The Life of Gu Xiongyi's Characters

In 1915, Gu Xiongyi entered Kangzhuang Elementary School with the support of his uncle Liu Rangxian. In 1921, he was admitted to Baoding Yude Middle School with glorious revolutionary tradition, and joined the progressive organization "Social Science Research Society", becoming the backbone of a progressive student movement.

In May p>1925, after the May 3th massacre in Shanghai, which shocked China and foreign countries, people from all walks of life in Baoding were furious. On June 3rd, Baoding Municipal Committee held a meeting in Yude Middle School, and decided to launch a massive demonstration in the whole city to support the patriotic struggle of compatriots. Gu Xiongyi and his classmate Liu Zhengang went to the dung factory on the outskirts of Baoding to mobilize workers. He poured out his passionate speech. Gu Xiongyi broke down in tears when he talked about imperialism's bullying and brutal slaughter of unarmed China people in China, which moved many workers to tears. On June 8, all schools in Baoding went on strike, and more than 6, students took to the streets to demonstrate. Gu Xiongyi led the dung factory workers to join the mighty torrent of struggle.

The darkness of the society, the injustice of the world, the corruption of the political power and the crisis of the nation once made him determined to be a national hero like Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang, galloping on the battlefield and serving the country with his own body.

In the summer of p>1925, Gu Xiongyi was selected by the Party to study in Zhangjiakou Northwest Army Cadre School. After graduation, he was assigned to the Northwest Army as a lieutenant colonel's staff officer. In the same year, he was introduced by Zhang Zhaofeng to join the China * * * Production Party. In 193, Gu Xiongyi served as the secretary of the Military Commission of Shanxi Special Committee and was sent to Pingding County to lead the mutiny.

In May, 1931, the Shanxi Special Committee held a military work conference to listen to Gu Xiongyi's report on the military movement. Gu Xiongyi said that after the end of the melee between warlords Jiang, Feng and Yan, a large number of troops were stationed in Shanxi, and their grain and all supplies were apportioned by the local authorities, which brought great disturbance and burden to the people. At the same time, the life of the soldiers in the army is very difficult, especially Feng Yuxiang, who is in the position of a guest army, eats poor rice and buckwheat and wears worn-out military uniforms. Sometimes he is not paid for three or four months, and he is often beaten and scolded by the officials. This prison-like life caused great dissatisfaction among soldiers. Rebellion struggles have occurred in Changzhi, Jiangxian, Zihongkou, Qixian and Datong. Due to the importance attached by the provincial party committee to the troop movement, the strength of the * * * Party organizations in the various warlord troops has greatly developed. There are 5 or 6 people in Gao Gui Zi Department stationed in Pingding, among whom many party member are officers at battalion, company and platoon levels.

After listening to Gu Xiongyi's report, the Special Committee pointed out: "The Party's work must be to develop comrades, organize the masses and carry out struggles under the guidance of the policy of preparing for revolutionary mutiny.". The meeting decided to pull out three regiments of Gao Gui Zi Department to form the 24th Army of the Red Army and establish a red revolutionary base area in Wutai Mountain.

In late June, just as the uprising was going on nervously and smoothly, I suddenly received an urgent report from the underground party organization of Zibu in Gao Gui, saying that Liu Yushan, the platoon leader of party member, the eighth company of the first regiment of Gaobu, was arrested and imprisoned because of a traitor in the underground party in Shanghai, and other comrades also attracted the attention of the enemy, and the air in the army was very tense. Gu Xiongyi and Liu Tianzhang, secretary of the Special Committee, and other responsible comrades of the Special Committee carefully analyzed the whole situation, estimated the strength of the troops and decided to hold a revolutionary mutiny immediately. With the consent of the Party Central Committee, the Special Committee decided that Gu Xiongyi would personally lead the uprising.

at 3 pm on July 3, 1931, Gu Xiongyi arrived in Pingding from Taiyuan. After he got off the bus, he immediately informed the underground party organization of the Ministry of Higher Education and held an emergency meeting in a graveyard outside the city. After conveying the report of the Shanxi Special Committee on the political situation, he said: "Jiangxi Red Army of Workers and Peasants crushed the enemy's first and second counter-revolutionary' encirclement and suppression' and achieved great victory. Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Zuoyou River and Northwest Soviet Area also defeated the enemy's attack. In Shanxi, due to the scuffle between warlords Jiang, Feng and Yan, the economy was depressed, the people were in poverty, and complaints were heard. The morale of Kuomintang troops was low, and the call for revolution was getting louder and louder. The Special Committee was not in a hurry to organize riots, but wanted to focus on organizing and mobilizing the masses. However, due to the sudden change of the situation, it is extremely urgent, and we must act in front of the enemy. " The comrades attending the meeting unanimously agreed to take action as soon as possible.

On July 4th, 1931, Gao Guizi, the enemy commander, and his three heads, Wang Ziyi, Gao Jianbai and Liu Jieshan, left for Beiping to celebrate Gao's father's birthday, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity for the uprising. In the evening, Gu Xiongyi continued to preside over a meeting, conveying the action plan of the uprising in Gaobu approved by the Shanxi Special Committee at the request of the CPC Central Committee, and decided to start at 12 o'clock that night, making specific arrangements and specific division of labor for the uprising. Also, considering that if the uprising fails and is surrounded by the enemy, it can break out along the tunnel already dug at the foot of the southeast city wall.

at 1 o'clock that night, under the command of Gu Xiongyi and He Guang, the first regiment of Gao Gui Zi Department held an armed uprising ahead of schedule after destroying the resistance of some reactionary officers, and fought fiercely for half an hour to capture the county government. More than 1,1 people from seven companies who participated in the uprising quickly withdrew from the city, bypassed Yangquan and went north to rest in Qingcheng, Meng County.

On July 5th, 1931, the uprising troops assembled in a wide field outside the village. Amid warm applause and cheers, Gu Xiongyi, on behalf of the Shanxi Special Committee, solemnly announced that with the approval of the CPC Central Committee, the 24th Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army was formally established today. At the same time, it was announced that He Guang was appointed as the army commander, Gu Xiongyi (then called Su Yixiong) as the political commissar, Liu Mingde as the chief of staff and Liu Zixiang as the director of the political department. The troops were temporarily organized into two regiments.

considering that there are heavy enemy troops stationed around Pingding, it is difficult to stand on its feet for a long time. After a little rectification, the uprising troops headed for Fuping, which is surrounded by mountains. On July 18, 1931, it passed through Pingshan, Lingshou and other counties and entered Fuping County. At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it repelled the interception of more than 3 peace preservation corps in Fuping and came to Shahetan in Nanguan, the county seat.

Before the arrival of the Red Army, the Baoding Special Committee of China had sent people to Fuping County to meet them according to the instructions of the Northern Bureau. On the Shahetan, Gu Xiongyi made a mobilization speech. He said: When troops enter the city, they should be disciplined strictly, buy and sell, and must not disturb the people. In line with the revolutionary program, they should mobilize the masses and carry out struggles.

Fuping County is located on the north bank of Dasha River, surrounded by rolling mountains, with more than 5 families. It is a bustling mountain city with merchants and abundant materials. Under the melee of warlords and the cruel exploitation and plunder of landlords and gentry, the people in Fuping county were hungry and cold, and suffered a lot. Since 1929, the Central Party Organization has started to carry out revolutionary work here, and successively established the Party branches in Chengguan and Chengnanzhuang, which has a good mass base. After listening to the introduction of the local party organization, the comrades in the military headquarters of the 24th Red Army decided, after careful study, that while being ready to fight against the enemy at any time, they should focus on mobilizing the masses and establishing the Soviet regime. Gu Xiongyi is in charge of this work.

The next day, under the specific leadership of Gu Xiongyi, the Red Army launched a big publicity campaign. Notices stamped with the red seal of the Red Army and leaflets with red and green slogans were posted all over the streets of the city. The officers and men of the Red Army enthusiastically helped the masses to carry water and cut firewood and clean the streets and courtyards. At the same time, convene a mass meeting to publicize the opening of the warehouse and release the grain. Comrade Gu Xiongyi made an exciting speech at the meeting and said, "Folks, do you know whose food this is? It belongs to you farmers! It was bought by the poor with blood and sweat! Our Red Army of Workers and Peasants is a revolutionary army led by the * * * production party, and it is for the poor to conquer the world. We will return the grain you have worked so hard to grow to you. In the future, we will divide the land equally and realize that the tiller has land. "

amid warm applause, gu xiongyi led the masses to open warehouses and distribute grain. At that time, Tianjin Yishi Daily wrote this way when reporting on the grain distribution: "This time, there were about 2, people who got the grain. Generally, the poor people were oppressed by life, and they were all anxious before they feared. When they heard the news of grain distribution, they all helped the old and brought the young to the city. In three days, more than 3 stones of Gu Mi were stored in the city's library, and they were exhausted at one stroke. The masses rejoiced and cheered in unison: our savior has arrived! " .

The Red Army also opened the prison and released all the prisoners. As soon as Gu Xiong saw people walking out of the prison gate in high spirits, he stood on a stone and said loudly, "Folks, we poor people should unite and wipe out the landlord class, the dark system of exploitation and oppression by others, and build a * * * capitalist society through joint efforts." Everyone is equal and free, with food and clothing. To this end, we must unite to make a revolution. Revolution is everyone's business, and hundreds or thousands of people are not enough. When Sun Yat-sen led the Revolution of 1911, the people of the whole country got up and the Qing government was overthrown. " At this point, he suddenly waved his fist and shouted, "Please come to the Red Army if you want to make a revolution." His words gave people great encouragement, and many young men rushed to the front together, scrambling to sign up for the army.

Gu Xiongyi has done a lot of detailed work in political construction. On July 26, 1931, with the masses basically mobilized, after several days of brewing, the Fuping County Committee and the Red 24th Army decided to jointly convene the inaugural meeting of the Soviet government. After the conference began, Gu Xiongyi spoke first. He called on everyone to unite and be their own masters. The meeting announced the formal establishment of the Soviet government in Fuping County. Revolutionary mass organizations, such as farmers' associations, small businessmen's associations and anti-rape groups, have been established one after another, and Fuping County is full of steaming new scenes.

In order to consolidate the revolutionary achievements and carry out the resolution of the Soviet government, the Red Army and the Soviet government sent people to the villages around the county town to conduct land surveys, and prepared to mobilize the masses to divide the land, so as to truly realize land for the tiller. The party's policies are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Red Army and the Soviet government have been warmly supported by the people.

At this time, Shi Yousan's plan to cooperate with the warlords of Guangdong and Guangxi in the war against Chiang Kai-shek failed, and the whole army was wiped out in Hengshui, Hebei Province. The remaining Shen Ke surrendered and was ordered to be stationed in Quyang, Hebei Province for adaptation. Shen Ke was originally the headquarters of Wu Peifu, a northern warlord. He was treacherous, cunning and very dangerous. In order to show his contribution to the Kuomintang government, he set up a deadly trap. The police station belonged to the 27th Brigade, which traveled from Quyang to Wangkuai Village in Fuping, claiming to surrender to the Red Army, and sent representatives to formally contact the 14th Army of the Red Army and put forward the request for accommodation and adaptation.

Gu Xiongyi, He Guang and other leading comrades of the Red Army had a meeting to study this matter. Some comrades had raised doubts about Shen Ke's motivation to surrender, but most comrades thought that Shen Ke's department was an army with a miscellaneous brand, and its master Shi Yousan had lost. They had no choice but to go to the Red Army and take part in the revolution.

On August 1th, 1931, Gu Xiongyi led more than 2 cadres and people to Wangkuai Village, the resident of Shenke Department, with cattle, sheep and flour. Unexpectedly, all of them were captured after entering the village.

The day after Gu Xiongyi was captured, he was sent to the Military Law Office of the Commander of the Army, Navy and Air Force in Peiping. Gao Guizi, the enemy commander, learned of Gu Xiongyi's capture and went to Peiping to find Zhang Xueliang himself, shouting, "If you don't kill Su Yixiong (that is, Gu Xiongyi), it's hard to understand my hatred!"

In prison, facing the threat of the enemy, Gu Xiongyi was upright and upright, calm, laughing and playing chess with his friends who were in trouble. As in the past, he showed the fearless heroism of the * * * producers, and even the guards had to admit that he was "good" and "backbone".

Soon, the enemy announced that Gu Xiongyi was sentenced to death. One day in August, 1931, Gu Xiongyi and six other comrades boarded the criminal vehicle with their heads held high, fearless, facing the enemy's butcher's knife and shouting "Long live the China Productive Party!" "Long live the Red Army of Chinese Workers and Peasants!" Heroic sacrifice in Beiping Xizhimen outside the moat. At the age of 26.
