Dong Ping's words were very direct, but he almost didn't tell Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin that if you all died, could the anti-Japanese flag in South Manchuria still be fought? A commander can be cultivated, and soldiers can be cadres from the grassroots.

But a leader, in addition to innate reasons, needs to be tempered for a long time. [.Com text] If the selection of a commander is one of a thousand, then a qualified leader, a
The commander-in-chief is one who can be chosen from thousands of miles, or even a hundred thousand miles. The difference between a marshal and a general is not just who has won more battles.
You two are the top leaders of the Anti-Japanese War in South Manchuria. At least for now, no one can be found to replace you. If South Manchuria loses you and loses its top leader, then this so-called flag will
How much longer can we fight? There are really two questions.
Temporary transfer in order to preserve strength does not mean permanent abandonment, let alone escape. Only by preserving yourself can you better eliminate the enemy. If you are eliminated, how can you talk about resisting Japan and saving the country?
Yang Jingyu and Wei Zhengmin understood Dong Ping's words and listened to them. After a long silence and they looked at each other, Wei Zhengmin made up his mind and said: "Okay, according to your deputy commander's opinion, the two of us will all go north.
It’s not just us. Except for the Second Front Army, which was left to hold on, all the existing troops of the First Army went north to rest and recuperate.”
Although Yang Jingyu neither objected nor agreed to Wei Zhengmin's decision, his next words were regarded as acquiescence: "Old Wei, let's keep one of the troops. Cao Yafan has rich combat experience and is resourceful and flexible.
.The combat effectiveness of the front army is the strongest among the two already formed front armies. Besides?"
Although Yang Jingyu did not finish what he said, Wei Zhengmin understood what he meant. Both of them knew that staying might mean starving and not having enough food and clothing for several days under the heavy suppression of Japanese and puppet troops.
The entire army was destroyed. Although retreating northward was still risky, with the outstanding command skills of the two men, they were almost certain to escape safely.
Although the command of the First Army was transferred from the Second Army, the basic troops were formed by Yang Jingyu's old subordinates. The once strong First Army failed in the Western Expedition, and after the First Division surrendered to the enemy with Cheng Bin, the only remaining Second Division
Adapted. Regarding the First Army, Yang Jingyu knew everything about it. Although there were only more than 200 people, they were all experienced veterans.
Although the number of the Second Front Army is now larger than that of the First Army, the Second Front Army, which was adapted from the Sixth Division of the Second Army, is mainly composed of Korean comrades, and its commanders are also from North Korea. If they are left behind, they can easily be exploited by people with ulterior motives, and even
He took advantage of the loophole to divide the relationship between the two front armies.
Moreover, the Fifth Division, which used to have the strongest fighting capacity in the Second Army and currently has the largest number of troops, is no longer there. The Fourth Division was actually defeated under the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops, and the remaining divisions were incorporated into the guard brigade.
The Sixth Division, which is currently the only remaining fighting force in the Second Army, was originally in the middle of the pack. Its actual combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the First Army, which was reorganized from the Second Division of the First Army. If they are left behind, it may be difficult to persist for a long time.
But Wei Zhengmin was somewhat hesitant about leaving the First Army behind. The more than 200 people left in the First Army were founded by Yang Jingyu. At its peak, the number of people in the First Anti-Japanese Army had reached 4,000.
of flesh and blood.
Now that the situation in South Manchuria is so dangerous, if the weak First Front Army is left behind, what if something changes? From the end of last year to now, the First Army has been playing the leading role in the overall anti-Japanese situation in South Manchuria. Almost all of it is the First Army.
All the most difficult tasks are undertaken by one army.
After nearly half a year of hard fighting, the First Army, which suffered heavy casualties, must not lose what little flesh and blood it has left. Compared with the First Army, even if the Second Front Army really cannot escape the fate of the entire army being destroyed, the Second Army in Northern Manchuria still has
With a strength of three to four hundred men, it was also the fifth division with the strongest combat effectiveness in the original Second Army.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhengmin gritted his teeth and said: "Switch the command of the first and second front armies. Cao Yafan will stay and command the second front army and stay. The first front army will be commanded by the original second front army and will be co-organized with the headquarters guard brigade to follow the headquarters northward.
"
At this point, Wei Zhengmin waved his hand to stop Yang Jingyu who wanted to speak and said: "Old Yang, I understand what you think. But the First Army is the only remaining flesh and blood of the First Army, and it is the anti-Japanese flag of the entire South Manchuria. Only
We must not lose this small amount of troops so easily."
"Cao Yafan was the political commissar of the Sixth Division of the Second Army before he was transferred to the position of commander of the Second Division. The Second Front Army was mainly reorganized from the Sixth Division. There will definitely be no inconvenience if he takes over the command. I am the Provincial Party Committee Secretary of Southern Manchuria, and I have the final say.
The right to decide, this matter is settled."
Seeing Wei Zhengmin rarely speak out about his organizational connections, Yang Jingyu, who was familiar with his character and knew that he had made up his mind, shook his head but did not object again.
Seeing that the two top leaders of the First Army had finally completed their arrangements, Dong Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He solemnly handed over the map with the detailed location of Lao Heidingzi's secret camp that Yang Zhen had given him before leaving.
was handed over to the headquarters of the First Army.
Yang Jingyu, who had heard Wei Zhengmin talk about the usefulness of this map and knew that it was an escape route prepared for him by the commander-in-chief of the Second Front Army, after carefully looking at the map, Yang Jingyu held Dong Ping's hand tightly.
He held his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, Deputy Commander Yang, for thinking so comprehensively about the First Army. Thank you so much. With these supplies, after the main force withdraws north, at least the remaining troops will not starve and freeze. There is also a
A place where you can put your feet down and take a breath.”
Dong Ping, whose hand was grabbed by Yang Jingyu, blushed a little when he heard the Commander-in-Chief of the First Route Army thanking him repeatedly: "Commander-in-Chief Yang, don't be too grateful. We are all fighting for a common ideal. If we have difficulties,
Everyone should help each other. If you thank me, don’t mention it again in the future.”
Having said this, Dong Ping hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Please Commander-in-Chief Yang and Political Commissar Wei summon the troops as soon as possible, so that we can set off as soon as possible. Once the Japanese and puppet troops notice our movements, we will be passive when we take action."
The Japanese will not leave us much time."
In response to Dong Ping's urging words, Yang Jingyu quickly agreed: "No problem. The First Front Army is now resting in the secret camp in the east of Huadian. The Second Front Army is active in Antu and Fusong. On the one hand, we are moving closer to the First Front Army, and on the other hand, we are moving closer to the First Front Army.
The front sent people to look for the Second Front Army and asked them to meet up in the eastern mountains of Huadian. If everything goes well, they can arrive in about three days."
After saying that, Yang Jingyu took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter, then turned around and summoned a combat staff officer: "Ding Shoulong, you immediately take the Young Iron Blood Team to Antu and Fusong to look for the Second Front Army. Find them.
After that, give them this letter and tell them that the political commissar and I ordered them to move closer to the front army as quickly as possible."
"Remember, this letter is extremely important. No matter what price you pay, you must deliver this letter to the Second Front Army and hand it to Lu Boqi, Director of the Golden Command and Political Department of the Second Front Army."
Just after Ding Shoulong put the letter away, gathered his troops and turned around to set off, he was stopped by Dong Ping, who was carrying five submachine guns and a box of grenades.
Dong Ping handed several submachine guns, full bullet bags, and a whole box of Japanese hand grenades that had been improved by his own arsenal to Ding Shoulong and said: "These portable machine guns are made by ourselves. Although the range is a bit shorter, the
The power is still good. It is very suitable for encounters with Japanese soldiers in the mountains."
Then Dong Ping took off the personal grenade from his neck, showed how to use it, and handed it to Ding Shoulong, saying: "This is a special gas grenade produced by our arsenal. If you are surrounded by the Japanese army,
, with no hope of breaking out, after covering his nose and mouth with a towel wet with water, he pulled out the safety catch and threw it out."
"Remember, this kind of grenade must not be used lightly except as a last resort. It is too powerful and can not only hurt the enemy, but also easily hurt yourself. You must keep this grenade close to your body and never hand it over.
Give it to someone else. If that person is curious and calls him, you will be the unlucky one."
Under Wei Zhengmin's nod, Ding Shoulong took the inconspicuous grenade handed over by Dong Ping, which was not much bigger than an egg. He gave Dong Ping a strange look, but didn't say anything. What happened to him?
I also didn’t see that this grenade, which looked a bit like a shrunken Japanese grenade, had any abnormality, would be so powerful.
Ding Shoulong, who had no idea about the real purpose of this grenade, which was not much bigger than an egg. Although he was a little curious, under Dong Ping's gaze, he kept the grenade close to his body and used it as he said.
He waved his hand and signaled to the Young Iron-Blooded Team who had assembled behind him to take over the weapons handed over by Dong Ping.
Looking at the young iron-blooded team members over there, under the guidance of Dong Ping's subordinates, they were quickly familiarizing themselves with the weapon they had never seen before. Wei Zhengmin, who knew what Dong Ping handed Ding Shoulong, did not speak, but
He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Seeing the strange look on the political commissar's face, Yang Jingyu knew that there must be something strange in what Dong Ping handed to Wei Zhengmin. After Ding Shoulong set off, he immediately asked if the thing was really a gas bomb. Because he understood that even if the Second Route Army had an arsenal, it would still have to be
It is said that you can make simple guns and reload bullets and that's about it.
He didn't believe that even poison gas bombs could be made to kill Yang Jingyu, because he didn't see Dong Ping or any of his subordinates carrying gas masks. If they really carried gas grenades, then
If they march without gas masks, aren't they looking for death? And they keep them close to their bodies?
Moreover, he also saw that more than one person was wearing this small grenade that could be tied around the neck without affecting any movement. Almost every one of Dong Ping's subordinates had special sewing on their necks or bodies, almost all over their bodies.
The pockets on the arms of the military uniforms all have the same thing hidden in them. If this thing is really as powerful as that guy said, there is no need to carry so many.
When Yang Jingyu learned from Wei Zhengmin that the grenade Dong Ping handed over to Ding Shoulong was indeed just an ordinary one. Except that it only took 0.8 seconds from pulling the string to exploding, it was no different from other grenades currently in use.
After realizing the real purpose of the grenade, Dong Ping just shook his head and did not get angry as he imagined.
After a long silence, Yang Jingyu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late. He stood up and said to Wei Zhengmin and Dong Ping beside him: "Let's set off. There is still a long way to go." After that, he no longer looked at Dong Ping.
After a quick glance, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the southeast in a bad mood.
He had seen Zhang Xiufeng's brutal methods when interrogating these Second Route Army men before, and he knew that in the hearts of these people, the starting point of everything was to complete the mission. As for everything else, including policies.
Such things are not considered by them.
As far as Yang Jingyu knew, although Zhang Xiufeng had rebelled, he was still a tough guy. But under their interrogation methods, which in his opinion were inferior to the brutal interrogation methods of the little devils, he persisted for even three minutes.
He told me in detail how he rebelled and betrayed those secrets.
Even when I was on a reconnaissance mission in Dunhua County, I met Cheng Bin by chance and was lured into rebellion by him. I even told how many brothels I had visited and how many prostitutes I had visited. I almost didn’t explain how I was intimately involved with those prostitutes.
During the physical fight, he confessed how long he lasted.
Although Dong Ping's subordinates deliberately avoided everyone at the First Army Headquarters during the interrogation, Zhang Xiufeng's screams, which were hardly human, could not avoid anyone present.
Listening to the piercing screams, seeing Zhang Xiufeng being dragged out after the confession, all his fingers broken off one by one, Zhang Xiufeng, who could no longer stand up in just three minutes, went from the First Army Headquarters to the Guard Brigade.
Almost all the cadres and soldiers kept a distance from people like Dong Ping.
Looking at Yang Jingyu, who seemed a little silent, Dong Ping wanted to explain something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He just waved his hand to indicate that his troops were divided into two parts, and one part took over from the troops led by the First Route Army Guard Brigade Commander Fang Zhensheng.
More than a dozen people served as the vanguard, and the rest were responsible for the post-breakout containment mission.
The reason why Dong Ping did not explain was that in his opinion, after the mutiny of the guard platoon leader who should be the most caring thing happened, everything else must be done with caution.
The deputy commander-in-chief explained that his mission was to protect the commander-in-chief of the First Army and the political commissar to safely arrive at the headquarters of the Second Route Army at Xingshan Fortress. Then all possible dangers to his mission must be suppressed.
Even if the methods used are disgraceful, everything must be focused on completing the mission. As for the leaders of the First Army and the cadres and soldiers below, the thoughts of the soldiers are not at all considered by him.
On the way to the eastern mountainous area of Huadian, in addition to Fang Zhensheng, who approached him to learn something after hearing his political commissar's account of the previous battle, and Han Renhezhi, who had seen their methods for a long time and was no longer surprised.
In addition, almost everyone in the First Army adopted a respectful attitude towards Dong Ping and his men.
Dong Ping didn't care about the attitude of the people in the First Army towards him. While watching the surrounding environment vigilantly, he maintained contact with the vanguard platoon. At the same time, he dealt with the questions of Fang Zhensheng and Han Renhe. Others glanced at them from time to time.
Their eyes, to him, were as if he hadn't seen them.
