Chapter 85: The Storm Comes (Part 3)

July 28, Nanchang, Ganjiang Hotel, Nanchang Uprising Former Enemy Headquarters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, the conference room was filled with stern-looking generals and heads of various party departments, and General Gallen, the military adviser of the Comintern, sat beside Zhang Guotao, his lips tightly closed, and he did not say a word.

Earlier, because General Gallen and Zhang Guotao, who had been elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and Political Bureau this month, who had actually replaced Chen Duxiu as the head of the party, had not received clear instructions from the Comintern, the insurrection scheduled for 27 May had to be postponed.

At this moment, Zhang Guotao was still vigorously emphasizing the supreme directive of the Comintern that "success must be grasped", and raised many questions about the Nanchang uprising.

The participants were anxious and once again explained the urgent situation to Zhang Guotao, who was in charge of the work of the Political Bureau and led the whole party:

Zhang Fakui did not agree to the request of our party to unite, and after discovering the abnormal situation inside and outside Nanchang, he again colluded with Wang Jingwei and began to arrest and expel communists in the Fourth and Eleventh armies on a large scale.

Director Zhou also duly showed an urgent report from the party comrades who were hiding beside Zhang Fakui, repeatedly explaining that Zhang Fakui would lead a well-trained and well-equipped iron army to Nanchang at any time, and now that the uprising was on the line, if he hesitated any longer, it would definitely bring huge losses to the party and the army.

But Zhang Guotao was stubborn, not only did not listen, but asked who would be responsible if the uprising failed? Director Zhou was furious, slapped the table for the first and last time in his life, and turned to leave after stating his views again.

Everyone hurriedly ran up and pulled Director Zhou back, angrily asking Zhang Guotao what he would do if he didn't revolt? Once Zhang Fakui wields his army to attack, and Zhu Peide's troops should cooperate with the outside world, who will be responsible for the losses caused?

Zhu Yujie, Liu Mingzhao, He Long, Ye Ting, and other generals firmly stood on the position of Director Zhou, and were recalled to the Soviet Union because of Borodin's series of mistakes, while the new Comintern representative Rominaz had not yet figured out the current complicated situation.

When discussing the distribution of troops, due to the disparity in the weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness of the various units of the uprising, the opinions of the generals were seriously divided again, and Li Lisan, member of the Central Committee and member of the Political Bureau, suddenly remembered the previous report of Mr. Qiubai and Director Zhou, and immediately asked Director Zhou: "Xiangyu, why didn't Comrade Zheng Yi's second division come?" ”

The generals who were discussing nervously were taken aback, and looked at Director Zhou in unison, Ye Ting hurriedly asked: "Comrade Lisan, is the Comrade Zheng Yi you are talking about, is it General Zheng Yi from the Wuhan Military Station?" ”

Li Lisan nodded with a smile: "That's right, Comrade Zheng Yi is an outstanding party member under the direct leadership of Xiangyu and Qiubai, for a long time, he has silently made many contributions to our party, the independent second division under his leadership has 4,000 elite soldiers, of which 525 are communists, has a united and efficient party branch, his troops are strictly disciplined, well-trained, and very well-armed!" ”

"I listened to everyone's discussion just now, and suddenly remembered Comrade Zheng Yi and his elite troops, but I don't know if they drove over."

Seeing the incredible looks on the faces of the generals, Director Zhou knew that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he could only explain helplessly:

"Comrade Zheng Yi and the 2nd Independent Division are still in Wuhan, and since the original order of the Central Committee was to go to Guangdong and establish a revolutionary base area, after repeatedly weighing and soliciting Comrade Qiubai's opinion, I felt that it might be better to let him stay in the heart of the enemy and carry out secret work......

"No, no! I have inspected Comrade Zheng Yi's troops, and this is a very good army, and everything is full of praise! As far as I know, this army is not only well-disciplined and well-equipped, but also has great combat effectiveness...... At such an urgent juncture, such an army should not remain in the rear, but let them take on the most difficult combat missions. ”

When General Gallen heard that Zheng Yi was a comrade in the party, his spirits were greatly lifted, and he immediately stood up and waved his arms, and said impassionedly.

The crowd buzzed.

Most of the generals in the army knew Zheng Yi as a person, but none of them knew that he was actually their comrade, and at this moment, when they heard that General Gallen, who never praised people easily, attached such importance to Zheng Yi and his independent second division, they immediately requested that Zheng Yi's troops be transferred to Nanchang quickly, even if it was a few days late, it was also a good supplement.

Almost all the generals and the responsible comrades of the central departments were very unanimous, and Director Zhou could only nod silently: "Okay, in the name of the Central Committee, the Military Committee and the Committee of Former Enemies, I will give Zheng Yi a telegram order to go to Nanchang to participate in the uprising." ”

After Director Zhou finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the telecommunications room, Zhu Yujie thought about it, quickly followed, and asked as he walked: "Xiangyu, there are only three days before the uprising, is it too late?" ”

Director Zhou pondered for a moment: "I believe in Comrade Zheng Yi, and I know that he is ready for everything. ”

……

……

On July 28, at 6:50 p.m., the Wuhan military station camp.

Outside the canteen in the backyard of the regiment headquarters, Zheng Yi squatted on the stone steps with a big bowl and ate slowly, on the left was squatting the bearded spy company commander Duan Xuan, and on the right sat the newly promoted lieutenant adjutant Xu Maofu, the two of them also held a big bowl, and Zheng Yi chatted without a word, seeing Cao Mancheng running quickly from the gate of the front yard, Duan Xuanle made a joke, but Zheng Yi put the rice bowl on the ground and quickly stood up.

Cao Mancheng ran to Zheng Yi and handed over the emergency call without saying a word.

Zheng Yi read the secret telegram, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Lao Cao, notify all battalion commanders and company commanders directly under him to hold an emergency meeting......"

"Order the communications company to act immediately, leaving only a fifteen-watt radio station and diesel generator, other radio stations and all accessories, including antennas, all of them to pack for me, and set off by three o'clock in the morning at the latest!"

"Yes!"

Cao Mancheng turned around and ran to the front yard.

Zheng Yi looked at Duan Xuan, who was full of excitement: "Concentrate your spy company, close the camp, and be on strict alert." ”

"Yes!"

Duan Xuan threw down the bowl and ran away without wiping his mouth.

Zheng Yi strode towards the front yard, Xu Maofu followed closely, and after passing the middle gate, Zheng Yi suddenly stopped: "Have the villagers of Longgang Village settled down?" ”

"All settled down, I only came back at dawn, most of the families of the enlisted brothers are willing to move to Hong Kong to live, and the rest of the families will be given 50 oceans, saving a little money enough to live a peaceful life for a few years." Xu Maofu replied in a low voice.

Zheng Yi nodded: "After the meeting, you take the guard platoon to Hankou with me, we need a boat, we need a big boat." ”

Xu Maofu immediately understood: "I'll go and prepare the war horse now, bring enough equipment!" ”
