Chapter 52 The blue strands of the rough road entered the south of Jiangxi, and Deng Bin returned to Shanghai in a hurry

In early February 1931, Deng Bin and Li Mingrui led the 55th Regiment and the 58th Regiment of the Seventh Red Army, and one company (this has been incorporated into the 55th Regiment) passed through the Renhua area in northern Guangdong and went straight north into Jiangxi Neiliang in the west of Dayu County, crossed Dayu Mountain and Zhuguang Mountain (belonging to the Luoxiao Mountains), and then turned to Chongyi to advance. After more than six months of arduous trek and thousands of miles of fighting, this heroic and unyielding team finally got rid of the siege and interception of the warlords of various factions of the Kuomintang and arrived at the destination - the southern Jiangxi Soviet area.

Here is the first revolutionary base created by the armed forces led by the Communist Party of China, and it will soon become the command center of the national revolutionary armed forces. Here, there are 100,000 regular Red Army. They have smashed the first big "encirclement and suppression" launched by Chiang Kai-shek, and are actively preparing and participating in the battle to smash the second big "encirclement and suppression" launched by Chiang Kai-shek. Here, the red areas such as southern Jiangxi and western Fujian have been connected together, and the provisional central government of the Chinese Soviet Republic will be born here soon.

Jiangxi is not Guangxi, and Guangxi cannot be compared with Jiangxi. Only when you enter here can you truly experience its other world and its atmosphere! "Ah, this is called 'No place to find after breaking through iron shoes', we are finally home!" Deng Bin said with emotion. "That's right! "Zuo Zhuan" says: "The blue thread on the road is used to open up the mountains and forests." "Zhou Yi" says: "Walk alone in the state, and the treasures will wait for the time. We will have room for display here!" Li Mingrui quoted the scriptures and talked eloquently.

The two rode on horses and walked side by side.The team strides forward, and there is no need to worry about the enemy ahead or being attacked by the enemy.Because wherever they went, people they saw—regardless of men, women, old and young—welcomed them very warmly, because there had already been "everything is a soldier" here, and everyone was a member of the Red Guards. When Deng Bin and Li Mingrui led their troops into Jiangxi, they happily encountered the guerrillas led by the Jiangxi Special Committee of the Communist Party of China (also known as the Gannan Administrative Committee), and quickly got in touch with the Jiangxi Special Committee.

After being introduced by comrades from the Special Committee, they learned that this area is still a guerrilla zone, and Chongyi County, 60 miles away, is still an enemy-occupied area; it is more than 200 miles away from Jinggang Mountain, and it is already the outskirts of the Hunan and Jiangxi base areas. Deng Bin and Li Mingrui immediately decided: go sixty miles north and take Chongyi City! On the morning of February 12, the 55th Regiment of the Seventh Red Army, with the cooperation of the guerrillas, captured Chongyi City in one fell swoop with stronger troops and manpower. According to the local situation at that time, the Seventh Red Army decided to carry out work in the Chongyi area, establish a Soviet regime, and expand the Red Army to cooperate with the Red Front Army's counter "encirclement and suppression".At the same time, it was decided to form the Front Committee of the 55th Regiment of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China.

On February 17th, which coincided with the Lunar New Year, all the commanders and fighters of the Red Fifty-Five Regiment and the people of Chongyi City happily spent a joyous and auspicious Spring Festival. The Red Army's occupation of Chongyi has made He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the "bandit suppression" in Nanchang, unable to rest in peace. He Yingqin urgently ordered Jiang Guangnai from Ganzhou and He Jian from Changsha to attack from both sides, "quickly annihilate Li (Mingrui) and Zhang (Yunyi) remnants in southern Jiangxi", recapture Chongyi City, and "occupy the key point of the encirclement and suppression".

In early March, two regiments of the enemy's 19th Route Army marched from Ganzhou to Chongyi; He Jian also mobilized a division of the Hunan Army to participate in the second "encirclement and suppression" campaign to advance from Liuzhou to Chongyi. In response to this situation, when Deng Bin, Li Mingrui and others studied the actions of the Red Fifty-Five Regiment in Jiebazhai and the Jiangnan Special Committee, they believed that in Chongyi area, "the mass base is still very weak, and the strength of the Seventh Army is not strong, so it is difficult to stand firm." ".In the Xinfeng area southeast of Chongyi, the 35th Red Army was ordered to transfer from Xinfeng to the Central Soviet Area, and there was no Red Army in Xinfeng area.Based on this, it was decided that the Red Fifty-Five Regiment would be transferred to Xinfeng to consolidate the Soviet area.

In Jieba, Deng Bin learned from the person in charge of the special committee that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had held the Fourth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee in Shanghai on January 7, and Wang Ming (Chen Shaoyu) had taken the leadership of the Central Committee.Some people in the party headed by Wang Ming rose up against the Party Central Committee after the Third Plenary Session under the banner of opposing the "Li San Line" and "Conciliation Line", and wrote "Two Lines" (later renamed "Being The CCP is more Bolshevik and Struggle") pamphlet, as their new central political program, began the third rule of "Left" adventurism in the central leadership of the CCP.This news surprised Deng Bin, who has an extremely sensitive political sense: the Third Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee was held in late September last year, and the Fourth Plenary Session was held so soon, there must be a reason for it!

Furthermore, he thought that since he returned to Guangxi from Shanghai early last year, he had not directly contacted the central government for more than a year.It seems that because of this, the central government sent a representative, Deng Gang, to the Seventh Red Army.Now the Seventh Red Army has finally arrived in the Central Soviet Area after paying a heavy price through twists and turns and hardships.How to determine the future course of action of the Seventh Red Army?Should it develop in southern Jiangxi, or join Zhu and Mao's Red Army?Did the Seventh Red Army complete its historical mission here?Questions like these need to be consulted with the central government for urgent decision.Therefore, he considered it necessary to go to Shanghai to report to the Party Central Committee and ask for instructions.He held a pre-committee meeting with Li Mingrui and Xu Zhuo to discuss his work in Shanghai to report and ask for instructions.The committee members felt reluctant to leave the army to go to Shanghai at this time, and felt that they did not understand or have doubts:

Some people said that the Seventh Red Army had finally gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. It moved thousands of miles from Guangxi to Jiangxi, and would soon join the Red Army of Zhu and Mao. How about going to Shanghai? Some said that Political Commissar Deng was a representative sent by the Party Central Committee and had not contacted the Central Committee for more than a year. The "Li San Line" has collapsed, and the central government has new leaders and comrades to preside over it. I don't know what new spirit, new strategy, and new deployment. It is really necessary for Political Commissar Deng to go to Shanghai this time.

Some also said that when the Seventh Red Army rushed to cross the Wushui River, they were separated into two parts by the Cantonese Army. Now Commander Zhang Yunyi leads the main force of the 58th Regiment and the troops directly under the army are still fighting hard on the Hunan and Guangdong borders, and their whereabouts are unknown. Some also said that it would not be too late for Political Commissar Deng to go to Shanghai after the two ministries separated by the enemy joined forces, or after joining the Red Army of Zhu and Mao! However, the meeting still agreed in principle for him to go to Shanghai to report and ask for instructions.He appointed that after he left, Xu Zhuo would act as the secretary of the former party committee.He emphasized that there are only so many people left in the Seventh Red Army, and we must find out the whereabouts of the 58th Regiment.The army cannot act independently, and must join forces with the masses in areas where there is a mass base to gain a firm foothold. He repeatedly urged that if necessary, they can move closer to the Jinggangshan base area and join forces with Zhu and Mao's Red Army. According to Yuan Renyuan, who was a member of the former committee of the Red Seventh Army and director of the General Affairs Department at the time, recalled that Comrade Xiaoping (Deng Bin) took several comrades to Jieba. Local work issues, on the other hand, condolences to the wounded and sick of the Seventh Red Army.On the way back to Chongyi, Comrade Xiaoping heard gunshots. He knew that we would withdraw from Chongyi and move north according to the plan predetermined by the former committee.So, Comrade Xiaoping returned to Jieba and wrote us a letter for the guards to deliver to us.When we withdrew from Chongyi to Shangyou County in front of the camp, Comrade Xiaoping's guards arrived and handed the letter to us.In the letter, Comrade Xiaoping appointed Xu Zhuo, Li Mingrui, Yu Hui, myself, and Zhang Yi to form the Front Committee, and Xu Zhuo was the Secretary of the Front Committee.We call this front committee the small front committee.He also said in the letter, I heard gunshots on the way back, and I know that the enemy has attacked you, and you will retreat according to the original plan.I decided to take this opportunity to go to Shanghai to report to the central government and learn about the "Tomita Incident".After we received Comrade Xiaoping's letter, we set up the Front Committee according to Comrade Xiaoping's instructions and moved to Jinggangshan. In this way, Deng Bin bid farewell to Li Mingrui, and bid farewell to those who created the Seventh Red Army with him and the left and right Jiang revolutions. The comrades in the base area left Chongyi in a hurry.He never imagined at that time that his farewell to Li Mingrui, Xu Zhuo, Xu Jin, Yu Hui and other comrades-in-arms would turn out to be a farewell. All of them were killed in the cleansing campaign of the "AB regiment" and became unjust souls! Deng Bin disguised himself as a businessman who bought mountain goods, and was escorted to Nanxiong, Guangdong by traffic officers sent by the Gannan Special Committee, and then escorted to Shaoguan by the Guangdong underground organization of the Communist Party of China to take a train to Guangzhou, and then take a boat from Guangzhou to Hong Kong , and then take a boat from Hong Kong to Shanghai...
