In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to historical reasons, bandits appeared in many places, and many stories were circulated. However, the case we are going to talk about today is the fiercest battle between police and bandits recorded in history since the founding of New China.
There were only three criminals in this case, one of whom was a woman, and two bandits armed with automatic rifles violently attacked ***, causing six police officers to die heroically. During the fierce fighting, not only grenades and machine guns were used, but even tanks were used to suppress the bandits.
After this fierce battle between the police and bandits, the public security department hailed it as a "battle". What's going on?
In Northeast China in 1979, rural people's enthusiasm for recruiting workers was still high. Ling Guoliang was one of them, and he was so eager to live as a worker that he actively signed up for a job at a chemical factory in Liaoyang.
However, due to the fierce competition, Ling Guoliang was not selected, which made him depressed. At this time, he heard some rumors about the unfair recruitment results, claiming that the people of the village committee played a bad role in it.
Although the determination of the recruitment quota at that time did require the participation of the village committee, Ling Guoliang did not hate all the people in the village committee because of this. However, his girlfriend Wang Min and good friend Xu Zhongzheng also signed up for this recruitment, but neither was selected.
During one conversation, they became suspicious of the decision of the village cadres, and their dissatisfaction with them gradually increased. Ling Guoliang, as the militia ordnance administrator of the brigade, put forward the idea of killing village cadres to vent his anger.
Wang Min and Xu Zhongzheng did not stop him in time, but decided to join his plan because they were also angry.
In those days, relations between our country and the Soviet Union in the north were tense, for which some villages in the northeast not only had militias, but also often conducted military training. Many villages have armories that not only store large quantities of ammunition, but are even equipped with automatic rifles.
Ling Guoliang's team's armory was no exception, stocking automatic rifles and a large amount of ammunition. As an armory keeper, Ling Guoliang easily obtained 3 automatic rifles and more than 1,500 rounds of ammunition.
According to the plan of Ling Guoliang and the others, they originally planned to get a car first, so that they could escape smoothly after **. They did find a driver named Mu Chunlin and helped them steal a Jiefang dump truck.
However, when Mu Chunlin saw Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng appear with rifles and a large number of bullets, he realized that they were not joking, but were really preparing to kill the village cadres.
However, Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng invited Mu Chunlin to join them at this time and take revenge on the village cadres with them. Mu Chunlin, who was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, refused their invitation without hesitation.
Mu Chunlin knew about Ling Guoliang and the others' plans, but he was unwilling to participate, which made Ling Guoliang and the others intolerable. After Mu Chunlin refused, Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng killed Mu Chunlin with automatic rifles to avoid leaking the news.
In order to conceal the crime, they hastily buried Mu Chunlin's body in a cornfield along with automatic rifles and bullets. After accomplishing all this, they gave up their revenge on the village cadres and decided to flee to the deep mountains and old forests in the direction of Tieling and take refuge for the time being.
Soon after Mu Chunlin's death, the body was found by nearby villagers and quickly reported to the police. When the Public Security Bureau arrived at the scene, it realized that the case was not simple and could be extremely challenging.
Because Mu Chunlin's body had a large number of rifle bullet holes, there was also a damaged automatic rifle and a large number of bullets at the scene. **After conducting a detailed investigation of the scene, he began to investigate Mu Chunlin's contacts before his death, and found that the last people he contacted were Ling Guoliang, Wang Min and Xu Zhongzheng.
After learning the identity of Ling Guoliang's ordnance custodian, ** immediately sent someone to the armory to check, and found that many guns and bullets were indeed missing. This discovery made the police nervous; The danger of having so many *** in the hands of criminal suspects is too great, and it may seriously threaten the safety of people's lives and property at any time.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the local public security organs urgently dispatched manpower, divided into multiple teams to track down Ling Guoliang and the direction in which they fled, and reported to the Public Security Department, hoping that the Tieling area would send police to assist in intercepting the murderers.
Due to the obsolescence of the police equipment and the confusion of models, some teams borrowed guns from various places before setting off, fearing that the firepower would be insufficient. However, due to the haste of the incident, it was difficult for the public security organs to respond in a timely manner, and most of the semi-automatic rifles borrowed from detention centers and other places were borrowed, which still could not compete with the firepower of the murderers.
What's worse is that the local ** is still searching for the whereabouts of the murderer, and the Tieling Public Security Police have found the murderer who is about to flee in Chaiheyan Village near National Highway 202.
This group of police officers found a young woman in the Chai Riverside Brigade, who was very similar to Wang Min, an important suspect in Mu Chunlin's murder, and her appearance was also very suspicious.
So, they sent a police officer to interrogate the woman. The young woman was Wang Min, who was panicked and frightened, and directly reported her real name.
After Tieling** confirmed that she was Wang Min, he immediately took control of her. After brief questioning, Wang Min confessed to participating in the killing of Mu Chunlin and confessed that Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhong were hiding in the village along the Chai River, and that she was there to explore the road and find food.
When they learned that the two murderers, Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng, were in the village along the Chaihe River, the police found that the gap between their own firepower and the criminals was too large, and immediately contacted a nearby search and interception team for support.
Unexpectedly, the murderer was actually not far behind Wang Min, and after discovering that Wang Min was arrested, he took advantage of the terrain to quietly approach the police. Just as the police were about to arrest Wang Min, Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng suddenly took advantage of the favorable terrain and fired at the police with automatic rifles.
Because the police were defenseless at that time, Xu Jinfa, deputy political commissar of the Political Department of the Public Security Bureau, and **Jun, a police officer, were unfortunately shot and fell to the ground. The police who reacted immediately counterattacked, but the guns of ** at that time were too old, and some could not even shoot bullets in a straight line, and the firepower could not withstand the automatic rifles of the murderers.
Ling Guoliang and Xu Zhongzheng are both militia ordnance custodians and often receive military training, Xu Zhongzheng also served in the army and served as a firearms corrector, and both have professional military combat qualities.
As a result, two more policemen were shot and fell to the ground in the face of a serious lack of firepower.
At the critical moment, ** was powerless to resist, but Shan Xingzhong, a bailiff of the local court, stepped forward and launched a counterattack against the murderer with the Southern 14th pistol in his hand.
Unfortunately, the Southern Type 14 pistol was unable to reload after firing due to a jamming problem, resulting in his heroic death in the automaton of the assailants while trying to reload.
In this sudden battle, the two murderers have already killed six public security officers by virtue of the advantage of automatic rifles. The arrogance of the murderers, has no one been able to stop it?
When they learned of the ** of the public security police, the local garrison decisively decided to support**, and immediately dispatched 4 armored vehicles, 7 tanks and 16 mortars, a luxurious lineup, enough to suppress any scale of fighting.
However, the purpose of the military was to protect the military police at the scene and did not intend to use artillery fire. When the machine gun malfunctioned, ** took the opportunity to throw grenades, leaving the two assailants powerless to fight back.
Later, a thug appeared behind the truck bunker with two picked up pistols.
When the police confirmed the true face of the main culprit, Ling Guoliang, they did not hesitate to shoot him to death. However, another murderer, Xu Zhongzheng, never appeared. Based on the situation at the scene, the police speculated that Ling Guoliang may have come out alone because his companion Xu Zhongzheng had a problem.
Having confirmed this, they again divided into groups and carefully searched the woods where the murderer was hiding. Soon after, they found Xu Zhongzheng, who had been killed, in the grass.
In the end, the battle along the Chai River ended in victory with the killing of two murderers. This is the most tragic battle in the public security department since the founding of the People's Republic of China, 6 public security officers and policemen died in the exchange of fire with the enemy, using machine guns, grenades and heavy **, and even asked the military to assist in successfully eliminating the criminals.
After the battle along the Chai River, the local ** seriously dealt with the relevant incidents. The six public security officers who died bravely were posthumously recognized as revolutionary martyrs and posthumously awarded first-class merits. At the same time, an in-depth investigation was conducted into the village cadres of Ling Guoliang, Wang Min, and Xu Zhongzheng's brigade, and the party secretary of the brigade was finally dismissed from public office.
This series of measures is a reflection on the tragic lessons of the battle along the Chai River, and it has also made our country begin to pay close attention to the issue of firearms management of militia organizations in various places. At that time, the management of firearms in militia organizations in various places was generally relatively loose, and this was a problem that needed to be solved urgently.
In order to solve this problem, all localities have begun to actively collect guns, and for militia organizations that really need to be retained, a system of separate storage and management of guns and ammunition has also been implemented.
The battle along the Chai River made the public security departments learn from the pain, and they began to deeply reflect on the issue of the allocation of guns by public security officers. In this battle, the old ** and insufficient firepower of the public security officers were exposed.
If they are equipped with sufficient firepower, then they can be drastically reduced, even if ** cannot be avoided. Therefore, shortly after this battle, our country decided to use the famous Type 54 pistol as the standard of public security police**.
