When Su Yu, the founding general, led the Forward Division of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army to persist in guerrilla warfare in southern Zhejiang for three years, he opened up many guerrilla revolutionary base areas, among which Xuanping, Suichang and Tangxi were the best. After the founding of New China, Su Yu described the construction of guerrilla base areas in Xuanping, Suichang and Tangxi when recalling the three-year guerrilla war in southern Zhejiang:
The small guerrilla base areas we have established are an example.
As early as May to September in 1935, when we were guerrilla in the south of the middle section of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line, we entered the Xuansui-Tang area and circled around Menzhen and Yinkeng. The terrain in this area is very good, with the grid array as the center and sitting south to north. Backed by Daling, facing the Jin (Hua) Tang (Xi) Plain, overlooking the peaks, bamboo and wood are lush and important. It is not only located at the junction of three counties, but also includes three traffic lines: the highway from Xuanping to Jinhua in the east, the highway from Lishui to Longyou in the west, the railway and highway from Jinhua to Quzhou in the north, and a stream from south to north leading to Jinhua, which is the only way for bamboo and wood rafting. We fought local tyrants here, mobilized the masses, started our work, developed more than 20 people in party member in more than a dozen villages such as Zhidukeng, Longlong, Wu Zhou, Tanghuangjing, Xiaoyangkeng, Zikeng and Xikou, and established the Party branch and Sui Tang District Committee. During the "encirclement and suppression" campaign in Romania, the main force of our army moved to southern Zhejiang. Because the area is outside the enemy's encirclement and its work is hidden, it has not been seriously damaged. The people in the gate array also covered one of our wounded people for months. In the autumn and winter of 1936, we already had the idea of establishing small guerrilla base areas and sent people to resume work with a new spirit. At the end of 1936 and the beginning of 1937, two armies successively entered the area. Around the Spring Festival, the Party's Xuansui Tang Gong Committee was established in Zikeng to lead the construction of this small guerrilla base area in a unified way. Due to the implementation of the new policy, the economy has developed to a certain extent. The central gate array is called "little shanghai" by the masses, and its business is booming. Merchants on the plains brought a lot of goods such as cloth and medicinal materials in exchange for mountain specialties, making Jinhua actually our "military supply base". Many Bao Gong and Jia Gong in that area work here, and district heads and township heads often remain neutral. They clearly know something about us, but they weigh the pros and cons and don't report to the * * * authorities. Because they report the case, they will be accused by their superiors, blackmailed by the "suppression" army and punished by us. It's not flattering at both ends. From the enemy's point of view, the troops that once harassed in the mountains learned to be "good" after being beaten several times by us. The little ones are afraid of being wiped out by us, and the big ones can't get up, because the roads are difficult and the supplies are difficult, so they can't make good use of them. In this way, we have a small and stable rear. During Liu's "encirclement and suppression" campaign, this rear area played a tenacious fighting capacity and became one of the important bases for us to persist in the struggle south of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line and southwest Zhejiang.
The article mentioned: "The Party's Xuansuitang Working Committee was established in Zikeng to lead the construction of this small guerrilla base area in a unified way." . It can be seen that Zikeng is the leading center of Xuansui (Changping)-Tangxi guerrilla revolutionary base when Su Yu, the founding general, led the forward division of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army to persist in guerrilla warfare in southern Zhejiang for three years, and it can be described as the red capital of Xuansui-Tangxi border region.
Zikeng, located in the southern mountainous area of Wuyi County, is now Zikeng Natural Village in Taoxi Town. 65438+February 1 1, a 9-member delegation from Wuyi County Rong Media Center "Back to Hongjun Road for Unknown Heroes" drove to Zikeng Natural Village for an interview.
Zou Jianxin, secretary of the village party branch who greeted us, told us that according to his research, Zikeng was originally named Ziyuan. The ancestors of Zikeng villagers, Zou and Lai, came from Fujian in the middle of Qing Dynasty. After living in Zikeng, they became a family by planting indigo. The villagers of Factor Pit make a living by producing indigo dyes. After a long time, they dyed the creek pit in the village purple, hence the name Ziyuan and later Zikeng. Source, pit also. It was written as a pit after liberation.
* * * All kinds of materials displayed in the memorial hall of Xuansuitang Working Committee bring our thoughts back to the war-torn years.
1937 spring, fully publicized and mobilized the masses, and developed forty or fifty * * * party member in Suichang Gate Array, Xuanping Dongkeng and Shizhuyuan. That summer, Su Yu and Xie decided to set up the Xuansui Hall Working Committee in Zikeng Village of Xuanping to lead the construction of this small guerrilla base area in a unified way. Su Yu sent Lai Debiao, a security guard, as the secretary of the Working Committee, Zhu Jinbao and Luo as members of the Working Committee, and they were subordinate to the 12 Party branch. The main task of the working committee is to consolidate and develop the Party organizations and mass organizations in this area, and make it a future base area and an anti-Japanese base area. When the Working Committee was established, it was handed over to the Special Committee of Southwest Zhejiang under the leadership of Fujian and Zhejiang Provisional Provincial Committee.
* * * The Xuansuitang Working Committee has 12 party branches. Among them, there are six Xuanping County (now Wuyi County): * * * Daxikou Branch, secretary Zou Shuiqi; * * * Zhang Wuli branch secretary, Qian Yuchuan; * * * Shuidukeng Branch, secretary Xie; * * * Secretary of Jinshan Branch Yang; * * * Fangkeng Branch, Secretary Lin is on fire; * * * Secretary of the branch of Laizikeng. 2 in Suichang County: Zhang Jinxiang, secretary of the branch of * * Gate Array; * * * Ye Guanmao, secretary of Zhang Cun Branch. There are four Tangxi counties (now Wucheng District): * * * Zhidukeng branch, secretary Zhong; * * * Yinkeng Branch, Secretary Chen Yongfeng; * * * Zhou Wharf Branch, Secretary Dai Zulu; * * * Baifengtou Branch, Liu Shuji.
After the establishment of the Working Committee of Xuansuitang, Lai Debiao, secretary of the Working Committee, organized activities in Zikeng, Jinjishanbei, Daxikou, Nongkeng, Tian Ping, Heshangtian, Shangshuidui Pit and Zhangwuli in Xuanping under the cover of being a tailor. In Xuanping, 83 people from party member were developed, 6 party branches and 5 condolence groups were established. The construction of the base area has been continuously strengthened, and it has become a relatively stable rear area for the advance division. In the later period of Liu's encirclement and suppression, the base area played a fighting role and became one of the important bases for the advance division to persist in the struggle in the south of Zhejiang-Jiangxi line and southwest Zhejiang.
After Su Yu led his troops to the north to resist Japan, the working committee of Xuansuitang persisted in the struggle 10 years, and many people gave their lives in the revolutionary struggle. Among them, Lai, the first party branch secretary of Zikeng Village, and his family of six sacrificed five people, and Lai, the second party branch secretary, sacrificed five people.
1941February 10 (Lantern Festival in the first month of the lunar calendar) In the evening, the detachment leader and deputy detachment leader of the self-defense forces in Xuanping County went to Zikeng Village to arrest Lai disguised as an ordinary person. At that time, Lai Debiao, Wu Zengde and others were having a meeting in Lai's room, and Lai was in the main hall to worship his ancestors as a cover. Suddenly, I saw three men rushing in to tie him up. Jin Quan deliberately shouted, "What are you doing? Let me finish the incense first! " When Lai Debiao and Wu Zengde heard the news, they immediately pulled out their guns and fired three shots in succession. They killed the lieutenant who was about to rush into the room on the spot and injured two others. Chen Jinchang escaped injured, and the soldiers pretended to be dead to save their lives. Lai and others grabbed the mauser pistol and broke through the Zhushan behind the house.
On the same day, Lai Jin Quan's family escaped from the back hill. One-year-old daughter fell into the pond and died on the way, and seven-year-old daughter died soon. Lai took his wife and daughter to a relative's house in Dongnongyuan Village to hide, and sent his eldest daughter to Xiaotong and Babai Village as a child bride. Lai Xianglin, a nine-year-old son, escaped and ran to Duikeng Village in Sheung Shui, where he was protected by villagers and escaped the search by the Self-Defense Forces. Later, Lai Debiao moved the Lai family to Suichang and Longquan. Lai's wife, Liu Fenglian, first moved to the tent in Qingshuiyuan Mountain in Suichang, and then moved to Longquan as the liaison officer of the Southwest Zhejiang Special Committee. In the same year, Yu 1 18 was captured and sacrificed in Dongying Mountain, Longquan. His son was arrested at the same time and died in prison.
On February 12, a large number of self-defense forces went to Zikeng village to carry out retaliatory "encirclement and suppression". First, Lai's house was sealed up, and then it was destroyed by fire; Caught Lai (Lai Quan Jinmei) in Zikeng Village. They searched the mountains everywhere, and successively arrested Yue, Yue Pinyou, Qiu Mitai, Qian Yuchuan, Zou Shuibao, Liu Shunyuan, Lai, Liu Jinde and others in party member. Party branches such as Zikeng Village were seriously damaged. The people caught in the "Zikeng Incident", whether party member or ordinary people, were indomitable in the face of torture by the authorities. No one gave up the party's secrets until they got on the tiger stool and burned their backs with a red-hot shovel. Liu Changfu, director of the village committee, told us that his grandfather Liu Jinde broke a leg while riding a tiger stool, leaving six scars on his back burned by a spade.
Lai, secretary of the Second Party Branch of Zikeng Village, once participated in the Red Army of Xuanping Xiying. He was arrested several times after serving as secretary of the village party branch. 1On August 8, 946, he was arrested again, tortured and persevered in prison until his hands and feet were nailed to iron, and he did not reveal party secrets. On September 6th of the same year, Lai was shot dead in the north gate of Liucheng, Xuanping County.
