Chapter Eighty-Eight: Going Forward to Nanchang (Sixth Shift)
On July 29, at one o'clock in the morning, the Wuhan military station camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last group of officers and men of the garrison regiment opened the camp gate, the wide military station camp was calm, and the guard platoon led by Xu Maofu was still standing at the gate of the small courtyard west of the regiment headquarters.
In the bedroom on the east side of the main hall of the small courtyard, the lights were dim and there was silence, Zheng Yi took out three letters from the briefcase on his waist, gently placed them next to the pillow, and looked at the drunk Xu Zhilin with guilt for a while, and then slowly withdrew from the bedroom door, and instructed the young adjutant with a nervous expression:
"Xiao Li, you should watch more hard tonight, and you should also pay attention to the safety of the military station, don't let outsiders take advantage of it...... Now it's up to you to do the whole station! When my Brother Xu woke up, you asked him to read the letter, and then urged him to send a telegram to Chief Yu immediately, remember? ”
"Remember...... Brother Zheng, are you really a communist? ”
Xiao Li, whose eyes were red, looked at Zheng Yi with blank eyes.
Zheng Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, although the doctrines are different, I can't forget the unforgettable years we had together, alas! Take care of yourself, and don't forget what I tell you. ”

July 29, 1:30 a.m., Pasir Sha Pier.
More than a dozen high-hanging lanterns swayed in the night wind, and the bright lights illuminated the wharf up and down, all weapons and ammunition had been loaded onto the ship, and the officers and men of the three battalions and five companies directly under the command had also boarded four large and small cargo ships.
Hundreds of dock workers and port workers who had been compensated by the ocean gathered around and watched in horror, and no one dared to act rashly.
More than 800 officers and men from the five companies that had chosen to stay were lined up above the wharf, many with tears in their eyes, and many more officers and men looking around nervously.
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Zheng Yi, who had finally left the camp, rode his horse under the escort of the brothers in the guard platoon, and more than 4,700 brothers on the boat and on the shore all set their eyes on Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi dismounted unhurriedly, came to more than 800 brothers as usual, and after slowly glancing at the brothers with different expressions and moods, he said loudly with deep affection:
"Brothers, although you choose to stay, you are still the best Chinese soldiers, although they have different isms, but they yearn for the same ideal of national reunification and national rejuvenation!"
"On behalf of the 555 Communists and all the brothers of the garrison, I wish you well! As a member of the Communist Party, I sincerely hope that the remaining brothers will always remember the historical mission of the Chinese soldiers! ”
"Brothers, take care!"
After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, held his head high and solemnly saluted.
More than 800 brothers were agitated, all of them raised their hands to salute the head of the regiment who was about to leave, and the long-suppressed cries and retentionary sounds were heard, and more than 3,000 brothers on the ship stood up and saluted in return, and their red eyes were full of strong reluctance.

July 29, 6:50 a.m., Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, Committee of Former Enemies of the Rebel Army.
As soon as the seven-hour military preparatory meeting ended, the red-eyed members went back to rest, and only five military leaders, including Director Zhou, Zhu Yujie, and Liu Mingzhao, remained in the smoky conference room.
"Report to Director Zhou, the secret message has been translated."
The intelligence staff officer strode in front of Director Zhou, his face full of excitement.
Director Zhou was in good spirits, took the telegram and read it carefully, and happily informed everyone half a minute later: "Ladies and gentlemen, Comrade Zheng Yi led more than 3,600 soldiers and a large number of weapons and ammunition on four freighters to successfully pass through the Wuhan-Ezhou section at 5 o'clock in the morning, and is expected to arrive in Nanchang in 36 hours!" ”
"So fast? This Zheng Yi is amazing! Liu Mingzhao was sincerely admired.
Zhu Yujie was also very happy: "On the voyage of about 300 kilometers from Ezhou to Nanchang, Comrade Zheng Yi and his team took four freighters down the river, and it is not fast to walk 300 kilometers in 36 hours, so it is estimated that he has room for it...... If it's on time, it'll be tomorrow evening. ”
Director Zhou was in a good mood: "I guessed that Comrade Zheng Yi would take the waterway before, but I didn't expect him to move so fast, and he would be safe after crossing the Ezhou River. ”
"Now that Lao Jiang's army is still in Jiangbei and has not withdrawn, Jiujiang and Hukou are all our people, Comrade Zheng Yi and they will not be in any danger."
"Isn't Comrade Zheng Yi on the ship? How can you send us a telegram? Yun Daiying, who was napping on the sofa, woke up at some point.
Director Zhou explained with a smile: "Comrade Zheng Yi's garrison regiment has a communication company, and the chief and deputy company commanders of this company are all Communist Party members...... I remember that not long after the end of the Second Eastern Crusade, Comrade Zheng Yi sent three comrades with a good foundation to Hong Kong to study in a telecommunications training course run by the British for half a year! ”
"After returning from their studies, the three comrades began to form a communications platoon, and after more than a year of development, it has now become a communications company with 75 professional officers and men.
Liu Mingzhao immediately made a suggestion: "If this is the case, can Comrade Zheng Yi not be allowed to support a few communications talents of our former enemy committee?" Now there are only three reliable transmitters and receivers and translators, so they can't keep busy! ”
Yun Daiying echoed continuously: "This is a big problem!" Not to mention our former enemy committee, even the 20th Army and other divisions of He Huzi still do not have radio stations, and it is very inconvenient to communicate with each other, and it is not safe to run away if there is any emergency. ”
"Let's not say that Zheng Yi is willing to volunteer, does he have so many radio stations there?" Zhu Yujie asked.
Director Zhou nodded slightly: "As far as I know, Zheng Yi's communication company has four state-of-the-art radio stations, all of which are products of the German company Siemens, two of which are 50-watt high-power radios, and I estimate that the 50-watt high-power radio he used to send us messages on the ship." ”
"As for whether Comrade Zheng Yi is willing, I don't think it's a problem, he is a person with a great sense of the overall situation, and he is still a rich man, and he paid 1,000 pounds for the first time he paid the party dues, which was converted into tens of thousands of yuan, so he will not be reluctant to give up one or two radio stations."
Everyone smiled.
Zhu Yujie proposed: "Is it not to hold a small-scale welcome ceremony, so that we can get to know the generals of various armies and Zheng Yi?" ”
"I agree!"
Liu Mingzhao was the first to approve.
Yun Daiying thought for a while: "Time is completely in time, as long as Comrade Zheng Yi can arrive before tomorrow evening, I will also welcome him, but in order not to arouse the vigilance of the enemy in the city, I suggest that Comrade Zheng Yi land at the Guazhou Wharf, which is fifteen kilometers north of the city." ”
"Agreed! Don't forget that Comrade Zheng Yi said in his telegram that he brought a large number of weapons and ammunition, and when it comes to his identity as a major general and supervisor of the Wuhan Military Station, it is estimated that the number will not be small, and it is undoubtedly timely for the various departments that lack weapons and ammunition! Director Zhou added.
……
……
July 30, 3:50 p.m.
More than 3,000 elite soldiers led by Zheng Yi arrived at the Guazhou Wharf 15 kilometers north of Nanchang on four freighters.
