The concern for the common people in the Soviet area kept Zhang Cheng awake at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Late at night, he found Ye Wenzhen alone and said, "Captain Ye, I'm afraid you won't be able to go on a long march with the big army this time!" ”

Ye Wenzhen reluctantly said: "Master, I want to go north with you to fight devils." ”

Listening to Ye Wenzhen's reluctant words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Who told you not to fight devils, there will be about two or three years before you can return to the team." By keeping you in the southern region this time, you must also know your task and duty, which is to protect the common people in the Soviet area. After the Long March of our Red Army, I judged that the white dogs would vent their anger on the common people in the Soviet area, so I must leave you behind and send me all the beasts who wantonly slaughtered the people to hell, and I will kill them to stop killing.

In short, you remain in the South, and you will be on a beheading mission, and those butchers who wantonly slaughter civilians will need to be investigated and prepared in detail. However, there is another major reason, I hope that in the southern region, there will also be a special operations brigade, our army will always want to liberate the whole of China, we should have a long-term vision, and the role of the special operations brigade should not be limited to a certain region, but should look at the whole of China.

I have reached a consensus with the people of the division's party committee, and I will immediately set up the Southern 'Red Arrow' Special Operations Brigade, with you as the first chief officer of the special operations brigade. When you bring out a team that is not inferior to the 'Blade' Special Operations Brigade, I allow you to go north to find troops and return to the formation. ”

Ye Wen was really happy; "Commander, can I come back and follow you in the future?"

Zhang Cheng knew that Ye Wenzhen was not dissatisfied with the task, but was reluctant to leave the big family of the Young Communist Division, and he said movingly: "Of course you can come back, you will always be a member of our Young Communist International Division." However, I also hope that you can take the 'Red Arrow' special operations team well, the 'Sharp Blade' special operations team has a total of three squads, and I specially leave the first detachment to you, hoping that you can expand our special operations team in the south. As the first special combat team member to follow me, you are the only one who can take charge now. I hope you don't let me down! ”

Ye Wenzhen shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, I, Ye Wenzhen, will never let you down!" ’

Zhang Cheng nodded and said appreciatively, "I believe that you can successfully complete the task I have entrusted to you, and make all internal and external enemies terrified when they hear the name of 'Red Arrow'." However, if you stay in the Soviet area, your strength is weak, so you should not be in a hurry to act, but should maintain close contact with the local guerrillas, find out the local environment as soon as possible, and then look for an appropriate opportunity to strike after you are familiar with the surrounding enemy situation.

Once it is judged which people are slaughtering the people wantonly, they must be ruthlessly and resolutely eliminated to stop the killing. In short, I hope that you 'Red Arrow' can do it, if you don't make a move, you will see blood seal your throat. Moreover, you are not alone, the Political Department of our Young Communist Division also left an underground intelligence officer in the Soviet area, codenamed 'Sparrow', what information do you need, you can get in touch with him on a single line, the last sentence of the contact password is 'Don't be obsessed with brother', the next sentence is 'brother is just a legend', remember clearly. ”

Although Ye Wenzhen thought this password was very funny, he still replied seriously: "Remember clearly, the liaison codename is 'Sparrow', and the password 'Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend.'" ’”

Zhang Cheng nodded, then took out a note, handed it to Ye Wenzhen and said: "This is the list and address of the seriously wounded people left by our Young Communist Division in the Soviet area to take care of the common people, you will burn it immediately after you memorize it, this list is only known to you and Sparrow, and you also have a task to protect the seriously injured who remain in the Soviet area and help them return to the organization as soon as possible." In addition, in the current cruel revolutionary environment, there are people in our army who will betray the revolution and become traitors and betray their comrades.

Ye Wenzhen said loudly: "Yes, resolutely complete the task!" ”

After some advice, Ye Wenzhen immediately left the large army with a special operations team, which numbered less than 30 people, and set off a bloody storm in the southern region in the future. All the enemies were terrified, and those white dogs who originally wanted to wantonly slaughter the people were even more terrified by their iron-blooded and ruthless methods, thus protecting the lives of the vast majority of ordinary people in the Soviet area.

On October 21, 1934, the vanguard of the 1st and 3rd Army Corps of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army began a forced assault along the blockade line of the Cantonese army along the predetermined target, and tore a hole in the southern part of the defense line of the Kuomintang army, which was tightly encircled by the central Soviet area. Since the departure from Yudu, for several nights in a row, a mighty procession consisting of the column of the Military Commission and the main force of the Red Army has moved slowly. At such a pace, they had to walk at least 3 nights to reach the borders of the Soviet zone.

This is a "Yongdao" style of travel. The contingent in the middle of the "Yongdao" was the column of the Central Committee of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, the organs of the Soviet government, and the General Headquarters of the Red Army. It was a long queue of nearly 15,000 people: heads of party, government and military, old people and women, guards and logisticians; all kinds of boxes made of tin sheets, wooden planks or pieces of bamboo; machine parts and luggage items tied with straw ropes; All kinds of strange shapes and different colors of baggage.

All of this makes the march of this team extremely slow. As they climbed the mountain, the soldiers and men carrying large items shouted trumpets and moved up little by little, and they cheered with each huge box they moved. The weight of the loads of silver dollars, salt, and rice was not light, and the people needed to stop for a moment to catch their breath. As they walked, the women talked about where their husbands had gone.

Bo Gu, the head of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, rode on a horse, looked at the procession stretching towards the horizon, and recalled the feats of human march that he knew, such as the famous Russian general Suvorov, who led his invincible army across the towering Alps in 1799 to aid the Russian army fighting in Switzerland......

A foreign adviser from the Comintern, riding on a tall and strong mule, later recalled that he had been reciting the description of the famous Soviet writer Serafimovich in "The Iron Stream": "The crowd of people, the walking and the wounded, and the dozens of miles of road were filled with columns......

Dr. Fu Lianhuan, director of the Central General Health Department, sat in a sedan chair followed by eight large boxes containing medical equipment and various medicines, which caused heated discussions among the Red Army soldiers.

But what the Red Army soldiers didn't know was that Fu Lianhuan, who was once the director of the church hospital, donated all his family property and the entire hospital to the Red Army, and 170 people moved for half a month to move the hospital that the Red Army urgently needed to move to Ruijin.

After joining the Red Army, Fu Lianhuan treated countless Red Army officers and soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield, including Wang Jiaxiang, Cai Shufan, Wu Xiuquan, Fang Qiang, and Wu Zhonghao...... He later went through the arduous war years with the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Party and the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and became a true communist, whose political convictions were as firm and his political character as no less noble than those who called themselves "real Bolsheviks". Fu Lianhuan, who understood the rules of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, was reluctant to sit in a sedan chair, and he had deliberately practiced riding horses before, but repeatedly fell off the horse.

Fu Lianhuan kept looking back in the sedan chair, and those big boxes were a hospital. Sometimes he could see the chairman. The chairman's malaria was not yet fully cured, but he did not ride a horse, and he walked with his arms in a characteristic posture, his eyes looking far away.

There is also Mr. Zhu, who wanted to give him a stretcher when he set off, but the boss said that he only needed horses, and he wanted two, one for him to ride, and one for his documents. He was a man who was always optimistic, his belt was tightly tied, a small pistol was pinned to his waist, and he strode and laughed with the people next to him, and the guards led the two horses to follow him.

In front of and on the left and right of the two columns of the Central Military Commission, was the main force of the Central Red Army. The 1st and 3rd Corps were located on the left and right sides of the front of the CMC column, the 8th and 9th Army Corps were on the left and right sides of the CMC column, and the 5th Army Corps served as the rear guard at the rear of the entire CMC column.

In the words of Chief of General Staff Liu of the Red Army, the starting formation of the military transfer is like the main force of the Red Army carrying an "eight-carrying sedan chair," and what needs to be protected in the sedan chair is the "new daughter-in-law" who has no ability to resist, and this "new daughter-in-law" is the two huge and lengthy columns of the Central Military Commission.

If there is any merit in this marching formation designed by the foreign advisers, it is that in the long march ahead, no matter how brutal the battle and how much sacrifice the main force of the Red Army suffered, the contingent of tens of thousands of people walking in the middle of the "Yongdao" suffered few combat casualties.

The transferred contingent rested during the day, and the Reds slept in civilian houses or in the bushes. Dinner starts at half past five o'clock in the evening every day, and then the team sets off. It won't be long before the team needs to light the torches.

There are basically three kinds of night lighting appliances in the Red Army: lit bamboo chips, bamboo downlights fueled by pine resin or foreign oil, and horse lanterns used by the columns of the Central Military Commission and the company, battalion, and regimental headquarters of various units. The bamboo lamp filled with foreign oil and the horse lantern used foreign oil belonged to the high-level lighting equipment in the Red Army, because there was not much foreign oil carried, and this kind of thing soon disappeared in the days to come. Thus, the march at the beginning of the mass transfer of the Red Army can be called the brightest march on the land at night.

The overwhelming majority of Red Army soldiers did not fully understand the situation of the Red Army at this time. More than half of the recruits were in new uniforms, backpacks, legging straps, belts, hats, rifle bullets in pockets and several grenades hanging from their chests were also newly manufactured. They each prepared 3 pairs of straw sandals and 10 days' food, and the burden of food and official documents that followed behind the team made them walk steadily and at ease, so they sang the "Victory Counterattack Song" they had just learned during the march.

The Red Army was approaching the junction of the Soviet zone and the White zone, and it began to rain incessantly, and the pace of the march of the brigade was even slower. In the middle of the night, the procession was going round and forth in the mountains, and from time to time it was necessary for all the people to stop, because there was a cliff ahead, and it was not possible to pass through until the large luggage and suitcases were passed.

The officers and soldiers who stopped began to doze off, the recruits fell asleep, the veterans squatted on the ground and smoked, and the light of the smoke pot flickered. Sometimes, as soon as the team stopped, it did not move for a long time, and the anxious commander ran all the way to the front, only to find that a few recruits were sleeping dead in the dark. So he quickly woke them up, and the whole team began to squirm again. The path in the autumn rain was trampled by thousands of people, and it became a sparse mud ditch, and people kept slipping and falling.

Soldiers and men with burdens slid down the cliff, and the boxes that rolled down broke, and the contents were scattered halfway up the hillside, and when you looked closely, sometimes all you spilled were banknotes. The shoes of the burden-bearers soon wore out, and there were no new shoes for them, so they wrapped their feet in rotten cloth, but their feet were still swollen.

Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from their hometowns and were about to enter the white zone, some bold people threw down their burdens and ran away, and the timid ones pleaded with the Red Army cadres: "If you go farther, you will die if you go back and be arrested as a Red Army!" ”

Although the enemy had been driven away by the vanguard after entering the White Zone, the Red officers and men realized that they had finally left the Soviet Zone, because they could no longer see the wooden sign of the "Workers' and Peasants' Government," there were no more red flags displayed on the roadside, and there were no local armed comrades standing on the roadside to bring them bowls of hot water.

The villages were deserted and silent in the dark, and the Red Army cadres repeatedly told the soldiers to be vigilant in battle after entering the white zone, because even if there was no resistance from the enemy's regular troops, the reactionary forces like militias, organized spontaneously by the landlords and gentry, were extremely cruel to the stragglers or wounded Red Army.

On October 25, 1934, tens of thousands of men and horses of the two columns of the Central Military Commission safely crossed the Taojiang River between the narrow "corridors" opened up by the Red officers and men with their blood and lives, and under the strict cover of the main forces of the Red Army on both sides. At this point, at the cost of more than 3,700 casualties, the Central Red Army broke through the first blockade line set up by the Kuomintang Army and broke out of the Central Soviet District, which had been besieged by the Kuomintang Army for four years.
