Chapter 27 The twenty-seventh final order is like a book of heaven

After the main force of the Red Army left, disaster befalls the people in the Soviet area. Xiang Ying didn't realize that there would be such a big disaster at first.He and Chen Yi had serious differences in tactical guiding ideology.He failed to convince Chen Yi, and Chen Yi also failed to convince Xiang Ying. Xiang Ying persuaded He Chang who stayed at the same time.Xiang Ying is very optimistic about the temporary departure of the main force of the Red Army. He believes that the main force will return in the near future.So he put forward the slogan of "defending the Soviet area and waiting for the main force of the Red Army to return", and gathered the independent divisions and regiments scattered in various places to prepare for a big battle.

Later, in Tanggang, Ruijin Bay, I ambushed a division of the enemy's East Route Army. Although the aggressive enemy was defeated in that battle, I suffered heavy losses. Immediately afterwards, the enemy concentrated the strength of 4 divisions, chasing and intercepting the 24th Division, the main force of the Red Army remaining in the Soviet area.The two sides finally met in Niuling, Ganxian County. The 24th Division, the 3rd Independent Regiment, and the 11th Regiment were defeated by the enemy, and finally the main force of the Red Army broke out of the encirclement. After the disastrous defeat at Niuling, the situation in the Soviet area deteriorated day by day. The enemy concentrated their main force between the capital and Huichang, focusing on "encirclement and suppression" of the Red Army units.At this time, Chen Jitang on the southern line was also ordered to approach Huichang.

For a time, the entire Central Soviet Area was besieged on all sides.Only then did Xiang Ying realize that the terrible disaster in the Central Soviet Area was inevitable. By February 1935, the Central Sub-bureau, the Central Office and the mobilized troops remaining in the Soviet area were completely besieged in the small Renfeng area. At this time, Chen Yi repeatedly proposed the guerrilla tactics of breaking up the main force into parts, dispersing the attack, and containing the enemy at the meeting of the Central Sub-bureau.Xiang Ying still insists on her own opinion, especially at this time, Xiang Ying is even more unwilling to admit her mistakes.He insisted on waiting for instructions from the central government.

On February 13, 1935, Xiang Ying finally received instructions from the Central Committee, which was also the last instruction. Central Branch: ...Immediately change your current organization and struggle methods to adapt to the environment of guerrilla warfare...The guerrilla army should be based on a company of about 10000 people.This kind of team should have hundreds of units in the central area and its vicinity... set up lean independent battalions in larger areas, and only set up lean independent regiments in a few better areas... After deploying according to this, the redundant All regiments and battalions should be dispersed in a planned manner in the form of guerrillas. If the environment is favorable, they should be concentrated, and if the environment is unfavorable, they should be scattered.At the same time, mass guerrilla groups should be widely developed, surplus ammunition distributed to the masses, and the best cadres go to guerrilla units...Guerrilla units should closely connect with the masses and fight for their vital interests...To completely change the current method of struggle and transform it into The way of the guerrilla zone... Occupying the hills, maneuvering flexibly, ambush and attacking, and winning by surprise are the basic principles of guerrilla warfare. It is wrong to fight hard and do too much damage to yourself. There is no result in dividing the defense... Huge institutions are immediately reduced or cancelled. The person in charge moves with the guerrillas.Effective cadres are assigned to the localities. The sub-bureau should have an independent regiment in its hands. It will use Jiangyue and Guangdong borders to move around southern Jiangxi and western Fujian.

Xiang Ying looked forward to the stars and the moon and looked forward to the instructions of the Central Committee, but he did not expect that what he was looking forward to was such an instruction, which was completely opposite to his own guiding ideology.In the process of reading the telegram, he felt contradictory and complicated in his heart.The telegram appeared to be directed at his faulty deployment. Chen Yi was excited when he read the telegram, but the telegram came too late.The damage has been done, but for now there is hope for breaking up large numbers of troops.Difficult guerrilla years awaited them.

Harrison Salisbury, writing about this passage, wrote: On the morning of March 4, 1935, the remaining troops assembled.It rained cats and dogs.In a small hut, a radio operator was trying to get in touch with the Central Red Army in eastern Guizhou.Xiang Ying still felt that their retreat must be approved by the Central Committee.The radio kept calling, but there was no answer. Finally, most of the troops had already set off.The rain was pouring down non-stop, the road was muddy, and it was impossible to see anything from a hundred paces away... Arrived at Renfeng at noon, the radio station was still out of reach, and at 1:00 p.m., it was raining again.He Chang decided not to wait any longer.He took two battalions of about a few hundred people and began to break through, but soon fell into an ambush by the Kuomintang army and the troops broke up.They managed to regroup at Shihan Village and cross the Huichang River.Soon, the troops were surrounded again, and they were still unable to break through after fighting for several hours.He Chang was seriously injured.The Kuomintang soldiers rushed to him, shouting "Catch him alive".He Chang pointed the gun at his head, shouted the slogan "Long Live the Revolution", and ended his life with the last bullet.He Chang fought with Chen Yi, Zhou Enlai and others during the Nanchang Uprising on August 1, 1927. He served as a member of the Central Committee and deputy director of the General Political Department of the Red Army. He was only 29 years old when he died.

The headquarters is still waiting in Renfeng.The rain never stopped.Finally contact was made, and they sent a telegram asking for central approval of the breakout plan, and received a call back at about 5:00 p.m.But since the password has been changed, neither Chen Yi nor Xiang Ying understands it, and people are helpless looking at the password on the paper.They burned the telegrams and ordered the operator to wrap the radio in a tarpaulin and bury it in a pit.This incomprehensible password was the last message they received from the Central Red Army in three years. Chen Yi once said to Xie Weisi, a diplomat under the US military observation team in Yan'an, that since then, "we have lived like wild animals." ...

The circumstances of He Shuheng's death have remained a mystery for many years.It is said that he broke out from Renfeng with a team on March 4 and was wiped out on the way to western Fujian. He kept the party's funds, seals and documents.He would rather commit suicide by jumping off a cliff than be captured.He was seriously injured and shot dead after being spotted by two Kuomintang soldiers. ...these statements are not true.The fact is that both He Shuheng and Zhai Qiubai disguised themselves as businessmen and were escorted. On February 24, 1935, they were found eating breakfast in Xiaopeng Village, Shuikou City, Changting County, Fujian Province.The 2nd Battalion of the 14th KMT Regiment led by Li Yu was stationed nearby and sent troops to surround the village. He Xingxing decided to disperse.As the soldiers leaned over to search his pockets, Ho jumped up and scuffled them.One of the soldiers shot him twice, killing him.

Qu Qiubai escaped the catastrophe, but was soon arrested along with most of the others.The enemy took him to Changting and imprisoned him for four months... On the morning of June 18, 1935, he wrote a poem with a brief preface: On the evening of June 17, 1935, in the Dream Walking Trail, the setting sun illuminated the water, and the cold spring sobbed, like being in a fairyland.The next day, I read the Tang Dynasty poem "The setting sun brightens and fades in the chaotic mountains", and because of the collection of lines, I accidentally formed a poem: The setting sun brightens and fades in the chaotic mountains, and the fallen leaves and cold springs are different; I have endured for ten years, and I hold half a verse in my heart, ten thousand green sky.

As soon as the poem was finished, a guard came and escorted him to the execution ground. He lit a cigarette and downed a glass of whiskey.In spite of his frail health, he walked calmly to the execution ground, and when the bullet hit his chest, he still stood there, singing the Internationale in Russian. Less than two months after the withdrawal of the main force of the Red Army, the main towns in the Soviet area were already occupied by the enemy. The enemy first occupied Ningdu on October 26, Ruijin on November 10, Yudu on November 17, and Huichang on December 23.So far, all counties in the entire Central Soviet Area have fallen into the hands of the enemy.

In addition to Xue Yue's column and Zhou Hunyuan's column chasing after the main Red Army, Fan Songfu's column and Li Yannian's column compressed from the north and the east. Cut into many small pieces in an attempt to encircle the Red Army's troops in a small area. Under the slogan of "thatch must be overfire, stone must be knife, people must be replaced by human species, and grain must be exchanged for grain seeds", the mountains and forests screamed, the rivers whimpered, and for a while, the Soviet area became a world of blood and fire. The signboards of the Soviets were removed from the gates of the provincial, county, district, township, and village governments, and buried in the ground together with the red flags and seals.The singing of the past and the hopeful smiling faces of the people in the Soviet area have become distant memories. Bai Xing came back, followed by a company of the Kuomintang Army. When Bai Xing left the village, he thought that such a day would come sooner or later.After he ran out of the village, he hid in the mountains for a few days. He was familiar with the mountains in this area. When he led a group of people as bandits, he often moved in this area.After staying for a few days, he finally couldn't bear the hardship and loneliness in the mountains, and decided to go down the mountain.But he can't go back to the village, he wants to go to Ruijin City to see the limelight.Before reaching Ruijin, he was caught by Kuomintang soldiers.The soldiers thought he was a spy of the Red Army, so they escorted him to the company headquarters. Bai Baixing thought that the end was coming this time, but he didn't expect that he knew the company commander of this company. When they were bandits, they worked together for a few days. Later, when the Red Army came, Bai Xing went down the mountain, and he ran away. Unexpectedly, his bandit partner had already become a company commander.Surprised and delighted, Bai Xing talked about the "misfortune" of the past few years to his partner who was a bandit together back then. The company commander thought about the old love back then, and soon released Tian Xing.During this process, Bai Xing told the story of how he was forced to become the chairman of the village Soviet with snot and tears, but he still did not forget to say the process of trying to destroy the gold and silver treasures buried in the mountains by the Red Army.Bai Baixing assured the company commander that he would be responsible for finding the family members of the Red Army and some village Soviet cadres, and he would help them identify them one by one. It was evening when Bai Xing drove a company of troops to the village, the sun was hidden in the western sky, and half of the sky was stained blood red. Disaster befell the small village. Bai Xing was in charge, led the soldiers to search every house, and drove the whole village under the old tree at the head of the village.Then, Bai Xing called out the family members of the Red Army one by one.While doing all this during the day, I kept smiling.Every time I walked in front of a family member of the Red Army, I smiled and said: I’m sorry, I worked for the Communist Party back then, and now I’m working for the Kuomintang. Come out, it’s useless if you don’t stand up. These family members of the Red Army are all elderly people and women, and they looked at Bai Xing with blank eyes.Every time he walked in front of them, he spit on him with saliva.Bai Xing was not annoyed at all, he knew what he would face these people in a while, and he was doing it cheerfully. Soon, the family members of the Red Army and the village Soviet cadres were all recognized. Bai Xing saw Wang Xiangui's daughter-in-law in the crowd.This handsome woman still had the breath of death in her eyes.When looking at her during the day, she was looking at the sunset in the western sky, and her gloomy eyes were full of afterglow.During the day, he recalled the ecstasy moments when he possessed her in the past, she was at his mercy, without saying a word, never even screaming, all she had was her rough and heavy breathing.During the day, Xing loved to listen to the panting of this young and beautiful woman, and she always washed and washed after every time she finished with her.Bai Xing knew why, so he didn't say anything, smoking while watching the woman in the dark desperately washing himself. Every time when Xing left a woman during the day, he would pinch her tits fiercely and say: Keep the door open, I will come back tomorrow. The woman didn't seem to hear him, and lay there as if dead. When Bai Tianxing thought of this, his whole body was on fire, and the fire of sexual desire made him unbearable.He walked up to the woman, didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and grabbed her tits in front of everyone, she didn't move, her eyes were still staring at the horizon indifferently.Bai Xing smiled and said, "Actually, you are also a member of the Communist Party. Don't forget that Wang Xiangui was a member of the Red Guards. I don't recognize you today. Don't forget to keep the door open tonight." More than 100 soldiers in khaki military uniforms have surrounded the family members of the Red Army that they have recognized. The company commander called Bai Xing and asked: Is that all? Bai Xing answered: Basically that’s all. The company commander circled around these Red Army family members twice, picked out a few young women from them, turned his head and smiled at Bai Xing and said: These people will stay first, and these women must be changed. Bai Bai hurriedly nodded and said: Yes, change, change... The company commander retreated a little and took out the gun from his waist. The soldiers lined up in a row, holding guns in their hands, and loaded the bullets with a "crash". The family members of the Red Army didn’t seem to understand anything until then. An old man threw away the crutch in his hand, walked out of the crowd tremblingly, pointed at Bai Xing’s nose and cursed: Bai, you will die badly. The old man turned around and shouted at a group of family members of the Red Army behind him: Folks, we are all family members of the Red Army. I believe that our team will come back one day. The soldier closest to him rushed over. He wanted to snatch the gun from the soldier's hand, but the soldier dodged to the side and stabbed diagonally, and the bayonet pierced the old man's chest.The old man shook for a moment, then fell down, and blood spattered out.There was a commotion in the crowd, and a woman yelled: My God—a group of people rushed towards the group of soldiers. The company commander shouted: Shoot, shoot me. Gunshots rang out.It rang for a while, and it rang again. All the identified family members of the Red Army were lying in a pool of blood. The company commander ordered people to bring piles of firewood and stack them together, lit a big fire, and asked the soldiers to throw all the corpses into the fire. The fire burned for two full hours. Those who survived, many years later, still remember the massacre that evening, the fire, and the lingering smell of charred bodies. Bai Xing was also terrified by the scene in front of him.He didn't expect such an ending, he quickly thought of the way out, he thought of the old man's words before his death: the Red Army will come back sooner or later... He stood blankly in front of the corpse, looking at the blood flowing, he couldn't help retching.He knew that he couldn't stay in this village from now on, even if the Red Army didn't come back, people would kill him.Thinking of this, he squatted down and hugged his head with his hands.It can be said that the Red Army came here and beat up local tyrants to divide the land. It can be said that it did not bring him any harm. He did such a thing by accident.Now that the matter has come to this point, he has only one way to go, and that is to join the Kuomintang team.Thinking of this, he stood up.He thought of Wang Xiangui's daughter-in-law, that cold and handsome woman.People live for a lifetime, let's live it.Thinking of this in his heart, his mood also relaxed. He wanted to find Wang Xiangui's wife and be ecstasy one last time. He would leave here with the Kuomintang troops tomorrow. A company of the Kuomintang, only a small part of them are left on guard, and the rest have entered the village. They are searching for delicious food from house to house, and there are women... During the day, Xing arrived at the gate of Wang Xiangui's house at the head of the village, which was still some distance away from the village, and the soldiers did not come here.While imagining the woman's fat and white body, he pushed open the door, and the room was not lit.He stood in the room for a while before he saw Wang Xiangui's daughter-in-law sitting on the bed. Bai Xing turned around and closed the door, chuckled twice and said: I know you hate me, today is the last time, tomorrow I will go away. While stripping himself naked, Bai Bai Xing rushed towards the woman. It was like this every time a woman used to do this. She didn't resist and let Bai Xing take off her clothes without a sound.Bai Bai Xing felt a little strange this time, he saw the woman move, and rushed towards him, and then Bai Bai Xing felt something hard and sharp inserted into his chest.Bai Xing's eyes widened in horror, seeing a pair of scissors sticking out of his chest, Bai Bai Xing let out a cry, and then fell to the ground... The next day, when the company commander assembled the team, he did not see Bai Xing, so he sent soldiers to look for him.They also asked Bai Xing to lead them to the next village. After a while, a soldier came back in a hurry and reported that Bai Xing died in a woman's house, and that woman was also hanged from the beam. Burn it. The soldiers responded and left. At the east end of the village, a puff of smoke rose.
