Chapter 40 8. With the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, He Yi returned to the embrace of the party and saved Chen Yi from danger in Youshan

On July 7, 1937, the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" broke out, and on July 15, the KMT and the Communist Party reached a cooperation agreement. The guerrilla war in the South has finally passed the most difficult and difficult stage. On the morning of September 21, 1937, at the Zhonghua Hotel in Ganzhou. A woman dressed as a village girl, accompanied by Wang Xianxuan, He Sangou and others, walked through the hall and into the guest room. She took off the calico scarf, and it turned out to be He Yi.Xiang Ying and Chen Yi's eyes lit up, and they hurried forward, each holding her hand.At this time, the three of them were filled with emotions and mixed feelings. He Yi's throat choked up, tears welled up, and then she burst into tears, her shoulders shrugged, and she couldn't cry.

Xiang Ying and Chen Yi are people who have survived untold hardships. How can they not understand her mood, and want to comfort her, but they can't hold back their tears.On the other hand, Wang Xianxuan and He Sangou were fidgeting and coughing dryly. It was Chen Yi who came to his senses first, stroked He Yi's trembling shoulders, and said, "He Yi, these three years have been difficult for you. Comrade Mao Zetan's sacrifice hit you hard, but you persevered. In the struggle against the enemy , you acted very strong, now, we are all back in the arms of the party, we should be happy..." Xiang Ying pulled over a few bamboo chairs: "Come on, let's sit down and have a good talk." I stayed in the hotel for two days. In addition to reporting on the work of the underground party in Ganzhou, I also met Yang Shangkui and Fang Zhimin's widow, Miao Min, and others, and talked about the situation after the farewell. On September 24, Xiang Ying went to Nanchang and met with Gu Jianye, the representative of the Eighth Route Army's Changchang office; called Ye Jianying and Mao Zedong, reported the situation of guerrilla warfare in the south, and restored the direct leadership of the party; negotiated with the Jiangxi provincial government of the Kuomintang... He Yi followed Chen Yi went to Youshan to carry out the work of reorganizing guerrillas in the south.

Unexpectedly, during the period in Youshan, there was an anecdote-"He Yi operated on Chen Yi to cure his illness", this anecdote was widely spread among the guerrillas. Youshan is the highest mountain in Xinfeng County.The mountains are majestic, with high peaks and dense forests.It was the base of the Red Army's three-year guerrilla war in the south, and it was a place He Yi had wanted for a long time. She just wanted to take this opportunity to go around. Chen Yi knows: He Yi is talkative and active, and she handles things neatly, pungently and straightforwardly.It's just that there are too many poisonous snakes in Youshan, and it will be troublesome if a snake bites.Therefore, the story of Youshan is told along the way.He told He Yi: There are only earthen houses and grass sheds in Youshan, and the food and living environment are very difficult.Also specifically confessed, be careful at night to prevent insect bites and snake bites.

He Yi was bold, but was very afraid of snakes, so she couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Do snakes come out at night?" "There were snakes during the day and at night. In the past, we often went out to catch snakes at night." Chen Yi saw that He Yi was afraid. , a little proud, and recited the "Gannan Guerrilla Ci" written by himself: "It's almost noon, the hunger is like a drum, the food blockade has been in March, and there are enough rice in the bag, wild vegetables and boiled water. Sigh. Food, no meat in March, eating red bayberry in summer and peeling bamboo shoots in winter, busy hunting wild boars everywhere. Catching snakes is longer..." With this said, after He Yi arrived in Youshan, she became much more honest and did not dare to run around.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Yi was sleeping by himself, he was bitten by a mountain mosquito. For many years, living like a savage in the poor mountains, being bitten by mosquitoes is a common occurrence, and Chen Yi doesn't care about it.However, the weather has turned cooler, and the active mountain mosquitoes are big and poisonous.Sure enough, a few days later, the mosquito bite became red, swollen and festered, and a few days later, it developed into a large carbuncle. Chen Yi's leg was swollen as thick as a small bucket. Three years of guerrilla warfare, life and death, and all tests, what a strong person Chen Yi is.However, when he was in a daze with a high fever, he would groan from time to time.

The hygienist was called, and when he saw the symptoms, he said: "Oops, no, the problem is serious!" It turned out that this kind of carbuncle poison is very serious. If it is not done properly, the carbuncle poison will infect the blood and cause sepsis, which is life-threatening. The comrades were very anxious and called the hygienist: "Doctor, hurry up and treat it!" The hygienist also panicked and said: "How to treat it, and it can't be squeezed, or it will cause infection. It must be operated. How to sterilize the knife, and I don’t have any equipment. Besides, I have never learned how to operate a knife!” After saying this, everyone can only stare.At that time, there were no doctors in Youshan, and the health workers were just calling, but they were actually ordinary soldiers.He only knew that the problem was serious. Usually, it was okay to apply some liquid medicine and stick a plaster to the soldiers, and it was okay to rub the wounds. He had never even seen surgery.

At this moment, Chen Yi woke up from the pain.Hearing this, I was also a little anxious, and said: "How can there be no knife for the operation? Just use a murderous dagger and roast it on the fire to sterilize it." Everyone heard it, it makes sense, look at me, I Look at you, but no one dares to move forward, as this "two fools". "Then let me give it a try." He Yi saw that at the critical moment, the Communist Party member came, so let's be the fool.Everyone knows that she is Mao Zedong's sister-in-law, and she must be very skilled, so she helped make a fire, boil water, and found a shining dagger.He Yi tried the edge of the dagger, it was very sharp, and it was roasted on the flames. It was a little red, and came straight to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi, who was lying on the bed, was taken aback, and quickly sat up and asked, "Hey, can you?" "I haven't done it before, isn't it just a knife?" Medical common sense, if you say you can operate, you really can't.She said honestly: "Lie down!" Now, everyone in the room was dumbfounded: "It turns out that she can't either!" Chen Yi hesitated a little, and lay down.Said: "Come on, the big deal is death." However, the second half of the sentence did not come out. Due to suppuration, the skin on the carbuncle was already very thin. When the dagger passed, there was a light smoke, and pus and blood gushed out.After a while, a pot of water flowed out, which was fishy and smelly.Seeing that there was still pus in the incision, I dared not squeeze it because I was afraid of infection.

How to do it?He Yi looked at everyone, and everyone was looking at her.She looked at Chen Yi again, because Chen Yi hadn't been given anesthesia, his eyes were closed tightly, his teeth were gnashing loudly, sweat was pouring down, and he was stiffening with perseverance and pain. He Yi's heart felt hot, and before she had time to think about it, she picked up the bamboo tube containing boiled salt water beside her, took a sip, and rinsed her mouth.Everyone was baffled when they saw her leaning over, with her mouth sticking to the wound.People didn't understand what was going on, He Yi turned around and vomited a big mouthful of pus and blood, then leaned over to suck up the carbuncle, spit it out, sucked it up, and spit it out again... Everyone was stunned: how have you ever seen such a thing in the world? Doctor, such therapy!Chen Yi opened his eyes and was stunned. After watching, he closed his eyes forcefully.This famous general, who has been hampered by bullets and bullets for decades, has shed blood but not tears. At this moment, unstoppable tears flowed down his cheeks.Comrades in arms, the mountains are high and the waters are long.At this time, in the hut full of guerrillas, there was no sound, only the sound of He Yi's sucking and tears falling to the ground.

A few days later, with his wounds healed day by day, Chen Yi led the guerrillas from Youshan and Beishan to Chijiang to assemble, and began training and adaptation. Chijiang is an important town in Dayu County.After three years of separation, He Yi and his elder brother He Minxue met here. According to the decision of the central government, He Minxue served as the director of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army's office in southern Jiangxi (located in Chijiang).During the training period, brothers and sisters often gather together to talk about their separation. On January 6, 1938, the headquarters of the New Fourth Army moved from Wuhan to Nanchang.He Yi and Miao Min went to Ji'an via Ganzhou and Xingguo together, and secretly held an underground party work meeting in Meijia Temple in Xingguo County.Arranging work, meeting with Cai Fulan again, and sending Cai Fulan to sneak into the Xiaolong Tungsten Mine to open a tailor shop, as the secret contact point of the underground party, and single-line contact with He Yi.

After arriving in Ji'an, He Yi lived in the same room with Wei Xiuying and served as the head of the United Front Work Department of the Communication Department of the New Fourth Army stationed in Ji'an (later changed to the head of the Democratic Movement Department).Wei Xiuying was assigned by the Yan'an Central Party School to serve as the Organization Director of the Communications Department.He Yi has a hot-tempered personality, and Ji'an is her old base. As soon as she came, she went deep into Ji'an, Jishui, Yongfeng, Donggu and other counties to mobilize the masses, restore and establish party organizations. Only a few months later, she started working situation. Three months later, she was transferred to work in the Southeast Branch of the Communist Party of China.In the spring of the following year, the Southeast Branch sent her to the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee as Minister of the Women's Department. Before leaving, she went to Ganzhou to visit her parents, and brought back 3-year-old He Lucheng, who was fostered at He Tiaoyuan's home in Huahe Village, Yongxin's hometown.He Tiaoyuan is a landlord with a relatively wealthy family background, while He Lucheng lives a stable life and grew up under the care of "grandpa" and "grandma", without knowing his own life experience. Five months later, He Yi's father, He Huanwen, died suddenly in Ganzhou at the age of 68.His grave is now in Huangtupi Village Group, Gangbian Village, Hubian Township.Every year, Fang Shixin, whom He Huanwen recognized before his death, sacrifices to sweep. During the Ching Ming Festival in 2002, the author paid a special visit to He Huanwen's tomb. Searching among the magnificent tombs all the way, the most simple and shabby one belongs to He Huanwen.A piece of purple sand rock is used as a stele, and "Mr. He Huanwen, Yongxin County" is engraved on it.Compared with those luxurious tombs, there is a huge contrast. At this time, he happened to meet Fang Shixin, the betrothed son He Huanwen had recognized before his death.Back then, Fang was a ten-year-old chick, but now he is a 67-year-old white-haired man.Fang Shixin said: "After the liberation, He Huanwen's children He Minxue (Vice Governor of Fujian Province) and He Yi came here one after another, and did not ask to rebuild the tomb. In 1958, the people's commune buried the grave. I heard the news and went to pick up 'gold' (bones, etc.) ), covered the bones with palm leaves, invited Feng Shui, and reburied here, with the tombstone as usual. Later, He Min came here and gave 130 yuan to re-knot the tomb, and an earth arch was made on the tomb." The author pulled the weeds from the tomb, and remained silent. Mourning and farewell, looking back dozens of steps away, the tomb has disappeared into a vast land. Of course, He Huanwen didn't know that shortly after his death, the revolutionary situation improved, and Wen Tuxiu left Ganzhou and was sent to Yan'an by someone sent by the organization.
