11-2 Documentary of China's Great Suppression of Bandits - Yang Qinghai's Rebellion

However, Yang Qinghai became alert first and began to panic at this time.

Batches of bandits and big bandit leaders were caught from the deep mountains and old forests in various parts of Hejiang, and batches of "threads" (threads: that is, intelligence officers of bandits. It was dug up from Yilan, Dalianhe, Da Yi Yi, Xiao Yi Yi, Lao Pingtuo, Nongnong Gou and other places, and was tied up by five flowers and pushed to the judgment platform. Among them, there are his subordinates as chief of the general staff of the Kuomintang's "Northeast People's Army," his old friends and friends in the security forces and self-defense regiments, and the new bandit leaders who have just fought with him in secret, and some of them are even directly the threads he personally buried outside.

He couldn't believe that all these people who knew him and knew his details would be so strong under the guns and broadswords of the Communist Party that they would not confess to him, the chief of the general staff of the "Northeast People's Army," who was in a high position in the People's Liberation Army, but hoped to atone for their so-called meritorious service in order to leave them a life. Among all these people who were arrested and killed, even if only one person did this, then there is no doubt that the actual situation of Yang Qinghai would have been clearly in the hands of the Communist Party long ago, and he would have become the target of the Communist Party's next most likely hunting and killing. He even felt in a trance that the blood-dripping blade of the Communist Party had already been quietly put on his neck.

He didn't understand whether he should have been the commander of the Sanjiang People's Liberation Army and the commander of the 19th Regiment in the first place, and he didn't understand whether he should continue to be the deputy commander of the Fifth Detachment today. He did not hesitate, he did not regret that he had become a fighter of the Anti-Japanese Federation even though he had later failed, he had deep admiration for the Communist Party, and he felt that he had not lost the bloody nature of the Chinese descendants at least at a critical juncture when the nation was in danger.

However, now that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been won, and the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is on both sides of the Chinese, he should have a new choice. After accepting Wu Hantao's appointment of him as the general staff officer of the "Northeast People's Army," he began to undertake the important mission of recovering the entire Hejiang and the whole of Northeast China and driving out the Communist Party within the Communist Party. He didn't know why he had put himself in such an extremely dangerous situation.

However, he has fully understood at this moment that he may not be able to continue to play this role, and it is impossible to play it again. The Communist Party will not tolerate people like him, and it has killed so many bandits and bandit leaders in various places so resolutely and ruthlessly, even those who have even the slightest connection with these organizations and these teams. Don't think about it, maybe tonight or tomorrow morning, it's not hard to imagine what awaits him, the chief of the general staff!

He had to make a decision as soon as possible, and everything was urgent.

He approached Commander He Jinnian, who was presiding over the Jiamusi military and political cadre training meeting at that time, and asked for leave. On the day the meeting was held in Jiamusi, Xin Aiyu quietly followed him to Jiamusi and rented a room in the hotel, needless to say. In the past two days, Yang Qinghai asked He Jinnian, commander of the military region who was presiding over the meeting at that time, to ask for leave of absence, asking him to "go back to Yilan again to explain his work." In fact, he was using this to test the reality of the other party, to find out the attitude of the leaders above towards him at this time, and to see if the Communist Party had really discovered him and began to control him.

As a result, He Jinnian did not agree to his departure once.

The meeting is coming to an end, and in two days, the meeting will be dismissed according to the agenda, and Yang Qinghai will find He Jinnian for the fourth time.

"Lao He, I'm really a little worried about my family, I really didn't have time to explain when I came out, anyway, whether it's our detachment or the Yilan County Party Committee, there are still people, but I can just take a step back. I'm really afraid that all the work at home will disrupt the battle!"

He Jinnian looked at him puzzled at this time, and said with a half-joking: "Deputy Yang Jianling, you can always take Yilan's work to heart like this, and I understand and appreciate your serious and responsible spirit." However, the last two days of the meeting will be dissolved, so why do you have to rush these two days? Even if you leave at the beginning and the work is not properly explained, why don't you insist on going back for two more days to continue to solve the problem, and persist. ”

Yang Qinghai looked at the expression on He Jinnian's face intently, pondering every word he said repeatedly, all he wanted was He Jinnian's extra-string sound, which was the words in these words. At last he could not wait any longer, and he no longer had the courage and confidence to stay in Jiamusi, in case he was really sent to Harbin in the name of some kind of Xi of learning, then everything would still be left to him, and would he still have the opportunity to turn it over again? Of course, this concern was by no means only related to his personal everything.

At noon on the same day, Yang Qinghai took advantage of the fact that the leaders of the military region presiding over the meeting and others were not paying attention, and returned to a hotel next to the Shunde Commercial Bank on the street, took Xin Aiyu, rented a carriage in Jiamusi City, and really hurried back to Yilan desperately.

The next day, an urgent letter written by Xu Yixin, secretary of the county party committee, who stayed in Yilan County, was sent to a meeting of military and political cadres of the Jiamusi Military Region. The gist of the letter was: Yang Qinghai and the giant bandit Li Huatang launched a large-scale mutiny in Yilan, and the entire Yilan was in danger, and begged the military region to send troops to rescue as soon as possible.

He Jinnian was shocked, and all the leaders who attended the meeting of military and political cadres of the military region were also shocked. They absolutely could not have imagined that Yang Qinghai, the deputy commander of the Fifth Detachment, who was sitting on a bench with them for a meeting yesterday morning, would also be a bandit leader. They would never have imagined that after Yang Qinghai ran back to Yilan, he would launch a mutiny so quickly. What is even more unexpected is that in just one Yilan county, in just one county town, in just half a month, four groups of overt and hidden bandits have been arrested and killed before and after; now, the cadres and soldiers of the sixth company of the second battalion of the Yilan Independent Regiment of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, as well as several other companies, have become the main force for Yang Qinghai to launch a large-scale mutiny in Yilan City.

At the same time, because the mobile troops organized by the Hejiang Military Region at that time were extremely weak, He Jinnian handed over the last part of the meeting to other comrades of the Military Region to preside over and personally took a train from Jiamusi to the 359th Field Brigade of the People's Liberation Army not far from Yilan to transfer troops. In the evening of the same day, he led two regiments from the 359th Brigade station, Boli, and quickly rushed to Yilan County.

He Jinnian only felt angry and regretful at that time, and he thought nervously while rushing desperately with the two regiments. Along the way, he changed his previous optimistic, funny, and witty personality, always buried his head and never said a word. He thought that in the past few decades of wars, he led this unit to defend Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, fought against the Yikezhao League, and responded to the uprising of the Kuomintang troops during the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Undoubtedly, Yang Qinghai's sudden defection and the sudden rebellion of the companies of the Independent Regiment stationed in Yilan City into bandits will have such a bad impact on the banditry in the whole region that had just been slightly suppressed a while ago! He Jinnian and Tan Youlin, deputy commander of the 359th Brigade, always walked in front of the troops. At that time, he just thought in his heart, hurry, hurry, he must rush to Yilan as soon as possible, and he must not let Yang Qinghai, Li Huatang, the bandit leaders and all the bandits escape from Yilan again.

However, by midnight, when He Jinnian and Tan Youlin entered Yilan City with two regiments of troops and the cavalry brigade of the military region that had arrived first, Yang Qinghai, Li Huatang and other hundreds of bandits had already withdrawn from Yilan City and were no longer to be seen.

Yang Qinghai's public defection and escape caused a series of repercussions at home and abroad at that time, and in China, especially in the northeast region, the cadres and soldiers of the whole army felt sudden and shocked. After a large number of bandit leaders and counter-revolutionaries have been hunted down and killed, a bandit leader like Yang Qinghai, who is in a high position in our army and has been so deeply hidden, has suddenly appeared, and there are actually several companies of bandit armies hidden within our army in the Yilan Independent Regiment. As soon as he killed a few groups of people, he was scared out, which was actually a very huge loss to the great cause of the party-state in the northeast region to fight against communism and recover. On the other hand, Hong Kong's pro-Taiwan-language Chinese-language newspapers, which do not know the inside story, almost got carried away and appeared in important positions on the front page (omitted······

Yang Qinghai's escape is a full five years. During this period, all the bandit leaders in the northeast region, such as Li Huatang, Zhang Yuxin, Meng Qingyun, Che Liheng, Sun Rongjiu, Zashan Diao, and so on, as well as bandits of all sizes, had already been captured and suppressed by the various bandit suppression units of the People's Liberation Army and local governments.

Around 1955, He Jinnian was transferred to the Northeast Military Region. One day, someone in the office suddenly reported to him, saying that "a man named Yang Qinghai asked to see the chief." Suddenly, He Jinnian's blood rushed to the top, Yang Qinghai defected and fled five years ago, and the unsolved case that has not been caught since then has all been turned over ······ today.

However, He Jinnian refused Yang Qinghai's request to see him.

In fact, after waiting for five years for Yang Qinghai, who openly defected with the bandit leader Li Huatang and others, seeing that the Kuomintang had no hope of recovering the northeast, Yang Qinghai took dozens of loyal "soldiers" under his command and was forced to come out of the primeval forest of Lao Yeling when he could not bear it. At this time, Yang Qinghai was arrested by the local Boli County Public Security Department and sentenced to execution.
