**, your son is the head of the enemy regiment?
Xiong Changsu's path to joining the party was blocked because of her brother's identity, but in the end, with the help of ***, she was recognized by the party organization. Not only did it bring valuable proof, but it also cleared the way for her.
Although Xiong Jinyu is not well-known, she has a very high status in the party and is respected as "Boss Xiong". In his early years, he was friends with revolutionary veterans such as ***, and later engaged in secret work under *** for a long time, making special contributions to the revolution.
The relationship between Xiong Jinyu and his son has always been a mystery, but his loyalty and dedication have undoubtedly won him trust and respect.
Xiong Jinyu, his wife and daughter are responsible for the management of ** funds and are known as "Boss Xiong". Xiong Jinyu was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and when she was young, she studied in the Lijiang School Normal Crash Course founded by Xu Teli, one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an", and was influenced by Xu Teli to come into contact with progressive ideas.
After graduating, he went to teach at the private Chuyi Primary School in Changsha City, and met He Shuheng, Xie Jueya, ** and others, and joined the progressive group "Xinmin Society" established by *** and others.
They often work together to save the country and save the people, and Xiong Jinyu also actively participates in the anti-Japanese patriotic activities launched by He Shuheng and others. Because he is old-fashioned, financially minded, and good at making friends, Xiong Jinyu was elected by everyone to be in charge of fundraising.
In the summer of 1921, He Shuheng went to Shanghai to participate in the "First National Congress", which was raised by Xiong Jinyu. At that time, the party had just been established, lacked funds, and it was difficult to promote various tasks, so Xiong Jinyu took out 20,000 oceans from the surplus of business as funds for the party's activities.
In the darkest moment of the revolution, Xiong Jinyu was not frightened by the bloodshed, and resolutely rushed to Wuhan to join the Communist Party. Soon, the Hubei Provincial Party Committee was also sabotaged by the enemy, and Xiong Jinyu came to Shanghai to engage in secret work under the leadership of ***.
He gave full play to his economic expertise, rented the second floor of a house at the intersection of Yunnan Road, Shanghai as a businessman, hung up the signboard of "Fuxing Firm", and dealt in gauze. The purpose of opening a business is to raise funds for the organization, and to serve as a secret connection location.
**, Li Weihan, ** and others have all gone to the firm for a meeting. However, the meticulous *** went to the business a few times and found the problem. First, Xiong Jinyu not only has to run a business, but also comrades who come to meetings from other places also need him to take care of them.
In addition, secret letters sent by traffic officers in normal times must also be treated with a special potion before they can be read. Xiong Jinyu couldn't be busy alone. Second, Xiong Jinyu was in her 40s at the time, still single, with no children and no daughters around her, which was easy to attract the attention of people around her.
Zhu Duanshou, a native of Changsha, Hunan, graduated from Changsha Women's Normal School and joined the Communist Party at the age of 17. ** A handwritten certificate that Zhu Duanshou would work for the Hankow Freemasons, and Xiong Jinyu was transferred to assist her.
Xiong Jinyu is 22 years older than Zhu Duanshou and has a wife and children, but this has not stopped the development of their relationship. Xiong Jin.
Xiong Jinyu and his wife took a group photo, and the father and son were close at hand, but they couldn't meet each other. But after his work resumed, he took over "Xinhua**", which was also the only newspaper publicly published by the CCP in the Kuomintang region.
On the surface, the people agreed to the publication of the newspaper, but behind the scenes, various restrictions were imposed. For example, restricting circulation, and even sending spies to smash the sales department and arrest newsboys.
But these restrictions were resolved by Xiong Jinyu one by one. The most important thing in running a newspaper is paper. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shanghai and other big cities fell, and some paper-producing areas in Sichuan were forcibly monopolized by the Kuomintang, and paper was very difficult.
As a result, Xiong Jinyu went to Liangshan, Dazhu and other paper-producing areas many times to find paper sources. He learned that a local paper merchant named Wang Chisen was fond of old poetry and calligraphy, and that he had a sense of justice.
So, Xiong Jinyu managed to become friends with him. Wang Chisen very much agrees with the anti-Japanese proposition of "Xinhua **", and also admires Xiong Jinling's personality. After Xiong Jinyu raised the difficult question of paper, he enthusiastically expressed his willingness to help purchase paper.
Later, it was funded by Xiong Jinyu to help Wang Chisen establish the East Sichuan Paper Mill. This not only solves the problem of using paper in "Xinhua**", but even the Kuomintang's "**" has also come to borrow paper.
Running a newspaper requires a certain amount of capital turnover. After the Southern Anhui Incident, the people stopped the supply of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and "Xinhua**" fell into a crisis of "cooking out".
Xiong Jinyu adopted the method of opening up sources and reducing expenditure, on the one hand, reducing office expenses, mobilizing employees to grow vegetables and raise pigs in their spare time, and solved part of the ration problem. On the other hand, it is to seek the support of entrepreneurs.
At that time, the business department of "Xinhua**" was located on the first floor of Chongqing National Defense Power Alcohol Factory, so Xiong Jinyu was familiar with Ren Zongde, the director of the factory. Because they all agreed with the CCP's idea of actively resisting Japan, they became close friends with Xiong Jinyu.
During the Anti-Japanese War, China's coastal areas were blockaded by the Japanese army, and fuel was very scarce, and alcohol was mostly used instead of gasoline, so it was profitable to open an alcohol factory. Ren Zongde provided a large amount of working capital for "Xinhua**", and never made IOUs, nor did he calculate the loss of fiat currency depreciation.
Another important supporter of Xiong Jinyu is Chu Xianghui, a native of Hunan, who is the president of the Chongqing branch of the Bank of Hunan and also the director of the second oil refinery. Xiong Jinyu relied on his personal relationship with him to send some underground parties to the factory to help him manage the affairs of the factory.
The oil refinery is not only profitable, but also rated as a first-class plant by the national **. Chu Xianghui often donated money to the CCP through various means. The ink, kerosene, and gasoline used by Xinhua during its stay in Chongqing were all supplied by his refinery and never stopped.
With the help of these friends outside the party, "Xinhua**" is getting better and better, and the number of subscribers once reached 50,000 copies. It was on par with the most famous "Ta Kung Pao" at that time, and overwhelmed the "Sweeping Daily" and "**" run by the Kuomintang
This also made Yan'an's anti-Japanese ideas continue to be transmitted to the people of the whole country.
Xiong Jinyu, general manager of Xinhua**, deals with money all the year round, but he is as honest as water and has a poor life. Once, the half-year-old daughter had a sudden pneumonia and had a high fever and convulsions for a long time, and the doctor asked 10 yuan for diagnosis and treatment, but Xiong Jinyu couldn't come up with the money, and refused to embezzle the organization's funds without authorization, so she could only watch his wife go home with her daughter and find another way.
Unfortunately, the child died on the way home. ** He once commented on Xiong Jinyu and his wife as "the most trustworthy" people: first, although he suffered all kinds of torture in the Kuomintang prison, he always remained loyal to the organization and showed firm faith.
Second, when his family was in danger, he always put the interests of the organization first and was trustworthy. At the beginning of 1940, ** urgently summoned Xiong Jinyu and his wife to inquire about the situation of their son Xiong Xiaosan.
It turned out that according to Li Kenong's intelligence, the Kuomintang sent a new regiment to be stationed in Wangjia Garden in Hutouyan, Chongqing, to monitor the Xinhua ** Agency, and the regiment commander Xiong Xiaosan was suspected of being Xiong Jinling's son.
Xiong Jinyu's wife Zhu Duanshou was taken aback when she heard this: "With the same name and surname, even the place of origin is the same, it must be the boss's son." "* Ask Xiong Jinyu and his wife to do Xiong Xiaosan's work in order to divide and disintegrate the enemy.
After further investigation, this ** head Xiong Xiaosan is indeed Xiong Jinyu's son, and he is also good friends with Zhu Duanshou. Xiong Xiaosan studied at Changsha No. 1 Normal School and is also a hot-blooded young man.
At the time of the event, Changsha set off an unprecedented wave of anti-imperialist anger, and Xiong Xiaosan actively participated in the propaganda team to carry out anti-imperialist propaganda. Zhu Duanshou, who studied at Changsha Women's Normal School, and Xiong Xiao were in a group, and they often worked together and had a close relationship.
In 1926, Xiong Xiaosan was admitted to the sixth cavalry section of the Whampoa Military Academy from Rong. "After the April 12 coup", the father and son of the Xiong family chose different camps, and since then they have been strangers and have never been in touch again.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Xiong Xiaosan participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Wuhan, the Battle of Kunlun Pass, and the expedition to Burma. In the Battle of Kunlun Pass in 1939, Xiong Xiaosan, who served as the commander of the regiment, led the main force of the regiment as a raid team to engage in white-knuckle combat with the Japanese army, purging the remnants of the enemy, and performed brilliantly.
After winning the Battle of Kunlun Pass, Xiong Xiaosan was ordered to lead his troops to Chongqing to rest and recuperate, and stationed on Hutou Rock, and the Eagle Beak Rock under Hutou Rock is the location of "Xinhua **" where his father Xiong Jinyu is the general manager.
When he learned that his father was in Chongqing, Xiong Xiaosan also felt in a dilemma. On the one hand, due to the difference in the political positions of the father and son, it is impossible to communicate publicly. Xiong Xiaosan said to outsiders that his father died at an early age, and he only had an uncle who had not seen him for more than ten years.
On the other hand, after all, blood is thicker than water, and Xiong Xiaosan does not dare to forget the grace of nurturing. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiong Xiaosan's regiment killed pigs, and he sent people to send more than 10 pounds of pork to his father.
Zhu Duanshou thought that this was a good opportunity and decided to visit Xiong Xiaosan in person. After she went out, she went around a few times, shook off the spies and followed her to Xiong Xiaosan's regiment headquarters.
When the old friends met, Xiong smiled enthusiastically, and he also joked: "I should call you Mom!" It made everyone laugh. This time, the two talked for more than three hours.
Before leaving, Xiong Xiaosan sent someone to deliver a piece of bacon and a few live crucian carp to his father. Since then, almost every month, Zhu Duanshou has to go to Xiong Xiaosan's house two or three times to publicize to him the CCP's anti-Japanese war proposition and the achievements of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.
Xiong Xiaosan will also intentionally or unintentionally reveal some ** internal secrets, and also give Xiong Jin.
Xiong Xiaosan had three adventures on the Huaihai battlefield, and became the commander of the Fifth Army after hardships. With the outbreak of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang seized the "Xinhua **" Xiong Jinyu transferred to the Jinsui Liberated Area to serve, and Xiong Xiaosan continued to be promoted in the battle until he served as the commander of the Fifth Army in the Huaihai Battle in 1948.
The Fifth Army, the earliest mechanized unit of the Kuomintang, was well-equipped and one of the five ace armies. Famous generals of the Anti-Japanese War, such as Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan, all served in the army. Xiong Xiaosan followed Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan into the Huaihai battlefield, and then ushered in the end of the Fifth Army.
According to Xiong Changsu's recollection, ** once asked Xiong Jinyu to write a letter to Xiong Xiaosan to persuade him to lead his troops to revolt. However, Xiong Xiaosan did not respond, but his performance on the battlefield was intriguing.
According to Li Hanping's recollections, except for two divisions of the Fifth Army, which fought fiercely after being surrounded by the PLA in the early stage, most of the time as a reserve force did not fight the PLA.
At the end of the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming's group was trapped in Chenguanzhuang, and the people were panicked, some advocated surrender, and some advocated breaking through. According to Sun Jizhou's recollection, once Qiu Qingquan held a meeting to discuss the way out, Xiong Xiaosan took the initiative to stand up and express his willingness to go to the front line.
Although this move was extremely risky, Xiong Xiaosan was resolute, even risking that he might be punished by Lao Jiang, showing his bravery and determination.
On the battlefield, the ** defense line completely collapsed, and Du Yuming and Qiu Qingquan led the corps headquarters to the headquarters of the Fifth Army. However, this made Xiong Xiaosan dissatisfied, and he complained in front of everyone: "I have been fighting here for more than 40 days and have never been hit by shells, but as soon as you came, the shells also came, obviously because of the large number of people and the target was exposed." ”
With the approach of the People's Liberation Army, in the early morning of January 10, 1949, Du Yuming finally ordered a breakthrough, but Xiong Xiaosan was nowhere to be found at this time. Later it became known that he had escaped from the encirclement alone.
In the Battle of Huaihai, 124 of the top generals were captured, 22 surrendered, 8 rebelled, and only some managed to escape. Xiong Xiaosan's escape seems a little bizarre.
Regarding his escape, Wang Renjie, then the chief of the general affairs section of the lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Army Headquarters, has a more detailed description: Xiong Xiaosan mixed in the ranks of soldiers, hid in the homes of ordinary people, exchanged a gold ring for a torn cotton jacket, disguised himself as a mute beggar, and fled back to Nanjing among the refugees with a cigarette stick bag in his hand.
But Wang Renjie was not an eyewitness, so his authenticity is doubtful. Although Xiong Xiaosan successfully broke through the siege, he still served as the commander of the Fifth Army and was stationed in northern Fujian to rebuild the army. Soon, someone reported that his father was a famous CCP ** and escaped in the Huaihai Campaign.
As a result, Xiong Xiaosan was dismissed from his post and sent to Taiwan for trial. Although he was not punished, he was never reused. He was in his 40s and in the prime of life, and had the qualifications of an ace military commander, but he was demoted to the commissioner of the Taoyuan Shimen Reservoir Management Authority, and retired in 1971.
After the liberation of the Shimen Reservoir in Taoyuan, Xiong Jinyu resigned from many positions due to age and health, and only served as the vice president of the Red Cross Society of China. In 1973, he died of illness, and before his death, he personally visited the hospital.
In the 80s of the last century, ** began to thaw, Xiong Xiaosan also returned to the mainland, and died of illness in Beijing in September 1987.
