Chapter XV: Guards Independent Battalion
Looking at the pistol on his head, the commander of the Hunan Army Du Company, who was in charge of the prison guards, undoubtedly felt a little inexplicable. How can a good man put a gun on his head? Besides, the bolt of this gun has been wrenched, and with just a slight hook of his fingers, his head will definitely be broken.
Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Company Commander Du looked a little flattering and said: "Brother Sun, my brother is too old to be frightened, can you put down the gun if you have anything to say." If you don't wait for the gun to go off, my brother's little life will be over. ”
Faced with the fawning of this Du Lian Commander, He Zhengdao chuckled and said, "It seems that you haven't woken up yet?" Then I tell you the truth, from now on you do what I tell you, and the trigger will never be pulled. If you don't do what I tell you to do, then I promise that today next year will be your sacrifice day.
Oh! I forgot to remind you that my surname is not Sun, but He Zhengdao, the commander of the independent battalion of the Red Army Guards. Speaking of which, it seems that my level is one level higher than yours! Now Company Commander Du, do you still think I'm joking with you? ”
The more you are afraid of what's coming!
He Zhengdao took money to his head, and the rest of the officers who came in were also controlled by He Zhengdao's people. Company Commander Du thought that these people in front of him were definitely not Hunan troops. If it weren't for Xiang Jun, it stands to reason that Gui Jun would be ****, and there would be no need to show him such a big joke. After all, this prisoner of the Red Army who robbed the prison is not a trivial matter!
What's more, in the prison of Daoxian County, as many as 600 prisoners of the Red Army were held. With such a large number of Red Army prisoners, once they were lost or robbed, it was no wonder that the commander-in-chief of their Hunan army, He, was not furious!
When He Zhengdao said this, the Red Army prisoners who were close to him suddenly said in surprise: "Battalion Commander He, you are finally here!" Is it our big army that is attacking Daoxian now? Is it that the big army has come back, and we can go back to the Soviet zone again? ”
After coming out of the Soviet zone, many Red Army soldiers did not expect that they would go tens of thousands of miles at a time. I never thought that when they came out, they would lose two-thirds of their backbone strength after arriving in northern Shaanxi. It can be said that the Red Army's long march was dyed red by countless martyrs.
Facing this middle-aged Red Army who seemed to have held a certain position in the Red Army, He Zhengdao was not good at telling them the truth, and said directly: "It is the guard battalion I lead that is attacking Daoxian now, because the time is urgent, we will talk about it later." Now ask a few comrades to help open all the cell doors.
At present, there is a company of Hunan troops stationed outside the prison, and I must deal with them all in order to get you out safely. Therefore, when I go out to solve these guards, it is best for everyone to adopt the election method of soldiers electing squad leaders and squad leaders electing platoon leaders according to their previous units, and temporarily establish a temporary officer system.
If nothing else, we need to leave before dawn. Otherwise, if we are bitten by the main force of the Hunan army, we will be in trouble. ”
Without saying much to the middle-aged Red Army who looked a little stunned, He Zhengdao quickly asked the soldiers of the guard platoon to seize these weapons from the officers. Give it to the middle-aged man and let him wait for the transfer to the Red Army officers among these prisoners. As for He Zhengdao, he took several soldiers from the guard platoon and walked out of the prison with depressed faces.
When the Hunan soldiers standing outside saw that all the officers of their company were pointed at by the officers who were afraid of death who had just been a big brother, they undoubtedly looked a little stunned. But he was still very conscientious, and aimed the gun in his hand at He Zhengdao and others.
It's just that because of He Zhengdao and others, they all pushed these officers in front of them. They didn't dare to shoot at all, unless these Hunan soldiers were not afraid of being charged with shooting the commander!
Hitting the back of Company Commander Du's head with a pistol, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "Company Commander Du, I don't think you want to see a river of blood, right?" I just need to take the people inside, I have no interest in your life.
If you have to fight to break the net, I can only tell you that you must be the first to die, I guarantee it will be a tragic death from a bullet in the back of the head through the forehead. What do you think? Do you want these soldiers under you to surrender their weapons and surrender?
You should know that our Red Army treats prisoners preferentially. If you delay a little longer, and wait for my large army to arrive, I am afraid that if you want to surrender again and have a chance to live, I am afraid that it will be impossible. ”
Just when the company commander Du was still thinking about it, the screams of the soldiers were already heard outside: "Oh no, no, the Red Army is here with cannon barrels." They have cannons! There's a cannon! ”
As soon as these words came out, it undoubtedly completely made Company Commander Du lose his mind, and said with a wry smile: "Battalion Commander He, you and I have known each other once, can you guarantee that my brothers can spare their lives if they put down their weapons?" ”
In this regard, He Zhengdao smiled and said: "I believe that Company Commander Du should understand our army's prisoner policy better than me, right?" ”
Just when Company Commander Du wanted to ask for more conditions for prisoners, there was a 'tom' sound outside the prison, and soon a mortar shell. They fell into the open space not far from them, and the two Hunan troops next to them, who couldn't dodge, were directly hit by the fragments of the shells. Fall to the ground and don't know whether to live or die!
Knowing that in this situation, there was no time for him to put forward more conditions, Company Commander Du quickly said: "Brothers, lay down your arms and surrender, we have been defeated." Stop making unnecessary sacrifices! I also ask Battalion Commander He to order your subordinates not to fire any more artillery. Otherwise, my brothers would have died in vain! ”
Nodding at the fighters of a guard platoon beside him, he quickly rushed out. As the soldiers of the guard platoon walked out, a group of Red Army soldiers soon rushed into the prison and received the guns and ammunition of these Hunan army companies.
Handed over the matter of cleaning the battlefield to Ma Xiaojun, the commander of the fourth company who rushed to support, He Zhengdao returned to the prison with several soldiers of the guard platoon who had converged. The gates of the prison were all opened, and the Red Army prisoners were arranged to quickly come out of the prison, and the captured weapons of the Hunan army that had been piled up outside were carried out for a rapid armed assembly.
Looking at the Red Army soldiers standing in the dark patch of the playground, He Zhengdao quickly said: "Comrades, I am He Zhengdao, the commander of the Independent Guard Battalion of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. As for this number, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. That's because the more than 500 officers and men of the battalion were captured soldiers like you.
As for me, I am also the company commander of the political security brigade who was left behind by the large army to recuperate at the villager's house. Our independent battalion has grown from six people to its current size. Because we could not contact the headquarters, for the time being, we could only use the name of an independent battalion to organize our comrades who were scattered, wounded and lost, and everyone worked together to catch up with the large army.
There is a saying that one man is short and three people are long, and I hope that everyone will abandon the burden of being captured and work together to catch up with the big army. As for the question that Political Commissar Yao asked me just now, what I want to tell you is. On the banks of the Xiangjiang River, the Red Eighth Army almost existed in name only, and we had more than 80,000 people out at that time, and we lost most of them on the Xiangjiang River.
Fortunately, God has eyes, and our Party Central Committee has successfully broken out of the enemy's encirclement. As long as we are convinced that victory will be ours, then we have a chance to catch up with the big army. However, as far as we know from the enemy, the main forces have reached the border of your province.
This means that even if we want to catch up with the big army, we will not be able to catch up in a day or two. Therefore, the formation of a separate battalion and the name of it as the rearguard was intended to inform these reactionary enemies. They will never be able to erase the revolutionary conviction of our Red Army, and we, the soldiers, who are separated from the large army, can defeat them.
Don't you see, isn't a big Dao County also taken by one of my battalions? As long as we have weapons in our hands and food in our stomachs, are we still afraid of the round-up of these oppositionists?
What we have to do is to be an iron guard that cannot be broken or dragged down, to share the pressure on the main force, and at the same time, so that one day we can break through the enemy's encirclement and smoothly join the main force. Comrades, do you have faith? ”
From the first time I knew the news of the large army after being captured, and I also knew that the Xiangjiang Battle ended smoothly, and the casualties in He Zhengdao's mouth and the lack of the formation of the Red Eighth Army being beaten. Among these prisoners, there is no doubt that the officers and soldiers of the Red Eighth Army are the most uncomfortable.
But thinking of He Zhengdao, they also understood that they had pulled up this team step by step from six people. If it weren't for He Zhengdao's rescue, their fate might be fixed forever in this county. When they heard He Zhengdao shouting out to be the iron guard for the main force, these soldiers, who felt that being captured was a shame, said in unison: "Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
Looking at these soldiers who were encouraged and regained their fighting spirit, He Zhengdao quickly said: "At present, time is tight, and many of us have wounded people who need to be transferred. Therefore, there is not much time left for us to talk. In view of this situation, the temporary company structure that was divided into political commissars by Yao will be followed.
Everyone began to follow the fighters of the independent battalion to choose their own suitable weapons and ammunition. If there is anything, we will wait until Dao County is released. In short, I hope everyone can follow me and fight my way out. Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. God blocks and kills gods, kills, kills! ”
As He Zhengdao was full of the three killing words shouted by internal force, the blood in the hearts of these Red Army soldiers was completely aroused, and then he also shouted three loud 'kill, kill, kill'. Let the people of Dao County and the Hunan army undoubtedly feel a little sweaty!
