Chapter 341: Suppressing Bandits in Fujian Province
Under Jiang Ruiyuan's personal supervision, the army was busy exterminating Ruijin's Red Army, and what about the leaders of the Hongmen who were doing it now?
Unlike many people imagined, Hongmen is not busy with anti-encirclement and suppression, but is committed to the Party clearance and cleaning up the political speculators who have "not firm will" within the country.
Because Chen Qingtong was engaged in a right-wing resistance to the Soviet Union within the Hongmen, the Hongmen of China has now been divided into two factions with very sharp contradictions, and they are irreconcilable to each other.
The essence of redness lies in the concentration of power in the hands of political leaders, suppressing and controlling them at all levels. The system is very simple, but it is also efficient and practical, with strict organization and strong centripetal force. In addition, the violent concept with class struggle as the fundamental purpose, the brainwashed disciples are no less than the spiritual belief of the bald Buddhists.
But it was not without a price. Although it was ruled by the imperial power in ancient times, the ruling class had to take into account the revealing of morality, while the Hongmen was completely unscrupulous. As long as there was a need, the crime could be placed at will. There was no way to worry about the crime that was added.
The most typical example is that Xia Xi killed only 3,000 Red Army with only 40,000 left, and the efficiency is not low. Compared with Jiang Ruiyuan, Xia Xi seems to be more keen on eliminating the Red Army. Although the starting points are completely different from each other. It cannot be denied that regular internal cleaning and eliminating people who have disagreements with the leadership are essential phenomena of the Red system.
The elimination here is not just about dismissal.
Who is he? How could he be so bold and arrogant, covering the sky with one hand, and no one can restrain him?
It turned out that according to the internal regulations of Hongmen at that time, Xia Xi had the "last decision". He Long said a helpless statement, even if everyone opposed it, as long as one of the Central Branch agreed, it must be implemented according to the secretary's decision and must be obeyed. I will kill the division and the League cadres, and I will never win."
It is natural to not win, because the system has long set a winner. Faced with a person who is given the "last decision" to make the decision, no matter how reasonable you are, even if you are the embodiment of truth, is it useful?
And a person with "last decision-making power" will have a way to deal with him no matter how bad the mind is or how bad the quality is. The so-called "last decision-making power" is essentially a rule of man. Although He Long is a general, how can he win if he fights with others?
It was Wang Ming and Bo Gu's rule. Xia Xi gained power by clinging to Soviet Russia and Wang Ming, and became a hot and powerful figure in the Red Gate. He was one of the so-called "twenty-eight and a half Bolsheviks".
In 1932, Xia Xi was appointed as the secretary of the Central Bureau of the Central District of Hunan, Hubei and the secretary of the Anti-Counterfeiting Committee. In this position, he killed a large number of Red Army soldiers in the name of arresting the so-called reorganization factions, Trotsky factions, Abbots, and the third party, and abolishing factions, causing a great crisis in the Red District of Hunan, Hubei and western Hubei.
He Long once said that Xia Xi's "anti-counterattack and murders reached the point of going crazy." Coincidentally, later generations Ma Ziren held the power of the state and also killed dissidents in various names. Even Ji Shaoshan died inexplicably, not to mention other opposition forces.
The armed struggle and the W revolution were actually mainly targeted at the Red Army’s heroes and veterans. The armed seizure of power was to weaken the strength of these people. As Taizu, Ma Ziren actually encountered a mutiny while inspecting the army. How could he bear it?
But that is also a matter of the future. In addition to being killed by the army, the current Red Army will also be killed by Xia Xi. The former can at least give you a pleasure. Xia Xi kills people, and even if they die quickly, it is hard to find a chance.
Among the people killed by Xia Xi, there were as many as eleven senior Red Army cadres at the division level and above. The most famous of them were Duan Dechang and Liu Zhixun. The Chi San Frontier Army, which was active in the western Hunan-Hubei base area, had as many as 20,000 to 30,000 people at its peak, but after Xia Xi's "anti-counterattack" and sacrifice and escape, only a few thousand people were left.
Xia Xi also carried out a "purgation" in the Chi San Front Army and the Chi District in western Hunan and Hubei. In the end, there were only "three and a half disciples", the three disciples were Guan Xiangying, He Long and Xia Xi, and half of the party member was Lu Dongsheng. Because Lu was just a commuter sent by the central government, he could only be considered half a disciple.
Xia Xi carried out a total of four "anti-counterattacks". She originally wanted to do it for the fifth time, but was stopped by the central government. The first time alone, she killed more than 10,000 people. However, Xia Xi reported to the central government that "the execution of hundreds of dozens of people" was carried out.
When evacuating Honghu Chi District, Xia Xi ordered the Political Security Bureau to execute half of the so-called "criminals" arrested in the "anti-counterattack" and half of them were put into sacks, tied with big stones and threw them into Honghu to drowned alive. At that time, fishermen were even scared to go to the lake to catch fish because they often caught dead bodies, and the lake water even changed color.
Even if many years later, there are still many bones in Honghu. This is the red fire that claims to be righteous. How can such a violent flame be hope and the future?
Deng Bin, a disciple of the Red Sect, once lamented that the "left" is terrible, and a good situation will also be ruined.
Some people may say that Xia Xi's killing is different from Jiang Ruiyuan's starting point. This is certainly true, but it is absolutely true in terms of random killings. Moreover, the two are even more different in the result of killing the Red Army. To be different, Xia Xi killed a large number of senior Red Army soldiers such as Duan Dechang, Liu Zhixun, which Jiang Ruiyuan could not do even if he wanted to do it.
Because of this, many Red Army cadres at that time called Xia Xi the "party executioner".
Let’s look at some reasons for Xia Xi to arrest and kill people. Lu Dongsheng is a prestigious general of the Red Army. He served as the political commissar and commander of the ** Division in Hunan, Hubei and western Hunan. For a while, he led the two battalions to fight many victories, and everyone was excited about it, but Xia Xi suspected Lu Dongsheng because of this.
He told Guan Xiangying that Lu Dongsheng only had two battalions of troops, and his record was so great, and our Red Army had more than 20,000 people, but the enemy was chased and unable to gain a foothold. I doubt that Lu Dongsheng had a problem. Could his expanded army be deliberately planted by the enemy? Will Lu Dongsheng be bribed by the enemy?"
After Guan Xiangying dissuasion, Xia Xi did not capture Lu Dongsheng. Xia Xi actually had such a ridiculous and weird thinking logic: after winning a battle, he wiped out a large number of enemy troops, but it became evidence of surrendering to the enemy. How could there be such a surrender to the enemy in the world? But this is also the political characteristic of the Hongmen. As long as the superiors say they want to mess with you, you will be fucked.
Silence means acknowledging that resistance is a sin to be more serious, and killing you will not be discussed.
Whether you win or lose, it proves that you are a bad guy or a counter-attack. This kind of trick of persuading people, which is as good as you want, repeatedly confusing, "If you want to add a crime, you will have no choice but to worry about it", is completely a despicable method of cruel officials and evil men in the feudal yamen. However, Hongmen is even better because of its great righteousness.
For the benefit of the Holy Gate, your sacrifice is necessary, please obey the overall situation. If such a regime can bring hope and future to the people, it is ridiculous. Letting the people sacrifice for the country is simply a shame for the country, but the party and the country take it for granted.
So much so that once a problem arises, the people are always "sacrificing". Most people's interests must obey the overall situation of the "collective". As for whose overall situation is, it is hard to say whether the collective is a large group or a small group.
Let’s look at Xia Xi’s cruel methods. Duan Dechang, Wang Bingnan, and Chen Xieping were three Red Army generals with outstanding military achievements. Wang was the founder of the Hunan-European border Red Army and the base area. He was the commander of the Honghu ** Division. Chen was the political commissar of the First Division of the Red Army. However, Xia Xi suspected that they were reorganized factions for no reason.
In order to get the confession needed, Xia Xi did not hesitate to punish them severely. Xia Xi ordered the three men to be extremely stubborn. Duan Dechang was beaten to death several times, Wang Bingnan's leg was broken, and Chen Xieping's ten fingers were discounted, but they didn't help. We would use severe punishment to punish them, so we must pry open their mouths."
The cruel torture was used in such a cruel way, compared with the Jianwei Prison of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhazidong and Baigongguan of the Party. When Duan Dechang was about to be executed, he made a request that the Red Army now lacked bullets. When killing me, don’t use bullets. Leave bullets to the enemy, and you can cut them on me, or burn them in fire."
Even such a fanatical belief failed to shake Xia Xi. Xia Xi actually ordered Duan Dechang to be killed with a knife. Wang Bingnan and Chen Xieping were also executed immediately after Duan Dechang's death. Wang Bingnan's legs were broken before he was killed, and he was hacked to death.
Xia Xi also arrested hundreds of so-called reorganized factions within more than ten days, and then ten people were divided into groups, using iron wire to penetrate the shoulder blades, and paraded in various villages, many of whom died on the road.
Not only that, he also tried to kill people with his own hands. He killed 3 of the four guards around him with his own hands. He is really considered to be a companion for the king and a tiger. He Long once used the word "terror" to describe the "anti-counterattack" in western Hunan and Hubei. That is indeed terrifying. He Long once begged Xia Xi and Lao Xia to not kill again, and if he kills again, he will kill them all."
After hearing this, Xia Xi was just silent. Then he still killed what he should do, and proved the history that happened in time and space. This periodic internal cleaning is not an isolated case. Xia Xi is just the most overdoing one. There are inherent differences in the degree of other leaders, but this method of excluding dissidents is no different.
What is political will only lead to the exploitation of the people's interests, while what is ideological will make the entire country and nation become ignorant and fanatical. Redemption means to restrain the people's thoughts to the greatest extent and use cruel means to eliminate those who have different beliefs.
The Party is still only a politically reincarnated, and it still leaves room for space in the ideological field, and respects ancient Chinese cultural concepts to a large extent. The Hongmen is completely reincarnated in politics and spirit, and even under the "guidance" of the Soviet Union, it has lost its concepts of the country and the nation.
For the benefit of the sect, any means are allowed and they are worthy of justice.
Jiang Ruiyuan encircled and suppressed the Red Army in Ruijin. The 19th Route Army in Fujian Province and the Second Front Army of the Hualian were not calm. They were rushing to rush the Chihua Military Zone in Fujian Province.
The Second Front Army was a unit under Cheng Wenli, mainly located in Fujian Province. In this joint battle against Chi, the Chinese army and the army had a tacit understanding and were responsible for their respective combat areas.
In order to wipe out the Red Army of Ruijin, Jiang Ruiyuan dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, but the effect was very little. The Chinese army was the opposite, only using three mountain divisions as the main force, and the rest of the division headquarters blocked the outside world. However, this was also related to the differences in their respective reconnaissance methods and communication capabilities.
The Chinese army has excellent reconnaissance aircraft and special combat squads equipped with radio systems. Only after the special forces confirm the enemy's target location will the army set out to fight and attack the enemy's large forces directly.
Without these advanced technical means, the army can only rely on old methods and use human sea tactics to search, which is naturally inefficient.
"You should replenish your weapons and equipment in Longyan City, and then go to the area north of Liancheng County to deploy defenses to prevent the Red Army from fleeing west. On the day of departure, I will personally teach the officers and soldiers." Cheng Wenli's posture as a dragon and tiger has now cultivated the destiny of a general.
"Yes" the two generals bowed their heads and then resigned.
The three mountain divisions of the Second Front Army were repaired in Longyan and were about to go north to resist the enemy.
The three division commanders also gathered the entire army and invited Cheng Wenli to come and give a lecture. Outside the suburbs of Longyan, there were fragrant grass. In the whistling cold wind, there were nearly 50,000 people from the three mountain divisions, waiting for Cheng Wenli to come and give a lecture.
Accompanied by several division commanders, Cheng Wenli walked up to the temporary commander station. The whole army stood in tribute to the Red Army forgot their ancestors and forgot their ancestors and ancestors, and was willing to be the minions of the Soviet Union. We, the descendants of Yan and Huang, will fight to the death. For the sake of the country and the people, you have suffered all your hardships. This officer expressed your admiration and condolences to you."
Cheng Wenli's speech was interrupted by the warm applause of the officers and soldiers.
"Brothers, we are the pride of the Chinese army, and we must have the majesty of Canglong. I hope that the brothers of the Chinese army will fight bravely, not be afraid of sacrifice, kill the enemy and serve the country, and become a trump army that shocks the enemy's courage in the war, writing a glorious page in the history of the Chinese army."
Cheng Wenli finished his speech, and the audience was cheering. The 100 trumpet soldiers in front of the team played the passionate trumpet. The Chinese army, with high spirits and strong morale, set off towards Liancheng County in the cold wind and snow. A second-tier B-level troops, considered a "bad force", turned into a powerful force.
The whole lecture was actually too long and boosting morale, and it has no practical significance.
At dawn, Liancheng County, an important town next to the Changshen Highway, was awakened by a violent sound of cannons. Wang Luozhang, the commander of the 31st Division of the Second Front Army, was holding the tube tightly and reporting the situation to Commander-in-Chief Cheng Wenli.
The Chinese army advanced from Longyan to the north to Teng County, and the offensive was blocked due to the tenacious resistance of the Red Army: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the troops of a brigade of our army attacked fiercely at the enemy's Linfang Township position. The villages near Dongguan in Liancheng County had heard machine guns and rifles sounds one after another. The enemy in Beituan Town had begun to flee to our guards against Dongguan. The enemy in Chuling area on the right back of Liancheng County was also surrounded by our army, and it was difficult to fly."
"Captain Wang, the war zone headquarters has just arrived and asked us to capture Liancheng County at any cost. He has transferred an aviation brigade to reinforce us." The staff officer of the rear command said in the inside.
"Please tell the headquarters that Wang Luozhang is determined to capture Liancheng County to the death, and he will sacrifice any sacrifice to repay the country." Wang Luozhang put down and walked quickly indoors.
He was tall, with a flat head like a soldier, a round face and two thick eyebrows, making him look even more thick and simple. He ordered the commander to immediately invite the brigade commander Zhang Wu. Brigade Commander Zhang, who was commanding the battle in Dongguan, was ordered to come.
"Brig Commander Zhang, you immediately inform all the officers and soldiers in the city. We decided to capture Liancheng County at any cost. Commanders at all levels must personally supervise you to immediately send someone to block the enemy's south and north gates, and the east and west gates to temporarily stay as the retreat route of the Red Army to prevent the enemy from counterattacking and bringing too many casualties to our army. You can use an airplane to issue letters of persuasion in the county town, which is known to all officers and soldiers. Without the commander's order, no one is allowed to leave the city. Violators will be punished on the spot."
"Yes" Brigade Commander Zhang was ordered to go.
It was another dawn of blood and fire. Liancheng County's county stood in the smoke of gunpowder. The high and steep city wall was blown into countless sawtooths by the fierce artillery fire of the Chinese army. The bricks and stones were accompanied by the fragments of shells and the flesh and blood of the Red Army officers and soldiers guarding the city.
Every brick was soaked with blood, and every few steps of the city wall, there were corpses with blood and broken limbs lying on it. The originally smooth stone roads in the city were all plowed by artillery fire, and most of the buildings were leveled. Or they became a landform composed of piles of broken bricks and tiles, which looked like a dry riverbed.
The cruel war discolored mountains and rivers, the earth trembled, and the sun and the moon were lost. Volcanoes, earthquakes, and falling stones were not as cruel as human wars, nor as wars destroyed human civilization.
The planes in the sky flew past like crows, and the roaring sound made the incomplete city walls shaking. The dense bombs landed on the positions of the Red Army guarding the city like hail, and the explosions could not make any gaps.
Thick smoke filled the air, and no one could be seen from more than a dozen steps away. The planes dived, dropped bombs, and flew past, and the bombs continued to quake like landslides and cracks.
The bricks, roof tiles, gravels, smoke and dust were like being rolled up from the ground by an extremely huge tornado, scrambled into the air, and then fell down fiercely. Then they were rolled up and fell down again, and tossed and tossed endlessly. Every minute and every second, there were soldiers who died; every moment and every hour, there were a whole row, and the officers and soldiers of the entire company had the last drop of blood.
Field cannons, howitzers, and flat-fired cannons kept roaring into the city, and the light and heavy machine gun bullets, like locusts everywhere, kept pounced on the city wall. Dozens of gray wolf-type tanks, howling, and huge flames.
The sparse steel helmets and black and shiny assault rifles rolled behind the tanks, jumping, and rushed under the city wall like a tide. The Red Army's defensive power has almost been exhausted. He dared to engage in positional warfare with the Chinese army. Cheng Wenli really wants to thank the leaders of the Hongmen for giving up the headache-inducing tactics of guerrilla warfare.
If consumed in this way, the destruction of the Red Army was in front of us, and the casualties of the Chinese army were not as serious as imagined. Wang Luozhang's so-called "at all costs" refers to the upper limit of the supply of materials, rather than filling in the lives of soldiers.
