Heroic deeds of liberating Guizhou

Zhang Xingbing devoted his youth and blood to the liberation and construction of Guizhou.

Zhang Xingbing, an 83-year-old man, joined the Eighth Route Army at the age of 14 and the China Producers Party at the age of 18. 1945 served as propagandist, orderly, correspondent, guard and translator in the confidential department of 18 military command from the time of enlistment to September. Participated in the anti-"mopping-up" struggle in Taihang base areas 1942 and 1943 and the battle of paving and white lawn in Southern Yan. 1945 to1September, 950 10, served as the translator and confidential secretary of the first column of the Hebei-Shandong Field Army and the chief of the confidential section of the 16th Army Command, and participated in important battles such as advancing into Dabie Mountain, Huaihai Campaign, River Crossing Campaign, Liberation of Guizhou and Chengdu Campaign.

1950 to1August 198 1, Zhang Lao was appointed as the deputy chief of the confidential department of the provincial public security department corps, the first secretary of Xingyi prefectural committee and director of the district revolutionary committee, the first political commissar of Xingyi military division and the deputy political commissar of Guizhou military region. 1955 was awarded the medal of independence and the third-class liberation medal; 1963 promoted to the rank of colonel; 1988 was awarded the medal of honor for independent meritorious service. In 2005, he was awarded the 60th anniversary medal of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory.

1949165438+1October14th night, Zhang Xingbing arrived in Guiyang with the troops, and has since taken root in Guizhou, contributing his youth and blood to the liberation and construction of Guizhou.

Zhang Lao still clearly remembers that when he entered Guizhou that year, what he saw was really "there was no sunny day for three days, the land was not three feet flat, and people were not silver." In western Hunan, the weather was fine. Just entering Tianzhu, Guizhou, it rained continuously until it was raining in Guiding. The mountains are steep, even in Guiyang, there are not many good streets. Most people live in low thatched cottages.

Although the Kuomintang publicized how the * * * production party raped and plundered everywhere, when the troops entered Guiyang, the people voluntarily took to the streets to warmly welcome them. At that time, bandits in Guizhou were rampant and numerous. You can hear gunshots in broad daylight. On the bronze platform of the fountain in Guiyang, bandits are also quite active. Therefore, eliminating bandits has become the primary task of Guizhou after liberation. As some troops entering Guizhou entered Sichuan and Tibet, their strength was weakened. In the case of relatively strong bandits, the troops made the worst plan, stuck to the Third Bridge of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Hunan, gave up other occupied areas, ensured Guiyang, and strived to ensure several divisions. However, shortly after the 16th Army, the 4th Field Army and the186th Division returned from combat, the troops concentrated on a comprehensive clean-up which lasted for three years.

"The number of casualties of our army entering Guizhou is more than that of previous wars." Zhang Lao recalled that the Fifth Corps had been to the Northeast Liberation Jehol, Datong, Chengdu, Huaihai Campaign and Crossing the River Campaign, and the biggest official position in the war was only one regiment political commissar. When eliminating bandits in Guizhou, the number of casualties was higher than that in Huaihai Campaign and Crossing the River Campaign, and the logistics ministers of two divisions were ambushed and sacrificed.

The 17 brothers and relatives who came out from their hometown to join the army in those years are now only Zhang Lao. Just like the bullet fragments that have not been taken out after the injury during the Anti-Japanese War are still embedded in the head, the red memory of that year has been deeply imprinted in Zhang Lao's mind.

Tang Chenghai "I have fought many wars in my life"

Tang Chenghai, an 88-year-old man, proudly told reporters that I have fought many battles in my life, including seven famous battles, such as Huaihai, Ping Jin and Liaoshen. There were countless small battles and I was injured three times. Among them, in the past two years, we have been fighting bandits in Guizhou. We have been fighting bandits almost every day, sometimes several times a day.

Tang Chenghai, 19 19, a native of Yilong County, Sichuan Province. 1933 joined the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants with outstanding achievements. 1955 awarded the rank of colonel, 3rd grade August 1st Medal, 3rd grade medal of independence and freedom, 3rd grade medal of liberation, 1988 awarded the 2nd grade District Star Meritorious Medal.

Although he is 88 years old, the hard years of fighting bandits in Guizhou are still clearly imprinted in Tang Chenghai's mind. He recalled that shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, bandits were rampant everywhere in Guizhou, causing disasters like locusts and endangering the people. In order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, he led a team to participate in the arduous battle against bandits. Among them, in the early winter of 1950, he took part in the anti-bandits action in Changshun, Ziyun and Huishui counties, which was called "Changzitiebiwei" in history. Under the heavy blow of the People's Liberation Army, more than 400 enemy bandits collapsed instantly and were annihilated in one fell swoop. Cao, commander-in-chief of the bandit "Guizhou People's Self-Defense Force", was captured alive. During the battle, Bao Guo Jr., a hero of Matrosov style, appeared in the 140 regiment where Tang Chenghai was located. He resolutely blocked the gangster's machine gun mouth with his chest, opening up a victorious channel for the company's attack.

Subsequently, Tang Chenghai led a delegation from one county to another, and successively moved to Zhijin, Shuicheng, Weining, Hezhang, Qianxi and Jinsha. At that time, Guizhou was poor, the roads were poor, the traffic was extremely inconvenient, and the supply of troops could not be supplied. Seeing that the masses had no clothes to wear, the soldiers sent their clothes and food all the way to help the masses, leaving only a military uniform. Under such conditions, the soldiers overcame many difficulties and wiped out more than 3,000 bandits in succession, and there were countless bandits. Two years later, the bandits in Guizhou were finally eliminated and the people lived a stable life.
