Even if Yan Xishan personally persuaded him, Feng Yuxiang still had the same attitude. The most he could do was say one more sentence: "My surname is Feng. I still need a few people to look after my home and care for my home. I can't destroy all the troops and only one person is left." Yard, why don¡¯t you let wild dogs drag me outside and eat me?¡±
Yan Xishan was so angry that he almost turned against him, but he was worried that others would see the joke, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.
In any case, the gap between them exists, and it is getting deeper and deeper.
When the news of Fu Zuoyi's uprising came, Yan Xishan was furious, and Zhang Xueliang was even more furious. Not only did he think Fu Zuoyi was unkind and failed to live up to their expectations, he also hated Fu Zuoyi. Yan Xishan didn't know people well and thought Yan Xishan was stupid: just a second before Fu Zuoyi sent the call, Yan Xishan was still giving orders to the troops, asking them to strictly obey Fu Zuoyi's command, claiming that He has authorized Fu Zuoyi to kill those who do not obey the command first and then punish him.
Damn it, isn¡¯t Yan Laoxi just trying to sideline the deputy commander by doing this? Isn't it just that the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army general should be turned into a decoration? Isn't it just to make Fu Zuoyi the absolute commander of the supporting army? Isn't it just to let Fu Zuoyi be arbitrary?
Okay, now you see the result? He didn't command the troops to rescue the besieged Northeastern Army at all, but led the troops to defect to the enemy to help the enemy. Now let's see what you, Yan Laoxi, have to say.
Feng Yuxiang was surprised and could only sneer. Occasionally, he was glad that he did not give up his idea. Fortunately, he did not obey Yan Xishan's request to send the Northwest Army. If he did, wouldn't it be like a meat bun and a dog with no return? Humph, I have to ask him carefully. What do you think about Fu Zuoyi¡¯s investment?
The three people were only busy thinking about how to save themselves. No one even considered the Japanese occupation of Northeast China.
¡¡
Guo Zhuocheng, who was on the front line, could be described as surprised, happy and embarrassed about Fu Zuoyi's uprising.
It¡¯s easy to understand being surprised and happy. After all, so many troops suddenly changed from enemies to our own, and the territory they occupied suddenly became our own territory. The Red Army's front suddenly stretched from Xinyang to near Wuhan and Hefei. Countless battles have been avoided, a large amount of food, grass and ammunition have been saved, and the losses of the common people have been reduced. This result is very good, and of course it is a surprise.
But Guo Zhuocheng was a little embarrassed. why? It's just that the positions of Fu Zuoyi and his officers are not easy to arrange.
If they are captured officers and soldiers, it is easy to deal with them. Whether it is putting them in prison, assigning them some positions, or demobilizing them, they have no objection. Of course, even if they have opinions, they won't speak out. What can they do if their skills are inferior to others? Even if you are mean to them, others will not have a problem with it.
Only when you kill too many people will say you are cruel and brutal. It is likely to have some impact on the battlefield in the future. If the enemy is defeated, he will not resist desperately. If you don't handle the enemy well, you may fight to the end.
"But Guo Zhuocheng and the Red Army generals are not bloodthirsty, so this problem does not exist.
But. The uprising personnel cannot be treated so hastily. It is definitely not a question of whether to kill them or not, but a question of how to respect them. Not only the officers who were revolting were watching, but also the people in the opposing camp were watching, especially those who had similar thoughts and wanted to revolt, silently comparing them in their hearts. If it is handled well, it can greatly encourage other people to revolt and surrender. If it is not handled well, no one will rise in the future.
According to the previous practice of the Red Army, the officers who rebelled were kept in their original positions. In many cases, their troops were kept as they were and allowed to continue to lead. Even if their troops were to be transformed, their consent was required. Arrangements in important positions must be obeyed by them.
Because there were very few surrenders from the Central Army to the Red Army before, there were no Central Army units above the regiment level that surrendered, and there were no uprisings in the Central Army, so there was no difficulty in position arrangement.
But now there's trouble. Fu Zuoyi is the temporary group army commander appointed by the puppet president Yan Xishan. He is also in charge of two armies and several divisions, but he has a higher level than army commander. He gets the red- On the military side, that is a position higher than General Lin, General Peng, and Guo Zhuocheng, almost equivalent to Commander-in-Chief Zhu.
Of course, this is also related to the level confusion on the Red Army side. Because the Red Army has few people and few troops, it does not have any group army. The largest unit is the legion or army, and the current army has not yet been fully formed. Under formation. We must know that when the main force of the Central Red Army arrived in Sichuan, there were only more than 30,000 people in total. How could it be possible to form a group army? The conditions are not enough.
If Fu Zuoyi, who came out of the uprising, is allowed to retain his original position, it will be a joke: his position will suddenly surpass that of Mr. Lin, Mr. Peng and others.??.
Even if Fu Zuoyi's group army is regarded as a military-level unit, he will be on the same level as Mr. Lin and Mr. Peng. In the future, when the whole country is liberated, won't he be a marshal-level figure? Although Fu Zuoyi will definitely be able to make military exploits in this position in the future, and he may be popular when he is evaluated as a marshal in the future, but it is absolutely unfair to Mr. Lin, Mr. Peng and others that he suddenly occupies a military-level position now.
Now, whether Mr. Lin, Mr. Peng, or Guo Zhuocheng, one of their divisions can tie up with Fu Zuoyi's group army. The longer time goes by, the stronger Fu Zuoyi's group army will be. Weak, a single division of the Red Army can finally defeat it.
It can be said that if Fu Zuoyi serves as a military-level general, in addition to having political significance, it will not only be unfair to the military-level generals of the Red Army, but also unfair to the division-level generals of the Red Army.
These generals, such as Mao Runtan, Su Yu, Liu Zhidan and other famous generals, although they are only at the deputy or division level, they have risked their lives and fought for the revolution for many years. Their contribution to the Red Army But it is immeasurable that without these people fighting without sacrifice and without their efforts regardless of remuneration, it is difficult to say whether the Chinese revolution could persist to this day.
No matter how great Fu Zuoyi's contribution is, it can only be said to be the icing on the cake. It cannot determine the direction of the Chinese revolution or the life or death of the Red Army.
But it would not be good to arrange Fu Zuoyi's position too low. Because Fu Zuoyi's arrangement is a benchmark and a comparison standard for other uprising generals in the future. In the future, if someone with a higher position than Fu Zuoyi leads an uprising with more troops, what should be done? You must know that there are many people with higher positions than Fu Zuoyi in China, not only the military but also the government. For example, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Song Ziwen, Lin Sen, Zhang Qun
Instead of handing over the conflict, Guo Zhuocheng personally talked to Fu Zuoyi for a long time and talked from the bottom of his heart. Talk about the Red Army's arrangements for him personally, and the Red Army's arrangements for the entire insurgent force.
What makes Guo Zhuocheng happy and gratified is that Fu Zuoyi happily accepted Guo Zhuocheng's suggestion. Without selfishness, he agreed that Guo Zhuocheng would put himself in his shoes and think for him.
??Fu Zuoyi is also a smart man. He knows that he will not be able to hold a military-level position after the uprising. He has worked hard for so many years and is not incapable. Why should he hand over the top position to you all of a sudden? I will stay here for the rest of my life. If I really sit in a position that everyone is jealous of, won't I become the target of public criticism? Temporary happiness will only be exchanged for a lifetime of instability. Maybe you will be killed by a jealous person at some point, and you will not be able to find anyone to complain to.
Besides, he also knew that his army was a ragtag group of people whose combat effectiveness was not at the same level as that of the Red Army. If the Red Army really asked him to lead his troops to complete combat missions at the level of the Red Army, others would definitely laugh at them. At that time, we will definitely lose our troops and become despondent. It is better to lead a smaller and more capable army, slowly grow up, and then compete with other brothers and rely on our true ability to win the battle here. Side footing.
With Fu Zuoyi's consent, Guo Zhuocheng immediately convened a meeting of the uprising generals above the regiment level to announce their position arrangements: all generals who were at or above the army level in the original army will be regarded as corps-level generals, and those with positions below the army level will be regarded as corps-level generals. All are determined based on actual positions. After confirming their positions, generals at all levels were lowered to three levels when arranging positions in the Red Army. That is, corps-level generals passed over the corps level, deputy corps level, and division level, and were reduced to deputy division level appointments; deputy corps level was reduced to Appointed at regiment level; division level reduced to deputy regiment level; and so on.
For platoon-level officers, they are reduced to deputy class cadres, while cadres at the deputy platoon level and below no longer retain the officer rank. They can choose to join ordinary soldiers or retire. If you are an ordinary soldier, you will enjoy the right to be promoted first in the future. If you choose to retire, you will retain your status as a cadre. It is recommended that local governments prioritize work arrangements.
As soon as this decision was announced, the generals had mixed emotions. Some were happy, some were calm, some were dissatisfied, and some were angry. However, no matter whether they were happy or angry, they did not make any moves. At most, they showed their emotions on their faces. To be honest, They still don't know the nature of the Red Army, and they don't know if they will be used as a thorn in their side and killed if they overact.
And Guo Zhuocheng didn¡¯t give them much face. The more than 30,000 troops they brought were screened, mainly for physical and cultural qualities. Less than half were left, and the rest were demobilized. The army was also disbanded and re-established. Except for generals who received formal training in military schools who could serve as chief officers in the army, other generals could only serve as deputy chief officers or staff officers, but their ranks were retained.
As a result, many rebellious officers were even more unhappy and reported to their new units in frustration. Some brave officers also proposed to retire and no longer work in the army, and were willing to return to their places. Some even proposed to return to the territory currently occupied by the Kuomintang troops. place.
The Red Army will satisfy all their demands. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
