When an undercover attacks into the enemy, the fewer people are involved, the better. With more people, there may be mistakes and be discovered by the enemy. Not only can the task be completed, the undercover himself may fall into danger and even lose his life.
However, in the history of the New Fourth Army, a regiment of more than 600 people entered the Japanese and puppets in a system, which lasted for 5 months. None of them was exposed, and they successfully broke out from the front line spanning 200 kilometers overnight.
This is the famous "Don't Tub Operation" in the history of the New Fourth Army.
Early experience
Tang Jingyan
The protagonist of "Tangtuan Operation" is Tang Jingyan, who is from Rugao, Jiangsu Province and was born in 1904. Tang Jingyan's early experience was quite complicated. He joined the Kuomintang when he was young and worked as a supervisor of the Kuomintang and a primary school teacher in Rugao County.
However, because Tang Jingyan's thoughts were left-leaning and were not tolerated by the Kuomintang, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Kuomintang authorities in 1930. Tang Jingyan's family sold his property and asked local celebrities to bail him, which allowed him to regain his freedom.
After being released from prison, Tang Jingyan chose to leave his hometown Rugao and came alone to the next county town Nantong and Haimen to make a living.
1937, after the full-scale war of resistance started, the passionate Tang Jingyan also joined the anti-Japanese activities. He organized an anti-Japanese guerrilla corps in the Haimen area, but this team is still "civilian armed forces" and its weapons and equipment are relatively backward.
1939, the Kuomintang saw that the anti-Japanese team had already reached a certain scale, so it sent people to recruit them. In order to better fight against the Japanese invaders, Tang Jingyan agreed to adapt and became the deputy leader of the guerrilla department of the Su-Anhui Border Region of Taizhou. In February 1941, Tang Jingyan's superior Li Changjiang's troops publicly announced their surrender to the enemy.
Tang Jingyan, who was the chief of staff of the Fourth Security Brigade at the time, was very angry when he found out. He resolutely led his troops to leave Li Changjiang's troops.
After leaving Li Changjiang's army, in order to continue to fight against Japan and serve the country, Tang Jingyan chose to join 1st Division of the New Fourth Army . Soon, the superior decided to form the Nantong County Tonghai Self-Defense Regiment based on the men brought by Tang Jingyan as the foundation, with Tang Jingyan as the leader.
Because Tang Jingyan's rule was good, the troops under his jurisdiction were not only brave and good at fighting, but also became a group with the people and were deeply loved by the people, so the local people called his troops "Tangtuan".
was ordered to surrender
and the reason why "Donutton" invaded the enemy was mainly related to the Japanese army's "cleaning the countryside" plan. At that time, the Japanese army was so angry that they were irritated by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army that insisted on the War of Resistance behind enemy lines. They not only often launched major raids, but also recruited surrenders and rebels everywhere, and cultivated more traitors through sugar-coated cannonballs.
Although Tang Jingyan was the commander of the New Fourth Army, because of his complicated early experience, he became the target of active win over by the Japanese army.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to Tang Jingyan's regiment headquarters.
His name is Jiang Songping, and he is a traitor who has surrendered to the Japanese army. This time he came to persuade Tang Jingyan to surrender and let him surrender to the Japanese army. Jiang Songping told Tang Jingyan that as long as he was willing to surrender, the Imperial Army would definitely treat him preferentially. At that time, whether it was a high-ranking official or a generous salary, as long as he said a word, he would have it.
Tang Jingyan sneered in his heart. If he wanted to surrender, he would not have led his troops to escape from Li Changjiang. He wanted to shoot the traitor in front of him with one shot, but then he thought that perhaps the other party still has value. So, Tang Jingyan did not immediately reject Jiang Songping, but smiled and said, "This matter is of great importance. I must think about it carefully. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, everyone is friends." After hearing this, Jiang Songping was very happy.
When Jiang Songping left, Tang Jingyan immediately found Su Yu, told him about Jiang Songping's purpose, and made a detailed report.
Su Yu was suddenly in deep thought. Jiang Songping's arrival gave him a way to break the deadlock: the situation is now stalemate. Since the Japanese army is thinking of instigating the New Fourth Army, why didn't they follow the other party and find someone to surrender, invade the enemy's internal and external forces, collect the enemy's intelligence, cooperate with our army inside and outside, and eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop?
So Su Yu turned his attention to Tang Jingyan: "You can promise him."Tang Jingyan was stunned and showed an unbelievable look. Su Yu explained: "Now the Japanese army has launched a large number of troops to sweep the situation, and the power in Tonghai area is relatively weak. If you resist with force, it may be difficult. I want you to pretend to surrender, invade the enemy, and collect intelligence. "
In Su Yu's opinion, Tang Jingyan's identity is quite special. He has been an intermediate officer in the Kuomintang and has been in the New Fourth Army for a short time, only a few months, so once he surrenders, it is easy to win the trust of the enemy.
Hearing this, Tang Jingyan was a little hesitant. He joined the New Fourth Army because he did not want to be a traitor, but now Su Yu asked him to surrender to the Japanese army. Although it was a fake surrender, he still had a hurdle in his heart. After a moment, Tang Jingyan gritted his teeth and agreed to Su Yu's plan to let him surrender.
Next is to make careful arrangements.
Examination Considering that there were too many traitors who surrendered to the Japanese army at that time, if Tang Jingyan surrendered alone, it would definitely not attract the attention of the Japanese army. If it could not be taken seriously, then there would be no access to some important information. Tang Jingyan's false surrender would lose its meaning. Su Yu thought for a while and decided to take a dangerous chess and let Tang Jingyan surrender to the Japanese army.
Su Yu's plan is not uncommon. As an undercover thing, the fewer people are involved, the better. Once there are more people, it is easy to make mistakes. A regiment has hundreds of people. Who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes? Once one person makes a mistake, then hundreds of officers and soldiers in the entire regiment may be caught by the Japanese army.
htm The risk of l0 is too great. However, in Su Yu's opinion, as long as it is deployed properly, this plan is still feasible.On the same day, Su Yu and Tang Jingyan deduced for a long time, thinking about the specific deployment and various situations that may occur in the middle. For example, how to contact the headquarters during the lurking period, the list of people who pretended to surrender, etc., everything was thought about.
Now, I will wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to let Tang Jingyan surrender to the Japanese army. Su Yu decided to direct this good show himself.
That night, Tang Jingyan suddenly fought with the New Fourth Army with his troops, and killed several soldiers. Finally, he led more than 600 people to successfully leave the New Fourth Army and surrender to the Japanese army.
The soldiers who were beaten to death were actually traitors.
This good show made the Japanese army see Tang Jingyan's sincerity.
Create a miracle
When Tang Jingyan led his troops to the Japanese army's garrison, the Japanese army had already heard of Tang Jingyan's "feat" when he left the New Fourth Army. They specially set up a banquet in the city to welcome him.
At the banquet, Tang Jingyan raised his wine glass and said, "Before, someone Tang went astray and left the bright road, he went to the New Fourth Army to be a regiment commander. The money he received every month was not enough to buy cigarettes. Fortunately, he has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. It is not too late, so he will follow the Imperial Army to have a delicious and spicy food in the future! "
The traitors were very happy to hear this.
In order to win the trust of the Japanese and puppet troops, Tang Jingyan began to let him go. He began to learn the style of the puppet army and mingled in casinos and brothels all day long, eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling. After eating and drinking, Tang Jingyan put on the coat of the Japanese and carriages and patrolling around. Sometimes he was still wandering around on the streets, looking like a big traitor.
Even so, the Japanese army was still worried about Tang Jingyan. They not only sent people to monitor him secretly, but also used various means to disperse the more than 600 people brought by Tang Jingyan, and distributed them in more than a dozen surrounding areas. In this regard, Tang Jingyan did not complain at all, but instead greeted him with a smile, because before coming, Su Yu had already thought of this and was prepared.
More than 600 people participated in the operation, each of which was carefully selected and had undergone strict review. All those who failed were eliminated, and there were dozens of senior veteran party members among the more than 600 people, which was absolutely reliable.
Tang Jingyan was full of confidence in them. The Japanese tested Tang Jingyan several times and also tested Tang Jingyan's subordinates, but no abnormalities were found every time. After many tests and tests, the Japanese army gradually let go of their vigilance. They began to believe that Tang Jingyan really surrendered, so they gradually valued him.
And Tang Jingyan has gradually let go, and he began to adapt to this new identity. He took the money given by the Japanese, ate, drink and have fun everywhere, and often invited other traitor leaders to dinner, and was very generous in his actions. When other traitors treat each other, Tang Jingyan always comes to visit him, and he always brings a heavy gift to visit him.
After a long time, the traitors all know that he is a loyal person, trustworthy, and naturally willing to get along with him. In the process of getting along with the traitor leader, Tang Jingyan was able to obtain important information and feed it back to Su Yu.
Su Yu was originally a rare military genius. Now with this information, he was like a fish in water. He led his troops to attack several times and unexpectedly eliminated a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.
Not only that, Tang Jingyan also used the contradiction between traitors in the city to sow discord and other means to make the traitors kill each other, and many traitors lost their lives as a result. At the same time, Tang Jingyan used means to conceal the situation and replace the pillars, and sent a large amount of military supplies to the New Fourth Army, including weapons, ammunition, cotton coats, food, and medicine.
However, some comrades who were unaware of the situation that Tang Jingyan led his troops to surrender was very serious, and now he became a big traitor, so he proposed to Su Yu to get rid of him. But Su Yu knew that Tang Jingyan was a fake surrender. In order to avoid his comrades accidentally hurting Tang Jingyan, he said, "No one is allowed to touch him without my order."
Five months after invading the enemy, Tang Jingyan felt that what he should do was almost done and it was time to return to the New Fourth Army. However, now more than 600 people have been dispersed by the Japanese army and have been scattered in more than a dozen strongholds around it. It is quite difficult for so many people to return to build at the same time.
If it is not built at the same time, it will arouse suspicion from the Japanese army, and other comrades who have not yet returned may be in danger.
After thinking about it, Tang Jingyan decided to ask Su Yu for help and asked him to send someone to contact the comrades who were pretending to surrender to determine the specific time for action. That night, Tang Jingyan invited the traitor leader in the city to the banquet on the grounds that his brothers were getting married.
These traitors are naturally willing to give Tang Jingyan the loyal and go to the banquet as scheduled. After three rounds of wine, Tang Jingyan saw that the time was almost over, so he threw the wine glass to the ground. The officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army who had been ambushed were immediately killed and sent all the traitors at the scene to see the King of Hell, and then returned to the New Fourth Army's garrison.
The officers and soldiers scattered in other strongholds also took action almost at the same time and emerged from each stronghold.
Soon after, Tang Jingyan and more than 600 people returned to the team.
This operation, led by Tang Jingyan, more than 600 New Fourth Army members entered the enemy in a system for five months. After being dispersed by the Japanese army to various strongholds and being at most 200 kilometers apart, no one was exposed. He successfully broke out from the front line spanning 200 kilometers overnight. Everyone returned to the team, and no one was injured or missing. This was simply a great miracle in the history of human war.
Tang Jingyan, the important hero who created this miracle, naturally received a heavy reward from Su Yu. After that, in order to expel the Japanese invaders and defend their country, Tang Jingyan fought south and north and made great contributions.
