Long Yun was deeply appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek and became a heavyweight in Yunnan, ruling for 18 years. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he actively supported and protected the patriotic actions of our party's underground organizations.
However, due to his proximity to our party, he was placed under house arrest by Chiang Kai-shek for more than three years in 1945. Fortunately, in 1948 he managed to escape to Hong Kong with the help of Chennault.
In 1949, he officially issued a manifesto of "supporting the Communist Party and opposing Chiang" and instigated the Luhan uprising, becoming a staunch supporter of our party.
Long Yun, the king of Yunnan, actively assisted our party in its work after the founding of New China. However, his third son, Long Rope, was killed by the People's Liberation Army led by Chen Geng. Long Yun couldn't accept this, he went to Zhongnanhai to find ***, hoping that he could deal with it impartially.
And *** just said lightly: "Go back and see for yourself, you'll know when you see it." So, how did Long Yun go from "**" to "pro-communist"? Why did Chen Geng kill Long Rope Zeng?
And how did you deal with this? Let's ** the truth of this incident together. In the mid-to-late 30s of the 20th century, Long Yun took power and became the "king of Yunnan" and adopted a hostile and defensive attitude towards our party's underground organization, which led to tension between the two parties.
Before the Anti-Japanese War, in order to establish his dominance, Long Yun needed the approval of the Kuomintang and the support of Chiang Kai-shek, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party did not agree, so he carried out the "Qing Communist Party**".
This incident gave Long Yun a new understanding of the Communist Party, and finally went from "**" to "pro-CCP".
Before the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan underground organization of the Communist Party of China had adopted demonstrations, strikes and other movements through the Provincial Agricultural Association and other organizations, which posed a serious threat to Long Yun's rule, which in turn led to the contradiction between Long Yun and our party.
However, it is commendable that although Long Yun suppressed the revolutionary activities of our party, he showed great respect for the members of the underground organization who had integrity, and sneered at those who defected.
As time passed, Chiang Kai-shek's attempts to control Yunnan became increasingly apparent, which made Long Yun's attitude towards Chiang Kai-shek change from proximity to defense. At the same time, his attitude towards the Communist Party began to change.
In 1935, the Red Army passed through Yunnan, in order to reassure Long Yun, our general Luo Binghui specially wrote a letter, expressing that the purpose of the Red Army's Long March was to go north to resist Japan, and at present it was only passing through Yunnan, and had no intention of going to Kunming.
I hope that Long Yun's army will not encircle and intercept our army, and if you can, I hope that your troops can hold back Jiang's army. Long Yun had long been dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek, and he was even more happy to see this letter, and immediately said to the person who sent the letter: "You go back and tell you Commander Luo, and I will definitely do it."
If you believe me, you will not reply, so as not to fall into the hands of others. ”
Long Yun wrote a letter to Sun Du, the content of which was that they should not be hard-hitting, but only need to send the Red Army to the Jinsha River, and not let them come to Kunming. In the end, under the leadership of Long Yun, our army was "sent" across the Jinsha River.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Long Yun deeply agreed with our party's policy of "anti-Japanese national united front" and actively participated in the anti-Japanese work. After receiving the news that Chiang Kai-shek had summoned the military and political chiefs of various provinces to Nanjing for a meeting, Long Yun immediately took a special plane to Nanjing.
In the airport lounge, Mr. Jiang asked Mr. Long if he could take a few of the CCP leaders with him. Long Yun said yes, and also recognized ** and *** as his old classmates.
At the meeting held in Nanjing, ** discussed the issue of resistance against Japan with Long Yun and others. ** Asked Long Yun how many troops Yunnan could contribute, Long Yun replied that it depended on military development.
Later, **asked what the people ** sent to their Eighth Route Army**, and Long Yun said that they only needed some light **, and they could contact them by radio.
After the secretary of ** thought that the use of this Kuomintang-controlled codebook was easy to leak, Long Yun expressed his willingness to hand over the codebook to them for study. This trip to Nanjing left a deep impression on Long Yun, but he saw that Nanjing's air defense was weak, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's passive anti-Japanese actions.
After returning to Kunming, Long Yun immediately convened a meeting of all military and political circles, organized 200,000 Yunnan troops to go to the anti-Japanese battlefield, and built the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which became a recognized feat.
The Yunnan-Burma Highway, also known as the "anti-Japanese blood vessel", made great contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan. On September 9, 1937, Long Yun wore a military uniform to hold a swearing-in meeting, and more than 40,000 soldiers of the first batch of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army rushed to Taierzhuang, the front line of resistance against Japan.
At this time, the situation in Taierzhuang was extremely tense, Sun Lianzhong's Second Army was repeatedly defeated, and the troops led by Tang Enbo immediately withdrew from their positions as soon as they heard that the Dian army was coming; Yu Xuezhong's department, which was near Taierzhuang, was also preparing to retreat south.
The Japanese army took advantage of the loopholes in the Kuomintang army's defense and quickly rushed to the gap, and Sun Lianzhong's troops were in danger of being annihilated. The troops of the Yunnan army, who had just arrived in Taierzhuang, had not had time to unload their machine guns before they started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.
At the battlefield station, none of the soldiers of the Dian army retreated for fear of death, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy. Yin Guohua, the commander of the Yunnan army, led the whole battalion of 500 people and the Japanese army to fight, and in the end only one person survived; Wang Bingzhuan of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army stabbed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to death with a bayonet, and later was shot in the chest and bled profusely.
Despite this, he still walked up to the division commander and said, "Please check the division commander, did the bullet penetrate from the front?" It turned out that at the swearing-in meeting, the division commander once said: "Our 184th Division will never be greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone a deserter with bullets in the back!"
Whoever disgraces the ancestors, I will never spare them! "In the first battle of Taierzhuang, the Dian army shocked China, but it also paid a painful price. From 1937 to August 1945, Longyun transported more than 200,000 Yunnan troops to the anti-Japanese front, and more than 100,000 people after more than 50 battles of all sizes.
Organizing the military and civilians of Yunnan Province to devote themselves to the war in western Yunnan was the most colorful stroke in Long Yun's political career.
Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the contradictions between Long Yun and Chiang Kai-shek were already quite serious. In October 1945, Long Yun was sent to Chongqing to take up a post, but in fact he was under house arrest. A year later, he was taken to Nanjing by Chiang Kai-shek, but he still could not escape the fate of house arrest.
Long Yun's hatred for Chiang Kai-shek deepened, and he longed to be able to break free from Chiang Kai-shek's control. In 1948, as the Kuomintang army retreated on the battlefield of liberation, Long Yun began to plan to flee to Hong Kong.
Before he fled Nanjing, he wrote a letter scolding Chiang Kai-shek for starting a civil war, and asked his son, Long Shengu, to pass it on to Chiang Kai-shek when he arrived in Hong Kong. After Chiang Kai-shek received this letter, he immediately issued a national martial law and claimed that Long Yun's visit to Hong Kong was for recuperation, and he personally approved it, so as to save his face.
Long Yun did not abandon his loyalty to the people because of Chiang Kai-shek's face, and in 1949 he announced his separation from the Kuomintang and his return to the people. In 1950, he returned to Guangzhou, redevoted himself to the construction of New China, and became a member of the People's Committee.
Although he did a lot for our army, his son Long Cheng had publicly ** in 1949 when he was the commander-in-chief of the southwestern guerrillas, and raided his home during the Luján uprising, showing his resistance.
Unlike his father, Long Cheng once chose to accept Chiang Kai-shek's appointment to serve as the "military and political chief of northeastern Yunnan" and other positions, making enemies of the people. In 1950, the People's Liberation Army announced the end of Kuomintang rule in Zhaotong, but Long Xianzeng secretly colluded with reactionary figures to form a bandit armed force, and held hundreds of armed ** to try to confront our army.
When our army escorted supplies to Zhaotong, they ambushed us, resulting in a heavy loss of our army, in which more than 40 soldiers died bravely, which is the famous "Xianning Black Stone Incident".
Although Long Cheng had made many mistakes, the leaders of the provincial party committee, Chen Geng, Song Renqiang and others, still gave him a chance to correct his mistakes. However, it is a pity that the dragon rope not only did not correct its mistakes, but instead intensified it, and even openly resisted the reorganization and transformation.
Just when Chen Geng was about to continue to persuade Long Shenzeng, Long Shenzeng actually went to our army and killed the three military representatives sent by our army to the ministry. In this case, our army was forced to resort to the use of force to settle the situation.
After fierce fighting, our troops killed 219 people, including Long Rope, on the spot, captured nearly 2,000 people, and captured a lot of supplies. When the news of "Long Rope was shot dead by Chen Geng" reached Long Yun's ears, he was very angry and immediately went to Zhongnanhai to find *** to vent his anger.
However, ** just said to him lightly: "Chen Geng didn't do anything wrong in this matter, you can go back and see ......."”
Chen Geng revealed to Long Yun that Long Cheng had colluded with Chiang Kai-shek and killed the representatives of the People's Liberation Army. Long Yun was surprised and disappointed by his son's misdeeds, and he sighed, "He is to blame, and he deserves it." ”
After speaking, Long Yun left gloomily. As the folk saying goes: "There is no way to teach the son, and the father is at fault." Long Yun's heart must have been full of remorse at this time.
