In 2006, Guangming ** Publishing House launched a book called "The General's Decisive Battle on the Battlefield", which was written by Huang Jiren, honorary chairman of the Chongqing Writers Association.
This masterpiece, which is known as the embodiment of our party's "socialist humanitarianism", mainly shows readers the transformation of the lives of some important Kuomintang war criminals who have been on the battlefield after the founding of New China.
Although the name "Gongdelin" may be unfamiliar to people now, it was a place that was really famous in the early days of the founding of New China. The reason for this is that the prisoners held here are all famous enemy generals who have left their names in history.
This is a ** from the Internet, which shows the eight famous generals of the first phase of Whampoa, who were imprisoned here after the defeat. Although our party has always adhered to the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, there is one person who is stubborn, no matter how persuasive the instructors are, he always firmly believes in the views of the reactionaries, and threatens to continue to confront the ** and the people once they are released.
In the end, because he could not carry out ideological reform, ** had to sentence him to death. He was the only one of the eight Whampoa students held here to be shot.
So, who is this person?
The Gongdelin outside the Desheng Gate in Beijing was once a mysterious temple that carried the expectations of the Qing Dynasty people to wash away their sins. However, the apocalyptic Qing ** took advantage of its premises to transform the otherwise peaceful temple into a prison, and the wails of criminals replaced the prayers of believers.
After the change of dynasty, Gongdelin still performs its original functions. In 1915, the Beiyang warlords remodeled it again, turning it into a high-walled compound that resembled a bunker.
Entering the gate, there is a wide square in the middle, and behind it are several tightly arranged buildings, dimly lit, faintly visible iron fences and torture instruments for interrogation, which looks eerie and terrifying.
In this cold prison, I don't know how many revolutionaries died here, including Li Dazhao, the founder of our party, who was brutally murdered here on April 28, 1927 by Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Feng army.
From the heavy land of Buddhism to the land of sin, the changes in Gongdelin can be described as earth-shaking.
*From the Internet: Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the "Beijing War Criminals Management Office" has resumed its original mission of educating and reforming criminals.
Most of the prisoners here were high-ranking enemy generals who were defeated by our army in the War of Liberation. Initially, the agency was under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Security, but as some high-ranking war criminals were granted amnesty, its strictness gradually diminished, and eventually it was taken over by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.
In order to help these war criminals rebuild their lives in New China, Gong Delin set up a special rescue station to help them find their lost family members, or arrange shelter for them, and was also responsible for finding jobs for them so that they could make ends meet.
This preferential policy is unique in history.
Inspired by our party, many war criminals have been reborn and devoted themselves to serving the people and building the country. In these lists of war criminals, we can see some people who have left their names in history, including the generals of the Kuomintang lineage who came from the Whampoa Military Academy and the famous generals of the warlord forces.
The most famous of these are the eight war criminals from the first phase of Whampoa. Du Yuming was the first of these eight war criminals, he was captured by our army in the Huaihai Campaign, and became the deputy commander-in-chief of Xuzhou's "Suppression Chief".
Du Yuming Ziguangting was born on November 28, 1904 in Mizhi, Shaanxi. He graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy and excelled in the Northern Expedition.
Later, he was appointed battalion commander, regiment commander, brigade commander under the 25th Division, deputy division commander of the 25th Division, and other positions. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he participated in the Songhu War of Resistance and the Battle of Guinan, and as the commander of the Fifth Army, he commanded troops to fight against Japan at Kunlun Pass, successfully inflicting heavy losses on the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army and achieving remarkable results.
On the battlefield of resistance against Japan, Du Yuming, with his outstanding military talents, was repeatedly transferred by the Kuomintang high-level to solve the unfavorable problems of the front-line war, and was known as the "firefighting captain".
However, in the Battle of Huaihai, Du Yuming was defeated and captured by the People's Liberation Army. During the period of Gongdelin's reform, he straightened his attitude, deeply realized the mistakes of standing on the opposite side of the people, and made great contributions to the country and the nation.
Therefore, it was decided to release him and make him a deputy to the Fifth National People's Congress and a member of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Huang Wei, the commander of the 12th Corps, a lieutenant general who was also captured by our army in the Huaihai Campaign, also realized his mistakes during the transformation of Gongdelin and made contributions to the country and the nation.
As a result, he was also released and served as a deputy to the Fifth National People's Congress and a member of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Huang Wei, known as "Commander Xiucai", is full of bookishness, and has been evaluated as only talking on paper. When he was studying in the first phase of Huangpu, he was a classmate of General Chen Geng, but because of his different beliefs, he chose a different path.
In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he performed prominently and participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Burma. However, after being imprisoned in the "Gongdelin", his attitude was bad and stubborn, and no matter how others persuaded him, he refused to admit his mistakes to the people and **.
Therefore, it was not until 1975 that his name appeared on the list of the last released war criminals. The third, Li Xianzhou, was the deputy commander of the Jinan Second Pacification District of the Xuzhou Pacification Office.
Li Xianzhou, a native of Shandong, graduated from the first phase of Huangpu and was promoted to company commander, regiment commander, and division commander with excellent performance. After the 77 Incident, he went to North China to resist the Japanese, and participated in the Battle of Nankou, the Battle of Xinkou, as well as the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Central Henan.
In the War of Liberation, he was captured by our army in the Battle of Laiwu in February 1947, becoming the first general from the first phase of Whampoa captured by our army.
Fan Hanjie, born on October 29, 1896 in Dapu, Guangdong, is an outstanding graduate of the first phase of Huangpu and a lieutenant general in the army. He not only held important positions in the Kuomintang army, such as chief of staff of the 19th Route Army and commander and deputy commander-in-chief of the headquarters of the Third Route Army, but also studied at the Army Military Academy and the German Army University.
However, in the Liaoshen Campaign, Fan Hanjie was captured by our soldiers after the Battle of Jinzhou and imprisoned in the "Gongdelin". However, Fan Hanjie had a good attitude towards the reform of "Gongdelin" and was one of the second batch of war criminals to be released.
After being released from prison, he became a clerk and served the country and the people. Fan Hanjie was one of the most recognizable of the eight war criminals.
Of the seven war criminals who were captured, except for Huang Wei, the remaining six were pardoned for their good confessions. After his release, Huang Wei realized his mistake under the persuasion of his old friends and devoted himself to the cause of building the people and the country.
However, there is one person who still stubbornly resisted after ** and was finally ordered to be shot by **, he is Deng Zichao.
Deng Zichao, a heroic man born in Shicheng, Jiangxi, was born in 1899. At the age of 24, he went to Guangzhou with a dream and was successfully admitted to the Army Martial Arts School of the Ministry of Political Affairs.
Fortunately, the school was merged into Whampoa Phase I a year later, and Deng Zichao also became a student of Whampoa Phase I. During his studies in Whampoa, he performed well and was promoted to platoon commander and company commander.
Subsequently, he made many meritorious achievements in the Central Plains War and was once again promoted to the commander of the 14th Regiment of Jiangxi Security. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Deng Zichao showed his outstanding military talents, led his troops to bravely resist the Japanese army around Lushan, successfully repelled dozens of attacks, and made important contributions to the cause of resistance against Japan.
However, during the War of Liberation, Deng Zichao chose to be the enemy of the people and firmly stood on the side of the opposition. Despite the remarkable talents shown by Deng Zichao during his military career, his choices were contrary to the people and became a thought-provoking piece of history.
During the period of the reform of Gongdelin, a general of the first phase of Whampoa showed an extremely tough attitude, and although he was repeatedly persuaded by the instructors, he remained stubborn, and even propagated reactionary remarks and organized prison escapes in the war criminal center, which had a serious impact on the reform work.
Finally, in 1951, after careful consideration, it was decided to execute him as a sign of resolute blow to reactionary ideas. He was the only one of the Whampoa generals to be executed in Gongdelin. ”
These men possessed remarkable military prowess and had made remarkable achievements on the battlefield with their impressive achievements. If they were able to recognize the needs of the people and serve them wholeheartedly, their paths in life could be very different.
However, after all, they were unable to understand the trend of history and the aspirations of the people, and failed to realize that the People's Liberation Army was invincible, so they were finally defeated by our army and became prisoners of the battlefield.
