At noon, nearly 10,000 people poured into the execution ground outside the west gate of Ningdu City to listen to the blood and tears of the poor villagers who had been bullied. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the midst of earth-shattering roars and shouts of killing, the people of Ningdu witnessed with their own eyes the nine leading figures of the two century-old powerful families of Wu and Li and the four major bullies who had been rampant for many years, returning to the underworld in the "crackling" gunshots, and seeing the soldiers of the communist army burning usury contracts and account books.

Ningdu City is finally boiling!

Hundreds of families have been wronged, thousands of poor and humble tenants have received food, street children in and out of the city have been taken back to the barracks by military officers and soldiers to take proper care of them, and the streets are full of poor people who are raising their eyebrows and running to tell each other.

All the prisoners in the prison were released.

Under the enthusiastic reports of the people, none of the more than 500 soldiers of the security regiment who had been arrogant and deceived the good and feared evil escaped, and all of them were taken into custody by the officers and men of the revolutionary army, and honestly swept the streets and alleys of the whole city, and cleaned up the towers and city walls that had been blown up by mortars.

More than 800 Yunnan prisoners, except for more than 300 wounded soldiers, were escorted to the foot of the Sanshi slope five miles west of the city to dig tombs for the fallen instructors and soldiers and more than 1,000 of their own comrades.

"The final stats are out!" The three staff officers of the division headquarters came to Zheng Yi, the instructor and division commander, and handed over the statistical list in their hands to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi said "sorry" to the person in charge of the local party organization who had been released not long ago, picked up the list, looked at it carefully, quickly raised his head, and asked in surprise: "How can there be 138 Mauser Type 1924 rifles here?" ”

The young quartermaster staff officer hurriedly explained: "We have personally checked it, and it is definitely a Mauser rifle!" ”

"This gun is basically the same length as the Czech rifle we are equipped with, and it is slightly different from the Mauser Type 98 long rifle equipped by the Second Sniper Detachment of the Special Service Company, and the bayonet is also different, which is very delicate and beautiful!"

"According to the prisoners' confessions, this batch of Mauser rifles was just bought back from Guangzhou at the beginning of the year, and arrived in the same batch as the 12 captured German Spandau Type 08 heavy machine guns and 112 magazine-type shell guns, with the Mauser logo and 1924 font on the bolt mount, all of which belonged to Yang Yukun's guard battalion."

"The total number of looted items was supposed to be one hundred and fifty, and there are still about 150,000 rounds of ammunition left, and due to damage and loss, we have only found one hundred and thirty-eight for the time being."

Zheng Yi pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "It's strange! The magazine type of Mauser shell gun is not strange, I saw it two years ago, but the ban imposed on the Germans by the "Versailles Treaty" does not seem to have been lifted, and the arms embargo treaties of European and American countries against our country have not been lifted, how can there be rifles from the original Mauser factory into our country......"

"Why don't I bring you a few?" The quartermaster staff officer hurriedly asked.

Zheng Yi shook his head slightly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's keep it for now, the top priority is to transport all the captured weapons and ammunition to Xingguo as soon as possible!" ”

"This matter must be done quickly, didn't it confiscate dozens of carriages and more than 200 horses from several local tyrants and shoddy gentry? You go to Commander Li and ask him to send a battalion to assist you, escort the 500 prisoners of the security regiment as coolies, and transport them away immediately, the sooner the better. ”

"Yes!"

The quartermaster staff strode away.

Zheng Yi looked at the two staff officers who were left: "Give these lists to Regiment Commander Zhao, and when the grain distribution is completed, immediately count the remaining grain, beans, etc., except for the food that is enough for the two regiments to eat for half a month, the other grains and all the captured materials will be transported back to Xingguo." ”

The two staff officers took the list, saluted and left, and Zheng Yi turned to the two local leaders who wanted to say nothing:

"Lao Li and Lao Yan, since I can't get in touch with the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, I have truthfully telegraphed the situation of the two of you and the current situation of the party organization in Ningdu to the former enemy committee in charge of the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas......"

"We can't issue guns to the Red Guards you have formed for the time being without clear instructions from the higher-level party organizations, so please forgive me."

"However, you can immediately contact the separated comrades, quickly restore the Red Guards and committees at all levels in Ningdu County and the surrounding villages and towns, and if you ask for money, we will give you money, you can also send a political cadre to support you."

The two local leaders glanced at each other, and both stood up and said to Zheng Yi: "Okay!" Let's go find someone, and we'll do it! ”

……

1928, 19 February, morning.

Hunan Province, Chaling, former enemy headquarters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.

The urgently convened military conference had not yet been announced, and the good news of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army's leading instructors Zheng Yi to capture Xingguo and Ningdu had already spread throughout the venue.

Committee member Mao, who presided over the meeting, showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time, and the former committee members and generals of various ministries attending the meeting were also greatly encouraged, and the solemn atmosphere for many days was swept away by the cheers that continued to come from inside and outside the city.

"That's fast! The instructor only left the Jinggangshan base nine days ago, right? Wan Xixian, a former member of the committee, asked excitedly.

Commissar Mao said with a smile: "That's right, from leaving Jinggangshan to conquering Ningdu County, it only took eight days before and after the instructor, and if you calculate carefully, within eight days, the instructor and soldiers marched no less than 600 miles, successively conquered the two county towns of Xingguo and Ningdu, and established the first workers' and peasants' revolutionary government in southern Jiangxi in Xingguo, which is remarkable!" ”

He Tingying, former member of the CPC Committee and secretary of the Party Committee of the First Division, and Zhang Ziqing, head of the new regiment, respectively expressed their thoughts and put forward almost the same proposals:

The 32nd Kuomintang Army stationed in Ganzhou had been ordered to be transferred to eastern Guangdong 10 days ago, and Yang Chisheng's division, which had taken over the defense of Ganzhou, now has only one division left. At present, the tutor successfully captured the two counties of Xingguo and Ningdu, which posed a huge threat to Ganzhou and the surrounding counties.

The crowd immediately became hotly discussed.

After smashing the conspiracy of Chen Hao, the commander of the first regiment, to lead his troops to defect to the enemy, under heavy pressure, Committee member Mao and members of the former committee worked closely with the Hunan uprising led by the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the Hunan Special Committee, and intensively recruited new recruits to supplement the shortfall of the two main regiments, and the morale and combat effectiveness of the first division gradually improved, and the basic conditions for fighting a major war were already met.

After much discussion, the Council of Former Enemies made a final decision:

The second regiment, which was undergoing retraining, was stationed in Youxian, and the former enemy committee led the first regiment and the expanded guard battalion to turn east and attack Suichuan, striving to connect southern Gannan and southern Hunan at an early date. (To be continued.) )
