In the years after 1949, the remnants of the Kuomintang colluded with local bandits, which led to continuous wars in Xinjiang. Bandits in various localities rely on their topographical advantages to demagogue propaganda and disrupt local order, not only robbing materials but also burning and looting, and committing all kinds of evil deeds.
One of the most powerful was named Usman, who not only disrupted the place, but also colluded with external forces to misbehave.
Faced with the complicated situation in Xinjiang, the People's Liberation Army dispatched counterinsurgency units led by Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen resolutely implemented the central policy and took the initiative to persuade all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to "salute first and then soldier" and take the initiative to surrender. Strive for what you can, and put on bayonets and cannons if you can't.
According to the policy of "division and disintegration, gradual annihilation", most of the bandits were quickly pacified. Only Usman was still in turmoil, and he did not listen to advice and acted arbitrarily, seriously undermining the stability of the local area.
"Reasonable" does not work, then "put on the bayonet".
Wang Zhen set up a command center and supervised the encirclement and suppression of Usman by thousands of troops, including reconnaissance planes, armored vehicles, and combat vehicles. Wu Siman has also been operating in the local area for many years, and he is familiar with the terrain and adapts to the climate, threatening to compete with Wang Zhenyi.
This Usman either did not have the insight to keep up with the trend of the times, or had a defective IQ and felt that bandits could fight with the regular army, especially the People's Liberation Army adapted from the Red Army, which had crossed the snowy mountains and meadows alone. Sure enough, in a hand-to-hand battle, Usman left his troops and fled in a hurry.
Usman fled, confronting the herdsmen he had left behind. General Wang Zhen reassured them that they did not blame the past, and the herdsmen felt the care of the People's Liberation Army, and only then did they understand that They had to take up arms because of Wusman's false propaganda.
After the herders were settled, Usman had no place to hide and was soon arrested and shot.
In the face of unwitting herders, we can be reasonable and give resettlement care. In the face of stubborn diehards, they can only use bayonets to reason, such as Usman.
