Since the beginning of the Nanchang Uprising, the party leaders have experienced many dangerous battles, whether it is a crisis on the battlefield or assassinations in the rearBut for ***, an assassination in Yan'an in 1937 made *** remember deeply, and even called this distress the most dangerous.
What really happened then? Why can *** be so hard to remember, Yan'an's security force is very strong, why can ** assassinate here, what is the real conspiracy behind this?
Today, I will take you into that elaborate assassination.
The Xi'an Incident began with the assassination
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the mood of the national anti-Japanese war was high, but at this timeChiang Kai-shek, however, thought that he must first secure the interior before committing to the outside world, and still made all kinds of moves against our partyThis move was dissatisfied by Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and other patriotic generals, who repeatedly persuaded Chiang Kai-shek to focus on the overall situation, but at this time Chiang Kai-shek was very determined to destroy the Red Army first, on the one hand, the enemy is current, on the other hand is internal friction, and finally Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng jointly launched the Xi'an Incident. Forced Chiang Kai-shek to unite with the Red Army to resist Japan.
Although the Xi'an Incident was resolved peacefully, there is still a difficult task in front of our party, that isNegotiating with the Kuomintang, this task fell to the head of the Kuomintang.
The atmosphere of the negotiations at this time was very delicate, because after the Xi'an Incident, Chiang Kai-shek directly detained Zhang Xueliang after returning to Nanjing. At this time, *** will negotiate againNo one was sure that Chiang Kai-shek would regret it, and the trip was full of uncertainty and danger.
But for the sake of the united front, ** resolutely went forward.
WithHe was accompanied by more than 20 people, including Chen Youcai, Among them, there are the founding general Zhang Yunyi and the founding lieutenant general Kong Shiquan, in order to ensure safety, ** also specially sent a reinforced platoon escort, for the itinerary of *** and others, the security work has naturally made full preparations, and the people in the staff office have also analyzed the trip, thinking that Chiang Kai-shek has decided to cooperate with the anti-Japanese resistance after the Xi'an incident, and should not take any big action now.
Moreover, the route passed through the outposts of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, of course, there were no obstacles. The only thing to worry about is the bandits, but now that the hand-to-hand clearance is being organized, the chances of jumping out are not great.
The operation was strictly confidential, even those involved did not know what to do the next day, and the people and vehicles involved in the operation were monitored.
It was originally planned for April 24thThree cars set off at the same time, the first one was a reinforced platoon, the last one was the accompanying guards and communicators, and the middle one was more than 20 people such as ***
But at that time, there were still some issues about the negotiation that were not discussed, so on April 24, I let the other two cars go first and waitOn the 25th, after the talks, *** waited for 25 people to set off
After breakfast that day, due to the secrecy of the mission, * could not send them in person, so I could only watch them leave in front of the cave and before getting into the car's adjutant Chen Youcai, worried that there would be an accident on the road, so he changed his clothes with *** and dressed up as ***, maybe what he didn't know was that it was precisely because of his move that ** was safe and sound.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, ** and his group left Yan'an, and the truck was bumpy on the mountain road.
**Sitting in the driver's seat with Chen Youcai, Chen Youcai was very alert along the way, and a pair of eyes were always aimed outside. Sitting in the back were the comrades of the special service department, platoon commander Chen Guoqiao and his comrades-in-arms, chatting and laughing all the way, excited about their trip to Xi'an.
Most of them were old Red Army soldiers who participated in the Long March, coming out of the snow-capped mountains and meadows. In their memory, they relied on a pair of legs to travel, and this was the first time they had traveled in a car
At the back of the car stood guard Liu Jiuzhou, who was also his first time caring, and he was very excited, but he showed the quality of a security guard. He watched the trees and houses on the side of the road quickly retreat, a little worried. The worry is that the vehicle is too bumpy, and if an accident occurs, it is not easy to fight back.
Thrilling assassination, four people survived
In the excitement and anxiety of the soldiers, the truck passed through the 30-mile paved section of the Red Army and entered the Laoshan Mountains. This place is still in the Yan'an area, the terrain is rugged, the mountain road is narrow, this place is very suitable for ambush, and the people in the car also understand this terrain, and they are secretly vigilant. And the driver is also speeding up, intending to pass quickly, as long as they pass here, they will arrive at the area of Ganquan County, which is the first station, and it will be a lot safer.
But before they could speed up and rush out, there was a banging sound，"Gunshots"Veteran Zhang Yunyi quickly made a judgment. He immediately checked his surroundings and the location of the truck.
At this time, the first reaction was that Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to assassinate him, but then he thought that in the current tense situation, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to risk the anger of the people to have internal friction again, so he dispelled this idea.
Because this negotiation is related to the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, it is of great significance, so I immediately asked the driver to break through quickly, as long as I passed this pass, the rest of the journey was in the ** station, which was very safe.
The driver, Lao Li, also knew that the situation was urgent, so he stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle moved forward quickly, but was forced to stop before he could go far.
It turned out,The enemy also thought of this, and they dug a ditch on the road. The car was too fast, and rushed directly into the ditch and rolled over.
At this moment, the enemy's machine guns immediately opened fire on the car, and the truck stopped on the road and became a target for sitting and waiting. Bullets rained down on the car for a while, the wheels went flat, the windshield shattered. DivisionJi Lao Li was shot several times and fell backwards on the steering wheel.
After the truck was hit in a ditch, the right door was blown openImmediately got off the truck, he did not forget the order: "Get out of the car, disperse, organize a counterattack." ”
The comrades in the car jumped down, trying to find a favorable position to fight back. Before Chen Youcai got out of the car, he was shot in the leg. Then, he ordered several guards to cover the evacuation of *** and Zhang Yunyi, and then left with his own people to intercept them.
Seeing him in a tuxedo commanding the crowd, the enemy who thought it was *** glared angrily, and all the bullets immediately came at him。He knew that the enemy mistook him for ***, but wasn't that exactly why he was dressed?
Only then did Chen You know that attracting a little more enemies would increase the chance of escape。He used the luggage on the car as a cover to launch**, but it didn't take long for the enemy's bullets to hit him, but he didn't care, and continued to direct the soldiers to start a counterattack. Although the soldiers were armed with short guns, the enemy had the advantage, they had long guns and machine guns, numbering in the hundreds, and the soldiers were undaunted and fought valiantly with short guns.
Zhang Yunyi and Kong Shiquan escorted *** to the woods, although the enemy saw them, and from time to time a few bullets fell near them, but they did not hit them.
They ran for a while, not finding the enemy chasing them, and then continued on until they reached the top of a hill, where no enemy was found to be blocking them. At this time, the three of them stopped to rest.
Soon there were footsteps behind them, and the three of them were secretly on guard, and only when they finally found out that it was the soldier Cao Hongdu.
When he learned about Chen Youcai and several sacrificed personnel, he was very sad, and he came to a hillside and looked at the battlefield. At this time, a gunshot could be heard, and Zhou looked in that direction for a long time without speaking.
Zhang Yunyi knew that he was still in danger, and the enemy's encirclement and suppression troops might be coming. Then he said to ***".It seems that it was not the regular army that ambushed us, it was a gang of bandits, Vice Chairman Zhou, it's not safe here now, let's go back to Yan'an as soon as possible. ”
Then they hurried towards Yan'an.
At this time, Chen Youcai has been sacrificed, Chen Guoqiao took over the command of the battle, although he was worried about the safety of ***, but he also knew that he had to stay to block the enemy, in fact, the remaining few guards, knowing that it was difficult to go back today, were ready to sacrifice, although stubbornly resisted the enemy's attack,
But in terms of terrain and numbers, more and more soldiers fell, and finally Chen Guoqiao died
Soon, there were no more gunshots where the trucks were parked. The bodies of the guards lay around the truck.
The enemy rushed down the hill and went straight to Chen Youcai's side. Their purpose is clear, and that is for ***
They searched Chen Youcai's body and found a *** in his coat pocket. It was determined that Chen Youcai was ***, but the hateful thing was that the enemy stabbed Chen Youcai a few times before leaving.
Return safely and find the real culprit
When Yan'an learned that *** had been attacked, she immediately panicked. MediumHuang Lin, the leader of the central inspection team, immediately summoned all the members of the ** inspection team and prepared to go to support immediately。* Immediately send someone to transfer the ** chief's Ma Du to use. Let people ride horses to quickly support the past.
Huang Lin just happened to meet the four people who returned, and then *** them, followed Huang Lin back to the battlefield.
By the time they returned to the battlefield, only the corpses of Red Army soldiers remained on the ground. And the enemy had already run early, and after examination, several other fighters were seriously injured, but they were still breathing, and they were taken to the hospital for treatment, but in the end they also lost the best ** time to die.
Looking at Chen Youcai's corpse, holding a blood-stained blanket in his hand, he cried and said, "He died for me!" ”
In the end, there were more than 20 people, and only four of them survived, After returning to Yan'an, they took a group photo with Zhang Yunyi and Kong Shiquan. Finally, eight strong words were written on the back of **: Laoshan is in distress, and four people are alive.
On the second day of the Laoshan incident, ** took a plane sent by the Kuomintang and flew to Xi'an without fear of hardships and dangers to begin negotiations on cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
In Yan'an, an investigation was launched into the assassinationAccording to Cao Hong's description later, the people who came to block it were a group of bandits, so the reconnaissance minister Xie Ziqun launched an investigation into this incident, because the people in Yan'an had a good impression of the Red Army, and soon made a breakthrough, and they found the local Li Laohan.
Li Laohan was afraid of the bandits' retaliation, so he hesitated very much, and finally after the persuasion of the villagers, Li Laohan said that he happened to be chopping wood on the mountain that dayIt was found that the bandit Li Qingwu and his gang were wandering thereNow that it has been verified that it is this gang of bandits, who leaked the news? This is the crux of the matter, which means that there are agents lurking inside the Red Army, and this is undoubtedly a huge problem.
Xie Ziqun was very worried about this, so he immediately started the internal screening, and thenA very suspicious person was found, and this person was Feng Changdou.
So Xie Ziqun interrogated Feng Changdou overnight, and only then did he know the reason for the incident.
It turned out that Li Qingwu and other bandits had been co-opted by the Red Army. But the Kuomintang sent spies to infiltrate the bandits to plot against them. In the end, Li Qingwu and others took refuge in the Kuomintang.
Our party sent troops to eliminate the bandits, but in the end they escaped. But at that time for revenge,They bribed people into our army, and the person who was bribed was Feng ChangdouWhen he saw three large trucks of the Red Army that day, he immediately knew that this was a big operation.
So the news was revealed to the bandits. Because Li Qingwu had already defected to the Kuomintang at this time, he was very clear about the purpose of his trip, so he planned this matter.
After learning the truth, the Red Army immediately sent people to clear up the bandits, and in the operation of nearly a month, the bandit leader Li Qingwu was captured alive.
At the public trial, the men were immediately executed, and a burial ceremony was held to commemorate the soldiers who died in Laoshan.
Chen Youcai's body was buried at the foot of the Yan'an Pagoda Mountain.
In 1973, he returned to Yan'an and wanted to go to Chen Youcai's tomb to pay respects. Relevant comrades in Yan'an told him that in 1947, Hu Zongnan invaded Yan'an, and the tomb was destroyed and his whereabouts were unknown
When I heard this, I burst into tears and said to several leaders in Yan'an: "Look for it again".
Laoshan in distress,It is precisely because of the desperate resistance of the guards that they have found life for *** and others, and if it were not for their contributions, then history may also be rewritten.
Behind every major historical event, there are many little people behind the foreshadowing, especially under the great changes unseen in a century, it is with these people's fearlessness of hardships and dangers that they can come out of today's broad road, what do you think about this?
