In November 1948, with the end of the Liaoshen Campaign, it marked the liberation of all of Northeast China. Along with the military struggle against the Kuomintang, the PLA's campaign to suppress the many "beards" in the northeast did not stop for a moment. After three stages of suppressing bandits, the Northeast Bureau finally eliminated the bandits in the territory in March 1949 and transferred them to normal public order.
Soon after liberation, one of the instructions of the central authorities on the work in the northeast was to continue to carry out the work of suppressing bandits in depth. The Northeast Bureau is very confident in restoring the power, and there are no bandits in the northeast to suppress. In China, the northeast has the most bandits, and the northeast bureau's work of suppressing bandits is very fruitful. The reason for such achievements is that He Jinnian, an expert in the suppression of bandits in our army, has made an indispensable contribution.
He Jinnian, a Shaanxi Hanzi who was born as a student, fought wits and courage with the Majia Army in the northwest during the Red Army period, and almost died at the hands of the Ma Family Army. There is no way to know how a general who has gradually grown up and led his troops to fight has obtained this talent for suppressing bandits.
Perhaps, in the barren Loess Plateau and the bitter west wind, fighting the ferocious horse bandits has made people wise and tenacious. In the northern Shaanxi base area, in 1939 Zhou Enlai was attacked by a gang of bandits in Laoshan. Peng Dehuai summoned He Jinnian, who was fighting on the front line, back to suppress the bandits, and he chased them all over the mountains and ravines until all the bandits were killed.
In the northeast, the forest and sea snowfields, tall trees and dense grass, the geographical environment is very different, but the focus of the bandits is still tracking. However, the mountains are high and densely forested in the old forest, and there is no considerable experience that will soon be "Mada". In addition, the "bearded" in the northeast does not eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and the relationship with the people around the old nest is handled very well, and eyeliner is installed everywhere, and a little wind and grass are pulled and scattered like the wind.
He Jinnian trained himself as a hunter, there were not many people, there were enough elite soldiers, and the chaotic brigade of people and horses would only fight grass and snakes. Bring dry food, look for traces, look at footprints and grass marks, pick up horse dung, destroy secret points (hidden points in the bandit mountain where grain, guns and bullets and other supplies are stored), no matter how the bandits go around in circles, they only chase and fight all the way. His horse was exhausted and died, fell off a cliff and fell to his death, he was sick and had to be chased on a stretcher, and the bandits were chased with nowhere to hide and could not run. The "four flagpoles" of the bandits headed by Xie Wendong are the ones who were chased to death, and those who did not die were caught and shot in public trial.
The great cause of the northeast has been accomplished, and the division of four wild tigers and wolves wearing dog skin hats has swarmed out of the customs and attacked the city all the way to "liberate all of China." In June 1949, He Jinnian's 48th Army reached Jiangxi, and the bandits in small groups heard of the big name and fled in the wind. The 48th Army quickly liberated Ruijin, Ningdu, Xingguo, Yudu, Jinggangshan and other areas, more than ten years ago this was still the famous Red Soviet Area, the time is really emotional!
However, the cuiwei peak in southwest Jiangxi, which is located at the junction of the three provinces, has a difficult road, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is entrenched in the bandit leader Huang Zhenzhong, endangering the township. He shouted with natural danger: He can't conquer CuiWei Peak in ten years! Huang Zhenzhong was idle and idle, a bit of a fist and foot, colluded with the Kuomintang Ningdu Jingwei Regiment Yan Weishen, and when the Red Army came, he pretended to join the Red Army and swung to profit on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communists. He fled after the Red Army revolted, and since 1930 he and his team have killed more than 80,000 people in the old revolutionary areas.
After the Platon Army pressed the border in Jiangxi, he sneaked to Cuiwei Peak and was made an official by Chiang Kai-shek as "Commander of Appeasement in the Yuzhang Mountains of Jiangxi", in a vain attempt to cooperate with the Kuomintang in counterattacking the mainland.
Huang Zhenzhong led the team and their families to the mountain, numbering more than 3,000 people, and also moved the equipment of Ningdu's arsenal, power plant, printing plant, and mint to the mountain.
In addition, he scavenged a large number of guns, ammunition and large and small earthen guns, and used arsenals to make mines. When Hu Lian's army fled to Taiwan through Ningdu, it also sent a batch of guns and ammunition to Huang Zhenzhong. He had stockpiled the grain on the mountain for 3 years, and the Kuomintang planes could also airdrop supplies.
Cuiwei Peak is very steep, with only one mountain trail and multiple hills as a barrier to each other. There are also many natural caves in the mountain, which are interconnected with a little modification, and can be hidden, and many bunkers have been built in Huangzhen according to the terrain. Huang Zhenzhong occupied Cui Weifeng, thinking that he had obtained the Ten Thousand Year Pile, and was proud, and actually set up a theater garden and a prison, treating this place as a permanent foundation.
It is true that Cui Weifeng was indeed difficult to conquer, and the Taiping Army could not defeat the siege for several years. After the Red Army came, it lacked guns and cannons, and could not attack hard, and in the end it was only by besieging for more than a year that the reactionary forces starved down the mountain.
Commander He Jinnian personally went to the scene to inspect the terrain, heard the bandits' wild talk, and laughed: Do you think the Communist Party was that year? Dead targets hiding in the mountains are much easier to fight than those who can run.
He Jinnian immediately issued an order, and the troops implemented the battle plan: Using mountain artillery battalions and anti-aircraft artillery battalions to bombard bunkers and caves, the artillery cracked down; the elite detachments made a surprise attack on the top of the hill and first cleared the outlying strongholds; launched a political offensive; and mobilized the masses to lead the way and report letters.
In only 10 hours, the 144th Division of the 48th Army solved the battle, annihilating more than 1960 bandits and capturing Huang Zhenzhong alive at the golden thread hanging gourd in JinjingDong. On January 26, 1950, the Ningdu District Administrative Inspector's Office held a people's public trial meeting and shot Huang Zhenzhong, who was extremely guilty of the most heinous crime.
