Body
My hometown is from Paste Town, and my father is in the mountain goods business, so in the past, my family was an industrialist, commercial and landlord. **During the period, I held a variety of positions, and on the eve of liberation, I served as the director of the Field and Grain Division of Xiushan County. After surrendering, I was very grateful to the Communist Party for its trust in me, and let me serve as the head of the Pingkai Military Grain Station, the head of the transportation unit, and the secretary of the Grain Bureau. I have experienced so many things in my life, and it is a great blessing to be treated favorably by the Communist Party. So, I would like to talk about two or three things that I experienced before and after liberation.
One. The day before liberation, I led more than 30 of my subordinates back to my hometown. On the night of the second day of liberation, I received a special letter from Ou Baichuan, Xiong Shaohan, and Yang Tonghui, asking me to go back to the city in the starry night to report to the people, I sewed plainclothes and walked back to the "Mulian Garden" outside the east gate. Work day and night, rain or shine, there is no week to rest at all, and there is no grain storage at all, and there is no grain reserve at all, relying on the current grain collection is extremely difficult and arduous, and at night it has never been loosely clothed and untied to sleep, and every time when it is extremely tired in the middle of the night, it is only a moment of sleep with clothes, because of the "meritorious atonement" heart, so the hardship, difficulty, life and death, have long been put aside.
Soon, ** quite felt that the grain transfer work to the south cadres really could not be carried out, every time I went to the car shop to shunt the car, the boss always said that there was no car to send in the name of repairing the car (in fact, the car was not repaired, they were unable to understand the language, and they were afraid that they would not get the freight), Ou, Xiong, and Yang were the heads of the advisory committee at that time, and I was also one of the members. Sure enough, Xing Huashan shouted to me and said: Comrade Lao Ran is a capable person who works hard, and from today onwards, you will be fully responsible for the transportation unit. This is the order I have only to recognize. Soon after, Geng Qingling, the secretary of the Food Bureau, hanged himself in fear of being guilty, and transferred me to the post of secretary concurrently.
With three positions, the busyness and hard work are indescribable. However, the "trend of thought of meritorious service and atonement" drove me, and I did not care about the hardships of these trivial matters at all, and threw myself wholeheartedly into my work, hoping to make contributions and make meritorious atonements.
Two. After the liberation, there were many bandits in Rongxi District, and they were very arrogant under the leadership of Kuomintang professional spies (lieutenant colonel level) Hong Shaokang and Zhang Hongxian (locals). District ** was forced to move, and two cadres from the south were killed.
Ou Baichuan, Xiong Shaohan, and Yang Tonghui went together to recommend to Yu Jiren of the county party committee: Rongxi bandits, it is best to send Ran Ziqin to reprimand, persuade and surrender, which can achieve certain results without any danger, and anyone else will not only be in vain, but also difficult to protect.
Political Commissar Yu (not called secretary at the time) talked to me and said: Ou Baichuan, Xiong Shaohan, and Yang Tonghui suggested that you go to Rongxi District to persuade you to surrender, what is your opinion? I immediately replied: **point**, I will run to**, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire. Political Commissar Yu smiled and said: That's good, you decide to go one day, I asked Captain Xu to send a squadron with you to protect your safety. I was like, "Okay!
I went home and told my uncle Ran Lianfang about this, and he replied: I have to go to this matter, but I can't take the troops there, and I know that you are sure that you will not harm you, but what about the captain, squad leader, and others? A few glasses of wine, a fight, and injuries to either side, you can't escape the blame. The next day, I went to the commissar and said, "Today I will persuade you to surrender." The commissar said: Is one squadron enough? I replied: Not a single soldier. Political Commissar Yu asked in surprise: What should you do if you are safe? I said, "They don't dare to hit a single hair of my hair, please rest assured, I will come back safely and smoothly." Political Commissar Yu repeatedly reminded me to be very careful, and I said that I would be unscathed, and I was sure in my heart.
I am a person from Anointian, I started from Anointian Township, and when I saw a lot of people on the street, I asked the local people what they were doing on the street? They replied that it was the four townships that held a joint meeting. So I went directly to the township office, and when I saw that it was heavily guarded, I asked the guards: Where is your township chief? The guard replied that there was a meeting. I ordered him to tell him that I was coming. The eight township chiefs (the four township chiefs and deputy township heads) welcomed me together and asked me, "Why are you here?" I replied solemnly: I'm here to save you, what are you doing? They replied: "It's in a meeting." I said: You are too ignorant, Fu Zuoyi is the commander of the 800,000-strong army, and has regular American-style equipment, after the uprising and surrendered to Cheng, * was appointed as the Minister of Water Resources, Ou Baichuan Division Commander was appointed as the vice governor of Guizhou Province after surrendering to Chengcheng, Xiong Shao Han Toucheng was later appointed as a member of the Sichuan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (it is estimated that Ran is old and old, and his memory is wrong, at that time, Ou and Xiong had not yet held this position. Editor's note), Yang Tonghui Toucheng later served as a member of the Standing Committee and deputy director of the county congress. After I reported for duty, I served as the head of the Pingkai Military Grain ** Station and the head of the Transportation Unit, as well as the secretary of the Food Bureau. Don't these people above us have a better vision than you? Are your sins greater than ours? Anyone can be willing to surrender, but can't you be willing to be willing to do so? Moreover, the policy of the Communist Party is: "Be lenient in confession, be strict in resisting, and receive awards for great meritorious service." Then, for example, the metaphor of exhausting the lips and tongue and convincing them with all the strength of the soul. Later, the eight township chiefs said with a smile: We listen to you, and you won't harm us. Then he set up wine for me to ward off the cold and wash away the dust.
During the banquet, everyone was talking and laughing, as always. After the banquet was dispersed, Zhang Shaosong, the head of the township, said to me: There are many people here, I will send many confidants to send you to my father's place to stay, and tell him about it by the way. Twenty villagers were sent to his father, and I persuaded him to surrender to Cheng and told Zhang Yinsong, and he strongly agreed. And thank you for my concern for them. When I went to bed after supper, I heard dogs everywhere, but I wanted to stay at his house, and no one dared to mess around, so I slept peacefully. The next morning, Mr. Yin Song said to me: After you went to bed last night, the deputy of the township team brought people here in an attempt to inflict harm on you, and after I severely criticized you, he led his troops back. He sent someone to send me to the Anotian Township Office and asked his son Zhang Shaosong to strengthen the protection of me. After arriving at the township office, I was not timid or anxious to return to the county government and continued to work at risk. I went to Yutang Bay in Yuping Township to find Senator and Principal Ran Xizhen. He also actively supported my actions, and during supper, someone suddenly shouted outside the door: Please Senator Ran come out, someone will meet you. Ran Xizhen immediately dropped her chopsticks and went to make an appointment. About ten minutes or so, Ran Xizhen returned angrily, I asked which one? He replied: The deputy of the township team of the Rongxi Township Office came here in an attempt to harm you, and after my serious opposition, he collected the troops and went back, and it seems that the situation is indeed complicated. It's very dangerous for you, and you should go back early.
The next day, Ran Xizhen took more than 20 of his cronies and sent me to the Paste Tian Township Office, and then Zhang Shaosong sent a total of 60 reliable people to immediately take a detour from Pingyang Gai to Meisha Township through the Yankou section of the cross road to return to the county government. On the third day, Mr. Zhang Yinsong came to Xiushan County Government to express his sincerity, handed over 74 rifles and more than 1,000 bullets (in this case, the county CPPCC published a book to examine), and then left him to play for a day and arranged for food and lodging. Zhang Yinsong was originally a heinous crime, and if there was no behavior and performance of Xiucheng handing over a gun to the people to express his sincerity, he was the primary target of shooting at that time. However, in the end, he was able to die well, which fully illustrates the party's good policy of rewarding meritorious service.
Three. At the time of liberation, the military rations collected by Xiushan were either stolen by bandits or burned to the ground. When the liberation of the southwest, Liu Deng's army crossed the border, and it was really impossible to solve the first problem. At that time, 100 tons of grain were borrowed from the Youyang area to the Tongren area of Guizhou and delivered to the Songtao County Government. The county assigned me to mobilize vehicles in the starry night to transport grain to Songtao with a grain borrowing voucher.
At that time, there were few cars and many broken cars, so every effort was made to gather ten cars to go to Songtao to borrow food. After the grain borrowing voucher was delivered, the transport team was called to get on the car and drive back to Xiushan. Who knew that there was an accident and was transported to the foot of Tianxing Slope, and I encountered Yang Battalion Commander, a subordinate of Yang Engui, the former commander of the 82nd Division, who sent troops to block the transportation and wanted to force it back. I hurriedly got out of the car, and when I stepped forward, it turned out to be an acquaintance, it was Yang Xianhui, the battalion commander (I had lived in Yongtu Yang Engui's Mansion for a period of time, and I was more familiar with it). I hurriedly stepped forward and said: Camp Commander Yang, don't come unharmed! When he saw me, he was amazed and said, "How could it be you?" I said that on the recommendation of Division Commander Ou Baichuan, I have participated in the work of the people of Xiushan County, and today I was ordered to escort the car, and asked Battalion Commander Yang to raise his noble hand and let me go, otherwise I will be punished when I return to the county government. He thought for a moment and said: Okay! In addition to me, there is a team to patrol, you quickly cross the star slope, the Sichuan boundary will be safe, I shook hands and thanked the drivers, and then asked the drivers to increase the throttle, increase the horsepower, speed up. And, if you safely cross the Tianxing Slope, you will be rewarded with a cigarette, otherwise, you will report to the Public Security Bureau for severe punishment. So the drivers quickly crossed the Tianxing Slope and arrived safely at Xiushan, which solved the urgent need of Liu Deng's army in time.
On this mission, I met the old department of the 82nd Division of the Kuomintang on the road, if I hadn't met an old acquaintance, it would be difficult to transport the food back, which would seriously affect the military.
