Hong Linge (1902 ~ 1938), formerly known as Hong Zhanxun, nicknamed Hongqiao, was a Manchu nationality, a native of Dibeitou Village, Zunhua City, Hebei Province, and a member of the Kuomintang. His father, Hong Fuqi, whose courtesy name was Delu, once served as a judicial official in the Qing court. He was demoted to prison chief for offending an imperial relative and was later sent back to his hometown. From then on, this originally famous family began to decline. There are four Hong Linge brothers, and he ranks fourth. In 1917, he was admitted to Chezhuoshan Middle School in Fengrun County. He studied diligently and achieved excellent results. I read a lot of books after school and care about national affairs. "Relieving national disasters and alleviating people's worries" is Hong Linge's ambition since he was a student. Whenever he returns to his hometown during holidays, he always mingles with the villagers and treats them like family. When encountering gangsters who bully others, he always acts with justice. Help and be praised by the poor.
In 1921, Hong Linge studied at the Zhili Legal and Political College. At school, he and Lian Fenting (Lian Yinong) were in the ninth class of business major. The two had similar political views and often discussed national affairs. I went to Beijing at the end of 1921 and listened to a special lecture by the revolutionary pioneer Li Dazhao at a lecture hosted by the Marxist Theory Research Society. I initially understood the root causes of the poverty and backwardness of old China and its being exploited and invaded. He specifically quoted the ancient saying "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" said by Li Dazhao in his speech, wrote it as a banner, and hung it in his bedroom to encourage himself not to forget the national crisis.
At that time, warlords were fighting, the political situation was very turbulent, and schools were often closed. Hong Linge took the opportunity to go to the society and conduct in-depth investigations. There is a carpet factory near the school. The labor intensity of the workers is high, the equipment is poor, and the workers live in poverty, so many people suffer from eye diseases. Hong Linge and Lian Yinong received the assistance of Li Zongyao, a famous ophthalmologist in Tianjin, and set up a temporary medical clinic to provide workers with free treatment for this occupational disease. In order to arouse the people, Hong Linge felt the need to eliminate illiteracy, so he and Lian Yinong set up the "Thousand-Character Class" to teach workers to read and learn culture. He also united many progressive young people around him, and on this basis established the "Tianjin Youth Encouragement Association" to carry out revolutionary propaganda activities.
In 1924, Hong Linge graduated from the Zhili Legal and Political College. After that, after active planning, he helped the "Youth Encouragement Association" to establish a civilian school aimed at popularizing cultural knowledge. He presided over the school affairs and personally taught English classes. In 1926, the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army began. Feng Yuxiang returned from the Soviet Union and assumed the post of commander-in-chief of the National Army. He publicly declared his support for the Kuomintang and led his troops into Shaanxi and then Henan. In 1927, he was appointed Chairman of Henan Province by the Wuhan government. At this time, Hong Linge left Tianjin and went to a county in Henan Province to supplement his duties, serving as an assistant judge in charge of justice, and sometimes acting as county magistrate.
Some of Feng’s soldiers stationed in the county were drunk, causing trouble and disturbing public order. People filed public prosecutions with the county. Hong Linge personally tried the case. After ascertaining the evidence, he immediately imprisoned the gangster and sent a letter to General Feng explaining the whole story. Feng Yuxiang read the letter and was very satisfied with Honglinge's handling of the matter in accordance with the law. Soon, Hong Linge obtained military status and wore an armband of the National Army, which read: "True love for the people and will not disturb the people." From then on, Honglinge changed his name to "Chongxiao" and vowed to fight for the revolutionary cause to the end.
In 1930, Feng Yuxiang failed in the Central Plains War and was forced to give up military power. At this time, Hong Linge served as the Military Justice Department of the Second Army Headquarters.
In the seven years since Hong Linge joined the army, he participated in the Northern Expedition against Zhang Zuolin, the Feng clique warlord. In May 1933, the Japanese army successively invaded all entrances to the Great Wall and counties in eastern Hebei. The situation in North China was critical. After the party's long-term work, Feng Yuxiang, Ji Hongchang and others established the Chahar People's Anti-Japanese Alliance Army in Zhangjiakou to fight against Japan. Hong Lin Ge followed the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces to attack the Japanese and puppet troops who invaded Chabei, and recovered Zhangbei, Guyuan, Kangbao and other counties that had been captured by the enemy. Later, Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to encircle and suppress the Zhangjiakou area, forcing Feng Yuxiang to step down.
Faced with the political situation at that time, Hong Linge regretted the failure of the Chahar War of Resistance and was worried about Feng's situation. After repeated consideration, he reluctantly submitted his resignation. Feng Yuxiang listened to Hong Linge's request, and although it was difficult to give up, he finally agreed. Feng Yuxiang said to Honglinge: "Although I am unable to lead an army to conquer the country now, my ambition to resist Japan and save the country cannot be frustrated. You can go back to your hometown. How much money do you need? How much money will I give you? If you and I have a fight, I will I want to give you a big gift!" Hong Linge replied: "The country is in ruins, and the brothers in the army have made great sacrifices. The warlords are fighting in a melee, and I have only one man to support the army. I will go back and change positions and continue to fight against Japan. I have old friends in Tianjin and Tangshan, and I have my folks in Zunhua.
I will never let down your affection, and I will definitely take your patriotism and dedication with you!" On the day of departure, Feng Yuxiang came to see him off in military uniform and sword, cherishing each other and saying goodbye with tears.
In the autumn of 1933, Hong Linge arrived in Tangshan. Recommended by his old friend Gu Xingzhou, he worked as the general manager of the Industrial and Commercial Daily, Ma Xishan (Ma Boyuan). He insisted on justice and was dissatisfied with reality. After meeting with Hong Linge, the two became friends. The discussion was very congenial. Ma Xishan and the president Wang Enpu discussed and decided to give Hong Linge the important task of editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and Hong Xinran agreed. After Hong Linge took charge of the editorial affairs of the Industrial and Commercial Daily, he clearly criticized the current affairs and created anti-Japanese public opinion. It was once seized by the Kuomintang authorities, and Hong Linge, Maxi Shan and president Wang Enpu were also summoned to the court in Peiping. Hong Linge protested generously: "Now that the country is in a critical situation, anyone who invites wolves into the house is a traitor and is resisting the war." Those who keep pictures are patriotic. Our newspaper propagated anti-Japanese and national salvation, where is the crime?" Hong Linge was righteous. The judge had no choice but to release them.
During the temporary suspension of the newspaper, Hong Linge, Ma Xishan and others actively assisted Tangshan rickshaw pullers opposed the increase in rickshaw donations and openly supported the strikes of Kailuan Coal Mine, Qixin Cement Company, and Huaxin Spinning Mill workers to increase wages and demand resistance to Japan.
In the summer of 1935, Hong Linge responded. Recruited by his friend Yang Shisan, he joined Ma Qiting and Lian Yinong to teach at Tianjin Hebei Institute of Technology. The institute was upgraded from a Zhili public technical school to a university in 1928. Hong Linge first served as a clerk in the general affairs department at the Institute of Technology. He was responsible for some administrative affairs and was later promoted to professor. At that time, most of the people who went to college were the children of dignitaries. Even if ordinary people were admitted, they often dropped out of school due to financial difficulties. Seeing this, Hong Linge was deeply saddened. The third plan is to open a simple canteen for civilian students, with public management, and organize students to take turns to work in the kitchen after school to participate in service work, and do everything possible to save money. The food cost is half that of ordinary schools. Rich students ridiculed it as "poor food." The name "Regiment" actually became the glory of Hebei Institute of Technology. When the national crisis hit, Hong Linge placed his hopes on young people. He often provided patriotic education to students in class, guided students to read progressive books and periodicals, and enthusiastically encouraged young people to join the fight against Japan and save the nation. In the struggle, Hong Linge used his own words and deeds to ignite the fire of the hearts of young people, and opposed the idleness of the years. Hong Linge changed the atmosphere of the Engineering College through various efforts. , connected with the underground party organization of the Communist Party, and obtained from there the "Message to All Compatriots to Resist Japan and Save the Nation" (i.e., the August 1st Declaration) and the "Betrayal of North China for Japanese Imperialism and Chiang Kai-shek" issued after the Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi. China Declaration" to further see the way forward.
On November 1, 1935, the Tianjin Student Self-Government Association, including Hebei Institute of Technology, jointly issued the "Declaration of Fighting for Freedom to Resist Japan and Save the Nation", Hong Linge. Participated in the review of the declaration. The article ruthlessly exposed the corruption and incompetence of the reactionary rulers of the Kuomintang, accused them of brutal executions and killing young people, shouted: "Hell has appeared, there will be no world on earth," and asked the Kuomintang government to "respect the spirit of the law, open speech, assembly, Freedom of association and illegal arrest of students are prohibited. "After the declaration was issued, the climax of the national salvation movement soon set off.
On December 9, 1935, under the leadership of the Communist Party, Peking students broke through the ban of the reactionary Kuomintang government and held a large-scale demonstration Tianjin immediately responded to the patriotic demonstration movement.
On December 18, Tianjin students formed two parade teams and held a mighty patriotic demonstration, shouting along the way: "Down with Japanese imperialism! "Oppose North China Autonomy!" "The whole country is united to resist Japan!" "Waiting for slogans, Hong Linge walked in the middle of the parade with his head held high. He was blocked by military police during the parade. After many charges and fights, he broke through the obstruction and marched according to the planned route. He went to the playground of Nankai Middle School and held a city-wide student meeting to announce the establishment of " Tianjin Student Union" and issued a call and declaration. After the meeting, all schools in the city went on strike. Students walked out of school one after another, went deep into all walks of life to arouse the public, and opened a new chapter in Tianjin's anti-Japanese and national salvation. Hong Linge always talked with the students Fight together.
In 1937, the July 7th Incident broke out and the Japanese invaders occupied Pingjin. The invaders' planes dropped bombs in a targeted manner. Hebei Institute of Technology was reduced to a sea of ??flames and all buildings were reduced to rubble. , it will be difficult to continue the schoolwork.
Lu Xiusan, acting dean of the School of Engineering, summoned Hong Linge, Wang Ruoxi (KMT member, director of Tianjin Telecommunications Bureau), Yang Shisan, Lian Yinong (KMT member), Zhao Guanmin (alumni, manager of Tianjin Yongli Alkali Plant Distribution Office), Ma Li (Dean of the Mechanical and Electrical Department of the college) and Zhang Xiuyan (who used to work in the college and was the manager of Xindong Dyeing Factory at the time) went to the Jitai Building on Binjiang Road in the French Concession for a secret gathering to discuss countermeasures. Those present share the same hatred and believe that China has reached its most critical moment and should unite as one and take up arms to fight against the Japanese aggressors. After contact, they organized under the name of Tianjin People's Self-Defense Committee (an underground organization) and publicly named it "Gong Zi Tuan". At this time, the Party Central Committee sent Li Chuli and Hu Xikui to Tianjin to carry out underground work and lead the anti-Japanese national united front. As a non-party person and social celebrity, Hong Linge was absorbed as a main leading member of the "North China People's Anti-Japanese Armed Self-Defense Committee", an anti-Japanese organization belonging to the united front. Under the leadership of the party, he did a lot of arduous organizational and mobilization work in Tianjin. , began to prepare for the establishment of an anti-Japanese coalition, vowing to fight against the Japanese invaders.
In February 1938, Hong Linge returned to Dibeitou Village, Zunhua County with instructions issued by the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in the name of the North China People's Self-Defense Committee to organize the anti-Japanese uprising in eastern Hebei. He organized people's anti-Japanese armed forces in his hometown.
In May, Honglinge took Dibeitou Village as its base camp and organized an anti-Japanese coalition team in Fengrun, Yutian, and Zunhua areas. All militia groups in villages within a radius of 180 miles were willing to resist the Japanese. Incorporate those who do not follow the anti-Japanese resistance and hand over their guns. The first difficulty encountered in carrying out the armed struggle was insufficient funds. Hong Linge sold half of his real estate and a quarter of his land, and even donated the gold, jade jewelry and silver coins of his wife Xiao Yucun to raise funds. He also made a special trip to his father-in-law's house in Yutian County to raise funds. His father-in-law, Xiao Guangfu, was a famous doctor. When he learned that his son-in-law was in urgent need, he tried to raise a large amount of funds and sent his only son, Xiao Xingya, to join the Allied Forces in Honglin Pavilion to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. At the same time, we also mobilized wealthy families with contacts in the local area. Those who can provide money will provide money, those who can provide people will provide people, and those who can provide guns will provide guns. Under his influence, most gentry and merchants actively responded to Hong Linge's call and donated money and materials for the anti-Japanese war.
Hong Linge’s fund-raising actions deeply impressed the patriots in Tianjin and Tangshan. Tianjin ophthalmologist Li Zongyao once donated a huge sum of money to support Hong Linge’s anti-Japanese war. The friendship between the education, political and legal circles and the press No expense was spared in aid. After careful planning by Yang Shisan, these funds were used to buy military supplies from Tianjin, and were successfully transported to Tangshan, hidden in the Industrial and Commercial Daily, and then transferred to Dibeitou Village.
At the beginning of 1938, Li Chuli, Yang Shisan, and Hong Linge used Yang Shouqing's home in Shilituo, Yutian as the contact point to start preparations for the anti-Japanese uprising. At the end of April, Yang Shisan, Ma Qiting, Maxi Shan, Lian Yinong and others came to Dibeitou Village. They analyzed that Zunhua is surrounded by the Great Wall to the north, plains to the south, and surrounded by mountains. It can be attacked or defended. It was the center of the Jidong Anti-Japanese Base Area, and Dibeitou Village was located at the south exit, so it was decided to use Dibeitou Village as the base camp, and Honglinge's home became the center of the base camp.
In order to prepare for the riots, Honglinge often invited progressive people from each village to carry out anti-Japanese national united front work in the name of entertaining guests. At the same time, the young people in the village were organized and took the "Thousand-Character Class" in the Hongzhai gatehouse to mobilize them to participate in the anti-Japanese war through literacy and cultural studies. Honglin Pavilion also hired four or five veteran storytelling artists from outside. Every night in the center of the village, they opened the stage to talk about storytelling such as "Water Margin", "Generals of the Yang Family", "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan", etc., and added current events before and after the storytelling. The villagers were fascinated by the propaganda section, and their patriotism and national salvation sentiment became even higher.
Before the official uprising, Dibeitou Village quickly organized a team of fifty or sixty people. These young people later became the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces. By the end of May, the activities were gradually made public. At this time, a traitor surnamed Liu reported to the enemy and lured fake officers and soldiers from Shaliuhe Police Station to Dibeitou to search Honglinge's home, smashed furniture, tore clothes, and even set fire to the house. In order to cope with the change of situation, the location of the coalition forces' activities was moved from the Hong family to the Erlang Temple in the ravine north of the village. At this time, Li Chuli and Xiang Xiaozhao also came to Dibeitou. Li Chuli and Yang Shisan were responsible for giving political lessons to the riot team. Sha Linge taught military affairs so that the comrades could understand the anti-Japanese mission and conduct combat training. Practice practical skills and cultivate military backbones.
On the eve of the anti-Japanese uprising at the end of June 1938, the Hebei Hot Border Special Committee held a military meeting in Beitianjiawanzi Village, Fengrun County, attended by the leaders of the three rebel armies of Zunhua, Qian'an, and Luanxian.
At the meeting, it was announced that the Jidong Anti-Japanese Allied Forces were formally established, with Gao Zhiyuan as commander, and Li Yunchang and Hong Linge as deputy commanders. Li Yunchang is the commander-in-chief of the second route, Hong Linge is the commander-in-chief of the third route, and Yang Shisan, director of the political department. Li Chuli participated as a member of the North China People's Self-Defense Committee and led the Hong Department. The meeting decided to hold uprisings simultaneously in six counties including Zunhua, Fengrun, Qian'an and Luanxian on July 16.
Hong Linge set the location of the uprising in Beitou Village, Zunhua County. The unit was named the Guerrilla Force of the Fourth Military Division of the Third Military Region of the Jidong People's Anti-Japanese Allied Army. Its scope of activities was in Feng, Yu, and Zunhua. Three counties. The headquarters is divided into eight major divisions, including Yang Shisan, director of the Political Division; Ma Xishan, director of the Military Justice Division; and Lian Yinong, director of the Military Supplies Division (since the company often travels out for liaison, Zhang Xiuyan acts as the agent). All leadership positions are appointed by the North China People's Self-Defense Committee.
The day of the anti-Japanese uprising in eastern Hebei is approaching. On the one hand, Hong Linge, Yang Shisan, and Li Chuli made preparations for the uprising, and on the other hand, they carefully studied the war situation and social trends. Unexpectedly, the uprising plan was tipped off by a traitor. Guo Zhenjun, the puppet police inspector in Shaliuhe, Yutian County, obtained the information and informed the puppet magistrate of Fengrun County. At dawn on July 5, he pulled out the garrison to raid Beitou Village. Hong Linge led the crowd to resist and repelled the enemy. Puppet policeman Guo Zhenjun was killed on the spot. Due to this unexpected situation, it was decided to advance the uprising to July 9.
After Hong Linge and Yang Shisan led their troops to declare an uprising in Beitou Village, they were attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops. Hong Linge and his troops traveled all night to Xiaolang Mountain. At this time, the Japanese adviser of the pseudo-county government of Fengrun County personally took action and mobilized more than 1,000 pseudo-security militiamen from Yutian and Fengrun, as well as more than 200 Japanese troops. They pulled out nets from the flanks and rushed towards Xiaolang Mountain. At that time, the coalition forces were scattered across the villages, and without enough time to notify, Hong Linge led more than 1,100 soldiers to guard the mountain pass. After that, Hong Linge saw that the enemy was outnumbered, so he immediately organized a breakout and went straight to Yutian County, gathering more than 300 anti-Japanese coalition forces to support him. On the evening of the next day, he returned to Xiaolang Mountain. At this time, there was no sound of gunfire in Xiaolang Mountain, and no sign of the coalition forces. After asking the local fellows, I learned that Li Chuli and Yang Shisan had led a team to Lujiayu. The Japanese and puppet troops and militia discovered that all our troops had broken through, and Hong Linge moved troops from Yutian. Seeing that the situation was not good, they abandoned Xiaolang Mountain and followed them. At this time, Li Chuli, Yang Shisan, Bao Sen and others were led by the temple watchers, moved out from the shadow of the mountain, gathered their troops, and arrived in Fengrun. Hong Linge heard on the way that Li Chuli and Yang Shisan had led their troops to get rid of the enemy, so he went around from the enemy's back to Fengrun, restrained the local militia's interception, and finally made the two teams successfully join together.
In Fengrun, Hong Linge and Yang Shisan summoned comrades who had scheduled an uprising. People everywhere responded to the call and rose up one after another. The puppet police and militia groups were frightened by the power of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and dispersed one after another. The remaining 100 or so disabled Japanese soldiers, a Japanese consultant, and a guard captain fled back to the county in embarrassment. At this time, many militia groups armed themselves and defected to Hong and Yang under the general trend. The anti-Japanese coalition forces grew stronger day by day, destroying traffic, smashing cars, and cutting down telephone poles everywhere, causing the enemy and puppets to be in panic all day long. The pseudo-bureaucrats in the county and town closed the city gates tightly, cowering away and not daring to move out, exclaiming that the "Hongyang Rebellion" was like this.
At this time, Hongbu had developed more than 1,000 people, forming three corps: Zhao Genwei, captain of the first corps; Yang Shouqing, captain of the second corps; Chang Yuying, captain of the third corps (also in charge of the logistics guard). After the team rested for more than 10 days, Honglin Pavilion pulled out part of the team and set off from Dibeitou to attack the Shaliuhe stronghold. As soon as the coalition forces arrived, they took advantage of the terrain and fought back and forth, causing the enemy to become confused. The guard guarding the west gate opened the gate and ran south. Hong Linge took advantage of the situation and entered the street. After two hours of fierce fighting, more than 600 guns were seized. Captured more than 700 enemy soldiers and captured Shaliuhe Town. During the battle, Hong Buyu, the only son of Hong Linge's brother, died gloriously near the old brick kiln.
When the coalition forces left the town, villagers from nearby villages came to express condolences for Hong Buyu and express condolences to Commander Hong. Hong Linge stood in front of the assembled queue and spoke. He said: "The Japanese invaders invaded China and wanted to turn China into their colony and make our fathers, brothers and sisters their slaves. All compatriots with blood and backbone, Who can tolerate this? Hong Buyu is my brother's only son. He was unwilling to be a slave to the subjugation of the country and joined us in abandoning his family to fight against the Japanese. Now, he has sacrificed his life for the country and everyone mourns him. He is just an ordinary farmer in the coalition army. For an ordinary soldier to be praised and remembered by the people, this is not only his personal glory, but also the glory of all our anti-Japanese fighters. The people have elected me, the Hong family, to take the lead in resisting Japan. We, the Hong family, should first set an example with heroic sacrifice.
Revolution requires bloodshed, and the bloodshed starts with our Hong family. If everyone is not afraid of sacrifice, our team will be as strong as steel, and it can be called the anti-Japanese army led by the Communist Party. ”
Under the leadership of Hong Linge, the coalition forces became more and more courageous as they fought. After they captured the Shaliu River, they marched north to Lujiayu, Zunhua County. There was a militia leader named Liu Yuli in the east valley of Lujiayu. , was the brother-in-law of Hong Linge's third brother Hong Zhanbang. He had 180 people under his command and often oppressed the people around him. Hong Linge severely reprimanded him and incorporated the militia, and then headed south to Yutian County, successively. In the area of ??Beixiaojia and Wangzhuangzi, they defeated the Japanese and puppet troops who came out from Yutian County for "mopping up". They immediately captured the two important towns of Yahongqiao and Woluogu, and together with the Shaliu River, they completely eliminated the Japanese troops' insertion in the hinterland of eastern Hebei. Three nails.
On July 12, Hong Linge led his troops to attack Yutian County. Thanks to the assistance of the Jixian Fifth Column, Shiqi was very strong. Although the enemy's weapons were strong, the number of soldiers was only a few hundred. , the Japanese troops were transferred out two days ago, and we took advantage of the situation. The defenders were caught off guard and collapsed without a fight. Japanese consultant Ishimoto was found in a kang felt tube under the incense table in an ancient temple and posted a notice to open the prison. The detained "political prisoners" and innocent civilians were released, and the evil-doing captain Fu Deyun was executed.
On July 8, an anti-Japanese uprising was held in the Beitou area of ??Zunhua County, which developed to the fourth quarter. Five thousand people, mainly active in the border areas of Zunhua, Yutian and Fengrun counties, encountered the enemy in Taitou Village, Mashenqiao, Ji County on October 15, 1938. Hong Linge was killed in the battle and was buried. At the Jidong Martyrs Cemetery.
The capture of Yutian County greatly enhanced the villagers' belief in victory against Japan, and the number of people in the Honglin Pavilion Army expanded to more than 5,000. In the division of labor and deployment of the 13th Army Divisional Headquarters, Gao Zhiyuan specifically leads the third, fourth, fifth and sixth columns; Li Yunchang leads the seventh, eighth, ninth and fourteenth columns; Hong Linge leads the first, second, eleventh and twelfth columns. Four columns. After conquering Yutian, each column under Honglinge went to Yahongqiao, Gaoqiao, and Lujiayu for training. Honglinge was stationed in Yutian. In early August, his superiors ordered Honglinge to attack Zunhua County. Chu Li attacked Fengrun County.
Luo Lingyun, the captain of the pseudo-security brigade in Zunhua City, was an old friend of Honglinge and often passed information through his younger brother Luo Qiyun (who was the captain of the second squadron of the first corps of Hongbu). Therefore, Honglinge Understand the situation of the enemy's city defense, facilities, ordnance assembly, etc. When Hong Linge ordered the march north and the troops rushed to Zhushan and Bijiashan, the puppet county government discovered the coalition actions and imprisoned Luo Lingyun, and secretly sent puppet Manchukuo troops and Japanese troops. They lurked on the northern slopes of Zhushan Mountain and Bijia Mountain at night, and around 7 o'clock in the morning, they circled the top of the mountain and attacked the coalition forces. Due to the large number of enemy troops and their condescending position, they were at a disadvantage for a long time. Under the command of Zhao Zhenwei, they fought and retreated, preparing to retreat to the foot of the mountain. After gaining the advantage, Zhao Zhenwei took the lead in attacking and retreated, but he was unfortunately injured by a missile and died heroically.
Shortly after Zhao Zhenwei died, Honglin Pavilion sent 50 soldiers. The educated and strong soldiers went to the Song and Deng detachment of the Iron Factory to participate in a month-long military training. They were hard-working and raised the flag of justice higher to welcome new battles.
After several major battles, Hong Bu. After stationing at Yahong Bridge in Yutian County, Li Chuli made a special trip to the station to find Hong Linge and Yang Shisan to discuss the next step, and conveyed the suggestion of the leader of the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army: "Let the regularized troops return to the original place to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in operations." Hong Linge then led the entire army from Yahong Bridge to Zunhua Iron Factory. They stationed in villages during the day and marched at night. They encountered small groups of enemy troops along the way. Those who could be eliminated were eliminated with all their strength, and a batch of guns, horses and supplies were seized. Finally, they fought with Song Dynasty. Deng's detachment meets. At this time, other riot teams from other places also gathered at the iron factory.
On August 27, chaired by Deng Hua, the Fourth Column Party Committee, the Hebei Reborder Special Committee and the commanders of various anti-resistance alliances held a meeting at the iron factory. Hongbu sent representatives to attend. The meeting summarized the achievements of the riots, put forward the tasks of building the army, establishing the government and building the base area, and decided to establish the Hebei-Chareliao Military Region to unified command the anti-Japanese army, but the spirit of the iron factory meeting was not fully implemented. Japan increased its troops in large numbers to deal with the uprising of the people in eastern Hebei. For this reason, the Fourth Column Party Committee decided to withdraw from Feng, Yu, and Zun counties and send the troops to Pingxi for training. Leading members of the headquarters such as Gao Zhiyuan and Li Yunchang all raised objections to this decision. Hong Linge also believed that the withdrawal of the main force to the west would objectively only dampen the sentiment of the anti-Japanese military and civilians.
In late September, before the telegrams from the Central Committee and the Northern Bureau were issued, the main leaders of the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, the Hebei Rebian Special Committee, the Fourth Column and the Anti-Japanese Forces held a meeting in Jiujianfang Village, Fengrun County. The leaders of the Four Columns were worried about the current situation. The existing army was not enough to cope with the future situation. In order to "preserve strength", the Fourth Column and the Anti-Japanese Alliance troops were still announced to withdraw westward, leaving only three small detachments to hold on to the east of Hebei.
During the retreat to the west, Hongbu was at the end, and the team spread out and advanced along the mountain. Arriving in the area of ??Fanjiawu and Yanshankou, the Japanese army noticed our movements and deployed troops to intercept them. Hong Linge commanded calmly. Within a day and night, the soldiers, with no guns lowered to their shoulders and no food in their stomachs, braved heavy rain and bravely fought back the enemy troops. In order to prevent enemy reinforcements, Hong Linge led his team to move quickly, passing through the small and large merchant villages, the first 100 households, and the 900 households, and then headed west of Ma Shenqiao to Chuanfangyu. The fellows there said: Commander Li Yunchang's team just passed here. Honglin Pavilion did not dare to stay long, so he hurried on and stationed at Taitou Village, eight miles away from Mashen Bridge that night.
Wherever Hongbu passed, military discipline was strict and Qiu did not commit any crimes. After entering Taitou Village, the villagers admired the reputation of Honglin Pavilion and warmly expressed their condolences. The next day, October 15, 1938, at dawn, according to intelligence, 11 Japanese military vehicles were heading to Malanyu from west to east, passing through Ma Shen Bridge, and were escorted by more than 100 Japanese troops. Under the command of Hong Linge, the coalition forces set up an ambush at the small temple and roadside in Nanshan, Taitou Village. Not long after, enemy vehicles drove over one after another. After entering the ambush circle, the coalition forces launched a fierce attack, which stunned the Japanese troops escorting the vehicles. More than 10 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the rest jumped out of their cars and ran away.
60 boxes of ordnance, rice, flour, cans, etc. were seized in this ambush. In order to prevent the enemy from retaliating, Honglinge gathered his troops and planned to evacuate the place immediately. However, Wang Yi's third team did not arrive at that time, which wasted time. Hong Linge ordered the large army to go westward, led by Yang Shisan and Maxi Shan. He, Lian Yinong and a few others stayed behind to wait and take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield. At this time, the Japanese cavalry stationed in Malanyu counterattacked, and soon they arrived at Dongxinzhuang. Hong Linge sent someone to notify the westbound Second Corps to respond. At the same time, the teams he led were ordered to take up positions and go into battle. Hong Linke analyzed that the enemy was approaching fiercely and was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. He should avoid his edge and try to hold the enemy back to prevent the large troops from suffering losses. Unexpectedly, the machine gun blast sounded and the target was exposed. Hong Linge made a prompt decision and led his troops into battle. At this time, the Japanese cavalry circled along the highway from north to south. Hong's three machine guns set up ambushes on two hills and fired in turn. Suddenly, machine gun shooter Wang Huiying's machine gun jammed a bullet, and Japanese guns and artillery bombarded the coalition positions one after another. Unable to move forward and retreat, Hong Linge immediately ordered a retreat and detoured from the north to the outside. In the end, due to the outnumbered enemy, Hong Linge suffered heavy casualties. Hong Linge was seriously injured in the head and legs. The guards, correspondents, and trumpeters supported Honglin Pavilion and never left.
Seventeen-year-old correspondent Jin Chengxuan (from Huantuo, Yutian County) said in a pleading tone: "Commander, you are in trouble, I will carry you." Hong Linge said sternly: "Hurry up. Evacuate and leave me alone." As he said this, he tore a piece of bark from a poplar tree and wrote a will in blood: "Give me my land and rivers." When he turned around, he found that the enemy was charging upwards, so he threw a grenade and killed about 10 Japanese soldiers.

The successful development of the struggle situation finally realized Hong Linge's unremitting pursuit of death.
Later, Yang Shisan, Lian Yinong and others went through hardships and arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and reported the situation of the anti-Japanese uprising in eastern Hebei to Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai. Yang Shisan said: "Hong Linge and I just started the uprising, and our experience was very simple.
At that time, we said to the people in Jidong: "If you don't want to be a slave to the subjugated country, follow me!" As a result, thousands of people followed! There is only one goal - to resist Japan and save the country! In order to defeat the Japanese devils, people are willing to throw their heads and Sprinkling blood, the martyr Hong Linge set an example for us."
