Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

These days, the battle to annihilate the 33rd Division has been going on. Basically maintaining the rate of killing 2000 Japanese and puppet troops every day.

The Japanese positions have also been further compressed, and are currently compressed within an area of ​​200 square kilometers.

Everywhere the Japanese positions were plowed by heavy artillery.

Big rocks were blown into rubble, and small rocks were blown into soft soil.

Gunsmoke filled every corner of the position and never had a chance to dissipate.

It just faded a little, and immediately added a wave of artillery fire.

The thicker the smoke, the heavier the gloom in the heart of Ji Wude, the leader of the Xiling Gun Association.

Whenever a country or nation is invaded by a foreign enemy, a group of traitors will always appear, which is almost a rule.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, various guild sects blossomed everywhere and rose rapidly under the banner of defending their hometown.

Huidaomen is the general name for private organizations with a secret nature such as Hui, Dao, Men, Jiao, Tan, She, etc.

Most of them were established in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early years of the Republic of China.

The leaders of the Taoist sects opened altars to offer offerings, chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha, created and spread absurd fallacies and heresies, supplemented by certain charitable activities, deceived, threatened, and induced the people to develop Taoist disciples and expand the organization.

Throughout the ages, a large number of believers have been deceived by such organizations. They have always had soil to live in.

Therefore, Huidaomen once had considerable popularity and mass appeal across the country.

Some Taoist species are spread almost all over the country and have many followers, while others are only active in certain areas and belong to local Taoist sect organizations.

These guilds are of mixed quality, and many are organized using feudal superstitions. They are a mixed bag of good and bad, with no distinction between right and wrong.

The Huidaomen organization had a certain social influence at that time.

Some Taoist sects have a greater sense of justice and can be used to persuade and educate them.

Through transformation and integration, we can quickly provide strong support for the anti-Japanese cause.

For example, organizations across Qilu actively united, fought for, and transformed Huidaomen, transforming them into anti-Japanese armed forces.

Organizations such as "Tang Tiandao" and "Gangfeng Dao" were adapted into anti-Japanese armed forces.

The "Boshan First Regiment of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps" and the "Independent Regiment of the Bolai Border People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps" were both formed from the transformed Huidaomen organizations.

Most of these anti-Japanese armed forces were incorporated into the Fourth Detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army and became an important force in the anti-Japanese struggle.

At the same time, more enlightened Taoist organizations were transformed into county and district anti-Japanese armed forces, making contributions to the local anti-Japanese struggle.

But such sects are in the minority.

Most of the sects colluded with and took refuge in plaster imperialism during the Anti-Japanese War.

Relying on the power of the Japanese pirates, they vigorously developed organizations, actively spread non-resistance and failure sentiment, and fooled the masses into becoming obedient citizens of the Japanese pirates.

Many Taoist leaders also directly collected military intelligence for the plaster secret service, undermined anti-Japanese organizations and anti-Japanese work, and became tools for Japanese pirates to invade China.

The "Xiling Gun Club" was such a reactionary force and belonged to a cult organization of that era.

Some ordinary people were deceived by it and joined the Xiling Gun Club.

It uses the appeal of the Taoist sect to set up altars to burn incense and recruit disciples into the guild. It also makes the Taoist disciples drink talisman water and recite talismans, falsely claiming that this can make them invulnerable, and deceiving and fooling the Taoist disciples into serving them.

In 1940, the gun club was bought and used by the plaster army and belonged to the "Tianxian Miaodao Society". It continued to expand its strength and formed a reactionary armed force with Xiling as the center and liaison with various villages and gun clubs.

This evil force relies on the Japanese as its backing and is domineering and domineering in the local area. It bullies and exploits the people at will and opposes our anti-Japanese government.

They are running rampant in the countryside, preying on the villagers, extorting people's property, and robbing people's daughters. They do all kinds of evil, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

In the autumn of 1940, in order to dismantle the power of the Gun Association and win them over to the Anti-Japanese Front, our underground organization sent members to the Gun Association to conduct persuasion and education work.

Later, members of the underground organization were sent to serve as leaders of the Yanggaoquan Vigilante Group, in order to control the leaders of the gun association as much as possible and win the deception of the masses to wake up.

It has also achieved certain results.

However, since Ji Wude and other extreme reactionaries were trained by the Japanese to serve as Taoist leaders, they relied on the Japanese's support and did not take our advice at all.

They hunted down the underground traffic agents of my organization, gouged out their eyes, dug out their hearts, and tore them into pieces.

They repeatedly looted our military supplies, besieged and ambushed our county brigade and district squad, and sent our captured soldiers to the Japanese in the county town for reward.

Later, we still adhered to the idea of ​​​​trying to fight for it and sent people to repeatedly persuade and educate them, urging them to turn their guns and fight against the Japanese together.

However, the "Xiling Gun Club" relied on the backing of plaster people. Not only did it ignore our efforts, but it also took the opportunity to assassinate anti-Japanese cadres and attack county armed forces in an attempt to destroy the anti-Japanese regime in Yangxian County.

The Taoists were all loyal to Ji Wude.

They are more harmful than the devils!

Because they have been entrenched in the local area for a long time, they are familiar with the local customs and know everyone there.

As a last resort, we finally decided to completely eradicate this cancer that is stubborn and hell-bent on being an enemy of the people.

After Huashui County was surrounded, the Xiling Gun Association conspired to assist the Japanese 33rd Division to escape.

They once tried to use thousands of Taoists to dig a tunnel. The plan is to pass from Xiling all the way to the outside of our army's encirclement.

Such a huge project is undoubtedly a big deal!

It's just that they don't know our army's reconnaissance methods, and they think they are safe at night, but they are caught by our army's drones!

In the middle of the night, Wang Chengzhu was called up. Wang Chengzhu was disturbed from his sweet dream, so he turned his anger on these Taoists and hit them with ten-ton cannonballs.

The explosion collapsed the tunnel entrance and killed more than [-] members of the Gun Club.

On March 3, the Xiling Gun Club cooperated with several other Huidaomen organizations to outflank the temple boss Gedui in two groups.

In an attempt to take advantage of the fact that Huashui County No. [-] is nearby, we can eliminate our underground organization in the Boss Gedui area.

One road is composed of Dongjin and Hanshang Gun Clubs, coming from Daning Village via the Yugou River. The other road is composed of Xiling and Qinshui Wenshan Gun Clubs, advancing from Fangshantou and Liujiayao.

Our underground organization sent people to risk their lives to spread the news and ask for help from Zhu Haipeng of the Second Regiment.

In fact, Huashui County No. [-] does not care about their affairs at all. It is trying to prevent our army from conquering the high ground on the north and west side.

Not many troops were invested on the south side.

However, the leaders of the Xiling Gun Club have done too many evil things. Knowing that our army can no longer tolerate them, they want to help the Japanese until the end.

In order to prevent our underground organization from being tipped off when we retreated to the south of Huashui County, we united with several other reactionary sects to jointly attack our anti-Japanese underground organization.

After Zhu Haipeng learned about it, he sent a company of the 3rd Battalion to rescue the boss's Gedui underground organization.

Although the Xiling Gun Club has many members, it lacks training and backward equipment.

Usually he can only bully kind people. Most of them fought with local troops such as county brigade and district squad.

Have you ever seen the elite soldiers of the Independent Brigade?

Some Taoists who were deceived into joining the Gun Club drank the talismanic water and muttered words, regarding our army as demons and wanted to burn our soldiers to death or bury them alive. It is also called "purification".

Naturally, our soldiers will not transfer the harm to themselves just because these Taoists are deceived, and let them kill themselves.

Anyone who dares to offend our righteous soldiers and civilians will pay the price!

These Taoists who have been deeply poisoned have committed countless evil deeds.

Maybe they don't think it's evil, and they think that as long as it is ordered by the bandit leader, it must be justice.

They believed that burning innocent people and anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians to death was justice for heaven.

Whether these people are intentional or not, they deserve to die!

Therefore, all kinds of bullets and artillery shells were poured over without mercy!

These Taoists did not wake up until the last moment of their lives: It turns out that all this is a scam! But it was too late, it had already been beaten into a sieve.

Some even don't realize that they have been deceived at this point, and are still wondering why they are afraid of bullets. Haven't they already drank the talisman water? Did he recite the spell wrong? Could it be that I am not sincere? Last time the bandit leader asked him to burn Song Xiaocui's 8-month-old demon-possessed child, but he didn't do it?

Both attacks by the Xiling Gun Club suffered heavy blows from local organizations such as the county brigade and the second regiment and third battalion. More than 800 cult members were killed on the spot and more than 400 were captured alive.

Some Taoists who still had some thinking ability saw the "fellow Taoists" who drank the talisman water falling down in droves. They glared angrily at the bandit leaders who were still encouraging them to rush forward and burn our soldiers to death, and fled in all directions.

In this battle, 14 reactionary backbones, including the bandit leader Ji Wude, were all arrested.

The anti-Japanese government of Yangcheng County immediately held a public sentencing meeting in Laowuzhuang and executed all 14 gun club bandit leaders.

The angry crowd set fire to the Dongling Temple, Lingkou Temple, Tutu Temple, Buddhist Temple, Dongjin Temple and other gun club nests.

The "Chaoting Mansion", the home of Tianxian Miaodao, was destroyed, and the "Chaoting", "Queen", "Princes" and other Taoist leaders were captured.

These people include some of the original Taoists who still have conscience.

Some knelt before the people who were usually oppressed, kowtowed and repented, and then turned around and threw themselves into the sea of ​​fire to die in apology.

The leaders of these reactionary Taoist sects were all listed with charges and executed.

The "Tianxian Miaodao Society" and the "Xiling Gun Club" collapsed.
