De'an County is located in the south of Jiujiang and has been the throat of Jiujiang to Nanchang since ancient times. De'an County is densely populated and prosperous in commerce and trade, and at present, merchants from the south to the north are constantly coming and going, and they are becoming more frequent. On this day, a group of people appeared near the town of Puting in the south of De'an County, and the number of this group was about 70 people. The men and horses were very secretive, lying in ambush in a forest, quietly watching the dirt road ahead. "Battalion commander, there have been several caravans in the past, why hasn't the target appeared, and I'm dying." One of the subordinates seemed a little irritable.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, why haven't I grown after so long in intensive training, be patient." The man known as the battalion commander reprimanded in a low voice, seemingly unhurried. The people and horses who appeared in this forest were the 2nd Battalion of the Yunshui County Security Regiment, and after receiving Ouyang Jian's order, the battalion commander Xiao Feng led more than 70 people in the battalion to set off in disguise in the name of going out for training. After a day's and a night's long journey, they arrived near the town of Puting in southern De'an County, and their goal was to loot the enemy's munitions. In order to avoid revealing their true identities, all the soldiers dressed in disguise.

Hearing that the Gan army was transporting arms, Ouyang Jian couldn't help but itch his hands, and had the idea of robbing the arms. But how do you get arms without being suspicious? Ouyang Jian thought about it and came up with a plan. That is, to implement the plan to co-opt the old fox in advance, not only to rob the arms but also to blame the old fox. De'an County belongs to the territory of the old fox in Lushan, and if the arms are robbed, he will naturally not be able to get rid of it, which is a plan to kill five birds with one stone. Obtain arms, blame the old fox, force him to submit, and extend his tentacles to the De'an and Poyang Lake areas. So Ouyang Jian formulated an action plan and instructed Xiao Feng to let his subordinates carry out this mission. Xiao Feng was naturally overjoyed when he accepted the task. In fact, Ouyang Jian also had another purpose, which was to indirectly support the Red Fourth Army in combat.

There was movement in the distance, and everyone listened carefully. "It's the reconnaissance team back!" One of his subordinates said shrewdly. "Battalion commander, I found an enemy transport convoy with 20 wagons, about a company of the Gan army escort troops, and 30 policemen in front of the road. The carriage was covered with a veil, and I don't know what it was loaded on. "Whatever it is, as long as it's arms." Everyone is ready to fight, and the impact must be fierce for a while, and remember that it is not to destroy the enemy, but to knock the enemy away. After Xiao Feng finished speaking, he used a black cloth to cover his face, and the soldiers also used black cloth to cover their faces.

At present, the veteran team has been divided into two, and the recruit team has also been divided into two to form the 1st and 2nd security battalions. After several months of rigorous military training, these selected recruits, for the first time, participated in the battle, at this time they were both nervous and excited, in fact, the robbery of arms was also a training for them. About half an hour later, a convoy of the Gan army appeared on the main road with dust. It was indeed the policeman in front of him, and I saw a police leader riding a horse in front of him, and the police in the back followed in a loose formation. It was followed by a long carriage, flanked by Jiangxi troops in gray uniforms.

The escorted Gan army and police were carrying rifles on their backs, and their vigilance was very low, and they couldn't imagine that someone was eyeing them and opening their mouths. The convoy entered the ambush circle, Xiao Feng gave an order, and a dense rain of bullets spewed out tongues of fire, only to see the police leader on the horse dismount with his back facing the sky, one foot hanging on the horse's pedal. At this moment, the horse was frightened and spread its hooves and ran forward, and the body of the police chief was dragged away by the horse. The policemen in the back were so frightened that some of them lay down on the spot, and some fled in the opposite direction. The escorted Gan army had a certain combat effectiveness and began to fight back in confusion.

But after resisting for a few minutes, the police ran away, and the company commander of the Gan army felt bad, especially his subordinates who were shot one after another and let out a ghost crying wolf howl. The gang of robbers was too strong to parry, and the company commander ordered a retreat. The Gan soldiers received the order and immediately retreated to the other side. After the order to retreat was issued, the soldiers of the Gan army marched in unison and very quickly, and after a while, they disappeared. "Damn, it's just a rabble, and it's gone before Lao Tzu can attack. Listen to my orders and quickly clean up the battlefield and transfer. Xiao Feng put the shell gun into the holster and said contemptuously. The soldiers quickly rushed onto the road and began to clean up the battlefield.

The soldiers checked the ammunition, and some stripped off the clothes of the dead soldiers. "Report, after inspection, the Gan army is transporting ammunition and medical supplies!" A subordinate excitedly reported. "Haha! We were so lucky, transfer right away! "After a while, the carriage headed north, leaving dozens of corpses on the road. The convoy traveled about a few miles north before turning east onto a side road. The sidewalk is overgrown with weeds, and it is obvious that the sidewalk is so sparsely populated that few people leave. After walking east for several hours, I was confronted by two soldiers in charge of communication. "Report to the battalion commander, the person who answered is waiting by the river!" "Hurry up!" Soon the convoy reached a small river, on which several wooden boats were moored.

There were more than a dozen people dressed as fishermen to answer, and these people were appointed by Tan Song. It seems that Tan Song's work has been fruitful, and the underground organization in the Jiujiang area has been integrated. It had been planned in advance, and the looted arms would be hidden first, and then secretly transported back to Yunshui County in the future. Time was pressing, and after Xiao Feng handed over the arms to the person in charge of the response, he discussed the next contact point, and then led his troops to the north. Their goal was to continue the looting of arms as far north of Ander County. After Xiao Feng led his troops away, the people who responded quickly loaded the arms on the boat, and then left the carriage by the river, which was done intentionally.

Two days later, in the northern part of De'an County, Xiao Feng led his troops to successfully rob a transport convoy of the Jiangxi army. This harvest was quite fruitful, and there were actually 2,000 Hanyang-made rifles and a large number of bullets. In addition, there were 4 60-mm infantry guns and 200 shells. "Battalion commander, what should I do if I can't transport 4 infantry guns?" It's a pity to blow it up, Xiao Feng said decisively: "Disassemble the artillery and bury it on the spot, and transport other things away." "Battalion commander, where is our next goal?" One of his subordinates asked cheerfully. "The delicious food is delicious and can't be greedy, the regiment commander said that good things can't be more than three, we have robbed the arms and led our eyes to the old fox in Lushan, our task is complete."

"The regiment leader's plan is really high, is the next step to do it to the old fox?" Subordinates figured it out. Xiao Feng said: "I estimate that the head of the regiment will use the old fox of Lushan to stretch his tentacles to Poyang Lake, okay, don't talk nonsense, this kind of thing is not something you and I can figure out." "Report, the cannon has been buried and marked." "Immediately pull the arms and retreat, and after handing over the arms to the person who answers, we must immediately rush back to Yunshui County, this is the order of the regiment commander." The troops moved swiftly and soon disappeared into the mountains, leaving behind a messy battlefield.

Zhu Peide, chairman of Jiangxi Province, is also the commander-in-chief of the 1st Group Reserve Army of the National Revolutionary Army. There is only one word difference between Zhu Peide and Zhu De, and the two are both elites of Yunnan's army filling, known as "Erzhu", and have a close relationship. At first, Zhu Peide was not interested in Chiang Kai-shek, and after the April 12 coup, he was loyal to the Kuomintang Wuhan government. After the Wuhan government raised the banner, Zhu Peide sympathized with the Communist Party in Jiangxi and did not kill the Communist Party members, but politely sent them abroad. But as the situation changes, the elite as a party-state will inevitably stand on the opposite side.

Historians have commented that if it can be assumed, the history of Jinggangshan may be a different ending. If Zhu Peide had not been in charge of Jiangxi, it would very likely that there would have been no Zhu Mao Red Army. Because Zhu Peide is not in Jiangxi, Zhu De may not go to Nanchang, and even if he goes to Nanchang, he will have less affiliation. When the Nanchang Uprising divided the troops, the commander of Sanheba could not be Zhu De, and maybe it was someone else. However, who is more determined and endured than Zhu De? If so, the remnants of the Nanchang uprising may no longer exist.

In other words, there will be no Shonan uprising and Jinggangshan division, and it is difficult to say how the Red Fourth Army will develop. Because it is very difficult for the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the Hunan and Jiangxi borders to survive in this particular historical crack. Maybe this is providence, but in fact, the relationship between Zhu De and Zhu Peide can be regarded as Zhu Peide's indulgence or intention. Zhu De once commented on this former junior brother, close friend and boss, "He is not a reactionary, he is a relatively honest person among the old soldiers, and the 3rd Army is relatively close to us!" However, the reality is ruthless, and the former "comrades-in-arms" belonging to the two camps are destined to be a life-and-death contest.

As the situation changed, Zhu Peide naturally became an intermediate force headed by Chiang Kai-shek. Although Zhu Peide was in charge of Jiangxi, he actively responded to the Northern Expedition, and in March, he led the main force of the 3rd Army and the 31st Army to cross the Yangtze River from Jiujiang and go to Jinpu Road to carry out the Second Northern Expedition. Zhu Peide ordered his subordinate Wang Jun to command three divisions under his command to carry out the suppression of the Jinggangshan base area. The successive defeats in Jinggangshan made him lose face.

However, at this critical moment, the convoy was robbed one after another, which made his situation even worse. Wang Jun is 37 years old and was a classmate of Zhu De. The subordinates saw that Wang Jun was thunderous, and he didn't dare to come out. A staff member said: "Commander-in-chief, could it be the masterpiece of one of your old classmates (referring to Zhu De), he sent someone to do it!" "Impossible, the people who robbed the arms were not what the Red Army called, and the operational characteristics of the Red Army were not like this. Moreover, the tentacles of the Red Army could not be extended to the Jiujiang area. Wang Jun denied it.

"The commander-in-chief, his subordinates think that it is very likely that the bandits did it, judging from the traces left at the scene, they even took away the clothes of the dead soldiers, and it can be concluded that the bandits did it." A staff member took the opportunity to say: "All indications indicate that it is very likely that the old fox of Lushan did it. Although he has been very disciplined in recent years, the situation is chaotic, and it is the nature of bandits to fish in troubled waters, and De'an County is within his scope of activity. Therefore, I think it is necessary to send troops to clear and exterminate the bandits in Lushan in one fell swoop. "Commander-in-chief, the war is tense at present, the Red Army has won successive battles, and we have no troops to send." One of his subordinates said depressedly.

"Commander-in-chief, my subordinates heard that the Yunshui County Security Regiment is strong, and this security regiment has been incorporated by Nanjing. Yunshui County is under your jurisdiction, why don't you order this security group to go out to suppress bandits, you can kill two birds with one stone, I think Nanjing has no reason to stop it! The staff's meaning is very clear, that is, to take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents. Wang Jun's eyes rolled a few times and said decisively: "Immediately order Guo Boyun to dispatch the security regiment to go all out to suppress the old fox in Lushan, if you disobey military orders and military law." ”
