Chapter 68 Independent Division

Two hours later, Xu Guoren gathered all the officers and men of the brigade on the playground in the south of the city in accordance with Chen Zhiyuan's suggestion, and Chen Zhiyuan even took out a red flag that had been treasured for a long time and hung it on the barricade in the playground.

In the upper left corner of the red flag, there is a pattern of a hammer and a sickle, which Xu Guoren understands is the flag of the Chinese Communist Party.

After glancing at the party flag respectfully, Xu Guoren turned to face the troops, looking at the more than 5,000 soldiers under his command, Xu Guoren secretly took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Brothers, I don't need to say it, everyone should also know that the corrupt officials in the provincial government have mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses, ready to encircle and suppress our independent 88th Brigade, the last time I killed the county magistrate Wu Xing and others, I said, my life is up to me!"

We will not rest on our laurels and will fight to the death against any enemy who wants to destroy us! Convening you today is not only a pledge meeting, but also a meeting to change the flag.

We are all from poor backgrounds, who has not been bullied and oppressed by local tyrants and inferior gentry, landlords, bullies and corrupt officials? And now, there is an organization dedicated to fighting for the poor to be the masters of their own affairs, and she is the Communist Party of China!

I have decided to lead everyone to join the Communist Party of China and fight for the overthrow of oppression and exploitation and the liberation of hundreds of millions of poor compatriots across the country! Would you like to? ”

Xu Guoren really wanted to shout the slogan of fighting to resist Japan and save the country and defend the country, but the September 18 incident had not yet broken out, so he could only change it temporarily.

In these years, 100% of those who are soldiers are from poor backgrounds, if there is a way to live, who wants to be a soldier in this troubled world? Therefore, Xu Guoren's words can be regarded as speaking to their hearts.

From their parents to their own families, who has not been bullied and oppressed by those rich and unkind landlords, bullies, their children and even minions?

In addition, Xu Guoren is the founder of the 88th Independent Brigade and has an irreplaceable soul status in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, so the vast majority of the officers and soldiers responded in unison from the bottom of their hearts: "We are willing!" ”

"Very well, the brothers will swear an oath to the party flag with me!" As he spoke, Xu Guoren took the lead and turned to face the party flag.

"Everyone take the oath with me!" Chen Zhiyuan solemnly stood beside the party flag, raised his right hand and clenched his fist and said: "I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China!" ”

"I volunteer to join the Communist Party of China!" Under the leadership of Xu Guoren, thousands of officers and men of the 88th Independent Brigade swore an oath in unison, and the scene was very spectacular and moving.

"Resolutely implement the party's discipline, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, and fight for the cause of communism all your life! Always ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people! Never betray the party! Chen Zhiyuan continued to say solemnly.

"Resolutely implement the party's discipline, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of sacrifice, and fight for the cause of communism all your life! Always ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people! Never betray the party! Xu Guoren and others and thousands of officers and soldiers swore in unison again, and the neat voices gathered together, soaring into the sky, resounding over the entire Pingyang.

After the oath was completed, Chen Zhiyuan immediately showed a happy smile, walked over to Xu Guoren, Guo Hu, Guo Danian and others and saluted first, and then said with a smile: "We are comrades!" ”

"Hmm!" Xu Guoren said: "Do you have any instructions for the next organizational step?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan said: "Organizationally, we were instructed to organize an uprising in Pingyang on the spot and open up a revolutionary base in northern Hebei!" ”

"Okay, anyway, there will be a battle between the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army! Revolt today! Xu Guoren immediately decided.

Chen Zhiyuan took out an order from his body and said to Xu Guoren: "This is, half an hour ago, I received a call back from the organization and a letter of appointment. ”

Xu Guoren took it and looked at it, it was all traditional characters, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and handed it to Chen Zhiyuan: "Old Chen, it's better for you to read it to everyone!" ”

"According to the organizational order, the 88th Independent Brigade is specially reorganized into the Hebei Independent Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with Xu Guoren as the division commander, Chen Zhiyuan as the political commissar and party representative, and the rest of the officers at all levels are appointed by Xu and Chen after consultation, and it can be reported to the organization for filing and approval." Chen Zhiyuan looked up at Xu Guoren and the others, paused, and continued: "In view of the fact that your unit is far away in North China, surrounded by strong enemies, and the situation is special, Xu and Chen are hereby given full responsibility for the development of the revolutionary base areas in northern Hebei and the Red Army troops, that is, Xu Guoren is fully responsible for the military affairs, and Chen Zhiyuan is fully responsible for political work and life!"

Whether the regiments under the original subordinates should be expanded into brigades or still be organized as divisional regiments, and after discussion between the two of you, a decision should be made according to the actual situation of your unit and reported to the organization. ”

After Guo Hu listened, he couldn't help but say happily: "Brigade commander, if you change like this, you will become a division commander!" ”

Xu Guoren smiled indifferently, he didn't care about the brigade commander or the division commander, because the most urgent thing at the moment was to find a way to defeat the encirclement and suppression that the enemy was about to launch. As for the status in the future, it is still too early to say.

The independent division was thus established, and Chen Zhiyuan took out his radio station and set up a communications office of the division headquarters with which he was also the director.

Guo Shiyin found Xu Guoren, looked at him with some resentment, and said, "You really decided to join the Communist Party?" ”

Xu Guoren nodded and said: "That's right, only the Communist Party can save China, and you will understand in the future." And I was cornered by the national government and the gang in the provincial government, you can see it. ”

Guo Shiyin nodded lightly, gritted her teeth and decided, "Then am I going to leave?" ”

Xu Guoren immediately said: "Of course not, you are my lover, and you will also be my mother-in-law in the future, of course I am there, you are there." ”

"But my identity is Zhongtong." Guo Shi said.

"I don't tell you, no one knows." Xu Guoren said: "Moreover, your identity can also provide a good source of intelligence for the troops, so we can act in the future, so you can't go." ”

In fact, Xu Guoren plans to confess to Chen Zhiyuan when the time is ripe, and be Guo Shiyin's introducer to join the party, so that Guo Shiyin can continue to obtain useful information for himself as a central commander.

At this time, Chen Zhiyuan came over, Xu Guoren signaled Guo Shiyin to clean up his mood, walked past her and walked towards Chen Zhiyuan and asked, "Old Chen, you came to me for something?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile: "We will be comrades in the future, Guoren, you can call me political commissar, I will call you the division commander, and you don't need to call me Chen Lao anymore, comrades are all equals!" ”

Xu Guoren waved his hand and said: "How can it be so troublesome, it is still the same as it was, how convenient and how to call it." ”

"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Chen Zhiyuan didn't care about these things, the friendship between him and Xu Guoren had already surpassed the friendship between ordinary revolutionary comrades, and it was not an exaggeration to be as close as family.

After a pause, he took out a telegram and handed it to Xu Guoren and said: "You see, this is the telegram I have planned for the uprising, if there is no problem, I will send it out, and the telegram will announce that our Pingyang uprising has been announced." ”

Xu Guoren took it and looked at it, and said after a moment of silence: "Old Chen, I think it's beneficial for us not to issue this kind of uprising statement for the time being, think about it, if we don't send this telegram for the time being, then at least the young marshal's Northeast Army should not do anything to us."

However, if we send this telegram, the nature will be different, and this will greatly increase the military pressure on us, and I think it is better to hold this telegram for the time being, and when we have completely gained a foothold, it will not be too late to send it when the time is ripe! ”

Chen Zhiyuan felt that what Xu Guoren said was also reasonable, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, according to what you said, listen to you militarily, when do you think it is beneficial, let's send it again." ”

Xu Guoren nodded and asked, "By the way, Elder Chen, now can I get the intelligence sharing support of our underground party intelligence organization?" ”

Chen Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Of course, what do you want to know?" I will immediately get in touch with the notice of the underground party in North China through the telegram and try to satisfy you as much as possible. ”

"I want to know how many troops the enemy has mobilized at present, which troops are preparing to encircle and suppress us, and the enemy's troop deployment, the more detailed the better." Xu Guoren said.

"Okay, you wait patiently, I'll get in touch." Chen Zhiyuan said.
