The security forces of the Eyu-Suzhou Border Region were stationed in the local area, and the security commander was named Geng Yunzhai , who was not an old Red Army, but only after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression did he pull up an anti-Japanese volunteer army, and later incorporated into the Eighth Route Army, and he himself became a cadre of the Eighth Route Army.
However, Geng Yunzhai was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of his superiors, he was originally the head of the special service regiment of the fourth column of the Eighth Route Army, but now he was transferred to the commander of the security, and he obviously had no military power in his hands.
Geng Yunzhai had a very good relationship with Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren, the other two regimental commanders of the Fourth Column, and they often got together to talk about the world, this time, Geng Yunzhai prepared a table of wine and dishes, and specially invited Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren to come to dinner.
After three rounds of drinking, Geng Yunzhai was a little confused, and he said to the two confidants: "You don't know, it is clearly shown above to deprive me of the military power of old Geng!" Do you say I can stand it? ”
Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren glanced at each other, and both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, Wu Xinrong said: "Old Geng, you are drunk, these words can be said in front of us, but don't let the chief hear, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat!" ”
Liu Ziren also said: "Yes, you will still say these words less in the future!" ”
Geng Yunzhai shook his head, "What happened to me, the troops were originally brought by me, why did they kick me out!" ”
Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren drank drunkenly and did not say a word.
Just at this moment, Geng Yunzhai suddenly said a shocking sentence, Geng Yunzhai said meaningfully: "Old Liu, Old Wu, you are the people I trust the most, let me tell you the truth, I am already planning to pull the troops out!" ”
When Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren heard this, they were both shocked, Geng Yunzhai's meaning was obvious, he planned to pull the troops to defect from the Eighth Route Army, which was a great rebellion!
Geng Yunzhai saw the panic in the hearts of the two of them and said, "Anyway, now I am also a light rod commander, what am I afraid of?" Besides, if I join the Kuomintang, maybe the future will be brighter! ”
Wu Xinrong and Liu Ziren sighed in unison and said in unison, "Since this is the case, let's pull the troops out together!" ”
In this way, Geng Yunzhai, Wu Xinrong, and Liu Ziren, three eighth-road legion-level cadres, made a move of defection to the enemy, and they wrapped up 2,000 eighth route army soldiers and defected to Tang Enbo's department.
So, what happened to these traitors later?
First of all, Geng Yunzhai was appointed by Tang Enbo as the commander of the first guerrilla column in the Luyu-Anhui Border Region after his defection, and later Tang Enbo kicked him aside, giving him only the title of deputy commander of the guerrilla army without troops. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Geng Yunzhai has been working as a farmer at home, and died of illness in 1962, which can be regarded as a good death.
Speaking of Wu Xinrong, after his defection, he became the leader of the third detachment of the first column of the Kuomintang Sulu Yuwan Border Region, when he and the Japanese puppet army jointly besieged the Eighth Route Army, did all kinds of bad things, and later died of illness in 1942, which can also be regarded as deserved.
Finally, Liu Ziren, who served as Geng Yunzhai's deputy after his defection, during which he defected to the Japanese and became a shameful traitor, and after the victory of the War of Resistance, he transformed into a major general of the Kuomintang and later participated in the uprising, but he eventually died in the "town rebellion" movement.
