As we all know, the predecessor of china's People's Liberation Army was the Red Army, and at the beginning of the founding of the Red Army, it adopted such a strategy of free development in all directions, and the Red Fourth Front was ready to enter Sichuan for development.
In 1933, the Red Fourth Front successfully entered the northern Sichuan region of Sichuan, and directly took three counties, including Bazhong, Tongjiang, and Nanjiang, and directly annihilated the strength of the three regiments of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
It has smoothly realized the strategic task of the Red Fourth Front's march into northern Sichuan, successfully expanded the Base Areas of the Red Army in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and created a great momentum of development.
Tian Songyao into the river
At this time, however, Chiang Kai-shek could not sit still, and seeing that our Communist Red Army was developing so vigorously in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, and that the momentum of development was booming, he was directly furious and sent Tian Songyao, the governor of the Western Sichuan Border Region, to attack us.
And this Tian Songyao also directly gathered 38 regiments and nearly 60,000 Kuomintang troops, and slaughtered the northern Sichuan region of Sichuan in a mighty way.
At that time, our Red Fourth Front had only just entered Sichuan, the mass base was relatively weak, and after a long period of conquest, it was in urgent need of rest, recuperation, and recovery of strength. Therefore, seeing that Tian Songyao's soldiers were too strong, he knew that he could not confront him at this time, so he decided to continue to fight "guerrilla warfare" with him.
When they saw that Tian Songyao was about to reach the northern Sichuan region, the Red Fourth Front directly pretended to retreat, adopted such a posture of showing weakness to the enemy, and threw the three county towns of Bazhong, Nanjiang, and Tongjiang, which had just arrived, to Tian Songyao.
At this moment, Tian Songyao felt that because of his reputation, the tiger's body was shocked, and these "red bandits" were all scared to the point of urine flowing. Immediately felt that he could be said to be "radiant", and all of a sudden, his tail was going to fly into the sky.
After Chiang Kai-shek Ri learned of this news, he also felt that he had not used the wrong person, that he was brilliant and strategic, and that his vision was poisonous, and he directly appointed Tian Songyao as the chief inspector of sichuan's bandits.
After receiving Chiang Kai-shek's new letter of appointment, Tian Songyao could be said to be so overjoyed that he could not speak for a while, feeling that he was really "a Maxima met Bole", and from then on, he could soar to the sky.
Even Tian Songyao thought that before he started the war, he was afraid of the Red Army's psychology, and he felt very ridiculous.
Indeed, Tian Songyao himself was really afraid of the Red Army, because in Tian Songyao's view, the Red Army had gathered hundreds of thousands of people in just five or six years from the Nanchang Uprising in 1927 to the present.
How could such an army be able to fight itself? Therefore, even if he learned that the Red Fourth Front in the northern Sichuan region only had more than 20,000 people, Tian Songyao did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and directly gathered more than 60,000 Kuomintang troops to "enter Sichuan to suppress bandits."
Unexpectedly, however, shortly after the start of the war, the Red Fourth Front was actually "scared away" by itself. For a while, Tian Songyao felt that he was a "lucky general", and the troops under his command were all three points stronger than Chiang Kai-shek's "ace troops" and "concubine troops", which was simply too much to "earn face" for himself.
This time, his opponent was the Red Army, which even Chiang Kai-shek could not defeat.
Several rounds of encirclement and suppression were basically fruitless, and they were even beaten by the Red Army and fled, and this time it can be said that he had gained face among the officers under Chiang Kai-shek's government.
In this way, Tian Songyao, who was overwhelmed, felt that he would definitely conquer the Red Army one after another in the future, and his future career would definitely be a straight up.
Killed "Yun Daiying"
But we all know that if a person wants to be truly successful, it must be going through some tribulations, there will be no pie in the sky, and there is no free lunch in the world.
Behavior like Tian Songyao can be said to be directly overwhelmed by joy, and naturally some bizarre things will be done.
Previously, Tian Songyao was known as "winter melon" because of his short stature.
Because he has been called this for a long time, Tian Songyao's personality is also somewhat introverted and restrained.
Usually he seems to be silent, he has not shown himself, and he does not know how to brag about his merits, even if he has made great achievements, he often has very meritorious deeds, and he can only have six or seven points left in his mouth.
But this time, Tian Songyao suddenly became the chief inspector of bandit suppression in Sichuan appointed by Chiang Kai-shek himself, which at that time could be called a "feudal official" on one side.
In an instant, Tian Songyao's mentality underwent a great change, and in the various styles of behavior that followed, he gradually became more and more "inflated"; even in the various documents issued and the various reports submitted to Chiang Kai-shek, Tian Songyao must also add his name of "General Inspector of Sichuan Bandit Suppression" and concurrently military commander in front of his name.
Just as the poor and rich must show off to the utmost, Tian Songyao's behavior also seems to be afraid that others will not know that he is no longer the teenager he used to be, he has been promoted to an official, and has become the chief inspector of bandits in Sichuan.
Moreover, although the Red Army had already run away, its task of suppressing bandits in the Sichuan region had not yet been completed. After thinking about it, Tian Songyao directly decided on "one county and one newspaper," that is, the three counties of Bazhong, Nanjiang, and Tongjiang; although Tian Songyao took it down at one time, he also divided it into three "reports" to Chiang Kai-shek, and almost every two or three days, he had to report to Chiang Kai-shek how he fought heroically and how he succeeded in suppressing bandits.
And Chiang Kai-shek saw that Tian Songyao sent a "good report" to himself almost every three to five minutes, and his heart blossomed.
Because the more "good news" Tian Songyao passed back, the more Sichuan cities and pools were conquered, the greater the merits he made, the more he could explain his poisonous vision, and the more he could explain his wisdom and divine martial arts.
Therefore, in the face of these successful reports of Tian Songyao, Chiang Kai-shek directly praised him, saying that he was his confidant and beloved general, and he repeatedly defeated the red bandits. In addition, tian Songyao was also asked to quickly sum up his own experience in relevant tactics and strategies, and asked him to sort it out into a specific document and report it to himself, so that it could be circulated to the entire Kuomintang army and observed and studied by these senior generals.
In this "commercial mutual blowing" again and again, Nakata Songyao seems to really feel that he can be called the "first general" in the Kuomintang army, and with Tian Songyao's shot, the whole of Sichuan is almost "immediately to be determined".
Let this former "winter melon" more and more overwhelmed, more and more feel that they are in the sky, but in this case, something has happened.
One of Tian Songyao's division commanders, Wang Mingzhang, received orders from Tian Songyao to occupy Tongjiang County, one of the three counties in Bazhong.
After Wang Mingzhang rushed to the county seat of Tongjiang with his troops, since the Red Army of our party had already retreated, Wang Mingzhang occupied the entire county seat of Tongjiang almost effortlessly.
Then, he sent a telegram to Tian Songyao, telling Tian Songyao: "In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, the "red bandits" in Tongjiang County have changed the names of all the streets in Tongjiang County, and the names used are not just the ordinary East Street and West Street, but also the names of some generals who have been sacrificed by the Red Army before, just like saying that there is a street called "YunDaiying Street." ”
Wang Mingzhang said to Tian Songyao at the end, we can also learn from the Red Army, according to the gourd painting scoop, the Red Army used to win the hearts and minds of the people, we can also use, used to use on ourselves, just like in the future, in our Sichuan army, if anyone dies in battle, then we can use the name of this general to replace Yun Daiying, and change the name of this street to the name of our general who died in battle.
After Tian Songyao listened, he patted his thigh: "Hey, this is a good idea." ”
So he handed this matter over to his military divisions to deal with, but this strange thing was here, and he didn't know where Tian Songyao had recruited the military division.
He himself was already not very smart, but his military master was even less intelligent than he was, and when he saw that the telegram had the name of the person "Yun Daiying", he thought that he had seen it there before.
Moreover, it seemed that he was still the name of a senior general of the Red Army, but he was not a nobody, so he immediately ran over to Tian Songyao and said: "This Yun Daiying, I seem to have seen this name before, and it seems to be very famous, it must be an important leader in the Communist Party, but now according to Master Wang's telegram, this person must have been killed by us, this is not a trivial matter for us, it is definitely a great achievement, we should quickly send a telegram to report to Chairman Jiang. For the sake of the military commander, please take credit. ”
After Tian Songyao heard this, he was even more directly pleased with his eyebrows: "Oh, it turns out that Yun Daiying is still so important, I always thought that Yun Daiying was just a small regimental commander at most, but I didn't expect that he was still an important leader in the Communist Party, so he quickly sent a telegram to ask for credit for me, and it was a heavy request for credit." ”
Therefore, the people below immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that Tian Songyao's troops had killed Yun Daiying, an important leader of the Red Army, in Tongjiang County after a bloody battle.
Yun Daiying
Chiang Kai-shek "confused"
Not long after Chiang Kai-shek saw the telegram, but after seeing the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek was directly stunned in the same place, until the person next to him patted him, Chiang Kai-shek reacted like a dream, touched his forehead, but he was scared out of cold sweat at some point.
Why, after this telegram was sent, did the name Yun Daiying directly frighten Chiang Kai-shek?
It turned out that this Yun Daiying had once worked under Chiang Kai-shek. In the early days, when Chiang Kai-shek was the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, Yun Daiying was the political instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy.
Yun Daiying's background is really too familiar to Chiang Kai-shek.
But what made Chiang Kai-shek feel most unbelievable was that two years earlier, in 1931, Yun Daiying had already been shot in the streets of Nanjing. Moreover, the order to execute Yun Daiying was issued by Chiang Kai-shek himself, and before the execution, it was already "verified to be righteous.", how could yun Daiying appear again in Sichuan? Was he beaten to death again?
However, after carefully reading the report transmitted by Tian Songyao again, it can be said that it is vivid and does not look like a fraud at all, and this moment it makes Chiang Kai-shek even more confused by the second monk.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek sent a telegram back, asking Tian Songyao to carefully describe the situation when Yun Daiying was killed, and asked to find out where this Yun Daiying was, when he was killed by whom, what he looked like, his height and body shape, not a single one could fall, the characteristics of his body, and what documents and evidence he had on his body must be reported to Chiang Kai-shek.
When he came back to see Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, Tian Songyao was also "numbed" and hurried to ask Wang Mingzhang, who killed Yun Daiying, and what the details looked like.
However, after receiving Tian Songyao's inquiry, Wang Mingzhang also touched his head and replied: "I only saw Yun Daiying Street hanging on a street in Tongjiang City, and I don't know who killed him." ”
After Tian Songyao listened, he was even more directly angry: "Check, hurry up and check, even if a small soldier kills, you have to find out for me." ”
So Wang Mingzhang hurried down to the regimental headquarters and battalion headquarters, that is, one, carefully investigated, to find out who killed Yun Daiying.
But after checking it like this, no one has come forward to take this credit at all, because this kind of thing is not something that can be faked, Chiang Kai-shek has personally inquired about it, and the inquiry is still so detailed, as long as one of them is not correct, it is easy to expose the horse's feet.
Among these Sichuan army troops, who dared to go over so easily to take this seemingly credit, but in fact it was a dangerous thing?
After half a day like this, Tian Songyao suddenly realized that we had not killed Yun Daiying.
But at this time, the second telegram that Chiang Kai-shek asked had also been sent, and it seemed that if he wanted to be confused, he would absolutely not be able to fool him.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Tian Songyao could only stand up with a big red face and report the beginning and end of this matter to Chiang Kai-shek as it was.
And after Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he was also furious, how could he make such a joke about major events in the army? I found out this time, so when I didn't find out before, how much did you Tian Songyao hide? How much military information was lied about?
Since then, in Tian Songyao's eyes, his career that could have been said to have gone all the way up to the clouds has gradually ended.
Until the end, Tian Songyao himself had only mixed up a position as a general's staff officer in the military senate in Nanjing, and he did not have the slightest real power.
And all this was caused by Tian Songyao's thoughts, presumably because his troops had "killed Yun Daiying" in Tongjiang, Sichuan in 1933.
