Everyone says that they are heroes on the railway.
Because The place where they dance is the heart of the enemy , facing the enemy's usurpation, they bravely attacked the Japanese invaders again and again.
Knowing that the war materials were going first, they used their storm to paralyze the enemy's transportation lines again and again, and the materials they seized also provided effective supplies for our army during the Anti-Japanese armed forces.
Figure 1
To a certain extent, Railway guerrillas are the "peace of mind" for the masses , but as the founder, Xu Guangtian chose to contribute in times of hardship, but after pulling down the curtain of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he surrendered to the enemy and rebelled and destroyed his bright future. What is even more unacceptable is that the reason why Xu Guangtian convinced him to surrender to the enemy was just a banquet.
"gecko" in the dark night
wu...wu...wu...
The sound of expectation came from afar, and Xu Guangtian knew that it was time to take action.
"Brothers, are you all ready? What we did this time is a big deal. If it really happens, not only the villagers will be happy, but we can also serve the Red Army soldiers."
Figure 2
Xu Guangtian looked around in circles, unable to see anything in the dark night, but the suppressed cheers were still clearly visible.
The train, which knew nothing, walked along the path that must be passed, but suddenly there was a black shadow, as if he had used light skills, and he lay quietly on the train.
This person is the Hong Zhenhai with the highest skill in driving.
His body was like a light swallow, and the roar of the train suppressed all his movements. The remaining brothers followed closely behind and climbed on the train, carefully looking for something.
Figure 3
"Brother Hirotian, come here." The
product was found, and Xu Guangtian and others gathered together. After a smooth operation, they left the train.
The train was not known, so it was rushing away, while Xu Guangtian left behind had more than a dozen rifles and two machine guns at his feet.
This is what they are doing tonight. The goal of
was successfully obtained. In the war era when Red Army soldiers don’t have a sickle on their waists, this time the harvest is definitely considered a scarce material.
Figure 4
succeeded, Xu Guangtian and others quickly moved their weapons to the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains in October 31938, and the guerrillas he was in also became famous in one battle, but the merits imprinted on him were not just this.
He is the "gecko" in the twilight, leading the members of the guerrillas to "rob the rich and help the poor".
In the cold winter, the Red Army soldiers were just wearing thin clothes, and Xu Guangtian would go to the Japanese to transport supplies to steal black charcoal.
things are easy to go smoothly but not easy to deliver. Every time I go, Xu Guangtian is covered in black sweat and dirty.
But he always bared his big white teeth and gave all the gains to the villagers in need and the Red Army soldiers.
Figure 5
The cold winter is because Xu Guangtian has a little more warmth, and the New Year is about to be around. Xu Guangtian heard that there was cloth loading in a Japanese train, so he wanted to keep the goods.
The current situation is turbulent, what is the use of distributing it? Some of the members of
are puzzled, while Xu Guangtian only has one sentence for , "It's the New Year, you have to wear new clothes for the villagers to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and give a good omen to the end of the war."
Figure 6
It is good in mind, but when you really climb onto the top of the train, everyone thinks this matter is extraordinary.
Because the Japanese seem to be smarter.
In the past, when he was on the flat ground, most of the time, it was because the Japanese were arrogant and expected that no one would dare to rob their cars, so the doors were not closed tightly.
But this time, it was ready for battle, all of them were closed.
things fell into a difficult anxiety, but Xu Guangtian was ruthless and said , "If you are not kind, don't blame me for being unrighteous ", then waved his hand and surrounded the brothers and called them in front of him.
Figure 7
More than a dozen heads gathered together, and soon separated quickly and squatted on the hook. It doesn't matter if you squat at
. The trains were split up all the time. The trains in front were still driving with their heads high. The Japanese soldiers who were confident that they were ready even hummed the song proudly, but the cloth calculated in tons could no longer move.
"Friends, go and transport good things quickly" . After the train left, Xu Guangtian and others quickly ran to the nearby village and called people.
Figure 8
Although it was late at night, everyone stopped sleeping when they heard it. The whole family went out and moved the goods at the speed of light.
It was not until the train arrived in Xuzhou that the Japanese soldiers discovered the train's break, but it was too late and they could only suffer the loss. After
got the cloth, women from all over the country gathered quickly and quickly made a batch of new clothes to deliver them to the Red Army soldiers. The soldiers of
naturally refused to accept it, but when they saw the leader crying and said, "We are your backing. You have enough food and clothing, and you will be better than anything else after winning a battle."
In addition to these, in 1941, the guerrilla soldiers derailed the enemy carriage in three quarters, and the rewards of all three-box spoils also made the railway guerrillas more and more famous.
Figure 9
So, why did Xu Guangtian, the fourth child in his family, embark on this path?
strangle the lifeline of the enemy
The four Xu brothers were born in Coal City, Shandong. Their parents were both loyal and honest people. The family's revenue was entirely due to their father selling porridge and pancakes in the Zaozhuang mining area alone.
Figure 10
Live in poverty, but as Sier and his daughter grow up day by day, Xu's father felt more and more as he felt ashamed of his children.
Because the family has no money to support them in school, only their eldest son Xu Guanglin has studied for a few years, and the other children are "illiterate", and has also become the "source of Xu Guangtian's rebellion in the future.
The children don’t blame their fathers in their hearts, but at the age when they should have studied, they live by wandering begging and picking up cinders.
The days are dull, and their only happiness is to climb the train.
Whenever the train whistle sounds, the children will run to the rails wherever they are, and compare who will climb the train faster.
Figure 11
When they are lucky, their naughty behavior will not be discovered, but occasionally they will be preached by the railway military and police.
Climbing the train is the only thrill in the lives of the Xu brothers, but the "iron cavalry" of the Japanese army directly shattered the originally peaceful life.
In the spring of 1938, the Japanese army invaded Zaozhuang and cut through the city with a sharp blade. However, as the usurpers, they turned the Zhongxing Coal Mine into a military base.
has no mineral to open, so Xu's father naturally couldn't continue his business, and the only source of income for the whole family was broken, but what was even more disgusting was the crazy Japanese burning, killing and raped everywhere they went.
The territory was occupied and compatriots were poisoned. Xu Guangtian and more than a dozen compatriots formed an anti-Japanese team. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, the Zaozhuang Railway Team was officially established.
Figure 12
With the approval of the Lunan Military Region, the railway team was officially renamed the Lunan Railway Team in February 31940, and Xu Guangtian himself joined the Communist Party of China in the spring.
After becoming a glorious party member, the first thing Xu Guangtian did was to let his three brothers join the railway team.
There was no strong man in the family, and his father certainly disagreed, but Xu Guangtian threw out the sentence "The country is in trouble, we must do something." Under the fierce attack of , he gave up.
"Xu Banban" became the love acclaim of the Xu brothers by his teammates. In May 1940, the guerrilla team dispatched a 32-man surprise attack team led by Xu Guangtian, and directly destroyed four Japanese troops, seized 6 long and short guns and more than 100 watches.
Figure 13
Party members' awareness and high recognition of the revolution made Xu Guangtian give all their gains to the Eighth Route Army. In July 1940, Xu Guangtian and others took advantage of the Japanese army's negligence to steal two Japanese trains, causing the front of the train to collide on a bridge, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.
They are dormant people on the railway, and they are always elusive , but they are omnipotent in cutting off railways, bombing bridges, and building military vehicles. The Japanese army is so angry that they are itchy, but when they face them who immediately hide after the task is completed, they can only admit that they are unlucky.
The Japanese army hated Xu Guangtian so much that they died, but they were more afraid than they hated. They didn't want to lose their heads.
You should know that in In 1941, the guerrillas attacked Lincheng, and Xu Guangtian solved two squads of Japanese troops alone.
Figure 14
Only those who do not want to survive will dare to resist it. By 2000, Xu Guangtian's heroic deeds were still widely circulated on the land he had fought for, but unfortunately, he, who could have made great achievements, made a serious principled mistake.
Timely stop loss after one mistake
Events start with a commendation conference.
In the summer of 1943, in order to boost morale, the Shandong Military Region held a model meeting of combat heroes across the province. Xu Guangtian's strength is obvious to all. He was rated as "Class A Combat Hero" by , which is considered a popular choice.
Figure 15
Xu Guangtian himself was also very happy, but when the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan and the whole country celebrated, the smiles on his face became less and less. Whenever he saw Liu Jinshan and Wang Zhisheng, Xu Guangtian was even more angry.
The root cause is that official positions cause trouble.
Both were once under Xu Guangtian's subordinates, but when they were assigned official positions, they were "highly accomplished and overwhelmed" and held leadership positions at the bureau level.
Figure 16
As the main figure of the guerrillas, Xu Guangtian's position was actually just the squadron leader of a small spear squadron. How could he not be angry?
Xu Guangtian felt that he had received unreasonable treatment, but he only bound himself to self-pity, but did not take into account organizational considerations.
organization has never denied the fact that Xu Guangtian was a meritorious in the revolution. It was not because he was given the squadron leader because he was despised, but because the spear team had all Japanese equipment. The leader could not bear to break up, and because he valued Xu Guangtian, he handed over the job to him.
Figure 17
Xu Guangtian misunderstood the meaning of his superiors, and his dissatisfaction grew day by day. In anger, he left the house and went home. When fighting the enemy, Xu Guangtian was a top-notch player, but among the comrades in the army, everyone knew that he preferred to act voluntarily and often put personal gains and losses first.
Figure 18
Brothers all know his fault and don’t care about him normally, but this is the battlefield. Although the Japanese invaders have surrendered, the Kuomintang, led by Chiang Kai-shek , was eyeing him and attacking south of Shandong.
Figure 19
Knowing that Xu Guangtian was going home, the military leaders sent people overnight to persuade him to follow the troops to retreat, but Xu Guangtian was not found in the Xu family.
Where did he go?
is not known yet, but the enemy clearly knows the ins and outs.
Because it was their secret trick that the convincing person failed to successfully meet Xu Guangtian, which led to the deepening of the misunderstanding.
The situation is urgent, and the comrades can only leave, and the enemy also started their own drama.
They asked the traitors who were used to bring Xu Guangtian to Lincheng, and also spent a lot of money to make a table of exquisite meals that made people salivate at first sight.
Figure 20
, who believed that he was "not satisfied with talent", felt the feeling of being valued for the first time. His heart fluctuated. Faced with the convincing enemy that he wanted him to be the company commander of the spy, he agreed with the flow.
One mistake made Xu Guangtian stand opposite the revolution, but in the enemy's team, Xu Guangtian only worked for less than two months.
Although he is a little petty, after receiving the party’s education for many years, Xu Guangtian still cannot do anything that violates the interests of the party and the people.
, Xu Guangtian, who knew that he could not do it, firmly demanded to withdraw, and the enemy had to give up this "hard bone".
Because of the rebellion, Xu Guangtian was arrested by the public security forces in accordance with the law, but the organization considered that he did not have much evil deeds and had made contributions to our party and army during the War of Resistance, so it was only sentenced to two years in prison .
Figure 21
Work is work, and mistakes are mistakes.
The law will not let anyone go of a wrong person, but the country will never turn a deaf ear to merits.
Xu Guangtian took a wrong move, but his belief in his heart allowed him to stop losses in time. But what we should do more is to prevent problems from happening, and to kill all mistakes in the cradle.
After all, Only with a country can you have a family, and only with a country can you and me.
