Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 210 Five: Disagreement (seeking subscription, monthly ticket, various kinds!!!)

The vigorous Jidong riots completely stunned the Japanese themselves. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, the Japanese army base camp did not bother to pursue the responsibility of General Shou in the Temple, but ordered the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army to actively resolve this matter.

General Kotobuki of the temple did not dare to be negligent. After an urgent telegram with General Ueda, the North China Front Army decided to order the No.14 Division to go north immediately to quell the chaos. .

Obviously, the Japanese army has not yet figured out that there are a large number of regular troops mixed with the uprising troops in Jidong, but even if they know that the Japanese army will not care, because as long as the No. If the river is not used, then the number of Japanese troops in this area will surge to 14.

Quantity is an issue, more importantly the quality of troops.Among the 8 people, there are 3 permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, and there are [-] divisions, not to mention tens of thousands of mobs, even if it is hundreds of thousands, so what, Terauchi Shouichi has this confidence.

The news that the No.14 Division went north was quickly sent to the Joint Command. On July 7, Shi Jianfei and others held an emergency military meeting outside Chengde, where all senior officers and senior military and political cadres of the Eighth Route Army Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region held a meeting at the same time. join.

The meeting was presided over by Shi Jianfei. At the beginning, Shi Jianfei talked about the significance of the joint operations of the No.18 Army and the No.40 Army and other issues, and then said: "Now let Deputy Commander Nie talk about this for everyone. The specific situation of the uprising for a while!"

Deputy Commander Nie got up and said: "It is an honor for us Communists to cooperate with the heroic unit of the No.40 Army. The entire armed uprising in eastern Jidong started from the Gangbei Uprising on July 7th and the Yankou Uprising on July 6th. After more than a month of stormy fighting, our army staged a total of 7 large and small uprisings. The vast mountains and plains at the center developed and promoted the people of surrounding counties to participate in the uprising, such as Lulong, Funing, Miyun, Tongxian, Shunyi, Xianghe, Baodi, Ninghe, Wuqing, Xinglong, Qinglong counties, etc. A total of 7 counties participated in the riots, far beyond our expectations. The anti-Japanese system alone has formed 186 corps with more than 21 people fully armed. There are more than 7 people from the Kuomintang and other anti-Japanese troops. In addition, No The regular troops of the .47th Army and the No.3th Army have also expanded a lot, according to the information reported by the various troops three days ago. The number of participants in this riot was at least 40."

As soon as Deputy Commander Nie's voice fell, the conference room burst into warm applause.For a long time.

Then Shi Jianfei got up again and said: "The uprising was successful. There is no doubt about it. Although we have not yet overthrown the rule of the Japanese and puppet forces in eastern Hebei and the central and eastern parts of Rehe, we have greatly killed the vital forces of the Japanese and puppet troops. Shaken their confidence." The basis of rule. But we can’t ignore one problem. That is, there are many uprising troops. The order is chaotic and the discipline is poor, and unified leadership and command are needed. We must pay close attention to rectifying the troops. Now the uprising troops are independent, there is no unified leadership, let alone the establishment of counties The work of the anti-Japanese regime, responsible for unified food and fundraising, and ensuring the supply of troops. Therefore, we now urgently need to establish an anti-Japanese order, train anti-Japanese cadres, organize anti-Japanese and save the country, etc. "

"In addition, according to the urgent news from our intelligence department, the No. 14 Division of the Japanese Army has set off from Beiping and is heading north overnight. Although our small unit has destroyed the railway line from Beiping to Tangshan, there are other troops along the line. The No.14 Division can be blocked in every step, but we must pay attention to the gap between our army and the Japanese Army. The No.14 Division can enter Tangshan in a maximum of three days, so we must take corresponding measures, otherwise it will be difficult to fight with the Japanese army. This Japanese army is sharp and will fight to the end."

As soon as Shi Jianfei finished speaking, Deputy Commander Nie also frowned and said: "The situation is far worse than we imagined. I just got the news that the Second Division of the Kwantung Army stationed in Jinzhou began to gather yesterday. The railway from Jinzhou to Guannei Martial law began last night along the line, and many evidences show that the second division is likely to go south in a short period of time, so I suggest abandoning eastern Jidong and the central and eastern parts of Rehe, and withdrawing troops to Chongli and Chicheng for training and training, and waiting for the troops to form combat effectiveness Then go back to Jidong."

Li Yunchang, another deputy commander of the Joint Command, thought for a while and said: "Jidong's troops are mixed, good and bad, and the composition is complex, so no matter what the idea is, it's best for the troops to withdraw first. When the combat effectiveness of the troops increases, Jidong will be defeated sooner or later. our."

Shi Jianfei frowned and said: "West withdrawal is a solution, but our Commander-in-Chief Chen believes that westward withdrawal will not solve the problem. First of all, the insurgents are mixed. I can't afford to travel long distances. In addition, the situation in eastern Jidong is far from as serious as we imagined. Although the Japanese army in the three divisions is indeed not small, you must know that both the second division and the eighth division belong to the Kanto Army. The main responsibility of the Kwantung Army is to monitor and guard against the Soviet Union, and it is impossible for them to stay in Eastern Hebei for a long time. As long as we survive the first round of attacks, the Japanese Army will have no capital to continue fighting."

Wang Hansheng, the deputy commander of the instructor, also said: "In less than a month of this great uprising, our army organized an anti-Japanese force with more than 10 fully armed forces, and won many victories, and quickly established What does this mean? It means that our uprising has the support of the common people. Although the little devils are aggressive, but looking at the national war situation, how many troops can the little Japanese mobilize to fight, and how long can they spend with us? .Besides, the longer we fight here and the more Japanese troops are restrained, the more beneficial it will be for other troops on the battlefield. We are equivalent to indirectly supporting their battles. So I think we should not only retreat next, but also We should deploy more elite troops to the uprising area, restore China’s sovereignty in eastern Hebei, mobilize the masses, establish administrative regions and guerrilla areas in eastern Hebei, expand our military’s political influence in the enemy’s far-reaching rear, and strike the enemy.”

This is indeed Chen Feng's idea, it's not that Chen Feng underestimated those Japanese and puppet troops, but history has proved that the westward retreat is wrong.In history, when the leaders of the four verticals received information about the enemy's sweeping up of eastern Jidong, they overestimated the situation too seriously.In order to preserve strength and avoid the enemy's edge, it was decided to pull all the main force and uprising troops to Pingxi for training.When the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region repeatedly discouraged and failed, in late September, the main force of the Four Columns and the Jixian Anti-Union Forces began to move westward.Chen Qun was left behind, and three guerrilla detachments of Bao Sen and Shan Degui each with more than a hundred people insisted on Jidong.Other troops decided to withdraw westward.About 9 anti-union forces and local cadres in eastern Hebei marched westward to Pingxi via Zunhua, Jixian, Pinggu, and Miyun Mountains.At that time, the army lacked cadres and had no training. The newly established peasant team was far away from home, and was harassed and intercepted by the enemy along the way. The troops suffered heavy casualties and large-scale fleeing occurred.

As the senior officials of the Eighth Route Army concluded afterwards, it was a very inappropriate plan for the 5 to 6000 guerrillas to retreat westward together. The troops were not consolidated, the discipline was not good, and they could not march long distances, which was extremely dangerous.About [-] people from Gao Zhiyuan's troops walked ahead under the cover of the Eighth Route Army. After crossing the Chaobai River, they were blocked by the Japanese army and dispersed in groups, leaving only a thousand people to reach Pingxi.More than [-] people from Hong Linge and Chen Yuhuan walked in the middle and marched to the area of ​​Mashen Bridge in Jixian County.[-] people fled overnight.

About 3 troops led by Li Yunchang walked behind. They were blocked by the enemy in Shuiyu Wacantou, Miyun County. They fought a fierce battle for a day, killing and injuring more than 600 people.At this time, the morale of the army was shaken and the flight was serious.The soldiers felt that it was very dangerous to continue westward, and they might all run away.Therefore, a cadre meeting was held in Fangezhuang, Pinggu County, and after careful discussion, it was decided to return to Feng, Luan, Qian, and Zunyuan to persist in the guerrilla warfare in eastern Hebei.After the meeting, Li Yunchang led more than 6000 people who formed the system back to the Yangliuzhuang area in Luan County.At this time, the Japanese army has transferred a brigade of Kobayashi's troops from Wuhan to carry out a sweep of our army.The already exhausted troops fought hard for days in the Dongxi'an River and Houliangzhuang Pianshan area in the north of Luan County, and sacrificed a lot, so they had to break up into scattered activities.A total of 5 people from the Anti-Alliance Alliance followed the Fourth Zongxi to withdraw more than 1000 people from Gao Zhiyuan. More than 90.00 guerrillas from Jixian County arrived outside Pingxi, and only a thousand people remained in the East of Hebei.The general retreat caused the loss of more than [-]% of the eastern Jidong uprising troops and the liberated areas. A large number of scattered anti-Japanese fighters were massacred by the Han gang of the Japanese invaders, and countless people died.

Practice has proved that westward withdrawal is a road of no return. Now the troops are strong and strong. Even if the Japanese army has two divisions, compared to the big Jidong and half of Rehe, there are still too few. How many troops can be used to attack, and now there are more than 40 elites of the No. 3 Army near Chengde, and nearly [-] elites of the Eighth Route Army in East Hebei, so self-protection is definitely no problem.

But both Deputy Commander Nie, Li Yunchang, and Deng Hua of the Eighth Route Army's Four Columns all believed that retreat was the most correct choice, and staying in the uprising area would only be taken by the Japanese and puppet troops.On the other hand, Shi Jianfei and others advocated staying in the uprising area to continue the struggle. The two sides had serious differences on whether to withdraw or continue to stay in the uprising area.The meeting lasted all day, but neither of them could convince the other, so they had no choice but to submit the problem to the higher authorities for resolution.
