Chapter 22 Section 1 "Cyclops" trapped in Wuhua Mountain

Yunnan, a corner of the southwest, has attracted the attention of the Chinese people and the world since the rise of the Anti-Japanese War.Because of this historical opportunity and turmoil, Yunnan Province, especially Kunming, the provincial capital, has experienced many unexpected events in the history of the Anti-Japanese War intertwined with blood and fire, and all of these are inextricably linked with those in power in Yunnan. . On May 23, 1927, Tang Jiyao, an old-school warlord known as the "Pillar of the South", died of vomiting blood, and then another powerful warlord, Long Yun (Zhizhou), took control of Yunnan. It has been nearly 20 years since the victory of the Anti-Japanese War Li, Yunnan Province, located in the southwestern border, has always been in the hands of Long Yun, who is known as the "King of Yunnan".Because Long Yun was not an iron buddy or direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek, the Yunnan provincial government and the central government actually controlled by Chiang had constant conflicts in many aspects.After the July 7th Incident, in view of the upsurge of the national anti-Japanese war and the national crisis and family worries, both Long and Jiang temporarily maintained restraint and tolerance. Long Yun generally maintained the authority and dignity of the Nationalist Government, and Chiang Kai-shek also pushed the boat with the tide and put on a friendly gesture. For Long Yun, the two live in peace for the time being.With the progress of the Anti-Japanese War, the entire eastern coastal land of China was lost, and Yunnan, located in the southwestern border, gradually became an important base for Chiang Kai-shek to receive military aid from the United States and an international transportation hub. The cow got up.At that time, Long Yun, the Director of the Military Commission’s Yunnan Camp and the Chairman of Yunnan Province, held his head high and held his chest high. He no longer listened to Chiang Kai-shek’s mercy, and began to rely on the favorable timing and location to make his own claims in military and political aspects. He often opposed Chiang. The rift opened again, and the contradiction became deeper and deeper.What Chiang Kai-shek couldn't tolerate the most was that when Hong Kong fell to the Japanese in 1942, Long Yun received a large number of "left-leaning" activists who had withdrawn from Hong Kong Island, turning Yunnan into a shelter and stronghold for pro-communist elements with alternative thinking styles, leading to "Kunming Became a Hotbed of Communism".At this historical turning point, Luo Longji, who was extremely disgusted by the Kuomintang and often incited a small number of people who didn't know the truth to create mass incidents, and others turned into Long Yun's guests, and began to point fingers in Kunming, swaggering around, inciting public will, and making trouble secretly stand up.The colleges and universities that moved to Kunming during the Anti-Japanese War naturally became the main targets and contact points for the infiltration of alternative advocates.Due to the instigation and connection of unconventional people, a large number of young teachers and students also began to tend to be "alternative". From the political stance of supporting Chiang Kai-shek and anti-communism, they gradually changed to the direction of uniting the Communist Party of resistance and supporting the democratic movement, so that the fashion of "fortress of democracy" appeared in Kunming. title.

After the Pearl Harbor Incident, because of Chen Yinke's missing whereabouts, and hearing about the evil deeds of the Kong family, young and old, who carried foreign dogs, a student wave of "Down with Flying Dog Dean Kong Xiangxi" erupted.At first, facing the angry parade, Mei Yiqi could neither stop nor support her. Anxiously, she called Long Yun to explain the situation, hoping to get the other party's understanding and not to send military police to clash with the students.When Long Yun heard that it was an anti-Confucian and anti-Confucian movement, instead of blaming it, he gloated and said rather encouragingly: "The student parade is a patriotic action. Just don't disturb the social order. If you don't worry, I can send a military police commander." You and the Chief of Police will follow behind your team, just in case." Only in this way was the miracle that Lianlian students boldly marched and shouted in the street without being stopped by a soldier or a policeman.To Long Yun's surprise, the secret words he and Mei Yiqi spoke on the phone were later brought to Chongqing by Jiang Menglin and passed to Chiang Kai-shek's ears.Jiang Da was furious, and after scolding "Niang Xipi", the resentment towards Long Yun intensified in his heart.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek prepared to launch a civil war, intending to eradicate the Communist Party and the government of the Yan'an border region in one fell swoop. If he used troops against Yan'an, he must strictly prevent the backyard from burning. Before that, we should first cut off this "tumor" that hinders the unification of the party-state military orders and government orders. As early as August 1942, Du Yuming led the remnants of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Army back to China. Chiang Kai-shek not only failed to hold Du's fiasco accountable, but promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army and the Kunming garrison. The army, commanded by Du's subordinate Qiu Qingquan, jointly defended the "fortress" of Kunming, and at the same time secretly prepared to cut off Long Yun, the sarcoma that had grown on the party-state.

On August 10, 1945, on the night when Japan issued a begging note to China, the United States, and Britain, Chiang Kai-shek urgently summoned Du Yuming to give an opportunity in person: "Go back and make preparations for solving Long Yun, and wait for the Japanese invaders to surrender. After the matter is dealt with, wait for the order to implement it.” At the same time, he urged Du not only to make military preparations, but also to make careful arrangements for Yunnan’s communications, transportation, and various airports to prevent Long Yun from escaping.Du Yuming actively prepared according to Jiang's instructions.

At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, when Japan decided to surrender, the strategic counter-offensive of the Chinese army on the Far East Front began to emerge.On the Guangxi side, only the line from the whole county to the Huangsha River was recovered; on the Jiangxi side, the national army was mobilizing troops to pursue the retreating enemy in the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River, and the Japanese army had just retreated to the Fengcheng line.Therefore, on the occasion of victory, dealing with the surrender of the enemy and receiving all personnel and materials in the occupied areas has become the most urgent and top priority of the Chongqing Nationalist Government.In order to prevent the Chinese Communist Army from taking the opportunity to incorporate the enemy and puppet troops and confiscate their weapons and equipment. On the evening of the 10th, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech through the Central Radio Station, ordering the underground army and the puppet army in the occupied areas to wait for orders, and allowing the puppet army to take the opportunity of redemption and not to accept any army that was not approved by Chiang Kai-shek himself.

Just as the soldiers and civilians in Chongqing set off firecrackers and drank and composed poems to celebrate the Japanese surrender, Yan'an learned the news through radio waves.At this moment of major historical turning point that determined the fate of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party and China, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others determined new political and military goals at the fastest speed.That night, Zhu De issued an order in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Eighteenth Army of the National Army: Japan has announced its unconditional surrender, and the Allies will discuss ways to accept the surrender on the basis of the Potsdam Declaration.Therefore, I hereby issue the following order to all armed forces in the Liberated Areas:

1. Any anti-Japanese armed forces in the liberated areas may, in accordance with the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration, send an ultimatum to the enemy troops and their commanding agencies on the main roads of communication in nearby cities and towns, restricting them to surrender all their armed forces to our combat troops within a certain period of time. , our army shall protect the safety of life in accordance with the regulations on preferential treatment of prisoners. 2. Any anti-Japanese armed forces in the Liberated Areas may send an ultimatum to all the puppet troops and puppet regimes in the vicinity, restricting them to lead their troops to fight back and wait for deployment before the surrender and signature of the enemy aggressors.

3. All the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Liberated Areas should be resolutely eliminated if they refuse to surrender and disarm the enemy's puppet armed forces. 4. Our army has the full authority to send troops to take over any main traffic roads in cities and towns occupied by the enemy and puppets, enter and occupy them, implement military control, maintain order, and appoint commissioners to manage all administrative matters in the area. If there is any sabotage or resistance incident , must be considered a traitor. On August 11, the Yan'an headquarters of the Eighteenth Army issued six orders in succession, ordering the armed forces led by He Long in the Jinsui Liberated Area, the armed forces led by Nie Rongzhen in the Jinchaji Liberated Area, and the armed forces in the Jireliao Liberated Area to march to Inner Mongolia and the northeast; Order the armed forces in the liberated areas of Shanxi to clean up the Japanese and puppet troops along the Tongpu Road and the Fen River Basin; order the armed forces in the liberated areas to launch active attacks on all enemy-occupied traffic arteries to force the Japanese and puppet troops to surrender.Armed forces from all over the country were ordered to act quickly.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was squatting in his official residence in Chongqing, saw that Mao Zedong, Zhu De and others had launched a full-scale reception operation against the enemy and puppet troops. In his anger, he quickly issued three orders that day: 1. Order the Kuomintang troops to "intensify their combat efforts and follow the established military plans and orders." Proactively advance, do not slack off"; 2. Order the puppet troops in the occupied areas to "be responsible for maintaining local law and order based on their current residence", "take the opportunity to atone for their sins", and "not accept any reorganization of troops" without Chiang Kai-shek's permission; 3. Order the anti-Japanese troops in the liberated areas "Stay where you are and stand by", and you must not "act without authorization" against the Japanese and puppet troops.

On August 13, it was drafted by Mao Zedong, and he called Chiang Kai-shek in the name of the Eighteenth Group Army Command, saying: "You made a mistake in the order on the 11th, and it was so bad that we have to express to you: resolutely Reject this order. Because the order you gave us is not only unreasonable, but also contrary to the national interests of the Chinese nation, and only beneficial to the Japanese invaders and traitors who betrayed the motherland." "The Communist Party issued an order to recruit the puppet army. This is what we expected." This is the emotion expressed by Tang Zong, a senior adviser in Chiang Kai-shek's attendant room, in his diary on August 12.As Tang's master Chiang Kai-shek, he should have expected the CCP's attitude of resistance, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, and regardless of the dignity of the leader of his own country, he brazenly shouted.In a fit of rage, Chiang Kai-shek and his advisers quickly negotiated countermeasures and decided to call Yan'an Mao Zedong to invite him to Chongqing to discuss state affairs. He said: "The surrender of the Japanese pirates and the permanent peace of the world can be expected. All important international and domestic issues need to be resolved urgently , I would like to invite you to come to the capital to discuss together, it is related to the country's major interests, fortunately, please do not begrudge me, I am eagerly looking forward to it."

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek appointed the Kuomintang military and political officials to come up with a demobilization plan within a week, and sent personnel to the major cities in the rear to take over power and property as quickly as possible.Secretly ordered the Kuomintang troops to assemble in central and northern China, and rushed to Nanjing, Shanghai, Beiping, Tianjin and other major cities and strategic locations to accept the surrender of the Japanese army and disarm the Japanese prisoners, and tried to prevent the CCP army from interfering in the surrender of the Japanese army. On August 15, after Chiang Kai-shek delivered a victory speech on the Central Radio Station, he called Neiji Okamura, the supreme commander of the Japanese invasion of China in Nanjing, instructing the six principles of surrender, ordering the Japanese army to stop resisting and sending people to Yushan to accept General He Yingqin. Commander's order. On August 16, Zhu De called Chiang Kai-shek and put forward the CCP's six propositions to stop the civil war. He once again expressed his firm opposition to Chiang Kai-shek's absolutely wrong order and continued to order his troops to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. On August 17, the Allied High Command issued Order No. 1, stating: "The Japanese senior commanders in Taiwan and French Indochina north of 16 degrees north latitude, as well as all land, sea, air and auxiliary forces, should surrender to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. .” But the Chinese Communist Army’s attack on the Japanese and puppet troops has not stopped. Chiang Kai-shek's military and political officials were completely at a loss for the CCP's tough posture, and they didn't know how to deal with it.According to Tang Zong's record on August 18: "Okamura called and sent his deputy chief of staff Takeo Imai as the representative of the surrender, and said that our army attacked the Japanese army in Bengbu, Wuhu and other places, requesting to stop it. The so-called attack on the Japanese army is the Communist Party. troops." In his diary that day, Tang Zong listed the four most urgent "important tasks" of the Kuomintang in the section "Last Week's Reflections": 1. The last trial of the enemy.It has been eight years since the enemy chanted that China and Japan are one, and that Greater East Asia has been co-prosperous, and now they have surrendered because of necessity... 2. The final test of our country.It is the first time in the history of our country that the enemy surrendered on a large scale. Not only is the experience of surrendering rare, but the difficulties encountered have been raised again.If the matter of surrendering this time is not handled well, it will affect the future international status and the country's chances of prosperity and chaos.The CCP took advantage of this point to rebel against the government. He knew that the government was wary of rats, so he dared to do nothing. If the problem was handled well, the problem of the KMT and the CCP could be solved from now on. Third, the failure of the propaganda policy.Zhu De was extremely arrogant in this incident of the enemy's surrender. He issued orders indiscriminately, resisted the headquarters, and sent out ridiculous telegrams without permission. The Propaganda Department had nothing to do about it. Ask the president.For such a trivial matter, why do you need to ask the president for instructions and set up a department? Yu Cheng doesn't understand. 4....In the midst of the quarrel between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which was at loggerheads and stalemate, the incident of China's victory in the War of Resistance and surrender began under the eyes of the military and civilians of the whole country and the whole world. On August 20, He Yingqin, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, arrived in Zhijiang, Hunan Province to accept the surrender—the surrender work of the entire Chinese theater started here, and then began nationwide.This time when Zhijiang was surrendered, the senior generals of the national army, in line with Chiang Kai-shek's spirit of "repaying grievances with virtue", "being kind to others" and "don't attempt to retaliate", were polite to the already frightened and dejected Japanese kid, and showed a kind of graceful and elegant "benevolence and righteousness". Teacher" demeanor.Takeo Imai, the deputy chief of staff of Takeo Imai, the chief representative of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese China Expeditionary Force Okamura Neiji, who was sent to Zhijiang to negotiate the acceptance of the surrender, and a group of 8 people were deeply shocked by the generous and decent etiquette shown by the Chinese government.Later, Takeo Imai recalled: "I am deeply grateful for the nostalgic attitude of the Chinese soldiers towards the envoys of the defeated army. At the same time, I deeply understand that there is a hidden reason for Japan's defeat." Just when the Chinese army was in full swing to accept the surrender in the area designated by the Allied Forces, Chiang Kai-shek, in the tense and busy schedule, still did not forget the confidant of Long Yun, who was hiding in the southwestern city of Kunming. The 60th Army and the 93rd Army were organized into the first front army, led by Lu Han (word Yongheng), the number two figure in the local forces in Yunnan, and the general of the Yunnan Army, and drove to Vietnam to accept the surrender.At the same time, on the grounds of insufficient military strength, Long Shengwu (Southern Note: Long Yun's eldest son) of the 19th Division stationed in Kunming and Pan Shuoduan of the 23rd Division were temporarily transferred to Vietnam to accept the surrender with Lu Han.Along with Lu Han, the Huang Tao Department of the 62nd Army of Guangdong, the Zhao Gongwu Department of the 52nd Army of the Kuomintang Central Army, the Zhou Fucheng Department of the 53rd Army, and the Lu Guoquan Department of the 93rd Division also went to Vietnam with Lu Han to accept the surrender. And the Department of Dai Jian of the Honorary First Division, with a total strength of five armies and four independent divisions, totaling about 200,000 people.The various ministries entered Vietnam via Laizhou, Heyang, Liangshan, and Longpin on the border between Yunnan and Vietnam, and were scheduled to arrive at the Hue, Hanoi, and Haiphong areas north of the 16th north latitude before September 21.According to the order of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, all troops that entered Vietnam and surrendered were under the command of Lu Han in name, but in fact Lu Han could only command the various ministries of the Yunnan Army. As for the secret mission of driving the army back to Yunnan privately, if any suspicious actions by Lu Bu are found, they will be resolved by force immediately.As a result, Long Yun's military strength in Kunming was only a temporary division in name of his second son Long Shengzu. Because the officers and soldiers of a regiment were on vacation to recuperate, the actual strength was only a gendarmerie regiment and a guard battalion.The troops of the Central Army in Kunming are under the command of Du Yuming, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Garrison. The troops that can be mobilized include the entire Fifth Army of Qiu Qingquan, the 207th Division of the Youth Army, the four regiments of the Airport Garrison Command, and the 13th Military Police Regiment. Waiting for a force of 40,000 to 50,000 people.When Lu Han unknowingly led almost the entire Yunnan army to bid farewell to Kunming and enter Vietnam, Chiang Kai-shek believed that the time was ripe to deal with Long Yun, and he only waited for an order to capture Long Yun on a dark and stormy night. On August 28, 1945, at the invitation of Chiang Kai-shek three times by telegram, the CCP delegation headed by Mao Zedong flew to Chongqing to conduct peace negotiations with the Kuomintang that "affected the country's major interests".While perfunctory in negotiating matters, Chiang Kai-shek started planning to completely solve the Longyun problem.In order to keep secrets and numb the outside world, on September 27, Chiang Kai-shek, his wife Song Meiling and others quietly flew from Chongqing to Xichang for a "short-term recuperation" and lived in a special house in Xichang New Village on the shore of Qionghai.In this residence, Chiang Kai-shek was quietly planning to reorganize the Yunnan provincial government by force while he was devising painstakingly on how to deal with Mao Zedong.After the plot, Chiang Kai-shek personally sent Wang Shuming, deputy commander of the Air Force, to Kunming with a secret letter to Du Yuming, saying: "In a few days, it will be announced that Long Yun will be exempted from Yunnan's military and political positions, and transferred to the chairman of the Senate of the Military Committee. It is best not to fire a single shot." To ensure his safety, the Kunming Air Force has been put under your command. If Long Yun refuses to accept the order, he will bombard Mount Wuhua with various firearms." In the middle of the night of October 1, Chiang Kai-shek sent people to inform Li Zonghuang, a politician from Yunnan who lives in Chongqing, to fly to Xichang the next day to give face-to-face instructions on the reorganization of the Yunnan provincial government. On October 2, Chiang Kai-shek held an emergency meeting in Xichang. Song Ziwen, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin, Li Zonghuang, Guan Linzheng and other military and political officials went to attend.The meeting decided: Immediately reorganize the Yunnan provincial government, and temporarily appoint Lu Han as the chairman of the Yunnan provincial government.In Jiang's mind, Lu Han was not a reliable and suitable candidate, but considering the complicated relationship in Yunnan and the fact that Lu Han held a large army, if he was not appeased by senior officials, a mutiny might occur midway.Although the Central Army is secretly monitoring and will use force to deal with it at any time, after all Lu Han has a lot of troops in his hands. Once he makes a move, the entire Vietnamese front and the southwestern half will fall into chaos, and the consequences are unimaginable.In order to concentrate on removing Long Yun's thorn in his side and thorn in his flesh, according to Sun Tzu's strategy of "surrendering troops and conquering others without fighting", we had to temporarily cover one side, and Xu Lu became the provincial chairman's throne. In order to achieve the purpose of disintegrating and breaking down.In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Shuming flew to Kunming with Li Zonghuang, Guan Linzheng and others on board, sneaked into the Gangtou Village Defense Command, and delivered three warrants to Du Yuming, the commander-in-chief of the garrison.The content is: (1) The director of the Kunming branch of the Longyun Military Commission and the chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government were removed from their concurrent positions.The Kunming camp of the Military Commission was abolished, and the personnel assigned to the camp were uniformly arranged by the central government.The local troops in Yunnan handed over to Kunming Garrison Commander Du Yuming for adaptation.The Yunnan provincial government handed Lu Han over to accept, and before Lu Han took office, Li Zonghuang, director of the Civil Affairs Department of Yunnan Province, acted as his agent. (2) Appoint Long Yun as the President of the Military Senate of the Military Committee. (3) Appoint Lu Han as Chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government. Upon hearing the news, Du Yuming held a meeting of military officers above the group overnight, delivered three orders, and made military deployments. Earlier in late September 1945, Long Yun's counselors advised him to beware of Chiang Kai-shek's plot to solve him. Hua Gang, the leader of the Kunming side of the Southern Bureau of the CCP's underground party, also secretly told Long that "Chiang Kai-shek is not sincere enough for the peace talks" and asked him to raise Be vigilant, just in case.All of this did not attract Long Yun's attention, and he did not make precautions and contingency preparations.Later, some researchers believed that Long Yun was too naive, which led to the defeat of the mutiny, but why did Long Yun, who grew up in the continuous war, be so naive and stupid?The real reason is that Long Yun has been in Yunnan for a long time, and he has the military and political power in his hands. He was tainted by the flattery around him. Only at the critical moment did he think that: the Anti-Japanese War was won, and Mao Zedong also went to Chongqing for talks. There is a peaceful and democratic trend. In such a political climate, Chiang Kai-shek will not make a wrong judgment on him.Because of this erroneous judgment, he gave up the political guideline of "grasp with both hands, and both hands must be tough", and finally fell to the tragic ending of "grasping with one hand, not being tough with the other hand", falling to the ground. Long Yun's so-called "grasp with one hand" is: Lu Han led his troops to the front, and Long and Lu had an alliance under the city.Long told Lu: "If there is something in the rear, return to the army as soon as you hear the news." Lu Zeng swore that no matter how unfavorable the situation, how much resistance and sacrifice the Renyue Yunnan Army was in, they would immediately counterattack and return to Kunming for rescue. Don't disgrace the mission of the lord.This secret agreement is not constructed out of thin air, but has a solid foundation.Long and Lu are closely related. Both belong to the Yi nationality in Zhaotong, Yunnan. They both came from farming families.Long and Lu are close relatives (according to the south: Lu Han's wife, Long Zeqing, is Long Yun's cousin), and they both joined the army in their early years.During decades of military service, the two have shared weal and woe, share weal and woe, love brothers and sisters, and are as close as brothers.Now that there is such an intimate relationship and a secret agreement, under such a premise, Long felt at ease and did not take any precautions against Jiang's plot.Unexpectedly, just as he was drowsy and immersed in a sweet dream, Wang Shuming, the deputy commander of the Air Force, suddenly flew over Kunming with a secret order.From this moment on, to Long Yun, it can be said that people are sitting at home, and the disaster is coming from the sky. As the commander-in-chief of this operation, Du Yuming was afraid that according to Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, adopting the strategy of courtesy first and soldiers later would cause some entangled troubles, and it was likely to delay major military affairs.So he simply said "the general is outside, and the military orders are not accepted", and he did the opposite, and he fought first and then paid respects, and forced this "Dragon King" to a dry and desperate place before he could care about it.Under the guidance of this strategic thinking, at 2 am on October 3, 1945, Du Yuming stepped out of the hall, glanced at the dark night, with a sneer that was hard to detect on his face, turned around and ordered his troops to start attacking.All of a sudden, guns fired, and Kunming shook.Long Yun, who was sleeping soundly at home, was suddenly awakened by the sound of gunfire, and suddenly jumped out of bed, flustered and at a loss as to what to do.At this time, the guards of the Long Mansion found that the mansion was surrounded, and there were cannons aimed at the gate of the mansion, and the aides and adjutants on duty rushed to report.Long Yun, who came back to his senses, knew that something was wrong, put on his clothes in a hurry, and scurried away from the back door like a mouse, then hunched his back, and quietly walked around Quanxue Lane, Shihua Lane and other streets and alleys, I walked up to Wuhua Mountain, the seat of the Yunnan Provincial Government, alone at night, and got up in a bush. Not long after, Long Shengzu, the son of Long Yun, the leader of the Dian Army in Kunming, and the temporary commander of the 24th Division, heard the news and led his troops to block Wuhua Mountain.Zhang Chong, another leader of the Yunnan army, also led his troops to Wuhua Mountain, intending to join forces with Longshengzu's troops to guard the provincial capital.Seeing the situation, Du Yuming's troops attacked Kunming's Great East Gate with fierce firepower, attacked Wuhua Mountain, and encircled and suppressed Longshengzu's troops who had seized the North School Field.After a few rounds of fighting, Long Shengzu's army was exhausted, and most of them disarmed and surrendered.In order to make a quick decision, Du Yuming's command post used a large number of US-aided weapons such as machine guns, rocket launchers, tanks and other heavy weapons to attack Wuhua Mountain with all its strength.Long Shengzu and Zhang Chong commanded a regiment of military police stationed at the gates of Kunming and two companies of Wuhuashan guards to resist desperately. Due to the fierce firepower of Du's troops, the defenders were killed and injured everywhere. All the officers and soldiers of the gendarmerie were killed in battle. In the smoke of gunfire, Long Yun, like a frightened wild fox, quietly climbed out of the bushes, entered the telegraph room of the Wuhuashan Provincial Government Hall, and hurriedly ordered the telegraph operator to send out a telegram of "putting out chaos", saying that Du Yuming had rebelled and besieged Kunming City At the same time, he ordered Lu Han to lead the Vietnamese army to attack Kunming quickly. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the provincial district commissioners and county heads to lead the local security regiments and teams to advance to Kunming day and night to carry out internal and external attacks and wipe out Du's tribe in one fell swoop.At that time, there were 100,000 security forces in various parts of Yunnan. Long Yun believed that this force could compete with Du Yuming's troops, and was determined to stick to Wuhua Mountain and wait for help.However, because most of his communication facilities were destroyed or monitored by Du's department before, he quickly lost contact with all parties, and Long Yun became a lonely beast, and he could only sigh in vain!No way! In the early morning of the 3rd, the remnants of Longshengzu were no longer able to fight the opponent, so they had to retreat into the provincial government hall and stick around.Du Yuming was afraid that the continued assault would hurt Long Yun's life and he could not report to Chiang, so he ordered to stop the attack, and sent someone to Long Yun to send Chiang Kai-shek's order to "remove Long Yun from his current position and transfer him to the chairman of the Military Senate of the Military Committee".Long looked at it, and scolded Chiang Kai-shek on the spot as "a lone husband and a traitor to the people", "despicable and shameless", etc., then tore up the order and stomped it under his feet, ignoring it. After the telegram that Long Yun was trapped in Wuhua Mountain was sent to Xichang, in order to stabilize Lu Han, who was surrendered, and to dispel his idea of ​​returning to rescue, Chiang Kai-shek sent Wang Shuming to fly to Hanoi quickly, and delivered the written letter to Lu Han. Han, Xin said: Yongheng My Brother Award: The country that won the Anti-Japanese War urgently needs to unify military orders and government orders. In order to strengthen the central government and consolidate the local government, Zhizhou was specially appointed as the president of the Military Senate and transferred to the central government to serve in the central government.He also appointed his brother as the chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government, and Li Zonghuang as the head of the Civil Affairs Department. Before his brother took office, Li Zonghuang was acting as his agent.I hope to tell you where you belong, so as to reassure everyone.And hope that the surrender of Yue is over, and I will come to Chongqing for a narration. Shun Song Xunqi. Zhongzheng's handwriting on October 2 and October 4, He Yingqin was ordered by Chiang Kai-shek to fly to Hanoi again as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, in the name of inspecting the situation of the surrender, but actually visiting Lu Han.At this time, Lu Han had already learned that there was a mutiny in Kunming, and there were many dangers and dangers. Due to the interruption of the communication system in Kunming, he could not continue to contact him, so he did not make the decision to immediately return to the army for rescue.When Lu received Jiang's letter, he knew that it was a strategy of stabilizing the army and delaying the army implemented by the Jiang clique. With the attitude of "calm, calm, and cautious in speech", he waited and watched the changes, secretly making plans for the next step. Long Yun, who was besieged in Wuhua Mountain, was still in the compound of the deep house, waiting for reinforcements to come to "King Qin" with luck. Du Yuming sent people into the mountain to persuade Long Yun to give up resistance, and immediately went down the mountain to take the opportunity to fly to Chongqing to take office. Chiang Kai-shek also sent a telegram to urge the dragon He went to Chongqing quickly, but the other party still ignored it, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.Chiang Kai-shek was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly sent He Yingqin to Kunming to persuade Long Yun to go to Chongqing as soon as possible. After He's arrival in Kunming, Long Yun refused to meet him at Wuhua Mountain.In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to send Long Yun's friend Wang Zhenfang, the then president of the Kunming Branch of the Bank of China, from Chongqing to Feikun to persuade him to recognize the situation again, and to fly down the mountain to Yu as soon as possible, so as not to cause accidents and die under random guns.Seeing that the general situation was over, Long Yun had no choice but to say that Song Ziwen, the head of the Executive Yuan, must come to Kunming in person to ensure his personal safety before he could go to Chongqing to take orders.Wang Zhenfang immediately flew back to Chongqing to report to Chiang Kai-shek.During this brief gap, Long Yun had planned to secretly lead the remnants to break out of the encirclement, and to south Yunnan to transfer back the troops in Vietnam to fight back.Zhang Chong and his son Long Shengzu, who had been serving as his guards, thought the plan was very dangerous and the possibility of success was very small, so they tried their best to dissuade him, but Long Yun dismissed the idea. On October 5, Song Ziwen flew to Kunming.After boarding Mount Wuhua, he had a detailed discussion with Long Yun and gave a guarantee. Long Yun finally agreed to resign and was scheduled to leave Kunming and fly to Yu the next day.That night, Zhang Chong suggested that Long Yun, his bodyguard and Song Ziwen should try to hijack the plane in the air and force the pilot to fly to Vietnam, taking the opportunity to escape.Long Shengzu thinks that this plan is still too risky. Once the plane crashes, they will all die together.Long Yun had been waiting for Lu Han's response for three days and three nights without any news. In the desperate situation of internal and external difficulties, he could only look up to the sky and sigh, and walked down Wuhua Mountain with a sad expression. The members flew to Chongqing together by plane.A generation of famous generals who rose from the reckless, the 18-year career of "King of Yunnan" has come to an end. On October 7, Song Ziwen accompanied Long Yun to see Chiang Kai-shek. Jiang first said a few words of apology. Long Yun suppressed his anger and said to Chiang with grief and indignation: "I have served under your leadership for a long time. I ask myself You, the country, and the locality have nothing to be sorry for. Reorganizing a local government and changing positions is a very common thing, but it is too much to use such an extraordinary method instead of the normal method. Doing so may be harmful The people of the country will leave a bad influence.” Jiang explained rather embarrassingly, “My instructions are not like this, this is Du Yuming’s mistake, and he must be punished!” Long Yun said that he could not be the president of the Senate, citing his poor health. Jiang gave comfort. After Long Yun left Kunming, Du Yuming started to reorganize the remnants of the Yunnan Army according to Jiang's instructions. On October 15, Du was ordered to go to Chongqing to report on his work. After meeting with him, Chiang Kai-shek asked with great interest how he solved Long Yun, and expressed his appreciation for Du's courage.Then he said to Du: "You solved Long Yun's service to the country, but you offended Long Yun. You should have done it for the country and worked hard. On the surface, I will first issue an order to dismiss you and investigate, and I will take your other positions later. " Du Yuming quickly understood what Chiang meant, and immediately acted impassioned, saying: "As long as it is beneficial to the country, I personally don't care about any reputation and status." , Very good. Just follow my order. But because of taking care of Long Yun, the order to punish you must be published first. You will go to Kunming tomorrow to handle the confession, and come to Chongqing on the 18th." On October 16, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order: "Du Yuming mishandled his actions in Yunnan, and he will be dismissed immediately for investigation. Guan Linzheng will be transferred to be the commander-in-chief of Yunnan's garrison." This order was especially published as the headline in "Central Daily".Two days later, on October 18, Chiang Kai-shek issued another order, appointing Du Yuming as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Security Commander. In just three days, Du Yuming fell from the sky to the ground, and then rose from the ground to the sky.The momentary ups and downs made Commander Du dazzled and pleasantly surprised.Unexpectedly, the loss of a small and remote city of Kunming, but in exchange for the huge territory of the entire northeast region, my God!Fate!Or fate is here!It's just that when he was excited, he also echoed the old saying of Lao Tzu that "when misfortune comes, we rely on it; Qin Dechun, the mayor of Beiping City, said to the guards and soldiers of the bridge that "the grave of you and others".With the loss of troops in the battle between the Du family and the communist army, they were about to withdraw from the Northeast, and then led an army of hundreds of thousands to collapse in the Huaihai (Xu Bang) battle later on.This is for later.
