943, Li Jianbei, head of the Transportation and Development Section (Transportation Section and Distribution Section) of the Five Prefectural Committee of Hebei South, escorted Comrade Han Xueyong, the Propaganda Minister of the Prefectural Committee, and set out from Houmazhai Village, Shicun Township, Wuyi County to assist the Guxian Prefectural Committee in carrying out its work.During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the number of actions taken by the Department of Communications and Development was in charge of escorting cadres was countless. However, this escort impressed Li Jianbei very deeply.
Because in that operation, something happened suddenly when the traffic officer who was originally preparing to contact the link.
The trafficman, named Su Jianzhong, lives in Qiantuying Village, Guxian.
That afternoon, when the two of them arrived at the entrance of Qiantuying Village, they suddenly found that two "yellow dogs" came out of the entrance of the village (the despicable name for the puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War).
To be cautious, Li Jianbei and Han Xueyong did not enter the village directly at that time, but pretended to pass by and walked around the village again.
Then, the two met an old man who was about to return to the village in the north of the village. Li Jianbei went forward and asked, but he found out that the night before yesterday, Su Jianzhong was captured by the Japanese and puppet troops into the village.
Back then, the anti-Japanese war environment in 号 was very difficult. Amid the continuous encirclement and suppression of the enemy, there were only a dozen anti-Japanese cadres in the county, and the contact location of the prefectural committee often changed.
As a traffic officer of the Gucheng Prefectural Committee, Su Jianzhong's arrest caused the contact between Li Jianbei and Han Xueyong and the Guxian Prefectural Committee to be interrupted.
This sudden change made Li Jianbei scratch his head at that time. After all, under such circumstances, it would be very dangerous and quite irresponsible to continue to lead the Propaganda Minister to look for the county party committee everywhere.
thought about it again and again, Li Jianbei then led Han Xueyong to Wu Benzhu, a fortress in Tanglin Village, Tanglin Township, Zaoqiang County. That night, Wu Benzhu quietly opened the cellar in the backyard and let the two of them get in.
In the cellar, Li Jianbei told Han Xueyong what he planned:
"I'm going out to find the county party committee tomorrow."
"Do you still know someone?" A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in Han Xueyong's heart.
Li Jianbei shook his head and said in a hoarse voice:
"In this situation, the enemy outside is very rampant. After Comrade Su Jianzhong was arrested, my thread was completely broken. Now that I went out, my eyes were dark outside. To be honest, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was very difficult."
Li Jianbei said, looked at Han Xueyong, and then continued:
"I'm going out this time. If I haven't come back yet in five days, there are only two situations. It's not that I've sacrificed. He was arrested. At that time, you ask Wu Benzhu to lead you back to the Prefectural Committee immediately, and he will properly escort you back."
Han Xueyong didn't say much. In the darkness, he grabbed Li Jianbei's hand, held it tightly, shook it, and then whispered:
"You must come back alive..."
After Li Jianbei went out, he inquired about it. Because he could not reveal his identity, he could only inquire about the news. In addition, he was aimless, so he had no clue.
During that time, Li Jianbei ran to dozens of surrounding villages, and had never slept well for three days and three nights. During the day, he wandered around the entrance of the village to inquire about news, and at night, he laid a pile of grass at the deserted tomb outside the village, sleeping in the middle to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from suddenly searching the village and being blocked.
On the fourth day, Li Jianbei felt a little desperate. After a few days, he inquired around, but there was no clue.
"Su Jianzhong, Su Jianzhong, why did something happen to you at this time?" The depressed Li Jianbei couldn't help but complain in secret, but the next moment, a light suddenly flashed in his mind.
How many years later, Li Jianbei recalled that experience again and couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't care about too much at that time, so I just tried my best."
At noon that day, a stranger came to Qiantuying Village. The man went door to door to inquire about the news about the local Eighth Route Army and threatened to "search the Eighth Route Army."
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there were many Japanese spies like this who came out to inquire about intelligence. These people usually go from village to village and alley to inquire about the anti-Japanese masses, and then report the information to the Japanese and puppet soldiers.
The masses at that time were very vigilant about this. Generally, after receiving the news of the spy, our guerrillas and county committees would also quickly make arrangements to take the opportunity to eliminate the traitor.
This "spy" in Qiantuying Village was dressed by Li Jianbei.
At that time, Li Jianbei really couldn't contact the local county party committee. Then he thought of a way, pretending to be an enemy detective, deliberately showing off in Su Jianzhong's village, and let the local anti-Japanese forces arrest him secretly.
"At that time, the Anti-Japanese Government had regulations that the district had no right to arrest humans and the county had no right to kill people." I was trying to find the county party committee, but I couldn't find it. It would be better to let the comrades of the county party committee come to find me.
Once the county party committee knows that a traitor and enemy detective came to Qiantuying Village, they will definitely come to arrest him. In this way, not only will he not be killed, but he will be able to find the comrades of the Gucheng County Party Committee as soon as possible.
On the same day, Li Jianbei was in the village and walked around with great swagger, and left the village after dark.
Li Jianbei had just left the village. As he walked, a "cry" sound suddenly sounded in the cornfield beside the road.
"Here is here!" Li Jianbei immediately realized that the person he was looking forward to was finally here. However, as an enemy spy, Li Jianbei's situation was still very dangerous at this time.
After all, in the dark, the gun is blind.
said it was a sudden flash, and before Li Jianbei could react, several people suddenly jumped out of the cornfield. Everyone rushed up, tying their arms and gags to tie Li Jianbei up, then lifted them up and ran away.
That night, in a deserted house north of Qiantuying Village, Li Jianbei, tied up in a corner, squatting in a corner, and two guards next to him were looking at him vigilantly.
The militia and local cadres in the house sat opposite each other and prepared to interrogate the "big traitor", they reported to the organization and executed him.
However, when they took out the cloth strips blocked by Li Jianbei's mouth, Li Jianbei's first words immediately shocked everyone.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm my own."
"Owner?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. After the militia captain reacted, he immediately asked:
"How do you prove that you are our own person?"
Li Jianbei told everyone that he had a letter from the Gucheng County Prefectural Committee in his arms. After some inspection and negotiation, everyone finally had to believe that the man in front of him, who was dressed in a mess was actually his own person.
The next day, after contacting the militia captain, Li Jianbei finally met Zhang Wu, the county magistrate of Gucheng County, and then met other comrades from the county party committee through Zhang Wu.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Jianbei hurried back to Tanglin Village. At this time, Han Xueyong, who had been waiting for five days in the village, was discussing with Wu Benzhu about how to go back.
"Minister Han, I found it..." Li Jianbei said loudly after entering the yard. That night, the correspondent led Minister Han and finally sent him to the Gucheng County Party Committee headquarters.
In those years of war, there were countless grassroots heroes. They rose up in the dark, but eventually disappeared into the long river of history.
