The peasant self-defense forces in southern Henan smashed the guerrilla headquarters in the Henan-Hubei border region, arrested lieutenant general He Zhanghai, and confiscated the guns of the machine gun company, spy company, engineer company, and the first brigade directly under him, and executed on the spot a number of officers and men who had committed many evils and committed serious crimes, including He Fang, the chief adjutant of the evil township, Zhu Yong, the leader of the first brigade, and Ye Zhaolin, the deputy of the team. Although the commander-in-chief He Zhanghai was released later, this incident quickly shook the whole country!

And that's not all, after seizing a large number of weapons from the troops directly under the guerrilla headquarters, the peasant self-defense forces were in great power, and they took advantage of the situation to march northward and directly smash the offices of the chief executives of the four provinces of Sulu, Henan, and Anhui.

Tang Enbo, the chief executive of the four provinces who had been unfavorable for many years, the heroic army commander who was once known as the iron man of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression during the Nankou Campaign, the commander of the Tang Army who led the army in a bloody battle to save the building and won a great victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and Commander Tang, who was free to advance and retreat in the face of tens of thousands of fierce Japanese soldiers with aircraft and artillery, today he actually absconded in disguise disguised as a gang under the threat of a group of peasants armed with hoes and sickles.

The flames of the peasant uprising quickly spread throughout the Central Plains, and everywhere angry peasants armed with shovels, wooden sticks, hoes, and sickles attacked the national army everywhere, attacked the national army garrisons, looted the ammunition and material warehouses, and killed the national officers and soldiers in the townships.

General Jiang Dingwen, director of the Xi'an camp and commander of the First Theater of Operations, didn't even dare to sit in a car in front of the fierce peasant rebels, and actually ran away on a small donkey!

The commander of the theater ran away, Commander Tang ran away, the guerrilla headquarters was attacked, and the flames of revolution were burning everywhere in the Central Plains. However, the cunning and murderous Japanese invaders have not been watching from the sidelines for a moment, and such a major event has happened in the interior of the Central Plains, how could the Japanese criminals who are the most able to seize the opportunity not take advantage of the situation?

In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, on the night of April 17, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army and the 7th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade on the Zhongmu side first crossed the Yellow River from Sanwang, Zhongmu and Fuzhuang, and the 27th Division of the Chinese defenders rose up to fight. The Battle of Yuzhong officially broke out!

The 400,000 men and horses of the eight group armies under the command of Jiang Dingwen in the First Theater were originally used to deal with the Japanese invaders with superior forces, but even if the Japanese invaders were fierce, this battle was difficult and they would not be defeated. However, due to the corruption of the military discipline of the national army, and the people in the townships where they were stationed, the commander of the theater had been driven into the mountains by the peasant rebel army before the war began. Although Commander Tang successfully escaped and returned to his troops, he had lost his sharpness before the war began.

The Chinese side has nearly 400,000 troops; The Japanese invaders dispatched 150,000 troops, more than 200 artillery pieces, and nearly 700 tanks and armored vehicles. Such a large-scale battle should have been a battle in which the two sides lined up their troops, soldier against soldier, and fought against general, using all their skills to fight a big war that shocked the world. However, in the real battle between the two sides, there was a Chinese commander entering the mountains, the general fleeing, and a commander-in-chief guerrilla commander in the Henan-Hubei border region who was captured, captured and released.

The Japanese army went straight to the Central Plains from Zhongmu, Xinxiang, and Xinyang! There was a bloody battle at the head of the mountain on the south bank of the Yellow River, and on the 22nd, the Japanese invaders occupied Zhengzhou, the hinterland of the Central Plains! and captured Xingyang, Bishui, Xinzheng, Weishi and other places. On May 1, the Japanese invaders occupied Xuchang!

On May 21, in Qinjiapo, Shaanxi County, Henan, Li Jiayu, commander-in-chief of the 36th Group Army, was martyred!

This is the second commander-in-chief of the group army to die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan after Zhang Zizhong!

The front line is in a bloody battle, but the peasant uprising behind it is becoming more and more intense, and there is a great danger of annihilating our army with the Japanese invaders on both sides!

"Mother, Xipi! Mingsan is incompetent! Ember is derelict in his duties! These two people had an army of 400,000, but they were easily defeated and lost the Central Plains, and their sins were unforgivable! "The general headquarters of Chongqing, the chairman of the committee slapped the table and was furious! Chen Cheng and He Yingqin on the side lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Mob, mob? Hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten by their own people and fled, shame, shame! Shame! The dignified lieutenant general guerrilla commander was captured and captured by a group of peasants with hoes, what did He Zhanghai eat? What does Mi Wenhe do? What is his Sixty-Ninth Army doing? Do you only drink and gamble for money? The more he scolded, the more angry he became, grabbed the teapot and teacup on the table and fell to the ground, and the atmosphere of the scene became more solemn.

"Report!" The adjutant of the chamberlain came in with a telegram, and was startled when he saw the scene in the office, and he wanted to withdraw but didn't dare, so he stood in the middle of the field with an embarrassed face.

"What's the matter?" The commissioner glared at the adjutant who came in and didn't pick the time, and asked in a gloomy voice.

"A telegram from Miwen and the commander of the 69th Army." The adjutant tried to speak at the same pace as usual. After being in this post for a long time, the adjutant has long had experience in how to deal with the commission, and he must maintain a state of neither humility nor arrogance at all times, so as not to arouse the disgust of the leader.

"This Mi Wenhe, does he know I'm talking about him? Why did I just finish his name and the telegram came so soon? The corners of his mouth twitched, and the committee seemed to want to laugh a little, but he didn't laugh out again, "Read it, listen to what this Mi military commander has to say?" ”

"Chairman Zunjian: The day before yesterday, the 500 Army captured 179 pistols from our unit, and Commander Li of the theater ordered them to be returned. However, Gao Quan, the commander of the 500th Army, actually used 179 scrapped pistols to take advantage of his post to go to the war zone for a meeting, and took advantage of the fact that Huang Wenbo, chief of staff of our department, did not know the inside story, delivered the scrapped pistols, and fraudulently obtained receipts! The meanness of the means and the heinousness of the plot are outrageous! Chairman Mingjian, please severely punish this person who deceived friendly troops, and uphold justice for our 69th Army! Commander of the 69th Army, Mi Wenhe. ”

Mi Wenhe also knew that it was not good to sign the document after drinking, and he did not mention Huang Wenbo's drunkenness in the telegram, but only said that Huang Wenbo did not know the inside story and was deceived by the 500 army of the receipt. As for how he cheated it, he didn't elaborate. However, presumably the veteran Commander Mi has already made up the story and is waiting for the opportunity to sing it to others.

"Haha!" It's rare, the chairman of the committee actually smiled, "This Mi Wenhe actually has a time when he was deceived?" Well scammed! Gao Quan has done a good job and should be praised! This guy who doesn't know how to do a good job in military-civilian relations, and who only knows how to catch strong men and drink heavily, deserves to lie to him! "It turned out that Zheng Guotai used tricks to deceive Huang Wenbo into getting drunk and making an IOU, and the chairman of the committee also knew! It seems that the eyeliner of the military commander is really omnipresent!

"Now that you think about letting me call the shots for him? What did he do earlier? What did he do when the peasant rebels attacked the guerrilla headquarters? What did he do when he arrested He Zhanghai? Now you want me to call the shots for him? Dream it out! At this point, the chairman suddenly stopped, and his eyes rolled twice, as if he suddenly remembered something.

Seeing that the chairman's mood was a little stable, Chen Cheng hurriedly took the opportunity to speak: "Commissioner, since the telegram just mentioned the 500 Army, do you think you should let Gao Quan solve the problem of the peasant rebel army?" ”
