In 1944, **found** and gave him an important task: "I will send you to the south to carry out work, divide the 359 Brigade into two echelons, and you take the first echelon to Guangdong to meet the Dongjiang Column and open up the Wuling anti-Japanese base area." * Without hesitation, he said, "Let me personally escort the troops south." "*Deeply aware of the danger of this task, remind**: fighting the Japanese army is not the most dangerous, the real danger is Chiang Kai-shek.
The Kuomintang is not really cooperating with us, if the World Anti-Fascist War ends, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely immediately point the finger at you, and you are only a lone army, in a very dangerous situation, and may be completely wiped out"The Battle of Yuxianggui was fought from April to December 1944, and the Kuomintang army was five times the number of the Japanese army, but it was defeated and retreated, but the Communist Party cleaned up the mess in the back and knocked down the positions lost by the Kuomintang. ** sighed: "To defend China, we have to come to the Communist Party." ”。
All this shows the great significance and danger of the task entrusted to ***. Without hesitation, say, "Don't worry!."We will resolutely accomplish our tasks and live up to the expectations of the President. "2. Returning to the south and returning to the north** Soon after, a part of the main force was drawn from the 359th Brigade to form the first southbound troops, with ** as the commander. The 5,000-strong force set out from Yan'an on November 10. In January 1945, **'s troops joined the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army and moved south together.
In the process of opening up the revolutionary base areas in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, he led his troops to continue southward until he arrived at Bamian Mountain in southern Hunan in August. However, the sudden and unconditional surrender of Japan led to the end of the Sino-Japanese War. Chiang Kai-shek immediately turned his face, turned his guns on the Communists, and sent troops to besiege the troops of the ** at Bamian Mountain and block the 5 passages down the mountain. The soldiers ran out of food and were in critical condition. In the face of difficulties, ** knows that it is necessary to break through as soon as possible. In the heavy rain, he finally led his troops to successfully break through and continued south as originally planned, reaching the Wuling area.
However, the Kuomintang had fortified the vicinity and issued instructions to ** after considering it: "You can choose the route to the north. * Began to return north with regret, but Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to give up and pursued all the way. ** Don't dare to slack off, day and night, breaking through the blockade of the Kuomintang many times. Finally, on September 23, it joined the 5th Division of the New Fourth Army again and was incorporated into the Central Plains Military Region, no longer fighting alone. 3. Return to Yan'anIn June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek broke the Double Tenth Agreement, and the civil war officially broke out.
220,000 Kuomintang troops launched an attack on the Central Plains Military Region, and the troops were forced to break through. On the evening of the 29th, taking advantage of the enemy's negligence, ** led his troops to break through the enemy blockade and advance to southern Shaanxi, intending to return to Yan'an to meet ***. **Very concerned** about the situation**, in order to be able to respond smoothly**, he wrote nine letters to the secretary of the Northwest Bureau within a month, each letter containing specific instructions. On September 27, the southern expeditionary force that had been away from Yan'an for two years finally returned. When I learned that I had arrived at the jujube garden, I immediately came to greet him from the cave.
Seeing the appearance of **ragged and bearded,** held his hand tightly and did not say anything for a long time. After a while, I couldn't help but shed tears and said with emotion: "Wang Huzi, you have suffered a lot!".You've done an excellent job, it's amazing!From that moment on, ** has been given the reputation of a "king's beard".
