The report on bandits reads: Recently, bandits in Sichuan, Kang, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces have successively launched large-scale armed riots in various localities, and some security regiments, habitual bandits, and reactionary associations left over from the Kuomintang army have colluded with the reactionary feudal forces in the villages, taking advantage of the fact that the political power in various parts of our country has just been established, or that some local political power has not yet had time to be established, and the masses have not yet fully mobilized, they have taken advantage of the current disaster and famine in various localities to deceive and incite the masses, put forward slogans such as "oppose the requisition of grain, do not levy grain," and openly shouted. He waited patiently for half a year, saw the right opportunity to counterattack, "drove away, and did not pay grain for three years," and wantonly collected stragglers, ruffians, and hooligans of the Kuomintang army, organized bandits and armed forces of various names, launched armed riots in various places, attacked our army and local political power at all levels, killed our local cadres, workers, and grain collectors, looted grain depots, burned down prisons, and established guerrilla zones on the mainland, in an attempt to achieve the goal of long-term confrontation with China, and was very arrogant
In these areas where bandits have rioted, almost or all of the political power at the county, district, and township levels have been smashed, the military rations collected and the grain money sent to the disaster areas have been robbed and robbed, and the work in the rural areas, such as rent and interest reductions and spring plowing and production, has been paralyzed for a time, with the result that grain supply is difficult and prices have soared
At the same time, some Kuomintang rebel units mutinied one after another under the planning of the bandits, and the 61st Division of the 27th Army and the 123rd Division of the 20th Army of the former Kuomintang Li Zhen Corps mutinied
On 5 February, Zhu Xiangli, director of the Political Department of the 179th Division of the 60 th Army, was ordered to enter Beijing to serve as China's ambassador to a certain country
This report on bandits was issued by the Southwest Military Region, and was signed by Commander Liu Bocheng and Political Commissar Deng Xiaoping
At the moment when Xinjiang was about to be liberated, the American consul Maknan transliterated in Dihua, Xinjiang, suddenly disappeared, where did this guy go?
It turned out that he took advantage of the favorable conditions in the early days of Xinjiang's peaceful liberation, when the reactionary bandits had not yet been wiped out, and sneaked from Dihua to the eastern part of Xinjiang to the western part of the town, and gathered several major bandit leaders along the way and instructed them to rebel against the living democratic government
Maknan instructed the bandit leaders of all walks of life that the PLA who has not been in China in Xinjiang for a long time should accumulate strength, expand their armed forces, and be ready at all times to wait for the outbreak of World War III and for the Kuomintang government in Taiwan to return to its territory
Among the several bandit leaders valued by Maknan, in addition to the Yao Le Bo of Hami that we introduced earlier, there is also a habitual bandit named Usman
Usman: 52 years old, a native of Fuyun County, Xinjiang, when he was a child, he was a sheep herding baby, and he couldn't recognize a few big words, known as "the wild child on the grassland", a wild child who grew up eating a hundred meals, became a bandit at the age of eighteen, because of his ruthlessness, he was very appreciated by the bandit leader at that time, Khan Nohaji, and since then his reputation among the bandits has gradually risen
After September 1939, Usman participated in the Kazakh mass uprisings in Fuyun, Qinghe, and Fuhai counties three times, and was famous for his bravery in battle
After the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang, Wang Zhen, commander of the First Corps of the People's Liberation Army, came to Xinjiang with a large army, and in accordance with the relevant ethnic policies of his superiors, Commander Wang sent the People's Liberation Army (PLA) representative Amati and his party to find Usman and handed him a letter and gifts, hoping that he would surrender to the government
Usman accepted the gifts and letterheads, but did not say a word about the surrender, but only asked his men to slaughter cattle and sheep, and treated the representatives of the People's Liberation Army with great hospitality.
"General Wang Zhen asked me to tell you that Xinjiang has been peacefully liberated, as long as you no longer have hatred for the Han compatriots and no longer provoke wars, the mistakes made in the past can be forgiven by the People's Liberation Army, and you can also go to Ashan or Dihua to participate in the work of the government.
"Yes, yes," Wu Siman agreed, but other thoughts were turning in his head, because, just before that, he had been appointed by Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, as the commander-in-chief of Xinjiang appeasement, and Yao Lebas, who was appointed by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Taiwan, as chairman of Xinjiang Province, to be in charge of the riots in the whole of Xinjiang
Commander-in-chief, this title was quite attractive to him, a wild child who grew up on horseback, and the words of the PLA representative were taken on deaf ears by him
At the beginning of 1950, Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, gave a picture cake that put Usman and Yaolebas on the road to a dead end in confrontation with the PLA
Around the time of the Spring Festival, there were some absurd and nonsensical rumors circulating in Xinjiang society, saying that the Soviet Union had proposed not to use nuclear weapons at the United Nations meeting, that the three countries had been occupied by the United States, that the Third World War was about to start, and that once the Third World War began, China would be recovered by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek within 14 hours
Supported by these rambling rumors and fantasies, some people with evil intentions began to stir up the mood again, believing that the time had come, and that as long as the Kuomintang succeeded in counterattacking the mainland, their good days would come
Affected by this, Li Yong and the soldiers of the Independent Brigade also felt the crisis, and Li Yong and Wang Chengde ordered the troops to make full preparations for battle, and not to relax for a second
The string that had not been fighting for more than two months was tightening again, but at this time there was another problem plaguing Li Yong and his soldiers: In order to do a good job in the mass work at the grassroots level, it was necessary to disperse the troops in accordance with the instructions of the higher authorities, and if they were dispersed, they would inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and how to complete the tasks assigned by the higher authorities without affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops posed a big problem for the commanders of the independent brigade
In the end, Li Yong proposed that it is necessary to flexibly implement the decisions of the higher authorities according to the actual situation, and that the independent brigade is a whole, and the lethal power of the fists clenched together is great, so the troops cannot all be dispersed
The independent brigade had ten battalions, five infantry battalions and one reconnaissance battalion scattered to carry out superior tasks, and the brigade headquarters was armed with tank battalions, howitzer battalions, machine gun battalions, baggage battalions, and several direct companies, so that they could support at any time if there was a situation
Scattered the troops like a goddess scattering flowers, and the independent brigade of ten battalions was only four battalions and brigade headquarters left in a few days, and the personnel were reduced by half
When it comes to worrying about worry, it really gets to the point, and doing mass work inevitably involves going to villages and alleys, and to the grassroots communities, and dangers are everywhere in the land full of dangers
The bandits and spies did not dare to make a move with the large forces of the PLA, but they had no scruples about the small group of task forces, and Li Yong knew this very well, so he ordered the soldiers of several battalions scattered to be vigilant in every operation, and the size of the dispatched personnel should not be less than two platoons, and they should also bring more ammunition and supplies in case of emergency
Brigade Commander Li Yong's idea is that each infantry platoon of the Independent Brigade has no less than 100 personnel, and the two platoons acting together are equivalent to two companies of ordinary troops together, coupled with powerful firepower, they can completely cope with unexpected situations for a while, and the brigade headquarters can also provide quick support
After several years of bloody struggle with the Kuomintang army, the independent brigade seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, but among these equipment, communication equipment is still very valuable, in other words, the communication facilities in the Kuomintang troops are not perfect, and the People's Liberation Army, which started by capturing them, cannot add more
The independent brigade is a combat brigade with the best weapons and equipment in the whole field army, and its communications equipment is second to none, and the brigade has a radio station and a walkie-talkie in the battalion and platoon, but in this way, it is very difficult to grasp the enemy's situation and our situation at any time; for this reason, brigade commander Li Yong stressed that every infantry platoon should be equipped with a wireless walkie-talkie, and each working group should not let the distance be too far apart, and try to be within the contact range of the walkie-talkie, so that if there is a situation, they can communicate in a timely manner, and the two task forces can also support each other
Some people say, isn't it too cautious to do this, millions of regular Kuomintang troops have been cleaned up by us, and we are afraid of a few bandits and spies? What big waves can a few stinky fish make
Li Yong was not in the mood to explain carefully, but just told everyone that our soldiers were warriors who had survived a hundred battles, and he didn't want to see the soldiers lose their lives because of a momentary negligence
With the gradual development of the task force, a large-scale operation was launched within the jurisdiction of the independent brigade to clear out bandits and surrender their guns, and the specific method was that all those who had served as bandits and spies should report to the government in a timely manner, hand over their weapons and ammunition, and the government promised not to investigate and prosecute those who were stubborn, and once they were found to be severely punished
In this way, there are problems again, the policy at that time was to divide the government as the mainstay, supplemented by armed strikes, that is to say, to try to solve the bandits with a gentle approach, to crack down on the first evil, coercion never asked, therefore, in the implementation of the policy in various places and departments have deviations, some places even the most heinous bandit spies have been caught and released, and said what is to learn from Zhuge Liang to attack the heart for the unfinished to be continued If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, That's my biggest motivation)v
