There are reasons why the revolutionary army chose to break out to the north. Firstly, the north is a mountainous area, and secondly, the chance of breaking out is greater in the north.
Kawamoto Tadahiro was in his forties and was born into a Kyoto aristocratic family. He was a well-known local scholar, but he was a generous man. He once taught at the Japanese Army University, but his true identity was the backbone of the Japanese Communist Party.
The Japanese left-wing forces first appeared in the 1920s. They were also deeply influenced by Big Brother, but they did not develop in Japan. They were suppressed by the Japanese authorities as soon as they sprouted, and most of them were sent to Hokkaido.
land.
Kawamoto Tadahiro was one of the few survivors. He was well-connected in the local military and political circles. Local forces came together to save him, but he has been idle since then.
After the rebels came to Kyoto, Kawamoto Tadahiro heard about the various policies of the rebels, and persuaded his son, who was the police chief in Kyoto, to join his family. This was set by Nobuo Yumoto as a benchmark, and he himself came forward many times to support the rebels.
The rebel army collects supplies.
After deciding to break out of the encirclement, Kawamoto Tadahiro took the initiative to express his willingness to lead the way, and then headed north with a capable revolutionary army.
The method of opening the road was quite different. There was a lot of fun eating and drinking along the way. Whether it was the chief executive of each region or the Japanese garrison divisions participating in the encirclement and suppression, they all gave great favor to Kawamoto Tadahiro.
The problem that was supposed to be solved on the battlefield was forced to be solved by Tadahiro Kawamoto at the wine table.
After Zhou Weiguo learned the news, he was quite surprised. He had to admit that he had underestimated Kawamoto Tadahiro, who had issued the military order.
After Zhou Weiguo showed up in the revolutionary army, Kawamoto Tadahiro took the initiative to find Zhou Weiguo and stated that he needed Zhou Weiguo to help him get in touch with the Communist International.
Zhou Weiguo's identity is a secret. There are many speculations about this in the revolutionary army, but at most they believe that he is a Japanese communist, because as the army reorganization progresses, Zhou Weiguo also begins to develop internal forces within the First Division. Some things are hidden.
Unable to live.
At this time, the revolutionary army was forced to move. For example, it had just passed through the Third Reconnaissance in southern Jiangxi, and the next step was to go to Jinggang Mountains, but the Soviet faction of Tadahiro Kawamoto suddenly appeared.
Although they are all Japanese Communists, they all follow different paths. Of course, the support of the Communist Party of China is needed, but there cannot be a remote-control emperor. After all, the Red Army has learned from its mistakes.
Fortunately, there was a formidable enemy at hand, and coupled with the fact that Kawamoto Tadahiro's armed forces within the revolutionary army were weak and mainly concentrated on the administrative side, the two sides temporarily suppressed their internal conflicts.
Under the command of Zhou Weiguo, more than half of the First Division jumped out of the Japanese encirclement. However, not long after, intelligence workers sent a telegram, and the Japanese military headquarters dispatched three divisions from the Kwantung Army back to China to participate in the encirclement and suppression.
"Takeshita-kun, fortunately we obeyed your command, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Nobuo Yumoto is a veteran of the Japanese army, and of course he knows the power of the Kwantung Army.
The rest of the people also seemed quite frightened and looked at Zhou Weiguo with a little respect in their eyes. At first, even Nobuo Yumoto did not want to abandon the city and move to the mountains. After all, the garrison division responsible for encirclement and suppression was unable to work hard and often gave way to the revolution.
The Japanese army released water, forcing the Japanese military headquarters to replace the garrison division responsible for encirclement and suppression.
At that time, everyone in the revolutionary army believed that the First Division was in a good situation and there was no need to move to the mountainous area, so Zhou Weiguo could only explain the interests to them.
Prestige is always established step by step, and Zhou Weiguo's control over the First Division is gradually deepening.
"Division commander, immediately send a report to the troops left behind. We still need to remind them that if nothing can be done, they can break out of the encirclement to the west. As long as they escape from the encirclement, there is always a way out!"
"Our First Division is the main force of the revolutionary army and carries the hope of the revolution. As long as one force develops, the revolution will not be considered a failure!" Zhou Weiguo quickly dismissed the idea of some people in the revolutionary army who wanted to return to the army for rescue.
extinguished.
Nobuo Yumoto heard this and nodded. The Japanese government has always been closely observing the political tendencies of all strata in the country. If it were not for the tight fighting on the front lines, how could there be a chance for the revolutionary army.
Those old aristocratic forces in Kyoto have always been the target of suppression by the Japanese high-level officials. Regardless of the reason, they rose up with the revolutionary army and were labeled as the revolutionary army in the eyes of the Japanese high-level officials. There was no room for retreat.
On that day, the revolutionary army that broke out did not continue to move north, but chose to stay where they were to rest.
The top leaders of the Revolutionary Army also held a meeting. Under Zhou Weiguo's deliberate shaping, the Revolutionary Army was mainly divided into three forces.
The most powerful one is naturally the gunman headed by Nobuo Yumoto, while Zhou Weiguo can be regarded as the "Co-Suppression International" who came to assist from China, and the weakest one is the administrative force headed by Tadahiro Kawamoto.
When the revolutionary army, the government and the army come together, it is natural that they should decide who will command whom.
The policy of "building branches in companies" had already started when the comrades of the Anti-War League went deep into the grassroots to remember the bitterness and sweetness. These comrades were all the seeds that were sown, and now it is naturally time to reap the rewards.
Nobuo Yumoto was convinced before the meeting began. He had seen the power of the Eighth Route Army in China, and naturally he wanted to build the revolutionary army into something like the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, he would not have proposed to name it the Japanese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army when reorganizing the army.
After the two discussed it, they directly proposed at the meeting that all levels of the First Division should establish branches, detachments, and squads with instructors, squadrons with instructors, and brigade and wing levels with political commissars.
The instructors of the detachments and squads are the backbones who have been developed recently. The instructors of the squadron are comrades from the Anti-War Alliance. The political commissars of the brigade and wing are 20 cadres brought by Zhou Weiguo.
Due to Nobuo Yumoto, the revolutionary army that broke out led by Zhou Weiguo currently only has the designation of the First Division. The First Regiment under its command has five brigades, and there are seven brigades from other regiments.
The brigade and wing were not yet well established, and the surplus cadres formed the staff office. Zhou Weiguo served as the general political commissar and chief of staff, Nobuo Yumoto continued to serve as the division commander, and Tadahiro Kawamoto served as the administrative counselor.
Since the preliminary work was in place and the core team chose to follow the breakout, the order to establish the branch was implemented smoothly.
The next day, the main force of the First Division of the Revolutionary Army continued to move north, but several teams were dispatched one after another. They also shouldered important missions and were responsible for traveling to various parts of Kansai to contact the rest of the Revolutionary Army and continue to consolidate and develop other base areas.
At the same time, a telegram was sent from Japan across the ocean to China.
