In February 1935, the Second Crossing of the Four Crossings of Chishui, a great battle after the Z1z Zunyi meeting, was also a transitional battle between the Red Army's Long March to become passive and active, Zunyi Campaign .
On February 24, Lin Biao led the Red 1st Army to capture Tongzi in the north of Zunyi. On the 25th, the 3rd Red Army marched towards Tongzi. The 13th Red Army Regiment of Qianwei captured several prisoners of the Qianwei Army. It was learned that Loushan Pass had only 3 regiments of the Baihuizhang Department of the Guizhou Army, and 1 brigade of the Du Zhaohua Department was in Loushan. At the Black Temple nearly 3 kilometers south of Guan, head of the group Peng Xuefeng immediately reported to Peng Dehuai.
Peng Dehuai reported the above situation to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Republic (Central Revolutionary Military Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic, the highest leadership and command organization of the Red Army) and proposed to wipe out the enemy with swift action. Almost at the same time, Lin Biao also called the Military Commission, suggesting that the main force be used to eliminate the enemy of Guizhou in the south of the Guannan area.
The leaders of the two main armies coincided with each other, and the Chinese Revolutionary Military Commission was determined.
Zhu De called Peng and Lin: "The first and third armies should attack Loushan Pass, the enemy of the Black Temple, on the 26th, resolutely destroy it, and take advantage of the victory to seize Zunyi, in order to open up the key to red and transform the north of Guizhou. The whole army shall be returned to Peng Dehuai. Command."
On the afternoon of February 26, the Red Army captured the first fortress in northern Guizhou, the northern gate of Zunyi City, and Loushan Xiongguan.
In the evening, the bloody setting sun sprinkled on Loushan Pass. Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and Peng Dehuai successively rode up to Loushan Pass. As Mao Zedong thought of a few new words brewing when he passed Loushan Pass a month ago, as Mao Zedong thought of a few new words brewing when he passed through Loushan Pass a month ago.
He stepped on horseback again and continued " Recalling Qin'e·Loushanguan ": " the west wind is strong, and the sky goose is called Shuangchenyue. Shuangchenyue, the hoofs are broken, and the horns swallow. Xiongguan is like iron, Now we are moving forward from the beginning. From the beginning, the mountains are like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood..."
The oil painting "Loushan Pass"
collected by the National Museum of China suddenly has a combat staff report: "Commissioner Mao, the two divisions of Wu Qiwei are going to Zunyi Fast forward, the striker has crossed Wujiang with a knife."
Mao Zedong walked out of the poetic realm and said: "Tell Peng Dehuai that the enemy must occupy Zunyi City first, and then face Wu Qiwei!"
On February 27, the Red Army occupied Zunyi. On the 28th, the Red Army annihilated Wu Qiwei's 59th Division and 93rd Division in the south of the city Honghuagang and Laoyashan, and drove the enemy to the south of Wujiang, successfully ending the Zunyi campaign. The victory of the battle at Loushan Pass and the battle of Zunyi freed the Red Army from its passive position and shattered the attempt of Chiang Kai-shek and to wipe out the Red Army in the border areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
This is the biggest victory of the Red Army since the Long March. After the war
, the Red 3rd Corps held a battle review meeting in Yaxi. During the battle at Loushan Pass, it was responsible for breaking the enemy's retreat on the west wing. When Wu Qiwei counterattacked Zunyi City, he was responsible for defending the southern red flower hills of Zunyi City. Political commissar Zhang Aiping came up with the case: "You Huang Kecheng just didn't save it!" Z5z
Peng Dehuai was furious: "What's the matter?" Z5z
It turned out that the battle to capture Loushan Pass and occupy Zunyi City was extremely tragic. The Red 3 regiment sacrificed a lot, and each regiment lived to death. Peng Dehuai's close comrade-in-arms and assistant, Deng Ping, chief of staff of the Red 3 Army, also died during the siege.
At that time, Zhang Aiping and Chief of Staff Lan Guoqing accompanied Deng Ping to the frontier. The three were hidden in the grass on a small slope 50 meters away from the moat. They wanted to find a convenient route for the troops to move forward so that night fell. When launching a total offensive.
According to the combat regulations, this distance is farther forward than the attack of the first-line infantry squad, which is too risky.
Zhang Aiping recalled: “The legion’s order was to take down Zunyi before dawn, because the enemy reinforcements might arrive at dawn.” Z5z
might be worried about staying too long. Lan Guoqing once suggested moving, but Deng Ping did not agree. Because it is easy to observe here.
No one thought that a correspondent touched from behind and wanted to report something. Deng Ping confessed that the little soldier flew back in the twilight. This time, the three of them were exposed. At such a close distance, a row of bullets swept over, and the tragedy happened.
Zhang Aiping will never forget the scene at that time. Deng Ping handed the binoculars to Zhang Aiping next to him, and said: "The situation is urgent, and the enemy who will reinforce Zunyi may arrive tomorrow..." Before the voice fell, her head crooked.She fell in Zhang Aiping's arms.
Zhang Aiping once recalled painfully: "He died for me."
"It was a nine-shot stick (a rifle, commonly known as a nine-shot gun), shot in from the forehead, came out of the back of the head, and blood splashed all over me... …He was from the sixth phase of Huangpu ."
Zhang Aiping reported this sad news to Peng Dehuai, and she felt very painful. Peng Dehuai was even more painful than him, so she cursed on the phone: "You pigs and dogs, all of you raise them. I'm going to die..." Zhang Aiping said nothing on the phone at
. Peng Dehuai calmed down and said with earnest words that he would never forget: "The road to revolution is still long. You don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices!" "Z5z
Zhang Aiping
But in fact, the more intense battle was after the city broke.
Under the fierce offensive of the Red Army, the Qian Army, which was originally weak in combat effectiveness, completely collapsed, and 7 of the 8 regiments were defeated. The leader of the Guizhou Army, Wang Jialie, escaped from Zunyi City with the only relatively complete regiment, and met Wu Qiwei, who was ordered to reinforce him.
When the Red Army troops were attacking Zunyi with all their strength, from the direction of Qianxi , the main enemy's first column Wu Qiwei, who was chasing the Red Army northward, was also rushing towards Zunyi. They tried to arrive before the Red Army broke the city.
The soldiers are very fast and the imposing Red 3 Army defeated their abacus, and Wu Qiwei's department had to prepare to counterattack Zunyi.
Wu Qiwei's first column consisted of 4 divisions. It was a unit appointed by Chiang Kai-shek to follow the Red Army for a long time. Relying on the arrogance of "pursuing and suppressing" thousands of miles, it was arrogant and domineering.
However, the two divisions rushing to Zunyi at the moment are the defeated troops of the Red Army. Both divisions have fought against the Red Army in Jiangxi. 59 of them were wiped out by the Red Army in the fourth anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaign. , And later put it together again. The two divisions of
, on the one hand, rely on excellent weapons and equipment, and have some combat effectiveness; on the other hand, they have experienced the strength of the Red Army firsthand and are not without fear.
In the early morning of February 28th, Wu Qiwei brought two divisions to the outskirts of Zunyi. The 93rd division has entered Zhongzhuangpu. The forward stretched to Luojiang Bridge, which is only 2.5 kilometers away from the south gate of Zunyi. The 59th division also entered the new station. Advance to Zhongzhuangpu.
They plan to use two regiments from the 59th Division and one regiment from the 93rd Division to attack Honghuagang and Laoyashan in the south of Zunyi City via Taoxi Temple and . In addition, they will cooperate with the Qiang army from Zhongzhuang. Shop northward assists, the main force of the 93rd Division and a regiment of the 59th Division as the reserve team, assembled in the Zhongzhuangpu area.
Wu Qiwei, who has been relatively passive in the process of chasing and suppressing the Red Army, seemed quite confident at this time: The 2 main divisions of the Central Army and 1 complete regiment of the Qian Army were completely sufficient to deal with the Red Army. What we have to do now is to find a place to fight with them south of Zunyi. After
learned of the enemy's situation, the Red Army made a combat plan:
, the Red 3 Corps, who is good at fighting tough battles, sticks to the highlands around Laoya Mountain and Honghuagang in the south of Zunyi City to block the enemy and confronts Wu Qiwei's army. (The main peak of Honghuagang is 1002 meters and Laoya Mountain is 1053 meters above sea level. The topography of the two mountains is dangerous and it is the south gate of Zunyi.) The Red 1 Army, which is good at sports warfare, sent troops to the southeast of Zunyi, circled behind the enemy, and rushed towards Zhongzhuang, where Wu Qiwei's headquarters is located. Shop, cut off the enemy's back, and achieve the effect of annihilation in one fell swoop. The key to
's plan is whether the Red 3 Army can hold its position before the Red 1 Army roundabouts in place!
Mountain offensive and defensive warfare is purely a war of attrition. This is the last thing the Red Army, who is good at guerrilla warfare, wants to fight, but it must be fought at this time.
The two armies fight, the brave wins!
On the morning of the 28th, the two sides officially entered the battle. At the beginning of
, Wu Qiwei's ministry put on a violent rush, winning the tops of Honghuagang and Laoya Mountain in one breath. The Red 3 Army quickly organized a counterattack and also regained several mountains in one go. Soon, with the help of sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition, the enemy organized a counterattack and forced the Red Army down; the Red Army organized a counterattack and drove the enemy down several hills. In such a see-saw, the two sides competed repeatedly up and down the mountain, and the battle reached a fever pitch.
At about noon, the two armies faced each other at Honghuagang and Laoyashan. Wu Qiwei asked Wang Jialie's Guizhou Army to defend several highlands east of the Sichuan-Qianzhou Highway. As for the west of the highway, it was all defended by the Central Army led by Wu Qiwei.
Wu Qiwei continued to counterattack, first attacking Zhang Aiping's Red 11 Regiment, which was defending on the left wing of Laoyashan. The two regiments of the 59th Division were the main attackUnder the cover of the 11th regiment, they repeatedly charged.
Zhang Aiping recalled: "The number of enemies in increased from 1 regiment to 2 regiments. All of our 3 battalions came on top and stuck there, but the subsequent enemies were still on the ground. I think it is not enough to rely on myself. Huang Kecheng The 10th regiment (commander Zhang Zongxun, Huang Kecheng as political commissar) was guarded on the top of Laoya Mountain. I ran up to ask him to attack from the side of the enemy. Huang Bugan and said his task was to guard the top of Laoya Mountain. I can’t persuade him. He ran back again. Unexpectedly, the enemy turned to attack the top of Laoya Mountain. The 10th Regiment couldn’t resist and retreated to .” Z5z
Huang Kecheng
Wu Qiwei saw that it was difficult to achieve miraculous results for a while, so he changed his deployment, The troops of each regiment contained the Red Army in the direction of Honghuagang, and the rest of the troops were concentrated in Laoyashan. They tried to capture Laoyashan first, and then expand to gain full success.
If the previous attack on Honghuagang was tentative, then the Central Army's attack on Laoyashan was going all out. Unlike the weak Qian Army, the Central Army is well-trained and well-equipped. It not only has intensive artillery fire, but also aircraft to assist in the fight.
The Red 10 Regiment, which firmly defended Laoyashan, was under tremendous pressure. The officers and soldiers of the Red 10th Regiment repelled the enemy's offensive several times in a row, but the offensive of the Central Army became more and more fierce, and some positions had been breached. Zhang Zongxun, the red-eyed head of the
, decided to immediately launch a counterattack. He let political commissar Huang Kecheng stay in the main position, and he and Chief of Staff Zhong Weijian led their troops to countercharge.
For the Red Army, which is severely short of ammunition, the main weapon for recoil is bayonet. In the unprecedented cruel hand-to-hand combat, Zhong Weijian, who took the lead, died in battle.
Zhang Zongxun was shot in his right leg. The doctor took out the bullet for him and removed the rotten meat, finally saving the leg. This Whampoa V graduate has been injured many times during his long military career, and this is the most injured. The Red 10 regiment, which had almost wiped out its family, had to withdraw from the position, and the Red Army faced an extremely severe situation. The loss of the main peak of Laoya Mountain not only threatened the Honghuagang position from a condescending position, but also the city of Zunyi was also at risk. The situation of
is very serious. Once Laoyashan cannot be held, the roundabout encirclement of the Red 1 Corps on both sides of the enemy immediately loses its meaning. The military commission’s elaborate combat plan will be completely ruined, and all the results of the Red Army’s battle since its breakthrough at Loushan Pass will be lost. All previous efforts were abandoned.
Both sides know what it means to lose, whether offensive or defensive, it is a fight to the death. Hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat in the mountains, the positions of both sides were lost and recovered.
At this time, as long as there is a slight wave of any party, it is like a precarious embankment with a small crack and an instant defeat.
The battle is on the verge!
Peng Dehuai organized the Red 10th Regiment and 11th Regiment to launch a counterattack, and the two attacks failed twice. At a critical moment, the cadre groups of Chen Geng and Song Renqiong went into battle. What is interesting about
is that almost at the same time, the enemy who occupied the main peak of Laoyashan turned to defense inexplicably.
It turned out that the surprise soldiers of the Red 1 Army worked. The bloody frontal confrontation of the Red 3 Army was to leave plenty of space for the Red 1 Army.
Lin Biao led the Red 1st Legion, which had attacked the enemy's side from the Shuishi Dam area, thrusting sharp knives straight into the enemy headquarters at Zhongzhuangpu.
This is the key to the battle of Zunyi, and a knife is the heart of the enemy.
At this time, Wu Qiwei had put most of his forces on the fortified battle, and there were not many troops left around the column headquarters. Lin Biao's cut made him really bitter. Wu Qiwei had no choice but to take a few people around and flee, and ordered the troops to retreat.
looked at Laoya Mountain again, the enemy occupying the main peak was condescending to see clearly, and found that its command headquarters suddenly slipped away. If you say that you stick to it, your will is no longer strong. The
Red 3 Army counterattacked and fought bloody battles, and finally regained the main peak of Laoya Mountain and consolidated its original position.
Zhang Aiping recalled: “President Peng ordered us to attack from the left to regain the main peak, but did not take it down after two attacks. At this time Chen Geng’s cadre regiment came up, and Peng asked us to cooperate and attack again, and used Peng Xuefeng’s 13 regiment. Asked him to command the 12th regiment, they shot the enemy down from the side, we were from the front. We chased the enemy down to duck creek , the 1st regiment chased the knife to the water, the enemy cut off the pontoon, and the next battalion became a prisoner, Wu Qiwei’s two divisions were eliminated in this way."
was beatenThe collapsed Wu Qiwei's department was not a mob that collapsed at once, but was a remnant of the Fourth Army of the Iron Army, a powerful force in the Northern Expedition. Wu Qiwei was later promoted to the commander of the Fourth Army. In 1937, he led his troops to participate in the "August 13" Battle of Songhu. He fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for three days and nights on the front lines of Shanghai Jiading and Luodian, and wiped out thousands of enemies. Qiwei also won the title of "Mother of the Anti-Japanese Iron Army".
Wu Qiwei
However, in the face of the Red Army, Wu Qiwei really has nothing to come up with.
Wu Qiwei and Lin Biao were both members of the 12th Division of the Iron Army. Wu was the commander of the 34th regiment of the 12th Division, and Lin was the trainee platoon leader of the 12th Division's independent regiment, a senior of the Cantonese army, and a rearward of Huangpu. They once fought bravely against Zhang Zuolin's army at the Linying battlefield in Henan.
This time, Lin Biao gave the "old officer" a meeting ceremony. Wu Qiwei took two divisions in Wujiang, only one regiment was brought back, and he cried a lot by the river.
"Peng Dehuai's narrative" said: "Fighting Wu Qiwei's army counterattack, the first and third armies are completely automatic cooperation to defeat the enemy." The reason why the two main armies of
can automatically cooperate: First, it is the decentralization of the Chinese Revolutionary Military Commission. ; Secondly, from Peng Dehuai's daring to fight; similarly, from Lin Biao's good fighting.
In 1947, when Mao Zedong moved to northern Shaanxi, he commented to his right-hand man in the Red Army period: "Lin Biao fought hard and cruel; Peng Dehuai fought bravely and tough."
everyone has their own characteristics, but among the generals of the Red Army, only Peng Dehuai and Lin Biao are together. At the time, the difference in characteristics is the greatest, and the original characteristics of the two are more vividly set off by the other's characteristics. Both of them led the main force of the Red Army, grasping the characteristics, and complementing each other. Z5z
won the battle, it's time to judge the merits, and it's time to settle accounts after the autumn. Zhang Aiping is stubborn about Huang Kecheng not supporting herself.
Zhang Aiping once said: "What do you want others to like? I do things, sometimes a little leftist and reckless, as long as I want to do well, I don't pay attention to methods and methods." He recalled
: "I think Huang Kecheng and Zhang Zongxun did it. The tactical thinking is wrong. According to my idea, I won’t lose as much.”
“I get along well with Huang and Zhang. There are always wins and losses in wars, but this time Huang is too stubborn.”
“Huang Kecheng is just seeing you. I can’t save him. I don’t care who he is.”
...
Peng Dehuai was very annoyed after he found out the whole story. He took Huang Kecheng and Zhang Zongxun out of the table, and he was a next company and a fellow. Ha, I went to feed the pigs.
And why did General Huang Kecheng "see death and not save"? He explained this question in his memoirs:
"At that time, Commander Zhang Zongxun had already taken a team to attack. I stayed at the top of the mountain to guard, how can I leave without authorization?"
"And Lin Biao told me that the enemy has actually been supported. I can't help it."
...
may be a long time ago, and the memory is a bit biased; maybe the two people observe the problem from different angles.
However, it doesn't matter which one is right or wrong. At that time, Zhang Aiping and General Huang Kecheng could quarrel frankly and openly in front of Peng Dehuai, which did not affect their feelings.
In fact, Zhang has always regarded Huang as his elder brother and has always respected and defended him. Huang has always regarded Zhang as a younger brother and has never lacked respect and concern for him.
is just this little brother, who often makes Huang dumbfounded.
The two of them actually had a collaboration when they were in the Red 4th Division. At that time, Huang Kecheng was the division political commissar and Zhang Aiping was the division's director of the political department. They were a scheming man and a strong spirit. They were indeed a good combination.
Zhang Aiping often told a story when recalling Huang Kecheng in his later years. It was when the Red Army had just passed the Lianghekou, the 4th Division was stationed in the Miao Village. At that time, Bai Chongxi often sent people to provoke the relationship between the Miao and the Red Army. Destroy. In the middle of the night, there was a fire at the division headquarters, and smoke billowed from the Miao's Xiaomu Building where Huang Kecheng lived.
Zhang Aiping immediately organized a rescue. He recalled: "The whole room was full of smoke, Huang Kecheng, who was still lingering there. I was anxious, and shouted to the guard platoon leader, set it up, and dragged it away! Huang was still looking for: "My glasses! My glasses!" "Z5z
Zhang Aiping always imitates this story and laughs at the same time...
soon, Huang Kecheng and Zhang Zongxun returned to their original positions.
Huang Kecheng didn’t care about Zhang Aiping’s attack, and he did everything with fairness., Honest and honest.
In September 1941, in order to strengthen the command structure of the 3rd Division of the New Fourth Army, Huang Kecheng, the commander of the 3rd Division and political commissar, proposed to transfer Zhang Aiping as the deputy commander:
"I considered my actual situation, weak, and highly myopic. Disadvantages of military commanders. Moreover, I am a cautious person. When choosing fighters, I sometimes lack decisiveness in combat operations that may cause greater sacrifices. This is all disadvantages of a senior military commander in commanding large corps operations. Conditions."
Zhang Aiping, who later served as the commander of the 4th Division of the New Fourth Army, had the most dazzling performance in the anti-Japanese battlefield as the deputy commander of the 3rd Division. This also proved Huang Kecheng's unique vision.
In the spring of 1943, after the Japanese "mopped up" the Huaihai District, they immediately carried out a larger scale of "mopping up" the Yanfu district. For this "mopping up", the Japanese-Chinese Dispatch Army Headquarters drafted a campaign plan to mobilize more than 10,000 people from the independent 12th mixed brigade of the 17th, 35th, and 15th Divisions and nearly 10,000 puppet troops. In mid-February 1943, people, with the cooperation of the navy and air force, attacked the Yanfu District, forming a large arc-shaped encirclement from north to south, and blocked the coastal ports of the base area with ships. Under the cover of aircraft, the "comb-style" was implemented. "Repeated searches.
Five hundred li expedited: Devil wants to launch a large-scale raid on the base area!
Emergency meeting of Central China Bureau. At the
meeting, Rao Shushih, secretary of the Central China Bureau, made anti-sweeping arrangements on behalf of the Party Committee of the Central China Bureau. He said: In order to meet the unprecedented anti-sweeping struggle and adapt to the needs of the struggle, it was decided:
1. The New Fourth Army military headquarters will be transferred to Huainan 2 Division;
The second and third division divisions are also preparing to jump out of the enemy's encirclement and deployment;
Third, insist that the anti-sweeping struggle in the base area is under the unified command of the third division deputy commander Zhang Aiping. Based on the anti-sweeping struggle in the area, the party’s unified leadership was implemented. Zhang Aiping, the deputy commander of the 3rd Division, and the 8th brigade commander, political commissar, secretary of the Yanfu Prefectural Committee, and the commander and political commissar of the Yanfu Army Division, unified command of the 8th and 7th brigade sections. force.
4. Each cadre above the regiment prepares a set of plain clothes, the party school is disbanded, and the lesbians are evacuated to ambush (note: to hide in the home of a fellow villager or transfer to an enemy-occupied area)
is only allowed to win, not to lose! ...... The
task is deployed, and it is the individual's turn to speak to the organization. With this deployment of
Central China, the others seemed to have nothing to say, and everyone naturally turned their heads to Zhang Aiping sitting in the back row. The entire base area was entrusted to the deputy commander who was responsible.
"I won't do it!" Zhang Aiping stood up, said only these three words, and sat down.
can imagine the scene of the venue. Zhang Aiping recalled very happy at this time: "They are all dumb." The CEO of
Chen Yi hurriedly came forward and announced the adjournment.
...
said that, facing the formidable enemy, Zhang Aiping, who was in danger, was ordered to fulfill his mission and make a contribution to the third division. Huang Kecheng recalled:
In order to meet the needs of the struggle, the Central China Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army were transferred to the east area of Huainan Road at the end of 1942. When the enemy's "mopping" started, I took the lead in the division (district party committee organ) to jump out of the enemy's encirclement.
Under the unified command of Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the 3rd Division and 8th Brigade, and Secretary of the Yanfu Prefectural Committee, our army first avoided the enemy’s frontline and adopted a combination of internal and external lines, decentralization and concentration, and launched an anti-"mob" "struggle. When the enemy encircled me, I used one main force to block, harass, consume and exhaust the enemy along the way, and most of the main force turned to the enemy's side, looking for opportunities to counterattack. After the enemy's combined attack was empty, the district "mopped up" was carried out.
Our regions have relatively concentrated forces, attacking enemy strongholds, and inflicting heavy blows on the enemy. Local armed forces and militias actively launched harassment warfare, trapping the enemy in beatings everywhere. From
to mid-March, when the enemy was forced to start retreating, our army concentrated on the main force to counterattack and won the battles of Huangyingzi and Shanjiagang. Soon our army turned to a full counterattack, even defeating more than ten enemy and puppet strongholds. Our army took advantage of the victory to recover the Binhai County Xiaojianzi area and conquered Chenjiagang. From
to mid-April, the two-month anti-sweeping campaign in Yanfu District ended successfully, killing and injuring more than 1,800 Japanese puppet troops, conquering more than 30 enemy and puppet strongholds, and fighting for a group of puppet troops to carry guns anyway.
Zhang Aiping’s victory in the anti-"mopping-up" struggle has greatly improved the strategic situation in northern Jiangsu and inspired evidence.The enthusiasm of the local army and the people in the struggle strengthened their confidence in victory in the War of Resistance. In
's self-report in his later years, Huang Kecheng was still full of praise for Zhang Aiping and the 3rd Division’s military exploits:
Yanfu gentry praised our army for "using guerrilla tactics to constantly attack the enemy, and time divisions and schedules, supernatural, or Offensive or defensive, the pawn will be used for life, the national spirit will be carried forward, and the people will encourage it, and the results will be great. This shows that China will not perish." Z5z
The Secretary of the Kuomintang of Funing County also said: "The enemy has used Mount Tai to suppress the New Fourth Army. It is commendable that the New Fourth Army can preserve the main force. Unexpectedly, they counterattacked and regained their positions, which shows that the anti-Japanese war will win the way ahead."
Mr. Zou Taofen witnessed the victory of the anti-"mopping-up" and was overjoyed. He said with emotion: "The New Fourth Army cooperates closely with gentry friends, can trust each other at the time of life and death, and does not deviate from the high pressure of the enemy and the puppet. This is the united front policy of the CCP. This great success is by no means a lie. I don’t believe I can achieve such success if I can’t find the base areas behind enemy lines.”
However, Zhang Aiping, who is capable of fighting, why did he so openly resist the orders of the higher party committee at the Central China Bureau meeting? Forget it! In his military career, there has not been in the past, and never again.
Strangely, no one blamed him at the meeting, everyone was silent.
Zhang Aiping recalled: "Chen found me out, how did you talk like this? I said, what do you want me to say? Aren't they always correct? This time they are required to direct! Chen said, the past is over. That's it. Of course I want to listen to Mr. Chen's words. So I resumed the meeting. I said that after the battle, those hats should be taken back to me. Humph!"
"The situation is better than that of me in . The east north is so much better. Although there are many devils, the troops have been trained and the base areas have been built. The enemy enters the base areas, and the initiative is entirely on our side. Anti-sweeping, I have information. Just I feel angry, and I don’t listen to what I say at ordinary times. It seems that the world is peaceful, and I am so panicked in the battle. What is the unified leadership of the party, the government and the army? Where is the usual awe-inspiring power?"
"Z5z
" "Some people just look at whose power is strong, and they will swear by others. Today, I want to kill him."
...
Zhang Aiping's battle of fame will be at the Lushan Conference many years later. It caused Huang Kecheng a lot of trouble.
Regarding the role played by the 3rd Division in opening up the Central China base area, there have been disagreements on the evaluation of the 3rd Division’s operations for a long time. The opinion of some comrades of the Central China Bureau is that the main force of the 3rd division did not participate in the opening of the base areas in eastern Anhui, northern Anhui , and northeastern Anhui. In many battles, the 3rd division either cooperated in secondary operations or failed to complete the mission.
Huang Kecheng disagrees with this view. At the Central China Bureau meeting, he said that it is not my rightist opportunism, but that the military has problems with the guiding principles of anti-friction and anti-mopping operations. Some battles should not be fought, some battles are self-defense counterattacks, and some battles are campaigns to wipe out the enemy. They cannot be generalized...
These differences continued to the Lushan Conference. Huang Kecheng and Peng Dehuai were beaten as anti-party cliques. In the upsurge of exposing and criticizing, the old account of the War of Resistance in Central China has been revealed again. In addition to mentioning that Huang Kecheng has always been passive and conservative in combat. He also mentioned the anti-sweep in the Yanfu area, saying that Huang gave up his command, retreated and fled, and concealed himself in disguise. The Shanggang went online, criticizing Huang Kecheng for carrying out the Wang Ming line of right-leaning opportunism. He is a hypocrite who has different words and deeds and does not confess to the party. According to the memories of many comrades who worked in the 3rd Division, Comrade Huang Kecheng mastered the overall situation of the anti-sweep, and handed over the operations to deputy commander Zhang Aiping decisively. Before the enemy's counterattack, prepare for the worst and jump out of the enemy's encirclement so that frontline commanders can let go of command. During the entire anti-sweeping process, Huang never left the Yanfu area.
Zhang Aiping later recalled: "It is normal to have different perceptions at work. It is wrong and harmful to bring these differences into the political realm. The party should learn this lesson."
Withstands high pressure, Zhang Aiping kept up when Huang Kecheng fell into trouble An objective evaluation of him: "I will never do such despicable things." Z5z
General Huang Kecheng and General Zhang Aiping
Huang Kecheng How can they not understand? He is in "Read Me"He wrote: "The meeting adjusted the countermeasures and gathered all those who have a lot of relationships with me, asking them to expose me and criticize me. In order to avoid the suspicion of shielding anti-Party elements, many people have to show it. Several have worked with me for a long time. Comrades who know me as a person have never spoken at the meeting. This is a risk, and even I am worried that they will be affected."
Huang Kecheng has a mild personality and low-key silence, but as everyone knows, this does not represent him. He is a weak person. On the contrary, his fortitude and tenacity far exceed those of ordinary people.
"The world is as soft as water, and if it is frozen, you must not commit it." This sentence is probably the most appropriate to describe General Huang Kecheng.
At the Lushan meeting, Peng Dehuai was criticized. Many people were compelled by the situation and said something against their will. However, Huang Kecheng was determined not to fall into trouble and always believed that Peng Dehuai should not be criticized. In the end, even Liu Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai came forward to persuade him, but he never let go.
