After Japan's surrender, Lin Xiushan immediately obtained the "inspection certificate" issued to him by Lin Yanshan, and was responsible for receiving the so-called Japanese and pseudo-Japanese property in the three counties of Liujiang, Zhongdu, and Luorong.
Lin Xiushan immediately sent more than 40 minions to various places to collect wealth in the name of "receiving", as long as the real estate and property that they valued were affixed with a seal stamped with Xu Xiushan's seal, it was confiscated.
In order to intimidate these angry people, Lin Xiushan arrested more than 50 Hunan merchants who had taken refuge here, then framed these people as "traitors", confiscated their property, and shot them all.
Lin Xiushan indiscriminately killed outsiders, and did not calm the anger of the locals, Lin Xiushan simply arrested more than 40 local people who were more cheerful, claiming that these people were "traitors" and directly killed them.
After this unprecedented "reception", almost all the families above the middle level in Liujiang, Zhongdu, and Luorong counties went bankrupt, and all the courtyards that looked decent became Lin Xiushan's property.
Lin Xiushan was rampant for a while, and he fell under the nickname of "Yaoshan Bandit King".
In September 1949, the 135th Division of our Fourth Field Army completely annihilated the four main divisions that Bai Chongxi relied on most in the Lingguandian area. Seeing that the general trend was gone, Bai Chongxi began to collect potential forces from all over Guangxi in an attempt to thwart the overwhelming offensive of our liberation army.
Bai Chongxi personally went to Liuzhou and appointed Lin Yanshan as the captain of the joint defense team of Liujiang, Luorong, Zhongdu, and Xiuren counties. Lin Xiushan was also appointed colonel commander of Gui Suijing's 2nd detachment.
More than a month later, more than 600 defeated soldiers defected to Lin Xiushan's men and reported that more than 1,000 remnants of soldiers who had retreated from Lipu were operating in the area of Liugu Village, more than 50 miles away.
After Lin Xiushan heard the news, he immediately rushed out with more than 1,500 of his men to Liugu Village in the starry night, and without much effort, he took in more than 1,800 defeated soldiers.
In just a few days, the bandits under Lin Xiushan's hands swelled sharply to more than 3,000 people. On other battlefields, the Kuomintang army lost all its troops, only Lin Xiushan was thriving, Bai Chongxi thought that this was a material that could be built, and reorganized his troops into the "First Independent Division of Liuzhou", with division commander Lin Xiushan.
Just when Lin Xiushan was triumphant in the spring breeze, his brother Lin Yanshan was surrounded by our army's bandit troops.
Lin Yanshan's cunning degree was not below Lin Xiushan, and at the end of the road, Lin Yanshan did not let go of a single shot and chose to surrender to the bandit troops.
Before accepting the reorganization, Lin Yanshan secretly gave Lin Xiushan the mortar company, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, and more than 600 of his cronies.
Then Lin Yanshan took a radio back to his hometown to do Yugong, ostensibly not to ask about the world, in fact, he not only kept in touch with Bai Chongxi, but also looked at Chiang Kai-shek and actively asked for airdrop supplies, weapons, ammunition and military salaries for Lin Xiushan.
In January 1950, Lin Xiushan was promoted to a higher rank and was appointed by his superiors as the commander of the Kuomintang 126th Army, and was active in Liuzhou, Luorong, and Luzhai.
Lin Xiushan had no way to govern the army and had the skill of disturbing the people, so he took these shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command to wantonly distribute grain, money, men, and guns to the people in his jurisdiction; lin Xiushan regarded the district offices and peasant associations that had just been formed by the bandit suppression troops as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh; during the period when the bandit plague was most rampant, countless local cadres and progressive masses died at the hands of Lin Xiushan.
The local people are famous for Lin Xiushan and dare not call him by his first name, or call him "Second Commander" or "Lin Wangye".
In order to combat Lin Xiushan's arrogance, since February 1950, our army's bandit suppression unit, using the strength of a main force regiment, began to search and suppress Lin Xiushan's bandits.
But several times in a row, Lin Xiushan escaped.
The bandit troops were exhausted, and the head of the unit felt that someone had missed the wind beforehand. So I began to step up my inventory.
Soon the fox's tail was revealed, and this night, Lin Yanshan dragged his tired body and climbed out of the cellar, the moon was very good, but his intuition told him that there were people around him quietly approaching him, Lin Yanshan panicked in his heart, and reached out to touch the gun at his waist.
Before he could pull out his gun, five or six black shadows rushed up and threw Lin Yanshan to the ground. In the cellar of his house, a radio station, two codebooks, and some guns, ammunition and food were found.
It turned out that this cellar was Lin Yanshan's studio, and he sent the stolen information through telegrams to Bai Chongxi and Chiang Kai-shek at the same time, and then listened to their instructions.
After Lin Yanshan was captured alive by the bandit troops, it was equivalent to poking Lin Xiushan in a pair of eyes, and he lost the most important source of intelligence.
In the winter of 1950, Lin Xiushan led more than 300 bandits to camp in The town of Siting in Rong'an County, and a reconnaissance platoon of the bandit troops did not have time to ask for instructions after learning the news, and marched seventy miles in the night to attack the town of Siting.
At dawn, Lin Xiushan was still asleep, when he heard the fierce gunshots around him, he could not understand the truth, ordered the bandits to retreat into a large cave to resist, while Lin Xiushan disguised himself as a local mountaineer and slipped away in chaos.
After more than three hours, more than 300 bandits, under the leadership of Liang Mingde, chief of staff of the bandits, obediently walked out of the cave and surrendered their guns to the reconnaissance platoon of the bandit troops.
Liang Mingde said that he could persuade Lin Xiushan to surrender his gun, so he let him go. Knowing that Liang Mingde was gone, he continued to follow Lin Xiushan to do evil.
In January 1951, Lin Xiushan and Liang Mingde led hundreds of bandits to secretly lurk in Dafen Village, 15 miles from the county seat of Luzhai. At that time, Lin Yanshan was imprisoned in Luzhai County, and Lin Xiushan's move was likely to be preparing to rob the prison.
The bandit troops were stronger first, and the strength of the two battalions was in a left-right attack, and they attacked Dafen Village together.
Under the fierce offensive of the bandit troops, the bandits collapsed into an army, and in the panic, Lin Xiushan hid in a dung pit before escaping the search and suppression of the bandit troops.
In order to deter Lin Xiushan, on January 19, the bandit forces conducted a public trial of Lin Yanshan in Luzhai Town and executed him.
In order to avenge Lin Yanshan, Lin Xiushan gathered more than 3,000 bandits in Dale Wei, Xiangzhou County, and was eager to move.
After receiving the information, the bandit troops dispatched five companies of troops to raid Dale Wei and crush the bandit 126th Army, Lin Xiushan pulled off his beard, disguised himself as an old woman, and escaped again.
Although the scale of the battle of Dale Wei was not large, it completely broke up the formation of the 126th Bandit Army, and more than 3,000 bandits scattered everywhere, becoming a scattered sand, in a state of separate battles, and there was no chance to complete the tactical assembly.
The bandit suppression units reacted to the situation on an improvised basis, formed several squads of bandits, went deep into the mountains, and as long as they found any traces of the enemy, they pursued them closely, forcing them to lay down their weapons and surrender down the mountain. Soon, the 126th Bandit Army was completely destroyed, and among all the major bandits, only Lin Xiushan had not yet been captured.
Lin Xiushan was familiar with the terrain, often changing his residence several times a night, and the bandit troops had discovered Lin Xiushan's whereabouts in Jinxiu, Laoshan, Xiameng, Pingzhu, Luoyun, Shengtangshan and other places, but they failed, and finally escaped by this cunning guy.
Based on Lin Xiushan's whereabouts, the bandit troops judged the area where he was roughly hiding; with the cooperation of the local militia, the bandit troops laid a net of heaven and earth in the area where Lin Xiushan might appear, and as long as any clues were found and the wind blew, the bandit troops would launch a dragnet search, Lin Xiushan tried to escape several times, but without success, and his area of activity was gradually compressed.
Deep in the Yao Mountains, there is a small village called Dawan Village, which is very remote, and the village is full of poor people, and corn and sweet potatoes are their main rations. Recently, some villagers reported to the bandits that some people were stealing sweet potatoes from their fields to eat.
Villagers in Yaoshan Have a unique way of storing sweet potatoes, usually digging a sweet potato cellar near the sweet potato field, and the harvested sweet potatoes are placed in the cellar. A sweet potato cellar can put seven or eight thousand pounds of sweet potatoes, and no one usually cares about throwing a few pieces, thinking that it is a hungry child who steals it. But this time there are too many lost.
The scouts of the bandit unit went to the scene to inspect the terrain and found that the stolen sweet potato cellar was far away from the village, and there was no similar sweet potato cellar around, so the scouts concluded that the thieves who stole sweet potatoes would visit here again.
Under the leadership of detachment leader Sun Yongfu, the bandit squad quietly laid an ambush near the sweet potato cellar.
Two days later, in the evening, three local villagers dressed as people quietly came to the sweet potato cellar with three pockets, one person guarded the cellar entrance and the other two people went down to the cellar, and several scouts rushed up and came to catch turtles in an urn, capturing all three thieves who stole sweet potatoes in one fell swoop.
After interrogation, these three people were Lin Xiushan's personal bodyguards, and Lin Xiushan's "official seal" was still carried on these three people.
The scouts escorted the three bodyguards to the cave where Lin Xiushan was hiding, only to be empty, and Lin Xiushan once again successfully slipped away.
After dawn, a warrior found a patch of trampled grass near the cave, so the scouts followed the trampled weeds, searched carefully, until noon, the footprints were gone, and the only clue was interrupted.
The most infuriating thing is that it is less than a meter away from the starting point in the morning, and the end point back to the starting point is equivalent to a big circle in the mountains.
Soon approaching the Spring Festival, the scouts decided that there was only this sweet potato cellar nearby, and Lin Xiushan could not find food in the mountains, and would definitely return, especially during the Spring Festival.
Braving the cold moon wind, the scouts squatted near the sweet potato cellar all day and all night.
After the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, Lin Xiushan never showed up.
At that time, rumors were rife, and many people swore that Lin Xiushan had fled Yaoshan and gone to Hong Kong to find his wife. The scouts believed that this might be a blindfold released by Lin Xiushan, because he had no chance to escape yaoshan at all.
On the afternoon of February 26, the scouts squatted early in the grass not far from the sweet potato cellar as usual.
At 11 o'clock in the night, the second quarter moon had just risen, and in the slightly hazy moonlight, an old woman leaned over and quietly leaned out of the bushes, and he looked around warily until he felt that there was no danger, and then he waddled to the sweet potato cellar.
He bent down and forcefully removed the stone pressed against the mouth of the cellar, he was so weak that he was so tired of moving a stone that he gasped for breath, and after a while, the old woman felt that the dirty gas in the cellar was almost eliminated, and then slowly drilled down the ladder into the sweet potato cellar.
"Don't move," the scouts flashlights, illuminating the cellar as brightly as day.
The man looked up in surprise, greedily chewing a piece of sweet potato in his mouth, probably because he was too nervous, and the man's pocket pistol fell to the ground.
"What are you?" asked Sun Yongfu sharply.
The man in the cellar was dressed and dressed, and his appearance was the same as that of an ordinary old woman in the mountains. So when the man replied, "I am Lin Xiushan, preparing to go down the mountain and surrender," the scouts suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Lin Xiushan was known as the "Yaoshan Bandit King", killing countless people, I didn't expect to be so unassuming, if it wasn't in this special environment, even if it was a face-to-face, I still couldn't find Lin Xiushan's flaws.
Since the three bodyguards have gone, lin Xiushan has relied on three sweet potatoes to fill his hunger for many days, and when the sweet potatoes are finished, he smokes opium.
Smoking opium can make people forget hunger for a while, and he wants to persist until the time of stinging, as long as he has passed the sting, he will no longer worry about finding something to eat in the mountains.
There were still 7 days before the sting, Lin Xiushan was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he decided to take a desperate risk and get a few sweet potatoes to fill his hunger. As a result, they were captured alive by the bandit squad that was waiting in strict formation.
At this moment, Lin Xiushan was already extremely weak, and the soldiers of the bandit squad carried him to the cave where he was hiding, and in a corner, there was a thick layer of dry grass, which was Lin Xiushan's "bed".
At the "bed" side, there was a dirty and tattered cotton coat worn by a Kuomintang officer. A fox fur hat and a large piece of cigarette paste of more than half a pound.
Lin Xiushan took off his disguise, and the cave suddenly filled with a thick fishy smell, and his skinny body was full of wounds that were suppurated and festered after being bitten by mountain locusts. This thing is not painful or itchy when it bites people, and the wound bleeds continuously afterwards, and the pain makes people feel that it is better to live than to die.
The scouts dressed Lin Xiushan, put on his hat, and carried him down the mountain.
The news of Lin Xiushan's capture alive did not go away, and the bandit troops were specially equipped with a small steamer carrying more than 30 heavily armed soldiers, whose task was to escort Lin Xiushan and return to Liuzhou from Luzhai County.""
Within a hundred miles radius of Liuzhou, the notoriety of Lin Xiushan, the "Bandit King of Yaoshan Mountain", was unknown to everyone, so that many people did not dare to call him by his first name behind his back, and could only call him second commander.
In order to dispel the fear of the common people, the anti-bandit troops decided to show Lin Xiushan to the public.
But Lin Xiushan's body was too weak, and after nearly a month of careful treatment, Lin Xiushan finally recovered a little vitality.
In the early morning of March 24, in the most prosperous cross street in Liuzhou, a huge Eight Immortals table was set up, and there was a Taishi chair on the table, and the listless Lin Xiushan curled up on the chair, completely devoid of the previous fierce and evil appearance.
Cross Street was blocked by the crowded street until the early morning of the 2nd day, when the street was crowded with local people, many of whom had come from hundreds of miles away.
From time to time, some people cry on the ground, and the hatred brought to them by Lin Xiushan is unforgettable.
On the morning of the second day, the anti-bandit troops held a public judgment meeting in the cross street, and representatives from eight counties, including Luzhai, Xincheng, Xiangzhou, Wuxuan, Laibin, Rong'an, Sanjiang, and Jinxiu, stepped onto the stage one after another and tearfully accused Lin Xiushan of the bloody crimes committed.
More than 30,000 people at the scene were excited, and the cries of "blood debt and blood repayment" and "shooting Lin Xiushan" were endless.
The more brutal the people, the more cowardly they became, and at noon, after Lin Xiushan heard the verdict of the death sentence, he was paralyzed on the ground, and he fell to the ground, tears flowing down his face, and constantly begged the bandit troops to keep him alive.
Public opinion is difficult to violate, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, under the attention of all, the sound of righteous gunshots broke through the long sky.
Lin Xiushan, the "Bandit King of Yao mountain", who was full of evil, fell headlong into a pool of blood. Ended his absurd and sinful life.
