Cinder Cave

--Zhazidong is not a cave, but a prison. The most famous martyr is "Jiang Jie".

--The original site was restored and rebuilt. The site is very small, and many of them are reproductions. However, it can reflect the scene at that time. The atmosphere is depressing, and the instruments of torture displayed are shocking.

synonym

Zhazidong generally refers to zhazidong concentration camp

At the foot of Gele Mountain in Chongqing, 2.5km away from baigongguan. Zhazidong used to be a small coal mine on the outskirts of Chongqing. It got its name because of more slag and less coal. There are mountains on three sides and ditches on one side of Zhazi cave, which is relatively hidden. In 1939, the KMT juntong spy forced the mine owner to death, occupied the coal mine, and set up a prison here. The outer courtyard is the secret service office and torture room. The inner courtyard has 16 rooms on the first floor and the first floor, and the other two bungalows are women's prisons.

There are more than 300 revolutionaries detained here, such as Jiang Zhuyun, Xu Jianye and he Xuesong, who were arrested after the failure of the three armed uprisings in upper and Lower East Sichuan, in the case of the "June 1" big arrest, the "little democratic revolution" case, the "advance newspaper" case, and the revolutionaries arrested after the failure of the three armed uprisings in upper and Lower East Sichuan. They once lived in "little luobutou" and their family. On November 27, 1949, KMT secret agents planned a massacre that shocked China and foreign countries on the eve of the rout, and only 15 people got out of danger.

History of the residence

After the white mansion was changed into the third guest house of the Sino US cooperation center in 1943, the prisoners had to move out. The general affairs director of the Military Commission, intoxicated, drove a jeep to look around in person, and finally chose zhazidong as the new place to hold the prisoners in the former Bai mansion detention center.

In July 1946, Xifeng prison and wanglongmen detention center were abolished, Xifeng prison, wanglongmen prison and zhazidong prison and detention center were merged into zhazidong prison and detention center, and all the prisoners of former Xifeng prison and wanglongmen prison and detention center were merged into zhazidong prison and detention center.

After the cancellation of SACO, the prisoners moved back in April 1947, and zhazidong prison was merged into baigongguan detention center, but temporarily abandoned.

In December 1947, zhazidong re imprisoned prisoners, known as "Chongqing Xingyuan second detention center". The prisoners are mainly those from the educational and press circles who were arrested in the June 1 arrest in 1947, those arrested in the underground armed case of the little democratic revolution, those captured in the three armed uprisings in upper and Lower East Sichuan, those arrested in the advance newspaper incident, and members of the East Sichuan and Sichuan Kangxi branches of the democratic revolution. At most, more than 300 people have been detained. Jiang Zhuyun, Xu Jianye, Yu zusheng and others have been detained here.

At the end of November 1949, on the eve of Chongqing's liberation, more than 200 revolutionaries imprisoned here were killed.

11.27 Massacre

On October 1, 1949, when the news of the founding of new China reached zhazidong and baigongguan prisons, the revolutionaries were overjoyed. More than 100 people, including Luo guangbin, Chen Ran and Ding Diping, who were held in baigongguan prison, could not calm their excitement. They made a red flag with a red sheet and a few paper scissors. After the red flag was finished, it was hidden under the floor of the cell. On the eve of victory, except Comrade Luo guangbin, all the other comrades died with honor.

Yang Hucheng killed

In August 1949, Chiang Kai Shek and Mao Renfeng came to Chongqing and personally arranged the massacre plan.

Yang zhenggui, Secretary song Qiyun, Xu Linxia and his eldest son song Zhenzhong (little luobutou) were escorted from Guizhou to Chongqing. They were secretly killed in Dai Li's reception room and guard room that night. In order to cover people's eyes and ears, the enemy buried General Yang Hucheng's body under the flower bed of Dai Lihui's guest room and planted flowers and plants. Song Qiyun and his wife were buried in the basement of the guard room and then planted with sanhetu.

On the eve of Liberation

At 4 p.m. on November 27, the PLA had liberated most of Sichuan, and the KMT began to massacre the detainees. When the enemy slaughtered the revolutionaries in baigongguan prison, they also proposed three groups of people from zhazidong prison to be escorted to baigongguan and shot. Late at night, the sound of guns from the people's Liberation Army could be heard faintly. At this time, there were still 19 revolutionaries in baigongguan and more than 200 revolutionaries in zhazidong. The executioner of the refuse cave asked for help from the executioner of the white mansion, so the frenzied executioner concentrated in the refuse cave and locked all the men's and women's prisoners in the eight cells of the men's prison downstairs in the name of "transfer at once, do transfer". Suddenly, he shot with machine gun and carbine.

After the massacre, the cells were set on fire. When the executioners concentrated in the dregs cave to carry out the massacre, Yang qindian, the guard of the white mansion, because he was usually educated by the revolutionaries in prison, resolutely defected at this critical moment and stood on the side of justice. He went to open the cell door and released the last 19 people (including two children).

When the executioner slaughtered in the refuse cave, the martyrs blocked the cell door with their bodies to block the enemy's strafe. When the executioner set fire to the dregs cave, 30 injured or uninjured friends struggled to escape from the pool of blood and rushed to the gap of the wall. When they broke through, they were found by the executioner. More than a dozen people were shot and killed. Finally, 15 people (including two children) got out of danger.

The tragedy at the foot of Gele Mountain began in September 1949 and ended on November 29, with more than 300 martyrs.

Last hope escape wall

Continuous rainfall in Geleshan once washed down a wall of the refuse cave. The guards asked the revolutionaries in the prison to build it. These revolutionaries used the rotten cotton in their clothes and in the soil to weaken the viscosity and firmness of the soil. So when the revolutionaries escaped the machine gun fire of the spy, they pushed down the wall and escaped smoothly.
