In the autumn of 1948, the Kuomintang garrison of Shenyang, mainly the 53rd Army of the Eighth Corps and the local security regiment.
The commander of the Eighth Corps and the commander of the 53rd Army was Zhou Fucheng.
The deputy commander was Zhao Guoping.
Before the Battle of Jinzhou, the 53rd Army held a meeting of high-ranking cadres. After the meeting, deputy commander Zhao Guoping and several division commanders Zhang Rubin, Mao Zhiquan, and Liu Deyu deliberately chatted idly: "The superior strength of the communist army is directed at Jinzhou, and this move is really powerful, and if Jinzhou is not protected, it will form a trend of 'closing the door and fighting dogs', and we will suffer from the enemy on our stomachs and backs, which is a very serious situation." As a general, you should see the situation clearly, but you should not talk about it. ”
Division Commander Mao Zhiquan immediately said: "My troops are all new recruits, and they will not stand up to the fight, and they will stain everyone's light." ”
Commander Liu also said: "This battle cannot be fought, and the soldiers of our division are the same as what Yu Peng (Mao Zhiquan nickname) said." ”
Master Zhang said, "Let's listen to the vice seat!" He smiled a little, and looked like he was spying on secrets.
Zhao Guoping said: "There is nothing clever about the military department's methods, and they are not based on everyone's intentions. As long as everyone is united and has a clear understanding of the situation, there will be a future. ”
Why doesn't Zhao Guoping panic?
Because he has already connected with the CCP, Li Shucheng, a world friend, already lives in his own home, has a bottom in his heart, and has a way to go.
Subsequently, the officers and men of the 53rd Army asked the generals who had fled back from the Jinzhou or Western Liaoning battlefields "how is the situation?", and the answer was mostly "it is finished."
On November 16, Jinzhou was liberated, and on the 28th, Liao Yaoxiang's corps was destroyed in western Liaoning, and the People's Liberation Army quickly moved south to Shenyang.
At 8:00 p.m. on the evening of 30 July, Zhou Fucheng held an emergency meeting at the headquarters of the Eighth Corps to study the situation, and the personnel present were Jiang Xibin, chief of staff of the corps; Zhao Guoping, deputy commander of the 53rd Army; Guo Xianrong, chief of staff; and division commanders Wang Lihuan, Liu Deyu, Zhang Rubin, and Mao Zhiquan. Before the commanders of Liu and Zhang had arrived, Zhou announced a meeting.
He first read the telegram from Nanjing, saying that he wanted them to stand firm in Shenyang and wait for help. The crowd vetoed it, saying, "It is a deception to hold on to help." ”
Zhou Fucheng asked everyone to speak. But the participants looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, and didn't say a word. After a while, Zhou Fucheng said: "Guoping will talk about it first." ”
Zhao Guoping then said: "Now the situation is very serious, the first strong fortifications can not be held, the communist army is approaching step by step, and the next two or three fortifications are not useful." Before the meeting, I exchanged views with everyone, and unanimously agreed that this battle could not be fought, and could not be fought..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Fucheng snapped the table and angrily said, How can I say this, besides, I will be sorry for you...
"I'm not afraid of death, and if I'm afraid of death, I won't say anything." Instead, Zhao Guoping openly showed his bottom card, "I have the cover of my own army and the support of the Communist Party." I am for you, and for everyone to have a bright future. ”
At this time, the division commander Wang Lihuan suddenly pulled him out of his seat: "Vice seat, go outside the door and say that I have something to say." ”
Zhao Guoping had already made preparations, and the guards under his entourage were waiting in a solemn position one by one, so they went outside the door and said to the king, "You say!"
"If Zhou buckles us all up, it's bad. I'll go back and prepare for action. ”
After Wang Lihuan left, Zhao Guoping returned to the house and said, "Commander, Master Wang said that he would act immediately when he returned, and I don't believe you asked Deputy Yang (Zhou's bodyguard) to ask about it." ”
Zhou Fucheng asked indeed, just as Zhao Guoping said. Zhao Guoping said: "Now everyone is reluctant to fight. The 130th Division already had Chinese representatives there in the negotiations. If you don't believe me, ask the deputy division commander of Xia Shi (Xia is Zhou's brother-in-law). He picked up the phone casually, called the summer phone, and transferred the phone to Zhou Fucheng.
Summer happily admitted. Zhou Fucheng dropped the phone, fell on the chair and said, "Guoping, you pit me!"
After a while, he said, "I'll direct it myself!" ”
Guo Xianrong, chief of staff of the military department, cried and complained while holding the map: "In the past, I said you didn't believe it, look, now it's like this." ”
It turned out that he usually made a lot of rumors to Zhou Fucheng, but they were not adopted by Zhou Fucheng. Zhou Fucheng called the division commander Zhang Rubin again, and said, "Are you not fighting either?" “
Zhang said: "Whoever said not to fight, the gun still rang." It's not that you don't fight, it's that you can't fight. Now it's a step backwards, and it really can't be fought. ”
"Fuck, after half a day of talking, I still don't fight." Zhou Fucheng said and then fell back on the chair and said, "Guoping, you are really worthy of me!" ”
Zhao Guoping saw that his anger seemed to be a little smaller, and said: "Commander consider it!" I still have business. "Just go.
In the evening, Zhao Guoping returned to the corps headquarters, and several people were competing to read a letter. They saw Zhao Guoping and said, "The commander is gone, and he left you a letter." ”
Zhao Guoping took a look at it and wrote:
"Brother Guoping, the matter has come to an end, I can't do anything, I hope you will take care of the aftermath." I'm leaving. Zhou Fucheng. That's late. ”
"When did you leave?"
"After walking for more than an hour, the masquerade merchant left."
Zhao Guoping's aide-de-camp Chen Shunhe said, "Vice-seat, it's so dangerous! Almost nothing happened. ”
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Chen Shunhe said, "After you left the Corps Headquarters, Zhou summoned Deputy Yang and Mei Nianfeng and asked first, 'How do I treat you two?' They replied that it was good. Zhou said: 'I give you both a task, shoot the deputy commander to death.' Deputy Yang said, "Whatever can be done in this matter is the chief, and if the deputy commander breaks the law, you can report it." If the commander can shoot the deputy commander, it will become unreasonable. Mei Nianfeng said: "Even if you are desperate to do this, in fact you can't do it." The deputy commander has always carried no gun with himself, but now the gun does not leave his body, and the number of retinues has increased. Deng Yonglin knows both martial arts and can shoot with both hands. Who can beat him! Zhou listened to these words and said, 'Fuck! You have also surrendered. 'Pick up the pen and write, write and pull, pull and write, write whatever.' It turned out to be a letter to you! ”
As a result, Zhou Fucheng could not kill Zhao Guoping, but quietly ran away on his own.
After Zhou Fucheng ran away, Zhao Guoping took over the command of the whole city, ordered the protection of the factory, and prepared to meet the People's Liberation Army.
On the second day, representatives of the underground Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army came. On the third day, Luo Shunchu, the political commissar of the Third Column of the Northeast Field Army, entered the city and discussed the uprising with Zhao Guoping. Suddenly, the generals in Shenyang called Zhao Guoping one after another to inquire about the situation, and some of them reported the number of the troops and asked to be listed as rebel troops. Zhao Guoping replied: "You will not move on the spot and listen to the arrangements of the People's Liberation Army." ”
In the afternoon, the defenders of Shenyang all laid down their weapons. At this point, the entire territory of the northeast was liberated.
Interestingly, Zhao Guoping and others revolted and threw themselves into the light, and later Zhao Guoping became the director of the department; while Zhou Fucheng was captured alive by the People's Liberation Army and taken prisoner on the way to escape.
