In May 1928, shortly after Jinggangshan met with , The Special Service Company of the Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army was established. This unit was the predecessor of the later Central Guard Corps .
Whether it is the spy company, the Central Security Corps in the war years, and later the Central Security Corps (for the convenience of reading, they are all called the "Central Security Corps"), their mission is to defend the security of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission.
In the war years, most of the soldiers of the guard regiment were drawn from the combat troops. Because of this, a problem occurred in the guard regiment: Everyone felt that doing guard work in the rear was not as good as fighting with the enemy on the front line, so they couldn't calm down in their minds.
Ye Jianying After knowing this situation, he held a full delegation meeting to personally do ideological work for the soldiers.
Martyman Ye Jianying
Ye Jianying asked the soldiers of the guard regiment: "Can you have no head?"
"No!" The soldiers answered in unison.
Ye Jianying then said: "Yes, people cannot do without a head, and the party cannot do without a head, The Party Central Committee is the Party's head ! If we do not have the leadership of the Party Central Committee, can we defeat the enemy? Now, although we are not on the front line to kill the enemy, we can protect the Party Central Committee command the people of the whole country to kill the enemy and fight the Japanese. Do you think the guard regiment is important?"
The soldiers answered in unison: "Important!"
After doing ideological work, the soldiers of the Central Guard regiment realized the importance of their work. From then on, from Jinggangshan to Baotashan , from Xibaipo to Beijing city , the soldiers of the Central Guard Regiment have always completed the tasks assigned to them by the Party and the people with the idea of "swearing to the death to defend the Party Central Committee".
Guard warriors in the war era
Many people may think: Since it is to protect the safety of the Party Central Committee, the equipment of the guard regiment must be the best.
is not the case. In the war years, our people's army has always faced the problems of backward equipment and shortage of materials. The weapons and equipment of the Central Guard Regiment are not only not as good as we imagined, but are even worse than those of other troops.
Why is this?
1947, Chen Geng, then commander of the Fourth Column of the Taiyue Military Region, came to Xiaohe Village in Jingbian, northern Shaanxi to prepare to attend the enlarged meeting of the CPC Central Committee (First Committee).
At that time, it was during the transition to northern Shaanxi. In order to delay Hu Zongnan's troops, Chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi and other central leaders stayed in northern Shaanxi with a few troops.
Chen Geng is very worried about the safety of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao. In Xiaohe Village, he and the company commander of the Pistol Company of the Guard Corps, Gao Fuyou , and asked Gao Fuyou: "Company Commander Gao, how many people do you have?"
Gao Fuyou replied: "More than a hundred people."
"What about the weapon?" Chen Geng continued to ask.
"There are 12 machine guns , 24 submachine guns , and the rest each has a short gun. This is an important firearm , and each person has a big knife!" Gao Fu said proudly-in the entire guard regiment, the firepower of the pistol company he led is the strongest.
However, Chen Geng was not satisfied. He immediately asked: "What's the problem?"
This question asked Gao Fu's "pain point".
Chen Geng
Several months ago, Chiang Kai-shek sent more than a dozen planes to bomb over Yan'an, which posed a huge threat to the personal safety of Chairman Mao and other central leaders.However, Yan'an not only has no aircraft that can compete with enemy planes, but also does not have an anti-aircraft gun that can knock down the plane.
had no choice but to bring the soldiers of the Central Guard Regiment to set up anti-aircraft machine gun on the ground to fight back against the bombing of enemy planes.
Fortunately, although the range of anti-aircraft machine guns is not far, they can still deal with those low-altitude bombers. In addition, the soldiers of the Guard Regiment kept in mind the mission of "defending the Party Central Committee" and each had a ruthless spirit. They ignored their own safety and waited until the enemy planes flew very low before firing. This scared the bombers so much that they did not dare to fly at low altitude.
After this incident, is aware of the importance of weapons and equipment : Although the members of the guard regiment are brave and absolutely loyal in their thoughts, backward weapons and equipment can sometimes miss big things! If we can replace with more advanced weapons and equipment, we will definitely be able to better complete the task of defending the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao.
Yan'an
Thinking of this, Gao Fuyou poured "bitter" to Chen Geng: "Commander Chen, you don't know, some of our pistols cannot be fired, and some have no bullets..."
Chen Geng heard Gao Fuyou's words, thought for a while, and said: "Let's do this, we seized many American carbines, and gave you 150. Is your company enough?"
Gao Fuyou was so excited when he heard this: the carbines are light, have a long range, and have a lot of firepower. If everyone in the company has one, then the combat power will be greatly enhanced!
He held Chen Geng's hand excitedly and said repeatedly: "Enough, enough!" However, he quickly realized a problem, put away his excited expression, and said with a bitter face: "I am willing to ask for a carbine, but I can't make the decision!"
Chen Geng asked: "Then who can make the decision? Can you tell your leader Wu?"
Chen Geng asked: "Then who can make the decision? Is it okay to talk to you Captain Wu?"
html ml0 Gao Fuyou said: "Our leader will definitely agree, but I'm afraid he can't make the decision, so he needs the command leader to agree."Chen Geng heard this, put his hands on his waist, laughed happily, and then patted Gao Fuyou's shoulder: "This is easy, you can wait and hear the good news!"
Gao Fuyou saw Chen Geng's confident look and felt that this was 80% or more, and couldn't help laughing.
A few days later, Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai, Ren Bishi, Chen Geng and others were talking about the war under the pergola in the yard, and Gao Fuyou was also on the side guards.
1947, Chairman Mao was in Xiaohe Village, Jingbian, Shaanxi,
Suddenly, Chen Geng pointed at Gao Fuyou inadvertently and said: "I agreed with this company commander Gao, we will give each of the pistol company a carbine, and the other companies will give some, and they will be sent to them soon..."
Chairman Mao heard this, but did not answer Chen Geng's words, but asked Gao Fuyou slowly: "Gao Fuyou, he gives it, do you want it?"
Chairman Mao said this, his expression and tone were very calm, but Gao Fuyou still heard Chairman Mao's attitude: disagree!
He was a little confused: It would be fine if the equipment was poor before, but there was no condition to replace it. Now that there is a condition to replace it, why don’t you let it be? However, in front of so many central leaders, he did not dare to say anything.
Chairman Mao seemed to know Gao Fuyou’s thoughts, and said to Gao Fuyou earnestly: "They fight on the front line every day, and good weapons can be used. We don’t fight here. Why do you want other people’s guns? You can’t ask for guns from them, and you can take them from the enemy by yourself."
Gao Fuyou heard this and was a little discouraged: We don’t go to the front line, and we don’t have a chance to fight, where can we seize the enemy’s guns?
Chen Geng was unwilling to give up and still helped Gao Fuyou to fight: "I have sent a telegram, and they will send it soon." Obviously, he wanted to say that "the raw rice has been made into cooked rice" and tried to get the approval of Chairman Mao.
Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao became serious and said loudly: "Do you dare? "
When Chen Geng heard Chairman Mao's words, he couldn't hold on anymore.
At this time, Chairman Mao said to Gao Fuyou again: "If you dare to ask for a gun, I will remove you from your position! "
Now, even if Gao Fuyou wanted those carbines again, he would not dare to think about it anymore.
Later, although Chen Geng and Gao Fuyou were still thinking about "save the country in a curve" and got the weapon into the pistol company through the Jin-Cha-Hebei base, they did not succeed for various reasons.
Chairman Mao disagreed with Chen Geng sending better weapons and equipment to the Central Guard Corps, because In his opinion, , the ones who really need excellent weapons and equipment are those soldiers who fight bloody on the front line. They need to face the enemy, and without good weapons will lead to greater sacrifices. Besides, as long as the front line wins the war, the rear will be safe, and naturally there will be no need for excellent weapons and equipment.
This incident also gave Gao Fuyou, the company commander of the pistol company, a new understanding: in order to ensure the front line, Chairman Mao put his safety and life and death aside as a responsibility for the protection. Working soldiers should keep their mission in mind. When necessary, they must ensure that they complete the task even if they sacrifice themselves.
is like this. Pistol Company and the soldiers of the Central Guard Regiment successfully survived the Shaanxi-North Shaanxi War and Xibaipo periods with their old and backward equipment until they entered Beijing.
Pingjin Battle is coming to an end, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China planned to relocate to Beiping html l2. But at that time, the enemy spies were very complicated. Not only did the KMT secret service, but there were also the North China "Suppression Headquarters" and Yan Xishan secret service. Even spies from Britain, the United States and other countries were lurking in Beiping City.
At that time, the total population of Beiping City was only more than 1.6 million, and there were nearly 20,000 enemy spies, and there were one spy among almost 80 people.
Moreover, some bandits were concentrated in the suburbs of Beiping. , thieves, landlords returning home team members, and the Kuomintang straitors, these unstable elements gather together and often create trouble, which also poses certain threats to the security of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
How to ensure the safety of the Party Central Committee after entering the city?
Li Kenong, who is responsible for the central intelligence and security protection work, suggested establishing a plainclothes security team , combines open and secret security work.
Zhou Enlai agreed with Li Kenong's suggestion. In this way, before entering Peking, a red plainclothes security team with more than 150 people was established. The captain was Gao Fuyou, the commander of the pistol company of the Central Guard Regiment.
The plainclothes security team at this time was still behind in weapons and equipment, and some were still using the "Type 38" long pole rifle, even the captain Gao Fuyou, instructor Jiao Wanyou and others used it. They are also old guns issued in the Central Guard Corps before.
Since it is a plainclothes guard team, it is definitely not convenient to use the long gun anymore. Therefore, Li Kenong sent a batch of easy-to-carry American-made revolver , and equipped each member of the team with a .
. The players with new weapons are very excited. They were ready to meet new challenges with higher skills. After a period of hard shooting skills training, they officially started working.

Later, the plainclothes security team cooperated closely with the public security department. After a series of anti-Team fights against the tyrants, many enemy special forces attempted to create assassination terrorist activities, which significantly improved the social security in Peking City and successfully completed the glorious mission of defending the red regime.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the central security agency was expanded. The code name of the new central security regiment is the familiar "8341 Force ". Their main task is to take on the guard tasks of the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
From 1928, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu personally established the secret service company of the Red Fourth Army, to the Central Security Regiment during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the plainclothes Guard on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and later the Central Security Regiment. For decades, these officers and soldiers responsible for defending the Party Central Committee have always kept their mission in mind, fulfilled their duties, and lived up to the trust and expectations of the Party and the people.
Chairman Mao has a famous article " Serving the People ", which initially was an impromptu speech at the memorial service of Zhang Side, a soldier of the Central Guard Corps.
Chairman Mao personally attended the memorial service of ordinary soldiers Zhang Side
Although Zhang Side is just an ordinary soldier in the guard squad, he is simple, sincere, selfless, and righteous. He is a microcosm of all the soldiers of the guard group, the most representative member of the advanced masses of the Communist Party of China, and an ordinary hero and the hero of the people.
In Chairman Mao’s view, can defeat the enemy more than an excellent weapon. What wins the support of the people is the thought and the spirit of "serving the people".
"Serve the people", this is the most cherished thing in Chairman Mao's life, and it is also the most fundamental secret for the Communist Party of China to achieve all success!
