At the critical juncture of the Anhui Southern Incident, Xiang Ying took the initiative to send a telegram to the central authorities to plead guilty because of a poor idea!

History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu

The Anhui Incident was the climax of the Kuomintang's second anti-communist campaign, and in this battle, Chiang Kai-shek instructed He Yingqin and others to forcibly order the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army to march north of the Yellow River, but at that time the war situation was critical, and such an unreasonable order was tantamount to directly burying thousands of soldiers. Moreover, even if the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army at that time were ordered to advance for the sake of the overall situation, he was still not satisfied, and secretly ordered others to solve the New Fourth Army.

In this battle, Xiang Ying, who has always fought bravely, left the biggest stain on his life, and even in the end, he did not have the opportunity to realize the dai sin he longed for and promised.

Perverse commands

When the Southern Anhui Incident occurred, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was still in full swing. At this time, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army focused most of their energy on how to deal with the Japanese, but they could not imagine that the brother troops who should have been in the same trench had released cold guns from behind.

It was October 19, 1940, autumn. He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi sent an absurd "Hao telegram" under chiang kai-shek's instructions. The target of this telegram was Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Deputy Commander Peng Dehuai, and Ye Ting, who was then the commander of the New Fourth Army; inside, haodian carried out absurd attacks and slanders against our party and the armed forces led by the party, and also demanded that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which were currently fighting the war, all reach the north of the Yellow River within a month.

At the critical juncture of the Anhui Southern Incident, Xiang Ying took the initiative to send a telegram to the central authorities to plead guilty because of a poor idea!

Not only that, but it also demanded that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, which had a crowd of 500,000 at that time, be merged and reduced to only 100,000 people. Under the fierce situation of the War of Resistance, the other side not only refused to take care of our army and hate the enemy, but instead wanted to do such a ridiculous thing at the critical moment of stabbing a knife in the back, which was simply chilling.

After several turns in the telegram, "Jiadian" did not play its due role in responding to Haodian. The Kuomintang still refused to give in and insisted that our army march north of the Yellow River. At that time, the central authorities considered various situations, and for the sake of the overall situation of the War of Resistance, they decided to make concessions in southern Anhui and agreed to march north. However, the other side did not stop there, but instead issued a secret order, asking Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third Theater, and Shangguan Yunxiang, commander-in-chief of the Thirty-second Army, to mobilize troops to prepare to surround and annihilate the New Fourth Army.

The following year, on January 4, 1941, the New Fourth Army, which was under orders to the north, began to move north, reaching the Maolin area on the 6th. At this place, seven divisions of the Kuomintang army and more than 80,000 people surrounded and raided them. And Xiang Ying's tortuous experience also began at this time.

Xiang Ying, who left the team

On the 8th, the fighting became more intense. At that time, the New Fourth Army was besieged and in a dilemma, and the news came that the enemy was about to launch an onslaught. Under the emergency, the New Fourth Army headquarters studied and decided: quickly leave the current location, immediately return to Maolin from Gaotan, and then go north, through Tongling, Fanchang to the riverside, and cross the river to the north.

Of course, the retreat cannot be a rush to go, otherwise it will become a rout, and naturally it is necessary to divide the teams of the defender, the back of the palace, the forward and so on. Among them, the new 3rd Regiment was the vanguard, and as soon as it arrived in Gaotan, it fought with the enemy's 144th Division and 430th Regiment.

After a whole night of fierce fighting, the new 3rd Regiment managed to consolidate the Gaotan position and occupy the local commanding heights. However, the plan was not so smooth, and Maolin was guarded by the heavy army of the 144th Division, and it was very difficult to pass. As a result, the plan drawn up by the military department could not be implemented smoothly as expected. Thus the two armies confronted each other near Maolin. Moreover, at that time, the New Fourth Army was surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the situation was extremely critical. But at this time, the high-powered Xiang Ying actually left the team!

At the critical juncture of the Anhui Southern Incident, Xiang Ying took the initiative to send a telegram to the central authorities to plead guilty because of a poor idea!

In the early morning of the 9th, when the sky was just dark, Xiang Ying, Yuan Guoping, Zhou Zikun, and Li Yihao rushed to Gaotan. It was a bad day, it was raining, and the sound of rain was mixed with the gunfire of the two armies fighting. And a few of them stood on the side of the road drenched in rain, not knowing where to go. At the request of several of them, Ye Chao also went to ask Ye to come over, but he went, but he did not say the request of Xiang Ying at the first time, but reported the situation first.

However, at that time, Ye Ting was anxious about the battle situation, and he was not satisfied with the decision to return to the same way before, and the anger was great. In this way, Ye Chao did not dare to say anything about Xiang Ying, and could only crouch down and roast the fire with others. After waiting for a while, he finally returned to find Xiang Ying, but there was no one in the place where they were.

Upon learning of this incident, the crowd was surprised and indignant, and quickly reported the situation to the central authorities, saying that Xiang Ying and others led a small force to break through, and now their whereabouts are unknown. After the central government learned of this, it also promptly asked Rao Shushi and others to take over Xiang Ying's position, and did not directly recover until Xiang Ying returned, but let him go north with the army.

Then, in the case of a dangerous situation at that time, where did Xiang Ying go? Is it really a traitor?

In fact, although Xiang Ying's choice was a mistake, it also had the color of last resort.

Confusing truth

At the critical juncture of the Anhui Southern Incident, Xiang Ying took the initiative to send a telegram to the central authorities to plead guilty because of a poor idea!

On the night of the 9th, Xiang Ying and others waited for Ye Tingjiu on the side of the road for a long time, and their hearts were inevitably panicked. Coupled with the special situation at that time, several people panicked in such a situation and lost their original confidence. Therefore, Xiang Ying finally decided to lead the team to break through. He gave the important documents he had carried with him to Xia Dongqing, a guard at the time, and asked him to burn them to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Later, he used his experience in fighting guerrilla warfare for three years to persuade Yuan Guoping, Zhou Zikun, Li Yihao, and the people they brought with them to take a small road to break through.

In this way, Xiang Ying and the others formed a small team with their own guards, left the large team and left.

At that time, the war situation was urgent, and several nearby hills were constantly under gunfire. In the early hours of the morning, it was dark and dark, almost unable to see five fingers, and several people walked around for a long time, and they couldn't walk out of the mountains at all. In the end, they had to find a small shed, and several people got together to discuss countermeasures while roasting the fire. This delay reached the evening of the 9th. Unconsciously, several tired people were asleep, and by the time they woke up, it was already the next morning.

As soon as they woke up, they heard someone blowing a trumpet down the hill. Zhou Zikun, who could understand the signal, recognized that this was his own team at that time, and was overjoyed, greeting Xiang Ying and the others and saying that they were going down the mountain.

At the critical juncture of the Anhui Southern Incident, Xiang Ying took the initiative to send a telegram to the central authorities to plead guilty because of a poor idea!

So, after a day and a half of leaving the unit, several of them returned to the team.

At this time, Ye Ting's telegram had already been sent to the central authorities, and the central authorities' return calls were also inquiring about the situation. Xiang Ying immediately sent a telegram explaining the situation and saying that he was willing to accept all punishments. But in the end, the New Fourth Army failed. Xiang Ying, who was full of guilt, also once said that he was willing to review his mistakes, and when he arrived in Yan'an, he would definitely accept punishment and make up for his mistakes.

However, he did not have this opportunity. On March 13, 1941, he and Zhou Zikun were killed by the traitor Liu Houzong. And the mistakes he made in the Anhui Incident never had a chance to make up for them, and this mistake became the biggest stain on his life.
