The first two tasks are easier to handle. This is because Xie Qingyun is the director of the Nanjing office of the Second Army. He is in charge of all military affairs in Nanjing and has a wide network of contacts, which is convenient for directly and indirectly covering underground workers. The most important task of this office is to collect military expenses and deliver munitions. You can transport some guns, ammunition, medicines, etc. Transporting Sun Liangcheng's military supplies to the liberated areas in northern Jiangsu.
The most difficult thing is to resist the Sun Liangcheng uprising. Before the Japanese surrender, Sun Liangcheng had a total of 50,000 troops, occupying Subei 16 County, which was staggered with the geographical location of Subei Liberated Area. If Sun Liangcheng revolts, the whole northern Jiangsu will become a liberated area, and it will directly deter big cities such as Nanjing and Shanghai. During the Anti-Japanese War, Sun Liangcheng had three forces: Zhao Yunxiang, commander of the Second Army and the Fourth Army, and Xie Qingyun, deputy commander; The fifth army commander Wang (Xie Qingyun's brother-in-law); Sun Yutian (Sun Liangcheng's cousin) is the commander of the 37th Division directly under the Central Committee. As for the military financial power of the whole army, Xie Qingyun is directly in charge. The only drawback is that he does not directly lead troops and has no military power. On April 6th, 1945, the New Fourth Army telephoned the Central Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu Military Regions: "The key point of the enemy's work should be to divide and win over Sun Liangcheng." In July, Shen Bochun, Secretary-General of the 18 Army (Eighth Route Army), and Yu Yi, Director of the Intelligence Department of the Central Plains Military Region, took personal letters from Mao Zedong to Yangzhou to attack Sun Liangcheng. In order to ensure the safety of Shen Bochun, Xie Qingyun opened several rooms on the second floor of Yang She, Yangzhou, and has been living in a hotel with Shen Bochun.
The work of resisting Sun Liangcheng is very difficult. First, Sun Liangcheng is "stupid and treacherous" and changeable; Second, in the late period of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek used high officials and generous salaries as bait, and increased the efforts to win over and buy off Sun Liangcheng. At the same time, Sun Liangcheng's "double-pedaling" did not close the door to * * *, nor did he clearly express the intention of the uprising, which made little progress in the uprising. Seeing this situation, Xie Qingyun expressed his willingness to use his status as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army and his friendship with the commander Zhao Yunxiang to do the rebellion work of the Fourth Army alone. After analyzing the situation, he agreed with Xie Qingyun's idea, and then Shen Bochun and others left Yangzhou.
After the Japanese surrendered, Sun Liangcheng was appointed commander-in-chief of the New Second Route Army, and the Fourth Army was changed to the First Army of the New Second Route Army, with Zhao Yunxiang as the commander and Xie Qingyun as the deputy commander. Because the New Fourth Army controlled the important traffic lines around, except Taixian, the land and water traffic in Yancheng, Gaoyou and Baoying in Sun Liangcheng was interrupted, so we could only contact the armies and divisions by radio. Sun Liangcheng is under siege. 1945 65438+1October 3 1 day, the Central China Branch of the Communist Party of China and the Central China Military Region concentrated 20,000 troops to surround Yancheng, forcing Zhao Yunxiang to rebel or surrender. Zhaoyun telegraphed to Sun Liangcheng for reinforcements, and Sun Liangcheng telegraphed him to stick to it and live and die with the city. Zhao Yunxiang was very disappointed.
After Sun Liangcheng replied to Zhao Yunxiang's telegram, he couldn't help worrying. He quickly found Xie Qingyun and asked him to find a way to break through the encirclement of the * * * army and cheer for Zhao Yunxiang. Xie Qingyun thought the time had come and accepted the task gladly.
Xie Qingyun found Guan Guan, commander of the Soviet military region in the liberated area, and explained the real intention of this trip. Through the arrangement of Guan, Xie Qingyun only brought personal guards, successfully passed through the encirclement and met Zhao Yunxiang. He conveyed the meaning of Sun Liangcheng first, and Zhao Yunxiang scratched his head after listening. Xie Qingyun took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Zhao Yunxiang to analyze the situation and put forward that only the uprising is the way out. At first, Zhao Yunxiang still had doubts. After Xie Qingyun's patient persuasion, he slowly dispelled his doubts and decided to rebel. Xie Qingyun immediately returned to Yangzhou and reported to Sun Liangcheng that things had not been done well and Zhao Yunxiang was in a bad mood. He didn't have the confidence to persist and asked for reinforcements. Hearing this, Sun Liangcheng sighed for a long time and said, "All the ministries of the New Fourth Army are surrounded. Where can I get reinforcements? "
After Xie Qingyun left, Zhao Yunxiang immediately sent Gu (our party's underground party member) out of the city. Gu was taken to the headquarters of Suzhong Military Region by Xie Xiang, commander of Yanfu Military Region, and reported the discussion between Xie Qingyun and Zhao Yunxiang to the commander Guan and political commissar (Ji Pengfei). After many contacts and consultations, Zhao Yunxiang finally appointed Mr. Dai Xinkuan as the plenipotentiary, and reached an agreement through consultation.
1945165438+1October10/morning, Zhao Yunxiang and Dai Xinkuan called a meeting of officers at or above the battalion level at the headquarters of the 40th division of Yancheng, and read out the just electrification against Chiang Kai-shek and the civil war incorporated into The New Fourth Army sequence. At this critical moment, Xie Qingyun finally contributed to the task of resisting Zhao Yunxiang's uprising.
Since then, Xie Qingyun, Zhou Gao and other underground members of the Communist Party of China have rebelled against Sun Liangcheng according to the arrangement of the Party organization, but the rebellion has been fruitless. This makes Xie Qingyun very upset. When he thought of Zhao Yunxiang's Yancheng Uprising, he suddenly realized whether he could bypass Sun Liangcheng and instigate his subordinate troops to revolt. After analysis, only Wang has this possibility. Wang is called "Little Zhuge" in the army. He understood the overall situation, was reasonable and helped a lot in the rebellion. Now the situation has developed to this point. As long as Wang analyzes the current situation and weighs the pros and cons, he will certainly accept the proposal of * * *. Besides, he is a relative of Sun Liangcheng, so he can have a heart-to-heart talk with him. /kloc-in the winter of 0/947, Xie Qingyun made an appointment with Wang to meet at Dexingfu Hotel in Xuzhou, and directly expressed his thoughts and made public his identity as party member of the Communist Party of China. After several days' consideration, Wang expressed his willingness to join China. Before the Huaihai Campaign started, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Ministry to be reorganized into 107 Army at the end of100, with 260 divisions (division commander Wang) and 26 1 division (division commander Sun Yutian), and the strength was expanded to10000. Sun Liangcheng saw that his strength had increased, and those who had just promised the * * * uprising began to waver again. After the Huaihai Campaign began, Sun Liangcheng's department was already within the encirclement of our army. At the military meeting, under the repeated insistence of Xie Qingyun and other generals, they promised to start negotiations with the People's Liberation Army. However, due to the deadline of the uprising, it can only be treated as defection. After a series of negotiations, Sun Liangcheng finally agreed to let his men "lay down their arms" and surrender in despair. After receiving the order, Wang overcame the difficulties and took the lead in letting his men hand over their weapons for reorganization. As Wang was a special party member of the Communist Party of China developed by Xie Qingyun and held the military power of 1 division, he played a special role at the critical moment, successfully solved the disarmament problem and made 1 troops surrender at the front line of Huaihai Campaign. The defection of 107 Army opened the southeast gateway of Xuzhou, a strategic place, and created favorable conditions for the PLA to March into Xuzhou.
1948165438+1October19 the Communist Party of China (CPC) wanted to turn against Liu Ruming, commander of the 8th Kuomintang Corps, through Sun Liangcheng. However, because he still had illusions about the Kuomintang, he turned against Liu Ruming on the surface. In fact, he wanted to return to the Kuomintang troops through Liu Ruming and tell Liu Ruming about the rebellion of Xie Qingyun and Wang. Party member and Wang were arrested and sacrificed because of their informers. On the night of February 25, 65438, Xie Qingyun was also arrested by the Kuomintang Secrecy Bureau. Before he was arrested, he felt the danger coming step by step, and secretly sent his three children to other places to hide, but he did not leave Nanjing. Whether there are more important tasks for him to complete is still a mystery.
After Xie Qingyun was arrested, there was no news. In February 1949, 1, he finally sent a bloody shirt and two small notes from the prison and asked his friends to help him bail. After two adjutants Xi Demin and Tian Lianxi ran in many ways, Liang Gengsan of the Secret Service was entrusted with dredging. Liang Gengsan asked for 200 taels of gold, but the amount was too large to be paid immediately. A few days later, Liang Gengsan said, "People have put them in sacks and put them in the Huangpu River. There is no way to raise enough money. " In the 1970s, the Beijing Public Security Bureau made many investigations and learned that after Xie Qingyun was arrested, he was indomitable and the enemy got nothing. At that time, the party organization of the Communist Party of China tried every means to rescue it, but there was no result. The date, place and process of Xie Qingyun's sacrifice are controversial and inconclusive.
1977, Xie Qingyun was chased as a revolutionary martyr. On June 20th, 1983, the Ministry of Civil Affairs awarded Xie Qingyun a revolutionary martyr certificate.
