The chief of police assassinated Commander Nino and found out that it was his own brother
On the eve of the liberation of Guiyang, the Second Field Army shouldered the heavy task of liberating the southwest and pursuing the remnants of the Kuomintang, and was stationed in Huangxian on the border of Hunan and Guizhou. At this moment, Yang Yong, the commander of the Fifth Corps of Erye, had just returned to his residence when he was threatened by a gunman.
A deep voice rang out in Yang Yong's ears, and he was startled and realized that he was facing an assassin threat. Although he had been through countless battles, he was not deterred by this.
He calmly asked, "Who are you?" What's the point? The barrel of the gun was pressed against his head again, and the assassin said coldly, "It doesn't matter who I am, my mission is to take your life." ”
Yang Yong immediately retorted: "You also need a reason to kill, right?" Can I die a clear death? As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin's pistol was released, and the surroundings fell silent.
Yang Yong felt strange and slowly turned his head, only to see the assassin behind him staring at him with wide eyes, his face full of shock. "Shijun? How could it be you? The Assassin asked, looking surprised.
Why did a cousin kill his brother? On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was founded, which marked the basic victory of the new democratic revolution.
However, in the southwest, a large number of remnants of the Kuomintang reactionaries still colluded with the bandits in the mountains and resisted stubbornly, putting great pressure on the people in the southwest.
In order to achieve a complete victory of the revolution, on October 10, at the meeting of the Military Commission, it was decided to let the army lead the army to the south to fight together with the Erye Army that had reached the southwest, and to attack from both sides to completely eliminate the remnants of the Kuomintang in the southwest.
At the same time, the two leaders also came to Erye to conduct the command.
Before marching to the southwest, the Kuomintang had controlled a large area in the southwest, and there were still a large number of defeated Kuomintang remnants and temporarily captured strong men, with a total strength of 900,000.
Since the Kuomintang believed that our army would enter Sichuan from the north, it deployed a large number of troops in the Qinling Mountains.
V. The 7th and 18th Corps were stationed here to prevent our army from attacking northward.
However, our army adopted a "big detour strategy" and entered Sichuan from southern Shaanxi only to confuse the enemy, and the real main force of attack was actually Erye at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou.
In order to cover Erye's actions, our army's 18th Corps in southern Shaanxi will make a feint in wartime, so as to attract the attention of Hu Zongnan's group, prevent them from moving a single soldier to the south, and create an opportunity for Erye's tactical detour.
In the confrontation between Hu Zongnan and Erye, they faced the 19th Corps of He Shaozhou's army, which was the weakest place in the entire southwest region. However, Erye has already deployed the first in Xiangxi.
Third, the strength of the Fifth and Second Corps thus occupied an absolute superiority in troops.
At this time, the commander of the Fifth Corps of Erye was Yang Yong, and their task was to rush to Guiyang from Huang County in western Hunan along the Hunan-Guizhou Highway to prevent the remnants of the Kuomintang from escaping to Yunnan, and then go north to liberate Chongqing and defeat the Kuomintang forces in eastern Sichuan.
Once Chongqing is liberated, the situation in the southwest region can be basically determined, and then it is only necessary to cooperate with the first field troops stationed in southern Shaanxi, and the two armies will encircle and march to Chengdu.
After the liberation of Chengdu, the southwest can be basically liberated.
After the meeting of Liu Deng, **, and other leaders of the Second and Fourth Fields, the policy of joint operations was established, and the Fifth Corps and the motorized units of the 38th Army were ordered to march in coordination to quickly liberate Huangxian and Zhijiang, and then march into Guizhou as originally planned.
However, since the motorized units of the 38th Army had not yet arrived, the Fifth Corps commanded by Yang Yong was temporarily stationed in Huang County, Xiangxi, and waited. Late that night, Yang Yong and political commissar Su Zhenhua returned to their rooms after discussing the march matters.
Since he was living in the camp and it was getting late, Yang Yong asked the guards to go back to rest first while he returned to his accommodation alone.
Yang Yong worked hard all day, tired to the extreme, and his mind became dull and unguarded. He opened the door and was about to rest. However, when he lit the oil lamp, a cold object pressed against the back of his head, followed by a deep voice: "Don't move!
I'll shoot as soon as I move! Yang Yong couldn't help but smile after hearing this, he joined the army at the age of fifteen and was promoted all the way to the position of commander, what kind of danger has he never encountered? He decided to stabilize the other party first, then slowly talk to him and catch him when the other person let his guard down.
Yang Yong was confronted by the Assassins in the PLA barracks, and despite the threat of gunfire, Yang Yong remained calm and convinced. He told the Assassins that if he confessed, the Communists would be lenient.
However, the Assassins took a tough stance, claiming that their lives could only continue if they killed Yang Yong. Yang Yong asked the Assassin to explain the reason, but the Assassin remained silent, only emphasizing that one of them must die, and today it is either you or I will die.
When Yang Yong heard this, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party, so he persuaded the other party to let go: Our Communist Party is the people's party, as long as you are willing to surrender, we promise not to hurt you.
Can you tell me which side you belong to? At least let me die clearly. The Assassin was silent for a moment, then lowered his gun. Yang Yong felt strange, turned his head to look, and found a man in black staring at him, holding a loaded pistol in his hand.
Before Yang Yong could speak, the assassin exclaimed, "Shijun, is that you?" ”
Yang Yong immediately recognized who the person in front of him was, his expression was surprised, and he immediately grabbed the assassin's hand. "Brother Shiming, why are you here? He asked. The person who pointed at his head just now was his cousin Yang Shiming in his hometown.
Don't ask me why I'm here, tell me who you are first? What is your relationship with Yang Yong? Yang Shiming looked at Yang Yong with a frown. Yang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Brother, I am Yang Yong!" ”
Yang Shiming was a little puzzled, but under Yang Yong's explanation, he understood what was going on. It turned out that Yang Yong's original name was Yang Shijun, and in order to prevent his family from being retaliated against, he changed his name to Yang Yong.
Under Yang Yong's questioning, Yang Shiming also explained in detail why he came to assassinate the ** commander.
Yang Shiming, a former policeman in the Kuomintang-ruled area, later before the arrival of the PLA, he decided to take a risk, planning to sneak into the PLA barracks at night and kill the ** commander.
Although he was bullied in the police force, he eventually became the chief of the Akira County Police Department.
Yang Yong tried to create chaos by assassinating ** senior officials so that they could continue to run rampant in Huang County. Even if the Communists came back to attack, they would have enough time to make a fortune and flee.
However, Yang Shiming's request was rejected by Yang Yong, and Yang Shiming angrily asked him if he wanted to kill even his own brother.
Yang Yong smiled: "Brother Shiming, it's not that I won't let you go, but that you want to go after you leave?" The entire southwest is about to be liberated, and the Kuomintang is already at the end of its power, after the liberation of the whole of China, will you still go to foreign countries? ”
Yang Shiming was stunned for a moment, and then said frankly: "If we can't go to a foreign country, then let's go up the mountain and become bandits!" Yang Yong looked at the Kuomintang policemen behind Yang Shiming and said to him: "Look at your brothers, their homes should all be local, right?"
You ask them if they'd like to go with you to the mountains and become a bandit? If they do, ask their family if they will? You are a policeman, you know the fate of the bandits, are you going to push them into the fire pit? ”
He recalled that when he was passing by his hometown before, his aunt had asked him if he knew anything about Yang Shiming, and he could go back and tell his aunt that her son was going to be a bandit?
Yang Yong held Yang Shiming's hand and said with a smile: "*The latest instructions, any Kuomintang army, spies, and township security personnel who let go of ** and have the will to reform themselves will be blamed for the past."
You can choose to accept the incorporation, or you can choose to go home, and as long as you don't do anything bad, we'll be lenient. But we have an army, will you turn your face and deny people? ”
Yang Shiming's face was full of suspicion. Yang Yong replied with a smile: "You may not believe in our Communist Party, but will you trust your brother?" We have already incorporated more than 100,000 ** troops, how can we target a few of you security regiments and police alone? ”
After listening to Yang Yong's words, Yang Shiming breathed a sigh of relief and decided to surrender. Behind him, the other Kuomintang policemen were also relieved to hear that they could continue to be policemen.
Yang Yong met with the militia representatives and was about to send his cousin Yang Shiming on the expedition. He patted Yang Shiming on the shoulder and said affirmatively: "Shiming, I knew that you would have a great achievement.
Although you have strayed from the right path, now you are finally back on the right path. Next, you can let it go. However, Yang Shiming suddenly proposed to resign from the post of police chief, expressing his willingness to join the People's Liberation Army and march into Guizhou together.
Why did he make such a decision? In order to liberate the southwest, Yang Shiming said frankly: "I feel that I am incompetent as the police chief, which has brought some trouble to the villagers.
Now, I want to be a PLA soldier even more. ”
This is where you should be, Director Yang. You have worked in the local area for many years and know the local situation. Now that you've reformed yourself, there's no one better suited here.
The mistakes you made here should be corrected here. You have to make meritorious deeds and redeem yourself here. "Yang Yong told the other policemen: "If you choose to turn your ways, you can't do bad things anymore."
If someone continues to be obsessed, they must accept the punishment of the law. You have to stay here to maintain order and follow the instructions of the PLA. As long as you have made meritorious contributions, even if you have atoned for your sins, the people** will give you appropriate rewards. ”
After Yang Yong's overnight education, everyone realized their mistakes and promised that they would be new people and strive to make meritorious contributions. A few days later, the motorized units of the 38th Army arrived, marched together with the Fifth Corps, and liberated Huangxian and Zhijiang.
The liberation of Huang County was largely due to the cooperation of Yang Shiming's police force, which avoided a large number of **.
In the battle of the Hunan and Guizhou Highway, Yang Shiming made great contributions. The liberation of Huang County is inseparable from his contributions. Subsequently, the Fifth Corps of Erye went all the way forward and pointed straight to Guiyang.
On November 4, the vanguard of the 16th Army of the Fifth Corps of the Second Field successfully occupied Tianzhu, while the 89th, 49th, and 8th armies of the Kuomintang had no fighting spirit and retreated one after another.
In order to prevent the enemy from regrouping, the 3rd Corps immediately pursued the Kuomintang troops retreating westward. These warriors from the north came to the Xiangqianchuan region for the first time, where the terrain is complex, deep ravines and rivers crisscross and often need to cross cliffs, and it is easy to get lost.
Once, a messenger went to another unit three miles away to deliver a message, but it was not delivered for a day or a night, and he even thought that he had encountered a "ghost hitting the wall".
* Originated from the network Guizhou has complex terrain and changeable climate, but the soldiers of the Third Corps are not afraid of difficulties and have fought hard battles against the Kuomintang army. They climbed over dangerous peaks, waded through rapids, and finally reached the county seat of Pengshui on November 16, crushing the Kuomintang army and liberating Pengshui.
At the same time, the Fifth Corps led by Yang Yong also overcame many difficulties and came to Guiyang. The soldiers traveled hundreds of miles a day in muddy water, and the 19th Corps of the Kuomintang fled directly after seeing it, liberating Guiyang in only nine days, cutting off the retreat route of the Kuomintang troops to Yunnan, and encircling the remnants of the Kuomintang in the trenches of the southwest.
Then, Yang Yong led the Fifth Corps to detour north according to the predetermined plan and capture Chongqing. On November 14, the day before the liberation of Guiyang, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo flew to Chongqing to direct the operation in the southwest, which was already in chaos.
The Kuomintang members who fled from Nanjing, Guangzhou, and other places panicked and hurriedly packed their luggage and prepared to flee again, and the vehicles on the streets were congested, making it difficult to move an inch. At the same time, the Kuomintang troops in the Hunan and Guizhou regions revolted or surrendered one after another, and the defeat of the Kuomintang in the southwest was inevitable.
Seeing that the general trend had turned, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order to ** imprison the Communists in Chongqing and blow up all the arsenals, airports and other important facilities. On November 29, our army had crossed the Yangtze River and occupied Nanquan on the outskirts of Chongqing, while the Kuomintang ** agencies had already fled the day before.
However, it was not until the People's Liberation Army was less than ten kilometers away from the airport that Chiang Kai-shek and his son fled to Chengdu in a hurry. However, their escape was not so smooth.
In Chengdu, they were frightened away by the rebellious subordinates and fled to Taipei again. It was also Chiang Kai-shek's last time on the mainland, and he never returned here until his death.
Yang Yong led the Fifth Corps and the Third Corps to march together, forcibly crossed the Minjiang River, liberated Leshan, Qingshen, Meishan and other places, and besieged the remnants of the Kuomintang in the Chengdu area. On December 23, Kuomintang commander Hu Zongnan abandoned more than 100,000 troops and fled from Chengdu to Hainan by plane.
The commander fled, and the remaining troops naturally had no intention of fighting, so they chose to revolt or surrender. On December 30, Chengdu was peacefully liberated, marking a complete victory in the southwest.
After that, Yang Yong was appointed commander of the Guizhou Military Region and chairman of the provincial people. In 1955, Yang Yong was awarded the rank of general, and was known as the "Three Yangs" of New China along with Yang Chengwu and Yang Dezhi.
His cousin, after working in Huang County for several years, was also transferred to Guizhou because of his outstanding performance.
The experiences of General Yang Yong's cousins, Yang Chengwu and Yang Dezhi, reveal to us a truth: no matter what mistakes have been made, as long as you have the courage to turn over a new leaf, you can get leniency.
And Yang Shiming's later success also proves that only by taking the right path can we achieve remarkable achievements in our careers and truly realize our self-worth. And the older generation of revolutionaries like Yang Yong, their contributions to the motherland will never be erased by time, and their achievements will be recorded in glorious history and forever remembered by future generations!
