Chapter 3 Chapter 02 Mysterious Person, Precious Information

New Year's Day in 1950 was approaching, and for several days, there were gusts of cold wind and cold rain.One evening, Fu Zhenzhong, the chief of staff of the Qiongya Column, was notified that Feng Baiju, the commander and political commissar of the column, had something to ask him, so he hurried to the Caoliao where Feng Baiju lived.Feng Baiju looked at Fu Zhenzhong, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and said: I am going south, and my army has already gathered in Leizhou Peninsula. The superior instructed us Qiongzong to send a leading cadre to Guangzhou to report the situation in Hainan to the 15th Corps, and proposed that our Liu Jiefang Hainan Suggestions on combat, and assist in commanding the army to cross the sea. After our research, we think it is more suitable for you to go.

Feng Baiju paused while talking about this, and asked, "Do you have any comments?" Hearing Feng Baiju's words, Fu Zhenzhong felt that the task was heavy, and his sense of lofty mission rose sharply.He immediately replied: "Resolutely obey the organization's arrangements." Feng Baiju smiled, and explained some questions to Fu Zhenzhong, and finally reached out and held his hand tightly and said: "Time is running out, the faster the crossing, the better. After meeting the head of the 15th Corps, please pass on my two suggestions: First, take advantage of the fact that the enemy's defense line is still deployed and not yet tight, first smuggle a group of troops; second, if this is not possible, send a group of cadres and ordnance technicians to smuggle a batch of guns and ammunition to enrich Qiongzong's combat effectiveness. "When Fu Zhenzhong was getting ready to go, Feng Baiju sent Fu Zhidong, the organization section chief of the Political Department, to send the combat map of Hainan Island, the enemy's fortification situation and my Qiongzong's password, and also brought 200 Guangyang as travel expenses.

After a long journey, Fu Zhenzhong came to Ma Village in Chengmai County.At this time, Zhang Guangxing, Secretary of the Chengmai County Party Committee, and Wu Zhenggui, the leader of the county government, had already arrived at Ma Village and were waiting there.After the meeting, Zhang Guangxing immediately introduced the situation of Ma Village to Fu Zhenzhong.Macun is a large village with more than 300 households. The villagers are mainly engaged in fishing. In 1928, our party established a grass-roots organization here, and it is a fortress village that has persisted in the revolutionary struggle for a long time.One kilometer away from Macun, there is Macun Port, which is a key point on the coastal defense line in the west of Hainan Island. The enemy sent 1 battalion to garrison, the battalion headquarters and 2 companies were stationed in Macun, and 1 company was stationed at the port.

After Zhang Guangxing introduced the situation of Ma Village to Fu Zhenzhong, he talked about the situation of the three people who helped him cross the sea: "Ma Jiantai, the Party branch of Ma Village, is a nominal security chief who is very good at dealing with the enemy. The trust of the Kuomintang troops in the village; there is also Ma Jiashu, an underground worker sent by our party who often buys supplies in enemy-occupied areas, and is very familiar with all aspects of the situation; and the other is Sun Yumei, a businesswoman. .” Hearing this, Fu Zhenzhong couldn't help interrupting Zhang Guangxing: "Why do you want a businesswoman?"

Zhang Guangxing replied with a smile: "She is also very special as a 'businessman'. She is a party member and the lover of Ma Chuanjun, a member of the 4th District Committee of Chengmai. Her husband died in the enemy's crazy sweep three months ago. She used the businessman Because of her identity, she often gets close to the concubine of the Kuomintang battalion commander in Zhuma Village, and has obtained a lot of important information. As a shrewd businessman, she will help you cross the sea." At this time, Feng Zhenzhong deeply felt that the Chengmai County As the starting point of his secret journey to the north, the village was carefully considered.Afterwards, Ma Jiantai, Ma Jiashu, Sun Yumei and others came to meet with Fu Zhenzhong, and together they studied the plan of how to make a boat cross the sea.At this time, the ships had been blocked by the Kuomintang garrison and they were not allowed to go to sea. Therefore, building ships was the first task.

Sun Yumei proposed to start with the concubine of the enemy battalion commander she met.The enemy's battalion commander's concubine is a woman who loves petty gain and flattery, and is very addicted to cigarettes.Sun Yumei seized this characteristic of her, took two 35 brand cigarettes, and went to the residence of the enemy battalion commander. It happened that only his concubine was at home.Sun Yumei handed over the cigarette and said, "Oh, I don't have any business to do these days, and I don't have anything to do as a meeting gift. If my wife doesn't think it's too polite, I can accept it."

When the battalion commander's wife saw the two foreign cigarettes, she immediately smiled and stretched out her hand to grab the cigarettes while pretending to be polite and said: "Oh, we are old acquaintances, come and sit when you are free, and why don't you bring me a meeting gift? Take your things!" "Ma'am, I'm not boasting about Haikou. If sailing was allowed a few months ago, let alone these two cigarettes, even giving away ten or eight cannons would be a trivial matter. Alas, now...," Sun Yumei said here, Glancing at his aunt, he deliberately didn't continue.

"It's all because of Feng Hai's detainment of the boat." The aunt also complained dissatisfiedly: "A few months ago, my family was full of crabs, prawns, and fresh fish. Now I have to eat sauerkraut pulled from Haikou. I eat so much. The roots of my teeth are sore.” "If I can go out for a trip, I will definitely be able to earn a lot of money." Seeing that his aunt's heart was moved, Sun Yumei went further. "I'll definitely tell my boss, but..." At this point, the money-hungry aunt paused on purpose, staring straight at Sun Yumei's face with her walnut eyes.

The shrewd Sun Yumei immediately recognized the meaning behind the "but", and immediately said: "At that time, I will never forget the Battalion Commander and you." After clearing the level of the battalion commander's concubine, the game of chess will come to life.The annual "Sea Festival" is here.Ma Jiantai, Ma Jiashu, Sun Yumei and others decided to use the name of "Sacrifice to the Sea" to entertain the couple of the enemy battalion commander and persuade him to approve going to sea.Early in the morning, Ma Jiantai and Ma Jiashu sent a few people to the beach to fish, catch shrimps and crabs, but Sun Yumei was busy at home killing chickens and ducks, cooking and preparing wine.After a sumptuous banquet was prepared, Sun Yumei went to invite the "distinguished guests".The battalion commander is a guy who is jealous of money and addicted to alcohol.The villagers didn't go out to sea recently, and he couldn't find anything delicious to drink with in the village. He had been hungry for a long time, and when he heard that there was good food and wine, his stomach would churn, there was no reason for it.Seeing delicious dishes such as white chicken, red roast duck, oil-roasted cream crab, freshly braised grouper, and dry-fried squid on the table of the Eight Immortals, and smelling the aroma of wine, I couldn't help but salivate. After taking the table, the battalion commander's concubine said with a smile:

"Oh, I prepared such a good dish." Sun Yuhui said with a smile: "It's far worse than in previous years. I can't go out to sea, and I can't do anything if I want to get some sea cucumbers and fish maws." After three patrols, Ma Jiantai looked at the enemy camp Chang Jiu was in high spirits, so he took the opportunity to say: "It is a blessing for the people of Ma Village that the national army is stationed in our village. It is a pity that the sea has been closed for many days, and everyone has no salt to eat." "Yes," Ma Jiashu said to the enemy battalion commander. Handing over a big Paotai cigarette, he said: "The New Year is approaching, and the sugar we squeezed can't be sold, and we don't have money to buy things." Seeing what Ma Jiantai and Ma Jiashu said, the concubine also said along the way: "I see, you Just as a favor, let them go out and do business once."

However, the enemy battalion commander still didn't let go, he said: "It's not that I don't give everyone face, seal the sea and detain the boat, this is the order of the superior, it is a last resort. But...," the enemy battalion commander said here, the greedy eyes The mouse glanced around. As soon as Sun Yumei heard this, she knew that the time was right, so she immediately took out a bag of silver dollars, handed it to the concubine, and said, "This is just a small idea, and I will give you a big thank you when you make money." As soon as the enemy battalion commander saw the bag, Yinyang asked cheerfully, "Where are you going?" "To Lingao," Ma Jiantai said, "I am the trustworthy security chief of the national army. With me on board, you can rest assured, battalion commander." "That's good, Later, I will approve a release and approve your security chief to go to Lingao to buy salt and make goods. The ship will sail today and return to port tomorrow, and everyone on board will be inspected." "Then I really have to thank the battalion commander and his wife," Ma Jiantai He replied: "Come on, let's drink to the health of the battalion commander and his wife!" The ship going out to sea was settled, but because the enemy had to board the ship for inspection before sailing, how to board Fu Zhenzhong was another problem. Finally, I finally came up with a good idea.As night fell, the tide began to rise.Ma Jiantai and Ma Jiashu led a few boatmen, boarded the boat generously, loaded brown sugar, and let the enemy sentry at the port check. Fu Zhenzhong and Chengmai county government leader Wu Zhenggui, who was going to escort him across the sea, tied a fishing lantern on his head, carried a fish basket on his back, and held a fish cover in his hand. up and wait.Wait until the enemy sentinel boards the ship and agrees to let them go after inspection.Ma Jiantai was on the boat shouting: "Catch fish and crabs, come and help me, the boat has run aground." Hearing the shout, the party members and the masses who had been arranged in advance came to push the boat. When the boat was pushed further and further away, Under the cover of the vast night, Fu Zhenzhong and Wu Zhenggui jumped onto the boat, so the boatman turned the rudder and sailed to the north. On January 25, 1950, Fu Zhenzhong arrived in Guangzhou secretly through the turbulent sea, and then went to the office of Ye Jianying, chairman of the Guangzhou Military and Political Committee, to report comprehensively on the military and political situation in Hainan. When Fu Zhenzhong came to the meeting room of the Guangzhou Military and Political Committee, he was warmly welcomed by Ye Jianying, Deng Hua, Lai Chuanzhu, Hong Xuezhi, and Han Xianchu, deputy commander of the 12th Corps and commander of the 40th Army.At this moment, Fu Zhenzhong seemed to have returned to his long-lost hometown, seeing his relatives whom he had been looking forward to day and night, and tears of happiness flowed from his eyes from time to time.Then, he took out the prepared materials and began to report the situation in Hainan in detail. The whole report took more than 4 hours. Fu Zhenzhong first reported the situation of our Hainan base: "The consolidated area of ​​my base is located in the four counties of Ledong, Baoting, Baisha, and Qiongzhong in the middle of Qiongya, and most of the remaining counties are guerrilla areas. Our Hainan armed forces cannot conduct guerrilla warfare. There are only a few small areas of activity: one is the villages on both sides of the road from Haikou to Chengmai and Bailian City; the other is from Haikou to Longtang and the villages on both sides of the Beichong River; The villages in one area; the fourth is the triangle area between Yulin, Sanya and Tiandu. Party and government organizations have been generally established in various regions, but only individual townships, such as the villages along the road from Haikou to Bailian City, have no party and government organizations. In Haikou, around Fucheng, to Longtang, Tieqiao and other townships, there are only party organizations without party organizations. The political organization, the party and government organization in Longlou Township, District 3, Wenchang, has not been established, and the villages near Yulin and Sanya have no party organization.These unorganized or poorly organized areas account for only a small amount of Qiongya as a whole.

Of the 7 regiments, 6 regiments or 7 regiments can often be concentrated, but when the enemy is fighting us alone with absolute superiority, there is no such concentration. This is our actual experience in this year's combat. Ye Jianying, Deng Hua and others listened carefully, nodding knowingly from time to time.Encourage Fu Zhenzhong to continue speaking.Fu Zhenzhong looked at the chief's encouraging eyes, took a sip of water, and began to report the enemy's situation in detail: the highest commanding body of the Qiongya enemy army is the Puppet Qiongya Garrison Command, with Chen Jitang serving as the commander in chief, Huang Guodong, Chen Ji, Rong Rong as the deputy commander in chief.

The chiefs should inform me early before landing. Alternately, we can prepare and act according to the plan. " Hearing this, Ye Jianying interrupted the report and asked Fu Zhenzhong to repeat it again. While ordering someone to record it carefully, he marked it with red and blue pencils on the battle map. Then, Fu Zhenzhong reported the conditions of the people in various places, rice grains and the situation of main roads. Fu Zhenzhong's report enabled Ye Jianying and the head of the 15th Corps to further understand the situation in various aspects of Hainan Island, and felt that the liberation of Hainan Island was more assured. On February 1, 1950, under the leadership of Comrade Ye Jianying, the 15th Corps held a combat meeting for the Hainan Campaign in Guangzhou.Attending the meeting were Corps Commander Deng Hua, Political Commissar Lai Chuanzhu, Deputy Commander of the 12th Corps and Commander of the 40th Army Han Xianchu, Political Commissar Yuan Shengping, Commander of the 43rd Corps Li Zuopeng, Political Commissar Zhang Chiming and others.Ma Baishan, deputy commander of the Qiongya column, and Fu Zhenzhong, chief of staff, who returned to Guangzhou after going to Beijing to participate in the Political Consultative Conference, also attended the meeting. According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission and the 4th Field Army and the situation of Hainan Island reported by Fu Zhenzhong, the meeting analyzed and studied the favorable and unfavorable factors of our army's cross-sea operations, and discussed and determined the guidelines for the campaign.Everyone believes that although there are 100,000 enemies on the island, they are all rebuilt after being attacked by us and patched together by local teams. The internal factions are complicated, morale is not high, and the combat effectiveness is not strong; The first-line defensive configuration around the island has limited maneuverable troops and many defensive loopholes; although our army is not superior in number compared with the enemy, its morale is high and its combat effectiveness is strong; the island has the Qiongya Column led by our party and the The Qiongya base area has the full support of the party, government, military and civilians in Central South and South China, and has the experience of friendly troops crossing the sea.The general situation is in my favour.At the same time, everyone also pointed out that we should also be aware of the existing unfavorable factors: this is the first time for our army to cross the sea, and it lacks experience, modern sea crossing tools and the cooperation of the navy and air force. This is the main difficulty our army faces.As long as our army makes full use of these favorable factors, exerts its subjective initiative, fully prepares, strictly organizes, and makes no mistakes in command, it is certain to wipe out the enemies on the island. The meeting also discussed our army's campaign guidelines.Comrades at the meeting believed that due to our army's conscientious implementation of the instructions of the Central Military Commission, Chairman Mao and the wild division, the preparations for the campaign are progressing smoothly. The two armies have collected more than 800 large and small wooden boats, and the work of training 6,000 sailors is also underway.However, if our army lands with one army at a time, the conditions are still immature, mainly due to the shortage of ships, and there are still lack of measures and methods to deal with the harassment of the enemy's navy and air force.It will take some time before our army's large-scale landing preparations are completed.There are 100,000 enemy troops on the island. If our army is preparing to cross over on a large scale, the enemy may first vigorously suppress and weaken the strength of the Qiongya column on our island, and then turn around to deal with our army landing. The difficulty of combat. In the end, Ye Jianying gathered everyone's opinions and decided to adopt the campaign guideline of "actively smuggling people, combining small crossings in batches with final landing" based on the possible changes in the seasonal wind direction at that time and the progress of ship preparations. Smuggle in small groups in batches, join up with the Qiongya column after arriving in Hainan, fight small-scale mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, gradually change the situation on the island, destroy the enemy's defense preparations, strengthen the response force of our army on the island, and create a large-scale landing. With favorable conditions, the main force landed with the support of the Qiongya column and the early landing troops. Based on the above guidelines, the leaders of the 15th Corps, the 40th and 43rd Army, and the leaders of the Qiongya Column researched and formulated the scope of preparation work and the smuggling work plan; the demarcation line between the two armies was divided: the west of Lingao was the landing operation area of ​​the 40th Army, Gao Yidong is the landing combat area of ​​the 43rd Army.It was also determined that the two armies first prepare a regiment to smuggle in order to gain experience. In order to strictly organize and timely smuggle people, it was decided that the 40th and 43rd armies, the 2nd Division of the Corps, and the Party Committee of Qiongya District would form a smuggling working committee in Leizhou Peninsula to be responsible for organizing and controlling the smuggling work.In the northern part of Hainan Island, two smuggling groups were set up, composed of Qiongya District Party Committee and the 40th and 43rd Army. On February 12, Chairman Mao approved the policy of smuggling with small troops. He pointed out: "One regiment of the 43rd Army will smuggle in first, and other troops will cross the sea in batches. If this method is effective, Hainan Island can be liberated early."
