In 1971, during the southern tour, Yue Suhua, the captain of the special train, recalled that he still had palpitations along the way.
1970 year"Ninety-second Plenum"After that, he advocated the in-depth study of Marxism-Leninism by the whole party, and on this basis, he launched a campaign"Criticism"for the purpose of rectification movement.
This movement heralded the gradual revelation of the conspiracy of the ** counter-revolutionary group. During the rectification movement, ** expressed strong dissatisfaction with Huang Yongsheng, Wu Faxian, Ye Qun, Li Zuopeng, Qiu Huizuo and others.
Ninety-second Plenum"Period, about"Whether or not to set ***"with"Call *** a genius"and other issues have caused heated debate. As the conspiracy of the counter-revolutionary group was gradually revealed, he felt that his attempt to steal the country's leadership was difficult to achieve, so he began to plot an armed coup d'état to seize power.
From July 1971 onwards, the atmosphere in Zhongnanhai became increasingly tense. In the People's Liberation Army Daily, the People's Liberation Army Daily, and the Red Flag magazine, articles have reminded the whole party to be vigilant against possible "Khrushchev-like figures."
After that, **recommended a book of late Qing politics called "He Dian" to the Politburo**, and quoted one of the poems to warn**: There is no good medicine in the mouth, there is no medicine for death and disease, medicine doctors do not die for disease, and a pair of empty hands to see the king of Hades.
In fact, he is warning him to pull back from the precipice and avoid the impending political turmoil from having a greater impact on the country. However, ** did not accept this warning and always refused to comment on **.
Yue Suhua, as the captain of the special train, experienced the thrilling 29 days of the southern tour in August 1971. At that time, ** was preparing for a southern tour to meet with the founding generals and senior political cadres scattered throughout the country.
However, the counter-revolutionary group headed by ** is carrying out assassination operations against ***. After receiving a notice from her superiors asking her to be on call around the clock, Yue Suhua had a premonition that something big would happen.
In 1971, **'s trip to the south was launched, and unlike in the past, the train route and stopover time were abnormal and irregular.
During the more than 20 days of this southern tour, the train departing from Beijing has arrived in Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places. During the trip, ** appeared unusually dignified, and the time for rest was extremely limited.
Everywhere you go, as long as you park safely, you will immediately meet with the main leaders of various places, and the length can vary from one or two hours to only ten minutes.
Such intensive arrangements for the conference show the tense level of the situation at that time.
In the schematic diagram of the southern tour route in 1971, when the train entered Wuhan, Zhang Yaoci, the head of the first guard regiment, made a study and deployment of the staff on the train.
He stressed that the flight attendants should adhere to Marxism-Leninism, oppose revisionism, unite as one, do not engage in ******, be above board, and do not engage in conspiracy and trickery. At the same time, he also asked the train attendants to sing "The Internationale" and "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" along the way.
During this southern tour, the train attendants and guards were highly nervous, and although everyone was learning to sing these two red songs, the loud singing only increased the tension and made everyone's hearts flutter.
According to Yue Suhua's recollection, when the train traveled from Changsha and Nanchang all the way to Hangzhou, it was September 8, 1971. The chairman offered to take a break when he got off the train, so as soon as the train arrived in Hangzhou, he left the carriage with the guards.
Yue Suhua and other train staff followed the train to the Jianqiao Airport special line to standby. On the train, the staff of the air base came to pay condolences to the crew who stayed on the train, and two movies were also screened.
Due to the high level of mental tension for many days, Yue Suhua and the flight attendants in the same dormitory returned to the dormitory early to rest after watching the movie.
In the middle of the night, Yue Suhua heard someone calling her name in a daze. She immediately woke up from her deep sleep and found that it was Captain Zhao calling outside the window. She hurriedly got up and asked through the window what was going on.
Captain Zhao leaned over and whispered to Yue Suhua: "Don't turn on the lights, get up quickly, take everything and get into the car." The other flight attendants in the same dormitory also woke up one after another, and everyone quickly put on their clothes, packed their luggage, and walked out of the dormitory.
This kind of emergency pull has been encountered in training before, but it is rare in the actual execution of the chairman's travel mission. After Yue Suhua and the other crew members got on the train, they began to inspect the train before it started.
Since Captain Zhao had made arrangements before, there were no lights on the train during the inspection work. When all the inspections are completed, the conductor immediately announces the upcoming departure of the train via radio.
When the locomotive of the train started, a huge roar alarmed the garrison of the base. When the person in charge of the base came to inquire, the train was ready, and Captain Zhao handed over the food money and food stamps that had been prepared long ago.
As soon as he returned to the carriage, the train departed without the slightest stop. Yue Suhua was puzzled by this sudden night pull, the chairman had never acted at night, why did he do it this time?
Why didn't I see the chief's convoy when I stopped at Hangzhou Station, and the special train drove away directly?These questions swirled in Yue Suhua's heart, but the leader did not explain, and Yue Suhua also abided by her own confidentiality habits"If you know, you don't say, if you don't know, you don't ask"。
She probably had a number in her mind, because in her early years, she had heard that the security work of the chairman when he traveled was always false and real, and in order to ensure the safety of the chairman, the train ran over the ground, and the chairman flew in the sky by plane from time to time.
After several hours of travel, the train stopped for a day and a night on a special line near the city of Shaoxing. For Yue Suhua, every minute is an ordeal, not knowing what will happen in the next minute.
It was not until noon on the 10th that the commander received an order to call the person who picked up the car to return to Hangzhou. In the afternoon, the train drove from Shaoxing to Hangzhou again, and Yue Suhua saw *** get on the train, and then immediately headed for Shanghai.
When the special car arrived in Shanghai, it was already the evening of the 10th.
The train stopped outside the special line outside Hongqiao Airport, ** did not get off, he rested quietly in the carriage until the next morning, Yue Suhua noticed a jeep in the distance, and the two people got off the train and walked directly to the chairman's carriage.
Later, Yue Suhua learned that those two people were Wang Hongwen and Xu Shiyou. According to Wang Dongxing's memories many years later, the night they were near Hongqiao Airport, they were waiting for Xu Shiyou's arrival, Xu Shiyou was in the military reclamation farm in Dabie Mountain, and after receiving the secret order of ***, he immediately went to Shanghai to meet ***
After the Lushan meeting, ** met with Xu Shiyou, mainly talked about the struggle within the party, and warned him not to leave his post casually, so as not to cause problems.
**Ask Xu Shiyou to pay close attention to** the situation and be on call at any time.
When Wang Hongwen and Xu Shiyou left the carriage of ***, it was already 12 noon. The train staff was having a meal, but before they could eat a few bites, Zhang Yaoci came over and gave them an order, informing them that the train would leave immediately.
Hearing the news, everyone immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and began to prepare for the departure. However, even so, a few minutes later, Zhang Yaoci ran over again and urged: "Why hasn't the car started yet?"
Yue Suhua reported the situation to Zhang Yaoci and said: "I have contacted the Ministry of Railways, and the railway branch can only depart after the dispatch of vehicles is completed." As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yaoci was anxious, he said: "Drive immediately, don't delay for a moment, and listen to the chairman's command."
Everyone followed Zhang Yaoci's instructions and prepared to set off. However, another problem arises.
In 1966, ** took a photo with Zhang Yaoci. The chairman's special train will have an avant-garde car in front, and this avant-garde car generally maintains a distance of 15 minutes from the special train of ***.
In addition to preventing hostile elements from sabotage, another important task is to ensure the safety of the vehicles behind. However, in such an emergency drive, the avant-garde car often does not have time to open a safe distance of 15 minutes in advance.
However, due to the urgency of the situation, the avant-garde car had to stop pulling distance. After asking for ***, the front and rear cars set off at the same time. ** The special train followed closely behind, and the avant-garde car gradually accelerated.
After leaving the Hongkou Airport Special Line, it took a long time for the front and rear trains to widen the distance, because the front and rear trains were running very fast.
In October 1963, ** studied the long-term planning map of water conservancy projects in Hebei Province on the special train, according to Yue Suhua's recollection, the train was speeding at that time, and the entire carriage was shaking, and even the book of *** was shaken to the ground.
The train driver kept his brakes on his hands and kept his eyes on the road ahead. Yue Suhua told Zhang Yaoci about the situation, but Zhang Yaoci's answer was: "Everything is subject to the chief's arrangement to ensure safety."
Luckily, the journey was uneventful, and when the train arrived at Nanjing Station, it was 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. After hearing the news, he smiled and said, "It's okay to be 10 minutes early."
The meaning of this sentence was only later truly understood by Yue Suhua.
On September 23, 1969, the chairman took a group photo with the staff of the special train in Tianjin. After that, Yue Suhua met Xu Shiyou, who had been waiting for a long time, at Nanjing Station, and the entourage reported the situation to the chairman.
However, the chairman said, "I don't see anyone, I want to rest." Wang Dongxing then conveyed the chairman's words to Xu Shiyou. The special train stayed in Nanjing for only fifteen minutes, and then left in a hurry.
After leaving Nanjing, the special train passed through Bengbu, Xuzhou, Jinan, Dezhou and Tianjin West Railway Station, and finally arrived in Fengtai, Beijing at noon on the 12th. During the whole journey, the train barely stopped, and even if it was replenished halfway, it was only a rush of ten minutes.
The President did not see any more heads of land.
Upon arrival in Fengtai, Beijing, the train did not immediately enter the station, but stopped at a military base on the way. Subsequently, the important leaders of the political and military commissions boarded the special train from here.
After the chairman held a meeting here for nearly two hours, the special train slowly drove into the platform of Beijing Railway Station. Originally, Yue Suhua and the others were ready to go home to rest after completing the task, but not long after getting off the train, they received an emergency notice early the next morning, asking all the train staff to be on standby on the train and enter a state of alert.
It happened to be September 13, 1971. Yue Suhua, who was in the car, didn't know what was going on.
It took more than half a month for the head of the railway line to convey the "Notice of the Communist Party of China on Defection" to all employees. Yue Suhua only understood what had happened along the way after hearing the news.
Looking back on the journey, she felt terrified. In fact, as early as when the special train of *** entered the special line of Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport to standby, he already felt abnormal.
Because the security work when traveling is usually taken over by the locality, but this time it is the political commissar of the Fifth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force who is in charge. At the same time, the Fifth Air Force also specially dispatched additional service personnel to the special train.
It was from this time that he was keenly aware of the conspiracy of the anti-party group to assassinate the chairman. ** After the bankruptcy of the conspiracy of the counter-revolutionary group.
*, the former marshal of the People's Republic of China, a military strategist, made a shocking decision on September 13, 1971. Despite the obstruction of the guards, he took his wife and boarded the plane fleeing to the Soviet Union alone.
However, his escape did not go smoothly and he crashed in Outer Mongolia at 2:30 a.m. on September 13. His ambition ultimately led to his defeat and the end of his life.
His act of changing the party and seizing power caused him to pay a heavy price, and he broke the truth that "if you do too much injustice, you will be killed." **Born on December 5, 1907 in Linjia Dawan, Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City, Hubei Province, died in Beijing on September 13, 1971.
His life was short, but his impact was profound.
