Main story

Cruel rule

In 1929, Lu Diping was the chairman of Jiangxi provincial government. In order to consolidate the rule of Lu, Zhang huizan, a member of his trusted army, came to Jiangxi. After Zhang came to Jiangxi, he also served as the commander of Nanchang garrison. During his tenure, he killed people like hemp. He was a murderer without blinking an eye. Nanchang people called him "butcher Zhang". He wantonly arrested patriots on charges of so-called Communist Party suspects. In December of the same year, Chiang Kai Shek held a military meeting in Nanchang to "suppress the Communist Party" for officers above division level. Zhang huizan worked very hard to carry out the meeting. As a result, the Jiangxi provincial Party committee of the Communist Party of China and the Jiangxi provincial Party committee of the Communist Youth League were destroyed several times and forced to move from Nanchang to Jiujiang. Hundreds of Party members were arrested and killed. Wang xilao, Chen Shuigen (Shi pengchui), Wang laoduan and other activists of the SHIZIKOU peasant movement in Qingyun were killed by Zhang huizan.

Zhang's torture to revolutionary youth and patriots mainly includes:

(1) Electrocution: by electrocution, it can be executed quickly. In an instant, all of them can be executed.

(2) Water punishment: the former site of zhangjiangmen vassal Office (the back door of zhanghuizan's division headquarters) is in ruins. Two wooden frames are installed on the north open space. A thick horizontal column runs through the middle of the two ends of the frame, and a water bucket is placed under it. At night, the "Prisoners" in the detention center are tied up with hemp ropes and escorted to the vassal office. According to their names, they are hanged upside down and tied up On the horizontal column of the wooden frame, it was called "upside down gold hook", and the head of the "criminal" was pushed into a bucket full of water and drowned. It takes about five minutes to execute one person, and the soldier who executes one person gets a reward of 2 yuan. After the execution, the dead will be put into sacks and transported batch by batch to the big pit dug in advance in the daytime of xiashawo for shallow burial.

Zhang huizan was not only cruel, but also greedy for money. He often borrows a large amount of silver from Nanchang chamber of Commerce, which costs 80000-100000 yuan each time. If he doesn't agree, he threatens that he can't maintain public order. He even calls the president of the chamber of Commerce to the headquarters for a meeting. If he refuses, he will stay in the living room for a long time, which is like confinement. Every time the money approved by the chamber of commerce is distributed to all walks of life, no matter what store, it must be apportioned. This kind of forced "borrowing" is in fact "beating dogs with steamed stuffed buns, there is no way back", which completely satisfied Zhang huizan's private pocket.

Most of the soldiers led by Zhang huizan were untrained mobs with bad military discipline. After he came to Jiangxi, he forcibly occupied houses, arrested civil servants, bought money on credit, drank too much and fought too much. All of these led to discontent and complaints. Most of his troops were stationed in the suburbs of Qingyun Pu, and they often went to the teahouses, pubs, cinemas and prostitutes in the city to make trouble. Once I went to the guest house tavern in the urban area, I let a group of soldiers beat to pieces on the pretext of poor reception. Many times a day, banks, banks and shops in Nanchang are closed due to the harassment of Zhang huizan's followers.

Kill the "rouge tiger"

Zhang huizan, when he was the director of the police department in the capital of Hunan Province, killed Liu Mazi, a "Liu Mazi" who specializes in seducing women from good families to get along with others.

There is a special place to seduce women for the people with power and money to have fun, which is called "Taiji", also known as "Tiaotai". There is also a name for this kind of activity called "Tiao". Liu Mazi was one of the most famous and powerful figures in Changsha.

She has lost her conscience. She has become a "rouge tiger" who kills more sisters.

In the 13th year of the Republic of China, Zhang huizan served as the commander of the garrison and the director of the provincial capital police department. He was a subordinate of Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan Province. At the beginning of his term of office, he had heard of Liu Mazi's bad reputation and would like to get rid of harm for the people.

One evening, he sent the police to arrest Liu Mazi after the office hours had passed, and executed her the next day.

"Zhang huizan killed Liu Mazi" spread in Hunan for decades.

Longgang captured

In October 1930, Chiang Kai Shek gathered 120000 troops and divided them into eight columns. With Lu Diping, then chairman of Jiangxi Province, as commander-in-chief, and Zhang huizan, commander of the 18th division and commander in chief of "suppressing bandits" in Jiangxi Province, as commander-in-chief of the front line, he attacked the Central Revolutionary base from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province and Jianning, Fujian Province, from north to south, and tried to destroy it at one stroke "Zhu Mao" Red Army of workers and peasants.

At that time, the first and the third Red Army of the workers' and peasants' Red Army in the Central Soviet Area, with a total of about 40000 people, were deployed on both sides of Yuanshui from Qingjiang (now Linjiang) to Fenyi. In the face of the enemy's large-scale "encirclement and suppression", the Red Army decided to adopt the strategy and tactics of "luring the enemy in depth", and the first front army of the Red Army crossed the Ganjiang River and retreated to the base area to fight.

On December 16, the Kuomintang troops, which were ready for deployment, began to attack the central area of the base area. Zhang huizan and other three divisions occupied Futian, Donggu, Longgang and Yuanyuan. Mao Zedong was very observant, looking for opportunities. He decided to break through the middle and annihilate Zhang huizan first. On the night of the 29th, more than 20000 people from the third, fourth, twelfth and third Red Army units were quietly ambushed in the mountains near Longgang. In the early morning of the 30th, Mao Zedong and Zhu De climbed the xiaobie mountain together to command the battle.

At about 7 am on the 30th, the 18th division led by Zhang huizan started climbing from the east of Longgang and the west of xiaobie mountain. The heavy fog made Zhang huizan unable to distinguish between the depth of Longgang and the reality of the Red Army. He never expected that his army would enter the big pocket set by the Red Army after stepping into the small stone bridge in xiaobie village. At 10 am, the Red Army issued an order to attack. In only half an hour, two battalions of the enemy's 52nd brigade were eaten up. The brigade commander hurriedly informed Zhang huizan of the war situation. At this point, Zhang just woke up from his dream and knew that the main forces of the Red Army had gathered in Longgang and were laying a net. Knowing the consequences of being besieged by many soldiers, he ordered the troops directly under the division and the 53rd brigade to deal with it head-on, and concentrated their mortars and dozens of machine guns to counterattack the encircled Red Army, and fled to wangongshan in the way of fighting and retreating. However, how could the Red Army let its prey run away. He pursued and fought fiercely and bravely. He soon overtook and destroyed the division headquarters of the 18th division, and Zhou Weihuang, chief of staff of the division, was captured. By about 4 p.m., more than 9000 people in the division were annihilated or captured by the Red Army. After the destruction of the division headquarters, Zhang huizan saw that he was unable to return to the sky, so he quickly threw away his general's woollen uniform, put on a soldier's coat, put on his general's trousers, and climbed to the top of Wangong mountain alone. When he reached the middle of the mountain, he heard the sound of gunfire on the top of the mountain. Knowing that the top of the mountain had been occupied by the Red Army and he could not go up any more, he looked around in a hurry and found a pit under a big maple not far away. He quickly climbed into the pit and covered himself with the grass on the side. After a while, several soldiers from the tenth division of the Fourth Red Army came to the big maple tree. When they saw that the grass on the side of the pit had just been scratched, they went forward to pick it out with a gun, and the people hidden inside were exposed. In this way, Zhang huizan was captured alive by the Red Army soldiers.

Zhu maolibao

Amid the cheers of the Red Army soldiers, Zhang huizan was escorted to Longgang street. Zhu De, commander in chief of the first front army of the Red Army, arrived after hearing the news. Zhu De looked at the bound Zhang huizan, and then said to the Red Army soldiers in charge of custody, "untie the rope, don't tie it." Zhang huizan, who had been untied, knew that the elder in coarse military uniform standing in front of him was Zhu De, commander of the Red Army, and quickly asked, "how much do you want to let me go?"

On hearing this, Zhu De waved his hand: "Mr. Zhang huizan, do you think we are the Red Army
