Whoever is bold and assassinates ***The guards died.
At 9:57 a.m. on January 8, 1976, the beloved *** passed away in Beijing at the age of 78. Deng Yingchao announced the will of *** to the leading comrades present in the ward: first, the ashes are not kept; the second is not to be special in the handling of aftermath affairs, and not to exceed anyone; The third is not to hold a memorial service and not to hold a farewell ceremony for the remains.
For these three requirements, the leading comrades did not dare to call the shots. **It is recommended to hold a memorial service, while *** said that the farewell ceremony and memorial service of the body should be held, and the ashes will be scattered after cremation in accordance with the will of ***.
On the night of his death, the body was transferred to the morgue of Beijing Hospital, where doctors will autopsy it, which is also a requirement of ***. When he was critically ill, he explained to the doctors, he said: "Now we don't have any good solutions for cancer, after I die, you have to thoroughly dissect it, study it well, and if you can make a little contribution to the country's medical development, I am still very happy." ”
** The autopsy showed that the cancer cells had completely spread in his body, including malignant tumors in organs such as liver, lungs and brain. Although he endured great pain in the last moments of his life, the farewell ceremony for his body was still held in Beijing Hospital.
What is touching is that a yellowed ** was found in the pocket of his underwear, on which was a photo of him with Zhang Yunyi and Kong Shiquan. The two-line inscription on the back – "Laoshan in distress, only four people remain" – brought tears to everyone's eyes.
It turned out that this ** was treasured by *** for 39 years, and it was unforgettable until he died. All this is related to the Xi'an incident. On December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to abandon the policy of "fighting outside the country must first secure the interior", carried out "military advice" against him in Lintong, and launched the "Xi'an Incident" that shocked China and the world.
This is the story of "Laoshan in distress", and it is also the reason why it will be unforgettable.
The understanding is as follows: * After the Zhang Yunyi and Kong Shiquan Incidents, the Communist Party of China decided to peacefully resolve the Xi'an Incident in the interests of the country. ** Cooperate with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng to force Chiang Kai-shek to agree to stop the civil war and establish an anti-Japanese national united front.
On April 24, 1937, the CCP decided to send *** to Nanjing to conduct negotiations on the reorganization of the Red Army. Due to the long distances and banditry, the guards had to be strengthened.
*The Security Bureau sent a platoon of guards to escort the escort, but the night before departure, ** wanted to talk to ***, causing *** to leave later than the other members of the delegation. The news was discovered by the enemy, and a plan to assassinate *** was carried out in secret.
At 9 a.m. on April 25, a group of 25 guards led by Zhang Yunyi, Kong Shiquan, Chen Youcai and Chen Guoqiao took a truck to Xi'an.
Sitting in the cab of the truck, while others are sitting in the compartment. When the vehicle departed from the south gate of Yan'an, ** kept waving out the window to say goodbye to the people who saw them off.
This journey is the most dangerous one for ***, and there is a huge danger waiting for him on the road ahead. For the safety of the delegation, the ** Security Bureau kept the route strictly secret and set up a secret post on the road.
However, no one expected that at the moment when the truck started, a man dressed as a beggar stared intently at the movement of the truck. The truck drove on the uneven dirt road, and the wheels kicked up puffs of dirt from time to time.
Chen Youcai was wearing a top hat and a tweed**, standing at the front of the carriage near the cab, searching the surroundings without leaving his eyes. The guard Liu Jiuzhou was also very excited, this was the first time in his life that he took a truck, looking at the rapidly reversing trees and ridges on the side of the road, he was both excited and a little worried, and unconsciously touched the gun pinned to his waist.
That day, the truck left Yan'an City, and after thirty miles, it continued to Ganquan County in the south. To reach Ganquan County, it is necessary to climb over Lao Mountain, which is the remnant of Huanglong Mountain, a famous mountain in northern Shaanxi, and has been a place of soldiers since ancient times.
About an hour later, the truck drove into the valley of the mountain in the territory of Laoshan. **Through the window, the truck was found to have passed through the canyon and came to a relatively open col.
** Very familiar with this place, so he told the driver Lao Li a story: In the autumn of 1935, Chiang Kai-shek sent troops to besiege us, and the two regiments of the 110th Division of the main force of the Northeast Army and the troops directly under the division were surrounded by our Red Army in the mountain col and successfully annihilated.
The gunshots suddenly rang out, and Chen Youcai shouted: "Danger, there are gunshots!" "Almost at the same moment, a dense stream of bullets came from the cliff on the left and from the front. Realizing that they were being ambushed by the enemy, he immediately ordered the driver, Lao Li, to speed up.
But unfortunately, the left front tire of the truck was hit by a bullet and almost overturned. The driver, Lao Li, could only brake urgently, but at this time, more bullets came, the window glass was shattered, and Lao Li was shot several times and died heroically.
***, who has faced life and death many times, immediately jumped out of the right door, leaned against the side of the truck, and then shouted: "Everyone get out of the car, spread out and fight back!" "Judging by the sound of gunfire, the enemy is about 100 people, and ours is smaller; From the direction from which the bullets flew, the enemy occupied favorable terrain, and they surrounded from the front and rear and from the left.
Zhang Yunyi also shouted: "Chief of Staff Chen, you protect Vice Chairman Zhou and transfer immediately; Deputy Chen Platoon, you organize the fighters to resist, and you must ensure the safety of Vice Chairman Zhou. ”
The guards immediately got out of the car, looked for the best firing position, and fired back. However, due to the fact that the other side had prepared and was equipped with heavy **, our firepower was soon unable to resist.
In this case, everyone is required to quickly break through and get out of the enemy's encirclement as soon as possible. Chen Youcai was hit by a bullet in the leg when he jumped out of the car.
During a breakout operation, ** and others were discovered by the enemy. In the face of the enemy's fierce attack, although Chen Youcai was injured in the leg, he still calmly commanded and bought valuable time for the evacuation of ***.
Due to Chen Youcai's calm command and officer-like dress, the enemy mistakenly thought he was *** and regarded him as an assassination target. Taking advantage of this opportunity, ** and Zhang Yunyi, Xiang Sanzhi and others successfully escaped and hid in the dense mountain forest.
After the battle, the enemy searched for the business card and ** signed by Chen Youcai, and mistakenly thought that the assassination was successful. They even frantically stabbed Chen Youcai's body with bayonets.
However, the reason why ** was able to survive was because he used his ingenuity at a critical moment. According to the recollection of Liu Jiuzhou, the trench dug by the bandits happened to trap the right front wheel of the truck at that time, making the position of *** the lowest place in the whole car.
At the same time, because he has been on the battlefield for a long time and is very resourceful, when the right front wheel of the truck is trapped, the right front door of the cab is naturally turned upside down, just to block the bullets flying in front of him.
**The group climbed over several hills and came to the west of Laoshan Mountain. Although it was far from the enemy ambush point, gunfire could still be heard. Stood there for a long time, without saying a word.
Zhang Yunyi said on the side: "It seems that this ambush may be just a group of bandits, and we may not chase them for the time being, but we can't stay here for a long time, and I still need to go back to Yan'an as soon as possible." ”
A fierce battle for the erection of wires shocked a communications squad of the Red Army guards stationed on a nearby hill, and the enemy also learned of its existence. They had tried to sabotage the power lines before, but they didn't know that there was a ** line under the cliff that led directly to the General Staff of the Red Army in Yan'an.
When the fighters of the communications squad heard the gunshots, they immediately reported the situation to the Yan'an General Staff. After receiving the telegram, Huang Lin, the head of the guard regiment, immediately ordered the guards to report to ***, and immediately gathered the soldiers who could ride horses, with only **ammunition and no luggage.
He was about to set off with dozens of soldiers, and at this time, ** also came and said solemnly: "No matter what, we must save Vice Chairman Zhou." Huang Lin set off immediately after receiving the order, and after marching for more than an hour, he arrived at Thirty Miles, and at this time, Zhang Yunyi and others also came here.
**Immediately order Huang Lin to go to the aid and be sure to rescue the surrounded soldiers. However, by the time Huang Lin arrived at the scene of the battle, the enemy had already fled, and the only thing left at the scene was the damaged truck and the remains of the soldiers.
After counting, 11 of our soldiers died heroically, except for Zhang Yunyi, Kong Shiquan, and Liu Jiuzhou, the rest of the survivors were injured to varying degrees.
Chen Youcai was shot several times in his body, plus more than 20 knives, he died for ***, and he can never be forgotten. The assassination of Lao Shan did not stop the pace of ***'s progress, and he rushed to Xi'an again the next day.
This assassination shocked Yan'an and made *** very angry. In order to find out the truth, Xie Ziqun, known as "Yan'an Holmes", accepted the task.
Xie Ziqun joined the Red Army at the age of 14, and in addition to participating in fierce battles, he was also engaged in defense, reconnaissance, and detection many times, and brilliantly fulfilled the tasks assigned by his superiors.
He has solved many cases, especially for solving unsolved and mysterious cases, and is deeply trusted.
Xie Ziqun faced difficulties, did not give up, gave full play to the strength of the masses, and finally found the key clues and successfully solved the case. He found the answer among the masses, gained trust and found valuable clues through propaganda and helping the local people.
Although he encountered difficulties in the course of the investigation, Xie Ziqun did not lose heart, but finally succeeded by actively mobilizing local cadres and helping the masses.
The problem of Yan'an Pagoda Mountain has reappeared, and the bandits seem to be able to accurately predict the travel time of the group. Did the bandits have an inside line in Yan'an City? As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!
For this reason, Xie Ziqun decided to send someone to infiltrate the bandits. Soon, they got the shocking news: the bandit Li Qingwu had installed a spy named Feng Changdou at the south gate of Yan'an.
Although Feng Changdou was sophisticated and cunning, he still couldn't resist the interrogation pressure of Xie Ziqun, and finally confessed all the details of the Laoshan incident. Xie Ziqun took advantage of the victory to pursue and quickly investigated this major case.
It turned out that before the head of the Communist Party of China moved to Yan'an, there was a bandit in Huanglongshan in the south of Yan'an, mainly composed of elders. At one point, the bandits, numbering 200 people, were entrenched in the mountains, running amok and robbing passing merchants and gentry, and had close ties with the Kuomintang militias.
After the CCP entered Yan'an, the Red Army and local militia cleared it, but the bandits still did not give up, they recruited local ruffians and hooligans, and let them go to Yan'an to do reconnaissance, spy on the intelligence of the Red Army, and plan actions.
In early April 1937, the bandits sent bandits to Yan'an to spy on intelligence, and established contact with Feng Changdou, a spy arranged by Li Qingwu. After several days of secret spying, Feng Changdou learned that our party would send *** and other representatives to Xi'an on April 25.
Li Qingwu believes that this is an excellent opportunity, if the assassination can bring a heavy blow to the CCP on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also ask for credit from the Kuomintang militia.
In a specific historical context, Li Qingwu conspired with Ji Yanshou and other bandit leaders to assassinate the bandits in order to prevent the leakage of information and the cowardice of the bandits. They told their men that they were only going to ambush passing vehicles near Laoshan for the purpose of looting property.
However, things did not go according to plan, and Xie Ziqun decided to completely eliminate this group of bandits. After obtaining the consent of the superiors, the Red Army General Staff quickly deployed troops, successfully exterminated the bandits, and shot all the most heinous bandit leaders such as Li Qingwu and Ji Yanshou.
On the afternoon of April 27, 1937, the Communist Party of China held a grand memorial service for Chen Youcai and other 11 martyrs in Yan'an.
** Spoke highly of Chen Youcai and other martyrs, praised them for their composure and bravery, and for being communist fighters who dared to sacrifice their lives for the revolution. After the memorial service, the bodies of Chen Youcai and other martyrs were buried on the mountainside of Yan'an Pagoda.
For Chen Youcai and other martyrs, ** has always been remembered. In June 1973, ***, who was suffering from cancer, accompanied the Vietnamese Prime Minister to Yan'an by plane.
As soon as he got off the plane, he said to the Yan'an Prefectural Committee and the masses who came to greet him: "I'm back home again." * After accompanying the foreign guests on the tour, he told the comrades of the prefectural party committee that he was going to visit Chen Youcai's grave, and said to them: "I have encountered many dangers in my life, but the most dangerous is this time. ”
The comrades of the prefectural party committee were very surprised, and they still remembered the martyr Chen Youcai.
** Deeply regretted not being able to see Yan'an again, and the cemetery of Chen Youcai and other martyrs was destroyed in 1947 when Hu Zongnan attacked Yan'an. Tears welled up after hearing the news.
When parting, he once again told the comrades of the local committee: "Comrade Chen Youcai died bravely, and the martyrs should be invited into the cemetery and a monument should be erected for them." Until he died, he still carried a photo with the survivors of the Laoshan incident, which made people cry.
