For China people, eight years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has never been a strange topic. Speaking of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, people have to think of "Xi Incident" and General Zhang Xueliang. In the collection of Zhejiang Provincial Archives, there are two letters he wrote to his subordinate He. After reading it, he felt deeply for a long time Zhang Xueliang was the most legendary figure in China in the 20th century, and the "Xi Incident" was the noblest moment in his short political career. 1934 65438+ 10, Zhang Xueliang was recalled to the country and accepted the post of deputy commander-in-chief of "fighting bandits" in the three provinces of Henan, Hubei and Anhui appointed by Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek's anti-people "encirclement and suppression" campaign in Jiangxi was losing ground. Chiang Kai-shek was worried that the Red 25th Army commanded by Xu Haidong in Dabie Mountain, Hubei Province was approaching Wuhan. After Zhang Xueliang was appointed as the deputy commander of "anti-bandits", he transferred the Northeast Army south to participate in "communist suppression". In March, Wuchang Camp was established. Zhang Xueliang called the generals of the Northeast Army to Wuchang for a meeting to discuss the transfer and training of the Northeast Army to the south. The troops transferred to the south include the 67 th Army, the 57 th Army and the 65438 +005 Division. The 57th Army moved to Xiaogan, Songbu, Huang An, Macheng and western Anhui in eastern Hubei, and its military headquarters was located in Songbu, with jurisdiction over 1 1, 108, 109, 120 and 168. In this way, an anti-Japanese army was forced by Chiang Kai-shek into the wrong path of the Red Army's "encirclement and suppression".

He Zhu Guo followed Zhang Xueliang's "communist suppression" and suffered a lot. 1In April, 934, Red 25th Army attacked two battalions of Hebe 109 Division in Shawo area, Guangshan County, southern Henan Province, killing more than 200 people, taking 52 prisoners, and seizing 10 machine guns and 100 rifles, which was the first blow to the Northeast Army. In July, Xu Haidong led the Red 25th Army and defeated the 57th Army 1 15 Division. The Northeast Army has never fought against the Red Army in the past. After this contact, he had a new understanding of the Red Army of Zhu Guo.

After Zhang Xueliang went to Europe to inspect and returned to China, his vision was broadened and his thoughts changed. He believes that the outbreak of World War II is inevitable, and so is Japan's full-scale war of aggression against China. Therefore, he focused on the preparation of the national War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and took some reform measures for the Northeast cavalry. There are seven cavalry divisions in the Northeast Army. 1June, 935, Zhang Xueliang formed the cavalry army with the original seven cavalry divisions and the central cavalry deployed by Chiang Kai-shek, and appointed the commander of the cavalry army, which was responsible for the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 10 divisions of the cavalry. In September of the same year, it was included in the northwest "suppression of the general" sequence. When appointing the commander of the cavalry army, Zhang Xueliang said to He earnestly: "If you don't do it, the Central Committee will definitely send someone else, so we will lose an army and give him an army for nothing." Obviously, they know each other very well. Since then, cavalry has become the main force of Zhang Xueliang.

On September 1935, Mao Zedong and others led the Central Red Army to break through the natural barrier of Lazikou and reach Hadapu. After a short break, the troops continued to advance to the Longdong Plateau and headed straight for northern Shaanxi and the Red Army stationed in northern Shaanxi.

At the same time, the Red 25 Army led by Xu Haidong and others broke through the layers of interception and pursuit of the * * * * Army, and in early September, it joined forces with the Northern Shaanxi Red 26 Army and Yongping Town led by Liu Zhidan. The Central Red Army is about to enter Shaanxi, and the Red 25 Army has joined forces with the Red Army in northern Shaanxi. Chiang Kai-shek thought it was an excellent opportunity to wipe out the Red Army. In order to centrally command the * * * * * Army to "encircle" the Red Army, the National Government officially appointed Jiang as the commander-in-chief of the northwest anti-bandits on June 10, and Zhang Xueliang as the deputy commander-in-chief and acting commander-in-chief. Zhang Xueliang transferred the Northeast Army to Shaanxi to stop the Red Army from entering Shaanxi after the Long March. His cavalry in Zhu Guo was also transferred to Shaanxi. Why don't you want to fight the Red Army for Chiang Kai-shek and transfer the cavalry units to Shaanxi in batches, and delay for half a year before all the cavalry units arrive in Xianyang? By this time, the Red Army had arrived in northern Shaanxi. In the winter of the same year, the Red Army went north and seized all the troops and weapons of the Sixth Division of the Northeast Army Cavalry 16 Regiment in Longnan, and then returned them all, which deeply touched He. At that time, the Red Army took the fight for the Northeast Army as the focus of the national United front work, focusing on political struggle. Near Liupan Mountain, He's Sixth Cavalry Division was called to the battlefield many times. Late at night, they sang songs such as "On the Songhua River" near the division camp, and even developed into a battlefield party. The two sides secretly signed an armistice agreement.

1936 1, Peng and other 20 Red Army generals jointly published the book "The Red Army is willing to unite with the Northeast Army to resist Japan to all the soldiers of the Northeast Army", sincerely pointing out that only anti-Japanese and anti-Chiang is the only way out for the Northeast Army, and they spoke their minds, which had a great response among the soldiers and senior generals of the Northeast Army. 1In August, 936, the anti-Japanese vanguard of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army marched westward into Ningxia to welcome the second and fourth armies to the north to resist Japan. At that time, three divisions of cavalry were stationed in Guyuan, Haiyuan and Tongxin City, and the Red Army intervened. Peng wrote to Commander He, explaining the truth of resisting Japan and saving the nation, asking him to let Haiyuan and Tongxin all withdraw from Guyuan City and its south, and not to disturb the Red Army's anti-Japanese vanguard to help the second and fourth armies go north to resist Japan. When his army moved, the Red Army provided convenience and never attacked. Inspired by China's anti-Japanese national united front policy, how to dispel doubts and negotiate with Zhu Rui, director of the Red Army's political department, paved the way for the three main forces of the Chinese Red Army of workers and peasants to meet successfully. In the same year 10, Li Shouxin, Germany and the king were instigated by the Japanese army to lead the puppet Mongolian army to attack Suiyuan, and Fu led the army to resist. 165438+ 10, the battle of bailing temple started. He resolutely carried out Zhang Xueliang's decision to aid Suiyuan and sent the seventh division to Suiyuan to accept the command of General Fu. Ma Zhanshan, commander of the March in Northeast China, was sent to ride the 6th Division and send troops to Suiyuan.

19361February 12, the "Xi incident" that shocked China and foreign countries broke out. Before and after the "Incident", He Zhu Guo followed Zhang Xueliang, participated in the "Xi Incident", resolutely supported China's correct proposition on the peaceful settlement of the "Xi Incident" and made contributions to the peaceful settlement of the "Xi Incident".

1936101October 29th was Chiang Kai-shek's birthday, and Chiang Kai-shek flew to Luoyang in the name of "avoiding longevity". He accompanied Zhang Xueliang to Luoyang to celebrate Jiang's birthday, and took this opportunity to tell Jiang that "communist suppression" was unpopular and advised him to unite with the Japanese. Zhang Xueliang asked Chiang Kai-shek: "What is the future of China?" Jiang replied: "It is socialism, but it is not socialism." The next day, he accompanied Zhang to Luoyang Military Division to listen to Jiang's lecture to the students of the school. In his speech, Jiang took advantage of the topic and called Zhang Xueliang by name: those who collude with Japan are traitors, and those who collude with * * * are also traitors. Zhang looked nervous after listening and flew back to Ann. On the plane, Zhang said to He, "My wife doesn't know what I'm doing now."

After Zhang Xueliang returned to Ann, he only talked about reorganizing the Northeast Army, not about suppressing the Communist Party, and how to give him the reorganization plan and compilation table of the Northeast Army as soon as possible. On the morning of the "Incident", Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and other19 * * * * senior generals signed "Current Situation of Electricity" and put forward eight famous national salvation propositions. He is one of the signers of 19. 14, Zhang and Yang announced the cancellation of the "Northwest Suppression General" and the establishment of the "Temporary Northwest Military Committee of the Anti-Japanese Coalition Forces". Militarily, they formed a staff committee, who was the director of the staff committee. Its task is to study and deal with all military issues according to Zhang and Yang's instructions. With the efforts of Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and Zhou Enlai, the representative of the Communist Party of China, the "Xi Incident" was finally settled peacefully.

On February 25th, 65438, Zhang Xueliang personally sent Chiang Kai-shek back to Nanjing. Chiang Kai-shek treacherously detained Zhang Xueliang and conducted a military trial.

After Zhang Xueliang was detained, 65438+ 193710.5, Yang Hucheng, Yu Xuezhong and He jointly sent a telegram to the whole country, crying for Jiang to keep his promise and release Zhang Xueliang. Chiang Kai-shek ignored it. 65438+1October 13, Jiang proposed two schemes, A and B, so that An could choose between them. At this time, on the issue of how to rescue Zhang Xueliang, the senior generals of the Northeast Army produced the main battle and the opinions of the main and the two factions. 1937 65438+1October 3 1 Sunday evening, Wang Yizhe, commander of the 67th Army, held a meeting of senior cadres of the Trinity of the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army and the Red Army, and decided to do a good job and prepare to retreat. The young officers in the main battle thought it was a betrayal of the Northeast Army and Zhang Xueliang, and they were determined to get rid of Hehe.

On the morning of February 2, the young man was killed. After hearing the news, he survived and hid in Yang's headquarters. When mediating the differences between the Northeast Army, He visited Sanyuan many times and forged a profound friendship from then on. After Chiang Kai-shek returned to Nanking, he signed the original agreement and sent Chen Cheng and Gu to Tongguan. With his classmates' relationship with Gu, He traveled between Ning, Kai and An, and negotiated in many ways, which peacefully solved the aftermath of the An Incident and made the Northeast Army no longer suffer losses. On February 14, 2004, He met Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing on behalf of the Northeast Army, and met Zhang Xueliang again in Xikou, agreeing to move the Northeast Army eastward. In April, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Deputy Director of Shore Camp to assist Gu. In the same month, * * * * the Executive Yuan decided to set up a military reorganization committee of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, with Liu Zhiren as the director and Wang Shuchang, Yu Xuezhong and He Wei as members, to reorganize the Northeast Army just entering Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu. In June, after the reorganization of the Northeast Army, he became the commander of the Second Cavalry Corps, commanding the third, fourth and sixth cavalry divisions. It was the eve of the Lugouqiao Incident. This is Zhang Xueliang and General He.
