Chapter 52 5. Nine roads break through, leaving a trail of blood

The Workers and Peasants Drama Club has always followed the Central Branch Bureau, from Meikeng to Kuantian, and then to Jingtang Village. Despite the rumble of cannons ahead, the drama club still sang wherever it went.The most exciting song sung by the drama club is called "The Cannon of Victory".The main idea of ​​the lyrics is: the main force of the Red Army will soon return, the enemy's attack will soon be smashed, and the rumbling sound of the front guns means that the revolution will soon win... The Gongnong Drama Club is affiliated to the Art Bureau of the Ministry of Education of the central government (director Zhao Pinsan), headed by Shi Lianxing, and is divided into three troupes: Mars, Zhanhao and Hongqi.

In Jingtang Village, the Workers and Peasants Drama Club was stationed on a small hill opposite the Central Sub-bureau. Standing on two hills, you could hear the whistle blowing, but it took two hours to run back and forth. After the Central Sub-bureau meeting decided to break out, He Chang, director of the Political Department of the Central Military Region, drafted a mobilization report for the breakout transfer.He Chang handed over the task of conveying to Yuan Xuezu, Minister of the Enemy Industry Department of the Central Military Region.Yuan was the head of the CCP's underground organization of the Ningdu Uprising, and later served as the head of the group, the political commissar of the Special Science School, and the director of the Political Department of the Red 24th Division.After the liberation of the whole country, Yuan served as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xuezu went to the Workers and Peasants Theater Club first, and He Chang, who worked all night drafting the mobilization report, said to him: "The children in the theater troupe are so naive, they spend the whole day 'the cannon of victory' (the important sentence in the lyrics) Sentence). You go and tell them: the situation in our Central Soviet Area is tense, the tasks are arduous, and the overly optimistic propaganda is unrealistic. Tell them, prepare to endure hardships, prepare to climb mountains, and prepare to fight wars..." When the main Red Army left the Central Soviet Area to break through and transfer, Wang Ming's "Left" adventurists kept the Red Army's strategic transfer strictly confidential, and did not carry out ideological mobilization among the soldiers and civilians in the Soviet Area.Therefore, people who lived and fought under the Soviet regime thought that the Red Army went out to fight, and it was nothing more than usual. After a month or two, they won the battle and returned with the captured weapons and prisoners. rejoice.The innocent actors of the Gongnong Drama Club are working hard to create, rehearse, play the piano, practice songs, and prepare for the performance after victory.They didn't know the seriousness and tension of the situation at that time.

Comrade He Chang assigned this task to Yuan Xuezu, and he also cared for him, because his wife works in a theater troupe. The situation in the Central Soviet Area is very serious, but the general cadres and masses in the Soviet Area are not aware of it, because the "inside story" has been covered up all the time. The fantasy of "the trumpet of victory" is widespread.Until the eve of the Great Breakout, people who did not know the truth were still arguing about this issue. Chen Pixian recalled: One evening, I walked towards the mountainside.As he was walking, he suddenly heard the voice of Tang Dapao, the propaganda and agitator of the Political Department of the Gannan Military Region.He was raising his voice to speak to the soldiers: "Now is the last decisive battle between the Kuomintang government and the Chinese Soviet government. When the main force of the Red Army wins, we will counterattack. Go to Nanjing and hit Chiang Kai-shek's lair!" Listening to him From the sound, you can tell that he believes his own words. When he turned around and found that I was standing beside him, he became more emotional.

The soldiers gathered around one after another, asking this and that.A soldier asked: "How many enemies are there? Can we drive them away?" Tang Dapao fired as soon as he heard this: "I think your head needs to be checked. You have to know that you are not afraid of the enemy's thousands of troops, but you are only afraid that there is something wrong with your head." After the meeting, I returned to the headquarters of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region, and met Cai Huiwen, the commander of the military region, head-on.Comrade Cai Huiwen told me that the Central Sub-bureau held an emergency meeting last night and repeatedly discussed the instructions of the Central Committee. Comrade Chen Yi said that until now, the only hope is to break through and rush out.Where there is life, there is hope.Comrade Xiang Ying has accepted Comrade Chen Yi's opinion.

Finally, Comrade Cai Huiwen looked at me and said as if asking for my opinion: "Are you happy that you are walking with me?" I was so happy that I almost jumped up and said: "Great, great. " Cai Huiwen, a native of Youxian County, Hunan Province, joined the Communist Party of China in 1926. In 1927, he participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, and went to Jinggangshan with the army.He once served as the party representative and political commissar of the Fourth Army Company of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. After 1930, he served as political commissar of the Third Army of the First Army Corps of the Red Army, director of the Political Department of the Jiangxi Military Region, commander-in-chief and political commissar of the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region, and commander of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Military Region and Southern Jiangxi Military Region.He was awarded the second-class Red Star Medal issued by the Central Revolutionary Military Commission.

Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others made a nine-way breakout plan for the Red Army units concentrated in Xijiang, Kuantian, and Jingtang villages, as well as the Central Branch Bureau, Central Office, Central Military Region organs, and the directly under the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee: (1) Use the 7th Independent Regiment to follow Comrade Li Cailian from Huichang across the blockade line to the Tingrui Line and transfer to the Fujian-Jiangxi Military Region to carry out guerrilla warfare. If possible, go north of Bosheng to lead and resume the guerrilla warfare in this area. (2) Follow Comrade Chen Tanqiu with four companies of the 24th Division to join Zhang Dingcheng's troops in western Fujian and persist in guerrilla warfare on the Fujian and Guangdong borders;

(3) Four companies of the 24th Division led by Wang Jinxiang went to Xunnan and Pingwu to carry out guerrilla warfare; (4) With the four companies of the 24th Division under the command of Li Tianzhu and Sun Fali, rely on the original guerrilla zone in Xunnan to develop toward Dongjiang; (5) Advance to Yunnan with two companies of the 24th Division to establish a guerrilla zone and merge with the Xinnan guerrilla zone; (6) Transfer the 71st Regiment (approximately nine companies) of the 24th Division from Annan via Youshan to southern Hunan to receive the 34th Division under the leadership of Gong Chu and Shi Yousheng, and develop a guerrilla zone there;

(7) Send the Third Independent Regiment under the command of Comrades Xu Hong and Zhang Kai and send comrades working in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi to cross the Xin River to Hunan and Jiangxi to convey instructions and stay there to lead the guerrilla warfare. (8) The Sixth Regiment of Liberation Independence in southern Jiangxi was led by Cai Huiwen, Ruan Xiaoxian, and Liu Bojian of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region to persist in guerrilla warfare; (9) The headquarters of the Central Military Region directly commanded the 70th Regiment of the 24th Division. Zhou Jianping and Yang Ying served as regimental commanders and political commissars.Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, and He Chang of the Central Sub-bureau followed the 70th regiment.

The big breakout is about to begin, and people are about to leave the Central Sub-bureau, bid farewell to Jingtang Village, and go their separate ways. Qu Qiubai proposed to Xiang Ying that the three troupes of the Workers and Peasants Drama Club should perform for the last time.Xiang Ying agreed. On the evening of February 7th, it was raining and the weather was extremely cold, but Jingtang Village was very lively with bright torches.People seem to have forgotten the grim situation of tens of thousands of enemy troops pressing down on the border. Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, He Chang and other leaders of the central sub-bureau and the military region all braved the heavy rain to watch the last performance in the open air with everyone.

The programs performed include "Sister-in-law Wang", etc., and the scriptwriter is Shi Lianxing, a famous dramatist in the Soviet area. The party was hosted by Qu Qiubai himself, who gave a speech and awarded prizes to the winning units. Two days later, Qu Qiubai, He Shuheng, Zhou Yuelin, Zhang Liang and others left Jingtang Village together, and were escorted by a platoon to Changting in western Fujian.However, this trip could not survive. Han Jin, the editorial board member of "Red China", the official newspaper of the Chinese Soviet government, worked with Qu Qiubai for a long time and worked under Qu Qiubai's leadership.Decades later, he still deeply misses Comrade Qu Qiubai.Han Jin wrote affectionately in his memoirs: During the Long March of the main force of the Red Army, among the five editorial board members, Comrades Ren Zhibin and Xu Mingzheng left with the main force, and Xie Ran later rebelled. Comrade Qiubai, the two of us were in charge of the work of the newspaper. At that time, we did not expand the establishment, and we were not allowed to expand the establishment and increase staff. I remember that I also wrote a song titled "March of the Guerrillas", the lyrics are divided into three paragraphs, each paragraph has four sentences: I now remember that the first paragraph is written like this: We do not allow a shuttle to see blood, we do not allow a bullet No enemy, we are the guerrillas of the workers and peasants, hold high the banner of the Soviets! After the lyrics of this song were published in the newspaper, Comrade Qu Qiubai read it.He said: "This is very good! Compose a piece of music and let the actors of the Workers and Peasants Drama Club sing it!" I said, "I don't know how to compose music, who should I ask to compose?" "Let Comrade Cui Yinbo give the score!" Comrade Qu Qiubai said. Comrade Qu Qiubai and I shared a flat. He lived in the inner room and I lived in the outer room. We got along very well and talked about everything.At that time, he was also suppressed by the "Left" leaders, but he never said a word of dissatisfaction with the Central Committee and the Party.Comrade Qu Qiubai is indeed a very good comrade. On February 10, Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, and He Chang led the 70th Regiment of the 24th Division of the Red Army, the Central Sub-bureau, the Office of the Communist Party of China, and the team directly under the Central Military Region to leave Jingtang Village and transfer to the south of Yudu via Huichang White Goose Feng area. According to the breakout plan of the Central Sub-bureau, in the middle and late February, the troops from all walks of life broke through separately. On February 21, Xiang Ying reported to Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, and Luo Fu the current situation of the breakout of the various ministries of the Central Military Region, and asked the Central Committee for instructions. On the 23rd, the central government called Xiang Ying, gave instructions, and requested that "the people in the sub-bureau should not be gathered together. Except for Xiang Ying, Chen Tanqiu, and He Chang, other comrades can be in charge of work in other units. Chen Yi can lead independently An independent regiment." But Xiang Ying still decided that Chen Yi would go with himself and He Chang, and Chen Tanqiu would go to Zhang Dingcheng's office in western Fujian to guide his work. Break out before it's too late.As soon as the ministries were dispatched, they were blocked. Nearly 100,000 Chen Cheng's troops from the north pressed down from north to south, and 60,000 Chen Jitang's troops from the south were strictly blocked. Chen Yi was full of grief and indignation when recalling the scene at this time: four months wasted, the morale of the army was slackened, the army disintegrated, and there was no will to fight.The country is extinct!People have marched thousands of miles to the minority areas, and they have reached the verge of death, and almost perished; our place has also almost reached the verge of extinction.Such a big country is dead.Experienced the pain of subjugation.China is so big, but there is no place to go, it is difficult to go to a family, and it is difficult to vote in a country.There are enemies on all sides and gunshots everywhere. Cry here to catch, there call to kill.Cough, old men, children, and women are full of pits and valleys, running all over the village, with nowhere to go.Some common people know me and ask me what should I do?Saying that the Red Army shouldn't leave, it wouldn't be like this if the Red Army didn't leave.They don't know that the Red Army can't do without leaving.Mobilize them to go home, but if they don't return, they follow the team. The more they do this, the more it will affect the team.The common people and wounded soldiers followed in large numbers, and they were all spoils of war in the hands of the enemy.It was a tragic scene of ruin and family destruction.So decided to break through. Breaking through can only be a narrow escape. The Seventh Independent Regiment led by Li Cailian was the first route.The first route started from Tongbo Mountain in Ruixi. Originally, they wanted to break out of the border of Fujian and Jiangxi. If possible, they would transfer to the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Bosheng County (now Ningdu), where the Jiangsu Province is located, to lead the guerrilla warfare in this area.But when they reached Ruijin Jiubao, the troops were dispersed.Li Cailian went through all kinds of hardships, collected the defeated troops, and finally got in touch with Lai Changzuo, secretary of the Ruixi Special Committee, but died in a breakout battle. In 1986, when Salisbury wrote the later popular "Long March - An Unheard Story", he still didn't know much about Li Cailian.Later, people consulted General Zhang Aiping, Minister of National Defense, and Chen Pixian, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress, and consulted countless documents and newspapers in the Soviet area, only to find out a little bit about Li Cailian's life experience. Li Cailian, a native of Xingwu County, Jiangxi Province, joined the Communist Party of China in 1928. She was the first Secretary of the Central County Committee of the Shaoxing Communist Party, Secretary of the Central County Committee of Guangchang, and Secretary of the Children's Bureau of Jiangxi Province. In 1934, she succeeded Zhang Aiping as the Central Chief of the Young Pioneers. Secretary of the Central Branch of the Communist Party of China.He was only 22 years old when he died.His wife, Chi Yuhua, has not seen each other since they separated in 1933.Already in his 70s, he is still in the countryside of his hometown Xingguo. Liang Guang, who was the head of the Central Executive Department of the ACFTU at the time, was charged with the special task of going to Shanghai to set up a radio station for the Central Bureau, and he had to go to sea through the southern Fujian transportation line.Therefore, he followed Chen Tanqiu all the way to the west of Fujian. In 1979, Liang Guang recalled this experience and said: "Chen Tanqiu and Tan Zhenlin led a reinforced battalion with four companies and relatively strong combat effectiveness. It was about the end of spring, and we set off from a place southwest of Ruijin. At this time , The enemy has set up a heavy blockade along the border between Fujian and Jiangxi, and used six entire regiments to block us and chase us. Every step forward, we have to go through arduous battles. "In the battle near Sidu, our only heavy machine gun was destroyed, and the battalion commander was also sacrificed. Comrade Zhenlin personally took command. At night, we broke through the enemy's defense line. In the big mountain. This mountain is very steep, and the road on the cliff is narrow. It’s dark and you can’t see your fingers. In order to prevent the target from being exposed, flashlights are not allowed on the march. One by one, we climbed the cliff by feeling the rope. Suddenly , Comrade Tanqiu stepped on the ground and fell down. I found him at the bottom of the valley at dawn. I saw him covered in blood, his left foot fell to a broken toe, his palm was broken, and his ear was injured. He endured the pain , was supported by us to catch up with the troops. "According to intelligence, the enemy is encircling from all sides, and the situation is still dangerous. Comrade Tanqiu discussed with us, and in order to reduce the number of operational targets, we decided to take two routes: Comrade Tan Zhenlin and two companies followed Comrade Tanqiu to take the path; I led two companies across the main road to cover and attract the enemy. As a result, we arrived at the scheduled assembly point first. After waiting for a while, Comrade Tan Zhenlin arrived with two companies, and everyone was very happy. "After another few days of hard marching, we finally arrived at Yongding Chizhai and joined comrades such as Zhang Dingcheng and Deng Zihui. Comrade Tanqiu presided over a significant military and political conference in Southwest Fujian there, and studied and determined the policy of guerrilla warfare." Wu Hongxiang, the former Secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, who persisted in the arduous three-year guerrilla war with Zhang Dingcheng, Deng Zihui, and Tan Zhenlin in western Fujian, recalled: "In our guerrilla zone, there are still nearly two regiments of troops left. and the Soviet regime in the three counties were in a state of scattered chaos. At this critical juncture, Comrade Tan Qiu, as the representative of the Central Committee, immediately called an emergency meeting of the military and political leaders of the Southwest Fujian Party, announcing the establishment of the Southwest Fujian Military and Political Committee, with Zhang Dingcheng as the chairman and Deng Zihui , Tan Zhenlin as the vice-chairman, unified leadership and command of the Red Army in southwestern Fujian and guerrillas from all over the country to fight against the enemy. In this way, the dangerous situation of dispersion and fragmentation was resolved. This is a very important contribution and contribution of Comrade Tan Qiu.” Wang Jinxiang, director of the Central Soviet Branch of the State Political Security Bureau, and Li Tianzhu, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Hunan-Jiangxi Military Region, each led four companies of the Red 24th Division to break out to the south of Xunwu. Around March 25, 1935, in the Qingxi area on the border of Anyuan and Xunwu, they were blocked by the Fourth Independent Division of the Cantonese Army.After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, the troops suffered heavy losses.Wang Jinxiang and Li Tianzhu each had 20 or 30 people left, and arrived in the southern mountainous area of ​​Xunwu at the end of the month. Gong Chu, chief of staff of the Central Military Region, and Shi Yousheng, political commissar of the 71st Regiment of the 24th Division, led the 71st Regiment from Hefeng to southern Hunan. Arrived at Anxi and Jifu, Xinfeng on March 2. After Jifu met the enemy and fought fiercely, they rushed to Youshan in Xinfeng, and then transferred to southern Shonan. Mao Zetan led a company to set off from Hefeng in mid-March, via Huichang, Bai'e, and Xiaomi, and arrived in western Fujian, where he joined Wan Yongcheng, secretary of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, and Long Tengyun, commander of the provincial military region.A month later, Mao Zetan was killed in action in the Honglin Mountains of Ruijin.The enemy found photos of Mao Zetan's brother Mao Zedong and Zhu De from Mao Zetan's body. On the eve of the breakout, Zhang Kai, director of the Political Department of the Health Department of the Central Military Region, was transferred to the Third Independent Regiment as a political commissar, Xu Hong, head of the Third Independent Regiment, and Chen Tiesheng, director of the Political Department.Zhang Kai wrote in his memories: Comrade Chen Yi asked Xu Hong and me to talk and explain the task, and asked us to go to the third regiment to work immediately and prepare to disperse and break through. The Central Sub-bureau originally decided that Comrade Ruan Xiaoxian would go with our regiment, but later, because he was the Secretary of the Gannan Provincial Party Committee, it decided that he would go with the Gannan provincial government and troops. The Central Sub-bureau also introduced Comrades Chen Zhengren and Peng Ru to go with us.When Comrade Chen Yi explained the tasks to us, he repeatedly told us that the enemy may be chasing and intercepting us on the way to break through. We must deal with all problems independently, and we must get in touch with the local party organizations and guerrillas in the base areas, and rely on the masses for survival and development. . Immediately after we accepted the mission, we went to the regiment.At this time, the enemy had already attacked the Hefeng area, and part of the independent regiment was in contact with the enemy.The situation was urgent, so we immediately decided to divide the whole regiment into two routes: one led by Xu Hong with five companies, and the other led by me with five companies. Advance in the direction of Kang, Chongyi, and Shangjue, and then rendezvous in the Suichuan and Ningkang areas.Our action was hasty.I led the way, starting from the small stream in Yudu, and crossing the Xinfeng River between Wangmudu and Dabu.Since the enemy had deployed troops along the river to defend, they failed to cross the river and lost more than a hundred men, so they had to turn back and go south.At that time, it was planned to intervene between Xinfeng and Nanxiong. When we passed Longbu, Chongshi, Bangong, Gupi, Anxiyu and other places, we were chased and intercepted by the enemy along the way, and the troops suffered a lot. When we arrived at Jiulong Cockroach in the southwest of Anyuan, there were only 150 or 60 people left .Later, he went to the mountains south of Anyuan and found Du Munan, Secretary of the Anyuan County Party Committee. There were only a hundred people left in the army.After discussion, we decided to take in the dispersed troops for reorganization, and then go to the Hunan and Jiangxi borders, so we persisted in guerrilla warfare in the area south of Anyuan.At this time, it was late March. The road led by Xu Hong also failed to cross the Xinfeng River, and the troops suffered even greater losses.According to some separated personnel, the troops were scattered, some were killed or wounded, some were captured, and it is unclear how many people remained and where they went.Xu Hong's whereabouts were unknown during the battle.After we were dispatched, we lost contact with the Central Sub-bureau and the Central Military Region, and we have not been able to contact them since then. Chen Zhengren, vice chairman of the Soviet government of Jiangxi Province (he served as the first secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee after liberation) broke through with the Third Independent Regiment and survived.In his "My Autobiography" written in Yan'an in 1940, he recalled the scene in detail: In the spring of 1935, when the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area broke through for the second time, I was still ill at that time. The situation was serious, and it was impossible to find a place to recuperate in the Soviet area, so it was decided that Comrade Yi Li and I would go to the White area to recuperate, and that Comrade Peng Ru (Chen Zhengren's wife) would go with me.Comrade Yi Li was sacrificed by the enemy on his way to the White Area.Comrades Xiang Ying and Chen Yi were responsible for the decision and handling of this issue.At that time, the party gave me two years of medical expenses and Peng Ru one hundred and fifty yuan, and decided that we would sneak into the white area with a unit in disguise. Peng Ru and I set off with the Third Independence Regiment in the spring of each year, and it was expected that the unit would cross the Xinfeng River and go to Xinkang and Jiangxi.But it didn't work out.The two of us followed the troops to the guerrilla area of ​​the Annan County Party Committee. After several fierce battles, we fought a battle with a part of the Ninth Independence Division of the Guangdong Enemy at Xun'an.Our army retreated, and Peng Ru was captured during the battle.We followed the troops.In the end, I discussed with Comrade Chen Tiesheng, Director of the Political Department of the Third Independent Regiment, to sneak into the White Area from the Anyuan countryside in disguise. I walked with Chen Yixin Zhoushi, led by a porter I knew well, and arrived safely in Meixian County in the summer of 1935. , and later arrived in Hong Kong via Chaoshan with Chen Yixin. After Comrade Peng Ru was captured, she was rescued and released by her brother Peng Ying.Chen Zhengren sneaked to Qishi Village, Yizhang, Hunan Province, Peng Ru's hometown, to recuperate. In May 1937, Chen Zhengren arrived in Yan'an after going through hardships and twists and turns. In late February 1935, the troops from the Ninth Route of the Red Army rushed to the Seventh Route one after another, and the remaining Central Sub-bureau and Gannan Province Two Routes left Hefeng and transferred to Shangping Mountain. At the beginning of March, the Central Soviet region of the Chinese Soviet Republic, which was so red through the southeast half, was left with only a palm-sized place like Shangping Mountain. The Kuomintang army besieging Shangpingshan has nearly 50,000 people, while the 70th Regiment of the Red 24th Division and the Independent Regiment in this area have no more than 3,000 to 4,000 people.Chen Cheng telegraphed to Chiang Kai-shek that all the "red bandits" in the Central Soviet Area had been besieged, and that the capture of Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, He Chang and other "bandit leaders" alive was just around the corner.The Central Military Region decided that the Southern Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, the Military Region, the Provincial Soviet Union, and the troops directly under it would break through the blockade and go to the Jiangxi and Guangdong borders centered on Youshan. In November 1934, Jiangxi-Guangdong Border was approved by the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Military Region, and the Jiangxi-Guangdong Border Special Committee and Military Division of the Communist Party of China were established.Li Letian, secretary of the special committee and commander of the military division, and Yang Shangkui, deputy secretary of the special committee. Li Letian, a native of Nanxiong, Guangdong. In 1927, he was admitted to Jiangxi Dayu Provincial No. 14 Middle School. In the spring of 1927, he joined the Communist Party of China. In February 1928, he took part in leading the peasants' armed uprising in Nanxiong County. In August of the same year, he served as the leader of the Youshan guerrilla. In April 1930, he served as the political officer of the 26th column of the Gannan Red Army. In April 1932, he served as the secretary of the Nanxiong County Committee of the Communist Party of China. In June 1934, he served as the chairman of the Jiangxi-Guangdong Border Military and Political Committee. In December of the same year, he served as the secretary of the Xinkang Ganxiong Special Committee (later changed to Jiangxi-Guangdong Border) and the commander and political commissar of the military division. From March 1935, together with Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, etc., he jointly led the guerrilla war on the border between Jiangxi and Guangdong. In January 1936, he died heroically in Xiaohe Township, Xinfeng. Yang Shangkui was born in Xingguo County, Jiangxi Province. Participated in the revolution in 1928. He served as Propaganda Minister of Xingguo County Party Committee, Secretary of Shicheng County Party Committee, Propaganda Director of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, Propaganda Director of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Special Committee. war.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he served as Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, First Secretary, and Secretary of the East China Bureau. Died of illness in Nanchang in 1986. On March 4, the Southern Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Provincial Soviet Union, the Provincial Military Region, "Red China", and the Workers and Peasants Drama Club were led by Cai Huiwen, Commander of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region, Ruan Xiaoxian, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Liu Bojian, Director of the Political Department of the Provincial Military Region. , began to break out. Before breaking through the siege, Cai Huiwen once wrote a poem: On March 4, as soon as the troops in southern Jiangxi Province were dispatched, it began to rain cats and dogs. According to Cai Huiwen's order, a force equipped with a heavy machine gun company seized the commanding heights of Niuling and took down Fort No. 3.The military region headquarters, agencies and guard companies are organized in the middle of the team; the other force is behind the guard and does containment work. It was getting dark and the mountain road was rough and difficult.Some comrades climbed up and down again, but no one complained.It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning when the team arrived near Maling.Take a short rest, eat some dry food, and prepare for battle. As soon as dawn dawned in the East, the battle began.The Red Army suppressed the enemy fortress with fierce firepower, and the explosion of machine guns and grenades was deafening.The vanguard troops rushed like dragons and tigers, and quickly crossed the two passes of Niuling and Maling. However, the provincial party, government and military organs were ambushed by the enemy when they passed Niuling.Relying on superior forces and fortress groups, the enemy cross-fired with fierce firepower, and the bullets rained down.Then, the enemy army behind the fort swooped up like mad dogs and cut off the team of the agency. The fierce fighting on the Niuling and Maling blockades was extremely fierce, and the Red Army suffered heavy casualties. Liu Bojian, director of the Political Department of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region, and Liang Baitai, deputy director of the Central Government Office, were wounded and captured. Provincial Party Secretary Ruan Xiaoxian was shot and died. Liu Bojian originally had a big goal, and riding a white horse attracted the attention of the enemy even more.First, the horse he was riding was injured, so he quickly jumped off, led everyone to shoot at the enemy fiercely, and rushed through the first fort and the second fort in one go.When he rushed out of the col and arrived at Xinfengtang Village, unfortunately his left leg was hit by a stray bullet. Liu Bojian also ran out of bullets, and he fell into the clutches of the enemy. In the battle between Maling and Niuling, the forward and the agency were cut in two. Cai Huiwen was extremely anxious, and ordered the heavy machine gun company to form a concentrated firepower, hit the enemy from the side with blazing firepower, and respond to the agency and follow-up troops, but the enemy was helpless. Tao came madly, and Cai Huiwen shouted loudly: "Comrades, rush this way, rush this way!" The fighting continued until dark.The avant-garde troops led by Cai Huiwen broke through the blockade of Niuling and Maling. Chen Pixian wrote in his memory: It was dark, but the rain was still falling.Like the night before, there was no starlight, no natural object to orientate. Relying on the direction of the wind and rain, Commander Cai looked at the faint fluorescence on the compass to determine the way forward.I followed Cai Huiwen closely. Fortunately, he was tall, so I could vaguely see him.I followed his figure forward.The trail was full of mud, broken trees, grass and stones, and the soldiers staggered and crawled forward. At dawn, Yu Hu, the guard of Ruan Xiaoxian, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, brought the sad news of Ruan's unfortunate death. Cai Huiwen looked into the distance and said softly with a gloomy face: "The holy land buries loyal bones, and the heroic spirit permeates the Changhong. Comrade Ruan Xiaoxian and the martyrs who sacrificed their lives with honor, bid us farewell. Let them stay on the land of the revolutionary base! They will live forever in our hearts." Ruan Xiaoxian was born in Heyuan, Guangdong. Joined the Communist Party of China in 1921.Participated in the May Fourth Movement.Participated in the establishment of the Guangzhou Secondary School Student Federation and became the leader of the Guangzhou student movement.After attending the Party Congress, he served as Secretary of the Guangdong District Committee of the Communist Party of China for the Peasant Movement, and together with Peng Pai led the Guangdong Peasant Movement. In 1925, he presided over the Guangzhou Peasant Movement Workshop. In 1927, he was elected as an alternate member of the Central Supervisory Committee at the "Five National Congresses".After the failure of the Great Revolution, he participated in the Guangzhou Uprising.At the Sixth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he was elected as a member of the Central Review Committee. He returned from the Soviet Union in 1929 and served as the head of the organization of the Northern Bureau and other important positions. He joined the Central Soviet Area in 1931 and was elected twice as an executive member of the Central Committee of the Chinese Soviet and director of the Audit Committee of the Central Government.After the Long March, he was transferred to the secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the political commissar of the provincial military region. Liang Baitai and Liu Bojian were captured, Ruan Xiaoxian was killed in battle, and the Kuomintang army was in the dust. "National Daily" reported: On the 6th of this month, in the Luokeng, Jinsha, and Shiliao areas, they encountered bandits such as the Puppet Jiangxi Regiment and the Puppet 24th Division. The two sides fought fiercely for three days.Until the ninth day, everything will be resolved.During the investigation, more than 500 weapons were seized, and more than 700 bandits were captured, including Liu Bojian, a member of the pseudo-Central Committee and director of the Political Department of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region, and Ruan Xiaoxian, a member of the pseudo-Central Committee. Yu Hanmou, a warlord in Guangdong, used this as capital to ask for credit and rewards from Chiang Kai-shek.He wrote in the "Appeasement Bulletin" in April 1935: "The case that was handed over by the Fengjun Office to the Central Committee of the Puppet Committee to offer a reward for the purchase of the case should be a long journey, and the escort may be in danger. After this (March) 21 Riquanyu sentenced Liu Bojian and other five to death. They were sent to the execution ground for execution at noon.Lihe will sentence Liu Bojian and other five to death and the date of execution, as well as photos of the corpses of Ruan Xiaoxian and Ruan Xiaoxian before and after his death, and the statement and papers will be submitted for review!It is a public convenience to give permission for the record; and beg to ask the chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government Wuchang Camp for approval to give awards accordingly to boost morale! I would like to submit to Jiangxi Appeasement Director Gu Fucheng to sentence the puppet Central Committee member Liu Bojian and other five people who were alive and after being executed, as well as photos of the dead body of Central Committee member Ruan Xiaoxian, a total of 14 confessions and one deduction. Yu Hanmou, the commander of the Sixth Appeasement Zone in Jiangxi, and Liu Bojian also died together with Liao Xikun, Secretary of the Political Department of the Southern Jiangxi Military Region, Lu Rulong, Chief of Staff of the 16th Independent Regiment, Lian Desheng, Chief of the Transportation Section of the Central Government Office, and the Huichang Branch of the Trade Bureau. Wang Zhikai, Sales Director of the Stone Procurement Office, etc. Before Liu Bojian died, he left behind his immortal work "Walking in Shackles": During the breakout, the "Red China" newspaper, the Workers and Peasants Drama Club, and the team of the Gannan provincial government were cut off by the enemy, and most of them were captured or sacrificed. Han Jin recalled: After the second meeting of the Central Sub-bureau, Comrade Chen Tanqiu informed me to break out and go to Shanghai to find the party. At the same time, Comrade Zhao Pinsan also arranged for the breakout.Comrade Pinsan and I were arranged in the Southern Jiangxi Military Region. We arrived at the Jiangnan Military Region and were assigned to the Lin Hua Detachment when we broke through.It was Commander Cai Huiwen who incorporated us into this detachment.Lin Hua is the commander of the detachment, and there are several companies under the detachment.Comrade Zhao Pinsan and I both disguised ourselves as Red Army soldiers, holding a spear because we had no guns.Except for Lin Hua who knows our job titles, no one else knows.We set out from the mountainous area in the south of Yudu, and were scattered by the Guangdong army at the junction of Anyuan and Xinfeng. Pin San, Shi Lianxing and I were all captured by the enemy.The enemy asked us to hand over our guns, so we threw the spear to them.The enemy also confiscated the one-hundred-yuan note from me and my better pair of shoes. After being captured, Pinsan and I were taken to Xinfeng County. Since we did not reveal our identities, we were later released as ordinary prisoners.We left Xinfeng via Ji'an and Jiujiang, and went to Shanghai to find an organization, but we didn't make any connections. Lin Hua, the commander of the detachment, also died in the battle later.During the Anti-Japanese War, Han Jin met Chen Yi in Shanxi and reported Lin Hua's situation.Chen Yi said: "Lin Hua is a good comrade." Wang Xianyuan was also captured along with the breakout. He recalled: I was the chairman of the Central Coolie Transportation Union at the time, and I was planning to participate in the Long March.Later, the organization thought that I was from Ganzhou, so it was convenient for me to work there, so it decided that I should stay in the Soviet area. At that time, I led a squadron as the squadron leader, and Chen Yousheng was the squadron instructor.Our task is to cover the breakout of the government and troops of southern Jiangxi Province, and persist in guerrilla warfare in Hefeng and Li villages in Yudu.There were only fifteen people left in our squadron during the battle.We persisted for another week in the south of Yudu, and finally, I was also captured. I was escorted to Dayu.In the Dayu court, the enemy asked me to confront comrades Liu Bojian and Liang Baitai. Even though Liang Botai (Minister of Internal Affairs of the Central Government) and I often communicated when we were working in the central government, we pretended not to know each other in the enemy's court.They protected me, I was uncultured, unknown, and the enemy couldn't figure out who I was.After the confrontation, Liu Bojian, Lian Desheng and other comrades died in Dayu.However, I have not heard the news that Liang Baitai was publicly killed in Dayu. I estimate that Liang Baitai was secretly killed by the enemy.At that time, Comrade He Yi came to my house once a month to read the newspaper.She said to me: The enemy's newspaper did not see Liang Baitai's name, nor did he hear about his activities in Dayu. He must have been killed by the enemy, and he was killed secretly. There were more than 1,800 people in the team directly under the Gannan provincial government when they broke through, but only 80 people broke out with Cai Huiwen. A few months later, Cai Huiwen, Chen Pixian and others trekked across mountains and rivers, and after going through untold hardships, they finally arrived at their destination - Youshan, where the Jiangxi-Guangdong Border Special Committee is located. After the tragic breakout, Cai Huiwen was filled with emotion and wrote two poems. One is "Crossing the Peach River": The second is "Records of the Breakout March": Xiang Ying, Chen Yi, and He Chang led the team directly under the Central Military Region Command to break through the last route of the Central Soviet Area Nine Routes. They left Shangping Mountain in the south of Yudu on March 9, 1935. Chen Yi recalled the scene at that time: At that time, Comrade He Chang was very impatient and Comrade Xiang Ying was very cautious. He must send a telegram to the Central Committee (this is still good).In that case, no matter what, you have to act decisively.The fifth road has already broken through, and we will break out that afternoon.The sun was setting in the afternoon, and he must send the telegram.From sending out the telegram in the morning, it was not until 4 o'clock in the afternoon that the telegram was sent out, telling them that we could no longer maintain this radio station and that we were going to switch to guerrilla warfare.He stayed by the radio station the whole time while the line waited on the road.He Chang couldn't wait any longer, he said he would go first.I said you have to cross the Huichang River anyway.You first cross the river and cover us. We are the last group to go, and go with Comrade Xiang Ying.He went first with two battalions. After the telegram was sent, it was already dark, and we took a battalion and set off.As soon as he left, he was marked, the team dispersed, and the battalion commander disappeared.I caught a platoon leader and asked him to assemble the team, and collected twenty or thirty people.I told him that it doesn't matter if it's dark, don't shoot, don't shoot your own people, and wait for the enemy to rush over before shooting.Fighting with the enemy for a while, seized a hill.At this time, Xiang Ying disappeared again and could not be found anywhere.At this time, I saw a flashlight shining in the village at the foot of the mountain.At that time, there were no batteries in the Soviet area, and we did not have flashlights. I want to guard the team, as soon as I leave, the team will collapse. I told the platoon leader that the flashlight over there was flickering, it might be the enemy, or it might be our people coming to contact.You take two people to have a look, maybe Director He (He Chang is the director of the Political Department of the Central Military Region) is in contact, and let me know.Don't panic, don't shoot.Our task is to cross the Huichang River, and it is only two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it will be three or four hours before dawn.he went. There were 300 people in the whole battalion, 100 were scattered, and 200 people remained, and the battalion political commissar was still there.People all went to the mountains to cook and eat, waiting to meet up.I will go back after I analyze the enemy's defeat. They are not so active in counter-revolution.They can still make some money when they go to cadres and Ruijin. There are tungsten sand, our books, machines, printed materials, etc., and food. They can make foreign fortunes.So we rested and sent someone to find Xiang Ying. He was the secretary of the Central Sub-bureau, and he couldn't see.There were still gunshots by the Huichang River. This information proved that there were no enemies nearby, but there were enemies on the Huichang River. I was very worried for Comrade He Chang. It was starting to light up and people could be seen.Comrade Xiang Ying saw that the team had also returned.We estimate that the enemy will be able to come at least at night, so we can rest.From six to seven o'clock, the troops ate and slept.I held a meeting with the company commander and platoon leader to study the issue of continuing to break through. Those who had gone with He Chang in the afternoon also came back, saying that Comrade He Chang had died. It turned out that not long after He Chang's team crossed the Huichang River, they were ambushed by superior enemy forces.The troops were dispersed.On Tianmenzhang Mountain, he was surrounded by the enemy again.He Chang commanded the troops to break through the siege and went to Xiaolong's Guizhuang, where He Chang was seriously injured.这时，敌军愈逼愈近，叫嚷着要捉活的。贺昌高呼“红军万岁”的口号，将枪膛里最后一颗子弹，射向了自己的心脏，显示了他对党对人民的赤胆忠心。 贺昌、阮啸仙的阵亡、在陈毅心中激起了强烈的波澜。陈毅当即写了首《哭阮啸仙、贺昌同志》的诗： 贺昌，山西离石人。1921年5月加入共青团。1923年7月转党。早年在太原、北京、安源、上海等地从事青年运动和工人运动，五大时被选为中央委员。1927年参加南昌起义。南昌起义失败后，任中共中央巡视员，先后主持重建湖南省委和广西党组织，指导井冈山的斗争和广西百色起义。1930年后任北方局书记、北方行动委员会书记等职。1931年到中央苏区，先后任兴国县委书记，河西道委书记，红三军团第五军政委，三军团政治部主任，红军总政治部副主任、代主任，中华苏维埃中央执行委员。主力长征后，任中央分局委员，中央军区政治部主任，中革军委中区分会委员，协助项英，陈毅领导南方老苏区的游击战争。 随贺昌一起突围的高级指挥员有周建屏（红二十四师师长）、杨英（红二十四师政委）、李翔吾（中央军区政治部宣传部长）、袁血卒（中央军区政治部敌工部长）、郭如岳（中央军区司令部作战科长）等。结果，杨英、李翔吾牺牲，周建屏负重伤，郭如岳被俘。 袁血卒回忆：3月9日下午3时许，突围开始了，贺昌、周建屏、杨英等所在的第三大队，先行从上坪山区出发。我和李翔吾带第四大队跟进。我们的任务是抢渡安远河，然后占领会昌天门嶂山，掩护第三大队和项英、陈毅同志。我们出发时，项英同志正发电报。当天晚上，我们安全渡过了安运河，到达天门嶂。我们过河后，敌发觉我们的行动，当晚封锁了河道。这时，天下雨，河水猛涨。项英、陈毅他们没有追上我们，被阻在河西。我们在天门嶂停留了一阵，但一直未能同项英、陈毅同志联系上。 在天门嶂山上，贺昌同志负了伤，誓死不当俘虏，用手枪作了壮烈的自我牺牲。周建屏、杨英等同志不知去向，大部分同志牺牲了。最后剩下我和李翔吾、何侠、陈松林、廖得标、唐继章、钟伟生七人。我们被敌人发现了。 二百多“铲共团”扑了上来，犹豫等于死亡！我向大家说：“为了革命，冲吧！”廖得标第一个冲下去，他背心中了一弹，扑倒在地。李翔吾负伤了。 他勉强跑到山脚下，大声喊道：“为革命流最后一滴血，同志们，前进吧！” 他就这样，在伤势严重的情况下，举起手枪，自我牺牲了。 经过整整十五天，终于走出筠门岭，来到广东梅县的衢潭圩。天大明了，大家互相一看，只见每个人闪着通红的大眼睛，衣衫褴褛，骨瘦如柴，脸黑得像挖煤的炭灰佬一样……我们这四个人，我、何侠、唐继章、钟伟生经过千辛万苦，终于胜利突出敌人的重围，于1935年3月31日早晨到了上海。 后来，我们接上了组织关系，在严重的白色恐怖下又继续战斗了。 唐继章，一名死里逃生的红军战士。他当时在中央军区政治部当通讯员。解放后曾任江西省红星垦殖场场长（享受厅级待遇）。他这样回忆当年突围时情形： 我们百多人，牙没沾米，口没进水，顽强抗击着敌人。直到天黑时，敌人从三面上山包围我们。在激战中，有的同志英勇牺牲，有的被敌人分割。 我和另外四位战士跟着李翔梧和袁政委两位首长，最后就剩下我们七个人在一块了。 又过去了两天，我们仍在原地打转。这时，除了我身上背着的突围前组织上发给的两包火柴、半两食盐、小小的一瓶糖精和一些银元，供首长以防万一外，没有任何可以充饥的东西。大家的肠胃，早被折腾得咕咕响了。我们几个年轻战士还挺得过去，但看到两位首长也同我们一样嚼树叶，心里觉得难过，真想去找点东西让首长填填肚子。 晚上，我们五个战士，都请求首长同意我们中派一人去找食物。首长还以为是我们年轻，人挺不住了，就同意派陈松林同志去执行这个任务。出发之前，首长反复交待，不管能不能找到食物，天亮前一定要返回。 陈松林沿着溪水过了桥，朝对岸有几间草房的地方走过去。不料，那正是敌人的一个据点。敌人发现有人，就开枪射击。陈松林不幸中弹牺牲了。 从此，谁也不再提起找粮食的事。 我们继续突围。来到一个山谷口，在朦胧的月光下，我们隐约看到谷口有棵还没长叶的树，树叉好像有个哨兵模样的人，抱着枪在打瞌睡。袁政委低声说：“唐继章、钟伟生，你们爬过去，摸掉他。” 我和钟伟生爬过去。我一看树不高，猛跳上去，一把抱着那个握枪的人。 猛然，一股冰凉的感觉，传遍了我的全身。接着，一股臭味难闻的腹水，从那人口里喷了出来。这下我才知道，这是一具僵硬的尸体，而且是我们自己的同志。我心里一阵难过，小心地将尸体从树叉上抱下来放在地上，向他深深地鞠了一躬。接着，我们六个人就从那位烈士身边走过。 一日清晨，我们又被还乡团包围。突围时，一位同志牺牲，李部长腰腿中弹。我和钟伟生轮着半背半扶地护着李部长往前走。李部长突然把我们推开，喘着气大声地说：“同志们，你们快走吧，革命，一定会胜利的……”当时，我们感到很突然。当我们往前走了几步，转过身要去扶他时，他已拔出手枪，对着自己开枪了。原来，他伤势较重，怕拖累我们，才结束了自己的生命。他当时只有29岁。 李翔梧，河南洛阳人。1925年加入中国共产党，曾赴苏联学习，1931年夏从上海中共中央机关转到中央苏区，先后任红一方面军总政治部宣传处副处长、中革军委总政治部宣传部副部长、红五军团十四军四十一师政治委员、红五军团政治部秘书长、十三军政治部主任、中革军委总政治部敌工部部长。 郭如岳是临出发前被任命为红二十四师七十团参谋长的，没想到他的参谋长没作了几天，便被敌军俘虏了。命运似乎在捉弄他。 郭如岳回忆：向天门嶂前进时，部队遭到敌人的截击，伤亡失散过半。第二天，敌人派大部队沿山脚形成严密的封锁线。第三天，敌人开始清剿。山脚下到处是密集的枪声，我们部队一面阻击抵抗，一面向天门嶂退去，入夜，部队伤亡逃散已尽，只剩周建屏、杨英和我三人，连警卫员、勤务员、通讯员都没有了，我们只好在山头上隐蔽下来。 突围出发时，我们只带了三天的干粮。第四天，我们三人钻进茂密的茅草中，各走各的路，失掉了联系。夜深了，枪声停止了，我在茅草中来往摸索着，低声呼唤着“周、杨，我是郭……” 一夜过去了，始终没得到回声。 山顶上，就剩下我一个人。 第七天，郭如岳只能靠野草和沟里的水充饥，浑身上下无一丝气力而被俘。 被俘后的经历，郭如岳这样回忆：一会儿，来了个军官样子的，问我姓名，职务，我说“姓郭，叫郭守康，是士兵”。谁知过了一会儿，有一个小孩从远处望了我一会儿就走了。小孩走不久，一个敌军官走来对我说，“你不是士兵，你是参谋长。”我没作声。他又说，“那小孩认识你。”我只好承认是参谋长郭如岳。他接着说：“你们的政委杨英被我们打死了，头割下来挂在那里呢。” 我在敌第八师师部关押了三个月。后来，敌人派专人将我押送到宁都，1935年期间送南昌。江西省保安处判我十五年。第二次国共合作，我才被释放出来，我一直到处流浪、乞讨，作短工、零工，也作过长工，解放前夕又流落到上海。 上海解放，陈毅同志当市长，我去拜访陈毅。他将我介绍到九兵团任教导团教育参谋。九兵团赴朝参战后，我于1953年转业回到老家。 项英、陈毅率领的一个营，仅仅一个晚上，就被打散剩下不足百人。项英失踪后又归来了，陈毅总算放下心来。 贺昌所率先头部队失利的消息传来，项英、陈毅放弃了与之会合的打算。 项、陈决定找赣南军区去。项英、陈毅为了减小目标，决定分散开来，只带了三五个警卫员。 在深山中，陈毅遇到一个很面熟的人。只见他面黄肌瘦，光着脚拄着棍子，头戴一顶破钢盔。 这个人见到陈毅，突然放声大哭起来，跑到陈毅面前一个劲地哭喊：“首长啊，首长……” 陈毅定睛一看，原来是曾纪才。陈毅在赣粤边组建红二十二军时，他是赣粤边的一个区委书记。红二十二军离开时，他担任新建的代英县县委书记。 陈毅书记安慰曾纪才，劝他不要哭。末了，又问怎么跑到山里来了？ 曾纪才说：“我在代英当县委书记，人家来检查工作，说我是右倾机会主义，斗了我很久，这也错误，那也错误，把我的职务也撤了，罚我到红军里去抬担架。抬了两三个月，说我工作还不错，升为担架队长。主力红军撤退时，叫我押送一批土豪劣绅送外地。走到半路，遭国民党飞机轰炸，土豪跑了一半。这一来可糟了。更加证明我是右倾机会主义了。红军主力走了，地方上不要我，给我一张写明是个右倾机会主义者的介绍信，谁看了都不肯收留。这里推，那里推，眼看就要把我推出革命队伍了。” “为什么不回家乡去？”陈毅又问。 “拿着这种介绍信，回到家乡又怎么办。家乡的土豪劣绅跟我仇深似海，我全家都被反动派杀了，房子也给他们烧了。我离开党，离开革命队伍，还有什么去处？”曾纪财哭诉着悲惨遭遇。“听说主力红军走了，老首长留下没有走，我想找到老首长能收留我。我一路找到瑞金，瑞金县城被敌人占了，又打听到老首长在仁凤山区。我拿着这个破钢盔，一路讨饭，讨到了饭，就用它热一下吃。平时就用钢盔遮风雨。现在总算找到了老首长，我就是死也死在革命队伍里。” 陈毅劝慰地说：“中央革命根据地失败了，将来总会总结经验教训的。事情已经到了这一步，你也就不用计较了。现在我们在一起打游击好了。” 曾纪才点着头说：“革命中发生错误不能怪，特委、县委哪能那么正确。现在中央苏区丢失了，很惨痛，我来算这个帐不应该，我只希望将来重新作个结论。” 陈毅看着这位为革命任劳任怨、出生入死的好同志，亲切地说：“那当然，我虽然不能代表党中央，但我将来可以向中央讲，你不是右倾机会主义分子。” 项英、陈毅把突围计划告诉了曾纪才，问他这一带的路熟不熟。 “路我很熟。”曾纪才说：“正面过河怕不行，可以绕到上游去偷渡，我有把握。” 当天夜里，由曾纪才带路，项英、陈毅向油山转移。 在往油山途中，项英、陈毅曾几度历险。 项英、陈毅安全地抵达油山，多亏了曾纪才。后来，陈毅派曾纪才到游击区去做县委书记，发展党组织和游击队。战斗中，他英勇牺牲了。几十年后，陈毅还忘不了他，说：“曾纪才是个好同志。” 中央苏区惨烈大突围，付出了沉痛的血的代价，万余人的队伍只剩下了一千人。更令人痛心疾首的是许许多多党和红军杰出领导人、战将牺牲了：瞿秋白、贺昌、阮啸仙、何叔衡、梁柏台、毛泽覃、李天柱、刘伯坚、古柏…… 1957年7月，陈毅同志在一篇回忆三年游击战争的讲话中说，那时，我几乎每天晚上都做梦，梦见贺昌、阮啸仙、何叔衡、刘伯坚、李天柱等同志。 从1935年4月开始，项英、陈毅、李乐天、杨尚奎、陈丕显、刘新潮等人，以油山为中心，坚持了艰苦卓绝的三年游击战争，直至国共再次合作，改编为新四军。
