Among the major Soviet areas, the revolutionary masses in the Dabie Mountains were the most severely harmed by the Einsatzgruppe and the Home Returning Regiment. Even the most conservative estimate is that millions of people were lost. Judging from the population ratio, the severity was even greater than that of the Central Soviet Area.

The inhumane behavior of some Kuomintang bandits during this period was no less than that of the Japanese devils later. However, the revolutionary masses here have never stopped resisting. This is of course related to the strong folk customs in the Dabie Mountains, but also because there are still

There is the only regular Red Army unit in the major Soviet areas in the south - the 28th Red Army...

Historically, the 28th Red Army was a very special force. In the three years of its existence, it had no army commander, and its political commissar Gao Jingting took over the military and political power. Although it was not well-known in later generations, Hu Weidong was very fond of it.

We are familiar with this controversial figure who made outstanding contributions but also committed serious mistakes in the history of the Red Army. Gao Jingting had extremely outstanding abilities in both military command and base construction, and he was also honest and self-reliant.

However, he had a suspicious temperament and was influenced by the left-leaning line. He launched a counter-revolutionary campaign in the army and killed many good comrades. Moreover, the more dangerous the situation, the more suspicious Gao Jingting became, and his methods became simpler and more crude, which caused great harm to the army and the base area.

suffered huge losses.

Hu Weidong has always been disgusted with the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, but Gao Jingting is different from Zhang Guotao, a guy who used this to gain power for himself. This was mainly due to the influence of left-leaning ideas and his character flaws. Moreover, Gao Jingting was really honest.

He is a rare talent. In troubled times, only his talents are promoted. In order to deal with the Japs, Hu Weidong really couldn't bear to see Gao Jingting repeat the same mistakes in history. In addition, Hu Weidong came very early, and the mistakes Gao Jingting made at this time were not as good as before.

If it is serious, Hu Weidong should help him even more to prevent him from harming others and himself in the future.

However, Hu Weidong's "meddling in other people's affairs" almost caused a conflagration between the two armies, because in a period when left-leaning ideas were prevalent, "wrong lines" were an extremely serious problem. Once caught, they could be detained, executed, or even executed.

A large number of people were implicated. Gao Jingting had a high prestige among the 28th Red Army. Seeing that he was in danger, his subordinates, regardless of the huge gap in strength between the two armies, spontaneously raised their guns in an attempt to save him. Fortunately,

Gao Jingting, who was loyal to the party, immediately stopped the conflict, otherwise once the conflict broke out, the consequences would be disastrous. This also taught Hu Weidong a lesson, and he became much more cautious when dealing with such issues.

Although Gao Jingting showed a strong party spirit and confirmed through telegrams that what Hu Weidong said was true and that the central government had indeed changed its ideological line, Hu Weidong also repeatedly emphasized that the rectification movement he said was only to "learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones, treat diseases and save people." The purpose was to prevent the past.

The tragedy was not repeated, rather than settling old scores. However, Gao Jingting always valued the distinction between superiors and inferiors (a bit like the behavior of Soviet generals). He could not lose face no matter what if he was asked to publicly review in front of his subordinates.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Ying, who had reflected on the "Left" mistakes of the past during the previous "rectification movement" and was re-appointed, moved Gao Jingting with her personal experience and sincerity, "Commissar Gao, if you are wronged, you will not be able to defend yourself even if you are wronged."

How would you feel if you were shot by one of your own people without even a chance?"

Gao Jingting slowly closed his eyes without saying a word. He remembered the time when he shot all the cooking crew to death because of poisoning. Are these people really all accomplices? This is obviously impossible. He was indeed too impulsive.

He was a little more impatient! For a moment, Gao Jingting fell into unprecedented regret. No one had pointed out his suspicion and impulsiveness before, but as the top leader of the 28th Army, how could he listen to criticism from his subordinates?

?The results are wrong again and again...

"The reason why the Fourth Front Army was forced to leave the Dabie Mountains was largely because the expansion of the counter-revolutionary suppression seriously damaged its own vitality. I hope you can stand up and admit your past mistakes, and use this to warn future generations not to make similar mistakes again.

.", Hu Weidong said sincerely to Gao Jingting...

"I understand." Gao Jingting let out a long breath and resolutely ordered the entire army to gather to listen to his review...

At first, Gao Jingting thought that his commanders and soldiers would hate and look down on him from now on. Unexpectedly, as everyone listened, some people applauded one after another, and many people's eyes were filled with tears. They did not blame Gao Jingting, because they had gone through it together.

During those difficult days, they knew that in such a harsh environment where they could be sacrificed at any time, it was too difficult to eliminate traitors and spies without accidentally killing a good person. Their nerves were already tense.

In addition, the left-leaning line advocates "cruel struggle and ruthless strikes", and the expansion of the counter-revolutionary suppression is naturally inevitable. Gao Jingting's fault was not his original intention, and without him, the Dabie Mountains would have been completely occupied by the White Army. Red Twenty-Eight

All the more than a thousand men in the army were already dead. Therefore, Gao Jingting's behavior of self-examination in public, regardless of his face, further enhanced his reputation in the army...

After Gao Jingting finished speaking, Hu Weidong briefly explained the root causes of the frequent out-of-control suppression of counterrevolutionaries while the iron was hot, and announced that in the future, like the Red Fifteenth Army, three major institutions including military courts would be established in the Red Twenty-eighth Army to reduce injustice as much as possible.

When the false and wrong case occurred, the audience immediately burst into even warmer applause.

On the other hand, after learning that the 15th Red Army had crossed the Yangtze River and joined forces with the 28th Red Army, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to form the Eighth Red Army, with Hu Weidong as the commander and Mao Zetan as the political commissar, under the jurisdiction of the 15th Army.

Army and the 28th Army. The 15th Army was led by Su Yu as the commander, and the political commissar was Dai Weixia. Gao Jingting was changed from the political commissar of the 28th Army to the army commander, and his original position was held by the cautious Zhang Dingcheng. In addition, Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Guangdong

At Hu Weidong's request, Wansu District is still controlled by him for the time being. This is mainly for the technical experts and pilots who are stranded there. If the organizational relationship is separated, it will not be easy for them to transfer over at that time, probably because of the new

Leaders are amateurs and neglect their own expertise.

After becoming the army commander, Hu Weidong on the one hand drew more than 5,000 cadres and veterans from the 15th Red Army to enrich the 28th Red Army, which currently had less than one main regiment. On the other hand, after consulting Gao Jingting's opinions and suggestions,

, some talents in the 28th Red Army were reused. For example, the 20-year-old political commissar of the 82nd Division (the only division in the 28th Red Army...) Fang Yongle was flexible and brave.

Good at fighting, he was appointed by Hu Weidong as the chief of staff and head of the special task force of the corps. Liu Ying took over his original position. However, Mao Zetan, who has now become the first-level leader of the corps, could only give up the dream of leading troops to charge; the original pistol of the 28th Red Army

Regiment leader and political commissar Xu Chengji was self-taught in special tactics. Hu Weidong asked him to replace Long Feibao, who had never fully understood special tactics, as the captain of the special warfare brigade after receiving a month of special tactics training.

Lin Weixian, a talented general who once served as the commander of the 82nd Division, but was demoted to battalion commander due to Gao Jingting's left-leaning mistakes, was reinstated and returned to his post as the commander of the 82nd Division.
