Among them, those anti-Japanese armed forces with good military discipline and popular support were given priority by the Kwantung Army to encircle and suppress them, while those bandits who hung anti-Japanese signs and harmed the people were temporarily let go by the Kwantung Army, so that the average quality of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast became worse and worse under the reverse elimination, and many leaders of the Anti-Japanese Federation at that time dogmatically stubbornly insisted on "maintaining the united front" and did not dare to exclude those so-called "friendly forces" who did evil and harmed the people from the ranks of the anti-Japanese army, so that the reputation of the anti-Japanese armed forces among the people in the northeast was getting worse day by dayIn some areas, it has become synonymous with bandits and robbers, and after a long time, even the Anti-Japanese Federation itself has been affected, not to mention that the organization of the Anti-Japanese Federation itself is relatively loose, and military discipline will naturally deteriorate, and once the people's army loses the support of the people, the consequences can be imagined. To sum up, Sasaki Toichi's policy was to make the people of Tohoku "unwilling" to support the anti-Japanese resistance

Later, Sasaki Toichi formulated the "Group Tribal Construction Jihua", adopting a policy of separating the "people and bandits" to directly separate the people from the anti-Japanese forces such as the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and this method was to make the people have no chance even if they were willing to resist Japan. These two jihua were vigorously implemented immediately after they were promulgated, and even when Sasaki left the Northeast, they were always implemented, and since then the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast such as the Anti-Japanese Federation have basically lost the support of the people of the Northeast. In addition, the Soviet Union from time to time erroneously intervened in the name of the Comintern against the Anti-Japanese Federation, which had lost contact with the Party Central Committee, and caused the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation to suffer a series of defeats. And the atmosphere of despair brought about by successive defeats has made many undetermined anti-coalition commanders and fighters feel double-minded. The increasing number of traitors made the situation of the Anti-Japanese Federation even worse, forming a vicious circle

When the plateau came to the northeast, the total number of troops of the anti-Japanese alliance that was once flourishing was less than 20,000, and the situation of other anti-Japanese armed forces was even more unbearable to witness, if we eliminated those bandits who hung anti-Japanese signs to do evil, I am afraid that there will be only a few teams left in the entire northeast, and the total is estimated to be no more than 2,000 people

What's even worse is that the anti-Japanese forces such as the Anti-Japanese Federation have gradually lost confidence after repeated defeats. Even Yang Jingyu and other important generals, who were still struggling to persevere, were unconsciously lost in the arduous battles and were only looking for opportunities to fight the devils and the puppet army, but they forgot the two points of preserving themselves and developing the ranks, especially the latter, which were the key to our army's victory. As a result, although there were occasional victories, the number of troops was getting smaller and smaller, and the Japanese were able to free up more and more mobile forces. The living space of the anti-union will be reduced and reduced. In the atmosphere of despair and in the difficult environment, even the backbone of the Anti-Japanese Federation began to fluctuate, and the question of traitors became the most direct threat to the development and even survival of the Anti-Japanese Federation

At the same time, due to the lack of strict organization and unified leadership for a long time, the internal mountains of the Anti-Japanese League, and the blind command of many airborne cadres who had made left-leaning mistakes in the past, caused heavy losses, which seriously damaged the party's prestige

In such a situation, if you only rely on doing work slowly, I am afraid that it has been destroyed by the devil before it is completed. Hu Weidong's suggestion that the central faction had a previous conviction of "suppressing rebellion" in the northeast was precisely in consideration of the current situation. Therefore, Gao Yuan quickly conducted a vigorous and resolute review of the confrontation alliance, and as a result, he actually found out Cheng Bin, the commander of the first division of the First Army, a big traitor at the beginning

Cheng Bin has followed Yang Jingyu since he was a child, and has a close relationship with him like a master and apprentice, like a father and son, and has become Yang Jingyu's right-hand man in the past two years. After Cheng Bin was arrested, Yang Jingyu couldn't believe it at all, and said on the spot that he was willing to guarantee with his life that Cheng Bin did not defect, but the hard-hearted Gao Yuan did not hesitate to order the interrogation to continue. Although Cheng Bin is as cunning as a fox, after all, he is a thief, and Gao Yuan has brought more than 300 special cadres who are good at political censorship and intelligence work in the northeast, and Cheng Bin has resisted stubbornly for a day and a night. Finally exposed under Hu Weidong's "fatigue interrogation method", several responsible cadres immediately made persistent efforts to further exert psychological pressure on Cheng Bin, with the emergence of loopholes in Cheng Bin's words one after another, even Yang Jingyu, who did not want to believe that he was a traitor, finally realized that this child really had a secret relationship with the devil...,

Although Yang Jingyu regarded Cheng Bin as his own, he was a true patriot and a red party member, and after confirming Cheng Bin's crime, even though his heart was like a knife, he still personally executed him. And Cheng Bin is not an exception, after a month of strict investigation, the traitors with conclusive evidence in the Anti-Japanese Federation were actually found out more than 100 people, and more than 100 although their defections could not be confirmed, but they all had suspicious problems and they could not explain clearly, the two added up to no less than 300 people, Zuihou was all executed by the plateau on the grounds of "using heavy codes in troubled times", and the majority of commanders and fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation could not help but fear and hate this new commander.

However, Gao Yuan soon used those traitors to fight several victories in a row, although the enemy was not very many, but it was rare that the casualties were small and the capture was large, which made Yang Jingyu and others who had fallen into a misunderstanding of the development strategy of the Anti-United Nations before, and also temporarily dispelled the pessimistic atmosphere that filled the ranks of the Anti-United Nations, and the thunderous means of directly executing a commander of the Anti-United Nations who did not obey orders in the battle played a good role in killing chickens and monkeys, and since then the Anti-United Nations has become more and more afraid of the plateau. And the original resentment has turned into respect with victory after victory

In addition to his own character and the lessons learned in the Dabie Mountain base area, having enough force in his hands to suppress the mutiny is also an indispensable and important factor. Regardless of the hundreds of cadres, the more than 800 special combat personnel under Xu Chengji alone are already a very powerful Liliang, and if we take into account their sophisticated equipment (Note 1), if they are fighting head-on, all the original nearly 20,000 people mobilized by the Anti-Japanese Federation may not be their opponents, and this is the biggest hole card of the plateau.

Note 1: Because the Soviet-based firearms and bullets can be universal, although the magazine standards obtained from the Soviet Union are different, they only need to be transformed into a magazine drum chain by the military personnel accompanying the army according to the ammunition supply method of the rifle machine gun, so the special forces are still all Bayi-style gun families, and considering that the northeast base area has no conditions for production, it specially brought some more, such a powerful infantry firepower, not to mention the comparison with the Anti-United Nations, even compared with the Kwantung Army, also has a huge advantage. As for the drawback of the large consumption of bullets in automatic rifles, since the special forces are veterans of many battles, the waste of bullets is rare (you are welcome to come to your support, which is my biggest motivation. )
