In November 1949, when all the Chinese people were still immersed in the joy of turning the peasants into masters after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chen Xilian, the founding general who had just taken office as secretary of the Chongqing Municipal PARTY Committee, was full of gloom and could not be happy at all, and he also issued an order for martial law in Chongqing City late one night, and dispatched 10,000 military police to dispatch urgently. What the hell happened? Although Chen Xilian was born in Hong'an, Hubei Province, after being taken by Zhan Caifang to join the army, he formed an indissoluble relationship with Chongqing very early.
In 1942, Chen Xilian, who was the commander of the military sub-district, was transferred back to Yan'an to study at the Kang Da. During this period, he was introduced to marry Li Ge, a hot-blooded young woman who had just graduated from kang university. The love in the artillery fire is precious, and it also dispels the turbulent haze of many anti-Japanese war periods. As it happens, Chen Xilian's wedding day is also the fiftieth birthday of the division commander Liu Shuai, so someone has a riddle. Liu Shichang He Shou, Brigadier Chen married a place name, and the mystery is the meaning of Chongqing to take the double happiness Linmen. In 1949, after Chen Xilian, then commander of the corps, broke through the enemy's river defense and natural danger, he led his troops to detour around the great southwest region to counterattack and annihilate the enemy corps Song Xilian's troops. At the end of November, he conquered the enemy's capital Chongqing in a battle, and served as the commander of the military region and also served as the mayor of Chongqing.
At that time, Chongqing, which had been devastated by the war, was devastated and in ruins, so he even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rectify public order and improve people's livelihood in the city, but he was assassinated by the reactionary forces and spies lurking in the city by the enemy. In order to preserve the results of victory and the safety of people's lives and property, they will not be lost. Therefore, late in the night after Chen Xilian took office, he suddenly issued an order for martial law in Chongqing City and urgently mobilized 10,000 military police in the city. Taking advantage of the thick night, a large-scale search and arrest operation was carried out throughout the city, which caught the enemy lurking in the city by surprise. In the early hours of the morning, Chen Xilian killed another Hui horse gun and carried out a new round of large-scale searches, completely cleaning up the unstable factors in Chongqing.
Afterwards, Chen Xilian also actively issued policies to protect the safety of citizens' property, encouraged everyone to take stock of their family property for the record, and sent propaganda officers to the streets and alleys to spread the advanced thinking of our army, expose all kinds of rumors spread by the enemy during the retreat, vigorously grasp the problems left over from history such as the beggars of the displaced people in the city, and actively improve the people's livelihood, dredge up shipping, straighten out the wharves, and ensure the daily life of the local people. Although Chen Xilian was mayor of Chongqing for a short time, he restored Chongqing to pre-war prosperity as quickly as possible. And his relationship with Chongqing is also of far-reaching significance, so some local democrats and highly respected three old and rich gentry are also very satisfied with his work in Chongqing.
