Wanda Mountain Suppression of Bandits

(Continued from the previous issue)

Summer mornings always come so early. It’s just three o’clock and it’s really bright. The sun on the girl’s face rises blushingly, and she falls asleep. The birds woke up after a night, and they began to sing in the morning facing the sun, chirping, one after another, harmoniously and sweetly.

The water of Naoli River flows loudly, as if telling a moving story, and also like singing a heroic hymn, which will never stop spreading into the distance.

The soldiers who had been baptized by yesterday's battle were standing on the grass by the river, ready to go.

Wang Yong stood in front of the team and said in a loud voice: "Comrades, Yu Dianchang's bandit team has been weakened by the battle yesterday, but they are still very strong. Today we will defeat the bandit team in one go and liberate Baoqing City. Today we will The bandits attacking Baoqing were divided into three routes. The political commissar of the first route led the first battalion to march from the east road and approach the east gate of Baoqing through the third, second and first roads of the river. If you encounter bandits on the road, you must defeat them all. "

" On the second route, I led the Second Battalion and the Artillery Battalion to attack from the front, passing through Taipinggou and Xumajiao (now Xuma Village, Jiaxinzi Township, Baoqing County) and went straight to the south gate of Baoqing. "

" On the third route. The chief of staff led them from Taipinggou to Xiaochengzi and Lishugou to approach the west gate of Baoqing County. The bandits defending the city were stubbornly resisting and attacked from three sides. They must capture Baoqing at any cost and wipe out the bandits in the city."

" Resolutely liberate Baoqing! "

" Annihilate the enemies of Baoqing and destroy the bandits of Baoqing! "

The oath echoed on the banks of the Naoli River and in the mountains and forests.

The three groups of people quickly moved northward according to their respective marching routes. The 719th Regiment did not encounter any obstruction along the way. According to their respective marching routes, they successfully arrived at Baoqing County outside Lanbang Mountain.

At this time, the city of Baoqing County was feeling lonely. The people from the Kuomintang County Party Headquarters had fled, the gangsters from the Public Security Corps had fled, and the people from the Maintenance Council and the Staff Council had also fled. The 719th Regiment successfully entered Baoqing. On that day, Ma Gongpu, Zhang Ke, Wang Zhenglin, Xiao Feng, Zhao Hong, Li Min, Yang Shen, and Yang Baoshan formed the Baoqing County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, known to the outside world as the Democracy Movement Committee. Ma Gongpu was the secretary, Wang Zhenglin was the social minister, and Li Min was the organization minister. , Yang Shen was appointed as the Propaganda Minister, and Xiao Feng was appointed as the Secretary of the County Working Committee. At the same time, the democratic government of Baoqing County was established, and Zhang Ke was appointed acting county magistrate.

On July 3, 1946, Zhang Ke, acting county magistrate of Baoqing County Democratic Government, issued Proclamation No. 1, urging the remaining bandits to immediately confess and surrender to the democratic government in order to seek leniency from the people's government, and called on the masses to expose and report the hidden criminals. Stubborn bandit.

At that time, the people in Baoqing around Lanbang Mountain were influenced by the reactionary propaganda and influence of Kuomintang elements Zhang Jiefan, Guo Jingxiu and others, and they did not dare to approach the Communist Party for fear of "communists sharing their wives." In order to dispel the people's "fear of communism", encourage the people to participate in political establishment, and consolidate the new democratic political power, the 719th Regiment Bandit Suppression Force, the Baoqing County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Baoqing County Ethnic Government jointly held a commemoration of "July 7. "Seventh" Ninth Anniversary Conference. The venue was located at Nanmenli Square. Thousands of people from all walks of life in Baoqing and anti-bandit troops attended the conference. A large banner "Baoqing County Commemorates the Ninth Anniversary of July 7th" was hung high at the venue, and wooden slogans were hung around the venue, which read: "Build a peaceful, democratic and prosperous new Baoqing."

"Resolutely safeguard the people Live and work in peace and contentment! "

" Completely eradicate Hu bandits traitor agents! "

" Officers and soldiers who join the bandits, regardless of their position, will be guaranteed the safety of their lives and property and be given a path to rehabilitation as long as they repent and surrender their weapons. "

" The democratic coalition is the army of the people of Northeast China, and the people support their own army! "

"The democratic government serves the people loyally, and the people support their own government! "

This is a stable political situation and a stable meeting of the people. Before the

meeting, some people wanted to see what the Communist Party was like and whether it was a "red-haired monster" as some people said. Some people came here just for fun, and many people came here because they were skeptical of the Communist Party.After they listened to the speech of Zhang Haolin, the political commissar of the 719th regiment, and the speeches of county leaders such as Ma Gongpu and Zhang Ke, and after reading the "Message to Baoqing Compatriots" issued by the Political Department of the 359th Brigade and the Political Department of the Hejiang Military Region, After understanding the basic policies of the democratic government and the basic attitude towards bandits, I felt reassured. After the meeting, the people rushed to tell each other and enthusiastically promoted the policies of the party and the government. Some hidden bandits who joined the bandit team took the initiative to hand over their guns to the local government after learning about the government's policy. Some fathers dragged their sons who had been bandits, and their wives dragged their husbands who had been bandits to the government to confess. Within a few days, more than 70 bandits surrendered, and they all received leniency from the democratic government.

For a time, those stubborn bandits who refused to surrender became frightened and fled in all directions. In front of the awakened people, they became street rats and could not hide.
