In the winter of 1936, Chiang Kai-shek came to the ancient city of Xi'an to supervise the battle. The Political Training Office, the gendarmerie team and the police station mobilized together to defend Xi'an closely and investigate everyone entering and leaving the city. The commander of the guard company of the 72nd Division of the Shaanxi Army, Wang Sanxi, waited at the gate early, and bought the pork bun on the side of the road. The commander Wei Dahe led the captured soldiers back to Xi’an. Wang Sanxi hurriedly rushed to him. , And gave him the bun that he just bought.
At this time, Ye Xianzhi, the head of the action team of the Northwest Suppression General Political Training Office of the Kuomintang sent people to capture Wei Dahe and conduct a surprise trial on him, forcing him to explain what he did in the Red Army station in northern Shaanxi in the past six months. Dahe excused that he saw too many people and couldn’t remember it for a while. Ye Xianzhi threatened to charge him with a common crime. Wei Dahe was enraged and moved out of the 72nd division to suppress him. Ye Xianzhi had to let him go. Unconvinced, Wei Dahe picked up the inkstone on the table and injured his head. He severely taught Ye Xian a lesson, and then drove away.
Half a year ago, Gao Xiaoshan, commander of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, led a team to pretend to be the Kuomintang Central Army and attacked Wei Dahe to strengthen the regiment. Wei Dahe was captured alive by Gao Xiaoshan and kept in northern Shaanxi for half a year. After Ye Xianzhi released Wei Dahe, he immediately reported the matter to Qiu Yuangu, director of the Political Training Department. Qiu Yuangu felt that this was a conspiracy of the Communist Party. He arrested Wei Dahe and released it just to buy people’s hearts. He reminded Ye Xianzhi to keep an eye on it. The movements of the Northeast Army and the Shaanxi Army worried that they would collude and threaten Chiang Kai-shek's safety.
Jiang Ya is really a Communist Party member lurking in the Northeast Military Confidential Bureau, codenamed Pomegranate. She accidentally saw an important piece of information and learned that Jiang Jieshi invited Jiang Dingwen, Wei Lihuang, Chen Cheng, Zhu Shaoliang, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Hucheng and others at 7 o'clock tonight. At the Xijing Hotel for a dinner, she came to meet with underground party member Wang Feng. Wang Feng saw Jiang Yazhen from a distance and raised his arm to wave to her. Unexpectedly, he was killed on the street by a special agent of the Interrogation Office and fell in front of Jiang Yazhen. After interrogation, she pretended to be calm and calmly answered. The secret agent did not find any suspicious circumstances and let her leave. Wei Dahe and Wang Sanxi were eating at a nearby noodle restaurant. They ran out when they heard gunshots and saw Jiang Yazhen panicked and walked past.
Jiang Yazhen and Wang Feng were in one-line contact. Wang Feng suddenly died. Jiang Yazhen had to activate emergency contact. Fu Yang, the head of the underground party, replaced Wang Feng and Jiang Yazhen. He also put two red pomegranates in the clinic as a secret signal. Jiang Yazhen came on time. The two confronted the secret words, and Jiang Yazhen handed the intercepted information to Fu Yang.
Chiang Kai-shek appointed Jiang Dingwen as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Suppression at the dinner, which is tantamount to torn openly with Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. Qiu Yuangu saw that Jiang Jieshi was going to kill them both, so he sent Ye Xianzhi to sort out Zhang Xueliang and Shan as soon as possible. The evidence of the North Red Army's exchanges will show that Chiang Kai-shek will justifiably take away the military power of Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng. That night, Jiang Huaizhu, commander of the 122nd Division of the Northeast Army, was ordered to lead a team to Chiang Kai-shek's residence in Xi'an, Huaqingchi, for defense, and suddenly heard several gunshots from inside.
The commander of the 72nd Division of the Shaanxi Army received an order from his superiors to send troops to stop the reinforcements of the Central Army at Tongguan. Commander Feng was immediately embarrassed and became angry. He did not want to be a victim of the struggle between Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Wei Dahe was captured. The soldiers returned and returned to their lives. The commander Feng was not upright, so he spread all his anger on Wei Dahe, punched and kicked him, and executed Wei Dahe’s military law on the spot. Chief of Staff Duan Dewu worked hard for the defense. Dahe begged for mercy, and the commander was exempted from the death penalty of Wei Dahe. He beat him with twenty army sticks and was then relegated to the commander of the battalion. Wei Dahe was beaten to his feet, struggling to stand up and left, but he did not hate the commander, but he treated Gao Xiaoshan Hate it to the bone and vowed to fight him to the end.
Because Chiang Kai-shek insisted on suppressing the Communists, on December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, deputy commanders of the Northeast Army, launched the Xi'an Incident and sent troops to Huaqing Pool to put Chiang Kai-shek under house arrest. The Central Army, the Northeast Army and the Shaanxi Army, were struggling, Zhang Xueliang requested The CCP came forward to mediate. Yoshida, head of the Intelligence Division of the Japanese Kitamura Unit, reported the matter to Ichiro Ichiro, a senior Japanese army agent in Xi’an. Iwai worried that the CCP’s presence would prevent Chiang Kai-shek’s suppression of the Communists, which would be detrimental to the overall situation of the Japanese occupation of China. Iwai sent Yoshida to pay close attention to this matter. .
, the division commander, weighed repeatedly and immediately called Nanjing to show his support for the Central Army, and withdrew the defense of Tongguan, prohibited all officers and soldiers from going out, and blocked the news of Chiang Kai-shek’s house arrest for officers and soldiers below the regimental level. If any leaker was killed. The Kuomintang Central Army went to Xi’an for reinforcements day and night.Arriving at Tongguan, Song Zhi, the commander of the 117th Division of the Shaanxi Army, and Wu Yi, the chief of staff of the Shaanxi Army, discussed blocking the deployment of the Central Army, but the commander had already retreated without a fight, and they were helpless. Jiang Yazhen saw that Zhang Xueliang sent troops to Tongguan to block the Central Army’s orders, and immediately told Fu Yang the information. Fu Yang called underground party trafficmen to a meeting and asked them to try to pass the information out, so that the Red Army could cooperate with the Northeast Army and the Shaanxi Army to block the KMT Central Committee. military.
Wei Dahe was lying on the kang and could not move. He accidentally heard that cadres at the level above had gone to a meeting, but he did not call him. He immediately sent someone to call Duan Dewu to ask about the situation. Duan Dewu worried that Wei Dahe learned that Master Feng had forbidden him. The reason for the whole division’s going out would be random. As far as Gu left, he couldn't stand Wei Dahe's entanglement. Duan Dewu had to admit that Chiang Kai-shek was under house arrest, and the commander Feng withdrew to Tongguan troops in order to let the Central Army come in to rescue Chiang Kai-shek.
