Chapter 227 The United Front Question

Just when Xiao Siming, Wang Lushui, and Huang Hua were concentrating on the main force training, the "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Alliance" was established!

It turned out that after our army marched to the Jilu border, the momentum was like a rainbow, and Liu Jingliang's department in Huimin also developed rapidly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Cao Zhendong of Deping, Li Yushuang of Dexian County, and Zhang Guoji of Wuqiao all felt threatened, for fear of being annexed by Liu Jingliang or reorganized by our army, and established the "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Alliance" at Yidukou in Deping County, with commander Xu Zhongyang, deputy commander Cao Zhendong, and chief of staff Li Yushuang.

In the eyes of Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Ma Zhenhua, Xing Renfu and others, this is a good thing, indicating that there is another anti-Japanese allied army in the Hebei-Shandong border area. If it is done well, it will become a friendly force of our army. But in Xiao Siming's eyes, that's not a good thing!

Xiao Siming knew very well that this "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Alliance," composed of three miscellaneous armed forces, Cao Zhendong, Li Yushuang, and Zhang Guoji, was just a loose organization, short-lived, and would soon be disbanded.

Originally, Xiao Siming also thought that after the main force completed the training, he would further reorganize the miscellaneous armed forces in the Hebei and Shandong border areas, and the powerful Cao Zhendong, Li Yushuang, and Zhang Guoji were the targets of Xiao Siming's further reorganization of the miscellaneous armed forces. I didn't expect that I would start slowly, and people still established the "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Alliance" as in history!

The miscellaneous armed forces themselves are the object of contention among the ****, the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army and other tripartite forces. The Eighth Route Army wanted to reorganize the miscellaneous armed forces to become guerrilla forces behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army wanted to reorganize the miscellaneous armed forces to increase their strength, and the Japanese army wanted to lure the miscellaneous armed forces into becoming puppet troops to assist them in garrisoning the localities and attacking the anti-Japanese armed forces that persisted in the struggle behind enemy lines.

It can be said that the miscellaneous armed forces at this time are all fragrant and sweet!

Xiao Siming led his troops to advance to the Jilu border, earlier than the five detachments and the Jinpu detachment in history, and the Jilu border area was also the time when the dragons were leaderless. Shen Honglie, chairman of Shandong Province, has not yet had time to inspect the local armed forces in northern Lubei, and Zhang Yinwu, commander-in-chief of the Hebei People's Army in Hebei, is still on the Taihang Mountain, so it is impossible for him to stretch out his hand to the border of Hebei and Shandong. If Xiao Siming seizes the opportunity to vigorously reorganize the miscellaneous armed forces, he will not only be able to strengthen the strength of our army and unify the Hebei and Shandong borders, but also reduce the number of stubborn and pseudo-disguised armed forces in the Hebei and Shandong borders in the future, killing three birds with one stone!

It is a pity that Xiao Siming's unit itself is a new unit that has been developed by relying on reorganization, and it has developed too fast, and it has replenished so many new soldiers, so it must be reorganized and tempered. Otherwise, relying only on the original troops will not be able to withstand the consumption of casualties!

As soon as the main force was put into training, Xiao Siming's pace of sweeping the border of Hebei and Shandong and conducting large-scale training of miscellaneous armed forces had to slow down. As a result, Xu Zhongyang, Cao Zhendong, Li Yushuang, Zhang Guoji and others drummed up a "North China Anti-Japanese Salvation Alliance!" ”

Xiao Siming knew that in history, after the dissolution of the "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Alliance," Cao Zhendong took the initiative to request the reorganization of the "Standing Column," and our army reorganized it into the "Luoyang Detachment," and sent key cadres to work in the Cao Division, and some cadres of the Cao Department also went to study at the Jilu Border Military and Political School. Later, Shen Honglie went to Huimin and began to woo Cao Zhendong. Cao Zhendong couldn't resist the temptation and accepted Shen Honglie's appointment, and the department was reorganized into the Fifth Brigade of Shandong Provincial Security. Later, during the difficult period of the Anti-Japanese War, Cao Zhendong surrendered to the Japanese army at Dexian Airport and was organized as the third brigade of the puppet Wuding Road.

Speaking of which, in history, Cao Zhendong's fate is embarrassing. When he was studying in Japan and went home to visit relatives, he encountered the "77" Lugou Bridge Incident, so together with Xu Zhongyang, Song Damin, and several other students studying in Japan, he incorporated the police force of Deping County, mobilized some landlords, and mobilized some landlords to raise the "Deping Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force." Later, when the five detachments advanced to the Jilu border, they convened a meeting of the leaders of the miscellaneous regiments in Lingxian County, and Cao Zhendong met the Eighth Route Army for the first time, expressed his good impression of our army, and asked our army to be reorganized.

It's a pity that this person didn't have the determination, and as soon as Shen Honglie was wooed, he accepted the number of the Fifth Brigade of Shandong Security. However, because a number of cadres in the eastern part of Cao Zhen had studied at the military and political school in the Jilu Border Region, Cao had always been relatively friendly to the Eighth Route Army, and our army's clothing factories and other logistics units had been hidden in the area controlled by Cao Zhen for a long time. Later, Cao Zhendong led his troops to surrender to the Japanese army, and was reorganized by the Japanese army into the third brigade of the puppet Wuding Road, and rarely killed our army staff. Later, because Cao Zhendong did not surrender to the Japanese army sincerely, the Japanese army took advantage of his serious illness to carry out a surprise attack and kill him!

The situation in Zhang Guoji's department is different!

Historically, after the Tingzong arrived at the Hebei-Shandong border, Zhang Guoji's department was appointed by Zhang Yinwu, the commander-in-chief of the Hebei People's Army, and the department was organized as the second road of the Hebei People's Army. When the Japanese puppet army besieged Zhang Guoji's department, there was no way to ask for help, and it was Xiao Hua who led five detachments to repel the Japanese puppet army and save Zhang Guoji's department. Zhang Guoji swore at that time that he would resolutely unite with the Eighth Route Army to resist Japan, but unfortunately later due to the upsurge of the Kuomintang * Kuomintang * Party, Zhang Guoji's attitude changed, and he tore his face with our army, arrested, killed, and buried our staff alive, and also colluded with the Japanese army, and was finally wiped out by our army!

As for Li Yushuang from Dexian County, he is a celebrity in the education circle of Dexian County, and he once ran a newspaper and a school. Later, when Shen Honglie went to Lubei to inspect the armament, he appointed Li Yushuang as the county magistrate of Dangde County. The ending of this person's history, Xiao Siming is not clear.

Cao Zhendong, Zhang Guoji, and Li Yushuang were just three large groups of miscellaneous armed forces, and there must have been some small armed forces of dozens or more than a dozen people who accepted their reorganization and joined the "North China Anti-Japanese National Salvation Allied Army."

At this time, the provincial governments of Shandong Province and Hebei Province have not yet had time to extend their hands to the border areas of Hebei and Shandong, and it is a good time for our army to reorganize and reorganize its miscellaneous armed forces. missed this period, soon, Shen Honglie will send people to the northern Lubei region to check the local armed forces, give the number, Zhang Yinwu in Hebei will also send people to contact Zhang Guoji and others, these miscellaneous armed forces will be transformed, will become the national * army local armed forces, in the future when the national * national * party sets off a **** climax, they will follow the baton of the national * army, become a stubborn army that frictions with our army. When the Japanese army focuses on besieging the Jilu border, they will collude with the Japanese army as they did in history and become a major source of puppet troops in the Jilu border area.

Xiao Siming was so anxious that he could no longer soak in the whole training, so he immediately discussed with Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, and Ma Zhenhua, and wanted to personally go to Cao Zhendong, Li Yushuang, and Zhang Guoji to talk to them and let them accept the reorganization of our army.

Considering that there are many new troops in our army on the Jilu border and there is a lack of backbone cadres and backbone troops, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui discussed that since the division headquarters had decided to send Political Commissar Xiao Hua to lead the 343 Brigade Headquarters and cadres to advance into the Jilu border, they should quickly send a report to the division headquarters urging Political Commissar Xiao and the five detachments to advance eastward as soon as possible.

That's the way it is, when to say what to say. Xiao Siming was originally angry about Wang Lushui's report to the division headquarters and his request to send more senior leaders to the Jilu border to take command, but at this time, his mind changed, and he was anxious to urge Xiao Hua and them to move eastward quickly. The reason is very simple: the reorganization of the miscellaneous armed forces requires cadres and backbone troops. Otherwise, the adaptation of the miscellaneous armed forces is an empty word, and it can only be adapted today and mutiny tomorrow!

This incident also illustrates a problem, that is, the work of our army's intelligence system in the Hebei-Shandong border area has not been carried out well enough, and Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui did not know about such a big matter in advance, and they only knew about it when they sent a telegram announcing its establishment!

Just when Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui sent a report to the division headquarters, the five cadres assigned by Hebei Province to the Hebei and Lu borders arrived!

This is already April 26, that is, the day of the victory of the anti-Japanese nine-way siege in the southeast base area of Jinjin!

A total of five people came, namely Li Qihua, Yang Jingyuan, Shi Zhen, Zhao Huanwen, and Lu Qi.

Li Qihua brought a letter of instruction from the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, which clearly stated that Li Qihua was in charge of the party's work in the Hebei-Shandong border region, Yang Jingyuan was in charge of the military work of the 31st team, and Shi Zhen, Zhao Huanwen, and Lu Qi were assigned work according to the situation after they arrived at the Hebei-Shandong border.

In February, after Yu Wenbin, the head of the Hebei-Shandong Border Work Committee, died of a misfire in a pistol, Ma Zhenhua and his men lost contact with the Shandong Provincial Party Committee, and sent Li Guangwen, a political traffic officer, to Tianjin to find the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, listen to instructions, and ask for additional forces. Li Guangwen went to Tianjin, got in touch with the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, and met Yao Yilin, the person in charge of the Provincial Party Committee, and only then did the Hebei Provincial Party Committee send cadres to the Hebei and Shandong borders.

Xiao Siming went to Tianjin in disguise as a Japanese army, accompanied by a cavalry company, and the speed was fast. Li Qihua and the others came to the Jilu border not so easy, they had to avoid the blockade of the Japanese puppet army, and they had to beware of traitors. The Eighth Route Army's eastward advance brigade has already arrived at the Jilu border, and they don't know it yet!

These five people are all backbone leading cadres selected by the Hebei Provincial Party Committee, and for the current Jilubian, it is an absolute send-off!

It's all your own people, you're welcome! Xiao Siming immediately discussed with Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Ma Zhenhua, Li Qihua, and Yang Jingyuan, and according to the situation of the cadres appointed by Hebei Province, Li Qihua should be specifically responsible for the party building work in the Hebei-Shandong border region, Ma Zhenhua would be in charge of the political construction work, and Yang Jingyuan would be strengthened to the 31st detachment and serve as the deputy commander of the 31st detachment, and after the 31st detachment was reorganized, he would serve as the political commissar. Zhao Huanwen was in charge of the united front work in the eastern part of Cao Zhen, Shi Zhen was in charge of the united front work in the eastern part of Zhang Guoji, and Lu Qi was in charge of the propaganda and education work in the Hebei-Shandong border region.

Ma Zhenhua was worried that Shi Zhen and Zhao Huanwen were not familiar with Cao Zhendong and Zhang Guoji, and he was even more worried about the safety of Shi Zhen and Zhao Huanwen, so he asked if he would go to another person.

This is indeed a problem!

Li Qihua and the others had just arrived at the Jilu border, and they were indeed blinded, and they didn't understand the situation yet, and it was indeed a bit hasty to suddenly send Shi Zhen and Zhao Huanwen to Cao Zhendong and Zhang Guoji to do united front work. But time waits for no one, and we can't afford to delay, and we must have backbone cadres to do the work in these two departments.

Wang Lushui was a little hesitant, so he discussed with Xiao Siming, is it a replacement?

Xiao Siming smiled proudly and said to Shi Zhen and Zhao Huanwen: "I'll take you there!" Cao Zhendong and Zhang Guoji are not people who don't know the times, your safety is no problem! If any of them dare to touch a single hair of yours, I'll go and squeeze out their eggs!" ”

Zhao Huanwen and Shi Zhen both smiled and happily accepted the task.

During the war years, the work efficiency was high, and several people discussed and decided that Wang Lushui and Xiao Siming took a shift from the guard company, and assigned two guards to each of the five people, including Li Qihua and Yang Jingyuan, and let them go to work.

Wang Lushui is in charge of the overall work of the Jilu border area in Leling, Huang Hua is responsible for the main training work, Xiao Siming took Shi Zhen and Zhao Huanwen out of Leling City and went to Deping to find Cao Zhendong! (To be continued.) )
