Wake up（205）

 

205

 

Zhou Jianguo and Pan Guangfu continued to chat about what happened in Anqing during the Cultural Revolution. In his "Memories of Stopping Martial Fighting in Anhui", Liu Jiaju narrated his experience with the 7-member team in dealing with factional struggles in Anqing.

At that time, Song Peizhang made a division of labor for the 7-member team. Director Xu of the Political Department brought Assistant Li to the G faction, and Director Han of the headquarters brought Liu Jiaju to the P faction. Prepare for public opinion.

At this time, P sent the combat headquarters on the top floor of the department store, and Liu Jiaju followed Director Han to bring his luggage and lived next door to them.

There is a spacious balcony on the top floor of the department store where Liu Jiaju lives, about 40 square meters. Every night, a group of students from Beijing like to chat here. It was a very hot summer day, so Liu Jiaju bought a dozen mats for them to spend the night, firstly to prevent them from provoking violence, and also to hear them spread gossip from the outside world. Among them are the "Dongfanghong" of Peking University, the "Jinggangshan" of Tsinghua University, and the "Red Flag Commune". This group of people claimed to be sent by Jiang Qing, and the P sent them as political consultants, and they will not leave for a long time.

Liu Jiaju asked them about the situation of armed struggles across the country. A Peking University student who had been to Chongqing said that it had entered a three-dimensional war. Except for the aircraft, warships, artillery, and tanks were all used. A student who just came from Guangxi said that the Guangxi faction made the prisoners of the opposing faction kneel on the streets of Nanning, opened their mouths and used them as spittoons, and let passers-by spit into the captives' mouths...

  A member of the "New Three Armies", a Beijing-based force, believes that the country's fighting began with the military. He told the story of the fight between the "New Three Armies" and "Old Three Armies" of Beijing's army rebels in the theater of the Beijing Exhibition Hall on May 13 this year. He said to Liu Jiaju: "You have a wrong judgment, thinking that the national armed struggle is Our students in Beijing fanned the flames everywhere, and it was actually led by the army. Chairman Mao asked the army to support the left, which is to support our rebels to seize power in the country by force.”

The young man spoke the truth. Liu Jiaju believed that Mao Zedong's continuous revolution was to transform the world with the barrel of a gun.

On October 2, before dawn, a young man from the Yangtze River Shipping Station in Anqing came to report to Liu Jiaju that the Wuhan rebels had sent a ship of weapons from the No. 2 Steel Division and were preparing to dock. The tone of the young people belongs to the G faction.

Liu Jiaju and the young man came to the embankment on the bank of the river. Sure enough, there was a large landing ship parked on the main channel of the Yangtze River. The hull of the ship was numbered with the prefix D of a naval ship, and someone on the top of the tail cabin was playing a semaphore. The young man was knowledgeable, so he translated it to me, saying that the weapons brought by the other party were large and packed in boxes, and a crane was needed to pick up the goods from the ship. Liu Jiaju immediately asked the young man to find a sailor who could speak semaphore, and told him that we were preparing to pick up the ship and asked them to stop for an hour before docking.

Liu Jiaju immediately went to see Song Peizhang. Song Peizhang said, let the 103rd regiment deal with it, and ask them to resolutely prevent the ship from docking.

Liu Jiaju rushed to the residence of the head of the 103rd Regiment to report that the head of the 103rd Regiment would send out an infantry company. Liu Jiaju said that it would be best to bring the artillery battalion out to deter the opponent. The head of the delegation asked Liu Jiaju: "Is this the opinion of Deputy Political Commissar Song?"

Lau Ka Kui lied: "I told him, he wants you to decide."

"Okay." The head of the regiment summoned the staff to deploy. Half an hour later, the muzzles of 12 artillery pieces were raised high on the embankment of the Yangtze River. Liu Jiaju asked the semaphore to warn the other party that if the landing craft approached 300 meters from the shore, the garrison would bombard it.

Liu Jiaju recalled: The other party received our message, and there was a commotion on the deck. Ten minutes later, a small sampan was lowered, carrying more than a dozen people, and drove to the shore. He used to shout, "Where are you from?"

A middle-aged man on the other side replied: "It was sent by Wuhan's 'Second Steel Division'."

"What are you doing here?"

"Support the P faction in Anqing, they are facing the massacre of the G faction."

Liu Jiaju let his group of 14 people go to the barge's office, Liu Jiaju told them: "I am a representative of the garrison, and your boat will never be allowed to dock."

A middle-aged man who led the team said: "We are following Chairman Mao's revolutionary line, not to mention the People's Liberation Army, even the king of heaven can't control us!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man pulled out the pistol from his waist and threw it on Liu Jiaju's desk with a bang. Several rebels then showed their daggers and stuck them straight on the table. The middle-aged man said proudly: "This is our determination."

This way of frightening people comes from movies, it is purely a bandit's move, they thought Liu Jiaju was intimidated. Liu Jiaju picked up the pistol thrown by the middle-aged man. It was a Type 57, the same as the one he was wearing. Liu Jiaju pressed down the clip with his thumb. It was disassembled, and Liu Jiaju threw the removed parts on the table. The whole process took only three seconds. The 14 people saw that Liu Jiaju was so familiar with guns, and they were all dumbfounded. weapons, why do you use them to fight your own compatriots?"

  A young man among them shouted: "This People's Liberation Army is old Bao, and it's anti-Chairman Mao!"

  Liu Jiaju said: "Whether it's leather or security, I don't support killing."

  Seeing that Liu Jiaju was difficult to deal with, the middle-aged man changed his words and said, "What do you do?"

"I'm a military representative."

  "We want to see your top leaders."

  Liu Jiaju said: "I represent the highest leadership of the garrison."

  "No!" said the small leader of the P faction standing behind me, "Their highest leader is Song Peizhang, deputy political commissar of the 12th Army."

Liu Jiaju thought that they would not give up until they met our leader, so he said, "I can let you meet."

Liu Jiaju led a group of people to the headquarters of the 103rd Regiment. On the way, Liu Jiaju whispered to a young man, "How many weapons did you send?"

"More than a thousand guns, three million rounds of ammunition, and dozens of cannons." The young man did not hesitate.

"Who asked you to help?"

"The Anqing P faction is at a critical moment, and we need to come to the rescue."

"You also used the Navy's landing craft?"

"Chairman Mao asked the People's Liberation Army to support the leftists, which was authorized by the army representatives."

It seems that wars are raging everywhere, and most of the army, navy and air force have been involved, and they have become the backing of the faction they support.

When they came to the headquarters of the 103rd regiment, Liu Jiaju arranged for them to sit in the conference room first. Of course, Liu Jiaju would not go to Deputy Political Commissar Song, so he could only ask the leaders of the 103rd Regiment to deal with it. Liu Jiaju came to the political department and found Xu Gui, the director of the political department. Xu Gui got angry at me: "We only take care of Anqing, and your leading group of foreign forces doesn't care who dares to take care of it!"

Liu Jiaju also got angry: "This is assigned by Deputy Political Commissar Song. If you don't care, go and explain it to Deputy Political Commissar Song."

Xu Gui restrained his anger and followed Liu Jiaju to the conference room. Liu Jiaju introduced: "This is Director Xu from the Anqing Garrison. If you have anything to say, tell him."

There were several small leaders of the Anqing P faction present, and they all knew Director Xu. One leader said: "He is the director of the political department of the regiment. He is not a big official, so it doesn't work."

Liu Jiaju immediately explained that Director Xu was meeting everyone on behalf of Deputy Political Commissar Song. More than a dozen representatives of the "Second Steel Division" scolded the People's Liberation Army for supporting the right and not the left in Anqing.

Liu Jiaju suddenly thought of a savior - Kang Sheng's liaison officer, who was sent by Kang Sheng to Anhui to collect social news. He was originally a cultural cadre in the Shanghai Garrison District. Eyes and ears, before Liu Jiaju came to Anqing, he told Liu Jiaju to come to him if there was anything that could not be resolved.

Liu Jiaju turned around and left the meeting room, went to the office next door to call Hefei, and found the liaison officer surnamed Yang. Liu Jiaju informed him of the urgent situation at the moment, and he asked Liu Jiaju to call the head of the "Second Steel Division" to pick him up. Call, Liu Jiaju immediately went to the meeting room and told the middle-aged man, "Mr. Kang's liaison officer is looking for you on the phone."

They didn't believe it, Liu Jiaju said: "He is in Hefei and wants to talk to you."

He came to the office suspiciously and picked up the microphone. The other party spoke loudly and loudly, saying that he had asked Mr. Kang for instructions and asked the "Second Steel Division" to return all the people and ships who came to Anqing, and not leave a single bullet behind.

The leader had never encountered such a person representing the central government calling him to make a request. He judged from the other party's chief tone that it could not be fake. He had no choice but to say: "Let's have a meeting right away, convey your opinion to everyone, and listen to the Central Cultural Revolution."

The leader was overwhelmed, put down the microphone, turned back to the meeting room and shouted: "Everyone be quiet." When everyone calmed down, he said: "Just now Mr. Kang instructed us to go back immediately. If the Anqing problem is not resolved, the G faction is still attacking City, I will be right back." The following words were added by him for his step down.

The arrogance of more than a dozen rebels was suppressed, and the voice of cursing was lowered. A young man said, "Then let's wait on the boat instead of leaving."

Liu Jiaju immediately said: "Please believe that we will be equal in dealing with the issues of the two factions."

A few of them met and decided to evacuate. Liu Jiaju sent them back to the small sampan again.

At this time, a large number of fighters sent by P assembled on the embankment with live ammunition. They knew that the ship from Wuhan was forced to return, and they came to pay their respects. When the sampan of the "Second Steel Division" left the shore, thousands of guns sent by P on the embankment were raised high and fired into the air, and the river trembled amidst the sound of gunfire.

Liu Jiaju heaved a sigh of relief.
