Chapter 247 10. "Sacrifice" Wang Yaowu gave a speech on the radio

At 17:15 on September 24, Jinan City declared its liberation.The enemies who were besieged in places such as Ma'anshan, Qianfoshan and Licheng outside Jinan also surrendered one after another, and those who were wiped out were wiped out.When the whole army celebrated the victory of the Jinan Campaign, Wang Yaowu, the commander of Jiang Jun's second "appeasement" area and chairman of the KMT's Shandong Province, was not caught. Where did Wang Yaowu go?Within a few days the mystery was solved.Since the Wuhuawen uprising on the battlefield, Wang Yaowu seemed to have been beaten by frost. Faced with the powerful offensive of the People's Liberation Army, the army's morale became more unstable, and he himself had no confidence in "defending to the death".It happened that the "Minister of National Defense" He Yingqin flew over Jinan the next day, and the minister cheered up the Jinan defender for a while in the air.

Wang Yaowu watched the plane flying farther and farther, and the emptiness and despair in his heart became more and more intense, "Let's stick to it and wait for help, stick to it and wait for help, when will we wait? It seems that we can only wait until the whole army is wiped out!" He almost hugged Head burst into tears.The situation dragged on until 11:00 am on the 24th. Shells were flying around the Beiji Pavilion in the northeast of Daming Lake in Jinan.Now that Wang Yaowu's temporary command post has been exposed, and there are no soldiers to use or battles to fight, the brothers are unwilling to fight desperately no matter what they say.

Wang Yaowu then sighed, and said to Chief of Staff Luo Xinli: "I'm leaving, and it's no good staying here. The matter is already clear, and you all have to find your own way." Then, the commander, who once commanded an army of 100,000, asked the four guards to take off their military uniforms and put on plain clothes according to the original plan.Wang Yaowu wore a double-breasted jacket and black trousers, carried a quilt on his shoulders, said goodbye to his chief of staff in tears, and left the city with four guards among the refugees. At first, Wang Yaowu disguised himself as a patient, put plaster on his face, wore an old fedora hat on his head, covered his eyes low, and let a cart push him away.After leaving the city, he hired two more carts, changed his clothes, and pretended to be seriously ill.I saw him covering his face with a towel, covered with two large quilts, and lying in the car moaning.

The four guards, some pushing carts and some carrying objects, walked eastward along the main road on the north side of Jiaoji Road, trying to sneak across the liberated area and escape to Qingdao.In the first four days, he passed the customs without any "trouble", but on September 28, what he dreaded finally happened. At 8 o'clock in the morning that day, when Wang Yaowu and his party entered the Zhangjianchang Bridge in Shouguang County, the public security officers found the two unusual carts and detained them. Therefore, Wang Yaowu's Western scenery was exposed. At first, Wang Yaoarmed was a serious patient, lying in the car and tossing and turning, his humming became louder and louder.A public security officer walked up to him, and Wang stuck out his tongue, expressing that he was seriously ill and unable to speak.The public security personnel rushed to find a doctor to treat him, only to find that this strange businessman, who had changed into an old black cotton robe, had the same pulse as a healthy person.The interrogator smiled and asked, "Then you should tell me your name." Wang Yaowu pretended to be struggling and wrote the word "Qiao".The police officer asked: "Where does Qiao live and what does he do?" Wang replied: "He is from Linqing. He opened a restaurant in Jinan." Then asked: "What is the name?" Wang couldn't answer.

"Why, you are the boss, and you even forgot your own name?" the police officer asked puzzled. "Well, that's what I forgot, and I was confused by the cannon." "Okay, think about it again." The police officer asked again, "Who is that person sitting in the same car as you?" "He, he is my nephew." Wang Yaowu's expression became more and more nervous. "Where is your nephew from? What village? Who is his father and what is his name?" "Hmmmmm... I can't remember what village he is from. It's not far from my place. His father is a villager, what's his name? I can't remember... Yes, his name is Qiao." Wang Yaowu hesitated, full of words. His head was sweating profusely, and he was obviously confused by fright. He actually put his fake name on the head of his "nephew"'s father.

Seeing this situation, the public security personnel almost laughed out loud.Then he said to him solemnly: "The policy of the Communist Party of China is: All enemies should be handed over their guns and not killed. However, if a prisoner cheats and conceals it, we don't want to capture a copper coin, but we don't welcome people who are full of lies! Who are you?" ? Tell the truth!" Wang Yaowu thought over and over again, and finally said helplessly and slowly: "I have come to such a world, let me tell the truth, I am Wang Yaowu. I am the commander of the 2nd appeasement area of ​​the Kuomintang army, the executive member of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and the chairman of Shandong Province. , Shandong Provincial Security Commander."

The liberation of Jinan was another heavy blow to Chiang Kai-shek, and another 110,000 troops were canceled from his army list.Angrily, he yelled in the Legislative Yuan: "We will send a strong force to take back Jinan!" But he didn't even know where the "powerful force" was.In order to stabilize the already shaken military morale, he also announced that "General Wang Yaowu died a heroic sacrifice." However, the most ridiculous thing in the world is that just a few days after Chiang Kai-shek said this, Wang Yaowu made a radio speech on the radio station in the liberated area led by the Communist Party.He said: "I am Wang Yaowu, the former commander of the 2nd appeasement zone of the Kuomintang and the chairman of Shandong Province. Now I, together with 22 senior generals, including former deputy commander of Shandong security Nie Songxi, and former Yanzhou city defense commander Huo Shouyi, jointly publish an open letter to Kuomintang officers."

"I should report to all my old friends, old classmates, and old colleagues," Wang Yaowu said. "After we were captured, we were not insulted or robbed, just like what the People's Liberation Army said before we were captured." Wang Yaowu reported that they were Then he analyzed the situation of the civil war, and finally called on the Kuomintang soldiers to put the overall situation first, not to be loyal to individuals, and to rise up in time and lay down their weapons.
