The Red Army not only allowed them to retire and return to their hometowns, but also paid different amounts of travel expenses according to different levels, and the amount exceeded their imagination.
These officers and soldiers originally thought that the Red Army was poor and had no money, but they did not expect that when they handed out Guangyang, they sent them one letter after another. This made many officers who were about to leave feel that something was wrong: "They are giving out money so generously, isn't it?" Have you wanted us to leave for a long time? Do you want us not to work in their army? "
Such people obviously have an inferiority complex, thinking that the Red Army looks down on them, and that the Red Army will drive them away like a plague.
Some people are muttering in their hearts: "Is it better to stay in the Red Army instead of taking this money? Now that I have taken so much money and left, will I regret it in the future?" Because of thinking this way, some people I started to back off, and I was going to take a look at the situation first.
When they arrived at the army, when they saw the equipment of the Red Army, when they saw the treatment of the Red Army officers and soldiers, they realized that they had come to the army at the right time: How could such good weapons and equipment and such good treatment be enough? What about leaving? It would be unreasonable to stay in this kind of army and not win the war. If you work here for a few years, you can make a lot of money for your family and find a way out for future generations. How great.
At the same time, they also found that it was appropriate to downgrade their level by three levels, because the combat effectiveness of this unit was much stronger than their original unit, with weapons and equipment they had never seen before, and the new tactics and methods it brought. They have never been exposed to it. If they are allowed to lead troops rashly, there is no telling how many jokes will be made. You must learn it yourself. Study hard. Only in this way can we gain a foothold in such an army.
The officer is like this. Even more so for those soldiers.
At the beginning, the soldiers regarded themselves as government troops, thinking that although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Red Army, their status was high. However, when I saw the weapons and equipment of the Red Army, what they usually ate and what they wore, I couldn't help but feel ashamed. I dare say that I am the beggar army and I am the old fool.
Within a few days, these revolting generals and their soldiers calmed down. They felt that they had come to the right place. Fortunately, they had revolted. Otherwise, they would have beaten the Red Army to pieces and had to fight under their hands. When a soldier is defeated, he will either be killed or captured.
¡¡
Guo Zhuocheng reported to Chongqing after handling the uprising officers and soldiers.
For his self-initiated behavior, the great people in Chongqing did not blame him, but thought he handled it well. Take the bad guys alone, otherwise they would really have trouble dealing with these rebellious officers and soldiers.
In particular, Guo Zhuocheng proposed that all generals at and above the military level should be regarded as military-level generals. This clears the way for the future acceptance of senior officials from other forces and paves the way for the future acceptance of other senior officials.
At that time, if you feel that a certain person who came from the uprising has really contributed a lot and is of great significance, and arrange him on the same level or downgrade him, it will be a favor. It is an extra favor shown by his superiors, and everything he does is a favor. .
When dealing with Fu Zuoyi's uprising troops, Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army did not rest. They followed the territory and roads ceded by the uprising officers and soldiers and penetrated southeastward on October 25, 1936. The Japanese troops approached Feicheng, but the Nanjing government still did not calm down. Instead of improving, their panic spread to a wider and wider area.
Just when Guo Zhuocheng's Third Army was approaching Hefei City, President Lin's First Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army also arrived in Wuhan two days later. As always in history, Mr. Lin's ability to expand troops is unmatched. After wiping out the Hunan Army in Hunan, his troops have already exceeded 30,000 and reached a staggering 100,000. The extent of the army.
Including Chen Yi and Su Yu¡¯s tens of thousands of troops, a total of 130,000 elite troops surrounded the three towns of Wu and Han, and countless black holes were aimed at the enemy¡¯s positions.
Mr. Lin used a clear code to communicate with the defenders of Wu-Han. This message was very short, and it can be regarded as one of the shortest messages to persuade people to surrender in the world: "Surrender? As soon as possible!"
From the punctuation to the text, there are five words in total. Originally, Chen Yi said that just writing two words would be "early", but Mr. Lin thought that if he only wrote these two words, it would easily confuse the defenders. They would spend time thinking about what is "early" and "escape early"? Is it too early to start the war? Or commit suicide as soon as possible?
It is not a gentleman's way to make the other party so entangled and waste their brains, so the text in the telegram was one-third longer.
In fact, there are not many defenders in the three towns of Wu and Han, although this is a very important city. The reason is actually easy to understand, because whether it is Yan Xishan or Zhang Xueliang, they were all frightened by the fierce offensive of the Red Army. What they are most concerned about now is Nanjing, the capital city. Scattered on the periphery, when the periphery fails, Nanjing will become an empty shell, and the Red Army can attack at any time.?They captured.
Nanjing is a symbol of their power. As long as they hold Nanjing, their power will be legitimate and they will have a righteous name. If Nanjing is lost, no matter how powerful it is, it will be nothing more than a local government. Local warlords have no power to command the whole country and have no ability to collect tax money from all parts of the country.
No matter the dynasty, righteousness is very important. This is what is meant by the so-called unjust name and unjust words.
In this case, Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang will naturally defend Nanjing to ensure the stability of Nanjing.
Therefore, when General Lin ordered the artillery to fire thousands of artillery pieces, the defenders of the three towns of Wu and Han began to fall apart, and troops began to rush to surrender. Many Northeastern and Northwest armies simply became the leading party and actively asked to serve as The vanguard troops attacked the inner positions of Wuhan.
The troops led by Mr. Lin, Chen Yi, and Su Yu had to move their positions forward ahead of schedule, and constantly moved the artillery positions forward and forward.
Although Mr. Lin doesn't like to look happy, his actions still inevitably reveal his innermost feelings. In the past, many decisions were made after careful consideration, but now he is more casual and adopts the opinions of his subordinates in real time. Now I often hear The answer is: "Okay! Okay! Go up a little bit! Get a little closer! Prisoners? Surrendered officers and soldiers? You just deal with it. If you are useful, you can incorporate it into your army. If you are not useful, send it off. They can go wherever they want." , ignore them.¡±
As for those who were worried that the demobilized prisoners would rejoin the Northeast Army, Northwest Army or Jin Army, Mr. Lin waved his hand magnanimously and said: "Okay, better, they no longer have the guts to fight us. Joining their old army is It just gives us a few more civilians and a few more people to help us transport weapons and ammunition. Maybe they are still our propaganda team. If we tell them a few more times that we are powerful, their military morale will become even more unstable. This Isn¡¯t that a good thing?¡±
In Mr. Lin¡¯s eyes, Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang are already fish on the chopping board, ready to be sliced ??and scaled, steamed or braised, and eaten at will.
Lin is always so relaxed, but Guo Zhuocheng is not so casual. He arrived at Hefei City with one infantry ahead of Mr. Lin, but his third army encountered much greater resistance than Mr. Lin's first army.
It can be seen from the map that Hefei is already the west and north gate of Nanjing. Once Hefei is lost, Nanjing will have lost its two barriers, and Nanjing will become an isolated city. .
Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, Feng Yuxiang and others were naturally unwilling to fail. In order to save the city, they made the decision to defend Hefei, and Feng Yuxiang personally took command. In addition, they have also specially formed the power to shoot all officers and soldiers who dare to refuse to execute orders, delay fighter planes, propagate fear of the enemy, and neglect to perform tasks.
In order to defend Hefei, the Nanjing government continuously transferred troops from other places here. Its total strength reached 200,000, as well as 35 aircraft and 18 vehicles collected from all over the country. Tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces.
In addition to the fact that Hefei is the gateway to the west and north of Nanjing, which led the Nanjing government to mobilize heavy troops here, another reason is that these troops are led by Guo Zhuocheng, and they can only use their greatest strength to attack them. block.
Since his debut, Guo Zhuocheng has been sweeping all enemies with devastating moves. During the Battle of Xiangjiang, only one battalion occupied the artillery position of the Gui Army, and then expanded the army on the spot. He actually led a group of rabble to kill a main division of the Gui Army, and then raided Jianghua County and killed two soldiers of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army. With one division, they made a long-distance attack and easily captured Ganzhou. In a few hours, Song Xilian's main division was wiped out and occupied the city of Ganzhou that Jiang Gai had run for many years.
Not to mention that the troops led by Guo Zhuocheng occupied Hengyang, destroyed Xue Yue, then stole Chongqing, and annihilated the tax police headquarters face to face, swallowing up Chiang Kai-shek's last powerful mobile force, causing Chiang Kai-shek to easily He was ousted by Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang and handed over the presidential throne.
Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, and Feng Yuxiang did not want to repeat the same mistakes, and they did not want to be destroyed by Guo Zhuocheng, so they regarded him as the biggest and most dangerous enemy, and their main forces were mainly used to deal with him. In their view, to deal with Guo Zhuocheng, they should mobilize as many troops as possible, concentrate as many and the best weapons as possible, and try to eliminate Guo Zhuocheng as much as possible or at least block Guo Zhuocheng from Hefei City.
It can be said that, facing Guo Zhuocheng¡¯s murderous approach, Yan, Zhang and Feng reached a rare consensus: increase troops!
Guo Zhuocheng was aware of the large increase in enemies in Hefei. He believed that the capture of Hefei was basically a preview of the capture of Nanjing. Perhaps after capturing Hefei, the battle for Nanjing would be easy to capture. Much more relaxed.
