Chapter 23 Chapter 22 "I Dedicate My Life to My Party"

He Jinzhai followed He Long to the back of the sand, when he saw that the enemy's "encirclement and suppression" had brought serious disasters to the broad masses of the people, and he could see the people fleeing with the old and the young, so he hated the enemy more and more. He wrote " "Xijiang Moon" is a poem.The word says: That night, He Jinzhai went to the company to check the sentry. When he walked to the door of a squad, he heard someone sighing in the room. He was about to step in when he heard someone say: "Lao San, let's go. We wanted to make a fortune with He Longsheng. It seems that He Long's strength is exhausted, Chen Cexun burned the Hongjiaguan bridge, and tore up his family's ancestral grave, Feng Shui was broken, and without the dragon's veins, He Long can't achieve great things."

The other said: "No, a few days ago I asked a blind fortune teller to approve the 'horoscope', and the blind man said that I committed a 'big howling star' this year, and the big howling star was either howling my father or my mother, or howling myself. Parents are dead long ago, why don't you howl at yourself?" "Then let's go quickly." At this point, He Jinzhai pushed the door and entered, and the soldiers suddenly became nervous. He Jinzhai looked at the soldiers and said, "Don't be afraid, if you want to leave, the commander and I will not keep you. There is no travel expenses. I'll give you travel expenses." Then, he took out a few Guangyang from his body, put them on the table, turned and went out the door.

After He Jinzhai went out, he returned to his residence and sat in the house, feeling mixed feelings.I thought to myself: The revolution is really not easy, and it has suffered repeated setbacks. In the future, in the long journey, I don’t know how many comrades will shed blood and sacrifice, and there may be myself here. If you sacrifice yourself, you will not be able to do your best. At that moment, he took up a pen and wrote a letter to his family, which was written to his younger brother He Jinzhang. The letter read: He Jinzhai wrote the letter and handed it to Li Guiqing, an orderly soldier, asking him to send the letter home. He Jinzhai never expected that this was his last letter.

After He Jinzhai asked Li Guiqing to leave, he went outside the house and looked up, but seeing a bright moon in the sky, he couldn't help thinking about it. He thought of the time when he and He Long fought north and south, blocked east and west, and toasted to celebrate victory; In the defeat of Chaoshan, when I believed in Ou Baichuan's words and ordered the troops to disarm; I also thought of the ups and downs of going to Xiangxi with He Long to drag the troops, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings. He asked with a smile, "Wenxiu, what are you thinking about?"

He Jinzhai sighed and said: "Brother Chang, I think revolution is really not easy!" He Long smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid of difficulties?" He Jinzhai said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of death, why should I be afraid of difficulties? It's just that we should avoid detours. For example, our team is too complicated, and whenever there is a setback, there will be repetitions." He Long said: "When we returned to Xiangxi this time, we pulled up a team. Most of them relied on my old department, relatives and friends, and then the bandits we recruited. What do these people want to do with me? It's for the sake of making money. They admire my name so much. Come on, I don’t intend to start a revolution with the Communist Party, such a team is hard to withstand, Yiqun pointed out this when he was in Kuzhuping, we must work hard to build a team with poor workers and peasants as the backbone.” He Longzheng said Here, suddenly in the night sky, a group of old crows croaked and flew by. After the old crows passed by, He Long suddenly remembered something and said to him: "No, the crows are frightened at night, and there must be a large enemy force passing by. Bird, it is likely that enemy soldiers will attack us tonight, gather your troops quickly, and quickly evacuate from Nisha Town."

He Jinzhai didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ordered the orderly to notify the bugler on duty to assemble the troops, the orderly agreed, and flew out of the door. Immediately, a blast of trumpets pierced the night sky, and the Fourth Red Army assembled quickly. Just after the assembly was completed, there was a burst of intense gunshots on the mountain in the northwest corner of Nisha Town. The gunfire crackled like fried beans. , In this quiet night, I really don't know how many people there are. The enemy who attacked the Fourth Red Army was the regiment guard of the traitor Luo Xiaozhi.When Luo Xiaozhi sent people to detect He Long's defeat and stayed in Nisha Town to collect the lost troops, he offered advice to Chen Jiayou, the head of the Hunan Army, saying that He Long could be caught in this way.Chen Jiayou was overjoyed, and immediately followed Luo Xiaozhi's plan to attack Nisha Town at night.Therefore, Luo Xiaozhi's relatives led the Shimen security group, Chen Jiayou's two battalions, and the Lixian security group, a total of 1,500 people, to attack Nisha Town overnight.When approaching Nisha Town, the flying crow was startled, which aroused He Long's vigilance.

After He Long heard the gunshot, he said to He Jinzhai: "The enemy tonight is not kind, and it seems that they want to fight us to the death. We should use a small force to contain the enemy so that the large force can be transferred." At this point, He Long was decisive. Said, "Wenxiu, you lead the large troops to retreat quickly, and I will lead the guard battalion to break up." Before He Long finished speaking, He Jinzhai immediately said: "Commander, no, you shoulder the heavy responsibility, and I will take on the task of blocking the enemy." .” After He Jinzhai said it, regardless of whether He Long agreed or not, he immediately pulled the guard battalion out. When it came to this matter, you couldn't allow you to fight over each other, so He Long led the large army back towards Sangzhi Simao Ridge.

Seeing that He Long had left with a large army, He Jinzhai led the team on a hill outside Nisha Town and concentrated light and heavy firepower to meet the night attacking enemy.In the middle of the night, Luo Xiaozhi couldn't figure out how many He Long had, so he had to order the soldiers to shoot, and the battle was fierce. The two sides fought fiercely for about two hours, but Luo Xiaozhi's regiment defense and Chen Jiayou's soldiers were still unable to break into Nisha Town.But most of the people in the guard battalion also died. He Jinzhai reckoned that He Long had gone far away with the team, so he ordered to retreat. At this moment, a bullet flew in and hit He Jinzhai's chest. Immediately, the hero's blood gushed out, and he closed his eyes for a moment.The Communist Party member who had accompanied He Long in the Southern and Northern Wars when he cut the salt bureau from Bamao River was only 27 years old when he died.After He Jinzhai's death, all the comrades in the guard battalion were deeply saddened, and some even cried out "Mr. He".This situation was discovered by the enemy. Among the enemy group, someone shouted: "He Long was killed!"

Good guy, this voice is really powerful. When those enemies heard that He Long had been beaten to death, they all roared and rushed over, trying to snatch He Long's body and make a fortune.The enemy was so strong that the soldiers retreated hastily.The soldiers carrying He Jinzhai's body were knocked down by enemy bullets within a short distance. It was too late for the soldiers to take back the body of the martyr. The enemy soldiers had already snatched He Jinzhai's body away. When Luo Xiaozhi heard that He Long had been killed, he was overjoyed and decided to conduct an autopsy. At this time, it was dawn, and Luo Xiaozhi arrived in Nisha Town and lived in the high-rise compound of a local tyrant.This local tyrant is called Zhang Fugui. When He Long's troops entered the mud, Zhang Fugui ran away. After Luo Xiaozhi's troops took over the mud, he ran back early in the morning. Naturally, he gave Luo Xiaozhi a warm welcome.After Luo Xiaozhi sat down in the courtyard, he ordered the left and right: "Bring up He Long's body."

After Luo Xiaozhi finished speaking, he loaded a bag of hookah, and just took a couple of puffs when four regiments took He Jinzhai's body to the courtyard.Looking at He Jinzhai's body, Luo Xiaozhi laughed and said, "He Long, He Long, everyone says you are a dragon, but I see you as a worm, others see you as a god, and I see you as a piece of silver. How are you doing today?" What about your two kitchen knives? What about your commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising?" When Luo Xiaozhi said this, Zhang Fugui flattered and said: "No matter how powerful Monkey King is, he can't escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha."

Luo Xiaozhi said to the surrounding people: "Brothers, I caught He Long today, and I can't treat you badly. Each person rewards Dayang with 2...20 yuan." As soon as Luo Xiaozhi said this, the group members scolded in their hearts, and they didn't even vent their anger. They circled their stomachs one by one, saying that if you catch He Long, you will reward Luo Xiaozhi with 100,000 yuan, and you only give us 20 yuan. , is really not a thing.The group members murmured in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out, because Luo Xiaozhi was powerful and could not be provoked. After Luo Xiaozhi finished laying out the score, he left the grand master's chair. He wanted to see He Long's appearance for himself. Before he saw it, Luo Xiaozhi ordered someone to fetch a seat. What did he do?Standing on top of the corpse is said to cover the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars. Otherwise, if the corpse borrows the energy of the three lights, it can return the sun.After the subordinates brought the mats, the four regiments set up the mats to cover the sun.Luo Xiaozhi just walked up to He Jinzhai's body, stretched out his hand and lifted the white cloth covering the body, took a closer look, his small eyes blinked away, and he murmured in his heart: "No, where is He Long? He Long It doesn't look like this!" He murmured in his heart, and the joy he had just now died down, and he took a closer look, and then he recognized that the corpse in front of him was He Jinzhai, did Luo Xiaozhi know He Jinzhai?Yes, back then, Luo Xiaozhi also served as squad leader in He Long's army for a few days, and met He Jinzhai's face.At that moment, Luo Xiaozhi looked at the corpse over and over again, stomped his feet, and said, "Damn it, you didn't catch He Long, you caught He Jinzhai!" From the change in Luo Xiaozhi's face, the group members around Luo Xiaozhi knew that it was not He Long who had been caught, and they were cut off like a blown urine fat, discouraged, and liked it for a while. Seeing Luo Xiaozhi's displeasure, Zhang Fugui flattered and said, "Tuan Zuo killed He Jinzhai, and Tuan Zuo's contribution is not small. He Jinzhai is also the leader of the red head, and He Long's arm." Luo Xiaozhi nodded and said: "If He Jinzhai is killed, Nanjing will have to pay tens of thousands, that's fine." Then, he shouted loudly, "Come here, cut off He Jinzhai's head, soak it in lime water, and give it to me." Send it to Changsha to ask for credit, and then hang He Jinzhai’s body on the flagpole of the Guandi Temple in the county town, so that those poor people can see the fate of being a Communist Party, and also shake the prestige of our security team!" The regiment immediately took the chopping axe, chopped off He Jinzhai's head, threw it into the lime water, and hurriedly sent it to Changsha.He Jinzhai's body was transported to Shimen County and hung on the flagpole in front of Guandi Temple. It's a pity that the heroic tiger general was murdered after his death.Later generations have poems sighing: He Jinzhai was punished by the party when he was reorganizing in Luoyu before his death.It can be seen from the "Report of He Long to the Central Committee in September 1928" preserved by the Central Archives that the reason for the punishment was that He Jinzhai had different views on the central government's instructions on killing landlords and burning their houses. The decision at that time was made under the line of "Left" blind activism. Practice has proved that He Jinzhai's opinion is correct, and the punishment of He Jinzhai by He Long and the former committee is also correct under that specific environment.It should be said that He Jinzhai is a thoughtful general of the Red Army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Sangzhi County Committee of the Communist Party of China reburied the martyrs' loyal bones and built the martyrs' tomb. Lishui Song Xiaguang has already illuminated the earth; the waves wash away the sand and the revolutionary waves are higher than the sky. The news that Luo Xiaozhi beat He Jinzhai to death in Nisha Town quickly reported to Changsha and Nanjing.The newspapers of both places carried the news in prominent positions: The Communist Party's general He Jinzhai was shot to death in the sand!Xiangxi has one dragon and one tiger, the tiger dies in the sand, and the dragon enters the shallows.Luo Xiaozhi was rewarded with 50,000 silver for his meritorious service in killing He Jinzhai, and was promoted to brigade commander. After Luo Xiaozhi took advantage of Nisha Town, the Kuomintang reactionaries knew that He Long was alone, and immediately dispatched troops to step up the "encirclement and suppression" of the Fourth Red Army.
