In fact, Han Yunhua is still very jealous of Kimura Hyotaro, because this person is a complete murderous demon king, Gu Shoufu-style character, such a person is particularly harmful to the Chinese people. Therefore, when Qian Zhuangfei sent the information on the approximate strength and equipment of the army to Han Yunhua, Han Yunhua immediately informed Lu Zhengying, commander of the Jizhong Military Region in charge of the Shimen Defense District, to pay special attention to this Kimura Hyotaro and his 32nd Division.

And Lu Zhengyan is also a careful person, coupled with the sweep of the Jizhong Military Region by Abe Guixiu's department, Lu Zhengying felt pressure, so he ordered the vast majority of the troops near Shimen to return to the Taihang Mountains, leaving only a small part of the guerrillas to contain the Yue army near Shimen, and by the way, create some trouble for the Yue army.

Obviously, Lu Zhengying underestimated the cruelty of the army, or the cruelty of the old devil Kimura Hyotaro, near the stone gate is a plain of water, and the terrain is flat, so it is not suitable for the troops to fight guerrillas. However, the development of the Eighth Route Army in this area is definitely inseparable from the support of the local people, which is not only imaginable by [***], but also by the Yue Army. However, the commander of the army, who was originally responsible for the defense of the Shimen area, did not have the courage of Kimura Hyotaro to dare to arrest nearly 100,000 young men and women in the vicinity of Shimen into a concentration camp without the consent of the commander of the North China Front.

Although Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura did not order the execution of these civilians, Han Yunhua was also shocked when he received this information, and this Kimura was really too ............ Too, Han Yunhua doesn't know what words to use to describe Kimura Hyotaro. However, Han Yunhua knew that Kimura, an old devil, had also taken great risks and pressures, and if Kimura could not completely take southern Hebei in this battle, then the opposition in the army would definitely not make him have a good time.

But then again, if Kimura loses the battle in southern Hebei this time, there is no guarantee that Kimura, an old devil, will take those ordinary people out of anger and slaughter innocent civilians" feat: this is not the first time that Kimura Hyotaro has done it.

Han Yunhua immediately telegraphed Chen Guang that the former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei must stare at the 32nd Infantry Division of the Yue Army, and absolutely must not give them the opportunity to slaughter the common people, which is 100,000 lives. After receiving the telegram from Han Yunhua, Chen Gang was also taken aback, and secretly said that this Kimura really dared to do this. You must know that 100,000 lives, no matter where they are, these 100,000 lives are not a small number.

However, judging from the telegram sent by Han Yunhua, even if this old devil Kimura slaughtered these Chinese people blatantly, he would let them shed a layer of skin. It's a terrible feeling for me to watch my compatriots let the little devils they say kill themselves and be unable to do anything about it. Therefore, Chen Guang had no choice but to consult with Jiang Yunshan, Yang Xiufeng, director of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, and Song Renqiang, deputy director, to discuss how to rescue the more than 100,000 people who were detained.

It's not unheard of a brutal military officer, but it's the first time I've seen a devil like Hyotaro Kimura who talks to more than 100,000 people at once. Whether it was Yang Xiufeng, who had extremely rich experience in struggle, or Chen Guang, who was surnamed Gengzhi, he didn't know what to do this time, because he knew that this was a matter of life and death for 100,000 people. Even if the original battle plan was formulated, they didn't know whether it should be implemented or not, and at this time, some comrades thought of Han Yunhua, the commander.

However, both Chen Guang and Jiang Yunshan resolutely opposed asking Han Yunhua for advice, and everyone was happy when this matter was done, but if it was not done well, it would likely lead to the serious consequences of the death of 100,000 people. Once such a tragedy happens, who will bear the responsibility, no matter who it is, this responsibility will not be able to bear it, he Chen Guang can't do it, of course Han Yunhua can't do it.

And in their hearts, both Chen Guang and Jiang Yunshan are unwilling to kick this ball to Han Yunhua, on the one hand, to protect this young Chinese god of war, and on the other hand, they are also unwilling to let people look down on their former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei. Originally, before the war, Han Yunhua clearly told them in a telegram that the specific battle would be handled by the command of the former enemy in southern Hebei itself, and the leaders of the military region would not intervene; if they went to seek Han Yunhua's opinion at this time, it would only explain one problem, that is, before the battle, the command of the former enemy in southern Hebei would lose its sense of proportion.

As a group of senior cadres who grew up in the flames of war, Chen Guang and others have their own dignity, and they do not allow themselves to be defeated before fighting, and let the little devils surrender without a fight. After arguing for a whole morning, he still didn't come up with a feasible plan, whether it was the grumpy Chen Guang or the mild-mannered Yang Xiufeng, they were a little impatient, and finally Chen Guang decided to promote peace by fighting.

All the leaders of the former enemy headquarters in southern Hebei know that no matter what little devils say now, they will not let people go, and they will even let them seize the weakness of the Eighth Route Army. In the past, whether it was the murderous Sixth Division or several other army units, even if they didn't have any surnames, they would only slaughter the villagers on the spot and then destroy their bodies, but they really hadn't seen or even heard of the kidnapping of more than 100,000 Chinese civilians by Kimura Hyotaro at once. Therefore, it is extremely important whether this matter is solved well or not, if it is not solved well, let the little devils seize this loophole, and threaten the Eighth Route Army with the Chinese people at every turn, it will be bad.

However, Chen Guang and others also knew that so far Kimura Hyotaro had no intention of threatening the Eighth Route Army with the Chinese people. So what they can do now is to intimidate the army with strong combat power, so that they have certain scruples about their actions. Moreover, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 expatriates in Shimen, and as long as he realizes that the Chinese [***] team also has the ability to attack the big cities where the Chinese army is heavily garrisoned, the Yue army will not dare to massacres Chinese civilians at will.

No matter what you do, you can't do without the powerful deterrent power of the army, and it is better to let the army release people than to let the army release them, or force the army to release them. Therefore, Chen Guang and the others unanimously decided to fight first, and it happened that during this time, Shi Yousan's department was extremely dishonest, and it was time to make an example of the monkeys.

At this time, Han Yunhua sent a telegram, hoping that the former enemy command in southern Hebei would try to contact Gao Shuxun, the commander of the new Eighth Army, to see if he could plot against Gao Shuxun.

Although Chen Guang and the others didn't know who Gao Shuxun was, they trusted Han Yunhua very much, since Commander Han said so, then it must be reasonable, so soon the Southern Hebei Administrative Office sent a commissioner to contact Gao Shuxun secretly. and handed over the evidence of Shi Yousan's defection to the enemy and treason to Gao Shuxun, hoping that Gao Shuxun could start from the interests of the country and the nation and stop Shi Yousan's retrograde.

What Yang Xiufeng and others didn't expect was that Gao Shuxun was immediately indignant after reading the information sent by the commissioner of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, and immediately said that he would stop Shi Yousan from treason at all costs. He also told the commissioner of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office that three days later, Shi Yousan's 69th Army, two regiments of Sun Liangcheng's division under the control of Shi Yousan's 10th Group Army, and a division of Zhu Huaibing would attack the troops of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei on a large scale. Originally, his New Eighth Army also received Shi Yousan's order, and had agreed to attack the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei with Shi Yousan, but now his New Eighth Army will withdraw from this battle.

Gao Shuxun's information was extremely timely, and after receiving a call from Yang Xiufeng, Chen Guang and the others were furious, and immediately began to prepare for war, preparing to teach this dog a hard lesson. However, Gao Shuxun soon sent someone to tell Chen Guang that he would join forces with other senior officers of the Tenth Army to execute Shi Yousan in the past two days, and asked the brothers of the Eighth Route Army not to act rashly for the time being.

Although Chen Guang didn't trust Gao Shuxun very much, it was not a big deal to wait for two or three days, so although Chen Guang ordered the troops to actively prepare for war, he did not order the troops to directly attack Shi You's three departments, but just ordered all troops to be secretly vigilant, which was typical of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

But what Chen Guang didn't expect was that only two days later, the news came that Shi Yousan was buried alive by Gao Shuxun, commander of the New Eighth Army, Zang Bofeng, director of the Political Department of the 69th Army, and Bi Guangyuan, director of the General Staff of the 69th Army. This made Chen Guang understand Han Yunhua a little deeper, this mysterious commander really didn't blow it out, and his ability was still leveraged, although he was a little too young.

Han Yunhua didn't know that his status in Chen Guang's mind had been upgraded to another level, but after receiving a telegram jointly signed by the Southern Hebei Administrative Office and the tutor, he was also relieved to know that Shi You's three volleys had been killed. Although Shi Yousan is not very capable, he is not a small threat to [***]. That guy was not only the lieutenant general of the 69th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, but also the commander of the 10th Group Army. Although Gao Shuxun, Zhu Huaibing, Sun Liangcheng and others may not obey Shi Yousan's command, if Han Yunhua's subordinates execute such a high-ranking officer of the Kuomintang, friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is inevitable.

But now that Gao Shuxun and others are working on their behalf, it has become an internal entanglement within the Kuomintang, and it has nothing to do with him Han Yunhua and the whole [***], and Han Yunhua is still happy to see this.

The reason why Han Yunhua let Chen Guang and others contact Gao Shuxun was entirely because he understood the trend of history, although Gao Shuxun was Shi Yousan's subordinate, and he could be regarded as Shi Yousan's brother, but Shi Yousan still had to die in the hands of Gao Shuxun in the end, but the time was only a year later than this.

Gao Shuxun, a famous patriotic general. Born in martial arts, because of his bravery, he was promoted from a soldier to a division commander. In the process of participating in the "encirclement and suppression" of the Soviet area by the Kuomintang army, he began to get to know China [***], and resolutely broke away from the Kuomintang army and went to live in Tianjin. In May 933, General Feng Yuxiang organized a resistance against the Allied Army in Zhangjiakou, and Gao Shuxun went to the department as a cavalry division commander. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Gao Shuxun served as the deputy director of the Hebei Provincial Security Department. Until the Hebei Provincial Security Force was reorganized into the new 6th Division of the National Revolutionary Army. On February 19, 1938, the Chinese army occupied Xinxiang City. In accordance with the instructions of the Kuomintang Supreme Command not to allow Gao to cross the Yellow River to the south, Gao Shuxun commanded the New Eighth Army at the post to cover the retreat alternately in a planned, step-by-step, and purposeful manner.

Historically, after the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, Gao Shuxun's new Sixth Division was reorganized into the Eighth Army of the Tenth Army of the Kuomintang, with Gao Shuxun as the commander, and was controlled by the Han Dynasty to destroy Shi Yousan. Shi Yousan, together with Han Fuyu, Liu Ruming, Sun Lianzhong, Sun Liangcheng, etc., is known as Feng Yuxiang's "Thirteen Taibao". Shi Yousan got into contact with Tu Feiyuan, the head of the Yueben spies, and with the help of the Yueben forces, he colluded with frustrated military and politicians, organized a team to carry out activities in eastern Hebei, and opened up a road for the Yueben invading army. Shi Yousan colluded with the puppet army, and his subordinates were very dissatisfied. The division commanders Mi Wenhe, Zhang Yuting and others did not want to be Han Annihilation, and were ready to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Shi Yousan. Gao Shuxun was unwilling to attack the Eighth Route Army, so Shi Yousan instigated the Yue Army to attack Gaobu. In this way, the contradiction between Shi and Gao was further deepened. Shi Yousan, director of the Political Department of the 69th Army, Zang Bofeng, and General Staff member Bi Guangyuan took advantage of these contradictions and plotted with Gao Shuxun to find an opportunity to kill Shi Yousan in order to eliminate the big trouble. In November 1940, Shi Yousan was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army in the battle in southern Hebei, so he turned to the Yue Army, signed a non-aggression agreement with Sasaki, the commander of the Yue Ben garrison, in Kaifeng, and prepared to surrender to the Yue Army after the joint elimination of the Eighth Route Army. Zang Bofeng, Bi Guangyuan, Gao Shuxun and others felt the urgency of the situation and decided to make a quick move. They invited Sun Liangcheng, a former general of the Northwest Army and then director of the Luxi Travel Agency and director of the guerrillas, to invite Shi Yousan to Gao Shuxun's headquarters for an interview, saying that he wanted to eliminate the estrangement between the two. Shi Yousan saw that it was the old chief who came forward to invite, so he agreed. On December 1, Shi Yousan led a company of cavalry with Sun Liangcheng to Liuxiatun, Puyang, Henan, where Gao Shuxun's troops were stationed. Gao Shuxun led the officers above the brigade commander to welcome them into the conference room. After a while, an orderly soldier entered and said to Gao Shuxun, "Mrs. has something to ask for." Gao Shuxun left the room. Suddenly, 4 guards entered the conference room and carried Shi You away. Sun Liangcheng realized that he had been used at this time, but he had no choice but to leave alone. That night, Gao Shuxun ordered soldiers to bury Shi Yousan alive on the bank of the Yellow River.

Han Yunhua, who knows this detail, is very clear about the relationship and contradictions between Shi Yousan and Gao Shuxun, and Han Yunhua knows that Gao Shuxun also has a strong mark in the history of [***]. From September to October 1945, the Kuomintang launched the Shangdang Campaign and the Pinghan Campaign (also known as the Handan Campaign) to attack the liberated areas. While Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping were carrying out the Pinghan Campaign, they launched a political offensive to secretly win the uprising led by Gao Shuxun. Gao Shuxun expressed dissatisfaction and disgust at Chiang Kai-shek's actions to ostracize dissidents and provoke a civil war within the Kuomintang army. In early September 1945, Gao Shuxun sent people to secretly come to the front-line headquarters of the Shangdang Campaign to meet with Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping to discuss peace matters. In October 1945, Sun Lianzhong led three armies, including Gao Shuxun, Ma Fawu, and Lu Chongzhi, to the north along the Pinghan Road. The army walked to the area of Handan and Cixian, and was surrounded by our army, and our army launched the Pinghan Campaign. Li Da, chief of staff of our military region, ventured through the line of fire to personally go to Gao Shuxun's barracks for an interview, which moved Gao Shuxun very much, and finally made up his mind to revolt. On October 30, Gao Shuxun led more than 10,000 people of the New 8th Army and the Hebei People's Army to officially announce the uprising in Matou Town, and issued the "Declaration of the Uprising to Stop the Civil War and Unite and Build the Country" to the whole country in the form of a telegram, declaring that it would break away from the Kuomintang camp. After Gao Shuxun led his troops to revolt, the enemy army was greatly shaken and lost confidence in holding on. Liu Bocheng transferred the main force of the People's Liberation Army to both sides of the enemy's retreat north of the Zhanghe River, annihilated more than 23,000 troops of the enemy's two armies of Sun Lianzhong's division in the mobile battle, and captured the enemy's 40th Army commander Ma Fawu, deputy army commander Liu Shirong and other senior generals, and won the victory in the Pinghan Campaign.

Moreover, some of the methods and measures taken by Han Yunhua when building the Inner Mongolia Military Region were also directly related to Gao Shuxun, so when he solved the threat of Shi You's three departments, he immediately thought of Gao Shuxun. Han Yunhua has implemented some important policies from the beginning of the establishment of the Inner Mongolia Military Region to the present, including the disintegration of the enemy army, political work to instigate rebellion, the integration of the puppet army, etc., and all of this is not Han Yunhua's own creation, of course, for the current [***] This system was invented and first proposed and practiced by Han Yunhua, but all of this is directly and closely related to Gao Shuxun, the former commander of the New Eighth Army of the Kuomintang after the victory of the 11th War Zone.

The Gao Shuxun uprising caused a great shock to Chiang Kai-shek and his high command, making him feel that "the will of the soldiers is not solid, and the people's will will not return", and the time is not ripe to start a civil war. After the end of the Gao Shuxun Uprising and the Pinghan Campaign, a large number of documents on Chiang Kai-shek's conspiracy to start a civil war were seized, and the Yan'an Xinhua News Agency selected seven important secret orders from him to be published, so that the people of the whole country could clearly understand the truth of the Kuomintang's instigation of the civil war. The Gao Shuxun Uprising and the subsequent "Gao Shuxun Movement" became a banner for the vast number of patriotic officers and soldiers in the Kuomintang army who hated the civil war, and they defected and revolted in large numbers on the front line of the Kuomintang civil war that followed, accelerating the process of victory in the National Liberation War. However, at that time, the Eighth Route Army was too hasty to absorb and annex Gao Shuxun's rebel troops, which also caused a bad impact.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the chairman twice pointed out that one of the three basic principles of our army's political work is "the principle of disintegrating the enemy army and treating prisoners leniently." "There are three major principles in the army's political work: The first is the unity of officers and soldiers, the second is the unity of the army and the people, and the third is the disintegration of the enemy army." After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the chairman and the [***] Central Committee instructed all localities to "carry out the political work of dismantling the hypocrisy and stubbornness". Subsequently, the "Instructions on the Establishment of the [***] Work Department" were issued, requiring all central bureaus and strategic areas of the army to establish "[***] work departments dedicated to the disintegration of the Kuomintang army." After the Gao Shuxun Uprising, under the auspices of [***], the [***] Central Committee issued the "Instructions of the [***] Central Committee on Expanding the Propaganda of the Handan Uprising" on November 12, 1945, which clearly stated that "to expand the propaganda of the Handan Uprising nationwide, to attack the Kuomintang from the Achilles heel of the Kuomintang in the civil war, to disintegrate the Kuomintang army, and to promote the outbreak of the second and third Handan Uprisings." Subsequently, on December 15, 1945, he wrote the article "Guidelines for the Work in the Liberated Areas in 1946", which he wrote in his own handwriting, and clearly pointed out: "The Gao Shuxun Movement was launched, so that a large number of Kuomintang troops would follow Gao Shuxun's example and stand on the side of the people at the critical juncture of the war, oppose the civil war, and advocate peace. In order to ensure that this work is carried out in a real way and that it can be quickly effective, all localities must, in accordance with the instructions of the central authorities, set up special departments, dispatch a large number of cadres, and devote themselves to this work. Leading organs at all levels should give close guidance. After the rise of the "Gao Shuxun Movement," on May 22, 1946, under the auspices of the [***], the [***] Central Committee issued a document entitled "On Rapidly and Actively Carrying Out [***] Work," which once again emphasized: "All localities should, in accordance with the instructions of the Central Committee, quickly and actively carry out the [***] work and carry out the Gao Shuxun Movement." It was precisely under the repeated personal instructions and vigorous calls of [***] that the "Gao Shuxun Movement" was in full swing throughout the army.
