Author: Lan Yan also fell into the city
On the eve of the Nanchang Uprising, the troops preparing for the uprising poured into Jiujiang in large numbers, attracting the attention of the enemy. Zhang Fakui, commander-in-chief of the Second Front Of the National Revolutionary Army, was prepared to deceive He Long, Ye Ting, and others into taking advantage of the opportunity to detain them in the name of a meeting, and then surrounded their troops with heavy troops and disarmed them.
He never expected that this vicious plan would be detected by Ye Jianying, then chief of staff of the 4th Army of the Second Front, and Ye Ting was informed in time. Fortunately, Zhang's ruse did not succeed. Ye Ting and He Long quickly led their troops to Nanchang and launched the Nanchang Uprising.
On August 3, the rebel army withdrew from Nanchang as originally planned and marched to Guangdong. Zhang Fakui saw the "rebellion" of nearly two of his subordinates and was furious. Huang Qixiang, commander of the 4th Army, Zhu Huiri, commander of the 11th Army, Ye Jianying, chief of staff of the 4th Army, and other senior officers were immediately summoned to a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Zhu Huiri said at the meeting that Ye Ting, He Long, and others openly "rebelled, which is unforgivable in public and private, and should immediately send troops to pursue them." Huang Qixiang also stood up and said, chasing the rebels, the 4th Army is willing to take the lead.
Ye Jianying was appointed chief of staff of the 4th Army, which was personally invited by Zhang Fakui. Zhang Fakui admired the resourceful Ye Jianying very much, and he turned to Ye Jianying and asked, "Cangbai (Ye Jianying word Cangbai) old brother, in your opinion?" ”
Ye Jianying was very anxious in his heart, if Zhang Fakui listened to Zhu Huiri's opinion, the rebel army would fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy back and forth. He had been thinking about how to persuade Zhang Fakui to abandon his plan to pursue the rebels. At this moment, he already had an idea in his mind.
【Young Ye Jianying】
"From the point of view of inferior duties, Ye and He have already marched toward Guangdong at this time, and Li Jishen of Guangdong will certainly be incompatible and send troops to attack." Ye Jianying deliberately paused, saw that everyone was looking at him, and then said: Guangzhou's city defense is empty, and this is a good opportunity for us to go south to Guangdong. We can raise the banner of "aiding the teachers to seek rebellion" and seize the opportunity to enter and occupy Guangzhou. It's a lot more cost-effective than losing a fight behind the rebels' butts. ”
"The clams fight each other, and the fishermen gain." Brother Cangbai, you are still clever! After hearing this, the crowd clapped their hands and applauded, and all of them echoed Ye Jianying's opinion.
"Then what about the Wuhan side?" Zhang Fakui was still a little worried.
"That's not simple, we sent some of our troops to bluff and chase it from afar." Huang Qixiang deliberately said the word "far away" very heavily, and everyone understood and looked at each other and laughed.
【Huang Qixiang and his wife Guo Xiuyi】
Ye Jianying, who "parachuted" into the 4th Army, also had his own armed unit, the 4th Army Instruction Regiment. In order to master this elite, Ye Jianying can be described as well-intentioned and painstaking.
The predecessor of the teaching group was the Wuhan branch of the military and political school. Principal Deng Yanda, political instructor Yun Daiying, and Chen Yi are the heads of the school's underground organization. There are more than 4,000 teachers and students in the school, and the revolutionary atmosphere is very strong.
After the rupture of cooperation between the two sides, the enemy regarded the revolutionary teachers and students in the school as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he wanted to get rid of them quickly. In this case, Yun Daiying and Chen Yi and other exposed members of the organization were forced to leave the school, and the mountain rain was about to fill the building. Ye Jianying always watched the movement of the military academy and cared about its future and destiny.
On July 15, 1927, Tang Shengzhi, commander-in-chief of the First Front of the National Revolutionary Army, suddenly ordered the military academy to conduct field exercises. When the teachers and students of the exercise arrived at the predetermined location of Hongshan, they were surrounded by heavy troops of Tang Shengzhi's department. At the critical moment, Ye Jianying found Zhang Fakui and persuaded him to take the opportunity to break the siege and take the teachers and students of the military academy for his own use in order to strengthen the strength of the Second Front. Zhang Fakui accepted Ye Jianying's suggestion and personally approached Tang Shengzhi to negotiate. Soon, the military academy was disbanded and reorganized into the Second Front Corps Instruction Regiment. This revolutionary force has finally survived for the time being.
【Tang Shengzhi】
The head of the teaching regiment was Xie Bingbai, chief of staff of the Second Front, and Ye Jianying believed that this revolutionary armed force should only be taken into his own hands.
One day, Ye Jianying met Xie Bingbai and talked about the problem of the teaching group. Xie Bingbai was full of complaints, complaining that this regiment was not easy to manage. Ye Jianying hurriedly said, "If you don't want to do it, how about letting me do it?" Of course, Xie Bingbai couldn't ask for it.
Ye Jianying found Zhang Fakui again, and Zhang Fakui said to him: "This regiment has good military quality and can fight, but it is not easy to discipline, and I am relieved to have you take over." In this way, Ye Jianying finally firmly grasped this revolutionary armed force in his own hands. Later, in order to narrow the target, it was changed to the 4th Army Instruction Regiment. Under Ye Jianying's painstaking management, the teaching regiment soldiers were well fed and grew into an elite unit.
After the Nanchang rebel army moved south to Chaoshan, Li Jishen, who was occupying Guangdong, transferred all his troops to Chaoshan for reinforcements, and Guangzhou almost became an empty city. As soon as Zhang Fakui saw that the time had come, he immediately led his troops into the city of Guangzhou in the name of reinforcements. It was ready to seize the opportunity to seize power in Guangdong when Li Jishen and the rebel army were both defeated and wounded. At this time, Ye Jianying and his teaching group were still stationed in Hua County, Guangdong.
Soon, Ye Jianying was ordered to return to Guangzhou, and the teaching group stayed in Hua County. Soon after Ye Jianying arrived in Guangzhou, he was connected with the organization. Organizationally, he conveyed to Ye Jianying the plan to prepare for an uprising in Guangzhou, and asked him to find a way to transfer the teaching group back to Guangzhou.
After Ye Jianying gained a firm foothold in Guangzhou, he immediately began to plan the transfer of the teaching group back to Guangzhou. Zhang Fakui and Huang Qixiang were not willing to transfer the teaching group back to Guangzhou. In their eyes, the teaching group is "a grenade with a string", both wanting to throw it out and blow up others, but also afraid of blowing it into their own hands.
Ye Jianying grasped their psychology and repeatedly stated that if he wanted to grow strongly, he must use this young armed force. And repeatedly guaranteed that as long as he was there, there would be no accidents in the teaching group. Under Ye Jianying's soft and hard bubble, Zhang and Huang finally agreed to transfer the teaching group back to Guangzhou.
After the teaching group entered Guangzhou, Ye Jianying voluntarily resigned from the post of leader of the teaching group in order to dispel the suspicion of others. At the same time, a group of organization members were arranged to serve as battalion and company commanders, and the teaching group was still firmly controlled by him.
At the suggestion of Ye Jianying, the teaching group set up a "Soldier Training Committee" in the name of strengthening training. According to the characteristics of the urban uprising, various trainings are carried out.
【Li Jishen】
After the defeat of the Nanchang rebel army, Huang Shaochun returned to Guangzhou and was appointed by Li Jishen as the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army. Li Jishen's self-esteem has greatly increased, and he has appointed himself chairman. It also attempted to cancel the name of Zhang Fakui's Second Front and annex the 4th Army.
Zhang Fakui showed no weakness and joined forces with Wang To trick Li Jishen into going to Shanghai for a meeting. At the same time, Huang Qixiang and Ye Jianying were ordered to command the 4th Army and the Teaching Regiment to capture the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and Huang Shaohu fled in a hurry, detouring to Hong Kong Island and fleeing back to Guangxi.
This battle allowed Zhang Fakui to see the combat effectiveness of the teaching group, and he was more and more uneasy about the teaching group. In order to control the teaching group, he sent his cousin Zhu Mianfang to the teaching group as chief of staff, and also installed many close associates to serve in the teaching group. However, due to the strong organizational foundation of the teaching group, there are more than 200 members of the organization alone, and the actual control is still in the hands of Ye Jianying.
【Huang Shaohu】
Li Jishen and Huang Shaochun, who had been driven out of Guangzhou, were not willing to accept defeat, and soon gathered the eastern and western armies and marched towards Guangzhou with great momentum.
Faced with the grim situation, Zhang Fakui hurriedly convened a military meeting to discuss countermeasures. At the meeting, some advocated an all-round attack, some advocated hitting the East Road first, and some advocated hitting the West Road first. Zhang Fakui "one head, two big" and threw the question to Ye Jianying.
In his speech, Ye Jianying said: The enemy's Eastern Route Army is relatively strong, so it is better to fight the weaker Western Road first. Finally, he also stressed that we must concentrate our forces, go all out, and after a quick battle and a quick decision, we will free up our hands to clean up the enemy's Eastern Route Army.
Zhang Fakui completely followed Ye Jianying's advice, appointed Huang Qixiang as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and led all the main forces to attack. Only a small number of troops, such as the teaching regiment and a battalion of the guard regiment, were left in Guangzhou, and Ye Jianying, who was responsible for defending the city, knew that the golden opportunity of the Guangzhou uprising had appeared.
