year, the fire attack strategy broke through the deep mountain bandits
Four villages, hidden in a secret place in Ziyun County, Guizhou Province, are rarely known to the world. However, in the early days of liberation, during a world-famous battle against bandits, it became the origin of the story.
This battle became the inspiration for many works, including "Miaoling Wind and Thunder", "Unstoppable Torrent", "Kasai's Roar", "The End of the Little Dynasty", "High Miaoling" and "Fire Baby".
In these works, the prototype of the brutal bandit leader "Miao Wang" Xiao Luoshan is even more terrifying than the depiction in literary and artistic works.
Xiao Luo Shan, also known as Luo Faxiang, although he is "small" compared to Luo Wanchun of Da Luo Mountain, he was not young when he was born in 1880. The four big villages in Ziyun County are the four big villages of Menglin, Mengchong, Sunshing and Kasai in the monkey farm area, with thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the annual rent can collect more than 50 million catties of grain.
However, in 1929, Xiaoluoshan and Daluoshan competed for the right to rule the four major villages, and Xiaoluoshan set fire to 11 villages including Wengjiao and Guankou, resulting in the displacement of a large number of people.
Xiao Luoshan also turned more than 10,000 homeless people into his tenants in the name of "Zhao'an" bandits, and each ordinary person needed to pay him an ocean of "Zhao'an fees", and for this alone, Xiao Luoshan looted more than 10,000 pieces of Dayang's people's fat and people's ointment.
Compared with Da Luo Shan, Xiao Luo Shan's ruthlessness was unattainable, and he finally obtained the position of Bao Dong (equivalent to the head of the township) of the four major villages, and his sphere of influence covered a radius of 100 miles.
Two years later, Xiao Luoshan forced his people to grow tobacco on a large scale and boil opium paste, and the rent originally paid by grain was changed to silver dollars. His practice made him the "soil emperor" of the four large walled areas.
Xiao Luoshan is a bully who does a lot of evil, he has a large number of bodyguards and family members, and has excellent equipment. He also built a small arsenal and made *** himself
He named himself the "King of Miao" and built a luxurious "Miao King's Mansion" on the ridge of the steep slope of the high mountain, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xiao Luoshan is lustful as life, as long as the girl he fancies, he has to marry home and be a concubine.
Some of the girls did not want to obey, so he disfigured them and tied them to a tree to feed them to the wolves. He also rampaged in the four villages, and threatened to throw those who did not listen to him into the snake cave to feed the poisonous snakes.
Under his rule, at least 400 innocent people were thrown into the "dragon cave" by him to feed poisonous snakes.
After the liberation of Guizhou, Xiao Luoshan consciously became strong and strong, proclaimed himself the "commander-in-chief of the Qiannan Self-Defense Army", and sent his nephew Luo Zhengzhi to lead the bandits to capture Ziyun County. At that time, there was only one platoon of our army stationed in the county, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, so our army had to shrink its strength and temporarily abandon Ziyun County.
Xiao Luoshan occupied the county seat for half a year during this period, during which he and the bandits killed countless progressive people. Xiao Luoshan stipulated that the whole family of anyone who worked in the anti-bandit unit would be killed, and no chickens and dogs would be left in the villages where the soldiers of the anti-bandit unit had stayed.
The local people were tortured by Xiaoluoshan and fled from the four villages one after another, asking for the extermination of Xiaoluoshan. The Anshun Army Sub-district of our army set up a southern front bandit suppression headquarters and organized the strength of two main regiments to carry out a large-scale crackdown on bandits entrenched in Ziyun County.
After several large battles, the county seat of Ziyun was liberated for the second time. Xiao Luoshan bandits ** miserable, he and his third son Luo Zhengrong, and more than 200 remnants of the bandits hid in the mountains, although the bandit suppression force went into the mountains several times to search, but never found the trace of the bandits.
Yang Guangrong is one of the militia captains, and he has a blood feud with Xiao Luoshan. His parents were fed to wolves by Xiao Luoshan, his wife and children were thrown into the snake cave, and he himself was beaten and bruised, and he escaped from the snake cave with nine deaths, and went outside to recuperate for more than three months.
Yang Guangrong vowed to capture Xiao Luoshan alive and avenge himself and his family.
Yang Guangrong took the initiative to find the bandit suppression force and proposed a strategy to eliminate the bandits. He found that Xiao Luoshan and his bandits usually lit bonfires at night to keep warm, but by the time we arrived, the bandits had already fled.
In the deep mountains, there are bandits arranging eyeliner everywhere. Therefore, Yang Guangrong believed that the anti-bandit troops should change from passive to active, carry out a large-scale mountain burning operation, and burn all the weeds and dead firewood that the bandits relied on for heating, so that the bandits could not survive the cold winter nights, and either went down the mountain to surrender, or made a desperate gamble and fought a decisive battle with the anti-bandit troops.
After careful consideration, the head of the anti-bandit unit adopted Yang Guangrong's suggestion and burned the mountain in the area where the bandits in Xiaoluoshan often operated. At the same time, heavy troops were deployed in various mountain passes to prevent bandits from jumping over the wall and fleeing to other areas.
In the end, Yang Guangrong's fire attack tactics were very effective, only two days later, 4 bandits were frozen to death, and three days later, more than 200 bandits made a desperate attempt to break through, only to be wiped out by the waiting bandit troops in one fell swoop.
During an anti-bandit operation, Xiao Luoshan, his son Luo Zhengrong and his personal bodyguard Ban Xiaoen set up bait, successfully attracted the bandits' firepower and attention, and then took the opportunity to escape.
After the anti-bandit forces withdrew, their search and arrest tasks were handed over to the local militia. Late one night during the Spring Festival in 1951, Yang Guangrong was returning home after receiving military training, and he met Ban Xiaoen on the mountain beam, and he fought hard to ** Ban Xiaoen, and fired a shot at him, alarming the nearby militia.
Yang Guangrong sat wearily next to a boulder, his clothes cut by Ban Xiaoen with a scimitar. In the grass more than ten meters away from him, people found Ban Xiaoen's barge gun, the nose of which was wide open, and the magazine was full of bullets.
It is said that Ban Xiaoen's marksmanship is quite good, and many people in the local area have seen him use a barge gun to shoot incense and fire. If it weren't for Yang Guangrong who unexpectedly shot down Ban Xiaoen's shell gun, the consequences would be really unpredictable.
Soon after, Ban Xiaoen's body was found in the grass not far away, and the bullet passed through his back, eventually dying of blood loss. Although Yang Guangrong's shooting of Ban Xiaoen was somewhat of a fluke, his wit and bravery are undeniable.
Ban Xiaoen is Xiao Luoshan's right-hand man, and his death means that Xiao Luoshan's father and son may be nearby. Just when the militia was preparing for a large-scale search, the militia squad elder of Wengjiao Village secretly told Yang Guangrong that Xiao Luoshan's son Luo Zhengrong and Xiao Luoshan's third aunt were hiding in his family's granary.
Xiao Luoshan's third aunt was hiding on the top of the warehouse, and Luo Zhengrong was hiding in the grain pile below, both of them had guns in their hands, and threatened Ban Laosu's family, whoever dared to tell this matter would wait to eat the gun.
Hearing the news, Yang Guangrong immediately rushed to the township ** and reported the situation to the head of the township. Township Chief Tian personally led 20 key militiamen, selected 20 key militiamen, including Yang Guangrong, and organized them into two action groups, one group was in charge of Yang Guangrong, and the second group was in charge of a militia named Wei Changlu.
Wei Changlu's resourcefulness may not be as good as Yang Guangrong's, but when it comes to grappling, Yang Guangrong is slightly inferior. Township Chief Tian took 20 militiamen and ran to Wengjiao Village to surround the courtyard of Ban Laosu.
Ban Lao went home to check the situation and found nothing unusual. The sun had risen to the center of the sky, and Xiao Luoshan's third aunt and Luo Zhengrong were still asleep in the granary. After a brief exchange between Yang Guangrong and Wei Changlu, they decided to act immediately.
Yang Guangrong was in charge of capturing Luo Zhengrong, and Wei Changlu climbed onto the roof from the right side of the granary, and then suddenly attacked from the skylight in order to capture Xiao Luoshan's third aunt alive. Although it was well planned, everyone was still nervous.
Both of those guys had guns in their hands, and if there was a time lag between the two capture teams, it would be a surprise and unnecessary trouble. In the end, everyone agreed that Ban Lao would stand in the courtyard and give a code signal to start the action, so as to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Although Xiao Luoshan's third aunt had two delicate small pistols, she didn't expect the militiamen to be elusive and jump out of the skylight. Both of her guns were hung on the wall, and by the time she realized that something was wrong, Wei Changlu had already held them in her hands.
The other two militiamen rushed forward and tied up Xiao Luoshan's third aunt, Tai Wuhuada. At the same time, Yang Guangrong kicked open the door of the granary and rushed into the granary with a bayonet.
Luo Zhengrong was caught off guard, laughing and saying that it was a misunderstanding, and stretched out his hand under the pillow. Yang Guangrong kicked Luo Zhengrong on the heel, and then picked the pillow aside with a bayonet, revealing a loaded shell gun.
After Yang Guangrong grabbed the shell gun, Luo Zhengrong obediently tied his hands and captured it.
Xiaoluoshan hides alone in a stone cave on the side slope of Gaoping Village, a weed-covered arch-backed slope that runs from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, without revealing a foot of earth and rock.
Under the cover of weeds, there are hundreds of large and small caves for Xiaoluo Mountain. Although it is usually inaccessible, these caves where Xiaoluo Mountain is hiding are less than 2 kilometers away from the oblique angle of Tunshang Village, and he can clearly see the wind and grass of the "Miao Wangfu" in the cave.
A few days ago, Xiao Luoshan was terrified because the militia on duty on the wall of the "Miao Wangfu" might have discovered his whereabouts and fired two shots near the cave where he was hiding.
Then three or five more militiamen went around the mountain, and although they did not find Xiaoluoshan, he was sure that the militiamen would not rest on their laurels. Xiao Luoshan's biggest concern is that the militia will use fire again, and a few months ago the bandit suppression force set fire to the mountain, and hundreds of bandits were finally defeated.
If the militia set fire to the mountain again, Xiaoluoshan will not even have a chance to escape. Fortunately, what he feared most never happened. Next, Xiao Luoshan found that the food he had stored in the cave was not enough to eat.
There is a lot of food, but how to cook it is a big problem. Building a fire and cooking in full view of everyone is tantamount to giving a message to the militia. It's better to die than to starve.
In order to have a full meal, Xiao Luoshan decided to take the risk, in the dead of night, he climbed out of the cave, crept forward in the grass, dodged the militia set up at the intersection, and trembled to the lonely house in Yanjiao Village.
In order to have a full meal, when Xiao Luoshan knocked on the door, Wei Laowu, the former tenant of Xiao Luoshan, and his wife Luo Wangmei showed extra enthusiasm and affection. However, Wei Lao Wu is a militia member in the village, and he knows that there are people in Xiaoluoshan who have guns, and in order to protect the safety of the village, he plans to arrest Xiaoluoshan.
Although Luo Wangmei is a shrewd person, she thinks that Xiao Luoshan is in a difficult situation right now, so she suggests that his wish be fulfilled and then driven away. Wei Lao Wu followed his wife's advice, but Xiao Luoshan knocked on Wei Lao Wu's door with his pistol and the ocean.
In the house, Xiao Luoshan was embarrassed, but he threatened Wei Lao ** to do something, otherwise his aunt would be widowed at a young age. In the end, Wei Lao Wu was forced to agree to Xiao Luoshan's request and give him some wine and food and the ocean.
Dong Wa's lack of passes, but the rare silver dollar in his hand, attracted the attention of the militia, so he was brought to Yang Guangrong and Wei Changlu. Dongwa and Xiao Luoshan met, and he directly told Yang Guangrong and Wei Changlu: "Xiao Luoshan is at my house and is drinking with my father, you should go and arrest him." ”
Xiao Luoshan was hungry for a few days, and finally he was able to eat a full meal and drink a lot of wine, so not long after Dongwa left, he fell asleep groggy. It was almost noon, Xiao Luoshan heard a strange noise outside the door, and hurriedly looked for Wei Lao Wu and Luo Wangmei, but the couple and their youngest son were nowhere to be found.
Xiao Luoshan went to touch the gun again, and found that the two pistols that he had slept without leaving his body were gone. He was very frightened and shouted loudly: "Luo Lao Wu, Luo Lao Wu, where is my gun?" ”
Yang Guangrong and Wei Changlu, along with five or six militiamen, immediately rushed in, pressed Xiao Luoshan to the ground, and tied it firmly with hemp rope. Although Xiao Luoshan is over 70 years old, he cherishes life very much, and when he was first arrested, he said that he was willing to exchange all his family wealth for freedom.
According to his confession, people found 3,600 pounds of smoke from a very hidden cave nearby; In a rock footing, 24,000 pieces of silver ocean were dug up.
Xiao Luoshan said that these were all his assets, but it was revealed that the wealth he handed over was only one-tenth of his actual wealth. So the staff interrogated him again, and as a result, he confessed more than 4,000 catties of cigarettes, and countless amounts of grain, livestock, and other valuables.
But according to Xiao Luoshan's steward, he also hid a large amount of gold and silver treasures. On January 16, 1951, the public security department held a mass meeting in Wudazhai to expose Xiao Luoshan's crimes, at which Xiao Luoshan once again expressed that he was willing to give more money in exchange for a chance to live.
However, due to his crimes, the people attending the meeting were outraged, and the scene quickly got out of control, Xiao Luoshan was killed on the spot, and the countless gold and silver treasures he hid in the mountains became a mystery from then on.
Xiao Luoshan has been rampant in the Sisizhai area for 23 years, and his cruel behavior has led to the tragic death of more than 400 innocent people. Now, Xiao Luoshan has finally paid the price for his crime and has been punished, which can be said to be deserved.
