Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yang Zhen, who had some understanding of the central government's intentions, did not pay attention to the subtle changes in the central government's attitude. He just followed the central government's requirements and went to the junior branch of the Anti-Japanese University every day to teach grassroots cadres and commanders at all levels who were transferred back from the front line.  Various tactics courses, especially large corps combat command.  As for his initiative to go to southern Anhui for field inspection, he did not receive any response.

    Yang Zhen has never used the GAZ bulletproof vehicle assigned to him by the central government.  On weekdays, when I go to Kangda University to give lectures, I just ride two war horses borrowed from the Central Committee.  Yang Zhen, who was used to being busy, suddenly felt like he was enjoying this leisurely life.  Although he knew that his leisurely life could not last too long.

    The reason why the central government has yet to express its opinions and make arrangements for its next itinerary is probably because it is still thinking over and over again.  After all, sending oneself to southern Anhui is a crucial matter, and this determination is not too easy for the central government to make.

    But Yang Zhen estimated that by December at the latest, as the situation in southern Anhui continues to deteriorate, the central government will definitely agree to his request.  At least according to the history I know well in later generations, there must be a result before the Wannan Incident breaks out.  Sure enough, this kind of tranquility only lasted for a short period of time until one day in December, it was disrupted by a sudden summons from the central government.

    When Yang Zhen received the notice and hurried back to the central station from the Anti-Japanese University, he discovered that the faces of the chairman and commander-in-chief present were not very good.  Seeing the rather unkind expressions of the two chiefs, Yang Zhen, who had been receiving summaries of various situations from the New Fourth Army these days, immediately understood what had happened.

    Seeing Yang Zhen coming over, the chairman's somewhat gloomy expression relaxed a little and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, if the central government approves your plan, can you guarantee that you will go back safely? Ninety-nine percent of the time it won't work.  , 100% is not enough, only 200% safety is enough.¡±

    In response to the Chairman's straight-to-the-point statement, Yang Zhen paused and said, "Chairman, nothing is 100% certain in this world, and nothing is absolutely certain. But what I want to say is that as long as there is one percent possibility,  We also have to work hard. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as we are willing to climb it, how can we know that it is impossible.¡±

    Looking at Yang Zhen¡¯s resolute face, the chairman still seemed hesitant.  After a long time, he made up his mind and said: "Southern Anhui has rushed to repair a temporary airport. At the same time, the commander of the First Theater Zone has agreed that we use Luoyang Airport to refuel. We have also obtained the route map you need from Luoyang to Shangrao, Jiangxi."

    "After careful consideration, the central government decided to agree to your plan. This time the central government made great determination before agreeing to let you go to southern Anhui, so you must come back safely. Not only must you come back safely, but also  We must bring the New Fourth Army headquarters safely to Jiangbei."

    "The Central Committee decided to appoint you as the first political commissar of the New Fourth Army, the first secretary of the Southeast Bureau, and the first secretary of the New Fourth Army Military Branch, with full authority to preside over the work of the New Fourth Army. After you arrived in Wannan, you are now the first secretary of the Southeast Bureau and the first secretary of the New Fourth Army Military Branch.  and the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army will return to Yan'an with your special plane."

    After the chairman finished speaking, the commander-in-chief took over and said: "Comrade Yang Zhen, the situation in southern Anhui has changed dramatically this month. The New Fourth Army's military headquarters has agreed to go north, but there is still some hesitation about the route across the river. And the third  The war zone mobilized some troops from Zhejiang and rushed to southern Anhui. The encirclement of southern Anhui was basically completed, and the Japanese troops in the east also moved frequently and blocked most of the river. "

    "You have a heavy responsibility to go this time. Originally, the central government did not agree with your going to southern Anhui. As the commander of the Northeast Military Region, which is responsible for the military command of the largest and most important strategic area of ??the entire army, going to southern Anhui is not a good choice at this time. But  For the safety of the more than 9,000 cadres and soldiers in southern Anhui and a large number of intellectuals from the southeast, the central government has no choice but to put the burden on you."

    "As the Caodian anti-recalcitrant campaign conducted by the Jiangbei team of the New Fourth Army has ended, the third theater has now focused all its energy on southern Anhui. You must be more careful when you go. That is to say, we cannot give them the opportunity to provoke a civil war.  You cannot let it be destroyed by words. If the third war zone launches a military attack on you, you must fight back resolutely."

    Having said this, the Commander-in-Chief was silent for a moment and then said: "Now the New Fourth Army headquarters is trapped in a small area, and it can be said that it is short of both food and ammunition. Ammunition is especially scarce, so you must be prepared to endure hardships when you go. The central government has decided,  "Two million rounds of 79 bullets, one million rounds of 65 bullets, as well as 50,000 grenades and 1,000 submachine guns will be drawn from the ammunition you have flown in."

    "At the same time, we are deploying three mortar companies from the garrison forces in northern Shaanxi, and you will take them with you. Southern Anhui is mountainous and the terrain is complex. If you don't have the ability to attack difficult areas, you will suffer.Don't worry about the combat effectiveness of the southern Anhui army.  The troops in Wannan are all old men who have experienced the test of three years of guerrilla warfare. There is no need to consider their combat effectiveness. They are absolutely equal to each other.  His political qualities are also extremely good.  "

    "Several of the regiment leaders are proven veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich actual combat experience. But the biggest shortcomings are the lack of backup and insufficient ammunition. If you bring these ammunition here, you can at least ensure that if you encounter an unexpected incident  , there will be no shortage of ammunition.¡±

    "But the central government cannot agree to the fact that you only bring two guards to Wannan. We heard that a C-47 transport plane made in the United States can carry 22 people. In this way, the platoon that Li Yanping brought to the central government last time,  It was left as a training unit by the Central Committee. Now that the training mission has been completed, the Central Committee has decided to return this platoon to you for use as your guard platoon."

    "If that Huang Dali wants to go with you, as long as you agree with the central government's decision to approve it. For the central government, your safety is the first priority. The New Fourth Army headquarters is important, but your safety is also more important. As a  As a military commander in the largest strategic area of ??the entire army, your life is related to the entire Northeast War situation, so I want to say something to you here today. This is what the Central Committee and the Chairman mean, that is, you must come back alive no matter what.  ¡±

    Regarding the commander-in-chief's words, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Boss, you don't have to worry about my safety. I promise the central government, the chairman and you, that I will do my best to bring the New Fourth Army headquarters out safely. As for my personal safety  , As long as the troops are safe, my safety is also guaranteed.¡±

    "As for the ammunition, I have telegraphed to Comrades Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun who are staying in the Northeast Military Region that they will replenish the Central Committee as soon as possible. At the same time, a batch of helmets and other equipment, as well as some small military equipment will also be coming soon.  Good luck."

    "In fact, according to the current situation of the southern Anhui army, in addition to the lack of ammunition and backup, the most lacking thing is the same as our other troops, that is, effective communication means, especially reliable communication means in a mountainous environment. The terrain of southern Anhui is complex.  , The mountains are crisscrossed, and it is impossible for the troops to gather together and march. This is not only not allowed by the road conditions, but also a taboo for military strategists. "

    "But once the troops are dispersed, it is impossible to obtain timely support from each other without a reliable means of communication. Although the Southern Anhui Army is a force directly under the military headquarters, like other troops in the pass, there is no radio station below the regiment or even at the regiment level.  . And wired communication is restricted by the march of the troops. Not only is it time-consuming to rely on manpower, the confidentiality and security are also extremely poor.¡±

    "I took a look at the establishment of the southern Anhui army. Due to the military organization, there is no shortage of radio operators. What is lacking is only communication equipment such as radios. I have ordered the Northeast Military Region to deploy a batch of Japanese-style 94-type five-watt radios,  Five 15-watt radios we made ourselves, as well as a batch of batteries and hand-operated charging motors, were shipped to the center as soon as possible. "

    "After these radio stations arrive, according to the current establishment of the southern Anhui army, the regiment level can basically be equipped with radio stations. At the same time, I hope that the central government can scoop out several sets of vertical and horizontal communication codes before my departure, so that the military headquarters can  Ability to mobilize troops quickly and in a timely manner.¡±

    Regarding Yang Zhen's thoughts, the Chairman and the Commander-in-Chief looked at each other, nodded and said: "You have thought very comprehensively. Since the Red Army, we have missed a lot of fighter planes due to backward communication methods, and also caused a lot of unnecessary damage.  The loss. Go back and prepare, carefully consider what else you need to pay attention to, and set off in a week."

    The chairman has made the final decision, and there is no need for Yang Zhen to fight for anything else.  Although the content of this conversation was important, it lasted only a short time.  In less than an hour, it was decided that Yang Zhen would be ordered to temporarily go to southern Anhui to serve as the acting political commissar and secretary of the military branch of the New Fourth Army.  In other words, although his tenure will not be too long, Yang Zhen has actually replaced the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army and became the first person in the New Fourth Army.

    After a week of intense work and preparation, on December 12, Yang Zhen led three planes filled with ammunition, communication equipment and some medical supplies to take off from Yan'an.  In order to cover Yang Zhen's actions, the aviation reinforcements that had arrived in Yan'an dispatched almost all their aircraft to conduct large-scale air attacks on the main Japanese aviation bases in North China such as Yuncheng, Taiyuan, and Xinxiang.

    The explosions that sounded at Yuncheng and Xinxiang airports attracted the entire attention of the Japanese army in North China.  A small formation composed of one C-47 and two C-46 transport aircraft led by Yang Zhen took off from Yan'an in the light rain.  Fly straight towards Wannan.

    At dusk, when the fleet led by Yang Zhen landed at Luoyang Airport to refuel, they were greeted at the airport by the commander-in-chief of the First Theater Zone of the Nationalist Government¡¯s Military Commission, who was then the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and was invited by the so-called Tiger General to take a night¡¯s rest.  After careful considerationAfter considering it, Yang Zhen still refused.  However, while the plane was refueling, Yang Zhen had a conversation with the commander-in-chief, who was known as the Five Tiger Generals of Japan.

    When the conversation involved the next move of the Japanese army, Yang Zhen bluntly told the tiger general who commanded the Battle of Xinkou that whether it was judging from the Japanese army's next strategic intention or the Japanese army's operational plan for next year, next year  The primary combat target of the Japanese North China Front is likely to be the first theater troops stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountains in southern Shanxi.
