Chapter 16 My close contact with troops stationed in Guangzhou

From the essence of interviews, the purpose of interviews is to discover the truth, goodness, and beauty in the world, and to inspire people to strive for a better life. Even if the interviews are fake, ugly, and evil, the purpose of the interview is to uphold justice and flog the darkness.Therefore, journalists have certain emotions whether they are interviewing positive reports or criticizing and exposing negative reports.Emotions range from love and admiration to revulsion and loathing.Emotion is an important basis for journalists to experience life, and it is also the bond that connects and closes the relationship between reporters and interviewees.

As a soldier of the Republic, I am full of infinite gratitude to the troops.In the special melting pot of the army, it not only exercised my muscles and bones, cultivated my thoughts, but also made me deeply appreciate the true feelings and warmth of the world. Because of this, as a political, legal and military reporter of the "Southern Metropolis Daily" at that time, I went to the land, air and armed forces stationed in Guangzhou several times, devoted myself to their fiery life, and wrote a lot of reports. ,passionate. On December 5, 1998, the earth in Yangcheng was cold and the temperature suddenly dropped to 11°C. Even so, the sun in the sky shone goldenly on the earth through thick clouds.At around 10 a.m. this morning, the solemn National Emblem of the Republic hung high behind the courtroom. Several judges of the Higher People’s Court of Guangdong Province, with stern expressions, pronounced “sentence to death, Immediate execution" final judgment.Zhang Ziqiang, who was handcuffed and fettered, lowered his mighty head in despair.

At about 11:00 a.m., with a piercing siren screaming, groups of armed police and armed police officers and soldiers escorted Zhang Ziqiang and others appeared at a certain execution ground in the suburbs of the city. At 11:15, with several gunshots of "ba ba ba...", Zhang Ziqiang, who was known as a "big rich man" by the Hong Kong gangsters, ended his life of crimes across Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau. At this time, the hundreds of armed police officers and soldiers who had been tasked with guarding the criminals for more than 100 days and nights breathed a sigh of relief.Chen Shaoji, deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and director of the Provincial Public Security Department, who personally directed the investigation of the case, spoke highly of the officers and soldiers of the armed police for being "safe"; Major General Hong Shaohu, the captain of the Guangdong Corps of the Armed Police, looked at the energetic officers and soldiers with satisfaction on his face smile.

After Zhang Ziqiang, who caused many kidnapping cases in Hong Kong, Macau and other places, fell into the French Open in Jiangmen, Guangdong, his life and death has been the focus of domestic and foreign news media, especially Hong Kong and Macau media.Hundreds of reporters gathered in Yangcheng, trying to get information about Zhang Ziqiang's detention and trial.The political and legal reporters of several major media outlets in Guangzhou who specialize in courts and the Provincial Public Security Bureau have also become favorites of Hong Kong and Macao journalists who are struggling to find news. They all want to get the news they want from them.At that time, I was a political and legal reporter for the Southern Metropolis Daily, and I was the reporter with the narrowest and least number of routes among several political and legal reporters. Some remote public security sub-bureaus, such as Fangcun Public Security Sub-bureau, Tianhe Public Security Sub-bureau, Guangzhou Baiyun, Guangzhou Frontier Inspection Station and other unnoticed units, sometimes encounter important meetings or news, because the relevant departments have to hold a unified press conference, Such light and easy good things are usually preempted by those reporters who have backstage and run important routes, and some painful, tiring and dangerous news such as on-site fires and car accidents, except for the reporters who ran 120 at that time Besides, most of them are reporters like us.At that time, I couldn't get any news about Zhang Ziqiang's case.But I, who is in charge of news about the army and the armed police, have long set my sights on the Guangdong armed police guarding Zhang Ziqiang.Of course, it wasn’t until after Zhang Ziqiang was taken to the execution ground for shooting that I found the opportunity to interview the armed police officers and soldiers guarding Zhang Ziqiang with the help of the propaganda officer and correspondent Song Rui of the Guangdong Provincial Armed Police Corps at the time.Walking into a detention center in Guangdong Province where Zhang Ziqiang and other criminal groups were detained, we saw pistols, submachine guns, and anti-riot guns everywhere. The officers and soldiers inside and outside the walls were highly vigilant.According to comrades from the Propaganda Department, as early as the first half of 1998, due to work needs, they went to the squadron three times to investigate, and wanted to write a news about the guards of the "Hong Kong Thieves", but the guards refused to disclose the slightest news until December 5. After Zhang Ziqiang and others carried out the shooting, Liu Jianjun, the deputy head of the first branch of the Armed Police Guangdong Corps, was willing to reveal the "mystery of the guards" here.

The defense of Zhang Ziqiang and other criminal groups is unprecedented. The 18 sentry posts constitute 3 tight security circles, and 5 sentry posts in the prison implement face-to-face guarding of 5 important criminals including Zhang Ziqiang, so as to grasp the dynamics of the prisoners’ changes in time and prevent the criminals from committing suicide; Azimuth monitoring to prevent criminals from escaping; several sentry posts on the periphery of the compound monitor external movements to prevent enemy agents from attacking. The 116 guard officers and soldiers were stationed at three points, forming a triangle, so that no matter which point had a situation, there would be troops to "break out" at the fastest speed.It is understood that Zhang Ziqiang's party members have visited Guangzhou many times, but they can only look at the heavily guarded guards and sigh.

On this day, a suspicious-looking van just entered the observation line of sight of the telescope, and the sentinel quickly reported the situation to the squadron.Immediately, the command group and each sentry immediately entered a fighting state.Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party turned around and ran away, and the public security police quickly gave chase.Although the man ran away, it provided an important clue for the public security department to detect Zhang Ziqiang's party members in the mainland.Afterwards, two more mainland accomplices were arrested and brought to justice.

The high-alert fighters will not let go of every move of the prisoner, even a tiny detail. On July 26, 1998, when the soldier Zu Piyu went to the sentry, he found that the apple Zhang Ziqiang ate seemed to have been peeled with something, so he reported it to the squadron in time. Stack them together and grind them into blades for peeling apples.This little blade can be used both to peel apples and to kill oneself.The detention center confiscated them immediately, and replaced all the toothpaste used by the prisoners from metal skins with plastic skins according to the squadron's suggestion.

One late night, there was a strong wind of force 6, and the crackling rain kept falling. The sound of wind and rain made the night not so peaceful.At this moment, Zhang Ziqiang suddenly woke up from his dream and made a move to respond to the prison robbery.Sentinel Chen Xinjian saw this situation and immediately reported to Liu Jianjun, the deputy detachment leader who came to check the sentry.The situation is the order. Deputy Captain Liu accurately sent the signal to implement the No. 2 plan. The 56 officers and soldiers stationed at the 2 and 3 points "lightning action" arrived at the predetermined location in only 2 minutes. All ready to go.Although it was just a false alarm, Liu Jianjun said that this operation proved that our guard officers and soldiers are qualified, quick-responsive, and capable of fighting. Whoever dares to rob will have zero chance of success.

During the interview, Senior Colonel Li Gongmin, chief of staff of the Armed Police Guangdong Corps, also told us that they have formulated four plans based on the situation of guards, including anti-escape, anti-attack, anti-riot, and handling power failures. Be familiar with the signal regulations in the plan, the principles and methods of dealing with the situation, and the deployment of troops, so as to ensure that if necessary, you can not panic when things happen, stay calm in battle, and fight prepared battles. For 68 sleepless nights, the armed police officers and soldiers wrote an ode to the guards of southern Guangdong with their utter loyalty and infinite loyalty to the party and the people, and handed in a qualified answer sheet.

Later, this piece of news about officers and soldiers of the Provincial Armed Police Corps guarding Hong Kong thief Zhang Ziqiang was published on December 9, 1998 in the Southern On the front page of Metropolis Daily. Since I entered the "Southern Metropolis Daily", with my unique feelings for the troops, I have formed good relationships with the Guangzhou Military Region, the Guangdong Military Region, the Armed Police Force of Guangdong Province, the Border Defense Forces, the Guangzhou Navy Base, and the provincial and municipal firefighting forces. cooperation relationship.I have collected and written nearly 200 articles (pieces) of news, and in the "Southern Metropolis Daily" alone, I have published more than 100 reports with many correspondents in the army.I have also successively conducted in-depth interviews with Wu Tianpeng (currently an officer of a certain branch of the Beijing Armed Police) and Song Rui of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Armed Police Corps, the armed police officers and soldiers stationed in the longest tunnel in Asia, and went deep into the hometown of Marshal Ye Jianying and other impoverished mountainous areas to interview the garrison there. The armed police, Huang Xiong from the Shaoguan Armed Police Detachment, and Chen Xingliang from the Meizhou Armed Police Detachment all became good friends because of the interviews.

Since I came from the Marine Brigade, it was easy to communicate with the officers and soldiers when interviewing them, and the interviews were never blocked.Because I have been engaged in cultural and educational propaganda work in the political department of the navy, and I have also written a lot of propaganda and educational learning materials for the grassroots troops, so I have a deeper understanding of which news can be reported and which should be kept secret. Journalists need to know a lot, and have steelyards in mind during interviews.And my courageous professionalism, hard-working, hard-working, down-to-earth interview style have been praised by the officers and soldiers of the army.Since joining Southern Metropolis Daily, Zhu Defu, the deputy editor in charge of the interview department at that time, entrusted me with the news task of interviewing troops stationed in Guangzhou. In May 1997, a catastrophic flood occurred in Conghua, and the officers and soldiers of the troops stationed in Guangzhou were all involved in the battle against the flood. The officers and soldiers of the Guangzhou Base of the South China Sea Fleet, the only navy stationed there, showed their dedication to the flood. The senseless revolutionary spirit that does not hesitate to sacrifice the people.I have followed the ambulance ship of our navy brothers to the scene of the flood to interview. On May 12, 1997, I cooperated with Chen Qizheng, the publicity officer of the Guangzhou base, and Jiang Zhicong, the correspondent, on the front page of the "Southern Metropolis Daily" with the title "Maritime Pioneer Fighting the Flood Iron Army", reporting on the Flood Fighting Commando of a certain naval base in Guangzhou Fighting continuously in the flood for 20 hours, rescued more than 20 people in distress from the torrent, and sent 10 tons of food to more than 3,000 trapped people. Zhu Binglie, the mayor of Conghua City at the time, praised their heroic behavior excitedly : You are not only pioneers at sea, but also an iron army fighting floods for the people. In December 1997, the People's Republic of China officially took over Hong Kong, and the first batch of our troops stationed in Hong Kong entered Hong Kong from Shenzhen.With the approval of Zhu Defu, I went to Shenzhen to interview the troops stationed in Hong Kong; in November 1997, I interviewed Qiu Ling, a female soldier of the Guangzhou Military Region who was injured by a knife-wielding gangster; Mai Xiande, an old hero of the old hero; interviewed Gong Yunchong, a hero guarding the reef in Nansha; interviewed Liu Zhiyan, a battalion-level cadre of a certain battalion-level cadre at the Guangzhou Naval Base, who lost his right hand because of bravely rescuing five rural children. " and "Southern Metropolis Daily" published his special "military salute without hands" photo. On the morning of September 19, 1988, the Xingyuan Laser Center of Guangkong Hospital and a pharmaceutical company in Jilin jointly held an academic exchange and training meeting. At that time, Yuri Rubizov, a medical expert and representative of Intel Farrer from Ukraine, When Mr. Petrovitch was giving lectures to more than 30 Chinese and foreign experts present, suddenly a dozen people claiming to be from a legal department in Guangzhou rushed in and threatened and insulted the participants present, which forced the meeting to be interrupted. was also injured.After the incident, Guangkong correspondent Nie Changjiang notified several news media in Guangzhou at that time, but it is said that due to the fact that the other party has a strong background, no one dared to interview.After I heard about it, I immediately took the intern Zuo Zhihong to go for an interview, conducted in-depth investigation and interviews, and after learning about what happened, regardless of resistance, I published the headline of the "Southern Metropolis Daily" on the next day with the headline "Mad Man". Trouble in the Air Force Hospital" as the title, exclusively disclosed this vicious incident, and was highly praised by the relevant leaders of the Guangzhou Military Region, Guangkong, and especially Guangkong Hospital. The director of Guangkong Hospital at that time even called me to express his gratitude. On October 25, 1998, I also interviewed Jin Jiangzhu, a first-class pilot of Guangkong, who was driving a fighter jet at high altitude for test flight training. When the cockpit cover suddenly exploded, the engine stopped, and the fuselage fell sharply. Regardless of personal safety, he finally flew a plane from an altitude of 14,000 meters and landed safely. On the morning of the 23rd, a regiment of the Guangkong Fighter Aviation Corps was nervously conducting high-altitude test flight training.At 9:01 in the morning, Jin Jiangzhu, the first-level pilot of the Ministry, drove the fighter plane roaring straight into the sky. At 9:11, when the plane rose to 14,000 meters in height and width, the careful Jin Hongzhu heard a "bang" sound alertly, and then, the high-pressure airflow of minus 60 degrees Celsius outside the cabin poured directly into the cockpit. The strong airflow pressed him against the back of the seat, and the accelerator he had been pushing forward was also closed back.At this time, Jin Hongzhu realized that the plane's canopy exploded and flew away!The cold, high pressure blinded him and he couldn't hear the sound in his earphones, making it impossible for him to control the plane.The out-of-control aircraft is like a runaway horse, which suddenly changes the flight status.The fuselage shook violently and fell.Jin Hongzhu, whose body was tightly pressed against the seat, knew that he was in an extremely dangerous situation. At this moment, as long as he lightly pressed the jump mechanism, he could immediately escape from the threat of death.However, he only thought of: risking his life to save the plane! At 9:12, Jin Hongzhu came to his wits in a hurry. He bent down desperately, grasped the armrest of the seat with both hands, and quickly put his head under the windshield of the front cabin.When he opened his eyes and carefully observed the cockpit instruments, he found that the engine temperature was zero, and the plane had stopped at an altitude of 14,000 meters!At this critical juncture, Jin Hongzhu held the joystick tightly with both hands, desperately controlled the plane, and tried hard to drive again.When the plane fell to an altitude of 8,000 meters, Jin Hongzhu suddenly turned on the ignition switch in the air, and the plane made a huge roar, successfully driving in the air once! At 9:14, Kim Hong-joo, the warrior who fought thrillingly in the air for 3 minutes, finally landed safely with the injured war eagle. On the morning of October 24, 1998, relevant leaders of the Air Force of the Guangzhou Military Region went to Guangkong Hospital to express their condolences to the warrior Jin Hongzhu who landed safely from a fighter plane whose cockpit cover suddenly exploded at an altitude of 14,000 meters.At the same time, relevant leaders of the Beijing Air Force also specially called to express their congratulations and condolences.After hearing the news, I rushed to Guangkong Hospital to interview Jin Hongzhu, who was undergoing examination, and carefully understood how he was rescued at an altitude of 10,000 meters and why he landed on the plane safe and sound. Jin Hongzhu told the reporter with a smile that it was the compensatory clothes that saved his life.According to him, pilots have to wear special compensatory clothing before flying.The compensatory suit is used to protect the body when the pilot flies into the high altitude to prevent the poor sealing performance of the aircraft cockpit.Because under high-altitude pressure, human blood is prone to air bubbles.The compensation suit is equipped with heating tubes, which are connected to a device on the aircraft.When an accident occurs in the canopy (such as blasting and flying off), the compensation suit will automatically supply oxygen, and after a certain level, it will automatically close.When the high air pressure invades the cockpit, the compensatory suit will be compressed in time to squeeze the human body and play a protective role.After Jin Hongzhu landed safely, he was immediately sent to the Air Force Guangzhou Hospital for a comprehensive examination. To the surprise of the doctors present, Jin Hongzhu had no physical injuries. I wrote a scoop on "Kim Hong Joo Talks about the Causes of Hair Loss--It's the Compensatory Clothes That Saved Me", put the two manuscripts together, and published them in the Southern Metropolis Daily on the next day under two different titles "superior.Afterwards, many readers called me one after another, saying that several newspapers in Guangzhou had published this matter, but the Metropolis Daily was unique and comprehensive. I have long paid attention to the various constructions of the army and many touching heroic deeds.Because of this, I have been rewarded for my dedication. From December 1997 to April 1998, after I disclosed nearly 20 consecutive follow-up reports on the crimes of security guards in Yinhe Village, Tianhe District, Guangzhou City, beating and injuring innocent citizens Li Shidong and others for eating Bawang rice, I have been threatened, intimidated, and hunted down many times. Some people openly clamored to buy my head for "300,000 yuan", and my personal safety was not guaranteed.When the officers and soldiers of the troops stationed in Guangzhou learned that my righteous actions were threatened and retaliated by gangsters, Major Tang Xiaorong from the Political Department of the Guangdong Military Region, Wu Zhigang from the Guangzhou Naval Base, and Nie Changjiang from the Propaganda Department of Guangkong Hospital Officer Liu of the Hong Kong Garrison, and Professor Mo Desheng of the Guangdong Judicial School, etc., all publicly expressed their opinions in the newspaper, strongly condemning the other party's evil deeds, and strongly supported my just act. .What moved me even more was that officers and soldiers of a certain unit of the Guangzhou Military Region who often paid attention to me, a reporter and comrade-in-arms, jointly sent a fax to Guan Jian, editor-in-chief of "Southern Metropolis Daily" after learning about my situation, saying: Because of this report , We fell in love with "Southern Metropolis Daily".Because of Mr. Ishino's bravery, we fell in love with Metropolis Daily.For a righteous reporter like Mr. Ishino, if any social scum dares to harm him, our officers and soldiers will do our best to protect him.A noble military salute to Mr. Ishino! Seeing this message of solidarity from the military camp, I couldn't help but feel emotional and excited!That afternoon, two soldiers from the armed police of Guangdong Province, who did not want to be named, bought me a large box of fruit with their very meager allowance, and sent it to the newspaper office to express their sympathy and respect to me.It is the strong support of these comrades in arms stationed in Guangzhou that made me more courageous and confident.In the end, all eight suspects were arrested and brought to justice by Tianhe police, and the murderer was punished as he should.Of course, it is precisely because of the strong support of my comrades-in-arms who are like brothers and the whole society, especially the law enforcement department in Guangzhou and strict law enforcement, those gangsters who clamored to buy my "head" did not take me away after all. It also led me to work as a political and legal reporter in the south and north for ten years, using the power of public opinion supervision to seek justice for more wronged victims and more disadvantaged groups.
