but in the flash, he leaned his heart and asked in a majestic tone:
"What are you doing!"
"I'm from the Fifth Brigade of the Second Division of the Imperial Army." When the other party heard Wang Ruiyu's tone was so hard, he answered hesitantly: "Which part of you are?"
"Leyuan Mansion (the intelligence agency of the Japanese army located in Qingdao )." Wang Ruiyu replied calmly.
When he heard it was from Leyuan Mansion, the other party's gun couldn't help but lower it. One of them stepped forward and asked:
"Do you have a certificate?"
"Yes". Wang Ruiyu took out a flashlight and took out a spy certificate wrapped in oil paper from his arms. This spy certificate was still made by the police colleagues who modified Zheng Fu's certificate. The place where Zheng Fu's photo was originally posted in the ID was replaced with Wang Ruiyu's photo.
By the flashlight, the puppet army checked the ID, then quickly returned it to Wang Ruiyu, then bent over and said sorry several times.
"I don't know that, no one wants to come out to do the job on heavy rain, but there is strict order from above, so we can't do anything about it." Wang Ruiyu pretended to be mysterious and emphasized that they would go to the village tonight to carry out a secret mission.
When several puppet soldiers heard that there was a secret mission from each other, they naturally did not dare to stop them. Then, Wang Ruiyu and the others entered the village under the compliment of the four puppet soldiers.
Before leaving, Wang Ruiyu did not forget to take away an umbrella from the other party.
and the other two came to Heilonggouzi Village, and suddenly found that the village was quite lively at this time.
Heavy rain poured down, the Wei River water began to surge, Heilonggouzi Village was facing the river, and the , the custodian in the village was beating the gong, shouting the villagers to go to the river bank to prevent floods.
Wang Ruiyu took advantage of the chaos and sneaked a villager to the crowd and asked:
"We are from the village office. Did Zang Weixiang in your village come out?"
When the other party heard that it was from the village office, he pointed to a house on the east side:
"Their terrain is high, and they are not afraid of flooding, so they must be sleeping."
After inquiring about the other party's address, Wang Ruiyu and the others quietly came to Zang Weixiang's door and knocked on the courtyard door hard.
"Who?" After knocking for a long time, someone asked inside with a complaint.
"From Leyuan Mansion." Wang Ruiyu pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice.
"Huh?!" The person inside hummed and opened the door soon.
"What's the matter with me?" The man was wearing a single dress and asked with a questioning face. Zang Weixiang really couldn't figure out what was going on in Leyuan Mansion that the people in Leyuan Mansion were looking for him in such heavy rain.
"A few days ago, Zheng Fu and you led the Imperial Army to Xiaoyuege Village and were found out by the Eighth Route Army." Wang Ruiyu stood at the door, and with the flashlight, he shook the spy certificate in front of Zang Weixiang. "The Eighth Route Army will send someone to arrest you tonight. After the Imperial Army learned the news, please contact us to transfer you overnight."
When Zang Weixiang heard that the Eighth Route Army was coming to fight against traitors, Zang Weixiang immediately became timid.
He had a pale face and nodded helplessly. After taking out a pistol from the house, he followed Wang Ruiyu and the others out of the village in the rain.
However, shortly after the three of them left the village, they heard the sound of shooting behind them.
The gunshot didn't seem to be driven by his own people. It was a little panicked, and the sound of rain was mixed with people shouting, "Stop...Stop...The Eighth Route Army is by your side..."
Zang Weixiang looked behind in surprise, a little suspicious. Wang Ruiyu guessed that it might be the enemy in the village who found something wrong and rushed over.
In order to successfully take Zang Weixiang away, Wang Ruiyu suddenly took out his gun and said to the soldiers beside him:
"Xiao Wang, the Eighth Route Army seems to be catching up. You two are running in front, I am in the back of the palace, and when I reach the Imperial Army of Chenggezhuang, it will be safe." The reason why Wang Ruiyu said that he wanted the palace was that he was afraid that Zang Weixiang would find something wrong and escape in the rain.
In the heavy rain, Wang Ruiyu's "loyalty" behavior moved Zang Weixiang. In order to survive, he became fierce and followed the soldiers in front of him and ran desperately in the mud.
That night, when Zang Weixiang followed Wang Ruiyu and the others, panting to the "resettlement site" - Cheng Gezhuang, Wang Ruiyu took advantage of the opportunity of pretending to support the other party and took advantage of the situation to seize Zang Weixiang's gun.
"Oh, my gun!" Zang Weixiang was immediately anxious when he saw that the gun had been confiscated.
"You're home, you won't be able to use this in the future." Wang Ruiyu smiled and saw the soldier next to him pull out his pistol and pressed his gun against Zang Weixiang's waist.
"You are... God, you are the Eighth Route Army?" Zang Weixiang realized that after running for most of the night, he had followed the Eighth Route Army to the "base" and came to the trap. Zang Weixiang, who had figured it out, suddenly turned pale, and with a "Oh", he couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
