Chapter 557: Rescue Zhao Shangzhi
Zhao Shangzhi's capture is a disaster for the entire Anti-Japanese Federation, who is Zhao Shangzhi, that is a landmark figure who is called "Southern Yang and Northern Zhao" together with Yang Jingyu, not to mention that Zhao Shangzhi not only has a large number of party secrets, but also knows all the information of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and now Zhao Shangzhi is at the lowest stage of his political career, and has just been expelled from the party and removed from his post.
Besides, Zhao Shangzhi's prestige in Jidong and other places is no less than that of Yang Jingyu in South Manchuria, and even surpasses it. If he defected to the enemy, the blow to the Anti-League would be fatal, so as soon as the news of Zhao Shangzhi's capture reached Ulanhot, all the cadres of the former Anti-Japanese Federation exploded.
Han Yunhua knew what everyone was worried about, but he didn't worry much in his heart, he didn't think about it before, it was because the time of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's sacrifice in history was February 12, 1942, originally Han Yunhua thought that the arrival of himself and the Northeast Advance Army changed the trajectory of the main leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation and the Anti-Japanese Federation, at least Zhao Shangzhi was not captured on February 12, and then died of blood eight hours later. Danshi Han Yunhua still did not Xiangdao Only a month later, history returned to the original point here once, Zhao Shangzhi still led a small number of soldiers to attack the Wutonghe police station as in history, and was also seriously injured by enemy agents disguised as ordinary people, and then was captured in a coma.
However, Han Yunhua has a certain understanding of the deeds of generals in history who still insisted on fighting at the end of his life, so he was not worried about Zhao Shangzhi's defection to the enemy and treason, and now the first thing he wants to determine is how Zhao Shangzhi's injuries are, in history, Zhao Shangzhi's injuries in this attack on the Wutonghe Police Branch were fatal, and he himself refused to be treated, so he died of injuries eight hours later. Therefore, Han Yunhua must first determine whether Zhao Shangzhi still has a chance to survive, and nothing else is a problem.
After all, it had just arrived in the northeast, and the PLA's shelf had just been erected, and all the troops were still in their original formation, and none of the troops had completed the reorganization, so Han Yunhua still didn't know much about the troops of the Anti-Japanese Federation, so Han Yunhua immediately convened an emergency meeting of the main leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation to discuss the matter.
In fact, it is far more than Han Yunhua himself who is anxious, Zhou Baozhong, Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun and others are also very anxious after learning the news, no one knows Zhao Shangzhi better than their comrades-in-arms who often fight side by side, after learning that Zhao Shangzhi was captured, Zhou Baozhong and others hurriedly asked Han Yunhua to discuss countermeasures.
The emergency meeting was held in Han Yunhua's room, and because the time was urgent, Han Yunhua did not notify Lu Zhengcao, Li Dingguo and others.
"Comrade Zhou Baozhong, can you contact Comrade Zhao Shangzhi now, or can you confirm the extent of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's injury?" Han Yunhua was not verbose, and brought up what he wanted to know at the beginning.
Zhou Baozhong did not hesitate, and replied directly: "As soon as the news came, I sent a telegram to the troops, asking them to contact the Third Route Army immediately and do everything possible to contact Comrade Zhao Shangzhi. Danshi spread the news that all Yijing of the Third Route Army was transferred, Comrade Zhao Shangzhi is now seriously injured, and the person is basically in a coma, and the most important thing in Danshi is that Comrade Zhao Shangzhi refuses to accept the treatment of the Japanese military medical officer, and he may not be able to support it even today. ”
"Well, you are trying to do everything you can now, at all costs to contact Comrade Zhao Shangzhi, so that he must cooperate with the treatment of the Japanese puppet army, and when he is injured, I will send someone to rescue him." Han Yunhua said solemnly.
"No problem, mission guaranteed!" Zhou Bao Zhongdao. …,
"Comrades, what do you want to say about Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's capture, I would like to take this opportunity to learn about Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's character, and you can speak your mind freely, because there is no such thing as asking for guilt in speech in our Inner Mongolia Military Region." Han Yunhua actually has a lot of opinions about Zhao Shangzhi not coming to the meeting this time, after all, when he came, Han Yunhua also specially told Lu Zhengcao to ask him to specifically inform the Third Route Army that there was no need for Zhao Shangzhi to come to Ulanhot to participate in this important meeting.
Li Zhaolin, as the main leader of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and the commander-in-chief of the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, has been an old partner of Zhao Shangzhi for more than ten years, and he is still very clear about the temper of his old comrade-in-arms: "Commander, Comrade Zhao Shangzhi is my old comrade-in-arms, and I am still very clear about his personality, although he has some problems that have not been dealt with, and is still under investigation, Danshi I always think that he is a first-class soldier who can stand the test, no matter what, even if he dies, he will not betray the party and join the enemy." ”
"Well, I want to know, why did he Zhao Shangzhi not attend such an important meeting, why Zhao Shangzhi, such an important leading cadre, would attack the enemy's stronghold with only a few dozen people, is he Zhao Shangzhi so stupid that he doesn't even know how to protect himself or if there is something else hidden, I want to know the truth." Han Yunhua asked in a deep voice.
Li Zhaolin said: "This is the case, because Comrade Zhao Shangzhi was suspected of secretly killing Comrade Qi Zhizhong, so at the 10th Standing Committee of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee held in January 1940, the delegates at the meeting believed that he had "anti-party behavior" and decided to "permanently expel him" from the party. However, the Jidong Party organization believed that he had made serious erroneous remarks during his work in the Second Route Army, and decided to remove him from his post as deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army. Therefore, when the comrades of the Northeast Advance Army sent the list of cadres attending the meeting to the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee, we did not inform Comrade Zhao Shangzhi that he was not qualified to attend such an important meeting. ”
"Regarding the question of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi, I will personally respond to the Central Committee, your Manchuria Provincial Party Committee is about to be revoked, I Xiwang must give an explanation to the Central Committee on the issue of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's party membership before the revocation, seek truth from facts, only need to submit a copy of the information or evidence you collected before to the Central Committee, but I Xiwang You should carefully and deeply read it before handing it in, and it has been proved that our internal resistance is not as pure as we imagined. Take the incident of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi being attacked and captured, which proves that there are lurking enemy elements in our ranks. In addition to the defection of Cheng Bin, Xie Wendong, Li Huatang and others, we do not dare to guarantee whether the rumors about Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's secret killing of Comrade Qi Zhizhong are true, whether this is false news specially spread by the Japanese puppet army, and the intention is to let us be fooled, and I, Comrade Xiwang Zhaolin, can carefully consider my suggestion. Han Yunhua said.
In 1946, four years after Zhao Shangzhi's heroic sacrifice, in order to commemorate this anti-Japanese hero, the Zhuhe County Peasants and Workers Congress decided to change the name of the county to Shangzhi County, which is the city we know today. In 1982, after the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee, in accordance with the instructions of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, conducted a re-examination of Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's punishment within the Party in 1940. On June 8 of the same year, the Heilongjiang Provincial Party Committee made the "Decision on Restoring Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's Party Membership". The decision stated: "Revoke the Decision on Expulsion of Zhao Shangzhi from the Party of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee in January 1940, restore Zhao Shangzhi's party membership, overturn all untruths imposed on Zhao Shangzhi, and restore his reputation." Therefore, Han Yunhua instructed Li Zhaolin and asked him to carefully review Zhao Shangzhi's party membership. …,
After all, Zhao Shangzhi's prestige and influence are too great, and the three words "Zhao Shangzhi" in the northeast are a well-known signboard, which once made the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army frightened, exclaiming, "The little 'Manchukuo', the big Zhao Shangzhi", this is not only the helpless and admiring emotion issued by the Japanese Kou, but also the best praise for Zhao Shangzhi and the anti-Japanese forces he led, and he himself was also called the most stubborn "anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese" elements by the Japanese! Although such a person is active in the vast forests, seas and snow fields of white mountains and black waters all year round, it is also possible that Danshi can attract Han Yunhua's attention.
"Don't worry, Commander, we are also discussing this matter during this time, and after this incident, we will re-examine Comrade Zhao Shangzhi's issue." Li Zhaolin said cautiously.
"Again, we are a political party seeking truth from facts, we do not wronged a comrade, and of course we will never let go of a bad person. The matter of rescuing Comrade Shang Zhi will be handled by the headquarters of the military region. You should immediately return to your respective units and do a good job in the reorganization of the troops; the establishment of your former anti-Japanese forces is very large, and more than a dozen people are also called battalions and regiments, and hundreds of people have become brigade-level military units, and 1,000 people are division-level units. Han Yunhua knew very well what he was most worried about when the troops were reorganized, so he reminded.
Li Zhaolin and Zhou Baozhong smiled and said: "Commander, don't worry, we have been prepared for this for a long time, in fact, in our Anti-Japanese League, the division commander, brigade commander and the like are just a false name, and they are just said to scare and scare the little devils, in fact, everyone is a brother when they work together, there is no commander only a brother." This is also why Comrade Zhao Shangzhi dared to attack the Wutonghe police station with only a small detachment of a few dozen people; this is the tradition of our consistent fighting against the United Nations; in this lump in the northeast, if the generals and officials shouted "give Lao Tzu Chong" like the officers of the Nationalist Government, I am afraid that the troops would have dispersed long ago. Just like Comrade Yang Jingyu dared to hold back the large Japanese army with only more than 300 people and won time for the main force to retreat, this is not because he does not know how to protect himself, but because he has to do it as a last resort, otherwise in just six or seven years, our cadres above the division of the Anti-Japanese Federation would not have sacrificed more than 100 people. Therefore, the official position is actually nothing to the cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation. ”
"Hey, I actually don't understand, Danshi, have you ever thought about it, how big the death of any high-prestige cadre is to the troops, now Comrade Yang Jingyu's head is still in the puppet Manchurian capital Xinjingcheng, in the eyes of the Japanese, you and me and all the heads of cadres above the division and brigade level are their merits, so in the future, our tactics must be changed, every important leader must have a guard, and it is strictly forbidden for generals to charge, I will never allow a division commander to play the same role as a private, Especially a few of you, I can't afford to lose any of them. Although Han Yunhua's voice was not high, Danshi was full of majesty, which made Li Zhaolin and the others tremble.
"Commander, there's a question I've been holding in my heart, Danshi doesn't know whether to ask it or not?" Feng Zhongyun, the former secretary general of the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee and just appointed as the political commissar of the Third Field Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation, asked.
Originally, Han Yunhua was about to announce the end of the meeting, but when Danshi heard Feng Zhongyun say this, he smiled and said: "If you have anything to say, Comrade Zhongyun said, our military region is very open-minded, as long as you don't openly make anti-party and treasonous remarks, you will not be convicted, even if you have an opinion on the headquarters of the military region because of a certain order, you can directly "bombard" the headquarters, if you have any problems, just say it." ”
"That's right, I've been wondering for the past few days what the commander said about the northward shift of the strategic center of gravity, whether all the troops of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are all assembled in the northeast region, or whether there is another way. Moreover, we have been cut off from the Party Central Committee for four or five years, and now we do not know much about the situation in China and within the Party, and we do not have a real image of the strength of the military region, so Commander Xiwang can give us a clear answer. Feng Zhongyun said. …,
Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "In fact, the shift of the strategic center of gravity to the north does not mean that all forces should be concentrated to go north, you must know that the development of the military region does not rely solely on tactical shengli, and our military region relies on continuous surpassing in strategy from weak to strong. In my opinion, the gains and losses of one city and one place are actually insignificant, and as long as we seize the opportunity of the war and make a major breakthrough in strategy, it will not be a pity at all to lose 10 or 8 counties. The northward shift of the strategic center of gravity means that in the future, the center of gravity of all the troops of the entire military region must be carried out around the center of capturing the northeast and eliminating the Kwantung Army, and all the manpower and financial resources of the military region will also be vigorously tilted toward the troops in the northeast region. ”
"Capture the Northeast? Destroy the Kwantung Army? "Because some things involve military secrets, Han Yunhua didn't say these things in the training some time ago, so just after saying that, Zhou Baozhong, Li Zhaolin, Feng Zhongyun and others were all surprised, they didn't have Xiangdao, a young commander, who had such a big appetite.
"Commander, now the Japanese army has nearly 30 divisions and a large number of affiliated troops in the northeast, with a total strength of about 800,000, not counting the hundreds of thousands of national defense forces and Jiang'an army in the puppet Manchukuo, plus these two devils, I am afraid that there are more than 1.1 million people, and we are only 130,000 people in the full battle now, and the difference in strength is extremely large, and it may not be easy to capture the northeast and eliminate the Kwantung Army." Feng Zhongyun put forward his own views.
"Hehehe, in fact, there are some things that belong to the absolute secrets of our military region, which can't be told to you originally, since Danshi has said this, I'll talk to you, but you must not say it after listening to it, everyone knows the secret level of the military region, this secret level is '5A', which means that no one has the right to know except the chairman, and the next conversation is not allowed to be recorded." Han Yunhua said very seriously, and Zhou Bao and the others all subconsciously sat up straight and listened carefully.
Han Yunhua cleared his throat and said: "According to the information we have collected, there are 15 main divisions of the Japanese army stationed in the northeast, and their numbers are: 1st Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, 11th Division, 12th Division, 14th Division, 23rd Division, 24th Division, 25th Division, 27th Division, 28th Division, 29th Division, 57th Division, 71st Division, 74th Division, and 8-10 C-class divisions can be assembled in a short period of time. Together with the 30 infantry divisions of the puppet Manchukuo, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army was about 1.1 million. The strength of our military region is not only 130,000 people, we have stationed more than 200,000 troops in Rehe Province and the eastern Hebei region, we have also stationed more than 200,000 troops in Suidong, plus more than 100,000 troops of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, the total strength of Yijing exceeds 600,000, and we still have more than 800,000 reserve troops in Saibei and Hebei regions, and the overall strength of Yijing exceeds that of the Kwantung Army. More importantly, the Soviet comrades Yijing agreed to support us, of course, at the cost of training a special combat team of no less than 3,000 men for them in a short period of time. It won't be long before a large number of Soviet weapons will be transported to the northern part of the country via the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then we will be no worse than the little devils in terms of heavy weapons. ”
Han Yunhua threw out such a fierce material, which made it difficult for Zhou Bao and others to accept it in time, and the powerful enemy who had been looking up to him was surpassed in an instant. The strength of the Kwantung Army is deeply experienced by these people, although those *** are brutal and inhumane, Danshi's combat effectiveness is not to say, Danshi seems to be nothing in the mouth of this young commander.
"Commander, do we really have so many troops in our military region?" Zhou Baozhong asked with some disbelieving.
Han Yunhua looked at the group of senior cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and then said: "The real strength of our military region has not been found out by the Japanese army for 4 years, because our strength is increasing almost every day, and even the headquarters of our military region does not know how many troops there are, in addition to your Northeast People's Liberation Army, there are 6 second-level military subdivisions in our military region, and the total strength of each military subdivision exceeds 200,000, although the Jizhong Military Subdivision has just been established, Danshi's strength should not be underestimated, so the 1.8 million Japanese puppet army still can't scare our military region, don't worry, it's not your PLA's own business to deal with the Kwantung Army, and the entire military region will vigorously support you. As you said, the Kwantung Army is not simple, so each and every one of us must be prepared to fight a big battle and a tough battle, and the most important thing for us now is to do a good job in the reorganization of the troops, and in addition, we must find ways to rescue Comrade Zhao Shangzhi, and to borrow a phrase from Mr. Sun Yat-sen, we encourage each other: 'The revolution has not yet been completed, and comrades still need to work hard.'" ”
After the meeting was dismissed, Han Yunhua immediately called Wang Xiaohu and others in, as for how Han Yunhua explained, no one knew, but in the next few days, everyone found that there were many fewer guards around the commander.
