How did Gao Jingting die?
Gao Jingting was killed for both internal and external reasons. Personally, Gao was killed because he had self-esteem, disobeyed the command of the New Fourth Army, refused to leave Dabie Mountain and refused to move eastward. Refused to wait for the Central Committee member sent by Dai. Too many people have been offended. Gao was killed by Yang Kezhi, head of the Seventh Regiment under his command, and Cao Yufu, deputy head, who defected to the enemy on the way eastward. So Dai accused Gao Jingting of being anti-Party, anti-Central, counter-revolutionary, possibly defecting to the enemy, and breaking his arm to resist Japan, and reported it to Xiang Ying. Xiang Ying also reported the charges of "anti-Party" and "anti-Central" to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang Chiefs respectively. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China did not agree to kill Gao Jingting, and the Kuomintang called back and demanded that Gao Jingting be killed immediately. Xiang Ying received two telegrams and sent another one to Ye Ting. Gao was executed immediately. Gao Jingting was executed on June 24th, 939 on/KLOC-0. 1On July 27, 977, the PLA headquarters issued a notice that Gao Jingting had made mistakes, but the credit was greater than the rehabilitation. 1April, 980, he was chased as a martyr and his bones were moved to Hefei Martyrs Cemetery.

Brief introduction of Gao Jingting
Gao Jingting Gao Jingting, a famous soldier of the New Fourth Army, was originally named Gao Zhiyuan and was from Dongdian, a suburb of Xinxian County, Henan Province. One of the founders of the party, government and army in Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas. 1907 was born in a poor peasant family in Dongdian Village, Xinji Town, Xinxian County. 10 years old lost his mother. Due to the poverty of his family, he dropped out of school after only six years of private schooling to help his father farm at home. During the Great Revolution, people from Huang An County, Hubei Province (now Hong 'an County), Fang Jinxian and Mei Guangrong carried out revolutionary activities in the Hubei-Henan Border Region in the name of visiting relatives and friends. Gao Jingting received the enlightenment education of the revolution, and then began revolutionary activities.
How did Gao Jingting die?
During the three-year guerrilla war, Gao Jingting was far away from the CPC Central Committee, lacked organization and supervision, monopolized the power of one party, one government and one army, and developed a paternalistic style of arbitrariness and centralization, which had a certain influence on correctly handling the relationship between superiors and colleagues at that time and later. Especially on the issue of expanding the "counter-revolutionaries", he killed some comrades by mistake and accumulated a lot of grievances. The persistence of the Red Army 28 led by him in Dabie Mountain and the successive victories of the four detachments led by him in the eastward March against Japan also made him feel a great responsibility. The anti-Japanese base area in central Anhui, which he founded with Shucheng, Tongcheng, Lujiang, Wuwei and Chaoxian as the center and backed by Dabie Mountain, was unwilling to be ceded to the Kuomintang, which was the main reason why he "refused to carry out the orders of the New Fourth Army" and was finally executed.
1939 in may, Ye Ting, the new fourth army, asked the national government to execute Gao Jingting in the name of not carrying out military orders, and Jiang Zhongzheng called back in the same month. On June 4th, Gao Jingting was arrested by Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and executed on June 24th.
The execution of Gao Jingting, commander of the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army, was a major event of the New Fourth Army in early War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Because the files involved in this case have never been completely made public, there are different opinions on the interpretation of Gao's case.
There is a folk saying that Ye Ting went to Li Huang, the seat of Anhui provincial government, on May 3rd, 1939. On May 24th, Liao Lei, the chairman of Anhui provincial government, falsely accused the fourth detachment of the fifth war zone, and the fifth war zone reported it to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek approved the "execution of Gao Jingting", and Ye Ting arrived at Hefei Qinglong Factory with the approval of Chiang Kai-shek to detain Gao Jingting, and then held a struggle meeting. This description gives the impression that Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and Liao Lei and Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang jointly executed Gao Jingting. In view of the fact that this matter involves the name of General Ye Ting, the author thinks it is necessary to clarify the historical truth and give General Ye Ting an innocence.
Gao Jingting is a man.
Understanding Gao Jingting's experience is helpful to the interpretation of Gao's case. Gao Jingting, formerly known as Gao Zhiyuan, 1907 was born in a poor peasant family in the suburb of Guangshan County (now Xinxian County), Henan Province. Influenced by the Jute Uprising, Gao Jingting actively participated in the revolutionary torrent of creating the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in March 1929. 193 1 Zhang arrived in the border region of Hubei, Henan and Anhui in may, and Gao Jingting was appreciated by him and promoted to the top leadership of the party, government and army in the base area. Since then, he has served as a member of the CPC Central Branch in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, chairman of the government of Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet areas, director of the political department of the Red 25 Army, secretary of the Henan South Road Committee, secretary of the Northwest Anhui Road Committee, and political commissar of the Red 28 Army. In the history of China revolution, Gao Jingting is a tragic figure with great historical achievements and serious mistakes.
His body is full of contradictions: his qualifications for participating in the revolution are not high in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui base areas, but he was promoted to important leadership positions by helicopter in a short time; He fought bravely and tenaciously against the enemy, but he was keen on "eliminating counter-revolutionaries" within the revolutionary ranks, and was called an "expert in eliminating counter-revolutionaries"; After the Long March, the Red 25 Army led an arduous three-year guerrilla war in the border area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui alone, stuck to the red flag of Dabie Mountain, and preserved the Red 28 Army, an old Red Army armed force.
His education level is not high, but he can sum up a set of effective strategies and tactics in guerrilla warfare practice; He hated the Kuomintang reactionaries, but he was able to conform to the historical trend at the turning point of the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Based on the analysis of the situation and a correct understanding of the new policy of the Communist Party of China, he took the initiative to negotiate with the local authorities of the Kuomintang in Yuexi and successfully reached the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the Hubei, Henan and Anhui border areas. He killed many innocent comrades by mistake in his life, but was eventually killed by his own comrades.
So far, he is the last senior cadre of the Communist Party of China to be executed by "eliminating counter-revolutionaries" on charges of "anti-Party". After 38 years of ups and downs, his misjudged case was finally rehabilitated by the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army in April 1977 according to Mao Zedong's instructions before his death. The rehabilitation document clearly states:
After Gao Jingting took part in the revolution, under the leadership of Chairman Mao's CPC Central Committee, he actively adhered to the revolutionary struggle in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. Although he made serious mistakes while working in the Fourth Team, he can educate and execute Comrade Gao Jingting. Following the instructions of the great leader and mentor Chairman Mao, the Central Military Commission decided to rehabilitate Comrade Gao Jingting and restore his reputation.
On the issue of responsibility for Gao's case, Mao Zedong also said that he opposed the other party before he died. Mao Zedong talked about this in a conversation during his visit to Anhui on 1953. He once said to Fu Shuo, secretary of CPC Anqing District Committee, "This is Dai's ghost." At the beginning of liberation, Dai served as the secretary of Kaifeng Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, and was also purged and detained in 1952 on charges of "opposing the Party and the Central Committee", and was rehabilitated only after the Cultural Revolution.
After a lapse of 22 years, 1975, when dealing with Gao Jingting's daughter's request to clarify her father's old age, Wang Dongxing reported that Xiang Ying had said in a telegram to the Central Committee that "the Bai Chongxi Electricity Commission demanded that Gao Jingting be shot accurately", and Mao instructed: "Please consult with the Military Commission. I think this case was mishandled, and I suspect that Xiang should bear the main responsibility. " But at that time, if the superior didn't agree to kill Gao, it was hard to imagine that Xiang Ying would be allowed to execute such a senior official without authorization, even in the name of Chiang Kai-shek's approval. If it is really Xiang Ying's responsibility, wouldn't it be a ready-made heavy shell when the Gao Qian meeting of the Central China Bureau criticized Xiang Ying after the Southern Anhui Incident?
After the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red 28th Army led by Gao Jingting and the Red Army guerrillas in southern Henan co-edited as the 4th detachment of the New Fourth Army, with Gao Jingting as the division leader. The fourth detachment originally had two regiments, the seventh regiment was adapted from the former Red 28th Army, the eighth regiment was adapted from the Tongbaishan guerrillas, and Gao established the ninth regiment on the basis of the eighth regiment. In mid-March, 1938, the whole detachment concentrated in western Anhui and headed for central Anhui. Because of the conflict between Gao Jingting and the central decision-making, after the troops went down the mountain, he lived in the rear most of the time on the grounds of illness. The troops were handed over to Dai, the chief of staff of the detachment and director of the political department, to fight guerrilla warfare in central Anhui, but they were not allowed to advance behind enemy lines in eastern Anhui.
