Chapter 43: Twists and Turns

After the old calendar year, that is, four months after Ouyang Jian left Yunshui County, the Shanghai side really sent people to the secret detachment of Yunshui County to guide the work. In view of the fact that the secret detachment surfaced, it was enough to cause concern in the Central Bureau of Shanghai. The representative sent was named Zhang Hanfu, a propaganda officer of the Provisional Central Bureau, who had been to the Soviet Union. Zhang Hanfu is 25 years old, tall and slender, wearing a pair of eyes, gentle and elegant, and a white-faced scholar with a strong temperament.

Zhang Hanfu came to Yunshui County, to be honest, he was not optimistic about the secret detachment before he came, but after listening to the report, he was overjoyed, and he did not expect the development of the secret detachment to be so exciting. As a party representative who came to guide the secret detachment, his head suddenly began to heat up. Before leaving, Enlai specially instructed him that the situation of the secret detachment in Yunshui County was special, and he must be cautious in handling problems. However, after Zhang Hanfu learned about the situation of the secret detachment, he believed that the revolution was vigorous, and there was no need to be afraid of wolves and tigers. He believed that Jiang Gui was about to start the war, the revolutionary situation was very good, and the Yunshui County secret detachment was fully equipped with the conditions for an uprising.

Zhang Hanfu used the radio to quickly report to the Shanghai Central Bureau, and Enlai and the Central Bureau were also extremely excited after they concluded the true situation of the secret detachment. In fact, it was not only Zhang Hanfu who was hot-headed, but the entire Central Bureau believed that the situation was favorable and armed riots would bloom everywhere. The Central Bureau called in view of the fact that Comrade Ouyang Jian was not in Yunshui County, and asked Ouyang Jian to be notified to return quickly. Tan Song immediately sent a liaison officer to Wuhan. At this time, the guard pony had already returned and handed Li Guangda a letter, the content of which was naturally confidential.

As a result, after the traffic officer sent by Tan Song arrived in Wuhan, he did not connect at the grocery store, because Gao Guoying had moved, and the new contact point was a porcelain store, which meant that the traffic officer could not find Ouyang Jian in Wuhan at all. Before the pony returned, Ouyang Jian also specifically instructed him not to expose the contact point of the porcelain shop, so according to Ouyang Jian's explanation, the pony often changed their addresses in order to prevent the agents from following them. After the traffic officer came back from Wuhan to report, Zhang Hanfu was anxious, at this time Lao Jiang and the Gui department had already fought hard, and the opportunity should not be missed.

During this period, Zhang Hanfu visited the secret bases of Tongluozhai and Meiling, and thus believed that the conditions for the uprising were met. After learning about the actual situation, the Central Bureau also believed that the secret detachment had the conditions for an uprising, and asked Zhang Hanfu to depend on the situation. In fact, Enlai and the Shanghai Central Bureau were also secretly planning the Shanghai uprising, so they gave Zhang Hanfu a sword. In mid-April, Zhang Hanfu held a military meeting in Tongluo Village to discuss the uprising. On this day, the core figures of the secret detachment gathered in Tongluo Village, and Zhang Hanfu personally presided over the discussion of the uprising.

"Comrades, the Military Commission of the Central Bureau has officially decided that the secret detachment will be under the direct command of the Military Commission of the Central Bureau. At present, war broke out in Chiang Gui, and the revolutionary situation was very good. Therefore, on behalf of the Central Bureau, I decided that the secret detachment would launch an uprising in advance. Zhang Hanfu waved his arms, his face flushed and he was very excited. He thought that there would be an enthusiastic response from below, but it backfired and everyone was indifferent. "Comrades, I understand your feelings, the secret detachment was founded by Comrade Ouyang Jian, but the secret detachment is also an armed force under the leadership of the party. The original plan was to revolt again next year, but the situation has changed, and I am sure that Comrade Ouyang Jian will also approve of it in his presence. ”

"Representative Zhang, Comrade Ouyang Jian, has a thorough and comprehensive plan for the uprising, may I ask Representative Zhang, if the uprising is launched, who will command the operation?" Li Guangda asked. "We are all believers, it is so difficult that we will not be revolutionary without Ouyang Jian, you are right-leaning opportunism!" "Don't buckle your hat indiscriminately, Comrade Ouyang Jian is not here as the chief officer, I don't agree to launch an uprising in advance!" Li Guangda's attitude was very resolute. Su Yu said: "According to the information we have, at present, Zhu Peide's five divisions are in Jiujiang, and if an uprising is launched, the enemy will soon pounce, and we will not be able to gain a foothold in Yunshui County at all." Therefore I do not agree with an early uprising! ”

"I think you are frightened by arrogance, Jinggangshan can persist in the struggle under such a difficult situation, is it so difficult that you can't do it?" Luo Ronghuan said: "It's easy to revolt, but how to command the battle and how to face the enemy's encirclement and suppression, have you considered these questions?" Therefore, I also do not agree with an early uprising! "At present, there is a big shortage of ammunition in the troops, although the secret detachment has 6 battalions, but the strength is only more than 1,000 people, although it can mobilize several thousand people, but the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed at all, so I do not agree to the early uprising."

"How can this be reasonable, could it be that the secret detachment is a private army built by Ouyang Jian, could it be that he wants to be a warlord?" Zhang Hanfu's face turned pale with anger, and the key was that none of the people present stood up to support him. Li Guangda stood up angrily and said, "Stop, what did you do when we were bloody in Nanchang City?" Ouyang Jian was seriously wounded, led us to establish a foothold in Yunshui County, and did everything possible to find an organization. Comrade Ouyang Jian is a firm believer, and you are not allowed to slander him! "You ・・・・・, the secret detachment has become a family, and I want to report to the Central Bureau." Zhang Hanfu walked out angrily after speaking.

Everyone looked at each other, and the venue fell silent, Mao Zetan stood up and said: "Zhang Hanfu represents the Central Bureau, and the problem is not easy to handle. I'm going to talk to him. "Self-righteousness, I can't get used to buttoning my hat at every turn." Li Guangda still didn't buy it. "It's just that we don't ask questions, saying that we are a private army, and it is extremely irresponsible to speak!" Xiao Feng was unfair. "Does he understand military affairs, can he defeat the enemy with his blood?" Song Ren muttered. "Alright, don't complain! Comrade Guangda, you are also discouraged. ”

Mao Zetan walked out of the room and saw Zhang Hanfu smoking desperately, with cigarette butts on the ground. "Comrade Zhang Hanfu and Comrade Ouyang Jian are rare talents in our party, as evidenced by the fact that the secret detachment has developed to the scale it has reached today. Regarding the plan of the uprising, how to move after the uprising is all in his mind, to be precise, Ouyang Jian is not there, even after the uprising, it may fail, and no one in the secret detachment can replace him. If you see that this is good, I will immediately leave for Shanghai and personally report to Comrade Enlai that the current development momentum of the secret detachment is very good, and once the secret detachment is destroyed, we will all become sinners. ”

Zhang Hanfu hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, let's wait for the decision of the Central Bureau, my mood is not good, please tell everyone that I accept criticism!" "The matter has come to this point, it is difficult to speak alone, Zhang Hanfu has no choice but to compromise. Mao Zetan immediately left for Shanghai and reported to Enlai in detail. In particular, Ouyang Jian's overall concept has been targeted. After Enlai learned about the auspicious situation, he agreed that Ouyang Jian would come back and make a decision. Later, after Enlai did his work, the Central Bureau telegraphed the secret detachment to temporarily cancel the uprising plan.

As time slowly passed, with in-depth understanding and hearing and seeing, Zhang Hanfu became curious about Ouyang Jian, and his desire to meet this mysterious figure as soon as possible became more and more urgent. Under the influence of Zhang Hanfu, the army quickly expanded to 2,000 people, and during this time he stayed at the secret base in Meiling, cooperating with Li Guangda to strengthen the training of recruits. does not deny Zhang Hanfu's enthusiasm, in fact, he has no selfish intentions, the starting point is good, but he is just hot-headed and immature. In fact, Ouyang Jian also thought that even if the Central Bureau sent people, it would be impossible to select important people.

The reason is that the Jinggangshan base area has already formed a scale, and it is the land where the people have lost is the core of the armed seizure of power. In addition, the Central Bureau was also stepping up its efforts to secretly plan the Shanghai Uprising (the plan for the uprising later died). The Xiangxi uprising led by He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and Duan Dechang was in full swing, and the western Hunan and Hubei base areas were created. At present, the southeastern Henan base area has also been formed (the predecessor of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region), so the Central Bureau does not attach much importance to the small secret detachment, and besides, Yunshui County includes the Jiujiang area, and the Central Bureau considers it unsuitable to establish a base area. Based on the above reasons, Ouyang Jian's choice not to be in Yunshui County was based on "foresight".

In early May, Shangguan Yun returned to Yunshui County, and Zhang Hanfu hurried back from the Meiling base when he heard the news. It just so happened that Mao Zetan also came back from Shanghai. At the White Crane Tower Restaurant, Zhang Hanfu, Mao Zetan, and Tan Song listened to Shangguan Yun's report. For Shangguan Yun's description of the sound and color, everyone was shocked. Ouyang Jian's series of dazzling actions in Wuhan are simply incredible, like chapters in martial arts novels. "It turned out that he was responsible for the theft of the Japanese trading company in Wuhan, and I heard about it in Shanghai. The media pointed the finger at Gui Jun one after another, and it was boiling for a while. ”

Zhang Hanfu danced excitedly and said, "I didn't expect Ouyang Jian to have the ability to fly as a thief, it's inconceivable. In particular, obtaining enemy arms is a stroke of genius. However, Comrade Ouyang Jian is probably in danger if he is targeted by CC. "Comrade Zhang, don't worry! It's a piece of cake for the captain to deal with them! Shangguan Yun was dismissive. Now that Ouyang Jian is alert, he will deal with it properly. At present, his identity has not been revealed, and if there is danger, we will revolt in advance to bring him real danger. Tan Song interjected, obviously pointing to Zhang Hanfu.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, Zhang Hanfu is a little embarrassed. Mao Zetan changed the topic and said: "There is no problem with arms!" "Before I returned, the arms had been handed over to Battalion Commander Zhang, who was responsible for transporting the arms back to Tongluo Village, and I came back to report the news." "Comrade Ouyang Jian, everyone is looking forward to your return as soon as possible, at this moment, we seem to be looking forward to it." Mao Zetan was insincere, and a wave of emotion naturally flowed out. "Yes, Ouyang Jian is not here, we don't know how to start our work next!" Tan Song couldn't help but feel it. Zhang Hanfu heard and was touched thoughtfully.

Seeing that everyone was sighing, Shangguan Yun quietly withdrew from the room, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt a little sour for some reason. In the days since she left Ouyang Jian, Shangguan Yun suddenly matured, she knew that she would never be able to get Ouyang Jian, so she buried it in her heart. From now on, he will be my good big brother, and I will be his sister. She wanted to go to the regiment headquarters to see her father, but after thinking about it, her identity was special and inconvenient to show up, so she went straight to the secret stronghold of the special combat team, an inconspicuous courtyard house in the county.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he almost bumped into Dabao, "Sister Shangguan, you're back, you miss me to death." The captain is back, too! "This kung fu heard the movement, and a dozen young offspring came out of the room." What did the captain do? Who are these people? "The captain has gone to Jiujiang County. These people are newly recruited. This is the sister Shangguan I often call you! Dabao introduced with great interest. Young people greeted each other. "Aren't you in charge of stalking," "Brother Zhanshan is stalking, and I'm in charge of training them." "Shout, I can't see that you have become an instructor!"

"Has the captain come back?" Dabao does not give up. "This girl is tired, I'll answer you when I wake up!" After Shangguan Yun finished speaking, no one walked into his room. Looking at Shangguan Yun's demeanor, Dabao was suddenly in a daze, and the young man's curiosity began to pester Dabao to ask questions and make a mess. After Ouyang Jian left, the special combat team was temporarily under the command of Li Kenong, and Mu Shixiong went to Jiujiang to be assigned by Li Kenong to meet Ouyang Jian.
