Li Kenong handed the message to Deng Fa, Deng Fa frowned and read the message carefully, then handed the message to Qian Zhuangfei's hand, and said, "The three of us will go to see Vice Chairman Zhou immediately!" ”

With a telegram, the three hurried to the General Headquarters of the Red Army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Inside the headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Vice Chairman Zhou, Bo Gu, Li De, and Liu Bocheng were gathered in front of a military map on the table, discussing how to break the enemy's fifth encirclement and suppression.

"The three of you must have something particularly important when you come here, right?" Vice Chairman Zhou raised his head and looked at Deng Fa and the three people who walked in and asked.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, there is indeed important information, Comrade Cuttlefish in Shanghai called and said that Chiang Kai-shek held a secret military meeting in Lushan on the 22nd and formulated an iron bucket plan to encircle and suppress our Central Red Army!"

Deng Fa handed the telegram in his hand to Vice Chairman Zhou.

"Oh? The Iron Bucket Project? Let me see. Vice Chairman Zhou took the telegram from Deng.

"The plan is vicious, and the situation is critical!"

Vice Chairman Zhou looked at the message, frowned, and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong? Comrade Enlai. Commander-in-Chief Zhu next to him asked.

"Mr. Zhu, look at it, Lao Jiang plans to mobilize 1.5 million troops to encircle our Central Red Army, it seems that he is fully prepared this time, and he is determined to win! I suggest that we think about our retreat plan in advance. ”

Vice Chairman Zhou swept over everyone's faces with worry with his deep gaze.

"I think Lao Mao should be notified immediately, let him rush from Yudu to Ruijin, and everyone will discuss countermeasures collectively!" After reading the telegram, Commander-in-Chief Zhu suggested loudly.

"Lao Mao has a serious cold, and I heard that the fever has not subsided." Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Lift it and bring it back!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu said loudly.

"We are determined to keep the enemy out of the country and use positional warfare to counter the enemy's iron-barreled planned attack! Our valiant Red Army is invincible! ”

After listening to the contents of the telegram translated by Bogu for him, the German adviser Li De clenched his fists in both hands and roared loudly in Chinese, which he was not fluent in.

"Over the past year, the area of our base areas in the Central Soviet Region has gradually shrunk under the pressure of the enemy step by step, and if we fight a positional war again, our Central Red Army will be able to fight this foundation." Liu Bocheng pointed to the map on the table and said.

"Comrade Bogu, I suggest that Lao Mao should be notified immediately and asked to return to Ruijin for a meeting." Vice Chairman Zhou proposed again.

"Okay, notify Lao Mao immediately and rush back to Ruijin as soon as possible." Bogu glanced at Li De and finally agreed to a meeting.

"Lao Mao, Lao Mao, is there no other way than guerrilla and escapism?!" Li De pointed to the map on the table with his right finger in dissatisfaction, and lost his temper loudly.

"Comrade Li De, the minority obeys the majority."

Bogu helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose to remind Li De.

……

In the Varsha West Restaurant, Feng Chen finished sending the telegram and returned to Lawrence's office with Lu Haifang.

"It's done so soon?" Uncle Cai saw Feng Chen come in, added water to Feng Chen's cup and asked.

"There are too many contents of the Iron Bucket Project, I just sent the general meaning over, and I thought that someone should send the detailed information in person." Feng Chen replied.

"Now that all the lines of communication from Shanghai to the Central Soviet Region have been destroyed by the enemy, even if you don't even think of sending a piece of paper, how easy is it to send people to send intelligence?" Uncle Cai frowned and looked at Feng Chen and said.

"Comrade Shuhou, can you contact the Teko Red Team?" Feng Chen asked.

"I can't get in touch, and I don't have a crossover with the RED team!" Cai Shuhou replied.

"That's the only way to do it first, Comrade Shuhou, how should I contact you in the future?"

"If you want to contact me in the future, you can come directly to the Walsha West Restaurant and find Comrade Lu Haiphong." Uncle Cai pointed to Lu Haifang, who was sitting next to Feng Chen, and replied.

"It's not ...... Mr. Walton...... Feng Chen asked in a hurry.

"At present, this is a special period, there are not many underground organizations of our party in Shanghai, and the party organizations that have not been destroyed by the enemy have also entered a state of silence, so we are temporarily working under the leadership of Walton."

Uncle Cai understood what Feng Chen wanted to ask, and patiently explained to Feng Chen.

"Comrade Shuhou, I think that only by sending the detailed iron bucket plan documents to the Soviet area can the central authorities make a better correct judgment and better formulate a countermeasure."

"Comrade Feng Chen, since you insist on sending the detailed Tietong plan documents to the Soviet area, then I will find a comrade who can take on the important task as soon as possible."

……

As a matter of fact, when Feng Chen was thinking about how to send the "Iron Bucket Plan" to the Central Soviet Region in its entirety, a comrade had already set off from De'an, Jiangxi Province, with a detailed "Iron Bucket Plan" to the Central Soviet Region to transmit information.

This comrade's name is Xiang Younian.

Xiang Younian, a native of Liancheng, Fujian, joined the party organization in 1925 and transferred to the Red Team of the Central Special Branch in 1927.

In 1929, Xiang Younian and his comrades-in-arms of the Special Branch Red Team were ambushed day and night on Xiafei Road in Shanghai, killing Bai Xin, a traitor who betrayed the main leader of our party.

After Gu Shunzhang's rebellion, Comrade Xiang Younian left Shanghai and lurked in the Fourth Security Command of Jiangxi Province of the Nationalist Government as an intelligence staff officer.

How did Comrade Xiang Younian get Chiang Kai-shek's iron bucket plan?

It turned out that when Chiang Kai-shek held a secret military meeting in Lushan, Mo Xiong, commander of the Fourth Security Command of Jiangxi Province, also attended the meeting and was responsible for the security work during the meeting.

This Mo Xiong is a famous general of the Cantonese Army, joined the League at the age of 16, followed the revolution of Mr. Zhongshan, fought bravely and skillfully in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, and performed many miraculous feats, and had a high prestige in the Kuomintang Party.

Mo Xiong participated in the famous Huanghuagang Uprising, the defense of the country against Yuan, the crusade against Chen Jiongming and other wars, and successively served as a company, battalion, regiment, brigade, division, security commander and other positions. He is known as "Big Brother Mo" in the Kuomintang Party.

After the death of Mr. Zhongshan, Chiang Kai-shek, in order to seize the military power of the Cantonese army, falsely called the 11th Division commanded by Mo Xiong as the "*** army" and disarmed on the spot.

Subsequently, Mo Xiong participated in the anti-Chiang campaign organized by Zhang Fakui twice, but was unsuccessful.

In 1930, Mo Xiong came to Shanghai and found Song Ziwen, the Minister of Finance of the Kuomintang, who gave Mo Xiong a job as an inspector of the Ministry of Finance.

During his stay in Shanghai, Mo Xiong happened to meet his old subordinate, Liu Mufo, who had served as the director of the Political Department of the 11th Division of the Guangdong Army, and he was very happy to reunite, but Mo Xiong did not know that Liu Mufo was already a special officer of the Communist Party of China at this time.

A person like Mo Xiong, who has high prestige in the KMT, a strong sense of justice, a bold personality, and a helpful personality, is exactly what Tecko is looking for.

Under the introduction of Liu Mufo, Xiang Younian, Yan Xichun and others of Tek established contacts with Mo Xiong, and in the process of mutual exchanges, these people often propagandized and introduced revolutionary principles to Mo Xiong, which made Mo Xiong's thinking fundamentally change.

Mo Xiong once proposed to join the Communist Party, but after organizational research, he believed that Mo Xiong's identity was special and it was not suitable to join the party organization, and replied to Mo Xiong:

"Mr. Mo is a revolutionary predecessor and a loyal believer of Mr. Zhongshan, and we welcome his request to join the Communist Party, but organizational research believes that Mr. Mo has old seniority and extensive connections in the Kuomintang Party, and for the sake of convenience in his work, it is appropriate not to join the Communist Party for the time being."

"In the future, I hope that Mr. Mo can help us in whatever is beneficial to our party, and we will be very satisfied if we can do this."

Since then, Mo Xiong has stayed in the Kuomintang as a supernumerary party member, and has been secretly helping the Communist Party and the revolution.

In October last year, Mo Xiong was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as the administrative inspector of the Fourth District of Jiangxi and the commander of the Fourth Security Command on the recommendation of Yang Yongtai, director of the Kuomintang Nanchang Xingying Political Department.

After Chiang Kai-shek appointed Mo Xiong, he ordered him to organize his own men and horses to be used against the Red Army.

In order to confuse Chiang Kai-shek, under the planning and operation of underground party members such as Liu Mufo and Xiang Younian, Mo Xiong's security forces fought several battles with the Red Army.

During the battle, the two sides agreed to deliberately create the illusion of the Red Army's defeat and retreat, but in fact, Mo Xiong skillfully sent a large amount of ammunition and supplies to the Red Army, and let the Red Army soldiers in the area under his jurisdiction lurk and disperse to rest.

In this way, they did not really fight the Red Army, but also gained the trust of the above.
