In March 1975, the last batch of war criminals in New China were also pardoned , including Huang Wei , who has been in for more than 70 years. has been twenty-seven years since he was captured .
During the past twenty-seven years, gradually changed his hostility and prejudice to Communist Party , and was gradually impressed by the mind and actions of the Communists.
After Taiwan learned that Huang Wei was pardoned, Chiang Kai-shek asked someone to bring him a message, asked him to settle in Taiwan, and promised to give him a 27-year salary.
But all of these were rejected by Huang Wei. Huang Wei said: "My life was saved by the Communist Party, and I cannot be ungrateful."
Huang Wei was captured
Huang Wei also accepted Marxism in his early days, and when he was a primary school teacher, he angered the local landlords and squire for promoting communism and was forced to leave his post and leave his hometown.
Later, with the help of his fellow villager and friend Fang Zhimin, he was admitted to the first phase of Whampoa Military Academy. finally became an outstanding graduate of the first phase of 1 with his own efforts, and because of his outstanding performance in the fight against warlords, he became the direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, Huang Wei performed well, and was a famous anti-Japanese general, and he was one of the few honest generals among the senior Kuomintang generals. But perhaps it was related to his education work. He firmly believed that "soldiers obey orders are their duty." Therefore, even if swung his sword against his compatriots, blood splashed on the battlefield, he was loyal to implementing the orders of Chiang Kai-shek's National Government.
It can be said that Huang Wei is very trusted and valued by Chiang Kai-shek. He does not form cliques or embezzle. There is also a kind of "orthodox thought" in . As long as it is Chiang Kai-shek's order, he will follow the order regardless of right or wrong, and will never raise any questions.
So, Huang Wei, a few loyal and honest subordinates who were born in Huangpu , were promoted very quickly. On the eve of Huaihai Battle , he was already the commander of the 12th Legion.
1948, the People's Liberation War entered the key strategic stage of to seize national liberation .
As the situation develops, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China launched the Huaihai Battle on on November 6.
Shortly after the battle went on, the Seventh Corps of Huang Baitao was surrounded by East China Field Army in Nianzhuang . After that, our Central Plains Field Army quickly occupied Suxian .
In order to recapture Suxian and remove the siege of Huang Baitao's Corps , Chiang Kai-shek ordered Huang Wei to lead the 12th Corps, the Sixth Corps and the Eighth Corps to advance north together.
However, these three corpses were strongly blocked by the East China Field Army during their marching. Before arrived at the designated location, they received news that all Huang Baitao's corps were annihilated and that Huang Baitao was killed.
The 12th Corps led by Huang Wei was surrounded by the Central Plains Field Army in Shuangduiji.
Although Chiang Kai-shek ordered Du Yuming to rescue quickly after learning that Huang Wei's corps were besieged, under the siege of our Central Plains Field Army and East China Field Army, Huang Wei's corps was still completely wiped out on December 15, and Huang Wei, commander of the 12th Corps of , was also captured.
"The Most Stubborn War Criminal" Huang Wei
After Huang Wei was captured, he did not register his real name and real position . He also had a fluke mentality and tried to get away with it.
However, soon Huang Wei identified by other captured soldiers and . After being identified by
, Huang Wei was detained alone. At first, he was very dissatisfied with the corps being annihilated and captured by himself. He couldn't understand , because his corps' weapons and equipment were all American, which was better than the PLA, and it was not a little better than the PLA, and the number of personnel was also more than that of the PLA. How could he lose?
But when Huang Wei heard that it was Chen Geng who defeated him, he felt relieved. He said very calmly: "I am convinced that I have never beaten Chen Geng in school.”
Although Huang Wei did not feel wronged about losing to Chen Geng, he did not admit any crimes such as using poison gas bombs in the war. He thought he was fighting for the country. What crimes did he have?
At best, he was just a defeated general who defeated the war. he firmly refused to admit that he was a war criminal.
At that time, the Huaihai Battle was still in progress. Our army mobilized captured Kuomintang generals to write letters of persuasion to his besieged colleagues such as Du Yuming. Almost all the captured generals signed. But Huang Wei refused to sign . He said : "I was incompetent when I was defeated and captured. I am a soldier. How could I persuade my colleagues to surrender? I will not be a traitor to the party and the country, and I will never surrender. "
At this time, Huang Wei held on to "Loyal ministers do not serve the second master" and his promise to Principal Jiang "If you fail, you will become a good man" . In his heart, only Chiang Kai-shek's National Government is the legal government , and the Communist Party is seizing power and is illegal, so he will never cooperate with any actions and behaviors of the Communist Party.
But at this time, Huang Wei never thought that he was in the Kuomintang side. Has been on the "List of Dead" and even the memorial service has been held. .
At the end of January 1949, Peacefully liberated , and Huang Wei's detention center moved to the Beijing Gongdelin War Criminals Management Office.
In the War Criminals Management Office, in order to allow war criminals to change their minds as soon as possible, the management staff of the management office will regularly organize war criminals to conduct political studies and labor reforms , and require all prisoners in detention to write their learning experience after political study, and regularly report their own ideological situation html l4.
Some senior Kuomintang generals later made great progress in their political learning ideas. They have greatly changed their attitude towards civil war and some practices of the Kuomintang government. They will actively ask for reading some works by Chairman Mao Zedong. After reading , they will also write reading experiences . I heard that a senior general wrote tens of thousands of words of experience. After obtaining the approval of the management office, he also gave his experiences to all war criminals at the study meeting. has a good learning effect .
However, Huang Wei is very despised by his colleagues' behaviors. He regards these colleagues as traitors. He is very resistant to political learning. He either deaf ears when others share their learning experiences, or or provocative abuse to disrupt classroom order. .
Huang Wei not only resists political learning , but even such a small thing as shaving can rise to the height of two parties. What do you say: "The beards that grow in the Kuomintang cannot be shaved off in the Communist prison. "
Huang Wei is a well-known "big thorn" in the management office. The name has been made.
My life was saved by the Communist Party
1952, Huang Wei was often depressed due to the long-term resistance to transformation of , and his mood was often depressed, resulting in a decline in body immunity. Five types of html ml5 tuberculosis relapsed. The most serious one is that peritoneal tuberculosis has developed into peritonitis . Ascites cause his skin below his lower abdomen to be swollen and shiny. He can't sit or stand at all, and can only lie down.
Management Office did not give up his treatment because of Huang Wei's cooperation with the transformation. He was sent to Fuxing Hospital for hospitalization. .
Huang Wei's five tuberculosis all have to rely on a large amount of long-term injection of streptomycin or penicillin to treat . The key is that these two mycins did not have the production conditions in China at that time, and could only be obtained by import.
At that time, there were two kinds of mycin made by the Soviet Union, the United States and the United Kingdom on the market. The price of the Soviet Union was cheap, but the effect was The result is not very good. The side effects are still big.
The US and UK are more effective and have small side effects, but they are difficult to buy. If you want to buy, you can only go to Hong Kong.
incident alarmed Premier Zhou Enlai. In order to allow Huang Wei to receive timely and effective treatment, the central government approved it to go to Hong Kong to buy medicines. also used the country's foreign exchange reserves and gold .
According to Huang Wei's recollection: When his illness was the most serious, he needed to inject six penicillin a day. That time, he used medicine for nearly two months. The cost of medicine was astronomical at that time.
But at first, Huang Wei's on the hospital bed was still stubborn , and his idea was still : "The Communist Party has worked so hard to cure me, but I want me to confess my guilt, and I want me to surrender and regret it."
But gradually, as time went by, Huang Wei's thought changed , because he was completely unable to take care of himself. Since he was lying on the hospital bed, the management staff of the management office took care of his food, drink, defecation and sensation, and he had been lying for four years.
For four years, the managers took care of him meticulously and never disliked him . Even if his relatives were asked to take care of him, they would probably not be so attentive after a long time. Huang Wei was a little moved by because he knew very well how the Kuomintang treated him after he captured the Communist Party during the war.
In addition to buying imported drugs for Huang Wei to treat diseases, our party also takes special care of his diet. In order to improve his immunity, provides nutritious foods such as milk, meat, eggs, etc. every day, even in difficult times, it has not been interrupted. You must know that in difficult times, our country's leaders do not eat meat or fine grains, just like the people, to overcome difficulties with the people.
shows that the Communist Party treats even extremely evil war criminals.
Huang Wei's several tuberculosis were basically cured after full treatment. After his body recovered slowly, the doctor approved him to be discharged from the hospital and to participate in labor exercise appropriately.
After returning to the management office, Huang Wei's attitude changed. He actively participated in study and labor, and everything was developing in a positive direction. However, something that happened at the end of 1955 made Huang Wei's attitude recur.
At that time, the central government was planning an amnesty for war criminals. It was originally intended to pardon a group of war criminals with relatively light crimes, but after many discussions and discussions among people from all walks of life, the final conclusion of was: the timing is not right.
But the news that the government is preparing to deal with war criminals has been announced in the management office, but it was left unresolved. People like Huang Wei, who are already stubborn and have just changed their minds, have the first thought in the face of this situation. The government's words are not kept in mind, and as a result, the thoughts have returned to the stage of insisting on " Wen Tianxiang National Honesty" .
Just like that, Huang Wei's thoughts repeated again and again. It was not until March 1975 that the last batch of war criminals were all pardoned that Huang Wei walked out of the management office. At this time, it had been twenty-seven years since he entered the war criminal management office, and he had also experienced the twists and turns of several management offices. When Huang Wei received the amnesty notice, , the most stubborn war criminal, couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears.
After the pardon, Huang Wei, who was already in his seventies, wanted to return to his hometown to retire, but the central government specifically approved him to stay in Beijing to work and settle down, with a monthly salary of 200 yuan. Huang Wei accepted the sincerity of the central government and stayed in Beijing to work and live with peace of mind.
After Taiwan learned that Huang Wei was pardoned, Chiang Kai-shek asked someone to bring him a message: inviting him to settle in Taiwan, and promised to repay his 27-year salary as the lieutenant general's treatment.
Regarding Taiwan’s call, Huang Wei responded firmly to : "My life is saved by the Communist Party. The Communist Party has recreated me and has kindness to my whole family. I cannot be an ungrateful villain." After
, Huang Wei devoted the rest of his life to in the research of cultural and historical work and the cause of reunification of the motherland.
After achieving three connections in Taiwan and mainland China, Taiwan invited Huang Wei to visit Taiwan. Huang Wei happily agreed. He wanted to take the opportunity to meet with his old friends in Taiwan and talk about , and also wanted to worship the tombs of Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng and others who were grateful for their grace. The most important thing about is to make some efforts for the unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
However, after more than half a year of preparations for Taiwan and the procedures have been completed, Huang Wei died of heart disease on March 20, 1989 at the age of 85 due to overwork.
Conclusion:
Huang Wei, a stubborn , who can be called a "stubborn stone", was finally influenced by our party's 27 years of education and transformation, and finally devoted himself to the development and construction of New China and the unification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. This fully demonstrates that our party's broad mind is that even if he treats enemies who are extremely guilty, he can win people with virtue. and even the most stubborn war criminals can transform the most thoroughly.
