Wake up（298）

Wang Wu and Hua Runmei came to the small hotel, and met Nanyang Sheng, Wanru, Cheng Yenan and Sun Aijun who came to look for him in the living room. When they talked about the story of Wang Wu's parents, they also talked about Lin Biao and Jiuyi. Three events. These young people were surprised and lost.

But why did Lin Biao flee? Wang Wu continued to narrate this history with these young people of the same age.

On September 12, 1971, the day before Lin Biao left, Lin Biao lived in Building No. 96 in Beidaihe. He had been reviewing the list of cadres in the morning and afternoon, and attended the wedding of his daughter Lin Doudou in the evening. Who would believe that Lin Biao showed any signs of fleeing?

The next day, September 13, Lin Biao, who had already taken sleeping pills, was urged by his son Lin Liguo and his wife Ye Qun to get into the car outside, and then boarded the plane parked at Shanhaiguan Airport.

It was only an hour's flight from Shanhaiguan to the plane crash site, but for some reason, Trident circled the sky for more than an hour. The plane's fuel could no longer support them to reach their destination.

Forty minutes after Lin Biao's plane flew out of the Chinese border, that is, around 2:30 a.m. on the 13th, the plane No. 256 crashed in Undur Khan, Mongolia, and all eight men and one woman on board died. The plane was smashed to pieces, a large piece of weeds were scorched, and the wreckage of the plane was everywhere. The right wing wiped the ground and left a groove mark several meters long, and an aircraft tire flew hundreds of meters away. The bodies of Lin Biao and others were thrown more than ten meters away from the wreckage of the plane and lay in a mess in the wilderness. Lin Biao's left leg was broken, and Ye Qun's right arm was broken. Lin Liguo's body was twisted and in great pain, but he still had a pistol around his waist, and his work card with his name and age on it was beside him.

On September 16, about 80 hours after the crash of Plane 256, the bodies of Lin Biao, Ye Qun, Lin Liguo and others were put into wooden coffins and buried side by side on the east slope of an unnamed highland about one kilometer away from the accident site.

Later investigations on the scene of the crash also showed that the plane crashed and died because of a failed forced landing.

Wang Wu said: I have read the book "Zhou Enlai in His Old Years". In the book, the author Gao Wenqian has a vivid description of the life-and-death separation between Zhou Enlai and Lin Biao at midnight on September 12: Zhou Enlai immediately understood Mao Zedong's intention to fully expose Lin Biao. So he gave up his original plan to go to Beidaihe to have an interview with Lin Biao and make a final recovery, and instead implemented Mao Zedong's intention to seize Lin Biao's private transfer of the private plane in Beidaihe and chase after him. Later facts proved that it was Zhou Enlai's cunning plan that forced Lin Biao to death. It was he who ordered the blockade of the special plane No. 256, which dealt a fatal blow to Lin Biao and forced him to a dead end.

In the more than 10 hours from learning of Lin Biao's escape to confirming that Lin Biao was thrown to death, Zhongnanhai experienced the most tense moment since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

On the afternoon of the 15th, the Chinese ambassador to Mongolia led his entourage to the accident site. After two days of inspection and autopsy, the evidence obtained can completely prove that the wreckage at the scene was the plane that Lin Biao escaped on. That night, when this relatively accurate news reached Beijing, Zhou Enlai was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. Wearing pajamas, he ran from the West Hall to Room 118 where Mao Zedong lived, and told Mao Zedong the unexpected news.

When Zhou Enlai came back from Mao Zedong, as soon as he entered the door, he said excitedly: "Bring Moutai, everyone celebrate!" All the senior generals gathered in the conference hall were on standby. When they heard the Prime Minister's words, they stood up in a hurry, happily fetched cups, and had a drink with the Prime Minister.

Wang Wu said sadly:

After the September 13th Incident in 1971, the task force found some materials affirming Confucius and Mencius in Lin Biao's residence, and reported them to Mao Zedong. Since then, Mao Zedong raised the issue of criticizing Confucius on several occasions, in order to prove that the essence of Lin Biao Group is extreme right. The real launch of the "criticizing Lin Piao and Confucius" movement began in January 1974. On January 12, Wang Hongwen and Jiang Qing jointly wrote a letter to Mao Zedong, suggesting that "Lin Biao and the Way of Confucius and Mencius" compiled by the Great Criticism Group of Peking University and Tsinghua University be forwarded to the whole country. On January 18, Mao Zedong approved the forwarding of this material as the No. 1 Central Document, and added a commentary stating that this material is important for continuing to criticize the extreme right essence of Lin Biao’s line, for continuing to criticize Confucian and anti-fa ideology, and for strengthening Education in ideological and political line will be of great help.

After the No. 1 document of the Central Committee was issued, Jiang Qing took advantage of the topic and put forward another set of materials. In his own name, he sent materials "criticizing Lin and Confucianism" to many units, talking about the so-called "anti-restoration" issue, and advocating that "revisionism is still the main issue at present. Danger”, she also spoke at the mobilization meeting of “Criticizing Lin Biao and Confucianism” on November 24 and 25 successively at the Central Military Commission, the garrison troops, and the central and state-affiliated agencies. Under the manipulation of Jiang Qing and others, "criticizing Lin and Confucianism" further developed into "criticizing the law and criticizing Confucianism", and took the opportunity to attack Zhou Enlai's restoration of some correct policies, measures and arrangements before the "Cultural Revolution" around 1972. A group of veteran cadres carried out insinuations and attacks on their methods of re-working, rectifying and developing the economy.

This movement caused serious confusion in the country's politics, ideology, and theory. The political situation that had just stabilized was disrupted again, new turmoil appeared in many regions and departments, production dropped sharply, and the national economy suffered a severe downturn.

Mao Zedong first supported the "Criticize Lin BiaoConfucius" movement. When he discovered that Jiang Qing and others were taking the opportunity to disrupt the country's plot, he decisively stopped it and severely criticized them. At the beginning of 1975, although the newspapers and magazines still mentioned the continuation of the "criticize Lin Biao Confucius" movement, it was no longer placed in a prominent position.

Wang Wu also said: Three Fatty's grandfather Zhang Guantong was arrested and died in prison when he was clearing out Lin Biao's buddies. Sanpang’s mother, Fu Zhuyun, was an expert in water conservancy, but she was labeled as a “reactionary academic authority” during the anti-rightist movement, and was later sent to her hometown of Lingnan Town. Sanpang's father, Zhang Zhenhua, was expelled from the party and forced to leave the army. He still stayed in Tonghua to fend for himself. During the reform and opening up, Zhang Zhenhua created a business company and acted as the general manager himself. But trouble hit him again.

It turned out that when rehabilitating unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, none of those involved in the case of Lin Biao Group would be rehabilitated justifiably. Zhang Zhenhua was very dissatisfied and complained constantly. The result was disaster.

Zhang Zhenhua once said to his friends: Chen Yun is 100 times worse than Kang Sheng, because Kang Sheng is just Mao Zedong's thug, who kills people in the officialdom; all of Chen Yun's poisonous schemes directly harm civilians. After the siege of Changchun in Northeast China, the CCP’s policy of “unified purchase and sales” of rural grains, which made farmers irreparable, also came from Chen Yun’s brain. Regardless of the ability to control the overall situation, Chen Yun is far superior to Mao Zedong.

Young people like Nanyangsheng, Wanru, Cheng Yenan and Sun Aijun were curious, why did Wang Wu scold Chen Yun?

Wang Wu gave an answer: It was 1988, when the chief political officer wrote a long historical volume of the War of Liberation, and the task of writing the Liaoshen Campaign fell on Zhang Zhenglong, a military writer. He interviewed many veterans who participated in the Liaoshen Campaign. Soldiers, I wrote a book reflecting the history of the end of the 1945 Anti-Japanese War. Our party immediately sent a large number of troops and cadres into the Northeast until the end of the Liaoshen Campaign. The documentary literature "Snow White and Blood Red" written by him praised the historical achievements of our army from weak to strong under the command of Lin Biao, without fear of sacrifice, and finally won the Liaoshen Campaign. But this book also exposes some of our dark sides, including the siege of Changchun and the fact that a large number of ordinary people starved to death after the siege of Changchun was also written down.

Wang Wu said that there are two shocking passages in it:

A large number of hungry and cold people fleeing from the city knelt in groups in front of our soldiers who were tasked with blocking the blockade in the cold winter, begging to let them live and let the people get out of the blockade, so that the people in Changchun City can go to the city. If you go to the countryside or other places, you will not starve to death. The lower-level soldiers of our army who are specifically responsible for the blockade mission are also human beings, and they have human nature. However, the military order is as high as a mountain, and no one dares to violate it. Many soldiers also knelt down to the kneeling common people! But no one dared to let go, and there were very few soldiers. His conscience was still alive, so he took the risk and let it go, but it turned out that he was engaged in military law, and everyone understood what that meant. The consequence of this is that hundreds of thousands of people were starved to death!

After the surrender of the Changchun National Army, our army entered the city and heard the sound of cracks coming from the homes of the common people. When we went in, we could not bear to see it: it turned out that bacteria fermented in the stomachs of ordinary people who starved to death. A lot of gas, the sound of the stomach bursting and bursting. This scene can definitely be said to be hell on earth!

After the book "Snow White and Blood Red" was published, the response was great. Some old cadres became furious when the book was spread to them. For example, Yang Shangkun got angry after reading this book, and shouted: How can such a book be published! He punched the coffee table, even knocking the cups on the coffee table to the ground up.

After investigation by the higher authorities, the author Zhang Zhenglong was arrested, and all the materials he obtained from interviewing veteran soldiers were searched. But later he was released again. First, there were people protecting him. Second, what he wrote were all well-founded facts, and the source of the materials were all famous veteran cadres and veterans who had personally participated in the Liaoshen Campaign. As soon as the authorities went to check with these veteran cadres and veterans, they couldn't find any faults, so they had no choice but to leave it at that.

But the book was completely sealed and became a banned book. Later, Zhang Zhenglong said to others: When he wrote this book, he was merciful, and he dared not write in many more powerful materials.

It turns out that there is an additional note:

The poisonous plan to trap hundreds of thousands of people in the city and prevent them from fleeing, starving to death, and finally forcing the national army to surrender was not proposed by Lin Biao, but by Chen Yun, Wu Xiuquan and other beasts.

I asked Lao Mao for instructions on this poisonous plan, and Lao Mao readily agreed, so our army in the Northeast surrounded Changchun without attacking it, and the people of Changchun City were wiped out.

Lin Biao is still a humane person! After being besieged for a while, many of the common people had starved to death. He couldn’t stand it anymore, so he sent a telegram to Lao Mao, saying that our army’s propaganda slogan was to fight for the people, but Doing so now contradicts the propaganda slogan. The cadres and soldiers carrying out the blockade mission at the bottom cannot figure it out, and it is difficult to do ideological work. Now many people have starved to death, and they hope that the people can be released to escape. According to the old rules, Lin Biao sent a telegram to Lao Mao to ask for instructions. If Lao Mao agreed, he would definitely call back. If he didn’t call back, Lao Mao disagreed.

Wang Wu said that Sanpang’s father did say: the last sinful trick caused hundreds of thousands of people in Changchun to starve to death! Before the war, there were 500,000 people in Changchun, but only 20,000 survived after the war! More than the Japanese invaders More people were killed in the Nanjing Massacre! The person who said those words should be the author of the book "Snow White and Blood Red", but he was fine, but my father was arrested, charged with spreading rumors to attack the People's Army, and Some attacked Mao Zedong, Chen Yun, etc. San Pang's father, like his grandfather, also died in prison.

Wang Wu sighed: After San Fatty's father died, all three of his brothers and sisters came to this small town. His mother left the Communist Party early in the Anti-Rightist Movement, and she converted to Christianity. With the help of several church members, she retired and lived in the United States. Later, San Fat’s brother immigrated to Portland, the United States, and lived with his mother. living together. His older sister immigrated to Edmonds, Canada. Edmonds borders Seattle, a port city in Washington State, USA, and Seattle is separated from Portland by the Columbia River.

Cheng Yenan asked, "Why doesn't Sanpang go abroad?"

Wang Wu said: "Of course I wanted to, but at that time I was facing a disaster of the epidemic and couldn't leave the country."

Wang Wu's girlfriend Hua Runmei smiled and said: "What Wang Wu said is not entirely true. The real reason is that Sanpang is in a relationship. He fell in love with a girl like a nymphomaniac. It was that girl who dragged his back." Legs, life or death will not let him abandon himself and go to the United States."
