The commander of our army ate, drank, and gambled, led more than 600 people to vote for the Japanese, and Su Yu was very happy: he was promoted to three levels in a row
On September 29, 1943, the Binhai Daily published a short message: "After 6 months of defeat in the qingxiang of the enemy Wang, the puppet army Tang Jingyan led the whole regiment to return to our army anyway."
No one could have imagined that in the 167 days and nights that soaked in this short 23-word newsletter, tang Jingyan and his team experienced a painful darkness before dawn.
Until more than 70 years later, when this anti-Japanese martyr, who is always worthy of respect and remembrance, was buried under the yellow sand of history like a brilliant pearl, and how many people who did not know the truth rose up and shouted at him and shouted the word "traitor," who will clearly remember the heroic deeds of our army commander Tang Jingyan who did not hesitate to "eat, drink, gamble, and gamble" for the sake of the revolution and "have all five poisons" to lead more than 600 people to "defect" to the Japanese Kou?
History will always be selectively forgotten, and General Tang Jingyan not only personally led more than 600 people to defect to the Japanese Kou and went undercover to resist the Japanese, winning the praise of General Su Yu for his promotion to three consecutive levels, but also interpreting the generosity and tragedy of the revolutionaries with the lives of fathers and sons.
Recall history and cherish the present, we must understand that today's happy life is not easy to come by. If you are a passionate patriot, you may wish to calm down and read this article carefully, perhaps you can understand that the anti-Japanese resistance in the "divine drama" may not be the real history.
At the beginning of 1943, when the Japanese Kou "cleared the countryside" was imminent, the 60th Division under the command of the Japanese bandit Kobayashi Nobuo launched a large-scale "sweep" of the Soviet Central Garrison of the Fourth Sub-district of the New Fourth Army.
Yan Changrong, the tiger general and commander of the Seventh Regiment whom Su Yu relied heavily on, was unfortunately shot and killed in the battle against the puppet guerrillas; the Third Brigade of the First Division suffered nearly a thousand casualties in just over half a year, and the deaths and injuries of local cadres and masses were even more incalculable.
At the same time that the Japanese and Kosovars carried out a frenzied "sweep" of our anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, the Japanese and pseudo-enemy intelligence personnel did not forget to plot rebellion and infiltrate the military and people in our Soviet and Chinese base areas.
The enemy has been beating and pulling, constantly throwing black bait at the base areas, in an attempt to pull all those who are weak-willed into the Japanese and pseudo-camps, so as to divide and disintegrate our army's combat strength and realize the "clearing of the countryside" and the completion of its contribution to the battle.
This is an invisible front that cannot see the smoke of war, and it is also an extremely difficult position to defend. At that time, there were many traitors and traitors in our army who defected to the enemy and confessed to being thieves, and their appearance once posed a serious threat to the base areas.
On the one hand, the Japanese and Kou counterfeit "guerrillas" constantly attacked and caused great harm to our soldiers and civilians; on the other hand, there was the continuous emergence of a large army of traitors who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. How to solve the sinister predicament of the Soviet-Chinese base area and survive and develop in the face of adversity has become a difficult problem that needs to be broken through urgently in front of Su Yu, the leader of the New Fourth Army.
Since the erratic Japanese and pseudo-"guerrillas" are elusive, will there be a change in starting from the enemy? At this time, Su Yu was the commander of the 1st Division and the commander of the Soviet Central Military Sub-district, and when he was on the front line of life and death, his wise brain turned rapidly.
However, although Su Yu had formed such a set of ideas in his mind, it was so difficult to truly implement it to achieve the effect of surprise and not arouse the suspicion of the enemy! Su Yu still didn't have any clue, for the first time in his life, he felt a paste in his mind. Where to start? Su Yu's brow furrowed was like boiling boiling water violently ironing the internal organs in his body.
Just as Su Yu was frowning, Tang Jingyan, the commander of the Tonghai Self-Defense Regiment under the Third Brigade, reported to him a seemingly inconspicuous news: The enemy was drawing him into defecting to the Japanese Kou as a traitor!
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, this was the usual method of Japanese and pseudo-agents. In order to weaken the sense of resistance of the Chinese as much as possible and reduce the resistance in China, the Japanese and the puppet army, together with the puppet army, went around to recruit rebels, lobbied and encouraged friends, compatriots, or acquaintances who had old relations in the past to rebel and participate in their so-called "peace movement" of "using China to rule China."
Ostensibly under the banner of the high-sounding "greater East Asia co-prosperity" of the traitorous argument, Ri Nei launched a gentle onslaught on Chinese with high-ranking officials Houlu and beautiful women and money as "sugar-coated shells". Many people were anesthetized themselves in the cover of ears and bells, step by step embarked on the road of treason and surrender to the enemy, and became traitors who followed the Japanese and Kou to the black, which was too common in China at that time.
When Su Yu heard Tang Jingyan's report, he couldn't help but be dazzled: Isn't this the right person I am looking for?
The suitable person Su Yu said was Tang Jingyan. Tang Jingyan was originally a deputy commander of a major in the miscellaneous units of the Nationalist Army in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression; when he saw the New Fourth Army crossing the river to open up the Huangqiao base area and make the anti-Japanese struggle flourish, this bloody boy's blood boiled up.
Adhering to the ideal of serving the country and the people, resisting Japan and saving the country, he gathered his brothers to reveal their hearts:
"Now that the mountains and rivers are broken and the Japanese and kosovars are trampling on China, how can the people of the great country of China be willing to be the slaves of the Japanese koku?" I am determined to defect to the New Fourth Army and swear to die against Japan. ”
As soon as Tang Jingyan's voice fell, the brothers shouted in unison: "Oath to follow Tang Regiment Leader to the death to resist Japan!" ”
The plan was decided, and Tang Jingyan immediately led the brothers to defect to the New Fourth Army overnight without saying a word, and two years later he joined our party and solemnly swore an oath under the party banner, starting the pursuit of the truth against the Japanese map.
Because of the special military experience of majors in the Nationalist Army, there were more entangled relationships within the Nationalist Army, and after arriving in the New Fourth Army, he used these connections to do a lot of practical things for our army. But soon, the former friends began to be unable to resist the surging tide of "curve to save the country", and one by one they threw themselves into the door of the Japanese Kou and became traitors. Subsequently, this layer of relationship was also involved in the ranks of the puppet army.
Sure enough, when the "Qingxiang" movement of the Xiaolin Division swept through Central Jiangsu, Tang Jingyan's former "old relations" also stepped into his home. The first to receive this special invitation were "invitations" from Zhang Beisheng, director of the "Qingxiang Office" in Japan and The Nantong Secret Agent Headquarters Station, and Jiang Songping, station chief of the Nantong Secret Service Headquarters.
Zhang Beisheng and Jiang Songping were former "old acquaintances" of Tang Jingyan, and the two defected to the Japanese shortly after his departure. Now, Zhang and Jiang enthusiastically "invited" Tang Jingyan to "join the company", on the one hand, Tang Jingyan was once their deceased, and on the other hand, the two took a fancy to Tang Jingyan's 600-strong Tonghai Self-Defense Regiment.
Whoever can pull Tang Jingyan over, whose power is like a tiger, who can add officials to the Japanese master, not to mention, beautiful women, tickets are great. Yo sis! It is indeed a great thing that is beneficial and harmless!
Tang Jingyan has long been a party member, the most basic party spirit is still there, and the great national righteousness makes him even less like the "dog with broken spine" to see people nod their heads and waist. But there was no need for him to tear his face with the "old acquaintances", and he might be able to use them when it was critical.
Since Tang Jingyan has such a complicated background, and since the Japanese puppet army took the initiative to "throw in the arms and give hugs" at this time, why not take the opportunity to "throw" the "Soup Tuan" into the enemy's interior, first, under the increasingly severe situation, retain the flame of revolution; second, when the situation improves, it can immediately "break out" from the enemy's interior and give the Japanese a heavy blow, which is simply an oriental-style "Trojan horse plan"!
Thinking of this, Su Yu asked Tao Yong, commander of the 3rd Brigade, and Ji Luo, the political commissar, to discuss the matter.
The servant sat down and calmly summed it up, and found that many details were not as good as they thought. The Japanese Kou "qingxiang" has only just begun, and the main force of a regiment of our army defected to the enemy. Third, if the enemy recognizes that it is a false surrender, is not the strength of a regiment equal to the meat bun beating the dog without return, making senseless sacrifices?
"This plan is too risky, too risky!" Gillow's head shook like a rattle, and he repeatedly rejected Su Yu's proposal.
The sleek Tao Yong was not good at refuting the ideas of his superiors, so he had to tactfully mutter: "Maybe it is a dangerous chess, it is a good chess... Surprisingly winning chess games are sometimes made by dangerous chess. ”
The two men, overtly or covertly, conveyed a signal to Su Yu: This move is too dangerous to handle!
Su Yu's vision has always been sharp, as long as it is something he looks for, he will never let the great opportunity be missed in vain. In the complicated revolutionary era, he relied on this extremely keen perception ability, like an eagle soaring in the sky, only to find a rabbit in the snow, a sharp hunt that tore through the air, and a killer action to defeat the enemy in a flash, and the prey was safely captured.
Then call this mission "Operation Tang Tuan"!
Now that the code name and outline of the operation have been finalized, it is good luck to plan specific personnel arrangements and "defection" passing.
Su Yu decided to merge Shen Zhongyi's Chongming Guard Regiment with Tang Jingyan's Tonghai Self-Defense Regiment into one regiment, with Tang Jingyan still serving as the regimental commander, Shen Zhongyi as the deputy regimental commander, and Gu Fusheng as the political commissar.
Shen Zhongyi's father was killed by the puppet army, he and the Japanese puppet army have a different blood sea deep hatred, and Shen Zhongyi understands the military, can lead the army, has a set of skills in fighting, and is a wise and resourceful commander. Gu Fusheng is an old comrade who joined the party in 1924, with a strong political style and strong party spirit, and has won the respect of Tang Jingyan. Having these three excellent comrades as leaders ensures the purity of the team. In addition, Su Yu also inserted 38 party members into the newly merged "soup group" to ideologically purify the entire unit and ensure that there is no mistake in action.
Everything is arranged, and the "defection" process is almost arranged. How can Tang Jingyan's troops "defect" without arousing the suspicion of the enemy? Since the drama should be done in a full set, it is still necessary to send the heads that should be sent to the enemy.
Of course, our army will definitely not take the heads of its comrades to complete this adventure. Just when Su Yu did not know where to start, it was at this very moment that the anti-enemy special intelligence organization within our army captured three internal traitors who had secretly collaborated with the enemy.
Su Yu had a bright idea and decided to use the heads of these three traitors to sacrifice the flag and cooperate with the "Tang Tuan Action".
Su Yu and others had already made the plan almost seamless, but the officers and men under the "Soup Tuan" couldn't figure it out! In particular, the officers and men fighting in the front line of the company and platoon are even more weeping bitterly.
Yes, the good manners put Chinese not do, but they have to wear "yellow dog skins" and wear the hat of a traitor, which is pointed out by thousands of people and spurned by thousands of people. For why? Is it just the bottom line of giving up being a Chinese for the sake of the glory and wealth of the Japanese? Is it because he is afraid of death and confesses to being a thief and living as a father?
I really can't figure it out, I can't think of it! , Lao Tzu is no longer dry! The four soldiers of the hot-blooded boy Han first heard that they were going to go to the Japanese to be "two dogs", and immediately left Tang Jingyan with indignation, scolding and grinning.
Tang Jingyan began to realize the seriousness of the problem. He immediately decided to call a meeting of all 38 members of the regiment, who had the right to know the real situation! Then, Deputy Regiment Commander Shen convened a meeting of cadres above the platoon level and told everyone in euphemistic language: "At present, we must preserve the group, preserve our strength, and wear fake military clothes for the time being." The cadres heard the meaning of the string, and the anger gradually subsided. When party members and cadres stabilize their emotions, so do the mood of the soldiers.
Sun Wuzi said: "Those who want the same desire from top to bottom win", now it is properly arranged from top to bottom, so let's go!
In the early morning of April 15, the "Tang Tuan" garrison sounded a dense gunfire, everything went as smoothly as the "rehearsal" in advance, and our army killed 3 real traitors on the spot in the "melee", so that their bodies provided evidence of infighting with the "rebel" troops and the New Fourth Army.
When Tang Jingyan pulled his troops to Nantong, one by one he was out of breath. His face was full of smoke, and it was as if he had escaped from a fierce battle. The Japanese puppet army checked, and sure enough, 3 people of the New Fourth Army were wiped out by the soup tuan, who could be willing to be so bitter? Jiang Songping was convinced of this.
After the "Tang Tuan" and "defection", it was organized as the "Field Guard Regiment of the Qingxiang Office of Northern Jiangsu Province", which belonged to the special force unit, and the regimental headquarters was arranged in Maozhen. This place is far from the port, and Tang Jingyan pondered: Not allowing the troops to contact the ports along the river shows that the enemy is wary of us. Didn't the troops pay such a high price just to break into the heart of the enemy and use the waterway to deliver supplies to the beleaguered New Fourth Army? Now that they have been held back by the enemy, has "surrendered to the enemy" lost its meaning? Say anything and find a way to break into the port zone!
Tang Jingyan frowned, counting on the heart, you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, secretly guarding against my troops entering the port, then I can always do business! Tang Jingyan found Jiang Songping for consultation, and together they cooperated to open a trading house to transport supplies.
This is in the heart of Jiang Songping, the head of the secret service who is greedy for money and profits, but Jiang Songping has always been suffering from the lack of a suitable spokesperson, and now Tang Jingyan actually offered to cooperate with him to do business, which is really a good thing that cannot be found with a lantern!
Therefore, the head of the secret service smiled and lit a large number of tickets, and the New Fourth Army also counted the munitions and supplies in one boat, and everyone was very happy, everyone was very happy! But gradually, Jiang Songping, who came from a secret service, sensed that something was wrong: Tang Jingyan earned the silver of white flowers, but he was reluctant to spend, and his style was extremely decent.
As for Jiang Songping's suspicions, how could he escape Tang Jingyan's sharp eyesight, and Tang Jingyan understood that if he continued like this, he would only increase the enemy's suspicions about himself. For the sake of the revolution, open up! Eating, drinking, gambling and smoking, right? Want to play "five poisons" right? The drama has come to this point, so let's play the whole set!
Since then, Tang Jingyan has changed like a person, becoming a regular customer of the Qinglou, tobacco house, casino, and restaurant, a big feast in ten days, a small banquet in five days, and a "degenerate puppet army" with a "rogue appearance" alive.
Jiang Songping, the head of the secret service, was relieved: The qinggao who dared to love the previous time was originally a pretense! If that's the case, then I'm sure I'll make a lot of money!
Jiang Songping was leveled, but then Tang Jingyan had to face a more brutal challenge.
Jiang Songping, the head of the special agent, and Zhang Beisheng, director of the Qingxiang Office, have always fought openly and secretly, and the two have secretly developed their own forces, Zhang Beisheng saw that Jiang Songping's men had suddenly increased by more than 600 people, and his heart was immediately unbalanced. He wanted to find a breakthrough from the "soup group", catch Jiang Songping's charge of adultery with the enemy bandits, and completely collapse Jiang Songping.
In this way, the "soup dumplings" became the focus of Zhang Beisheng's crackdown. Tang Jingyan must not only be wary of the agents, but also be wary of the Nantong Qingxiang Office. Sleep with your eyes open, and with a little negligence, the lives of more than 600 people in the whole regiment will be completely finished.
When the contradiction between Zhang Beisheng and Jiang Songping intensified. The puppet governor Li Shiqun suddenly stepped in from it, and he took advantage of Jiang Songping's special relationship of being a close confidant, and also participated in the conspiracy struggle for the soup dumplings.
Li Shiqun preemptively summoned Tang Jingyan to Suzhou, and he was also courteous, and he was also a knight, and he was a brother in his mouth, and he took out a guy in his hand and gave it to him. As for Li Shiqun's attitude of trying his best to win over, Tang Jingyan understood that Li Shiqun's recruitment was to compete with the Xiaolin Division and Zhang Beisheng. Anyway, how to do it is beneficial to the enemy between dog bites dog, just do it! Tang Jingyan happily accepted Li Shiqun's invitation and became an important force under the big tree of Li Shiqun.
Things did turn out as he expected, and when Tang Jingyan returned from Suzhou, Xiaolin and Zhang Beisheng were furious and asked Jiang Songping xingshi one after another: Why should the agent be armed? Why did you give the "soup dumplings" to Li Shiqun's dog thing? Hand over the "soup dumplings" immediately! Otherwise there you look good!
Although Jiang Songping was a secret agent leader, after all, his arm could not reach his thigh, so he had to obediently hand over the "soup dumplings" to Zhang Beisheng, who was leaning back on the Japanese, and the beam between them was getting deeper and deeper.
Zhang Beisheng got the coveted "soup dumplings", but he did not reuse Tang Jingyan's troops, what he wanted to do was to take the "soup dumplings" apart for his own use. Therefore, Zhang Beisheng transferred all the "Tang Tuan" to Nantong and put Tang Jingyan and his troops under house arrest.
One day, Zhang Beisheng feasted on Tang Jingyan with a smile on his face, and he said to Tang Jingyan: "Brother! I have given you the position of county magistrate, what do you think? ”
Tang Jingyan listened: Isn't this obviously to break up the "soup balls"? In the days of passing tricks with Zhang Beisheng, he understood that Zhang Beisheng was a person who ate hard and did not eat soft, and the more you were fierce to him, the more he was afraid, a typical slave appearance.
Tang Jingyan replied with a smile: "I said ugly things in the front, my troops were pulled up by my own hand, I dare not say that it is a family army, it is almost a foot and brother army." As soon as I leave this unit, within 3 days, you will not be able to leave even half of the people. Then Hugh blamed me for not making it clear. ”
Zhang Beisheng heard the weight of the threat in his words. He was a little frightened, and if the troops dispersed, his black gauze hat would not be able to be saved. He hurriedly said, "If you don't want to be a county order, why bother with it!" Come, drink, don't talk about state. ”
Coming out of Zhang Beisheng's mansion, Tang Jingyan was covered in cold sweat, although this time he escaped from the tiger's mouth without any danger, but he was not sure when this "two dogs" would come out with any more moths. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Tang Jingyan felt that if he continued like this, I was afraid that there would be less fierceness and more ji, and he would have to hurry back to the New Fourth Army "anyway".
Just as Tang Jingyan was suffering like a year, the enemy began to bite the dog inside. In September, the Kobayashi division "Qingxiang" suffered a crushing defeat, the puppet governor Li Shiqun was poisoned in an infighting, all of Li Shiqun's agents were purged, and the "Tang Tuan" was in a precarious situation.
Su Yu saw that the situation of the "Tang Tuan" against the enemy was not good, and he hurriedly ordered the "Tang Tuan" to withdraw quickly to ensure that it was complete.
When the "Tang Tuan" received Su Yu's order, the whole group burst into tears: finally completed the task, and could return to the "mother's house". "Dog Day! Take off this 'dog skin' and we'll fight back."
On September 29, when Tang Jingyan had brought together the enemy's large and small leaders to play cards, and the Japanese and puppet officers who were winning money and xing were having a good time, Tang Jingyan raised his hand and shot the Japanese and pseudo officers at the card table, and then the "Tang Regiment" all went out, killing 6 people at the secret service station, and then pulled out more than 10 strongholds and district offices in one go.
Under the assistance of the Third Brigade of the New Fourth Army, the "big girl" did not lose a single hair and returned to the "mother's house" smoothly.
After Tang Jingyan and others completed their tasks brilliantly, Su Yuxi promoted him to three consecutive ranks, Tang Jingyan was promoted to deputy commander of the "joint resistance", and Gu Fusheng was made director of the political office. Shen Zhongyi was the leader of the 2nd Regiment. Continue to write your own honor and disgrace in the united front of the War of Resistance.
In 1945, after 14 years of arduous resistance by all the Chinese, the end of the Japanese was coming, and the puppet troops found a way out for themselves. But among them, there are also hardcore traitors who stubbornly continue to make enemies of the people.
Among these stubborn "two dogs", there was a puppet army officer who was once Tang Jingyan's former friend. In order to take the garrison of the puppet army's "old friends" without bloodshed and publicize our army's policy of leniency, Tang Jingyan sent his eldest son, Tang Xinmin, to the enemy camp alone to persuade his old friend to get lost and return.
What is unexpected is that this "hardcore traitor" who has already gone mad did not remember his old friendship, but threw Tang Xinmin, who had come to frankly persuade him, into the rolling Yangtze River, and Comrade Tang Xinmin was martyred in a heroic way!
In 1948, Tang Jingyan used his life to write a magnificent sad song in his life again. When Tang Jingyan, then secretary of the party committee, political commissar, deputy commander, and chief of staff, and Commander Ding Xishan entered the mountains of Eastern Zhejiang to fight the Kuomintang, they were besieged by the enemy's heavy troops, and the commander Ding Xishan was killed, while Tang Jingyan was wounded and captured and detained in Shanghai Prison.
Three months later, Tang Jingyan, who was shackled and shackled and full of shackles, was escorted to the Shanghai Jiangwan Execution Ground for execution. Before his execution, he greeted the sunset of the sunset, looked at the fiery clouds in the sky, everything seemed so quiet, he looked back at the direction of Suzhong where he had fought; he remembered the brothers who had fought with him in those years; he remembered the bloody scene when he defected from the Kuomintang to the New Fourth Army, everything seemed to be close at hand, as if in a trance.
Everything seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed. What has changed is that the Chinese nation has gone from a century of vicissitudes and trampling on by others to being about to move toward rejuvenation; what has not changed is the iron-blooded pride of my sons and daughters who swore to die for the country.
It's time to say goodbye to your dear comrades-in-arms, kill Tang Jingyan, and those who come after you! The spark of revolution will last forever, "Rise! Hungry slaves! Get up! People who suffer all over the world! The blood is boiling and fighting for the truth..."
Tang Jingyan, who sang the desolate "Internationale", stepped on the guillotine, and after a piercing gunshot, the blood and tears of the martyrs spilled into the sky...
On May 14, 1948, the martyr Tang Jingyan bravely died at the age of 44! After the founding of New China, Tang Jingyan was posthumously recognized as a martyr, and in August 2009, Tang Jingyan was named one of the 50 candidates for Jiangsu heroes and model figures who made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China.
When the news of Tang Jingyan's sacrifice came, General Su Yu wept bitterly, and he could no longer restrain his feelings after a long time of fighting and seeing life and death, and his tears were like the waters of the river that broke the embankment, what a good comrade! Why did Heaven treat him so unfairly, I will never see Lao Tang again...
