When Liu Yimin went to the pharmaceutical factory to develop streptomycin, it was the time when our army in northern Jiangsu launched the Battle of Caodian, eliminated the main force of Han Deqin, and won the decisive battle of Huangqiao.
Liu Yimin once led his army to the south of Jiangsu and Anhui twice, created the Jiangsu-Anhui border base area, built the Northeast Anhui garrison brigade with all Japanese equipment and a large number of local armed forces, and left behind the three main forces of the New Third Brigade, the New Seventh Brigade, and the Northern Jiangsu Detachment.
The troops were placed under the command of Liu and Chen. The strength of our army in the Jiangsu and Anhui regions is much stronger than in history. The Jiangsu and Anhui Border Regions
The base area is also much larger and more consolidated than at this time in history. Moreover, when Liu Yimin left the Jiangsu-Anhui border area, he repeatedly warned Liu and Chen to unite with Han Deqin's department to persist in the resistance against Japan, and also warned Han Deqin not to hate relatives.
We should unite and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to jointly create a new situation in the Jiangsu and Anhui regions against Japan.
When Liu Yimin thought about it, history had changed so much. Han Deqin should be able to see clearly that he was no match for our army in northern Jiangsu. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to attack our army. The premise of the Caodian Battle no longer existed.
, then he went to the laboratory of a pharmaceutical factory and devoted himself to developing streptomycin, plague vaccine, and cholera vaccine, which were vital to life and death.
What Liu Yimin didn't expect was that our army in Jiangsu and Anhui had grown stronger, and Han Deqin's department had also recovered its strength when our army was fighting the Japanese army with all its strength. Han Deqin was another person who only had Chairman Chiang in his eyes.
Chairman Chiang obeyed his orders
, we will fight whoever Chairman Chiang orders. Moreover, since the Yu Xuezhong Department of the Sulu War Zone left Shandong and retreated to the Henan-Anhui Border Region, it insisted on relying on the Dabie Mountain troops of the Fifth War Zone to rely on each other, strengthening the Communist Party's military strength in the Henan-Anhui Border Region.
, which largely restrained the New Fourth
Peng Xuefeng's troops of the fifth detachment of the army and Zhang Aiping's northeastern Anhui garrison brigade, which supported each other with Peng Xuefeng's troops. In addition, when the Japanese army encircled our army in Shandong with heavy troops, they used surprise attacks to sweep away northern Jiangsu. The strength of our army in northern Jiangsu was damaged. Han Delin thought that*
*On the border of Henan and Anhui
The strength of the area has been greatly strengthened, but the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu were forced to jump out of the base area for mobile operations under the attack of the Japanese army. Their strength was weakened, and the opportunity came to seize the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and restore the Jiangsu Provincial Government's rule over northern Jiangsu.
In view of the fact that the Communist Party of China failed to capture Xi'an in the first massacre, the decision-makers of the National Government were worried about the development and growth of the Communist Party of China and its army, and were eager to limit the development of the Communist Party of China. In July, when the Japanese army besieged central and southern Shandong with heavy troops
When the Eighth Route Army was the main force, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi, the chief and deputy chiefs of staff of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, initiated a "Central Prompt Case." In this prompt case, He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi proposed withdrawing
The Hebei-Cha War Zone was abolished, and the defense areas and armed forces of the former Hebei-Cha War Zone were unified under the command of the Second War Zone; the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Democratic Special Zone was abolished and the Shaanxi Provincial Government was restored; the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were reorganized into three armies, eight divisions, and 100,000 people, with a limit of one
Within the month, all the troops will be concentrated in the two provinces of Hebei and Chacha, as well as western and northern Shandong. From then on, they will not be allowed to fight across the border; all local governments that have developed independently will be abolished, and the local armed forces will be unified and returned to the second theater for reorganization and training.
The Liu Yimin Department of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong had previously been revoked as an instructor by the Military Commission and ordered to return to Shaanxi to form a local security force to undertake river defense tasks. Liu Yimin's refusal to carry out the Military Commission's order to withdraw to Shaanxi was tantamount to rebelling. According to common sense
, should be strengthened
It was a pity that the main force of the Japanese army was beyond the reach of Liu Yimin's department. Liu Yimin's department also made great achievements in battle and was able to contain the main force of the Japanese army. Chief of General Staff He and Deputy Chief of General Staff Bai were particularly merciful and specially designated Luxi in the reminder case.
, Lubei serves as the defense area of ​​Liu Yimin's department.
The intention of this reminder is extremely sinister. It is to massively downsize the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, completely abolish the local political power established by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and turn the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army into a field army without a base, without roots. Therefore, it has been criticized.
Of course I refused.
However, the message conveyed by He and Bai's "Central Prompt Case" is very clear, that is, the Kuomintang and the National Government are resolute in solving the issue of alien parties and have consistent policies. This provides the basis for the second ****
.
At this time, it happened that the main force of a detachment of the New Fourth Army crossed the river and headed north. After escaping the Japanese sweep and regaining control of Rugao and Jiangyan, Han Deqin's troops of Chen Yuntai immediately intercepted a detachment of the New Fourth Army heading north by force. They were all troops with guns in their hands. Chen Yuntai
If we take the initiative to attack, we can't let a team of the New Fourth Army stand still and be Chen Yuntai's target, right? The two sides will exchange fire in the Jiangyan and Huangqiao areas. Think about that
How could Chen Yuntai be the opponent of Su Yu, the first general in history to found a country? Chen Yuntai, who was fully equipped and had 20,000 to 30,000 people, was defeated by Su Yu with less and more, and lost Jiang Yan and Huangqiao. That's it,
It was Su Yu who stood for unity in the war of resistance and did not kill Chen Yuntai's troops, nor did he intend to expand the victory. Otherwise, he might have invited Chen Yuntai to Su Yu's headquarters for tea.
After this battle, in order to unite Han Deqin and Chen Yuntai to fight against the Japanese, Liu and Chen instructed Su Yu and Guan Wenwei to abandon Jiangyan and establish a base in the Huangqiao area.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the Kuomintang Central Committee has the support of the policy of preventing the Communist Party, limiting the Communist Party, and dissolving the Communist Party. What is the spirit of Bai's "Central Prompt Case" to resolutely restrict the development of the Communist Party? The Li Pinxian Department of the Fifth War Zone and the Yu Xuezhong Department of the Sulu War Zone support and contain it.
Liu Yimin's unit of the Shandong Eighth Route Army was fighting another fierce battle with the Japanese army and had no time to take into account the situation in northern Jiangsu. Han Delin, who had been shrinking in northern Jiangsu after the Xuzhou battle, finally took action.
Objectively speaking, Han Deqin did it as a last resort.
The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army established bases behind enemy lines and built anti-Japanese democratic regimes in order to lead the people behind enemy lines to persist in the war of resistance. But in the eyes of the Kuomintang, this was destroying national unity and violating government and military orders. According to the point of view in an article written by a reporter from the Central News Agency
, that is*
* is building a state within a state, using the Anti-Japanese War to massively expand its power, and destroying the national unity that was finally formed after the Northern Expedition. As the chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, Han Deqin, of course has the responsibility to defend the country, and of course he must fight without his consent.
The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army established base areas.
These guys completely ignored the fact that the base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were recaptured from the Japanese army after a bloody battle. They were a typical Empress Dowager Cixi's mentality of "preferring to be with outsiders rather than domestic slaves."
Han Deqin knew well that the New Third Brigade and the New Seventh Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in northern Jiangsu were the main forces of the Shandong Eighth Route Army and could not be offended. He remembered the lessons of the Tanggou Incident very clearly. However, Guan Wenwei's troops who came north from the south of the Yangtze River were local anti-Japanese forces.
Wu
They are pretending to be part of the first brigade of the New Fourth Army, and they are using Jiang Kang's name to scare people. Guan Wenwei's department and Liu Yimin's department belong to different systems, and they dare not attack the New Third Brigade and the New Seventh Brigade of Liu Yimin's department, which does not mean that they cannot fight the first force of the New Fourth Army.
!
Han Deqin concentrated his main force on Huangqiao, hoping to wipe out the New Fourth Army, which only had seven or eight thousand people. As a result, Han Deqin dispatched more troops than in history and suffered a more miserable defeat. If it were not for the purpose of uniting in the war of resistance, Liu might have
, Chen will take advantage of the opportunity to completely eliminate all Han Delqin's armed forces in northern Jiangsu.
In fact, our army had no choice but to launch the decisive battle at Huangqiao. At this time, the New Fourth Army headquarters was still in the southern Anhui area, and Liu and Chen were fighting Han Deqin in northern Jiangsu. This was likely to cause the Kuomintang to retaliate against the New Fourth Army headquarters and the main force in southern Anhui.
attack.item
The British once sent a report to the Central Committee, asking for instructions whether they could wait until the New Fourth Army headquarters crossed the Yangtze River to move north before launching a campaign against Han Deqin. Unfortunately, Han Deqin wanted to fight, and our army had to fight. At the same time, due to the Linyi Incident of Liu Yimin's troops
In successful self-defense, eliminate
The main force of Zhang Liyuan was destroyed, the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wu was severely damaged, and the Sulu Theater was driven away. The Shanxi Eighth Route Army captured Zhu Huaibing alive in the anti-friction campaign. In the Shanxi Incident, the main force of the Shanxi New Army was successfully incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, and the Japanese opposition was defeated.
Shaanxi based
After the ground attack, no further action was seen from Chiang Kai-shek. The central government made a misjudgment, thinking that if Han Deqin took the initiative to attack, Chiang Kai-shek would not do anything to the New Fourth Army headquarters in southern Anhui. The decisive battle of Huangqiao took place under such circumstances.
.
Due to Liu Yimin's efforts, the conflicts between Ye Ting and Xiang Ying of the New Fourth Army over command were significantly alleviated. Xiang Ying himself also thought clearly about the issue of the New Fourth Army headquarters in southern Anhui crossing the river and heading north. However, both the central government and Liu Yimin were demanding it.
The New Fourth Army headquarters moved north as quickly as possible, crossing the Yangtze River and heading north to direct the development of the Jiangsu-Anhui border base areas in the north of the Yangtze River. There was no explicit order to completely abandon the New Fourth Army's base areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiang Ying was also waiting for the final order from the central government.
As soon as the decisive battle at Huangqiao ended, Chiang Kai-shek instructed He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi to send a report in the name of the Military Commission to Zhu and Peng of the Eighth Route Army and Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army on October 9, saying that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were attacking friendly forces in central China and were breaking the news.
He refused to unite in the war of resistance, and said that if other units were replaced, they would be decisively solved by force. Taking into account the special situation of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army south of the Yellow River were ordered to move to the north of the Yellow River within a month.
Han Deqin was justified in attacking the New Fourth Army, but the New Fourth Army was guilty of self-defense and counterattack. Han Deqin was justified in hiding in a corner of northern Jiangsu Province, but the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army resolutely resisted Japan and were guilty of opening up bases behind enemy lines! How could the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army implement such military orders and government orders?
But He and Bai's telegrams were actually ultimatums. The central government attached great importance to them, and after careful study, they responded to He and Bai, truthfully refuting the Kuomintang's slander of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and politely refused to withdraw the Central China Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to the north of the Yellow River.
request. However, in order to maintain unity in the war of resistance, the central government agreed to move the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui to the north of the Yangtze River.
To be honest, from a strategic perspective, the central government must take into account the safety of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui and implement a northward withdrawal, but it is not willing to give up the strategic fulcrum of southern Anhui and wants to solve the problem through negotiations.
This is why Cai Zhong told Liu Yimin that the Central Committee was engaged in a war of words with Chiang Kai-shek.
On November 14, because the Central China Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army failed to carry out the order to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River issued in the name of the Military Commission within a month, the Military Commission immediately formulated the "Plan to Suppress the Bandits South of the Yellow River" and the "Plan to Suppress the Bandits South of the Yellow River".
Plan for Solving the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan".
Among them, the "plan to exterminate the bandits south of the Yellow River" is actually a lie. The main force of Liu Yimin's department is also fighting south of the Yellow River. Let's try to let the police solve it?
To be precise, due to Liu Yimin's appearance, Chiang Kai-shek did not blow up Huayuankou and the Yellow River did not change its course. The Military Commission's plan should be to deal with the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army south of Longhai Road.
Seeing that the Communist Party was bent on resolving disputes through negotiations and delaying the withdrawal of troops, Chiang Kai-shek could not wait any longer. On December 7, two months after the victory in the decisive battle of Huangqiao, he secretly issued the Military Commission's combat plan and ordered the Third Theater Command
Before the end of January 1941, the troops completely eliminated the New Fourth Army in Jiangnan and marched into northern Jiangsu to eliminate the enemy.
Destroy the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek transferred the Tang Enbo Department of the Mobile Corps directly under the Central Military Commission, which had just completed the Zaoyi Battle, to eastern Henan to cooperate with the Li Pinxian Department of the Fifth Theater in the Dabie Mountains and the Yu Xuezhong Department of the Sulu Theater.
, concentrated more than 200,000 troops to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army south of Longhai Road.
The sword has been unsheathed here, but He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi still pretended to send a report to Zhu and Peng of the Eighth Route Army and Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army on December 8, urging the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River before December 31, pretending to be like
individual tone
Just like a good person who resolves conflicts and disputes. Immediately afterwards, Chiang Kai-shek once again gave an order to the commander of the Third War Zone Gu Zhutong on December 10, pointing out that if the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui still did not move north before December 31, it should be resolved immediately and no longer tolerated.
Gu Zhutong immediately mobilized 7 divisions with more than 80,000 troops, appointed Shangguan Yunxiang, commander-in-chief of the 31st Group Army, as the former enemy commander-in-chief, and set up ambush positions in Maolin and Jingxian areas in southern Anhui.
The reason why Gu Zhutong and Shangguan Yunxiang set up ambush positions south of the New Fourth Army headquarters was because the Kuomintang newspapers kept reporting that the New Fourth Army was about to move north. The Japanese army had blocked the New Fourth Army's northward Yangtze River defense line, and the New Fourth Army wanted to cross the river north through the Tongling area.
It is impossible to go up. The Japanese army will destroy the main force of the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui who is trying to cross the river and go north.
Since then, the Third War Zone has formed a large net against the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui. Just waiting for Ye Ting and Xiang Ying to lead their troops to jump into the trap.
The intelligence reached the central government, which realized the seriousness of the problem. It immediately instructed the military and civilians in all base areas to mobilize urgently to be wary of the Kuomintang's die-hard attacks. It also sent several telegrams to order the New Fourth Army in southern Anhui to move north quickly and must be fully mobilized before the end of December.
At this time, Ye and Xiang also realized the seriousness of the problem and determined to carry out the central government's order to cross the river and go north. However, the investigation showed that the road going north from Tongling was blocked by the Japanese army. The New Fourth Army headquarters had been operating in southern Anhui for a long time, and the logistics organization was huge.
, it does not mean that it can be transferred immediately. After several meetings, the transfer route cannot be determined. This will waste time.
The New Fourth Army in southern Anhui is in danger!
At this time, Liu Yimin, secretary of the Shandong Bureau of the Communist Party of China, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and the legendary hero of our army, completed the development of streptomycin, plague vaccine, and cholera vaccine. He returned to the Dadian Military Region Headquarters and listened to Luo Ronghuan and Cai Zhong.
After a brief introduction, Cai Zhong eagerly asked Cai Zhong to bring in the recent calls from the central government and began to read them carefully.
