"Sir, how can you commend a gambler? Are you wrong?"
On January 20, 1949, several Tianjin gentry and masses came to the Tianjin Military Control Commission to express their dissatisfaction to the person in charge there.
The reason is very simple. After Tianjin's liberation on January 15, the People's Liberation Army established the Military Control Commission to report on the newspaper to commend the meritorious personnel who liberated Tianjin. A gambler named Yan Shubing was on the list, which gave great opinions from insiders.
As a dentist, Yan Shubing became obsessed with gambling three years ago and went to play cards every day, but ended up in debt and losing all his money. What's more serious is that this person hangs with the Kuomintang spies all day long, exercising rock-paper-scissors every day, and whispering cups every day. How could such a bad element as
be commended by the Military Control Commission? Is the People's Liberation Army blinded?
After listening to everyone's reaction, the leaders of the Military Control Commission asked everyone to sit down and told a story to uncover the mystery for everyone.
At dusk on June 30, 1943, dark clouds were covered with drizzle.
Xinhai County, Hebei Province (later renamed Huanghua County to commemorate General Huanghua General) The main hall of Sun Binghuai, a certain unit of the Eighth Route Army, is being held. The meeting was Huang Hua, deputy brigade commander of the 6th Brigade of the 115th Division and commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region.
The sky is getting darker and the light in the house is getting darker. Huang Hua said to the guard: "Xiao Liu, this dark and can't hold a meeting. You can borrow an oil lamp from your fellow villager's house."
Xiao Liu heard this and went out immediately.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Yunfeng, an operational staff officer of the Division Command, suddenly walked in and saluted Huang Hua, saying that he needed to report something.
Since it is a meeting of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, Zhou Yunfeng is a district and has nothing to do with the meeting. So Huang Hua told the other party to go to the next door to rest first and then listen to his report after the meeting. Zhou Yunfeng said "Okay", while leaning out his head and looking out the window. When he walked to the door of the house, he suddenly coughed loudly...
At this moment, several burly men in straw raincoats broke in, all holding weapons.
The opponent was murderous. Huang Hua, who had rich combat experience, noticed something was wrong and used the pistol in his waist at lightning speed, but it was still half a beat slower.
The burly men came prepared. When they entered the house, all the guns were turned on. Before Huang Hua could reach the gun at his waist, the other party's guns rang, like a blow-out bean. After a burst of strafing, twelve comrades in the house fell into a pool of blood. Among them, General Huang Hua and Chief of Staff Lu Chengdao and other 8 people died on the spot, and four other comrades were seriously injured.
The guard who came back from borrowing the oil lamp heard the gunshot and immediately ran to the conference room, and a gunfight broke out with the assassins on the way. During the battle, a guard soldier threw two grenades at the assassin, killing two of them. Seeing this, the other assassins hurriedly fled into the woods and disappeared into the vast night.
At this time, the director of the political department who had something to go out Liu Xianquan came back, and helped Qi Yaoting, the communications website of the Third Division Command, who was lying in a pool of blood, and hurriedly asked, "Website Director Qi, who is the assassin?"
Qi Yaoting said in a weak voice: "Pistol Team... Feng Guankui..." Before he finished speaking, he fell into a coma.
Liu Xianquan's head buzzed and suddenly became big: Could it be that this assassination case is related to him? After receiving the news, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar of 115 Division, and Li Yu, deputy political commissar of the military region, were extremely shocked. In the history of our army, there are few cases of assassination of senior generals. In addition to the 1941 Anhui Incident, the leaders of the New Fourth Army, Xiang Ying, Zhou Zikun and others, who were killed by the traitors Liu Houzhong, the second serious incident of such a kind.
The news reached Yan'an. Mao Zedong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case and to capture the murderer.
Who was the assassin who killed Huang Hua?
At this time, the communication webmaster Qi Yaoting had been rescued. He told Luo Ronghuan that one of the people who shot at that time was Feng Guankui, the captain of the pistol team. Qi Yaoting also said that Zhou Yunfeng was also suspicious.
Just as Zhou Yunfeng came to the military region to inquire about the news, and Luo Ronghuan immediately ordered him to be arrested.Zhou Yunfeng immediately confessed that the organizer and executor of the assassination operation was Feng Guankui.
Feng Guankui was originally a bandit who robbed the family and only defected to the Eighth Route Army after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Originally, there was no order of patriotism. As long as you were sincere in fighting against Japan, the Eighth Route Army would warmly welcome you no matter what you did in the past. In , Jinchaji Military Region , there are many examples of bandits surrendering to the Eighth Route Army, and most of them can reform themselves, say goodbye to the past, go to the right path, and become anti-Japanese heroes.
Feng Guankui joined the Eighth Route Army, because of his good shooting skills, he was promoted to the Pistol Captain of the Military Region Command. However, after joining the Eighth Route Army, Feng Guankui did not say goodbye to himself in the past, but instead remained unchanged, used military discipline as a joke, and often went out to harm the people secretly. A black sheep like
should be cleaned up decisively. However, Xing Renfu, commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region and commander of the 6th Brigade, was very protective of his shortcomings and he always took advantage of him.
In this way, Feng Guankui became Xing Renfu's right-hand man and was loyal to him.
However, Feng Guankui and Deputy Commander Huang Hua have no grudges and no grudges, and he does not have such courage to assassinate Huang Hua. To put it bluntly, there must be someone behind Feng Guankui.
So, who was he under? Luo Ronghuan and Liu Xianquan fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the leader of the Independent Corps of the 6th Brigade 6 Feng Dingping and political commissar Yao Changzhou sent a telegram: Xing Renfu surrendered to the enemy, and he also asked them to be traitors together!
Luo Ronghuan was shocked after receiving the report. After discussing with Li Yu, he decided to remain calm and make arrangements in secret to avoid alarming the enemy. At the same time, the Hebei-Shandong Border Party Committee, Administrative Office and Military Region were notified to inform the fact that Xing Renfu was rebellious, so as not to be deceived by Xing Renfu.
At this time, the masses reported that after Feng Guankui killed Huang Hua, he ran to Wangzi Island where Xing Renfu was, where he was free and easy. The question is, one is the commander and the other is the deputy commander. The two are comrades in the same trench. Why did Xing Renfu kill Huang Hua?
Although Xing Renfu has joined the party in name, he has not kept up in thought, but has degenerated and deteriorated. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1929, and it was indeed early enough, and he joined the party only one year later than General Peng. Later, Xing Renfu was engaged in military transportation work in the Pingjin area. He had strong work ability and made outstanding contributions.
3 months after the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, Xing Renfu served as the commander of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army under the arrangement of the party organization. At the end of the same year, the National Salvation Army was renamed the "Thirty-first Guerrilla Detachment".
Xing Renfu led the 31st Detachment to win many battles in the following year and became famous. Because of this, Xing Renfu was recognized by his superiors and his position was gradually promoted, from commander of the "Eighth Route Army Hebei-Shandong Border Region Guerrilla Detachment" (Pingjin Detachment) to captain of the regular army (Sixth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army East Advance Advance Column).
In May 1938, after the main force of the Eighth Route Army came to Hebei-Shandong Border Region , Xing Renfu was appointed as the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Hebei-Shandong Border Region and the commander of the Hebei-Shandong Border Region.
1939, Xing Renfu was promoted to another level and served as commander of the Fourth Military Sub-district of Western Shandong.
In February 1941, the Sixth Detachment was upgraded to the 6th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and Xing Renfu took office as the brigade commander. After the establishment of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, his superiors appointed him as the commander of the military region.
It can be seen that Xing Renfu has a set of war, made many military achievements, and made considerable contributions. As long as he develops step by step, he will have a bright future.
We cannot become bad because of a person. All his previous contributions have been written off, or he is not a good person at all, and they are all gangsters, bandits and bad guys. Even if Xing Renfu makes friends with bad people, he is to unite all those who can be united and to carry out united front work.
The problem is that as more and more meritorious achievements and more fame become more and more, Xing Renfu is a little elated and begins to pursue pleasure. Moreover, Xing Renfu has a fatal weakness, that is, treating the troops as the "Xing family army", pulling the mountains and forming gangs. What's even more unreasonable is that he began to greed for enjoyment and set up a small treasury for his personal squandering.
Xing Renfu's life is becoming increasingly corrupt. He not only eats and drinks all day long, but also is lustful. When he already has a wife, he married a propagandist named Song Kuiling from the 6th Brigade as his concubine.
xing Renfu and his wife
the former anti-Japanese hero has deteriorated.
Xing Renfu forgot one thing, that is, all his achievements were achieved under the leadership of the Party. I am just a drop of water, and the party is the ocean. Leaving the party, I am nothing.
As Xing Renfu's personal ambition expands, he also slid into the abyss step by step.
In this case, in March 1943, the superior decided to save him. The former deputy commander Huang Hua was appointed as the commander of the Eighth Route Army Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region, and Xing Renfu became the deputy. Two months later, the superior notified Xing Renfu to study in Yan'an.
Xing Renfu quit this time. He felt that it was Huang Hua's arrival that made him lose control of the troops and focused his resentment on General Huang Hua.
In fact, Huang Hua does perform better than Xing Renfu. Although both of them joined the party in the same year, Huang Hua lives a simple life, eats and lives with soldiers, and does not make it special. In this way, Huang Hua's prestige is naturally higher than Xing Renfu who pursues enjoyment and is arrogant.
Huang Hua replaced Xing Renfu by himself, so he can't blame others. However, Xing Renfu couldn't figure it out. He received a notice from the organization that he was slow to leave on the grounds of being uncomfortable and unsafe on the road.
He ignored the opposition and criticism of other comrades and insisted on building a deserted island (Wangzi Island) into his own comfort zone, and hid on the island with his wife and confidants to enjoy it.
But since the organization has issued a notice and asked him to study, Xing Renfu himself knows that he cannot delay indefinitely.
doesn’t want to go and can’t delay it. What should I do? He could only secretly kill the "mortal enemy" Huang Hua. Xing Renfu naively thought that if he killed Huang Hua, he could control the troops and take the initiative. If the organization recognizes it, then continue to be the Eighth Route Army; otherwise, you will surrender to the Japanese and become a traitor.
Huang Hua also gradually felt that Xing Renfu was going to be unfavorable to him, but he did not make the matter public based on the overall situation of uniting cadres. He once said to the political commissar of the Hebei-Shandong Border Military Region: "My personal safety is small. I am always worried that he (Xing Renfu) will lead the troops on the evil path one day, and the organization's losses will be too great."
Huang Hua's tolerance did not exchange for Xing Renfu's kindness, and eventually instructed Feng Guankui to commit the assassination. Not only that, Xing Renfu also attempted to seize and murder other cadres before the truth was revealed, and then recruit troops to surrender to the enemy.
Hua
The fact has come to this point, and the murderer must pay the price. In order to avoid greater casualties, Luo Ronghuan decided to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and transferred Xing Renfu from Wangzi Island in the name of a meeting.
Xing Renfu was smart and thought his superiors had not discovered his crime, so he decided to go to a meeting. But when he was about to reach the meeting place, he hesitated again. He stopped and watched in the village 5 kilometers away from the venue. Luo Ronghuan learned the news and decided to send a company to quietly surround Xing Renfu.
Unexpectedly, there was a guy in the operation team who was Xing Renfu's subordinate who deliberately "got out of trouble" to report the news to the other party, alerting the enemy, and let Xing Renfu run away. However, this also disrupted Xing Renfu's plan to lead the team to surrender to the enemy and "make meritorious service" because he did not bring one army and one soldier, and he would not be reused when he went to the Japanese.
In desperation, Xing Renfu had to escape to Tianjin with his little wife Song Kuiling and a very small number of personal entourages in July 1943. When he arrived in Tianjin, he was in trouble without any skills and forced him to surrender to the Japanese invaders.
In order to please the Japanese, he personally wrote materials such as "Loyalty to the Emperor" and "Plan to Suppress the Communist Party and Destroy the Bandits".
He betrayed the operation of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army in the Hebei-Shandong Border Region, organizational structure, weapons and equipment, and troop allocation in the materials, in exchange for the black hat of the commander of the six counties in Jinnan.
After the Japanese invaders surrendered in 1945, Xing Renfu, who had no bottom line, dressed himself up as an anti-Japanese hero. He transformed himself into a pseudonym Luozhen, and joined the Kuomintang's first-level major team leader, a specialist and security commander of the Third Special Office of the Hebei Province.
For several years, our party has been chasing this traitor. After learning about his movements, the Eighth Division of Jizhong decided to send a comrade named Yan Shubing to take on the task of eliminating traitors.
Yan Shubing is from Jiaohe County, Hebei Province. He is engaged in underground secret work for our party in the name of opening a dental clinic in Tianjin. Yan Shubing was loyal to the party and attached great importance to it after receiving the task, and decided to get rid of the traitors at all costs.
However, Xing Renfu has a high position and high security level, so it is not easy to get rid of him. It is obviously not possible to force him. He can only approach him and find an opportunity to attack him secretly.
Yan Shubing runs dentistry and has a wide connection and makes friends with middle and upper-class people in the local society. Among his friends, there is a lawyer named Zhou Dakui. His son Zhou Pingzhi works in the Kuomintang army and often plays numbness with Xing Renfu.
Through Zhou Pingzhi, Yan Shubing met Xing Renfu.
Zhou Pingzhi told Yan Shubing that Xing Renfu was greedy for money and lustful, and was addicted to gambling as his life.
I can't bear to let my child go to trap the wolf. Yan Shubing gambles with the other party every day, and spared no expense in gambling, deliberately losing to Xing Renfu in order to gain his trust.
Xing Renfu really fell into the trap and arranged for Yan Shubing's younger brother to work in his headquarters, which gave him an extra eyewitness, creating favorable conditions for eliminating this traitor.
But Yan Shubing also paid a heavy price for this. No matter how big the property is, he can't stand losing money every day. He has lost all his money for three years and has been in heavy debt. Not only that, Yan Shubing's reputation was also ruined. In the eyes of his friends and neighbors, he was simply a gangster who was not doing his job. He gambled all day long and dating people who were not irrelevant. He was simply crazy.
From then on, his personality completely collapsed. His relatives sneered at him, friends stayed away from him, and neighbors scolded him behind his back.
In mid-January 1949, Tianjin was liberated, and Xing Renfu could not reach the level of going to Taiwan and was abandoned by his master, so he had to hide in a primary school in shame. He had long regarded Yan Shubing as a friend in distress, hoping that the other party could give him timely help and help him. Yan Shubing was overjoyed and immediately reported to the Military Control Commission, and Xing Renfu fell into the legal gate.
The Military Control Commission immediately commended Yan Shubing, but his neighbors were unhappy and felt that a bad gambler like Yan Shubing had a poor career and family management, so how could he be qualified to be commended? Everyone went to the Military Control Commission to give their opinions.
The head of the Military Control Commission had to kill Huang Hua. Yan Shubing talked about the party's elimination of traitors from beginning to end. After hearing this, everyone realized that the good man was wronged.
In 1952, after Xing Renfu was publicly tried, he was executed by firing a gun.
In order to commemorate General Huang Hua, Xinhai County, Hebei Province was renamed Huanghua County in 1945.
General Huang Hua's blood did not flow in vain, and the traitor was eventually punished, and the revolutionary cause he fought for was also successful. The general knows nothing in the world and can rest in peace.
