"That kid is a senior Communist Party official, arrest him!"
On the evening of December 7, 1947, on the outskirts of Huai'an County, Jiangsu, the leader of the First Returning Township Regiment pointed to the middle-aged man who had just passed by.
As soon as the middle-aged man heard this, he ran away......
This middle-aged man's name is Li Fengqi, and he is a veteran scout of the enemy station in Huai'an County.
At that time, he had just completed the mission of "exploring Huaicheng (now Huai'an District)" and was about to return to his life.
Unexpectedly, when I was halfway there, more than a dozen returning regiments suddenly came to my face.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and Li Fengqi pressed the brim of his hat, not wanting to attract their attention.
The group members were also a little tired, talking without a pair, and did not pay attention to Li Fengqi.
Unexpectedly, when he passed by, the captain of the Tuanding squad glanced at him, recognized who he was, and hurriedly ordered the arrest.
Li Fengqi reacted quickly, turned directly into the grass on the side of the road, and ran away.
But the two sides were too close, and the other party was numerous, and Li Fengqi couldn't escape in the end.
The team leader of the group looked at Li Fengqi who was tied with his hands tied, and said with a smile: "This is a big celebrity in our Huaicheng, and there will be a big reward for bringing him back!"
A group of people escorted Li Fengqi and walked back, but before they reached the town, it was dark.
In order to prevent Li Fengqi from escaping at night, the group members abducted into Xiaowangzhuang and came to the house of Wu Birong, a relative of the team leader, to rest for a while.
Wu Birong hurriedly lit the fire to cook and entertain this group of ruffians.
While the team leader asked Li Fengqi to be locked in the firewood room, he sent someone to report the news overnight, and if the above was in a hurry to interrogate, he would bring more helpers back.
Li Fengqi sat on the pyre, secretly determined in his heart that no matter how tortured by the enemy, he would not reveal the party's secrets.
But not long after, a sentence outside made him completely dumbfounded.
The group who went to the town to report the letter came back and reported to the leader: "The mayor of the town said that this person is a hard bone, and he will not recruit him no matter what." You don't have to leave your mouth alive, just execute it!"
Seeing that the team leader was a little frustrated, he continued to report: "Captain, the mayor of the town said that the credit is still ours!"
As soon as the team leader heard this, he immediately came to his senses and shouted: "Ah Pi, Mao Sheng, you two go outside to dig a pit and bury him in a while!"
Li Fengqi was also a little dumbfounded when he heard this, he was ready to be tortured, but he didn't expect the enemy to even try him.
He subconsciously wrestled the rope on his wrist, but he had no choice but to tie it too tightly, and there was no hope of breaking free.
Li Fengqi was in a complicated mood, but he could only passively accept the impending doom.
In the kitchen, Wu Birong and his wife were busy, serving dishes to the hall, and more than a dozen group members were eating five or six times.
After Wu Birong finished his work, he took another bowl of rice from the pot and walked to the firewood room.
The team leader was so drunk that his face was red and his neck was thick, he looked at Wu Birong and asked strangely, "Second cousin, who are you going to send food to?"
Wu Birong replied: "I'll give Li Lao Si a bowl of rice, I don't care about the grievances between you, but this folk, even if you want him to go on the road, this severed head meal can't be missing!"
This was reasonable, and the team leader was not easy to refute, so he waved his hand at him, and then drank with his subordinates.
Wu Birong hummed a little song, came to the firewood room with a bowl, and said to the guards with a smile: "Little third son, they eat and drink spicy food in the house, but they let you freeze here." Don't worry, someone will come for you later, and I'll give you all the food and drinks to be hot in the pot!"
After hearing this, the guard hurriedly thanked him, flashed to the side, and made way for Wu Birong.
Wu Birong took the rice cat, entered the firewood room with his waist, squatted in front of Li Fengqi and said, "Li Laosi, you're hungry, eat!"
Li Fengqi couldn't eat at this time, he shook his head and said, "Second Brother Wu, I understand your kindness, I don't need to eat now!"
Wu Birong turned around and smiled at the guards who came in, stuffed the bowl into Li Fengqi's hand and said, "What is this, this meal is the most important thing in your life, you have to eat it 'carefully'!"
Just as the bowl was put in Li Fengqi's hand, he suddenly felt a hard object at the bottom of the bowl, and he couldn't help but feel a wild beat in his heart.
Li Fengqi pretended to excuse himself, put the hard object into his sleeve, and then took the bowl again, said "thank you", and drank the porridge while holding the bowl.
After Wu Birong left, Li Fengqi took advantage of the sound of the guards' attention on the inner room to slash their fists, and quietly smoothed out the hard object, which turned out to be a knife fragment.
Li Fengqi was overjoyed and secretly cut the rope tied to his hand.
While the guards weren't paying attention, Li Fengqi pushed the back window violently and jumped out.
By the time the guards reacted and called out, Li Fengqi was gone.
The group members sobered up all of a sudden, picked up their guns and chased them out, but they searched all over the village, and they didn't see Li Fengqi's shadow.
In fact, Li Fengqi was lying in the mass grave, but the enemy went back and forth several times, but no one dared to go there to look for him.
After escaping, Li Fengqi never dared to return to Xiaowang Village, until after liberation, when he was sure that Wu Birong was safe, he ran to thank him for saving his life.
Li Fengqi is a party member who has been tested for many years, he has done the work of the leader of the security organs, he has also gone undercover to the ranks of the puppet army, and he also participated in the war of liberation.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the organization appointed him as the head of the armed forces of Pinglu County, Yuncheng, Shanxi.
But he felt that his task had been accomplished, so he voluntarily resigned and returned to his hometown in Henan to work as a farmer, never mentioning his combat experience.
"After the incident, go to hide your merit and fame", some people may not understand people like Li Fengqi, the old hero, but in that era, there were really many such people.
Their reason was pure, unbelievably pure: to drive the enemy out and let the common people have their own homes......
That's all, not for any fame and fortune.
