Under Yang Zhenshu's repeated tricks, Li Yanping's complaint meeting was quite successful. [.Com text] not only successfully won most of the prisoners of the puppet Manchukuo army to join the army, but also successfully dug up a big fish and caught
A Puppet Manchukuo Colonel and Chief of Staff of the Brigade.
These puppet Manchukuo officers, especially the chief of staff who was a brigade commander from the old Northeastern Army, were subjected to strict and detailed interrogation, relying on the fact that the top adviser to the Japanese army stationed in the brigade was his own teacher from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School as a back-up, especially the one Guo Dachun said.
Afterwards, Yang Zhen and Li Yanping jointly signed the execution document, and all of them were executed.
This grievance meeting not only made most of the captured ordinary Puppet Manchukuo soldiers volunteer to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, it also spread it through the mouths of the Puppet Manchukuo military and police personnel who found various reasons not to stay, giving those Puppet Manchukuo traitors the ultimate blow.
Big shock. Although everything has a good side, it often has some negative effects.
As expected, Yang Zhen was right. The commander-in-chief was extremely angry that Yang Zhen executed the captured puppet Manchukuo army officers above the company level, including some squad and platoon level officers, especially a brigade chief of staff, without asking for permission.
It's just that in this matter, out of the maintenance of Yang Zhen's prestige, as the commander-in-chief's old subordinates, Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu concealed it from the commander-in-chief. As for the rest of the cadres and soldiers, not to mention the old backbone who have been following Yang Zhen
, even those who came from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, out of hatred for the traitors, worked hard to help conceal it.
When the commander-in-chief rushed over after receiving the report from his guards, he only saw the corpses of a dozen puppet Manchukuo officers on the ground who had been picked with bayonets. Yang Zhen would not part with precious bullets for these traitors.
The commander-in-chief pointed at the corpses on the ground and said angrily to Yang Zhen and Li Yanping: "What are you doing? Do you still want the party's policies? Do you still want discipline? You are not bandits, you are revolutionary soldiers."
Do you know how passive your efforts to win over fake personnel will be in the future?"
After the collective criticism, the commander-in-chief called names one by one. The first person to be named was Yang Zhen. The commander-in-chief, who knew his old subordinates Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu very well, knew that they did not have the courage to execute prisoners without asking for permission.
.I am afraid that the only one who made this decision was the bold young leader in front of me.
"Commander Yang, you are good at killing prisoners. Is this what you learned from the Party Central Committee? Is this how our Party Central Committee conducts its work against the enemy? I don't believe that our party's prisoner policy is like this?"
"You are someone who has worked for the Central Committee, no matter what the reason is for you to come to the Northeast. But do you know that although you were just an ordinary grassroots cadre before, in the hearts of many anti-union soldiers, what you did
You represent the Party Central Committee. Do you know what impact this will have on them?"
Seeing that the commander-in-chief was the first to point his gun at Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, who was originally preparing to explain, breathed a sigh of relief: "The commander-in-chief is still a sensible person and knows who did this." He was just glad to return.
Fortunately, Li Yanping still had to find a way to defend Yang Zhen to the commander-in-chief.
But before Li Yanping, who was racking his brains to think of how to defend Yang Zhen, could think of a way, he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief who had criticized Yang Zhen would target him again: "And you, Li Yanping, you are
You are a veteran party member and a senior cadre of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. You don’t know our policy of fighting against the enemy. Who gave you the courage to do this?"
"You are his political commissar. Why don't you stop him when he makes a mistake? He is young and energetic, and you are also young and energetic? Is this the level of your political commissar? Is this how you work? If so, I want you as a political commissar.
What else is there for?"
"And you, Wang Guangyu, you are an old subordinate of mine and a former divisional political commissar. You are also the only one among the five of you who has truly served as a senior political cadre. If something like this happens, why don't you stop it?
They, and you help them hide it together? Where have you learned your policy?"
Among Yang Zhen's command team, except for Guo Bingxun, who was not a party member and was from a friendly army, the commander-in-chief had some taboos and did not criticize, and Peng Dingjie, who was not present because he stayed in the secret camp, the other three were all named and severely criticized by the commander-in-chief.
Read it again.
In response to the commander-in-chief's anger, Yang Zhen acted like an ostrich and didn't respond at all. Instead, he turned his attention to the red-faced Li Yanping who was being reprimanded by the commander-in-chief. He pursed his lips and motioned for him to explain.
Seeing Yang Zhen's signal, Li Yanping could only smile bitterly. He knew the commander-in-chief's character very well, but he did not dare to explain it when the commander-in-chief was angry. Even though the commander-in-chief's words were serious, he
He was a little worried that Yang Zhen wouldn't be able to accept it. But he really didn't have the courage to persuade him at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and wait for the commander-in-chief's anger to subside before speaking out the words he had discussed with Yang Zhen.
In fact, Yang Zhen was not angry at the somewhat harsh criticism from the Commander-in-Chief. On the contrary, he was very happy. The Commander-in-Chief’s blunt criticism in person showed that the Commander-in-Chief is an upright person and would not say anything behind his back if he had anything to say.
.
No matter whether you regard him as a real superior or a nominal superior, having such a superior is always much better than those who specialize in making small moves behind the scenes, who are always on the line, who are not good at fighting, but are very good at making small moves.
, and much safer. At least when you are fighting in the front, you don’t have to worry about someone behind you doing something wrong.
No wonder later generations know the history. Although the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army is not the most reputable among the Anti-Alliance Third Route Army, he is far more highly regarded within the army, especially among the Second Route Army, than the Third Route Army.
The few people in the Route Army who claim to be experts on Marxism-Leninism are much taller and more popular. There are also the least political struggles in the Second Route Army. Having such a superior will always make people feel more at ease.
After listening to Li Yanping's explanation, the commander-in-chief's gloomy face, although still very gloomy, has improved a lot. After his face softened, the commander-in-chief also knew that his tone was a bit harsh. He was originally worried about Yang Zhen's young and energetic attitude.
, unable to accept criticism of oneself.
I just didn't expect that after being criticized, Yang Zhen neither showed that he could not accept it nor that he had a deep understanding of the serious mistakes he had made. Instead, he showed a proud look.
.
Looking at Yang Zhen who looked triumphant after being criticized, the commander-in-chief, whose anger had calmed down a bit, almost didn't fly into a rage. If Li Yanping hadn't given him a gentle tug next to him, I'm afraid Yang Zhen would have
He had to be criticized again. It was the first time that Yang Zhen, at least in the Second Route Army, could make the commander-in-chief, who was gentle, always calm, and rarely angry, angry like this.
Seeing that his criticism did not have much effect on this guy, and it was difficult to criticize any more, the commander-in-chief, who always wanted to save some face for the young general, had no choice but to point at Yang Zhen with a wry smile and said: "You
This guy can fight well, but you are quite thick-skinned."
"Your ideas are good, but I don't agree with the methods you adopt. Since the main leaders of your regiment have reached a unified opinion on this matter, I will not pursue it any further. You are still young, and according to your abilities, you will be able to
Go further. Regardless of whether I can see you when you take up the position of a senior general or not. But I still have some advice that you should remember."
"Whether you think these advices are the advice of a veteran soldier, an old party member, or the kindness of a big brother, I hope you can remember him."
"The fight against the enemy is an extremely complicated matter that cannot be solved by killing alone. You are a military commander and the military chief of the army. What you do must play a good role for the following.
To serve as an example and take the lead, we cannot rely solely on our own whims. We must consider other aspects in everything we do, especially our work against the enemy. Unfortunately, you have become a department that works against the enemy."
"If everyone were to work against the enemy like you, I'm afraid you would have killed all the people you want to win over. Because unfortunately, those who are qualified to be fought over by you are all within the scope of your execution."
"As a senior commander, you must be calm under any circumstances. Only by being calm and considering things more comprehensively can you be more comprehensive. In many cases, relying solely on military means cannot solve all problems. For those puppet military and political personnel
, as long as it’s not a heinous crime, we should try our best to fight for it. You know the party’s current policies better than I do. I hope you can have more time to study it.”
At this point, the commander-in-chief sighed and said: "I have decided to select the director of the political department of the third division of the fifth army and a regiment political commissar to go to Shandong and Hebei in search of the Party Central Committee according to the method you mentioned. I hope this
Don’t let us down again.”
Yang Zhen still listened to the commander-in-chief's advice. He still knew that killing was not the only way to solve the problem. But Yang Zhen always believed that with the current severe situation in Northeast China, he must not deal with those traitors who were in trouble.
Soft-handed.
If you want to break the enemy's strict rule and gain the environment needed for your troops to survive, you can only take severe illness and take strong medicine. But these words, now spoken by the commander-in-chief, may be another lecture. After hesitating, Yang
Zhen still swallowed back the words that had reached his lips. He was somewhat dissatisfied, but Yang Zhen still looked very humble on his face.
Seeing Yang Zhen's humbly accepting attitude, the commander-in-chief shook his head. He didn't know how much Yang Zhen would listen to his advice. However, he did not pursue the matter further.
However, after receiving the interrogation records of the puppet Manchukuo military and political personnel, the commander-in-chief's face turned ugly. After receiving the confessions of the prisoners of the Japanese Eighth Regiment who participated in the clearing of the Xiajiang area, the commander-in-chief's face changed from ugly to ugly.
Turned to Tie Qing.
From the results of the interrogation of the Japanese and puppet troops, the commander-in-chief knew that except for a very small number of troops left by his Second Route Army in the Xiajiang area who hid in the mountains and old forests and continued to fight, the rest of the troops except for a few were captured and surrendered to the enemy.
Most of them died.
The Seventh Army, as well as the few remnants of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army that had withdrawn to Fujin and Tongjiang areas, after suffering heavy losses, were already being chased and intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops who had an absolute advantage, and could almost be said to be in a desperate situation.
Since the failure of the Western Expedition, the whereabouts of the commander of the Fifth Army, who had been out of contact, and some of the troops under his leadership were also verified from the mouths of these prisoners. They were pursued by the Japanese and puppet troops and could not escape the pursuit.
As a result, they had no choice but to cross the river and retreat into the Soviet Union for temporary refuge.
In order to break the suppression of the Japanese and puppet troops, the main force of the Third Route Army, which also carried out the Western Expedition, also suffered heavy losses. Although the losses were less than those of the Second Route Army, they were also in trouble. Although the Western Expedition achieved partial success, it also suffered heavy losses.
It failed to completely get the Third Route Army out of trouble. Instead, it suffered heavy losses during the Western Expedition due to cold and hunger.
Although the Third Route Army, which was relatively stronger in strength, avoided the huge losses suffered by the Second Route Army during the Western Expedition, its total strength dropped sharply from more than 2,000 before the Western Expedition to less than 800. Many division cadres died.
Within a short period of time, the ability to fight continuously was lost. The losses of the troops left behind were even more severe. Two division commanders mutinied one after another, causing hundreds of troops of the Third Route Army who stayed behind Xiajiang to die. The few surviving troops were forced to retreat.
into the Soviet Union.
Now facing the remnants of the Second Route Army, headed by the Seventh Army, which retreated to the Fujin and Tongjiang areas, they faced an extremely serious situation of being short of food and ammunition, without supplies, and without friendly forces to support them. All of them died in battle.
, or find another way out to give the troops at least some rest time, has almost become the most difficult choice for the commander-in-chief.
Unexpectedly, the situation would change so drastically that the Second Route Army and the Third Route Army operating in northern Manchuria were defeated one after another. In addition to some units of the Third Route Army retreating to the Heinen area, several anti-alliance armies originally operating in the Xiajiang area
Most of them died, some rebelled, and only a small number of troops retreated to the Soviet Union. It can be said that the anti-Japanese struggle in the Xiajiang area was close to failure.
Although I have always wanted to know the situation of the Third Route Army and have been looking for the lost troops of the Fifth Army, when I learned from the enemy that I wanted to know everything about the commander-in-chief, due to the rapid deterioration of the situation, I suddenly became old.
many.
Yang Zhen, who had read the interrogation records, was naturally aware of the change in the Commander-in-Chief's expression. But now that the matter was at this point, and with no direct contact with the Seventh Army, Yang Zhen was unable to deal with the difficulties faced by the Seventh Army.
.He was even more helpless about the difficulties faced by the Third Route Army.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to the Commander-in-Chief, who had suddenly aged by more than ten years: "Commander-in-Chief, it's time to make up your mind."
The commander-in-chief who had had a long conversation with Yang Zhen naturally knew what resolution Yang Zhen was talking about. But this resolution was really difficult for the commander-in-chief to make.
After hesitating for a long time, the commander-in-chief shook his head decisively and said: "If they withdraw across the river, you will really become alone in the entire lower river area. It is difficult to support a lonely tree. They left the lower river area, although their strength was greatly reduced.
, but it is still a support for you. It can at least attract some of the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops."
Having said this, the commander-in-chief raised his head, looked at Yang Zhen expectantly and said: "Xiao Yang, this is the first time I call you this. I know you have a lot of clever ideas. Today I am not speaking in the name of the commander-in-chief, I am just a person."
As an ordinary veteran of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I would like to ask you, do you have any solution to the plight of the Seventh Army?"
Although he couldn't bear the desire for the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen finally shook his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I understand what you said. I also know what will be waiting for us after the Seventh Army withdraws?"
"But Commander-in-Chief, we are really beyond our reach now and can do nothing. If the Seventh Army can persist for another half year, the situation may be improved. But now time waits for no one, and the situation of the Seventh Army waits for no one. If we persist, we will not have to wait for days.
The puppet army encircled and suppressed them, and even though they were freezing and hungry, the Seventh Army was frozen to pieces."
"Even if we attack, we can attract some Japanese and puppet troops, but our strength is limited after all. Even if we are covered in iron, how many nails can we drive? How many more Japanese puppet troops can we attract with more than 100,000 Japanese troops in Northern Manchuria? Besides, the Japanese army
We are still increasing our troops so far.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the Commander-in-Chief, who was expecting but extremely disappointed. He gritted his teeth and said: "Commander-in-Chief, don't be too disappointed. There is nothing we can do. I promise you, as long as seven
The army can still hold on for half a year, no, as long as three to five months. I will try my best to find ways to restore the anti-Japanese situation in the Xiajiang area. But what I need now is time."
