After Yang Zhen finished speaking, Guo Bingxun and Peng Dingjie, who had been insisting on opposing, fell silent. [.Com text] These two people did not understand what Yang Zhen said. But they were not at ease about Yang Zhen's safety.
If something unexpected happened to Yang Zhen while he was here, neither of them could imagine what kind of ending this unit would have without a strong leader. Since the Japanese germ warfare experimental base emerged, Yang Zhen
With his outstanding performance, he conquered almost everyone here. It can be said that Yang Zhen has become the backbone of this army at this time.
If Yang Zhen is left as the backbone, it can only be said to be a disaster for the nascent army. For safety reasons, and also out of consideration for the future of this army, both of them oppose Yang Zhen's return.
Once in Weihe County.
After a long silence, Peng Dingjie said first: "Lao Yang, since you have decided to suspend training and prepare to go out to support the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I feel that it is not suitable for you to leave the army as the commander-in-chief at this time. In this way, you stay here to train the army.
, be prepared before the attack. I will go to Weihe County."
After saying that, Peng Dingjie waved his hand to signal Yang Zhen, who was about to open his mouth, to stop talking first and let himself finish what he said. Then he said: "Old Yang, the reason why I did this is because I have my own thoughts."
"Our three armies of the Anti-Alliance were established on the basis of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Zhuhe. Both Weihe and Zhuhe are old base areas for the three armies of the Anti-Alliance. I am familiar with the situation here than you are.
"
"When I was in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I was in charge of a secret transportation station. I still have some connections in the underground party in Weihe. It can be more convenient for me to inquire about the situation, and I can also find ways to raise some urgently needed supplies through the underground party.
.”
"And I'm relatively familiar with the situation in Weihe. If something happens, I can hide on the spot. So Lao Yang, I think it's more appropriate for me to go."
Peng Dingjie's idea made Yang Zhen hesitate. Indeed, Peng Dingjie, who had fought and lived in Weihe County, was more suitable than himself for going to Weihe County for reconnaissance. Is it just him?
Seeing that Yang Zhen was hesitant, Peng Dingjie smiled and said: "Old Yang is fine. I often ran for traffic when I was in the Anti-Alliance Army. Aren't there more Japs in Harbin than in Weihe County? Didn't I come back safely that time?"
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Zhen finally nodded and said: "Okay, you go. But you have to be more careful in everything. If something cannot be done, withdraw immediately."
"This time there is a big traitor in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. This Song Yifu holds a high position. He is the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Jidong and the director of the Political Department of the Fifth Army. He should be very clear about the details of the underground party in Weihe."
"If he rebels, he will not fail to tell everything he knows. I'm afraid that the underground party in Weihe County has been destroyed by the Japanese at this time. You'd better try not to contact them. We will figure out a solution for the supplies."
"It's okay. Song Yifu is the Secretary of the Jidong Provincial Party Committee and a member of the Second Route Army. However, Weihe's underground party is under the leadership of the Beiman Provincial Party Committee and has no superior-subordinate relationship with the Second Route Army. However, he is in
It is impossible for a high-ranking official to say that he does not know the situation of the underground party in Northern Manchuria at all. But he certainly does not know the details of the underground organization in Weihe. Our party's underground work has strict discipline."
Peng Dingjie didn't pay much attention to Yang Zhen's worries. Underground parties usually have a single line of communication between superiors and subordinates. Usually, the specific identities of subordinates, especially those who are engaged in confidential work, are not very clear except for their direct superiors.
"
"This is also the main reason why some party members lost contact with the organization after their superiors died. Although many party members were separated because of this, and although a traitor sometimes destroyed an entire city's underground organization. But in the harsh struggle, in order to
This is necessary to protect the safety of underground party members.
Watching Peng Dingjie, who was disguised as a fur trader, disappear at the edge of the jungle under the protection of Li Mingrui and Liu Laogen, who has now been renamed Liu Qisheng. Yang Zhen, who had been sending them to the mountain pass, recalled what Peng Dingjie said to himself and himself before leaving.
What Guo Bingxun said was a sigh: "Yes, the battle is about to begin, this unit should have a name."
But when Yang Zhen recalled Peng Dingjie's words when he was leaving, he smiled bitterly: "Although Lao Peng has never mentioned joining the Anti-Alliance since that day, he has never given up the idea of crossing Jiang and joining the Anti-Alliance himself.
He is still a little impatient."
However, after careful consideration over the past few days, Yang Zhen has changed his mind from making plans after getting in touch with the central government, and now he will not join in order to avoid being taken advantage of by his neighbor in the north.
Although he changed his mind, Yang Zhen, who knew that the resistance force of the anti-alliance alliance was not strong at this time, decided to maintain the independence of the army for the time being.
Without him, in the opinion of Yang Zhen, who was familiar with "history books", the Anti-Japanese League in Northern Manchuria was too influenced by the man who was sitting in Moscow. Although he did not have the ability to strategize in the tent and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, he preferred to give blind orders.
Not to mention anything else, an instruction to postpone the anti-household merger struggle almost caused the Anti-Japanese Alliance to lose contact with all the people.
Being cut off from direct contact with the people meant that the Anti-League lost all supplies and could even be said to have lost the basis for survival. Without the support of the people, the Anti-League quickly fell into trouble, which was what they needed to survive.
The most basic food can also be seized from the enemy. In the face of superior enemy forces, many times it is often necessary to pay a high price, and it may not be possible to obtain supplies that will last for a long time.
In Yang Zhen's view, apart from the huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves and other factors, the failure of this struggle to return villages and merge households was the most fatal factor in the eventual decline of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Without a rear, there would be no support for the people.
For support, even a bite of food has to be exchanged for human life. How can the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which itself has a weak foundation, withstand such a torment?
And if I want to open up the situation, build an anti-Japanese iron army, and expel the Japanese invaders, I must act according to my own ideas. I'm afraid this will be difficult to accept by that gentleman, let alone the North Manchuria Provincial Committee.
That man is not the master of mobile warfare and the founding leader of the People's Republic of China who is in Yan'an at this time. He doesn't have much ability, but he can be regarded as a leader in troublemaking. What's more, there is another famous figure beside him who he knows in later generations. Yang Zhenke
I don't want to die in a daze, and I don't want my troops to be wasted like their prodigal son.
Although most of the reasons Yang Zhen told Peng Dingjie for not joining the Anti-Japanese War were his true meanings, there was one most fundamental reason that he did not say. For him, he wanted to be under the leadership of the founding leader.
Go down and fight against the Japanese, not the North Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, which is constantly fighting internal strife, and not just follow the blind orders of that guy in Moscow.
It’s just that Yang Zhen didn’t know that the man he was most taboo on had returned to China last year to serve as secretary of his Yangtze River Bureau. At this time, there was no heavyweight in Moscow who could command the overall situation. At this time, the Anti-Japanese Alliance
It is the party that has lost all direct ties.
As for the reason why Yang Zhen changed his original decision so quickly, the main reason was that the environment was too dangerous. From the newspapers collected from Huang Dali these days, coupled with the memories of the "history books" read by later generations, Yang Zhen discovered that today's
The situation is far worse than I imagined.
At this time, the number of the Kwantung Army, which was at its peak, had reached hundreds of thousands, and it was still being transferred in to form new divisions. In addition, the Puppet Manchukuo Army, whose quantity and quality were constantly rising, became more and more difficult for itself and its opponents.
The already huge disparity in strength is still widening.
Although we know that the Anti-Japanese Alliance has entered its most difficult moment since the beginning of this year. After the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops and some mistakes in their own decision-making, their strength has declined extremely quickly. But there is a friendly force that can cooperate with them and even contain some of them.
The Japanese army will be of great help to both the troops and their future actions.
Returning to the secret camp, Yang Zhen found Guo Bingxun and said, "Lao Guo, how do you feel about what Lao Peng said before he left?"
"I think Lao Peng's idea is good. I heard Lao Peng say that the anti-alliance forces generally act alone. Even if we join the anti-alliance, there will be no constraints on our command."
"I think we can act in the name of the Anti-League first, and then find another way out after the situation opens up. Is it easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree? With the cooperation of the Anti-League, our actions will be much more convenient.
Lao Peng is from the Anti-Japanese War, so he should have no problem communicating."
"But Lao Yang, you have to be mentally prepared. I heard that a few hundred people in the Anti-Japanese Alliance can form an army. With our current number of people, I heard that there are enough people in the Anti-Japanese Alliance to form an army. Here we are.
Then we will call you Yang Junzuo." Hearing Yang Zhen mention it, Guo Bingxun thought about it and agreed with Peng Dingjie's meaning.
At the end, Guo Bingxun made a small joke. But this joke once again showed that he recognized Yang Zhen's status as the leader of this unit.
After listening to Guo Bingxun's thoughts, Yang Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said: "It's okay to borrow the name of the Anti-League for the time being. However, we can cooperate with them in fighting, but we must not completely obey their commands. At least after receiving the instructions from our Party Central Committee
Before receiving orders, we must at least maintain independence in activities.”
"Besides, we don't have that many people, so what can we do with such a large organization? Part of the reason why the Anti-Japanese Alliance has such a large organization is because its composition is too complex. Many of them are the remnants of the mountain forest team and other anti-Japanese forces.
.In order to appease these people, the army's establishment can only be expanded. Our army is very simple and there is no need to build such a large establishment."
"My idea is that we can temporarily form an independent guerrilla detachment at the regiment level. The detachment has two battalion-level brigades, and each brigade is organized into three squadrons."
"We don't want to set up too many higher-level establishments, and try to enrich the grassroots units with as many soldiers as possible. We basically have no heavy weapons, only some heavy machine guns. I can see that in addition to these two brigades, these heavy machine guns can be organized into
A detachment heavy machine gun company, plus a cavalry communications company and a baggage company based on the existing dozens of pack horses."
"As for the selection of cadres, I think you and I will serve as the two captains first. After the troops have gained experience from fighting in several battles, we will select our replacements."
"Yes. But Lao Yang, I studied as a staff officer and have been serving as a staff officer in the Sichuan Army. I have never directly commanded the troops. I am worried that my lack of ability will cause unnecessary losses to the troops."
"Lao Yang, I think it is better to wait for Lao Peng to come back and let him serve as the captain of the brigade. It is more suitable for me to be your chief of staff. Although Lao Peng is not an adjutant, he also served as a grassroots officer in the Anti-Japanese League. In terms of leading troops,
His experience is much richer than mine.”
Guo Bingxun had no objection to Yang Zhen's thoughts on the formation of the army. However, he was a little hesitant when he heard that Yang Zhen was planning to let him serve as the captain of a brigade concurrently.
In response to Guo Bingxun's words, Yang Zhen hesitated slightly, but said firmly: "No, you will take the post concurrently. Lao Peng serves as the political commissar and director of the political department of the detachment. In addition to providing ideological education to the troops, he also has to take care of logistics.
Supply, he will not be the commander of the army."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun frowned slightly and said, "Are you going to install political workers in our army?" Judging from Guo Bingxun's expression, he obviously did not have a good impression of political workers.
Looking at Guo Bingxun's expression, Yang Zhen said with certainty: "Yes, I want to set up political workers in our army according to the practice of my previous army. Lao Guo, the situation we will face in the future will definitely be extremely difficult.
We are fighting in this environment, and we cannot do it without strong ideological work."
"You often say that you admire how our Red Army was not defeated, starved, or dragged down in such a difficult environment during the Long March. How can this army do this without strong political and ideological work?"
"Lao Guo, the political workers in our army are not the spies in the ** army who specialize in surveillance and division in the local army. I know that your ** officers generally have no good impressions of those people, but our party
Political workers and them are two different things."
"Although the Anti-Japanese Alliance has lost contact with our Party Central Committee for many years, it is still the party's army. Even if we only borrow a name, they will inevitably send political workers into it. Although our army is newly formed, the backbone is
We lived and died together in a prisoner of war camp and the Japanese germ warfare experimental base. We are already very familiar with each other. If a new person comes, I am worried that it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"Lao Peng is from the Anti-Japanese League. By letting him serve as political commissar, we can not only strengthen the ideological work of the army, but also make the Anti-Japanese League accept it. We will not send us additional political workers to avoid unnecessary suspicion."
"Lao Guo, I know that professional soldiers like you don't like political workers, especially for you no-name troops who have suffered a lot from political workers in the military. But Lao Guo, have you ever considered our current situation?
"
"We were a hodgepodge before. Although we all lived in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and lived and died together in the Japanese bacterial warfare experimental base, have we really integrated together? We have people from the Sichuan Army here, and some from Guangxi.
Army, as well as the Northwest Army and the Eighteenth Army, plus Lao Peng, a person from the Anti-Japanese War, what is it if it’s not a hodgepodge?”
"Years of civil war have created deep estrangements between us people. Even if we have lived and died together, have we fully trusted each other? The environment we will face in the future will be much more dangerous. Without a strong political
It will be difficult for us to persevere in ideological work."
"Lao Guo, our Red Army can persevere in such a difficult environment, and this political work is indispensable. The environment we are in now is no better than the Red Army during the Long March, and it will even be more dangerous. In this
Under such circumstances, if we want to build an anti-Japanese iron army, it is inevitable and necessary to establish an effective set of political and ideological work."
Regarding Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun was silent for a long time before saying with confusion in his eyes: "Old Yang, I don't know if it's right or wrong to learn from your practices, but I always feel that your troops can survive surrounded by strong enemies.
Even after suffering a serious setback, he can quickly recover. He must have his own unique method."
"Lao Peng and I also had a lot of discussions in our spare time during this period about the environment we are in now and the difficulties we may encounter in the future. Lao Peng once told me about his life and fighting experience in the Anti-Japanese War.
"
"Hearing his experiences, I felt that although we were fighting against Japanese invaders, the situation here was much more dangerous than inside the pass. We are basically in a situation where we have no rear operations, even ammunition, food, and supplies, including the most basic
We must obtain military uniforms and all supplies from the enemy. We cannot even get support from the people."
"On the battlefield inside the pass, although there is intrigue among the various factions of the **, at critical moments, after all, there is support from friendly forces. Although the **'s combat effectiveness and equipment are far behind those of the Japanese, at least they still have an advantage in terms of numbers.
of."
