Chapter Forty-Nine: The Salvation Association Changed Its Banner
At present, the "National Salvation Association" is full of money and food, the soldiers are strong and strong, everyone's spirit and mood are very good, and the training of troops is also very hard and serious.
In the course of military training, in daily life, at meetings, and in all activities, Commander You Jian (Long Tiangang) lost no time in instilling in the principles and policies of the Communist Party and explaining the differences between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang -- the Communist Party is thriving, the Kuomintang is declining, and the general trend is gone: On 8 January 1949, Chiang Kai-shek made a request to the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union to interfere in China's internal affairs, but was rejected. On 21 January, Chiang Kai-shek announced his "retirement" and appointed Li Zongren as president of the Nanjing government. On January 31, Fu Zuoyi rebelled, and Peking was peacefully liberated. Chiang Kai-shek had secretly ordered Yu Hongjun, the governor of the Central Bank, to ship all the gold, silver dollars, US dollars, and a large amount of jewelry from the treasury to Taiwan. On March 25, 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China moved from Xibaipo to Beiping.
On April 21, 1949, Mao Zedong and Zhu De issued an order to march across the country. The million-strong division of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) forcibly crossed the Yangtze River moat at midnight on the 20th, completely destroying the Kuomintang army's defense line on the Yangtze River. On 23 April, the Chinese People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing, announcing the end of the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang. On 27 May, Shanghai was also liberated.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Kuomintang to counterattack and restore the country, and a small "salvation congress" cannot save the fate of the Kuomintang from destruction. The only way out is to follow the Communist Party closely. Therefore, from now on, we must strictly discipline ourselves, behave in a disciplined manner, not harm the people, not bully men and women, and not do anything that is detrimental to the motherland or the reunification of the motherland.
Under the subtle edification and education of You Jian (Long Tiangang) and Su Meng (Su Tong), the personnel of the "National Salvation Association" gradually abandoned their bad habits, changed their evil ways, followed the rules, and acted in every move. Every word and deed is very different from before!
In such a favorable situation, Commander You (Long Tiangang) proposed to change the "National Salvation Association" to "Patriotic Army", which means to defend the motherland; Everyone agrees!
After the establishment of the "Patriotic Army," Commander You hoped that the soldiers of the "Patriotic Army" would learn from the Chinese People's Liberation Army and learn everything about the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Also like the Chinese People's Liberation Army. They are called "comrades" to each other.
Soon, You Jian (Long Tiangang) and Su Meng (Su Tong) taught everyone to learn the "three major disciplines and eight attentions" of the People's Liberation Army; According to the "three disciplines, eight attentions" to restrain and regulate themselves.
Then, You Jian (Long Tiangang) and Su Meng (Su Tong) taught everyone to learn to sing the song "Three Disciplines, Eight Attentions":
Revolutionary soldiers should keep this in mind
We should pay attention to the three major disciplines and eight points
First, all actions are under command
Winning is in unison
Second, do not take a needle and thread from the masses
The masses support and like me
Third, all seizures must be returned to the public
Efforts should be made to ease the burden on the people
We must do the three major disciplines
Don't forget the eight points of attention
First, speak with a friendly attitude
Respect the masses and don't be proud
Second, the purchase and sale price should be fair
Public buying and selling are not allowed to be overbearing
Thirdly, borrowed something that was used
Don't lose it when you return it in person
Fourthly, if something is damaged
The compensation according to the price is not half a cent
Fifth, it is forbidden to hit or insult people
The warlord style was resolutely overcome
Sixth, love the crops of the masses
Marching operations are noted everywhere
Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women
The habit of hooliganism must be eliminated
Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat captives
No beating, scolding, no searching of your pockets
Everyone should be conscious of discipline
Supervise each other and don't violate it
Revolutionary discipline must be clearly written
The people's fighters love the people everywhere
Defending the motherland is always moving forward
The people of the whole country support and welcome it
The power of political and ideological work cannot be underestimated, and after several educational transformations, every word and deed of the soldiers of the "Patriotic Army" is like that of the People's Liberation Army! The "Patriotic Army" is doing everything like the PLA troops!
"Happiness gives birth to sorrow, otherwise it is extremely Tailai".
When Long Tiangang and Su Tong transformed the "Patriotic Army" ("Salvation Congress"). When you're ready to do something big; Something is wrong!
On December 21, 1948, Jiangzhou was liberated, and the Guotong area became a liberated area; The Jiangzhou Garrison Command disappeared from sight; Xue Shan, the head of the Jiangzhou Workstation of the Secret Bureau, also escaped from Jiangzhou with a group of people.
When Xue Shan fled Jiangzhou, he gave a large amount of money to his henchman Hong Helang, who he had bribed, and asked him to form the "Salvation Association" as an anti-communist base, preparing to respond to the recovery of Jiangzhou in the future. Gao Baofu was also appointed as the special liaison officer of the Secrecy Bureau, and regularly came to connect with Hong Helang on the first day of every month; I also send some funds from time to time.
But after Gao Baofu went to Jiangzhou on June 1 to connect with Honghelang, he never came back to recover his life. Xue Shan was suspicious. He sent Cheng Zhou as a plenipotentiary commissioner to Jiangzhou with funds to visit Gao Baofu; If you can't find Gao Baofu. I tried to inquire about the waves of the flood river and connect with the waves of the flood river; In case you can't even find the waves of the Honghe River, go to the vicinity of Lijiang Xiahai and directly find the "Salvation Association" with Huang Tiankui as the deputy commander.
After Cheng Zhou, the plenipotentiary commissioner, arrived in Jiangzhou with some money and two gold bars, he made an unannounced visit for more than ten days and did not inquire about Gao Baofu's whereabouts.
According to the general direction of Xue Shan's inability to tell the specific location, Cheng Zhou finally found the impermeable hut of Honghelang. But there is no one in the house; I also saw a little blood on the ground - the situation was not optimistic, and the problem was very serious.
Cheng Zhou inquired around Jiangzhou and finally found out the address of the "National Salvation Association". But when he came to the door of the "National Salvation Congress", the "National Salvation Association" had changed its flag and was called the "Patriotic Army". Inquire again. This "Patriotic Army" is not Huang Tiankui as the deputy commander, but a person named You Jian as the commander.
You Jian? You Jian as a commander? Who is this You Jian? Where is that Huang Tiankui? Where did the flood river waves go? Where did Gao Baofu go?
Cheng Zhou reported his home to the person standing at the gate and showed his certificate; The person standing guard at the gate let Cheng Zhou in.
Cheng Zhou stepped into the lobby and saw that You Jian, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, was so familiar with it, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked:
"You're probably Commander You, right?"
"You ......"
"Oh! Introduce yourself: Cheng Zhou, the former head of the Xueshan Station of the Secret Bureau, is also the plenipotentiary commissioner! ”
"You are Cheng Zhou, the former plenipotentiary commissioner of the Jiangzhou Station of the Secrecy Bureau? What are you here for? Long Tiangang asked with an unhappy face.
'What am I here for?' The 'Salvation Congress' is our anti-communist base, and we are the top bosses of the 'Salvation Congress', do you think I should come? ”
"You are the immediate boss of the 'National Salvation Association'? I'm sorry! The 'Salvation Society' you are talking about no longer exists! Now this team is called the 'Patriotic Army'. It is the army that defends the Motherland. You Jian (Long Tiangang) said unceremoniously.
"You changed the phrase 'National Salvation Congress' to 'Patriotic Army'? How daring! The 'National Salvation Association' was armed with money in order to oppose communism and save the country in the future. How dare you change your name and set up another mountain? Cheng Zhou said angrily.
"How about I change my name and set up another mountain?" Long Tiangang said solemnly.
"You...... Hey...... Commander You! Where do we seem to have seen it? Cheng Zhou saw You Jian being so tough on him and thought that "it shouldn't be"; And suddenly there was a flash of thought that he had seen this You Jian somewhere.
"We have never met in our lives; You don't want to get close to me! Long Tiangang deliberately said that Cheng Zhou, who saw the clues, was close to him.
"You...... You are a spy of the communist army! Cheng Zhou suddenly remembered. Once when he went to Commander Qin Boxiong of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command to do business, he saw Long Tiangang, the adjutant of Commander Qin Boxiong. Later, I heard that Commander Qin's adjutant was a spy of the communist army, and he deceived Commander Qin Boxiong's top-secret "Blue Light Project" and his beloved "Golden Jade Clothes"! I don't know how this Long Tiangang could have turned into the commander of the "National Salvation Association" ("Patriotic Army") !
"You say I'm a spy of the communist army? Are you a communist? So what did the Communists send you for? Say! Long Tiangang suppressed Cheng Zhou with a compelling counter-momentum.
"I'm not a communist! I am Cheng Zhou, the former head of the Xueshan Station of the dignified Secrecy Bureau, if you don't believe me, please see my certificate. Cheng Zhou said and took out the "Paisi" and showed it to the little leaders below, not to Commander You above.
"Yes! It's Cheng Zhou, the plenipotentiary commissioner of the Jiangzhou Station of the Secrecy Bureau! ”
"Yes! There are photos and stamps on this faction, and there will be no fakes! ”
"This Plenipotentiary is true. Then his words are true! ”
"Then, this You Jian is indeed a spy of the communist army!"
"Oops! How terrible is this! It turns out that the communist army is all around us! ”
"Actually, the communist army is not terrible......"
“……”
Everyone was talking about it, and the situation suddenly reversed.
"Comrades! Don't take this guy's word for it! He has ulterior motives to disintegrate us! Don't say that I am not a Communist Party, even if there is nothing wrong with the Communist Party! Comrades, think about it, isn't it better for us to learn from the Communist Party's People's Liberation Army now than before? Long Tiangang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly used words to stabilize his position.
"You're not a communist? I think you are a veritable Communist Party! And it's a cadre of the Communist Party! Brethren! Everybody listen to me! He is not called You Jian, he is called Long Tiangang. When I was working at the Jiangzhou Station of the Secret Bureau. He once went to Commander Qin Boxiong of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command to do errands, and at that time this person named Long Tiangang was the adjutant of Commander Qin Boxiong. Afterward. This Long Tiangang deceived Commander Qin Boxiong's top-secret 'Blue Light Project' and his beloved 'Golden Jade Clothes'! Only then did Commander Qin discover that his adjutant, this Long Tiangang, was a spy of the Communist Army. Brethren! How could this Long Tiangang turn into the commander of your 'Salvation Congress'? How did you change the phrase "National Salvation Congress" to "Patriotic Army"? Where is your deputy commander, Huang Tiankui? Where's your number one leader? Aren't all of this questionable? Also, before I came, our Secrecy Bureau sent a special liaison officer named Gao Baofu to Jiangzhou to communicate with your No. 1 leader; But he hasn't gone back yet. Where did others go to the cloud? Wait, aren't all of these questionable? ”
"Yes! Where is Deputy Commander Huang Tiankui? ”
"Yes! Why did Leader Number 1 die all of a sudden? ”
"And why did Guan Shanyan, the leader of the first squadron, suddenly disappear?"
"Huh! I really don't want to know, I was shocked when I thought about it, maybe this You Jian is really a spy of the communist army! Maybe he really killed these people! ”
"Maybe this You Jian is really a spy of the Communist Army, he is a spy of the Communist Army! Deputy Commander Huang Tiankui, Commander Hong of the No. 1 Leader, and Gao Baofu, the special liaison officer sent by the Secret Bureau to connect with the No. 1 Leader, were all killed by this so-called You Jian Long Tiangang! A team leader who has a good relationship with Huang Tiankui said.
"Don't listen to this man! Don't be suspicious! I don't think Commander You is this kind of person! Deputy Commander Huang Tiankui was killed by the No. 1 leader, and this matter has been confirmed and announced by Squadron Leader Guan Shanyan! The number one boss died of a heart attack. And his wife Su Meng brought us a lot of money. This should not be doubted either. As for Guan Shanyan's disappearance, this cannot be suspected of Commander You, don't push the wall down and everyone will be suspicious; Let Commander You chill. And what did this person say, the special liaison Gao Baofu is missing, who knows if he is telling the truth or falsehood? Who knows if there is such a person as Gao Baofu, and if there is any connection between Gao Baofu and the No. 1 leader! Perhaps, as Commander You said. This man has ulterior motives, and he is here to disintegrate us! Yang Guoan, who was promoted to squadron leader by You Jian (Long Tiangang), said.
The small leaders were chattering endlessly, and they were all at odds - some towards Commander You, some towards the commissioner; Some think the Kuomintang is good, some think the Communist Party is good; Some remembered that the Kuomintang (the No. 1 leader) had supported so much money, materials, guns and ammunition for more than half a year, and they could not forget their roots; Some saw the rapid changes after You Jian became the commander, and thought that only by following Commander You could there be a way out; Some were not convinced that You Jian became a commander when he first arrived; Some believe that Commander You is capable, courageous, and has ideas. Can it be a big thing......
When everyone was inseparable, Cheng Zhou suddenly jumped in front of the leaders, took out two gold bars and said:
"Brethren! I have two gold bars here, and whoever arrests this Communist Party spy Long Tiangang will give these two gold bars to whomever he wants. Whoever sends this Communist Party spy Long Tiangang to the Jiangnan headquarters, I promise to give four more gold bars, and I will never break my word. ”
It's really a brave man under the heavy reward. As soon as Commissioner Cheng Zhou said this, he said. There is the captain of the third squad of the first squadron, who is the bachelor Shi Hongqing who sells oil in Dongguan Bridge and puts it on the stove. Zhou Biao, who was burned alive with fire oil; and the deputy captain of the second squad, who is Feng Qingquan, the murderer of Zhao Meiqi; jumped out together and called on more than 20 of his subordinates to surround Long Tiangang.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. Long Tiangang saw that the situation was not good, and he was afraid that he would not have a chance in the future. quickly pulled out a pistol and shot at Feng Qingquan, the murderer of Zhao Meiqi.
Long Tiangang killed Feng Qingquan with one shot, avenged the murder of his wife, and did it happily; But the situation in the lobby was very different - those who doubted Long Tiangang were even more skeptical; People who believe in Long Tiangang don't believe in Long Tiangang very much!
Commissioner Cheng Zhou has an order to catch him alive. Therefore, Zhou Biao and his gang did not dare to shoot Long Tiangang -- more than 20 people surrounded You Jian and kept shrinking the encirclement.
Feng Qingquan was the murderer of Zhao Meiqi, and Long Tiangang killed him! For the brothers who got along day and night, Long Tiangang couldn't bear to start - Long Tiangang fought and retreated, and after a stalemate between the two sides for more than half an hour, Long Tiangang, who was outnumbered, was captured.
After Long Tiangang was captured, Cheng Zhou forced Long Tiangang to confess all the problems; Long Tiangang scoffed and said a word.
When Cheng Zhou interrogated Long Tiangang, Zhou Biao, who was obsessed with money, took someone to the backyard to catch Su Meng (Su Tong), quickly took him to the lobby, and reported Su Meng's situation to Cheng Zhou. Cheng Zhou thought that Su Meng was very suspicious and might also be a Communist Party, so he interrogated Su Meng again. Su Meng also sneered at Cheng Zhou, and said every word. Cheng Zhou ordered Long Tiangang and Su Meng to be detained separately.
"Shangshu? Traveling Mastiff" cloud: "For the mountain nine thousands, the success is short." It means that the mountains are nine feet high (in ancient times, seven or eight feet were one tial), and only a basket (basket) of soil was not piled up. Long Tiangang and Su Tong transformed the "National Salvation Association" ("Patriotic Army") into a "quasi-liberation army", and they were only prepared to contact Secretary Qiu Fenghan or the brigade commander of the Snow Leopard, and this Kuomintang team would become a revolutionary team, and it would not be in vain for the two of them to endure hardships.
However, just when the big thing was about to be completed, a plenipotentiary commissioner Cheng Zhou suddenly came out to disrupt the situation; Long Tiangang and Su Tong both fell into the wolf's mouth, not only could the big plan not be realized, but even their lives were not guaranteed! The two of them were so angry!
Those who achieve great things must have the mind that Mount Tai collapses in front of them without being shocked. After Long Tiangang was angry for a while, he knew that he could not escape, so on the way to be detained with Su Tong, he motioned for Su Tong to try to escape.
Long Tiangang's judgment was correct -- what Cheng Zhou cared about most was the "big fish" -- a cadre of the Communist Army, Long Tiangang, who had usurped the command of the "National Salvation Association" ("Patriotic Army"); And the prevention of "accomplice" Su Meng is relatively much looser.
For Long Tiangang's gesture, Su Tong understood it; It's that Long Tiangang didn't signal. Su Tong also knew that Long Tiangang couldn't run! Only by trying to escape can he try to rescue Long Tiangang.
I don't know if it's the person who tied up Su Tong, and I couldn't bear to tie up a beautiful woman; Or do they think that Su Tong, this girl, is usually good to them - the person who binds them is merciful - the rope that binds Su Meng is not very tight.
In the middle of the night, Su Meng, who was locked in the firewood room, finally broke free from the rope on his body, escaped from the window, and escaped from the wolf's den with crawling and rolling.
Su Tong fled to the street. was caught by the night patrol of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau.
"Stop! Where are you from, and where are you going to be in the middle of the night? The night watchman shouted and asked the disheveled Su Tong.
"My name is Su Tong, I was kidnapped by bandits, I just escaped from the bandits' den, and I am anxious to find a complaint with the People's Liberation Army." Although Su Tong reported his real name, he didn't dare to tell the truth rashly because he didn't know the depth of these people.
"I was kidnapped by bandits, and I just escaped from the bandits' den and want to sue, so I should also go to the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint! How can you go to the People's Liberation Army to complain? "The night watchman did not believe it. took Su Meng to the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau and locked him up.
Why did Su Tong only say that he wanted to sue the People's Liberation Army, but not the Public Security Bureau? Because she knows in her heart that most of the police officers in the Public Security Bureau are good people, but there are also people who want to harm Long Tiangang; If you meet someone who wants to harm Long Tiangang, Long Tiangang will not be saved!
"The road is narrow!" Su Tong was afraid that there were people in the Public Security Bureau who wanted to harm Long Tiangang, so he ran into people who wanted to harm Long Tiangang. Who? He is Guo Yu, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau.
Guo Yu, the former head of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau, has always coveted the position of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau where Long Tiangang was served, and is bent on beating Long Tiangang down so that he can replace him.
After Long Tiangang's wife Zhao Meiqi was killed. The task force headed by Guo Yu "believes" that Long Tiangang is the murderer of his wife. Immersed in the grief of losing his wife and suffering great wrongs, Long Tiangang was afraid of it. Fearful and confused; He made a wrong decision and left the Public Security Bureau. Investigate for yourself "two? One or two homicides".
After Long Tiangang was forced to leave the Public Security Bureau, the officers and police officers of the Public Security Bureau all determined that Long Tiangang was "absconding in fear of crime"; "Two? Guo Yu, head of the "No. 1 and No. 2 Homicide Case" task force, wanted to make a big deal -- he repeatedly instigated and demanded that Director Chen Xiaoyu post a wanted warrant to arrest the murderer Long Tiangang. Director Chen Xiaoyu, who was urged by Guo Yu to be uneasy, also agreed to Guo Yu's request and let Guo Yu handle the matter.
Guo Yu got the approval of Director Chen Xiaoyu. A number of wanted notices were printed at once. For a time, the streets and alleys of Jiangzhou City were plastered with wanted warrants for the murderer Long Tiangang printed with Long Tiangang's head.
The matter got big, Long Tiangang's parents, Long Zaitian and Qin Keqing, found Secretary Qiu Fenghan; Secretary Qiu Fenghan severely criticized Director Chen Xiaoyu; Director Chen Xiaoyu demoted Guo Yu to the deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau.
Let's say that Su Tong, who was locked up in the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau, was anxious; But she can still be anxious and not confused. She told the police on duty that the reason why she wanted to file a complaint with the People's Liberation Army was because she was a distant relative of the commander of the Snow Leopard Brigade -- and that she would report her injury to the Brigade Commander of the Snow Leopard, and the Snow Leopard Brigade Commander would definitely send troops to clear out the bandits and avenge her (he did not say that he wanted to save Long Tiangang).
The police of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau listened to Su Tong's defense, but they believed it and didn't believe it; So he asked Su Tong not to quarrel and wait until dawn to talk about it; Su Tong, who was worried, had to wait in silence.
finally waited until dawn, and after the police on duty reported the exchange to Guo Yu, the deputy head of the criminal investigation unit, who came early, they went back to sleep! And Guo Yu didn't seem to care about a woman's request to find the brigade commander of the leopard in the snow, or thought that Su Tong was pulling the banner as a tiger skin, or even messing around - he didn't ask Su Tong back and forth to find out the situation, let alone contact the troops (Guo Yu didn't know that Su Tong would be involved with Long Tiangang; Otherwise, he'll do it).
Long Tiangang's life hangs by a thread, but you are leisurely and content; Su Tong was furious and claimed that he would sue Secretary Qiu Fenghan for dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.
As soon as Guo Yu heard Secretary Qiu Fenghan's five words, his heart became a little nervous -- the reason why he was demoted from the position of chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau to the deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau was that Secretary Qiu Fenghan ordered Director Chen Xiaoyu to deal with him. Now if this woman can really get through to Secretary Qiu Fenghan, then I, Guo Yu, will "make matters worse"!
Guo Yu thought of this, so he called the garrison brigade headquarters and asked the commander of the snow leopard brigade if he had a distant relative named Su Tong; She has now been kidnapped by bandits, has just escaped from the bandits' den, and wants to file a complaint with the People's Liberation Army.
As soon as Yang Zhonghua, the brigade secretary who answered the phone, heard that Su Tong had been kidnapped by bandits, he had just escaped from the bandits' den, and he wanted to find the People's Liberation Army to complain; Immediately asked Guo Yu to protect Su Tong well, and he immediately sent a car to pick him up. Guo Yu knew that the matter was true, so he became nervous - immediately released Su Tong, poured boiling water, and bought breakfast.
Suddenly, the jeep of the brigade headquarters drove to the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau at a gallop, and without saying anything, Su Tong was directly connected to the brigade headquarters. (To be continued......)
