At the end of 1930, Chiang Kai-shek launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in western Fujian, southern Jiangxi and other regions, and more than 100,000 troops rushed to the Red Army, but the Kuomintang generals were very conceited and lacked cooperation with each other, and finally they were captured by the Red Army.
In 1931, the Party Central Committee held a special meeting to discuss how to deal with this general, because the prisoner's name was Zhang Huizan, with the rank of lieutenant general, and he was the highest-ranking prisoner of war captured by the Red Army at that time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Red Army soldiers.
The reaction of the national army was very active in wanting to rescue, and the conditions given included the release of patriotic revolutionaries and the provision of supplies, which shows that they attach great importance to this person. However, the attitude of the broad masses towards Zhang Huizan was very severe, and the people hoped that Zhang Huizan's evil deeds would be properly calculated and given the punishment he deserved.
It is worth mentioning that this prisoner of war named Zhang Huizan has a series of origins with Chairman Mao and the Chinese revolution.
In the end, the people who suffered deeply still sent Zhang Huizan to the end of his life, and before he died, Zhang Huizan actually shouted: "Runzhi, save me", as the so-called, self-inflicted, can't live, so what kind of person is Zhang Huizan, will make the people hate it so much?
A former young man
Zhang Huizan, who returned from school, became a staff officer in the Governor's Office in Hunan, and since then he has been active on the historical stage as a young talent.
Zhang Huizan was a very progressive thinker when he was young, he was a patriot, he participated in the guerrillas in Hunan, supported the movement to expel the warlords, participated in the war to protect the law, and supported Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Doctrine. In addition to patriotism, the young Zhang Huizan also has the chivalrous spirit of suppressing the strong and protecting the people, and he hated people who relied on power to do wrong, and the people at that time also applauded Zhang Huizan's actions.
When Zhang Huizan was the chief of the Hunan Provincial Police Department, there was a brothel owner under his rule who often acted misbehaps, known as a rouge tiger, and this boss was also born poor when he was young, but after doing some improper business and getting rich, he became a rich and unkind person, and often attracted women from good families as prostitutes.
In addition, some unsightly means will be used to force the daughter of a good family to become a prostitute, causing the local people to complain, Zhang Huizan was very indignant when he learned about it, and decided to eliminate the harm for the people, clenched his fists and prepared to attack.
The reason why this boss, known as the rouge tiger, can be so arrogant, in addition to his strong financial resources, he naturally has big people behind him, and it is precisely because he has a backer that he can mix so smoothly that the previous governors chose to turn a blind eye. When he was young, Zhang Huizan can definitely be called jealous and hateful, and decided to cut through the mess quickly, and solve this scourge of the people once and for all before the relevant bigwigs learned about it, Zhang Huizan issued a notice to arrest the rouge tiger in the evening.
In the evening, when people were preparing to rest, and it was likely that they would not be informed of the sudden notice, and it would be difficult to respond to it, Zhang Huizan took advantage of the darkness to arrest this scourge, and tried and executed him early the next morning.
Zhang Huizan is also a lover of military theory, in order to contact and learn the world's most advanced military system, Zhang Huizan also deliberately set his sights overseas, heard that the German Army at that time was developing very rapidly, military concepts in the world's leading level, Zhang Huizan went to Germany to study.
During this trip to Germany, Zhang Huizan saw the very effective offensive means and operational ideas in the world at that time, and the total warfare theory proposed by Ludendorff, the so-called total warfare theory, is to strike first in battle, and it is to preemptively strike in many fields such as economy, culture, and politics, so as to quickly weaken the resistance forces.
The theory of total warfare itself was born for the purpose of exploring highly effective offensive means, but after Zhang Huizan completed his studies, he used it in places where it should not be used; just like the three-light policy of killing, burning, and robbing all the light implemented by the Japanese invaders, Zhang Huizan also went astray later, causing deep harm to the common people.
The dividing point of Zhang Huizan's life was after the defeat of the National Revolution, when Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei fought against each other, Zhang Huizan chose to join Chiang Kai-shek's camp and was arranged as Chiang Kai-shek's commander of the Nanchang garrison.
Since then, Zhang Huizan's positive patriotism when he was young has been diluted, jealousy and hatred have been abandoned, and the pursuit of being the master of the people has been left behind, and the military theories he has learned have also been used in places where he should not be used.
Zhang Huizan, who followed Chiang Kai-shek, gradually became a corrupt official who preyed on the common people, frequented local entertainment venues, went in and out of high-end restaurants, and bullied the normal business of industry and commerce, as if he were a degenerate.
Friendship with Chairman Mao
Zhang Huizan was very positive and motivated when he was young, and he was a partner with Chairman Mao in the early years of struggle, and he also provided some help to Chairman Mao, so it can be said that he has a certain feeling in it, otherwise at the last moment of his life, he would not have shouted out: Runzhi, save me!
In his early years, Zhang Huizan was a high-level intellectual who had studied advanced military theories, and he had actively participated in the revolutionary movement and had a dream of saving the country and the people in his heart.
When Yuan Shikai acted perversely, and the Beiyang government tried to restore in vain, Zhang Huizan actively participated in the war to protect the constitution, and was one of the countless advanced youths.
It was during the expulsion of the Hunan warlords that Chairman Mao had a friendship, and when he later served as the Commissioner of Police, he also provided some help to Chairman Mao, but the two had different ideas and views, and Zhang Huizan's level of understanding was not enough to cherish Chairman Mao's heroes, so the two had no follow-up development.
And Zhang Huizan was also begging every day before he died, begging for the earth and the earth, remembering that he had known Chairman Mao before, so he shouted Runzhi, save me! Hopefully, a miracle can happen, but he is wrong because what he did before has deprived him of a chance for redemption.
He did a lot of evil in Jiangxi
Just after taking refuge in Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Huizan's official position became bigger and bigger, but the distance from the people became farther and farther away, not only forgetting the ambition of defending the people when he was young, but becoming a major scourge to the people.
Once, Zhang Huizan and his subordinates were eating together in a restaurant, and before leaving, they wanted to eat the overlord meal, but Zhang Huizan actually acquiesced to his subordinates smashing the restaurant, you must know that the people rely on this restaurant to support their families. After Chiang Kai-shek established an anti-communist policy, Zhang Huizan became more and more violent, and the punishment in the local area was very cruel, and he wanted to kill people at every turn, and the people were angry but did not dare to speak, so Zhang Huizan also had the nickname of butcher.
What is even more infuriating is that Zhang Huizan was an active supporter and executor of Chiang Kai-shek's anti-communist policy, which caused great damage to our party's committees and youth league committees in Jiangxi, and was once forced to move to Jiujiang to avoid the front, and more than 100 progressives were victimized by Zhang Huizan.
In confronting our party, Zhang Huizan gave full play to the general tactics he had learned at the beginning, came up with a method of mobilizing personnel in an all-round way, and tried to make the entire bureaucracy actively oppose our party.
Although there are a few selfish people who betray our party for money, but the majority of the people have chosen to protect our party, Zhang Huizan saw that this plan failed, so he sacrificed the most tragic side of the overall war, and punished the people who protected our party, so that the local people were miserable, and the people also desperately hoped that Zhang Huizan could get retribution.
After the end of the Great War in the Central Plains, Chiang Kai-shek withdrew from the battle against other separatist warlords and launched a military attack on our party, sending 120,000 troops to attack the troops led by our party in eight ways.
Zhang Huizan took the position of division commander in it, leading the army to charge ahead, Zhang Huizan obviously forgot his friendship with Chairman Mao at this time, and fought all the way from Jiangxi to Fujian, not wanting to give my party a chance to breathe. On the surface, Zhang Huizan is high-spirited, thinking that he can get military merits from it, and then invite meritorious deeds to be rewarded, so that he can get a greater promotion, but in fact, Zhang Huizan is about to go to a strange path in life and repay the crimes he committed before.
At the end of the road, shouting for help
Zhang Huizan held a conceited attitude in the process of marching, from the perspective of strength comparison, the national army has 120,000 troops, and the equipment is more sophisticated, and the follow-up supplies are more sufficient, while the Red Army only has 40,000 troops, equipment and supplies are not as good as the national army, and there will often be a shortage of ammunition and other materials, Zhang Huizan also feels that the victory is in hand.
The Red Army carried out the guerrilla line of thinking, and when the enemy attacked, it would retreat and temporarily avoid the front, and the locals would take the opportunity to attack and strike at them if they showed their flaws.
When Zhang Huizan saw the Red Army retreating, he thought that he would retreat without a fight, so he hurriedly led his troops to catch up, and was gradually introduced by the Red Army into the Donggu Mountains.
Zhang Huizan and Gong Bingfan are both conceited people, the two have never been harmonious, there have been many festivals before, and they ignore each other when they start fighting, and there is no cooperation at all, Zhang Huizan in order to compete with Gong Bingfan for credit, regardless of the tired state of the troops, ordered a rapid march, chased farther and farther, and gradually moved away from the large army behind him.
Zhang Huizan led his troops to break away from the large army alone, and the Red Army also saw the possibility of breaking them one by one, so he continued to feign defeat on the one hand, and set up an ambush in the mountains on the other hand, Zhang Huizan was getting farther and farther away from the large army, and was getting closer and closer to the encirclement of the Red Army.
Sure enough, the conceited Zhang Huizan was eager for meritorious service, and did not think much about the knowledge of ambush warfare in the art of war, and finally fell into the encirclement of the Red Army.
In desperation, Zhang Huizan took off his officer's clothes and wanted to abandon the troops and secretly escape by himself, but he was still discovered and captured by the reconnaissance Red Army, and in this way, he was completely annihilated in the encirclement network of the Red Army with his own troops.
After the news of the capture of the Red Army by the Lieutenant General of the Nationalist Army spread, the morale of the Red Army was greatly boosted, but on the contrary, the Nationalist Army on the other side was shocked, and the Kuomintang put forward conditions in the hope that the Red Army could release Zhang Huizan, and the conditions included the release of members and soldiers of our Party, and they could also provide necessary food, clothing, and other materials.
However, to the surprise of the Kuomintang reactionaries, the people in Donggushan District were very angry with Zhang Huizan, and held a special meeting to ask everyone to put forward Zhang Huizan's previous crimes, and finally executed Zhang Huizan.
Zhang Huizan tried to offer that he was willing to exchange money for his life, promising not to do anything wrong in the future, and willing to provide a generous compensation, but the people were unmoved, because Zhang Huizan's fate was already doomed from the moment he fell.
