What makes Wang Yizhe feel confident is that the powerful 105th Division of the Northeast Army is strengthening his guards, and at his gate, the guard platoon has set up a machine gun with live ammunition, and as soon as there is movement, it can be strafed with machine guns at any time, how many dare to come to find death?

But Wang Yizhe doesn't know that the situation is changing at any time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were loopholes in the management of the brigade and regimental cadres of the 105th Division, and more importantly, since Zhang Xueliang went to Nanjing, the Shaozhuang faction spread rumors every night among the guards regiments under their control that Wang Yizhe did not save Deputy Commander Zhang, only cared about his own promotion and fortune, and was a traitor of the Northeast Army because he received a bribe of 5 million yuan from Chiang Kai-shek.

The person who spread this rumor is Shoji Aida, who goes by the pseudonym Shoda Xiang.

Not only among the officers and soldiers, but also in the entire city of Xi'an, there are such rumors everywhere, and these rumors that want to kill Wang Yizhe have been repeated over and over again.

In fact, in the Northeast Army at that time, there were still many unscrupulous people who wanted to risk their rise to the top, in this case, did Wang Yizhe still dare to be careless?

On January 27 and 28, two days passed like this, and the three musketeers who were gearing up were busy, but they did not rush to start.

On 29 January, on the issue of whether or not to implement the Tongguan Agreement, the Northeast Army held a meeting of unprecedented scale in Zhangjiabao, an eastern plateau in Weinan.

In addition to almost all the senior generals of the Northeast Army, more than 20 middle- and lower-ranking officer representatives of the Three Musketeers and the Anti-Japanese Comrades Association also attended the meeting.

This was a large-scale meeting that included the patriarchal faction and the young Zhuang faction, and it was an important meeting, and it was also a meeting for the main peace faction and the main battle faction to win more people to support themselves.

However, two people were absent from the meeting, one was Yu Xuezhong, the commander of the 51st Army, and the other was Wang Yizhe, the commander of the 67th Army.

Yu Xuezhong and his 51st Army were originally stationed in Lanzhou, and he had his own mess there, so he couldn't come to the meeting.

Needless to say, Wang Yizhe couldn't be present because of the increasingly serious pneumonia.

The two people who were absent from the meeting had a very important position in the Northeast Army.

Yu Xuezhong's character is filial piety, a native of Penglai, Shandong, he was the person designated to command the Northeast Army when Zhang Xueliang sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing, that is, Yu Xuezhong was the acting commander of the Northeast Army at this time.

And Wang Yizhe's importance is because he is a representative of the veteran faction and the most powerful figure in the Northeast Army.

Wang Yizhe was absent, and Dong Yingbin, chief of staff of the Northeast Army, presided over the meeting in his place.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chief of Staff Dong spoke in a rambling manner.

"Now the situation is very serious, Nanjing told us to withdraw the Northeast Army, move the headquarters to Pixian, withdraw the Weinan front troops to the Gaoling area, and let us go to Gansu if the plan A is implemented in the future; If the B plan is implemented, it will be driven to Anhui.

Some people advocate that we first resolutely demand that Deputy Commander Zhang come back and then obey the order to withdraw our troops, while others advocate that we should first withdraw our troops and then rescue Deputy Commander Zhang.

Whether it is to withdraw the troops first and then rescue the deputy commander, or to rescue the deputy commander Zhang first and then withdraw the troops, we must be unanimous and united, so that we can have strength!

This will be beneficial to Deputy Commander Zhang and the Northeast Army, otherwise, relying only on personal opinions, not being able to pool wisdom, and not being able to unite under unanimous opinion, will certainly only be bad to Deputy Commander Zhang and to our Northeast Army.

The purpose of today's meeting is to hope that everyone will have a good exchange of ideas and talk carefully about their ideas, so that our Northeast Army can reach a consensus of opinion, and then according to this unanimous opinion, everyone will persist in unity and work hard.

I think that only in this way can we achieve the goal of rescuing Deputy Commander Zhang and enable the Northeast Army to embark on a bright future! I would now like to give the floor one to the next. ”

At the end of Dong Yingbin's speech, He Zhuguo was the first to speak on the stage, Yu Xuezhong and Wang Yizhe were not present, and He Zhuguo was the most important military commander.

He Zhuguo said: According to the current situation, we can only accept the conditions of the central authorities to withdraw our troops first, obey the central authorities, and not become enemies of the central authorities, and the central authorities will be able to accept everyone's requests, and at that time, it will not be too late to try to ask for the release of the deputy commander.

Next, He Zhuguo explained the reason for his suggestion.

"If we refuse to withdraw our troops and insist on Deputy Commander Zhang's return, it will inevitably cause a stalemate, and further cause war, and war will be unfavorable to Deputy Commander Zhang and the Northeast Army.

Because, judging from the current situation, the Northeast Army will definitely not be able to defeat the Central Army, and once the war starts, it will be even more impossible for them to let Deputy Commander Zhang back, and after the war is over, the Northeast Army will fail, and they will not let go of Deputy Commander Zhang, and at that time, the future of the Northeast Army will be even bleaker, therefore, we should now avoid conflicts and obey the Central Committee.

Moreover, the purpose of the deputy commander in launching the Double 12 Incident was to oppose the civil war and unite against Japan, and the purpose of releasing and sending Chiang in the future was also for this purpose.

Now that we have given up war and insisted on peace, it should be said that we respect and obey the instructions of the deputy commander, and conform to the deputy commander's wish to launch the Double 12 incident.

If we mishandle this matter and civil war breaks out, the deputy commander will be in great pain, so for the sake of the interests and future of all parties, we should obey the orders of the central authorities and withdraw our troops. ”

In the end, He Zhuguo repeatedly emphasized that his words were also the meaning of Commander Wang Yizhe.

The main point of He Zhuguo's speech was that in order to rescue Deputy Commander Zhang, we must first obey the central authorities, and must not be the enemy of the central authorities; once we confront and start a war with the Central Army, the war will be unfavorable to Deputy Commander Zhang and the Northeast Army.

He Zhuguo of the veteran faction finished speaking, and Ying Detian spoke on behalf of the Shaozhuang faction.

Ying Detian's speech was very long, and the core meaning was that Zhang Xueliang would not come back, would never withdraw his troops, and would not hesitate to fight.

Ying Detian is worthy of being a top student in the United States, and his whole speech is very distinctive, he listed several key assertions as a basis, and then led to:

1. Is Deputy Commander Zhang a leader worthy of our support and love? Yes, it should be saved at all costs, and the battle will not necessarily start because of this.

2. Chiang Kai-shek's Central Committee can only try to carry out a conspiracy, that is, it is to bully the weak and fear the hard, and if you want to rescue Deputy Commander Zhang, you must not try to win the favor of Chiang Kai-shek, but can only harden up, cannot obey, can only resist, and resolutely cannot withdraw troops!

Ying Detian elaborated on these two issues.

"On the question of rescuing the deputy commander, why should the Northeast Army first and foremost take the initiative to insist? We know that the arrest of Jiang in the Xi'an Incident was mainly based on the deputy commander, supplemented by Director Yang.

After that, it was even more obvious that the deputy commander was the main leader, supplemented by Director Yang and the Communist delegation, and in the unity of the trinity, the deputy commander was also the most important central figure.

All this shows that this is not only due to the large number of military personnel in the northeast, but also because of the relationship between the deputy commander's attitude and initiative on this series of issues.

Only in this way can Director Yang of the 17th Route Army and the Communist Party delegation insist together, if the Northeast Army does not insist on rescuing the deputy commander, then how can the 17th Route Army and the Communist Party insist? ”

After explaining the importance of saving Zhang Shaoshuai, Ying Detian continued.

"Also, I don't need to say, everyone understands that Deputy Commander Zhang is the leader of our Northeast Army, not the leader of the 17th Route Army, let alone the leader of the Red Army.

Moreover, Deputy Commander Zhang and Director Yang jointly launched the incident and realized the idea of supporting Chiang Kai-shek, uniting the Communist Party, uniting the whole country, and jointly resisting Japan, which made great contributions to the country.

Such a leader not only has a great future for him worthy of our support and rescue, but also Deputy Commander Zhang has a profound and close relationship with the future of the Northeast Army, the future of the Trinity, and the future of China.

How can we not take the initiative and unite to rescue such a beloved leader? ”
