It took a lot of effort for the cadres of the Military Management Commission to make Da Bolt understand how big an official Luo Ronghuan is, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Fourth Field Army are under his control, Da Bolt scratched his head and grinned: "Good girl, that's not as big as Fu Zuoyi." ”

The cadres scoffed: "Fu Zuoyi...... Forget it, you get a military uniform, register your name, go home and tell it, and then come back to report. ”

So Xue Dazhuan received a set of yellow military uniforms, a cowhide belt, and a liberation hat decorated with a five-pointed star, and wrote his name seriously in the registration book, and the cadres were quite surprised: "Yo, literate miles." ”

Da Bolt smiled innocently: "I can't recognize a basket of Douda's words." ”

received the military uniform, and ran home in a hurry, Xing'er was cooking in the pot house without noticing, and the sisters didn't see it clearly, so they saw the eldest brother rushing into the door like a gust of wind, and closed the door with a bang.

After a while, the big bolt came out with a smile, a brand-new yellow military uniform, with creases, the hat was worn very upright, the golden eighty-one word in the red five-pointed star, the belt tied around the waist, full of energy, seeing the mother coming out of the pot house, snapping a straight upright, learning to be a soldier and saluting.

The three younger sisters were all excited: "Oh, brother, you are a soldier!" ”

Da Shu said proudly: "It was Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan who personally approved the food for me." ”

Although the younger sisters don't know how big an official the political commissar is, they must not be small when they look at the posture of the big bolt, and they all chatter non-stop, touching their brother's military uniform and cockade, excited and envious.

"Stop arguing!" There was an angry shout at the gate of the courtyard.

Suddenly it was quiet, and everyone looked back to see that it was Dad standing at the door with an angry face.

"Dad, why are you angry?" The big bolt was very puzzled.

"Good iron doesn't hit nails, good men don't serve as soldiers, who let you be soldiers!" Baoqing threw the pocket in his hand to the ground.

Xing'er ran out of the pot house and was dumbfounded when she saw this.

"What's going on, what's your anger at her father, big bolt, what are you wearing this outfit for?"

Da Shui was unconvinced and said: "Who said that a good man is not a soldier, isn't Uncle Da Kunzi a family who only made a fortune when he was a soldier, and his uncle is also a soldier......"

Xing'er hurriedly covered her son's mouth: "Be quiet, don't mention your uncle, our family should only have this person." ”

Baoqing said: "Now that the whole country is fighting, can you be a soldier?" Your mother and I are both old, and you are a strong laborer at home, and you are gone, what should you do at home? ”

Da Zhu said: "Dad, your thinking is too backward, every household thinks like you, the Kuomintang reactionaries will not be eliminated, and the people of the whole country will not be liberated, I just want to be a soldier, avenge the five treasures, and avenge the poor people in the world. ”

Baoqing was so angry that he trembled: "You take off your clothes for me and send them back!" ”

"Not really!" A large bolt neck.

"Then you get out of here!" Baoqing pointed to the door.

"Get out of here." The big bolt did not hesitate, and walked away.

Xing'er couldn't stop her son, and came to Baoqing again: "Her father, what are you angry about, it may not be a good thing for a big bolt to be a soldier." ”

Baoqing pushed her away: "He is not allowed to be a soldier." "Stuffy head into the house.

The big bolt rushed out of the house, suddenly felt that the sky was high and wide, there was no place to go for a while, and I walked around the overpass, which was quite lively, and there were all those who played tricks and sold drugs and said that cross talk and foreign films, and the big guys all looked at this young PLA soldier with respect, especially those big girls and little daughters-in-law, and the eyes of the big bolt were full of spring.

Involuntarily, the chest of the big bolt straightened up, turned to a crowded place to drill, and muttered in his mouth: "Labor, borrow light." ”

When people hear his authentic Beijing dialect, they all want to talk, man, where is it? Da Bolt proudly told them that he lived in Xuanwu Gate and was an artillery soldier of the People's Liberation Army.

After a long time, suddenly a person stepped forward and grabbed the big bolt, it was a cadre of the Military Management Committee, he hurriedly said: "I didn't find you at home, it turned out that I came here, the army is going to go south, and I will leave tonight, you hurry home and say goodbye to your parents, and rush to the district immediately, I will take you to the army." ”

The big bolt panicked: "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The cadre said: "The troops are all vigorous and resolute, sloppy, you are sloppy, if you are late, you will be the first to be disposed of." ”

The big bolt answered, trotted back home, didn't dare to enter the door, was hesitating, the mother opened the door and came out, her eyes were red, and she saw her son busy and said: "The army is looking for you, saying that you will leave when it is dark." ”

"Well, mother, I can't honor you anymore." The big bolt bowed his head.

Xing'er pulled the big bolt into the yard, Baoqing was squatting in the corner smoking, and saw his son come in without saying a word, Erbao had already sorted out his brother's clothes, a few changes of clothes, socks, a pair of leather shoes, and made a small burden, and the younger sisters were tearful and reluctant.

Da Bolt picked up the burden and bowed to his mother: "Mother, I'm leaving." He bowed to his father in the corner: "Dad, I'm leaving, you always watch your body." ”

He also explained to his sisters: "After I leave, you take care of your parents." ”

The sisters all nodded and wept.

The big bolt took a deep breath, turned around and left, Xing'er sent it to the door, holding on to the door frame and looking at her son's distant back, tears in her eyes.

Baoqing suddenly stood up, took off a copper lock from his neck, and said to Sibao, "Give this to your brother." ”

Sibao ran fast, and ran to the mouth of the alley to catch up with the big bolt: "Brother, Dad gave it to you." ”

The big bolt took the copper lock that still carried his father's body temperature, and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

According to the instructions of political commissar Luo Ronghuan, the bolt was incorporated into a field artillery regiment of the artillery column of the Fourth Field Army, which was equipped with a captured American-made 105 howitzer, which belonged to the elite special forces, and the cannon was fixed on a flatbed car, which was majestic and majestic in the night.

The big bolt got into a stuffy tank truck, and his eyes were full of strangers with Northeast accents, and these big men wearing dogskin hats were very unkind to him, and no one paid attention to him, only the squad leader pointed to the corner covered with straw and said, "Boy, where do you sleep?" ”

In this way, Da Bolt left Beiping, where he had lived for more than 20 years, and the train was speeding south under the cover of night, and the tracks emitted an even rhythm, urging people to sleep, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. ”

The train stopped at an unknown small station, the four fields were vast, the sky was gloomy, there was a big iron pot on the station, it was millet porridge, it was hot and sticky, the men used horse spoons to serve rice to the soldiers in line, or used enamel bowls, or used lunch boxes, the soldiers served rice, squatted on the ground and devoured it, smacking continuously, like a group of hungry dogs eating.

The big bolt has no bowl, no lunch box, and he can't eat in front of him, so the guy doesn't care about him and says directly: "Next." ”

The people in the back pushed the big bolt away and continued to eat, and no one cared if the recruit was hungry.

I didn't eat this big plug.

……

Fenghua, Zhejiang, where Chiang Kai-shek, the former president of the Nationalist Government, temporarily resides, although nominally in the opposition, there are constant telegrams between Fenghua and Nanjing, and remote command.

After the Battle of the Three Great Congresses, the main force of the Kuomintang was lost, half of the country fell into the hands of the enemy, and it could only defend the Yangtze River, surviving for a long time, there was a strong river defense fortress on the Nanjing line, and Bai Chongxi's 200,000 troops on the Wuhan line, and there were no planes and warships, so it was not so easy to cross the Yangtze River.

But there is a link that has to be paid attention to, there is an iron bridge on the Huai River, a tributary of the Yangtze River in the central part, if it is occupied, there will be a hole in the defense line, and this is the defense area of the Jiangdong appeasement area, Chen Qilin, the director of the appeasement area, disappeared on the battlefield of Xu Beng, may have died in battle, and no one is in charge of this piece now.

In the early spring of the south of the Yangtze River, it was warm and cold at first, Chiang Kai-shek's robe and horse coat sat on the terrace of the top of the Xuedou Mountain in Xikou, playing Go with local celebrities, and behind him stood a stocky man, holding an umbrella and standing solemnly, on the stone steps down the mountain, dozens of attendants stood solemnly, and the periphery was the Imperial Forest Army holding a Stern submachine gun, and the entire Xikou was under strict guard.

A confidential officer hurriedly came, but was stopped by the attendants, Chiang Kai-shek glanced up, and said: "Jingguo, go and see, what kind of fame Li Delin has made." ”

Jiang Jingguo stepped forward to deal with it, took the secret telegram and looked at it twice, then came back and whispered: "Father, there is something in Jiangdong, someone Chen is secretly in contact with ***, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

Chiang Kai-shek said: "Isn't Liu Zhi in Jiangdong, let him make meritorious contributions and stabilize the situation." ”

Jiang Jingguo said: "Liu Zhi is afraid that he will not be able to control the scene, after all, Chen Zikun is the father of the party-state, and it is not good to mess around......"

Seeing that the president had something important to deal with, Lao Suo, who was playing chess, hurriedly left the table under the pretext of an excuse and went to the side to enjoy the pine and bamboo forest.

Chiang Kai-shek said coldly: "You immediately deploy, reactivate Ou Guangwu, set up the Jiangbei Formation and Training Headquarters, integrate the troops that were defeated from the Xuzhou battlefield, take over Beitai, move the military factory to the south, blow up the iron bridge, and leave nothing of value for **." ”

"Yes." Chiang Ching-kuo took a small notebook and made notes.

"At the same time, he secretly ordered Liu Zhi to monitor Chen Zikun, control him when necessary, and stabilize Jiangdong."

"Yes."

"Call Mao Renfeng and ask him to keep an eye on Chen Zikun's family in Shanghai and send them to Taiwan if necessary."

"Father, I'm afraid this is not good." Chiang Ching-kuo was a little hesitant, this trick was too explicit and equivalent to kidnapping hostages.

"At this juncture, we can't hesitate to make a decision to kill, and we can't have a woman's benevolence when engaging in politics." Chiang Kai-shek snorted coldly and educated his successor, and finally Chiang Ching-kuo retired.

After Ou Guangwu was removed from his post and investigated, he always had a grudge against Chen Zikun, and Fenghua sent a telegram to reactivate him as the commander of Jiangbei formation, and nominally all the troops in Jiangbei were under his control.

The old man's order was very clear, to destroy the industrial capacity of Jiangbei and not to leave anything to the world, Ou Guangwu decided to carry it out to the letter, gathered the remnants of three divisions and drove to Beitai, asking to take over the city.

The garrison also received an order from the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing, and the traffic police corps was placed under the command of the Jiangbei Formation and Training Command, and the city was abandoned, and the enterprises moved south, and those that were too late to move away were blown up on the spot.

The news soon leaked out, and the workers of the United Machinery Company and the Iron Works formed a factory protection team under the command of the underground party, assembled the semi-finished products in the workshop, set up machine guns and small cannons at the factory gate, and swore to defend the factory to the death.

Ou Guangwu's army is ready to move, and the entire North Taishan is about to rain.

In the Beitai City Hall, the military and political officials were all there, Xiao Lang, Chen Shou, Gai Longquan, Liu Xiaoyong and others sat at the long table, all with solemn faces.

Liu Xiaoyong said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time is ripe to launch an uprising. ”
