One night in mid-April 1943, Su Yu received a message that a regiment in the Soviet-Chinese base area had defected en masse to the enemy.
After learning of this incident, Su Yu immediately led his troops to suppress it, and after a fierce battle, he betrayed this regiment of our army and successfully escaped from the New Fourth Army and fled to the camp of the Japanese puppet army.
However, what was unexpected was that in this fierce battle, only three people died, and these three people were the soldiers around Su Yu.
When Su Yu saw the three corpses lying motionless on the ground, and then looked at the rebels who had already run to the enemy's garrison, Su Yu's face was not only not angry, but he sighed and expressed his inner joy. But in this glimmer of joy, there is also worry.
Before this unit defected, in early April 1943, the Japanese army invading China shifted the focus of its sweep to the central Soviet region of our army.
But at this moment, the once invincible invaders, because all the men of the Japanese mainland were put on the battlefield, did not have extra troops to send to China.
Many Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded on the battlefield, resulting in fewer and fewer Japanese troops on the battlefield. In order to strengthen their sweeping of the base areas, they not only transferred a large number of puppet troops, but also transferred a large number of Japanese troops from other theaters.
At this time, the total number of Japanese troops reached more than 15,000 people, and in a sense, the number of people who wanted to use these people to sweep up the Soviet and Central Base Areas was still far from enough. So the Japanese army began black propaganda and sugar-coated shells, and surrendered everywhere in my base area.
Under the enticing conditions of the Japanese invaders, many soldiers fell into sugar-coated shells. Among them is Zhang Beisheng and Jiang Songping, who not only betrayed the motherland themselves, but also co-opted their friends and invited them to betray the motherland together.
Among the many objects they co-opted, there was a person named Tang Jingyan, who was called the Five Poisons General by the people at that time.
Although Tang Jingyan's reputation is not good in the hearts of the people, there are still about 600 self-defense groups under his hands. For Zhang Beisheng and Jiang Songping, they had just defected to the Japanese and had to make useful contributions to the Japanese, so wooing Tang Jingyan was an opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions.
Not long after, Tang Jingyan, disguised as a businessman, came to Nantong and secretly met with Zhang Beisheng and Jiang Songping, two ethnic scum.
After several greetings, Tang Jingyan prepared to lead his troops in a rebellion.

At that time, after the large-scale sweeping of the base area by the Japanese puppet army, it brought inevitable losses to the base area, and it was at this time that Su Yu and the Tao Figurines of the Fourth Military Sub-district of Central Jiangsu came up with a total of a countermeasure to break the enemy.
They decided to let a regiment penetrate into the interior of the enemy and cooperate with our army's actions when necessary.
It is undeniable that this is a very dangerous and bold plan, but this plan is very difficult to operate in practice, and it is necessary to ensure the purity of every soldier and to ensure that they do not betray the motherland under the bombardment of sugar-coated shells. These are uncontrollable factors,
Just when Su Yu was at a loss for this matter, someone sent a pillow to dozing off, and Su Yu received a secret report from Tang Jingyan.
Tell Su Yu that Zhang and Jiang, who have become traitors, persuade him to join the Japanese together, and hear that this incident is really a blessing in disguise.
So Su Yu and Tao Yu urgently formulated a battle plan, in order to ensure that this regiment could penetrate the enemy perfectly, and finally, Su Yu decided to merge Shen Zhongyi's troops with Tang Jingyan's troops.
Tang Jing served as the regimental commander of this unit, and Shen Zhongyi and Gu Fusheng, who were very loyal to our party, became the deputy regimental commanders and political commissars of this regiment, respectively.
In addition to these two people, Su Yu sent 38 party members to this unit, thus ensuring the purity of this unit as a whole.
Although their superiors all knew the reason for this, some officers and men did not understand it, and even many soldiers directly left the unit.
Su Yu began to do ideological education work for many soldiers, telling the grassroots soldiers the origin of the matter. A simple sentence made the soldiers understand the leader's painstaking heart, and then Tang Jingyan led the troops to the japanese puppet army camp.
In September 1943, the Japanese army's sweep of the Soviet central area had come to an end, and the fish had been hooked, and they were almost finished.
On the evening of September 23, Tang Jingyan received a message from Su Yu: At 11:00 p.m. on the 26th, he broke through the ground. On the evening of the 26th, after Tang Jingyan led his troops to annihilate the Japanese puppet army in the surrounding area, he led his troops to the garrison of the New Fourth Army overnight.
When the Japanese army received the news on the 27th, they learned that Tang Jingyan had returned to our troops, and they never dreamed that the Chinese army was so bold that it was willing to send a regiment in as an undercover agent.
It is regrettable that in 1948, Tang Jingyan's troops met the Kuomintang reactionaries in Fengxian County, and due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, Tang Jingyan's troops were completely annihilated.
Therefore, Tang Jingyan was also wounded and captured, and on the afternoon of May 14, 1948, the national reactionaries in Shanghai decided to shoot Tang Jingyan, although this ending was heart-wrenching, but I wish the hero all the way.
