Chapter 28 Sixth, the enemy is now, and the red regime has entered the most difficult stage

A few years later, Wan Xiang, a female cadre of the Red Army who served as the deputy secretary of the Xingguo County Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, recalled that scene to the author in the small living room of her home: At that time, the white army's occupation was very fast. Ningdu, Guangchang, Ruijin, and parts of Xingguo all had intruders.Wanxiang helped Lai Yueming carry his luggage and rushed from Ruijin to Xingguo.In order to prevent accidents, they walked around the bend for two days and two nights. On the way, Lai Yueming didn't say a word, but shed tears so gloomyly.

Wan Xiang took Lai Yueming's arm and walked, her steps were as heavy as lead. Copying the mountain road, they crossed the Wuyan Rock at the junction of Ruijin and Xingguo, passed through Changshan and Caohu, and they came to the dry field post. The children's regiment on duty at the Hantian outpost decided that they were deserters, yelled and yelled all the way, and escorted them to the District Committee of Jie Village. The Jiecun District Committee had received Chen Yi's order to immediately accept the two lesbians, which greatly disappointed a group of children's league members who thought they were done.Wan Xiang's heart fell to the ground like a stone.She handed Lai Yueming, who was slumped and exhausted like a pool of mud, to the comrades of the Jie Village District Committee, and then, as planned, she left quietly while Lai Yueming was asleep...

Jiecun was soon occupied by the White Army. Lai Yueming followed the Jiecun District Committee to the Soviet Area in the southeastern part of Xingguo County.According to the instructions of the superiors: the Soviet Area in the southeastern part of Xingguo and the Soviet Area in the southwest of Shengli County were merged to form Xingsheng County. The Xingsheng County Party Committee and the County Soviet Government have just been established.Not long after the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee's order arrived, Jiang Youzong was appointed Secretary of the County Party Committee, Zhou Zhengfang was appointed Deputy Secretary... Lai Yueming was appointed Minister of Women.At the same time, the Xingsheng Independent Battalion was established, with battalion commander Chen Yinsheng.

That is to say, in the tense toss and turns, she woke up from the great pain caused by leaving her relatives, devoted herself to work with revolutionary enthusiasm, and forgot her own pain as much as possible. The struggle is gradually entering its most difficult stage. After several twists and turns, the Xingsheng County Party Committee finally stationed in Xianxia Temple in Yudu. After that, it will be a decentralized and independent activity.The superior assigned me to be responsible for the revolutionary organization work in the Fenkeng area. One day, I hurried back to Fenkeng from the county party committee, where a key team was waiting for me to assign work.As soon as I walked to the bank of the Fenkeng River, several Red Army soldiers on horseback chased me up at full speed.

"Lai-yue-ming--" a red soldier wearing a short gun in front suddenly shouted loudly. Thinking that it was Chen Yi who came, my heart suddenly jumped wildly.I tried my best to answer and greeted him desperately. When the person approached, I finally saw clearly that the person was a classmate surnamed Huang from the party school in the past. Now he is a special commissioner of the provincial party committee and is in charge of liaison between the army and the local area. "Comrade Lai Yueming, hello!" Special Commissioner Huang rolled off his horse in sweat and held my hands: "We came from Xunwu. Comrade Zhu Aimin, secretary of the Xingsheng County Party Committee, said you were here. Comrade Lai Yueming, Come with us. Let's go to see your lover, you don't know, your lover can walk." "Really, he can walk now, where is he? He agreed for me to visit him and walk with him?" I widened my eyes, and there was a strange brilliance in them. "He is still in southern Jiangxi, and the last part of the comrades will be evacuated." Commissioner Huang bit his lip when he said this, and then said after a while: "Of course, I didn't ask Chen Yi for permission beforehand. The main force of the Red Army is gone. , now we have no one to rely on. You should go with us, and I will bear all the responsibilities. I will not be shot." Looking at the distant mountains, my chest rose and fell sharply.I know that every day is the time of life and death. This is an opportunity that cannot be met. If I give up this opportunity, maybe there will be no chance again.In the distant mountains, there is a yellow celestial body, and the shadow of a bird moves little by little.I thought of Chen Yi's stern attitude at the time of parting.

"Get on the horse and go, why hesitate at this time!" Lao Huang and other soldiers urged. "Old Comrade Huang, thank you! I, I really want to go with you, but I can't. This is by no means a question of who should be shot or not. This is the party's discipline." I figured out what to do, yes Lao Huang said quietly: "Please tell Chen Yi that I will work hard here. Thank you, Comrade Lao Huang, thank you all!" Commissioner Huang was stunned for a while, then got on his horse helplessly.He whipped his whip, and the horse neighed and spread its hooves. "Hey—Old Huang, come back, come back." I suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly.

Commissioner Huang hurriedly rode back. He thought I had changed my mind: "Well, let's go, let's go together." I took out a pair of new cloth shoes from my backpack and solemnly stuffed them into Commissioner Huang's hands: "Old Huang, please give it to Chen Yi. I made it when I found time. He likes wearing cloth shoes very much. I made them for him." The second pair, I wish him to fight all over the world wearing these cloth shoes, and strive for the early success of the revolution. Goodbye, Comrade Huang!" "Goodbye—" Commissioner Huang saluted solemnly, and then walked with several soldiers without looking back. gallop away.In the blink of an eye, their shadows were covered by the vast forest...

My worst fears happened.On the evening of the second day when I met Commissioner Huang, I lost contact with the organization. That morning, I went to a village and appeased five soldiers who had fled the Nationalist army armed with guns.They were arrested and fled back, determined to swear against the reactionaries. That day, in order to welcome them back from the White Army deserters, the revolutionary activists in the village slaughtered a cow and entertained these exhausted men.Although we have been busy all day, we are very happy in our hearts. This is the first time I have laughed out loud since leaving Chen Yi.

In the evening, I dragged my tired body back to Xianxia Temple, where the Xingsheng County Party Committee is located.From a distance, I saw the gate of the temple on the hillside open, and the situation was not good. I thought, my heart was pounding, and I rushed up to see that there was no one inside, there were messy footprints everywhere, and there were wet blood on the ground. In the middle of the wall, someone wrote two prominent characters with black charcoal: "Run away!" At this moment, a shot rang out in the woods outside.Then there was a loud gunshot, mixed with hoarse screams.

I was taken aback, turned around and ran away in a hurry.I didn't know how long I ran, but I couldn't hold on anymore, and I fell into a pile of reeds. The gunshots from the county party committee resident disappeared. The wilderness is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.The surroundings were deathly silent, except for occasional owls hooting horribly. Hunger and terror surrounded me, a helpless Communist. Based on the experience of previous struggles, a terrible reality has been confirmed, which is what Commissioner Huang said: the main force of the Red Army has completely left, and the White Army has occupied all the revolutionary base areas.The white terror has spread, and perhaps, I will completely lose contact with the party organization.

Thinking of this, I burst into tears with a loud bang. The next day, when the sky turned white, I was woken up by the cold dew, and got up with support.I looked around to find the direction, because I was cold and hungry, I ran quickly, and when it was just dawn, I entered a natural village called Datangbei, where I had an aunt who was married in the early years. "Tut Tuk, Tuk Tuk—" Taking advantage of the lack of people in the early morning, I gently knocked on the door of my aunt's house.My aunt's name is Aunt Man.I opened the door sleepily, and when I saw it was me, I was so frightened that I couldn't speak for a long time. I walked into the house awkwardly.Aunt Man and Aunt Man are a very diligent and stingy village woman. She has a son who goes out to work as a long-term worker, and there is a blind daughter-in-law who can only do odd jobs in the corner of the stove.It can be seen that my aunt's words and deeds show that she cares about a mouth that can eat suddenly breaking into the family. A few days later, Bai Gouzi's bayonet began to poke at every household in the village.Notices with all kinds of big seals are posted everywhere, and the news of losing his head fills every housing estate.Aunt Man turned her face naturally.Her flat mouth spat out very reasonable words: "Get out of this threshold, niece, I beg you, don't invite the beheaded ghost in." Driven by her, as an unwelcome person, I blushed and had nothing to say, my heart was numb.In the dead of night that night, I took advantage of the dark night to leave Datangbei. Like a wild beast being hunted down, day and night I was hiding in the village, in the wilderness, in the mountains and forests, wandering around... One day, I was dizzy with hunger, and suddenly saw a piece of meat on the side of the road on a valley trail.Feeling overjoyed, I picked up the meat and prepared to roast it.After sniffing, I felt a peculiar smell, and suddenly remembered: This is the poison bait set by the hunter to medicine the beast.Surprised, I immediately dropped the meat in my hand, and after a while I picked up the meat again.In the face of danger and desperation that may arise at any time, I said silently to the distance: Chen Yi, my lord, do you know that I will stand up to you and the Communist Party, as long as the reactionaries catch me and persecute me, I swallowed it in one gulp...
