193 1 September, Li listened to Grandpa Sun in Yifayuan garage in Ning 'an: "Japan has occupied Shenyang and is invading the north, and will invade the three northeastern provinces." When he heard the news, he was full of revenge. He thought to himself: How can the Japanese be allowed to run amok on the land of China! He thought again: How can you hit the Japanese invaders without a gun? Li Lian rushed back to Yingcheng Zitun at night and found his friend Cong Fushan to discuss with Yu Dehe. They decided to take the opportunity of "Wei Jian" to give their little wife a birthday, and find an opportunity to pay the gunman's gun and prepare to fight Japan. After dark, Li and some of them came to congratulate her. They all drank a lot of wine, and the gunmen were gambling, without any precautions. They soon took control of the whole compound as planned and seized five guns, large and small. When Li was interrogating the housekeeper "Wei Jian", he learned that a class of the county security team was on its way here. Li asked, "When will it arrive?" The housekeeper said, "We can arrive in the morning." Li hurriedly called Cong Fushan and Yu De to discuss the battle plan with them. At dawn, the county security team came to Wei's compound. Because they left at night, they were very tired. After entering the room, they leaned their guns against the wall and staggered to sleep. Li, they rushed into the house as soon as they saw the opportunity. Before the security team could react, they seized their 12 rifles at lightning speed. The news that Li and others seized 17 guns overnight soon spread all over the village. Li said to everyone, "Those who are willing to fight the Japanese and resist Japan and save the country come with me!" At his call, seven or eight people took part, and the peasant anti-Japanese armed forces composed of 12 people were pulled out and named "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force", with Li as the captain. Later, he borrowed a gun from a local rich man, attacked the Sharan Guard and seized a lot of guns and ammunition. The "Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force" has also expanded to 100.
1932 During March, Wang Delin led the Salvation Army from Dunhua to Ning 'an. When he heard that Li Cheng had established the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force, he sent Guo's aides to persuade Li to accept the adaptation. Li put forward three conditions: not disbanding the old army, supplementing guns and horses, and allowing independent resistance against the Japanese devils. If he does, he will accept the adaptation. After receiving the report, he agreed and appointed Li as the company commander of the 29th Brigade, 2nd Battalion and 6th Company. The company was ordered to drive to the south lake head of Jingbo Lake and be stationed in Songyigou.
1932 10, the Salvation Army and Northwest Mountain Brigade jointly attacked Ning 'an City. The Salvation Army decided to organize death squads, and advanced Ning 'an County had an inside man. Li volunteered to be the captain of the death squad. He led more than 30 death squads into the gate of Ning 'an County in the dark and disarmed all the guards in front of the gate. At first light, the police in the office found Li and others, and then the battle started, but there was no news of the main force. The death squads had to use houses and streets as cover to stop the enemy's attack. The enemy's gunfire blocked the road and the situation was very critical. Li Shuangqiang opened the way, and the death squads took the lead. They broke through the enemy's three blockade lines one after another before safely withdrawing from the county seat. This incident made Li and them very disappointed with the Salvation Army. Soon, the Salvation Army ordered them to retreat to Dongning. Seeing that the Salvation Army had no sincerity to resist Japan, Li decided to withdraw his troops and do it himself. He called an emergency meeting overnight and said, "We can't resist Japan by saving the country. We must do it ourselves and stay in Ning 'an to resist Japan. " As soon as he finished speaking, a man in the team stood up and said excitedly, "Tell the company commander that we want to stay and fight against Japan, but we have too few guns. Why not hand in the battalion to expand the team in the future? "This person is Zhong * * sent to transform Hong Ren's Ning 'an county party committee * * * producer. Li thought what he said was very reasonable, so he decided not to stop it. Before he left, he handed in the gun in the camp. Considering that there are two companies camping nearby, it is difficult for Li to lead troops after the gunfire. Yu Hongren offered a plan and said, "Company commander, report the emergency to the battalion commander under the pretext, take people to surrender their guns, and we will meet them outside." According to the plan, Li and his men successfully seized all the guns of the battalion without firing a shot.
After Li came out of the Salvation Army, he thought about changing the name of the army. Everyone wants to have an auspicious team name. At that time, there was a superstitious saying in the countryside that all the words with strange strokes were auspicious, and the Japanese invaders were Japanese devils, so they began to name themselves Pingyao. A number of flat characters and five paintings are rich, nine paintings of foreign characters are left 1, and the three characters of Oriental characters are left 65438. Li thinks that Japan can be called a South China Sea Devil in the south of Ning 'an, and Nanzi 9 draws 8 left 1 occupation, while Pingnan Dayang ***23 draws 6 left and 7 occupation, which is very good! So this team was named Pingnan Yang, and I suggested adding the word "Corps" so that when recruiting other teams, they were arranged according to their levels, hence the name Pingnan Yang Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps. Li is the captain and the rest is the vice captain. After the founding of the army, a number of nearby miscellaneous armies were incorporated, and the army quickly expanded to 25 classes in 3 brigades. At this point, the enemy in Ning 'an County has begun to move eastward. In order to hold off the enemy, the Corps decided to take an empty siege in Ning 'an County. Li deployed specific battles and led a brigade to attack Ning 'an City. The second brigade led by Hong Ren destroyed the nearby railway line and prepared to ambush the enemy reinforcements; As a mobile unit, the third brigade is ready to reinforce the other two brigades. Li is very familiar with Ning 'an City. Taking advantage of this advantage, the troops successfully entered Ning 'an City. Wang Zhushan, the captain of the county security team, saw that it was a Pingnan Yang army, and ordered his men to fire several shots into the air and run out of the city with the security team. Li led a large group of people to the former site of the Northeast 21st Brigade located in the north of Xidajie Road. Seven or eight Japanese aggressors were killed by soldiers before resisting. Our army seized a large number of weapons and ammunition in the enemy ammunition depot. And break through the prison and save the innocent people who are detained. Yu Hong led the Second Brigade to successfully stop the enemy reinforcements from Mudanjiang, seized many weapons and successfully completed the combat mission. After this battle, the military strength of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Pingnan was greatly shaken.
1in may, 933, Li joined forces with eight teams, including "Lin Hao" and "Shuang Sheng", to attack Tokyo city, burn down the Japanese army barracks and seize many materials. However, there has also been a phenomenon that a few people in the army grab things indiscriminately. The Japanese took this opportunity to spread rumors and put everything the bandits did on the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Pingyang. In order to save the political influence, Li and Yu Hongren discussed and decided to change the "Pingnan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps" into "Jidong Workers and Peasants Anti-Japanese Volunteers". At that time, April 18 of the lunar calendar was the most lively temple fair in Ning 'an County. Li and Yu Hongren decided to use this opportunity to distract the enemy and attack Ning 'an County. On the morning of April 18 of the lunar calendar, Hong Ren led soldiers into Tokyo disguised as ordinary people. At that time, a platoon of puppet troops was stationed in Nanda Temple, the security team was in the west of the city, and the Japanese army was stationed in Dongshaoguo. In Hong Ren, according to the existence of the enemy, we divided our troops into three roads. A road led 10 many female soldiers dressed as girls and daughters-in-law to the puppet troops in Nanda Temple. After arriving at Nanda Temple, Sun Yufeng pleaded with the puppet troops at the gate and said, "Boss, please be merciful. I will go in and burn incense to bless the family. " Sun Yufeng said as she secretly gave the money to the puppet troops who guarded the door. When the puppet troops saw the money, they immediately said happily, "Go in and burn incense, and come out quickly." After Sun Yufeng and others 10 entered the hospital, they disarmed the puppet troops with no effort. Yu Dehe led the Second Route Army to surround the security team and forced them to ask the Japanese for help. Hong Ren personally led the Third Route Army to stop the Japanese army in the East, forcing it to ask Ning 'an for help. The Japanese army in Dongshaoguo got the news that the puppet troops in Nanda Temple were disarmed, and the security team was surrounded and blocked. They were so anxious that they had to call the Japanese headquarters in Ning 'an and ask them to support them quickly. After receiving the emergency call, the Japanese army in Ning 'an immediately sent reinforcements to Dongdu. The Japanese army went out of the city, which was the plan of Li and others to draw the tiger out of the mountain. Then Li Lingbing attacked Ning 'an City, opened all the enemy warehouses and grain depots, took all the materials that could be taken away, and distributed all the things that could not be taken away to the people. When the Japanese arrived in Tokyo, they knew this move and immediately turned to Ning 'an. When the enemy arrived in Ning 'an, Li led the troops to evacuate safely with a large amount of materials. "Li San's attack on Ning 'an City" had a great impact on the anti-Japanese battlefield in Northeast China at that time, which dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army and greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. It is passed down as a much-told story and is worth learning from.
