Chapter 18, Kunming

Xia Xinsheng handed the rope to Liu Mengzi, and led Long Yun to the second floor with Chen Geng. As soon as www.biquge.info entered Long Yun's office, Xia Xinsheng pressed his chest against the wall with a painful face, and cold sweat was already flowing all over his face.

Chen Geng quickly helped Xia Xinsheng and asked with a concerned face, "What's the injury?" Show me! ”

Xia Xinsheng endured the pain in his chest and lowered his voice and said, "It's okay, I was kicked by Chairman Long, but fortunately, I kicked on the magazine, and I scattered a lot of strength, or I had to break a few ribs." Fortunately, we tied up two catties of explosives in advance, otherwise we really couldn't clean him up. Teaching camp, leave me alone, I'll just take my time here! You should hurry up and send a telegram to contact the troops, and you must control Kunming as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and there must be a telegraph machine in the backyard, so you must control it. Don't make a fuss with a good deck of cards! Speaking of which, Xia Xinsheng really couldn't hold it anymore, slid down against the wall and sat on the ground, then lay down sideways, pressed his chest, breathed in small sips, and sweat beads flowed to the ground in a line.

Chen Geng looked at Xia Xinsheng, who was like a shrimp, gritted his teeth, squatted down and patted Xia Xinsheng's arm gently, and without saying a word, he bit his lip and stood up and walked outside with Long Yun and Liu Mengzi.

It is said that Luo Binghui had just taken the garrison of the bridge in front of him outside the city when he received a telegram from Chen Geng, suspended further actions, and anxiously waited for new news. Just a few minutes later, they received a telegram from the four regiments, and they were only ten miles away from Kunming. This made Luo Binghui more and more anxious, and after sending soldiers to answer, he kept spinning in circles. After a few more minutes, someone from the newspaper team ran over and reported: "The action team has sent a telegram that Long Yun has been controlled, please lead your troops into the city as soon as possible to support, and help control all key points!" ”

Le Deluo Binghui jumped high, quickly assembled the team and drove towards the city, and ran to the target under the greeting and leadership of the special department and the provincial party committee. After receiving the telegram, the Fourth Regiment quickly abandoned its baggage, and the whole regiment marched lightly and hurriedly towards the city of Kunming.

Soon after Chen Geng successfully controlled the west courtyard of the Long Mansion, he joined up with Luo Binghui, who came quickly. With the cooperation of Long Yun and the personnel of the Long Mansion, he quickly controlled the generals, military camps, police stations and other units that remained in the city.

The four regiments, which gave up all camouflage and marched, ran as fast as they could, and in half an hour they reached the victory bridge. As soon as the troops crossed the bridge, they rushed to their respective targets in battalions and companies, and martial law began to be imposed in the whole city, and they were not allowed to enter but not to leave.

Chen Geng and Luo Binghui sent soldiers to accompany Long Yun's adjutant to rush out with warrants to meet Commander Liu and cooperate with the control of the garrison troops along the line, and with the cooperation of the provincial party committee and the Yunnan army, they smashed the intelligence agencies of the major forces in Kunming, and for a time except for the Red Army and the Yunnan army, no force could get any news from Kunming.

The Central Committee also made arrangements as soon as it received the telegram, using a part of the troops to disguise the main force and lead the reactionaries in circles to win time for the main force to repair. On the one hand, the main force of the army secretly drove to Kunming. The central column also accelerated the pace of the new army. The entire First Front Army was in full swing, rushing for time.

After Chen Geng went out, he sent a member of the action team, and after Xia Xinsheng lay on the ground for a while and felt a little relieved of the pain, he helped Xia Xinsheng to unload the equipment tied to his body. Xia Xinsheng inhaled the cool air slightly, and with the support of the team members, he found a basin of cold water to wash off the wounds on his face and cool down, or he had to be swollen.

Don't really say it, the quality of the boots of this year is really nothing to say, I can't see this face in an instant when I step down, fortunately Long Yun does not have the habit of nailing the soles of the shoes, maybe fortunately Long Yun is wearing the boots without nails today.

Xia Xinsheng, the boots of the general school before the liberation, was fortunate to have seen it, and one boot weighed several pounds. And at that time, most of them had the habit of nailing their palms, so they walked with great momentum, non-slip and durable. Even if it is rammed earth, it is a slippery pit when you step on it lightly. You must know that the military boots of this will be in the style of riding boots, as long as you knock lightly, the horse will shiver in pain and rush forward. I want to step on my face, tsk, I can't bear to guess................

It is said that in the previous life, after Long Yun became the king of Yunnan, there were not many photos of military uniforms, even if he saw the president, he was wearing a long shirt, how did he change his sex and wear a military uniform today? stepped on a pair of boots so formally, it can only be said that Xia Xinsheng is too back.

Xia Xinsheng rinsed his face, and as the amount of activity increased, his breathing became heavier, and his chest couldn't stand it, so he could only be slowly moved to the room by the team members, sat down against the wall, and then lay on the chair to really linger. Xia Xinsheng fell asleep in a daze. This sleep was very sweet, Xia Xinsheng in the dream climbed the scaffolding again, and was busy with the workers, going straight into the clouds layer by layer, and suddenly a gust of wind blew Xia Xinsheng to the ground, and a little nurse pressed on his chest from the ambulance............

Xia Xinsheng woke up from the pain, only to see Long Yun pushing and kneading around Xia Xinsheng's chest, which frightened Xia Xinsheng and sat up. Long Yun was not annoyed, and said with a smile in the official dialect with a Yunnan accent: "The strong man who tied explosives to take my head would actually be scared like this by me." I've given you a massage, the craft is a lot rusty, but it shouldn't hurt so much, it should be completely fine after a day or two, it's me who started hard, and please don't blame you! ”

Luo Binghui, who was next to him, looked at Xia Xinsheng's strange expression, pointed to the old Red Army with glasses beside him and explained: "After Commander Liu rushed over, we had an in-depth exchange with Chairman Long, and Chairman Long very much agreed with our party's proposition and was willing to cooperate with our party to jointly oppose Chiang and resist Japan. You see, as soon as Chairman Long heard that you were injured, he insisted on coming over to take a look, and he just gave you a massage himself. And he kept telling us that you are a rare fierce general, and he told us that he was too heavy, and I felt very ashamed. How does it feel? Is it a little better? ”

Xia Xinsheng hurriedly struggled to stand up and salute Commander Liu, and then said to Long Yun with a red face: "Chairman Long, don't do this, if you are not willing to cooperate with us. The two of us still have my comrades-in-arms, and the three of us will die together, and we have to walk all the way on this Huangquan Road. Besides, it's already polite that you just kicked me. I'm already feeling a lot better, it's fine! ”

Commander Liu laughed with everyone, helped Xia Xinsheng back to the bed and said: "Let's not talk about the past, Chairman Long took the initiative to ask to prepare some supplies for us before the arrival of the main force, and the central government asked me to discuss with you and make a list according to the actual situation in Kunming." Then I would like to ask Chairman Long to prepare for us. Don't know what your opinion is? ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "In fact, with all the leaders here, they must be able to think very thoughtfully, and I can only add some immature opinions, and ask the leaders to correct." Xia Xinsheng paused slightly, thought for a while and said: "I think in terms of food, you need to prepare some rice separately, and you won't feel upset when you cook it while eating it during an emergency march, and it's easier to digest, and it's also very useful for the wounded and sick." Brown sugar and white sugar also need to be ordered as much as possible, whether it is to replenish physical strength when performing emergency tasks, or for the critically injured, it is very useful. We are desperately short of medicines, and many of our wounded have not been able to get good medical treatment. The demand for shoes and quilts is also very large, and many of our comrades' clothes are so bad that they can't breathe, and we are going north to resist the Japanese, and it will be difficult on the road without a few thick clothes! Needless to say, guns and ammunition, we have as many as we want. Salt should also be as much as possible, and it is also very useful, and we especially need it. The most important thing is to ask Chairman Long to help us prepare more food, our comrades have been marching and fighting under difficult conditions for a long time, and we need to let our soldiers replenish more nutrition and recover their physical strength during this time. Also, I don't know if there are any medicinal herbs or recipes for insecticides for the human body, so help prepare more. ”

Long Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and see the list of materials here in Kunming first, and try to meet your requirements." After saying that, he got up and left, accompanied by Red Army soldiers.

After Long Yun left, Xia Xinsheng said to Commander Liu Bocheng: "Commander Liu, when will the head of the Central Committee arrive?" ”

Commander Liu lifted his glasses and said: "The central government was lurking at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou before, and I rushed here in the early hours of this morning, and then Comrade Chen Geng asked the soldiers to press the car to meet them, and it is estimated that they will be there tomorrow night at the latest." ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "Please help send a telegram to the central government, and it will say that there is electricity in Kunming." This is a very important matter, please report it immediately. ”

Chen Geng said: "The Central Committee inquired as soon as possible, and the car we sent over had just received the Party Central Committee in the afternoon, and the other part of the car also set off to transfer the central column after picking up Commander Liu. Soon the central government will be able to come and fix it. ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "There should be a lot of mules, horses, donkeys and so on here." We can get as much as we can, and the use of mules and horses can reduce the burden of many troops, so that the fraternal troops can save physical strength. In addition, it can be used as military rations for some time when there are no supplies. In addition, as far as I know, there should be a lot of Haskeki air-cooled anti-aircraft machine guns on the side of the Dian army, which is a good thing, it can fight planes, and it can also put down tanks. Find a way to let Chairman Long contribute points, and we only need armor-piercing bullets to support bullets. The mortar also allowed him to contribute, and this thing was lightweight. I'm afraid that Chairman Long will be reluctant, Captain Luo is a little tired, so he will find a way to find out. We are so poor that we have to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! The Dian army has already begun to fully replace French equipment, so don't be embarrassed to ask for things. We can try to get all the other equipment to prepare for the future expansion. Our ranks are larger, and the reactionaries will not dare to chase so close so arrogantly. “

Luo Binghui quickly finished writing in the notebook and said: "Don't worry, I will never be embarrassed, how much material he has, how thick my skin is!" “

The words made everyone laugh together.
