In the revolutionary years, Hubei Hong'an can be described as a red land, where Soviet power was established very early, and the famous Red Fourth Front was born here. Influenced by progressive ideas, thousands of people in the county joined the army to participate in the war, of which more than 140,000 people sacrificed their lives for the country, and 22,552 martyrs were registered. In the test of blood and fire, Hong'an also gave birth to a large number of battle-hardened generals, which is a well-known general county. The Xiong Yingtang we are going to talk about today is the founding major general who came out of Hong'an, Hubei Province.
Xiong Yingtang, born in 1912, is a native of Hong'an County, Hubei Province. He was born poor, and when he was 7 years old, he worked long-term jobs for others, and suffered grievances and torture. When he grew up a little, Xiong Yingtang learned the craft of haircutting, but poverty and hunger still haunted him. In 1928, the Red Army came to the local village to recruit soldiers, and 16-year-old Xiong Yingtang carried a haircut burden to register, and the soft and hard bubbles were accepted. At first, Xiong Yingtang worked in the army and gave haircuts to soldiers, until in a battle, he bravely captured a gun, which said goodbye to haircuts and went to the front line to fight.
After that, Xiong Yingtang participated in the Long March of the Red Army, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, during which he fought bravely and repeatedly accomplished miraculous feats, and gradually changed from an ordinary soldier to a commander who commanded thousands of troops and horses. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiong Yingtang was awarded the rank of founding major general, and later became the secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, which can be described as a beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, General Xiong's two sons did not succeed as their fathers, on the contrary, their lives were corrupt and eventually even embarked on the road of crime.
General Xiong has twin sons, the older brother is called Xiong Beiping, and the younger brother is called Xiong Ziping. Because his father was busy with official duties, "Erxiong" grew up under the doting of his mother from an early age, and developed the temper of a brother who did whatever he wanted. When he grew up, the "second bear" became more arrogant, often beating and scolding teachers and classmates, and his family sent them to join the army, but he did not get the slightest change.
In the 1970s, General Xiong and his wife were transferred to Sichuan to work, and without the supervision of their parents, the pair of "two bears" were even more spirited. Under the guise of "recruiting workers", "recruiting cadres" and "transferring jobs", they have defiled many women, in addition, the "two bears" have also bullied the local people and become a scourge on the other side. Soon, the "two bears" were targeted by the police, and with the support of the central government, they were eventually arrested and arrested. In the face of interrogation, "Erxiong" refused to cooperate, and shouted "Wait for my father to come back and clean up after you."
When General Xiong, who was far away in Sichuan, learned of the crimes committed by his son, his face turned blue, and at the same time he said, "I will not interfere in official business, and my relatives in the family will not be allowed to interfere." After losing his father's mountain, his brother Xiong Beiping's attitude immediately changed and he actively confessed. But his younger brother Xiong Ziping was still arrogant and did not look at anyone. The different confession attitudes of the "two bears" also determine their final outcome.
In November 1979, at a trial conference in Hangzhou, Xiong Ziping was sentenced to death; Xiong Beiping was sentenced to a suspended death sentence. Soon, Xiong Ziping was escorted to the execution site and executed by firing squad, which was very gratifying for a while. At the same time, this also played a deterrent effect, and other high-ranking cadres and children took it as a warning.
