Liao Lei was a cadre general of the Gui department, listed with Li Pinxian, and served as the commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the chairman of Anhui Province. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Participated in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou, established the anti-Japanese guerrilla base in Dabie Mountain, and served as the commander-in-chief of the guerrilla in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border area.

Compared with Li Pinxian, who has a poor character, Liao Lei has a frugal style of life, and the surplus military salaries saved by the army are returned to Guangxi to purchase more arms, and he never fills his own pockets. Moreover, he is diligent in military training, does not smile, and has clear rewards and punishments. Liao Lei has served as a company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, division commander, army commander and other positions because of his good management of the army.

And Liao Lei's greatest achievement should be the painstaking and lonely operation in the Dabie Mountain base area, and the result is that in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Anhui was able to keep most of the enemy behind the enemy. According to incomplete statistics, in 1939, among the 62 counties in Anhui Province, 35 were able to retain their integrity, 7 counties had traces of the enemy at the county border, and only 19 counties had the county seat entrenched by the enemy.

In September 1938, Liao Lei formed a guerrilla force in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui border region with the Seventh Army and the 48th Army of the Gui Department as the main trunks, plus some local teams.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. Although Yang Tianfeng has never met Liao Lei, his impression of Liao Lei is mostly based on information in his mind and rumors. However, he has several counties in northern Anhui, and he still has occasional telegraph contact with Liao Lei, the chairman of Anhui Province, and he also thinks that Liao Lei is a public-minded person.

Not to mention anything else, just based on Liao Lei's last words, he was thinking about the War of Resistance until he died, and he didn't explain to his wife and children, but "I can't do it anymore, I hope you will work hard to resist the war, and don't let the Japanese invaders enter Dabie Mountain." What is this, this is the integrity of a soldier to resist foreign aggression, this is patriotic loyalty that abandons personal feelings.

After the arrangement was almost done, Yang Tianfeng got up and walked to another quieter room, sat on the sofa and thought quietly.

The city cannot be defended, nor can it be defended. It was a last resort to cede the county seat, occupy the countryside, and engage in a long-term guerrilla war with the enemy. It is easy to say that it is easy to persuade the people to leave and avoid reprisals. But for ordinary people, it means leaving their hometowns, abandoning their families and businesses, and running to an unknown life.

But what else can we do? Will there be ordinary people who blame me and my anti-Japanese team, who have taken down the county town but can't hold it, punished the culprits, and will there be more vicious and cruel villains? What about another bloody revenge?

Yang Tianfeng's mind was churning, but when he thought of the "Imperial Hotel" specially set up by the devils in Sucheng, the poor women who were ravaged and even killed for resisting, and the family of three who were beheaded and displayed to the public just because they forgot to bow to the Japanese devils because they were in a hurry to go to the city to treat their children. Yang Tianfeng couldn't help but clench his teeth, and some contradictions or weak moods were instantly occupied by hatred.

Kill the devil, kill one more, and there will be one less evil beast in the world. I'm not wrong, is it wrong to liberate them from the cruel rule of the devils? No, by no means!

In this great patriotic war, in this national catastrophe, every Chinese with a conscience must have the consciousness of sacrificing material and even life.

I can't defend the county to protect you, I can't bet all the troops of the protracted war of resistance, but I can do my best to free you from the slavery of the devils in another way.

"Someone." Yang Tianfeng Huo Ran opened his eyes and said to the guards who came in response: "Inform Wang Xiangpu that I will hold a public trial meeting in the center of the city, and ask him to send someone to arrange and escort all the captured Japanese puppet soldiers." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Ask Staff Officer Xu to come, I still have orders to give." and Officer Xu, find him too. ”

…………

"The chief wants to kill prisoners publicly?" When Officer Xu of the Ministry of Political Work heard Yang Tianfeng's words, he was taken aback, and his eyes widened behind the lenses.

"It's not about killing prisoners, it's about killing war criminals." Yang Tianfeng waved his hand and explained in detail: "What is the definition of a prisoner of war, of course I know. However, there must be a question of differential treatment, which cannot be generalized. After World War I, the Paris Non-War Pact abolished the use of war as a means of pursuing national policy, thus expanding the scope of war crimes. ”

Looking at the bewildered Director Xu, Yang Tianfeng patiently explained: "War crimes refer to violations of the laws of war by the armies of belligerent countries, including the use of poisoned or other prohibited weapons, the killing or mistreatment of prisoners of war, and the attack, looting and massacre of civilians. For prisoners of war, we can deal with them in accordance with international conventions; But the perpetrators of war crimes will not be treated as prisoners of war, but will be tried for their crimes, and then—"

"Execution." Director Xu nodded, indicating that he understood what Yang Tianfeng meant.

Yang Tianfeng attaches great importance to political propaganda, and specially recruits some pen sticks to expose the cruel crimes of devils, publicize national heroes from ancient times to the present, and inspire the hatred and killing of the enemy among the soldiers. To this end, he also bought several cameras, two cameras, and equipped the troops with war correspondents to record the scenes of victory and boost the morale of the people; The sufferings of the common people were also filmed, accompanied by words, and widely disseminated in the base areas, creating an atmosphere in which all the people were soldiers and hated the same enemy.

Director Xu just now took someone to record materials in the "Imperial Hotel", and he saw the tragic situation of those ravaged women, and no one gritted his teeth with hatred.

Now when he heard Yang Tianfeng say this, he naturally agreed with it in his heart, but he was afraid of bringing any bad influence to Yang Tianfeng.

"Do you understand what I mean?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Yang Tianfeng nodded lightly and said, "Write down all the crimes committed by the devil in Suzhou, and resort to the newspaper, so that people all over the world will know." Moreover, it is necessary to kill, and to kill justified. It is carried out according to our military law, and the conviction is tried and convicted by a military judge. As for war crimes, they should also be elaborated on so that everyone agrees. In particular, it should be emphasized that the official status of the accused, regardless of their official position, should not be considered as a ground for exempting them from or mitigating punishment; Nor should an order from a government or a superior be used as a basis for exonerating the defendant from liability. ”

"Understood." Director Xu pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, I will first record and sort out the words of the chief and publish them in the newspaper." As for the details, please ask the chief to explain it at a later time. ”

"That's fine." Yang Tianfeng smiled faintly and said, "This matter must be done well, but there is no hurry." Devils are beasts who kill people and set fires, everyone knows this. They also don't admit that they have prisoners of war, so cutting off some heads is not as complicated and serious as you think. (To be continued.) )
