In February 1943, Tang Jingyan A special guest came to the regiment headquarters. As soon as the regiment leader Tang Jingyan saw the person, he immediately arranged for his men to hold a feast, saying that he would make up with the good brothers and not return until they were drunk.
After three drinks, the guest made his intention to come:
"Brother, what future do you have if you follow that New Fourth Army? Why don't you follow us and be popular and drink spicy food?"
Tang Jingyan smiled slightly and said nothing.
The guest said anxiously: "What? Brother, can I still lie to you? As long as you follow us, you will be promoted and rich, and your glory and wealth will definitely be yours."
After hearing what the guest said, Tang Jingyan showed a very moved expression on his face, but he still pondered for a while, and then said haha: "Let me and my brothers discuss this matter, come, come, drink, drink."
Then he took a sip of wine and said: "Hey, Lao Lu, no matter what the outcome, we are still brothers."
The guest named Lao Lu felt secretly happy. Did he agree to surrender?
This man's surname was Lu. He and Tang Jingyan had worked together in the Kuomintang army before. They were good brothers. When Tang Jingyan was found, he was already an agent of the Japanese and puppet Nantong Secret Service Bureau.
Why did the Japanese puppet organization instigate Tang Jingyan to rebel? What position did he hold in the New Fourth Army? And did he finally agree to surrender to the Japanese and puppets?
In the spring of 1943, the Wang Puppet regime organized more than 15,000 troops and planned to launch a large-scale "rural clearing movement" in the five counties of Rugao, Nantong, Haimen, Qidong and Chongming in central Jiangsu, collectively known as the Tonghai Five Counties.
The "Qingxiang Movement" was to deal with the New Fourth Army troops stationed in that place. This move can be said to be very cruel.
Because the five counties of Tonghai are the choke points that connect the north and south of the Yangtze River , the military supplies of the New Fourth Army's southern Jiangsu base area must pass through here. Once this area falls into the hands of the Japanese and puppets, the southern Jiangsu base area will be in danger.
At that time, our army was stationed in the five counties of Tonghai, and it was the self-defense group led by Tang Jingyan!
Tang Jingyan joined the Kuomintang in 1921 and served as the battalion commander of a machine gun battalion in the Kuomintang's Shandong-Suzhou-Anhui border area since 1939.
In 1941, his immediate boss Li Changjiang could not resist the temptation and defected to Wang Puppet regime.
Tang Jingyan turned to the New Fourth Army and formed the Tonghai People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Corps, with Tang Jingyan as its leader.
Before the "Qingxiang Movement", the spy chief of the Japanese puppet regime Li Shiqun had focused on Tang Jingyan and sent people to investigate him. This investigation gave him a big surprise.
Because Tang Jingyan usually plays mahjong or smokes cigarettes, he also runs a restaurant all over the world, eats, drinks, has fun, and spends a lot of time. In a word, he does everything that people who are not doing their jobs like to do. How can
behave like a New Fourth Army cadre?
Not only is he like this, but the officers under him are also the same type of people as him, they are all the same.
Li Shiqun was overjoyed with the results of this investigation. He thought that Tang Jingyan and he were from the same group! The reason why
joined the New Fourth Army was just a temporary measure. As long as he used heavy money and power to lure him, there was no reason not to take the bait.
After realizing this, he immediately went to Tang Jingyan's "good brother" to take action.
So there was the scene of persuading surrender at the beginning.
Is Tang Jingyan really moved?
As soon as the guest named Lu left, Tang Jingyan immediately made a truthful report to the Suzhong District Committee and the Division Headquarters!
What kind of character is Tang Jingyan who behaves like this? Are they traitors who surrendered to the enemy or the innocent New Fourth Army?
As early as February 1942, with the approval of the leaders of Suzhou District, Tang Jingyan had become a secret special member of our party, and the self-defense group he led had been transformed into an out-and-out new army of our party. The reason why
wanted to show corruption was to confuse the Japanese and puppet troops.
Because at that time, the relationship between the various forces of the Japanese and puppet enemies was very complicated, and they all had various infiltrations into our side. In order to protect himself and confuse the enemy, Tang Jingyan did this under the instruction of the leader Su Yu.
The leader Tang Jingyan reported to Suzhong District was Su Yu. After listening to Tang Jingyan's report, Su Yu had an idea and decided to let Tang Jingyan pretend to defect to the Japanese and puppets, and lead his regiment deep into the enemy camp, all lurking!
not only continues to be stationed in Tonghai, but also reconnoiters the enemy's situation and transfers supplies to coordinate the security of the southern Jiangsu base area.
It is not unusually difficult for more than 600 people in a regiment to lurk together, because once one person makes a mistake and is discovered by the enemy, if one person's mind becomes loose, if one person leaks the news, then they will all be wiped out!
But Tang Jingyan didn't hesitate at all, he just nodded heavily and said: "Okay"!
Tang Jingyan, who returned to the station, did not rush to deploy, but patiently waited for the fish to take the bait.
As expected, half a month later, Brother Lu came again!
Tang Jingyan did not agree in a hurry, but proposed that he want to meet Jiang Songping, the largest official of the Wang Puppet regime in the Tonghai area!
Brother Lu was happy when he heard this, because he was not afraid that Tang Jingyan would mention the conditions, but was afraid that he would not mention them. Agreeing without mentioning them would be the real problem.
Only when he puts forward conditions does it mean that he wants something. You can use money or power to win him over, which proves that he is a person who is unscrupulous for profit!
So he agreed on the spot and said, "It's easy to talk about. I'll arrange it for you now!"
Tang Jingyan put forward several conditions on the spot when he met Jiang Songping.
First, the barrel of a gun is my capital for promotion and wealth, and my soldiers cannot be touched.
Second, if you have land, you will have food to eat. I, Tangtuan, must be stationed in the old place to facilitate development, so I cannot move.
Tang Jingyan sat down and raised the price, his tough look made Jiang Songping not angry, but he was easy to talk to.
Because they did not persuade one person to surrender, but Tang Jingyan and his group of more than 600 people.
has agreed now, but it is not up to them to decide what to do with Tang Jingyan’s team in the future?
In this way, Tang Jingyan reached an agreement with the Japanese and puppet government.
Tang Jingyan was not relaxed after completing this step, because it was a big problem how to do ideological work for the soldiers below.
They originally defected to the New Fourth Army to fight against the enemy and defend their homeland. In less than two years, they defected to the Japanese and puppet regime. Can the soldiers agree?
Tang Jingyan was unsure. What was even more embarrassing was that the purpose of this undercover operation could not be told to them.
Tang Jingyan, who returned to the battlefield, convened a meeting of 38 party members and told them that our purpose of maintaining our organization and protecting our country and our country remains unchanged, but we need to change our fighting methods and persist in fighting on the spot.
means that only these dozens of cadres know about it, and the soldiers below can only find a way to complete it.
Next, Jiang Songping held a "welcome meeting for ten thousand people" for him, and at Li Shiqun's request, he officially sent a message to the whole society, announcing that Tang Jingyan and his troops would "vote to Wang and fight the Communists" and participate in the so-called "peace movement."
The reason why they did so many tricks was to use Tang Jingyan's surrender to build momentum for the Wang puppet regime.
The Wang Puppet Regime even gave them money as rewards, changed the name of the rice dumplings, and promoted Tang Jingyan himself to the rank of Major General of the Puppet Army!
Do you completely believe in Tang Jingyan and his army? There is no complete trust. To have complete trust, you have to withstand the test.
After joining the Japanese and puppet regime, the dumplings became even more corrupted. There were gambling games and dinners every night. Within two months, they were hanging around with the puppet army leaders from top to bottom, calling themselves brothers and having sex every night.
This was also a test for Li Shiqun. Seeing that the glutinous rice balls were so successful, he gradually felt relieved.
But there is something else going on in Tang Mansion that they don’t know.On the surface, people come and go in Tang Mansion every day, and the wine table and card games are busy every day.
But in fact, it is an underground workstation that operates efficiently, and the secret radio station that communicates with the headquarters of the New Fourth Army is hidden here.
Tang Jingyan, as for Tang Jingyan, indulged in the game of wine and cards all day long, just to obtain information of all sizes from the Japanese and puppet leaders, including how to deploy the "Qingxiang Plan", equipment and supplies, and how to provide them.
At the same time, all this information was transmitted to the rear in a timely manner through secret radio stations, which effectively supported the "Anti-Qingxiang Movement" in the base area.
According to Commander Su Yu’s plan, Tangtuan also had another important task, which was to transport medicines, gauze, guns, and ammunition that were urgently needed on the battlefield to the base area.
But these are tightly blocked by the enemy. How to transport them?
Tang Jingyan discovered that the Japanese and puppet troops were not good at fighting, but they were good at making money, so he learned from the Japanese and puppet officials to open trading houses and use their connections to transport supplies!
He followed suit and set up a Xieji Trading Company, serving as his own manager. In addition, he made use of various connections at the wine table and card games to quickly expand the scale of the public bank and opened branches in many ports along the Yangtze River.
At that time, the arms, medicines, salt, cloth and other strictly embargoed communication materials needed by the New Fourth Army in the north and south of the Yangtze River were right under the nose of Japan, and were continuously transferred to the hands of the New Fourth Army by Tangtuan.
But it is not easy for them to protect their comrades.
Late one night, Tangtuan suddenly received a call from the Japanese leader, asking them to set out immediately to cooperate with the Japanese army in a sneak attack on a New Fourth Army guerrilla unit that was resting.
Before departure, the Japanese military leader strictly prohibited shooting in advance, otherwise he would be shot directly.
The closer they get to the New Fourth Army, the more nervous the Tangtuan generals become. How are they going to notify their comrades? If they get any closer, the New Fourth Army will be in danger.
But by coincidence, a wild dog jumped out from nowhere and ran into it everywhere. Liu Jianping, who was leading the team, had an idea and fired two gunshots, shouting: "Get down quickly, there is the New Fourth Army."
The guerrillas who heard the movement moved quickly, while the Japanese soldiers behind screamed angrily.
This small scene of protecting their comrades happened often, but what they didn't expect was that a big danger was approaching.
After they had been lurking for about five months, an enemy agent discovered something was wrong with Tang Mansion. In order to ensure the safety of the radio station in Tang Mansion, Tang Jingyan arranged for several plainclothes soldiers to patrol day and night.
So, the enemy agent suddenly broke into Tang Mansion to catch Tang Jingyan off guard. Fortunately, Tang Jingyan was usually more cautious in his work and the enemy agent did not discover the radio station.
But this also aroused the vigilance of Zhang Beisheng, director of the Japanese and puppet "Qingxiang Office", so he decided to break up the entire glutinous rice dumpling.
He reduced Tang Jingyan's troops to two platoons, placed the Tangtuan side under the direct control of the Japanese army, and changed the port where Tangtuan was stationed to be guarded by Wang Puppet's own people.
Tangtuan was completely broken up and scattered in more than a dozen towns within a radius of 200 miles. Special agents were also set up among them, euphemistically called "joint defense."
For Tang Jingyan and the others, the odds are probably the worst.
But at this time, Su Yu told them good news on the radio:
no longer needed to be an undercover agent and could directly lead the troops home.
Because after several months of Tangtuan’s intelligence and behind-the-scenes operations, the Sunan base area has passed the most difficult period.
At this time, the soldiers who were scattered in various places were urgently summoned together by Tang Jingyan to formulate the next plan together.
That night, the Tang Mansion was filled with alcohol and the sound of shouting and drinking could not be heard. It turned out that this was a wedding banquet held for Zhou Xiancai, the commander of the second battalion.
All the resident Japanese and puppet leaders, big or small, received invitations from Tang Mansion, including Jiang Songping, Zhang Beisheng and other big spies.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the drunken agents were still playing cards and making money. Suddenly, after a few shots, a group of soldiers armed with firearms rushed in.
Jiang Songping and team leader Zhai Guangyao were shot dead before they could react. When the other agents saw that something was wrong, they were arrested one after another.
These soldiers are none other than Tang Jingyan's guard. Before they go home, they want to catch the enemy off guard and catch all the spies in one fell swoop!
At the same time, soldiers scattered in various places also acted suddenly and destroyed many enemy strongholds.
In the end, the soldiers successfully returned to the ranks of the New Fourth Army with a large number of seized guns, ammunition and cash.
Su Yu said to the soldiers, you are heroes! Isn’t
magical? A regiment of more than 600 people lurked in the enemy camp for 167 days, and used their wisdom and bravery to successfully complete the mission.
What do you think about this? #headlinescreationchallenge#
