Chapter 18 Search
Around mid-February of the old calendar year, Tan Song was escorted by Hao Lei and his son on the road, and after half a month of traveling south, he entered Yongxin County in the north of Jinggangshan. In fact, Ouyang Jian clearly knew that after the defeat of the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Chairman Mao last year, he was forced to move to Jinggangshan with the encirclement and suppression of the enemy, and Chairman Mao led his troops to enter the Jinggangshan area in October last year. Later, when he learned that the Nanchang Uprising had failed, Zhu De led the remnants to move to unknown whereabouts, so he sent He Changgong to find Zhu De's department. He Changgong finally inquired about Zhu De's whereabouts after going through hardships, and promoted the Jinggangshan Zhu Mao Meeting.
After the failure of the Nanchang Uprising, Zhu De and others led the remnants to travel in a roundabout way, and finally hid in Shaoguan, Guangdong. Zhu De used Fan Shisheng, a classmate of Yunnan Jiangwutang in his early years, to reorganize the department into the 140th Regiment of the Fan Department, and Zhu De assumed the pseudonym Wang Kai. After He Changgong found Zhu De, he reported Chairman Mao's idea of establishing a base area in Jinggangshan, and Zhu De understood the actual situation in the Jinggangshan area and thought that it was completely feasible as a foothold, and then led his troops to march to Jinggangshan, and in early April, the two rebel troops successfully joined forces in Jinggangshan.
At first, Chiang Kai-shek was unimpressed with Zhu Mao's rendezvous. He believes that the Communist Party suffered a great blow in the spring of '27, and it will not be able to make much waves, and it will not be able to turn over and grow stronger in three or five years. At present, Chiang Kai-shek has united Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Gui to deal with Zhang Zuolin, that is, the Second Northern Expedition. Chiang Kai-shek believed that Zhang Zuolin's territory was too large and was currently the biggest enemy. Chiang Kai-shek only urged the Hunan and Jiangxi national army to go all out to clean up, and did not take Zhu Mao in his eyes at all. If he knew that in the future, Zhu Mao would grow faster and bigger, and he would definitely strangle it desperately.
Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Zhu Peide saw the danger of Jinggangshan very clearly and believed that the situation was serious, so he reported it to the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government in March and petitioned for "repression." The word "will be suppressed" is his patent. In his petition report to the Military Commission, Zhu Peide said that the situation in the Jinggangshan base area was very serious, but Chiang Kai-shek did not take it to heart, and he wanted to deal with Zhang Zuolin with all his might. There was no way, so Zhu Peide had no choice but to use the existing troops in his hands and local armed forces to enter Jinggangshan.
Zhu Peide should have no problem dealing with the Red Army in Jinggangshan, but Jinggangshan is located on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, and if Jinggangshan is attacked, Chairman Mao will enter Hunan at any time. This is difficult to do, because at present Li Zongren and Tang Shengzhi are inseparably killing in Hunan, and if Zhu Peide orders his troops to enter Hunan to pursue and fight, a misunderstanding is bound to occur. In these years, the sphere of influence and territory are untouchable. For this, Jupped wrote a letter to the Military Council, which worked. Soon, the Military Commission ordered Hubei Provincial Chairman Cheng Qian to jointly suppress him.
With Shang Fang's sword, Zhu Peide and Cheng Qian joined hands to discuss the formation of a headquarters to suppress the Communist Party, and there was a decisive momentum. A total of 7 divisions were dispatched from the two provinces, and 3 divisions were dispatched from Jiangxi to be commanded by Wang Jun, including Yang Chisheng, commander of the 9th Division of the 3rd Army. Yang Ruxuan, commander of the 27th Division of the 31st Army, these two are known as two sheep, which means lambs to be slaughtered. Liu Shiyi, commander of the 7th Independent Division. Hubei dispatched 4 divisions, with Wu Shang as the commander-in-chief, and dispatched the reorganization of the 8th Army: Xiong Zhen, commander of the 1st Division, Cheng Zerun, commander of the 2nd Division, and Yan Zhongru, commander of the 3rd Division. Xu Kexiang, the commander of the 3rd Independent Division, and Yu Yeyu, the commander of the Independent Regiment. For a while, the voice of Jin Ge Huo Huo has a thunderous momentum.
When the enemy army was deploying troops, Tan Song, Hao Lei and his son arrived in Yongxin County. The enemy was very closely interrogated everywhere, and because of their legal status, they successfully entered the county seat of Yongxin. People in the county were panicked, and slogans were posted everywhere, revealing the White Terror. Tan Song looked at the newspaper in the inn and said: "Brother Hao, the newspaper said that the Communist Party is wandering in the Jinggangshan area, and the national army is deploying troops to suppress it, and it will be full of bandits in the near future." "Boss Tan, how many levels we have encountered along the way, I think we should wait and see."
"We can't wait, we must rush to Ciping as soon as possible and find the party organization!" Seeing Tan Song's resolute attitude, Hao Lei had no choice but to agree. After staying overnight in Yongxin County, the three of them set off to continue south. At the beginning of March, the weather was already very hot, and the upland rice in the fields was already half a foot high. The mountains in the distance are lush and green, indicating the exuberance of life. Three people walked on the mountain road, "Fellow, what's the place in front?" "Ahead is Shanghuling!" The mountain people who were asked for directions turned around as they walked, probably arranging in their hearts that this businessman was too bold for others to dodge.
In a dense forest in Shanghuling, a group of blue-clad people were resting. They were armed with red tassel guns, broadswords, and other weapons, dressed in civilian clothing, and numbered about 30 people. "Captain, more than a dozen people have run away!" A subordinate reported. The man known as the captain has a black and red face, a very strong body, and especially a pair of calloused hands that are very eye-catching. "Damn, the fox and the tiger are pretending to be in the hometown, chasing after each other, and I've been running away every day for the past few days!" "Report that there are 3 people on the mountain road!" A sentry standing guard made an urgent report, and everyone hurriedly dispersed to hide.
"Captain, look like a businessman?" "What are the merchants doing here in this uninhabited place, I look like a spy!" "Don't squeak, listen to my orders to catch these three people in a moment!" Tan Song and the other three were walking, when suddenly a group of people armed with big knives and spears jumped out and surrounded them. Tan Song motioned to Hao Lei and his son not to act rashly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a grain merchant, please come here to buy grain, please make it convenient for all heroes!" "You treat us like bandits, we are peasant rioters!" The black-faced man scolded.
Tan Song carefully examined everyone and pondered whether to tell his identity. "Search them!" "Captain, these two have weapons!" The guns of Hao Lei and his son were confiscated. "Haha! The barge gun is a good thing! I think you're spies with weapons, and they're tied up and taken to the woods!" "Heroes, the two of you are my bodyguards, we are not spies!" Tan Song's argument was fruitless, and then he was tied up and taken to the woods. The riot captain was overjoyed, fiddling with the shell gun in his hand, and kept one for his deputy. At this moment, a subordinate standing guard ran in a panic and rushed to report: "The captain is not good." The homecoming group is coming! ”
"Captain, it must be these spies who attracted the homecoming group and simply killed these three people!" The red-faced man was just about to give the order to make a move, when suddenly a person shouted: "Captain, look at it, it's not Li Lao's crooked!" "That's right, it's him who reported our hiding place!" "Damn, this traitor, Lao Tzu must have killed him." There were about fifty or sixty people in the group of returning to their hometowns, and they were screaming and searching. "Brothers, I'll rush out of the dead horizontally!" "Wait!" Tan Song shouted, and the red-faced man was stunned. At the critical moment, Tan Song could no longer hide his identity.
"I am the secretary of the Fengyun Town Working Committee, my name is Tan Song, and I have lost contact with the party organization due to the enemy's sabotage, so I came here to look for the party organization." The red-faced man will be skeptical. "You rushed out with them like this, and the big sword and long hair were armed to the teeth in the face of the enemy, and it was undoubtedly to send them to death!" "Untie them!" The red-faced man ordered. "The situation is critical now, listen to my command!" At this time, Hao Lei quickly retrieved the shell gun from the red-faced man. "I said that you didn't even open the insurance, will you?" Everyone looked at the red-faced man, at a loss.
Hao Yi stepped forward and couldn't help but say that he had recaptured the shell gun from another person. "Now is not the time to explain, what is your name? My name is Linde. "Comrade Linde, you must listen to me when the situation is critical." Lindh nodded. "Brother Hao, what is the best way for you to get closer and closer to the enemy?" "The two of us go forward to attract the enemy, and after the gun goes out, you break out from the left, remember to move quickly." After Hao Lei finished speaking, his body shook and quickly touched forward, and Hao Yi followed.
The homecoming group wore black clothes and black pants, swaggering and showing off their might. They knew that this group of mud-legged men only had big knives in their hands, and the red tassel spears were not to be feared. "You are surrounded, surrender!" "You can't run!" A guy with a pistol in his hand shouted. Hao Lei raised his hand to grab two times, and the guy wielding the pistol and the traitor next to him fell to the ground in response. Hao Yi immediately shot, and the three guys in front of him were knocked to the ground with 3 shots in a row. The returning group was stunned and hurriedly fell to the ground. This kung fu riot squad came out of the woods.
The leader of the group was killed and there was no leader, and suddenly the team of people and horses came out of the woods, and the cowardly ones ran away, and suddenly the group collapsed and ran for their lives. Hao Lei's father did not miss the bullet, knocked down a few more people and launched a pursuit. Seeing that the riot squad was missing on the left ridge, the two hurriedly collected their discarded weapons and retreated. A few hours later they entered a col and everyone stopped to rest. "Comrade Tan Song, I'm really sorry, if it weren't for the misunderstanding, I'm afraid we would ・・・・・・ today."
"Excuse the nonsense, you immediately get in touch with the higher-level party organization, and I have an important situation to report to the higher-ups." Tan Song went straight to the point and unceremoniously interrupted Lin Zu's apologies. "Comrade Tan Song, to tell you the truth, I have also lost contact with my superiors, but I have a spare contact point in such and such a town, but I don't know if this spare contact point has been destroyed by the enemy." Linde continued: "Shanyazi! "What did the captain command:" A young man in his early 20s appeared in front of him in high spirits. Go to the town immediately to find Mr. Chen, and be sure to bring Mr. Chen here. ”
After Shanyazi disappeared, Tan Song asked, "What is this Mr. Chen doing?" "It's a private school teacher!" This kung fu Hao Lei father and son were found under the guidance of a team member. The father and son each carried a few rifles on their backs and threw them on the ground. "Boss Tan, killed 13 people and seized 11 rifles and a barge gun." "Comrade Tan Song, your subordinates are extraordinary, too powerful. If we hadn't met you today, we would have suffered a lot. "Lind didn't seem to like to be in a big way, so she carried a shell gun on herself.
Many people stared at the rifles, with the intention of coming up and looting. Linde issued rifles by name, and Tan Song, Hao Lei, father and son were left aside, which seemed to have nothing to do with them. "I'm sorry, we don't know how to use guns, and we have to trouble you!" Tan Song smiled and motioned for Hao Lei's father and son to help. After a night without words, Tan Song didn't sleep well due to excitement. At dawn, Yazi returned with bad news. "Comrade Tan Song, I am very surprised that Mr. Chen is not in such and such a town, and we have completely lost contact with our superiors." Linde's face was depressed. "Do you know anything about the situation in Jinggangshan?"
"I heard that Commissar Mao led a force to operate in that area, but it is not clear where it is!" "Then let's go to Jinggang Mountain!" "Comrade Tan Song, at present, the security regiment and the return to the hometown regiment are chasing and killing us everywhere, and I heard that the large army of the national army is also coming, and the goal of so many of us is too big to pass. Comrade Tan Song, I can see that you are very capable, so I think you will lead us for the time being, and slowly move to the Jinggangshan area in the future. "The matter has come to this, and Tan Song has no choice. Lin Dede took the opportunity to announce: "Comrades, now I announce that the Shanghuling Riot Brigade will be changed to the Red Guards, with me as the captain, Comrade Tan Song as the party representative, and Hao Lei as the deputy captain. ”
Without waiting for Tan Song's consent, Lin De made the decision to announce it, and everyone naturally happily agreed, the key is that Hao Lei's father and son are extraordinary, which gives everyone confidence. Hao Lei's eyes were on Tan Song, and Tan Song said helplessly: "The matter has come to this point, we have to get in touch with the superior organization." ”
