Wake up（183）

 

183

 

A friend of Li Tiandao who once worked in the logistics department of the Nanjing Military Region said to Li Tiandao: In order to prevent internal chaos in the Chinese army, on January 28, 1967, Mao Zedong gave instructions to the eight orders put forward by the Central Military Commission. "The eight items ordered are very good and will be issued as they are." The "Eight Articles" are as follows:

 

1. We must resolutely support the true proletarian revolutionaries and resolutely oppose the rightists. Resolutely adopt dictatorial measures against those counter-revolutionary organizations and counter-revolutionaries with solid evidence.

2. All commanders and fighters, political workers, service, medical, scientific research, and confidential workers must stick to their posts and must not leave their posts without authorization. They must grasp the revolution, promote production, work, and combat readiness.

3. Units within the military that carry out the Cultural Revolution must practice big talk, big release, big-character posters, and big debates, and make full use of the methods of presenting facts and reasoning. Strictly distinguish between two types of contradictions. It is not allowed to use the method of dealing with the enemy to deal with internal conflicts among the people, it is not allowed to arrest people freely without orders, it is not allowed to randomly ransack homes, seal doors, corporal punishment and disguised corporal punishment are not allowed, such as wearing high hats, hanging black cards, parading in the streets, punishing kneeling, etc. .

4. All teachers and students of colleges and universities, literary and art groups, sports teams, hospitals and military factory workers who have gone out to connect with each other should quickly return to their local areas and units to fight and correct. Don't stay in Beijing and other places.

5. As for the issue of attacking military leading organs, we must treat them separately. In the past, if it was counter-revolutionary attack, it should be investigated, but if it was leftist attack, it could not be investigated. In the future, shocks will not be allowed.

6. The army's internal combat preparation system and security system are not allowed to attack or connect in series.

7. Agencies above the military level carry out the "Cultural Revolution" in stages and batches according to regulations.

8. Cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres, must use Mao Zedong Thought to strictly discipline their children.

 

On January 29, 1967, all the big-character posters in the post-sizheng organs of the Nanjing Military Region ceased to exist, and the person who wrote the big-character posters took the initiative to uncover the big-character posters. The crowd is no longer excited, and the hearts of the people are no longer floating. Work is fully back to normal. The commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army listen to the party's words and obey orders. After the sikyong, the authorities calmed down.

At 8:00 a.m. on February 26, 1967, the Ministry of Transport was notified to gather cadres to the logistics auditorium to listen to the delivery of documents and reports, and the family members of the officers also went. A long banner was pulled up at the venue, and a letter was written "resolutely implement the eight orders of the Central Military Commission". At that time, both the logistics organization and the direct subordinate team came. Employees from kindergartens, engineering teams, canteens, canteens, bathrooms, barber shops, etc. were all present.

At 9 o'clock, the heads of the logistics department of the Nanjing Military Region boarded the rostrum, and the heads of the business departments also boarded the second row of the rostrum and sat down.

The meeting was presided over by Vice Minister Major General Zhong Xianwen, and Vice Minister Zhang Xiang read out the eight orders of the Central Military Commission and delivered a speech. His "speech" was full of gunpowder. He said, "There are a small number of personnel in the agency, who don't listen to calls, don't observe discipline, collude with criminals in society, cooperate internally and externally, attack the logistics agency, undermine the stability of the army, disrupt combat readiness, and disrupt normal work. In an attempt to disrupt the army, They took the opportunity to seize power. They did what the enemy wanted to do but could not. Their actions made loved ones hurt their enemies."

Vice Minister Zhang Xiang's speech set the tone for the conference, and the venue suddenly became tense. Zhang Xiang went on to say, "In order to escort the Cultural Revolution, we must ensure the stability of the army. According to the decision of the military region's party committee, decisive measures will be taken against a small group of personnel who violate discipline, and the following personnel will be placed under administrative supervision."

The air in the conference hall suddenly condensed. Those who spontaneously started the "Four Great Movements" turned pale, while those who opposed the "Four Great Movements" gloated and smiled triumphantly. The list of guarded personnel shall be announced by the head of the direct labor department. Fu Yuezong and Zhang Delong were in charge of the Logistics Command, and Wang Jiaen, Xue Hua, Zhu Zuzuo, and Chen Dengquan were in charge of the Ordnance Department. Arita Congxun, Yu Guocheng, Zhou Naixin, and Zhao Yuxiang were guarded by the Oil Department of the Ministry of Transportation. Shen Wenchen and Wang Shuyu were under guard in the supplies department. Except for the Finance Department and the Military Supplies Department, where no one is guarded, all ministries and subordinate units are guarded, and even more people are guarded at the General Hospital of the Military Region and Bayi Hospital. Shao Malong and Li Juke from the General Hospital of the Military Region, Shen Weilian, a famous thoracic surgeon (expert), and Long Qiming (Tang Liang's political commissar health care doctor) were all guarded. The so-called administrative custody is actually arrest and detention.

Commander Xu Shiyou did not ask for instructions to report to the General Staff, and used field troops without authorization to transfer a certain unit of the 181st Division of the 60th Group Army to the Nanjing Military Region to perform guarding tasks. The commanders and fighters of a certain regiment of the 181st Division were informed that counter-revolutionary riots had occurred in the post-administration offices of the Nanjing Military Region.

Xu Shiyou transferred the field troops of the 181st Division to replace the agency guard company. The cadres and soldiers of this unit heard that the head of the military region's "counter-revolutionary riot" was criticized, beaten, put on a high hat, paraded in the street, and knelt down. They were furious and gritted their teeth. , Drive into the office. At the door of each cell, soldiers with bayonets and guns stood guard as if they were facing an enemy, and they were fully armed. The patrol squad leader held a submachine gun across his chest, and from time to time asked the guards to go out to clean the toilet. Some people said, "I can't clean without tools," and the squad leader said, "use your hands"! These fighters treated the guards as class enemies.

People in custody are constantly being "interrogated", and then they write exposing materials, and more and more people are in custody. The logistics guard company was too small and overcrowded, so the concentration camp was moved to an army crash middle school in Shangxinhe, Nanjing. The logistics department of the Nanjing Military Region alone has more than 700 officers, soldiers, civilian personnel, and employees under administrative supervision. Those arrested in the three major departments of the Nanjing Military Region Command, Political Department, and Logistics Department will be interrogated and managed by Li Shuhe, Minister of Security of the Political Department of the Military Region.

All those arrested and imprisoned will have their cap badges and collars removed, and their watches, pens, trouser belts, and shoelaces will all be confiscated, registered and kept in a unified manner. During the Long March of the Red Army, the anti-revolutionary expansion movement reappeared.

General Xu Shiyou, the commander of the Nanjing Military Region, in the name of implementing the "Eight Orders" of the Central Military Commission, mobilized field troops without authorization, set up private prisons, and illegally interrogated, criticized, and sent down a large number of so-called "counter-revolutionaries" and "rebels against Xu." Labor reform on army farms. Among the cadres under supervision were General Shi Jingban, director of the Political Department of the Military Region (political commissar of the 12th Army Group Army, Li Desheng was the commander), and later expanded to include General Wang Bicheng, Deputy Commander of the Nanjing Military Region, General Lin Weixian, and General Bao Xianzhi, Deputy Political Commissar.

Cadres above the division level were supervised: Sun Haiyun, deputy secretary-general of the political department of the military region, Zhao Shuxiang, director of the organization, and later extended to secretary-general Bian Yongzhong, and youth minister Ji Yanian. The cadres above the division level of the logistics department include Liu Wanxiang, director of logistics cadres, political commissar of the Nanjing Military Region General Hospital, and Deng Qiqiao, political commissar of the 916 oil warehouse of the People's Liberation Army.

Cadres above the regiment level were guarded or suspected of being purged and returned to their original villages, and there were not a few of them who were reduced to 21st and 22nd levels of labor supervision. In the logistics and barracks department, there was a 13th-level regimental-level director, Ye Ci, who was demoted to 21st-level and sent back to his hometown in Henan, where he was tortured. Tian, the director of the logistics administrative management department, was also sent back to the countryside to supervise labor after being labeled as a fake party member and a landlord returning home group.

The "Eight Orders" of the Central Military Commission were warmly supported by the commanders and fighters of the Nanjing Military Region, and they were resolutely implemented. On the second day after the order was issued, the so-called "Cultural Revolution" spontaneously initiated by the organs of the Nanjing Military Region stopped its activities in accordance with the "Eight Orders". However, Commander Xu Shiyou, behind the back of the Party Central Committee, the Central Military Commission, Chairman Mao Zedong and other leading comrades of the Central Committee, violated "the order that no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier during the Cultural Revolution" and advocated mobilizing the army on his own initiative. Arrest, detention, interrogation, denunciation, labor reform, and repatriation to the vast number of cadres, soldiers, and civilians motivated by revolutionary enthusiasm.

A friend of Li Tiandao once told him: Xu Shiyou confused two types of contradictions of different nature and made a series of serious mistakes of principle, which caused serious consequences and losses to the party and the army. The slogan he raised and the standard for underlining: Anyone who "brings down Xu's rebellious army" is defined as a counter-revolutionary. Treat comrades who violate discipline "out of awareness" with the means of the dictatorship of the proletariat.
