Founding Major General Liu Bingyan dictated 7: After Lu Zhengcao left, I became "Song Jiang" in Baiyangdian

Let's talk about 1940 today.

Fighting in 1940 was frequent. The enemy increased his troops in North China and brought them to the Pingjinbao Triangle, and also had a set of methods, and began a military "sweep". It's really a mountain rain that is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.

Japan's spy work is well-known all over the world, and a large number of spies have come to the base areas. First of all, the study of the base areas behind enemy lines is mainly aimed at the relationship between the local party and the masses, and the enemy has already made a special study of "On Protracted War," and this can be proved from a large number of materials, and it is necessary to separate the army, the party, and the masses. Repeatedly pulling the net with fish scales, combing the grate and pulling the net, like combing the hair, to deal with the Jizhong Military Region. After the main force is concentrated in one place, "iron wall" - find your main force to fight. The dotted line is built quickly and knows where your main force is. Within the army, in the puppet organization, in the puppet government, and in the Xinmin Association, there are basically people who do intelligence, and once they are discovered, they act quickly. Our hoeing policy must be adapted, and this should be taken seriously.

Militarily, we have not changed to adapt to this form of struggle, and we often let the enemy surround us.

We made a mistake.

At this time, I was transferred to study at Kang Da, which was the first half of 1940. Left the army for a period and returned in 1941. During the period of my absence, the troops were constantly marching and fighting, and there were heavy casualties. There are a series of "leftist" mistakes in the work of hoeing and rape and counter-espionage.

Militarily, the militia and district squads have been constantly escalated. If the county brigade has suffered heavy casualties, the district squad will make up for it, and if the district squad has suffered large casualties, the militia will make up for it; One team at a time to make up for it, and the county brigade to make up for the five columns. The two main forces raced, escalating gradually, without the cooperation of the guerrillas - in the case of Baxian - they were often surrounded by the enemy. There are the following battles:

The twenty-seventh regiment of the shrine battled, it was the spring of 1940. There are also memoirs written about this battle, which can be viewed. The top bull battle, one dozen is two days. The enemy strengthened the artillery, surrounded it and did not let it go, so he fought with us. Political Commissar Yang was wounded, his eyes were blinded, and we suffered more than 200 casualties.

The 32nd Regiment fought Tianzhuangzi and Hao Zhuangzi, and our 2nd Battalion suffered heavy losses. The top bull fight fought until dark, and you wanted to transfer, but the enemy wouldn't let you transfer. There was also an offensive in the village, he lit fires all around, he lit them with the straw of the common people, one layer of torches to two layers of torches, and it was difficult to break through at night, and one of my battalions was basically knocked out.

At this time, I was no longer in the regiment, which I heard later.

The battle of the 29th Regiment at Mazhuang. The enemy surrounded us under the stronghold and fought, and suffered a lot of losses; The Fifth Column also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Chenjialiu in Baxian County.

If the army suffers heavy casualties, it will be replenished. The fifth column can be supplemented below, and the main force relies on army expansion, and it has not been seriously summed up until now. Yan Lixuan's bearded man constantly replenished troops in the Wuqing area, and he was nicknamed the human trafficker. He brought it and incorporated it into the main force. There are old policemen, bastards, and green forests here, and if they don't do it, they run back, and they will be arrested, and they will be dealt with when they are caught, forcing them to become puppet soldiers. This is a mistake made by some of our cadres in terms of policy. Yongqing, Gu'an, Baxian, Anci, and Wuqing were the most powerful, with more than 15,000 puppet troops.

Let's talk about Sanlian County. There are bandits and lumpenproletarians in the jungle, and they just want the world to be in chaos, and when the cannons go off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, so that they can fish in the water. At this time, a number of black teams appeared that were free from the troops and did not accept the leadership of the division, and returned to their old business and made a living by kidnapping tickets. Some of the main forces were engaged in spy work for the enemy and could be hoeed, but the "suppression of rebellion" was expanded and many people were killed, and the company commanders felt that they were in danger.

Life at that time was quite difficult, and we were prescribed three coins of oil and three coins of salt. Our secretary also ate meat secretly and put it in his sleeve to eat. In this difficult environment, Zhu Zhankui began to waver. Looking at the marching procession, I couldn't see the edge at a glance in the past, but now I can see it. This obscures all policy problems.

In 1941, the enemy also began digging trenches. Dig from both sides of the railway, each ditch is two zhang seven, dig one zhang and five zhang deep, and some dig out the water. The enemy was to protect the railway, and there were also roller cars on the railway, which went back and forth, with machine guns, grenadiers. They dug from Beiping to Liangxiang and then to Tianjin. It's also going to be hard for us to break the road.

The road between Yanjing Road and Baoding Road was dug up, and when it was dug through, it was filled with water, using the water of the Daqing River. This is the base area of the Daqing River, and it was blocked by the blockade ditch.

The enemy also dug ditches at the county borders, and ditches were dug between each county.

Then it will be difficult for the troops to move, and the main forces will have to go. Sometimes I go to Baiyangdian, sometimes I go to Yixian, Laishui, Fangshan, Dingxing, and Xushui to rest for two days. Without the main force, the Guangxian Brigade would not be able to stop the enemy from digging a big ditch. It was the first half of 1941. After that, the enemy developed again: the establishment of a puppet regime, the appointment of puppet county magistrates and puppet township heads, and the destruction of the anti-Japanese county governments we built. The enemy came against a set of the Eighth Route Army, and carried out the Daxiang armor protection system and the company sitting system. If something goes wrong with the neighbors, the one insurance will be affected, and the one insurance will share the risk.

In the first half of 1941, the main forces rarely returned to the east of the Daqing River. Only a narrow one remained, and a regiment was entered, and the enemy said that it would be closed.

The 32nd regiment jumped over and lived in the backstage of Rongcheng County. This is where you come from. This battle was almost all reimbursed. Only six companies remained. The military district found out in time, corrected this mistake, and replenished the thirty-second regiment from the fifth column.

In 1941, the 27th Regiment became the guard regiment of the military region and left with Lu Zhengcao.

When the enemy saw that the main force was transferred out, he could not find the main force in the encirclement, so he "cut out and cleared up", divided it into small pieces, built a pseudo-armor protection system, and stationed there. After the ditch at the boundary of the village was dug, the enemy was stationed in the village, and they cut out and poached the members of the party branch in the village, so as to destroy our organization. These were brutal times.

From the second half of 1940 to 1941, the commissar was replaced by Shuai Rong. During this time, our main forces could not enter the central area. The Japanese army drove straight into the county brigade. They ran long distances, making it difficult for the county brigade to move. If there is no green yarn tent, we have no place to cover.

In the spring of 1941, Commander Lu Zhengcao rode a large ocean horse to Guolikou in Baiyangdian and prepared to go to the tenth district. Rongcheng, Dingxing, and Anxin, only the tenth-district remains. Later, Commander Lu Zhengcao was transferred to Shenwu Rao'an. Zhu Zhankui was captured by the Japanese army in Da Li Gezhuang (April 5, 1941) in Qingyuan County. The 27th Regiment followed the activities of the military district. Several regiments were active in Shunbaiyangdian in Anxin, Renqiu, and Wen'an counties.

In 1941, before the Qingsha tent was erected, the party, government, and military leading organs of the 10th district withdrew. There were many people who surrendered to the enemy, and many county magistrates were captured. The puppet army has more than 14,000 people, and we have not changed our policy or tactics. This is called the first deterioration of the tenth district, and the regime is not ours.

Here the enemy completes his domination of the "Greater East Asia New Order". Militarily, a puppet army has been built, and there are security teams in every county. On the left bank of the Daqing River, there is a watchtower for five kilometers. The defense of the three-three system. On the first day, the army led three puppet soldiers, and one puppet army led three people. Gongs and drums, torches everywhere, it is really difficult for eagles and harriers to fly, all the way to the triangle of Baoding, Tianjin, Beiping: Rongcheng, Xushui, Dingxingbian. There are also some county government and district teams in Anxin, which can go into the reed pond to carry out activities. If you are stuck in the village, you will not dare to move.

On both sides of the Yongding River, there was a company led by Li David and a company led by Wang Guangxia who were active among the bandits. Li Dawei was a native of Han Village, Yongqing County, and went behind enemy lines; Wang Guangxia was active at the junction of Baxian, Yongqing, and Wuqing, and he couldn't come back. At that time, the village had a village boundary ditch, the county had a county boundary ditch, and the Daqing River also became a blockade line.

Here, anti-Japanese family members have red lights in front of their doors and are under surveillance. Every village has an earthen enclosure, a moat enclosed around the village, and every night the gongs and drums are sounded, and it is impossible for you to go from one village to another. The enemy built isolated watchtowers, dug ditches outside, a drawbridge. One watchtower, one squad of the puppet army, and the Japanese concentrated on the big watchtower.

The enemy's economic policy is to use local materials and engage in cotton and corn hoarding, and there is a model hoard of wheat on the edge of Xiongxian Baxian County. In the year of the enemy's occupation, they collected a lot of grain, and they asked for autumn grain and autumn delivery, wheat grain and wheat delivery.

It has been more than a year since I came back from Kang Da and left Daqing River.

I first served as chief of staff in the 18th Regiment, the 33rd Regiment, and the 9th Division. I was staring at how Daqing Hebei changed. I have summarized the experience of this paragraph. We are close to Daqing Hebei activities. Zhou Biao asked me to go back to the 10th district. Zhu Zhankui was captured, and Shuai Rong came to the Ninth Division.

I was in the 9th Division, and when I heard that I was going to go back to the 10th Division, I did some research on deterioration. The scope of the nine subdivisions is mainly around Baiyangdian, Renqiu and Anxin belong to the nine subdivisions, and Gaoyang is also the ninth subdivision. The troops of the 10th Division were also forced to operate here, and I talked to them to summarize the deterioration situation, because the 9th Division was also facing such a situation.

It turned out that it was not expected that the Japanese army would carry out a devastating "sweep" of the plain.

Lu Zhengcao and Cheng Zihua of the Military Region insisted on guerrilla warfare on the plains. On this day, I went to talk to Shuai Rong, Zhou Biao, Xiao Xinhuai, and Ren Zhiyuan about the situation in the 10th district, because we were all active in that area.

The enemy had the "experience" of sweeping the Daqing River and began to make preparations for "sweeping" the 8th, 7th, 9th, and 6th divisions. Okamura Ningji wanted to have a "sweep" like the one in the Daqing Hebei River, and originally thought that they would solve it piece by piece, and use the combination of encroachment and whale swallowing to find our main force to fight. I didn't expect the "May Day Sweep" to come so quickly. I talked to the four of them, and I became very vigilant in the future. In the winter of 1941, I had a special talk with the leaders of the military region, Lu Zhengcao, Cheng Zihua, and Sha Ke.

At that time, Zhou Biao was going to be the commander and Shuai Rong was the political commissar, and there was news that I should be the chief of staff. At that time, the county guerrillas basically collapsed, and the 10 columns were organized into a sub-district teaching team. I summarize the lessons of the 10th District and put forward the following points:

I summarized four points at the time, and I wrote some points in my memoirs, and I still don't know them together. First, I pointed out that there are many "leftist" policies in the basic policy of the united front, including the dismissal of people; hoeing policy; There are many family members of the puppet soldiers; The three main forces of the armed forces were engaged in a race, and the three main regiments were not replenished in a timely manner. Zhou Biao is a representative of the "leftist" policy; He was a political commissar at the time, and when Shuai Rong took over his post, he took a break. In this regard, Cheng Zihua talked to me. When the tenth-district was opened, we were together and got along better, he was an old Red Army, and this was a process of learning from the old Red Army. The first time he talked to me, in order to win Zhu Zhankui, Zhou Biao wanted to marry Zhu Zhankui's sister. I didn't say before I left, I persuaded him not to marry Zhu Zhankui's sister, I said not to do this, the main thing is to educate Zhu Zhankui ideologically. He said that the head of the military region had talked with him, and he said that if Zhu Zhankui had such intentions, he should not refuse. In the second half of 1939, he was officially married. After getting married, Zhu Zhankui approached Zhou Biao, and Zhou Biao used this to control Zhu Zhankui. It was combined into the Zhu Zhou core within the military division. Yang Yumin, Wang Yiqun, and other three directors of the Political Department all have views on this, and most of them support me. It was when he got married that the Four Brigades mutinied. Four brigades were organized into three regiments. Wang Luxiang, the captain of the fourth brigade, surrendered to the enemy, leaving behind a battalion, he took two battalions (the first and second battalions), and he took them to Gu'an County, where he arrested the company instructors and battalion instructors and sent them to Yongqing County. Wang Luxiang's defection was the result of a "leftist" policy. I talked to Zhou Biao about this, and there was an argument. In summing up the consequences of "leftism", I said this, but Zhou Biao did not admit it. Later, Zhu Zhankui was captured, and it was not easy to fight. Shuai Rong agrees with me. Usually, we learned dialectics and knew that the changes in affairs were mainly internal causes, and we mainly looked for subjective causes. But many things are justified by external causes. This internal issue, which I raise at this time, is a policy issue that I must raise in the tenth district.

The second point is that I proposed to withdraw from the tenths and have not changed the tactics of the army's activities, which is also our own reason. This is mainly an argument with Xiao Xinhuai: the main force fights hard against the bull, and it completely relies on blood, which is not good. On this point, Xiao Xinhuai and I argued the most, until I became the chief of staff and sent Xiao Xinhuai away. On the day he left, we had an argument for two hours. On the issue of tactical rigidity, I also don't have enough reason to convince him. I advocate the activity of the company as a unit (in fact, the company is not good, I will talk about it later). We recalled and summed up the battles one by one. He said: The Battle of Shentang, the Battle of Huluji, and the Battle of Tangerli, these battles later proved to be fought. I cited four regiments in the second half of 1940 to fight together, but it didn't work. I wanted to convince him with this example. He's leaving, and although we have an argument, I still think of him as a teacher, and we're still in love. I sent him with a platoon.

"I want you to prove you right with a few examples." These were my last words of farewell to him.

The third point is the argument between me and Ma Zai, Yang Ying, and Zhao Yumin. Ma is the secretary of the prefectural party committee, Yang is the propaganda director of the prefectural party committee, and Zhao is the director of the organization department of the prefectural party committee. Before I took office, I went to the prefectural committee, and they thought that retreating to the Daqing River was right. I talked to them at Dizhuang in Baiyangdian about the 10th district, and their conclusion was that they were right, they were afraid and did not dare to go back, and the army did not dare to go back, thinking that it was the result of leaning to the right. They don't work with the army anymore. Zhou Biao and Shuai Rong are also members of the prefectural committee. Nor were the localities and the military as closely related as later to unitation. The local government complained that the army did not fight well.

I believe that there is a right sentiment because of the consequences of the "left" policy. The military region knew about the previous controversy in Daqing Hebei and let the district party committee resolve it. At this point, it became clear that I was going back.

In December 1941, in Fenghuangpu, Anping, the military region convened the party, government, and military leaders of the 10th District to discuss the issue of deterioration in the 10th District, and asked me to participate and go back to take over Xiao Xinhuai's post. It was opened for seven days. It is no problem to hold a seven-day meeting in the Ninth Division, and the military region is in Zhuanggaotou. There was two days of debate. I had contact with the leaders of the 29th Regiment in advance, and they also supported my opinion. After two days of arguments, the district party committee came to a conclusion. Luo Yuchuan, Jin Cheng, Huang Jing, Zhou Xiaozhou, Lu Zhengcao, Cheng Zihua, and others from the military region attended the meeting.

The conclusion is that the key to the deterioration of the 10th zone is caused by the "leftist" policy. It is necessary to correct the "leftist" policy: First, the army will fight a tough battle, and the inferior Eighth Route Army will not work against the superior Japanese army. 2. The character of the lumpenproletarian without research is capriciousness. Huang Jing said: Wandering between the enemy and us, because you are "left", he will run to the enemy, so there are more than 12,000 puppet troops. 3. It would be harmful if the tenth-district did not change the policy of burdening the masses and continued to implement the policy of civil war, so as to overburden the landlords and rich peasants. As far as the base areas are concerned, we must implement the united front policy of the central authorities, otherwise even some enlightened gentry will leave us. Fourth, underestimating the enemy. The enemy repeatedly pulled the net with fish scales, and the iron wall was closed, thinking that there was still time to rest, but in fact it did not stop.

After two days of discussion, I rested in Baiyangdian.

In January 1942, I arrived at the 10th district. The commander is Zhou Biao, Shuai Rong is the political commissar, and I am the chief of staff. We seem to be unified in understanding, but we are not really unified in understanding when we attend the meeting. In February and March, both the military and the localities studied the document in order to unify their thinking and understanding. This was the first controversy between the 10 prefectural committees.

The "May Day Sweep" is coming.

In May 1942, the army and the local government rested. It was not like the rectification of the wind, and before we had time to clarify a number of historical issues, the "sweep" came, and there was no ideological preparation for the various sub-districts. This is a repetition of the 1941 "sweep", and the Japanese army's approach has developed on its basis of its 1941 year. The 41st, 110th, and 27th Divisions, together with a total of more than 50,000 people, carried out a "sweep" under the command of Okamura Ninji. The Japanese army increased its strength in North China in 1938, and in the People's War, they had admitted that they had been caught in a protracted war - they had not wiped out the Eighth Route Army. The offensive it took north of the Cangshi Road had several characteristics:

The first to come in were the spies. From the second half of 1941, the enemy made preparations, trained the spies, sent them to the base area, and brought in small transmitters. Militarily, the "bull knife tactic" was adopted. The enemy knows which division you are in which place, and we still operate in regiments, unlike Luxi. From Beiping to Baoding, the heavy army group was in the northern county, and there were Japanese troops above the brigade level. Cangshi Road is the 27th Division, mainly in Tianjin, Jinghai, and Cangzhou.

The tactics of the ox knife are: fifty or sixty miles of road, the enemy knows exactly which regiment you are in and where. The enemy set out in the afternoon of the first day, walked half a day and a night, surrounded the regiment at dawn, and let the small troops come into contact with you first. Flare guns were fired in all directions, and the troops, thinking that the enemy was numerous, immediately gathered and left (the military region was against fighting the bull battle). As soon as we left, we broke away from the village, and the enemy took a roundabout encirclement, so that we would suffer heavy casualties. The difference between the "sweep" and the "sweep" was that the enemy attacked separately and in a combined attack, and the enemy penetrated in 180 miles.

The enemy came in from the outside and combined the tactics of the cattle knife to attack in a combined manner, and according to twenty or thirty villages. The enemy came in from the outside, and the circumference was a radius of more than ten kilometers. This is very different from the one that pulled the net from the beginning. The combined attack of twenty or thirty villages was very large, and the people were more than tens of thousands of people attacking in a long distance. Divide into joint attacks, add iron walls to close the fence, and then pull the net. Not a single regiment was not caught by the enemy's dragnet.

The two regiments of the 9th Division, the 33rd Regiment, were crushed, and the 24th Regiment was transferred out.

Chang Deshan, commander of the Eighth Division, and Wang Yuanyin, political commissar, died.

The 17th Regiment of the 7th Division was also pulled up by the enemy's big net.

Of the three regiments of the garrison brigade of the 6th Division, two regiments were almost defeated, and he was pulled to Luxi early.

The Japanese changed their tactics. The purpose of garrisoning and clearing is to destroy the foundation. Now it's mainly doing it militarily, that is, looking for your main force to fight.

In July, Cheng Zihua went to the Grand Military Region, and Mr. Nie went to Yan'an. At that time, it was determined that the main force would be transferred outward.

The district party committee acted with Lu Zhengcao and Zhou Xiaozhou. Lu Zhengcao rode a large ocean horse to Liuzhuang. I am in the area of Zaolinzhuang and Xidawu in the west of Renqiu Yinzhou. Lu Zhengcao sent someone to deliver a letter, just a few words: "Comrade Liu Bingyan: I'll come and you go." "At that time, Zhou Biao was sick and went to the reed pond to cover for treatment; Shuai Rong went to Wen'anwa. It is divided into eight districts. I took the 37th and 29th regiments of the division to the edge of Baiyangdian Lake, and I did not dare to go to the hinterland.

The troops of the 10th District did not suffer losses in the May 1 "sweep" and said that they would not go to the hinterland, and I had experience. At this time, we have not dispersed yet, and I still have two regiments with me. The 27th Regiment had a large goal, did not operate alone, and withstood the "May 1 Sweep". The enemy dug a ditch, and Lu Zheng them and couldn't get out, so it was not easy to move. I'm going to see Lu Zhengcao. Lu asked, "Why are you here?" "

Me: "You're here, what can I do if I don't meet?" See what tasks you have? "

Lu: "You leave me a battalion." "

At that time, the Japanese army repeatedly pulled the net. It is called fish scales to pull the net, comb the grate to pull the net, and repeat it.

I said, "If a group sends you, you will have to fight for two days before you can go out." Our regiment was scattered in 42 villages in Baiyangdian. You're riding a big ocean horse, and you can't get by.

When Lu Zhengcao heard this, he was anxious and said: Don't send me, I'll go by myself!

I said the tenths of the situation to prove my words. I said, I'll give you the 27th Regiment, you go east, to Jinpu Road, to the Bohai Naval Region...... Then go to Jinan, go west, Ben Taihang, so easy to go, the 27th regiment will follow you.

Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't agree more. After thinking about it, Lu said: Let's just go.

He went from Benwen'anwa north of Renqiu, to the south of Shunjinpu Road, until he reached the south of Cangzhou, to Zhangshi (in Yuanshi County), fought for two days and two nights, and went to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shexian County.

After Lu Zhengcao left, I became "Song Jiang" in Baiyangdian.
