In 1943, the New Fourth Army captured Han Deloitte, deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang, and Chen Yi frowned and wanted to pretend not to know him and let him go, but the Central Committee even approved it, but Han Deloitte refused to leave...
This greatly shocked the soldiers, but han Deqin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Lusu Theater, was arrested, why did he let him go? They had to pretend not to know him, and they were released from captivity, and the chiefs were worried about something.
The confused warriors could only do the same, but the next scene confused them.
As soon as the other captives received the silver dollar, they were all happy and volunteered to go home, but Han Deqin did not leave, but instead revealed his identity and asked to see Chen Yi.
The reason why he did not leave was the same as Chen Yi thought.
At that time, in 1943, the New Fourth Army did not dare to capture the Kuomintang officers, but why did it capture Han Deloitte alive? This has to start with Han Deloitte's treachery.
In this year, the Japanese army carried out a major sweep of northern Jiangsu, and Han Deloitte's department was almost completely defeated, took the initiative to find the New Fourth Army to negotiate, wanted to retreat to the New Fourth Army position, and hoped to get guns, ammunition and other supplies.
In order to unite northern Jiangsu and resist the war, the central government agreed to Han Deloitte's request, and the two sides also signed an agreement. As long as Han Deloitte actively resisted Japan and returned to the original defense area immediately after the sweep stopped, the New Fourth Army would certainly help him to the greatest extent.
However, Han Deloitte, who withdrew to the new Fourth Army defense zone, extended his black hand behind his back, did not resist japan, and also sabotaged the New Fourth Army's counter-sweeping and seized The Renji and other places in the base area of our army's Huaihai District.
Even though our army endured again and again, Han Deqin still disregarded his kindness, crossed the river and occupied key places such as Shanzitou and Jietouji, and after merging with the Kuomintang 31st Group Army, he began to attack the Fourth Division of the New Fourth Army, with the intention of seizing the entire northern Jiangsu region of our army.
When the news came, Chen Yi, who was always optimistic and open-minded, could not bear it, just as the so-called "if anyone offends me, I will offend." After consulting with deputy commander Zhang Yunyi and others, he directly reported Han Deqin's ungrateful deeds to the central authorities, and requested that a self-defense counterattack in Shanzitou be launched to clean him up fiercely.
As soon as the telegram was received, the Yan'an side agreed to Chen Yi's operational deployment, commanded by Peng Xuefeng of the Fourth Division, the Second Division and the Third Division fought in coordination, and the Ninth Brigade of the Third Division was responsible for the main attack.
At this time, Han Deloitte, who had fought a "victorious battle," was overwhelmed and entrenched in the village on the hilltop. Due to heavy rain at night, he fell asleep early.
As the saying goes: surprise, attack it. In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the New Fourth Army divided into three roads, took advantage of the heavy rain as cover, and made a long-distance attack to the head of the mountain.
The Ninth Brigade of the Third Division launched a fierce attack, destroyed the stronghold on the outskirts of the village in one fell swoop, and directly approached Han Deloitte's headquarters, and surrounded the manor.
The sleeping Nationalist army reacted and prepared for battle, but it was useless. Wang Guangxia, the leader of the third column of security, rushed into Han Deloitte's room, only to see Han Deloitte slumped on the bed, and he was also awakened by the shouting of "we are surrounded" outside the house, but he did not know what to do.
Wang Guangxia came just in time, and Han Deloitte immediately ordered him to negotiate with the New Fourth Army. Wang Guangxia knew very well that his hands were stained with the blood of the New Fourth Army, and he was afraid that he would be more fierce and less fortunate, but he could not disobey the military orders.
So, reluctantly, he opened the door, declared his name, and suddenly was killed by a "ding" and fell. Frightened, Han Deloitte hurriedly told everyone not to resist anymore, after all, the New Fourth Army would give preferential treatment to prisoners, and there was only one way to resist.
He himself obediently raised his hands and walked out of the courtyard door mixed with the soldiers. However, when the soldiers of the Ninth Brigade shouted "Who is Han Deloitte", he was silent, and the fighters who did not know Han Deloitte had to take all the prisoners back to the base area.
This led to the scene at the beginning, where the senior general of the Nationalist army was arrested, but Chen Yi was not happy. Killing a Han Deqin is very simple, but at this time the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are still cooperating, chiang kai-shek will certainly provoke trouble, which is not conducive to the anti-Japanese resistance, and at the same time will let more difficult generals replace Han Deloitte, and the conflict will surely continue unabated.
After much deliberation, Chen Yi ordered the soldiers to pretend not to know Han Deloitte and let him go. I thought that Han Deloitte would be grateful to Dade, who knew that he had to see Chen Yi, and also made three demands: one was to return some of his guns; the other was to give a region to let him mix; and the third provincial government's sign continued to hang.
Seeing that Chen Yi's face was gloomy, he quickly indicated that he had no one to replace in the army, and could provide intelligence for the New Fourth Army at that time.
If they lose their position, they will only do harm to the New Fourth Army. Chen Yi reported the situation to the Central Military Commission, which agreed, but the chairman said there was no need to develop Han Deloitte into an internal line because he was unreliable.
In the end, Chen Yi also sent him 80,000 yuan, and Han Deloitte left from the base area of the New Fourth Army as he wished. Later, Han Deloitte did not disturb our army anymore, and secretly revealed some combat arrangements of the nationalist army to the New Fourth Army.
I have to say that Mr. Chen Yi not only understands that the military can fight, but also has a long-term vision, and even old Jiang is full of praise when he hears about this: "Chen Yi's move is really too cruel!" ”
At the same time, The decision of President Chen Yi also drew a strong stroke for the victory of the Liberation War, which made people have to admire his foresight.
