In November 1949, after the release of Zun**, bandits in the Loushan area of northern Guizhou were serious. Among them, Wang Xianhua's bandit department is a big disaster, there are thousands of them, they call themselves "Qianbei **rescue**" entrenched in the Dalou Mountains at the junction of Zun, Sui, and Tong counties, robbing people's property everywhere, attacking the people of counties, districts, and townships, and being arrogant.
After Xu Changzhao's fierce pursuit and fierce beating, Wang Xianhua was wounded in the leg, the bandits were seriously injured, and his vitality was greatly damaged, so he could only flee to the deep ditch of Yangjiawan in the middle temple to recuperate and rectify, and the situation was very difficult, and he was in a dilemma.
They sent minions to Banqiao from time to time to spy on the movements of the people. In order to understand the situation, Wang Runheng, secretary of the district party committee, sent cadre Xu Changzhao and democratic figure Liao Yongjun (former head of the Kuomintang army) to Wang Xianhua's bandit department to investigate the enemy's situation.
On October 29, 1950, with the autumn wind and maple leaves like fire, Xu Changzhao and Liao Yong only took the image of young scholars, hiding a small revolver, walking through the mountains and forests for more than four hours, and finally arrived at Yangjiawan.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the bamboo and trees are towering to the sky, as if you are in a paradise. The two were about to enter the mountains when suddenly two people jumped out of the jungle, called out the "password", and pointed their guns at them.
However, the two gun-wielding men were Wang Shaohua and Cai Mazi of the Township Office, and they asked nervously: "What are you doing here, aren't you afraid of danger?" "At that time, they called Comrade Takeover as an instructor.
Xu Changzhao saw that it was Wang Shaohua, and immediately stepped forward and said, "I know you, your name is Wang Shaohua." When Wang Shaohua heard that Xu Changzhao knew his name, his face immediately turned red, and he said in surprise: "Ah!
Instructor Xu, what are you doing here, aren't you afraid of danger? Xu Changzhao said directly: "We are here to see your commander Wang Xianhua." When Wang Shaohua heard the news, he immediately agreed to help them contact Wang Xianhua, and also expressed his willingness to follow the Communist Party, saying that he must protect the safety of Xu Changzhao and Liao Yongzhi.
Xu Changzhao was very satisfied when he heard Wang Shaohua's answer, he said that he welcomed Wang Shaohua to join their team, and said that the past was over, and he hoped that he could make meritorious contributions and be rewarded.
Wang Shaohua nodded again and again, expressing his willingness to obey Xu Changzhao's command, and said that he must protect the safety of Xu Changzhao and Liao Yongzhi.
They talked all the way, and before they knew it, they had come to the camp of the bandits. It was a wooden house with 12 rooms, large and small, and it was full of bandits, huddled together to sleep.
Some were gambling, some were smoking, some were molesting women, and the whole atmosphere was terrible. When they saw a stranger coming in, more than a dozen people immediately stood at the gate, and they all said disrespectfully: "Probably come to be the leader!" ”
No, it's a lobbyist. "You want us to go back and dream! ”…Despite the noisy shouting of the bandits, Xu and Liao only cared about drinking tea and pretended not to hear.
When Wang Shaohua led them into Wang Xianhua's room, he and the bandit "deputy commander" Jin Wenguang were smoking big cigarettes in bed, and their attitude towards them was cold and arrogant. Liao Yongjun stepped forward, handed a pack of cigarettes weighing about two catties, and said with a smile: "Commander Wang, this is a little gift from me, please accept it." ”
Wang took his hand, weighed the weight of the cigarette, then pointed to the two chairs and said, "Please take a seat, Liao Yongjun, how did you get here?" ”
Liao stood up to visit you on behalf of Boss Wang and Secretary Wang Runheng in the district, and they all cared about you. Now ** is lenient for those of us who organise clubs that put you in charge of your daily studies and activities.
Instructor Xu also suggested that you make meritorious contributions to your own reform, and will give you a job to do, or send you a placement fee to go home. As long as you change your ways, you will not be held accountable for the past. After liberation, we will build the country, and I hope you can live a stable life.
However, if it disturbs the country and harms the people, neither the ** nor the people will allow it. You can choose your own path, but you can't disturb the country and the people. If you don't believe me, you can go out and have a look.
Outside the window, the doorways and alleys were crowded with bandits, some of them wanted to give up, some wanted to kill, and some wanted to make peace. Wang Xianhua stood up to calm everyone down, and said to Xu Liao and the others: "You go and live opposite first, I need time to think." ”
After Xu Liao and the others moved in, the villagers of the original town office quietly came to report the situation, some said that Cai Mazi was willing to take his subordinates down the mountain, and some said that the two brothers Jin Wenguang were very stubborn.
Wang Xianhua saw all this in his eyes and decided to hold a meeting of the bandit leaders above the squadron leader the next morning, and also let Xu Liao and the others participate. At the meeting, Liao Yong only spoke some kind words and self-renewing experiences, and persuaded everyone to follow the Communist Party.
Xu Changzhao talked about the situation and policies. Everyone quarreled endlessly, and some people even took out guns to fight, but they were only persuaded by Liao Yong. The meeting quarreled all day, and there was not much progress, but the activities of the villagers were very active.
Xu Liao and Wang Xianhua had an hour-long in-depth exchange, listened to the suggestions of Cai Mazi, Wang Shaoxuan, Wang Shaohua and others, remained vigilant against dangerous elements, and secretly controlled them.
On the morning of the third day, a meeting of bandits was held on Yang Shaoxuan's courtyard dam and tomb. At the meeting, Wang Xianhua and Liao Yong only reviewed the mistakes of the past and the care of the first class, and called on the bandits to follow the Communist Party.
Xu Changzhao recounted the current situation and the leniency policy, and announced: "Those who are willing to go down the mountain with us will stand on the left, and those who are unwilling can stand on the right." As soon as Xu Changzhao's words were finished, the two brothers Jin Wenguang, Dai Shuchen, and Changhui Chun, four diehards, fled to the back mountain with the bandits.
Wang Shaohua raised his gun and wanted to shoot, but was stopped by Xu Changzhao in time. Xu Changzhao said: "They can't escape, let them go!" Soon after the stubborn bandits fled to the back mountain, they were surrounded by the Suiyang Martial Arts Brigade, and they were beaten to the ground, and those who ran slowly were captured alive.
Xu Changzhao and Liao Yong only managed to lead 425 bandits down the mountain and handed over ** and ammunition. After seven days of study in Banqiao Town, these bandits were sent home except for Wang Xianhua, who was sent to the county to continue their studies.
Since then, the people in the area of Daloushan have lived a peaceful life. Xu Changzhao and Liao Yong succeeded in convincing 425 bandits with only eloquence, and did not shoot or draw their guns, creating a miracle in the history of bandits before and after liberation.
