On March 15, 1950, an urgent telegram from Deng Xiaoping was delivered to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao received the telegram and his face turned red, then turned blue, and slowly ignited. After a cigarette, he yelled: These bandits have simply lost their humanity!
What did Deng Xiaoping say that made Chairman Mao, who had always been gentle and elegant, turn red? What did the bandits do that made Chairman Mao yell at them?

Foreword
In October 1949, Chairman Mao proudly shouted at the Tiananmen Gate Tower in Beijing: " The People's Republic of China has been established!".
In December of the same year, the People's Liberation Army was overwhelming and successfully liberated Chengdu. The Kuomintang troops collapsed, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan by plane, marking the complete victory of the Liberation War.
In March of the following year after the founding of New China
, a telegram from the Southwest Military Region was urgently sent to Beijing. It was signed by the two leaders, He Long and Deng Xiaoping. After seeing the content, the director of the Telegraph Bureau immediately sent it to Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai. Chairman Mao's instructions.
At this moment Ziguang Pavilion Chairman Mao was in a meeting. When he saw the contents of the telegram, he immediately terminated the meeting. His face was livid and he said angrily: "This is simply shameless and inhumane!"
He Long and Deng Xiaoping
then ordered the secretary to read the contents. For everyone present, the content of the telegram is as follows:
"Large-scale armed bandit riots occurred continuously in recent areas in the southwest"
On February 5, 1950, a bandit riot involving tens of thousands of people occurred in the Longtan area of Chengdu. The director of the Political Department of the 718th Division of our army Zhu Xiangli was killed, and at the same time, more than 50 soldiers who were in the reinforcements died. The bandit leader Wu Jie hacked to death the deputy county magistrate, the county government minister, the section chief, and the staff member with a long knife in the police station of Changshun County.
The highway from Chengdu to the outside world and the Yuhu waterway were cut off, and important bridges were damaged. They even used children to intercept our army transport vehicles, rob supplies, and kill our army soldiers escorting the vehicles.
At this time, the country had just stabilized for less than half a year. After the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan, it still colluded with the United States and tried to counterattack the mainland. American aircraft carriers often appeared near the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula is not optimistic either. North Korea's Kim Il Sung and South Korea's Rhee Syngman have constant friction, and the Korean War may break out at any time.
North Korea and South Korea conflict
At this critical juncture, such a bad incident occurred in southwest my country. Bandits were so rampant. Military and government personnel were openly killed by bandits. The suffering suffered by the local people must be indescribable.
The secretary continued to read, and sure enough, Chairman Mao was most worried about the fact that during the
period, more than 10,000 cadres, officers, soldiers, and people were killed by bandits.
Bandits kill people
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room stopped talking instantly, the air was silent for an instant, and only the sound of everyone breathing heavily could be heard.
Chairman Mao lit a cigarette, was silent for a while and said: "The banditry in the southwest is so rampant and organized by someone. This is a political incident. If it is allowed to develop, it will be detrimental to the stable development of New China."
The action begins.
Chairman Mao has practiced the five words of "serving the people" all his life. He often warned everyone that the people are the foundation of the country. The Red Army also left a reputation for not taking advantage of the masses. What he couldn't stand the most was seeing the people suffer, let alone being killed by bandits.
Chairman Mao issued an order on the spot, ordering Deng Xiaoping and others:
"The banditry must be eradicated as soon as possible at any cost! These people must disappear!"
Chairman Mao and the people together
can make the entire southwest region riot at the same time, one person has to mention , he is Wang Xufu, director of the General Affairs Office of the Central Army School of the Kuomintang.
After the People's Liberation Army won the Liaoshen Battle victory, he knew that time was running out and the disintegrating Kuomintang army could not resist our brave and tenacious People's Liberation Army, so he formulated a poisonous plan! The general content of
is that after the Kuomintang troops were defeated in Taiwan, they organized left-behind spies in various parts of New China to carry out riots and shake the foundation of New China.
Although this plan was shelved by Chiang Kai-shek at the time, the offensive of the People's Liberation Army soldiers far exceeded Chiang Kai-shek's expectations. When the People's Liberation Army marched straight into Nanjing, he finally decided to use Wang Xufu's poisonous plan.
So Wang Xufu was called to the office and made fully responsible for the matter. He also gave instructions to Mao Renfeng and fully cooperated with the matter.
Mao Renfeng
The main force of the Kuomintang continued to collapse, but there were still enemy agents who were unwilling to surrender and were causing riots across the country. Wang Xufu gathered them and taught them how to undermine social stability and teach guerrilla tactics.
The Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated three times. During the cooperation, the People's Liberation Army taught Wang Xufu and others free of charge guerrilla tactics. Unexpectedly, they were used on the People's Liberation Army. They are really cruel.
Cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party
These key personnel trained by Wang Xufu were not enough, so he targeted bandits across the country and distributed weapons that the national army could not take away to bandits, robbers, ruffians, and hooligans.
He also promised high officials and generous salaries, and told them that the Kuomintang would counterattack the mainland, and when the time comes, prosperity and wealth will be indispensable.
Wang Xufu used this trick to recruit a large number of people. The high mountains and ridges in the southwest have been the dens of bandits and robbers since ancient times. Taking advantage of this terrain, you can take this poisonous strategy to its extreme!
Southwest mountainous area
conspiracy
In March 1950, Mao Renfeng, who fled to Taiwan, based on Wang Xufu's ideas, gave secret instructions to the bandit leader Wu Jie in the southwest region to launch riots and attacks in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. The army and government blocked local traffic.
Martyr Zhu Xiangli in the telegram has made outstanding contributions to our party and our country, and is a rare pillar of the country. In "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong annihilates the Japanese spectator group, including a major general and major general. More than 120 people including were annihilated, which caused a gap among senior Japanese military officers and dampened the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, which was talked about by people.
This incident really happened. It was Zhu Xiangli who collected information about the route of the Japanese convoy. Without him, Li Yunlong would not have been able to achieve such a brilliant record.
Bright Sword Stills
After the Liberation War, he worked in Sichuan to reform the uprising troops. When the riots broke out, the Central Committee called him back to Beijing and went to Bulgaria to serve as a diplomat.
New China has just been founded, and there are not many countries willing to establish diplomatic relations with our country. Our country attaches great importance to every country that is willing to establish diplomatic relations. Comrade Zhu Xiangli was sent because of his outstanding personal abilities.
Martyr Zhu Xiangli
When he passed by Longtan Temple, he encountered the bandit Wu Jie and his party who had premeditated the plan. The armed detachment escorting Zhu Xiangli had a fierce exchange of fire with the bandits. Zhu Xiangli escaped with injuries and hid in a common people's house. They spread the word that the whole village would not save Zhu Xiangli's people. In order to protect the local people, Zhu Xiangli stood up.
The bandits tried to persuade him to tell the party secrets at first, but Zhu Xiangli remained unmoved. The bandits became furious and used torture on him. Zhu Xiangli still gritted his teeth and remained silent, while the bandits frantically dug out the secrets. Zhu Xiangli's eyes were blinded, and he finally took off his clothes and scalded him alive with boiling water.
has been a member of the Party for 17 years and has been working hard for the cause of the Party and has made great contributions. It is really sad that such a hero should be treated so cruelly by bandits.
Martyr Zhu Xiangli was killed
The bandits relied on their numerical advantage to continuously attack government institutions, tortured and extorted confessions from our party members, and asked them to quit the party, but no one gave in. They also poisoned water sources. In Yilong County, Sichuan, the bandits poisoned more than 3,800 local people at one time. They burned, killed, looted, and raped young girls in towns, displacing tens of thousands of people. They committed all kinds of evil. These actions were heinous.
created rumors, deceived the local people, tricked ignorant people into joining them, and did not allow local people to contact the People's Liberation Army. They even established a ten-kill ban on those who did not run away from the People's Liberation Army, and those who delivered food and letters to the People's Liberation Army. .
On the way to suppress the bandits
But when He Long and Deng Xiaoping led the People's Liberation Army into the southwest, the roads were lined with local people who lined the streets to welcome them. They shouted that the People's Liberation Army was coming, and good days were coming. The high-pitched shouts were moving.
In accordance with Chairman Mao's instructions, Deng Xiaoping formulated instructions for suppressing bandits and united the local people to join the team of suppressing bandits. As soon as the instructions came out, local people supported them one after another and joined the People's Liberation Army or the regional people's armed forces, further strengthening the suppression of bandits. The strength of bandits!
The people set off firecrackers to welcome the People's Liberation Army
An unprecedented bandit suppression has begun!
There are many mountainous areas in the southwest, and bandits and the remnants of the Kuomintang are hiding in scattered places. However, the People's Liberation Army has opened a dragnet to wipe out the banditry and will not let anyone go.
In July, the central government issued the latest instructions to strengthen the eradication of banditry, and carried out tasks such as land rectification and rent reduction based on local actual conditions. Later, Comrade Deng Xiaoping called this incident "the Battle of Huaihai in the Southwest!"
In the past, the People's Liberation Army used guerrilla tactics to attack the Kuomintang troops, but in the Southwest, the remnants of the Kuomintang and the bandits also used the same tactics. The People's Liberation Army encountered many problems that it had never encountered before in combat. Based on these practical problems, the Southwest People's Liberation Army quickly adjusted its strategy, focusing on military strikes and supplemented by political struggles.
Under the unified deployment of the Southwest Military Region, PLA soldiers have continued to achieve brilliant results, engaging in nearly 10,000 large and small battles. In the Guizhou region alone, a total of 190,000 bandits were annihilated in half a year! It also helped many captured bandits to undergo ideological transformation, change their ways, and become useful people to New China.
The People's Liberation Army dispatched a total of 39 armies, and more than 1 million people of the People's Liberation Army participated in the suppression of bandits. By 1953, the war against bandits was basically over, and more than 1.16 million armed personnel were wiped out in the entire southwest region.
Wu Jie, the gangster who killed martyr Zhu Xiangli, was also arrested. The People's Liberation Army held a public trial at the place where Zhu Xiangli was killed in Longtan Temple, and finally sentenced Wu Jie to death. The People's Liberation Army who killed Wu Jie was Zhu Xiangli's Comrade, he is using Zhu Xiangli's gun.
At this point, the evil conspiracy of the Kuomintang was completely shattered. The great revenge of the revolutionary martyrs was finally avenged. China has never lacked heroic seniors who dared to sacrifice themselves for the revolutionary cause. In this southwest banditry , many heroic figures were born, including the eye-catching Xiao Guobao who dared to sacrifice his life. Comrade ’s deeds are the most tragic.
Public trial of Wu Jie
Comrade Xiao Guobao’s deeds
Xiao Guobao was called a sharpshooter by his comrades in the company. During a pursuit, the enemy was almost 200 meters away from Xiao Guobao. He calmly pulled the trigger, and the enemy 200 meters away responded. fall.

In a battle in early March, across a ravine from the enemy, the enemy's machine gun bullets spurted out like a tongue of flame, blocking the pursuit mission of Xiao Guobao's company. If time delayed for a while, the enemy It was possible to escape the encirclement. At the critical moment, Xiao Guobao shouted, "Cover me," jumped down the ravine, found the right opportunity, and killed the gangster machine gunner, buying precious time for the company.
There are countless stories like this. Xiao Guobao himself achieved six company-level merits and two regiment-level merits. His class was awarded the honorary title of 'Bandit Suppression Hero Class'.
In November, the Guizhou Military Region prepared to encircle and annihilate a group of bandits in the Changshun area, and to capture the bandit commander Cao Shaohua alive. The superiors assigned this important task to Xiao Guobao's 1st Battalion of the 140th Regiment. Xiao Guobao said at the swearing-in meeting: "We will definitely eliminate Cao Shaohua, a gangster who does all kinds of evil, and eliminate harm for the early Republic of China! Strive for greater honor for the battalion!"
The battle begins
Xiao Guobao led his squad of soldiers, and after two full days of pursuit, in a On the top of a mountain called Wild Horse Mountain, they caught up with more than 400 remnants led by the bandit leader Cao Shaohua. Although these remnants were in a state of disarray, they were all Cao Shaohua's personal guards, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Cape Chong under Yema Mountain is a canyon, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and a ravine in the middle. Except for three relatively gentle gaps, there is no other way out.
After investigation, the armed forces team decided to block the gap and carry out encirclement and annihilation. The first shot of the battle was fired at the gap in the west. Hundreds of bandits were attacked by the powerful firepower of our army, so they had to raid the gap in the south. The gap in the south was where Xiao Guobao's location, when he discovered that the enemy was coming here, he immediately led his men towards the ravine.
The cape rush
gangsters immediately organized machine gunners to suppress fire, preventing the troops behind from joining Xiao Guobao, so he decided to shoot down the machine gun. He first fired at the front with the submachine gun in his hand, and then quickly rushed in. At this time, a A bullet hit Comrade Xiao Guobao in the waist. He endured the pain and continued to advance. The gangsters were frightened by his desperate state and ran back one after another.
At this time, the bandit's chief of staff Ma Qizhong still resisted tenaciously. A bullet shot Xiao Guobao in the chest. Xiao Guobao also came to Ma Qizhong, picked up the butt of the submachine gun, and hit Ma Qizhong hard on the head. He knocked him to the ground and shot him again, killing Ma Qizhong.
Battle scene
But the enemy's machine gun was still firing fiercely, and there were no bullets in Xiao Guobao's gun. He used his last strength, threw himself at the muzzle of the machine gun and shouted: "Comrades, rush, capture Cao Shaohua alive!"
Encouraged by Xiao Guobao, the comrades continued to close the distance with the gangsters, and finally annihilated all the last gangsters!
Afterwards, the People's Liberation Army discovered that Comrade Xiao Guobao had been shot seven times and died heroically.
Martyr Xiao Guobao
Comrade Xiao Guobao was born in a poor family in Nanjiang County, Sichuan Province in 1927. When he was young, his mother was insulted by the landlord, and his father was killed after struggling to resist. This left a deep mark on Xiao Guobao's soul. The landlord's family still Not wanting to let Xiao Guobao go, when he was twenty years old, the landlord colluded with the local security guard. 'Sold' to the Kuomintang, Hu Zongnan's troops.
In the Kuomintang army, because he had no money or background, he was often bullied and could not even eat enough.
During the Battle of Chengdu , he resolutely left the Kuomintang and joined the People's Liberation Army. Due to his bravery in combat, he was honored to join the party a year later.
Chengdu Battle
He said: "It was the party that gave me the dignity of a human being and gave me a second life. Liberating the whole of China and liberating my hometown in the southwest will be my lifelong pursuit!"
After the death of Comrade Xiao Guobao, the 140th Regiment pursued He was awarded the title of "First Class Combat Hero". "Xiao Guobao Hero Company", let his spirit live on forever!
Xiao Guobao Martyrs Cemetery
The first half of Xiao Guobao's life was gloomy, oppressed by the landlords and the Kuomintang. After joining the Communist Party, his life was infinitely bright, and he fulfilled his slogan "Liberate the whole of China, liberate his hometown in southwest China!" "
Xiao Guobao's heroic deeds are worth remembering. He is also one of countless ordinary people, but when facing danger, he can risk his own life for New China and burst out unimaginable power. He is worth learning from.
It is precisely because of heroes like Xiao Guobao that banditry in the southwest can be eliminated, making everything in the southwest full of vitality and hope. Countless farmers have been allocated land under the leadership of the party and no longer starve. Live with peace of mind and let the Kuomintang's shameless fantasy of "Taiwan Island on land" disappear.
