Seeing the muzzle of the black hole, the county magistrate, the head of the security regiment, the chief of the police department, the chief of the tax bureau, the director of the finance bureau, a businessman, the leader of the robe and other leaders of Yibin all fell silent, and the women dressed in fancy clothes first screamed and screamed, and then arched behind their men. A stench began to permeate the hall.

Zhong Zanda, political commissar of the New Corps of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, dressed in the costume of a Sichuan Army officer, walked to the small stage in the hall singing operas, glanced at these chaotic guys who had money to listen to the opera for fun, and said loudly in Sichuan: "You guys are fools, you know how to listen to operas and eat flowers and wine all day long, and after a while, General Pan Wenhua, the commander-in-chief of the South Sichuan Road bandits, will accompany the senior officials from Nanjing to Yibin for inspection, be careful that he shoots you all." Now, at my command, everyone stood in three rows, ready to greet Commander-in-Chief Pan and the guests from Nanjing. The officials stand in the first row, the gangs stand in the second row, and the business makes a fortune in the third row. The guests stood beside the men of their own family. Move quickly, and those who stand first can see the chief first. ”

As soon as they heard that it was Chief Pan, who was sitting in Luxian County, accompanied the Nanjing officials to inspect, the people were relieved, and there was a little chaos in the hall for a while, and soon they formed a long three rows facing the direction of the river.

Zhong Zan asked loudly: "Is the county magistrate of Yibin here?" ”

The county magistrate responded: "Humble duty." ”

Zhong Zanda asked again: "What about the head of the security regiment?" ”

The head of the security regiment came out to salute: "The head of the lowly Yibin County Security Regiment reports to the chief." ”

Zhong Zan nodded with satisfaction, and then nodded to the police chief, the tax commissioner, the finance director, and the president of the chamber of commerce. Seeing that they were all there, Zhong Zan beckoned, and a squad of [***] soldiers came in. Zhong Zan said with a blank face: "Please ask these chiefs to go to the third floor and wait for Chief Pan to summon them." ”

The heads of several key departments in Yibin looked at the officials, merchants and gang leaders who were still waiting in the hall, and led their wives to follow the [***] soldiers.

The rest of the people in the hall also looked envious and began to chatter. Zhong Zanda said again: "Don't panic, everyone, wait patiently here." After Chief Pan and the chief from Nanjing arrived, you will also have a chance to meet you. With that, he walked away. A few brave people wanted to catch up and ask the commanders when they would arrive, but they were pushed back by the muzzle of the black hole.

In the compound of the Yibin Security Corps, the regimental members are lining up to eat. The regimental soldier standing guard at the door stood bored with a gun in his hand, and the smell of food in the yard went straight to his nostrils. Tuanding's nostrils were itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze with a "sneeze". After sneezing, he muttered in his mouth: "Melon, I don't know which bitch misses Lao Tzu again!" "After muttering, I laughed again in my heart, the cuihua in Yixiangyuan last night was really his grandmother's enough taste, **big, round buttocks, and scratching my brother in my mouth, scratching my brother and screaming non-stop, go again after being laid off for a while, no way, who made Cuihua so seductive?

When I was thinking about beautiful things, I felt that someone was coming, and when I looked up, Mom, why did so many security teams and [***] come. Just as he was about to ask, a small leader of the security team came up, grabbed his gun with his right hand, and then handed it to his left hand, and pulled it into the courtyard with his collar in his right hand. The security team in the back and [***] rushed in. I heard only one [***] leader shout: "Assemble, assemble urgently!" General Pan Wenhui, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan South Road bandits, arrived, and all the soldiers of the security regiment urgently assembled! ”

The group members who were queuing up to eat were reluctant in their hearts, they were eating, what kind of egg did Pan Wenhua's turtle son come to make trouble? Reluctantly to reluctantly, more than 1,000 security guards still stood in line in an orderly manner. The officer on duty also ran forward and saluted a [***] officer and reported: "The Yibin County Security Corps has been assembled, please give a lecture." ”

The [***] officer arrogantly didn't even salute, and asked coldly: "Are you all here?" ”

The duty officer reported that except for those standing guard at the city gate, only the regiment commander took the three battalion commanders to listen to the play, and the rest of the people had arrived.

The officer nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Brothers, we are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and you have been captured!" ”

As if they hadn't heard, the soldiers didn't react at all.

Wang Dahu felt that he was a failure, and he had already said that we were the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and you were captured. Why didn't the soldiers of this security regiment react at all? Could it be that he is not dignified enough and does not speak clearly enough? He repeated loudly: "We are the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and you have been captured!" ”

Still there was no response, Wang Dahu was impatient, and was about to order the soldiers to arrest them, when the officer on duty smiled and said: "Sir, don't play with us, if you are a Red Army, then won't we also become a Red Army?" ”

Only then did Wang Dahu know that Yibin had been peaceful for a long time, and people were busy making money and did not have a sense of crisis. Think about it, starting from Zunyi, the flying soldiers attacked Yibin, not to mention that these security regiments couldn't think of it, didn't Chiang Kai-shek, Xue Yue, Liu Xiang, and Pan Wenhua not think of it? If we could, we wouldn't be here.

Wang Dahu felt that he and his comrades-in-arms were simply the heavenly soldiers and generals in myths and legends, and the pride in his heart came up with a loud voice: "Open your eyes and see, Lao Tzu is not a wreck, Sichuan Army, Lao Tzu is the commander of the first regiment and one battalion of the Central Guard Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Wang Dahu, you remember it for me!" Comrades, do it, arrest them all. ”

Seeing that the guys who were still [***] and the security regiment just now, and insisted that they were the Red Army in a blink of an eye, surrounded them with bright bayonets, machine guns and submachine guns with black holes, the regimental members of the Yibin County Security Regiment believed that the Red Army was really coming and they were captured. The regimental members exploded at once, shouting and running in all directions, until they saw a few of the first runners being stabbed to the ground with bayonets, and the blood beads on the tips of the Red Army bayonets falling little by little, drop by drop, that the regimental soldiers honestly squatted on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, waiting for the Red Army to deal with them.

By the time Liu Yimin entered Yibin, Yibin was firmly under the control of the Red Army.

Liu Yimin had been to Sichuan twice before crossing, but both times he did not go to Yibin, a famous city in southern Sichuan, the first city of the Yangtze River, the bamboo sea in southern Sichuan, and the ancient southern Silk Road, although he lingered in his dreams many times, but he never had the opportunity to know Jing.

After entering Yibin, Liu Yimin's heart chuckled, it turned out that Yibin, which is known as a famous city in southern Sichuan, was so dilapidated at this time! The old-fashioned stone-walled and tile-roofed houses on both sides of the street, some of which still have wooden roofs, all look like they have fallen into disrepair. There was no electricity in the city, and the road was dark. This dog-called warlord only knows how to fight civil wars, grab land, and collect taxes, but he doesn't know how to care about the construction of people's livelihood and make a good Pearl of the Yangtze River look like this.

Huang Su, Liu Jianjian, Li Qing, Wu Zheng and others on the side didn't know what was wrong with the division commander, but they looked unhappy when they entered the city, they didn't speak, and followed silently.

When they arrived at the regimental headquarters of the security regiment, the leaders of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments and the special operations detachment had all gathered to report on their respective situations. The situation of two gunboats of the Sichuan Army and the Sichuan River Public Security River Defense Brigade captured by one of the regiments at the Hejiangmen Wharf attracted Liu Yimin's attention. Liu Yimin thought to himself, this Liu Xiang has the money to buy aircraft and warships, but he has no money to build power stations and roads, which is not a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Xiang led the army out of Sichuan to resist and die in a foreign country in history, which could be regarded as a contribution to the nation, Liu Yimin would simply feel that Liu Xiang and Wang Jialie, He Jian and others are the same dog.

After inquiring about the situation of the two gunboats that had been captured, the Bayu and the Saga, Liu Yimin told He Mingliang, the commander of the engineer regiment who led an engineer battalion to accompany the rapid column, and immediately asked the wharf management department to cooperate with the wharf management department to find the cables for the tugboats, connect the relatively large cargo ships and passenger ships, and form two tugboat fleets respectively, which were towed by two gunboats to send the troops to Leshan. Special attention should be paid to interrogating the captains of the two gunboats, calculating the load capacity, and not overloading it too much, causing the cable to break or the shipwreck. If other motor boats can be found, they will be dealt with in this way, and the speed must be fast, and the troops will soon have to depart.

He Mingliang now admires Liu Yimin's five-body throw, as long as the division commander says that it can be done, then it will definitely be possible, don't ask, take the engineer battalion to find the cable and boat.

Hearing Zhong Zanda's report that the Yibin county magistrate and other officials, gang leaders, and big businessmen were captured in one fell swoop, Liu Yimin laughed and asked Li Qing to lead a battalion to lead these guys to dig up floating wealth, and the way was the way to dig the channel, and it must be dug cleanly. As for those businessmen and gang leaders, Liu Yimin groaned for a long time and said to Zhong Zanda: "Forget it, let's let it go, our army is just passing by, and we don't have the time and energy to deal with them." Leave it to the main force to deal with when it comes up! ”

After Li Qing and Wu Zheng left, Liu Yimin pondered and looked at the many warehouses in Yibin, and the book recorded that this is the largest cargo distribution center in southern Sichuan, which must be reliable. I have to think of getting more materials here, especially copper, in the future, in northern Shaanxi, I can't buy bullets and shells. He immediately ordered Wu Zheng to lead the accompanying baggage battalions to inspect the various wharves and warehouses, focusing on the seizure and confiscation of copper transported from Yunnan, and how much was taken away.

After instructing Liu Jianli to arrange for the artillery battalion, heavy machine gun battalion, cavalry battalion and other troops to enter the city to rest, and informed Cai Zhong to lead the follow-up troops to march to Yibin to converge and report the news of the occupation of Yibin to the central authorities, Liu Yimin led Huang Su, Wang Dahu, Tang Xingying, Li Chengyi and others to Daguanlou.

Ascending the Grand View Tower and looking at the dotted lights of every household in the city, Liu Yimin's mood really improved. Forget it, this era is the darkest era in modern Chinese history, and all over China, the warlords are the same. Although Yibin is dilapidated, at least the freight is smooth, the business is relatively prosperous, and the people are suffering, but the overall situation is much better than that most of the women seen in Guizhou are naked and hiding in the house and dare not go out. As long as we persist in our struggle, as long as the Red Army continues to grow stronger, and defeat Xiao Yuben and overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's rule as soon as possible, we can put an end to all this. When the time comes, the new China will build thousands of cities like Yibin into modern cities.

The moon rose and illuminated the earth. Liu Yimin looked at the Yangtze River under the moonlight, and saw that the water potential slowed down after the confluence of the Min River and the Jinsha River, forming the main stream of the Yangtze River and heading east. The moonlight sprinkled on the surface of the river, illuminating the Yangtze River like mutton fat and white jade. The river breeze blows, and the cold is mixed with a bit of humidity, which makes people feel refreshed.

Liu Yimin was excited, he went to the east of the river, and how many romantic characters were swept through the ages! Perhaps a few years later, future generations will also say that they are heroes when they judge themselves. But no matter how heroic they are, they will be buried in the smoke and dust of history. Only this year-old river, which flows endlessly, shines with the moon and the earth. It's an eternal spirit! It is hoped that the spirit of our Red Army's struggle for national liberation will always permeate our national spirit, just like this great river.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't help it, Liu Yimin then chanted: "The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea, the bright moon is born together for thousands of miles, and the waves are thousands of miles, where is the Spring River without the moon." ”

Just as he was about to continue chanting, he heard the sound of "Zheng", which seemed to be the sound of a guzheng. Then from the third floor, there came the music played by the guzheng, which was "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

Liu Yimin is feeling strange, who came to this grand view tower to play "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" on this winter night? This man is so enthusiastic and has such high piano skills!

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to finish his reverie, he listened to a delicate female voice chanting accompanied by the guzheng tune: "The river flows around Fangdian, and the moonlight and flowers are like hail." The frost in the air does not fly, and the white sand on the Ting cannot be seen. Jiangtian is colorless and dustless, and the lonely moon wheel in the bright sky. Who first saw the moon on the riverside? When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? Life has been infinite for generations, and Jiang Yue is only similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water. The white clouds are gone, and the green maple is not worried. Who's going to be in the boat tonight? Where is Acacia Moon Tower? Poor upstairs wandering for the moon, should be taken away from the makeup mirror. The jade curtain can't be rolled up, and the clothes are smashed and the anvil is returned. ”

Liu Yimin was listening obsessively, when he heard Tang Xingying beside him snort coldly, and began to recite loudly: "At this time, we don't hear each other, and I am willing to shine on you month by month." The wild goose flies for a long time, and the fish and dragon dive into the water. Last night, the dream of the idle pool fell, and the poor spring did not return home. The river flows to the end of spring, and the moon falls in the river and the lake slopes westward. The oblique moon sinks into the sea fog, and the stone Xiaoxiang has an infinite road. I don't know how many people will return to the moon? Falling flowers are full of love and trees. ”

In the silent night, Tang Xingying's voice became higher and higher, more and more urgent, and the sound of the guzheng upstairs became more and more urgent, completely losing the graceful elegance of the tune. When Tang Xingying finished reciting, the sound of the guzheng also stopped abruptly. Liu Yimin felt very depressed, looked up at Tang Xingying, and saw that the little girl's face was flushed, her chest was rising and falling rapidly, and her eyes were full of tears, so she shook her head and said, "Why bother"?

Just as he was about to step down from the Daguan Building and go back to the security regiment headquarters, he heard the female voice just now say, "Sir, please stay." ”

Liu Yimin felt that this was simply a bit funny, as if he had returned to the plot in Jin Yong and Gu Long's novels, so he stopped and wanted to see who was pretending to be a ghost.

There was a girl downstairs, with short hair for girls who were common in that era, wearing a small satin jacket with blue bottom and floral flowers on the upper body, blue cotton pants on the lower body, and a pair of deep watery eyes on her oval face, which looked very spiritual, beautiful, and beautiful in the moonlight. One stop next to Tang Xingying, it is simply a famous flower and a country that is happy with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

Liu Yimin asked, "Girl, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

The girl thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you Red?" ”

Liu Yimin was taken aback, now in Yibin City, no one knew that they were the Red Army except for the captured soldiers, regimental soldiers, officials, and policemen. How did this girl know?

Without waiting for Liu Yimin to answer, Tang Xingying took out his small pistol, pointed at the girl and shouted fiercely: "Tell me honestly, who are you?" ”

The girl didn't even look at Tang Xingying, and said eagerly to Liu Yimin: "Tell me quickly, are you Red Army?" ”

Liu Yimin pressed Tang Xingying's muzzle and nodded.

The girl said, "My name is Zhao Xiaoman, and my father is a member of the [***] Yibin Special Branch. When they found out that you had seized all the guns of the security regiment and the police, they thought that our Red Army had arrived. They sent me to scout for them. ”

Yibin Special Branch? Liu Yimin thought about it, there are indeed in history. He stepped forward and shook Zhao Xiaoman's hand and said, "Welcome, Comrade Zhao Xiaoman." ”

Zhao Xiaoman said: "Don't go, I'll go back and call them." By the way, there are still our comrades in prison, you can get them out in a moment. ”

Liu Yimin pointed at Huang Su and said: "Comrade Zhao Xiaoman, we have to go back to the Security League Headquarters, this is our Political Commissar Huang, and you will take your comrades directly to the Security League Headquarters to find him in a while." If you have any difficulties, you can tell him and let him help you solve them. ”

Zhao Xiaoman turned around and ran as soon as he agreed, ran a few steps and turned back to Liu Yimin and said: "I want to be a Red Army with you, you have to wait for me, you are not allowed to run!" After saying that, he hurried away.

Li Chengyi looked at Zhao Xiaoman's back and said with a smile: "This girl is as beautiful as our Comrade Tang Xingying, and she can also play the piano." ”

Before he could speak, he heard Tang Xingying snort in his nose, which frightened Li Chengyi and quickly shut up.

Huang Su looked at the moon in the sky and said slowly: "The willow tops on the moon, people are about after dusk." Commander, you're in trouble! ”

Tang Xingying twisted her face and kicked downstairs directly.

Wang Dahu asked Liu Yimin puzzled: "Division commander, why does Comrade Xiao Tang of this logistics department seem to be a little angry." ”

Liu Yimin said angrily: "Shut your mouth, say a few words, no one treats you as a dumb person." ”

Liu Yimin returned to the security regiment headquarters, and Liu Jianli reported that the follow-up troops led by Cai Zhong would be able to reach Yibin in another hour's journey. Liu Yimin asked if there was a call back from the headquarters.

Liu Jianli said: "Yes, the headquarters telegraphed our department to set off immediately after a little repair, and pointed directly at Chengdu, and asked us to stop thinking about cooperating with the main force and concentrate on seizing Chengdu." A regiment and a division are making a hurried march here, and it is expected to arrive in the second half of the night. ”

The corners of Liu Yimin's mouth unconsciously rose with a smile, he could fully imagine that when [***], Zhou Enlai, Zhu De and others received the incomparably joyful look when they received the occupation of Yibin, they must have urgently ordered all the troops to advance towards Yibin day and night.

Liu Jianli saw that Liu Yimin didn't speak, but just smiled faintly, so he asked: "Division commander, is the method you said about using gunboats to tow wooden boats to send troops work?" If it doesn't work, let's take the main road, anyway, no one is checking us now, and it's very fast. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Theoretically, it should work, but it is just a matter of how many boats can be towed." If it doesn't work, you lead the troops to take the main road, and I will lead the special combat team to take a gunboat and meet at Leshan. Now we are racing against the enemy for time, depending on whether we arrived early or if they knew the news of our entry into Sichuan earlier. ”

Liu Jianli said: "I'll urge He Mingliang to see what he does?" ”

On the Hejiangmen wharf, He Mingliang commanded the soldiers of the engineer battalion, and with the help of dock workers, they were connecting gunboats and cargo ships with steel cables. When Liu Jianjian arrived, he found that several Sichuan soldiers were also guiding and helping. After a fleet was connected, He Mingliang asked the soldiers to accompany the crew of the Sichuan gunboat to swim in the river, feeling that the cables were very firmly connected, and began to form a second fleet.

Liu Jianli saw that he couldn't help much, so he was about to go back to the security regiment headquarters, He Mingliang said: "Please tell the division commander that I need three hours to prepare to form twelve large fleets and two small fleets." Just now we found two patrol boats of the tax police and ten motorized cargo ships coming from Yucheng at other docks. In this way, it will be possible to take all the troops away. ”

Liu Jianli said: "What you are talking about transporting the whole division away or three regiments." ”

He Mingliang didn't raise his head, and only said two words: "Whole teacher!" ”

When Liu Jianli returned to the security regiment headquarters, Li Qing and Wu Zheng had already returned with a full load.

Li Qing picked up the bowl from which Liu Yimin drank water, and drank it with a bang. wiped his mouth and said, "Commander, those guys in the passage are simply poor compared to these guys. We went to the county magistrate's house to take a look, good guy, his family lived like a villa, so magnanimous. We found the door of the dark room in the bookcase in his study, and when we went in, we saw that grandma's, the gold barcodes in the cabinet were neatly placed, and the inside was yellow. I'll count, oh my god, it's 1,200. Weigh it, each one weighs a full 1 catty. Count the silver dollars, a full 600,000 pieces. Oh my God, where did this guy get all this money? ”

Liu Yimin was also full of questions.

Li Qing took another sip of water and said: "I interrogated, it turns out that this guy's grandfather was the official of Zhaotong in charge of copper mining in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his father was the official in charge of salt transportation in the Manchu Dynasty, and he was the magistrate of Yibin County for a few years, and then he began to be the county magistrate. Grandma's, the feelings of their family for three generations have been officials who make money. I finally understand that the reason why China is so poor and weak is because of these guys who are short of fat and poor in fat! ”

Wu Zheng said: "It's true, the officials in this place are all fucking corrupt officials, and they have been working for a long time. We searched the house of the head of the security regiment and found 50 gold bars and 750,000 silver dollars; 600,000 silver dollars and 30 gold bars were found at the police chief's house; 45 gold bars with 800,000 silver dollars were found at the home of the director of the tax bureau, and 15 gold bars with 400,000 silver dollars were found at the director of the finance bureau. In total, there were 140 gold bars and 2.55 million silver dollars. ”

Liu Yimin smiled and asked, "You didn't ask how they got so much money?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "I asked, there are mainly four yuan, one is corruption and bribery. The second is to meddle in business, and all kinds of businesses here, such as the Jiyuan, restaurants, shipping, tea and salt sales, and horse gangs, all kinds of businesses have their dry shares, which are divided every year. The third is the sale of strong men and trafficking in women and children. Fourth, opium trafficking. Like the head of the security regiment, he himself admits that he is the biggest opium dealer here. ”

Huang Su said with emotion: "So, these guys have to die!" ”

Liu Yimin calculated, Li Qing and Wu Zheng seized a total of 1,340 gold bars and 3.15 million silver dollars, which was another bumper harvest. It is estimated that Comrade Chen Yun and Comrade Fuchun should laugh again.

No, it seems to be missing a piece. Liu Yimin asked, didn't you go to search the treasury of the tax bureau, the finance bureau, and the county government axe?

Li Qing said: "Don't mention it, it's too late again, let Liu Xiang allocate it to Pan Wenhua for military expenses." I heard that it was only picked up five days ago. ”

Liu Yimin thought for a while and said, "We will bring this money first, and then hand it over to the central government after arriving in Chengdu." Wu Zheng is responsible for transportation and storage. ”

Wu Zheng hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Resolutely complete the task!" ”

As soon as a few people finished talking about this, they saw Zhao Xiaoman carrying a guzheng on his back and a small burden in his hand, leading a few people in. Liu Yimin knew that it was the comrades of the Yibin underground party who had arrived, but he still had to consider the next move, so he asked Huang Su to be in charge of the reception.

After a short time, Huang Su came in and said to Liu Yimin, who was staring at the map of Sichuan that had just been captured: "Division commander, the comrades of the underground party have asked the troops to give them some weapons and ammunition for support. The other is to open the prison and release our comrades. ”

Liu Yimin said: "You are responsible for handling it. They can choose as many weapons and ammunition as they want from the security regiment, and give them some short guns and some money. At the same time, give them a task, we are about to set off, let them organize their forces, cooperate with our new regiments, guard the city gates, and meet the 1st Red Division. Open the prison business, you arrange a unit to do it. However, only our comrades and the wronged masses are allowed to be released, and bandits and robbers who kill people and overstep goods cannot be released. ”

Huang Su said, "Why? ”

Liu Yimin said: "Bandits and robbers are a social cancer, and any regime will suppress them." Even in the future, when we are victorious and establish the people's power, we will also suppress them. ”

Huang Su thought about it, thought about it, or what the division commander said made sense, so he went to pick up guns with the comrades of the underground party.

At half past eight in the evening, Cai Zhong, Feng Dafei, and Yuan Guoping led the follow-up troops into Yibin.

After Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong met, they briefly inquired about the situation, and then ordered the troops to eat and rest immediately, and then board the ship and set off two hours later. The new regiment that ordered Zhou Yi to immediately take over the prisoners of the security regiment and transform them on the spot in Yibin to take on the task of defending the city gate and welcoming the 1st Red Division. After the mission is completed, it will move with the main force and return to Chengdu again.

In view of the fact that the horses occupied too much space on the ship, Liu Yimin decided to concentrate all the pack horses with two battalions of the baggage regiment, escorted by Hu Laohu's cavalry battalion, and advance to Chengdu by the main road. The angry Hu Laohu and Cao Shengli both wanted to quarrel when they saw each other.

After the arrangement, Liu Yimin and Cai Zhong finally sat down.

Liu Yimin said: "Political commissar, the plan can't catch up with the changes, I was afraid that there would be no motor boats here, so let you lead the follow-up troops to rest here for a day before setting off, this time it won't work, if there is a boat, we have to go." But you're going to have to work hard. ”

Cai Zhong said: "This is the will of God, let your kid want to get rid of our plan to enter Chengdu alone, you don't know how happy the troops were just now." I'm going to Chengdu, who doesn't want to participate in such a big event? To tell the truth, I have been in the Red Army for so many years, and I have never thought about the matter of fighting Chengdu. You say tired? Do you know how long I haven't slept since I joined the revolution? ”

Liu Yimin asked, "How long?" ”

Cai Zhong replied for five days and five nights.

Liu Yimin stuck out his tongue. Five days and five nights, what a will! If the corrupt officials of later generations had this will, it is estimated that the procuratorate would really have no way to deal with them.

Seeing Liu Yimin's surprised face, Cai Zhong said: "Our troops are now strong, well-equipped, and tactically flexible. But if we compare the tenacity of suffering, then we are far worse than the first and third legions. The old troops of the 1st and 3rd Army Corps ran more than 200 miles in one day and one night, and did not sleep for two days and two nights in a row. ”

Liu Yimin nodded.

Cai Zhong also said: "After the occupation of Chengdu, if we have time to recuperate, we must reorganize and train the troops and turn them into steel units like our cadre regiment and the first corps." If we are afraid, we are afraid that the enemy will not give us time. ”

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "The enemy is not terrible, if you really want to fight them, with the current strength of our Red Army, a force of the size of Xue Yue's column will not be able to go back when he comes." ”

Cai Zhong said: "Are you overestimating our combat effectiveness? ”

Liu Yimin shook his head: "The troops are in command of whom, and if the commander is wise, he will be able to defeat the strong with the weak and the big with the small." As far as military strategy is concerned, compare our [***] with Chiang Kai-shek, that is, one is at the level of commander-in-chief, the other is at the level of regiment commander, and Chiang Kai-shek can only be the captain of our transport brigade. ”

Cai Zhong said: "You respect [***] so much? ”

Liu Yimin said: "Of course, the ancient genius! ”

Cai Zhong smiled: "I think you are also the ancient genius of our Red Army." ”

Liu Yimin shook his hand again and again: "Don't dare to talk nonsense." The Red Army generals are like clouds, I am just a new recruit, although I was lucky to win a few battles, but which of the Red Army generals has not won a battle! ”

Cai Zhong laughed: "Look at what scares you." In this way, I invite you to drink, I heard that Wuliangye here is very famous, and it would be a loss for us not to drink some of it. ”

Liu Yimin said: "Okay, drink some wine and get on the boat, and you will arrive in Leshan in a dizzy state." ”

The two of them were about to call Li Chengyi to buy wine, when they saw Tang Xingying coming in with a wine jar, Liu Yimin saw that it was really Wuliangye, and he didn't ask where it came from, opened the wine bottle and said, "Good wine!" And he took the bowl and poured it down.

Cai Zhong took a sip, smashed his mouth, tasted it again, and said, "It's really good wine!" Come, division commander, let's meet one of the two, and I wish our army a victorious start and a successful completion of the task. ”

The two of them touched each other. Tang Xingying on the side said, I'll go to the street to see if I can get some snacks. Cai Zhong said no need, just drink wine, what kind of food do you want!

Liu Yimin glanced at Tang Xingying: "The political commissar said no, don't want it, hurry up, it's about to leave." ”

Tang Xingying turned around and went out.

Cai Zhong looked at Tang Xingying who walked out, then looked at Liu Yimin, and asked suspiciously, "Is it really good?" ”

Liu Yimin picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Cai Zhong, and said while drinking: "What nonsense? When is it time to be in that mood? ”

Cai Zhong drank the wine, put down the wine bowl and said: "Amorous may not be heroic, the sword is given to knights, and the red powder is matched with heroes, which has been natural since ancient times." What's there? Do you want me to report to the Central Committee? ”

Liu Yimin smiled and said, "You old Cai, just your sharp eyes!" Drink! ”

Cai Zhong said while drinking: "You are wrong, everyone can see that the girl has taken a fancy to you, and no one is looking at you with their eyes." Didn't you take her with you last time you went to a meeting in Zunyi? ”

Liu Yimin said: "That's Wu Zheng sent her to carry out the mission, don't pull it together." ”

Cai Zhong said with a smile: "Why didn't Wu Zheng send someone else?" Several of his cadres there are very good. Don't talk about this, let me tell you, after you took her to meet Vice Chairman Zhou and Sister Deng, Sister Deng specifically asked me to understand her situation, why did you say that Sister Deng understood her feelings? ”

The two of them wanted to continue, Huang Su led Zhao Xiaoman in, and when he saw that the division commander and political commissar were drinking, Huang Su was not polite, took a big sip of the wine bowl, and then sat down and said: "The task is completed, the comrades of the underground party have been armed, and they are assisting the new regiment in educating prisoners and guarding the city gate." It was this girl who must join the Red Army, and the Yibin Special Branch also gave her a certificate. After speaking, he handed the certificate to Liu Yimin.

Liu Yimin looked at the certificate and said to Zhao Xiaoman: "Of course we welcome to join the Red Army, but we have an urgent combat mission, and we can't bring female soldiers, so when the main force comes up, let's go to the main force." ”

Zhao Xiaoman snorted and laughed: "You are really talking nonsense and not making drafts, you said that you can't bring female soldiers, isn't there a female soldier next to you?" ”

Liu Yimin said patiently: "She is different from you, she is an old Red Army who has been tested by war." You can't even shoot a gun, so you're not fit in a combat unit. Tomorrow when the main forces come up, you go to the main forces, and there is a job there that suits you. ”

Zhao Xiaoman said stubbornly: "I not only know how to shoot, but also get rid of traitors." I will follow you and be a Red Army with you. Don't think about me, I'll go to the dock and wait now. I'll get on board first in a moment. If anyone tries to get me out of the boat, I'll jump into the river. ”

Liu Yimin said with a smile: "Why is this Sichuan girl so surnamed Lie, and she is false!" Political Commissar Huang, you will deal with the business you take. You can do it! ”

Huang Su was dumbfounded: "Teacher, why are you so unreasonable?" When this girl saw us in Daguanlou, she was looking for you, how did it become a deal I took over? ”

Liu Yimin felt that his head was big, and after thinking about it, this girl played the piano well, maybe she could sing, and it would be good to set up a art troupe in the future, so he said: "Political commissar, let her go to the political department first, and set up a propaganda team or something in the future, what do you think." ”

Cai Zhong said: "In this way, we cannot crack down on the revolutionary enthusiasm of young people. ”

Liu Yimin called Li Chengyi to lead Zhao Xiaoman to report to Li Qing.

Zhao Xiaoman left happily, Huang Su took a sip of wine, and said in a muffled voice: "Commander, I'll give you a wake-up call first." Troubles are self-inflicted, and some things must be resolute. You are the most dazzling young general of our Red Army at present, and when the conditions are good in the future, there will be more and more troubles, but you can't get into the pile of troubles. ”

Cai Zhong asked puzzledly: "Political Commissar Huang, you are in trouble and have made me dizzy, what are you talking about?" ”

Liu Yimin said: "Political Commissar Huang is too sensitive. Come and drink. ”

By the time Tang Xingying bought the wine and food back, the three of them had already drunk a bottle of wine.

Liu Yimin said: "I bought it back, I took it, and then drank it when I completed the task." ”

Seeing that the time for departure was approaching, a few people packed up and came to the dock with the guard battalion.

He Mingliang had already led the three battalions of the engineer regiment to board the ship first, taking the company as a unit, controlling all the ships, and guiding the troops to board the ship as a regiment unit.

Beginning with a flotilla towed by two gunboats piloted the entire flotilla, followed by a convoy of motor boats towed one after another, and finally a small flotilla towed by two patrol boats.

Watching the special operations detachment get on the first gunboat towing flotilla and set sail forward.

Liu Yimin asked Huang Su to lead the 2nd Regiment to action, Li Qing to lead the 3rd Regiment to operate, Liu Jianli to lead the artillery regiment and heavy machine gun regiment to operate, Feng Dafei to follow the 4th Regiment, Yuan Guoping to follow the 5th Regiment, Fu Zhuting to follow the 7th Regiment, and the political commissar to lead the division and direct troops to follow the 6th Regiment to the rear. He took Li Chengyi's guard company and Tang Xingying and walked towards a fleet.

On the boat, Liu Yimin turned to look at the ancient city of Yibin in the night, the ancient city seemed to be covered with a veil of mystery under the moonlight, and it seemed that there was a pair of flickering eyes staring at the Red Army fleet under the veil. Liu Yimin waved his hand and ordered to set sail immediately, aiming at Leshan.

The wind was blowing, and it was cold on the river, Tang Xingying took out the leather robe she bought in Zhenyuan and draped it on Liu Yimin. Liu Yimin smiled, took off the leather robe, put it on Tang Xingying, and said, "You go to rest, the road to Leshan is far away!" ”

The troops on the riverside boarded one by one, and one flotilla after another set off. By the time Cai Zhong set off, it was almost 12 o'clock.

Listening to the sound of the flowing water of the Minjiang River and the sound of waves hitting the river bank in waves, Cai Zhong felt that the world was becoming more and more magical. When the Long March set out, I didn't know where I was going, I didn't know how far I was going, I only knew that there were enemies behind and around me, repelling wave after wave, staring at my team like a hungry wolf, and I didn't dare to close my eyes when I slept at night. When I arrived at the Xinwei battlefield, I learned that the lone army had entered the enemy's encirclement, the planes were dropping bombs in the sky, and the artillery of the Gui army was throwing shells at the bottom of the mountain, thinking that it was impossible to rush out. Who knew that God would get a Liu Yimin, and he would blow up the artillery position of the Gui army by himself. From then on, Gulingtou, Xiangjiang, Xiaoshui, Xikou, Qingxi Town, Yangping Town, and now the surprise attack on Gulin, Xuyong, and Yibin will soon occupy Leshan and fight Chengdu, as if victory is lining up to the Red Army one after another. Even He Jian and Bai Chongxi, who were so arrogant, had to bow their heads obediently. The next time he meets Xue Yue, as long as he writes a letter to tell him that Qingxi Town and Yangping Town were beaten by Lao Tzu, it is estimated that he will hide to the side in a gloomy manner.

The more he thought about it, the more comfortable he felt, and Cai Zhong couldn't help but hum the newly learned "Ten Sending the Red Army".
