Documentary Zhang of "Eliminating Counterrevolutionaries" in North Sichuan Soviet Area: Female soldiers were executed because of their beautiful appearance.
The photo of Zhang He * * * (data map) becomes the hard evidence of "collaboration with the enemy" 1932 12. In late February, after the Red Fourth Front Army entered northern Sichuan, Lien Chan was victorious, the ranks grew rapidly, and the base areas continued to expand and consolidate. When the Red Army was full-fledged, Zhang launched a larger-scale counter-revolutionary movement in northern Sichuan than in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. Zhang did cut off dissidents in the name of "eliminating counter-revolutionaries", but the grim reality at that time was that there were indeed some counter-revolutionaries rampant in the Sichuan-Shaanxi Soviet area. The "Gaitian Party" and "White Powder Society" organized by reactionary gentry even used feudal superstition to openly carry out armed counter-revolutionary activities. For example, shortly after the liberation of Chibei County, the Soviet cadres in the county mobilized the people to dredge the river on the earthen platform in the city center to help the Red Army smooth the logistics transportation. The "Gaitian Party" elements mixed with the people suddenly shot at the cadres on the stage. At the same time, another tiger rushed into the Chibei County Prison of the Security Bureau to cooperate with the prisoners, killing the director and guards of the county security bureau and robbing the criminals. 1In August, 933, counter-revolutionaries hidden inside the Red 29 army colluded with the enemy and launched the "Maya Incident" that shocked the Soviet area. Chen Qianlun, commander of Red 29 army, Li Gen, political commissar, and generals of the Red Army were almost completely annihilated. Only the deputy commander * * * (the father of * * *-the author's note) survived. In the face of such rampant counter-revolutionary activities, it is absolutely necessary and necessary to take drastic measures to suppress them. The question is not whether Zhang should carry out counter-revolution, but that this counter-revolution is still as loose as before, so that many loyal revolutionaries are pushed to the guillotine just because of unwarranted doubts. What is even more ridiculous is that some security cadres judge good people and bad people by their literacy, whether they have cocoons on their hands or not, and whether their skin is black or not. Even the man with a pen in his coat pocket has unfortunately become the target of revolutionaries. Moreover, Zhang, the leader of the revolutionary party, is headstrong and intolerant of different opinions. He is regarded as a dissident if he slightly contradicts on major issues. 1932 65438+February, on the way of the Red Fourth Front Army's westward expedition to Sichuan and Shaanxi, Yu Dusan, Kuang Jixun and others sharply criticized Zhang's mistake in giving up the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas at the Xiaohekou meeting. Zhang was isolated and forced to review, but he has been miserable. As soon as the Red Army gained a foothold in northern Sichuan, he began to attack: Ceng Zhongsheng and Yudusan were thrown into prison; Kuang Jixun was deprived of military power soon after he entered Sichuan. He first served as chairman of the newly established Sichuan-Shaanxi Provisional Revolutionary Committee, and was soon transferred to Chijiang County as commander of the air. 1In mid-February, 933, when local tyrants in northern Sichuan besieged the Red Army, Zhang visited the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Provisional Committee. When he went out to get on the horse, he suddenly remembered something and said to Kuang Jixun, "It seems useless for me to write Abel Tamata's letter. You worked as a brigade commander in the Sichuan army and made many friends in the military camp. Do you want to write them a letter, too? Even if we can't mobilize them to defect, it is good to strive for their neutrality. Kuang Jixun thought for a moment and said, "Xie Dekan (Sichuan Army Brigadier) once worshipped me in Chengdu, and I helped Luo Zezhou a lot. This time, they also brought the army. I can write them a letter and try. " However, Kuang Jixun's letter to Luo Zezhou and Xie Dekan somehow fell into Zhang's hands. Zhang arrested one of the founders of the Red Fourth Front Army for "collaborating with the enemy", and the Political Security Bureau tied Kuang to Guandi Temple in Hongkou Township, Tongjiang. And Zhang was also detained on charges of "being the leader of the right-wing clique" and "urging Chen to cancel the right-wing clique". Facing Zhang's elaborate plot, Kuang Jixun knew it was a chance. He wrote in his suicide note before his execution: "Comrade Zhong Sheng and (Zhang-editor's note), I will go first. Please take care of yourself. If you live to win, please report to the CPC Central Committee that Kuang Jixun was revolutionary and died unjustly ... "Several executives tied Kuang Jixun's hands behind his back and pushed them into the yard behind Guandi Temple. They put a rope around Kuang Jixun's neck and threw it on a tree fork. Another executive grabbed the rope and pulled it hard ... Five days later, Yu Dusan was killed. 1September, 935, in Zhuokeji, western Sichuan, Zhang ordered people to be executed. The opponents of the bloody case at Xiaohekou Ancestral Temple were wiped out by Zhang, and the commanders and fighters of the 33 rd Army, who were adapted from the local armed guerrillas in eastern Sichuan, soon became the key targets of the counter-revolutionaries. The troops moved from their original defensive positions and concentrated in Nanba Field, Masanggou, Huangshi Dam and Tumenzi in Xuanhan. The army sent more than 300 cadres from Henan, Hubei and Anhui to "mix sand" and take charge of unified military power at all levels. The Political Security Bureau sent a dozen counter-revolutionaries to plunge into the 33rd Army. According to the list they have, they arrested "counter-revolutionaries" and tortured them. After a rough trial, they began to execute them. Bad news came frequently, and even Wang Bo, the commander of the 97th Division of the Red 33rd Army, who was brave and good at fighting, was frightened. On this day, Wang Bo got a call from the deputy commander of Luo Nanhui, informing him to go to Shuanghechang for a meeting the next day. Wang Bo set out in the middle of the night with four guards and rushed to Shuanghe Field, more than 80 miles away. Upon arrival, Wang Bo learned that the venue was located in Yang's ancestral hall, two miles away. Only the heads were allowed to go, and the guards waited in place. Accompanied by the 98th division commander Jiang and the political commissar Gong, he walked out of the training ground. They found that the alarm that day was unusual by the intuition of the soldiers. Every few steps, there is a Red Army soldier with a gun standing on both sides of the road, and you can see at a glance from the clothes that it is not a soldier of their 33 rd Army. Of course, they can't know that just one day ago, the director of the Political Protection Bureau personally led 300 senior executives to Shuanghechang, waiting for the middle and senior commanders of the 33 rd Army to behave themselves and be slaughtered by their necks. As soon as they entered the ancestral hall, Jiang, Gong told them to hand over their weapons. Walking into the hall in fear and trembling, I noticed that he was the only one among the three teachers of the 33 rd Army: Jiang Gang was arrested and Ran Nanxuan, the teacher of the 99 th Division, disappeared. In the past, when I met a subordinate commander in a meeting, I always liked to call names and "rinse the jar." Special affectionate Luo Nanhui deputy commander just nodded to him coldly, with something in his eyes. Shouts and curses in the backyard soon spread to the hall, and the commanders present panicked and whispered to each other. Wang Bo and other commanders of the 33rd Army who attended the meeting were emotional and asked to leave the room, but they were stopped by the armed executive at the door. When the Secretary for Security learned that all the other 70 people on the death list had been arrested except Yang Keming, political commissar of the 33rd Army, and Wei Chuantong, secretary-general of the Political Department, he stood up and said sharply, "Don't be restless. All comrades present here are loyal fighters of the Party, but the counter-revolutionaries are so insidious and cunning that they blinded your's eyes with their fantasies. I announce to you with a highly responsible attitude that the Political Security Bureau of the Central Branch is not free. Before taking action against the 33rd Army, we had the accurate information of the "Gaitian Party" and "White Powder Society" who infiltrated the 33rd Army. At the command of the executive team leader, 73 middle and senior commanders, including Ran Nanxuan and Jiang, who were bound, were taken to the patio. Surrounded by killers with discerning knives, there are gunmen with live ammunition outside. When Li Shizhong saw this scene, he angrily shouted to the Secretary for Security: "It seems that you are the protagonist of this scene today. Let me ask you, everyone is the Red Army led by Chairman Zhang. Why did you tie us up? The Secretary for Security had no patience to argue with him, so he suddenly shouted to the executive captain, "What are you doing? Why don't you start working? " At the command, all the soldiers swarmed forward, and the discerning broadsword was cut off on the heads of the Red Army commanders ... The killed Yang Keming and Wei Chuantong just arrived at the door, and an old man who had been a guerrilla soldier in eastern Sichuan flew out of the roadside and shouted: "I can't leave!" "He also said that he had just seen many leaders of guerrillas in eastern Sichuan tied up by" fellow villagers from other provinces "outside the courtyard wall of Yangjia ancestral temple, as if to behead them. Yang and Wei hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives. While the iron was hot, Zhang ordered the centralized detention of party member, an intellectual of the 33rd Army, in the name of study. Subsequently, more than 200 people including Deng Tingbi and Gao Jisheng were executed one after another. Before the Shuanghechang massacre, Wang Weizhou, commander of the Red 33rd Army, was deprived of military power and transferred to Pengyang Military Academy for study. When the news of the tragic deaths of many subordinates came, Wang Weizhou was shocked: How can the plenipotentiary sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deal with his comrades in a more cruel way than dealing with the enemy! When the two armies joined forces to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, every officer and soldier was extremely proud of being a member of the main Red Army. However, many of them fell into one trap after another before they changed into military uniforms, were beheaded and buried alive, died miserably and went astray! Desperate for personal safety, he broke into the headquarters and asked Zhang to plead for his sacrificed comrades, but Zhang severely refuted him: "What party loyal soldier?" A white handkerchief wrapped in my head, wearing a gown, sparse movements, I look like a bandit. Comrade Weizhou, although we are old comrades-in-arms, I still want to remind you that in such a grim situation, you must strengthen the concept of the enemy in your mind. Wang Weizhou retorted angrily: "Comrade Guo Dao, what do you mean by saying that I, Wang Weizhou, led a gang of bandits to fight against the reactionary forces in eastern Xia Chuan for so many years? East Sichuan guerrillas who treat me as a bandit? Is * * *, is a warlord! I can't believe that in this case, it can come from the mouth of your plenipotentiary of the Central Committee! " He said coldly, "Comrade Zhang, you are too impulsive. I took drastic measures to nip in the bud. I will regret it when something similar to 29 army happens. " The argument with Zhang failed to alleviate the pain. Moreover, he has to obey Zhang's orders and go back to clean up this mess. Even in this case, he never wavered in the party's cause. When his subordinates asked him to lead everyone away from the Fourth Army and set up another mountain, he resolutely stopped it. When a few people were frightened by the purge and plotted to drag their guns to the enemy behind his back, he did not hesitate to take drastic measures to preempt them. He endured the pain in his heart, took care of the overall situation, and went out to fight as always ... Zhang Pingding's "Hongmen Banquet" was killed by Zhang, and the Red Army Independent Division Commander was appointed. Four months ago, he was the brigade commander of the independent brigade of the Sichuan Military Department. The brigade is Yang's elite, with more than 2,000 people, many portable machine guns and mortars, and strong firepower. However, just outside Nanjiang, at the instigation of others, Ren resolutely turned around and joined the revolutionary camp. Wang Shusheng, then the commander of the 73rd Division of the Red 25th Army, held Ren's hand tightly and kept saying, "If the revolution is in no particular order, just come, just come!" "The soon-appointed independent brigade was reorganized into an independent division of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants. 1in may, 933, Tian tried to attack the red army from the north and south, and led an independent division to face the battle of Kongshanba, which was dealt a heavy blow by Abel Tamata. Ren was also granted electricity by the Chinese Soviet Union and the Provisional Central Committee. However, Zhang, who has a strong sectarian consciousness, never believed in the army, especially those officers who defected and surrendered. In conversations with his cronies, he repeatedly stressed that the uprising and defection troops needed guns, soldiers and officials. One day in late June, Zhang presided over a "military meeting" in Mumen Temple, Mumen Town, wangcang county, and asked commanders at or above the division level to attend. They thought it was an important military meeting, but they didn't expect it to be the "Hongmen Banquet". When the commanders dismounted in front of the ancient temple, they felt the atmosphere was abnormal. There are not only sentries around them, but also patrols with live ammunition walking around. Zhang looked up and examined the participants one by one: "In some places, the suppression of revolutionaries is not firm and thorough. Some people were minions of reactionaries before joining the Red Army. When they joined the Red Army, they also robbed the rich landlords and even their women. What was the result? Admit your mistake orally and let your family bring two pigs to the army, even if you surrender. In some units, many landlords and rich peasants have infiltrated and even held no low positions. I want to ask some leading comrades, is this team the people's army, or has it developed into the armed forces of landlords and rich peasants ... "Ren was stunned, and the troops he led were indeed complicated. After the adaptation, although it performed well on the battlefield, it can also rob people's money, divide the spoils and even occasionally rape women. He, Liu Qi and Liu Qi were resolute in their attitude and dealt with it seriously according to the discipline of the Red Army. They also publicly shot the three leading members of the landlord's wife and daughter. What makes him even more nervous is that when the Sichuan army attacked a few days ago, one of his battalion commanders, Yang Xiru, took people to mutiny at the front. That night, Zhang Yimin was taken away by the Security Bureau, and he still doesn't know anything about him. Zhang went on to say: "First, we must continue to check the class composition of the Red Army, pay attention to it frequently, check it thoroughly and quickly, especially strengthen the inspection of surrendered soldiers and recruits, and resolutely and thoroughly remove all bad elements and landlords and rich peasants from the revolutionary ranks; Second, the infiltration of counter-revolutionaries into local armed forces has long been planned, and political organs and military command organs at all levels must vigorously eliminate local armed forces, especially the leaders of local armed forces; Third, we must step up the transformation of the Soviet Union and eliminate all bad elements hidden inside the Soviet Union ... "Zhang suddenly fell face and roared:" Arrest the counter-revolutionaries who infiltrated the Red Army! " Any surprise, before he could speak, the two soldiers standing behind him had twisted his arms behind his back and tied them up. Zhang continued to announce a long list of "counter-revolutionaries", read one, tied one ... only after he was arrested did he know that he had been executed three days ago. All cadres at or above the company level in independent divisions have also been put in prison. Their first test after becoming prisoners was to stone their beloved teacher to death. Ren was pushed into the pit, and at the command, the prisoners lined up in a long string, each with a stone in his hand, and went to the pit in turn to smash it. Qiu Zhenghe and Colonel Ren are sworn brothers. They refused to start work, and immediately tied their hands behind their backs and pushed them into the pit ... history was not only soaked with too many bitter tears, but also stained with blood. Marshal Xu still remembers the catastrophe caused by his own people more than half a century ago: "Zhang personally interrogated him. At first, I was asked to attend the meeting because I put forward some different opinions. Later, I was simply thrown aside, even refused to attend the meeting, and even secretly censored me. There are mainly three kinds of people who "eliminate counter-revolutionaries": first, people who come from the White Army, whether they are insurgents, traitors or prisoners, must be examined for counter-revolutionary behavior; Second, those from landlords and rich peasants' families, regardless of their performance, should be inspected; Third, intellectuals and young students who have studied for a few days should also be censored. Severely beheaded, lightly cleaned. In order to prevent the troops from changing, Zhang and other branch leaders also decided to dissolve the mixed organization by battalion. The sub-bureau formed an inspection team and sent it to each division to supervise the "elimination of counter-revolutionaries", which made everyone feel insecure and acquaintances were afraid to speak when they met, for fear of being called "secret organizations" and "counter-revolutionary activities." (Xu's Review of History, published by * * Press, 1987 edition) The Destruction of the House of the Red Army was taken away by Zhang, and the commander of the military spy camp was naturally dead. Ren was an outstanding hero and a member of the famous "Home of the Red Army" in the northern Sichuan base at that time. In this family, two brothers, Wang Xinzheng, three sisters, Wang Xinshi, Wang Xinshi and Ren, who were adopted, all joined the Red Army. Among the brothers and sisters in the Red Army home, the youngest is the female general Wang Xinlan (the wife of the youngest female Red Army general Xiao Hua on the Long March), who was only 9 years old when she joined the Red Army. Their uncle is Wang Weizhou, commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in eastern Sichuan. The Wangs' participation in the Red Army in North Sichuan Soviet Area is a much-told story, and even the organ newspaper of the provincial Soviet Union, Poor People in North Sichuan, published an article introducing the "Home of the Red Army". However, the reason why four of these six people became revolutionary martyrs impressed future generations deeply: none of them died on the battlefield of the enemy's struggle, but they were all killed by their own people, leaving only two sisters, Wang Xinshi and Wang Xinlan. The first person killed in the Red Army's house was Fourth Brother Ren. The charge is that he was the Communist Youth League Secretary of Qingxi Township before he joined the Red Army (which was sent by the party organization to catch guns for * * *). Many local bigwigs who had close contacts with him when he was a Communist Youth League Secretary later became members of the White Powder Society and the Gaitian Party, which were enemies of the Soviet regime. 1933 One evening in late autumn, Ren was taken to Fengcheng Mountain with his hands tied behind his back, where the leaves rustled. Several Red Army soldiers pushed him to a pit. The pit is very big, with grey cloth torn by skeletons, bones and wild dogs, and many fresh mutilated bodies. Several Red Army soldiers standing behind him all carried broadswords, but they didn't kill him. They introduced a prisoner and asked him to be the executioner. The prisoner was unwilling and begged for a desperate retreat. Red Army soldiers cut him with the back of a knife, and an official even reprimanded him majestically: "This is an opportunity to see if you can draw a clear line with your counter-revolutionary brother-in-law and accept the test of revolution!" -forced to be executioners, and Wang Xinzheng, Ren's wife, Wang's two brothers. Ren cried sadly, "Come on, brother, if you don't cut me, they will do it, and I don't blame you!" " Even after such a severe test, the Wangs were born to die. A month later, the two brothers were also executed by the Security Bureau. Before the execution, the two brothers were filled with grief and indignation and asked to see the teacher to say goodbye. Teacher Wang Bo and the soldiers stood together, but tears could only flow into their hearts ... Wang Bo later spoke at an old comrades' party and said, "After more than 50 years, I still clearly remember those tearful eyes, like lights, always shining in my mind." He also said that after liberation, when he met Wang, he never talked about Ren's murder, nor about his final breakup with Xinmin and Xinzheng. The visitor in Beijing said, "Actually, my fourth sister knows about Ren's death. On the day Ren was killed in Fengcheng Mountain, a farmer who knew him hid behind a stone bag and saw it. He immediately ran to Qingxichang to report to my fourth sister. When Fourth Sister got there, it was already midnight. She felt the darkness and recognized her husband from the dead. She carried him to Nagata Bay, quietly dug a hole and buried him. She also asked the masons to make a memorial tablet and stand in front of the grave. Later, after the Red Army retreated, the homecoming group came back to dig graves and smash monuments. " The most beautiful Wang Xinguo was executed in Fulu. At that time, the Forward Troupe, the Central Party School and the Red Army University all lived in a big temple in the city of Luhuo. One night, Xiao Lanxin slept with her sister Xin Guo. I don't know when, Xiao Lanxin was awakened. When she opened her eyes, her sister had been dragged up by several soldiers and was tying her arm with a rope. Without any explanation, the soldiers tied her up and pushed her out Wang Xinlan was only 12 years old, but a look at the cold atmosphere showed that disaster was coming. She threw herself at her, hugged her sister's waist desperately and cried, "Sister is a good person. Don't take her away! " Wang Xinlan watched her sister being taken into the middle of the night and never coming back ... Wang Xinlan has always been concerned about the demise of this new country. Many years later, through her husband Xiao Hua, she learned from a leader who was in charge of eliminating counter-revolutionaries that Wang Xinguo was killed because she was so beautiful and fair-skinned. At first glance, she is a good girl, a landlord-bourgeois family who has joined the revolutionary ranks. She is not at ease if she doesn't "clean up". Wang Xinshi, the fifth sister of Wang Xinlan, was once a soldier of the women's independent regiment. During the Long March, she couldn't keep up with the team with a baby on her back and was mobilized to leave the troops at the foot of Jin Jia Mountain. She begged all the way back to her hometown Qingxichang and worked as a farmer in Daba Mountain all her life. The "home of the Red Army" was thus destroyed by the ultra-left trend of thought. In such a massacre, Wang Xinlan could not identify the real murderer. Of course not. They are all soldiers who are absolutely loyal to the party. Even Zhang and Chen Changhao, who ordered the killing, executed the killing order in the counter-revolutionary movement, killing many officers and men of the Red Army, Soviet cadres and several cadres of the Fourth Army of the red masses. Wang Xinlan can't deny that he will do it himself ... because subjectively, they are also trying to "purify the revolutionary ranks" and "do a good job in the Red Army"! 1950, Wang Weizhou and Yu Hongyuan led the central condolence group to return to northern Sichuan, and said bitterly in front of Wang Ping Red Army Cemetery in Tongjiang: "The most unfortunate and sad thing is that more than 300 young cadres trained by the Party died innocently. Over the past few years, these comrades have shared weal and woe with me, waged a life-and-death struggle against the enemy in extremely difficult circumstances, created and expanded the guerrilla forces in eastern Sichuan, and were not killed by the reactionaries. However, after successfully joining forces with his own people, he was sacrificed under the butcher's knife of Zhang's left-leaning route. " Exposing a scarred wound is to learn the lesson of bleeding. This tragedy soaked with blood and tears is undoubtedly a valuable spiritual wealth presented by the victims to future generations.
