Luo Ruiqing did not bat an eyelid and paced back and forth in the room. There are only three things we have to do in the future!
"The first thing is revenge, the second is revenge, and the third thing is revenge."
Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou could not return to their minds for a long time after hearing this bad news. Why did Luo Ruiqing issue such a military order in front of the entire Eighth Route Army troops? Why did Peng Dehuai not say a word?
What kind of thing happened that made Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Peng Dehuai and Luo Ruiqing look at each other. These four founding generals were all distressed by how serious and serious it must have been!
Many people learned later that it was because of the sudden death of a good Red Army general.
On May 25, 1942, the Chinese Communist Party lost a senior general. From the founding of the Communist Party of China to its development, our party has become more and more prosperous so far, relying on the good intentions of countless communists.
The eighth route army general I want to talk about today died, only 37 years old at the time, but he has already achieved the position of deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army. He was also the highest-ranking general of our army who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
When news of his death reached Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou, as well as to several CCP leaders, including Zhu De and Peng Dehuai. The whole room was silent, and they were all thinking about how to speak. Upon learning that the shameless Japanese had trampled Zuo Quan's body after his death, the CCP leaders fell silent. Peng Dehuai and Luo Ruiqing immediately had the urge to roll up their sleeves and fight the Japanese army.
In order to avenge Zuo Quan, he also cracked down on the arrogance of the Japanese Kou. Peng Dehuai decided to take matters into his own hands, wanting Rikou to know that Chinese was not easy to mess with. I want these Japanese devils to know that you have to pay a corresponding price for bullying us.
Why did the left power sacrifice? Why did Riko get his body after his sacrifice? What kind of strategy did Peng Dehuai use to avenge his hatred?
So many mysteries have to start with the "beheading conspiracy".
On August 20, 1940, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments began. The Chinese army and the Japanese army confronted each other head-on, and for this reason the Chinese Eighth Route Army invested more than 400,000 troops, which was also the most invested and longest-lasting battle in the anti-Japanese battlefield since the War of Resistance Against Japan.
The victor of the Hundred Regiments War was naturally China, but in this time-consuming and laborious battle, China did not eat any good fruit. Although the battle dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army, they were like crazy water weeds, and they quickly retaliated against the Chinese army.
In order to let the Eighth Route Army show its due strength, and also to arrogant the arrogance of the Japanese, we did our best in the Hundred Regiments War. But there was also a drawback to this, that is, the Japanese army quickly transferred the combat firepower from the Kuomintang army to us.
But my general is not afraid, he has his ladder through the clouds, I have my canoe bridge. When the Japanese army frantically swept through the base areas of our army, we fought ambush warfare and guerrilla warfare with them. Use the trick of the dragon to see the beginning and the end, so that they can't do anything.
The cunning Japanese Okamura Ningji, when he found that he could not defeat our army at all by means of guerrilla warfare, thought of a crooked move. In fact, this crooked move was not what he thought, but the first commander of the Japanese Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, thought.
In early 1942, Iwamatsu planned a secret mission code-named "C" and put it in front of Okamura Ninji, convincing him that if this secret battle plan succeeded, he would be able to severely damage the Eighth Route Army and even disintegrate the Eighth Route Army.
Okamura Ningji, as soon as he heard this, he lifted his spirits. He also heard Yoshio Iwamatsu say: "The purpose of this secret battle plan is to sabotage the CCP organs and all command organs and assassinate all the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army." ”
He was still half-convinced of the battle plan, but when he heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. He really hated the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army, so he sent two elite detachments to assist Iwamatsu Yoshio in completing his mission. These two squads are the "Mashiko Advance Team" led by Mashiko Shigeo and the "Okawa Advance Team" led by Momoyoshi Okawa.
Although we call it the Assassination Squad, this Squad is also an elite unit, because he has four leaders and more than 100 elite Japanese troops. The "Dachuan Advance Team" was responsible for investigating the hidden location of the headquarters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and after finding out, they wanted to assassinate or capture the commanders of the troops alive, Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, by catching turtles in an urn.
Another "Yizi Advance Team" was responsible for finding out the intelligence information of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and finding their exact location, so that the senior generals of the Eighth Route Army, including Peng Dehuai, Zuo Quan and others, could be swept away.
Although this plan is a bit whimsical to hear here, you can still see the brutality of the Japanese. In order to complete this assassination mission, the two advance teams did a considerable amount of preparation before setting out.
For example, they examined the personal characteristics of all the senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army in detail and found their photos. You know, they often hover around the Taihang Mountains. So he quietly began to investigate near the Taihang Mountains
Mashiko advanced to the team and took the lead on May 21, 1942. Because the members of the advance team had all been rigorously trained before this, and they were all elites of the troops. Whether it is in terms of cover and combat ability and mobility, it is a leader.
What is even more cunning is that these Japanese agents also disguised themselves as the Eighth Route Army, and they operated unscrupulously near the Taihang Mountains in broad daylight. Because their disguise was too good, they deceived many people. So they quickly figured out the location of the Eighth Route Army's base area. But they underestimated the strength of our army, and the Japanese army was so swaggering on our army's territory that it was a fool's dream not to alarm us.
It turned out that our army had already mastered the Japanese army's sweeping plan and planned to make a strategic transfer of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army on the evening of May 24. In this way, even if the Japanese army reached the original position, they could only pounce.
But the problem is that our Eighth Route Army headquarters is not only about senior generals, but also about hospital party schools and the wounded. If the strategic shift is to be withdrawn from here, there are a lot of supplies to be delivered. For a moment and a half, it was impossible to disappear into the sight of the Japanese army out of thin air.
But The Maeko advance was very aggressive, and even though the Eighth Route Army had accelerated its pace, it only moved more than twenty kilometers overnight, stopping in the area of Cross Ridge.
At that time, it was surrounded by Japanese sweeping troops, and the combat troops of the Eighth Route Army were very small. Although the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was an important military base, the heavily guarded Japanese army here in peacetime could not grasp it at all. At present, there are only less than 10,000 combat troops here, and if they want to confront more than 30,000 Japanese sweeping troops, they cannot think hard.
Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan
Thinking about peng dehuai and Zuo Quan, they each insisted on their own words. Peng Dehuai believed that Zuo Quan could lead the guard battalion and kill a bloody road ahead, and then Luo Ruiqing took the Political Department out of this bloody road. There were also the logistics troops led by Yang Sanli in the back, and the special task force led by Peng Dehuai, and the battle plan was perfect.
But Zuo Quan was very stubborn, believing that it was safest for the guard battalion to stay at the end. Because the rear is the soul of the whole army. Only by defending the rear front can we do our best.
In fact, Peng Dehuai and Zuo Quan were not wrong, they both wanted to keep the most dangerous tasks to themselves.
The two men argued, and in the end it was Zuo Quan who "persuaded" Peng Dehuai. "You are the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and you still have hope in the troops."
"I order you to protect Peng Zong's safety at all costs." After Zuo Quan said this, he let several guard soldiers around him put Peng Dehuai on horseback. His only purpose was to let Peng Dehuai charge in the front, while he stayed in the rear to protect Peng Dehuai's safety.
At that time, neither Peng Dehuai nor Zuo Quan expected that these were the last two sentences they said.
After Peng Dehuai was sent away, Zuo Quan stayed behind the palace here. At 2:00 p.m. on the same day, Tang Wancheng and others who helped Peng Dehuai break through returned to Zuoquan, which also brought good news about the success of the breakthrough. Tang Wanbi wanted to immediately break through with Zuo Quan, but Zuo Quan rejected this suggestion.
Zuo Quan understood better than anyone that the breakthrough was simple, but to ensure that all the soldiers in the army could get out of here safely, he had to stay until the end.
But he did not expect that four hours later, when he was about to leave here, a shell exploded beside her, and Zuo Quan remained on the battlefield forever.
After Zuo Quan's sacrifice, the troops were leaderless. Looking at the Japanese in front of them, they could only mark Zuo Quan as a marker and wait for victory before returning to transfer him. What's the name, put the yellow backpack on Zuo Quan's body, and transferred him to the bushes around Literacy Ridge. The news of Zuo Quan's death was also transmitted back to the army.
When Peng Dehuai heard the news and saw Zuo Quan's relic, the pistol he had always used, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He made up his mind to wait for the japanese sweep to end, and then he must personally meet his comrades.
The news of Zuo Quan's death soon spread throughout the army. When Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou learned of this news, they did not enter the water all day. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De wrote a eulogy for him: "The famous general martyred the country with his body, and is willing to fight for the defense of Wuhua with blood." Taihang Hao's qi has been passed down through the ages, leaving Qingzhang vomiting blood flowers. ”
The war continues, and in order not to grow the enemy, the ambition to destroy their own prestige. I chose to temporarily conceal the news of Zuo Quan's death, and only announced to the outside world that the Eighth Route Army had suffered a heavy blow.
But no one expected that the Japanese army recognized Zuo Quan and even ravaged his body in every way in order to fight against the Eighth Route Army.
When the eighth route army headquarters broke through successfully. The Mashiko advance team is still a thief who is not dead, and they want to find out the flaws of the Eighth Route Army. They wanted to find out the new headquarters address of the Eighth Route Army, so they followed our army. By chance, they learned of the death of General Zuo Quan, so they found the grave of General Zuo Quan.
The distraught Japanese army not only opened the grave of General Zuo. He also opened his coffin, dragged the body of the anti-Japanese hero General Zuo Quan out of the coffin, and took many photos of his body being trampled.
Even more distraught, they also published the photographs in newspapers. When Peng Dehuai and others saw these photos, his entire popularity did not come to a fight, and he clenched his fists and said that he would definitely make the Japanese army pay the blood debt.
In October 1942, the Eighth Route Army held a burial ceremony for General Zuo Quan. The generals of the Eighth Route Army stood in front of general Zuo Quan's tomb and were determined to avenge him.
Peng Dehuai, as Zuo Quan's old partner, was the one who could not swallow this breath the most. He first wrote the "Comrade Zuo Quan Inscription" for his old partner, praising the merits of his old partner in this life.
Then he also took Zuo Quan's daughter Zuo Taibei to his side and took her like his own daughter.
The last thing he did was avenge his old partner. Shortly after the death of his old partner. Peng Dehuai led the 129th Division in the Ambush Battle of Suting, destroyed more than 140 Japanese devils and blew up the Japanese Changzhi Airport, which was damaged, and their three A-A aircraft, three cars, and an oil depot. 88 Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot.
For Peng Dehuai, this is not enough to make him vent his hatred.
Chinese New Year's Eve Night in 1942. Mashiko marched into the team and gathered together to prepare a dinner party. They were proud of the secret assassination plan they had planned before, but they did not expect that Peng Dehuai had also prepared an assassination team for them.
After the death of General Zuo Quan, Peng Dehuai has been paying attention to this Mashiko advance team, seeing them as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Therefore, they also formed an assassination squad in the Eighth Route Army.
At the end of December 1942, our army received reliable information. The Mako advance team will gather at the Dadexing Hotel in Qi County, Shanxi On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve. What other celebration party is there? This made Peng Dehuai angry. Therefore, he ordered that he must avenge General Zuo Quan and protect the safety of our troops.
Chinese New Year's Eve this day, the Dade Hing Hotel is more lively than ever. The people here looked overjoyed. Masuko's advance team did not perceive the slightest breath of danger, nor did she know that her death was near.
At 10:00 p.m., the members of the Mashiko Advance Squad were already drunk, and the assassination squad organized by Peng Dehuai pulled out their waists and prepared weapons to eliminate them in half an hour. These hateful Japanese devils were not too much to slash, and when Liu Manhe, as the head of the assassination squad, was leaving, he ordered the members of their assassination squad to cut off the heads of all the Japanese devils.
Therefore, in the early morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year in 1943, the walls of Qi County, Shanxi, Taiyuan, Shanxi, And other places were hung on the walls of The Head of the Yizi Advance Team Members General Zuo Quan took revenge.
For our army, General Zuo Quan is a rare talent. To be humiliated is to humiliate the whole of China. Such humiliation is intolerable. The soldiers who killed the enemy on the front line defended our territorial security with their lives, so why should we not avenge them after their deaths?
