April 29, 1951, with a gunshot, a generation of gangster Usman ended his life.
When talking about Usman before 1944, some people would use "Batur" to describe him. But when Usman was tried by the people in 1951, he was a heinous bandit leader in the eyes of the people.
Usman was shot and executed
The span from hero to bandit is not small. In order to capture Usman, the newly established New China not only dispatched nearly 10,000 People's Liberation Army, but even used tank troops to cross three provinces to strive to eliminate it in one fell swoop.
So, how did Usman fall from a "hero" to a bandit? What crimes have he committed? What did he go through in the process of arresting him?
Today we will take a look at the story of the bandit Usman.
Usman, born in 1895, has a full name Usman Ali, Kazakh (some say Kyrgyz people), Kashgar people in Xinjiang, and their early families also took nomadic careers like most local people. Perhaps at that time he thought that he could raise more cattle, sheep and horses so that he could live a good life.
Perhaps it was because the world did not follow others' wishes. In 1940, the warlord leader entrenched in Xinjiang at that time, Shengshicai . On the one hand, , the Altay region, confiscated guns (mainly hunting rifles) from herders (mainly hunting rifles), and on the other hand, it was also forcibly occupying herders' cattle, sheep and horses. The local herders were full of complaints.
Everyone hopes that a hero can stand up and lead everyone to resist, so that they can live a stable and stable life.
There is oppression, wherever there is resistance, there is unchanged supremacy, one of the two people named Ah Tiek and the other named Yesmuhan Nuhaibayi, they walked out of the local Kazakhs and organized and led everyone to launch a rebellion in Fuyun County and Qinghe County.
Usman was also involved at this time, transforming from a herder Usman to a Usman who resisted the warlord. But that was the goal he had to resist with all his strength, that is, he would be hated by the local people in the future.
Chapter 0: At this time, Sheng Shicai mainly adopted a two-hand strategy in the face of the fierce resistance and uprising of the local people, one hand luring the surrender, and the other hand arranged to secretly mobilize the army.
can wait for an opportunity to eliminate it in a slow-down strategy. He deliberately deceived the ordinary people who revolt through religious people named Janimukhan, and swore to the high-rise Qur'an:
Everything I did was actually for the sake of the people. As long as you hand over the gun, you can leave everything in the past, and ensure everyone's lives are safe and return all the robbed property.
But in fact, a regiment of troops who had already been transferred from Dihua was on the way to arrive in the night and was ready to launch an attack on Fuyun County, one of the uprising points.
The kind and innocent local Kazakh herders still chose to hand over the guns, with about four or five hundred. The main leaders at that time were also arrested by names who came to the meeting before, while Usman and a small number of people did not choose to believe in Shengshicai.

However, in the end, because of the huge gap in overall strength, he finally lost. Usman led the remaining part of the people to escape into the mountains.
This is the case, and the Usman bandit army in the future can be said to have been initially formed. In this process, Usman received support from Outer Mongolian forces, and the mountains and gullies were everywhere, which also prevented Usman from being eliminated by the prosperous times.
With external support, Usman began to counterattack the Kuomintang and won Fuyun and Qinghe County in one fell swoop. But just when it seemed that a glimmer of victory was coming, the initial starting point was about to be realized. The news that the Kuomintang killed Usman's family made Usman deeply hit.
Usman, who lost his family, gradually changed his personality. He began to become increasingly arrogant and cruel. If he couldn't understand it just now, how could a "Batur"-like character who was originally good in everyone's eyes turn into depravity step by step and eventually become a bandit who will harm the enemy.
Usman
It was not until the prosperous era that he evacuated Xinjiang. The Kuomintang commissioned Wu Zhongxin as the chairman of Xinjiang Province. Wu Zhongxin's policy in dealing with Usman was mainly focused on recruiting and trying to turn Usman into his own use.
Although Usman did not choose to surrender, because Usman already had the idea of becoming the king of Kazakhstan. However, during Wu Zhongxin's administration in Xinjiang, Usman's armed activities decreased a lot, so there were naturally secret songs.
After meeting with the then chairman of the Mongolian People's Republic of in Outer Mongolia in 1944, Usman's inflated heart was further aroused. He believed that the Altay region was completely its private territory because it began to openly claim to be the king of the Kazakhs.
even began to fall into the embrace of the Kuomintang. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that he was getting closer and closer to his enemy.
ambition finally wrapped him up. In 1946, Wu Zhongxin resigned from the position of chairman of Xinjiang Province. In June of the same year, Usman became a minion of the Kuomintang.
From February 1947, Usman still overestimated himself. In April, Usman was defeated and retreated to Saar County. At the same time, he was appointed as a commissioner by the Kuomintang and officially fell into the arms of the Kuomintang.
But he never gave up the dream of the Kazakh king's "local emperor" and began to burn, kill and loot. This also marked that Usman had completely settled in the largest bandit leader in the northern border region.
But Usman never expected that it was also a "beard" who came to break his dream. He once led the 359th Brigade to reclaim the "Big Bearded" General Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen
1949, Xinjiang was peacefully liberated, and Usman suddenly felt that the form was not good for him. On the one hand, he gathered the remnants of the Kuomintang in order to preserve his strength. On the other hand, he colluded with Mark Nan, the deputy consul in Xinjiang at that time and was also a CIA agent agent .
The US consular team had withdrawn from Xinjiang at this time, but Markan stayed secretly. He left behind with his purpose, mainly hoping to surveillance and collect Soviet intelligence by lurking in Xinjiang, our country.
Marknan
In this process, he found that in order to lurk for a long time to achieve his goal, he needed to have a solid foothold.
So Markan gradually focused his attention on Usman, trying to use weapon assistance to enable Usman to split Xinjiang from China's territory, so that he could restrain the newly established new China.
forms the so-called link between Taiwan and Xinjiang, and the situation of east-west attack. On the other hand, it can also prepare for the United States to collect the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons for a long time.
Usman also performed hard, occupying almost half of Xinjiang, and aimed at Hami . This is not only to realize the sinister plots between Chiang Kai-shek and the United States, but also to realize his long-cherished wishes for many years. On this vast land of Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai and Wu Zhongxin, it is time for him to turn Usman.
It is for this selfish desire that Usman forgot the deep blood hatred brought to him by the Kuomintang, and completely ignored the righteousness of the nation for a lifetime. He did not hesitate to sell the country for his lifetime of wealth.
At that time, in the early days of the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang, the local stubborn forces were still used to understand the interests of the local stubborn forces, hoping that they could return to the people. Don’t continue to resist stubbornly and be enemies of the broad masses of people.
But Usman did not obey this kind of persuasion, and was stubborn and always stubborn.

Until April 1, 1950, Luo Shaowei, then deputy commander of the 16th Division of the 6th Army, informed the front line troops to inspect the military's preparations to understand whether the discipline and policies were implemented in place.
After getting the news, Usman carefully planned and sent his capable generals to set up an ambush on his own path. Just when Deputy Commander Luo Shaowei and his party arrived here, they waited for an opportunity to stop the killing.
In this way, Luo Shaowei and his group were eventually brutally killed by the minions excluded by Usman. When the news reached General Wang Zhen, General Wang Zhen was furious and vowed to avenge his sacrificed comrades and let Usman repay his blood debt.
Martyr Luo Shaowei
See this, is it somewhat similar to the plot in the film and television drama " Bright Sword ":
Monk Wei rides a horse to deliver a letter, but was the second in command of Xie Baoqing, who set up a rope on the roadside to kill him. The leader of the Independent Group Li Yunlong slapped the table, and wanted to flatten Qingfeng Village to avenge the monk Wei.
seems to be a little similar to these two, and it is also possible that the author used this incident as the blueprint for this story when he was writing it.
But the difference is that Li Yunlong did not ask his superiors to send troops without authorization. Although he avenged his comrades and wiped out local bandits in one fell swoop, he still violated military discipline in the end. After learning about this, General Wang Zhen suppressed the anger in his heart on the one hand and asked the central government for instructions.
Chairman Mao
Chairman Mao didn't speak for a while after knowing it. He was thinking that Xinjiang should not be lost from the overall situation. A solid Xinjiang is also particularly important for the newly established New China.
cannot let some scabies be damaged, which will destroy the good situation in New China. Instructions: All localities must take eliminating bandits and stabilizing Xinjiang as their important task.
centralized attack and make proper arrangements, so as to clear it up in one fell swoop. Marshal Zhu De also made important instructions: the bandits are good at horse skills, and our army can have their own advantages as well as automobiles, armored and cavalry mobile units, and find their nests to encircle and suppress them with superior forces. The official order has also been conveyed: the Xinjiang Military Region Bandit Suppression Headquarters will be established, mainly Wang Zhen. At the same time, Luo Yuanfa was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Xinjiang.
1950, Wang Zhen ordered the army of six regiments, a total of more than 10,000 troops to suppress the bandits. Because the local bandit forces led by Usman were born and raised, this is a significant advantage over the bandit suppression troops.The troops were reconnaissance and deployed. Finally, after the unremitting efforts of front-line scouts, the location of Usman's old nest was determined and locked in the area near Hongliu Gorge.
Found Usman's nest. The next step is to send troops to set up a formation to annihilate it in one go. The top will live up to the central government's instructions, and the bottom can use this to pay tribute to the spirits of the sacrificial heroes in heaven.
However, the Hongliuxia area collected from the collection is complex terrain structure, which is easy to defend but difficult to achieve, and is not conducive to vehicle-type combat. In this way, the mobility of striking the enemy with its superiority becomes difficult to achieve.
On the 15th, the snow in the sky added variables to the military's combat, and the night temperature dropped sharply to below minus 30 degrees Celsius, which added a layer of guarantee to Usman.
Usman also believes that our army's large forces dare not attack under such conditions, or attack easily. This will give them a chance to breathe, take advantage of this opportunity to rest and recuperate, and then attack and defeat our army when there is any change.
But Usman still didn't fully understand what kind of troops came to wipe out him. This is a righteous army with tenacious will and is forbidden soldiers who have been marching through the Long March of and tempered in thousands of wars.
After careful deployment and proper arrangement, our army resolutely attacked at its most unexpected moment.
After excellent command of commanders and fighters at all levels, and the tenacious fighting spirit of every soldier who is not afraid of hardship, Usman was defeated and also gave a heavy blow to Usman's arrogance in his heart.
Luo Yuanfa
Finally, Usman fled with a few remaining soldiers, and achieved a phased victory in the fight against bandits.
Next, Wang Zhen and Luo Yuanfa continued to arrange to command the troops to pursue Usman, and on the other hand, they properly resettle ordinary people who were forced to join Usman's bandits. Arrange to return home and resume production and life.
This series of measures made the local people truly realize what kind of force our army is, an army completely different from the old warlords and the Kuomintang. It also broke the false propaganda made by Usman in order to make his rule better and easier, so that all demonized remarks could be destroyed by themselves, and the reputation of our army was further enhanced.
: It’s up to Usman’s side. After the defeat, Usman continued to linger in Gansu and Qinghai, trying to restore his vitality to our army continue to fight.
He also thought of retreating, that is, to escape overseas, and continue to dream of "local emperor". He burned, killed, robbed and continued to strengthen his team along the way, gathered his confidants at the handover between Gansu, Qinghai and Xin, and intended to counterattack.
But in the end of 1950, our army defeated Usman's troops in one fell swoop, and Usman himself was captured alive. This means that Usman, who has been plaguing Xinjiang for many years, can no longer do evil. It has laid a stable foundation for the construction of New China and New Xinjiang.
Usman also went from the initial resistance fighter to the bandit leader, and eventually became a destined prisoner. He will eventually pay the price for his crime of turmoil in Xinjiang.
If Usman, whose mentality changed after facing his relatives being murdered, was only caused by excessive sadness. Then Usman, who has become a prisoner, still refuses to plead guilty and refuses to confess his crimes, and is completely helpless.
On April 29, 1951, Usman was taken to the public trial meeting. Under the witness of more than 80,000 people, Usman was sentenced to firing a gun.
was originally a positive person known as "Batur", but in the end, it ended up like this, which is inevitably a pity.
What do you think of this big bandit who has risen to resisting to selling his country and seeking honor? Everyone is welcome to leave their own ideas in the comment section.
