Chapter 56 Chapter 55 Who Wants Zhao Shangzhi to Disappear?

From commander-in-chief to army commanders and soldiers, the Soviet army treated all those who "passed the Soviet Union" equally and disarmed and reviewed them.I don't know if Zhao Shangzhi, who crossed the boundary for the first time, and his accompanying adjutant Wu and messengers Guo Lu, Wang Mingfa, and Xiao Lu knew this.Zhao Shangzhi, who worked as a handyman in the Belarusian family when he was a boy, knew a few words of Russian, and said that I was invited by your Marshal Brucher to come over to study and cooperate with the Soviet Red Army to fight against Japan. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the border guards did not know about this matter. The problem is that the Soviet Union has always denied this matter.

That night, he was locked up in a nearby village and sent to the detention center of the Khabarovsk Far Eastern Army Internal Affairs Department the next day. Zhao Shangzhi was detained in Khabarovsk for 16 months and disappeared from the Northeast battlefield for nearly a year and a half. If it wasn't for the fight on Nuomenhan's side, it might have been locked for a long time. The essence of the whole problem lies in the fact that this incident was a conspiracy from the very beginning: Zhao Shangzhi was plotted against. Who plotted against Zhao Shangzhi? There is no doubt that the Soviets will soon find out Zhao Shangzhi's identity.

Soon it was because Zhao Shangzhi was too eye-catching and his image characteristics were more prominent, but he had to be cautious about such a person, so it took a month.At this moment, Dai Hongbin and his team crossed the boundary and were also sent here. A few days later, Qi Zhizhong came again.Qi Zhizhong crossed the border from Fuyuan in December 1937, hoping that the Soviet Union would help solve the problem of gunpowder in the Qixinglazi Arsenal.Dai Hongbin brought over 500 people, including Cai Jinkui, the commander of the 1st Division of the 3rd Army, and Li Zhenyuan, the commander of the 9th Division. As mentioned earlier, they were all sent to Xinjiang.

The Soviets seem to only want the army commander at this time. After the defeat of the Volunteer Army, batch after batch "crossed the Soviet Union".I don’t know how many spies Japan has in the Soviet Union, especially in the Far East, including the plight of more than 500 people from the 3rd Army and 6th Army.The Soviet Union quietly left Zhao Shangzhi and others, not only covering themselves, but also having a card in their hands, which can let the tiger go back to the mountain at any time.Even if the Japanese knew that Zhao Shangzhi and others did not go to Xinjiang, it would take quite some time and they could be dealt with randomly.

This opens up another way of playing the same card.The Japanese and the puppet requested the extradition of the Volunteer Army, so they did not request the extradition of the Anti-Japanese War?The Anti-Union Alliance is the confidant of "Manchukuo", so it naturally became a bargaining chip in the hands of the Soviet Union. In the diplomacy with the Soviet Union, can the arrogant Japan not put forward any conditions?And for the sake of the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty", will the Soviet Union have any tacit understanding with each other?What if a situation arises on the East-West front where extradition is imperative, for the benefit of the Soviet Union?

But this is just a conjecture, and the reason why it is untenable is not only the known results that will be written in the next chapter, but also the fact that Zhou Baozhong also crossed the boundary from Raohe about half a month after Zhao Shangzhi crossed the boundary. , stayed in Beacon for a month and came back. Before and after that, people from the Anti-Japanese League continued to cross the border, and Li Huatang also crossed the border.If Li Huatang is also detained, then the four commanders of the Northern Manchurian coalition army will be wiped out in one go. If the Soviet Union wanted to destroy the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it should be said that it was very easy.For example, if an order was issued like the second Khabarovsk meeting, the leaders of the various armies and road armies who are suffering from losing contact with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, can they not implement, obey, and respond to the instructions, orders, and calls of the "class motherland"?That was really a sweep, and it also played all the cards in his hand. This is not in the national interest of the Soviet Union.

If the Soviet Union intentionally detains Zhao Shangzhi, there are many ways to do it. Does it have to send a "message" of "invitation"? The actual situation is that the arrival of Zhao Shangzhi created a problem for the Soviet Union, which did not want to provoke and offend Japan. It felt like holding a hot potato in its hand? Zhao Shangzhi crossed the border just in time for the Soviet Union's purge of counter-revolutionaries. More than a month before that, he had written a letter to the commander of the Far East Red Banner Army, Brucher, who was the target of the purge of counter-revolutionaries.Brucher is Galen, the Soviet advisor of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Zhao Shangzhi is a student of the fourth phase of Whampoa.Because of this relationship, some people think that he was detained because he was implicated.What about Dai Hongbin and Qi Zhizhong?Moreover, in Zhao Shangzhi's letter to Bruce, there is no content or meaning beyond the relationship between the two parties and the two armies.In the documents and materials known since then, there are no words related to Zhao Shangzhi and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhao Shangzhi was plotted against, and someone must have hoped that he would end up in this situation. It was the Soviet Union that made Zhao Shangzhi disappear from the Northeast battlefield for nearly a year and a half, causing major damage, and even a series of damage to the Allied Forces.However, from the Volunteer Army to the Anti-Japanese War, looking at the 14-year Anti-Japanese War, it should be said that it is only an example. Some old people lamented: Zhao Shangzhi, even a hailstone from the sky can hit his head. On January 20, 1940, "Zhao Shangzhi's Letter to Guan Niefu (Konev—the author) and the Party Committee of the Far East Frontier—On the Chen Shaobin Issue" stated:

I hope to understand and understand that from the time I came to the Soviet Union in 1938 to April 1939, I asked many times about the questions conveyed by Chen Shaobin. (There is an officer with a green card with one star, an officer with a pink card with three stars, and a comrade in plain clothes, all of whom are by his side.) The Minister of the Interior with three stars answered my question from Chen Shaobin and said: I went back to punish him. Later, when Dai Hongbin and Qi Zhizhong went to meet with the representative of Comrade Commander, I also replied to us that Ling would examine him after he returned. Of course, no one gave me written evidence these two times (if there is no such instruction, Comrade Chief can punish me, and I think there is such an instruction), but I once believed that according to this instruction, Chen Shaobin was sabotaging the Northeast Revolution, and the reason why he dared to continue to come to the Soviet Union was definitely not because he made rumors alone, but because he was in the Soviet Union. There are elements who conspire with him, and there are also in the Northeast.

When the Soviet Union categorically denied the "invitation", let alone Zhao Shangzhi, even the children's first reaction was: What happened to the person who sent this "message"? Many old people have talked about Chen Shaobin. Chen Shaobin, born in Sanjitun, Yongji County, Jilin Province in 1890, was the captain of the guard of Tongyuan Timber Company in Tangyuan County during the "September 18th" incident. In February 1936, he led a company to attack the forest police and logging office of the upper reaches of the Tangwang River Group, captured 5 devils, seized 1 machine gun, 43 rifles, 3,500 rounds of bullets, and a large amount of grain, cotton clothes, cattle and horses, etc. In February 1937, under the order of Xia Yunjie, he sneaked into Tangyuan City, worked as a puppet army, a puppet policeman, and a puppet county magistrate, collected intelligence, and cooperated with the army to attack Tangyuan City on May 18. In March, anti-Japanese associations and offices were organized in 7 villages in the Tangwanghe ××× area to mobilize the masses to carry out anti-Japanese activities.

The above situation is derived from "Sanjiang Provincial Police Chief's Arrest and Interrogation of Chen Shaobin (Chen Shaobin), the Political Director of the Sixth Army of the Anti-Japanese United Army" (the local Police Commissioner's report), the first paragraph of which is "(Please refer to Kant's four years Issued No. 504 by the Special High Commissioner of the Three Police States on August 18), in which there is also a confession about the establishment and equipment status of the Army and its relationship with the Soviet Union. If this information is credible, then Chen Shaobin started working for the devils at this time. Chen Shaobin was arrested in August and appeared in the Anti-Japanese Army in September. He still "crossed the Soviet Union". Some people said that he came and went as if he was walking on a flat road.The reason is said to be that a Soviet man named Ivan was rescued before.There was indeed such a person, who was written as "ten thousand" in the documents of the year, and the enemy and puppet files said that he was a "red Russian".Who is this person, what is his mission in China, and how Chen Shaobin rescued him is unknown.Just like some old men in other military forces mentioned that they had seen Soviets, it was quite mysterious anyway.However, there should be no doubt that the Soviet Union had great trust in Chen Shaobin.His status as "Sixth Army Special Traffic" seems to be related to this. After Chen Shaobin was captured, since there were other confessions, could there be no confessions about Ivan and "special traffic"?The Japanese devils who have been fighting the intelligence war with the Soviet Union will of course be more interested in this, and even overjoyed. After the Khabarovsk Conference, the Soviet Union provided shelter for the Anti-Union.The Sino-Soviet border, which stretches thousands of kilometers, facilitates the intelligence warfare between Japan and the Soviet Union.According to Russian historian Yevgeny Gorblov's "The Inside Story of the Soviet Union's Aid to the Anti-Japanese Guerrillas in Northeast China", in addition to using White Russia in exile in the Northeast to sneak into the Soviet Union after training, the Japanese invaders sent fake underground parties And the anti-union personnel, after receiving military and political training in the Soviet Union, were sent back to the Northeast Party and the anti-union to take leadership positions.And people like Chen Shaobin who "passed the Soviet Union" like walking on a flat road can take it and use it, isn't it just a wish? Some people think that Chen Shaobin is a double agent, a double agent. In his letter to Konev, Zhao Shangzhi unceremoniously pointed out that the Soviet Union also had Chen Shaobin's accomplices.The Ministry of Internal Affairs asked Zhao Shangzhi to punish him and examine him. It may be prevarication, or it may be to put a question mark on the person who sent the "message", so that Zhao Shangzhi can figure out what is going on with this person. Some people say that if Chen Shaobin is a Japanese spy, then the "message" comes from the devils.If he didn't have contact with the devil, did he make it up, or did he conspire with others?Who is this guy?What are they going to do?What else to do? But this is just speculation, conjecture, and it is a speculation and conjecture based on that "if". In late February 1938, Zhou Baozhong returned from the Soviet Union and was intercepted by the enemy in a place called Huangshang on his way to the headquarters of the 2nd Route Army and the 5th Army in Lanbangshan, Baoqing.In the fierce battle, Zhou Baozhong was defeated.Some works wrote: A big enemy came aggressively to grab Zhou Baozhong's clothes. Zhou Baozhong looked back anxiously, and saw that it was the traitor (Chen Shaobin, former commander of the 1st Division of the Sixth Army) who had just shouted "Zhou Baozhong is behind".At this time Zhou Baozhong was about to explode with anger, and cursed tremblingly with hatred: "You despicable bastard! You betrayed the revolution, and now you want to get a bounty from the Japanese invaders and are desperately trying to catch me." Zhou Baozhong agreed with this guy. Two shots were fired in the chest with "boom, boom", and the traitor plopped down on the snow and died. So far, this person has been characterized.But the latter sentence is obviously inaccurate, because in April 1940, Chen Shaobin was still the leader of the 9th Detachment of the 3rd Route Army-this is confusing again.Moreover, it is said that Chen Shaobin is not tall, with two beards. On June 22, 1938, in the "Letter from Song Yifu and Zhou Baozhong of the Jidong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Seventh Army Party Committee and the Xiajiang Special Committee", when talking about Huangshang's distress, he said: Reasons for the accident: First, Chen Shaobin leaked information about the pre-determined action.Second, Liu Hailong of the Seventh Army is suspected of being a spy. It was determined that Chen Shaobin was objectively acting as a spy.In addition to leaking news about the planned operation with Comrade Baozhong, when Chen Shaobin went to Dongdong to Dongdong, he met the head of the independent division Han in the fifth district of Fujin who was negotiating to surrender. In terms of relationship, the traitor Han Tuanzhang surrendered to the Japanese bandits smoothly and unimpededly.In April of this year, the Seventh Army, the Third Division, and the Seventh Regiment marched westward. Chen Shaobin was entrusted by the Seventh Army's headquarters to guide and provide assistance for the Seventh Army's westward march. It should be responsible for causing all the Seventh Regiment to advance westward blindly, which is one of the reasons for the serious loss of Xiangyanggou.Chen Shaobin served as the special transportation of the Sixth Army to send anti-aircraft heavy aircraft to XXX. When he went, he set off from Fujin to Raohe. He did not keep secrets and publicized it along the way. Special attention should be paid to the basic guerrilla zone of the army.The Jidong Provincial Party Committee put forward requirements to the comrades in charge of the Xiangjiang Party and the Seventh Army Party: 1. Thoroughly investigate and punish Liu Hailong and other spies; Seriously monitor his future actions, and immediately punish him if there is any doubt or obvious obstacle.On this point, Shangjiang has notified all relevant parties. There is a "message" over there, tricking Zhao Shangzhi to go to the Soviet Union, and then attacking Zhou Baozhong here, isn't it like this?If both Zhao Shangzhi and Zhou Baozhong disappeared, what would happen to the War of Resistance in Beiman and Jidong? Although "Shangjiang has notified all relevant parties", under the actual environment and conditions at that time, it was difficult for Jidong, not to mention Beiman, to notify every army and every local party organization.Even if it is notified, some may be half a year, a year later, or even longer.But Zhao Shangzhi has no way of examining him and punishing him-leave it for later. What Beiman discovered was another problem. On January 27, 1940, "Zhang Shouzhen's Letter to Comrades Jin Ce and Li Jingyin" said: Comrade Chen Shaobin, he did not clearly understand his mistakes. He simply showed his full "skills" of feudal heroes and veterans. After he arrived in the north, he continued to make mistakes that were not allowed in concept. The instructions of the Ministry said: "The commander taught the first and third divisions to merge and mix them together", and also said, "The commander explained to your comrade that if he serves as the division commander, I will serve as the chief of staff. Otherwise, I will serve as the division commander and you will serve as the chief of staff. The commander taught us to discuss ". Sending "messages" and pretending to pass "instructions", this "wrist" of feudal heroes and veterans is quite skilled. On December 29 of the same year, the "Report of the Standing Committee of the Northern Manchuria Province of the Communist Party of China" stated: Comrades Chen Shaobin and Yang Hongzhi escaped from the revolution in July and August this year, and the Northern Provincial Party Committee decided to expel them from the party. Previously, on August 30, in the "Work Report from Zhang Shouzhen to Wang Xinlin", it was stated that "he is now wanted by the headquarters". Chen Shaobin, who fled alone, was killed by the enemy. Some people think that the enemy may have killed him by mistake, because only the secret service knew his true identity, and few people knew it.It is more likely to kill people to silence them, for fear that he will confess something, which is too important to the Japanese devils. Just speculation. Who wants Zhao Shangzhi to disappear?Of course it is the Japanese devils, this question is too simple.From oral to paper, Zhao Shangzhi has disappeared several times from the enemy.Since it is difficult to achieve the goal on the battlefield with real swords and guns, the fake hands are inside the anti-Japanese camp.The devils have already tasted the sweetness, and they have repeatedly hit the Anti-Union by trapping traitors. After ruling out the possibility of the Soviet Union, we can only look for spies in the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Undoubtedly, the person who brought the "message" should be the first object of suspicion and the person most likely to tell the truth.However, the death of Chen Shaobin made the first link of following the clues fall off the chain. Regarding Chen Shaobin, I will write about it later, but it is just a suspicion. During the interview with the author, an old man said that he heard that someone erected a monument to Chen Shaobin in Hailun. Looking at it this way, Chen Shaobin's escape and expulsion from the party should not be a problem. The anti-Japanese struggle was too cruel, the problems were too complicated, there were too few survivors, and there were few remaining materials, some of which were not reliable. In addition, the enemy was messing up the water back then, so there were too many unsolved mysteries. After Li Xiangshan, who had never been a subjugated slave for a day, was killed by the enemy, the insidious devils poured sewage on him, saying that he had rebelled after being captured, and arrested 25 people according to his confession. First of all, Zhou Baozhong can be excluded. The misunderstandings and differences between Beiman and Jidong caused by the abolition of the Manchuria Provincial Committee and the "Jite Letter" and "Zhongdai Letter" were not eliminated by the enlarged meeting of the Executive Committee of the Beiman Provisional Provincial Committee. From Zhou Baozhong's point of view, Zhao Shangzhi was undoubtedly opposing the "central line" and hindering the unification of the North Manchurian Party, the Jidong Party and the Xiajiang armies.It is impossible to change Zhao Shangzhi's point of view, at least relying on these people in the Northeast Party, it is impossible in a short period of time.So what to do?A simple and reasonable solution is to let Zhao Shangzhi disappear in the Northeast, go to the Soviet Union to stay, and let the central delegation solve this problem? The fact is just the opposite - as has been said before. Even after Zhao Shangzhi was expelled from the party for the last time, Zhou Baozhong wrote to relevant parties again and again, arguing that Zhao Shangzhi had revolutionary determination, this should not be the final decision, and hoped that the North Manchurian Provincial Party Committee could re-examine Zhao Shangzhi's party membership. Contrary to Zhou Baozhong's special request for Zhao Shangzhi to return to China to fight against Japan, the Northern Manchurian Provisional Provincial Committee's report to the Central Committee on May 10, 1938 stated clearly: "We don't think he needs to come back, and it will be a loss to his work."—— I also said it before. A series of questions came to my face: how could this be the case, and who wrote this report?Has it been studied and discussed collectively?Who is it that advocates such and such? First of all, it is doubtful that it should be the person who published the "opinion letter" whose name has been withheld by the author. Just like the Soviet side categorically denied the "invitation", people would immediately think of Chen Shaobin who sent a "message". How could Zhao Shangzhi come with a "submission" after he had been away for a month?Is it a coincidence, or premeditated? The author can't help but feel pain and uneasiness when I say this, but I must try my best to explain clearly.Because even if I don't say it, the reader will think so. Like Zhou Baozhong, ××× could not but worry about the differences and even splits within the North Manchurian Party and with the Jidong Party.And after confirming the origin of "Jite letter" and "Zhongdai letter", Zhao Shangzhi's opposition to the "central line" is even more intolerable.In fact, this is also the choice of most people later.Because no one can bear the responsibility of opposing the "central line", Communist Party members must remain consistent with the central government.Regardless of whether ××× has any personal grievances with Zhao Shangzhi or how many personal grievances, he always thinks and acts from the overall standpoint of the North Manchurian Party and even the Jidong Party.Like Zhao Shangzhi, he is a person with strong party spirit and strong personality.Just as some works say, "his heart is very likely to be full of strong party spirit, great courage, sense of mission and pride." Zhou Baozhong learned that Wang Ming and Kang Sheng had returned to China in Beacon in the Soviet Union. He should be the first member of the Anti-Japanese War to get the news. The "opinion letter" was published a few months after Zhou Baozhong returned.That is to say, it should take quite some time for this news to reach North Manchuria.From Liu Haitao to Zhu Xinyang, it seems commonplace that the people sent by Beiman to the Soviet Union disappeared without a trace. ××× watched the North Manchurian Party follow Zhao Shangzhi's anti-"Central Line" and he didn't want Zhao Shangzhi to go on like this.The central delegation will help and educate Zhao Shangzhi, which is a kind of protection and love for him.Otherwise, this person who hit the south wall without looking back will be in bad luck sooner or later. ××× should be among those who do not want Zhao Shangzhi to return to the country, because it will take time for the ideological unity of the Northern Manchurian Party. At this time, Zhao Shangzhi's return may be another earthquake.After this side has returned to the "central route", and Zhao Shangzhi over there has been almost reformed by the central representative, he will come back and work together to fight the devils. No one can walk into history—but is it possible to approach history in this way? Feng Zhongyun, who was dismissed as Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee at the enlarged meeting of the Provincial Executive Committee, was removed from the post of Minister of Propaganda of the Provincial Party Committee because of his ineffective "opinion letter", and was later suspected by Zhao Shangzhi of being a "spies".And no matter how much he said and left in black and white about "anti-tendencies", the reader already knows that he should be excluded. There is also Zhang Lansheng, the temporary secretary of the provincial party committee.He has always been a supporter of ××× and "opinions".As mentioned earlier, at the Seventh Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, where Feng Zhongyun was relieved of his position as Minister of Propaganda, he made a rare long report on the Northeast Party and the Anti-Japanese Federation, saying that "Comrade Shang Zhi is indeed the main person in charge of the anti-Party left-leaning closed-doorism line." ".However, there is not only no evidence to say that he was the one who assassinated Zhao Shangzhi, but also he is not the kind of powerful figure who can control the situation in the North Manchurian Party and the coalition forces. When we can only exclude one by one among these important people, is there someone who was already there secretly laughing out loud? Some old people said that there were some people who were killed by mistake, and were they released by mistake?Has anyone pretended to be a good person from the beginning and sneaked into the party and the anti-union team?At that time, not to mention the three generations of ancestors, even if he disappeared yesterday and came back today, you can't find out what he did.The local relationship is gone, and even meals have to be called, where and how can you check?This is how many strange things in the Anti-Japanese League came about.This is impossible.When Japan surrendered, it desperately destroyed files and documents. It was to destroy evidence of war crimes, but also to preserve its strength and protect those hidden spies and spies.At that time, the little devil was unconvinced and said that he would come back in 20 years. Some old people said: If this matter can be figured out one day, it might surprise people.
