Chapter 56 Recalling the Mausoleum Uprising led by Huang Ziwen

In 1947, Hu Zongnan frantically attacked our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.At that time, I was a member of the Standing Committee of Chunyao County and the chief of the security department. Because of my broken foot, I couldn't adapt to the guerrilla fighting environment. The county committee decided to let me go back to my hometown for treatment and recuperation.I returned to Lingqian at the end of March. I lived at home for thirteen days.About mid-April, I asked my brother Lan Yunfeng (deceased) to find Huang Ziwen and asked him to come to my house at night.Ziwen came to my house that night, and we talked all night.I asked Ziwen: "How did you leave Yan'an in 1942?" Ziwen said: "I was studying at the Marxist-Leninist College, and the leader of the college told me one day: talk to the Northwest Bureau about your matter. I don't know what to talk about. Under the urging of the leaders of the academy, I went to the border committee to meet Gao Gang. Gao Gang accused me of sowing relations with the cadres of the 26th Army and other things about me. I have no head I dealt with the situation mindlessly. After I left the border committee, the ideological struggle was fierce at that time. The focus was whether to return to the Marxist-Leninist College or to leave Yan’an. Finally, considering that Gao Gang was a celebrity, I made up my mind to leave Yan’an.”I asked Huang again: "How did you get to Xi'an?" Huang said: "After returning from Yan'an, I was going to find a blacksmith in Henan, and I wanted to make a living by blacksmithing. When I went to Lintong, I met Li Chizhai, an instructor of the Kuomintang party headquarters. Shi asked me. : Lao Huang, you are back, what do you plan to do? I said: I will stop my political life here. Shi suggested that I go to Wei Zhiyi’s Fifth Security Regiment. I think Wei is an acquaintance of mine. Military power. I agreed, and I went to the Xi’an Kuomintang military commander Chen Jianzhong. I have never done any bad things, and I am still a revolutionary.”I said again: "The old friends above still hope that you can go back to the border area." Ziwen stated at that time: "Do revolution for the rest of your life." I said: "Let's do it." Ziwen said: "The leader has Zixiang, Zhizheng, I have captured the mayor of Lingqian Township, so we must first bring over the armed forces of Ling, Ma, Bai, Cuo, Xiyang, and Luqiao."I asked, "Do you have any relationship with the higher authorities?" Huang said, "No." I said, "You don't. My feet are disabled. I will sleep all day tomorrow and go up to contact them at night."The next night, Huang Ziwen sent two people to see me off at Ganluchi, one named Lin Gaiming (Yaochen) and the other Zhang Yunde (not a local).The three of us entered the border area and met with Tan Guofan and Lu Jianren.I reported Ziwen and Zixiang's idea of ​​preparing an uprising to the two leaders. They said that they would call the Northwest Bureau and let us wait for the telegram.We waited for eight or nine days and returned to the mausoleum without a reply.After coming down, Ziwen came to my house, and I talked about the situation in the upper border area.Three days later, Huang Ziwen brought Sun Yijun and Sun Zhizheng to my house to discuss specific plans.Research results: ⑴If you want the people to be safe, you must pull out the nails in the Lingqian area; ⑵on the one hand, contact the higher authorities again; 10th) At the Dazhai Temple Fair, Zhang Fajie, the false county magistrate, was called up and detained.The leaders are Ziwen, Zixiang and Zhizheng.After the meeting, ask Sun Yijun to go up and get in touch again.Sun Yijun went up and waited for another week without any instructions from the Northwest Bureau.So I lived secretly with a relative.For the uprising, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

On May 5th, Huang Ziwen, Zixiang, Zhizheng, and Tianxiang made a careful plan and decided to revolt ahead of schedule. Huang Ziwen went to Ma'e Township Chang'an Zhongyang with Dai Zichao.After leaving, Ziwen said to Zhongyang: "At this point in the situation, the Eighth Route Army has reached Yao County, and you are still acting here...".Ziwen and the others left because they couldn't say a word.Then Ziwen asked Zixiang and others to call Zhongyang (Zixiang is Zhongyang's uncle), and first fired An Zhongyang's gun. On the other hand, he organized people to suppress dramas and prohibit gambling, so that the people could be gathered so that it was easier to collect the guns. .After unloading An Zhongyang's gun, Mu Tianxiang called Captain Liu and the three squad leaders of the Ma'e Township Office in the name of An. When they arrived, they immediately unloaded their guns.Then he successfully shot down the guns of all the armed personnel in the township office.A total of 26 guns were collected, including 21 short guns, one machine gun, more than 3,500 rounds of bullets, and more than 20 hand grenades.At the same time, more than 40 guns from six security guards in the Lingqian Township Office were gathered together, a total of more than 70 guns, and more than 90 people declared a riot.On May 6th (March 16th in the lunar calendar), Ziwen asked my elder brother Lan Yunfeng to inform me that the uprising had started, and the guns of Ling and Ma were taken away, and the army was staying at Xiaodaokou. Let me go there immediately .He also said that due to the large number of contacts between Wen and Wen, fear of accidents, the uprising time was advanced, and other places were in the hands of others, so it was difficult to do it, but Ling and Ma revolted.

I met Ziwen, Zixiang, and Zhizheng at Xiaodaokou, and immediately held a leadership meeting with me. The center studied what to do at night, and finally decided to go straight to the border area overnight, and let me speak to the soldiers.I said at the meeting that we are a township party, and I was appointed by Malandi to welcome everyone.He also spoke about the situation and the revolution. On the evening of May 6th, under the leadership of Huang Ziwen and other comrades, we set off from Xiaodaokou, passed through Hongshui, Changsheyuan (the boundary of Chunhua), and when we arrived at the stele, we met Tan Guofan, the Commander-in-Chief of Wei, who came to meet us. Army, let's go to Anshe, the residence of the general Wei in Chunhua.A few days later, the Weibei Working Committee announced in Yaojiahe, Chishui County (Chunhua County), that Huang Ziwen's uprising team would be organized as the first detachment of the Weibei Corps of the Guanzhong Army Division.The detachment leader Huang Zixiang, deputy leader Huang Ziwen, political director Sun Zhizheng, staff officer Mu Tianxiang The detachment has two brigades, the first brigade Zhang Yunde (later rebelled), and the second brigade leader Chen Xinmin, with a total of more than 100 people and guns.At this time, I went to Chunyao County and reported to Zhao Boping, Secretary of the Malan District Committee.

The uprising in front of the mausoleum was very shocking. It was during the most difficult period of the revolution. The uprising occurred at the critical moment when the bandits invaded the border area. It was as if a sharp knife had been inserted into the enemy's heart. A triumphant battle song enriched the armed forces for the liberation of Sanyuan and Xi'an.The achievements of the Mausoleum Uprising led by Huang Ziwen are always worthy of our praise.
