The news of the chairman's second inspection of the Inner Armed Forces was quickly sent to the Inner Armed Forces through secret channels, but this news was only known to Political Commissar Luo except for Han Yunhua, and even the telegraph operator who was responsible for transmitting and receiving telegrams was given a gag order.

The chairman's trip north to Saibei is good news for Han Yunhua, which shows that the Party Central Committee still trusts the Nei Gu Military Region, otherwise the chairman would not have taken the risk of inspecting Saibei at this time. You must know that even in the past few years, the chairman has only been out of Yan'an once, and that was only done at the strong invitation of Han Yunhua.

Danshi Han Yunhua still did not dare to relax in the slightest, because there have been many political movements in history, and each time there was a river of blood, the most serious two were Wang Ming's great purge in the Central Soviet Region and Zhang Guotao's purge campaign in the Red Fourth Front Army, which seriously shook the party's foundation.

Although it cannot be compared with Stalin's purge in the Soviet Union, Danshi can find that the central purge was not much smaller than the Soviet one's purge when comparing the strength of the Soviet Union and the Red Army at that time. In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, the Central Military Commission confirmed the list of 36 proletarian military strategists after two deliberations. These 36 people, it should be said that many of them are familiar to the people, they are the leaders of the republic, marshals, generals, etc. Among them, 8 were martyrs who died or died during the war, Ye Tǐng, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng, and Luo Binghui, who are more familiar to people; As for Xu Jishen, Cai Shenxi, Duan Dechang, and Zeng Zhongsheng, who were once senior commanders of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, some people may feel unfamiliar. This is due to the fact that they died earlier and were "killed by mistake". And the reason why he was wrongfully killed was because of those huge anti-rebellion campaigns.

Speaking of the anti-rebellion work in the Central Soviet Region, people who have experienced that period of history all talk about the tiger sè change. The mistake of enlarging the rebellion during the period of the Central Soviet District is still a secret to the present. However, the development of history to the present day truly and comprehensively reflects the suppression of rebellion in the Central Soviet Region, and on the contrary, it can make people have a sober understanding of that period of history. Although Han Yunhua was not an aboriginal of this era, Danshi still knew a little about the two consecutive purging against Han Yunhua.

Han Yunhua actually didn't know much about what the previous purge of the Central Soviet Region was. He only knew that it was the anti-AB regiment and the anti-social democratic party. As soon as I talk about Sifan, I have to talk about this AB group, what is the AB group? To make this matter clear, we have to start from the big ** period. If you expand it and say that it was three days and three nights, it will not be finished, but in short, this AB regiment is a product of the first period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

In the first domestic period, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party achieved a win-win situation through cooperation. ** Party membership has not only risen in a straight line, but has also developed a considerable number of members within the KMT. This good situation of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party made the Kuomintang rightists feel very uneasy. After the First Northern Expedition, the Kuomintang New Right, represented by Chiang Kai-shek, panicked even more. Under these circumstances, from November to December 1926, in order to usurp the Kuomintang Jiangxi Provincial Party Department, which was supported by the Kuomintang leftists and **, Chiang Kai-shek specially planned and established an ** anti-people reactionary organization, named the AB League. That is, the first two letters of the English word Anti-blsevik are composed, which means anti-Bolshevik. After the establishment of the AB Regiment, with the connivance of Chiang Kai-shek's leadership, it created a series of bloody cases of suppressing workers and peasants and massacring workers' and peasants' leaders. The famous "March Sixth" massacre of Chen Zanxian, chairman of the Ganzhou Trade Union Committee, was committed by the AB regiment, and under the sabotage of the AB regiment, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Department of the Kuomintang was quickly usurped by the AB regiment.

The perverse actions of the AB regiment aroused the indignation of the Jiangxi ** people and the left wing of the Kuomintang. In order to defend the shengli fruit of the national **, on April 2, 1927, under the leadership of Zhu De and others, the ** people in Jiangxi launched a fierce march against the AB regiment, and completely mourned the AB regiment planned by Chiang Kai-shek, and the AB regiment disintegrated and ceased to exist.

Originally, the history of the AB regiment should have ended here, but in the war years, it is impossible and impossible for China to know whether there are any remnants of the AB regiment. In addition, in order to compete for power and profit, the various factions of the Kuomintang also used the destruction of the AB regiment to attack Chiang Kai-shek, which made the ** feel that the AB regiment still existed.

As for the merits and demerits of the Great Purges in the Central Soviet Region, Han Yunhua did not want to evaluate, there were indeed a lot of people killed in Danshi's Great Purge, as far as Han Yunhua knew, after the establishment of the Red Army Suppression Committee, in just one month, the entire Red Army had more than 40,000 people, arrested about 4,400 people in the AB Regiment, killed more than 2,000 people, accounting for more than one-tenth of the total, and then killed dozens of AB Regiment commanders. Yongxin County successively beat the 6th county party committee into an AB regiment, and only one was allowed to surrender, and the rest were all killed...,

The Great Purge in the Soviet area caused the most and most tragic unjust cases of the Party before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and how many loyal souls became unjust souls. In the end, it was Zhou Enlai who made up his mind that he must correct the expansion of the rebellion, which made this catastrophe come to an emergency brake. Zhou presided over a meeting of the Central Bureau of the Soviet District to form a resolution, which pointed out: "In the past, the AB League and all the anti-** factions had an incorrect understanding, and the AB League was enlarged, thinking that all the landlord remnants and rich peasant elements could be regarded as the AB League, thinking that all elements from different classes could be AB League, and linking the executors of the Party's erroneous line and the erroneous Party members and the masses with the problem of the AB League, and even developed to the point that even the workers and peasants could not be trusted; So I felt that the AB regiment could not be cleared. With this mistake in understanding, there will be an extremely serious mistake in the method of the struggle of the AB regiment, simplifying the struggle against the AB regiment and narrowing it to the scope of capture, interrogation, and disposal of the "fighting AB regiment", while neglecting to actively consolidate the ** forces. What was particularly lacking was the ideological struggle and educational work of the anti-AB regiment, which developed into an extremely dangerous view that the suppression of the anti-rebellion was the center of all its work. In the fight against the AB regiment, they relied exclusively on the confessions of prisoners and relied on rò punishment, which led to the idealism of the anti-rebellion work. …… The resolution stipulates that the Party organizations at all levels in the Soviet districts must discuss and implement it as soon as they receive it. ”

Under the direct leadership of Zhou, the Central Red Army established the State Political Security Bureau. Li Kenong was sent to lead a working group to Shicheng, Guangchang, Yandu, Xingguo and other places to carefully examine the large number of anti-** suspects detained in these places, and to rehabilitate all the wrongful cases of the AB League, the Social Democratic Party, and the reorganization faction, so that the wronged ** people can see the light of day again. Later, Li Kenong was appointed director of the Red Army Security Bureau, rehabilitated some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the Red Army, and brought the political defense work into the orbit under the leadership of the ** party committee.

In fact, the current purge of rebellion in the Central Soviet Region was not the most serious mistake, and the most serious was the great purge of the Red Fourth Front Army. In the land war, there were six major Soviet regions in the country, the two largest of which were the Jiangxi Central Soviet Region and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region.

In April 1931, the ** Central Committee sent Zhang Guotao, Chen Changhao, and Shen Zemin to the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet District, with Zhang Guotao as secretary of the Central Bureau of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet District and chairman of the Military Commission, and Chen Changhao as secretary of the Central Bureau of the Young Communist Party of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet District, with full authority to lead the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet District.

Zhang Guotao must be well known to everyone that this person has participated in the first congress of the party's founding and served as a member of the Politburo, and his qualifications are very old. Chen Changhao was 25 years old at the time, had studied in the Soviet Union, and had strong organizational skills. Shen Zemin is the younger brother of the writer Contradictory and also studied in the Soviet Union. The arrival of these people completely changed the fate of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region. Soon after Zhang Guotao's arrival, he carried out a comprehensive transformation of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Special Committee and the Red Army. The banners of "Bolshevik transformation" and "intensified suppression" were raised. In fact, it was to exclude the former leaders of the Soviet districts, so as to achieve their own unified and absolute leadership. He first reorganized the Red 4th Army, took down the disobedient army commander Kuang Jixun, and replaced him with Xu Xiangqian, who had less seniority. Then he found an excuse to remove Zeng Zhongsheng, and Chen Changhao was appointed as the political commissar of the Red 4th Army. Then, Zhang Guotao raised the butcher's knife of rebellion and swung it at all the Red officers and soldiers who stood in the way of his seizure of supreme power.

In August 1931, someone sent a letter to Xu Jishen, commander of the Red 12th Division, which contained a letter written by the Kuomintang spy Zeng Guangqing to surrender. Xu Jishen immediately sent the letter to Xu Xiangqian and Zeng Zhongsheng, who believed that this was a plot by the Kuomintang and reported the letter to the Central Bureau. When Zhang Guotao saw it, if he got a treasure, he immediately launched an investigation into Xu Jishen. Soon, the Security Bureau "cracked" a mutiny, and under severe torture, the parties confessed that Xu Jishen, Zhou Weijiong, Xiong Shouxuan and others were involved. Zhang Guotao immediately ordered the arrest of all persons involved in the "case." Soon, Xu Jishen, commander of the Red 12th Division, Zhou Weijiong, commander of the Red 11th Division, Xiong Shouxuan, director of the Political Department of the Red 11th Division, Li Ronggui, director of the staff of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Military Commission, Ke Boyuan, chief of staff of the Red 10th Division, Jiang Jingtang, former political commissar of the Red 33rd Division, Wang Peiwu, director of the Military Political Department, Chen Hanxiang, secretary general, Pang Yongjun, political commissar of the Red 12th Division, Wu Jingchi, successor political commissar, Xiao Fang, deputy commander of the Red 12th Division, Cheng Shaoshan, deputy commander of the Red 10th Division, Fan Tuo, chief of staff, Guan Shuyi, director of the Political Department, Pan Guanfo, head of the Red 28th Regiment, Ding Chao, deputy head of the 28th Regiment, Gao Jiandou, commander of the 30th Red Regiment, Feng Jun, political commissar, Wang Ming, head of the 35th Red Regiment, Wei Mengxian, chief of staff of the 12th Red Division and commander of the 36th Red Regiment, were arrested one after another.

The Security Bureau continued to torture confessions, tortured, knelt on the bench, poured chili pepper water, and sat on tiger chairs, and many people were tortured but had no choice but to confess, so more and more people were implicated and more and more people were arrested. Soon the massacre began. In Baique Garden, Guangshan, Henan, famous generals of the Red Fourth Army, Xu Jishen, Zhou Weijiong, Xiong Shouxuan, Jiang Jingtang, Wang Peiwu, Chen Hanxiang, Wu Jingchi, Xiao Fang, Guan Shuyi, Pang Yongjun, Cheng Shaoshan, Ke Baiyuan, Wei Mengxian, Pan Guanfo, and a large number of battalion and company-level cadres were brutally killed. Among them, Xu Jishen was tried in public, and he argued on the basis of reason, but was tied to a horse and dragged to the ground. In the end, the Security Bureau secretly strangled him and Zhou Weijiong to death in a cell. Xu Jishen was 30 years old at the time, and Zhou Weijiong was 26 years old. Xu Jishen's wife, Wang Wangūn, was the secretary of the division's political department, who was pregnant at the time, and was also secretly killed. Zhang Guotao took a look at the digging out so many hidden "anti-**", and his murderous intent was even heavier. He ordered a review and purge of the entire Soviet region, and that all those who came from the White Army, whether they were uprisings or surrenders, should be arrested; All those who came from landlord and rich peasant families, regardless of their performance, were to be arrested; Anyone who is an intellectual, or even has read a book for a few years, will be arrested and examined. The scope of the rebellion is getting bigger and bigger, expanding from the army to the localities. Zheng Xingrui, vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Special Administrative Region, Chen Qi, political commissar of the Red 10th Division, leaders of the Jute Uprising and founders of the Northeast Hubei Soviet Region Xu Pengren, Dai Kemin, Cao Xuekai, Chen Dinghou, Wang Xiusong, Shu Chuanxian, leader of the Liuhuo Uprising and founder of the Western Anhui Soviet District, Xu Baichuan, commander of the 1st Central Independent Division, Wang Xiaoting, commander of the 2nd Central Independent Division, Fang Ying, secretary of the Western Anhui Provincial Committee, Liao Yeqi, former commander of the Independent Brigade of the 1st Red Army, Luo Binggang, political commissar of the Red 28th Regiment, Zha Ziqing, head of the Red 29th Regiment, Li Xishi, political commissar of the Red 32nd Regiment, Jiang Ziying, Huang Gang, the head of the Red 33rd Regiment, Wang Changxian, the successor head of the regiment, and Ren Nan, the head of the Red 38th Regiment, were all arrested and killed. Of the cadres of the 4th Red Army and 12 regiments, only 2 survived, and some cadres at the regimental, battalion, and company levels were killed three or four times. In the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Red Army, a total of 17 cadres at the army level, 35 at the division level, and 44 cadres at the regiment level were eliminated. During the nearly three-month 'rebellion', more than 2,500 Red Army commanders and fighters were eliminated. At that time, the Red 4th Army was only 15,000 people, and one-sixth of it was wiped out...,

At that time, it was a red-eyed killing, and later, Yijing reached the point of madness. As long as someone "may" be a "reorganizationist", "AB group" or "third party", they must be arrested and killed. Whoever asks "whether there is any evidence" is a "reorganization faction" or a "spy" should be killed. When a few young people are together, they become a "love committee" and are killed; Say a few words and kill them; The muzzle of the warrior's gun is touched with dirt and killed; The rice bag is broken, killed. To save bullets, rows of people were often hacked to death with broadswords and stabbed to death with spears. Others were buried alive by hundreds of people. Killed, caught, caught, stubble, stubble after stubble.

Countless Red officers and soldiers and the ** masses did not die under the guns of the enemy, but died under the swords of their own people. The bones inside and outside the White Bird Garden are like mountains, and the blood is flowing like a river. The massacre lasted for more than three months, and with the exception of a few people such as Zeng Zhongsheng, Kuang Jixun, and Xu Xiangqian, the founding fathers of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region were almost killed. During the period of the Agrarian War, excessive purging within the Soviet zone and the Red Army was a common phenomenon. Like Zhou Weijiong, who was mistakenly killed, he killed Xu Qixu and Xu Ziqing, the fathers of the Shangnan Uprising, because of partiality and belief. Zhang Guotao's massacre, in addition to the consideration of eliminating internal enemies, was more to realize the ambition of monopolizing leadership and excluding dissidents.

In July 1932, the Kuomintang carried out the fourth "encirclement and suppression" of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet region. After more than three months of hard fighting, the Red Fourth Front Army, which was formed by the combination of the Red 4th Army and the Red 25th Army, did not repel the enemy and had to withdraw from the Soviet area and move. After three thousand miles of westward expedition, he finally arrived in northern Sichuan. However, the Red 25th Army and the Red 28th Army, which remained in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui to persist in the struggle, continued to suppress the rebellion under the chairmanship of Shen Zemin, a representative of the Central Committee. Liu Shiqi, former commander of the 27th Red Army, Liao Rongkun, deputy commander of the 25th Red Army and commander of the 73rd Division, Cheng Qibō, director of the Political Department of the division, Ye Qiwen, commander of the 6th Independent Division, Wang Mingguo, commander of the 8th Route Guerrilla Division, Wu Baocai, guerrilla commander in northwest Anhui, and Jiang Qiushun, political commissar of the 28th Red Army, were arrested and killed one after another. As a result, the Red Army in northeastern Hubei was greatly weakened. Shen Zemin died soon after, and the Red 25th Army, under the leadership of Xu Haidong and Wu Huanxian, began the Long March to northern Shaanxi. After Zhang Guotao, Chen Changhao, and Xu Xiangqian led the Red Fourth Front Army to northern Sichuan, they held a meeting at Xiaohekou. Zeng Zhongsheng, Kuang Jixun, Yu Dusan, Zhang Qinqiu, and others criticized Zhang Guotao's mistake of wantonly killing people and abandoning the Soviet area. After the Red Fourth Front Army successively defeated the Sichuan Army and opened up the Tong, Nan, and Ba base areas, Zhang Guotao opened another killing ring, arrested Zeng Zhongsheng, removed Zhang Qinqiu, director of the General Political Department of the Red Fourth Front Army, and killed Kuang Jixun, the former commander of the Red Fourth Army, Yu Dusan, the former political commissar of the Red Fourth Army, Wang Zhenhua, chief of the Propaganda Section of the Front Army, and Shu Yizhang, chief of staff of the Front Army Headquarters. In order to establish his authority in the newly opened northern Sichuan, Zhang Guotao waved a butcher's knife at the native Red Army in Sichuan. Ren Weizhang, commander of the Red Army's "North Sichuan Independent Division," political commissar Liu Qi, chief of staff Zhang Yimin, director of the division's political department, Wu Zhan, chief of staff of the Red 10th Division, Yang Bai, chief of staff of the Red 73rd Division, Zhao Zhenwu, director of the Political Department of the 73rd Division, Wen Shengshi, political commissar of the Red 217th Regiment, and Chen Shaoqing, political commissar of the Red 218th Regiment, were arrested and killed

These two purges seriously weakened the strength of the Red Army, and the successive crushing defeats of the Red Army were not unrelated. This time, the military region was investigated and confessed by the cadre review team, which led to the death of nearly 100 commanders and fighters, including Liu Mingyuan and others, who were more qualified, which made Han Yunhua shocked. Compared with those first-class families of the older generation, he Han Yunhua is a pink and tender newcomer, Bai Ding, who wants to have qualifications or no qualifications, and has no prestige in the party, and he may naturally disappear as the commander of the military region without the central government's words at all.

What is even more serious is that almost half of the troops in the Inner Folk Ancient Military Region are now composed of rescued Kuomintang prisoners and prisoners of the puppet army who have been turned into prisoners, and these people are not innocent people anywhere, and if this movement becomes a counter-rebellion movement, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, as the commander of the Inner Armed Ancient Military Region, of course, his own affairs are very clear, although the Inner Armed Ancient Military Region is strong in combat and strong, if Danshi compares his qualifications and background, let alone compared with the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions formed by the old foundation of the Red Army, it is much worse than the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The 15,000 people of the Red First Army can kill thousands of people, and Han Yunhua didn't dare to imagine how many of the million-problem army of the Ancient Military Region would be executed, so this time he was scared, and it has been more than three years since he was reborn now, and Han Yunhua felt the crisis for the first time.
