    Under Yang Zhenshu's repeated tricks, Li Yanping's complaint meeting was quite successful.  [.Com text] Not only successfully won most of the prisoners of the Puppet Manchukuo Army to join the army, but also successfully dug up a big fish and captured a Puppet Manchukuo colonel and chief of staff of the brigade.

    These puppet Manchukuo officers, especially the chief of staff who was a brigade commander from the old Northeast Army, were subjected to strict and detailed interrogation, relying on the fact that the top adviser to the Japanese army stationed in the brigade was his teacher from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School as a backstage.  Afterwards, Yang Zhen and Li Yanping jointly signed the execution document.  Execute them all.

    This grievance meeting not only made most of the captured ordinary Puppet Manchukuo soldiers volunteer to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, it also spread it through the mouths of the Puppet Manchukuo military and police personnel who found various reasons not to stay, giving those Puppet Manchukuo traitors the ultimate blow.  Big shock.  It's just that while everything has a good side, it often has some negative effects.

    Yang Zhen was indeed right. The commander-in-chief was extremely angry that Yang Zhen executed the captured officers of the company and above of the puppet Manchukuo army without asking for instructions, including some officers at the squad and platoon level, especially a brigade chief of staff.

    ¡°Only in this matter, out of the need to maintain Yang Zhen¡¯s prestige, as the commander-in-chief¡¯s old subordinates, both Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu concealed it from the commander-in-chief.  The rest of the cadres and soldiers, not to mention the old cadres who had been following Yang Zhen, even those who came from the Anti-Japanese Alliance, also worked together to help conceal it out of hatred for the traitors.

    When the commander-in-chief rushed over after receiving the report from his own guards, he only saw the corpses of a dozen Puppet Manchukuo officers on the ground who had been picked with bayonets.  For these traitors, Yang Zhen would not give up precious bullets.

    The commander-in-chief pointed at the corpses on the ground and said angrily to Yang Zhen and Li Yanping: "What are you doing? Do you still want the party's policies? Do you still want discipline? You are not bandits, you are revolutionary soldiers.  Do you know how passive your efforts to win over pseudo-personnel will be in the future?¡±

    After the collective criticism, the commander-in-chief called the names one by one.  The first person named was Yang Zhen.  The commander-in-chief, who knew his old subordinates Li Yanping and Wang Guangyu well, knew that they did not have the courage to execute prisoners without asking for permission.  The one who made this decision was probably the bold young leader in front of him.

    "Commander Yang, you are good at killing prisoners. Is this what you learned from the Party Central Committee? Is this how our Party Central Committee conducts its work against the enemy? I don't believe that our party does the prisoner policy?"

    "You are someone who has worked for the Central Committee, no matter what the reason is for you to come to the Northeast. But do you know that although you were just an ordinary grassroots cadre before, in the hearts of many anti-union soldiers, what you did  It represents the Party Central Committee. Do you know what impact this will have on them?"

    Seeing that the commander-in-chief was the first to point his gun at Yang Zhen, Li Yanping, who had been preparing to explain, breathed a sigh of relief: "The commander-in-chief is still a sensible person and knows who did this." He was just glad to return home  Fortunately, Li Yanping still had to find a way to defend Yang Zhen to the commander-in-chief.

    But before Li Yanping, who was racking his brains to think of how to defend Yang Zhen, could think of a way, he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief who had criticized Yang Zhen would target him again: "And you, Li Yanping, you are  You are a veteran party member and a senior cadre of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. You don¡¯t know our policy of fighting against the enemy. Who gives you the courage to do this?¡±

    "You are his political commissar. When he makes a mistake, why don't you stop him? He is young and energetic, and you are young and energetic too? Is this the level of your political commissar? Is this how you work? If so, I want you as a political commissar.  What¡¯s the use?¡±

    "And you, Wang Guangyu, you are an old subordinate of mine and a former division political commissar. You are also the only one among the five of you who has truly served as a senior political cadre. Why didn't you stop something like this if it happened?  Are you helping them hide it? Where have you learned your policy?¡±

    Among Yang Zhen's command team, except for Guo Bingxun, who was not a party member and was from a friendly army, the commander-in-chief had some taboos and did not criticize, and Peng Dingjie, who was not present because he stayed in the secret camp, the other three people were all named and severely criticized by the commander-in-chief.  Read it again.

    In response to the commander-in-chief¡¯s anger, Yang Zhen put on an ostrich posture and didn¡¯t respond at all. Instead, he turned his attention to Li Yanping, who was blushing and being reprimanded by the commander-in-chief. He pursed his lips and motioned for him to explain.

    Seeing Yang Zhen¡¯s gesture, Li Yanping could only smile bitterly.  He knew the commander-in-chief's character very well, but he did not dare to explain it when the commander-in-chief was angry.  Although the commander-in-chief's words were serious, he was a little worried that Yang Zhen wouldn't be able to accept them.  But he really didn't have the courage to persuade him at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and wait for the commander-in-chief's anger to subside before speaking out the words he had discussed with Yang Zhen.In fact, Yang Zhen was not angry at the somewhat harsh criticism from the commander-in-chief, but was actually very happy.  The commander-in-chief¡¯s outspoken criticism in person shows that the commander-in-chief is an aboveboard person. He will speak up in person if he has anything to say and will not make small moves behind his back.

    No matter whether you regard them as real superiors or nominal superiors.  Having such a superior is always much better and safer than those who specialize in making small moves behind the scenes, who are always on the line, who are not good at fighting, but are very good at making small moves.  At least when I'm fighting in the front, I don't have to worry about someone behind me doing something wrong.

    No wonder later generations know the history. Although the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army is not the most reputable among the Third Route Army of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, his reputation within the army, especially among the Second Route Army, is far higher than that of the Third Route Army.  The few people in the Route Army who claim to be Marxist-Leninist experts are much taller.  It is also more popular.  The Second Route Army also had the least amount of political struggle.  Having such a superior always makes people feel more at ease.

    After listening to Li Yanping's explanation, the commander-in-chief's gloomy face, although still gloomy, has improved a lot.  After his face softened, the commander-in-chief also knew that his tone was a bit harsh. He was originally worried that Yang Zhen was young and energetic and would not be able to accept his criticism.

    I just didn't expect that after being criticized, Yang Zhen neither showed that he could not accept it nor that he had a deep understanding of the serious mistakes he had made. Instead, he showed a proud look.  .

    Looking at Yang Zhen who looked triumphant after being criticized, the commander-in-chief, whose anger had calmed down a bit, almost didn't become furious again.  If Li Yanping hadn't given him a gentle tug next to him, I'm afraid Yang Zhen would have been criticized again.  It was the first time that Yang Zhen, at least in the Second Route Army, could make the commander-in-chief, who was gentle, always calm and rarely angry, angry like this.

    Seeing that his criticism did not have much effect on this guy, and it was difficult to criticize anymore, the commander-in-chief, who always wanted to save some face for the young general, had no choice but to point at Yang Zhen with a wry smile and said: "You  This guy can fight well, but you are quite thick-skinned."

    "Your ideas are good, but I don't agree with the methods you adopt. Since the main leaders of your regiment have reached a unified opinion on this matter, I will not pursue it any further. You are still young, and according to your abilities, you will be able to  Go further. No matter whether I can see you or not when you reach the position of senior general, I still have some advice for you to remember."

    "Whether you think these advices are the advice of a veteran soldier, an old party member, or the kindness of a big brother, I hope you can remember him."

    "The fight against the enemy is an extremely complicated matter, and it cannot be solved by killing alone. You are a military commander and the military chief of the army. What you do must play a good role for the following.  To serve as an example and take the lead, you should not rely solely on your own whim. You should consider other aspects in everything you do, especially the work against the enemy.¡±

    "If we all worked against the enemy like you, I'm afraid you would have killed all the people you want to win over. Unfortunately, those who are qualified to be fought over by you are all within the scope of your execution."

    "As a senior commander, you must be calm under any circumstances. Only by being calm and considering things more comprehensively can you be more comprehensive. In many cases, relying solely on military means cannot solve all problems. For those puppet military and political personnel  , As long as it's not a heinous crime, we should try our best. You know the party's current policies better than I do. I hope you can take more time to study them. "

    At this point, the commander-in-chief sighed and said: "I have decided to select the director of the Political Department of the Third Division of the Fifth Army and a regiment political commissar to go to Shandong and Hebei in search of the Party Central Committee according to the method you mentioned. I hope this  Don¡¯t let us down again.¡±

    Yang Zhen still listened to the commander-in-chief¡¯s advice.  He still knew that killing was not the only way to solve the problem.  But Yang Zhen has always believed that with the current severe situation in Northeast China, we must not be lenient to those traitors who are in trouble.

    If you want to break the enemy's strict rule and obtain the environment needed for your troops to survive, you can only take serious illness and take strong medicine.  But these words, when spoken by the commander-in-chief now, may be another lecture.  After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen swallowed back the words that had reached his lips.  He was somewhat dissatisfied, but Yang Zhen still showed humility on his face.

    Looking at Yang Zhen¡¯s humility and attitude, the commander-in-chief shook his head. He didn¡¯t know how much Yang Zhen would listen to his advice.  However, this matter was not pursued further.

    ??????????????????????????After reading the interrogation records of the officers, the commander-in-chief's face turned ugly.  After obtaining the confessions of the prisoners of the Japanese Eighth Regiment who participated in the clearing of Xiajiang area, the commander-in-chief's face turned from ugly to livid.

    From the results of the interrogation of the Japanese and puppet troops, the commander-in-chief knew that except for a very small number of troops left by his Second Route Army in the Xiajiang area who hid in the mountains and old forests and continued to fight, the rest of the troops except for a small number were captured and surrendered to the enemy.  Most of them died.

    The troops of the Seventh Army and the few remnants of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army that had withdrawn to the Fujin and Tongjiang areas, after suffering heavy losses, were already being chased and intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops who had an absolute advantage, and could almost be said to be in a desperate situation.

    Since the failure of the Western Expedition, the whereabouts of the commander of the Fifth Army, who had been out of contact, and some of the troops under his command were also verified from the mouths of these prisoners.  They were pursued by the Japanese and puppet troops. Unable to escape from the pursuit, they had no choice but to cross the river and retreat into the Soviet Union for temporary refuge.

    In order to break the Japanese and puppet army's suppression campaign, the main force of the Third Route Army, which also carried out the Western Expedition, also suffered heavy losses.  Although the losses were less than those of the Second Route Army, they were still in trouble.  Although the Western Expedition was partially successful, it failed to completely free the Third Route Army from its predicament. On the contrary, it suffered heavy losses during the Western Expedition due to cold and hunger.

    Although the Third Route Army, which was relatively stronger in strength, avoided the huge losses suffered by the Second Route Army during the Western Expedition, its total strength dropped sharply from more than 2,000 before the Western Expedition to less than 800.  Many division cadres died, and the ability to continue operations was lost within a short period of time.  The losses of the remaining troops were even more severe.  Two division commanders rebelled one after another, causing hundreds of troops of the Third Route Army who stayed in Xiajiang to die.  The few surviving troops were forced to retreat into the Soviet Union.

    Now facing the remnants of the Second Route Army, headed by the Seventh Army, which has retreated to the Fujin and Tongjiang areas, is facing an extremely severe situation of being short of food and ammunition, without supplies, and without friendly forces to support them.  Whether to die in battle or to find another way out and give the troops at least some rest time has almost become the most difficult choice for the commander-in-chief.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the situation would change so drastically. The Second Route Army and the Third Route Army operating in northern Manchuria failed one after another.  Except for some troops of the Third Route Army who retreated to the Heinen area, most of the anti-alliance armies originally active in the Xiajiang area died, some rebelled, and only a small number of troops retreated to the Soviet Union.  It can be said that the anti-Japanese struggle in the Xiajiang area is close to failure.

    Although he has always wanted to know the situation of the Third Route Army and has been looking for the lost troops of the Fifth Army, when he learned from the enemy that he wanted to know everything about the commander-in-chief, because of the rapid deterioration of the situation, he suddenly became old.  many.

    Yang Zhen, who had already read the interrogation records, naturally knew the change in the commander-in-chief's expression.  But the matter has reached this point. Without direct contact with the Seventh Army, Yang Zhen is beyond his reach to deal with the difficulties faced by the Seventh Army.  He was even more helpless about the difficulties faced by the Third Route Army.

    After pondering for a long time, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to the Commander-in-Chief, who had suddenly aged by more than ten years: "Commander-in-Chief, it's time to make up his mind."

    The commander-in-chief who had had a long conversation with him naturally knew what Yang Zhen meant by making up his mind.  It's just that this determination is really difficult for the commander-in-chief to make.

    After hesitating for a long time, the commander-in-chief shook his head decisively and said: "If they withdraw across the river, you will really become alone in the entire lower river area. It is difficult to support a lonely tree. They left the lower river area, although their strength was greatly reduced.  , but it is still a support for you, and it can at least attract some of the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops."

    Having said this, the commander-in-chief raised his head, looked at Yang Zhen expectantly and said: "Xiao Yang, this is the first time I call you this. I know you have a lot of clever ideas. Today I am not speaking in the name of the commander-in-chief, I am just speaking in the name of a  As an ordinary veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, I ask you, do you have any solution to the plight of the Seventh Army? "

    Although he couldn't bear the desire for the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen finally shook his head and said: "Commander-in-Chief, I understand what you said. I also know what will be waiting for us after the Seventh Army withdraws?"

    "But Commander-in-Chief, we are really beyond our reach now and can do nothing. If the Seventh Army can persist for another half year, the situation may be improved. But now time waits for no one, and the situation of the Seventh Army waits for no one. If we persist, it will not take days.  The puppet army encircled and suppressed the seven armies, even if they were frozen and hungry."

    "Even if we attack, we can attract some Japanese and puppet troops, but our strength is limited after all. Even if we are covered in iron, how many nails can we drive? There are more than 100,000 Japanese puppet troops in Northern Manchuria. How many more can we attract? Besides, the Japanese army  We are still adding more troops.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen looked at the commander-in-chief's expression of disappointment, which was expected but extremely disappointing. He gritted his teeth and said: "Commander-in-Chief, don't be too disappointed. There is nothing we can do. I promise you, as long as seven  Can the army stillIf it lasts for half a year, no, as long as three to five months, I will work hard to find ways to restore the anti-Japanese situation in the Xiajiang area.  But now what I need is time.  "
