The two parties have had antagonisms and cooperation in history, and after the japanese invasion of China has intensified day by day, the two parties have reached a united front for the survival of the nation.
First, the main force of our Party was reorganized by the Kuomintang and became the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army (referred to as the Eighth Route Army), and then the guerrilla units of the eight southern provinces of our Party were also reorganized into the new Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army (hereinafter referred to as the New Fourth Army). It looks like the situation is very good.
But
In Chiang Kai-shek's mind, the greatest enemy has always been our Party, so there have always been heavy troops stationed in northern Shaanxi, and the small actions secretly made by the Kuomintang have never stopped. Out of the needs of the united front, most of our party adopted a tolerant approach, but unexpectedly, this actually fueled the ambitions of the Kuomintang, so that it eventually led to the tragic Anhui Incident.
Speaking of a relatively cold knowledge, the three main figures of the Anhui Southern Incident: Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater, and Shangguan Yunxiang, commander-in-chief of the Thirty-second Group Army, were actually classmates of the sixth term of the Baoding Military Academy.
Gu Zhutong was the main planner of the Anhui Southern Incident, and Shangguan Yunxiang was the direct executor, so the executioner that our party hated most at that time was Shangguan Yunxiang, the executioner, and Chen Yi, who was then the commander of the 1st detachment of the New 4th Army, openly said after learning the news:
This vendetta must be repaid! Must be alive to cut shangguan yunxiang!
Before the anhui incident, the call for a unified war of resistance in the country was still very high, and whoever caused civil unrest in a dignified manner was bound to be spurned by thousands of people, and the reason why Shangguan Yunxiang was selected to be the executor was mainly because he was shameless enough!
Shangguan Yunxiang was born in Shanghe, Shandong in 1895, and when he was young, he suffered from the white eyes of his villagers because of his family's poverty, so his heart was very twisted.
In 1917, he was admitted to the sixth infantry section of the Baoding Army Officer School, and there were many celebrities in this period, in addition to Gu Zhutong and Ye Ting, there were also excellent generals such as Xue Yue, Zhang Fakui, and Deng Yanda.
After graduation, Shangguan Yunxiang turned to the Beiyang warlord Sun Chuanfang, who still had some ability, and had always been the commander of the Fourth Division in Sun Bu, and in October 1926, he fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army in Nanchang.
After Sun Chuanfang's rout in 1928, Shangguan Yunxiang was taken in by Chiang Kai-shek and has since worked hard for the old Chiang Kai-shek. He was able to get Chiang Kai-shek's reuse, in addition to the efforts of his old classmate Gu Zhutong, he also did his best to "suppress the Communists."
Whether it was the Central Red Army or the Red Fourth Front, he led his troops to participate in "encirclement and suppression", especially in the Yingshan and Luotian areas, where he harassed for half a year and carried out bloody destruction of the Red Army base areas. Later, during the Long March of the Red Army, he was also ordered to pursue all the way.
That is to say, since the period of the Red Army, he has had a bloody vendetta with our Party!
Shangguan Yunxiang, who was born in the old warlord, had an extremely corrupt life, and Chiang Kai-shek once allocated funds to build roads for him, but as a result, he embezzled most of the road construction funds and was sued, which made Chiang Kai-shek quite angry and removed him from his post.
However, the money that Shangguan Yunxiang embezzled was not spent by him alone, and after dotting up and down, it didn't take long for him to make a comeback again.
At the same time, he also told us with his actions what it means to fight a war and to return business to business: When he "encircled and suppressed" the Red Army, he also sent people to infiltrate the base areas to smuggle cotton on many occasions, and obtained huge profits from it.
With so much money, the most he spent on himself was opium smoking! This kind of thing that makes the people of the country resentful when they think of it is Shangguan Yunxiang's favorite thing on weekdays.
Therefore, such a person with all five poisons is very suitable for doing dirty things in Chiang Kai-shek's view.
Since October 1940, Chiang Kai-shek has wanted to attack the New Fourth Army, and has been sending orders to the various units of the New Fourth Army to transfer defenses, with the purpose of creating incidents on the way.
Our Party has argued several times on the basis of reason, but Chiang Kai-shek is the nominal leader, and they have moved out
"Mobilization is a military order and must be carried out"
statement.
In order to take into account the overall situation and persist in uniting in the War of Resistance, our party had no choice but to let the troops of the New Fourth Army stationed in southern Anhui go north of the Yangtze River.
Since he had to pass through Gu Zhutong's defense zone on the way, Ye Ting considered that everyone was a classmate and there should be no mistakes, so he first sent a power to say hello.
Gu Zhutong immediately called back to "guarantee the safety of the New Fourth Army with political personality," and when he said this, Ye Ting, Xiang Ying, and others were relieved. But it is clear that everyone has underestimated the shamelessness of the Kuomintang reactionaries.
Although Gu Zhutong was very sincere in replying to the telegram, he had secretly followed Chiang Kai-shek's secret orders and arranged for Shangguan Yunxiang to go to ambush him, and his troops exceeded 80,000 people!
In January 1941, not long after the New Fourth Army of more than 9,000 people were mobilized, they were intercepted by heavy Kuomintang troops. Due to the heavy rain that fell every day, our army carried too many items and was not prepared, so it was difficult to break through desperately.
Shangguan Yunxiang was very the front line, and he conveyed Chiang Kai-shek's orders:
The reward for catching Ye Ting alive is 100,000 yuan, and the capture of Xiang Ying or Zhou Zikun and Yuan Guoping alive is 50,000 yuan.
At the same time, anyone who let go of the generals of the New Fourth Army will be removed from their posts and investigated. When Xiang Ying broke through from the nationalist 144th Division with a few generals, Shangguan Yunxiang immediately arrested the division commander.
Under the combined efforts of Enwei, the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist army this time was also very strong, which led to the successful breakthrough of a small number of people led by Fu Qiutao, about 7,000 soldiers of the New Fourth Army were annihilated or scattered, which was a devastating blow.
The main leaders of the New Fourth Army also ended up in a tragic situation, with commander Ye Ting going to negotiate for the survival of the troops and being detained as a result; deputy commander Xiang Ying and chief of staff Zhou Zikun being killed by traitors after breaking through the siege; yuan Guoping, director of the political department, who did not want to drag the troops down after being injured, and committed suicide with a gun.
The most ironic thing is that after Chiang Kai-shek had done all this, he strictly forbade the Communist Party to report on the matter, but any documents exposing the truth of the incident would be seized. Zhou Enlai was so anxious that he could only write it in xinhua daily
Thousands of ancient injustices, Jiangnan yiye; roommate, frying He Urgently
Inscription.
There was more than one person who was so angry that Zhou Enlai served as the first person, and Chen Yi also mobilized in the first detachment of the New Fourth Army, all of which vowed to take revenge and cut Shangguan Yunxiang alive.
Shangguan Yun was praised by Chiang Kai-shek at some point, but soon the wind evaluation changed. People from all walks of life and democratic parties in society have launched protests one after another, overseas Chinese have also spoken out against separatism, and even the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain in the world have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Kuomintang.
In order to appease the anger of the people, Chiang Kai-shek pushed the direct executor, Shangguan Yunxiang, out of the pot, dismissed him from his real power post, and then held some false positions. Because of this, our army has never had the opportunity to meet him on the battlefield.
On the eve of the Battle of Pingjin, Shangguan Yunxiang knew that the Kuomintang had gone, and that he would certainly be settled by the Autumn Queen, so he sneaked to Shanghai early and later ran to Taiwan. It is a great pity that he was not put on trial by the people.
In Taiwan, the powerless And powerless Shangguan Yunxiang could only live a reclusive life, and in his later years, he did not know whether his conscience found out that he had actually become a monk and called himself "Gumu Monk".
In 1969, Shangguan Yunxiang died of illness in Taiwan at the age of 74.
If it is said that the two armies are opposed, and everyone belongs to different camps, he can defeat our army. During the Liberation War, Chen Mingren and Fu Zuoyi both caused great casualties to our army, and in the end they still received preferential treatment.
However, Shangguan Yunxiang and his brothers at the crucial moment of the anti-Japanese resistance were still engaged in sneak attacks and secret calculations, which was really shameful!
Salute to the loyal and indomitable warriors at the time of the Anhui Southern Incident!
