A Douglas DC-3 transport aircraft prepares for takeoff.
There were more than twenty heavily armed soldiers sitting in the cabin. They were all soldiers of the Fourth Air Police Regiment.
Each man held a Garand semi-automatic rifle in his hand.
Their destination is Nanchang.
Zhang Yong is going to Nanchang.
He must be released in person.
However, he was not familiar with Nanchang.
In a strange place, the first thing to do is to ensure your own safety.
At this moment, there are countless people who want his life.
For safety reasons, of course, you have to transport your own people there and set up a front station. At least two hundred people. The more, the better.
Apply to take off.
Approved for takeoff.
The transport plane began to taxi and gradually accelerated.
Soon, the wheels lifted off the ground and took off.
The next transport plane immediately followed. The cabin was also filled with heavily armed soldiers.
take off!
take off!
Too busy.
afternoon……
A plane lands.
Zhang Yong emerged from the cabin.
Just came back from Shanghai.
Look at the time.
You still have time.
boarding.
Set off.
Go to the Gendarmerie Headquarters to sign and release everyone.
Then, we returned to Daqiaochang Airport and prepared to fly to Nanchang.
"Dong Ruiyang."
"arrive."
"Follow up!"
"yes."
Dong Ruiyang didn't know why.
I still don’t understand why Zhang Yong took him to Nanchang.
I am just a small military police second lieutenant...
Zhang Yong didn’t explain either.
There are some things that cannot be said.
I hope Dong Ruiyang has contacted his superiors.
I hope his superiors can get in touch with the underground organizations in Nanchang again and try to arrange as many people as possible to receive them.
According to feedback from Nanchang, there are many injured people in the prison who do not receive decent treatment. After they are released, treatment will be a headache.
what to do?
We can only talk about it when we get to the scene.
"Huang Chu."
"arrive."
"Lin Nansheng."
"arrive."
"I'm going to Nanchang, so you two don't have to follow me. I have a task for you. It is to observe whether the people released today are still being followed. Including the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Police Headquarters, etc."
"yes."
"Go ahead."
"yes."
The two agreed to leave.
I don’t know if Dong Ruiyang has conveyed it, so I’ll add two more insurances.
Give them the opportunity to run outside and have enough time to contact their superiors. At the same time, the tasks he ordered are not entirely excuses.
Chiang Kai-shek was not the only stubborn reactionary in the Fruit Party.
In fact, some people's anti-communist ideas are more stubborn than Chiang Kai-shek's.
Do you have to be on guard against whether they might be engaging in any conspiracy behind the scenes?
"Let's go."
Zhang Yong took people on the plane.
Sitting separately for safety reasons. He was with the Fourth Air Police Group.
He was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.
take off.
Take off.
Some fighters began to feel nervous.
He dug his feet hard into the floor, trying to release his inner uneasiness.
There were also people with pale faces and clutching the handrails.
Every time the plane trembled, it seemed very nervous.
Can understand.
Flying! Many people are not used to it at first.
In fact, the first condition for becoming an airborne soldier is to overcome the fear of heights. The entire training program is very complicated.
In "Band of Brothers", E Company trained for more than two years, and the exercises were full of mistakes.
It is impossible to do it under the conditions of the national army. Even the expeditionary force is probably too difficult.
Unless he, Zhang Yong, is personally involved...
Well, I’m overthinking it.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
View the world map silently.
Nothing new. The whole world is quiet.
As far as world war is concerned, we are not completely ready yet. There are not enough warships in all countries.
In terms of weapons level, the battle between the Japanese invaders and the Chinese could only be described as a fight between rookies. Compared with the magnificent Soviet-German battlefield, it was not at the same level.
If it is on the plains, whether it is a German army or a Soviet Guards, it can sweep several divisions of the Japanese invaders. The T-34 can become the king of land battles!
well……
The flight from Jinling to Nanchang takes more than two hours.
The speed of DC-3 is relatively slow, about 200 kilometers per hour. It is incomparable to the speed of fighter jets.
Look at the time, four o'clock in the afternoon.
By the time we land, it will probably be almost dark.
Then we coordinated with the local garrison to take over the prison and go through the formalities. It was probably close to early morning.
Hope everything goes well.
finally……
Arrival at Nanchang Airport.
landing.
Get off the plane.
"Commissioner."
"Commissioner."
Yang Buqing and Song Youming came up.
Both of them arrived with the team in the early stage and were responsible for switching defenses.
Shangguan Qing has already led the action team to take over the military police prison in advance. The internal system of the military police is not a big problem.
What Zhang Yong is more worried about is the local garrison. If the garrison makes things difficult...
The garrisons stationed around Nanchang were all the troops that encircled and suppressed the Red Army before. There must be grudges between the two sides.
Even if there was no enmity in the first place, the enmity will deepen when there are many casualties on the battlefield.
Many of the people in the military police prison were also arrested by them. Now they kept silent and were suddenly released. Zhang Yong was really worried that they would make things difficult for them.
"Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"Where is the garrison commander?"
"The commander of the military police regiment and the two commanders of the 89th Division are waiting."
"good."
Zhang Yong was slightly relieved.
There is only one division stationed in Nanchang. Its designation is the 89th Division.
Speaking of which, this division has some connection with Zhang Yong, because the first division commander of this division was Qian Wanjun.
In layman's terms, they are the troops led by Qian Wanjun.
It was also because of this that Zhang Yong dared to come to Nanchang in person. Otherwise, he really would not have dared.
If you switch to another unit that doesn't matter at all, especially He Jingzhi's side, they might really take action against you.
The current situation is messy, and if you are beaten to death, you will die.
Now, Qian Wanjun is also detained in the northwest. His old subordinates should not dare to mess around.
Otherwise, he is deliberately sending his old boss to death.
The current division commander is Wang Zhonglian, and the deputy division commander is Long Muhan. Both are from Huangpu Phase I.
So I came up to meet the two teachers.
"Commissioner Zhang."
"Mr. Wang."
"Commissioner Zhang."
"Deputy Commander Long."
"please."
"please."
The relationship between the two parties is okay.
It was obvious that the two of them were willing to cooperate.
After all, the teacher is still being detained. He is under the roof.
In the guest room, Zhang Yong suddenly remembered something.
This Long Muhan seems to have been shot by Chiang Kai-shek. The reason was defeat. It seems to be the Battle of Lanfeng?
In later generations, someone would avenge him.
It is said that the main person responsible for the defeat in the Battle of Lanfeng is Gui Yongqing.
However, behind Gui Yongqing was He Yingqin. He Yingqin teamed up with Chen Cheng and finally put the responsibility on Long Muhan.
As a result, Long Muhan was shot.
"Mr. Wang, I came to Nanchang to perform secret official duties..."
Zhang Yong slowly began to talk about the topic.
Since it is Commander Qian's faction, I believe there will be no obstruction.
Qian Wanjun is still detained in the northwest. If they cause trouble, they will kill their old commander.
At that time, such unkind and unjust behavior would have been reviled.
Sure enough, Wang Zhonglian immediately expressed his position, "Commissioner, as long as you are ordered, we will do whatever you want."
"Serious words." Zhang Yong was slightly reassured, "The committee members are safe and sound. Commander Qian is also in good health. Wait patiently for their safe return."
"That's good. That's good." Wang Zhonglian felt relieved.
Whether true or false, he was expressing that he was worried about the safety of his committee members and his old superiors.
Without the help of old superiors, it will be very troublesome in the future.
The national army is like this. Nepotism is very important. If you follow the right boss, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
If you don't follow the right...
That's just like Du Yuming. He was wasted. He was born at the wrong time. He hated to meet his master...
Long Muhan's face was expressionless and indifferent.
Zhang Yong was thoughtful.
Sure enough, this guy was shot, not without reason.
Aloof.
Pride.
I usually ignore people.
When something happens, others will naturally ignore you.
As long as Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, Tang Enbo, etc., can exonerate him, they will not be shot.
After all, he was still in the first phase of Huangpu, and was taught by Lao Jiang himself. Lao Jiang was used to losing battles. He was a disciple of the emperor. At most, he was dismissed from his post and investigated. Then he came back. Isn't that what Sun Yuanliang was like?
Being able to survive until he was shot shows that his popularity is really at an extremely low level.
bid farewell.
Go to prison.
At this time, night has completely fallen.
The city of Nanchang was pitch black, lifeless, and like a dead city.
Because martial law has not been lifted yet.
It is strictly forbidden to go out after dark.
There are only police or soldiers patrolling the streets.
Ordinary people dare not go out. Otherwise, if they are caught, it will be a common crime.
You need to pay at least one ocean before you can go home.
Otherwise, you will be put in jail.
The gendarmerie regiment stationed in Nanchang has about 800 people. The regiment leader's surname is Qiu.
"Commissioner."
"Captain Qiu, list."
"At this."
Commander Qiu presented the list.
Zhang Yong glanced at it and found that there were many nonsense names in it.
Needless to say, it must have been a captured Red Army soldier or guerrilla who made the random nonsense. Then it was recorded.
"I'll go in and see people."
"please."
Zhang Yong entered the cell.
The map has long shown a lot of yellow dots. There are two to three hundred of them.
It fully shows that there are indeed a large number of Red Party members imprisoned in prison. The fifth counter-encirclement and suppression campaign failed, and many Red Army officers and soldiers were captured.
Most of them were cadres of some rank. Ordinary soldiers might have been executed on the spot.
Fortunately, I came early. Otherwise, the consequences would be really hard to predict.
Maybe these people will really be secretly shot. Then they will evade and say that there are no such people at all.
Death without evidence.
Observe silently. Most people are injured.
It is estimated that after being released, their hands and tails will be very long. Most of them may not be able to return to the battlefield.
Zhang Yong's appearance quickly attracted the attention of the people in the cell.
According to Zhang Yong's prior order, their handcuffs and shackles have been removed and they can move freely in the cell.
Some people rushed to Zhang Yong and stared at Zhang Yong through the fence.
"Are you here to free us?"
"yes."
"In exchange for Chiang Kai-shek?"
"yes."
Zhang Yong answered calmly.
At the same time, he is fully aware of it.
Here, there are people communicating with the outside world.
Because even Commander Qiu didn't know about the exchange of Chiang Kai-shek. But the people inside knew.
It was obviously news coming from outside.
Okay, don't worry.
The underground party outside is quite active!
Since messages can be passed in, there must be a way to receive them.
Turn around.
Go prepare the procedures.
Let him go.
suddenly……
"If we don't go out, Chiang Kai-shek will never come back."
"Yes, we won't go out! Old Chiang Kai-shek doesn't want to come back either!"
"Kill Lao Chiang!"
"We're not going out!"
"Kill Lao Chiang!"
"We're not going out!"
"Kill Lao Chiang!"
The people in the cell began to agitate.
At first it was one person, then hundreds of people, and finally everyone.
All of them looked determined and had no hesitation.
Zhang Yong:……
Good guy.
No matter how many times I calculated, I missed you.
No one is causing trouble outside, but you are making trouble inside.
Chiang Kai-shek also had enough hatred.
The people inside would rather risk their own lives to drag Lao Jiang to be buried with him.
Really...
OK, you guys are calling.
I listened quietly from the side.
Call……
Keep calling...
Commander Qiu's face looked a little ugly.
Zhang Yong waved his hand and motioned for him to go out. Don't worry. Let others call him!
When you are tired of barking, you will naturally stop barking.
They call me immortal Chiang Kai-shek. They are not stupid.
Sure enough, gradually, the sound began to disappear. But it was found that it had no effect.
It’s also called tired. My body is already weak.
However, some people still muttered: "We are not going out..."
Zhang Yong then straightened his face and roared angrily: "How outrageous! Do you still have an organization? Do you still have discipline?"
Everyone:......
I was immediately confused.
What?
organize?
discipline?
Zhang Yong glared and continued to roar.
"Whether you can get out or not is up to you to decide?"
"I'm telling you! This is your organization's decision! It's your organization that wants you out!"
"Whoever doesn't want to go out should stand up!"
"I want to see if any of you are so unorganized and undisciplined!"
His voice is loud.
Do you feel that part of the power is added to the voice?
Everyone in the cell could hear it clearly.
silence.
Astonished.
Everyone looked at each other.
no……
What is this guy's background?
One sentence slapped them on the forehead, and they were immediately confused.
Does he still know organizational discipline?
And reprimanded them for being unorganized and undisciplined?
no……
So weird...
It just couldn't be refuted.
Being unorganized and undisciplined is an extremely serious crime.
None of them can afford it.
For a moment, no one dared to say a word.
Zhang Yong became angry and continued to roar with a straight face, "After being locked up in a cell for a few days, you forgot about organization and discipline?"
He stretched out his hand, grabbed a person, and stared at him, "What is the first of the three major disciplines and eight points of attention?"
The person he caught was a little confused and didn't even think about it for a moment.
Zhang Yong pushed him away and grabbed the second one.
"And you?"
"One, one, all actions follow the command..."
"very good!"
Zhang Yong pushed him away.
Then he scanned everyone and cursed:
"What do you mean by following orders in all actions? Are you following orders in all actions?"
"Your superior organization spent so much effort before they could think of a way to rescue you! You are actually causing trouble here! You still refuse to go out!"
"Unorganized! Undisciplined! Unorganized! Should we continue the revolution?"
"Now, everyone, please stand at attention and recite the three major disciplines and eight points of attention to me!"
"If you can't recite it, I'll report it to your superiors!"
silence.
Quiet.
Someone lowered his head quietly.
"start!"
"All actions follow the command..."
"All actions must be taken according to the command. Do not take advantage of the masses..."
The sound gradually increased.
Everyone recited it obediently.
As a result, more people lowered their heads.
Zhang Yong stared coldly.
As far as I could see, the other person couldn't help but raise his voice.
I was afraid that Zhang Yong would really report it.
Finished reciting.
Zhang Yong's expression softened.
"Which of you is a senior cadre?"
"..."
silence.
No one responded.
"What? Are you afraid that I will use tricks to identify you and shoot you?"
"I am."
Finally, someone stood up.
Zhang Yong nodded and motioned for the other party to come forward.
"What do you call it?"
"Geng Tingshi. Former deputy commander of the 34th Division."
"Red 34th Division?"
"yes."
"The one after the Xiangjiang River is cut off?"
"yes."
"Very good. It's good to be alive."
"you……"
Geng Tingshi was about to speak but stopped.
The guy in front of me must be a reactionary.
but……
it's wired.
He is actually so familiar with the party organization?
He calmed them down with just a few words.
"Now let's go through the formalities. Once the formalities are completed, you can go out. I have indirectly notified your people to pick you up, but I don't know if you are in a hurry and have the ability to receive you. So, you'd better
From now on, we need to reorganize, restructure the organization, establish a temporary party branch, and stabilize the team."
"you……"
Geng Tingshi became more and more suspicious.
How do you feel that the other party is familiar with the procedures of the party organization?
Do you even know how to set up a temporary party branch?
He is a reactionary!
"Captain Geng, what do you want? You can tell me."
"We want to go out openly."
"Can."
"We want to go out during the day..."
"no."
Zhang Yong shook his head.
It's OK to do it openly, but not during the day.
"Why?"
"The night is long and the dreams are many. If it is too late, things will change."
"this……"
"Soldiers are very quick. We can't waste even a minute."
"Um?"
"You just wasted too much time on the Xiangjiang River, which led to such serious losses. The 80,000 Red Army troops were beaten to only 30,000. Do you still want to stage it again?"
"Well……"
"If you are worried about safety, I can give you some weapons and ammunition for self-defense..."
"You give us weapons and ammunition?"
"Yes. I'll give you another radio station."
"You're giving us the radio station?"
"Yes. I'll give you two to ensure that you can contact your superiors smoothly."
"good."
"But you also have to agree to one condition."
"What?"
"After you go out, you can't take the initiative to start a fight, attack places, or stimulate tension. We don't want the situation to become more tense."
"I can agree to this."
"good."
Zhang Yong stood up and shook hands with the other party.
It was discovered that Captain Geng only had three fingers left on both hands.
The battle was brutal. It was indeed a miracle that he could survive. It is generally believed that all the Red Thirty-Fourth Division had been sacrificed.
Formalities.
Let him go.
Get in line. Get out of jail.
Finally around early in the morning, all the people were sent out of the prison.
Zhang Yong bid farewell to Commander Geng.
"I hope we won't see each other again," Commander Geng said slowly.
"Maybe." Zhang Yong nodded.
There are some things that cannot be said.
They will be reorganized into the New Fourth Army and march to the anti-Japanese battlefield.
When he reaches the front line, perhaps he, Zhang Yong, will meet him again.
but……
Not sure.
The battlefield is so big that it may not be possible to encounter it.
It is also possible that he died early...
Farewell today...
Suddenly an officer hurried over.
"Report."
"explain."
"A convoy came outside, saying it was arranged by you, Commissioner..."
"What convoy?"
"What is being transported are weapons and ammunition."
"oh?"
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up.
There is no prompt on the map!
real.
what's the situation?
I hurriedly went to check and found that it was a carriage convoy.
There were many carriages and there were more than a dozen strong men driving them, but they were not shown on the map.
Understood.
This is a temporary delivery from the system.
Previously it was all shipped by sea or airborne, but this time it was shipped by land.
So accept it.
Got the list.
Those strong men left directly.
Weapons and ammunition were left behind, as well as carriages and horses...
So generous...
Just right, give them away together.
No need to pay extra yourself.
Turn around.
Came to Commander Geng.
"These are what I give to you to show our sincerity."
"all?"
"Yes. All."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Then give the list to the other party.
On the list, it says 1,000 horse four-ring rifles.
There are also 250 boxes of ammunition, each containing 1,000 rounds, for a total of 250,000 rounds.
"you……"
Commander Geng was about to speak but stopped.
The quantity of this weapon and ammunition is very huge!
In the past, the 34th Red Division would have been enough to destroy many White armies. It's a pity...
"please."
"Thanks!"
Captain Geng left with his team.
Zhang Yong looked at the sky and felt relieved. Another thing had been solved.
The process went quite smoothly...
Turn around and look northwest.
It was still dark over there. There was no light at all.
