At the end of August 1964, the Yongshun County Public Security Bureau in Xiangxi suddenly received a report that two teenage children had been tied up in the mountains by a man and a woman, and that they were not released until dark.
The local public security bureau did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately organized a manpower investigation, and all kinds of indications showed that it was Qin Xunzi and Tian Yulian who appeared in the North Lake, and everyone was shocked, and everyone was ready for battle, and everyone did not expect that this bandit couple who had been hiding for fifteen years was actually alive.
Qin Xun pole was originally named Qin Guoqing, born in 1919 in the northwest of Zhangjiajie, Xiangxi, a small mountain village called Qing'anping, which is surrounded by high mountains and mountains, coupled with the fierce folk customs, since the Yuan Dynasty, it is not easy to be controlled by the imperial court, so Xiangxi is known as "China's blind intestine", and has always been a paradise for bandits of all walks of life.
Qin Guoqing's family is rich, his father Qin Xinzhai does not learn no techniques, the five poisons are complete, Qin Guoqing is his sixth child, the previous two sons have disabilities, the rest are three daughters, so Qin Guoqing was born as a continuation of his own incense, and because of this, Qin Guoqing was spoiled from childhood, Qin Xinzhai not only took his son to visit the tobacco house, even the casino had to be carried, Qin Xinzhai also called it the cultivation of sons, under the influence of the ear, Qin Guoqing did not learn no technique since childhood.
In November 1934, He Long led the Red Army to lay down Dayong and established the Xiang'echuanqian Revolutionary Base Area, Qin Xinzhai did many evil deeds and oppressed good deeds in his daily life, after the Red Army came, he was arrested and shot on the spot, and his family property was also distributed to the local poor, Qin Guoqing's mother soon remarried, and he was reduced to a red farmer instead.
In the autumn of 1935, after the red army withdrew from Dayong, landlords everywhere set up vigilante groups, and Qin Guoqing, who was penniless, came to the nearby Ngee An Township and became a militia soldier, where he practiced a good kung fu and was a recognized sharpshooter and scud in the vigilante group.
Because of his excellent skills, he was soon appreciated by his superiors and became the leader of the militia, and later after the militia was disbanded, Qin Guoqing returned to Qing'anping with a gun, at that time, Qin Guoqing's cousin was the director of the joint security of Qing'anping, and he turned to his cousin.
When working under his cousin's hands, Qin Guoqing also stopped for more than a month, and then the original form was revealed, he first hooked up with his cousin, relying on the blowing pillow side wind to let the cousin arrange a relaxed job for himself, and then he was dating his cousin at home, and he was bumped by the cousin who was just going home, seeing that things were exposed, Qin Guoqing actually killed his cousin in a frenzy, in order not to expose his ugly deeds, he shot and killed his cousin, fled into the nearby mountains with a gun, and defected to the bandit Leader Qin Tianbao. Fallen Grass became a bandit for Kou.
The year was 1937, and Qin Guoqing was only 19 years old.
Qin Guoqing, who had fallen into the grass, was like a fish in the water, because of the ferocity of the means, he had robbed three groups of merchants and killed many people in two days, so fierce that even Qin Tianbao admired the fierce means and promoted him to be a squadron leader.
Once, when Qin Tianbao and Qin Guoqing were drinking, they laughed and said that he was quite bold, I was afraid that he did not dare to use people's hearts to go to the bar, but he did not expect that after Qin Guoqing heard this, he immediately let his subordinates grab a young farmer and tie it to a tree, and he personally went forward to cut his abdomen and dig his heart, and took it out to let people fry it and put it on him and Qin Tianbao to drink.
Qin Tianbao was originally a joke, but he didn't expect that Qin Guoqing was even more ferocious than he thought, and he would really dig people's hearts into wine, and watching Qin Guoqing eat with relish, he felt chills.
Soon after, in another robbery, a villager fired a gun to resist, injuring a bandit on his side, qin Guoqing washed the cottage with human blood, leaving no living mouth.
Qin Guoqing's brutality made Qin Tianbao uneasy, worried that in the future, he would be in trouble, and this person's ferocious nature was not in awe, which he could not grasp, so he found Qin Guoqing and gave him 10 guns, and persuaded him to set up his own portal, Qin Guoqing also had this intention, so he returned to Qing'anping with these guns, and pulled up a team of self-appointed captains.
In the following ten years, Qin Guoqing relied on the first ten guns to kill people and quickly developed into hundreds of people, because this person was fierce and cruel, sometimes after robbing the goods, he would kill people.
In March 1948, Qin Guoqing took people to Sangzhi County to run errands, and on the way he met a family marrying a bride, he saw that the bride was beautiful, and despite the persuasion of others, he took the car back to Qing'anping.
That night, Qin Guoqing married her, and the abducted girl named Tian Yulian had just turned 18 at the time.
What made everyone wonder was why Tian Yulian was only 18 years old at the time, so why would she willingly follow Qin Guoqing, who was a teenager, and also help Qin Guoqing to kill innocent people.
In October 1949, a kuomintang army collapsed through Qing'anping, Qin Guoqing saw that it was profitable, and took the bandits to rob weapons and ammunition together, one of the young officers refused to hand over the gun, Qin Guoqing had not yet opened his mouth, tian Yulian next to him raised his hand and shot the young officer to death, after the shooting, she also blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun.
Using these looted guns and ammunition, Qin Guoqing recruited troops and horses, and soon expanded to nearly 400 people, and the scope of activities also expanded from the original Yongshun, Sangzhi and other places to Cili, Hefeng and other places.
Since the Kuomintang army was defeated again and again on the frontal battlefield, the other side hit the bandits with the idea, and arbitrarily sealed the bandits in western Hunan in the hope that they could resist the People's Liberation Army, and Qin Guoqing was also incorporated into the Sixth Regiment by the Kuomintang Provisional Fifth Division, with Qin Guoqing as the regimental commander, claiming to be the commander, and Tian Yulian as the deputy commander.
Still
In late September 1949, the 47th Army of the 13th Corps of the People's Liberation Army marched into western Hunan Province, many bandits surrendered, coupled with the liquidation of the troops, the bandit plague in western Hunan was alleviated, and soon after, the 47th Army was ordered to Sichuan, leaving only one 141st Division in the entire xiangxi, while the People's Liberation Army troops in the Dayong area had only one platoon, and the rest were mostly militia organizations.
Qin Guoqing, who had been hiding in the mountains, saw that the PLA troops were weak and began to stir again, and before that, the troops repeatedly publicized the policy, but Qin Guoqing never let up because of the murder of his father.
In March 1950, a squad of PLA soldiers and several staff members went into the mountains to garrison, Qin Guoqing gathered more than 300 bandits, killed 12 fighters, burned dozens of houses, and soon after, he led the crowd to kill 12 PLA fighters and wound 3 people.
On May 4, the people's government in order to relieve the local poor people, transported five ships of rice, Qin Guoqing learned the news and arranged for more than 200 people to set up an ambush, 6 PLA soldiers responsible for escorting supplies all died, in late May, the PLA grain carrier came again, this time the increase in the number of guards was also equipped with several machine guns, Qin Guoqing with his familiarity with the local terrain set up an ambush again, 13 escort soldiers and 8 shipwrights were all killed, and the supplies were also robbed by Qin Guoqing.
Qin Guoqing's behavior infuriated the 141st Division, because it still had to garrison other areas, only sent a company and other militia organizations to surround and suppress Qin Guoqing, but the other side hid in the mountains, the task of encirclement and suppression was more difficult, let him escape several times, and finally could only strengthen the defense, but could not completely solve Qin Guoqing.
In February 1951, the 141st Division was ordered to be transferred to Korea to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and after the troops were transferred, Qin Guoqing became more and more unscrupulous, and in early February, his men killed a local armed fighter, and soon after, killed the wife of the chairman of the Peasant Association.
In order to thoroughly eliminate this gang of bandits, the local military sub-districts have decided to carry out large-scale liquidation and suppression, and the bandit units have adopted tactics that combine the use of force to eliminate and suppress and political disintegration; the peasants who have been assigned to the land and the local garrisons have joined forces in carrying out a search and arrest, and from counties to townships and from townships to villages, they have clearly listed the list of absconding bandits, and have investigated one by one and searched one by one.
In the continuous encirclement and suppression, the bandits around them died and surrendered themselves, Qin Guoqing saw that things could not be done, changed his strategy, and took Tian Yulian headlong into the mountains.
In 1953, just when everyone thought that Qin Guoqing and Tian Yulian had left, they appeared again and killed the peasants who had reported them, and then fled into hiding without a trace.
In the following years, Qin Tian and his wife Tian Yulian disappeared, and by the end of 1958, only Qin Guoqing and his wife Tian Yulian were left with only Qin Guoqing and his wife Tian Yulian.
In order to capture Qin Tian and his wife, in December 1958, the Jishou Military Sub-district and the Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Public Security Bureau set up a general headquarters for suppressing bandits in Qing'anping, concentrated the public security forces of 10 counties in the prefecture, mobilized the masses on the border of Dayong, Yongshun, and Sangzhi counties to search and round up the mountains, and organized 22 militia mobile squads and 159 intelligence groups in the local area.
In the process of such a huge arrest, no trace of Qin Tian and his wife was found, and the local people all spread that Qin Tian and his wife had fled to Taiwan.
The General Headquarters of the Bandits in Qing'anping also analyzed that qintian er bandits were likely to die in a cave that no one knew, or fled away from home, plus three years of natural disasters, the local people were short of food, not to mention the Qintian er bandits hiding in the mountains.
In 1961, the bandits began to evacuate, and the general headquarters for the suppression of bandits was abolished, and nearly a decade had passed since the incident, and the local people gradually forgot the name Qin Guoqing.
One day in March 1963, a salesman in Sangzhi County found that a customer did not even want the money he was looking for after buying a battery, turned around and left, looking at the clear back, he shouted: "Qin Guoqing? ”
Unexpectedly, the man quickly left, and soon disappeared into the field of vision, the news that Qin Guoqing was not dead spread at once, and the local people were very panicked, but no matter how everyone went to find it, there was no clue.
More than a year passed like this, in the early morning of August 26, 1964, 5 children of the Beihu Brigade of Cheping Commune in Yongshun County rushed to the tujia village, they were hunting with the adults, two of them seemed very excited, jumping and running in the front, the older one was called Qu Shaodong, 13 years old, and the younger one was called Liu Chuanshu, only 10 years old.
After going up the hill, the adults no longer paid attention to the children, and the two of them learned to look for clues left by the beasts in the thorny bushes, and the two children were completely unaware that under a rock wall on the half-slope, a man and a woman were staring at them with pistols, and when they came to the front, the man and the woman suddenly came out and covered their mouths, and one of them held one and hid in a secret grass shed under the rock wall.
After tying up the two children, the man angrily slapped one of them and slapped them one by one, glaring at his bloodshot eyes and saying viciously, "You are looking for death, drill into our nest!" ”
The two children were stunned, and the woman slowly interrogated their lives, their residence, and what they had come to the mountains with smiling faces, and the two frightened children all honestly said it, and she asked: "Is there any troops in Li Jiaping?" ”
The two children shook their heads, who knew that the woman's face was heavy, and she lifted Qu Shaodong up with a fierce face: "No? Which bunker was built? Dare to lie, I see you are looking for death! ”
At dusk, the man and the woman packed up their things and escorted the two children on the road together, and walked a mile away, and the man shouted at them: "I will not kill you today, let you go back now, you are not allowed to shout on the road, or look at the guys!" Saying that, he raised the gun in his hand and slowly left.
When the man and woman had walked away, the two children ran toward the house with their legs up, and after seeing their anxious relatives, they choked up and told the story of the day's encounter.
The adults hurriedly asked, "What about those two people?" ”
The older Qu Shaodong said with an impression: "The man is very short, the face is pointed and long, the eyes are hooked, the nose is hooked, the foot pole is very thin, the woman is very good-looking, and there are dimples when laughing." ”
The adults were shocked when they heard it, and remembered the evil qin guoqing and Tian Yulian and his wife more than ten years ago.
After receiving the news, the Yongshun County Public Security Bureau immediately reported to the higher authorities, and the Autonomous Prefecture Public Security Bureau and the Jishou Military Sub-district immediately organized a search by the armed forces and militia of Yongshun, Dayong, and Sangzhi Counties, but Qin Tian and his men had already gone to loukong, and soon after, a three-county work conference on suppressing bandits was held in Yongshun, and everyone unanimously believed that Qin Tian and the two were hiding in a large forest or deep cave far away from the village, and the focus of the search should be on these places.
But Luo Binhu, deputy commander of the Jishou Military Sub-district, said, "No! If Qin Tian and the two of them went into the deep mountains and old forests, what would they eat? It can be seen from the scene that they live by stealing, drilling into the deep mountains and old forests, where to steal? Drill into a big cave? Once discovered, where to run, not in those places, they must be hiding in places not far from the village and few people go, so that it is convenient for theft and observation. In addition, the place where they hide must be close to the big forest, close to the water source and the crop field. ”
Everyone felt that Luo Binhu was right, the map was expanded to mark out the places that matched the characteristics, and found that there were still a lot, in order to investigate, everyone studied and decided to send working groups from each county to investigate one by one, but after more than three months of investigation, no trace of Qin Tian and the two people was found.
On December 30, 1964, Xu Daicheng, a villager of the Dacun Brigade of Qing'anping Commune in Dayong County, went up the mountain to cut down the clothing vine, and just as he was turning over a small mountain bag, he suddenly found a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at him, and before he could react, the gunshots rang out, and Xu Daicheng immediately fell to the ground without a sound.
That night, the villagers found Xu Daicheng's body, and also found that there was a natural cave about two people deep not far from the top of the mountain, covered by branches, the entrance of the cave was covered with stone slabs, and there were more than 400 pounds of turnips, red ru and other food inside the cave, which was the hiding place of Qin Guoqing and Tian Yulian.
In early January 1965, Luo Binhu personally sat in Qing'anping and mobilized more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians to search the mountain, but the cunning Qin Guoqing and his wife once again escaped.
On March 23, 1965, Yu Mingliu, a villager of the Cotton Brigade of The Rifta Commune, which was only more than 10 miles away from the site of Sangzhi, suddenly found that there were three small trees in Yujiapo that had been cut down, and he carefully observed the knife marks and found that these knife marks were cut from bottom to top.
He looked up and found that there was a mountain bag roof not far away, thorny, grass and trees hiding a rock wall, which was probably the hiding place of the bandits, he told this discovery to the villagers yu Shide, the other party immediately pulled him to the top of the mountain bag, and between them a man and a woman holding a gun leaned against the rock trough.
Yu Shide was both excited and scared, jumped off the rock in a panic, and shouted while running: "There is a robber!" Qin Guoqing and his wife woke up from their dreams, immediately shot at them, and fled in the direction of Wangjiawan while fighting.
After Receiving the report, Luo Binhu rushed to the Kuzhu river brigade of The Lifuta Commune with cadres and fighters and set up a command post on the front line of the bandit suppression; at the same time, the bandit suppression detachment near Yujiapo occupied the commanding heights and various traffic arteries with the cooperation of the militia within an hour of receiving the report, and Qin Guoqing and his wife were already turtles in an urn.
Qin Tian and the two of them saw that the situation was not good, hiding in the mountains and forests and did not dare to move, they already had a premonition that the end was coming, and they could not help but feel a little sad.
At this time, Deputy Commander Luo Binhu was also thinking about countermeasures, he believed that Qin Tian and the two would not run to Wangjiawan, because the Woyun Realm was not their territory, only bee wave creek had the possibility of their survival, and attacking the west was Qin Guoqing's usual trick, so he arranged the main force of the bandits at the mouth of the bee wave stream, and the rest of the country was guarded by people sent by various counties.
Luo Binhu's judgment was very accurate, that night, Qin Tian and his wife began to break through, but as soon as they entered the mouth of the Bee Wave Creek, they were beaten back by the bandit troops, and three consecutive breakthroughs were unsuccessful, and they could only shrink in the small tank bowl hole of the Bitter Bamboo River, they did not know that more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians had arranged three encirclements, and this time they could not escape by inserting their wings.
At eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, the search for the mountain began, Luo Binhu was not at ease, and personally went up the mountain with the guards to organize the arrest, and soon, in the huge mountain search army, the whereabouts of the qin tian two bandits were exposed, and they hid in a rock trough to resist.
Seeing that the other side refused to surrender, Yang Tongjin, the squad leader of the third squadron of the public security squadron, picked up a grenade, ignited the fuse and threw it into the rock trough where Qin Guoqing was hiding, Qin Guoqing panicked, picked up the grenade and wanted to throw it out, but he did not expect that the grenade had blossomed in his hand.

Soon, Xie Maoshuang, director of the department of the autonomous prefecture public security brigade, added a second grenade, and with the loud "boom" sound, Qin Guoqing and Tian Yulian and his wife were blown up into a blur of blood and flesh, and the bandit couple who had been hiding for fifteen years finally ambushed.
Qin Guoqing and Tian Yulian were suppressed, and it also announced the complete end of the banditry that had harmed Western Hunan in China for hundreds of years.
