Chapter 435: Incident is coming
In addition to dissolving the Huangqiao Battle early, northern Shaanxi is also closely monitoring the northward withdrawal of the New Fourth Army in the south of the Yangtze River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the following days, as in history, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, with Ye Ting as the mainstay, began negotiations with the Third Theater.
At the same time as the negotiations, the troops of the 3rd theater of operations began to move. The 79th Division and the 62nd Division moved from the southern part of Jing County, Anhui Province to the New Fourth Army. The 114th Division moved from the New Fourth Army in Xiangjing County on the west side. The 40th and 52nd Divisions gradually moved towards the New Fourth Army in Jingxian County from the east, while the New 7th and 108th Divisions moved towards the New Fourth Army from the north and northeast.
It's just that, unlike history, Chongqing's urging was not tight, the movement of the troops was much slower, and after not far from the New Fourth Army, they began to wait for Chongqing's orders.
An accident happened, and reporters from several domestic and foreign newspapers organized by Chongqing went to the Third War Zone.
The reporter's visit was actively promoted by Hongyan Village, and it was done as early as September. The press corps made a big detour to get here, and it took nearly two months to get there.
As soon as the reporters arrived, the troop movement in the Third Theater of Operations stopped. The purpose of the military mobilization is to eliminate the New Fourth Army, so how can such a transfer be seen by the Chinese and foreign reporters?
However, the New Fourth Army began to mobilize and marched to Jiangbei according to the order, except for the military headquarters led by Ye Ting and Xiang Ying, other troops were drawn one after another. Because it knew the route of the Guofu Army, the New Fourth Army retreated very skillfully, starting from the mountains and not being discovered at all.
By the beginning of February 1941, the press corps had left the Third Theater of Operations on the 16th. A week after the reporter left, the incident in southern Anhui finally broke out.
Xiang Ying and his remaining 3,000 troops were surrounded by 80,000 men of the 32nd Group Army of the Guofu Army.
Historically, although Mao's determination to retreat north has been made after Haodian, there have been some changes in how to go and the timing of leaving. Later, after receiving information about the transfer of the 32nd Group Army, it "strictly ordered" the headquarters of the New Fourth Army to withdraw north.
The remaining problems are Ye Ting and Xiang Ying. Ye Ting's responsibility in it is not very large, he is the protagonist of the negotiations with the Third War Zone, and the rhythm of the negotiations is basically in line with that of northern Shaanxi. Because he has just returned from his second resignation, he has a close cooperation with northern Shaanxi.
Xiang Ying was a little reluctant to leave the old base in Yunling. He has an elite route, and the 9,000 troops in his hand are his elite soldiers.
Historically, when orders from northern Shaanxi favored his ideas, he carried them out aggressively, otherwise not actively. After it was determined that the siege had been made, several erroneous decisions were made, including delaying for five or six days, holding meetings after the siege and not being able to make a decision to break out, and breaking out of the siege without breaking out of the law.
Xiang Ying's method of breaking through was to lead Yuan Guoping, Zhou Zikun, Li Yiyu and others, and the principle was to "lead officials and not lead troops to break through the siege".
There is a detail in history that said that he did not notify Commander Ye when he broke through. In fact, Xiang Ying and Ye Ting were not together, Xiang Ying couldn't wait for a long time, thinking that something had happened to Ye Ting and decided to break through. Ye Ting and Rao Shushi went to Xiang Ying, found that Xiang Ying broke through alone, and telegraphed to northern Shaanxi, and northern Shaanxi then decided to be commanded by Ye Ting and Rao Shushi, "All decisions are made by Ye Junchang."
Later, Xiang Ying and Yuan Guoping escaped from the siege and were killed by Liu Houzong, the adjutant in charge of the horses, who saw the gold Xiang Ying was carrying.
Now, because of the strict orders in northern Shaanxi, the large number of troops has been evacuated one after another, and only 3,000 people are left here, and the other 6,000 have been safely evacuated. Northern Shaanxi also strictly ordered that senior commanders must be with large units to ensure safety.
Regarding the retreat of these 3,000 people, Xiang Ying and Ye Ting had serious disagreements.
At this time, Yan'an called and asked them to retreat immediately, and even told them the retreat route, and the retreat time was also very clear to them. At the same time, the telegram also informed them of some information on the distribution of the national army, which convinced them that the retreat route drawn up was correct.
Ye Ting asked to call out according to the instructions of the Military Commission, but Xiang Ying hesitated about the instruction.
Half an hour later, northern Shaanxi called again, demanding that the breakthrough be immediately made according to the telegram just now. After ten minutes, he urged again, and told all the numbers, numbers, and distribution of the encircling troops in the third theater.
Xiang Ying: "Let's have a meeting to discuss." ”
Ye Ting: "At this moment, just go out, why bother to have a meeting?" ”
Rao Shushi: "The central government has called, and even the retreat route has been clearly explained. If I think it's reasonable, I'll do as instructed. ”
Xiang Ying: "The center of Yan'an is thousands of miles away, how do you know the situation on the battlefield?" ”
Rao Shushi: "A few days ago, the Kuomintang made a public broadcast, saying that we were going to cross the river. In this way, the devils will definitely block the Yangtze River. If we change places to cross the river, there will definitely be traps waiting for us. So, head south, take a detour, that's the best option. ”
Ye Ting: "At this moment, just go out, why bother to have a meeting?" I'll go to the team and we'll do it right away. ”
Rao Shushi: "A few of you come here." ”
Xiang Ying: "Let's come over after we discuss the matter." ”
Ye Rao and the others went with a few guards, and the remaining dozen or so people looked at Xiang Ying, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
Xiang Ying: "The two of them refuse to have a meeting, let's have a meeting first." ”
The meeting did not last seven hours, but it lasted for the third hour and was inconclusive. Suddenly, the direction of Ye Rao's unit began.
Xiang Ying, Yuan Guoping, and Zhou Zikun knew that it was not good, so they gathered in the direction of the large army with a few guard adjutants. After walking a short distance, he found that the mountain was full of enemies, so he had to return to the place he had just won and turn south.
After walking for several hours, he encountered a group of troops, and the other party opened fire first, and soon after the battle, Yuan Guoping was seriously injured.
At this time, most of the guards were killed and wounded, Xiang Ying called one of them to help him continue walking, Yuan Guoping gritted his teeth and shot himself in the temple.
Xiang Ying and Zhou Zikun were very sad, and it was too late, so they had to escape. At this time, there was one guard left and one adjutant left. Xiang Ying and Zhou Zikun personally carried the package, and the four of them entered the mountain.
After entering the mountain, I found that the only guard was also missing, and most of them were dead.
Adjutant Liu Hou said: "I know that there is a small cave in front of me, called Mifeng Cave, which is very secret. There is no one here, let's go and rest first, and then go to the big force when the enemy has retreated. ”
Xiang Ying and Zhou Zikun were very tired and had to agree.
When they arrived at the cave, Liu Hou and the two of them went in and covered the cave by themselves.
Entering the cave, Xiang Ying put down the package, it was already late at night, and the two of them were fighting and running for several hours, very tired, and fell asleep.
Mr. Liu Hou came back and saw that the two had fallen asleep.
Mr. Liu Hou went to Xiang Ying's side and touched the burden that he used as a pillow. He knew that there were gold bars inside, which were part of the funds of the headquarters.
Liu Hou hesitated for a long time, and finally showed a decisive look in his eyes, took out the gun, wrapped the muzzle of the gun with his clothes, and aimed it at Xiang Yingde's head, which was a shot.
Zhou Zikun woke up when he heard the dull sound of gunshots, only to see a hole in a cloth bag with green smoke. The hole was pointed at him, and then he heard a dull gunshot, and knew nothing.
Liu Hou always pulled out the package, carried it on his back, drilled out of the cave, and walked into the vast night.
Ye Ting Rao Shushi telegraphed northern Shaanxi after he couldn't find Xiang Ying. Northern Shaanxi ordered Ye Ting and Rao Shushi to take charge of the New Fourth Army and ordered them to break through, and the two led the remaining troops to break through. Because of the early breakthrough, the breakthrough route was clear and reasonable, and in the end it succeeded, with only a thousand people lost. During the retreat, Ye Ting was injured, and the troops were temporarily in charge of Rao Shushi.
Rao Shushi is an old qualification, joined the party in 1925, and participated in the armed uprising of workers in Shanghai in 27. After the April 12 Incident, Rao Shushi went to the Soviet area in northeastern Jiangxi. In 1929, he was transferred to Northeast China and served as secretary of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and acting secretary of the Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. He was arrested in 1930 and released from prison in 1931 for the Soviet Union. In 1932, he returned to China and went to Shanghai, where he served as secretary of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and secretary of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions.
In 1935, Rao Shushi went to the Soviet Union again and served as the representative of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions to the Red Workers' International. Since 1936, he has been sent to the United States and France, where he participated in the work of the Chinese "Pioneer Daily" and "National Salvation Times" respectively. In November 1939, he returned to China and served as deputy secretary of the Southeast Bureau of the Communist Party of China and deputy secretary of the Central China Bureau of the Communist Party of China.
The losses of the New Fourth Army were reduced to a minimum.
February 16, 1941. Yichun.
After completing the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Xiaolu and his party took a few people and secretly returned to Yichun by train. His stand-in is still active in the area of Rehe Suiyuan and western Liaoxi, although it is very low-key, but it can be detected by the Japanese army.
In Yichun's command room, there are several newly successfully drawn maps, one of the largest is a map of the world, one is a map of China and neighboring countries, and one is a map of the northeast and surrounding regions.
All of Yichun's command is here. In addition to the Northeast region, there are other battlefields in China that are marked the most on the map, and Europe is the one that has received the most attention again.
Xiao Lu knew that during this time, his attention would be in the northern and southern treaties of China, and would jump around the Far East and Europe.
After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Xiaolu had to deal with Guan Teyan. The so-called special exercise was a special exercise of the Kwantung Army, and it was a military operation in which the Japanese wantonly sent troops to Manchuria to expand the units of the Kwantung Army.
The purpose of the trail was not only not to disrupt the plans of the Japanese army, but also to keep the Japanese army from clearing the Anti-Japanese Alliance. In addition to this, he also had to influence the Japanese from the intelligence side, influence the Japanese army, and throw the Japanese army into chaos in the south and north. Let the Japanese army in the Kwantung Army, which advocated advancing northward, take action, causing a conflict between the Japanese army and the Soviet army, and creating opportunities for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Northeast, and China.
Of course, before the war, he also had to withdraw the Chinese from Moscow before the German army attacked the Soviet Union.
Xiaolu received a report of the incident in southern Anhui. Seeing the bulletin, Xiaolu regretted that the two leaders of the New Fourth Army were still killed. It's a blessing that Commander Ye wasn't arrested.
After informing the senior leaders in the northeast of the incident in southern Anhui, news came from the brigade that the white Russians living in seclusion in the brigade and various parts of the northeast had gathered at the brigade and gradually took action in the past few days, and the purpose seemed to be the Soviet Union.
It was a crucial year in the European theater of war, the first year of Germany's attack on the Soviet Union. The actions of Belarus must have something to do with this. Xiaolu's main task during this period of time is to influence the situation of the battle.
******
1. The incident in southern Anhui of the New Fourth Army was the result of many factors, and it is really complicated.
2, Liu Hou surrendered to the enemy after killing people, and the gold money watch was not obtained in the end, but was locked up in the gold scum cave prison. In the end, it was said that he died in the Sichuan Rebellion. According to another theory, Liu Houzong fled into seclusion and was arrested in Jiangxi in 1952, Chen Yi learned that he personally interrogated, and Liu Houzong was executed in Nanchang in the same year. The second statement is more credible because there are witnesses.
