In the early morning of August 30, 1992, the US military reconnaissance satellite detected that China had dispatched more than 100 military vehicles to the Sino-Vietnamese border in a mighty manner. The Pentagon began to panic. Do you know that in the 1980s, a hard war was fought on the border between China and Vietnam, and today, more than 10 years later, the war will be rekindled?
At this time, the soldiers in the military vehicles clung to the weapons in their hands and prepared to carry out a large-scale "drill." When the car reached Pingyuan Street, the soldiers who got off the bus were told that the "drill" was a real-gun arrest operation.
Pingyuan Street is not a street, but a town, but the population is only more than 50,000 people. So who is the arrest of more than 3,000 armed police officers in Pingyuan Street? Next, let's walk into the fierce "Pingyuan Incident".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" >, "extralegal world" Pingyuan Street, evil</h1>
It is hard to imagine that New China has been founded for more than 40 years, and there is still a place without laws and without human rights. This place is Pingyuan Street.
There are no rules and no squares. Pingyuan Street, which is not bound by the law, is like a wild horse that has lost its reins, and all kinds of illegal and criminal acts occur frequently.
Drug trafficking became the norm. Drugs are a thing that is difficult to lift when contaminated, but for people with ulterior motives, it is a channel for quick and more money. In that era, although some Pingyuan Street people knew that drug trafficking was illegal, the temptation of money, the ridicule of others, and the influence of people around them caused them to embark on the road of drug trafficking.
All kinds of drugs
Pingyuan Street is less than 200 kilometers away from the "Golden Triangle", which is famous for drug trafficking, so it is easy to get drugs. According to china's criminal law, carrying and selling more than 50 grams of drugs can be punishable by death, and at that time, every Pingyuan street person had far more drugs than this amount.
Walking down Pingyuan Street in the 1890s, you will find that unlike other townships with various vegetables and fruits on the roadside, Pingyuan Street is full of stalls selling marijuana, heroin, opium and phenacetin.
Over time, a huge number of drugs began to be "exported". Pingyuan Street, once known as the "Golden Triangle of China", has drugs covering all parts of the country, and Pingyuan Street has eventually become a terrible situation of "every family hiding drugs, and every household selling drugs".
Drug dealers
Drug trafficking has brought a lot of ill-gotten wealth to the people of Pingyuan Street. Only to see this remote and extremely backward infrastructure of the small township, luxury buildings rose from the ground, and many of them looked better than the first-tier cities at that time. In addition, in that era when vehicles were not so common, the streets of Pingyuan Street were already full of vehicles.
Smuggling of firearms, sale of firearms. In the process of drug trafficking, various monetary interests were intertwined, and the people of Pingyuan Street began to form gangs. The "gun" has become an urgent need for many people in Pingyuan Street. After they collected the guns left over from the war against Vietnam, they began to buy guns and weapons abroad. With this, the sale of firearms also began to rise. In this way, Pingyuan Street became a transit point for international arms trafficking.
Zhang Ziqiang
Zhang Ziqiang, a famous kidnapper in Hong Kong, said of Pingyuan Street in 1991 when he was interrogated: "Except for fighter jets, everything else can be bought on Pingyuan Street..."
Incite the masses and gather the masses to make trouble. In order to prevent the government from investigating and punishing drugs in Pingyuan Street and safeguarding their own interests, the drug dealers on Pingyuan Street have used religion to repeatedly incite innocent people to gather and make trouble, and directly break the party and government organs.
Drug dealers once instigated and led innocent people to smash up the branch of the Public Security Bureau.
A policeman who went to Pingyuan Street to handle the case was besieged and beaten by the people instigated by drug dealers, and finally he was brutally drained of his ankle and became crippled.
Theft of military and police cars. If it is said that inciting the masses is a small fight, then the blatant theft and sale of military and police cars can be seen in the lawlessness of the people in Pingyuan Street. Pingyuan Street, the "land of bullets", became the source of used cars in the country at that time. But in that era when private cars were not so common, in order to meet the market demand, the rampant Pingyuan Street people began to steal police cars and military vehicles without fear.
Officers and soldiers arrest drug dealers
The field communication vehicles of the 14th Army were stolen by them, and finally "redeemed" for 20,000 yuan after consultation with the troops.
212 jeeps under the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department were sold via Pingyuan Street to Cangzhou City, Hebei Province.
Control of grassroots power. State power is inviolable. In order to be able to engage in illegal acts such as drug trafficking and gun trafficking in a more stable and convenient way, the evil forces in Pingyuan Street have bought and controlled some local grass-roots political power.
Lin Hongen, deputy mayor of Pingyuan Town, is one of the "protective umbrellas" of the evil forces. Lin Hong'en not only accepted bribes to inform the evil forces, but also personally participated in the illegal activities of drug traffickers and guns.
Officers and soldiers rounded up drug dealers
By the end of the 1990s, Pingyuan Street had formed several evil forces with the nature of the underworld and firmly entrenched themselves.
The yunnan provincial task force assigned to Pingyuan Street to solve the problem of drug dealers and guns once received a call from the drug dealer on his own initiative, and the person on the other side said in an extremely rampant tone: "We are going to try a batch of guns that have just entered tonight, so don't panic at night!" ”
Pingyuan Street is like a "cancer", which deeply endangers all aspects of society.
In the report of the Ministry of Public Security to the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, it was written: "We believe that the problem of Pingyuan Street has reached the point where it must be solved. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="74" > second, strike hard, sweep away the evil</h1>
On March 30, 1992, Jin Shouping, deputy secretary of the Wenshan Prefecture Political and Legal Committee, was openly murdered while arresting criminals in Pingyuan Street. This incident has attracted a lot of attention throughout the country, and at the same time, it has also caused a huge and bad impact on society. In the end, the central authorities made up their minds to eradicate that lawless evil force.
With the approval of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and under the instructions of the Central Political and Legal Commission and the Ministry of Public Security, Yunnan Province decided to take decisive measures to mobilize the armed police force and public security cadres and policemen to carry out a large-scale strike-hard operation on Pingyuan Street and thoroughly solve its serious problem of violating the law and committing crimes.
On August 26, 1992, Liu Xuanluo, director of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front-line command of the "Pingyuan Operation". On the same day, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee formulated a plan to "strike hard and pingyuan."
Armed police assembled
Chairman Mao once said: "Do not fight a battle without preparation." "Before the armed encirclement and suppression, Yunnan Province sent elites to Pingyuan Street to conduct a secret and in-depth investigation into the intricate power relations of Pingyuan Street.
Among them, the most powerful "Five Giants of Pingyuan Street" focused on attracting the attention of the investigation team. The "five giants of Pingyuan Street" are Lin Hongen, deputy mayor of Pingyuan Town, Wang Baoguo, member of the provincial, prefecture, and county CPPCC committees, Wang Baoen, secretary of the party branch of Tianxin Village, Lin Hongzhou, deputy secretary of the Tianxin Village branch, and Ma Huichun, a religious administrator.
The five of them used their power to calmly engage in illegal activities and at the same time accepted a large number of bribes, acting as an umbrella for other evil forces. These five people are the tigers, and they are the big heads that make Pingyuan Street unstable. Among them, Ma Huichun, the religious administrator, is the most hateful, and in order to protect his own interests, he uses religion to incite a large number of innocent people to confront the government.
"Catch the thief before the king". In order to prevent accidents in the course of the strike-hard crackdown, the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee lured the "Five Giants of Pingyuan Street" to Kunming in the name of a meeting before the armed crackdown, and directly arrested them.
On August 26, 1992, according to the requirements of the plan, the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department urgently gathered more than 3,000 public security cadres and armed police officers and men, and then in the name of "drills", approached Pingyuan Street and encircled the Pingyuan area.
In the darkness, hundreds of cars lined up like a glowing sword piercing through the darkness. At this moment, it was detected by the American satellites over our country, and the United States believed that our country intended to go to war with Vietnam.
On August 29, 1992, 20 arrest groups infiltrated the Pingyuan Street area in disguise.
Armed police officers headed to Pingyuan Street
On the 30th, the large troops assembled at the Reika Farm, a few kilometers away from Pingyuan Street, and made strategic arrangements for the arrest operation.
All kinds of traffic fortresses in and out of Pingyuan were controlled by officers and men of the armed police. Secondly, heavy fire pressure was also arranged in the high-lying area of Pingyuan Street, and finally patrols were also arranged for the hillsides and country roads in Pingyuan Street. Since then, Pingyuan Street has formed a large army to suppress the territory and comprehensively encircle the situation.
At 7:00 a.m. on August 31, the strike-hard operation officially began, and multiple arrest teams approached the criminals' homes at the same time.
Under the pressure of the powerful military force, some drug dealers were shaken in their hearts and took the initiative to hand over drugs and guns; some drug dealers who fled into hiding in the mountains also took the initiative to go down the mountain and surrender themselves; some criminals also informed the armed police of the hidden information and weapons of other drug dealers in order to strive for leniency.
Humpty Dumpty
However, during this campaign, the army also encountered the desperate resistance of some drug dealers. Among them, the arrest of the bandit Ma Cilin was the most tragic.
Ma Cilin, 34 years old, is a famous gang boss in Pingyuan Street. He is suspected of engaging in drug trafficking, gun trafficking, kidnapping and extortion. When the officers and men of the armed police arrested Ma Cilin, they found that the terrain of his residence was high, the outer walls were strong, and the brown glass on the windows made it impossible for people outside to see the situation inside the house. According to other criminals, Ma Cilin's house had a dark room and a wall, and he had been a soldier and trained in gunfights while selling drugs abroad. In summary, the arrest of Ma Cilin is full of difficulties.
In the end, the second squadron of the third detachment of the Yunnan Armed Police Corps accepted this arduous task assigned by the superior. The second squadron, which received the task, first formed a siege on Ma Cilin's home. Later, in order to detect the enemy situation and to transfer the criminal's family (the strike-hard operation had orders not to harm the criminal's family and protect women and children), the armed police officer Pang Rubao risked unpredictable dangers and knocked on Ma Cilin's door.
Officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed drug dealers
I saw a woman opening the door. "Why are you coming to my house with guys behind your back?" The woman's high-pitched voice made the armed police officer Gao Wenliang immediately realize that the woman was sending a message to Ma Cilin.
"Don't call, we are from the Public Security Bureau, ma Cilin is not at home?"
"I don't know."
"Then you have the child with you now, so leave quickly."
After Ma Cilin's daughter-in-law left with the child, the armed police entered Ma Cilin's home. After a careful search of Ma Cilin's home, ma Cilin's figure was not found. Could it be that Ma Cilin was really not at home as his wife said?
"Be careful!" But it was still one step too late. Just listening to the da-da-da This bandit Ma Cilin was cunning enough to surprise the armed policemen. In order to cover the retreat of the injured Huang Yungao, the armed police officer Su Taide took out a grenade and prepared to throw it at the place where Ma Cilin was located, but was hit in the abdomen by Ma Cilin and killed on the spot.
Gao Tianle, who witnessed the death of his comrade-in-arms, was furious and grabbed a grenade and threw it at Ma Cilin. "Boom", the room fell silent, and Gao Tianle excitedly said that it had exploded. Who knows, Ma Cilin, who was hiding in the toilet, suddenly shot, Gao Tianle could not dodge, and was directly killed by a heart shot. But the toilet where Ma Cilin is hiding must be blown up, otherwise it will make Ma Cilin, who occupies a superior position, shoot at the armed police with impunity. At this time, Pang Rubao, an armed policeman, picked up a grenade and threw it at the criminal without hesitation, but unfortunately he was hit in the head by an armor-piercing bullet and died heroically.
In the end, the toilet was still broken, and Ma Cilin, who was unmasked, was injured by armed police while climbing the wall and sneaking away. So far. The bandit Ma Cilin was finally arrested, but the second squadron also paid a huge price of 3 sacrifices and several injuries in this arrest operation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" > third, thorough cleaning, the results are quite large</h1>
Skynet was restored, neglected but not leaked. After 82 days of strike-hard operations, the armed police arrested a total of 854 criminals; seized more than 1,000 guns and more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition; investigated and dealt with 94 drug trafficking stolen vehicles; collected 896 kilograms of heroin, 85 kilograms of opium, and 93 kilograms of phenacetin; confiscated more than 10 million yuan of stolen money, several kilograms of gold and silver; and confiscated 61 high-end houses built by criminals with stolen funds according to law.
Pingyuan seized guns
During the strike-hard campaign, a number of stubborn resistance elements were killed on the spot, and the drug dealer Ma Lin was killed even when he was fighting with the armed police; a group of lawless elements with huge criminal responsibilities were severely punished; Lin Hongen, deputy mayor of Pingyuan Town, and Ma Cilin, a drug dealer, were sentenced to death. During the strike-hard campaign, the armed police force did not spare a single person who had violated the law and committed a crime.
In the follow-up "voluntary surrender, leniency", the voluntary confessions of many drug dealers have also shocked people. "Small drug dealer" Ma Saiwei handed over 72,800 grams of heroin at a time, "Pingyuan Street Female Gun King" Lin Hongyu alone handed over 126 guns, and "the poorest person in Pingyuan Street" took the initiative to hand over more than 2 million yuan of stolen money.
In addition, in the trial of criminals, the crimes of drug dealers are even more "destroyed by the three views". Only to see the public security officer interrogating a criminal:
"What was your motive for killing?"
"I don't have any contact with him, it's just a matter of looking at him badly."
Such a view of human life as grass and mustard makes it difficult for us to imagine what kind of hell Pingyuan Street was before the strike-hard crackdown.
Fortunately, this strike-hard operation changed the situation of "lawlessness" in Pingyuan Street and made Ping'an Street look new. After the strike-hard campaign, the government perfected the establishment of grass-roots political power in Pingyuan Street; public security cadres and policemen also established an anti-narcotics association here to help people quit drug addiction; and the people of Pingyuan Street applied for identity cards, hung up house numbers, and paid back taxes for the first time after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Pingyuan Street status
The law began to be respected on Pingyuan Street.
There are rules to form a square circle. Under the governance of the law, the Pingyuan Street that "people should eat enough, cars should be filled with oil, and rush through Pingyuan Street in one breath" no longer exists. The construction of the new socialist countryside, the development of flue-cured tobacco and other characteristic industries, and the popularization of nine-year compulsory education have all prompted Pingyuan Street to advance step by step toward a well-off society with a legal system. The "Golden Triangle of China" has become a safe town that "does not close at night".
In response to this "Pingyuan Strike Hard Campaign" and the restoration of order in Pingyuan Street, the central government commented: "Our police fought a beautiful battle in Pingyuan! ”
Memorial service for the martyrs of the Pingyuan Incident
In the Pingyuan incident, Su Taide, Gao Tianle, Pang Rubao, Yu Mingsheng, and the four young comrades left us forever. But it was precisely because of the bravery and fearlessness of the armed police and the fear of sacrifice that thousands of criminals on Ping'an Street were arrested. And those armed policemen who sacrificed their lives deserve our eternal remembrance! The more than 3,000 armed police officers who participated in the war deserve our eternal admiration!
