Night, December 1, 1940.
A rope was tightly wrapped around the neck of a slightly diminutive man, who had a hideous face and clutched the rope with both hands. At the other end of the rope was a burly military man, just as the man was desperately struggling on tiptoe, the military man suddenly pulled the rope on his back, and the man hung his arms and stopped moving. An officer commanded to those present:
See off the Legion Commander. ”
Outside Liuxiatun Village, Puyang, Henan, under the embankment of the Yellow River, the cold wind is blowing. The rustle of shoveling in the silence of the winter night was clear. The officer's eyes were fixed on the man curled up on the ground with his limbs twitching slightly, and he ordered several soldiers to dig the pit
Neatly pointed. ”
Be! The soldier then threw the man into a deep pit that had been dug, refilled with earth, leveled it, and everything was back to normal.
The officer pointed to the place where the man was buried alive and reprimanded sharply
Everyone has seen today's events clearly, and I, Gao, really have to do it as a last resort. Collaboration with the enemy and treason, the sin is unforgivable. If one day my surname is also treasonous, whoever of you can bury me alive like this. ”
The man who was buried alive was named Shi Yousan.
At that time, he was the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army and a lieutenant general.
And the officer who ordered him to be buried alive was none other than Gao Shuxun, whom he single-handedly promoted.
Shi Yousanrong's outfit photo.
In 1891, Shi Yousan was born in East Kaluntun, Changchun County, Jilin Province.
Shi Yousan's family has been poor since he was a child, and the family relies on his father's meager income to catch a big car. When Shi Yousan was very young, his father sent him to Changchun Biguangyuan Grain Store as an apprentice, and the situation under the fence developed Shi Yousan's tenacious and smooth character. The owner of the grain store admired this clever and clever fellow and sponsored him to go to primary school for a few years, and it is worth mentioning here that his teacher happened to be Shang Zhen (the commander of the Sixth Theater during the Anti-Japanese War).
In 1908, 17-year-old Shi Yousan could no longer endure the current situation of poverty, and chose the path that most young people of that era would choose - to join the army. After Shi Yousan left his hometown, he joined Wu Peifu's Third Town of the Beiyang New Army, but apparently the young man was unlucky at first, and soon after joining the army, he was mutinied by the New Army, and then had to live in Beijing.
In 1912, Shi Yousan, who became a second-rate son on the street, came to change the fate of his life.
Feng Yuxiang, the "big leader" of the Northwest Army.
This year, the Gyeonggi Wuwei Left Road Reserve Army recruited troops in Beijing, and Shi Yousan joined the army for the second time with the dream of getting ahead, and happened to be assigned to the third battalion, and the battalion commander was Feng Yuxiang. But at the beginning, the short Shi Yousan was inconspicuous, just working as a groom in the barracks, and he had no choice but to do the "family business", and he couldn't even touch a gun.
This is obviously not what Shi Yousan wants. With his smart nature, quick work, and the ability to slap horses trained in mixed society since childhood, Shi Yousan was soon discovered by Feng Yuxiang, who thought that this little man was a talent and could be cultivated, so he transferred him to become his personal guard.
After that, Shi Yousan followed Feng Yuxiang to fight in the south and the north, and his life was open, from company commander to division commander. By 1926, when Feng Yuxiang and Zhifeng's "Red Alliance" fought fiercely at Nankou, Shi Yousan had served as the commander of the Fifth Army, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and he and Han Fuyu, Sun Lianzhong, Tong Linge and others were known as the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Feng military group, and one of the "New Five Tiger Generals" of the Northwest Army.
In 1937, the senior generals of the 29th Army took a group photo. The fifth from the left in the front row is Shi Yousan.
Aside from the luck component, I have to say that Shi Yousan can quickly stand out and become Feng Yuxiang's henchman, who led his troops to fight with two brushes, and could be called a fierce general among the warlords at that time.
Shi Yousan led the soldiers to believe in twelve words: lead by example, buy people's hearts, and have clear rewards and punishments.
After years of war baptism, Shi Yousan has developed excellent military skills, and he excels in shooting, assassination, and fighting. Until he was promoted to battalion commander, Shi Yousan still participated in all daily training and mingled with the grassroots soldiers.
Shi Yousan also knows a little about "PUA" skills.
They are also from the bottom of the hierarchy, and they can often directly attack the fragility in the hearts of officers and men at the grassroots level, and achieve the goal of winning the hearts of the people. As long as he has been in contact with his subordinates, Shi Yousan will deliberately remember their personal circumstances. For officers and soldiers in difficulty, they often receive assistance and favors, and at the same time promise a bright future. In that era when human life was like a mustard, there were a few people who cared about the spiritual world of Qiu Bamen, and the officers and soldiers who had received Shi Yousan's favor were naturally inseparable from him and were willing to die for him.
The loyalty of subordinates alone is certainly not enough, and it is especially crucial to quickly forge a capable army in the troubled times of warlord warfare.
For military training, Shi Yousan also has his own set of means. According to the memories of his subordinates, in order to temper the wolf nature of the troops, Shi You carried out military competitions in his battalion every three or five days, specially allocated military funds to set up individual and group rewards, and directly issued silver dollars to stimulate when he was happy. Shi Yousan was also unambiguous about the officers and soldiers at the end of the crane in the competition, and the whole platoon was severely punished and humiliated, and the spirit and body were dealt a double blow. Over time, everyone in the battalion competed and competed, and their combat effectiveness increased significantly.
In 1920, Feng Yuxiang and Chen Shufan, the overseer of Shaanxi, fought fiercely in Xingping, Shaanxi. Feng Yuxiang decided to send Shi Yousan's second battalion. Shi Yousan's stand out lies in the fact that he dares to fight and dare to rush at a critical time, and the hard bones that others can't gnaw on, Lao Tzu has to chew it if he breaks his teeth. Shi Yousan immediately gathered a 40-member death squad, personally took the lead in the charge, and took the enemy's position in a surprise attack under the rain of bullets.
Feng Yuxiang laughed, how could such subordinates not love, and soon Shiyou Sanbu became Feng Yuxiang's trump card troops.
Shi Yousan not only has a "fierce" side, but the "evil" of the old warlord is even more vividly reflected in him.
There is a saying circulating within the Northwest Army: "Shi Yousan's whip, Han Fuyu's rope, Liang Guanying's flat shoulder race is like a dragon, Zhang Zizhong is really ruthless!" All the way up, power and desire continued to expand, and Shi Yousan gradually showed his ** murderous nature.
In 1924, Shi Yousan, then the commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade and the guard of Baotou Town, was bribed and falsely accused by the local powerful and shoddy gentry, and shot and killed more than 500 poor people who could not be exploited in only half a year. The locals secretly called him the "Living Hades".
Shi Yousan's killing depends on his mood, even if his officers and soldiers are going to kill if they don't like it well, he will try his best to get rid of anyone who offends him. Shi Yousan especially likes to "bury alive", burying countless people in his life, and calling it "saving bullets" (heaven is good for reincarnation, who is spared by the sky), and even buried alive Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Xueliang sent to his headquarters to supervise the army.
But if you want to talk about the most notorious evil in Shi Yousan's life, it has to be the burning of Shaolin Temple.
In 1928, during the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army, Shi You's three divisions were ordered to pursue Wu Peifu's Fan Zhongxiu Division, and the two sides fought fiercely at Xuanyuan Pass at the foot of Shaomu Mountain. Because Shaolin Temple has a lot of connections with Wu Jun and Fan Zhongxiu had previously given to Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Temple sent monks to help Fan Zhongxiu's department, and Fan also set up his headquarters in Shaolin Temple.
Shi You's three were angry, and they brought heavy artillery to bombard Xuanyuan Pass, Fan and the monks were defeated and retreated, in order to avoid Shi Yousan's revenge, the monks of Shaolin Temple abandoned the temple and fled into the mountains. Shi Yousan then occupied the Shaolin Temple, and in the face of the empty thousand-year-old temple, Shi Yousan was angry, and a sinful thought arose in his heart.
On March 16, 1928, the monks who had escaped into the mountains saw the flames rising to the sky on Mt. Shaomuro. On the same day, Shi Yousan ordered the Shaolin Temple to be burned, including the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Bell and Drum Tower, and other major buildings were burned down, and the cultural relics and treasures such as the Tibetan scriptures, temple chronicles, and murals accumulated for thousands of years were also engulfed by the fire.
The Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall before the Shaolin Temple was burned.
In 1936, Chiang Kai-shek traveled to Shaolin Temple and saw the remains of the scorched earth that were still large fragments, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Shi Yousan is bad enough!" (At this time, Chiang did not expect that two years later he would also do the bad thing of blowing up the Yellow River embankment at the mouth of the garden). And wrote in his diary: "Inspect the Shaolin Temple. Its scale in the past is rare. It's a pity that it's been 17 years since the Feng army's artillery was destroyed, so why bother to destroy the culture. ”
Shi Yousan stood at the forefront of history, hoping to leave a strong mark for himself, but he never expected that history would remember his name because of his countless defections.
Shi Yousan's first rebellion was none other than his noble Feng Yuxiang.
The attitude of the "Thirteen Taibao" of the Northwest Army towards Feng Yuxiang was very complicated. Feng Yuxiang is like their reborn parents, without Feng's support, there would be no ** Houlu for them, but Feng's frequent "fatherly care" also makes these fierce generals more and more unbearable. In addition to being mean and unkind, Feng Yuxiang treats these henchmen and generals at every turn, especially likes to punish and kneel, and even orders the generals to kneel down and report when they beat **. Shi Yousan was also dissatisfied, and gradually planted the seeds of breaking away from Feng Yuxiang and joining the mountain gate.
In 1926, Feng Yuxiang and the Zhifeng coalition army fought fiercely in Nankou, seeing that the balance of the war gradually tilted towards the Zhifeng coalition army, and it happened to be the Jin army led by the teacher Shang Zhen who happened to be against Shi Yousan's fifth army.
Lao Feng, who is famous for his defection, probably never thought that his favorite generals would be better than the blue in the craft of defection, but he was shocked and still believed that his children were just confused for a while, and sent someone to persuade Shi Yousan to turn back. Although Shi Yousan's old father has little education, he is also a person with a general sense of righteousness, and scolds his son for not being ungrateful. As a rookie who defected for the first time, Shi Yousan was like a child who had done something wrong, and chose to return to the arms of his "father-in-law" and continue to be his "Thirteen Taibao".
After the five original swearings, Shi Yousan continued to follow Feng Yuxiang's Northern Expedition, during which he cooperated with Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army to defeat Sun Chuanfang's troops and conquer Jining City in one fell swoop.
Feng Yuxiang began to be wary of Shi Yousan, replaced some of the generals of Shi Yousan, and sent his confidant Li Bingxuan as Shi's chief of staff, who was actually the supervisor of the army. This series of riotous operations made Shi You's three dissatisfied.
At this time, the former Northern Expedition coalition army was engaged in internal strife over the division of the fruits of the Northern Expedition's victory. In 1928, Jiang and Gui took the lead in starting a war in Wuhan, and Feng Yuxiang wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so he secretly ordered Shi You's three departments and Han Fuyu's department to go to Wuhan.
At this time, Lao Jiang launched the Jinyuan offensive, constantly lobbied Shi You to oppose Jiang San, and gave Shi You three heavy gold of hundreds of thousands of yuan twice.
Now the two paths are in front of Shi Yousan, either follow the "father-in-law" Feng Yuxiang to continue to work, but the rift between the two sides has appeared, and Feng does not trust himself as much as before. Either Chiang Kai-shek was renamed as the "father-in-law", Chiang was sitting on the richest and vast Jiangnan at this time, and he had the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols behind him. More importantly, Chiang Kai-shek promised Shi Yousan the post of chairman of Anhui Province, and owning a piece of his own territory was irresistible for any warlord.
Shi Yousan has made a move! Shi Yousan, who was the commander-in-chief of the 13th Route Army of the Northwest Army at the time, and his eldest brother Han Fuyu telegraphed against Feng Yongjiang, which was Shi Yousan's "second defection". Beforehand, Shi Yousan did not forget to bury alive the chief of staff Li Bingxuan, who was against him everywhere.
The new father-in-law "seems to be keeping his word."
In the autumn of 1929, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Shi Yousan as chairman of Anhui Province, plus a huge reward of 5 million yuan. Shi Yousan was ecstatic, his mind was full of his beautiful blueprint for separating the small kingdom, for fear that Chiang Kai-shek would regret it, so he hurriedly packed up his burden and led the army to Bengbu. But before Shi Yousan took office, Li Zongren and Chen Jitang telegraphed Jiang in Guangzhou, so Jiang immediately thought of the newly acquired Ma Zai Shi Yousan, and ordered Shi Yousan's headquarters to go south to rescue, and promised to entrust him with the post of chairman of Guangzhou Province after the matter was completed.
Afraid of what comes. The chairman of Anhui Province who arrived in hand just flew like this? Does Lao Jiang's words count? Shi Yousan muttered in Pukou, Nanjing. At this time, Li Zongren and others successively sent people to lobby Shi Yousan to oppose Chiang, which hit Shi's doubts and worries.
I even dared to oppose Feng Yuxiang, and it was twice, your old Jiang broke his promise first, so don't blame me for being unjust.
As a result, Shi Yousan "defected for the third time". Before defecting, Shi Yousan also tried to hijack Chiang Kai-shek when he crossed the river for a military parade, but the incident failed.
Shi Yousan is a person who does not leave a way back, and since he has torn his face, he will not do anything. Shi You's three columns plundered Pukou and ordered more than a dozen cannons to bombard the city of Nanjing, which immediately fell into chaos. When Chiang Kai-shek, who was kept in the dark, learned that it was Shi Yousan who defected, he scolded "Niang Xipi" and said angrily in his diary that day: "I got a report late, because Shi Yousan had the news of a mutiny in Pukou." The dispatch staff did not even reply. After hearing the sound of his gunshots, he knew that it had indeed changed, and the wolf's ambition could not be treated by others! "Chiang Kai-shek's murderous intent has risen.
After the bombardment of Nanjing, Shi Yousan once again became a "fatherless" child, and after a looting outside Nanjing, he went to Henan, and attached himself to Han Fuyu, the eldest brother who was the chairman of Henan Province at the time.
In 1930, the "Central Plains War" was about to start, and both warring sides were fighting hard to fight for all living forces. At the moment of the great enemy, Feng Yuxiang decided to let go of his old grudges and once again lobbied Shi Yousan to oppose Jiang, and Yan Xishan also sent people to win over Shi Yousan. Shi Yousan knew that he had offended Chiang Kai-shek miserably the previous time, so he joined the anti-Chiang alliance and attached himself to the "father-in-law" Feng Yuxiang for the third time.
Map of the situation of the Great War in the Central Plains.
When the Central Plains War broke out, Shi Yousan was very desperate this time, leading his troops to defeat Chiang's army many times, and even had the opportunity to capture Chiang Kai-shek alive at Liuhe Station. But as the war progressed, the anti-Chiang alliance was gradually at a disadvantage, and seeing that things were not good, Shi Yousan couldn't sit still.
At that time, another military force, the Northeast Army, was already showing signs of supporting Chiang. At this time, Shi Yousan had already faded away from the youthfulness of the first defection, and after receiving the secret report, he did not care about Feng Yuxiang's feelings, and immediately telegraphed to Zhang Xueliang, a fellow villager in the Northeast: "With my brother as an attachment, I will withdraw my troops to the north, obey the Northeast, and be willing to follow the forerunner." Shi Yousan defected "for the fourth time", took the initiative to withdraw from the position, and with Zhang Xueliang telegraphing to support Chiang, leading the Northeast Army into the pass, the anti-Chiang alliance collapsed. Shi Yousan successively "rebelled" Feng Yuxiang three times, and felt sorry for Lao Feng for a minute.
Shi Yousan's defection to Zhang Xueliang was premeditated.
After the bombardment of Nanjing, Shi Yousan was afraid of Chiang Kai-shek's retaliation, so he tried every means to contact Zhang Xueliang, a native of Northeast China. After Zhang Xueliang's mediation, Chiang Kai-shek temporarily let go of his murderous intentions.
In May 1930, Shi Yousan sent a telegram to Zhang Xueliang twice: "If you can cut love, respect the secretary Zhang Yunzhi (Zhang Yunzhi, Shi Yousan's Jilin fellow villager, and Shi Yousan has an old time) to ask for help from his brother, and I can't look forward to it." took the initiative to ask Zhang Xueliang to install eyeliner in the army.
Chiang Kai-shek won the Central Plains War and nominally unified the whole country, and only his fellow villagers in the Northeast could protect himself, so Shi Yousan hugged Zhang Xueliang's thighs and flattered him to the fullest. In February 1931, Shi You's three relatives went to Shenyang to pay a visit to Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Shaoshuai was also a warm-hearted person, recruiting workers without reading resumes or doing background adjustments, not only helped the villagers solve the problem of the establishment of six divisions, but also allocated 700,000 military funds per month to help Shi raise soldiers.
But Zhang Xueliang never expected that the story of the farmer and the snake would happen to him, and it would ......come so quickly
Northeast people are hospitable, Zhang Xueliang saw Shi You's three big people come to Shenyang for a trip, and he did his best to make the friendship of the landlord, during which he arranged all kinds of banquets, and stayed for more than 50 days. Zhang Xueliang's kindness, in the eyes of the suspicious Shi Yousan, was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart. Isn't this to detain me and annex my ranks? The tossing and turning of the night made him more and more determined the more he thought about it, and Shi Yousan began to resent Zhang Xueliang.
Under the protection of Zhang Xueliang, Shi Yousan seized more than 30 counties in northern Henan and southern Hebei, while running his own small kingdom, on the other hand, he secretly contacted the surrounding big brother Han Fuyu, Faqiu Zhonglang general Sun Dianying and other small warlords, in a vain attempt to divide North China and compete with Jiang and Zhang. Only a year later, Shi Yousan felt that the opportunity had come.
In May 1931, Wang Jingwei formed the Guangzhou National **, and soon sent people to contact Shi Yousan to jointly oppose Chiang, and it was the same set of officials who gave money. Shi Yousan had planned to rebel against Zhang, especially when he learned that Zhang Xueliang was seriously ill or had died in Beijing, so he hit it off with Guangzhou. Shi Yousan's shameless behavior of "having milk is a mother" even despised his own Xiaobi Guangyuan (Shi Yousan's young proprietor when he was an apprentice in the grain store, and at this time he was led by Shi to serve as a senator in the Shi Ministry), and persuaded him not to rebel. But how could Shi Yousan listen to persuasion, and secretly buried Zhang Yunzhi, a fellow villager sent by Zhang Xueliang, alive.
In July 1931, Shi Yousan launched the "fifth" defection and sent a telegram in Shunde to ask for Zhang. But this time, Shi Yousan miscalculated and lost all his capital.
As early as June, Zhang Xueliang noticed Shi Yousan's abnormality and secretly transferred 3 infantry brigades + 2 artillery regiments to enter the customs. After Shi Yousan begged for Zhang, many generals in the Shi Department disagreed in their hearts, and even the eldest brother Han Fuyu sent a telegram to persuade him to rein in the precipice, but the matter has come to this point, no matter how much Shi Yousan regrets it, he has to go north. Shi Yousan loves divination in everything, and this time is no exception.
There are rats waiting for tigers, tigers do not dance when they are sick, rats dance first, and tigers are not as good as rats." Such words made Shi Yousan quite excited, and he was full of confidence that his "rat" could win against the "Northeast Tiger" Zhang Xueliang. But Shi's chief of staff, Tang Bangzhi, couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "The little mouse dares to fight the tiger, even if the tiger is sick, he will eventually die in the tiger's mouth."
Sure enough, Chiang Kai-shek's ** Army and Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army attacked from both sides, and deeply "reviewed" the combat strength of Shiyou's Third Division, and in only half a month, more than 60,000 people from Shiyou's Third Division were annihilated. Shi Yousan led the remnants of his army to flee to Han Fuyu, the eldest brother who was the chairman of Shandong Province at the time. ** When the warlords are in the melee, most of them will abide by the unspoken rule of leaving each other's lives, after all, they will be good to see each other in the future. With Zhang Xueliang's acquiescence, Shi Yousan was able to survive and lay dormant in Jinan alone.
In the next few years, Shi Yousan experienced a low ebb in his life. On the one hand, he became a bare-bones commander, with no soldiers and no guns, and seemed to be protected by Big Brother, but in fact it was also a kind of imprisonment; On the other hand, Han Fuyu, who was from the same background as himself, was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the chairman of Shandong Province because of his success in the Central Plains War, becoming a prince of one party, which made Shi both envious and jealous.
Once again, there is nowhere to put the restless mind. But looking at China at that time, all the powerful people have been offended by Shi, who is willing to help them make a comeback?
Since no one in a huge China wants to be this father-in-law, then simply recognize a "foreign father". Yes, Shi Yousan was aiming at the Japanese who were eyeing him, and the two sides hit it off.
In 1932, under the arrangement of the Japanese, Shi Yousan left Jinan to live in Tianjin. With the funding of the Japanese, Shi You's three major gangsters wantonly encircled bandits, ruffians and stragglers, and gradually pulled up a Hebei security regiment to act as a Japanese attack. After the "918" incident, Shi Yousan saw the strength of the Japanese and strengthened his belief that the Japanese would invade China.
In 1935, Song Zheyuan, one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Northwest Army, served as the chairman of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, perhaps because he didn't want Shi Yousan to become an unstable factor on his own territory, or he really wanted to pull Shi Yousan and didn't want to see his old comrades-in-arms become traitors.
After the 77 Incident, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way, and Shiyou's 3rd Division was expanded into the 181st Division, staying in North China to resist the Japanese invaders. Objectively, Shi Yousan still had merit in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. On January 31, 1938, Xinhua** published the article "Today's Shi Yousan", which specifically reported on the changes in Shi Yousan's attitude towards Japan and his contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan. In order to form a broad anti-Japanese national united front, the Communist Party of China also threw an olive branch to Shi Yousan, who also stayed behind the battlefield. Under the influence of a series of political workers, Shi Yousan began to unite with the Communist Party, and even shouted the anti-Japanese slogan of "We must fight back to the Northeast". In 1938, Shi Yousan was promoted to the commander of the 69th Army and hired Zhang Youyu, a member of the Communist Party, as the director of the Political Department of the Army.
History gave Shi Yousan a chance to rewrite his fate, but he once again refused.
As the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the stage of stalemate, the stubborn relationship between the enemy and us quietly changed. On the one hand, Chiang Kai-shek gradually turned the spearhead to the anti-Japanese base areas, constantly attracting many forces to create friction; On the other hand, Shi Yousan gradually expanded his team through mediation, and the idea of secession of the king was germinated, and he also wanted to attack the surrounding anti-Japanese base regimes. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek once again wooed Shi Yousan, who had a certain strength, and appointed him as commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army, deputy commander of the Jicha Theater, and chairman of Chahar Province. From 1939 to February 1940 alone, Shi Yousan killed more than 700 commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army and progressive masses by burying them alive. Zhang Youyu, director of the Political Department, was more vigilant and escaped in advance, otherwise he would not have escaped the fate of being buried alive.
The head of the Japanese secret service, Doi Hihara, once openly said: "General Shi Yousan is our old friend." While gaining the support of Chiang Kai-shek, Shi Yousan continued to secretly communicate with his "old friend" Japanese, exchange information, and jointly attack the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.
In the Henan battlefield in 1940, the puppet army's infantry and Tan coordination.
This time, Shi Yousan got into trouble with someone he couldn't afford to mess with.
In February 1940, the ** Military Commission ordered: "Liu Deng resolutely exterminate Shi Yousan and all reactionaries." Immediately, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army gathered 25 regiments of troops and successively launched the Southern Hebei Campaign and the Weidong Campaign, annihilating more than 5,000 people in the Shi Department in total and severely damaging the three main forces of Shi You. The remnants of it were rescued by the Japanese and were able to escape.
A military strike is not enough, this poisonous snake must be struck.
On the battlefield, from May to July 1940, the Eighth Route Army sent three telegrams to Chiang Kai-shek, exposing Shi You's treason against the enemy three times, and publishing three telegrams in the "New China News", causing an uproar in the whole country.
At this point, in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, Shi Yousan, who was like a rat crossing the street, had lost his value. The old hatred of the bombardment of Nanjing City is vivid, and Chiang Kai-shek's murderous intent has resurged, and Shi Yousan may not have realized that his road has come to an end.
Regarding Shi Yousan's death, it is inseparable from Gao Shuxun mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Gao Shuxun is Shi Yousan's sworn brother and the general of the Northwest Army who was picked up by Shi Yousan. When Shi Yousan was still a company commander, Gao Shuxun was his adjutant, and the relationship between the two can be seen. Shi Yousan shouldn't have thought that he would also be defected by his subordinates one day.
Gao Shuxun (third from right) and *** first from left) and other commanders and fighters of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
Shi Yousan's 39th Group Army was under the jurisdiction of the 69th Army and the New Eighth Army, and the commander of the New Eighth Army was Gao Shuxun. Although Shi Yousan was the commander-in-chief of the group army, only the 69th Army actually obeyed his orders, and Gao Shuxun's New Eighth Army was only nominally controlled by Shi.
It is no accident that Shi and Gao broke up.
First of all, although Gao Shuxun was born in the old warlord, he has his own integrity in the face of national righteousness, and hates Shi Yousan's traitorous behavior of defecting to the enemy.
Shi Yousan once telegraphed to Gao Shuxun that if he encountered a Japanese plane during the march, he would use a red cloth to spread the word "soil" on the ground to avoid bombing. Shi Yousan thought he was very smart, not only showing that he had surrendered to the enemy, but also warning his old subordinates that there was only a dead end if they did not surrender. Gao Shuxun tore it up after seeing the telegram and scolded: "I'd rather be an outlaw than a thief."
Moreover, because of the control of the army, Shi Yousan has always wanted to eat Gao Shuxun's new Eighth Army.
Time was set to 1940, as the contradiction between the two gradually deepened, Shi Yousan tried to get rid of Gao Shuxun by the hands of the Japanese army, and he took advantage of the fisherman to annex Gaobu. Shi Yousan betrayed the location of Gao Shuxun's military headquarters to the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, and then the New Eighth Army was raided by the Japanese army, losing more than 2,000 troops, and Gao Shuxun escaped. Since then, Shi Yousan has designed to trap Gao Shuxun many times, causing the New Eighth Army to lose its troops and generals, and Shi Yousan even wanted to trap Gao Shuxun on the grounds that he took a concubine, but was finally escaped by Gao Zhi.
Just when Gao Shuxun couldn't bear it anymore, Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered Wei Lihuang to get rid of Shi Yousan. At this time, Shi Yousan had actually defected to the Japanese army and led the remnants to be stationed in Puyang, Henan. Wei Lihuang telegraphed Gao Shuxun to commit rape, and designed to lure Shi Yousan to go to Gao Shuxun's station Liuxiatun on the grounds of mediating the conflict between Gao and Shi. Before Shi Yousan could openly defect to the Japanese, his "defection" life came to an end.
Finally, let's talk about Shi Yousan's 69th Army. After Shi Yousan's death, his brother Shi Youxin was also executed, and most of the officers and soldiers of the 69th Army were willing to accept the reorganization to continue to resist the Japanese, and only Shi Youxin's confidant Wen Dahai led a regiment to surrender to the Japanese army.
The Feng warlords, from the big leader Feng Yuxiang to the generals at all levels, almost all have their own history of defection, which can be called a "turbid current" in the first history. And Shi Yousan is the benchmark figure in the case of the defection of the Feng warlords.
Speaking of Shi Yousan, it reminds me of Sun Desheng, the cavalry company commander in "Bright Sword", although he is a fictional character, the character is vividly portrayed and left a deep impression on the audience.
Sun Desheng almost starved to death when he was twelve years old, but he was fortunately taken in by Shi Yousan and has been in Shi Yousan's army. Shi Yousan defected to the enemy as a traitor, so Sun Desheng switched to Li Yunlong's new group. Sun Desheng has such a classic line in the play:
Regiment commander, political commissar, I, Sun Desheng, am not a person who does not repay his kindness, he joined the army at the age of twelve, and fought in the Eastern and Western Wars for more than ten years. ”
I was injured twice during the Central Plains War, and I can be regarded as worthy of Shi Yousan's life-saving grace, but this time, let me be a traitor, I will never be! ”
My Sun Desheng doesn't have any great skills, and I don't want to be promoted and get rich in this life, since I am a soldier, I should be a soldier who is not afraid of death, the country is in trouble, and we are not on the top of the army. ”
