During the Red Army's Long March, the Kuomintang infiltrated our army deeply, almost everywhere, and in the early days of the Long March, because of a quarrel between Zuo Ye and the commissioner, I didn't expect things to take a 180-degree turn two years later, and Zuo Ye, who was originally punished, ushered in a turnaround.
Zuo Ye may feel very unfamiliar when he talks about this name, but his revolutionary career is very legendary, and the other protagonist of the story is named Liu Ruide, the two even pulled out guns and pointed at each other because of the fierce quarrel, and later Zuo Ye was tied up in Yan'an to listen to the fall, so what happened between the two? Why did the incident usher in a change later?
Leave with your own eyes
In 1934, when the Long March had just begun, Liu Ruide took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave the ranks of the Red Army, and the purpose of his move was actually to surrender to Chiang Kai-shek.
Zuo Ye couldn't make up his mind why Liu Ruide escaped at that time, and when he found Liu Ruide, he had already crossed the river, and there was only one figure left, so Zuo Ye gave up the possibility of catching up and finding out. It's just that no one could have imagined that the two would have a chance to meet again soon.
Quarrel violently, draw guns and face each other
After Liu Ruide surrendered to the Kuomintang, he was sent back by the Kuomintang to lurk in the Red Army to collect intelligence, he was arranged to serve in the artillery regiment, and soon he found out that the acting head of the artillery regiment was Zuo Ye, which was a coincidence, but both of them chose to remain silent, and no one said anything.
Zuo Ye takes good care of Liu Ruide at work, but it is limited to some unimportant work, and he chooses to keep it secret from Liu Ruide when he encounters confidential incidents, and soon the conflict between the two arises. At that time, Zuo Ye received an order from the Party Central Committee to drive the artillery regiment to the area of Taihang Mountain, this kind of confidential military order Zuo Ye did not dare to let Liu Ruide know, and left with his troops.
When Liu Ruide found out, he was very angry, so he immediately reported to the organization, accusing Zuo Ye of private military orders, Zuo Ye was not good at stubble, and he asked Liu Ruide why he fled the Red Army back then?
Liu Ruide couldn't say anything, only that he had already explained to the organization, and Zuo Ye had no right to question him.
This made Zuo Ye angry, and in a fit of anger, he pulled out his pistol and shot at Liu Ruide, but fortunately, the person next to him was quick to stop it in time, so it did not cause more serious consequences.
Committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and the truth was revealed
At that time, the troops did not understand the specific situation, but when Zuo Ye made a mistake, they tied it up and sent it to Yan'an for disposal, and after arriving in Yan'an, neither Liu Shaoqi nor Chairman Mao believed that Zuo Ye would do such an impulsive thing, and there must be a reason for this, so they chose to believe Zuo Ye, after all, they still have some understanding of Zuo Ye's straightforward character after many years of military career.
But Chairman Mao did not let him return to the army, but went to study in other places, Liu Ruide after learning about the disposal of Yan'an, his heart suddenly became afraid, he must have made the Party Central Committee suspicious, every day became uneasy, and later during the Yan'an Rectification Movement, he was worried that he would be exposed, and he really couldn't bear the pressure and chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.
Epilogue:
Before throwing himself into the river, Liu Ruide wrote a suicide note, in which he made it clear that he had actually left the Red Army to join the Kuomintang, and explained his contacts with the Kuomintang over the years.
Through this incident, it is not difficult for us to see that traitors often do not end well, and those who endanger the interests of the people and the country are worthy of being spurned.
