When Hirohito was furious in the imperial study, Wang Husheng was also furious at the headquarters of the Independent Regiment.
This time Wang Husheng was really angry. Because of his arm injury, he stayed in the field hospital for two days. As a result, a big event happened in these two days, a big event that exceeded the limit of Wang Husheng's imagination. Xu Rui actually
More than 10,000 Japanese prisoners of war were interrogated, and all those whose hands were stained with the blood of Chinese people were shot.
They were really shot. Wang Husheng later found out that Xu Rui had shot more than 5,000 Japanese!
Originally, the Independent Regiment captured 12,000 Japanese, but now, only 7,000 are left!
The large-scale massacre of prisoners of war is horrifying in any era and any country. Bai Qi has left an eternal infamy for killing 400,000 Zhao army prisoners of war. Wang Husheng can fully imagine that when the news spread, Xu Rui's image
He will be smeared by the Japanese media, and those Western media will not let him go.
And what's even worse is that it's not just Xu Rui who is affected by the killing of prisoners, but also!
The massacre of prisoners of war will have an extremely negative impact on China's reputation.
"Old Xu, Old Xu, what do you want me to say about you? What do you want me to say about you?" Wang Husheng glared at Xu Rui angrily and said angrily, "I saw a huge victory.
, I have already reported to the military headquarters and applied for the expansion of the independent regiment into five detachments. You are about to serve as the commander of the detachment. Now, it’s all gone!"
"If there's no chance, there's no chance. Anyway, I think it's right." Xu Rui said, "These devils deserve to be killed."
"You, you, you, you." Wang Husheng pointed at Xu Rui and said bitterly, "You killed so easily, but do you know how much loss your behavior has brought to our independent group? Do you know what you are doing?
How much loss has this act brought to China? Old Xu, you are really, you are so immature."
Xu Rui stopped talking. He admitted that this move would cause some damage to his reputation, but he still did not think that this behavior was wrong. As a soldier, it is his duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield. This is true, so Xu Rui
We will never shoot these Japanese prisoners of war just because they have shot Chinese soldiers on the battlefield.
But killing innocent Chinese people is another matter.
There is an old saying in China, which goes like this: A person must be killed to pay for his life, and a debt must be paid for money.
Since these devils have killed ordinary Chinese people, they must pay the price for their actions. As in history, they only severely punished the culprits, but released millions of ordinary Japanese prisoners of war stained with Chinese blood back to Japan.
He will not appear in the Dameishan base area led by Xu Rui.
If he could do it over again, Xu Rui would still kill the prisoners without hesitation.
These Japanese prisoners of war deserve to die, so what's wrong with killing them?
While the two were talking, He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan and other senior battalion commanders walked in excitedly.
He Guangming shouted excitedly: "Political Commissar, this time one guy from our independent regiment wiped out a Japanese division, and it was also one of the seventeen permanent divisions. There should be some organizational performance, and the independent regiment expanded.
There should be no problem with the detachment, has the approval document been issued?"
After saying this, He Guangming saluted Xu Rui with a serious military salute and said loudly: "Report to the commander, He Guangming, commander of the first battalion of the first regiment of the fifth detachment of the New Fourth Army, has come to report to you and ask for your instructions."
Li Hai and Heipi took the opportunity to make noise, and Li Hai shouted: "Old He, are you being hypocritical?"
Heipi also yelled: "You are about to become the leader of the group, why are you so pretentious?"
He Guangming chuckled and said: "What the captain, don't talk nonsense, you haven't even written your horoscope yet."
Although He Guangming said the word "horoscope" without even licking his lips, the look on his face was that of someone else. But it's no wonder they thought so. This time the Independent Regiment won such a big victory, the army
It's unreasonable for the Ministry not to provide a detachment. Xu Rui became the commander of the detachment, so they naturally followed the promotion and became the regiment leader.
Seeing He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, Li Hai and Hei Pi making trouble, Wang Husheng became even more upset.
Originally, if there had been no killing of prisoners, everyone would be happy now. But now that something like this has happened, not only is it impossible to upgrade the independent regiment, but maybe even Xu Rui, the regiment leader, cannot be saved, because
In the discipline of discipline, merit comes from merit and demerit, and merit and demerit can never be offset.
Thinking of this, Wang Husheng became even more upset.
"That's enough, shut the fuck up!" Wang Husheng couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "Get out of here all of you! Get out of here!"
He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, Li Hai, and Heipi looked at each other in confusion. Some monks were confused. The political commissar was always gentle and gentle. It was rare for him to get angry. It was even rarer to use foul language. What happened today? Political commissar
Why is there such a big evil fire? It shouldn't be done. Didn't this just result in a great victory?
Looking at He Guangming and the other four, Wang Husheng became more and more annoyed and shouted again: "I told you to get out of here quickly. Each of your ears is stuffed with donkey hair. Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
While talking, Wang Husheng stretched out his foot to kick He Guangming.
He Guangming and the four of them hurriedly ran away with their heads in their hands, and soon they were gone.
Xu Rui said: "Old Wang, why are you doing this? How big of a deal is it worthy of making such a big fuss?"
"How big of a deal is this?" Wang Husheng said, dumbfounded, "Old Xu, this is a big deal!"
"How big can it be?" Xu Rui said suddenly, "The worst case scenario is that if you don't get promoted, you won't be the commander."
"Not the commander?" Wang Husheng snorted, "Not only can you not be the commander, you may not even be the regiment leader!"
"Isn't it possible?" Xu Rui said in shock, "Just because I killed a few Japanese, can the organization remove me from my position?"
"Of course it's okay to kill a few Japanese, but how many did you kill?" Wang Husheng spread his hands and said, "Old Xu, you killed more than five thousand, more than five thousand!"
"What's more than five thousand?" Xu Rui also said a little impatiently, and said in a dark voice, "How many people did the little devils kill after they captured Nanjing? More than three hundred thousand! And they were innocent people! For little Japan,
We shouldn’t talk about humanitarianism, we should use violence to stop violence, use killing to stop killing, and let them know that the Chinese are not to be messed with!”
"You, this..." Wang Husheng was speechless by Xu Rui's words.
Wang Husheng suddenly felt that what Xu Rui said made sense, but he was speechless to refute.
It took a long time before Wang Husheng came to his senses and said angrily: "You are just making excuses. It is wrong for the little devils to massacre our compatriots in Nanjing. If we also kill prisoners of war, won't we become like them?"
"How can this be the same?" Xu Rui said, "Little Japan came to our Chinese land to kill our compatriots. This is an act of aggression. We kill armed invaders on our own land. This is called defending the motherland. How is this?
Can they be confused with each other? Political Commissar, regarding the killing of prisoners, even if you say that it breaks the heavens, I will not accept it, I will not accept it, I will not accept it!"
"Okay, okay, I can't help you." Wang Husheng smiled bitterly, "Just wait for the organization to deal with it."
"I'll wait." Xu Rui said in amusement, "I don't believe it. The organization can still shoot me."
(Dividing line)
What Xu Rui didn't know was that the heads of the New Fourth Army's military headquarters were already quarreling over how to deal with Xu Rui's matter.
There are two groups of opinions on Xu Rui's treatment, and they are seriously at odds. The group headed by Commander Ye insists that Xu Rui's behavior is not wrong. Those Japanese who have killed Chinese civilians are war criminals, and war criminals should be severely punished and shot.
This is the fate they deserve, so Xu Rui not only has no fault, but should be given affirmation.
However, the group headed by Political Commissar Xiang insisted that Xu Rui made a mistake, and it was a big mistake! Because the party's consistent purpose is to treat prisoners preferentially, Xu Rui killed more than 5,000 prisoners of war without asking for instructions, which was unorganized and undisciplined.
, unorganized and undisciplined behavior must be severely punished, otherwise where is party discipline? Where is military law?
The two factions had serious disagreements and were at loggerheads, and in the end they had to vote by a show of hands.
In the end, political commissar Xiang's faction won by a narrow margin and decided to punish Xu Rui.
However, there are serious differences in the intensity of punishment. Some people advocate direct removal from office, some advocate the removal of the head of the group and continue to preside over the work of the independent group as acting head, and others insist that a warning within the party is enough.
There is absolutely no need to remove him from his post, otherwise it will inevitably chill the grassroots commanders and fighters.
After discussing for a long time, Political Commissar Xiang finally made the final decision, demoting Xu Rui's position from regimental leader to regimental cooking squad leader. The leader of the independent regiment will not be reassigned, and Wang Husheng, the political commissar of the independent regiment, will serve temporarily. There is also a special addition in the handling opinions.
, when did Xu Rui realize his mistake and when was he reinstated?
In fact, the military department's handling is an attitude. Party discipline must not be desecrated! No matter what position you hold within the party, no matter how much contribution you have made to the party or the country, you cannot violate party discipline. As long as you violate party discipline, you must accept the corresponding punishment.
Punishment is subject to party discipline and military law without exception!
At the same time, this handling opinion also leaves enough room.
On the surface, Xu Rui's position was wiped out, and he was demoted from the group leader to the cooking team leader. However, in fact, because no one else was transferred to the Dameishan Independent Group, political commissar Wang Husheng served as the leader of the independent group. The subtext is,
Xu Rui still has the final say in the independent group, and Xu Rui is actually the acting leader.
The head of the military department also really took great pains on how to deal with Xu Rui.
After discussing the handling opinions, the next thing to discuss is the issue of awards.
According to the discipline, a mistake is a mistake, and merit is merit. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded.
This time the Dameishan Independent Regiment won the battle, it should be rewarded. Originally, the military headquarters had decided to upgrade the Independent Regiment to five detachments, but this opinion was rejected after it was reported to Yan'an. However, this cannot help but "resourceful"
"The military chiefs quickly came up with a roundabout plan.
