Tianxue Miscellaneous Talk was founded by the former university faculty member Tianxuan, welcome to pay attention.
At the beginning of 1940, the situation was very unoptimistic for the New Fourth Army, which had already crossed the river to the north, because the New Fourth Army in northern Jiangsu was surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, and the enemy's strength far exceeded that of the New Fourth Army.

At that time, the Guan Wenwei troops of the New Fourth Army had only crossed the river, but there were more than 700 people, and later Tao Yong took the second battalion of the old fourth regiment and Ye Fei to the old sixth regiment to northern Jiangsu, and merged with the guan department into the Suwan detachment and the new fourth army advancing column, with a total of no more than 4,000 people.
The reactionary forces in northern Jiangsu were quite strong, and the strongest force in northern Jiangsu was the Japanese army, and the Japanese occupied major towns and major transportation routes. The Japanese were not only well equipped, but also supported by air power.
The second largest force in northern Jiangsu is Han Deloitte, and Han Deloitte is the party, government and army in northern Jiangsu. Han Deqin was one of the representatives of the Kuomintang military dictatorship, and his main forces were 1 army, 1 independent brigade and 10 security brigades, namely:
Lieutenant General Li Shouwei was the commander of the 89th Army, and there was also a well-equipped independent 6th Brigade with Lieutenant General Onda as the brigade commander. In addition, there are 10 security brigades.
Han Deloitte's total strength is more than 50,000 people, and it is said that there are more than 70,000 people, of which the 89th Army and the independent 6th Brigade, which are more than 20,000 people, which are more than 20,000 people.
Because Han Deloitte is the chairman of the Kuomintang Jiangsu Provincial Government, he can be called the second oldest regardless of his name and strength. It was he who, on behalf of the Kuomintang diehards, manipulated the leadership of the "anti-Japanese" in northern Jiangsu.
The third is the "two Li", that is, Li Mingyang, the commander-in-chief of the Sulu-Anhui guerrilla, and Li Changjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief, whose general headquarters is located in Taizhou, and the "Two Lis" have nine columns of troops. The total strength of the army is said to be 30,000, but in fact there are more than 20,000 people.
There was also a force, namely the Kuomintang Jiangsu Provincial Tax Police Corps, headed by Lieutenant General Chen Taiyun. He had a total of four regiments of tax police, two of which were stationed in the Jiang Wei area.
Although they were called tax policemen, they were heavily armed infantrymen, many carrying machine guns, and even a few heavy machine guns, with a total of about 4,000 people.
This unit is a unit directly under the Ministry of Finance of the Kuomintang central government, a member of the Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi systems, and its military salaries have always been sufficient; even officers at or above the level are military cadets, there are many veterans, and the chief and deputy squad leaders can bring their families with them in the unit; its legal task is to arrest smuggling, but its military strength is often stronger than the regular army of the Kuomintang.
Once these forces unite to deal with the New Fourth Army, the New Fourth Army will be in danger of not being able to stand on its own feet and return to Jiangnan, and once the New Fourth Army cannot open the situation in northern Jiangsu, it will affect the military strategy of the CPC Central Committee in running northern Jiangsu.
Chen Yi, as the commander-in-chief of the New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu Command, knew very well that if these forces could not be effectively divided and disintegrated, once the enemy forces were united, the New Fourth Army would fall into a desperate situation.
To this end, Chen Yi put forward a strategy, that is, to win over the Kuomintang centrists and crack down on the diehards, and the strength of the centrists mainly refers to the "two Li" and Chen Taiyun's tax police force.
Chiang Kai-shek was well aware of Chen Yi's tactics; Chiang Kai-shek knew that there were many contradictions within the Kuomintang, and he knew that if he wanted to deal with the New Fourth Army, he would have to integrate the reactionary forces of northern Jiangsu, so he sent a nationalist soldier to accomplish this task in the future.
Chen Yi
At the end of 1939, he appointed Lieutenant General Huang Yifeng of the Nationalist Army as a supervisor, and Huang Yifeng openly served as a lieutenant general design member of the field party and government committee, and the task was to go to Jiangsu to form the Lusu branch of the party and government committee.
The duty of this field party and government committee is to liaise and coordinate the organizations of all factions within the Party and all walks of life outside the Party. To put it simply, it is to integrate the forces of all aspects to deal with the New Fourth Army, eliminate the New Fourth Army on the spot, and even if it cannot be eliminated, it is necessary to drive the New Fourth Army out of northern Jiangsu. Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to the field party and government committees, and he served as the director of the field party and government committees, and the deputy director was Li Jichen.
Huang Yifeng was a lieutenant general in the Kuomintang army, and chiang kai-shek was assigned to go to northern Jiangsu to supervise the war, but these were all superficial phenomena, and if Chiang Kai-shek knew Huang Yifeng's true identity, it is estimated that he would be angry and vomit blood, because Huang Yifeng had already worked for the CCP and was directly under the leadership of Zhou Enlai.
So who is Huang Yifeng, a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang?
Huang Yifeng, whose original name was Huang Chengjing, was born on July 22, 1906 in a merchant family in Dongtai City, his father Huang Yangtang was a timber merchant, and his mother Huang Xushi was the sister of Xu Shiqing, a famous doctor in Dongtai City.
The Huang family is very wealthy, Huang Yifeng sister and brother have a total of 7 people, he ranks third, as the eldest son of the family, his father has high hopes, Huang Yifeng was sent to private school by his father when he was 5 years old, and Huang Yifeng is smart and studious, his grades are very good, and he is deeply pleased by Mr. Private School.
At that time, new-style education had emerged, and Huang Yifeng had a cousin who taught at Nantong Normal College, and this cousin persuaded Huang Yangtang to let Huang Yifeng receive a new-style education.
Although Huang Yangtang received an old-style education, he was open-minded, and under the persuasion of his cousin, he personally sent Huang Yifeng to the primary school attached to Nantong Normal University until graduation.
In the second half of 1922, Huang Yifeng was admitted to the junior high school class of Nanjing Southeast University, and in the junior high school class of the master, his grades were still among the best, and the next year he jumped into the high school class, in the high school class, he was still a bully-like figure.
Nanjing was the political center of the time, and various ideas were intertwined, and Huang Yifeng came into contact with many new ideas here, and his thoughts began to shift to the left.
In August 1924, Huang Yifeng was admitted to the Department of China Public University in Shanghai, and in the spring of 1925, he was admitted to the Business School of Fudan University in Shanghai, and often went to Shanghai University founded by the Left to listen to lectures.
In the spring of 1927, it was extremely unusual for the people of Shanghai, and the three armed uprisings of Shanghai workers, the revolutionary struggle was like a melting pot, tempering Huang Yifeng. Huang Yifeng, who had just stepped out of the school and entered the society, withstood the severe test of blood and fire and accepted the baptism of battle in the revolutionary storm.
After the victory of the third armed uprising, Huang Yifeng was elected chairman of the Shanghai Zhabei District Citizens' Representative Conference. On the day of the coup d'état, Huang Yifeng rescued Zhou Enlai, who had been detained by Chiang Kai-shek's secret order, and won the praise of the Party Central Committee.
By the summer of 1927, Huang Yifeng was suspected by the Kuomintang reactionaries, and the 21-year-old Huang Yifeng, alias Huang Guocai, was appointed by the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China as the secretary of the Nanjing Prefectural Committee, and within a month of his term of office, he was arrested and imprisoned for betrayal by traitors.
Two months later, Huang Yifeng was rescued from prison by the organization, and Nanjing could not stay any longer, so the organization asked him to return to his hometown of Dongtai to create the Dongtai County Committee of the Communist Party of China and open up the party's underground work. After Huang Yifeng returned to his hometown, he soon established the Dongtai County Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Huang Yifeng
In late March 1928, Huang Yifeng was unfortunately arrested for organizing a peasant riot, and although he was released from prison, he lost organizational relations, it was the low tide of the revolution, the party organization was seriously damaged, he could not find the party organization, he had to leave his hometown for Nanyang, and then returned to China, after several twists and turns, finally became a professor of accounting at Guangxi University in the winter of 1937.
In the summer of 1938, Huang Yifeng took advantage of the summer vacation of Guangxi University to go to Wuhan to look for party organizations, and he found the eighth route army office in Wuhan and connected with comrades Zhou Enlai, Dong Biwu, Ye Jianying and other comrades working in Hankou.
Organizationally, Huang Yifeng was deemed difficult to play a role in Guangxi, so he managed to return to his hometown of Jiangsu to engage in anti-Japanese work. Huang Yifeng returned to Guangxi University after receiving the mission, and he carefully wrote a plan to carry out guerrilla operations behind enemy lines.
Huang Yifeng had a close friend named Mei Gongbin, a progressive democrat who was very supportive of Huang Yifeng's ideas and introduced him to Li Jichen, then deputy director of the Kuomintang's field party and government committee.
After li jichen saw Huang Yifeng's plan, he admired it very much, he thought that Huang Yifeng was a talent, plus he was also a Jiangsu native, Li Jichen immediately decided that Huang Yifeng, as a professor at Guangxi University, was entrusted with a major general design committee, and was sent to the enemy behind the enemy line on standby.
In the summer of 1939, the Kuomintang Field Military and Political Committee decided to set up local branches, Li Jichen recommended Huang Yifeng to Chiang Kai-shek, Huang Yifeng went to Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek saw that Huang Yifeng was a talent, in order to win Huang Yifeng over, he promoted Huang Yifeng to a lieutenant general of the Kuomintang Lusu Theater Party and Government Branch, and ordered him to return to northern Jiangsu to form the Lusu Theater Party and Government Branch of the Lusu Theater, coordinate the forces of all aspects to deal with the New Fourth Army, and prepare to set off an anti-communist upsurge.
Huang Yifeng immediately reported to Zhou Enlai after receiving the appointment, and Zhou Enlai was very happy when he found out, and asked him to find Chen Yi as soon as possible after he arrived in northern Jiangsu to report to Chen Yi, and accept Chen Yi's leadership to help the New Fourth Army open up the situation.
At the end of 1939, Huang Yifeng came to northern Jiangsu, when the situation in northern Jiangsu was very tense, and the enemy was preparing to launch a siege on the New Fourth Army, and the situation of the New Fourth Army was very dangerous.
Huang Yifeng secretly met with Chen Yi, and Chen Yi had already received information from the military department that he had transferred to Chongqing, and knowing that this Kuomintang lieutenant general who had come to supervise the war was his own person, Huang Yifeng said directly to Chen Yi: I am my own person, Chiang Kai-shek ordered me to supervise the battle, you are in danger, what do you need me to do?
Chen Yi was very happy about Huang Yifeng's arrival, because Huang Yifeng's identity was not ordinary, he could access the core secrets of the Kuomintang, and he could contact the forces of all sides in northern Jiangsu to facilitate the struggle against the enemy.
Chen Yi expounded to Huang Yifeng the strategy of "winning over the Kuomintang centrists and cracking down on diehards," and Huang Yifeng deeply agreed because he deeply understood this, and he also believed that Han Deloitte was a diehard, and that the "two Li" and Chen Taiyun could be won.
The Lusu Branch was headed by Yu Xuezhong, commander-in-chief of the Lusu Theater, Han Deloitte, deputy commander-in-chief, and Huang Yifeng, a full-time committee member, who directly accepted the leadership of Chongqing.
When Huang Yifeng passed through the Shangrao Three War Zone, he found his fellow villager in Dongtai County, Gu Zhutong's office director Zhu Shiqiu. Zhu Shiqiu specially sent a telegram for him to introduce Han Deqin, a classmate of the third phase of Zhu's Baoding Military Academy, and Li Mingyang, a classmate of the Baoding Army School.
Huang Yifeng's status as a Kuomintang lieutenant general, coupled with Zhu Shiqiu's telegram, so when Huang Yifeng first arrived, Han Deqin was treated with great courtesy. Han deloitte wants to expand his power through the platform of the chapter.
Han Deloitte in film and television dramas
However, Han Deloitte soon learned from the backstage boss Gu Zhutong that this party and government committee is very complicated, because the Gui clan wants to manipulate this committee, Huang Yifeng has a close relationship with the Gui clan, and Li Mingyang is the gui clan Baoju and became the commander-in-chief of the Luwan guerrillas.
Huang Yifeng decided to first enlist Lieutenant General Chen Taiyun, head of the Kuomintang Jiangsu Provincial Taxation Police Corps.
Huang Yifeng and Chen Taiyun are both in Xinghua, and although Xinghua City is not large, its geographical location is very important, and it has been a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.
Soon after the start of the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937, Xinghua City became the seat of the wartime provincial government of Jiangsu Province and the home of Han Deloitte, chairman of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, which made the small Xinghua City suddenly lively. At that time, the economy was not developed, and the most profitable was the Qinglou, bathroom and other entertainment venues, and the highest bathroom in Xinghua at that time was called Rixinchi.
In the winter of 1939, in the small guest room specially reserved for the use of the rich merchants of Nisshinike, there were two people lying on wicker chairs, except for a few occasional conversations, they were closing their eyes and recuperating, they looked idle, their movements were lazy, and they were completely like the idle Yugong and the squire of Nafu. No one knew that they were all in important positions, and they were all lieutenant generals of the Kuomintang.
One of them, with a short body and dark skin and about 40 years old, was one of the main research subjects of Chen Yi and Su Yu, Lieutenant General Chen Taiyun, the head of the Jiangsu Provincial Tax Police Corps.
The statutory task of the Jiangsu Provincial Taxation Police Corps is to arrest smuggling, especially smuggling salt traders. The sale of smuggled salt was an important means for the Kuomintang troops to seek profits, and Han Deloitte's troops, Erli's troops, and so on all sold smuggled salt, so the relationship between the Taxation Police Corps and these troops was very bad.
It should be said that this Chen Taiyun, whose seniority is relatively old, he himself graduated from the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he is also a member of the "Revival Society", the core organization of the military command, but he is not strong in the Kuomintang army, compared with Hu Zongnan, Yu Jishi, Gui Yongqing and others, his development is very slow. Therefore, there have always been complaints, but they do not dare to cry out in front of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chen Taiyun knew that Han Deloitte always wanted to annex his own troops, so he always guarded against Han Deloitte, but his strength was not as good as Han Deloitte' and he could only swallow his anger.
Chen Taiyun and Huang Yifeng were both snubbed by Han Deloitte, and the two were naturally close, and they often took a bath together, played mahjong together, and drank tea together.
Our army is fighting
After a lot of contacts, Chen Taiyun bluntly told him that although he was born in the first term of Huangpu, his official fortunes were not prosperous. He was a member of the Miao ethnic group and a native of Guizhou, and he was recommended by relying on He Yingqin's fellow villagers, and he became the head of the tax police chief after the enemy.
As for the appointment of the "Revival Society," he said that it was only a pseudonym, and Han Deqin, seeing that his troops were well paid and bent on annexing, went so far as to send him to Xinghua and put him under house arrest in the name of holding a meeting, while on the one hand sending people to Jiang Wei to bribe and divide his subordinates.
So Huang Yifeng analyzed the situation at that time, saying that preserving strength is the last word, there is no need to help Han Deloitte deal with the New Fourth Army, as long as the New Fourth Army is there, he has the use value, once the New Fourth Army is gone, then Han Deloitte will go all out to deal with him, and his life will be even more difficult.
Chen Taiyun's tax police force had fought with the New Fourth Army and was defeated by the New Fourth Army, Chen Taiyun knew the combat strength of the New Fourth Army, and under the dual pressure of military and political, Chen Taiyun chose neutrality, which provided conditions for the New Fourth Army to deal with Han Deloitte.
At the same time, Huang Yifeng and Li Mingyang were both from the Gui clan, and the two were naturally close, and Huang Yifeng knocked on Li Mingyang's side, laying the foundation for Chen Yi to strive for "two Li".
The New Fourth Army gained a foothold and grew in northern Jiangsu through the Battle of Guocun and the Decisive Battle of Huangqiao, and Huang Yifeng played an important role in it.
In March 1941, after chen yi and other introductions, Huang Yifeng was approved to rejoin the party, and was ordered to establish the "joint resistance" unit of the New Fourth Army, serving as commander and political commissar.
At the beginning of 1946, Huang Yifeng was appointed as the chief of the Transportation Department of the CPC Delegation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China in the Beiping Military Mobilization Department, and was one of the first generals in the history of our party to be awarded a military rank.
As the chief representative of the Chinese communist side of the special enforcement group, in handling the "Anping Incident," he used a large number of facts to expose the truth that the US military first unreasonably provoked our side.

In 1947, in view of the fact that Huang Yifeng was one of the few talents in the party who was familiar with the railway business, he was transferred to the Northeast Railway Department as the commander of the Railway Column of the Northeast People's Liberation Army, and made special contributions to repairing the Northeast Railway and cooperating with the Liaoshen Campaign.
After the liberation of Shanghai, he was responsible for taking over the Shanghai Railway, serving as the first director of the Shanghai Railway Bureau, and later transferred to the Ministry of Transportation and Secretary of the Party Group of the East China Military and Political Committee, and also served as the principal of the subordinate East China Transportation College.
In November 1978, entrusted by Comrade Hu Qiaomu, Huang Yifeng shouldered the heavy task of restoring and rebuilding the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences at the age of 73, and in just three years, he quickly laid the scientific research foundation of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and achieved remarkable achievements.
During this period, he immersed himself in the study of the Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs movement, which was unique and rich in writing, and his monographs such as "The National Bourgeoisie of Old China" enriched the study of China's modern economic history, and the publication of "Monographs on Modern Chinese Economic History" had a great impact on the whole country.
In the research post of economic history, Huang Yifeng was refreshed, regardless of his old age and infirmity, working day and night, until September 26, 1980, when he was lecturing at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, he suddenly suffered a stroke and fainted on the podium.
On November 27, 1988, Huang Yifeng passed away, and many leaders and more than 500 people in Shanghai attended the farewell ceremony of Huang Yifeng's body. Zhu Yulin, Huang Yifeng's old comrade-in-arms in "joint resistance", summed up Huang Yifeng's life achievements and wrote a poem:
Knowing each other in the sixties of autumn, SuZhong's wind and rain reminisced about the same boat.
On the merits of the anti-Japanese resistance and the united, the field army spread the word of fortune.
The implementation of the new system of outposts, railway traffic exhibition.
The "three antis" floating clouds and snowy days, a compilation of bedridden heads.
Delve into economic interference and explore Shenjiang alone.
The bad news came that the intestines were broken, and the mourning public was not rewarded.

Finally, I would like to say that in the course of China's revolutionary struggle, the work of the hidden front is particularly important, and it is precisely they who have provided our army with one piece of intelligence after another and laid a solid foundation for the victory of the military struggle.
