Chapter 0290 - Polar Opposite
General Wang Yizhe's mourning hall was still being arranged, and as soon as Vice Chairman Zhou stepped into the house, he personally helped decorate the mourning hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After the mourning hall was arranged, Vice Chairman Zhou led the CPC delegation from the courtyard of Wang Yizhe's house to slowly re-enter the mourning hall, offer sacrifices, and bow deeply three times to the statue of Wang Yizhe.
Vice Chairman Zhou stood in front of Wang Yizhe's coffin, quietly staring at the portrait of General Wang Yizhe, and burst into tears.
After the condolences, Vice Chairman Zhou told the choked Mrs. Wang about General Wang Yizhe's merits and deep feelings with the CCP.
The CCP delegation was the first to come to mourn General Wang Yizhe, so that Wang Yizhe's family and the upper echelons of the Northeast Army alleviated their misunderstanding of the CCP, and also helped to resolve the hostility of the officers and men of the Northeast Army to the CCP because of the misdeeds of the Three Musketeers of the Shaozhuang faction.
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which had just moved to Yan'an for about a month, also received the news of Wang Yizhe's murder later, and Mao Weiren and Commander-in-Chief Zhu immediately called Wang Yizhe's family and honored Wang Yizhe as the leader of the patriotic people:
"Mr. Ding Fang was killed, and I was very sad. Mr. Ding Fang worked the anti-Japanese national united front, not only as a cadre of the country and the nation, but also as a leader of the patriotic people. This time, he presided over peace and strived for reunification, but he saw evil in the face of a small number of elements who disregarded the overall situation and died with his own life. The military and civilians of the Soviet region mourned in unison! ā
After the Chinese Communist delegation finished its condolences, it returned to the station and immediately began to retreat according to Vice Chairman Zhou's plan, and most of the personnel retreated to the Red Army garrison in Yunyang Town.
Vice Chairman Zhou, Chief of Staff Ye, Li Kenong, An Zhida and others stayed.
After dark, Xiao Feng, commander of the special service company of the headquarters, quietly arrived at the residence of the Chinese Communist delegation with a platoon of Red Army soldiers, dressed in civilian clothes.
Although Xiao Feng is only 22 years old this year, he is already a veteran Red Army soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time; he joined the army in the Jiangxi Central Soviet Region at the age of 17, participated in the Fourth and Fifth Anti-Encirclement and Suppression and the 25,000-mile Long March of the Central Red Army, and was transferred to the Central Security Bureau at the end of last year to serve as a company commander.
Xiao Feng can not only use a gun with both hands and hit every shot, but also has a very flexible mind, when he was in the Jiangxi Soviet District, he was responsible for arresting a number of enemy elements.
Xiao Feng arrived at the delegation's residence and immediately came to Li Kenong's room, at this time, Li Kenong was discussing with An Zhida and the two of them, how to catch the Japanese spies in Xi'an.
"Report to the chief, Xiao Feng, the commander of the spy company, report to duty." Xiao Feng saluted Li Kenong and An Zhida with a standard military salute and reported loudly.
"Oh, it's fast, sit down and talk." Li Kenong glanced at Xiao Feng with satisfaction, pointed to the stool and said.
"Yes!" Xiao Feng agreed to sit down on the stool beside An Zhida.
"How many people have you brought here?" After Xiao Feng sat down, Li Kenong asked.
"With the addition of 32 of us, we disguised ourselves as farmers and small traders and entered the city in three batches." Xiao Feng replied.
"Okay, you leave 20 comrades, disguised as various identities, scattered around the delegation's residence, closely monitoring suspicious objects, and the rest of the comrades disguised themselves in the city to look for the Japanese elements who spread rumors." Li Kenong gave Xiao Feng a task.
"Company Commander Xiao, after your people are sent out, focus on the investigation in the place where the personnel are concentrated, and follow the vine to find out the Japanese spy who spread rumors and make trouble." An Zhida suggested.
"Two chiefs, what should you do if you find someone?" Xiao Feng asked.
"You rent a safe place near the delegation, and once you find a Japanese spy and secretly arrest it, you will interrogate it there." Li Kenong commanded.
"Yes!" Xiao Feng agreed, stood up and prepared to go out to make arrangements.
"Company Commander Xiao, you must pay attention to safety, I analyze that the Japanese are likely to be hidden by the side of the Young Zhuang faction of the Northeast Army, and they must be secret when arresting people." An Zhida instructed.
ā¦ā¦
After the murder of Commander Wang Yizhe, the news from the front line was diametrically opposed to the wishes of the Shaozhuang faction, and Liu Duoqian and Mu Liliu had joined forces to order the immediate withdrawal of troops from the front line.
The timing of this withdrawal was one day earlier than the time agreed in the Tongguan Agreement.
Their retreat route was that Liu Duoqian's 105th Division moved closer to Gaoling, where the 57th Army was stationed in Mi Liliu.
At the same time, another group of men and horses was sent to take the lead in occupying Lintong, the east gate of Xi'an, in the name of quelling the Xi'an rebellion, and this unit was led by Tang Junyao, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 105th Division.
Tang Junyao personally led a regiment of troops and was ordered to march to Xi'an.
A bloody battle is inevitable.
The actions of the front-line army were not to fight against the Central Army on the orders of the Three Musketeers, but to turn it upside down, and to take the heads of the Three Musketeers and behead them!
The Northeast Army, which was confronting the Central Army on the front line, had withdrawn on all fronts, and Liu Duoquan led the troops back, Yang Hucheng and Yu Xuezhong knew that the peaceful raw rice had been cooked to maturity, and they couldn't regret it if they wanted to.
They had no choice but to declare peace with the Central Army, accept the terms of peace with the Central Army, sign the Tongguan Agreement, and hurriedly sent representatives to Tongguan in the starry night, and saw Gu Zhutong saying that he would abide by the Tongguan Agreement and withdraw his troops peacefully.
But it was too late, and the news that Liu Duoquan's 105th Division had returned was too panicked.
In a panic, the Three Musketeers thought that they could only block it with troops, cover it with water, and mobilize troops to fight against it.
What reassures the Three Musketeers a little is that they still have their own soldiers, and since the Xi'an Incident, the 115th Division has also been transferred to the outskirts of Xi'an to cheer.
Ying Detian and others thought that Liu Qiwen, commander of the 115th Division, was a member of the Anti-Japanese Comrades Association, and Liu Qiwen was also a participant in the anti-traitor meeting held against Wang Yizhe, He Zhuguo and others.
It's always okay to let Liu Qiwen of the 115th Division go into battle to block the 105th Division, right?
Unexpectedly, when I wanted to think about it, when it was really important to be an important person, Liu Qiwen was not there.
It turned out that the 115th Division Liu Qiwen Department was under the command of Miao Liliu of the 57th Army, and Miao Liliu heard that Commander Wang Yizhe had been killed, and immediately issued a military order to Liu Qiwen's Department: Stand by in place!
This telegram was delivered to Liu Qiwen early, Liu Qiwen was suppressed, and the Three Musketeers were anxious about it.
The Three Musketeers thought of another officer with real power who they could mobilize, and that was Brigadier Gao Fuyuan.
Brigade Commander Gao Fuyuan is one of the 15 initiators of the Anti-Japanese Comrades Association, and is now the major general brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division.
Indeed, the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division has a regiment in Xi'an, and another regiment is in the Wangqu area on the outskirts of Xi'an.
However, when Gao Fuyuan received the order of the Three Musketeers and was about to transfer some troops and horses, he encountered big trouble, and the regiment commanders and battalion commanders of the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division, which were originally under his command, were very busy today and did not hear from him at all.
Gao Fuyuan found that not only did he fail to mobilize the helpers he needed, but even the orderly soldiers who used to serve him by his side disappeared at some point.
I don't know whose order this orderly received? Or did he run away on his own out of fear? Anyway, he left without a word, and Brigade Commander Gao Fuyuan left by himself.
It is no wonder that the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division of the Northeast Army is responsible for Zhang Xueliang and the security of the Northeast Army Headquarters, and is nominally under the command of Brigade Commander Gao Fuyuan, but in fact, Gao Fuyuan is also above Zhang Xueliang's adjutant Deputy Division Commander Tan Hai.
In fact, Tan Hai may become the real commander of the 1st Brigade of the 105th Division at any time, so if Brigade Commander Gao Fuyuan wants to mobilize his own brigade, he must see the face of Deputy Division Commander Tan Hai closely, and he must have the order of Division Commander Liu Duoqian from afar.
If armed confrontation is not possible, can we rely on the relationship between ourselves and Division Commander Liu Duoqian and our superiors and subordinates, and rely on human favors to persuade Division Commander Liu Duoqian to obey the overall situation and withdraw the troops?
Gao Fuyuan had to go to Tongguan hard, but as soon as he arrived at the front line, he found that the situation was not good, Liu Duoqian's military operation was not a joke, and his counterinsurgency order was real.
Gao Fuyuan knew from the soldiers he met that in the past few days, the fact that he had left his post without asking for leave had been known to Division Commander Liu Duoqian.
Previously, Division Commander Liu was checking the post for military operations and searching for Gao Fuyuan's whereabouts in the whole division.
Gao Fuyuan suddenly felt that the situation was not good, the matter was complicated, and leaving without asking for leave was a very serious incident in itself, especially when the higher-level commander issued a war order, the lower-level commander lost contact with the battle, which was a serious violation of military law!
The more Gao Fuyuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, he didn't dare to see Division Commander Liu Duoqian or Brigade Commander Tang Junyao, let alone explain the reason to Division Commander Liu Duoqian, so he hurriedly turned around and fled back to Xi'an.
