Chapter 22 Chapter 21 The Ups and Downs 4 Army

It was the first day of 1933. A tired team of more than 500 people marched in the snowy fields of Jidong. Those wearing the uniforms of the Northeast Army are more indistinguishable from ordinary people. The same is the "National Salvation Army" armband on the left upper arm, and a long and thin grain bag hanging around each person's neck.Rifles were carried on their backs, some on their backs, and the belts of the guns hung down on their chests.Dog skin hats, or three-eared melon-skin felt hats, the hat ears tightly protect the cheeks and chin, and the hat ears, eyebrows, and beards are all covered with frost.

This is the supplementary regiment led by Li Yanlu and the 17th regiment of the National Salvation Army. They just broke out from the Whetstone battlefield and are moving to Wuhelin, Ning'an County. In November 1932, just before the Japanese army aggressively invaded Jidong, the Suining Central County Party Committee held an emergency meeting and decided to wait for the opportunity for the supplementary regiment to separate from the National Salvation Army and establish a guerrilla group directly led by the party.For this reason, Li Yanlu proposed to lead a supplementary regiment to the front line to stop the Japanese army from advancing eastward. Wang Delin agreed, and also handed over the 17th regiment and the headquarters guard battalion to his command.Li Yanlu worried that the guard battalion might hinder the next step, and after arriving at Modaoshi Station, he sent it back to the Dongning headquarters.

Modaoshi is located 20 kilometers east of Mudanjiang, where the Middle East Railway begins to enter Laoyeling. On the morning of January 1, 1933, under the cover of artillery fire, nearly 2,000 Japanese troops attacked the whetstone.The National Salvation Army occupied a favorable position and resisted tenaciously.In the evening, the Japanese army who had turned back to the east also launched an attack. The National Salvation Army was attacked by the enemy. Li Yanlu ordered to withdraw from the battle and break through the encirclement with light clothes. Arriving at Wuhelin on the 2nd, according to the decision of the Central County Committee, the team was reorganized into the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps, with Li Yanlu as the commander, Meng Jingqing as the political commissar, and Zhang Jiandong as the chief of staff.There are 4 regiments, 1st regiment head Yang Taihe, 2nd regiment head Li Fengshan, 3rd regiment head Shi Zhongheng, 4th regiment head Zou Fengxiang, and 1 guerrilla detachment, Li Yanping is the detachment leader.

On the night of the establishment of the guerrilla corps, Adjutant Wu and others from the former Supplementary Regiment Headquarters fled to join the enemy.Wuhe Linbao Dong Zhao Baoyi, while pretending to comfort the troops, sent people to secretly report to the enemy.Fortunately, it was discovered in time that the regiments evacuated separately, and many personnel were lost. There were only more than 300 people left in the team. The most urgent thing is the more than 300 mouths.When the Whetstone broke through, the materials and money carried by more than 30 pack horses were lost, and the little money and medicine left were kidnapped by Adjutant Wu and others. Now it is a problem to eat.

A few days later, I met Li Guanglin, Secretary of the Ning'an County Party Committee, in Heshangtun.When it came to economic difficulties, Li Yanlu asked if he could get support from the local government.Li Guanglin said that firstly, food should not be distributed, and secondly, taxes should not be collected from the "big name", but should be taken from the enemy, and he said this is the party's principle. Both Wang Yufeng and Feng Shouchen were former members of the National Salvation Army and knew Li Yanlu well. They each led teams of about 200 people in Ning'an area, and they were willing to join the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps.After the team expanded, it was renamed the Northeast Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Guerrilla Army, and came to Tuanshanzitun for training.The Japanese and puppet troops came to attack and were repelled. The guerrilla army moved to Badaohezi.The Japanese and puppet troops invaded again, and after running out of ammunition, the guerrilla army retreated south to Majiadatun, Gayahe District, Wangqing County.

Majia Datun is the seat of Jidong Bureau, a typical red land.The children's regiment stood guard, the self-defense force delivered food and vegetables to the troops, the women's association washed and sewed clothes for the officers and soldiers, and held a gun contest with the self-defense force to welcome the arrival of the guerrillas.There was a row of puppet troops on the Tu(our) Ning(An) railway construction site, and the girl from Tunli passed by there, and the sentinel on duty said to discuss a matter, marry me as his wife.The girls retorted, saying that if you marry an anti-Japanese hero, who will marry the surrendering army?Play a lifetime bachelor to go.Almost all the girls and daughters-in-law in the village were dispatched that day, two against one.Of course, the young man from the Self-Defense Forces would not show weakness, and also disarmed the Ludao Puppet Police Station.

Everything in the red land refreshed the guerrilla officers and soldiers. No matter how many left things were carried out in the East Manchurian Soviet area, they provided a base for the guerrillas. The 1st Army, 3rd Army, 5th Army, 6th Army, and 7th Army were also developed and grown under the leadership of the local party organization and relying on the base area. The 4th Army is an alternative.Since the supplementary regiment, they have been guerrilla everywhere, fought many battles, and achieved great results, but they have no roots like duckweed.Not to mention that until this summer, in the eyes of some people in the Suining Party, Li Yanlu's team, who engaged in "collusion with the upper echelon", was at most nothing more than a "good beard".

Li Yanlu proposed to go north and east to Mishan.It is remote and the enemy's rule is weak. There are many remnants of Li Du's self-defense army active, and Yang Taihe's 1st regiment has laid a foundation there. If they can establish a relatively stable base there, they will have a home. Most of the officers and soldiers were farmers from Wangqing, Dunhua, and Ning'an.A man named Wang Fengshan killed the company commander, kidnapped the battalion commander, and instigated more than 80 people to leave the team.Li Yanlu rushed there overnight, explaining that as long as he continued to fight against Japan, he could stay in Ning'an, so he released the battalion commander.

It was a bad start, and it was not smooth after arriving in Mishan. Mishan County is sparsely populated, with the southeast bordering the Soviet Union. The Japanese and puppet authorities believed that most of the residents had "pro-Soviet tendencies."When the guerrilla army arrived here in June, there were more than 80 anti-Japanese armed forces in the territory, with more than 16,000 people.On the day the guerrilla army arrived in Haojiatun, the leaders of several teams came to pay a visit.Among them, Su Yanren of the "Little White Dragon Team" who volunteered to adapt it, and his method of raising food and supplies, especially aroused Li Yanlu's interest.Since leaving the National Salvation Army, Li Yanlu has been in a hurry to get angry because of people eating horses and feeding ammunition.He believes that it is natural to seize from the enemy, and the approach of the "Little White Dragon Team" is also advisable.

However, on the issue of inclusion, several major leaders have different opinions.Before coming to Mishan, the Jidong Bureau transferred Meng Jingqing and Zhang Jiandong away, and Zhang Wenkai and Zhang Kui, who had just returned from studying in the Soviet Union, acted as political commissars and chiefs of staff. They believed that this was a matter of principle and they should listen to the opinions of the Mishan County Party Committee. According to Li Yanlu's recollection, on April 3, he listened to Tong Changrong delivering the "1.26" instruction letter at the Jidong Bureau.The Mishan County Party Committee only received this letter a year later, and at this time it was also scratching its head and worrying about its relationship with the Mountain Forest Team.Affected by the Tulongshan riots, farmers in Mishan County, including some wealthy households, are also planning a civil uprising.Some mountain forest teams wanted to cooperate with the Mishan guerrillas, and the county party committee wanted to support them, "but in this work, I may make the mistake of colluding with the upper class."Li Yanlu once explained the spirit of the instruction letter to the county party committee, but the county party committee believed that it was not officially conveyed by the organization, so it did not count.

When Zhang Kui went to ask the county party committee for instructions, he not only brought back the word "no", but also said that the Guo Baoshan brigade of the puppet army stationed in Pingyang Town had a party insider, and the county party committee asked them to send someone to contact them.Pingyang is the largest town in Mishan County, more developed and prosperous than the county seat.That is to say, it was decided to unite several mountain forest teams, cooperate with the inside and outside, and take it down. Liu Hanxing, deputy chief of staff, drafted the "Report to the Puppet Army Soldiers", in which "Chinese people will not fight Chinese people, but unite to fight Japanese people." Some people thought that there was no class nature, and disputes arose. Ready to fight, before the troops from all walks of life arrived, the enemy in Pingyang Town dispatched first.As soon as the inside information arrived, the gunshots rang out.In a hurry to fight, 24 people below the commander of the security company of the military department were killed and more than 100 people were injured.After the war, the responsibility was investigated, and everyone held their own opinions.Chen Rongjiu, who later became the commander of the 7th Army, was an adjutant of the military department at this time, and handed over Liu Hanxing's pistol, saying that he was ordered by the political commissar.In a fit of anger, Liu Hanxing returned to Ning'an with his messengers. Before, the puppet troops stationed in half of the river had come to "crusade". Wang Yufeng led 2 regiments to meet the army headquarters, strayed into the enemy's line, and sacrificed 15 people.Even losing battles, some officers and soldiers thought it was all due to their unfamiliarity with the places they were born in, and they had to be in Mishan to fight Japan? !Then there was another wave of returning home. The summer in the Great Eastern Wilderness is short, and the autumn wind is blowing in a blink of an eye.The officers and soldiers who were still wearing single clothes were shivering like a frigid bird, and some people kept leaving the team.Everyone knows that this look is not enough to survive this winter.Soon, Wang Yufeng's 2nd regiment and Feng Shouchen's cavalry battalion also returned to Ning'an.More than 400 people left at once, and the team led by Li Yanlu, which was renamed the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Army, had only the military headquarters and the 1st regiment of less than a hundred people left in the basic team. Both the Jidong Bureau and the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee believed that this team had "collapsed", "the root cause of the collapse was that it was ruined by the Right opportunist line in collusion with the upper class." Zhang Wenkai went to the Jidong Bureau to report to work, and was sent by the Jidong Bureau to the Raohe guerrillas.Li Fa, the director of the political department who had just been transferred, was also transferred back to Jidong Bureau.When Zhang Wenkai and Zhang Kui were sent, they undoubtedly had high hopes.The Mishan County Party Committee had shown no enthusiasm for this team led by a well-known "upper collusion" figure from the very beginning, and it didn't matter this time. This team, which changed its name three times in half a year, has become an outcast. Ning An can incorporate the "Ping Nanyang Team", why can't Mishan?Li Yanlu didn't know that Yu Hongren and Li Fanwu were also under strong pressure.He has too much confusion, and he doesn't understand why it is so difficult to fight Japan. It is not difficult to fight on the battlefield, but because of off-court and internal factors. He gritted his teeth.He knew that he could only save himself now, and he could only vent his confusion, worry, and even sorrow on the enemy, and he finally seized the opportunity. In late September, after receiving information, the Tao Corps of the Puppet Army stationed in Mishan County went to Raohe, and the city was empty of troops.Li Yanlu immediately sent a team to pretend to move towards the half of Hezhen, building up momentum along the way, secretly mobilizing the main force and several mountain and forest teams, and marching at night to attack the county. In the middle of the night on October 6, gunshots and slogans suddenly erupted, "It's a friend handing over a gun to save his life, and it's an enemy making a gesture of gestures."Zhang Baodong, the captain of the security team stationed at the west gate, shouted at the top of his voice to open the city gate.Yang Taihe, the commander-in-chief of the front line, immediately ordered to stop the "painting contest" and let him out of the city.Then, siege troops from other directions also broke into the city one after another. Opening Mishan County, the seizure was very rich, the low morale was lifted, and the immediate problems were solved, but the fate of the abandoned children could not be changed at all. Wu Ping arrived in Jidong in September 1934. Li Yanlu described in his memoirs: "Comrade Wu Ping is about thirty years old, wearing glasses, a robe, and cloth shoes, completely dressed like a primary school teacher. He has a chic demeanor, a quiet demeanor, but handsome eyebrows, which is touching. Proud." The "Manchurian Provincial Party Committee Inspector" from Moscow, the first action after entering the Northeast, was to hold an enlarged meeting of the County Party Committee in the Hada River Ditch in Mishan County before the Dragon Boat Festival.One of the important contents of the meeting was to convey and study the "1.26" instruction letter. Of course, it was not to follow the scriptures, but to seek truth from facts and criticize highly targeted ones. Wu Ping said: Before the instruction letter, the Northeast Party followed the "Northern Conference" line, and the resolution of the May meeting of the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee has been checked.This is a mistake made by our party, comrades do not have to carry the burden.However, each of us should examine ourselves and see what problems existed in the united front work in the past.In the past, it was believed that the upper-level leaders of the Volunteer Army were reactionary, and that a united front with them was "collusion with the upper-level", which was wrong.The development of the upper-level united front is precisely to facilitate the lower-level united front, and it is not contradictory.We must understand the particularity of the Northeast, understand that anti-Japanese is not just a matter of which party or team, but a matter of the entire nation, and we must form a united front of the entire nation. On December 8, "Wu Ping's Letter to Chen Ya" said: Even if the current anti-Japanese guerrilla war is not under our leadership, even if it is against communism, as long as we do not surrender to Japanese imperialism at present and engage in armed and bloody struggle against it, objectively, the rule of Japanese imperialism will be weakened. Objectively it is a revolutionary struggle.You do not understand this. Li Yanlu, who was expanded into the meeting, was excited and felt that he was liberated this time. On March 20, 1934, the Mishan guerrilla team was formally established. It once cooperated with several nearby mountain forest teams, and the county party committee required them to use the standards of the guerrilla team.At a joint meeting, Pu Fengnan, the deputy secretary in charge of the military, severely criticized the "Liangshan Team" and "Qiu Jiachang Team" for violating the interests of the masses and openly inciting soldiers to rebel and seize power. The leader of the Mountain Forest Team became angry. In August, after a joint attack on the compound of the traitor landlords, the "Liangshan Squad" disarmed a detachment of the guerrillas and snatched 9 rifles, 4 box guns and a telescope.The county party committee sent people to negotiate, and "Liangshan" led the team and ran away.The county party committee asked Li Yanlu to lead a team to Hada River and order "Liangshan" to return the guns, otherwise they would send troops to encircle and suppress them.Li Yanlu arrived, and so did Wu Ping. We have to listen to Wu Ping's opinion on this matter.His method is quite simple. He suggested to write a letter to "Liangshan". The gun is also used to fight against Japan at your place, so I will give it to you. From now on, we will continue to cooperate in the war of resistance. After seeing the letter, "Liangshan" rushed to apologize, and the other mountain and forest teams also accepted, and the relationship with the guerrillas immediately changed. Li Yanlu said in his memoirs: I "found a brilliance of extraordinary intelligence in his eyebrows". The Mishan County Party Committee is very "leftist". The main leaders are not united, they act according to their subjective will, and they don't take the secrecy work seriously.Most of the local people know the location of the county party committee and the name of the leader. If one person rebels, everything is over. In early October, Wu Ping held an enlarged meeting again to reorganize the county party committee and transfer all cadres known to the locals to the army.The enemy, who had already found traces, conducted a large-scale raid in the Hada River area more than half a month later.Everyone gasped: What a surprise! Li Yanlu didn't expect Wu Ping to come, and immediately stretched his arms and legs.Li Fanwu, who was also tossed very hard in Ning'an, heard his voice before seeing him. Yu Hongren's blood delayed the progress of the anti-"rightist" movement, and it only delayed the first day of the junior high school, not the fifteenth day of the junior high school, and it was clearly required that the task must be completed before the sorghum was cut down.That is to say, during this period, all the landlords, rich peasants and "reactionary military officers" who "colluded" into the party must be expelled from the party, and the "rightist" poison of the county party committee must be eliminated.There was only half a month left, and he was biting the bullet and was struggling. Zhang Lin, a special commissioner of the regiment and provincial committee, came from Mishan and told the situation in Mishan in detail. Li Fanwu was overjoyed. There is a savior. Wu Ping came to Ning'an from Muling in early December.Li Fanwu was sick and couldn't get out of the kang, so he was at Dengjia's elder's house in Dengjia Youfang in Paoziyan.A man came in that day, wearing glasses, a mustache, a dark gray robe, and a tan medicine bag.Stepping into the threshold, I greeted Mrs. Deng who was sitting on the Nankang, and introduced himself as a "Mr. Flower Planter" ("flower" means cowpox) in southern dialect.He said that the aunt had a good complexion and a strong body, and then he chatted about how many people there were in the family, and whether the children had ever planted "flowers".At this moment Li Fanwu coughed, "Mr. Planting Flowers" turned around and said: Are you the brother of this family?Your complexion is not good, I'll feel your pulse, if you're right, use my medicine, if you're wrong, I'll rest, and I have to go to Tokyo in the afternoon. Li Fanwu's heart beat violently, which was a code word for the conversation.Then he said: "It's nothing for a farmer to have a headache and brain fever. If you do some work and sweat through your birth, all diseases will be cured." Wu Ping grabbed Li Fanwu's hand: You are the big man Li. Li Fanwu said in his memoirs: "Since I served as the secretary of the Muling and Ning'an County Party Committees, it was the first time that I heard the superior leaders so clearly expounded the strategy and policy of the anti-Japanese united front, and thoroughly analyzed the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese struggle. After listening to his words, I felt very bright in my heart." On December 10, Wu Ping made a report on "The Error of "Left" Closed Doorism and Current Work Tasks" at the enlarged meeting of the Ning'an County Party Committee. Wu Ping's mission to Jidong was mainly to correct the "leftist" mistakes of party organizations in various places, implement the anti-Japanese united front, establish the Jidong special committee, and clean up the mess after the Jidong Bureau was destroyed. From Mishan, Muling to Ning'an, this well-mannered "Southern barbarian" made bold cuts with a sharp knife. The "Jidong Special Committee's resolute proposal to the Fifth Army" written in Chapter 18 above is also Wu Ping's opinion that the Fifth Army should jump out of the old Ning'an area and go to the new area to develop and open up base areas. Wu Ping played a decisive role in correcting the "left leaning" closed-doorism of the Jidong Party.His deeds and contributions in Jidong are all-round. Wu Ping went to Jidong, and Wei Zhengmin went to Dongman. Although they had the background and instructions of the Communist International, their personal charm must not be underestimated. Wu Ping, formerly known as Wu Zhaoyi, was born in 1907 in an intellectual family in Dawu County, Hubei Province. He studied at the Primary School Attached to Wuchang Normal University and Wuhan Middle School. He joined the Communist Youth League in 1926, studied at Sun Yat-Sen University in Moscow in 1927, and was transferred to the Eastern Department of the Communist International in 1933. He was entrusted by the Chinese Communist Party delegation to be in charge of the work of the Manchuria Provincial Committee, and served as secretary of the Jidong Special Committee. He returned to Yan'an in February 1938 and changed his name to Yang Song. As the first deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, he also taught political economy, classical philosophy, Chinese history and the history of the Communist Party of China at the Central Academy of Marxism-Leninism. In March 1941, he served as the editor-in-chief of "Liberation Daily". On November 13, 1942, he died of lung disease at the age of 35. Mao Zedong said: "Comrade Yang Song is conscientious and responsible. We should remember him and learn from him." Cao Shuyan, the director of the technical teaching and research section of Xuanhua Artillery Academy before retiring, was born in Caojiapuzi, Fengcheng County, Fengtian Province in 1919. He is less than 1.60 meters tall, quite stocky, and fast-talking.The author interviewed more than 20 times. When I entered the room and sat down, the first sentence the old man said was: "Where did you talk yesterday?" The old man said, I had an uncle and grandpa who lived in Lianhua Paozi, Muling County. When I was ten years old, my family went there.It was not cost-effective to rent land to plant there, so I went to Wudaogou in Liumaohezi, Mishan County.It's hard to see a family if you walk dozens of miles away from that place, and the land is fertile. To use a common saying, the soil is full of oil.What is the farmer trying to do?I built a shack, got up early in the morning and climbed in the middle of the night to open up wasteland and farm land. I dug a dozen or so fields in two years.In the third year, a landlord surnamed Zhang came and said that next year you have to pay rent.Hearing this, my heart went cold.I thought it was unclaimed land, and if I dig it, it is my own. Who knew that I would ask someone to run around and occupy the circle?Whether it belonged to him or not, only God knows.Today, if you say it’s yours, why don’t you take out the title deed?How dare you ask at that time, people bring gunners.No one cares about killing people in that area, and no one knows. The old man said that things changed before the rent was paid, and beards grew everywhere.The common people don't understand the "Volunteer Army", so they call it Huzi.There's nothing wrong with a bunch of beards, and the "wisps" (to describe a large number of people, in an endless stream) will pass by, and the most abominable thing is the stickman.Your family fell asleep on the north-south kang, and he entered the house, holding sticks and axes, one at a time, taking whatever he wanted.With a little wind, people all went up the mountain.I have a third uncle who said that he froze to death when he went up the mountain in winter, and he was beaten to death by a stick hand if he didn't leave. By 1935, it was the Anti-Japanese League that came and went frequently.There is a Guan Tuanzhang who likes Cao Shuyan very much, and when they meet, he says "Xiao Gadouzi" (little one, child), come with me, and tells him the principles of resisting Japan and saving the country. "Slaves of the Subjugated Country" can be understood immediately, but "colonies" can't be understood very well.I don't understand, I can't survive this day.When the Anti-Alliance, fight against Japan, even if you die, you are still a serious Chinese, worth it. The first battle Cao Shuyan participated in was at Linkou this autumn.Heideng blind, don't know where to go, just follow and run.Rushing into the town, I heard a horse barking, and a Japanese wild horse was tied up in a yard.He ran to the front and stumbled, he was a dead devil, and he still had a bastard box in his hand. When he came back after the war, no one had the air of Cao Shuyan: he was riding a big ocean horse with a bastard box on his waist—forgot to take off the holster, otherwise he would be even more airy when he was wearing it cross-body. The squad leader told him that the seized items should be returned to the public, and then the superiors would distribute them uniformly. Cao Shuyan said: No, I got it. I used it to hunt Japanese, and I didn't ride it home to farm or "hunt". The platoon leader told him that this is the rule and discipline of the Anti-Japanese League.He was just as confident as before, thinking in his heart: Are you hungry?If you want to fool me, use it yourself?Think beautifully. Cao Shuyan was dumbfounded to see that others had handed over all the captured horses and bullets to the company headquarters. The old man said with a smile: The Anti-Japanese Federation did not make any "meritorious service".Otherwise, I can make a third-class merit in the first battle without saying anything. In late March 1936, Li Yanlu was transferred to Moscow to report on his work, and was going to be sent back to China to do united front work in the customs. Li Yanping acted as the commander of the 4th Army. On April 1, Li Yanping led the military guard company to escort Li Yanlu to the Mishan County Party Committee, and the two brothers said goodbye.Afterwards, Li Yanping led a team to Fangzheng and Tonghe, looking for the 2nd Regiment and the remaining troops. When they passed Boli, a battle broke out and suffered heavy losses. Li Shouzhong, the political commissar of the 1st Regiment, and Deng Huanan, the former political commissar of the 3rd Regiment, died. The exact time is unknown, but the specific location is said to be in the Dasi Station area, while others say it is in the northwest of Qingshanli.Cao Shuyan, who may be the only surviving witness of this battle after the founding of New China, thinks it should be the latter. From the army commander to the soldiers, a group of 38 people are all cavalry.Before that, I took a day off at Xiaowu Station, traveled overnight, and arrived there at dawn.It was a meadow, and there was a sledge road in front of the mountain. In Boli in early April, the mountains and plains were still white, and there was knee-high snow in the ravines.The pioneer soldiers in front found a pile of yellow and mushy things like wooden piles on the hillside beside the sledge road, and hurriedly reported it, and Adjutant Chen of the military department saw the "wooden piles" move.It's a devil, and it looks like a small team. Li Yanping asked: Can we fight? Adjutant Chen said: If there are only these Japanese, they can fight. The old man Cao Shuyan said that this battle should not be fought for many reasons, the key being that the enemy's situation is unknown.A small group of Japanese soldiers would not enter the mountain easily, there must be others nearby, and the worst is the puppet army, in fact, they are all little devils.The cavalry's target is big, the snow "clicks", and the ears don't work.The enemy can see and hear, but it is on a hillside with few trees, and it is clear soup forest.The enemy was the first to discover us, and he saw that we were those people.When he saw the "Wooden Tunzi Stack" move, how far was it two miles from the enemy, and turned his horse's head, how would his infantry chase him?Doesn't the detour still go to Fangzheng and Tonghe? Li Yanping ordered to seize the small hill in the south, while the enemy climbed up the northern hill, and the distance between the two sides was only about 300 meters.After fighting for a while, a wave of enemies came up from the east, let alone a small team.Li Yanping ordered to focus on dealing with this enemy.When the enemy advanced to about 100 meters, the machine gunner Da Laoyu swept violently, and a dozen devils immediately fell into the snow, and several of them did not move again. After fighting like this for half an hour, another wave of enemies came up from the west, also in the form of a small group.This time we couldn't fight anymore, so we left one squad to cover, and the rest went downhill to run "horse piles". Cao Shuyan and He Wei were "playing horse stakes" in the grove at the foot of the mountain.When the cavalry dismounts to fight, someone needs to take care of the horse and tie the horse to a tree or other objects.If there is nothing to tie, the reins of this horse are tied around the neck of that horse, usually in a string of five, and one person can see two strings, which is more labor-intensive. The rope of the "horse beating stake" must be tied with a pig's hoof buckle. This kind of buckle becomes tighter as the horse is pulled, and it will be opened as soon as a person pulls it, and the horse can be mounted by turning over. The old man Cao Shuyan said that the enemy's firepower was almost all aimed at our cavalry. The light machine guns "quacked" and the heavy machine guns "clucked".The machine gunner Da Laoyu fell off his horse, with one foot still in the stirrup and his holster on his body, dragging on the snow.There was blood on his chest, his eyes were wide open, he was dying, so I reached out to grab the gun.Machine guns are the treasure of the Anti-Union.The snow was knee-deep, and the snow in spring is also called real. Horses can't run fast, just like people trotting.I pulled down the reins, leaned over to the right, and missed a couple of times. I felt like I had been hit by a stick on my small arm, and I almost fell off the horse.In this battle, more than a dozen people went back, but He Wei was not injured. I was shot in two places on the left leg and right arm.At that time, I was afraid that the horse would be injured. If the horse is fine, people can come back. The horse is the two feet of the cavalry. The old man said, Army Commander Li Yanping was in front of me, only twenty paces away. I didn't know he was wounded in the leg, but I only saw that the iron-blue horse was shot in the neck.I saw one burst of red, another burst of red, and the blood continued to flow from the horse's neck, against the snow, reflecting the sun that just came out of the mountain, that red.The horse did not slow down.It is said that "the horse will not be able to fight immediately", if it is a horse, it will be a bear.The horse is solid, as long as it has breath, it will die according to the owner's will--good horse savior. After Wu Ping visited Jidong, the heyday of the 4th Army began. The Mishan guerrilla team was organized into 2 regiments, the "Little White Dragon Team" was organized into 3 regiments, and the Raohe guerrilla team was later organized into 4 regiments.At the same time, Li Yanlu sent people to Boli, Baoqing, Yilan and other places to contact the mountain forest team, and many leaders expressed their willingness to accept the adaptation.In the autumn of one year later, the 4th Army had grown to 7 regiments and 2 independent brigades, with a strength of more than 1,600 people, and the guerrilla zone expanded to Muling, Linkou, Boli, Baoqing, Yilan, Fangzheng, Hulin, and Raohe and other counties. In June 1935, a Japanese "Xuanfu Class" was stationed at Didao Station on the Link (Kou) Mi (Shan) Line.This is a bunch of political spies. On the night of the 16th, Yang Taihe, the head of the 1st regiment, led a regiment to climb down the steep back hill of Didao, surrounded the station, and suddenly launched an attack.Unfortunately, the "Xuanfu Class" left the first day.In this battle, one Japanese soldier was killed, all the puppet soldiers were captured, and the facilities in the station and some railways were destroyed, causing their transportation to be interrupted for several days. At the beginning of the year, the 2nd Regiment attacked the Fangjiagou puppet cavalry in Boli County, and then the 3rd Regiment attacked the Tuchengzi Puppet Guard Regiment headquarters in Yilan County. When passing through Gefenglou Town on April 27, He Zhongguo, head of the Military Political Department, wrote a letter to the company commander of the garrisoned puppet army.That night, the soldiers divided into three groups, launched an attack, and took the town. In Boli County, there is a Japanese-funded "Qingshui Wood Industry Group" wood farm, and there is also a military horse farm nearby, guarded by a squadron of fake forest police. The 3rd Regiment and the Independent Battalion defeated it in one fell swoop, seized hundreds of army horses, and the houses in the wood field became the camp of the 3rd Regiment. In June, with the assistance of local patriots who were "white on the outside and red on the inside", the 4th Army established a base in Dabaolimi, Fangzheng County. Four months later, the Third Army accidentally killed "Little White Dragon" Su Yanren. Regarding the combat effectiveness of the 3rd regiment adapted from the "Little White Dragon Team", on October 15 of the same year, Hu Ren, director of the Political Department of the 5th Army and head of the eastern dispatch team, commented in a report letter to the Jidong Special Committee: "Sir No assertion, subordinates disobedient to command, soldiers panicked (panicked) and panicked, out of order, no different from a mountain forest team encountering a battle.” What is certain is that Su Yanren's kowtowing brothers are very "fighting" in avenging him.They killed the wounded who were nourished and wounded in Jiulonggou, including Zhang Yiwu, director of the political department of the regiment, and Jin Wanwan, commander of the army guard company, and then led the team to surrender to the enemy.As if they had found a treasure, the Japanese invaders sent these traitors to various places in Jidong to act as spies. The secret system established by the 4th Army in Dabailmi Town was completely destroyed, personnel were arrested, and important figures were killed.The Jidong Special Committee based in Mudanjiang was also sabotaged when Luo Ying, acting director of the political department of the 4th Army, went to report to work, and was recognized by the company commander of the 3rd Regiment's machine gun company surnamed Xuan. It was against this background that Li Yanping acted as the commander of the 4th Army. The first battle of command was fought like that again. In June, Li Yanping's leg injury healed, and the wounded who had been nourished at the 7th Regiment of Boli Qingshan also basically recovered.According to the instructions of the Jidong Special Committee, the Boli County Committee asked the 3rd Army 4th Division and the 5th Army's eastern dispatch team to help the 4th Army nearby, and Jin Ce, the director of the Political Department of the 3rd Army 4th Division, acted as the director of the Political Department of the 4th Army to assist Li Yanping Commanded the 4th Division of the 3rd Army, the Headquarters of the 4th Army, the Guard Company, and the 7th Regiment, and marched east to Baoqing. Departed on June 20 and arrived at Lanhuadingzi, Baoqing County on July 15 to open up guerrilla areas and base areas. Lanhuadingzi belongs to the Wanda Mountains, which is the southern end of the Sanjiang Plain and connects with Fujin in the north.There are many high mountains and valleys here, and there are several or more than ten families in each valley.The side of the mountain is a hilly area, and there are many large villages. Each village has large households and large courtyards, and some have gun towers and raised gunners.There was no anti-Japanese army here in the past, and the local puppet army did not fight any battles, and the common people did not understand the Anti-Japanese Alliance. After research, Li Yanping, Jin Ce, and Hao Guilin decided to publicize the masses first, including convening a meeting of ten parents and a hundred parents to explain what kind of team the Anti-Japanese League is.Wherever the troops go, they should sing more, so that they can not only promote themselves, but also show the difference from the beard at once.Regarding future actions, we should not squat in the valley, but take the initiative to go guerrilla and expand beyond the mountain.As for the rich and big households, we must win them to cooperate in the resistance against Japan. If they resist, then we must use force to resolve it. A few days later, the troops split up and entered several larger villages. Several large households resisted and were quickly subdued.After entering, nothing will be moved, but a fine of 500 to 1,000 yuan per household will be imposed, and it will be announced to the public.Afterwards, the surrounding big households, hundreds of parents, and the head of the Shuangliuhezi Puppet Self-Defense Regiment all came to ask for an interview, saying that the Shangouzi people had never seen the world, were uncivilized, and those who didn’t know were not to blame, and now they all welcome the Anti-Alliance.The puppet army and puppet police huddled in their strongholds and dared not move.The troops went in and out of the compound to collect grain and money, and many young farmers asked to join the army. The situation opened up. Hao Guilin and Jin Ce led the model divisions of the 3rd Army to continue the eastward expedition to Hulin and Raohe, while Li Yanping led the 4th Army to stay in the local area. 1937 was the year of the development of the Northeast Anti-Union Army. The ministries of the four major guerrilla areas frequently attacked and grew stronger, with 11 armies reaching more than 30,000 people.Especially after the July 7th Incident, the puppet army wavered and mutinied, and there was a small climax.The situation is so good that some people describe it as "riding a big horse and visiting Datun", which means that they can carry out activities in public, instead of always hiding in the dark like in the past, hitting and running away. However, "the Fourth Army is weak and has no development." Man Jingtang, the head of the 1st Division, smoked opium, left the team to fool around with women, and contacted the Japanese to pull the team to surrender. After interrogation, he was executed and saved the team. The 2nd Regiment followed the 3rd Army in the winter of 1935, and returned to the 4th Army in the fall of this year. After Wu Mingyue, the head of the 3rd regiment, died in summer, there was no more regiment leader, and the team moved with the 1st regiment. Li Tianzhu, the commander of the 2nd Division, died after attacking Guoqiang Jieji in September, the team lost its core and basically dispersed. The 3rd Division did not disperse, and the division commander Gong Xianting hid in the secret camp to preserve his strength and refused to obey orders or mobilize. Cong Haishan, head of the 9th Regiment of the 4th Division, wanted to kill Pu Deshan, the director of the political department of the division sent by the military, and Cao Shuyan, the chief of the youth section.Teacher Liu Zhenguo said you should go, I cannot guarantee your safety.Soon, Cong Haishan announced that the 9th regiment had left the 4th army, and Liu Zhenguo had also left the team.Only the 10th regiment was left, and the head of the regiment, Tang Qingshan, was killed by the "old team", and the 4th division ceased to exist. How much combat power can the 4th Army like this have? Li Yanping, born in the suburbs of Yanji County in 1903, learned cobbler, driving, and then farming. Joined the National Salvation Army in 1932, served as staff officer, adjutant of the supplementary regiment, and leader of the Suining guerrilla detachment. In the winter of 1933, he was sent by the organization to study at the Oriental University in Moscow, and returned to the Northeast battlefield two years later. In March 1936, he served as the acting commander of the 4th Army, and in November 1937, he served as the commander. The old man Cao Shuyan said that Li Yanping was of medium height, with a gentle disposition, and he was a good person, but he was not very capable.Leading troops to fight must be decisive, assertive, and majestic.At that time, people felt that he was soft, saying that he did not "repress the stubble" (able to calm the scene), and did not have the strength to "sha Leng" (decisive, crisp and neat).Also inexperienced.If you think about it, you have never been a regimental commander before, and if you suddenly put the burden of a military commander on your shoulders, it would be too much for anyone.At that time, I admired the Soviet Union very much. When I heard that he had studied in the Soviet Union for two years, I thought that this person was amazing, and then I thought he was just a student.In the first battle, two regiment political commissars were sacrificed at once, and more than half of them did not come back. He was in pain and lacked self-confidence. The old man said that except for the 2nd regiment of the 4th Army, almost all of them were adapted from the Mountain Forest Team.This kind of team is more complicated. When you are strong, he will follow you, and if you are weak, you will think of yourself.The battle in Qingshan was defeated, and we defeated generals ran to the secret camp of the 7th Regiment Gong Xianting, what a mess.Why didn't Gong Xianting listen to the transfer afterwards? Did he have any idea after seeing it?Pu Deshan and I were sent to the 4th Division to do political work. Someone wanted to kill Pu Deshan and drove us away. If the 4th Army is strong and strong, or the old army commander Li Yanlu is still there, or replaced by Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, and Zhou Baozhong, would they dare to treat us like that? Zhao Shangzhi wished he could command a million troops and go to Tokyo, but Li Yanping thought he couldn't be the commander of the army. Li Yanping said, I am all to blame for my incompetence. I am very sorry for the party for bringing the team into this state. I hope that the leadership will send another army commander. He is sincere, and he has expressed this desire to the Jidong Provincial Party Committee when he said this. On September 29, 1937, the Jidong Provincial Party Committee held a meeting of the Standing Committee in Sidaohezi, Yilan County, and decided to establish the 2nd Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army (the affiliated troops were the 4th Army, 5th Army, 7th Army, 8th Army, and 10th Army and Wang Yinwu's Salvation Army, Yao Zhenshan's Volunteer Army), and Zhou Baozhong was elected as the commander-in-chief of the 2nd Route Army. According to the resolution of the Provincial Party Committee, after the meeting Zhou Baozhong began to rectify the various armies, first of all the 4th Army. In late November, Zhou Baozhong and Bao Lin, secretary of the Boli County Party Committee, came to the secret camp of the 4th Army in Dazizigou, Baoqing County, and agreed with Li Yanping to reorganize the 4th Army into two divisions. Zhang Xiangwu, the commander of the 1st Division, and Huang Yuqing, the director of the Political Department of the Army, concurrently served as the director of the Political Department. Gong Xianting, the commander of the 2nd Division, became Wang Yufeng one month later.Each division formed 3 regiments, but actually 1 division only formed 2 regiments. Some people advocated the replacement of Li Yanping, but Zhou Baozhong did not do so. Instead, he brought Wang Guangyu, a deputy commander and former commander of the 2nd Division of the 5th Army, to him.Practice has proved that this is far-sighted, a wise move that not only focuses on the development and future of the 4th Army, but also takes into account all aspects.In a sense, only Zhou Baozhong could handle it so satisfactorily and safely in the Jidong Party at that time. 东征宝清前，因黄玉清要带1团继续在勃利活动，李延平几次给勃利县委写信，要求金策到4军代理政治部主任。在宝清，无论哪个军的部队来了，李延平都高兴，感到信心、力量，与之共同作战。无论能力如何，他都是个识大体、顾大局，有抗日救国的决心和献身精神的人。如今，有个精明能干的副军长，师团领导也大都换了，上上下下都有股子向上的劲头，他那心劲儿自然也不一样了。 4军又活跃起来。
