Usman was brave and good at fighting against Sheng Shicai and was called "Baturu" by his tribe members ( Kazakh "hero"), making him an idol of his tribe members. His appeal is quite high in his tribe, just like the "Karla Knight" of Xinjiang.
1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Song Xilian was appointed commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Xinjiang Security Command, sent people to negotiate with Usman, and gave Usman a large number of guns, ammunition, cloth, squid houses and other items.
From then on, Usman joined the reactionary camp of the Kuomintang and became the backbone of the anti-communist party.
On September 25, 1949, under the leadership of patriotic generals and patriotic people who are well-versed in righteousness and put the country first, Xinjiang military and civilians supported the Chinese People's Liberation Army into Xinjiang and peaceful uprising, thus peacefully liberating Xinjiang.
In October 1949, the First Corps of the People's Liberation Army of China advanced into Xinjiang under the leadership of Commander Wang Zhen and Political Commissar Wang Enmao.
Commander Wang Zhen sent Aimati Waguitar to lead more than ten upper-class people in Xinjiang who supported our party, government and military to go to the Balikun County, of Usman's headquarters to inform our army of various policies for the peaceful liberation of Xinjiang and to appease his troops, and brought Commander Wang Zhen's handwritten letters and gifts.
After the watt guitar arrived at Usman's station, he gave Usman his handwritten letter and the gifts given by our army. Then he explained it to him:
"Gax Batulu, this time I came to visit you on behalf of the People's Liberation Army and Commander Wang Zhen."
"In the past, the mutual revenge between the various ethnic groups in Xinjiang was initiated by imperialism and the reactionary government of the Kuomintang. Now Xinjiang has been liberated and united under the unified leadership of the Communist Party of China, forget the hatred of the past, and jointly build Xinjiang."
The upper-level progressive people from Xinjiang who went with him also promoted the ethnic policies of our army entering Xinjiang to Usman.
Finally, Usman swears: "I express my gratitude to you and your party for your arrival. After you go back, you tell Commander Wang Zhen to express your gratitude to him. I would like to express my warm welcome to the PLA enter Xinjiang.
However, the benevolent and righteous actions of our People's Liberation Army did not appease this anti-communist backbone. Usman swears and actively anti-communist.
Just when Usman and our People's Liberation Army were slandering, secretly, he and another reactionary leader in Xinjiang, Jianimuhan, decided to incite everyone to live near Dihua through three days of conspiracy. tribes in the land rose up to rebel and oppose peaceful liberation.
discuss and decide: First, Janimhan, Wurezibaimaula, and Kayimaurdan are responsible for provoking the rebellion of the tribesmen in Changji and Hutubi ;
Second, Haribek and Salis are provoking the rebellion of the tribesmen in Nanshan ;
Third, Adelihan and Abdure are provoking the rebellion of the tribesmen in Huangkang;
Finally, Usman and Husaiyin are provoking the rebellion of the tribesmen in Jimusar , Qitai ,
Taiwan’s Kuomintang government, which is entrenched in a corner, was ecstatic about Usman’s reactionary stance and signed Usman as the “Commander-in-Chief of Xinjiang Anti-Communist” through radio.
Chiang Kai-shek also sent a telegram to Usman in his personal name, instigating him to confront our People’s Liberation Army and using the Malaysian bandits to incite people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to oppose the leadership of the Communist Party of China over Xinjiang.
In March 1950, large-scale bandit riots broke out across the country, trying to subvert the regime of the new Republic.
Usman got Chiang Jieshi Telegram organized large-scale bandit riots throughout Xinjiang. In Xinjiang, the arrogant Usman bandit gangs and bandit riots finally broke out. One day in late March 1950, in Qitai, not far from the east of Dihua City.
The 7th Cavalry Division of the People's Liberation Army was stationed in Qitai. The 7th Cavalry Division, originally the Fifth Cavalry Army of Ma Bufang, (after entering the new era, it was reorganized after the uprising.
After the uprising, the commander of the first Cavalry Division, Ma Chengxiang, brigade commander Luo Shuren, and Chief of Staff Zhang Wumei and other stubborn elements left the army and went abroad, but the anti-communist atmosphere in this Ma Bufang's ace army was still relatively strong.
Some reactionary officers are quite stubborn in their thinking. Forced by the powerful People's Liberation Army, they temporarily rebelled. They always want to make a comeback and become enemies of the people.
In Barkol , Wusman, after receiving the telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, felt deeply that the thousands of troops in his tribe were not a match for the People's Liberation Army, so he reached out to Qitai's 7th Cavalry Division.
When night has completely fallen, the entire Qitai Garden is shrouded in the dark night. Usman led several followers from Barkol to the 7th Cavalry Division military camp outside the east gate of Qitai City quietly.
According to the prior plan, the reactionary officers of the 7th Cavalry Division will hold a secret meeting tonight to discuss the rebellion.
After connecting with the liaison personnel sent by the 7th Cavalry Division, Usman and his party were taken to a heavily guarded white yurt surrounded by sentries - the headquarters of a brigade of the 7th Cavalry Division.
At this time, a group of battalion commanders, regiment commanders, and brigade commanders of the 7th Cavalry Division were gathering here. The house was filled with smoke, and nervous-looking officers were whispering in groups of two or three.
When Usman appeared, everyone stopped talking and turned their attention to Usman.
There was a fierce man standing at the entrance of the yurt. He had a stout body and a waistline that was at least two to two and a half times that of an ordinary person. He was big, with a fleshy face, thick eyebrows and an onion-like nose hanging under his big eyes, and a black beard on his cheeks.
Most of the officers who had never seen Usman were shocked. They did not expect that Usman, who rode like flying on horseback and was extremely agile, was so thick and strong.
Usman (right)
Usman said hello to everyone in accordance with Kazakh etiquette, and then went straight to the point and explained his intention.
"At present, the Korean War has broken out, and the battle against the Communist Party is raging across the country. The situation is very good. At present, President Chiang Kai-shek of Taiwan has appointed me as the Commander-in-Chief of the Anti-Communist Party in Xinjiang." He took out a piece of paper and waved it in his hand.
"Dear heroes, I have been fond of Commander Ma (Ma Bufang) for a long time. The brothers under Commander Ma should all be lofty ideals and heroes. I hope you can help my brothers and light up the anti-communist fire in Xinjiang."
Usman bowed his hands to everyone hypocritically, with a righteous and majestic air.
"Damn it, we can't stand it anymore. The Communist Party has sent a bunch of cadres to fight with us all day long and squeeze us out."
"This doctrine and that idea are being instilled into the troops all day long, and they have to change their warlord style. Damn it, it's really hateful." A brigade commander yelled menacingly.
"If Tao Zhiyue had not raised the flag of rebellion at that time, the general trend would have been that the brothers would never have rebelled against the Communist Party." A regimental leader echoed.
Usman saw that the time had come, and took the opportunity to incite: "Yes!" The Communist Party wants to deprive you of your military power. This idea, that doctrine, bullshit, having a gun is the most important thing. A real man handles matters by making decisions when necessary, competing with the Communist Party, and those who have long admired Chief Ma are by no means cowards. "
" To Batulu, I have been waiting for you for a long time to give orders. Brothers, listen to your reactionary officers.
"Okay! Have fun. We will take action tonight. First, kill all the people sent by the Communist Party, and then attack Dihua."
Most of the Kuomintang uprising reorganized team stationed in Qitai, the 7th Cavalry Division, finally broke out in a large-scale rebellion. All political cadres at all levels who were sent to the 7th Cavalry Division by our party were brutally killed, the local people's government was destroyed, and there was burning, killing and looting everywhere. The reactionary officer Ma Zhanlin of the 7th Cavalry Division led his troops to capture Fukang County. After entering the city, the rebels ran rampant like ferocious wolves. They looted everywhere and were inhumane. They set fire to the streets and attacked the streets. There were constant gunshots and loud cries.
The sound of gunshots, cries and calls for help, as well as the thick flames of arson houses, enveloped the streets and alleys of Fukang City.
On this day, more than 30 shops, tea cloth shops, cotton cloth shops, etc. in Fukang City were looted.
Fukang County during the Republic of China period was one of the relatively wealthy counties in Xinjiang
Rebels tied the Baiyi people in the city to a pillar, and soldered them with a soldering iron. While tying, they asked, "Where is the silver hidden?" "Where are the money and property?" If they refused, they were treated cruelly.
There was a Bayi who refused to take out the money. The family of 18 people tied up all the people regardless of size. They were arranged in a row and killed with guns at one time. The situation was terrible.
Rape of women is another "can do" for the rebels. Several girls and young women in Fukang City were gang-raped by rebels, causing two girls to die and one girl to go crazy.
Next, the rebels retaliated against the local government cadres who were left in the city. More than a dozen Communist cadres were brutally killed by bandits by beheading their heads and dismantling their stomachs.
After receiving emergency information from the rebels attacking Fukang City, a unit of the 17th Division of the People's Liberation Army rushed to the city at night and finally arrived at the city before the rebels evacuated Fukang.
After completely surrounding Fukang City, the People's Liberation Army immediately attacked the county town. In the face of powerful firepower, nearly 500 rebels collapsed.
" Ma Family Army ", which has been arrogant for many years, finally met a strong opponent. Ma Zhanlin was shot dead on the spot, and nearly 500 people from Ma Zhanlin's bandits were wiped out.
Similar to Fukang's rebellion, which occurred simultaneously in Hami and Qitai areas, causing huge losses to my new people's regime and the broad masses of people.
Usman, the initiator of this rebellion, owed the first blood debt of the young republic.
After the rebels of the 7th Cavalry Division defected to Usman's banner, causing nearly 10,000 Usman bandits to be. Under Usman,
, under the leadership of Usman, attacked military vehicles and robbed business and travel property on the Hexi Corridor from Hami to Anxi, and launched a crazy attack on the People's Liberation Army in Yiwu , Bicheng, Nanshankou and other places.
Late March 1950, Yiwu. Under Usman's order, the elite Ukrainian bandits' elite troops, had more than 700 cavalry, besieged Yiwu.
At this time, the second company of the 46th Regiment of the Sixth Army stationed in Yiwu was the second company of the 46th Regiment of the Sixth Army. Although the force was only more than 100, the company had been through the battlefield for a long time. In the War of Liberation, it repeatedly won the more with few and made great achievements. He once defeated the attack of the first regiment of Hu Zongnan and the first regiment of . The person who commanded the company was Hu Qingshan, the famous combat hero deputy battalion commander.
Eriel, Usman's eldest daughter. She followed Usman to fight in the east and west since childhood. She grew up on horseback and was very proficient in horse riding and shooting. The so-called "tiger father without dog daughter" is a famous Kazakh archer.
It is said that during a battle between Usman and Sheng Shicai, Yili was ordered to defend the elderly and young people of the clan.
A team of Sheng Shicai's cavalry rushed through the defense line in front and rushed towards the old and young clan behind. Iriel was not afraid of danger and fired 10 shots at the Sheng Shicai cavalry coming from the Pegasus. Immediately, 10 cavalry fell down Malay .
straight to the death of Shengshicai's cavalry, and he dared not get close. Later, when cleaning the battlefield, 10 corpses were shot in the center of the forehead and killed with one bullet.
Eriel has since become a respected "female Batulu of this tribe."
Eriel's tribe has two elite troops in Usman's bandit gang and Usman's eldest son Sheldman's tribe. It has more than 700 cavalry under its command, which is extremely fierce and can drive away battles. They are all sharpshooters and have always shot perfectly.
Yu Defense Battle Our Army’s position site
As soon as the battle broke out, the two conveniently launched a fierce exchange of fire. Relying on the absolute advantage of numbers, Yili surrounded Yiwu heavily and urged his subordinates to launch a fierce attack.
The warlike soldiers of the Second Company, led by Hu Qingshan, built favorable fortifications and used the fortifications to calmly respond to the battle. One side has many people and strong power, while the other side relies on the right place to kill directly and difficult to distinguish.
Since March 26, Yili has launched 8 large-scale attacks, but has not gained any benefits in front of powerful opponents. Yiwu City is still firmly controlled by the Second Company.
lost more than a hundred horses and suffered more than a hundred casualties, Eriel, who had been rampant in Xinjiang for many years, knew that she had encountered a powerful opponent.
However, the arrogant Yili once swore in front of Usman: "I will never withdraw my troops unless I take down Yiwu."
Although he knew that his opponent was not easy to mess with, in order not to lose the face of "Female Batulu", he could only bite the bullet and attack. Nearly a thousand elite Ukrainian bandits were successfully restrained by Yiwu, which created conditions for our army to annihilate the main force of the Ukrainian bandits in Hongliu Gorge.
The Yiwu defenders also suffered heavy losses. After more than 40 days of fighting alone, some platoons only had 10 people left, and one squad only had one person left, but Yiwu always firmly controlled the PLA. hands.
Just when Hu Qingshan led his troops to fight against the Yilier bandits, which were several times larger than his own, an incident occurred in Turpan, in the east, which shocked the Xinjiang Military Region, the Northwest Military Region, and even Mao Zedong.
April 1, 1950, stationed in Gansu Province The Sixteenth Division of the Sixth Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Quanquan was ordered by the Northwest Military Region to enter Xinjiang to suppress the Ukrainian bandits. The third regiment of the division's vanguard, led by deputy commander Luo Shaowei, arrived near Hami early.
Luo Shaowei, only 31 years old at the time, was a battlefield veteran who had experienced the Long March , the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War. He is a well-known young general in the People's Liberation Army for his bravery in combat and repeated military exploits. due to He repeatedly made military exploits and was highly regarded by Mao Zedong.
On April 3, the leading troops arrived in the Qijiaojing area of Turpan, which was already within the activity range of the Uzbek bandits.
In the evening, the vanguard troops set up camp. After Luo Shaowei arranged the defense work of the camp, he led his guard company to inspect the terrain of the area where the troops would pass tomorrow.
Commander Luo led two combatants A guard was driving in front of the car in a jeep, and the guards were following closely in four large trucks.
Perhaps it was because the experienced warrior never cared about the safety of his life, or perhaps he underestimated the enemy and was negligent. Luo Shaowei ordered the jeep driver to speed up, and the guard force was left far away 10 kilometers away. .
The claws of the Usman cavalry bandits are now quietly reaching out to Luo Shaowei, who is radicalizing alone.
The eldest son of Sheldman and Usman, like his sister Yilier, grew up on a horse since childhood.
His long-term career as a gangster has trained him into an extremely ferocious and fierce beast, and he is a famous sharpshooter in the tribe, with perfect shots. The Sherman bandits are also the most elite in the Uzbek army. of one.
At this moment, Sherdman was on Usman's order to ambush the People's Liberation Army's transportation troops and business brigades in this generation. Bearded and as thick as a bear, Scheldman led his troops to hide behind a large slope.
Sheldman was lying on the felt blanket on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating. He didn't find any target all day long. He was about to get up and announce that he was withdrawing his troops and returning to their nest. Suddenly, a gangster who was responsible for observing on the top of the slope hurried towards him. He reported: The target was found not far ahead.
Like a hungry wolf discovering food, Shelderman suddenly got up and climbed onto the slope.
Luo Shaowei's jeep was seen in the telescope traveling in the sand dunes, in the direction where Sheldman was ambushing.
"is a big shot. There are probably guards behind him, so we must fight him quickly." Brothers, do your best, and after you kill the big shots in the People's Liberation Army, the Commander-in-Chief will reward you generously. "Sheldman ordered the gangsters.
The aggressive Luo Shaowei finally entered the ambush circle of the gangsters.
Sheldman raised the gun in his hand. With his gunshot, the gangsters ambushing on both sides of the road immediately fired loudly and fired at the jeep. The jeep stopped.
Luo Shaowei was shot and killed before he could draw his pistol. The two staff officers, the guard and the driver were just struggling to climb out of the overturned car when a hail of bullets hit them.
The two staff officers were shot and killed on the spot. The guard shot back several times, but the firepower was too strong and the driver and the driver were seriously injured and unable to move.
The gangsters jumped into the ditch, first stabbed the injured to death with sharp knives, and then looted all the documents and items in the car. He mounted his horse and fled in a hurry.
The four large trucks behind heard a burst of fierce gunshots from a distance and knew that the situation was bad. The guard company commander urged the driver to shift to the highest gear with red eyes, but the car could only go so fast. People were in a hurry, not the car. The safety of the deputy division commander was worrying.
Finally, four large trucks arrived at the scene of the accident.The tragic situation was unbearable: the jeep had overturned a deep groove, its limbs were broken, and bloody corpses were lying around the car, and all the people in the car had died.
On the same day, nine officers and soldiers of the Transportation Team of the Supply Department of the 16th Division drove 9 mules and horses. When they arrived at the carriage and Luquan, they were ambushed by rebels. Two were killed, two were seriously injured, and all mules and horses were robbed. After learning about it, the headquarters immediately ordered General Liu Liansheng to lead a squad of soldiers to arrive here in a car, catch up with the rebels again, and two more were seriously injured.
On the afternoon of the same day, the Division's Artillery Battalion sent two cannons to the 46th Regiment with a car. He was ambushed by a rebel in Tianshan Temple , and the deputy instructor of Artillery Battalion was taken away.
The blood of the martyrs dyed the snow peaks of the Dongtian Mountains red and soaked the land of Dongjiang!
Luo Shaowei, the first and only senior general to die in Xinjiang by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The news was quickly reported to the Xinjiang Military Region and the Northwest Military Region, and quickly reached the Central Military Commission in Beijing.
Luo Shaowei, who was the first regiment commander of the teaching brigade, served as the battalion commander of our army's first guard of honor. In Yan'an, they had been inspected by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and the special envoy of the US President Marshall with strict discipline and neat military appearance.
At that time, Mao Zedong was still inspecting other places. When he learned that his beloved general was ambushed by the Horse bandits and died bravely, he was sad and quickly informed on the report message sent by Wang Zhen: This Horse bandit should be eliminated resolutely!
Mr. Zhu made a more specific instruction: the horse bandits are highly mobile, familiar with the terrain, and have good firepower. Please send the chariot regiments to cooperate in combat.
The chariot regiment mentioned by Mr. Zhu is the 5th regiment of our chariot regiment. It was formerly the Tank Brigade of the Northeast Field Army and was the first built-in armored force of our army.
After the Peace Uprising in Peiping, the Tank Brigade was reorganized into the 5th Regiment of the 4th Field Army Chariot Division, and together with the Chariot Division, he was directly commanded by the Central Military Commission. In June 1949, he was ordered to support the Northwest battlefield and entered Xinjiang in November 1949.
At this time, the 5th tank regiment received the tank of Fu Zuoyi from Peking , and adapted the armored force of the Xinjiang Kuomintang army. It had 593 people, 10 tanks, 458 armored vehicles, and 20 transport vehicles. It can be said that it is a strong army.
However, before the arrival of the chariot regiment, Wang Zhen first deployed a "beheading operation". In mid-April 1950, the Battle of Hongliuxia began.
Hongliu Gorge, Balikun Grassland A natural pasture in the northeast of the country, with lush water and grass, and it is a natural place for grazing.
There are many well-growing red willows in Hongliu Gorge, hence the name. What's more, its geographical location is excellent, located in the center of the desert. The endless desert is undoubtedly its excellent natural barrier, and external enemies are inconvenient to attack.
Balikun Hongliuxia
Wusman discovered this treasure land and claimed that it was given to him by God. So he placed all the family members of the brigade here, and used it as a nest in the rear, and led the bandits to appear in the desert, burning, killing, looting and looting.
On April 11, the 16th Division of the 6th Army of the People's Liberation Army divided into two directions to attack the bandits' old nest Hongliuxia:
The 46th Regiment and the 40th Cavalry Regiment attacked the bandits from the eastern part of Hongliuxia under the leadership of the deputy division commander Ren Shutian. Under the leadership of the 16th Division Deputy Political Commissar , Jiang Yukun, , the 47th Regiment attacked the bandits from the west route.
On April 13, the Ren Shutian Department of East Road arrived in Heishan the day before the plan and entered the edge of Hongliu Gorge.
During this period, the commanders and soldiers defeated more than 30 bandits in the desert. After experiencing the extremely harsh climate and geographical factors of the desert, they finally overcome many difficulties and arrived at the designated location in advance.
At this time, the Us is full of his nest in Hongliu Gorge, and the bandit leaders of the Umbrella are having a meeting. Dozens of bandits sent out successively were defeated in the desert one after another, and Usman had a premonition that the People's Liberation Army was a large-scale encirclement and suppression this time. It seems that the Guangyin desert can't help him either.
But Usman never expected that the People's Liberation Army had quickly crossed the desert.
First, the Ubsy bandit Ebuxidan tribe, who was on guard duty in the Heishan area in the western part of Hongliuxia.
When the bandit suddenly discovered that the overwhelming and black PLA entered the hinterland of Hongliu Gorge, he was so scared that he didn't even breathe.
After a while, I came to my senses and knew that the disaster of the bandits was coming today. While sending people to deliver letters to Usman, he organized more than 600 cavalry of his subordinates to launch an attack on the People's Liberation Army.
Ebuxidan knew that his troops were no different from hitting stones with eggs, but the fierce bandits knew that only by sacrificing themselves could he hinder the People's Liberation Army for a period of time and buy time for the large bandits of the bandits. More than
600 bandits were riding horses, roaring wildly, and launching a desperate attack on Ren Shutian's troops.
The Forty Cavalry Regiment responsible for the lead, a unit of the Forty Regiment of the Cavalry Regiment, who was in charge of the fortunate effort, could not have expected that the bandits were caught off guard. After a fire exchange, the cavalry regiment lost more than a hundred cavalry and the troops retreated.
Ren Shutian's main force arrived in time. Faced with the desperate impact of the Wu bandit cavalry whistling all over the mountains and fields, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Ren Shutian decisively concentrated all the artillery in his troops.
The roaring shells exploded in the horses. The bandits of Ebuxidan finally could not withstand the strong artillery fire attack. The horses kept falling down. In just 20 minutes of fighting, more than 400 cavalry were killed and killed, and the remaining hundreds of remaining bandits fled in panic. The cost of more than 400 people in Busidan finally made the Usno bandits temporarily escape the fate of being annihilated.
After the Shutian department resolved the Ebuxidan bandits' army, the bandits' nest in Hongliu Gorge was gone. When the People's Liberation Army arrived at Hongliu Gorge, the bandits had just left, and cigarette butts were still smoking in the tent where the bandits were having a meeting. Ren Shutian decisively ordered a pursuit.
Usman, who fled in panic, knew that the People's Liberation Army would chase after him, so he cunned all the cattle and sheep of the tribe on the road. Thousands of cattle and sheep once again slowed down the speed of the encirclement and suppression troops, and Usman's bandit army finally escaped.
On April 14, Jiang Yukun’s troops on West Road arrived at Hongliu Gorge as planned.
The harsh geographical conditions and climate in the desert caused heavy losses to this force. On April 15, the Forty-Seventh Regiment had entered the depths of the desert after two days of march. At dusk, the troops were camping, and suddenly the reconnaissance company reported that the bandits were found in front of them.
Bandits' love is the order. With Jiang Yukun's order, more than 1,500 people boarded the war horse. The Ukrainian bandit Habulibali's troops were caught off guard. After losing more than 50 cavalry, they fled to the southeast direction, and the Forty-seventh Regiment followed closely.
Night gradually came, and there was no moon at that time, and the bandits who were familiar with the terrain finally fled. In the darkness, the People's Liberation Army chased after him for a while, but finally had to stop because the terrain was not familiar.
At this time, the desert was dark and could not see his five fingers. It was impossible to return to the camp. Seeing this, Jiang Yukun ordered the troops to camp on the spot. The soldiers who lacked coats and quilts fell asleep because of their exhaustion in single clothes.
The harsh desert climate caused the People's Liberation Army, which had just entered Xinjiang, to bear a huge price.
The next morning, when the Forty-Seventh Regiment woke up, each soldier was covered with a layer of white snow, and his bodies were almost frozen. Jiang Yukun urgently counted the entire regiment's forces, and nearly half of them were seriously frostbite, and some of them even had their ears and noses frozen.
Jiang Yukun considered the plan to attack the bandits with clamps and made a quick decision, leaving a group of people to take care of the frostbitten soldiers, and led the commanders and fighters who were still combative into Hongliuxia, and finally arrived at the destination as planned. After Ren and Jiang Er had some soldiers, both sides decided to stay in Hongliuxia, and Ren Shutian led his troops to pursue them.
A blizzard caused heavy losses to Ren's troops, with nearly 400 people seriously frostbite, and the troops had to return to rest. At this point, the Battle of Hongliu Gorge ended.
Although most of the Ukrainian bandits escaped in this battle, they destroyed the Ukrainian bandits' lair. Usman lost his support from the rear and became a bandit, which seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the bandits. He was also afraid of being annihilated and his whereabouts were vague.
Its main force encountered bandit suppression troops six times in Xiaobao, Bicheng and other places. Usman took the method of escape to avoid a decisive battle. All units of the People's Liberation Army gained something many times, but the main force of the Ukrainian bandits was never encircled and annihilated.
5 In May, the Northwest Military Region sent a special flight squadron to support the Xinjiang Military Region in the eradication of the Ukrainian bandits. On May 10, the reconnaissance plane finally discovered the main force camp of the Ukrainian bandits on the front line of Heishantou.
At this time, the 5th Regiment of the Tank finally arrived at the front line. General Wang Zhen was so angry that he personally deployed the combat plan. Elite troops were drawn from the People's Liberation Army of Xinjiang, with a total of two infantry regiments and two cavalry regiments, and three routes attacked Heishantou.
At the same time, considering the fierceness of the horse bandits, they adjusted 32 cannons and equipped with more than 120 large troop transport trucks to enhance the troops' rapid combat capabilities.
On the morning of May 24, the troops of the Third Route Army arrived at the designated location of Heishantou. With a command, 41 tanks launched an attack from Usman camp in all directions.
Unprepared bandits rushed out of their tents and rode on war horses, and the camp was in chaos.
Usman cavalry, who are accurate in shooting and good at cavalry fighting, encountered a nemesis for the first time in their life.
The raindrop-like bullets made the tank's armor "clang" and gunpowder splattered everywhere, but the armored vehicle was not damaged at all. While breaking into the bandits' horses, it used the machine gun to cross and attack, and the horses fell down in pieces like cutting grain.
The attack of planes, underground tanks and artillery was finally avalanche at that time.
In the battle at the Heishantou, Usman's main force suffered losses. Usman only led more than 200 people to break through the siege and fled north. At Beitashan , there were only more than a thousand people left.
Our cavalry who participated in the bandit suppression battle
In July, after a fierce battle with our bandit suppression troops in Xingxingxia , Usman led more than 500 people to flee to Gansu. Finally, camps were set up in Haizi area of Gansu.
In the next few months, due to the heavy tasks of the People's Liberation Army, it was impossible to draw out troops for the moment.
Usman took the opportunity to recruit soldiers and expanded vigorously, gathering more than 200 bandits. He went outside to rob his house, killed people and set fire, and retaliated against the new people's regime in a crazy manner, and was very arrogant.
In accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Military Commission, the Northwest Military Region issued an order to suppress bandits: In order to completely eliminate rebels, consolidate social security, and ensure people's lives and property, the three provinces of Gansu, Qinghai and New Zealand were organized to suppress the bandits, and unified the command of the Army Commander Huang Xinting.
This meeting is aimed at completely annihilation of the bandit in the Taijiner area of Qaidam, and reduce the difficulties of our army to liberate Tibet.
At the same time, the Northwest Military Region dispatched more than 4,500 officers and soldiers from 4 regiments, 2 battalions and 3 battalions of the 1st Army, 2nd Army, 3rd Army, and 4th Army to carry out a three-province battle.
Northwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China also raised 1.23 million jin of grain and grass and a batch of cold-proof materials in Gansu's three counties (cities), Zhangye , Jiuquan , and Dunhuang , and organized 60 cars and 800 camels to transport combat preparation materials to the front line.
At the end of 1950, the newly formed cavalry brigade of the 3rd Army moved to the front lines of Jiuquan, Yumen, Anxi and Dunhuang, chasing and annihilation of bandits, and showing its strength. They chased and annihilated the remnants of Wang Ying and Li Shouxin in the Dingxin area of northeastern Jiuquan, and captured more than 100 reactionary officers and soldiers of the 5th Cavalry Army headed by Ma Xiajiao in Anxi. But I never found the Usman bandits who fled from Xinjiang.
Everyone is very anxious about this. The captain Li Wenpeng sent someone to contact the local government, hoping to get information, and at the same time sent scouts with rich combat experience to go out to look for bandit traces.
In December, a herder came to report that Usman fled from Xinjiang through Anxi, Gansu and Mazongshan, , and Nanshan, Dunhuang.
The cavalrymen advanced lightly, forcing more than 130 miles a day to reach the Waka Cave west of Dunhuang. They were in a breeze and snow, and they were ambushed for two days and three nights, but the bandits were still missing.
Some soldiers have frostbite their ears, some have frostbite their fingers, and the more serious thing is that there is not much dry food left, and the supplies sent by the transportation team are far away in a foreign land, and hunger threatens the lives of the cavalry soldiers.
Ctually, the cavalry scout came back. He said that Usman also learned from the local tribe leader that the People's Liberation Army was coming to attack him and fled 20 miles north of the Wako Cave.
machine must not be lost, and the time will never come again. Captain Li Wenpeng made a quick decision and followed and chased, so that the enemy could not be allowed to run away again. But the soldiers have not had a meal in three days. He ordered the slaughter of livestock seized from the battle and let the soldiers fill their stomachs.
In the evening, a bright moon shines on the desert. The troops are riding fast. The cavalry vanguard spots the bandits. There is a burst of slashing and shooting. The bandits are chased and annihilated by the People's Liberation Army one after another.
The commander of the reconnaissance company, Zhang Lakou, rode forward and the soldiers were not willing to lag behind and fought hard.
Suddenly, a bullet hit Company Commander Zhang's right leg, and the bright red blood stained the saddle red. The instructor hurriedly stepped forward to take care of him, but he said: "Don't worry about me. You quickly organize the company to charge. You must not let the enemy escape again."
The horse bandits who were killed on the battlefield
His comrades rushed forward to fight with the enemy. Company Commander Zhang stayed behind and was not idle, taking care of the wounded and interrogating the prisoners.
According to the confessions of the bandit prisoners, they were Usman's rearguard, and Usman led the bandit brigade to flee to the Nanshan Haizi area.
At this time, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the temperature dropped sharply. Li Wenpeng considered that the troops had been fighting for days and were exhausted, so he decided to stop the pursuit and rest and reorganize the troops.
At the end of 1950, Huang Xinting ordered the cavalry brigade and the camel corps to form the "Gansu Suppression Regiment" (referred to as the "Suppression Regiment"), with the regiment leader Li Wenpeng, political commissar An Jun, and chief of staff Xing Kunshan .
The Jiuquan District Office also mobilized people of all ethnic groups to form a front-line transport team with more than 900 camels to cooperate with the troops in suppressing bandits.
The "Advance Suppression Regiment" held a swearing-in meeting and loudly put forward the battle slogan "Capture Usman alive and make great contributions to the people." The entire regiment's officers and soldiers are in full gear and ready to go.
At around 4 p.m. on February 17, 1951, the "Advance Suppression Regiment" troops departed from Dunhuang in two groups and headed towards the Haizi area.
In the harsh winter of the Gobi, the climate is harsh. The north wind blows in the yellow sand and roars. The snowballs are like knives poking and cones, constantly attacking the cavalry on the expedition.
The soldiers traveled more than 400 miles a day and two nights without leaving their saddles and horses, and arrived at the Haizi theater on time before dawn on the 19th.
At this time, a ray of dawn appeared in the eastern sky. After the gangsters camped, they did not notice the arrival of the People's Liberation Army cavalry. This is indeed a good time to annihilate enemies in close combat.
However, the right wing troops have not yet arrived. In order not to delay the fighter opportunity, the regiment commander Li Wenpeng decisively ordered: the 4th company took the right-wing troops' fighting position and launched the attack from the right; the 3rd company entered the battle from the left; the reconnaissance company went straight to the enemy camp from the middle.
Thousands of cavalry advanced bravely, and the soldiers rushed into the bandit's yurt from the east, north and west directions.
Suddenly, the quiet Haizi was filled with gunshots, horses neighing, and people shouting. Before the bandits understood what was going on, the cold muzzles of guns were pressed against their backs: "Don't move, you won't kill until you hand over the gun!" "The People's Liberation Army gives preferential treatment to prisoners!" the soldiers shouted in the newly learned Kazakh language.
Some gangsters woke up from their dreams and raised their hands as prisoners. However, Usman was not seen among the prisoners of war.
Most of the captured horse bandit soldiers were rebels from the 7th Cavalry Division.
Li Wenpeng left a small number of troops to guard the prisoners, so he led his brigade to pursue and annihilate the bandits in three directions.
At noon of the battle, Yang Fuhai, a soldier of the 4th Company, killed Usman's deputy commander Jiabai in Toudaogou. Five soldiers including Wang Yunlong of the reconnaissance company found the injured Habas from the grass.
Just as the soldiers were immersed in the joy of winning the battle, the commander of the 3rd company sent Pegasus to report to Li Wenpeng: "The one riding the white horse in front is Usman!"
Li Wenpeng immediately deployed the mission: "Usman is in front, try to catch him alive. If it doesn't work, he can be killed, and he must not be allowed to escape again."
In an instant, hundreds of iron cavalry were rushing towards the direction where Usman was escaping. The soldiers raised their guns and brandished their knives and charged straight at the enemy team. Rows of hate-filled bullets swept past them, and the bandits fell off their horses one after another.
The guy on the white horse fled forward as hard as he could, turning around from time to time and shooting at the pursuing soldiers.
Cultural teacher Kong Qingyun fought bravely in the hail of bullets, leading the way. He cleverly dodged the bullets fired by Usman, raised the reins and kicked hard, and the horse galloped like an arrow from the string, carrying a gust of wind.
The moment the two horses approached, Kong Qingyun flew away from the horse, pulled Usman off the horse with all his strength, rolled to the ground and started fighting.
Wusman, who was tall, fat and very strong, stabbed Kong Qingyun's forehead with the tip of a gun, causing blood to flow.But Kong Qingyun showed no sign of weakness and kept fighting with fists and legs.
At this time, Liu Hualin, the cook who came on horseback, took advantage of the situation and hit Usman on the head with the butt of his rifle. He was so dizzy that his eyes were filled with sparks, and his legs went limp and he lay on the ground.
Kong Qingyun and Liu Hualin tied Usman Wuhuada with ropes and returned to the camp happily.
After the war, the Northwest Military Region awarded the reconnaissance company of the 3rd Army Cavalry Brigade as the "Heroic Company for Suppression of Bandits", and company commander Zhang Lakou was awarded the title of "Heroes for Suppression of Bandits".
At this point, the battle in the three provinces to encircle and suppress the bandit Usman ended successfully.
From March 5, 1950 to February 19, 1951, the People's Liberation Army lasted 352 days, fought 6,000 miles, and achieved major victories.
planned to annihilate 21,884 bandits, including 435 killed or injured, 1,680 captured, and 2,769 surrendered. 17,000 people who were threatened by the bandits were liberated.
On April 30, 1951, a mass meeting of tens of thousands of people was held in the People's Square of Dihua City to publicly try Usman and other criminals.
The presiding judge is Bao Han, Chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government and President of the Provincial People's Court, and the public prosecutor is Liu Fensheng, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Xinjiang Procuratorate.
When Usman, who was full of crimes, and other prisoners were escorted into the venue, tens of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted: "Shoot the counterrevolutionaries who have committed the most heinous crimes!" "Usman has committed a heinous crime and asks the government to resolutely suppress it!" The live broadcast of the conference was quickly spread throughout the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains through cable broadcasts.
After the trial, Usman and others were taken to the execution ground and executed.
