In the early days of the founding of New China, all provinces were faced with a severe problem of banditry. Most of these bandit troops existed before the founding of New China, especially in Guangxi, which became the nest of the new Gui lineage, and after the establishment of New China, there are still many remnants of the Gui lineage.
Guangxi's complex geographical environment, dominated by high mountains and dense forests, provided ideal hiding and escape conditions for bandits. However, this is a very difficult task for the bandit team who are not familiar with the terrain, and it undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the bandits.
In addition, Guangxi was bordered by Vietnam in the south, and after the War of Liberation, the remnants of the Kuomintang attempted to flee to Vietnam. As a result, Guangxi became a staging ground for the remnants of the Kuomintang in the provinces, who tried to make their way to Vietnam through Guangxi.
These unfavorable conditions provided a breeding ground for the development of banditry in Guangxi. Among them, a woman known as the "military commander's wife" led a team of 5,000 people before the founding of the country, but after the founding of the country, she gathered a larger army in the 100,000 mountains. How to exterminate this huge force of bandits became an urgent problem to be solved at that time.
This "military commander's wife" was none other than Wei Xiuying, who was born in Guangxi in 1900 to a family of blacksmiths. Unlike other women, she has shown a different kind of strength and domineering since she was a child. Her husband, Zhang Ruigui, was born in a poor family in Guangxi, and the family worked hard, but it was difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing.
At a young age, Zhang Ruigui helped his parents with farm work and firewood collection in the mountains, and then sold it to other places to help them tide over the difficulties. In 1909, under the influence of Sun Yat-sen's armed uprising in Guangxi, Zhang Ruigui joined the League, and the following year abandoned agriculture to join the army and became a member of the old Gui army. During his tenure as company commander, he met Wei Xiuying and became husband and wife. Zhang Ruigui performed heroically in the battle and gradually rose from an ordinary soldier to a company commander.
Wei Xiuying and Zhang Ruigui left Guangxi to settle in Guangzhou, but Zhang Ruigui met a younger and more beautiful woman in Guangzhou and married her as a concubine. Faced with her husband's inattentiveness, Wei Xiuying angrily returned to her hometown in Guangxi, took some property and munitions, used the land she bought in her hometown to build a residence, and formed a self-defense team.
Wei Xiuying's strength and domineering also won respect in the 100,000 mountains of Guangxi, and she learned and mastered the use of munitions, becoming the local "military commander's wife". Zhang Ruigui fled to Taiwan after the defeat of the Kuomintang, and was instructed to ask Wei Xiuying to assist the remnants of the Kuomintang in carrying out armed destruction.
However, Wei Xiuying's army did a lot of evil in Guangxi, which attracted the attention of the first class. Although Guangxi has been carrying out the work of suppressing bandits, Wei Xiuying and others are still rampant in Guangxi. The chairman severely criticized the person in charge of the local anti-bandit work, and sent *** and Tao Zhu to Guangxi to assist in the anti-bandit work. At that time, there were more than one million members of the anti-bandit team formed in Guangxi.
The bandits in other parts of Guangxi were quickly eliminated, leaving only the "hard bones" that Wei Xiuying and others were difficult to deal with. Wei Xiuying sought Taiwan's help and sent Colonel Jiang Qiang to assist, but our side successfully intercepted the intelligence and arrested Jiang Qiang.
Under the coercion of confession, Jiang Qiang revealed that Wei Xiuying had not seen him in person, so we sent Dong Shaotang to impersonate Jiang Qiang and successfully broke into Wei Xiuying's interior. Dong Shaotang collected information, passed it on to **, and concealed the actual situation, so that Wei Xiuying thought that the battle situation was still favorable.
In early December 1950, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) sent two divisions of troops to surround the 100,000 mountains organized by Wei Xiuying and annihilate three of its armies. After a day and a night of fierce fighting, our army eliminated Zhu Guangchou's brigade at the cost of 23 people. Wei Xiuying saw the situation clearly, led the remnants to flee to Tantian Village, Qinxian County, and our side won the victory after three days of fierce fighting.
Subsequently, Wei Xiuying fled again to the town of Dalu, which borders Vietnam, and our army again quickly pursued. Wei Xiuying hid in a high-rise building in a landowner's compound, and we decided to blow up the high-rise building. After the war, Wei Xiuying's body was discovered, marking the successful completion of the anti-bandit work in Guangxi in late February 1951.
Wei Xiuying, the "wife of the army commander", once led a huge army to threaten the people on one side, but under the resolute guidance of ***, through the extermination of a million-strong army, the threat of bandits from all walks of life in Guangxi was ended, and the safety and stability of the local people were ensured. This history also reveals the tremendous pressure that China faced in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and through the efforts and resolute actions of the Communist Party, China gradually became prosperous and powerful, which is a stark contrast.
