Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Difficult Times

September to October 1947 Dabie Mountains The weather was dull, and there was a faint sound of thunder coming from the depths of the Dabie Mountains.The low-hanging and thick clouds rolled and squeezed, and gradually piled up into one piece, sinking like lumps of thick lead, as if they had already pressed down on the already low roof of the ancestral hall.The air was compressed and became more and more stagnant, as if it also contained metal components, which made people feel heavier every time they took a breath. More than 20 commanders of columns and brigades sat crowded in this small ancestral hall in Wangdawan, Guangshan County. They were very close to each other, but no one spoke to anyone.Those who can smoke smoke, and those who can't smoke are also wrapped in the sea of ​​smoke, which completely loses the lively atmosphere of the past.Usually, they each take charge of their own affairs, and there are not many times when they can get together; when they get together occasionally, it is not one who touches the head of the other and says: "Alive?" Die?" Then he made some nasty and vegetarian jokes.Today, however, the atmosphere is very different.

When Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping walked into the room, the expressions on their faces were the same color as the dark clouds behind them.More than 20 cadres above the brigade stood up in unison, and a few people guarding the door greeted them, saluted and stretched out their hands habitually. Deng Xiaoping waved his hand in the air in return: "The battle hasn't been fought well, so we won't shake hands." He went straight to the table, asked Liu Bocheng to sit down, and then scanned the venue with scorching eyes, saying: "Today, everyone is called for a no-handshake meeting. Why don't you shake hands? I think everyone here knows in their hearts."

There was no sound in the ancestral hall, and the already heavy atmosphere became even more serious. It has been nearly a month since we entered the Dabie Mountains, and unimaginable difficulties followed as the large troops advanced. "The more you eat, the bigger the road, the smaller the road." This popular saying in the army vividly summed up the first discomfort when entering the Dabie Mountains. Most of the soldiers from the "Four Wars" were descendants of Yanzhao who were accustomed to eating millet and yam eggs, and the rice in the south could not fill their stomachs.Lei Jinchuan, the deputy battalion commander of the Mountain Pao Battalion of the 19th Brigade, has now retired in Zhengzhou. Recalling that period of life, the old man said: "When mentioning Dabie Mountain, the first thing that comes to mind is hunger. Rice is not food! After eating three bowls of rice, two farts, the stomach will be empty. Then scratch your heart with claws, your eyes turn blue, and you stretch out your little hands from your throat. After a few days, a battalion of big northern men have become "Southern barbarians" Son', the little face is sallow and sallow... There is still time to eat.

"At the beginning, I didn't know how to eat anything. I poured a bag of rice into a big pot, and it wouldn't be boiled no matter how much I boiled. You can't delay in marching and fighting. It doesn't matter whether it is cooked or not. You can eat the husk and rice. But You don’t count it, it’s not worth it, it’s tossing you on the road, making you have a stomach ache and diarrhea. No matter marching day or night, the team will be lively, everywhere, the butt door is like a faucet that can’t be turned off, walk a few steps Jump up. The hero can't stand Sanpaoxi, the team can't lead it, and it can't walk a few miles in a day and night. Don't say that people can't stand this, the big mule brought from the north eats this kind of hulled rice. They had diarrhea, and one by one they died.

"Anyway, there is still food here, and most of the time it is because of hunger. The people in Dabie Mountain ran away when they saw the team, and we couldn't buy food with steel bags on our backs. The poor people couldn't open the pot by themselves. We just beat the local tyrants, behold The house is big and the wall is high. Once, at the landlord’s house, we found a grain pile. Before we could do anything, the daughter of the landlord’s house picked up the toilet and splashed feces on the grain... "There is no food to eat, let alone oil and salt. There is a lack of oil and salt, and many soldiers suffer from night blindness. There are many, and there is no rear arrangement. Let alone fighting, it is very difficult for troops to march.”

Talking about the difficulty of marching, Shi Jingban, the former deputy political commissar of the Kunming Military Region who retired in Nanjing, and the deputy brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Third Column said: "In the battle on the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Plain, there are mighty cars, cannons, and carriages. They drove side by side. When we reached the Dabie Mountains, we entered the mountain on a small path, and when we left the mountain, we took the field path. All the vehicles and guns were thrown away, but the problem of marching could not be solved. In the south, it rained non-stop in autumn, and the field ridges seemed to be oiled. One step at a time. The warriors have even "normalized" their falling postures. They all swipe, legs apart, and ride on the field ridge. This is called "horse riding". Many people's buttocks are swollen.

"When the army asked for directions, the fellow said that it was ten miles away, but the troops walked all night and did not reach it. After asking again, it turned out that it was a straight line distance. The mountain road is winding, uphill and downhill, and it is actually more than forty miles. There is a village marked on the map. , decided to camp there. When I arrived, I saw that there were only three or two families, not to mention a large army, not even a squad. The army was tired all day, so they had to sleep in the wild at night, no matter the wind or rain. The most terrible thing The most common is the poisonous snake in the south, which can't be seen hidden in the bushes and trees by the roadside. It doesn't know when it will spring up suddenly, and it can kill a person with a single bite, which makes people worry all day long.

"The cloth shoes brought from the north couldn't stand the blisters, and the tops rotted within a few days, so we had to wear straw sandals. People in the north didn't wear straw sandals, and their feet were covered with pus and blood. They stuck together when they slept at night. I can't even take it off; if I pull hard, the straw sandals become 'leather shoes', tearing off a layer of bloody flesh. Once, we marched for eighteen consecutive days to contain the enemy, and we walked in mud and blood like this It came out. A full eighteen days! Those who can keep up with the team and don't wander off are great heroes!"

When the old man Shi Jingban spoke up to this point, his eyes became moist. Rice, path, and straw sandals—a tragic and arduous epic. The army is like this, and the government is no exception.One day, the Yesi ran out of food, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Zhang Jichun, and Li Da hadn't got their lunch yet.The guard was cruel, and took out five treasured northern jujubes from his pocket, and presented them to the chief.Liu, Deng, Zhang, and Li stared at the five jujubes with seven eyes, pushed them back and forth, and finally divided them equally. Each of them took one as lunch, and the remaining one must be eaten by the guards.The guard couldn't help it, he put the jujube in his mouth in front of the chief, spit it into his hand when he went out, wiped it with his sleeve and put it in his pocket-it was given to him by his fiancée when he crossed the Yellow River, it was a souvenir.

Marching, walking, falling, and falling are also equal.Marching all day and night, Liu Bocheng rode on the horse.The guard heard a noise as he was walking, and when he looked back, he was terrified—both Liu Bocheng and the horse were gone.He hurried down the ravine in the dark, crying and shouting, and saw that the horse was broken, but Liu Bocheng was sitting on the thick rotten leaves and dead branches, with no injuries to his muscles and bones, and smiled to comfort the guards: "Don't panic, don't panic." It's about Mo. If you have red dates, I can still eat a few." Later, there was no horse to ride, and Liu Bocheng still fell a lot of "horse riding falls".People in their fifties feel distressed when they see it.

There are many mosquitoes in the south, and the army has no mosquito nets. Many people have swaying, high fever, and no medicine to treat them, so they just stand still and let the torture of the disease.Wang Chongle, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 9th Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 1st Column, 1st Brigade, and 2nd Regiment, was a native of Qingfeng County in northern Henan. He followed the troops across the Yellow River into the Dabie Mountains, and then crossed the Yangtze River into Tibet. Cang Cang returned to his hometown in Henan.When the author interviewed him, he smoked "Golden Leaf" brand cigarettes and said: "When I was young, I was thin and thin. I never got sick. I didn't know what medicine was like. But after entering the Dabie Mountains, I didn't escape. In the past, let a little mosquito toss miserably, get a fever and get a mouthful of blisters, get cold and get into the haystack and it can shake the haystack. Li Bin, the political commissar of the regiment, said it was a trick and asked me to eat "baicao pills". I ate it, but my whole body became hot, and when I hiccupped, I smelled foul. I was so angry that I scolded my mother. When I asked about it, they told me, what kind of herbal pill? It’s sheep dung! She also said that sheep eat herbal medicine, and all herbal medicine is medicine. , this recipe can cure all kinds of diseases. The more I listened, the more I thought about it, the more disgusting I became, and I swore that I would not take it if I died of illness. Later, I captured Lijiaji and got some quinine, so I survived by luck. But the number of people who died of illness is not a small number Do the math, when we entered the Dabie Mountains, we had a whole battalion of Qingfeng people, and when we left the Dabie Mountains, there were only twelve left." In addition to wobbling and diarrhea, scabies is also a serious threat to the army.The weather in the south is humid, coupled with marching and fighting day and night, crawling in mud, rolling in water, sleeping in the wilderness, when the body is not dry, let alone hygienic conditions, many people contracted terrible scabies. From the head of the 15th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 2nd Column to the trumpeter, almost everyone did not escape the torture of scabies.At night, it was so itchy that I couldn’t fall asleep. During the day, I marched with my legs bent, scratched three times with each step, and squeaked like a group of monkeys.How does this team lead?Huang Jiajing, the head of the regiment, heard that there was a hot spring near the mall called "Tangquan Pool". The spring water had a high sulfur content and could cure scabies. Two companies of the enemy security regiment are stationed on the hill to the north of "Tangquan Pool", and they usually forcefully collect taxes from businessmen.At dawn that day, the Fifteenth Regiment launched a surprise attack.The assault horn, rifles, and machine guns sounded together, and the soldiers rushed up with bayonets in their hands.The enemy didn't know the true intention of the People's Liberation Army, and thought they were here to rob taxes, so they hurriedly carried the cash box and withdrew to the mall. The 15th regiment occupied the commanding heights, and the three battalions of the whole regiment took turns to cover, and the others jumped into the hot spring when they were naked.In one day, each person washed two or three times on average.As the sun set, the "battle" was over, and we withdrew from the "Tangquan Pool", walking briskly and looking like a human being.Now in the mall, the elderly still remember that Liu Deng's 15th regiment fought a "bathroom battle" here. Although the hardship and harshness of the natural conditions are unimaginable to ordinary people, they can still be overcome and endured; the mental torment and pain are hard to heal.Zhang Shaoji, the former deputy head of the teaching group of the Second Column, said: "I belonged to the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. Zhang Guotao was ordered to cross the snow-capped mountains twice and the grassland three times; and I was assigned to the West Route Army to cross the Qilian Mountains and the Great Gobi. What a pain." Have you ever eaten? The Red Army and the Eighth Route Army came out of suffering. But after entering the Dabie Mountains, I felt that the days were more bitter than the Long March, several times more. That kind of suffering... How can I describe it to you? It is not only physical, The suffering in life is more spiritual and spiritual.” The author met Zhang Shaoji at the Military Hospital of Henan Province.The old man had a heart attack and was rescued. I heard that during the interview with Liu Deng Dajun, he didn’t eat any food and refused to let him go: “I’m still breathing, let’s say a few more words! When I close my eyes, I want to say I can't even say it." When talking about Liu Bocheng, the old man burst into tears, like a child who lost his father; when talking about the life in the Dabie Mountains, the old man talked endlessly, even forgetting the doctor's order, and just grabbed a cigarette and smoked it. "After entering the Dabie Mountains, I had no food to eat, no clothes to wear, hunger, diarrhea, sores and pus, diarrhea... these are not hard. The most painful thing is to leave the rear base all of a sudden, become a No one to rely on, like a six-month-old baby who has been weaned and died of his own mother, leaving him alone. Fighting in Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu, carefree and carefree, you just go ahead, anyway, someone is injured. If you die, someone will be buried. After a few days of hard work, after a victory, you can eat all the pork stewed vermicelli, forget all the hardships and tiredness. But in the Dabie Mountains, you don’t even think about having such a day. "It's not that the people in the Dabie Mountains are not good, but that the Kuomintang is too bad and we ourselves are too weak. I am from the Dabie Mountains, from Hong'an. I know the situation there. The Red Army and the New Fourth Army come in and out three times. When we leave, the people will suffer. The Kuomintang was burned and killed, white horror! The thatched grass in the Dabie Mountains was overfired, and the stones were used by knives. Every family would die three or five members, and even ransacked the entire family! He told us that he would never leave again, who would believe you? You said the words, but the feet still grew on your body. Even if he wanted to treat you well in his heart, he had to avoid you, fearing that he would be killed again. Therefore, the common people ran away as soon as they saw us, and whole villages ran into the mountains. It was difficult to find someone to ask directions, let alone carry a stretcher. "Since the Northern Expedition, the Guangxi troops of the Kuomintang have been stationed here and have operated for more than 20 years. They have established the Baojia Joint Defense, the 'Five Family Lianzao' and the secret service organizations, militias, and small security teams. Be strict. The Guangxi troops go up to the regiment commander, down to the company platoon leader, and even the veterans marry local wives. Three aunts and six aunts, relatives and relatives, you can't tell who is good and who is bad .Looking at a ten-year-old kid herding cows, it's so cute, he can throw you a grenade if you can't stop him. "At that time we had a saying, 'Don't be afraid of the Kuomintang, be afraid of the Xiaobao Squad'. The Xiaobao Squad was an armed force of landlords, including bandits, ruffians, hooligans, traitors from the Red Army period, and everything else. They also knew guerrilla tactics. , The whole set of "the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy stays and disturbs, the enemy is tired and fights, and the enemy retreats and chases" has been applied to us. When the troops marched, they would fire a burst of black guns on any hill. When camping, they touched The sentry posts block you in the village in rows. Even more wounded and sick are killed by them. When you go after them, they will be familiar with the situation and run away without a trace. We did not eat less Their loss. Think about it, opening up a base area in this area, with no one to rely on, do you look like a motherless child? Can the fighting mood of the troops not be affected? Alas, other sufferings can be endured, only this kind of suffering can What a pain! "Of course, most of the people are still good, and their hearts are still toward us. But that kind of good deeds also make you feel uncomfortable. Once we asked a fellow to borrow something with good words, but he not only refused to borrow, but also viciously Noisy and scolding, he almost beat us out. Afterwards, he quietly delivered the things again, saying that the quarreling and scolding was for the neighbors and white dogs. Even sitting, we must destroy his nine clans. Another time, we wanted to find a guide, no matter how much money we gave, fellow villagers would not go. The last fellow made us beg for a hurry, so they yelled: "If you want to lead the way, you tie me up." Get up and grab him!' the fellow shouted, and kept winking at us, telling us to tie him up. We understand what he means, and he did it for others to see because he was afraid of causing death." On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Caiqian, the commander of the Independent Brigade, stayed in a farmhouse. The landlord, mother and son looked ugly and indifferent.The old lady said: "I'm just afraid! Every August 15th, I'm afraid. The first time the Red Army left here was the Mid-Autumn Festival; the second time the New Fourth Army left was also the Mid-Autumn Festival; once you left... alas!" Zhang Caiqian was silent.He belonged to the Fifth Division of the former New Fourth Army, and he left the Dabie Mountains when the Central Plains broke through last year.He knew that after the troops withdrew, the common people were miserable.He knows that the Kuomintang landlords here are vicious and vicious, and he still goes around threatening: "When the Communist Party comes, you will have three days of red; when the Communist Party leaves, I will also have three days of black!" He knows what the "three days of black" means to the people of Dabie Mountains. wearing something.In Yuanhe Township not far from here, the Home Returning Mission crushed four family members of the Red Army to death with boulders, and burned to death more than 30 Communist Party members with red-hot shovels... Therefore, he knew better at this moment. Here, any words are pale, and actions must be taken! Yet how difficult it is to act! Strong homesickness and nostalgia and dissatisfaction with reality spread like a disease, which led to the decline of the will to fight, the relaxation of discipline in the troops, and the phenomenon of beating fellow villagers, catching guides, pulling buffaloes, catching chickens, grabbing things, and even molesting women. The number of non-combat attrition in the army is increasing rapidly. In addition to the wounded and sick, more desertions.At the beginning, they ran alone and two people, and left a note before leaving: "I went back to fight the Kuomintang reactionaries." "I promise to continue the revolution after I go back, and promise to kill more enemies. I will kill one of the ten who arrive here!" " I promise not to rebel, please organize to trust me.” Later, they ran in whole squads and became deserters collectively. Gradually, the singing of "The Dabie Mountain is like a sword, piercing straight into Chiang Kai-shek's heart" became less and less, and then it was almost inaudible. On September 5, Liu Bocheng set up a pocket formation in the Shuanglunhe area of ​​Shangcheng, encircling and annihilating the enemy's 58th Division with the main force of the first and second columns and the 16th Brigade of the sixth column.Due to the lack of combat experience in mountains and paddy fields for the first time in the Dabie Mountains, it was difficult to transfer food, grass and wounded; in addition, individual troops were slow to move and failed to divide the encirclement in time. The battle lasted for three days, and most of the 58th Division finally escaped. On September 17, the main force of the first, second, and third columns and the 16th brigade of the sixth column besieged the 58th Division again in the Yuzidian, Suxianshi, and Zhongpu areas of the mall.After three full days of fighting on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, only one regiment was wiped out in the Zhongpu area. On September 24, the 16th Brigade of the 1st and 2nd Columns and the 6th Column set up Fuguangshan to attack the 58th Division three times.The enemy's 85th Division quickly sent aid from Guangshan and Huangchuan to the east.In this battle, although the enemy was repelled and aided, it still failed to solve the 58th Division. Three battles were fought in January 30th, and the battles were not ideal.Objectively speaking, although these three battles were not fought well, they mobilized a large number of enemy northern aid, which enabled our southward troops to quickly deploy and reach the banks of the Yangtze River, creating conditions for the realization of the overall strategy.But from a subjective analysis, it is not difficult to see the serious crisis faced by the troops. At the "No Handshake" meeting held on September 27, unavoidable issues were placed before the commanders of more than 20 columns and brigades of the Field Army: the harsh environment, the severe situation, lax discipline, right-leaning conservatives, and wavering morale , Can the army stand firm in the Dabie Mountains? Deng Xiaoping did not speak for several minutes.His stern gaze flashed across the faces of each commander, piercing everyone's heart like a long-lasting silent lightning.Someone coughed, and soon fell silent again.The ancestral hall, which was filled with smoke by the "cannon barrels" just now, is much fresher. Finally, Deng Xiaoping spoke: "Comrades, we have emphasized many times in the past about the strategic tasks we have carried out. This is that we have reached the Dabie Mountains, and the next step is to establish the Dabie Mountains base area unswervingly and without hesitation. We cannot There must be no doubt or wavering at all! All of you present here are senior cadres, and senior cadres should lead by example in times of difficulty, encourage the troops to bravely overcome difficulties and eliminate the enemy. Otherwise, you, a senior cadre, will Where? Of course, we do not deny the difficulties, but what is more important is that we must strengthen our fighting spirit, oppose rightist ideology, and overcome bad tendencies such as lax discipline. For all these, our leading cadres must first take the lead. Please think about it, this head Have you brought it well? If this problem is not resolved, we will be defeated for thousands of miles, so we have to retreat to the north of the Yellow River and return the victory we have won to Chiang Kai-shek." Liu Bocheng stood up slowly, his only eye protruding from bloodshot eyes: "The political commissar said that this is a 'no handshake' meeting. Let me say, this is also a 'egg safe' meeting. Some of our cadres Lack of guts, no eggs, not manly. What to do? Just have a meeting and get you a pair!" Liu Bocheng is a well-known Confucian general, gentle and elegant, but once he is angry and speaks foul language, it is very shocking.He went on to say: "Some comrades looked left and right during the battle, worried and acted slowly, and missed several good opportunities to wipe out the enemy. This is not allowed!" Deng Xiaoping lit a cigarette: "Like a woman with small feet, swaying three steps at a time." "War is like a woman with small feet, where did your eggs go?" Liu Bocheng wrote a big "Yong" character in the air with his hand, and then said, "This brave word "Yong" means that there is a word "male" at the beginning of the character. The most glorious corolla. In other words, "courage" is a man's business. Without a corolla, it's like a man without eggs, what is he called "courage"?... For a month, I just paid a price and missed a few meals After walking for a few days, it seemed that the revolution had no future. When we encountered a little difficulty, we doubted whether we could persevere in the Dabie Mountains. These comrades were short-sighted, and they didn’t even think about it. If I bite your skin a little bit, what's the fuss about? "When we marched into the Dabie Mountains, Chiang Kai-shek showed a feeling of failure, but why did we also show a feeling of failure? It's like two people fighting, you say you failed, and he said he failed, so the ghost won? Some comrades said , would rather go north for thousands of miles than go south for a brick. You want to go north because you want to go back and see your home and meet your wife and baby. Let me tell you, now your home is settled and your baby has eaten Fat, they can't hear the sound of the planes and cannons. If we don't come out, we are still fighting in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, fighting in your Southern Hebei Daming and Nangong, and fighting the enemy Niu Dajiao at your door, what will it be like? The pots, pots, grain cattle, wives and children will all be beaten to pieces! "Comrades, when we Communists joined the party, we vowed to overthrow imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, and to be loyal to the party and the people forever. Now we are truly destroying their representative—the counter-revolutionary Chiang Kai-shek. Shaking!" Liu Bocheng stopped abruptly, losing control of his emotions in a rare way, and slammed his fist on the table: "Now, we are going to weigh you, Bolshevik, whether you are up to the scale! We just want to line up to see if you are a man!" These words hit the hearts of all the senior commanders of the Field Army. Deng Xiaoping handed the water cup to Liu Bocheng, and continued a cigarette himself: "The establishment of the Dabie Mountain base area is a strategic policy formulated by Chairman Mao, and it is our unswerving political task. To establish a liberated area, we must win battles and annihilate the enemy, and we must mobilize the masses to implement Land reform. The rolling of these two wheels can promote history! The driving force behind the rolling of these two wheels is to increase confidence and strengthen fighting spirit! The song we made up is very good, 'The Dabie Mountains are like a sword, straight to the In Chiang Kai-shek's heart'. As long as these two wheels roll up, Chiang Kai-shek can be completely crushed!" "I completely agree with what Political Commissar Deng said." Liu Bocheng stood up again, "But what about that song? How many people can still sing it now? I suggest that everyone here should take the lead in singing this song again , sing all over the Dabie Mountains!" There was rumbling thunder outside the ancestral hall, and a storm was about to come. The moon is out.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. A round of golden full moon is reflected in the ponds and paddy fields between the villages near Hu Shanzhai; Melting the moonlight are bonfires all over the place, the sparkling flames are overflowing, shaking like countless golden silks. Accompanied by the flowing bonfire, the singing dances in the mountains.On this moonlit Mid-Autumn Festival night, the soldiers of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Field Army far away from their hometown swept away the haze of the past and celebrated the reunion festival.There are no moon cakes, no melons and fruits, they drink bowls of mountain springs full of moonlight; no paper, no blackboard, they use autumn leaves to decorate the borrowed door panels, red and green are pasted all over Liu Deng's speech summary, Zhang Jichun He wrote short essays such as "Dabie Mountain Custom Poems", "How to Beat Rice", "Why Tung Oil Can't Be Eaten", as well as letters of determination and proposals written by the soldiers themselves. Under the sky with the full moon hanging high, the commanders and fighters performed their own programs. Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping walked from one campfire to another.Looking at the bright moon like a jade plate, Liu Bocheng sighed sadly: "I think of an ancient poem, but unfortunately I forgot who wrote it." Deng Xiaoping was very interested: "Which sentence?" "Who is passionate like the moon in Nanshan, especially when the clouds bloom." "Oh... Maybe it's Lu You's?" "Yes, it belongs to Lu Fangweng." "I also think of a phrase-'A round of autumn shadows turns into gold waves, and the flying mirror is re-sharpened'." "I know this, it's Xin Qiji's "Tai Chang Yin"." "I think the combination of these two sentences does not rhyme, but it has a different meaning. You listen, 'Amorous who is like the moon in the South Mountain, especially when the clouds bloom', 'A round of autumn shadows turns to golden waves, and the flying mirror grinds again'. Does this look like a recent change in the force?" "Specially when the clouds opened, and the flying mirror was polished again... Like, very similar. It seems that writing poems is creation, and when you weave other poems together, it is also creation with originality and ingenuity." "The copyright belongs to Liu Deng." A white figure swayed in the distance. Liu Bocheng asked, "Who is that?" "Looks like a sentinel." "It's white, what kind of clothes is he wearing?" "I can't see clearly. The troops went south and only brought single clothes. He probably wore something." "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night wind is blowing. It's hard to stand guard at this time." "The seasons are not forgiving, and it is urgent to solve the problem of winter clothing for the troops." Liu Deng said, walking towards "White Shadow".The moonlight was hazy, and his face could not be seen clearly.The white thing turned out to be a quilt, which was draped over the body by the sentinel. Liu Bocheng: "Is it cold?" "No..." Seeing that Liu Bocheng was only wearing a single shirt, the sentry took off the quilt embarrassingly. "The night wind in the mountain area is very strong. It would be a lie to say that it is not cold. But you are wearing a white quilt to expose the target." Deng Xiaoping helped the sentinel fold the quilt and said: "You can move around more and use your own heat to resist the severe cold. The People's Liberation Army must endure hardship naturally. Which unit do you belong to?" "The third company of the guard regiment." "Who else is in the family?" "Only a seventy-year-old mother." "Mid-Autumn Festival is originally a festival of reunion, and her old man will miss you." The sentinel looked at Yuanyue: "When the whole country is liberated, I will serve her well." "Very well, that's how it should be. It's not easy for a mother to bring up a child. It took a lot of hard work when I was young, and I have to worry about it when I grow up. When you go back in the future, thank her for me and the political commissar." The Sentinel's eyes were moist. A soldier ran over: "Commander, political commissar, please help me solve a problem." Liu Bocheng looked at the sturdy little soldier: "Is it serious?" "Anyway, anyway, I can't solve it myself." The soldier kicked the stones on the ground and pointed at the sentry. "He is our deputy company commander. He ordered to stand guard for me..." Liu Bocheng looked very interested: "Do you want me to give him an order?" "Anyway, you can use a word. You don't know, our deputy company commander..." "Niu Yuanping!" shouted the deputy company commander standing guard. "Anyway, you have to tell the truth in front of the chief. You are really playing tricks with your illness." "Anyway, anyway, you know anyway. Let the head judge and judge, and it only happens once a few days. When it doesn't happen, is it like a good person?" Liu Bocheng laughed as he listened: "Oh, it's hard to settle this lawsuit. Comrade deputy company commander, what's your name?" "Zhao Guiliang." "Zhao Guiliang, you did the right thing. Niu Yuanping, listen to the deputy company commander, you go to the theater with us." Zhao Guiliang was very proud, and gave Niu Yuanping another order: "Lead the chief quickly." "Comrade Zhao Guiliang," Deng Xiaoping shook off the quilt, and put the grass-gray quilt on Zhao Guiliang's body, "throwing it like this can keep you warm and hide you." "Political commissar, I... am not cold." "Wear it, this is my order. Take care of your body too." Niu Yuanping took care of Liu Deng and walked towards the campfire along the field path... Before dawn, the field division headquarters held a combat meeting. Liu Bocheng stretched two fingers apart, and drew a circle on the map with Hu Shanzhai as the center. The heads of each column immediately understood that Liu Bocheng was going to use his "compass method". Just now, Deng Xiaoping has already introduced the situation: the troops must take major actions. Over the past month, the "Sparrow" units released on the southern front have made rapid progress, and good news has continued to come.So far, they have liberated 23 counties, wiped out more than 7,000 enemy regular troops and security teams, and successively established democratic regimes in 17 counties in eastern Hubei, southern Henan, and western Anhui.In view of the fact that the 58th Division was besieged three times in a row in the Guang and Shang areas, the enemy judged that Liu Deng's main force and headquarters were at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains.So Chiang Kai-shek reprimanded Gu Zhutong for "spreading too much net and having too many loopholes", and at the same time transferred from eastern Hubei to reorganize the 7th and 40th divisions, and from western Anhui to reorganize the 48th and 46th divisions. Together with the reorganized 85th, 58th, and 52nd divisions that were originally in the area north of the Dabie Mountains, they encircled the Guangshan and Xinxian areas with all their strength.In Chiang Kai-shek's words, "We must change our tactics, jointly attack the Communist Party's head office, attract scattered enemies to rescue them, gather them in northern Hubei and wipe them out." The situation is mixed: the joy mobilizes the enemy and enables our army to deploy strategically; the worry means that the enemy army is coming fiercely like a whirlwind, and the head office of our army is already in the center of the storm. Liu Bocheng remained calm, with two fingers one left and one right, and neatly completed the compasses map assignment.He said: "Chiang Kai-shek's consistent philosophy is to respond to all changes without change, and his military theory is always the so-called compasses strategy of Napoleon, Hitler, and Okamura Neiji. , looks menacing, in fact, before its compass lines are closed, there is a large gap at the junction of the comb and the comb, which creates conditions for us to maneuver in great strides." To deal with the enemy's encirclement, Liu Bocheng has a unique skill, which is called "when the enemy enters, we enter".Specifically, it is to recognize the enemy's "compasses tactics", grasp the "line of change of interests" when the encirclement is not fully closed, or concentrate forces to wipe out the weaker part of the enemy; Surrounded by gaps, jump to the outer line, move around on the wide battlefield behind the enemy, mobilize the enemy, create fighters, and annihilate them one by one.In this way, it can not only smash the enemy's "encirclement and suppression", but also protect the lives and property of the people in the enemy-occupied areas; at the same time, in the case of extremely difficult material conditions in the base areas, going deep into the enemy's rear to solve the supply and supplement of the troops can be described as "killing three birds with one stone".Mao Zedong, who created the sixteen-character tactic of "the enemy advances and we retreat", once praised: "Liu Bocheng, your 'enemy advances and we advance' is good, the Japanese can't do anything." Liu Bocheng asked Li Da: "Chief of Staff, how long is it expected that the enemy will all close?" Li Da said: "According to reconnaissance and intelligence analysis, it will take another two days." Liu Bocheng: "Chairman Jiang is kind enough to give us two days' grace. The interests change within two days. We must see the fire and move to the outer wing without hesitation." Li Da walked up to the map, pointed to the "line of change of interests" drawn by Liu Bocheng and announced: "The enemy deploys two and a half brigades of the Seventh and Forty Divisions from Macheng to Shawo, and the forty-eighth and fifty-eighth divisions. Assemble the shopping center, gather the main forces of the 85th and 52nd divisions on the front line of Huangchuan and Luoshan, and it is estimated that the deployment can be completed within two days. In order to mobilize the enemy, remove the winter clothes, and wipe out the weak enemy, our army is deployed as follows: 1. The main force of the second column waits for the enemy's 7th and 40th divisions to enter the area between Macheng and Shawo, and then leaves the Huang'an and Macheng areas in the south; Look for opportunities to annihilate small groups of enemies, and choose the route yourself; the Sixth Column should not fight the enemy's Seventh and Forty Divisions head-on, but mainly attack the enemy's supplies, and then we should use the opportunity to annihilate the enemy in Macheng." Liu Bocheng asked: "Do you have any additional comments or questions?" Careful Du Yide proposed: "When the troops are dispatched, which part will the wild division follow?" Liu Bocheng said: "Follow the first and second verticals, and you will go south together. Chiang Kai-shek went to the north of Dabie Mountain, and Liu Bocheng went to the south of Dabie Mountain. Chen Xilian, the third vertical went east to the west of Anhui ,what's your plan?" "If the enemy continues to move westward, and the western Anhui is empty, can I fight a bigger battle?" "That's a good question." Liu Bocheng raised his magnifying glass, inspected the deployment of the enemy troops in western Anhui on the map, and said, "Knowing the situation of the troops and solving Qizheng is just a general way to win. In fact, the more important thing is We must avoid the reality and attack the emptiness, and firmly grasp the link between the emptiness and the reality. If the western Anhui is further empty, the three verticals can let go and wipe out the enemy, but we must pay attention to avoiding the main force of the Guangxi faction and attacking the 88th Division. This is Sun Tzu As the saying goes, "A soldier's addition is like throwing an egg with a stone, the false and the real." The same is true for other verticals. During the maneuver, we must firmly grasp the virtual and the real. , In fact, it is false, correctly choose the combat target, combat direction and combat action. If you don’t fight, you will be done, and you will win if you fight.” Deng Xiaoping lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke: "Battles that have not been fought well have become a thing of the past, and we will not mention them any more. From now on, we must win a few big victories. Only in this way can we stand firm in the Dabie Mountains. Only then can the masses be mobilized.” "The political commissar is right. Otherwise..." Liu Bocheng paused and said, "Otherwise, the army will run around every day, and the devil will believe you!" The cold dew is coming.The setting sun burned out the last fire, quietly fell to the ground, splashing the sky full of rays of light.The sky is always dark, and a solitary crescent moon shows the abruptness and deep silence of the night. In the darkness, a figure left the road.He jumped up the hill, found a big tree, clasped his hands together, kicked his feet, climbed to the tree several feet high in the blink of an eye, raised the binoculars... He is Zhao Lantian, commander of the seventh brigade of the third column. After jumping out of the enemy's encirclement, the third column took advantage of the void and advanced into the west of Anhui, and the troops were divided into groups to find and wipe out the enemy's 88th division.During the deployment, Chen Xilian especially emphasized: "The commanders of each department must flexibly capture fighters and coordinate actively when performing tasks. As long as they can catch the enemy, they can encircle and annihilate them without asking for instructions." Zhao Lantian, who is not tall, has long legs, and every time he fights, he clamors to take the lead.This time with the "Shangfang Sword", he was so excited that he said to Zhou Wei, the political commissar of the brigade, "You pull the directly subordinate team behind, and I will take the reconnaissance company to the front." 路上，遇到第二十团团长左魁元。左魁元报告：“刚刚撵上八十八师的尾巴，还没怎么交火，龟儿比兔子逃得还快，一下子没影儿了。” “赶快追！” “部队还没吃饭呢。” “还吃什么饭！追！” 望远镜里出现影影绰绰的茅屋，渐渐多了，灰糊糊一片；有了光亮，一点一点，骤然陡增，灯火遍地…… 张家店。 “娘的，这回可抓住你啦！”赵兰田惊喜。 位于霍山至六安公路旁的张家店是一个有着几百户人家和商店的集镇，四周广布池塘、水沟、稻田，再往外则横亘着一些长满松树的山冈。 “旅长，我们抓到一个俘虏！”黑暗中，侦察员跑上山头，低低的声音中透着兴奋。 俘虏的口供证实了赵兰田的判断，敌第八十八师师部及第六十二旅全部正在张家店宿营，准备明天一早向北撤退，欲与整编第四十六师会合。第八十八师是赵兰田的老对手了。年初二出陇海路时，第三纵队就和第八十八师交过手，在山东鱼台外围吃掉它一个半旅。经过补充整训，第八十八师这次又被调到大别山，一色美式装备，狂得孤军深入，欲寻刘邓主力决战，可刚一接触又想起旧伤，心有余悸，匆忙后缩，躲进了孤立无援的张家店。 歼敌的时机再好不过了，然而赵兰田身边仅有一个团外带一个侦察连，兵单力薄，难以对付整旅的敌人。他苦思冥想，那张还留着孩子气的脸上怎么也聚不起皱纹，只有两条舒眉皱得一高一低，就像他此刻的心境——一则以喜，一则以忧。 有人报：“旅长，童旅长来了！” “来得正好呀！”赵兰田纵身跃下山坡，握住第九旅旅长童国贵的手。原来，第九旅的前卫营也抓到一个俘虏，获得了张家店的敌情。童国贵也正是为了这事来找赵兰田。 “老童，我手上只有一个二十团，其他团都调去阻击援敌了。” “我现在身边也只有一个二十六团。” “人是少了点，可总比我唱独角戏强呀。不如这样，你到南面和西面，我带二十团绕到东面和北面，先把敌人围起来再说。” “行！陈司令有话，让咱们机断行事。不过，得设法跟纵队和八旅联系上。不能让龟儿子八十八师跑掉！” 夜，黑漆漆的。 电台紧急寻呼；部队频频调动；电话通信快速沟通…… 敌人尚在熟睡中。赵兰田将指挥所设在张家店北侧的山头上，他借着月光看了一下手表，时针指向三时零五分。他找了块大石头坐下，点了支烟，美美地吸了一口。 拂晓时分，敌人醒了，又陷入噩梦。 一场突围与反突围的恶战开始了。 起初，一个连一个排的敌人试探性地四处出击。 后来，整营整团的敌人发起集团冲锋，将重点压向张家店东北的295高地。 第二十团的阵地陷入一片火海。 电台终于接通，派去送信的通信员也赶了回来。最新态势：纵队正在向张家店靠拢；郑国仲副司令员带着马忠全的第八旅已经赶到张家店东南一线；先期到达槐树冈地区的第二十一团构筑了坚固的防线，以阻敌第四十六师的增援……一场分头行动、机断行事的围歼战协调得如此默契，如同预先布局一般。能否吃掉敌第八十八师，全局系于一发，就看第二十团能否顶住了。 赵兰田操起电话：“左魁元吗？全局命运就系于二十团了！如果你们顶不住，放开口子，这个战役就被你们断送了！” 左魁元：“请旅长放心！只要我左魁元还有口气，就不会让一个敌人活着上来！” “告诉你，我可是头一次挨刘司令员的骂。'勇'字怎么写？'男'字头上一顶花冠，男子汉要有卵子！” 第二十团的热血男儿面对敌人一次比一次疯狂的反扑，丝毫没有畏惧，以一个团的兵力阻击着数倍的敌人。 从拂晓到黄昏，部队没能吃饭，赵兰田也滴水未沾。炮火渐渐稀疏了，警卫员趁着战斗间隙送上来一碗南瓜。 赵兰田正俯身侧耳，好像在捕捉什么，见警卫员打断了他，眼睛一瞪：“扯淡！现在不是吃饭的时候！” 赵兰田不理警卫员，干脆趴下，把耳朵贴在草地上。突然他站起身，狠狠地瞪着莫名其妙的警卫员：“傻愣着干什么？快去通知侦察连，增援三营阵地！” so close!三营阵地上的弹药打光了，战士们正在用石头砸敌人。 侦察连奉命及时赶到，强大的火力立即泼洒出去，打退了敌人最猛烈的一次进攻。 战斗整整打了一白天。 夜再一次降临，战场暂时平息下来。 张家店南面是韩家畈，靠山坡聚集着一些人。纵队副司令员郑国仲正向旅团指挥员们作最后的部署：“敌桂系主力四十师正集结三个团的兵力，由六安向南增援。槐树冈一带虽有我二十一团，但很难阻滞敌人的强大集团。目前，该敌已窜抵中子店，距张家店不到四十里，如果再放一下，很快就会到我们的脚下。因此，我们最迟明天黄昏以前彻底解决战斗，否则就会骑虎难下。” 郑国仲给赵兰田、马忠全、童国贵下达命令：“七旅十九团已经赶到，正好加强二十团现有阵地。赵兰田，你的担子不轻，无论如何要掐住敌人的脖子，不惜一切代价阻敌北窜。马旅负责东面的主攻任务，务必在拂晓前扫清敌人全部外围支点，尔后对村落实行全面突击。童国贵，你们九旅由西、南两面围攻，网要收得紧紧的，争取尽快楔入张家店，速战速决。纵队的全部火炮配属给你，要打得狠，打得准，以最猛烈的炮火向镇中心发射。” 总攻开始。带着哨音的炮弹呼啸着，成片成片地落入猥集在张家店的敌群中。弹片横飞，血肉横飞。 一发炮弹落在敌第八十八师副师长张世光的指挥所，敌人乱作一团。四面八方的部队潮水般向镇中心涌去。 炮声、枪声、杀声、喊叫声沸沸扬扬，平地卷起一阵阵巨浪狂潮。敌人绝望了，开始整营整营地放下武器。 预计黄昏结束的战斗，结果总共打了半宿，至拂晓就结束了。 敌第一八四团二营营长宋万铭缴枪后，又掏出个指南针：“……把这东西交给你们。我这一下算彻底放下武器了。你看，我这个营是站着队缴枪的。四、五、六连，连长都一个不缺。” 他的五连长周天爵接道：“我把驳壳枪往外这么一扔；叫弟兄们站个队，把枪也往院里这么一扔，就算交代公事了……妈的，我们指挥官指挥他妈个屁！队伍已经带过张家店八里地了，又叫转回来。谁不知道解放军一天一夜走一百八十里，跑都跑不赢，还叫转回来。我打个屁！”这个五连长特能说，战士们听得有趣，就让他说下去，“唉，如今兵也不是个兵，官也不是个官。壮丁抓来就打仗——谁他妈不是爹娘生父母养的，谁他妈不怕呀？！鱼台那回就打怕了。你们消灭台湾兵（按：指陈颐鼎的第七十师），我知道；消灭六十六师，我也知道。光他妈的知道你们消灭我们，没见过我们消灭你们。同志，莫见怪，我这张嘴骂人骂惯了，我是说他妈的这仗有个啥打头？！” 敌第六十二旅少将副旅长汤家楫也被生擒，他无论见到谁，一律点头哈腰：“本人是汤家楫。惭愧、惭愧……” 他也有话要说：“张世光这小子真不是东西，对我说要和旅长巡视阵地，叫我指挥。可他们却先溜了！” 张家店战役共计毙伤、俘虏敌人四千余，取得了进入大别山后，刘邓大军在无后方依托条件下作战的第一个重大胜利。 与此同时，南下黄安、麻城的第一纵队与第二纵队一部，十月八日于歧亭、柳子港地区歼敌第五十六师新十七旅直属部队及第一、二团大部。十月十日，第一纵队攻克黄陂以东之李家集，歼敌第五十二师一个营。 连续三天在三个不同地区打了三个胜仗，每一仗都掌握在刘伯承事先划定的利害变换线上。 “不说这一天了，不说这件事了。我……实在对不起，我说不下去……”当年野战军政治部保卫科科长，白发苍苍的张之轩老人先是平静地叙述着，当讲到一九四七年十月十三日那一天时，一下子泪水纵横，再后来竟忍不住放声痛哭。 原第二纵队第五旅后勤处处长黄开群八十岁了，精神矍铄，嗓门高，底气足。他的一只眼在长征时被打穿了，子弹从眼窝子进去，由太阳穴上穿出——眼珠子没了，太阳穴上又多出一只“眼”。 “这件事，已经过去五十多年了……” 黄开群老人仅存的一只眼睛像放映机的镜头，把那一幕幕往事展现出来—— 一九四七年十月十三日。清晨，黄开群正带着后勤处在总路嘴附近收容部队，组织后勤补给，忽听身后有人喊：“黄开群！” 黄开群回过头，见个子高高的李达朝他走来，脸色很难看。李达说：“邓政委找你！”就这么一句。 李达在前面走得很快，再无话。黄开群在后面紧跟，心里犯嘀咕：邓政委找我干什么？是不是我有什么不对？ 到了邓小平的住处，李达停在门口，说了三个字：“进去吧。” 黄开群的心里打起鼓。 邓小平正借着窗前的亮光缝补自己破旧的军帽。 邓小平抬起头，放下针线：“黄开群，你来啦。坐。” 见邓小平脸上没有笑意，黄开群不好坐：“政委找我有事？” “你在这里住多久了？” “算上今天，是第三天了。” “为什么不住镇子里，住乡下？” “镇子目标大，纪律也不好维持。” “嗯，还不错。”邓小平点了下头，接着问，“那么你知不知道，这几天总路嘴都住了些什么部队？” “开始是六旅，住了一夜；第二天是四旅，也住了一夜；后来是五旅，没住，中午大休息，吃了饭就走了。” “你们五旅有个教导处，他们住哪里？” “镇子里。” “活土匪！”邓小平拍了桌子，“你去街上看看，到处是稻草！这个群众纪律像什么样子？” 黄开群知道，刘邓抓纪律一贯动真格的，在冀鲁豫时曾专门发布过一个命令：凡违犯群众纪律者，连以下人员就地处决，营以上干部交上一级机关法办。这在各野战军中是出了名的。今天听邓小平严厉的口气，八成又要动用“铁腕”了。 “他们还抢了人家的东西，你知不知道？” “抢？……抢什么东西？”黄开群不知所措。 “抢人家的牛，几十头牛！你回去和雷绍康讲，必须查处！” 黄开群终于明白了：“政委，这件事我知道。牛是打小保队时缴获的，是小保队抢的老百姓的牛。” “为什么不还给群众？” “牛太多，不知主人是谁。” “带上一个部队赶起牛，贴上布告，是谁家的谁来认，没人认的分给贫苦人家。这样做有困难吗？” “没有。只是……听说有的牛已经被杀掉吃了。” “乱弹琴！”邓小平拿起一支香烟，还没点燃，又把火柴扔掉了，“吃掉的牛要折成钱，如数还给人家，一分也不能少！不要说一头牛，就是一根草也不能拿，这是我军的纪律！” “是！”黄开群敬礼，准备告辞。 “你回来。”邓小平又叫住他，“上个月我们在小姜湾开的整顿纪律会，有没有向部队传达？” “传达了。” “你给我重述一下内容。” “小姜湾会议上，刘司令员说，'部队纪律这样坏，如不迅速纠正，我们肯定站不住脚'。还有，邓政委您讲的，'部队纪律这样坏，这是我军政治危机的开始，这是给自己挖坟墓'。张际春副政委还宣布，'我们的中心工作是明确建立大别山根据地的思想。全体指战员必须学会克服困难，要严格执行群众纪律，枪打老百姓者枪毙，抢掠民财者枪毙，强奸妇女者枪毙'。” 邓小平：“好，记得就好。回去后，除了把遗留问题处理好，必须告诉部队，若再发生类似问题，我们的纪律绝不停留在口头上！” 当天上午，野战军司令部、政治部派出纪律检查组，由保卫科科长张之轩负责，去总路嘴检查群众纪律。黄开群也回到第五旅，组织教导队给群众还牛，清理街上的稻草。 临近中午，张之轩回来汇报，发现的问题已处理完毕，总共赔偿群众六两黄金。邓小平戴上军帽，说：“我到街上去看一看。” 总路嘴是个大集镇，街上的青石板路已经被扫得干干净净。偶有几片枯叶被风吹落，在地上打着旋儿。国民党军队刚刚撤走，解放军又驻了进来。老百姓两头跑，见队伍就逃，至今仍没有几户回来。空荡荡的镇子里，店铺挂着门板，房舍紧闭大门，街上行人稀少，显得空寂萧条，冷冷清清。 两个担柴的汉子倚在墙角，指着不远处的店铺说着什么。 邓小平想和他们聊聊，刚靠上去，两个汉子便慌乱地担起柴，匆匆离去。邓小平有些奇怪，顺着那两人手指的方向望去—— 一个军人用步枪挑着一匹花布和一捆粉条，腋下夹着一刀白纸和几支毛笔，拐出店铺扬长而去，留下一个背影。 邓小平追了几步没追上，站下来，对张之轩说：“你去调查一下，是怎么回事，他是哪个单位的。” 张之轩调查回来，见刘伯承、李达、张际春都等在邓小平的屋里。邓小平问：“搞清楚了？” 张之轩点点头：“是个副连长，见店铺主人不在，就拿了一匹布和一捆粉条……” “拿？这是抢！”邓小平摔掉香烟，“我们有过规定，抢劫民财者，枪毙！要执行纪律！如果令出不行，说了不算，再发展下去，我们肯定在大别山站不住脚！” 刘伯承来回踱步，问：“他是哪个单位的？” “警卫团的。” “哦……”刘伯承摇摇头，叹道，“灯下黑哟！问题竟发生在我们眼皮底下。李达，际春同志，你们说说。” 李达脸色铁青：“问题发生在我们身边，更应该严肃纪律。” “我同意。”张际春声调不高，却透着沉重，“我们已经三令五申，他还错，这就无法挽回了。” “问题就在这里。”邓小平从口袋里掏出一个烟盒，见是空的，攥成纸团，“部队纪律整顿得如何，首先要看你的直属队，要看你的警卫员。如果这两部分人都管理不好，那么你离坟墓也就不远了。问题既然发生，只好从我们身边开刀了。张之轩同志，通知部队，下午召开公判大会；另外派一部分同志上山，动员群众下山参加。” 张之轩说了“是”，身子却未动。 刘伯承问：“你还有话说？” 张之轩：“那个副连长说，他对不起刘邓首长。中秋节那天，首长还……” 刘伯承想起来了，一惊：“你说他就是……” “三连副连长赵桂良。他还说——” “不要说了，我知道他。”刘伯承缓缓地抓下帽子，眉头紧拧着，接下来的话语调低沉而有些颤抖，“那是一个很不错的副连长啊！懂得关心战士，打摆子了还替战士站岗，打起仗来一定也很勇敢。 “可……他为什么偏偏忘了人民，忘了纪律，忘了自己是一个干部呢？张之轩同志，请你转告赵桂良副连长，对他的处决，我和邓政委都很沉痛。当然，我们也可以手下留情。但是，'三大纪律''八项注意'是毛主席制定的，是我军的建军宗旨，也是我们每个军人执行党的政策最起码的和必须做到的。你对他讲，我刘伯承说了，希望他能理解，老百姓不是命里注定要跟我们走的。如果我们的纪律搞不好，老百姓为什么不可以跟别人走呢？” 邓小平一只手拧着额头，一只手掐着香烟，没有说话。烟，抽了一支又一支，浓重的烟雾弥漫在整个房间里，使所有的人都感受到了一种巨大的、切肤般的痛苦正咀啮着他的心。 禁闭室。桌上放着一碗面条，是首长们让炊事员专门为赵桂良做的。碗盛得满满的，已经没了热气。赵桂良呆呆地望着面碗，一动不动。颌骨上的枪伤结着紫疤，那是日本人留给他的。 “吃些吧。”张之轩劝着，又一次把碗端到他的面前。 赵桂良焦干的嘴唇嚅动着：“组织处理，我没意见。我……该杀。” “还是这几句？你难道……再考虑考虑，时间不多了……真的没有别的话了？哪怕……哪怕对后事有什么要求也可以讲讲呀！”张之轩几乎要哭出来。 赵桂良摇着头：“没有，真的没有。” 良久，张之轩与赵桂良相视无言。突然，赵桂
