Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Four

After the Fourth Red Army was defeated in the sand, the Kuomintang reactionaries took the opportunity to dispatch troops to step up the "encirclement and suppression" of the Fourth Red Army. The people who participated in the "encirclement and suppression" from time to time included: Shimen Luoxiao's security brigade, Zhou Aizi's security regiment, Zhu Scarzi's security The regiment, the Guizhou warlord Li Xin's regiment, and some miscellaneous bandits, about tens of thousands, rushed to the Fourth Red Army with banners and shouts, and wanted to wipe out He Long's troops in one fell swoop.

Luo Xiaozhi and other tens of thousands of tiger and wolf soldiers chased after Sang Zhi, and immediately blocked all the intersections of Sang Zhi, preventing the common people from passing through. The Fourth Red Army could not gain a foothold, so it had to withdraw to the mountains in western Hubei.The common people in the mountains in western Hubei were already living in poverty, lacking clothing and food. How could there be food and rice for the Red Army?The Red Army had no supplies, so they had to eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and use thatched knotted clothes to keep out the cold.At this time, except for those who fled, scattered, and fell behind, there were only more than two hundred people left in the Fourth Red Army.These two hundred people followed He Long in the deep mountains. Because there was no salt, many people suffered from night blindness. There are few villages in the mountains, so they had to camp in caves or in the open air. In a short period of time, they were transferred to 23 places, which was extremely difficult.

On this day, He Long led his troops to Suolong Mountain. There is a Suolong Cave in Suolong Mountain, surrounded by tall trees and bamboo bushes.The cave is very big, and more than 200 people went in, but it was still empty.After entering the cave, it was dark, everyone lit the torches, looked for no wild animals, found some weeds, and lay down indiscriminately. Due to day and night fighting, crossing mountains and ridges, the commanders and fighters had no food to eat and no clothes to cover the cold. All of them were very weak, and the cave was filled with the sound of coughing.Lying in this cold cave, He Long couldn't sleep, and the scenes after returning to Xiangxi floated in his mind.

It has been nearly 10 months since I arrived at Hongjiaguan at the beginning of the year. During the 10 months, the pulling team went up and down three times. Good comrades such as Huang Ao, He Jinzhai, and Zhong Shenwu died one after another.Although he fought some victories, he lost many battles in the end, and now he is driven into the deep mountains and old forests by the enemy army. He wants to eat and drink, eat and sleep in the open, how can he go on like this?When Zhou Yiqun left, he urged to build a team with poor people as the backbone. How to build it?I had never done it before, and Zhou Yiqun was not around.As he thought about it, he felt bored, so he got up outside the cave, stood under a towering tree, looked at the cold stars all over the sky, and felt the cold wind blowing again.He couldn't help thinking of the sentinel, it must be very cold at this time, so he walked towards the sentry.When he arrived at the sentry post, he looked left and right, but there was no one there. When he looked carefully, he saw a gun hanging on a tree, but the sentry was gone. At this moment, He Long knew in his heart that the sentry couldn't stand the pain, so he put down the gun and left. up.He Long picked up the gun, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He felt very sad, because these days, people escaped almost every day. When He Long's heart was churning, he suddenly heard "Ba Ba" in Suolong Cave. There was a gunshot, and then several people ran out of the cave. After the gunshot, there was a commotion in the cave. He Longzheng didn't know what happened, and several people ran to He Long. The person at the head shouted: "Wu Yunqing! What happened?"

Before He Long finished speaking, Wu Yunqing raised his hand and shot He Long. He Long tilted his head, and the bullet flew past his ears.At this time, another group of people ran from the cave and captured Wu Yunqing and those people. He Long saw through the light of the fire that those people all came out from Sang Zhi with him. When they saw He Long, they immediately panicked. Terrified, they knelt down to He Long one by one. He Long said: "Get up!" None of those people got up and continued to kneel there. At this point, He Long understood why these people couldn't afford to kneel down.Then he said, "How do I treat you?"

Several people said together: "The army commander treats us with kindness to our parents." He Long asked again: "In that case, why do you want to kill me?" A man named Zhu Bingzhang said: "This...report to the army commander. We came out of Sangzhi and wanted to make a fortune with the army commander. Unexpectedly, after following the army commander for 10 months, many brothers were killed. This is not counted. Calling Hit them, hit them in the deep mountains and old forests, whether you want to eat or drink." Zhu Bingzhang pointed at Wu Yunqing and said, "Wu Yunqing's plan is to kill the army commander and everyone will get rich. Well, after the commander fell asleep, he shot the commander's black gun. Wu Yunqing said that this is the Suolong Cave. The commander violated the place name, so he happened to do it. Unexpectedly..." Zhu Bingzhang stopped talking, kowtowed and said, "Look at the commander Show mercy."

At this moment, Wang Bingnan took out his gun and shot at Wu Yunqing.It was too late to say, but it was so fast, at the moment when Wang Bingnan's gun fired, He Long raised his arm, and the bullet flew into the air. He Long said: "Stop!" Wang Bingnan said angrily: "They dare to kill the army commander, I will kill them!" The soldiers around were also furious, and shouted angrily: "Kill the dog to death!" He Long yelled: "Shut up!" Seeing that everyone was silent, He Long said: "They came with me because they wanted to make a fortune, but I brought them to this deep mountain and old forest to suffer hardships. They don't understand why Enduring hardships, complaining that I fell for me and wanted to kill me to make a fortune, it’s not their fault.” Speaking of this, He Long said to Wu Yunqing and others, “You all get up, I, He Long, don’t blame you, how many times have you followed me? Ordinarily, I should give you some money, but right now, I, He Long, don’t even have a single copper plate on me. Take the gun with you and save it for self-defense on the road. After you go back, you must learn well. When you want to go back, I will He Long welcomes."

When He Long talked about these times, Wu Yunqing and the others all cried.This cry came from the bottom of my heart.Wu Yunqing cried: "Commander, we are ignorant. One mistake almost killed the commander. I, we will not return. We will die with the commander." After Wu Yunqing finished speaking, those people also firmly stated that they would not leave. He Long helped them up: "You have been away from home for 10 months, and your wives and children are thinking about you, so go back and have a look. Wait for me, He Long, to turn around and lead the team When you call back to Sangzhi, you can come to me again." He Long said to Wu Yunqing again, "After you go back to Sangzhi, if you see my sister, tell her that everything is fine here, and let her rest assured."

When Wu Yunqing saw that He Long had reached this level, he knelt down again, kowtowed to He Long, and then went down the mountain with tears in his eyes. After Wu Yunqing and others left, He Long gathered the troops and said: "Comrades, the enemy is now surrounding us, and it's winter, and we lack food and clothing, making it difficult to move. It seems that we will eat wild vegetables this winter. If there are those who are willing to leave me, leave voluntarily, and those who are willing to stay, they are ready to continue to endure hardships with me." When He Long said this, most people expressed that they wanted to share the joys and sorrows with He Long, and some people, unable to bear this hard life, left the team.

A few days later, there were only 92 members left in this Red Army team, with 72 long and short guns. Because this place is named Yanya, history calls this reorganization "Yanya reorganization".After the reorganization, it seemed that there were fewer people, but all of these 92 people were sincerely involved in the revolution with He Long. He Long organized the 92 people into 9 classes.Each class has members of the Communist Party and the Communist Youth League, and the regiment and battalion commanders have become squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. The Hunan-Hubei Front Enemy Committee of the Communist Party of China was reorganized, with He Long as the secretary, and Chen Xieping, Zhang Yiming, Wang Yifu, Luo Tongtong, and Li Liangyao as members.

Chen Xieping, also known as Ye Ping, was born in Changde, Hunan Province. He was a veteran party member during the Great Revolution and served as the Propaganda Director of the Xiangxi Special Committee. Zhang Yiming, a native of Cili, joined the party during the Great Revolution and was once the head of the Cili party organization. Wang Yifu is a native of Linli, Hunan. He once led the riots in Shimen Nanxiang and Linli, and served as the secretary of the Linli County Party Committee. Luo Tongtong, Huang Pusheng, a party member during the Great Revolution, once acted as the head of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army. This front committee team is very strong, everyone has firm beliefs, strong will, endures hardships and stands hard work, and is extremely alert. After the reorganization of the Fourth Red Army, it left Suolong Cave and moved to a place called Meiyanping.Here, the mountains are high and the valleys are dangerous, the forests are dense and the grass is deep, and there are almost no people around. The troops stopped beside a stone cave. At this time, the mountains were covered with snow and lingering, so everyone pulled some thatch to keep out the cold, and looked for some wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Seeing that his straw sandals were broken, He Long found some brown ropes and opened the straw sandals. The soldier was smoking his pipe with his mouth in his mouth. When He Long saw it, he was overjoyed.It turned out that He Long's addiction to smoking was very strong. He hadn't smoked since he entered the mountain. Now that he saw someone smoking, his addiction to cigarettes came up again. He walked over immediately, grabbed the pipe from the soldier, and said with a smile "There are such good cigarettes, why are you the only one who smokes them?" After speaking, he took a deep puff, and before he finished the puff, he spit it out with choking, and the snot and tears flowed out together.It turned out that the pipe was not filled with smoke, but bitter leaves. He Long's move made everyone laugh. At this time, some soldiers lit a fire, and everyone sat around the fire, warming themselves by the fire, and gossiping, someone said: "Commander, tell me a story." He Long glanced at everyone and said, "Let me read a poem to everyone." When He Long said this, everyone was stunned. Why?We all know that He Long hasn't studied much, so how can he write poetry?They all looked at He Long, who added some charcoal to the fire, and read slowly: After He Long finished reading the poem, everyone lowered their heads, why? Because this poem was written by He Jinzhai.Jin Zhai had read it to everyone many times before his death. Now, when He Long read this poem, everyone naturally thought of the dead again, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while, and some tears rolled out of their eyes. He Long looked at everyone and said : "Comrades, we are currently encountering difficulties. The Kuomintang reactionaries have surrounded us with heavy troops, and the severe cold and hunger threaten us. But I don't think this is difficult. Compared with my two kitchen knives chopping the salt bureau, there are several times more people. There are several times more guns." At this point, he said with twinkling eyes, "At present, it's freezing cold, without food and drink. It's not terrible. It's not terrible that the reactionaries are besieged by heavy troops. The most terrible thing is that we have lost contact with the party. After I arrived in Xiangxi, I have not received any instructions from the party for several months." Wang Bingnan said: "People should be sent down the mountain to get in touch with the party organization." He Long said: "Let's hold a meeting with the front committee to see who is suitable." On that night, the front committee held a meeting. He Long said: "Leaving the leadership of the higher party is like a kite with a broken string. This thread must be connected." At the meeting, the front committee members discussed repeatedly, and unanimously agreed that Lu Dongsheng went down to Changde and Shashi to find party organizations, report on his work, and ask for instructions. Early the next morning, Lu Dongsheng set off. Before leaving, He Long handed him a pair of straw sandals and a few dollars. Lu Dongsheng said, "Commander, I will take the straw sandals with you. Keep the money. You need it more." After Lu Dongsheng finished speaking, he turned around and strode down the mountain. When Lu Dongsheng came to Deshan, he saw Kuomintang soldiers and regimental guards everywhere in Daoka along the way.Thanks to his cleverness and quickness, he fought in western Hunan for another 10 months. He was familiar with the path in this valley and understood the people's conditions. I just felt hungry and exhausted. When I looked up, I saw a small cottage in the forest at the foot of the mountain, a few cottages, half-covered and half exposed. Lu Dongsheng wanted to find something to eat in the village, so he walked towards the village. At the edge of the stockade, I saw a woman pushing a mill, which was elm bark. The woman was about 40 years old, and her face was the color of dried vegetable leaves. , and there is no inn, I beg my sister-in-law to give me something to eat." The woman heard Lu Dongsheng speak, raised her head, looked Lu Dongsheng up and down a few times, dropped the broom in her hand, and hurried away.Lu Dongsheng was in a daze when he heard the sound of a gong in the village: "Catch the bandits!" Lu Dongsheng knew it was wrong, so he ran away, and ran into the dense forest on the mountain, and heard shouts from the village. How did the pushing women recognize that Lu Dongsheng was a Communist?There is something hidden here.Since the Fourth Red Army was trapped in the Sanghe Mountain, Chen Cexun, Zhu Scar, Luo Xiaozhi, Zhou Aizi, and the regular army of the Kuomintang have set up a series of villages in this mountain, large and small, and established regulations. , One family is connected with the Communist bandits, and ten families are wiped out; ten families are connected with the Communist bandits, killing the whole village.The small cottage that Lu Dongsheng walked into was called Yunquetai, a mountain villa at the junction of the two counties of Sanghe. When the woman saw that she was a stranger, she became frightened, and hurriedly went home and reported to her husband, who then told all the neighbors, everyone was afraid to be punished as a communist, so they beat the gong and shouted "catch the communist", but After all, the hearts of the poor are kind, everyone yelled for a while, and when they saw Lu Dongsheng run away, they stopped chasing him. Lu Dongsheng had a false alarm and did not dare to enter the village. He was so hungry that there was no way out, so he had to find some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. At night, he squatted in the corner of the mountain and was still half asleep.One is against bandits, and the other is against wild animals.Originally, during this period of time, his body was about to fall apart, and with such a toss, he was even more out of shape.A cotton robe was ripped off from an old local tyrant when he was beating the local tyrant. It was originally made of blue satin with large clusters of flowers, and the trousers were sewn by himself after the homemade cloth was dyed. Rolling around on the mountain, it was scratched left and right by thorns and branches, full of holes, the cotton was exposed, and it was covered with lice. In order to prevent the cold, he tied a hemp rope around his waist. I haven't washed it for more than a month, and my hair is a few inches long in a mess. If I want to get a dog-beating stick, a begging bucket, and no makeup, I will look like a beggar. Lu Dongsheng wandered around the mountains for another three days and three nights. On the third day, there were small snowflakes in the sky again, and the north wind blew in gusts. His stomach growled and his eyes turned black. Lu Dongsheng thought it was bad. If I didn’t try to eat something, I might not be able to get out of this mountain. It doesn’t matter if I die. The army commander and the others are still waiting. Where is my letter?he thought.Leaning under an old pine tree, he looked around. At this time, it was getting dark, and he looked into the distance, and saw a shadow of an independent house at the top of the mountain, and a puff of cooking smoke curled up from the roof. After thinking about it, Lu Dongsheng judged the surroundings of this independent house, and thought: "The people who live here are either hunters or mountain watchers. They must be poor." Thinking, Lu Dongsheng staggered along the mountain path. When he came to the single room, he saw that the door was closed and the lights were on inside. Lu Dongsheng looked through the window and saw an old man, surrounded by charcoal fire, eating roasted sweet potatoes. The villain knocked lightly on the door, and the old man in the house asked, "Who is it?" Lu Dongsheng said: "Old man, I am a businessman. I was robbed by bandits. I haven't eaten for three days. I beg you, old man, to give me a bowl of food. Help me." He said in his mouth, "there's really nothing to do these days. The army is in chaos." He opened the door. The old man glanced at Lu Dongsheng, saw that Lu Dongsheng was trembling all over, sighed and said, "Come into the house, a stranger like you, except me, an old man who dares to touch you, if you go to the village, the security team will immediately arrest you." Captured." After Lu Dongsheng entered the house, he saluted the old man.The old man poured a bowl of hot water from the crock, handed over a piece of roasted sweet potato, and said, "Eat it while it's hot." When Lu Dongsheng saw the hot sweet potato, he ate up the roasted sweet potato in three mouthfuls. The old man handed him another piece, and two pieces of hot sweet potato fell into his belly. Then Lu Dongsheng cheered up and asked, "Old man, I haven't asked you yet." The old man is famous!" The old man said: "People in the mountains and fields don't have names." Lu Dongsheng asked again: "You are so old, why did you come here alone?" The old man sighed: "I was sent to support missions. The regiment defense team said they wanted to catch He Long and set up checkpoints everywhere, so I was sent here." The old man raised his eyebrows, "Then He Long is also easy to catch? He is not a human, but a dragon, a real dragon descended from the sky, reincarnated to save the suffering." Lu Dongsheng said, "Old man, have you met He Long?" The old man said: "I don't have that kind of blessing. I have never met He Long, but I have heard that someone has given him a "horoscope", saying that he is a lucky general, just like Cheng Yaojin in the Tang Dynasty. If you are in trouble, someone must escort you." The old man said, squinting his eyes, looking at the stars outside the window and said, "He Long is the reincarnation of the twenty-eight mansion kang golden dragon in the sky, not a mortal." When the old man was talking, Lu Dongsheng felt as if his whole body was falling apart, his eyelids were also astringent, and he fell asleep leaning against the wall.Seeing that Lu Dongsheng was asleep, the old man woke him up and said, "Young man, lie down and sleep at ease. The old man will call you, and no one will come to arrest you." When the old man said this, Lu Dongsheng understood that the old man had already guessed his origin, concluded that the old man was a good person, so he lay down on the straw bunk and fell asleep peacefully.Sleep until sunrise three poles.After waking up, the old man had already cooked corn porridge, and Lu Dongsheng drank two more bowls of hot porridge. Immediately, he felt endless energy all over his body. He took out a piece of light from his body and said, "Old man, I Let’s go, it’s a little bit of my heart to leave this Guangyang to you, old man.” Seeing that Lu Dongsheng left the money, the old man turned his face down and said, "Put the money away. If my old man asked for money, I would have arrested you long ago. As soon as you entered the door, I decided that you belonged to He Long. I am old. My eyes are dazzled, but I understand in my heart that He Long is for the sake of the poor. He does not want to be a high-ranking official. When you see He Long, you must say hello to my old man." After hearing what the old man said, he was very moved. He said, "Old man, I will definitely tell you what you say." Afterwards, Lu Dongsheng bid farewell to the old man and strode down the mountain. Lu Dongsheng walked for another three days. At noon that day, a small village appeared in front of him. Although he had already walked out of the enemy's encirclement, he still didn't dare to be careless.He came to the edge of the stockade, hid in the grass, watched the movement, and saw not far from him, two women were shaking grass seeds, singing softly while shaking, because the wind was favorable, the two women sang Lu Dongsheng could hear the words clearly, at first he didn't pay attention to them, but when he listened, he froze. It turned out that the two women sang a little tune from Xiangxi: When Lu Dongsheng heard this, for some reason, his nose became sour, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Now Commander He Long is surrounded in the mountains, and the Kuomintang reactionaries are suppressing the revolutionary masses like that, and the common people still feel so deeply. I miss He Long so much, it can be seen that He Long's name has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." Lu Dongsheng thought, then walked over and said: "Second elder sisters, I am a passerby, I am hungry, and I want to ask the two elder sisters for a bowl of food." When Lu Dongsheng appeared in such a way, the two women were startled at first, then slowly gathered their minds, and after looking at Lu Dongsheng seriously for a while, one said: "You wait here." After saying that, the woman got up and left After a while, he brought a large piece of glutinous rice cake made of grass seeds and corn noodles, handed it to Lu Dongsheng, and said, "We don't have anything delicious here, so you can take this glutinous rice cake to satisfy your hunger." Lu Dongsheng took it, thanked the two women, and continued walking forward.After Lu Dong gave birth to the enemy's encirclement, he wanted to go to Changde first, but he thought that He Long was waiting in this severe winter, lacking clothing and food. Even if he found a party organization, the party organization would have no choice but to go to his elder sister He Ying first.He first went to Yulin Village, and then to Wangjiahe, Hefeng, and met with He Ying and others. When He Ying led the team to deal with the enemy in the Wangjiahe area of ​​Hefeng, several people who broke out with Man Gu returned to the team, and they brought the sad news that Man Gu was brutally killed by the enemy.When He Ying heard this, she was deeply saddened. Her father, husband, younger brother, relatives, and friends were killed by the enemy one by one. Now, her younger sister was killed by the enemy.The hatred of blood made her chest burn with the fire of hatred for the enemy.She also understood better that the enemy's killing of Mangu was a signal to raise the butcher's knife to the family members in the rear while the Red Army was away. These inhuman bandits can do anything bad. Therefore, He Ying further shouldered her responsibilities. In order to protect the descendants of the revolution, she resettled many family members of the Red Army soldiers.For the five children left by Mangu, He Ying made very careful arrangements. She was afraid that the enemy would wipe out the descendants of Mangu, so she took Mangu's eldest son Xiang Chusheng, second son Xiang Chuming, and fourth son Xiang Chuhan. She came out and stayed by her side. Later, she saw that Xiang Chusheng and Xiang Chuming were both of school age and couldn't keep following her in the mountains, so she sent the two children to Shanghai to go to school through the underground party organization.Xiang Chuhan stays around her.She has no children of her own, and regards these descendants of the Red Army as her own children. The "door girl" gave Yingzuiyan a piece of family name, leaving only Xiang Chucai, led by his father Xiang Shenghui. At this time, Liao Hansheng married He Wugu's daughter Xiao Liangliang. Liao Hansheng was born in a peasant family in Changrui Township, Sangzhi on November 4, 1911. When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, his father, Liao Maocai, named him "" Han Sheng".Liao Maocai was named Liao Lanxiang, and Maocai was his nickname.Liao Maocai is a man of culture. When he was studying in Changsha, he joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party.When Liao Hansheng was 5 years old, Liao Maocai returned to his hometown to run a school.When He Longshu raised the banner of Yuan Huguo's army, Liao Maocai went to He Long's army to do writing and writing for He Long, and the people called him "Master".With He Long as a matchmaker, Liao Hansheng and Xiao Liangliang made a baby marriage. When Liao Hansheng was 10 years old, Liao Maocai fell ill and died in He Long's army. Later, with the help of He Ying and He Wujie, Liao Hansheng entered high school.When He Long was serving as the town guard in Lizhou, He Long sent Liao Hansheng to Changde to study.Liao Hansheng studied in Changde for three years, met Teng Daiyuan, a member of the Communist Party, and came into contact with Marxism-Leninism. In the spring of 1927, when the great revolutionary storm swept across Hunan, Liao Hansheng returned to his hometown. Together with a few students in his hometown, he set up a peasant association.Later, the counter-revolutionary bloody winds blew from Shanghai to the provincial capital, and then to western Hunan. The Sangzhi Peasant Movement collapsed, Liao Hansheng and other students also broke up, and the regiment defense Liu Ziwei relied on more than a dozen guns under his command. , To punish Liao Hansheng, etc., Liao Hansheng couldn't stay at home anymore, so he joined He Ying's team.From then on, Liao Hansheng joined the army, picked up a knife and gun, and embarked on the road of armed resistance against the old system.When He Long returned to Hongjiaguan to organize the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, Liao Hansheng also joined the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. Later, He Long asked him to return to He Ying's side to work. A few days after Liao Hansheng married Xiao Liangliang, the enemy went to arrest Liao Hansheng and Xiao Gengen, and Liao Hansheng left after hearing the news.As a result, the regiment robbed Liao Hansheng's house of everything and threatened to kill Xiao Gengen, saying that Xiao Liangliang was the root of the He family and a spy of the Red Army.One day, the regiment defense team surrounded Liao's house again, and as a result, they mistakenly killed Zhu Lanxiang, the wife of Liao Changsheng, brother of Liao Hansheng.Seeing that Liao Hansheng and his wife couldn't make it at home, He Ying took him to him again. At that time, in He Ying's team, there were men and women, old and young, especially children, and there were more than a dozen tall and short.It is extremely difficult for such a large and complex team to survive for a long time under the enemy's continuous attack, and to carry out revolution and struggle.The measure He Ying took is that those who can hold guns can pick up guns, and they can fight when they want to fight.Therefore, all men, women, young and old in this team became combatants, organized into groups according to the requirements of the battle, and conducted strict military training at ordinary times. He Ying personally supervised the training, and taught the older ones how to ride horses and shoot guns.Therefore, in the team led by her, no matter adults or children, there is a martial spirit of fighting bravely. When He Ying led the team to station in Wujiahe, she left the cotton, cloth, and money marked with Haode. She thought of the lack of supplies for the commanders and fighters of the Fourth Red Army.By October of this year, a lot of supplies had been accumulated in her team. Lu Dongsheng came here and reported to He Ying that He Long and the Fourth Red Army were besieged in the mountains.After hearing this, He Ying immediately led people to look for the Fourth Red Army with horses carrying supplies. He Long led more than 90 backbones in the deep mountains. For two months, they ate wild vegetables, ferns, and no salt. All of them felt weak and weak in limbs.He Long wanted to move the troops out of the mountain, but it was snowing heavily, the wind was harsh, and everyone was naked, how could they move?Just have to wait for spring to bloom. Today, the weather is fine.He Long and several soldiers were setting up pheasants, when they suddenly saw a horse team approaching from a valley in the distance, with seven or eight horses and a dozen or so people.He Long thought to himself: Only Lu Dongsheng knew where the troops were transferred. Could it be that he defected to the enemy?Immediately, He Long denied his own thoughts. First, he knew that Lu Dongsheng had passed the test, even if he was smashed to pieces, he would not surrender to the enemy; second, if the enemy soldiers came to "encircle and suppress", it would not be just a dozen or so people. At the moment, He Long asked the soldiers to hide and observe the movements of the group of people in the valley.I saw the team of people gradually approaching, and suddenly, He Long shouted: "The eldest sister is here!" Wang Bingnan and others also shouted at almost the same time: "The eldest sister is here!" They shouted and greeted her together. It was He Ying who came, and He Ying personally led the troops to send charcoal to He Long's team. After He Long met with his sister, he was really grateful from the bottom of his heart when he saw that her sister had sent silver dollars, cloth, bullets, salt, etc. These materials are really needed and timely for the struggling Red Army. Seeing that He Long's soldiers were all yellow and thin, He Ying couldn't help his nose sore, but the tears in his eyes didn't fall, but he said with a smile: "Often, look at your dragon, now you are the monkey king." She Pointing at the soldiers, "Seeing how thin they are, they all look like monkeys. How do they fight?" He Long smiled and said: "Sister, don't underestimate this group of monkey soldiers. These monkey soldiers are all monkey spirits. If they are pulled out of the mountain, they can change into ten, ten into hundreds, hundreds of changes, thousands of changes, and become There are tens of thousands of monkey soldiers." He Long asked again, "Sister, how do you know I'm here?" He Ying told the story of Lu Dongsheng delivering the letter.After hearing this, He Long couldn't help nodding, secretly praising Lu Dongsheng. At that moment, the soldiers unloaded the silver dollars, bullets and cloth that He Ying had given them.He Long told his eldest sister about the defeat of the army. Seeing that the Red Army suffered such a serious setback, He Ying felt that he had not fulfilled his responsibility by just sending something.So she stayed and had a long talk with He Long. He Long said: "It has been eight or nine months since the Red Army was launched at Hongjiaguan in March. The team has experienced ups and downs and suffered several setbacks. Most people with impure motives are unreliable when they start a war. They are like a handful of beans in their hands, and they will disperse as soon as they let go. How to organize the team? It doesn’t work to use the same set during the Great Revolution, let’s use a new one. I haven’t joined the party for a long time, and I have too little experience. Everything is easy to handle, but the biggest difficulty is that we have lost contact with the party organization and have no confidence in our minds. Lu Dongsheng has been gone for almost a month, and I don’t know if he can connect with the party organization.” He Ying said: "Often, in the past, people used to follow you to get promoted and get rich, but now they bleed and work with you. What's the plan? You have to have something to tie people's hearts!" He Long said: "Sister, I have followed the Communist Party, shed my blood and worked my life for the poor, and only then have I thrown away my glory, wealth, and high salary." He Ying said: "That's right, you have to tell everyone these truths. You and Zhou Yiqun have both told me that if you have the Communist Party and the Communist Youth League in your team, you will have a skeleton. How many skeletons do you have in your team now?" He Long sighed and said, "It's just that I joined the party late, and I haven't mastered the Communist Party's method of dragging the army." He Ying said: "If you are not familiar with it, you can try it out slowly. You won't be able to make a big difference. For example, the gourd has a handle. In my opinion, the Communist Party and the Communist Youth League are the gourd handle.
