"The mountains and rivers of the homeland are strong, and the crowd looks forward to spring." Who is the hero who praises unity and laughs after laughing? ”
In the autumn of 1946, with infinite expectations for New China and infinite attachment to comrades, Luo Shiwen, who had been imprisoned for many years, came to the end of his life after composing this "desperate poem" in the Baigongguan Detention Center.
And his executioner Xu Guilin could not have dreamed that in just 4 years, he would also see the day he was executed.
Xu Guilin, formerly known as Xu Tiande, was born in 1919 in Anyang, Henan.
Although Xu Guilin's family was not rich, he also gritted his teeth and kept Xu Guilin studying until the outbreak of the July 7 Incident in 1937 and Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China.
The cruel acts of the Japanese invaders and the shattering of the country's mountains and rivers deeply stimulated Xu Guilin, inspired by anti-Japanese propaganda such as "one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops."
Xu Guilin joined the Kuomintang Cadet Corps at the age of 20 and joined the ranks of the Nationalist Reserve.
However, after Xu Guilin joined the cadet corps, he did not go to the battlefield to make contributions to the country, but instead followed the First Police Corps of the Ministry of the Interior to Chongqing, the capital at that time, a year later, in 1940.
Because of Xu Guilin's excellent physical fitness, excellent marksmanship and excellent physical skills, Xu Guilin was selected to become the special agent squad leader of the Fifth Regiment of Secret Agents of the Central Military Commission.
According to the accounts of the survivors of the Zha Di Cave later, Xu Guilin had a good marksmanship and often held a revolver in front of them.
Although his behavior of turning the gun with his fingers was slightly frivolous, he often shot all six shots in the subsequent shots. The excellence of Xu Guilin's marksmanship is evident.
Later, because Xu Guilin's offensive was swift and fierce, he gradually became a "sharp knife" in the special agent regiment. In the subsequent establishment of the Wanglongmen Special Agent Team, Xu Guilin was also known as the "Four King Kongs" in the team.
It is said that "the old society turned people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people", Xu Guilin, who was in the Wanglongmen special task force, was there
Although the southwestern government as a thug has also eliminated many agents of the Japanese and Wang puppet governments, it is more likely that they have attacked the "dissidents" of our party's united front personnel and other democratic parties.
Gradually, Xu Guilin was cultivated into a demon who did not distinguish between right and wrong, only listened to the orders of the upper seal, and killed people without blinking.
In 1942, Xu Guilin was selected by the head of the "military command" to join the inspection corps, and in the following three years, he gradually rose to the deputy captain of the police detachment of the inspection corps by virtue of his fierce style and cruel torture methods.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the goal of the Kuomintang reactionary government gradually shifted from anti-Japanese reconstruction to anti-communist suppression of the Communist Party, as a low-level person specializing in dirty and miscellaneous work in the military command system, Xu Guilin was arranged to work as a guard in the White Mansion Detention Center in 1946, and personally participated in the killing of revolutionary martyrs Luo Shiwen and Che Yaoxian in August of that year.
Later, Xu Guilin was favored by the great secret agent Xu Yuanju, and half a year later, in March 1947, he was transferred to the guard group of the Second Office of the Chongqing Xingyuan and became a veritable "watchdog" of Chiang Kai-shek.
In December of that year, he was appointed as the director of the Second Detention Center of Zha Di Dong and became Xu Yuanju's right and left hand.
In the Zha di Dong Detention Center, Xu Guilin often intimidated the imprisoned benevolent people, and because Xu Guilin had a fierce face and cruel means, he often stared at the martyrs with a pair of dead fish eyes during interrogation and inspection, like a night owl waiting for the opportunity to pounce, so the revolutionaries imprisoned in the Zha Di Dong gave Xu Guilin the nickname of "owl".
During the period when Xu Guilin was in charge of the detention center, more than 300 patriots and revolutionaries, including those such as Jiang Zhujun, Xu Jianye, He Xuesong, etc., or because of the "June 1st" arrest case, or because of the "Xiaomin Revolution" case, or because of the "Advance Report" case, were severely tortured and inhumanly tortured by Xu Guilin.
By 1949, with the end of the three major battles and the Battle of Crossing the River, the Kuomintang government, knowing that the tide was over, ordered its own violent organs to begin systematically slaughtering imprisoned revolutionaries in batches while fleeing in a hurry.
In September of that year, Xu Guilin brutally slaughtered the instigators of the "Xi'an Incident", and after the patriotic general General Yang Hucheng's family was old and young, he participated in the killing of more than 30 revolutionaries led by Jiang Zhujun on November 14.
More than ten days later, on the eve of the liberation of Chongqing, Xu Guilin, who received orders from Mao Renfeng, commanded all his men to carry out a brutal massacre of detainees in the detention center, resulting in the sacrifice of more than 180 martyrs.
Because Xu Guilin's rank was too low, he was not able to board the flight evacuated by the Kuomintang reactionary government.
In order to save his life, Xu Guilin led the remnants of his men to flee to the Huaying Mountain area and joined Hu Zongnan's troops in an attempt to defend the danger.
Unfortunately, the dream of this group of Remnants of the Kuomintang to occupy the mountains as kings did not last long, and soon after Xu Guilin's troops were defeated by the People's Liberation Army, Xu Guilin was also captured in Santai County, Sichuan Province.
Unfortunately, because Xu Guilin has been serving in the secret service for a long time, he does not appear much and has no military position.
Xu Guilin evaded the interrogation of PLA soldiers, and after receiving a few silver dollars, returned to his father-in-law's house on New Year's Day in 1950.
Although Xu Guilin, who was responsible for the lives of hundreds of revolutionaries and patriots, escaped the arrest of the People's Liberation Army, he fell into the legal net of the public security system under the report of a big mother.
It turned out that in the spring of 1950, Xu Guilin, who had been lurking in Chongqing for several months, realized that "the wind and noise had passed", and when he saw that his family was sitting on the mountain and eating the sky, he had to show his face and sell vegetables to make a living.
However, this tiger-backed bear waist, speaking a Henan dialect that is incompatible in Chongqing, and usually sneaking around and likes to look east and west, quickly attracted the attention of a big mother.
This Lady Ye Lanying also joined the revolution in her early years, and was once imprisoned in a slag hole by the Kuomintang reactionaries.
During his imprisonment, Ye Lanying met the "owl" Xu Guilin many times, and later survived the massacre in Zha Di Dong, and became the director of the chongqing Yuhua Textile Factory nursery after liberation.
When Ms. Ye caught a glimpse of this vegetable vendor when she was selling vegetables, she felt that this person was not simple, and her experience in fighting wits and courage with the reactionaries over the years made her deeply suspect that the man in front of her was the demon of the scum cave.
After Ms. Ye carefully examined it, she stepped forward and pretended to buy vegetables, which was really tentative. After seeing the face of the greengrocer, he quickly identified him as Xu Guilin, whose hands were full of revolutionary blood.
Ms. Ye took advantage of the situation to leave and quickly reported the case to the public security bureau, when the public security cadres and policemen who were distressed and resentful of letting go of Xu Guilin, the head of the slag cave, were overjoyed after learning the information, and quickly organized police forces to monitor Xu Guilin.
After obtaining corroborating evidence, the police arrested Xu Guilin in March 1950.
On May 18, 1950, Xu Guilin was kidnapped by Wuhuada, paraded in the streets and executed by firing squad.
Finally, under the obvious light of heaven, the heroic spirit of the slag cave could be blinded; finally under the supervision of the masses of the people, Xu Guilin ended his sinful life.
