In 1983, the action of "cracking down on criminal activities" that swept the whole country was unexpected, and the fuse turned out to be a case in remote Inner Mongolia.
How did this incident happen, when did it happen, and why did it become the fuse of the 83-year crackdown?
In the 80s of the last century, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over the land of China, and with the introduction of advanced Western science and technology and open thinking, all kinds of corrupt and degenerate Western dross also followed.
In China, which is in the throes of reform, state-owned enterprises are declining, a large number of workers have been laid off, and a large number of young intellectuals who have gone to the mountains and countryside have returned to the cities. At that time, China's public security procuratorate and law had just embarked on the legal track of "governing the country according to law," and law enforcement personnel were not yet able to adapt to the new laws and regulations, resulting in an untimely and ineffective crackdown on all kinds of illegal and criminal acts, a large number of young people were indifferent to the law, and illegal and criminal activities were rampant.
Several of the protagonists in this case are typical ruffians who don't learn and don't know, and they eat and wait for death, and this shocked the whole country, shocked China's high-level, and directly triggered the 83-year crackdown.
At noon on June 16, 1983, near a farm called Hongqigou in Yakeshi City, Hulunbuir League, Inner Mongolia, Du Junfeng, an 18-year-old brick factory worker, gathered at his home.
Among these people, although the eldest Yu Hongjie is only one year older than Du Junfeng, because he has long been in the society, he follows the local social youth, often gathers people on the street to provoke **, and uses knives and guns at every turn, and has been interrogated and detained by the public security organs many times, just because of his young age and minor crimes, he has been released after education every time, and he has long been a frequent visitor to the police station. Influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, Yu Hongjie has a soft spot for the old boy, and is extremely dissatisfied with his current living state, and has repeatedly threatened to do something vigorous and shocking to the world, so that the neighbors and friends around him will remember him.
17-year-old Han Lijun, who was once imprisoned for a year for robbery with a knife, has not been released for three months until the case was discovered.
Although 16-year-old Yang Wanchun is not very old, he is a habitual thief, and he has just been released from prison with a new crime.
18-year-old Du Junfeng, influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas, admires Hong Jie very much and regards him as a big brother who dares to act.
Several young people were eating and drinking at Du Xiaofeng's house while discussing the plot in Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas, a few glasses of wine, Yu Hongjie, who was encouraged by the heroism of the big brother in the film and television drama, threw chopsticks on the table and said arrogantly: "We live like this every day, it's so unhappy, we should do something earth-shattering, so that the whole world will remember us."
Several younger brothers curiously asked Yu Hongjie what kind of earth-shattering thing he wanted to do.
Yu Hongjie's words frightened several people to sit on the stool on the spot, not daring to squeak: "Kill." ”
Seeing that the younger brothers didn't dare to say anything, Yu Hongjie didn't say anything, and several other people also thought that the eldest brother was just a mouthful, but they didn't expect that in fact, Yu Hongjie really began to plan a brutal massacre because of this temporary intention.
Just a few days ago, Yu Hongjie, together with Han Lijun and Yang Wanchun, stole 20 detonators and a fuse more than 30 meters long from the stone factory of Hongqigou Farm.
Now, these detonators and fuses are in Yang Wanchun's military satchel, and Yu Hongjie is thinking about how to make better use of these things.
After coming out of Du Junfeng's house, the three of them met another famous gangster Wang Wenli at the door of a store, and several like-minded people wandered on the street until 6 o'clock in the evening.
As soon as he came out of Wang Yasheng's house, he met Li Liang and Zhang Zuguang who were about to go to the movies, Yu Hongjie couldn't help but pull the two together, Li Liang and Zhang Zuguang were not familiar with Yu Hongjie, and knew Yu Hongjie's virtue very well, although he was unwilling to deal with such a person in his heart, but because he was afraid of the other party's obscenity, he had to accompany him.
Subsequently, Yu Hongjie and his entourage came to Du Junfeng's place of work, grinding hard and bullying and intimidating, and coerced Bao Haishan, a 16-year-old boy who worked with Du Junfeng, and Du Junfeng together.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, a group of people drove into the No. 6 dormitory where Yu Hongjie, Han Lijun and Yang Wanchun lived together in Hongqigou Farm, and called Li Xiaodong from another dormitory.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and when the 12 catties of high-grade liquor were drunk to one-third, most people were already so drunk that they couldn't stand, and while everyone was drunk and staring, Han Lijun stuck a three-edged dagger on the table: "Brothers, let's have a blood-stained red flag ditch tonight, do you dare?" ”
As soon as Han Lijun said this, everyone was stunned, and even Yu Hongjie was taken by surprise, not knowing how to answer.
Wang Yasheng, a middle school student, almost subconsciously said: "I don't dare, it's a crime, and I want to be shot", and immediately attracted Han Lijun's dagger and scolded, and Wang Yusheng, who was almost stabbed by the dagger, hurriedly said "dare to dare" in a stack, and only then did he avoid Han Lijun's dagger.
At this time, Yu Hongjie, who was sitting on the side, finally woke up, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and questioned everyone one by one with Han Lijun, "Do you dare to do it".
In the end, except for Wang Wenli and Li Xiaodong, who have always insisted on saying "don't dare", everyone else without exception said that they dared to do it.
Yu Hongjie and Han Lijun warned Wang Wenli and Li Xiaodong to lie on the bed and not to come out and not to tell the truth, and then began to lead the others and began preparations before the operation.
Han Lijun took out pliers, axes, planers and other carpentry tools from the tool kit prepared in advance, ** was not enough, they found kitchen knives, shovels, wooden sticks, wine bottles, etc., all the tools that could kill people became their murder weapons.
When the hour hand pointed to 12 o'clock, Yu Hongjie waved the dagger in his hand and announced: "The blood-stained red flag ditch is now officially started", after speaking, he opened the door and rushed out first.
Their first target was the nearby dormitory No. 10, where farm workers Pan Liang and Zhao Bo lived, and the two had already gone to bed, Yu Hongjie led people to push the door in, and slashed at the heads and chests of the two, and the two fell in a pool of blood one after another.
A group of people then rushed into dormitory No. 8, and soon, Wang Yuanzhang, a 50-year-old farm worker, Sun Gui, a 22-year-old migrant worker, and Sun You, Sun Gui's younger brother who had just entered the first year of junior high school, were hacked to death by several people at the same time.
Farm instructor Wang Huazhong was awakened by the noise, got up with a candle and a cloak to check what was going on in the corridor, and saw Yu Hongjie in the corridor and several people were making noise. Wang Huazhong, who had just been transferred to work in a local area for less than 20 days, did not die under the enemy's bullets on the battlefield, but died tragically on the job in peacetime.
Killing the instructor, Yu Hongjie took the opportunity to snatch Wang Huazhong's gun and continued to run towards the backyard of the farm.
The backyard of the farm is the canteen, because the next day is Sunday, the farm killed a pig to improve the food for everyone, the cooks Wu Wenfa and He Junmin have already boiled all the pork in the pot, in order to prevent the unruly young people from stealing food, the two lived in the canteen, and inserted a thick wooden rafter in the door to prevent the stealer from breaking in. Therefore, a group of people hit hard several times in succession without hitting the door open, so they coaxed Wu Wenfa and He Junmin, saying that the instructor was sick and came to get boiling water. As soon as the defenseless Wu Wenfa opened the door, he was knocked to the ground by Han Li**.
Subsequently, he killed the eight people who were red-eyed, ran to the farm vegetable garden, and killed Lu Wencai and Hu Xicheng, who were in their 60s, but still did not stop, and made a special trip to Yang Xiangcheng's house, which was a few hundred meters away from the farm, and brutally killed Yang Xiangcheng, Yang Xiangcheng's wife, two children under the age of 6, and parents in their 70s.
In just a few hours, a few men killed 16 farm workers in quick succession. After returning to the farm, the group went to the dormitory where the female workers of the farm lived, and while resting, they brutally sent people to each dormitory to mend knives, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets in each room, searched the body of the deceased, and looted the deceased's belongings.
Yu Hongjie led people to smash open the farm warehouse, moved 4 boxes of ammonium nitrate explosives and five or six barrels of gasoline to the No. 1 dormitory, connected the detonator and fuse, and several people imitated each other and wrote a will, preparing to die with Hongqigou Farm.
At about 5 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the female farm workers and Li Xiaodong and Wang Wenli, who were unwilling to participate in the killing, were imprisoned in the vegetable cellar of the field by Yu Hongjie and his party.
From 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Yantang, a herdsman from the nearby production team, and Lu Tiecheng from the Nuanquan production team, and other three people came to the farm by chance to run errands, unfortunately bumped into Yu Hongjie and his gang, and were also killed by him one after another.
Now, the problems faced by Yu Hongjie and his entourage are the 17 female intellectuals locked up in the vegetable cellar, as well as Li Xiaodong and Wang Wenli, who are unwilling to participate in the killing.
It is said that during the detention time of about six hours, Yu Hongjie and his party had no energy to care about these people at all, and they had every chance to get out, but they didn't know if they were frightened or didn't dare at all, and no one escaped, and they didn't even have a thought.
According to Yu Hongjie's original thoughts, he really wanted to emulate the old boy in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, and be a positive character who kills people like hemp, but cleans himself, does not bully women, and leaves a name for himself in future generations.
In the end, Han Lijun and Yu Hongjie ignited the explosives in the No. 1 dormitory, Han Lijun was killed on the spot, Yu Hongjie was burned in many places**, and the rest of the fleeing Li Liang, Bao Haishan, Zhang Zuguang, Yang Wanchun, Du Junfeng and Wang Yasheng were all captured.
Li Xiaodong was killed by Yu Hongjie and his gang, and Wang Wenli escaped among the nine female workers on the farm.
* Except for Han Lijun, who died on the spot, and Yu Hongjie and Yang Wanchun, who were sentenced to death, the rest escaped because they were under the legal age for death.
616 Hongqigou Farm** eventually caused the slaughter of 26 innocent people, shocking the whole country, and the criminals' unscrupulous cruel methods shook the top management.
Those who can be arrested or not arrested, those who can be sentenced or not arrested, those who can be sentenced or not judged, those who can be sentenced or not killed, and those who can be killed or not killed, must be resolutely killed." Deng Gong was furious, and a nationwide crackdown was launched, because the dark forces in many places had infiltrated the public security, political and legal system, so in the end, the strike-hard operation mobilized troops to carry out the arrests, and China ushered in a peaceful and tranquil social environment from then on.
