Chapter 7 Chapter 6

Spring is here, and there is a sense of spring everywhere. Between the Jianghuai River and the Han River, the mighty People's Liberation Army marching southward has become the most spectacular sight on the land of China in the spring of 1949. The liberated areas to the north of Lingshan and west of Lancun in the outskirts of Qingdao have been connected together.Qingdao has become an isolated island in the true sense, and the slightly more sensitive officers in the 11th appeasement zone all faintly felt the ominous omen that was coming. At this moment, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has entered the Shuangqing Villa in Xiangshan, Beiping.

The morning of March 23. The mighty convoy stopped at Xibaipo, and the entire Party Central Committee was ready to board the car and set off as soon as Chairman Mao gave an order. Zhou Enlai is always so busy. He can be called the busiest person in the entire Party Central Committee. He hurried over and asked Mao Zedong for instructions: "Chairman, get in the car!" Mao Zedong nodded. Accompanied by Zhou Enlai and the staff around him, he stared at the small bungalow where he had lived for ten months, the stone mill in the small courtyard and the pear tree in bloom. He stood silently for a long time, and finally left reluctantly. Come to the American jeep that has been prepared for him.

Goodbye Xibaipo, here is a station in the history of Chinese revolution, this humble small mountain village, where the core of the Communist Party of China once stationed, since then, the wheels of war have turned here, and the track of history has turned here. A great event was born! The Chinese nation will thus walk out of the darkness! While getting into the car, Mao Zedong said humorously to Zhou Enlai and other comrades: "Let's go, let's go to Beijing to catch the exam." Zhou Enlai also said with a loud smile: "We should all pass the exam and not be sent back."

"Yes, we will never be Li Zicheng, we all have to get good grades in the exam." After Mao Zedong finished speaking, he got into the car with confidence. After the Party Central Committee entered Beijing, the first issue to be studied was to fight across the Yangtze River and liberate the whole of China. The time was very tight. Peace negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are going on intensely in Beijing. The Kuomintang authorities have never been sincere about peace. They want to take advantage of the opportunity of negotiations to prolong the time. The deadline we have given to the Nanjing government is April 20. Thousands of troops will cross the south of the Yangtze River.

This is a very wise decision. Why is the time for crossing the river fixed at this time and not in May? This involves a problem of the flood season. Once the flood season arrives, the water level of the Yangtze River will definitely rise sharply. The widening of the river will inevitably increase the difficulty of crossing the river.If we avoid the flood season and cross over again, it will be a few months later. In this way, we will hit the wishful thinking of Chiang Kai-shek's plan to "expand another two million troops within two to three months".If this is the case, it will not only increase the difficulty of crossing the river, but also make it difficult to estimate the difficulty of our struggle for national liberation.

Perhaps it was tired of the dull and corrupt rule of the Kuomintang, or perhaps the Communist Party was about to secure its position and win the hearts of the people. The pace of history seemed particularly hasty in the spring of 1949. On the evening of April 20th. The mighty People's Liberation Army's troops across the Yangtze River began to advance into the south of the Yangtze River. The defense line of the Yangtze River, boasted by Tang Enbo as "impregnable", collapsed in an instant, and the Kuomintang defenders fled southward in a panic. April 21. Chairman Mao Zedong and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De issued the "Order to March to the Nation" to the commanders and fighters of the field armies and the PLA in the guerrilla areas in the south.

That day and night, the troops of the People's Liberation Army crossing the Yangtze River broke through the natural moat of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and rushed to the land of the south of the Yangtze River like a tide.The important officials of the Nanjing government panicked and hurriedly started a large retreat. On April 24, the Nanjing Puppet Presidential Palace was occupied by the People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army is like a broken bamboo, all the way south, south... With the rumble of artillery from the People's Liberation Army going south, the battle plan to recover Qingdao is also in full swing.

April 25. The 11th appeasement zone of the Kuomintang announced the implementation of military control and promulgated the "Emergency Measures for Punishment".The Kuomintang in Qingdao is defending the enemy. At this moment, there is a lot of panic. In fact, since the end of the Battle of Jinan, the upper echelons of the Qingdao Kuomintang have had a tendency to flee south. On November 26, 1948, more than 1,000 Americans from Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Pingding, and Qingdao returned to the United States. The Kuomintang party, government, military officials, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen in Qingdao suddenly felt that disaster was imminent, and fled with their families. .The wind of fleeing south is getting stronger and stronger.By the end of April, most of the public officials in the city's government agencies had resigned and fled to the south. The actual number was less than half of the original quota, and the regime was actually in a state of paralysis.

However, there are many signs of the Kuomintang party, government and military organizations that have "exiled" to Qingdao, such as: Shandong Provincial Government, Provincial Senate, Provincial Party Headquarters, etc.There are also county (city) Party headquarters in Pingdu, Laiyang, Penglai, Jiaoxian, Yantai, Gaomi, etc.; county (city) governments in Wendeng, Huangxian, Weihai, Yantai, Jimo, etc.; District Security Headquarters, Yantai Security Team, Ludong District Headquarters, Laiyang, Jiaoxian, and Weixian Regimental District Headquarters, Security Fourth and Fifth Battalions, Denglaiqing People's Bandit Suppression Volunteer Corps, Pingchang Border Brigade, etc. , all kinds, almost half of the Kuomintang organizations in Shandong are gathered here, and Qingdao has become a hodgepodge of organizations in exile from all over the country.Of course, each of these institutions in exile is empty-handed.

On the same day as the implementation of military control in the 11th Appeasement Zone, the Shandong Military Region of the People's Liberation Army formulated a combat plan for the liberation of Qingdao and reported it to the central government. On April 28, Mao Zedong, chairman of the Central Military Commission, approved the combat plan of the Shandong Military Region by telegram in the name of the Military Commission. "Agreed to carry out a threatening attack on Qingdao...the purpose is to force the enemy to retreat as soon as possible, so that we can occupy Qingdao as soon as possible."

According to the instructions of the Military Commission, the Shandong Military Region decided to use six infantry regiments of the 32nd Army, one artillery regiment, three infantry regiments of the fourth garrison brigade, one infantry regiment of the fifth garrison brigade, two main regiments of the Jiaodong Military Region, one howitzer battalion, and Part of the backbone and the county's armed forces cooperated to undertake the task of threateningly attacking Qingdao. The campaign was led by Xu Shiyou and Tan Xilin as the principal and deputy commanders. It was time for the peasants to cook their supper. People who have been busy all day have begun to rush home one after another.The smoke from cooking in the village is curling up, and the sound of bellows croaking one after another forms a kind of beautiful music. The evening in the liberated area is peaceful. Under the excellent situation of the rapid development of the War of Liberation, in order to liberate Qingdao, the last important stronghold of the Kuomintang in North China, the East China Military Region, according to the order of the Central Military Commission, rebuilt the Shandong Military Region. He and the artillery regiment formed the 32nd Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with Tan Xilin as the commander, Peng Lin as the political commissar, Liu Yong as the deputy commander, and Zhao Yiping as the chief of staff.Incorporated into the Third Field Army sequence. The military headquarters is located in an ordinary farmhouse, and the guards have already lit up the lanterns in the house. Several leaders of the military headquarters are facing a picture and analyzing it carefully. The city defense map will play an important role in liberating Qingdao. This is a top-secret document from the Operations Division of the 11th Appeasement Zone Headquarters of the Kuomintang. How could it have fallen into the hands of the highest command organ of our army attacking Qingdao? concurrently)?It is a long story, but there is also a moving story with twists and turns, full of the wit and courage of our enemy workers. As mentioned earlier, Ren Daozhi cleverly spied on intelligence, led the military reunification agent Du Xueshi to take the bait step by step, and finally caught him all in one go.And outsmarting the city defense map is much more difficult than cleverly detecting enemy agents.Ren Daozhi's success in outsmarting the city defense map has indeed made a major contribution to our army's capture of Qingdao and reducing casualties. Ren Daozhi came to Qingdao from Jinan in March and April 1948. He was dispatched by the party and was introduced by his elder brother Ren Linpu, who was the secretary of the major in the 11th appeasement area headquarters, and entered the second division of the general affairs department of the headquarters as a sergeant. paperwork.Although he is young, he is very experienced in handling things. He can always try to complete any tasks assigned to him by the party. This is probably the reason why the times make heroes. After breaking into the enemy's interior, he adopted the strategy of making friends with others like a dragon entering the water, and soon won the appreciation of the enemy colonel and section chief. In order to prepare for the liberation of Qingdao, it is necessary to ascertain the situation of the enemy's fortifications in the outskirts of Qingdao as soon as possible. The Jiaodong District Party Committee instructed that the intelligence department of the Qingdao Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China stationed in Pingdunan Village should try to make a report on the military deployment in the outskirts of Qingdao as soon as possible. City defense map.This is a very difficult and important task.After careful analysis by the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee, the qualified comrades who had been sent into the urban area of ​​Qingdao to break into the enemy's heart were carefully selected one by one, and finally a solemn decision was made to hand over this task to Comrade Ren Daozhi of Yu Shuming's team. After accepting the task, you must first find out the location of the enemy's hidden map, and then try to get the map after knowing the location of the hidden map.It seems that finding out the location of the Tibetan map has become a crucial key. The Second Section of the General Affairs Office of the Appeasement Zone Headquarters where Ren Daozhi works is an institution that is in charge of food, fodder and military pay in the Appeasement Zone.The chief of the department often goes to various departments to inspect and inspect, because the chief has a good impression of him and always likes to take him with him when he goes out. He also took advantage of the opportunity of accompanying him to directly see some frontier fortifications, but he could not draw them into pictures. Complete defense engineering diagram. How can I get the enemy's city defense map?He racked his brains and couldn't come up with a perfect plan. He learned that the city defense map is a top-secret document, and only the third department of the headquarters—the combat department has the city defense map, but the combat department is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for people without special identities to get close to it. It can be said that it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the blueprints for the fortifications were not even touched, which was really worrying. The Northeast fell, and the People's Liberation Army marched into the customs. Tangshan fell, and the People's Liberation Army went straight to Beijing and Tianjin. Urgent telegrams, one on the left and one on the right flew to Nanjing like a meteor, and the enemy's position was in chaos. Just as the victory of the War of Liberation was spreading, Qingdao's enemies hurriedly put together a temporary military organization - the Military Engineering Command of the 11th Appeasement Area Command, with Shi Zhongcheng, deputy commander of the appeasement area, as the commander in chief. Opportunities often appear by chance, and chance exists among intricate things. The key lies in whether you have a unique insight. The formation of the Military Engineering Command provided another convenient condition for my underground staff to steal the fortification map outside Qingdao City. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Ren Daozhi quickly reported the news to Comrade Yu Shuming. Yu Shuming immediately convened team members Wang Chuanding, Qu Qi and other comrades to analyze and study specific measures.After analysis, the comrades agreed that although this military engineering headquarters holds high authority, it is a temporary organization, and the personnel are all temporarily transferred. If you can manage to get in, there will definitely be loopholes to exploit.It is much easier to draw pictures from the inside out than from the combat department.Finally decided to try to get a map from the military engineering command. Yu Shuming instructed Ren Daozhi to first try to find out the staffing situation of the military engineering headquarters, see if there are any available personnel, and try to find a way to get in, and try to get first-hand information about the military fortifications outside Qingdao. If there were no countless coincidences in the world to form beautiful landscapes, the whole world would become colorless at all. When Ren Daozhi accepted the task this time, he encountered another unexpected coincidence, that is, Qin Dafeng, a fellow countryman from Jinan he had just met, was transferred to the military engineering headquarters. The news really made him overjoyed. Ren Daozhi's acquaintance with Qin Dafeng was also accidental. It was because he took advantage of his position to secretly copy a roster of officers and soldiers of the Kuomintang Appeasement Area Command and submitted it to the Qingdao Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.Ren Daozhi is a caring person, and being bold and cautious is a necessary condition for an underground worker.When copying the roster of soldiers, on the list of the third section of the General Affairs Office, he paid great attention to the name Qin Dafeng, because Qin Dafeng was also from Jinan and was three years younger than himself.At that time, an idea flashed in his mind to get acquainted with this little fellow countryman.The two of them belonged to the General Affairs Department, and the second and third departments were considered a big family. The two quickly got to know each other. After getting acquainted, Ren Daozhi knew something about Xiao Qin's family. Qin Dafeng, who came from a poor family and lost his father since he was a child, has gone through all the hardships of the world and is the pillar of the family.Due to the frequent wars in recent years, it is difficult to maintain at home. Forced to make a living, he had to leave his mother, wife and children, ask relatives and friends to come to Qingdao, and finally got a small secretary in the Kuomintang army.After several contacts, Ren Daozhi found that Qin Dafeng was honest, honest and good-natured, so he regarded him as his brother everywhere, and soon gained Qin Dafeng's trust.Qin Dafeng has a feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but he doesn't know the true identity of Ren Daozhi. The straightforward and unrestrained character endows Ren Daozhi with the ability to get close to others, which is very beneficial for him to carry out his work.Ever since Qin Dafeng made friends with Ren Daozhi, he felt that Ren Daozhi was a reliable big brother. Because Qin Dafeng is honest, he is not good at the intriguing and intriguing personnel relationship of flirting with others. Of course, he will not be reused by his superiors. To set up a military engineering headquarters, it is a matter of course for him to be transferred here.Hitting crookedly, this just provided an excellent opportunity for Ren Daozhi's work. The emergence of opportunities lies in the use, and those who are good at making use of opportunities are the smartest people.On the contrary, when opportunities arise, there is also the possibility of them being lost. Back then, the urban area of ​​Qingdao was very small, and many institutions had to expand outside the city.The military engineering headquarters is located in the urban-rural junction on the outskirts of the city. In the houses in the north of Xitou Road in Licun Town, there are no signs except for guards with guns outside the gate. Although the passers-by were puzzled, no one knew what this place was for, nor did they know what kind of military institution it was.In that kind of time, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Who would want to cause trouble if he saw a soldier and didn't go around?No one bothered to care about the new military organization here in Li Village. All personnel in the Military Engineering Command, like the 11th Appeasement Area Headquarters located in the urban area, wear cloth badges with the words "5961" issued by the Appeasement Area Headquarters as a sign when entering and leaving.The ranks are distinguished by the different colors of the badges. The military engineering headquarters has a small establishment. In addition to Lieutenant General Shi Zhongcheng and his servants and security personnel, there are several school-level staff officers and secretaries; several lieutenant-level staff officers and adjutant officers; There is one scholar clerk. This is a special military organization with a large skeleton, many officers and few soldiers. According to regulations, all staff members must live in the command headquarters, because this is a very strict military secrecy unit, and there is no room for sloppy and paralyzed.Although it is such an important institution, there are clear regulations there, but no one acts according to the regulations, and the regulations are useless, just a kind of paper talk like business affairs.This soldier is raging, and the raging folk slang is just verified on the corrupt Kuomintang army. No matter whether it is good or bad, once the mouth is opened, it is like a flood that has burst out and cannot be stopped.Shi Zhongcheng took the lead in disobeying the regulations, and the chief took the lead, so everyone below would learn to be more obedient.For those with family members, they go back to the city to reunite with their families after get off work every day, and then return by the headquarters traffic vehicle the next day; no one is a monk who becomes a monk, eats vegetarian food and prays to Buddha, and there is no ancient Buddha lamp in the military engineering headquarters, and no one will Sitting in meditation facing the wall.Those who don't have family members don't want to stay in this village far away from the bustling urban area, especially on weekends, when they can't sit still after lunch, they stare and hope that the deputy commander will leave early .As soon as Shi Zhongcheng leaves, the rest of the officials, big and small, will slip away faster than anyone else. Those who have a home will go home and have a good time with their beautiful wives, while those who have no home will go to bars, restaurants, dance halls, and brothels to fool around. Last night, this has almost become a set of life rules for the entire military engineering command staff. Every Saturday night and Sunday, the on-duty tasks are naturally pushed to the only sergeant clerk, and this sergeant clerk is Qin Dafeng.His family is in Jinan, he is in a foreign land, he has no backer and the lowest position, and he is honest. Since ancient times, he has only picked soft persimmons, and he has to do it if he doesn't want to. Ever since Ren Daozhi learned that Qin Dafeng had been transferred to the military engineering headquarters as a sergeant's secretary, he often used business as an excuse to go to Li Village to play with Qin Dafeng.Playing for fun, its real purpose is to win Qin Dafeng over and work together to complete the work of stealing military intelligence.Started by calling them brothers and sisters, slowly inspiring and guiding Qin Dafeng to recognize the reactionary nature of the Kuomintang reactionaries, subtly carried out ideological education work, and gradually improved Qin Dafeng's political awareness. After all, Qin Dafeng is a child of a poor family. He hates the Kuomintang's perverse actions. He is very tired and disgusted with the situation where the country is not a country and the party is not a party.He saw the general trend of the country's imminent liberation, and he had already begun to think about his own future.At first, he only regarded Ren Daozhi as a big brother from his hometown who cared about him. The closer he got to him, the more he felt that Ren Daozhi had some connections. .He thought that making friends with such people might be a way out. It is true that there is a tacit understanding. Ren Daozhi was observing every subtle change in Qin Dafeng's thinking. The current situation at that time coincided with the third year of the Liberation War, the Shandong battlefield, and the Jinan campaign had just ended. Ren Daozhi saw the change in Qin Dafeng's thinking, and thought that the time had come and it was time to show his cards to him. One day after dinner, he asked Qin Dafeng to go for a walk in the field together. In Li Village in autumn, yellow leaves are falling. The wheels of war are rolling on the land of China, Jinan is liberated, how long will Qingdao support it? There is an atmosphere of preparations for war everywhere. Military jeeps and trucks are running wildly on the road from Li Village to the urban area like a shuttle. Soldiers with live ammunition come and go in groups, covering this village that has always been relatively quiet. A strong atmosphere of war. The blockhouses built not far away, staring at the skull-like eyes, looked like a desolate mass grave from a distance. There are various indications that the time for the People's Liberation Army to liberate Qingdao is approaching. "Dafeng, what do you think of the situation in front of you? Have you considered your future plans?" "Brother Ren, I'm a soft-spoken person and I don't have any backing. I still rely on your advice on how to plan in the future." "Dafeng, we are still young, we should look forward, the Kuomintang has done some immoral things that harm the country and the people, so we can't just follow them blindly." "I also want to fight for a good future, but there is no way!" Ren Daozhi's words were only tentative, but the effect was excellent.These words set off layers of waves in Qin Dafeng's heart, which seemed to be another kind of call, yearning and pursuit of a new life, although the compass of the heart sea was not yet aligned with the established coordinates, and the pursuit and yearning were relatively elusive. But it's a good start after all. A good start is often the most basic prerequisite for every victory, just like a tall building rising from the ground, it is inseparable from the foundation. They walked and talked leisurely on the field path, and the sunset was full of golden light.Ren Daozhi's sharp and vigilant eyes carefully observed Qin Dafeng's reaction, and found that he had no dislike for the topic he brought up, so he changed the subject and asked a straightforward question. "Dafeng, since ancient times, those who lose their hearts will lose the world, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The Kuomintang has lost all its hearts, and the Communists will have the hearts of the people. If the Communist Party finds you now, do you dare to help them with something? " After Ren Daozhi finished speaking, he watched Qin Dafeng's expression change. "Dare! But can they find us? Can they trust us?" Qin Dafeng looked helpless and melancholy. Having talked about this, the time is ripe for Ren Daozhi to reveal his true identity. "Dafeng, let's be honest, I am the Communist Party. In fact, even if I don't say it explicitly, you probably already feel it. I have already obtained the consent of the Party to tell you directly the tasks I undertake, and ask you to help me to come together. Finish." "What do you need me to do for you? Big brother, please tell me quickly." Qin Dafeng asked excitedly and eagerly. "Take out the city defense map of the Military Engineering Headquarters, and we will draw it up secretly, and make a contribution to the liberation of Qingdao. The people of Qingdao will never forget you. However, the matter is of great importance, and this matter must not reveal the slightest flaw. He's coming without anyone noticing, understand?" Ren Daozhi exhorted very seriously. Qin Dafeng nodded knowingly. "After the task is completed, if you want, I will send you to the liberated area." In order to relieve Qin Dafeng's worries, Ren Daozhi gave him a reassurance in time. "Brother, stop talking. I know everything. I know how to behave. From now on, I will do what you say. The Communist Party thinks highly of me, and I am willing to go to the fire." What more do I need to say? The big hands of two pairs of comrades and comrades-in-arms are tightly holding each other in that special era and special environment, holding... Since the establishment of this brotherly friendship, the task of stealing pictures?It has officially entered the implementation stage. Trying to get the city defense map, the contact between them became more frequent. In order not to arouse the enemy's suspicion, which is also a cover-up to confuse the enemy, Ren Daozhi often wears the "5961" symbol of his brother's rank as a colonel, and goes in and out of the military engineering headquarters.Since that conversation, Qin Dafeng's life coordinates have been correctly positioned. Ren Daozhi's words flowed through his heart like the spring water of Laoshan, washing his soul. Qin Dafeng also likes to be with Ren Daozhi often. He seems to be leaning against a green pine tree in Laoshan. He seems to be leaning on a mountain, and the mountain gives him strength, a sense of stability, and a broad vision... A conclusion naturally came to Qin Dafeng's mind: "It's right to do something with the Communist Party!" Whenever Ren Daozhi, who wore the symbol of "5961" as a colonel's military rank, appeared at the military engineering headquarters, Qin Dafeng consciously introduced the younger brother of the major secretary of the headquarters to the staff and adjutants.This move was very ingenious, and the effect was excellent, because whoever doesn't have a small nine in his stomach, who doesn't know that the major secretary of the headquarters has great hands and eyes, and whoever makes a small report in front of Shangfeng will be rewarded. I can't eat and walk around.And when this kind of loss is eaten, it is hard for a dumb person to eat Coptis chinensis. Who wants to cause unnecessary trouble? People respect some dogs who bite black, don't say it, pulling the big banner to make tiger skin is really fucking amazing, Ren Daozhi's value in the military engineering headquarters has been raised a lot at once.When the staff officers and adjutants of the Military Engineering Command met him, they greeted him politely as if they were at the same level as their own, and some even made friends with him on purpose.He also pushed the boat along the way, pretending to be intimate with them and very speculative, saying that brothers and sisters came to visit. All the efforts he made were to capture and use opportunities. Opportunities are never fleeting. Ren Daozhi has a very keen characteristic, that is, he is extremely good at capturing and utilizing opportunities. In the ingenious dealings with the enemy, with the mutual cooperation between him and Qin Dafeng, he quickly figured out the rules of personnel's activities and the use and storage of the city defense map in the military engineering headquarters. After repeated research by Yu Shuming's team and repeated simulation exercises by Ren Daozhi and Qin Dafeng, a careful action plan was formed. Qingdao's boundless sea and sky, a bright moon rises, it is always in love with the earth, China, and Jiaozhou Bay, a treasure land of geomantic omen.It is a sky mirror without partiality, and it is not subject to bribery and slander, and it always fairly reflects the various forms of the world. Everywhere on the street, there is a secret message: "The Communist Party is going to take over the world." According to the agreed contact time, Ren Daozhi came to the secret place of the underground working group - Yu Shuming's home at No. 22 Jiaodong Road.Under the dim light, Yu Shuming excitedly whispered to Ren Daozhi: "The municipal party committee has approved our plan." "real?" Ren Daozhi stared at Yu Shuming intently and asked. "There can be falsehoods. The municipal party committee decided that you should notify Qin Dafeng. The party decided to develop him as an underground worker based on his request and performance. I hope he will work hard and make his own contribution to the liberation of Qingdao." "Then when will you act?" "The time remains the same, this Saturday, the job of copying the map has been arranged. After you go back, you and Qin Dafeng will study each link again, and you must be absolutely foolproof, and there will be no mistakes." "Please tell the municipal party committee and resolutely complete the task." The bright moon in the sky began to drift westward. That night, Ren Daozhi was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night. He got up as soon as it was light, and drove to Li Village from the headquarters of the KMT's 11th appeasement area on Guantao Road.He found Qin Dafeng and told him the good news that the municipal party committee had officially approved his development as an underground worker. When Qin Dafeng heard the exciting news, he was so excited that his eyes filled with tears like pearls.He held Ren Daozhi's hands tightly and said, "So, I am already your comrade?" "Actually, you are already our comrade." Ren Daozhi said to Qin Dafeng with a smile. "Please tell the leader that I will be with you and resolutely complete this task. For the sake of the revolution, I have risked everything. Beheading is just a big scar—worth it." There is an old saying in China that the times make heroes. Heroes are often born among the people.
