Chapter 10 Chapter 9: New Year's Eve Riots on Both Banks of the Jingjiang River

After Liu Shaonan and Xiong Chuanzao finished speaking, they said to He Long and Zhou Yiqun together: "The Honghu Revolution is in a good situation, and the foundation of the underground party is very good, but it lacks a unified command. It will be fine if you come here." He Long said: "Call together people from all walks of life and hold a joint meeting." He Jinzhai said: "Talking back, this place is small, with only three piers and a hundred households. I think we will get off the regiment defense in Chewan and gather all kinds of people there." He Long agreed.

Therefore, He Jinzhai commanded the team and occupied Xiache Bay. Xiache Bay is a big town. On the morning of the second day after the capture of Xiache Bay, He Long stood on the bank outside the door with a pipe in his mouth, looking at the Yangtze River flowing eastward.At this time, there was a milky white mist floating on the surface of the river, and the river wind blew on He Long's dignified face. Zhou Yiqun came to He Long and said to He Long, "Yun Qing, what do you think?" He Long said: "I heard people say that the ancestor patrolled the river and swore, and Yue Fei looked at the mountains and roared. What should we communists say in the face of this torrential river?"

Zhou Yiqun said: "Qing Yun, I never expected you to have such rich feelings. We communists should go from east to west, and the waves wash away the sand. That's how revolution is, the waves behind push the waves ahead!" While the two were talking, a small boat stopped in front of them, and one of them hurried towards He Long. He Long saw that this person looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was for a while.The man came in front of He Long and saluted, "Commander, I can see you." He Long took another look. This person was Zhang Tianhui, a section chief of the 15th Division during the Northern Expedition.Later he left due to illness.He Long said: "Tian Hui, how have you been?"

Zhang Tianhui said: "After returning home, I set up a grocery stall while recuperating from illness. It was delicious. I heard that the commander-in-chief had arrived here in the morning, so I rushed here." At that moment, He Long let Zhang Tianhui into the room.After sitting down, Zhang Tianhui said: "There is a team in Shishou County. The team is very lively. The leader is Li Zhaolong. He is my old cousin. Would the commander-in-chief want him to come and meet?" Zhou Yiqun said: "Li Zhaolong was a party member during the Great Revolution." He Long said to Zhang Tianhui: "Go and inform him, just say I'm here."

Zhang Tianhui agreed and left happily. After Zhang Tianhui left, He Long presided over a meeting. Zhou Yiqun proposed to call the guerrilla leaders together for a joint meeting so that the riots on both sides of the Jingjiang River could act in a unified manner. Everyone agreed, so they separately notified. Three days later, leaders from various guerrilla groups came, including Xiao Renhu, commander of the Fifth Army of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army, Peng Guocai, commander of the Jianli Guerrilla Brigade, Zou Zisheng, leader of the Gong’an County Guerrilla Brigade, and Duan Yulin, commander of the Shishou County Guerrilla Brigade. Jiangling County Guerrilla Brigade Captain Chen Xiangbo, Jianli County Party Secretary Xiong Chuanzao, Li Zhaolong, Liu Shaonan, Liu Gefei, Lou Minxiu, etc.It was a pleasure to meet you all.He Long heard that Duan Yulin's guerrilla brigade had only 20 people but played the banner of the 19th Route Army of the Communist Party of China. Although there were few people, the sign was ringing. Son, you don’t have the guts.”

At the joint meeting, He Long and Zhou Yiqun stayed to lead the year-end riots on both sides of the Jingjiang River according to the request of the Shishou Central County Party Committee.So they planned to launch riots in the six counties of Shishou, Jiangling, Huarong, Anxiang, Jianli, and Mianyang. At the meeting, it was decided to combine the three departments of Wu Xianzhou, Xiao Renhu, and He Jinzhai in Shishou to form the 49th Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants Revolutionary Army. Army, He Long served as the commander-in-chief, He Jinzhai was the commander of the army, under the jurisdiction of three brigades, the first brigade captain Teng Shuyun, the second brigade captain Shi Shuyuan, and the third brigade captain Xiao Renhu.There are more than 300 people in the army with guns.

The task of the 49th Army was to wipe out the bandits, local tyrants and evil gentry and their regiment defense forces that were the most harmful to the peasant associations and the general public, and mobilize the peasants on both sides of the Jingjiang River to further set off an upsurge of riots. After the establishment of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, it first moved in Jianli, successively attacked regiment defense strongholds in Shangchewan, Shakuhachi, Niehe, Wangyuan and other places, and suppressed the local tyrants, lake tyrants, and regiment defense leaders in this area.

At this time, the Huarong County Party Committee sent a letter requesting that the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army move to the south of the Yangtze River to eliminate the big bandit Brother Wen.He Long, Zhou Yiqun, He Jinzhai and others discussed and decided to take advantage of the New Year's Eve to divide their troops into three groups to eliminate the three big bullies and bandits on both sides of the Jingjiang River. The eldest brother, one is the bandit Yizhu from Shangchewan, and the three teams are led by He Long, Zhou Yiqun, and He Jinzhai. Zhang Yanhui is a big bandit leader who came from Sichuan.There are hundreds of people under him, with seventy or eighty guns.He Jinzhai had contact with this person when he was first armed on both sides of the Jingjiang River, but failed to cooperate.

He Long led the first road through half a day's journey, and arrived at Jiaoshan River in Shishou when it was dark.Zhang Yanhui lives in this town.He Long dressed up as a wealthy man, Lu Dongsheng dressed up as the manager, and the team members also dressed up as followers. He Long came to the gate of Zhang Yanhui's residence in a sedan chair carried by four people.The house where Zhang Yanhui lives is very grand. There are horse-mounting stones and dismounting stones at the door, and stone lions guard the door. As soon as He Long's sedan chair landed, two guards came over and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Lu Dongsheng stepped forward to salute and said: "I'm sorry to both of you, and I told you that Boss Wang from the Wufu Trading Company in Hankou went home for the New Year and passed by here to visit Captain Zhang." When the two soldiers heard this, they immediately stuck out their tongues. Why?It turned out that Boss Wang was a native of Shishou City, nicknamed Tongue Wang.Wang Datong made a windfall outside. Three years ago, Wang Datong's father died in Shashi. During the funeral, the paper paste was placed for several miles, and the jingling Guangyang flowers went to the table of the Eight Immortals.The bar-covered house was invited from Hankou, and the big bars carried by 8864 were used. Since there are only 32 bars in Shashi, they were invited from Hankou.From his home to the cemetery, he had to pass through South Street in Shishou. Because the street was narrow and the bars could not pass, he had to demolish the houses, including 87 rooms facing the street, before taking his father out.This funeral is too wide.The common people said: "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is dead, and he is only 64 bars. Wang Da's tongue is so ostentatious because he has money, and there is nowhere to spend the money."

The two soldiers guarding the door heard that Wang Datong wanted to pay a visit to Captain Zhang, so naturally they did not dare to neglect, and then saw that there were dozens of people behind Boss Wang's sedan chair, carrying and carrying a lot of things. At this time, Lu Dongsheng grabbed a handful of Guangyang and said to the two soldiers: "You two, buy a bag of tea." The two soldiers smiled and said, "wait a moment, gentlemen, and the younger one will report." Then, one of the soldiers entered the courtyard. This courtyard is very deep, with five floors in front and back.The soldier passed through the main room on the second floor, and the living room on the third floor, and then came to the upper room of Zhang Yanhui. Zhang Yanhui was lying on the big bed with his legs crossed, and there were two rouge and rouge women waiting for him to smoke opium. The soldier came in and reported, "Report to the captain, Mr. Wang from Hankou is going back to his hometown in Shashi for the New Year, passing by here." , I’m here to pay my respects to the Lord.” Zhang Yanhui said without raising his eyelids: "Why did he come to see me? Nope!" The soldier said: "You can't make a mistake when you are old. This is a big gift for your old man." Zhang Yanhui said, "How many gifts did he bring?" The soldier blinked and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of ceremonies, some are raised, some are picked, there is a long list." Before Zhang Yanhui could speak, the two women beside him said, "Hurry up and greet the guests, who doesn't know that Boss Wang is rich, and now he's coming to flatter you, why don't you see me?" Zhang Yanhui said: "Nowadays red heads are everywhere, is this Boss Wang real or fake?" The two women said: "No matter how many red heads there are, I dare not break ground on your Tai Sui head! Go quickly, Boss Wang is here to worship, I must ask you for something." Only then did Zhang Yanhui get up and said, "Pass my words and receive the guests." Zhang Yanhui said, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the house. It was already dark at this time, and his subordinates hurriedly brought two lanterns , according to the road ahead.When Zhang Yanhui arrived at the gate, the guard pointed to the luxuriously dressed He Long and said to Zhang Yanhui, "Master, this is Boss Wang." Zhang Yanhui immediately cupped his fists and said "please". He Long looked up and saw Zhang Yanhui with a fleshy face, two evil eyebrows, a livid face, and a big brazier mouth. Standing there, he looked like a piece of cold iron. Zhang Yanhui is an old bandit leader, very vigilant, he also looked He Long up and down, and said: "Boss Wang, you and I don't know each other, come today..." He didn't continue his words, He Long smiled and said: "Captain Zhang, you and I are old acquaintances, don't you even know me?" Zhang Yanhui's eyeballs rolled around, but he didn't speak. He Long took off his glasses and said, "When I was the brigade commander in the Sichuan Thieves' Army, we fought in Chongqing." Zhang Yanhui was startled, and said, "You...you are He Long!" He Long smiled and said, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for several years." Zhang Yanhui immediately put on a smiling face, hurriedly let He Long into the hall, and hurriedly asked for tea.Repeatedly said: "I'm offended, I, Zhang Yanhui, can't see gold inlaid with jade. I never thought that the army commander will arrive, and I will be far away. Please welcome the army commander Haihan." He Long said: "I heard that you are pulling a team here, isn't it good?" Zhang Yanhui said: "In this day and age, a gun is king." Although Zhang Yanhui was respectful to He Long, his eyes were still serious, and he kept looking at He Long and others.He Long talked to him about some famous generals in Sichuan and the situation he was familiar with.While talking, taking advantage of Zhang Yanhui's unpreparedness, He Long and Lu Dongsheng lost their eyes.Lu Dongsheng understood.He Long took Zhang Yanhui's gun under the pretext of seeing how it was hanging, and then Lu Dongsheng shot him dead. As soon as Zhang Yanhui died, his soldiers were in disarray, some jumped over the wall, some went to the room, and some ran away. He Long stood on the high steps and shouted loudly: "I am He Long, whoever dares to do it, I knocked his head!" He Long's voice stopped these people, and those who climbed onto the wall also rolled down.The soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army immediately stepped forward and disarmed the bandits. While He Long was packing up the cigarette ashes, He Jinzhai led a group of people to Shangche Bay.After He Jinzhai retorted to pull up the team, he once contacted Yi Zhu, and the two sides also exchanged courtesies.Yi Zhu is also from Sichuan, nicknamed Big Brother Yi.He Jinzhai sent people to negotiate with Yi Zhu, and the two sides held talks in Xiache Bay to conclude a non-aggression treaty between the two armies.Yi Zhuzheng wanted to recruit He Jinzhai's troops, so he agreed immediately.He took a big wooden boat and drove straight to the pagoda at Xiache Bay.There are also fish, meat, cloth and other things on board as a meeting gift. He Jinzhai went to the drop-off bay first, and chose the meeting place in the Catholic Church.And people put on the banquet and smoking set.The two parties agreed in advance that they would not bring horses and weapons when going upstairs. After Yi Shu went ashore, he arrived at the Catholic Church. He Jinzhai was already waiting in front of the church. When the two shook hands, He Jinzhai punched Yi Shu in the face. As a result, Yi Xing was killed, and several of Yi Zhu's followers were also captured alive by He Jinzhai's subordinates. On the same day, Zhou Yiqun led his troops to capture Huarong's brick bridge and wiped out more than a hundred bandit Brother Wen.The next day, the Kuomintang troops stationed in Shashi sent a regiment leader surnamed Huang, armed with dozens of guns, and went straight to the counter, intending to incorporate He Jinzhai's department. When He Long knew about it, he planned to disarm him. After the four bullies were eliminated, both sides of the Jingjiang River shook for a while.He Long asked people to post a notice in the name of "General Commander of the North Road Guerrilla".When the poor people saw it, they were all rejoiced, and the local tyrants and evil gentry were naturally frightened. At the beginning of February 1928, He Long, Zhou Yiqun, He Jinzhai and others came to Taohua Mountain in Shishou and participated in the meeting of party leaders held by the Shishou Central County Committee in Doulingzi.He Long and Zhou Yiqun listened to the reports of Li Zhaolong and others. Li Zhaolong said: "After the failure of the Great Revolution, Yang Sen's troops went from eastern Sichuan to Shishou and carried out a bloody massacre of the revolutionary masses and communists. There were more than 200 revolutionary members of the Communists killed in Shishou. The current mood of the masses First, he gritted his teeth with hatred for the reactionaries, second, he was nostalgic for the joy of the revolution, and third, he was worried that the riot would fail and he would be killed instead.” Qu Chunyang, Liu Gefei and others also reported their own situation.Qu Chunyang said: "At the beginning of January, Tang Fengxian, director of the Xiaohekou Regiment Defense Bureau, arrested 10 of our comrades and killed them all. I heard that he was going to sing a big opera in the first lunar month, and the troupe had been set. I think we can take this opportunity to get rid of them." Drop him." He Long listened and nodded.After listening to everyone's report, He Long said: "Although I came here for a short time, I saw that the hearts of the people in Shishou are red and their blood is hot. The fire can ignite into the sky at any time. However, when we mobilize the masses, we should not just talk about it, but make a show. The Tang Fengxian that Qu Chunyang mentioned had his hands covered with the blood of our Communists. Now, get rid of him!" Zhou Yiqun highly praised the work of the Shishou Central County Party Committee, especially maintaining an armed force that had been established since the Great Revolution.He finally said: "After the bloodbath of the enemy, the love and hatred of the people in Shishou became clearer. This is an important factor for us to make the year-end riots successful and in-depth development. Now, the fire has been ignited, and we want to make this fire a prairie fire." The meeting also studied the implementation plan for the in-depth development of the riot.Li Zhaolong made specific arrangements for the in-depth development of the riots. The armed forces from all walks of life acted in accordance with the deployment of the Douziling meeting.Qu Chunyang led the guerrillas to take advantage of Xiaohekou town to sing a big opera. When Tang Fengxian was watching the opera, he approached Tang Fengxian in disguise and shot Tang's life. Several evil gentry who watched the opera with Tang were also executed.A dozen soldiers from the Regiment Defense Bureau were also disarmed. On the afternoon of the day when Qu Chunyang killed Tang Fengxian, Li Zhaolong and Li Liangyao mobilized thousands of peasants to riot in Shihuayan, killed the big evil gentry Liu Zaiyi and others, and even conquered Gaoji Temple and Jiufogang, and captured Tiaoguan for the second time. He Jinzhai led his troops under the leadership of farmer Li Hengjiu to capture Xiaohekou and Ditou.Duan Yulin led the guerrillas to launch a riot in the new factory, and executed Liu Xuelin, his father and son, and the bully Tang Kuijia and his wife.When Wu Xianzhou led his troops to launch a riot, he also intercepted an arms ship on the Yangtze River and once attacked Shishou County.He Long personally commanded the Shishou Revolutionary Army to attack the regiment defenses of Sanlangyan and Moshanpu in Huarong. The power of the Communist Party has spread throughout Huarong County, especially the East and West Townships.The county party committee headed by Liu Gefei began to work in groups of four on February 1. Duan Dechang and Dai Butian decided to start the riot by killing the big bully Fu Zuguang. Duan Dechang was born in Jiuwuchang, Jiudushan, South County, Hunan Province, from a poor background.He was extremely intelligent since he was a child, and when he was young, he was angry with the society and set his ambition to save the country. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1925, entered the fourth period of study in Huangpu in the same year, and then entered the Central Political Workshop hosted by Li Fuchun.When he graduated, at the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Duan Chu was appointed as a battalion commander of the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and then as a representative of the Fifth Regiment of the Sixth Army and director of the Political Department of the Thirty-fifth Army. Duan Dechang had a close relationship with Peng Dehuai. During the Northern Expedition, Duan Dechang worked in the Political Department of the First Division of the Hunan Army and often followed the first regiment led by Peng Dehuai. In September 1926, the first regiment was ordered to besiege the South Gate of Wuchang. On the day of the siege, Duan Dechang and Peng Dehuai often watched the enemy's situation by the moat.One day, the two walked under a big willow tree next to the suspension bridge. Suddenly, more than a dozen enemy soldiers rushed out of the city and surrounded Peng and Duan.The two faced the group of enemies without fear.Take the long and short weapons from the enemy's hands respectively, and fight the enemy hand-to-hand with the power of the gods.They were calm and calm, back to back, dealing with the enemy, but seeing the cold light intertwined and the swords clashing, they did not escape until the guard platoon arrived.Since then, Peng and Duan have become more and more emotional. After the capture of Wuchang.Peng Dehuai's troops stayed in Hanyang for a few days, then went to Dangyang via Xiaogan. At this time, the remnants of Wu Peifu fled from Yichang to the north via Yuquan Mountain in a panic. Zhou Pan, the commander of the First Division of the National Revolutionary Army, ordered Peng Dehuai to lead his troops to pursue and occupy Yuquan Mountain to intercept the fleeing enemy. Duan Dechang also went with him.Yuquan Mountain is the place where Guan Yunchang manifested his holiness as written in the book.The Guandi Temple was built on the mountain, with pines and cypresses everywhere, flowing water and clear springs.That evening, Peng and Duan had a long talk in front of the statue of Guan Yun. Duan Dechang pointed to the statue of Guan Yun and asked Peng Dehuai, "What do you think of Guan Yunchang?" Peng Dehuai said with a smile: "Yunchang is a tool of the feudal rulers, and it is still a tool used by the ruling class. It is nothing more than the word loyalty, which is meaningless." Duan Dechang smiled and said, "What do you think is interesting?" Peng Dehuai said: "I was born in poverty. When I was a child, I passed out from begging and starving. I think it is interesting to fight for the working people." Duan Dechang asked again: "What do you think the ultimate goal of the national revolution is?" Peng Dehuai said: "Isn't it every day calling for the downfall of warlords, local tyrants and evil gentry, corrupt officials, and the implementation of 25% rent reduction? In my opinion, only those who should cultivate can have their land, and only then can the people be equal and achieve common prosperity." Duan Dechang shook his head and said: "A true revolutionary should not stop at the land to the tiller, but should change the private ownership of the means of production into public ownership, develop from distribution according to work to distribution according to need, eliminate exploiting classes, and implement socialism and communism. This is the task of our Communist Party." When Peng Dehuai heard this, he stood up and asked, "Dechang, let me join the Communist Party." Duan Dechang asked: "Are you the Kuomintang?" Peng Dehuai snorted and said, "I don't plan to join the Kuomintang. Look at those people in the Kuomintang, who smoke opium, suffer from severe sores, eat vegetarian food, and recite Buddhism. Can such a party fight for the hard-working masses?" Duan Dechang said: "Dehuai, you fight, the door of the Communist Party is open to you." Later, Peng Dehuai joined the party, and his introducer was Duan Dechang. After the failure of the Great Revolution, Duan Dechang was sent to the Honghu area by Zhou Enlai, and then Exi Special Commissioned him to Gongan County as Secretary of the Public Security County Party Committee.After Duan Dechang arrived in Gong'an County, he found Dai Butian and Hu Fangxi, members of the Communist Party of Gong'an County.After the Amitabha Temple riot, the reactionary garrisons in Hunan and Hubei provinces were recruited to suppress it. The county committee of the Communist Party of China Public Security was severely damaged, and the main leaders of the county committee Hu Zhuming, Qin Jichuan, Liu Xuan and others died.At this time, Dai Butian shouldered the mission entrusted by the superior party. After returning to Gong'an County, together with Hu Fangxi, who came to the police first, and Zhang Jichu, chairman of the Hankou Wharf Federation of Trade Unions, he secretly recruited more than 50 Communist Party members. Bu Tianyu carefully selected a group of young people from among these party members to form an assassination team - the local tyrants called it the assassination party, and Dai was the captain.After the establishment of the assassination team, they first killed the "three evils" of Renheyuan——Fan Chunxiang, head of the Qingxiang regiment in the seventh district, Zhu Jiecheng, the treasurer, and Duan Xianyi, the evil gentry, to boost the morale of the team members. At that time, the evil gentry of Nanwuzhou in Gong'an County worked in the blue sky, gathered more than 20 local ruffians, started a "martial arts school", practiced martial arts day and night, and threatened to "kill all the assassins and capture Dai Mazi alive".However, soon Lan was killed by the assassination team, and a note was left on Lan's body, saying: We wait for the assassination party to set up a net, whoever dares to fight against him will end up in the end! Within two or three months of its establishment, the assassination team executed more than twenty vicious local tyrants and evil gentry, making the reactionaries feel as if they were silent.At the end of the year, the assassination team expanded to more than ninety people.At this time, Duan Dechang became the Secretary of the Public Security County Party Committee. After meeting with Dai Butian and Hu Fangxi, Duan Dechang fully affirmed their work.According to the Hubei Provincial Party Committee's "Instructions on General Rural Riots", they studied the issue of "New Year's End Riots" with Dai Butian in Nanwuzhou. At this time, Hu Fangxi brought a message: Fu Zuguang camp arrived at Qiaobutou, a small town. Fu Zuguang was a big bandit on the border of Gong'an and Jiangling counties, and the common people hated him.This time Fu Zuguang was incorporated by the Kuomintang and appointed as the battalion commander, so he happily returned to Tuguo Lane to set up a regiment defense in Tu Guo Lane.Fu Zuguang burned, killed, looted, committed all kinds of crimes, captured Communist Party members and cadres of the Agricultural Association, and tortured them brutally.They were beaten with wet hemp rope until their bodies were covered with cuts and bruises, and their flesh was bloody. They then stuck dry hemp on their bodies. After the blood stains dried, those green hemp also stuck to their bodies, and they pulled the hemp ropes one by one. The people who were torn were in agony Howling, in pain, desperate to die.Therefore, the common people called Fu Zuguang the king of Hades.The many tortures are really difficult to explain in a few words, and the people around the neighborhood shudder when they mention Fu Zuguang. Duan Dechang decided to kill Fu Zuguang as the starting point for the year-end riots.On the night of the New Year's Eve, when Fu Zuguang was slaughtering chickens and sheep, healed tendons and worshiped ancestors, Duan Dechang, Dai Butian and others led the assassination team to Tuguo Lane quietly, taking advantage of the opportunity when the guards were drunk and sleeping soundly. , rushed into Tu Guo Lane, and killed Fu Zuguang.Duan Dechang stained Fu Zuguang's blood with a cloth, and wrote "Killer, assassination team" on the wall.Then Tu Guoxiang was liberated, and immediately, many poor people joined the assassination team. After killing Fu Zuguang, Duan Dechang reorganized the assassination team and divided them into 9 combat groups.At this time, Duan Dechang and Dai Butian decided to destroy the Zhakou Qingxiang regiment after learning that the Zhakou Qingxiang regiment was empty.On a rainy night, Duan Dechang and Dai Butian led an assassination team to surprise the Zhakou regiment defense and seized 32 long and short guns.At this time, the assassination team had more than one hundred guns.The county party committee renamed the assassination team the Red Guard Brigade. Fu Zuguang's department was wiped out, and the regiment defense at Zhakou was attacked. The reactionaries immediately mobilized the regiment defenses of the three districts to attack the Red Guards stationed in Hetanbao. Duan Dechang and Dai Butian ambushed the Red Guards at the main road, When the enemy arrived at Renhetan, searched every house and set fire to the house, Duan Dechang and Dai Butian led the Red Guards to rush in, and the enemy immediately panicked and fled in embarrassment. Then, Duan Dechang and Dai Butian reformed an organization with a religious and superstitious tinge - the "Hard Head Association". This mass organization, like the "magic soldiers" in western Hubei, chanted mantras and drank talisman water during battles.Duan Dechang sent Communist Party members Liao Dajun and Gao Yaochen to serve as the altar masters of the "Hard Head Association", transforming the "Hard Head Association" into an armed force controlled by the Communist Party. The year-end riots in Jianli, Shishou, and Huarong counties led to peasant riots in Mianyang, Hanchuan, and Qianjiang. The famous peasant riot team under the command of Duan Dechang attacked the Zuguang camp of the 73rd master of the Kuomintang in Qiaotoubu Public Security, attacked the group defense at the gate, and ambushed the reinforcements of the county guard.Together with Yang Rongxiang and Zou Zisheng, Duan Dechang led the riot team to wipe out more than 300 enemies and surrender more than 100 guns during the year-end riots.Chen Xiangbo and Peng Zhiyu of Jiangling led the riot team, with the cooperation of the people, destroyed the gunboats of the regular training team in Shagang, burned the salt cards and opium dens, etc., and stormed Linjiadang, and established Jiangling in Shagang The County Farmers Association reorganized the riot team into the Jiangling Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Brigade.Liu Chisheng from Longwan cooperated with Chen Xiangbo and Peng Zhiyu's worker-peasant-soldier brigade across Bailu Lake and defeated Lao Xinkou's regiment defense team.After peasants rioted in Langtou, Dingji, Nanhe, Miaotou and other places in Hanchuan County, under the organization of Wang Pingzhang, the Fourth Hanchuan Army of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army was established.The riots in Mianyang and Qianjiang were also wave after wave.Du Xiujing of Nan County led the riot team to play the name of "Dongting Guerrilla Headquarters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army".At that time, Peng Dehuai's regiment was stationed in Nanxian County, and he was the head of the first regiment of the Kuomintang's Hunan Independent Fifth Division.After he got in touch with the special committee of Huarong'an Township in Nan County, he sent guns and the riot team to support the riot team's actions.Wherever the Revolutionary Army of Workers and Peasants went, they hunted down local tyrants, confiscated inferior property, and propagated the principles of armed uprising and land reform to the masses.Greatly inspired the masses to struggle. Then, He Long commanded the Fifth Army, which wiped out more than 2,000 regiment defenses and bandits on both sides of the Jingjiang River. By mid-February, the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army had rapidly grown from more than 300 to more than 1,000 people. As the year-end riots on both sides of the Jingjiang River deepened and He Long's name was revealed, those local tyrants, evil gentry, bullies, and small bandits immediately became honest. The common people rushed to tell each other, saying that when He Long arrived at Honghu Lake, he would get water from a living dragon and wanted to ride the clouds to the sky. He Jinzhai excitedly wrote a poem "Lang Tao Sha": The flowers are in bud, the color is better than fresh peaches, and they will spit out when they meet the spring breeze, flying all over the world to achieve great fruits, and they are confident. The reactionary life is inevitable, the struggle is futile, and the revolutionary tide is higher than the sky.Try to see the rolling waves in southern Hunan and northern Guangdong.
