Chapter 81: The End of the Commander-in-Chief
Seeing Chen Zikun in military uniform, the chief from the central government was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to shake hands warmly: "Old Chen, I didn't expect you to hide here." β
Chen Zikun said with a smile: "It's still the safest in the army, Xiao Ye, are you here to guide the work?" β
He was a major general awarded the title in 55 years, and was promoted to lieutenant general in 62 years, and now he is in charge of the main work in the General Staff Headquarters.
It turned out to be an old man, and the people in the base who knew the details were relieved, but those young soldiers and maintenance personnel who didn't know what was going on were unmoved and still stuck to their respective posts.
Chen Zikun invited Ye Xuefeng to his office to take a break and drink a glass of water, but was politely refused: "No, let's take a look, there is another stop, hehe, I really didn't expect to meet you here." β
Ye Xuefeng put his hands behind his back, and watched as he walked, the hearts of Yan Su, Chen Shougai, Longquan and others hung in the air, what is fake is fake after all, Ye Xuefeng has a strong party spirit and is very vigilant, and when he finds out the clues, not only will his previous achievements be lost, but he will never recover.
Chen Zikun smiled and accompanied him to introduce Ye Xuefeng: "These people are all maintenance technicians I temporarily recruited, the former Kuomintang Air Force retained personnel, although they are old, they can also play a little light and heat, and this plane has been around for a long time, but it can still fly after repairing it." β
Ye Xuefeng nodded frequently: "Yes, make the best use of your talents and make the best use of things, by the way, what is the name of your unit?" Which is the higher-level governing body? β
Chen Zikun said: "Our unit is called the Special Air Service Regiment of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, which is directly under the Central Committee. β
Ye Xuefeng suddenly stopped, frowned, and said, "The special air service regiment directly under the central government? How come I haven't heard of this number. β
Not far away, Chen Bei, who was hiding under the window of the maintenance shed, couldn't help but clench his fists, the matter was exposed, and there was no need for a desperate fight, and the net was broken.
But he heard his father's laughter: "Hehe, you haven't heard of it, my military unit is actually fake." β
"Oh?" Ye Xuefeng was also shocked.
"Since the launch of the Great Cultural Revolution, many veteran revolutionary cadres have been impacted, and I have been criticized by the Red Guards many times, and I am physically and mentally exhausted and humiliated." Chen Zikun looked into the distance and sighed, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's timely help, I was able to form this unit, and Mingli is a special air service regiment, but in fact, it is just a last resort measure to protect our patriotic generals." β
Ye Xuefeng couldn't help but be in awe: "The prime minister is really well-intentioned." β
Chen Zikun said: "The prime minister has no matter how big or small, every day is in charge, and he will do his best for this country, Xiaoye, the next time you see him, say hello for me." β
Ye Xuefeng said solemnly: "Definitely." β
Chen Zikun said: "My base, which is short of food and little quilt, is not linked to the logistics department of the military region, and it is not easy to disturb the prime minister, so life is difficult." β
Ye Xuefeng said: "Since it is a highly confidential unit, the military region can't blame them if they don't know, so let's do it, I'll give you a temporary number, and you can get supplies from the logistics department of the provincial military district, what do you think?" β
Chen Zikun said: "This is not good. But with a happy expression, he clearly agreed.
Ye Xuefeng said: "It's so decided, the number code of the air service unit starts with 39, since you are directly under the central government, and you are a fictitious number, you will be called 39000 troops to the outside world." β
Chen Zikun said: "Then it will trouble you." I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately it was Ye Xuefeng who came, and this time the private salt also became official salt.
Ye Xuefeng looked at the clouds in the sky and said with emotion: "You are protected by the prime minister, but there are still many people in the center of the whirlpool, many old generals have been knocked down, fighting, Lao Wu is unbearable to be humiliated, he ......"
Speaking of this, Ye Xuefeng, who had been a horse all his life, choked up, took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.
"What's wrong with Changqing?" Chen Zikun asked with concern.
"He was shocked, he couldn't bear the humiliation, and he shot himself." Ye Xuefeng put on his glasses and regained his composure.
Chen Zikun looked into the distance and sighed: "Old Wu, you have suffered. β
In the distance, the attachΓ©s of the military region watched the chief talking to Chen Zikun, and they did not dare to step forward and stood by in place.
Ye Xuefeng looked at his watch: "It's not early, it's time for me to go, old friend, you have to take care." β
Chen Zikun shook hands with him again: "Definitely, we all have to live well." β
"Salute!" The sentinels lined up with guns and saluted, the convoy was billowing with smoke and dust, and left the 39,000 troop station, Chen Zikun and others finally let go of their hanging hearts, there was no danger, and they successfully deceived the regular number, and they could be more fearless in the future.
"Otherwise, let's just mess around like this, it's safe to stay here, and there are troops to protect us." Chen Shoudao.
Chen Zikun turned around suddenly: "The paper can't contain the fire, since the appearance has been revealed, the incident is only a matter of time, pass the order, step up maintenance, go all out, and leave here as soon as possible." β
"But ......" Chen Shou wanted to say something.
"Will the troops be safe? The dignified commanders were forced to commit suicide by swallowing their guns, can you expect our squad of soldiers to stop the Red Guards and rebels? Chen Zikun dispelled Chen Shou's illusions with a word.
β¦β¦
On the military vehicle, Chief of Staff Zhang asked Ye Xuefeng: "Chief, why is Chen Zikun here?"
Ye Xuefeng closed his eyes and rested: "This is the air service force directly under the central government, code 39000, and this is the situation you can grasp." β
Chief of Staff Zhang understood: "I understand, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." β
When the convoy arrived in the provincial capital, the commander of the provincial military district led his troops to greet him, and after a brief greeting, he introduced the situation in the city.
Ye Xuefeng immediately instructed that the spirit of the central authorities is to support the left, but we must not allow the civilian armed forces to become too strong and affect the party's leadership.
The main force of the Red General Division is students of universities and middle schools, sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, and everything is hot for five minutes, and there is some psychological fatigue after more rebellion, and as soon as the PLA uncle persuaded him, he surrendered his guns and went back.
Only Chen Zhong's gang of descendants refused to surrender their guns and remained entrenched in the Federation of Trade Unions building.
The female soldier Yan Xiaosong brought the Wuliangye that her grandfather had treasured for many years from home, Wang Xiaofei took out the military canned food and pried it open with a bayonet, and several backbone elements poured wine in the tea jar, and drank it all after clinking glasses, Yan Xiaosong choked and coughed, and his little face was red.
Chen Zhong said: "Comrades, the last moment of the life and death of the Red General Division has arrived, whether to fight to the death, or go back to school, let's raise our hands and vote." β
"I listen to the Commander-in-Chief." Yan Xiaosong looked at his idol with reverence.
"I think let's go back to school first, anyway, the provincial ** has been defeated by us, who will we fight next? Is it against the PLA? Xu Hongbing made a very frank suggestion, he is a ** disciple, Chen Zhong, who originally looked down on Chen Zhong, who made a fortune by destroying his relatives in righteousness, was forced by the situation before, but now that the situation is reversed, he naturally wants to jump out.
"What do you mean?" Chen Zhong looked at his loyal subordinate Wang Xiaofei.
Wang Xiaofei lowered his head and was silent, and said after a while: "I agree with Lao Xu's opinion. β
"What about you?" Chen Zhong looked at his younger brother Chen Shi with some annoyance.
Chen Shi snorted: "I...... I want to go home. β
"Something that doesn't make a living." Chen Zhong hated iron and scolded, he had Lingyun ambition in his heart, how could these ordinary people understand, what is it to defeat a province, the important thing is to grasp the grassroots political power, become the commander-in-chief in a real way, and realize the dream when he was a child.
Although Chen Zhong despised his father who was shot for stealing food, he remembered the stories his father told when he was a child.
Chen Zhong is a righteous and innocent little hero, he became famous all over the country at the age of ten, and he can be regarded as a young man, he looks down on Xu Hongbing in his heart, thinking that they rely on the power of their fathers to get to this level, and these guys are far inferior to themselves, revolutionaries from the bottom.
Chen Zikun became a general and overseer at the age of 25, and I, Chen Zhong, can also become the secretary of the provincial party committee at the age of 20, which is an ambition buried in his heart.
However, ambition is ambition after all, and the troops intervened in the armed struggle, and the Red General Division collapsed in an instant, and the troops were scattered, leaving only some subordinates who were not strong-willed, and they could not succeed at all.
Suddenly, Chen Zhong had a feeling of a hero's end, all his subordinates, including his younger brother, had betrayed him, and only Yan Xiaosong, who was like Yu Ji, was left by his side.
Outside, the loudspeaker of the propaganda vehicle of the leftist task force sounded again: "Students, lay down your weapons and go back to class, you must not delay your revolutionary study......
"Let's go, I want to be alone for a while." Chen Zhong stood at the window, his back to everyone, and the glass reflected his emaciated face.
"Commander-in-chief, you should also evacuate as soon as possible." After Xu Hongbing finished speaking, he left with Wang Xiaofei in great strides, compared to Chen Zhonglai, Xu Hongbing has more political wisdom, he knows that it is unrealistic to go to the dark on a road, in addition to being loyal to Chairman Mao's iron law, other positions and creeds can all be adapted.
Only Yan Xiaosong was left, and the young female Red Guard hugged Chen Zhong from behind: "Commander-in-chief, don't leave me." β
The girl's warm boobs pressed against Chen Zhong's back, making him disgusted for a while, when is it, this girl is still thinking about Qingqing and me, fucking petty bourgeois feelings!
"Get out, I don't want to see you again!" Chen Zhong suddenly erupted, his temples were bruised, and Yan Xiaosong was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and suddenly covered his face and ran away crying bitterly.
Under the General Union building, the last group of Red Guards stepped out and handed over their guns to the military task force.
The electric lights flashed twice, went out, and the window glass was blocked in the dark, Chen Zhong burned the documents of the Red General Division, and the last one walked out of the building, the sunlight outside was very dazzling.
Chen Zhong left the building of the Federation of Trade Unions where the Red General Division had been entrenched for a long time with heavy steps, walking alone on the street, thinking about how to make a comeback, suddenly his head was light, and he turned his head to see that a young man snatched his hat and ran away.
"Stop!" Chen Zhong decided to take out the gun, but the pistol had already been handed in, he chased after it without thinking about it, and the thief who stole the hat turned into an alley, Chen Zhong just rushed in, and was hit by a stick, which knocked him to the ground, bleeding all over his face, and in a trance he saw two people stripping their military uniforms and sneakers.
"You're looking for death!" Chen Zhong suddenly burst out, grabbed one of them, and the other person swung his stick in a hurry, and smashed it on Chen Zhong's head once, twice.
Finally, Chen Zhong fell to the ground, and the two thieves snatched his military cap, stripped him of his military uniform, military pants, armed belts, and sneakers on his feet.
It wasn't until the evening that Chen Zhong's body was discovered by the masses, don't think about solving the case, the public security bureau has long been paralyzed, the criminal investigation experts have been beaten down and criticized, and the military management team has complicated affairs, and they don't have the energy to take care of this file.
The commander-in-chief of the Red Guards in the provincial capital, the little hero of the righteous annihilation of relatives, lying quietly on the funeral home platform, next to a large number of plastic flowers, he was wearing a brand new green military uniform, a new pair of white pull back sneakers on his feet, a Chairman Mao portrait badge pinned to his chest, and a military hat beside him.
In the funeral home, crying silently, all the people who came to the memorial service were sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, Yan Xiaosong cried pear blossoms with rain, Chen Shi held the portrait of his brother, Wang Xiaofei and Xu Hongbing were solemn.
The drizzle was misty, the south wind was whimpering, and thousands of Red Guards with white flowers on their chests sent their commander-in-chief on his last journey, which was the last scenery of Chen Zhong's life.
