Chapter 29 7. The situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the revolution has been severely tested

On October 16, 1934, the main force of the Red Army crossed the Kudu River and began an unprecedented Long March. Staying in the Soviet area, the Red Army under the leadership of Chen Yi was the 24th Division, plus the 10 local armed regiments, there were about 30,000 people, including more than 10,000 wounded.It is simply impossible to compete with Chiang Kai-shek's 100,000 troops. Ruijin, the red capital, fell on November 10; Yudu fell on the 17th; Huichang fell on the 23rd... Most of the remaining Red Army was defeated by the White Army.Chen Yi's leg injury was still festering and inflamed. He was assisted to break out of the siege, and more than 600 Red Army troops including Xiang Ying came to Xinfeng Youshan and Dayu Meiling to carry out guerrilla warfare in the mountains.

In a blink of an eye, the "Chinese Soviet Republic" has become history. After leaving Aunt Man's house, I wandered in the wilderness like a ghost for more than half a month.Later, I suddenly remembered that I had a younger sister.One late night, I sneaked into Nanshan Village again like a night wandering god. In order to prevent accidents, I painted my face black with charcoal to look like a ghost, and carefully knocked on the window lattice of my sister Zhao Guizi. "Who?" There was a voice from inside.Zhao Guizi asked in a low voice alertly. "Sister, don't be afraid, I am your sister Yueming." I heard the voice of Zhao Guizi, and said tremblingly.

The door opened with a "squeak", and the two sisters, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, recognized each other and hugged each other tightly. This is also an out-and-out family member of the Red Army, and there is only one mistress in the house.Zhao Guizi's husband joined the Red Army very early, but this time he left with the main force. When I got to my sister, I finally had a place to live.However, rumors of the White Army's suppression and the liquidation of the Home Returning Corps are getting closer and closer day by day, and my heart is still hanging in the air all day long.

During this period, the rumors floating around were full of blood, and all the news was deified by the mouths of the country gentlemen. "All the Red Army was surrendered by Chairman Jiang's heavenly soldiers and generals...Zhu Mao put on the big shackles, and sacrificed to the ancestors of the Chiang family at Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang...The Chen Yi who was the military commander in Jiangxi was dug up Heart..." During the day, I lowered my head and said nothing, at night I cried with Zhao Guizi. In this small village with few households, we wept without scruple, and the cry echoed in the valley for a long time...

Soon, the gongs of the reactionary Jingwei regiment shattered all our dreams. On the way to go out in disguise to find the organization, the two of us were forced to a large lawn by the ghost-headed swords of the Jingwei regiment.There, a Communist Party member who was separated and seized by the reactionaries was tied to a thick pine tree. The person tied to the tree had his head bowed due to serious injuries, but I had sharp eyes and vaguely remembered that this comrade and I had sat on the same stool at a meeting of key members of the Communist Party. Amidst howling, the bearded executioner grinned ferociously, first cut off the hamstrings of the captured communist, and then cut off the cheek muscles piece by piece.Finally, with a sneer, he plunged the horn knife into his stomach and made a big cut.Lifting his foot and stepping on it, bloody liver popped out.The executioner swiftly cut off the foot with a knife and threw it far away. A column of blood was sprayed, and several hungry dogs rushed on it.

I screamed miserably, and was gagged by a kind-hearted man next to me.But he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell softly. Zhao Guizi was also sweating and hissing beside me, with eyes wide open in extreme fear... Another torture began. The Jingwei regiment fired several earth cannons in a demonstration. That is, on one side of the lawn, an old woman who had boiled tea for the Red Army was "divided by five horses".It was not horses that were used to dismember the body, but oxen that pulled the plow. The blood splashed all over the ground, but the old man was still yelling desolately: "God...open your eyes...the Communist Party, the Red Army...revenge me..." Another day, a wounded and sick Red Army He was dragged out of the cellar by the Jingwei regiment and pushed into a well-dug earth pit...

One day, a group of Kuomintang soldiers with live ammunition rushed into Nanshan Village. Under the guidance of the Jingwei Regiment, they surrounded Zhao Guizi's hut as if they were facing a formidable enemy.They yelled and grabbed Chen Yi's wife, and rushed towards her... That day, when we came back from picking wild vegetables in the back mountain, we were shocked when we saw this scene from a distance, dropped the bamboo basket, turned around and fled... In this way, the two sisters dispersed one by one.Since then, no one has returned to Nanshan Village, and they have never seen each other again.

Since then, the party organization has never looked for me, and I have been unable to find the party organization.
