At the turning point of history in 1949, Chen Zhengren, political commissar of the Jiangxi Provincial Military Region, received a direct order from Chairman *** and shouldered a heavy responsibility - to lead a force to the heart of the bandit leader Xiao Jiabi.
This name once made his heart burn with deep anger, and at this moment, the opportunity for revenge finally came. He firmly put Xiao Jiabi's ** in front of him, and declared to his mother with determination: "Mother, your son is about to clear your shame!" ”
Subsequently, with an in-depth understanding of the region, Chen Zhengren led the team to launch a carpet raid. So, what is the fate of Xiao Jiabi? Is Chen Zhengren's road to revenge smooth?
The answer is waiting to be revealed.
Born in 1907, Chen Zhengren, a talented son in Jiangxi, was immersed in the atmosphere of scholars, and his father was a late Qing Xiucai, and the rich cultural heritage quietly sowed the seeds when he was young.
This enlightenment came to an abrupt end when he was 8 years old, when the death of his father left the family in trouble. The mother, a tough woman, took the lead with her modest efforts, ploughing the fields during the day and working at night, just so that her son could continue his education.
Despite the hardships of life, Chen Zhengren was admitted to the Provincial No. 6 Middle School with his extraordinary intelligence, as if he saw the dawn of higher education, but the pressure of life made his mother fall ill soon after, and at that moment, Chen Zhengren's fate and studies faced a severe test.
Chen Zhengren, who was deeply affected by the injustice of fate, knew that his mother was not able to catch it, and with his tenacity and determination, he raised a meager amount of more than 20 yuan from his classmates, which embodies his thirst for knowledge.
Although he was only accompanied by a thin quilt in the cold wind of the winter night, this difficult life gave birth to his strong will, and the disease did not defeat him, but stimulated his curiosity and reform.
The young Chen Zhengren is eager to break the old system and practice his ideals with action. Under the influence of Mr. Luo Xing, he came into contact with and accepted the enlightenment of Marxism, and became a member of the Communist Party of China in 1925, becoming a member of the revolutionary ranks.
With the passage of time, Chen Zhengren's political ideals became more and more firm, and he led a sensational "Wan'an Uprising" in his hometown, and since then he has embarked on a revolutionary journey, determined to write a new chapter in history with actions.
In the beacon years of 1928, Chen Zhengren stood on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi as a member of the special committee and fought unremittingly against the dark forces. What is particularly admirable is that his mother, an ordinary woman, always stood firmly behind him, not only fully supported, but also resolutely joined the Communist Party under the influence of the revolution.
Her wisdom and courage turned into an invisible protective umbrella to cover the party's actions. However, this selfless devotion exposed her and made her unfortunate in the hunt of the reactionaries.
In the face of severe threats, she refused to betray the revolution with an iron will, and was willing to sacrifice her life to protect her son's mission, and also sacrificed her precious life for the revolutionary cause.
A name has since been imprinted in the hearts of Chen Zhengren - Xiao Jiabi, born in 1887 in a wealthy landlord's family. His father spared no financial resources to send him to the best local universities, hoping that he would get ahead.
However, the educated Xiao Jiabi did not uphold the spirit of the rule of law, but was instigated by the Kuomintang and embarked on a path that ran counter to the people. He abused his power, formed an armed force against our party, colluded with the local authorities, and was greedy for money, and the people deeply hated him.
Surprisingly, after the Autumn Harvest Uprising in 1927, **'s plan to lead his troops into Jinggangshan was ruthlessly obstructed by Xiao Jiabi.
On October 23, the autumn wind was cold, and I rushed to Jinggangshan in a hurry, just to solve the warmth dilemma of the soldiers in time. However, when they arrived at Dafenbianjie, they were unexpectedly attacked by hundreds of bandits, and the tired team was forced to rush into battle at a heavy cost, which was etched in the chairman's heart.
What is shocking is that this is actually done by Xiao Jiabi, who is familiar with him, he has had a holiday with **, and for ***, he is an unforgivable sin. I thought that Xiao Jiabi would rein in after the lesson of **, but he did not expect that he had colluded with the Kuomintang and was arrogant.
In 1928, after Zhu Mao joined the army, he vowed to seek justice for those innocent soldiers who died. In the face of the strength of ***, Xiao Jiabi knew that he could not resist, and hurriedly escaped into the mountains to escape the pursuit of justice.
**'s strike plan was thwarted, but it ignited Xiao Jiabi's close cooperation with the Jiang clan, and his power swelled, making the siege battle even more tricky. Xiao Jiabi took advantage of this momentum to launch a crazy counterattack against our control area, and went deep into the mountains with his geographical advantages, like maggots attached to the bones.
After the withdrawal of the Red Army, he made a comeback, creating endless panic, burning, killing and looting, and hundreds of people became innocent victims. His slogan, "Leave no trace, everything must change," exposes his ruthless tactics, torture and brutality against the Communists and their families.
Chen Zhengren's mother, Zhang Longxiu, fell into the clutches of the devil and suffered heinous torture, and the last appearance made Chen Zhengren's heart ache.
In Suichuan County, such a tragedy is not an isolated case, and almost every village has been devastated by Xiao Jiabi's troops. Xizhuang Village, once a hot land full of revolutionary enthusiasm, was once a prosperous scene of thousands of people, but under Xiao Jiabi's iron hooves, now there is only an empty restaurant left, witnessing their atrocities.
Sixty-nine of the hundreds of households in the five major villages were wiped out, and no one escaped the clutches of the disaster, young or old. Xiao Jiabi was therefore given the notoriety of "Xiao Butcher", and according to statistics, he committed many crimes, killing more than 2,500 innocent people, which became an indelible shadow in Suichuan County and an incurable pain in the hearts of the Red Army troops.
For Chen Zhengren, Wang Cizhen and other families who have suffered deeply, this name is like an unforgettable curse, and they are looking forward to the day when they will take revenge.
In the grief of his mother's death, Chen Zhengren burned the flame of revenge in his heart, but he knew that the existence of Xiao Jiabi and his ilk warned him that he must remain calm. During his tenure in Suichuan, he adhered to his duties and reported to *** every step of his action, and his thoughtfulness was reflected in the propaganda and education materials he compiled, which won high recognition from ***.
Chen Zhengren went deep into the masses and understood the local situation in detail, and this solid work style made him highly appreciated. Even after the fierce battle between the Red Fifth Army and the enemy, Chen Zhengren showed his leadership and determination by quickly reorganizing the guerrillas with his indomitable spirit.
In the difficult years after the Red Army's Long March, Chen Zhengren suffered from lung disease and planned to go to the Soviet Union to recuperate and then return to fighting. However, in the face of the turmoil in Xinjiang, he resolutely returned to Yan'an under the arrangement of **, and continued to lead the work while recuperating.
From 1938 to 1943, under the leadership of the Northwest Bureau, he promoted the orderly progress of work with iron-fisted discipline and high-quality soldiers. On October 19, 1942, the first meeting led by Chen Zhengren and his colleagues had a profound impact on the discipline construction of New China.
With the calming of the situation in the northwest, the trust of ** fell on the shoulders of Chen Zhengren, and he was sent to the northeast to preside over the work. In the face of unprecedented challenges, Chen Zhengren relied on the experience of the Jinggangshan period to go deep into the countryside, mobilize the masses, and implement land reform and rent reduction policies, thus laying a solid foundation.
It is precisely with this tenacity and wisdom that he led the Northeast Army to gradually move towards the road of stable development.
The Battle of Crossing the River in 1949 announced the collapse of the Kuomintang regime, and many Kuomintang troops were forced to retreat to Taiwan, and Xiao Jiabi panicked in the chaos. Although the defeat was decided, he still stuck to Jinggangshan, and proclaimed himself the "Major General Commander of the First Column of the Suibei ** Self-Defense Army in the Jinggangshan Appeasement Zone", and stubbornly resisted to the end.
For Xiao Jiabi's ignorance of current affairs and crimes, ** took it to heart, and was determined to seek justice for the martyrs and innocent people and restore peace in Jinggangshan. **After pondering deeply, he thought that Chen Zhengren, a native of Jiangxi, was most suitable to return to his hometown, he said: "Comrade Chen Zhengren is familiar with Jiangxi, and it is only appropriate for him to preside over the work there." ”
After receiving the assignment, Chen Zhengren, who was serving in Jilin, did not hesitate to return to Beijing and planned an arduous task together with *** and **.
At this time, although Jiangxi had been liberated, the situation was still unstable, and the burden on Chen Zhengren's shoulders was extremely heavy. As soon as he heard the name Xiao Jiabi, his fighting spirit was high, and he accepted this liquidation mission without hesitation, and devoted himself to post-war reconstruction and political and ideological propaganda work.
Of course, the first task is to eradicate the cancer of Xiao Jiabi. After learning of the determination of **, Xiao Jiabi escaped into the deep mountains and dense forests, but Chen Zhengren was not afraid and decisively commanded the 425th Regiment of the 142nd Division of the 48th Army to launch an encirclement and suppression operation.
They imposed a strict blockade on Jinggang Mountain and conducted an all-round carpet search, and in the end, Xiao Jiabi had nowhere to hide and was captured. Chen Zhengren was relieved at that moment, and the weight of many years dissipated in an instant.
Subsequently, Xiao Jiabi was escorted to the trial seat, and in the face of his past mistakes, he confessed frankly. Standing on the execution ground, he expressed remorse for his past for the first time, and his previous stubbornness finally woke up.
Xiao Jiabi, who held countless innocent lives in his hands, could not erase his crimes no matter what, and the public trial and justice verdict followed, and his death ended the turmoil in Jiangxi.
Taking this opportunity, people accepted the profound teachings of the Party, reflected on their past mistakes, and resolved to regain their lives. In the new chapter of New China, Chen Zhengren, as a pillar, adhered to his post and made outstanding contributions to national construction.
Sadly, this selfless devotee died in Beijing in 1972 at the age of 65 after a long period of hard work, and his spirit will forever be recorded in history.
