After dinner, Liu Yimin invited Ye Ting, Zhang Yunyi, and Deng Zihui to the headquarters. Using the map, he analyzed the enemy and enemy situations along the Yangtze River and the possible next actions of the Japanese army.
According to Liu Yimin's analysis, after the Japanese army ended the Battle of Nanchang and the Battle of Suizao, the Kwantung Army created conflicts with the Soviet Red Army in the Nomenhan area; the North China Front Army will definitely concentrate its forces in the second half of the year to carry out a frenzied sweep of our Eighth Route Army base areas; the next key offensive of the Japanese Army in Central China will be
The target must be Changsha, with the purpose of eliminating the main force of the Ninth War Zone and forcing the National Government to surrender; the Japanese army in South China is likely to make a fuss about our country's international supply lines, and does not rule out the possibility of launching a large-scale attack. At this time, it is time to establish the Jiangsu-Anhui Border Region
It was a great time. One cavalry brigade and four infantry brigades of the Eighth Route Army's troops moving south had already deployed in northeastern Anhui and northern Jiangsu. The next attack was aimed directly at central Jiangsu. However, considering that a large-scale battle would attract the attention of the Japanese army and lead to crazy Japanese revenge, the Eighth Route Army
In Suzhong, we will focus on attacking towns and villages outside transportation lines to create base areas.
After analyzing these situations, Liu Yimin asked the three people to sit down, asked Li Xiaoshuai to pour some water, and then said: "Commander Ye, Chief of Staff Zhang, Director Deng: You are all one of the founders of our army, especially Commander Ye.
, is one of the main founders of our army, and the Nanchang Uprising was as glorious as the sun and the moon. However, I have to say that you did not do the right thing in the Gao Jingting incident."
Ye Ting said to himself, he stopped drinking tea and sat upright, listening to what Liu Yimin would say next.
Liu Yimin's eyes swept over the faces of Ye Ting, Zhang Yunyi, and Deng Zihui one by one, and after a while he continued: "I met Comrade Gao Jingting once and had an in-depth conversation with him. This comrade committed a crime during the struggle to persist in the Dabie Mountains.
He made the mistake of expanding the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, but his mistakes were much less harmful than other leaders of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui. I pointed out his mistakes and shortcomings, and asked him to lead the army eastward and report any problems he encountered in a timely manner.
Ye, Commander Xiang asked for instructions. Finally, I replenished the four detachments with weapons, ammunition and medicines, and even allocated the old Red Army soldiers of the Guidong guerrillas who had been rescued from the Gui Army to Gao Jingting. When we parted, I told him to
Remember that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Practice has proved that Gao Jingting stood firm in the Dabie Mountains, never fell the red flag, raised the 28th Red Army, and made immortal contributions to the Chinese revolution. Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Xiang should be aware of these things.
Do you think, if Gao Jingting is really suspected of defecting to the Communist Party, will I add anything to him? This is the first one.
Secondly, Comrade Gao Jingting's revolutionary experience is there. His parents and wife were killed by the Communists, and his son disappeared. His hatred for the Communists was deeper than the sea, and he would not surrender to the Communists even if he died.
Third, the defection of Yang Kezhi, the commander of the Seventh Regiment of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and Cao Yufu, the deputy commander, are indeed bad in nature. But you must understand that Gao Jingting only has leadership responsibilities in this matter. It is not that defections have never happened in the history of our Red Army.
What about the incident? Didn’t one of the three divisions you, Commander Ye, led during the Nanchang Uprising defect, and more than one regiment of officers leave the team, and only a part of the people led by Mr. Zhu persisted? If Gao Jingting was shot because these two people defected, then you, Ye,
How should the military commander be dealt with? By analogy, Chairman Mao, Mr. Zhu, and Mr. Peng may have been dealt with long ago. Revolution is just a big wave. It is not terrible for individual people who are not determined to leave the revolutionary ranks. It is also normal and unavoidable.
Yes. Can't we use our own comrades as a scapegoat just because others have defected?
Fourth, if Comrade Gao Jingting had the motive to oppose the Central Committee and defect, how many of you could still be alive today? He would go to the designated place after receiving the order? And he would go to see you, Commander Ye and Staff Officer Zhang, unprepared.
Chief, Director Deng? Why don’t you even consider a little bit of common sense?
Fifth, your method of arresting Gao Jingting is not bright and cannot be put on the table. For a leader of this level, without conclusive evidence, even if he is to be punished, Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Xiang should represent the New Fourth Army.
The Southeast Bureau talked to him openly and pointed out his shortcomings and the direction of efforts. If it doesn't work, he can be transferred or removed from his post. If he refuses to carry out the order, he will consider taking coercive measures. What do you mean by doing this? Is it in line with the party's discipline? Let's take a step back.
, since Gao Jingting was set up and arrested, at least he must be taken back to the military headquarters for careful examination. Why was Gao Jingting executed hastily when he refused to plead guilty? Have you ever thought that Gao Jingting refused to plead guilty, which means you are creating
If he is unjust, false or wrongly convicted, the central government will vindicate him in the future. How will you clarify this matter by then? Even if it is a war era and there is no energy to investigate and deal with the truth of the Gao Jingting incident, when we win in the future, will no one complain to the central government?
?When writing your history at that time, how will you write about the death of Gao Jingting? Should you write that you killed Gao Jingting without admitting his guilt and you had no real evidence, or should you avoid this matter and not mention it at all?
You all know that Deputy Commander Xiang is the Chairman of the Southeast Bureau, the Chairman of the Military Commission of the New Fourth Army, and the de facto political commissar of the New Fourth Army. How dare you go behind his back to do such a big thing as shooting Gao Jingting? What about your organizational principles? What if it were changed?
How would you feel if someone set up a trap to arrest you?
Sixth, your establishment of the Jiangbei Command was approved by the Central Committee, which is of course correct. However, you reported to the Central Committee that there was a problem with the personnel of the Jiangbei Command. The main strength of the Jiangbei Command is the four detachments, but you did not consider allowing Gao Jingting to join Jiangbei.
Headquarters. Did you not consider this or did you do it on purpose? You know, this is a big taboo. It is an obvious move to the top of the mountain and exclude the four detachments of the Red 28th Army in the Dabie Mountains. Gao Jingting’s opinion is just a matter of sentiment.
It’s excusable. We are all the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army who came from the Red Army. To make revolution, we must engage in all corners of the country and cannot be factional. Let me tell you, the instructors were developed from the backbone units supporting the front armies. This unit is the most concentrated expression of the
All over the world. If I had also made small calculations in my heart, gathered a group, and fought a group, would the team still be as big as it is today? Would the central government still let me command this army? You must know that the current strength of the New Fourth Army is simply incompetent.
Compared with the instructors, I am far, far behind. If I have selfish thoughts, I am afraid that the central government will not let me continue to work for one second. Of course, I said this seriously, and maybe you didn’t think that much. But the consequences
The objective facts are there, and any individual can see them clearly. It's just that you dare not or are unwilling to say them due to your status within the party or the military.
Seventh, the Yangtze River Bureau and the New Fourth Army asked the four detachments to leave Dabie Shandong and march eastward in order to expand the influence of our party and our army and develop and grow behind enemy lines. This is not wrong. Gao Jingting should have followed the order. However, from the perspective of military strategy
Speaking of which, Gao Jingting’s idea of relying on the Dabie Mountains to establish an anti-Japanese base area is not wrong. The Japanese army is highly mechanized, and our army is accustomed to fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains. It is also feasible to rely on the Dabie Mountains to gradually expand eastward. The Dabie Mountains press Jianghan to the south and the Central Plains to the north.
You all know the importance of the strategic position. With the withdrawal of the four detachments, the Dabie Mountains have become the territory of the Guangxi clique. If our party and our army want to occupy the Dabie Mountains again, we don’t know how much sacrifice we have to make! The most disturbing thing is that
What is unbelievable is that the Yangtze River Bureau and the Anwei Working Committee did not know what they were thinking, but they actually mobilized so many revolutionary youths and party members to help the Guangxi clique consolidate the Dabie Mountain base. Just watch, it won't be long before they make this decision
The comrades will regret it and try to withdraw from the Gui clique forces in the Dabie Mountains, but it will be too late for them to regret it. Not many people can be evacuated. If this part of the force is strengthened to the four detachments, today's Dabie Mountains will inevitably
Our army has a place. Our army is divided into four and five detachments. One is based on the Dabie Mountains to develop western Anhui, and the other is out of central Anhui and eastern Anhui. It can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Isn't it better than the current situation where we can only stick to the plains?
Is guerrilla warfare good?
Eighth, the last thing you should do is to ask Chiang Kai-shek for instructions to execute Gao Jingting. Even if Gao Jingting made a huge mistake, it should be punished by the central government. He is a cadre of the Red Army and a banner of the Dabie Mountains. He follows Chiang Kai-shek's orders.
Execution of him is because relatives hate and enemies are happy. Not only Gao Jingting refused to accept it, but also the cadres and soldiers of the four detachments, I, Liu Yimin, and most of the Red Army soldiers did not accept it! If you had done this when Wei Lihuang was encircling the Dabie Mountains, I guess
Wei Lihuang will give you medals and bounties. Don’t believe it. I estimate that when Commander Ye returns to the military headquarters, Chiang Kai-shek’s telegram of commendation will arrive. Old Chiang Kai-shek is happy, he can’t catch people he can’t kill.
You guys helped him kill him, can he not send you a telegram of commendation? In addition, Chiang Kai-shek's explicit order to commend you also has another meaning, that is to tell my party that you killed the man yourself, and don't blame me, old Chiang Kai-shek.
If you want to take revenge on your head, you can fight among yourselves and don't interfere with me, old Chiang Kai-shek!
Ninth, you should not listen to one's beliefs. Dai Jiying and others went through the Long March and fought bravely. But you have to understand the history of the struggle in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, and understand everyone's performance in the anti-expansion of Hubei, Henan, and Anhui.
Comrade Dai Jiying was very brave in fighting, and he was also crazy in his efforts to eliminate counter-revolutionaries. After the 25th Red Army and the 7th Red Army joined forces in Xi'an, I severely criticized him and ordered him to write an inspection. Unexpectedly, he was sent back again.
Fourth detachment, do you think that based on his actions in suppressing counter-revolutionaries, Gao Jingting and the others can't be wary of him? You should listen more to Comrade Zheng Weisan's opinions on this matter, but you didn't, and you actually solved the problem between Gao Jingting and Dai Jiying
Contradictions were used as a breakthrough and Gao Jingting was executed. This is a typical case of partiality and partiality. I said you were confused, so don't be unconvinced. That's just polite. Future historical development will prove that what I said is right."
Saying so much in one breath was tantamount to verbally criticizing three people. Liu Yimin had finished venting his anger. He drank a large bowl of water, wiped his mouth, and finally said: "Commander Ye, Chief of Staff Zhang
, Director Deng, maybe what I said was too harsh, and some things were my own considerations, which may not be consistent with the facts, and I may have misunderstood you. Please forgive me."
Ye Ting sighed and said ruefully: "Speaking of forgiveness or not, it seems that things were indeed done wrong. I just thought that I was afraid of another defection incident, so I had to take measures quickly to control the troops and recover the losses. I didn't think about it.
It will cause such serious consequences. It’s too late to say anything now, and we can’t recover the losses by reporting to the central government. Alas, this matter can be done!”
When Liu Yimin heard this, he knew that he needed to dig deeper, so he said: "Commander Ye, I respect you very much, but to be honest, this matter is not as simple as you said. If you don't think deeply,
If the problem is solved, the New Fourth Army will suffer heavy losses in the future. The losses may be much greater than those caused by killing Gao Jingting. What do you think? Three of the four main detachments of the New Fourth Army were adapted from the Central Red Army, and they all belong to the three theater sequence.
Only four detachments were adapted from the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Red Army. They were Zhang Guotao's subordinates and belonged to the five theaters. Zhang Guotao is now notorious. If Gao Jingting is captured, wouldn't it be possible to completely transform the four detachments? There is another thing. Gao Jingting once and
Wang Ming quarreled at the military meeting of the Yangtze River Bureau. In the eyes of some people, this kind of normal debate on strategic issues is the following. If such a cadre does not punish him, who should he punish? Don't call me harsh, don't say all.
I don’t have this idea. I have to tell you that Zhang Guotao is Zhang Guotao, Wang Ming is Wang Ming, and our cadres and soldiers are cadres and soldiers, and they cannot be completely confused. Factional struggle and the expansion of counterrevolutionary suppression are equally terrible. Comrade brother, maybe I said
It's serious and you can't accept it. But please think about it carefully and think more about it. Did this happen by chance? We learn from each step and we need to remember a little longer."
When Zhang Yunyi and Deng Zihui read the telegrams from the Central Committee and Liu Yimin before departure, they both regretted it deeply. Now that Liu Yimin analyzed it so seriously and profoundly, both of them regretted it so much that they kept smoking with their heads down without saying a word.
.
Now that the words have come to this, Liu Yimin wants to tell the truth clearly to avoid the Wannan Incident happening again and thousands of heroes losing their lives due to wrong decisions.
Liu Yimin then said: "There is another problem, and that is the unity of the New Fourth Army. Originally, I have only participated in the revolution for a short time, and I have no right or qualification to make irresponsible remarks on Commander Ye and ***, but we are
Comrades are comrades who share life and death together. If we encounter danger together, the Central Committee will probably order me to stay behind and cover you two to break out. We ourselves may also take bullets for each other without hesitation and die for each other. In this case, I will also
I have no scruples and dare to say a few words. Commander Ye, you and Mr. Xiang are both important leaders of our party and our army. Their status and reputation within the party and the army are very high. Speaking of Ye and Xiang,
Many cadres and soldiers will consciously stand at attention and salute. One of you is a great expert in guerrilla warfare, and the other is a great expert in regular warfare. You should have been a perfect match and complement each other. But the situation is not good now. Several telegrams sent by the Chairman to the New Fourth Army have been implemented.
Not very capable. Vice Chairman of the Labor Week, Comrade Dong Biwu went to the New Fourth Army in person to do your work. This kind of thing is a spectacle in our army. Look at it, instructors aside, Political Commissar Luo and I are like one person. We are members of the 115th Division.
Lin, Nie, He and Guan of the 120th Division, Liu and Deng of the 129th Division, and Xu and Yang of the Independent Division, who don't cooperate very well? Let me tell you, nothing can be done with just one slap. Commander Ye
, you and Xiang *** should sit down and have a good talk and have a heart-to-heart talk. We are both warriors who can sacrifice everything for the revolution. We have the same goal. Is there anything that cannot be resolved through discussion? Xiang *** is not here today. I
You can't talk behind people's backs, Commander Ye, in front of you, let me give you some advice. Don't often entertain those *** officers, don't often wear suits and lead wolf dogs, and don't cheer and support them wherever you go. This is very dangerous.
It is easy to expose the target. Xiang *** may have many shortcomings, but at least he wears the same uniform as the soldiers and eats the same food. He can replenish the soldiers' uniforms and the soldiers regard him as a caring person. This is worthy of Ye Jun
I have been studying for a long time. I thought about it. Commander Ye mainly left our army after the Guangzhou Uprising. He missed the lesson of our army’s struggle during the Red Army period and still retained some of the style of the Communist generals, which easily caused comrades to misunderstand and
I dislike you and unconsciously alienate you. For example, if Commander Ye leaves the team when he is angry, that is just you, Ye Ting. If it were in my place, Liu Yimin, I would have been removed from all posts and transferred to another position if I dared to do it even once.
I went back to Xi'an for review. Don't look at the grand ceremony I made to treat everyone to dinner tonight. In fact, the fresh food from the lake was bought by the soldiers without spending a penny. Political Commissar Luo and I usually eat together with the soldiers from the guard regiment.
, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, I still have to stand guard for the soldiers and make dumplings together. I'm not bragging, I spend a lot of time correcting the soldiers' study books. There are several regiments of instructors.
I can name all the soldiers. This is the unity of officers and soldiers, fighting together to defeat the Japs and build a new China. I have said too much. I have passed. I mainly want to provide some reference opinions to Commander Ye. Please Commander Ye.
Please bear with me."
Liu Yimin was really brave. He dared to say such words to a well-known general like Ye Ting. Zhang Yunyi and Deng Zihui were frightened, fearing that Ye Ting would not be able to accept it and would start arguing with Liu Yimin.
Ye Ting really couldn't accept it. Veins popped up on his face, and he looked like he was about to get angry.
Liu Yimin ignored him, lit a cigarette, and walked to the map to study it.
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Ye Ting's voice came from behind: "Mr. Liu, Brother Liu, Ye Ting has learned a lesson today. Please accept my respect!"
Liu Yimin was so panicked that he quickly turned around and supported Ye Ting with both hands to prevent him from bowing down.
The two looked at each other for a long time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally laughed at the same time.
After laughing, the two held hands and walked to the table and sat down. Liu Yimin smiled and said: "Commander Ye, have you figured it out? Don't blame me, Meng Lang?"
Ye Ting was also laughing, but it was a bitter smile: "Hey, little brother, I suddenly became enlightened after hearing what you said. If I had met you earlier, I'm afraid I wouldn't have gone to Europe to have sex."
