Chapter 19: Coming Home

After several hardships, the Red Guards in Shanghuling were expanded to more than 100 people, and they fought several skirmishes and captured dozens of rifles, giving this Red Guards a certain combat effectiveness. Time entered the middle of April and finally took a turn for the better, and on this day they encountered a battle in such and such a place. A Red Guard was blocked in a col by part of the security regiment. "Report, it's safe to say it's our people in the col!" A Red Guard reported to him, and Tan Song said decisively: "They must be rescued, how many people are in the security team?" "About a company of troops!" "Hao Lei, what do you think?" At the critical moment, Hao Lei's ability was reflected.

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Hao Lei said: "In the past, when we fought, the combat effectiveness of the security regiment exceeded that of the homecoming regiment. Captain Lin, I recommend the rifle to be used intensively. "Good! I lead the broadsword team, and you lead the rifle team to split up. "Linde was very cheerful. Soon the battle began, and Hao Lei and his son continued to exert their strength, and they did not miss a shot. In particular, dozens of rifles of the Red Guards opened fire at the same time, creating a shocking effect. The 100-strong security team was attacked from behind, and it was immediately chaotic. Soon after, its captain was killed in the indiscriminate shooting, and the security team was leaderless, leaving dozens of corpses and fleeing in confusion.

The battle ended in less than an hour, and the Red Guards who were surrounded in the mountain col came out one after another, and one of the black-faced men held Tan Song's hand and said: "Thank you for your timely rescue, I asked Xiong to come from so-and-so and go to Ciping, Jinggangshan!" Tan Song's eyes lit up and said, "You also go to Jinggang Mountain?" Xiong said: "Commissar Mao led the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops and the Nanchang Uprising troops led by Zhu De to meet at Ciping, Jinggangshan, and form the Red Fourth Army. We were ordered by the Gannan Special Commission to go to Ciping to concentrate. "I've found you!" Tan Song shook the other party's hand in surprise and emotion.

The sun is shining and full of life, and the ancient market town of Ciping is full of songs and laughter. In front of an elegant courtyard, an eye-catching signboard hangs on one side, and the big black characters of the Fourth Army of Workers and Peasants are very eye-catching. A sentry standing guard was dressed in a gray military uniform with leggings, a bright red collar badge, and a bright red hat badge inlaid in the center of the octagonal hat. Several soldiers in the courtyard were busy, everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and the red collar badge and red hat badge supported their cuteness.

Inside, a middle-aged man with a thick accent was speaking. "Brother Yujie, the two troops have successfully joined forces, and it is appropriate to form the Red Fourth Army, and at present, people from all walks of life are coming, and the situation is very good." The middle-aged man has a long figure, thick and unkempt hair, and a pair of eyes that are bright and shining, flashing with wisdom and perseverance. In particular, the black mole under the lip is very eye-catching and chic, this person is called Chairman Mao, and the word Runzhi. Political commissar of the Red Fourth Army. A firm believer who is unrelenting, and a pioneer who takes the world as his own responsibility.

According to the information transferred by the Gannan Special Committee, Zhu Peide and Cheng Qian joined forces to suppress it, and about 7 divisions were dispatched to encircle and suppress Jinggangshan. At present, the total strength of the Red Fourth Army plus the local armed forces is about 10,000, and the troops have just been reorganized. The middle-aged man who spoke was of medium stature and about 40 years old, with a thick face, deep eyes, and a strong military atmosphere. This person's name is Zhu De, the commander of the Red Fourth Army. The origin of the Red Fourth Army originated from the Northern Expedition period, that is, the title of the 4th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the 4th Army was known as the Iron Army, and the main force of the Ye Ting Independent Regiment under the jurisdiction of the army became the core of the Red Fourth Army, so the army was named the Red Fourth Army, which means the spiritual successor of the Iron Army.

The reorganized Red Fourth Army has about 6,000 troops, with Zhu De as the commander, Chairman Mao as the political commissar (party representative), Wang Erzhuo, chief of staff, and Chen Yi, director of the Political Department. The Red Fourth Army had 3 divisions. Zhu De (concurrently), commander of the 10th Division, and Wan Xixian, political commissar. The 10th Division has two regiments, the commander of the 28th Regiment, Wang Erzhuo, and the political commissar He Changgong. Hu Shaohai, head of the 29th regiment, and Gong Chu, political commissar. Zhang Ziqing, commander of the 11th Division, and He Tingying, political commissar. The 11th Division has two regiments, the commander of the 31st Regiment, Zhu Yunqing, and the political commissar He Tingying. The head of the 32nd regiment, Yuan Wencai, and the political commissar Chen Dongri. The commander of the 12th Division, Chen Yijian, and the political commissar Deng Zonghai. The 12th Division has three regiments, the commander of the 34th Regiment, Deng Zonghai, and the political commissar Liu Tai. Huang Kecheng, head of the 35th Regiment, and Li Yiding, political commissar. Li Qizhong, head of the 36th Regiment, and Huang Yizao, political commissar.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and we have no other way but to meet the enemy. At present, the morale of the Red Army officers is high, and the terrain of Jinggangshan is very favorable to us. In line with the principle of first striking at the weak enemy, the target was first aimed at the Jiangxi army. Cheng Qian's 8th Army is a descendant of the Kuomintang, with strong weaponry and combat effectiveness. Zhu Peide's Jiangxi army was a miscellaneous unit, with poor weapons and equipment and weak combat effectiveness, so the Jiangxi army was the target. If we can win one or two victories, we will not only be able to crush the enemy's counterparts, but also expand our base areas and boost morale at the same time. ”

"Runzhi, I agree with your suggestion, let's take the two sheep in Jiangxi and try to hurt him." "Report!" Chen Yi and Tan Song, directors of the Political Department, walked in. "Commander Zhu, Commissar Mao, and the Gannan Special Committee recommended an underground party comrade, and he wanted to report an emergency. In addition, the Gannan Special Committee forwarded a letter to solicit the opinions of the two of them. After the two sides shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Runzhi took the letter but did not open it, obviously wanting to listen to Tan Song's report. Tan Song talked eloquently: "I am the secretary of the underground party working committee of Fengyun Town, because of the ・・・・・・. ”

"Ouyang Jian!" After listening to Tan Song's report, Runzhi couldn't help but speak. "I know Ouyang Jian, he is the commander of a battalion of the 35th Regiment of the Nanchang Uprising Army, a secret party member of the first phase of Huangpu, and participated in the Northern Expedition. When the troops retreated from Nanchang City, their regiment served as a cover, but they did not expect to be dormant in Yunshui County, although the number was not large, but it was somewhat similar to me. Zhu De praised. He didn't know about the security team being incorporated after Tan Song left. "Under the White Terror, our comrades are still firm in their faith, and our future is promising." After Runzhi finished speaking, he opened the letter to check it.

"Comrade Tan Song, it seems that Comrade Ouyang Jian is a general, you can tell me about his situation carefully!" Zhu De's interest is undiminished. "Commander Zhu, look at this letter!" Runzhi's expression was serious, interrupting Tan Song's narration. Zhu De quickly read the letter and said: "The Gannan Special Committee let Ouyang Jian riot in Yunshui County, I don't think it's appropriate. Yunshui County is closed to the masses and has a weak foundation, and the surrounding enemies are strong. Moreover, there are only a few dozen of them, and they simply cannot gain a foothold. Runzhi took a few steps and lit a cigarette and said: "You can't act hastily, now they have a foothold in Yunshui County, let them grow slowly, Comrade Tan Song, what position do you hold?" ”

"I am a member of the organization committee of the secret detachment, and this time the Gannan Special Committee appointed me as the secretary of the Yunshui County Working Committee to carry out the work of the peasant movement." Runzhidao: "You go down and rest first, and we will study it." After Tan Song left, Runzhi said happily: "This Ouyang Jian is not only a fierce general but also politically minded, he has shown his wisdom and wisdom by punching and kicking in Yunshui County, we must protect him well." In order to strengthen the party's leadership, a competent comrade should be appointed as a political commissar. Zhu De pondered for a while and said, "I think Mao Zetan is suitable." ”

"Then officially appoint Yunshui County as the number of the secret detachment of the Red Fourth Army and accept the direct command of the military department!" "Yes, Ouyang Jian was appointed as the captain of the secret detachment, and Comrade Mao Zetan was appointed as the political commissar. Comrade Tan Song's post as secretary of the Working Committee is not suitable for him to serve as a member of the organization committee, and I think that another comrade should be sent to him, and he must be a military cadre. "I think let Xiao Ke go, he is from Huangpu Phase 4 and Ouyang Jian are both from professional classes, and they can work well together." "Okay, it's decided, this is a good sign, come and let's take advantage of this to study the next combat plan."

History took a major turn at this moment, and due to Ouyang Jian's official debut, a more magnificent scene began to appear. At this moment, Runzhi and Zhu De could not have expected what kind of turbulent waves would be set off in the small Yunshui County in the future.

On a certain training ground, Wang Erzhuo, the commander of the 28th Regiment of the Red First Division of the Red Fourth Army, looked at the gun target in front of him and almost couldn't believe his eyes and said: "Haha! Zhennai Divine Spear, you two will stay at the regimental headquarters, and now I officially appoint you as the commander of the regimental headquarters guard company. Hao Lei opened his mouth to distinguish, "It's so decided, I won't let you go!" After Hao Lei followed the Red Guards to the Jinggangshan base area, he was soon reorganized into the deputy company commander of a company of the 3rd Battalion of the 28th Regiment of the 1st Red Division, with Lin De as the company commander. Linde likes to show off and bring Hao Lei and his son to the surface. Who doesn't like talents, the head of the regiment, Wang Erzhuo, was overjoyed after personally inspecting the spears of the father and son, and naturally he would not let it go.

"Dad, we can't go back, how can we explain to Captain Ouyang, let's just run back secretly." Hao Yi clamored. "The military order is like a mountain, I'm afraid that Brother Ouyang has no choice, so I have to be sorry for my brother." Frankly speaking, when he was promoted to company commander, Hao Lei was secretly happy in his heart, but he felt a little sorry in his heart, and he felt sorry for Brother Ouyang.

At the beginning of May, Tan Song, Mao Zetan, Xiao Ke and other people went on the road, dressed as merchants. Since Tan Song has a legal identity, he can play a role as a cover. On this day, at the intersection of Ciping Town to the north, Hao Lei and his son rushed to see them off. "Boss Tan, go back and bring a good message to Captain Ouyang, our father and son are very good here. By the way, don't forget to tell him that I am a company commander! "Hao Lei is a little reluctant." Boss Tan, don't forget to tell the captain that I am the squad leader! Hao Yi shouted excitedly. You are here to kill more enemies for me, and I will see you on the day of victory. ”

The simple words and sincere feelings made Mao Zetan and Xiao Ke look hot. After walking a long way, Tan Song turned around, and Hao Lei's father and son were still waving their arms. Mao Zetan and Xiao Ke were silent. Mao Zetan is 23 years old this year and is Runzhi's younger brother. He is of medium height, round face, and handsome. Shook is 21 years old, with a slightly taller figure and a slightly longer face. Mao Zetan has an outward personality and a humorous Hunan dialect. On the contrary, Shock's personality is introverted, calm and not exposed. Maybe the atmosphere was a little sad, and Mao Zetan, who likes to talk and laugh, remained silent. On the contrary, the introverted Shook opened the conversation.

"Brother Mao, I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to have two hits, I have heard of this senior of the Whampoa Military Academy, and I heard that his military quality is excellent, and the Soviet instructors appreciated him very much at that time. I learned that he was a secret party member during the Nanchang Uprising. Comrade Tan Song introduced that Ouyang Jian is very good at leading soldiers and has a superior IQ. Such a talent should be shown in a military school, which is a bit incredible. "Maybe I was young and hidden!" "Perhaps, what kind of place is he from?" "I heard that it came from the northeast, but I don't know the specific situation."

"Comrade Tan Song has said a lot about Ouyang Jian in the past few days, and I want to see him more at this moment, I have a hunch that I will go to Yunshui County this time, and we will have great ambitions." Mao Zetan's eyes showed expectation.
