After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Xiao Hua led the army into the northeast, and he was also one of the first leading cadres of our army to enter the northeast.
However, when Xiao Hua arrived in the Northeast, he found that the problem was not simple, it turned out that their weapons and equipment were not enough, in the face of such a dilemma, Xiao Hua calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly his head flashed, and he had an idea.
In order to obtain weapons, he ordered people to buy roast chicken, roast meat, and good wine, and asked the soldiers to drive two trucks, threatening to fill the trucks.
Can Xiao Hua really get back weapons with good wine and meat? Faced with the situation that the entire army lacks weapons, where will he go to find weapons?
Pay attention to see how Xiao Hua outwits weapons.
Advance to the Northeast
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the central authorities decided to readjust the overall strategic policy, and the new policy was to advance to the north and defend in the south.
In accordance with the policy of the central authorities, the Shandong Military Region decided to mobilize 30,000 troops to march to the northeast, thus opening the prelude to our army's advance into the northeast.
Xiao Hua also understood that this matter was very important, so he hurriedly integrated his troops into the northeast as soon as possible, but after arriving in the northeast, Xiao Hua found a problem, they were very short of weapons.
When leaving, the time is tight and the task is heavy, Xiao Hua's task is not only to advance into the Northeast, but also to take root in the Northeast, hold here, and guard our party's forces in the Northeast.
Northeast China was occupied by Japan before, the Japanese invaders entrenched here for many years, in order to facilitate the implementation of the plan to invade China, the Japanese invaders built a lot of factories and transportation lines in the local area, compared with other regions, Northeast China had the most complete industrial system and the most communication lines in the region at that time, the industrial base was significantly stronger.
After the Japanese invaders retreated, we could smoothly use these remaining industrial facilities to develop our revolutionary cause. However, at that time, China was not all under the control of our party, and most of the territory was still under the control of the Kuomintang, and it was also an important thing for us to seize territory.
Therefore, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our party began to march into the northeast to seize the advantage of the northeast region first, and also decided to set up the Northeast Bureau to continue to develop the strength of the Communist Party in the northeast.
Since the decision to advance into the Northeast has been made, the Shandong Military Region is the main force to advance into the Northeast, and Xiao Hua is the first to enter the Northeast
The leading cadres of the Shandong Military Region are well aware of their heavy responsibilities.
After receiving the order in September 1945, Xiao Hua immediately led the personnel of the Shandong Military Region and his subordinates, a total of 1,000 people, to cross the sea by boat from Penglai and land in Dalian.
After Xiao Hua arrived in the Liaodong area, after a short rest, he hurried to the Northeast Bureau to report that according to the instructions of the Northeast Bureau, the troops of the four divisions from the Shandong Military Region were all stationed in the Andong area.
After the army stabilized, Xiao Hua led the first batch of personnel to form the East Manchurian Provisional Command, and he served as commander and political commissar.
Later, in order to better manage the area from Andong to Yingkou, the central government decided to establish a base area in Liaodong, and Xiao Hua, as a member of our army, naturally hoped to quickly carry forward our army in the local area. However, the construction of this land is completely new for them, which is destined to take a lot of time.
But did we have time at that time? Obviously, no, after the Japanese invaders left, what followed was a struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and as for the harmonious coexistence of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, many people were not optimistic about this, because everyone had experienced the revolutionary coup d'état and the encirclement and suppression launched by Chiang Kai-shek, and knew that Chiang Kai-shek was a small-minded man who attached great importance to power, and he was absolutely unwilling to share China's power with others.
When the Japanese first invaded China, the Nationalist army led by Chiang Kai-shek was clearly able to resist the Japanese invaders in the future, after all, the Japanese invaders did not send many troops at the beginning, but Chiang Kai-shek refused to send troops on the grounds that the Communist Party had not yet "cleaned up", and even brazenly said that "if the Communist Party is not eliminated, it will not resist Japan."
It can be seen from this that for Chiang Kai-shek, our party posed an even greater threat to him than the Japanese invaders, which is why after Japan's surrender, the leaders of our party were not optimistic about the coexistence of the two parties.
In fact, the leaders of our party had already predicted that after Japan's surrender, there would inevitably be a big war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so it was definitely a wise choice to occupy the northeast region in advance.
But the process of advancing into the Northeast could not be smooth sailing, and Xiao Hua encountered many problems at that time.
Something went wrong
After advancing to Dongbie, Xiao Hua faced a huge problem at that time, that is, the lack of weapons.
After his superiors made the decision to advance to the northeast, Xiao Hua set off with his troops. In order to occupy the advantage of the northeast as soon as possible, Xiao Hua's troops were lightly armed so that they could march quickly, so most of the weapons were left in the Shandong area, and only a small part of the weapons were carried into the northeast.
Moreover, Xiao Hua's task in the local area is to prevent the landing of the Kuomintang army, and at the same time to develop the strength of our party in the local area and stabilize the local law and order, so his forces will also be dispersed to the countryside and other areas.
Although the Japanese invaders left, it did not mean that it was stable, and they also left a bunch of "messes", for example, the Japanese army could return to Japan, but the puppet army could only stay here. The local puppet soldiers were basically arrested, but the little shrimp of the puppet army, worried that they would be punished after the Japanese army left, went into hiding.
But this group of people still has weapons in their hands, and many puppet soldiers have colluded with local bandits, which has a great impact on local security. Moreover, there have been bandits in these areas for a long time, and when the Japanese did not leave before, they would still worry about the Japanese guns, but now that the Japanese have left, they will be even more lawless.
In the face of such a terrible situation, if we want to stabilize the local situation as soon as possible, we can only continue to mobilize the masses and join forces with the masses to eliminate the remnants of the Japanese army and the puppet army in the local area, and to crack down on the bandits who have done all kinds of evil.
Fortunately, our party has always had the foundation for engaging in mass movements, and this is also a task that everyone carries out in peacetime; in the exchanges between our army and the masses, not only has the distance between us and the masses been narrowed, but our army has been recognized by the masses, so many people have voluntarily joined our army.
The joining of the masses is naturally a good thing, but there are not many weapons in the army, and a large number of people have joined the army in the future, which makes the weapons more tense, and the problem in front of Xiao Hua is imminent, he must find a large number of weapons as soon as possible, in order to successfully arm the team, so as to have the strength to deal with the enemy.
It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of weapons in the Northeast, because the Japanese have been in the Northeast for many years, and these invaders have established a large number of military factories and military warehouses in the Northeast, and even if they retreat and take away some of the weapons, they will not be able to take all the weapons in them.
As Japan has occupied Northeast China for so many years, they have also set up local arsenals and produced their own weapons, so the large number of weapons left behind are completely enough to arm our troops, why is our army still lacking weapons after entering Northeast China?
It is true that the Japanese left a large number of weapons, but those weapons did not belong to us, but to the Soviet army. The military warehouses left by the Japanese were all taken over by the Soviet army, and our party had no right to interfere at all.
After the surrender of Japan, the Soviet army sent troops into the northeast, and according to the agreement, the Japanese weapons warehouses were taken over by the Soviet army, and at that time, there were two countries in the world, the United States and Britain, trying to prevent our party from entering the northeast, in order to prevent the growth of our party's power and the loss of the advantage of the Kuomintang's rule in China.
In order to prevent the Soviet Union from supporting us completely, they signed the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" with the Soviet Union, which stipulated that the Soviet Union's aid to China would go to the Nationalist Government. Because of this, the Soviet Union was unable to provide assistance to our troops, especially in terms of our scarce weapons and equipment.
The Kuomintang ceded a lot of benefits to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union would also "respect and respect" the views of the Kuomintang. Zeng Kelin's troops, who were the first to enter the northeast region, had received the support of the Soviet army, and they found 100,000 rifles, as well as a large number of bombs and some large weapons in an arsenal in Sujiatun.
With this batch of weapons and equipment, Zeng Kelin's troops greatly increased their strength for a time, and they also attacked Shenyang and other big cities. Not only did Zeng Kelin's troops, who were the first to enter the northeast, benefit, but even the local anti-coalition forces also seized weapons depots in many places. For example, Zhou Baozhong's troops once found an arsenal of 50,000 rifles in Changchun.
Because there are too many weapons in these places, and our army's combat effectiveness is already strong, once it has the help of weapons, the national army will not be an opponent. The Kuomintang lodged a strong protest against the Soviet Union, because after all, the Soviet Union had gained benefits in the hands of the Kuomintang and could not directly reject them, so the Soviet Union had no choice but to ask the Kuomintang not to operate in the big cities in the northeast, and as for other towns and small cities, the Soviet Union did not care about them.
Under the circumstance of multiple restrictions, it is naturally not easy to find a large number of weapons, but Xiao Hua firmly believes that the method is thought of by people, and after his investigation and discovery, Xiao Hua did come up with two good ideas.
The first idea is to search the weapons warehouse of the Japanese puppet army, and the second idea is to find the Soviet army "party".
Xiao Hua's clever plan
After advancing to the northeast, he found that he didn't have a weapon, and Xiao Hua came up with a clever plan to solve it.
Since all the Japanese warehouses have been taken over by the Soviet army, and the Soviet Union cannot provide them with assistance according to the agreement, it is simply to find the arsenal of the Japanese puppet army.
Although the Japanese puppet army is a force of the Japanese army, they are all Chinese, and naturally they are not within the scope of the Soviet army's takeover. The Japanese puppet army was established by the Japanese army when it supported the puppet Manchukuo in the northeast, and since it was a force copied by the Japanese, the Japanese army would also provide them with weapons assistance.
It is said that the Japanese puppet army in the Northeast reached 170,000 people at its peak, and the weapons of this group of puppet troops were not bad, with a large number of weapons and equipment similar to those of the Japanese army. After the Japanese left, many Japanese puppet soldiers were worried about being implicated in their lives, so it can be said that they absconded overnight, at most they brought some guns and ammunition, and even many people did not take care of the arsenal, and there must have been a large number of arsenals of the Japanese puppet army left in the local area.
So Xiao Hua gave the troops an order to search the arsenal left by the Japanese puppet army nearby, especially the arsenal hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, the more secretive it is, the more likely it is that there are a large number of weapons inside.
With this method, Xiao Hua did find some weapons, and the combat effectiveness of the armed forces did grow, but this batch of weapons was still a little insufficient, and Xiao Hua's troops have been recruiting new recruits locally since they arrived in the northeast. This batch of weapons is enough to arm the veterans, but it is not enough for the new recruits, so he has to continue to find a way.
The surrounding boundaries have been touched by the soldiers once, and the Japanese puppet army has almost lost its arms, so Xiao Hua came up with another way, that is, to find the Soviet army for a "party".
Xiao Hua specially inquired that the Soviet army in Sinuiju controlled a large Japanese army arsenal, which contained two or three hundred thousand guns, not to mention other weapons.
The head of this arsenal, Ivanovich, had no other hobbies than drinking. Xiao Hua started from the point that he likes to drink, he ordered someone to buy roast chicken and roast meat, and bought the best wine in the Northeast, and filled a basket of wine and dishes with wine. After preparing these things, Xiao Hua selected the dozen or so people with the best amount of alcohol among the cadres of the army, and brought two companies of soldiers.
Xiao Hua was so confident in this trip that he even ordered someone to drive seven or eight trucks, waiting to bring back the weapons.
Ivanovich saw Xiao Hua coming over with good wine and meat, although he didn't understand their intentions, but wine and meat were his good friends, so he hurriedly invited people in to drink.
Ivanovich himself is an alcoholic, and he drinks it directly when he sees good wine, and he doesn't need to persuade him to drink at all, while Xiao Hua and the cadres are very restrained in drinking, because they still have a task to do.
Xiao Hua's trip was divided into two ways, one was that he took the cadres and the person in charge Ivanovich and the cadres of the Soviet army to drink, and the other team of men and horses were ordinary soldiers and the Soviet soldiers guarding the arsenal, and when the Soviet army was dazed, Xiao Hua left people on both sides and then accompanied the Soviet army to drink, and the other brigades came to the arsenal to quickly move the guns and ammunition in the warehouse to the truck.
After seven or eight trucks were filled, a little soldier gave Xiao Hua a signal, and Xiao Hua and the others immediately stood up to say goodbye to Ivanovic, and made an appointment to continue drinking next time. When Xiao Hua saw the truck full of weapons, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to drive the truck back, for fear that it would be discovered by the Soviet army.
Of course, it is impossible for the Soviet army not to notice that Xiao Hua took so many weapons from the warehouse, but because the Soviet Union has always had a good relationship with us, they also turned a blind eye to this matter. Xiao Hua even ordered people to have a good relationship with the Soviet army, and we not only brought weapons from the Soviet army, but also obtained a large amount of cotton clothes, medicines and other military supplies.
With these weapons, Xiao Hua and other troops stationed in the northeast quickly eliminated the local bandits and Japanese puppet forces, and made contributions to the smooth development of our party in the northeast.
