1951 on the seventh day of the first lunar month, , heavy snow stopped. In Linghou Village, Yushan Township (Yushan Town), Jianou County (Jianou City), Fujian Province, 15-year-old Wang Renshou took his 12-year-old brother Wang Renxi to the deep mountains to chop wood.
The two brothers lost their father since childhood, and their stepfather Zhan Chuanguang had a bad temper, so they were sensible earlier than ordinary children.
It was cold and the thin-dressed Wang brothers were trembling with coldness, so they ran to the rarely visited mountain bamboo shoot farm to avoid the cold.
In the Shanshang Field, two brothers accidentally discovered a tall man who was cooking fire. This was a real surprise.
The two brothers came over and chatted with the man while roasting the fire.
The man claimed to be from Jiangxi and was a beggar. Wang Renxi, who was young and troubled, said: "You should go to a crowded village. Are you still expecting someone to bring you food to eat here?" The man in
"snorted" coldly and refused to pay attention to them again.
The Wang brothers were bored and had to leave the mountain bamboo shoot farm.
brothers came to a remote place, and Wang Renshou asked the brothers: "Do you know that guy just now?"
Wang Renxi shook his head blankly.
Wang Renshou said: "I know him, he is a high-ranking official, with the surname Wu, and the one who buried 19 people alive in Sukou Village."
Wang Renxi suddenly realized, "I remember it, it was Wu Jinrong. I heard from the militia in our village that he was arresting him everywhere, but I didn't expect this guy to hide here."
Wang Renshou said: "You are here to secretly watch him, I will go to the village to call someone."
Wang Renshou had just walked for a while, and Wu Jinrong also left the mountain bamboo farm and walked along the path towards the gorge, and Wang Renxi followed secretly.
The snow on the road was too thick and it was inconvenient to walk. Wu Jinrong walked not far away and turned around and walked on the main road.
When he arrived at Linghou Village, Wu Jinrong saw more than a dozen people coming out of the entrance of the village from afar, and his pace became faster.
Wang Renxi saw this and shouted: "He is Wu Jinrong, everyone, come and arrest him."
Wu Jinrong ran away. As soon as he got on the stone bridge, Wang Renxi suddenly rushed up and hugged Wu Jinrong's leg and fell into the pit on the side of the road.
Before Wu Jinrong could climb out of the pit, Wang Renxi's stepfather Zhan Chuanguang and several militias had already arrived.
, Wu Jinrong, the commander of the 3rd Division of the "Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Frontline Special Attack Command" was arrested.
There is a mountain with an altitude of more than 1,500 meters at the junction of Jianou , Gutian , and Pingnan . Jianling people call it Jiuxian Mountain . The main peak of Jiuxian Mountain has three spires, so it is called Bijia Mountain.
Jiuxian Mountain runs north and south, and Pingnan and Gutian counties on the east side are eroded by the sea breeze, and the land is barren and full of desolation. The lives of the people are extremely miserable.
is in Jianou County on the other side of Jiuxian Mountain. It has abundant rainfall, fertile land, and green bamboo forests are everywhere. It is rich in wood and bamboo utensils, and the local people live a relatively wealthy life.
In 1932, Wu Jinrong, a native of Qingyuan County, Zhejiang Province, came to Jianou to buy bamboo utensils. He found that the local accommodation was difficult, so he opened an inn here.
Poor mountains and bad waters are out of troubled people. Every year when the young and old age is out of reach, bandits from Gutian and Pingnan will climb over Jiuxian Mountain in groups to Jianou to tie hostages and rob.
These bandits sometimes live in Wu Jinrong's inn. After a while, Wu Jinrong became familiar with these bandits. How much does the hostages kidnapped by the bandits usually cost Wu Jinrong usually set the price.
In 1936, a Ningbo timber dealer came to Jianling County to buy wood with a huge sum of money and lived in Wu Jinrong's store.
Wu Jinrong was determined to see the money, pretended to be a bandit on the way, killed Ningbo merchants, and took the huge sum of money for himself.
, but this Ningbo merchant was the cousin of Chen Jieru. Although Chiang Kai-shek abandoned Chen Jieru, he still felt guilty about his ex-wife who was 19 years younger than him.
Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered the arrest of Wu Jinrong. However, the news leaked out in advance. Wu Jinrong burned Kedian and fled to Houfang Village, Shunyang Township to become a bandit.
The leader of the bandit was surnamed Yang, from Pingnan, and everyone called him Lao Yang.
Old Yang has no ambitions, and more than a dozen people have shot seven or eight guns, which is already very content for him.
Wu Jinrong was a bandit under Lao Yang for several months. He got some wine and food, got Lao Yang drunk and killed him. Wu Jinrong became the bandit leader himself.
Wu Jinrong is indeed better than Lao Yang. In a short time, he had more than 20 bandits under his command.
Wu Jinrong moved his nest to Bijia Mountain. The mountains are high and dense forests are dense, and the terrain is steep. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat. The most important thing is that Wu Jinrong can impersonate the bandits in Nanping and Gutian to rob and extort the people of Jianling County.
The Kuomintang army also went to Jiuxian Mountain to suppress bandits, but the chickens were stealing and the rice was lost. In the past year, the bandits in Jiuxian Mountain have replaced all their weapons and equipment, and they have sufficient ammunition.
The Kuomintang army came to suppress the bandits again, and lost even more miserable times and lost more weapons and materials.
The bandits in Jiuxian Mountain cannot be wiped out. The Kuomintang army seeks inspiration in "Water Margin" and recruits the bandits. Wu Jinrong also transformed into the captain of Jianling County Security Team. Not long after
, Wu Jinrong was highly recommended by Xidong landlords Deng Dazhen, Deng Dehuan and others, and approved by the commander of Jianou County's "bandit suppression"; he became the captain of the Shunyang Township Self-Defense Force. There are more than 40 people in the
Self-Defense Force, all of whom were bandits under Wu Jinrong’s former troops. The Kuomintang army equipped these bandits with two machine guns, , two big-bellied box guns, and more than 30 rifles. With the amulet of the Self-Defense Captain, Wu Jinrong became more unscrupulous. He could send food, money and catch strong men to the local people at will.
Once, Huang Bingji, the most proud minion under Wu Jinrong, took people to Xiyan Village to catch the strong men.
news was learned in advance by a young man named Liu Muzhou in Xiyan Village. He notified the young man in the village in advance and escaped completely.
Huang Bingji threw away the air, became angry and took Liu Muzhou's father and two brothers away, and hung them on a big tree in Longtan Village to beat him. Give Liu Muzhou three days deadlines and give 300 yuan ocean to redeem people. Otherwise, carry the coffin to load the body.
Liu Muzhou filed loans everywhere and sold his home land at an extremely low price. At least he had already accumulated 300 oceans, but it had been delayed for half a day.
Huang Bingji collected the money, then shot Liu Muzhou's father and brother to death, and then tied Liu Muzhou up and arrested him as a strong man. Huang Bingji created a family massacre.
Another minion under Wu Jinrong's hand was born. If he failed to catch the strong men, he would take the female family back as hostages. After he was humiliated by wantonly, he would have to pay 60 yuan to release the person.
In Qianling Village, Ye Faji arrested three girls as hostages and asked each of his family to pay 15 dan of millet and 100 oceans as ransoms. The three families could not make up enough ransoms, so Ye Faji buried the three girls alive.
In Xiakeng Village, a little girl named Qin was only thirteen years old and was taken as a hostage. When her family took the money to redeem the person, Ye Faji collected the money and gave the Qin family a body. It turned out that the girl was ruined to death two days ago.
In just a few years, countless families were forced to destroy their families by Wu Jinrong and his gang.
After Japan surrendered to , Wu Jinrong's ravages on the local area became even more severe.
Because , the Red Army established a base in Gutian and Jianou areas.
Now, Wu Jinrong and his gang continue to use the snatch of men and extort money. It is also said that those families without strong men, the men in the family participated in the Red Army that year, and in the name of "clearing down", they burned, killed and looted Qian, Chengyuan, Yangyuan and other places, and their evil deeds were endless.
The common people described Wu Jinrong as a gangster, who was even better than burning mountains and shaving his head. He did not grow plants in three years, and it was rare to turn over in ten years.
In February 1948, Zhongshan and Fuzhai villages were looted by bandits, burned 18 houses and 5 plowing oxen were stolen.
A few days later, more than 20 households in Tianzhu Village were burned out, and all 7 bamboo shoots on the mountain were burned out.
Behind Shimen is a large village with more than 100 families. More than 80 households were robbed by Wu Jinrong's stock gangsters, and all the women who had no time to escape were tragically ravaged.
In Yunzhukeng Village, bandits blocked the 14-year-old girl Jiang and her mother at home. The mother and daughter were unable to bear the humiliation, bit the bandits' arm, and were shot to death by the bandits.
In Qiuping Village, the bandits first killed 14 villagers, and then threw five or six babies in their infancy into the pond and drowned them alive.
In mid-November 1949, Wu Jinrong's stock bandits attacked Sukou Village, and the bandits buried 19 innocent people alive in one breath.
When Ye Dashan's family was buried alive, there was a boy of five or six years old in the Ye family, who was so scared that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
Wu Jinrong sneered and forced the child to call him godfather. Then kicked the child into the pit. It is said that it is necessary to eradicate the roots.
The tragic situation at that time, many villagers were forced to watch, among which the brothers Wang Renshou and Wang Renxi were among them.
After the liberation of Jian'ou County, Wu Jinrong led his men to the mountain to become a bandit, and contacted the Kuomintang spies, appointing him as the commander of the 3rd Division of the "Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi Qian County Special Command".
Wu Jinrong used his influence in the local area to recruit surrender and a rebel. Soon his "State Third Division" developed to 6 regiments and one spy battalion, with more than 1,000 people.
The officers of the bandit "Temporary Third Division" are all guilty bandit leaders.
For example, Xu Bangji, the leader of the 316th Bandit Regiment, is from Dabei Village, Pingnan County. He has forced five wives. This guy is rich and has a gun and started a gun rental transaction. There were as many as 17 bandits in the local area armed with Xu Bangji's guns. He sat on the ground to share the spoils and made a fortune.
In January 1950, after Wu Jinrong occupied Xidong, he sneaked into Xixi. More than 20 militiamen retreated into the mountains. Wu Jinrong directly sent people to arrest the families of these militias. Force the militia to go down the mountain or their families will be killed.
The militia were helpless and had to go down the mountain, and all the guns they carried were owned by Wu Jinrong.
Wu Jinrong succeeded by luck, and his ambition began to expand. He set up 100 sumptuous banquets in Daguan Village and Jiangkeng Village, invited his bandits to have a meal and prepare to attack the Dongfeng District Office.
At that time, our army's bandit suppression troops found that people came to Dongfeng in Daguan Village and bought a lot of cabbage. It felt a bit strange. When asked the villagers who sold vegetables, some said it was a wedding ceremony, and some said it was a birthday. The leader of the bandit suppression force felt that this was a bit strange, so he found a few local militias and asked them to go to Dawen Village for on-site reconnaissance.
Because the bandits expanded too quickly, they were not familiar with each other. In addition, the local big sword meeting also defected to Wu Jinrong, and Wu Jinrong already has nearly 2,000 people under him.
Therefore, several militiamen walked back and forth in Daguan Village in a big manner, but were not interrogated.
The militia found out the situation of the bandits. When they returned to the Dongfeng District Office, it was already midnight.
At that time, our army's bandit suppression troops were not expected to have so many bandits under Wu Jinrong, and only one company of troops was sent.
The situation is urgent, and the bandits are about to launch an attack at dawn.
now asks for reinforcements, and it is too late to go.
Our army's bandit suppression troops decided to take the initiative first, send two platoons of troops, and with the cooperation of local militia, they set off from Anling Village and detoured to the back mountain of Jiangkeng Village, cutting off the enemy's retreat.
has a platoon of troops left, attacking Jiangkeng Village from the front. The leaders of
predict that after our bandit suppression troops launched an attack, the bandits would not understand the truth and would definitely flee to the back mountain and just fell into the ambush circle of our bandit suppression troops. At that time, they would attack each other in order to completely wipe out Wu Jinrong's bandits.
Our army's bandit suppression troops and militias had only about 200 people in total. Taking the initiative to attack nearly 2,000 bandits is an amazing creativity in itself.
The detour troops set out overnight. The soldiers who were acting as frontal attacks launched an attack on Jiangkeng Village one hour after the detour troops set out.
But far from the village, I found piles of bonfires everywhere in the fields.
The cunning Wu Jinrong has the excuse that Jiangkeng Village is too small and can only live in the "Temporary Third Division". The Big Sword Club, who had just joined him, was arranged to camp in the field outside the village. They are also the pioneers of attacking , the office, after dawn.
In order to give courage to the members of the Big Sword Club, the wizards gave them talisman water and cinnabar wine. It is said that this will be invulnerable to swords and guns.
In fact, this is Wu Jinrong's plan to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger. When the Dadao will fight with the militias in the district office to exhaust themselves, he will reap the benefits.
Because the people from the Big Sword Society did not sleep, the soldiers of the bandit suppression troops were discovered as soon as they approached.
suddenly sounded a gunshot. The big sword that was filled with cinnabar wine was filled with unreasonable sarcastic wine, raised the big sword in his hand, shouted, and rushed towards the bandit suppression troops like crazy.
The soldiers of the bandit suppression forces shot and fought back. In the dense rain of bullets, the people from the Big Sword Association fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest turned around and fled to Jiangkeng Village.
At this time, Jiangkeng Village was in chaos. Wu Jinrong couldn't figure out the truth and led his people to retreat to the back mountain.
The frontal attack battle started 20 minutes in advance, and it was dark and foggy, and when the detour troops arrived at the ambush area on time, Wu Jinrong had already taken people to escape for about 10 minutes.
War in Jiangkeng Village, Wu Jinrong's "temporary third division" suffered heavy damage, and the turtle retracted into the mountains, and it was not until more than two months later that he was ready to move.
In March 1950, Wu Jinrong led more than 1,300 bandits to attack the Dongfeng District Office. There are only more than 40 people in the
office, and fortunately more than 20 of them are demobilized cadres.
After research, everyone cannot sit still and wait for death. They must first break through to Jianou County.
Wu Jinrong ambushed five or six hundred people on the only way to the county town. The demobilized cadres of the
district office were divided into 6 combat groups, climbed the hills on both sides, and were condescending, aiming at the bandits gathered at the intersection at the foot of the mountain and beat them up.
The bandits felt like they were surrounded by our army, and left the corpses all over the ground, and scattered birds and beasts.
The staff of Dongfeng District Office lived in the county town for a few days and then returned to the district office.
Considering that district offices are easy to attack and difficult to defend, we first live in Guilin Village, five miles away from Dongfeng Village.
Guilin Village is separated by a river between Dongfeng Village, and a big road next to the village leads directly to the county town. The view around the village is wide. At the beginning of the village, there is a large temple called Xiamiao. The walls are high and thick, and are made of stones, which are very convenient for defense. People from the
district office settled in the temple and sent people to Dongfeng Village to inquire about the situation. As a result, as soon as he entered the village, the bandits discovered it. The scouts fought and retreated. The bandits pursued them relentlessly and surrounded the temple that night. The soldiers of the
district office opened several shooting holes on the big wall, then gathered the bullets together, and found several demobilized cadres with good marksmanship. As long as the bandits dared to show their heads, there would be an extra bullet hole on their foreheads.
The bandits fought for two days, and dozens of people died, but they couldn't get close to the temple.
Wu Jinrong was so angry that he captured the families of several militiamen and shot them on the hill opposite the temple.
At noon on the third day, four platoons of our army's reinforcements arrived in Guilin Village, and the bandits collapsed without fighting.
The bandits besieged Xiamiao this time, which attracted the attention of the bandit suppression troops. At the end of May 1950, a whole battalion of troops of the bandit suppression troops entered Dongfeng Village, looking for an opportunity to annihilate Wu Jinrong's "Third Division". If
wants to wipe out the "Temporary Third Division", the first thing to do is to determine where they are hiding now. However, the bandit suppression troops are not familiar with the place and there are more people going to reconnaissance, which is easy to alert the bandits, allowing the bandits to escape in advance. If there are fewer people going, you may suffer losses.
Corps Commander Wu Sheng and Xue, a bandit suppression force, is a very capable person. He believed that there was no need to go deep into the enemy's cave to capture the enemy's captives.
is now in our hands. Wu Jinrong is more eager to get our exact information. On the bustling streets, there must be many spies sent by Wu Jinrong.
captures all these spies, and the enemy's reality will be able to understand.
Do it as soon as possible. The bandit suppression troops sent a platoon to set up ambush on both sides of the road entering and leaving Luli Village. Anyone who sees suspicious signs must stop them and conduct careful investigation.
In just over an hour, the soldiers of the bandit suppression troops stopped more than 40 people. Among the guys with suspicious signs, there were actually two spoiled bandits, one of whom was surnamed Liu and the other was surnamed Zheng. The soldiers of
asked them, and these two guys were either pretending to be deaf and dumb, or just talking about him. Compared to that, the one named Liu is more stubborn.
The bandits are all harsh guys. The scouts tied up the habitual bandit named Liu and dragged it out.
also told the bandit surnamed Zheng, saying: "I will give you 5 minutes to consider it. If you are not honest, this is your role model."
As a gunshot outside the door, the bandit named Zheng was immediately scared to death. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
This bandit named Zheng turned out to be a craftsman who made seals in Jianling County. Wu Jinrong captured him to the mountains and became his own secretary, making a special wish for Wu Jinrong to be an official.
According to the bandit surnamed Zheng, he has made seventy or eighty regiment and battalion-level seals.
In addition, he also recruited the secret service camp that Wu Jinrong trusted the most, and the "Temporary Third Division" division headquarters, stationed in Jinfeng Temple in Houfang Village.
also has 4 division-level guard companies stationed around Jinfeng Temple.
's first company is stationed in the Internet factory; the second company is stationed in Xiaochiyuan; the third company is stationed in Shangfang Village; and the fourth company is stationed in Xiashanchang.
is really a search without any effort. Even if you catch a bandit leader, you won’t know more than Wu Jinrong’s secretary. The key to destroying Wu Jinrong's stock bandits is to find the nest where they hide. The combat effectiveness of the bandits is not worth mentioning at all.
The bandit suppression troops used the forces of two battalions and divided the troops into five routes. According to the intelligence provided by the bandits surnamed Zheng, they adopted the tactic of the heart-to-heart to directly seize the five targets at the location of the "State Third Division" division headquarters.
Soon, the bandits stationed in Xiashanchang, Xiaochiyuan and Shangfang were defeated.
But Wu Jinrong was very cunning. Because the two bandits who went out to find out the wind did not return, he felt uneasy and led a group of bandits to leave Jinfeng Temple in the middle of the night and fled into the deep mountains.
In addition, no bandits were found in the online factory village.
After investigation, it was found that the bandits stole a few pigs and cattle. Ye Famao from Qiantun Village was a butcher. The bandits sent the cows and pigs to Qiantun Hengxi, and asked Ye Fa to kill them. They were drinking and eating meat.
So the bandit suppression troops rushed straight to Hengxi, Qiantun, and a company of bandits were caught off guard, all of them were captured, and none of them ran away.
Then the bandit suppression troops continued to work hard, divided the troops into four groups, conducted a dragnet-style search of more than 40 villages around, searched for the remaining bandits, and called on the bandits to reform themselves.
Wu Jinrong's stock bandits were in a state of grievances. In the past, the people had some concerns. Now Wu Jinrong is defeated, and the people are also starting to beat the dogs in the water. Many of the broken bandits were beaten to death by the angry people. If these bandits want to survive, they can only go to the bandit suppression troops to surrender their guns and reopen.
As the local people become more and more enthusiastic about participating in the bandit suppression, the whereabouts of the remaining bandits under Wu Jinrong's troops are under the control of the bandit suppression troops.
Later, even the chief of staff of the "Temporary Third Division" Zheng Kexi and other bandits went down the mountain to surrender. Finally, the huge "Three Temporary Divisions" all went down the mountain to surrender, except Wu Jinrong and more than a dozen confidants, and seven or eight bandit leaders who were extremely guilty.
In November 1950, Ye Faji, who was extremely guilty, hid alone in the fairy temple on the back mountain of Xiaoling, Jianou County. After reporting by the masses, he was captured alive by the bandit suppression troops.
Another bandit leader Xu Bangji hid in a small shed on the mountain near Dabei for several months. He was so hungry that he had to go down the mountain to surrender. In the end, Wu Jinrong and eight or nine people were left, hiding in a cave in Houmen Mountain, Huangkou Village, without having a full meal for 7 days.
Wu Jinrong ordered a bandit to go to Huangkou Village to beg for food, but as soon as he entered the village, he was caught by the bandit suppression troops.
The bandit suppression troops immediately sent a platoon, braved the cold, led the prisoner and rushed to the cave where Wu Jinrong was hiding.
did not fire a single shot, and all the bandits were captured, but the bandit leader Wu Jinrong was not seen.
It turned out that this cunning guy sent someone out to beg for food, worried about being betrayed, so he secretly hid in a dense forest not far from the cave in advance. Wu Jinrong could see clearly what happened in the
cave. When the bandit suppression troops organized manpower to search the mountains, Wu Jinrong had already escaped.
Wu Jinrong escaped alone, wandered in the mountains for more than a month, and had a worried Spring Festival.
Later, Wu Jinrong was so hungry that he had no choice but to hide the submachine gun and pistol he carried with him in a tree hole. He returned to Jinfeng Temple and found a monk named Han. He asked for 5 kilograms of millet, a rice bag, a porcelain tea pot and fire cage , and went into the mountains again.For the hungry Wu Jinrong, this little food cannot be eaten for long.
A few days later, Wu Jinrong crossed Jiuxian Mountain, crossed Yushan Village, and lurked in a bamboo shoot farm in front of the village to cook fire, and also thought about how to get some food in the nearby village.
But at this time, we met the brothers Wang Renshou and Wang Renxi who were going up the mountain to harvest firewood through the snow.
Wu Jinrong underestimated the two guys, thinking that they were still children and would not pose any threat. He even wanted to go to the village to buy him some food through these two kids.
After years of searching, Wu Jinrong couldn't even tell how much money he had. But he never expected that these two children he looked down upon would capture him alive with clever tricks.
More than a month later, the public verdict meeting was held in Jianou County. Five habitual bandits including Wu Jinrong were executed by firing.
