The spring of 1942 was the most difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, and the people of Dongtai County encountered the most severe test. Due to the long-term burning, killing and looting of the Japanese and puppet troops, coupled with the years of natural disasters, a serious food famine broke out in Dongtai County.
The common people finished eating all the food, and even the grassroots and bark were eaten up. Many people were starved to death, and for a while, they were filled with sorrow and terrible sight.
Japanese army swept
Faced with such a serious disaster, the head of the Soviet-China anti-Japanese base area, decided to form a delegation of victims and go to the Haimen area to raise food and save the people. This difficult and glorious task fell on the shoulders of Shijian .
Shi Jian was an agent of the New Fourth Army at that time, and his public identity was an education clerk and supervisor in Dongtai County. The organization appointed him as the captain and took more than 10 backbone members to the Haimen area to raise food and save the people.
The situation was severe at that time, the relationship between the enemy and us was tense, the fundraising task was arduous, and I was not very familiar with the situation in the Haimen area. This food-raising mission is very dangerous, but seeing the poor people struggling on the brink of death, they all decided to complete the mission even if they fight to the death.
Before leaving, Director Song of the Central Administration of Suzhou and Central Administration reminded Shi Jian with a serious expression: "There will be many dangers and difficulties along the way, but don't panic and don't be afraid. should calmly and calmly use your brain and use your wisdom to solve the problem. " Shi Jian nodded with tears in his eyes, remembering his words firmly.
New Fourth Army soldiers
The day when they set off was heavy fog, and Shi Jian and others asked for directions while walking. At that time, it happened to be a Japanese invaders going to the countryside to sweep, and Shi Jian and others could only act scattered. After cleverly detouring and avoiding the Japanese invaders' sweep, they successfully walked to the area east of Rugao .
is not far from the destination at this time, and you can only reach the destination through a seawall guarded by heavy troops of the puppet army. So Shi Jian took four people to disguise themselves as cotton merchants and mixed in a team of cotton pulling teams. Everyone was a little nervous, but they basically walked forward calmly.
walked not far from the front of the embankment, and suddenly five puppet troops with live ammunition were walked down. The puppet troops asked Shi Jian and others to stand on the side of the road and began to search them one by one. When searching, the puppet army found that Shi Jian was carrying and a Xinmin fountain pen tied with two cotton threads, and immediately exclaimed loudly: "New Fourth Army!"

It turned out that the political cadres of the New Fourth Army had the habit of wrapping pens with threads. Shi Jian forgot this detail in desperation, but was discovered by the cunning puppet army. In this way, Shi Jian and five others fell into the hands of the enemy.
A puppet army asked the company commander of the puppet army who led the team: "How to deal with the people you caught?" The company commander of the puppet army pointed at Shi Jian and said: "Drive that head off, take the rest away."
Before the commander of the puppet army finished speaking, four puppet soldiers holding spears grabbed Shi Jian and were about to push him to the river and shoot him. At the critical moment of life and death, Shi Jian remembered what Director Song said to him when he was leaving: Don’t panic when encountering major events, don’t be afraid, and use your brain more to solve the problem.

Shi Jian said loudly: "Chinese people don't kill Chinese!" In this moment, the other four comrades came to hold Shi Jian together and said, "Chinese people don't kill Chinese people!" But the puppet army forced Shi Jian to the river.
Five puppet soldiers, Shi Jian and others were also five people. They just dragged them around, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a few minutes. Seeing this, the company commander of the puppet army seemed to be touched, so he said helplessly: "Take all five people back."
In this way, Shi Jian escaped the disaster of being shot. Afterwards, they were tied up and beaten and scolded all the way from the seawall to the puppet military headquarters eighteen miles away. The puppet military brigade was covered with barbed wire, and the puppet military brigade commander personally interrogated Shi Jian and others.

Shi Jian has been mentally prepared along the way and has a battle of wits and courage with the puppet military brigade commander. Shi Jian talked with the puppet military brigade commander as the county supervisor. Shi Jian said: "I am an elementary school teacher. The disaster is serious and people starve to death every day. My fellow villagers recommend us to come to Haimen area to raise food.If we raise food, the victims will have a way out. "
After hearing his words, the pseudo-military brigade commander thought that the civilian disaster was the truth, but he also suspected Shi Jian's identity, which was elusive. He asked him: "What's the situation when you are a primary school teacher? "So Shi Jian will compile textbooks and teach them one by one. The puppet military brigade commander asked again; "What do you think of the New Fourth Army?" "
Shi Jian replied: "I have both old and young people at home, so I rely on my teaching to make a living. I can't say such things, otherwise I'll lose my job. "Shi Jian's words were recognized by the puppet brigade commander, and he decided to let Shi Jian and others go. In this way, Shi Jian calmly and cleverly dealt with the puppet army with wisdom and passed another hurdle.
Shi Jian and others were released, and they collected more than 100 tans of corn in the Haimen area. This puts a new test for them. There are puppet troops guarding both on land and on sea. How can they transport the food back to Dongtai County?
At a loss, a great storm that had not been encountered in decades suddenly broke out on the sea. Shi Jian decided Taking advantage of this rare storm, the food was transported back to Dongtai from the sea to avoid the enemy's interception.
The danger of going back in the face of the storm was extremely dangerous, but thinking that the victims who were about to starve to death in Dongtai County needed this batch of life-saving food, Shi Jian and others decided to take the risk.
That night, strong winds and waves were stirring on the sea. The huge waves pushed Shi Jian and others' ships up to three stories high, and then pushed them under the waves. The waves rolled around and stirred, and the scene was thrilling.
Shi Jian and others did not feel afraid, but hoped that the waves could continue, because such a large waves were definitely not afraid to come out. The big storm provided them with the best cover. They overcome dangers in the fight against the big storm and finally returned to Dongtai County safely.
After the more than 100 tang of corn arrived in Dongtai, they rescued a large number of hungry people. Shi Jian and others risked their lives to raise food. Seeing that the people were saved, it was worth catching a cold and raising food. All the difficulties and dangers of the past were finally rewarded.

Shi Jian and others risked their lives to raise food, experienced the most dangerous day, and experienced a moment of life and death. Fortunately, he was calm and calm, relying on his wisdom and courage to overcome the dangerous obstacles again and again, and successfully completed the arduous tasks assigned by the organization.
This is how it is to do a revolution. Danger may come at any time. Shi Jian's experience is a true portrayal of countless revolutionaries. Many of them are unknown heroes, , but their contribution is enough to immortal...
