That morning, An Yi went to the airport to see Gong Qian and Ye Qing get on the plane to Suzhou. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Lao Shou, Liu Qing drove a car into the airport, stopped the car when he got to An Yi's side, and jumped out in a hurry. After coming down, he took out an urgent message from his briefcase and delivered it to An Yi.
An Yi took a look, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious. After thinking for a while, he said to Lin Yaodong behind him: "Xiaojiu, you and Liu Qing go to the Military Commission to ask for leave for me first. I have to go to Lao Nanchang for something urgent. It's just the right time. Together with Uncle Dao. After you finish your work, Liu Qing will stay in Nanjing for the time being, while Xiaojiu, you will rush to Shanghai to protect the safety of Sister Qian and Sister Qing. We have been operating in Old Nanchang for many years, and communication is very convenient, and security is also good. No problem."
Lin Yaodong nodded, and without asking why, he and Liu Qing got into the car and left.
The old Taoist glanced at the telegram in An Yi's hand and smiled slightly: "What happened? Are you so nervous?" Shen Fengdao also looked at him with concern.
An Yi sighed: "Han Yu has arrived in Lao Nanchang. She was sent with many Red Army commanders and family members, and Kang Ze is also there. Now it's going to give me a headache again!"
Shen Fengdao asked strangely: "Who is Han Yu? Is he also a commander of the Red Army? Is it difficult for them to persuade you to join the Red Army?"
An Yi shook his head: "No, this is entirely their own problem. Due to the purges and purges within the Soviet area, many people were considered to be counterrevolutionaries and were shot together. The people who were sent here this time were the first Among those rescued by the division's special agents after discovering it and using tactics of seducing people from the east and attacking in the west was Han Yu, the captain of the Red Guard who had been taking care of me since the crash."
Lao Dao and Shen Fengdao looked at each other and nodded silently.
An Yi pondered for a while and made up his mind. He looked much more relaxed and asked with a smile: "Do you know who escorted these people to Old Nanchang?"
Lao Shoudao pretended to count: "Who else could it be? It must be that brat Dongzi. In the past two years, you two brothers have become bigger and bigger in officialdom, but have less and less time to get together. This time, he has a conscience. I know how to use public services to go home privately."
"Yes, now Dongzi is the colonel and commander of the fourth brigade of the First Division, and is only one step away from the general. Looking back on when I first arrived in Guangzhou and was rescued by Dongzi and Uncle Dao, and we were so poor, I feel A lot of emotions, almost eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and our lives have also undergone earth-shaking changes." At this point, An Yi burst into laughter, pointed at the plane and said: "Stop talking, let's go back to old Nanchang first to see what's going on. Let’s talk about what happened! Let’s go, get on the plane!”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, inside An Yi's apartment in the old Nanchang Rongjun Community.
"This time when the 128th Anti-Japanese War broke out in Shanghai, our First Division was stationed in Nanjing, Changzhou, Wuxi and other places as backup, ready to respond to the Songhu battlefield. Now that the Sino-Japanese armistice is imminent, the 19th Route Army and the Fifth Army have withdrawn from the front After we came down, our first division was even more idle. The brothers stayed in the barracks, and even their bones were almost rusty. I asked for leave from Commander Hu and brought the team to Jiangxi for training. This is what happened next. ."
Colonel Xu Yifan, who was born in the Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Division, was once a fierce general under Gu Changfeng, and later served as a squad leader under Ding Zhicheng. After the Second Northern Expedition, he was seconded to the First Division to help form the special task force and served as its leader. Division's current situation, and then turned to the topic: "Most of the people we rescued this time were commanders of the Red 20 Army at all levels. It is said that they were implicated in some Gannan incident, and the captain of the Jinhua Mountain Red Guards Political commissar Han Yu and her younger brother Santongzi, the Red Army actually launched such a large-scale purge within them, and even the underage children were not spared, which is beyond my expectation."
When An Yi and Lao Shoudao met, Dongzi, whose eyes were still red, said: "Brother, this Han Yu was in a state of despair after being rescued. He kept saying 'I'm not' in his mouth, which made people confused. I heard other
People say it’s because of you and the two siblings that they were implicated, what’s going on?”
Kang Ze, a fellow Sichuan man on the side, also looked at An Yi with interest.
An Yi did not answer directly, but asked strangely: "Dongzi, I remember you are the commander of the fourth brigade of the first division, right? Why are you acting with the special agent group? And Brother Zhaomin, the Fuxing Society has just been established, you
If you didn't stay in Nanjing, why did you come to Nanchang?"
"Now that the Fuxing Society is chaired by Teng Jie, He Zhonghan, Dai Li and Gui Yongqing, I still want to go back to Nanchang to lead my battalion Ranger Corps to supervise the local cleanup operations and restore the exercise of political power. This time our Rangers originally wanted to wait for the Red Army
After the internal strife in the army, they were all captured, but I didn’t want the First Division’s special agents to mess up the good thing. I heard that one of these people had an affair with you, so I came to have a look, so that I can deal with it when the Chairman asks about it in the future."
Kangze was the first to answer.
Dongzi was a little worried. Seeing An Yi's concerned eyes, he had to bite the bullet and said: "Brother, the eldest brother Shoushan (Hu Zongnan) came to talk to me and said that his qualifications are still low and he is afraid that the tree will attract wind, so he will not be here for a long time.
It is planned to reorganize the first division into
Army. In this way, the First Division is limited to the divisional framework. It is impossible for the brigade and regimental commanders of our division to be promoted in a short time, so he asked me to come back and ask Uncle Dao whether he insisted on the First Division.
If you continue to work, you should go back to my brother, so that he can make arrangements in advance."
An Yi thought for a while and said: "You graduated from Huangpu Management Department. Although you have made many military exploits after entering the First Division, compared to ordinary people, your promotion speed is already very fast, and your foundation is not solid. You are a brigade commander.
It's not even a year yet, so I think you should hone your position as brigade commander for a year or two. By then, if Brother Hu doesn't expand the army, I will find a way to transfer you to me. What do you think?"
"I know what to do, brother. In fact, I also feel that I am not experienced enough in leading troops and commanding, but I am also worried that sitting in the position of brigade commander will affect the progress of others, so I am sincerely afraid. This is the best arrangement now.
That's all." Dongzi said happily.
An Yi nodded and then returned to the previous topic: "After I crashed, I was rescued by Han Yu and her Red Guards, and then I was escorted to the 28th Red Regiment, and then I was rescued by Ding Zhicheng and the others.
.During this period, it was Han Yu who healed my wounds and took care of my daily life. I guess she was knocked down because of my involvement."
Kang Ze sighed: "That must be the case! Since the Central Committee of the Communist Party entered the Soviet area, the campaign to suppress counterrevolutionaries has become more and more intense. As far as I know, from last year to this year, Xu Jishen, Liu Di, Xie Hanchang, Li Baifang, and Cong Ynzhong
, Zhou Weijiong, Xiong Shouxuan, Jiang Jingtang and others were killed. All those who passed by our army, whether they rebelled or surrendered, were arrested. All those who came from landlords and rich peasant families were arrested.
Anyone who is an intellectual, or even someone who has studied for several years, will be arrested and censored. The scope of the purge of counter-revolutionaries is getting wider and wider, extending from the army to local areas. It is shocking! I guess it is shocking!
This Korean girl was labeled a big hat just because she was nicer to you. But that's fine, the more chaotic they are, the easier it will be for our army to attack."
An Yi was thinking about what she had done to allow Han Yu and her brother to be targeted for suppression. Suddenly she heard a familiar name and was shocked: "What did you say, Senior Brother Xu Jishen was killed?" Xu Jishen was One of An Yi's best friends when he was in Huangpu suddenly heard the bad news and was like a thunderbolt.
Seeing An Yi's expression, Kang Ze knew that he had a close relationship with Xu Jishen, and nodded with a heavy expression: "Actually speaking, your senior brother Xu is also an outstanding person. He was the member of the 'China Young Soldiers Federation' when he was at Whampoa Military Academy. After graduation, he participated in the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition and made great achievements. After the July 15th Incident, Wang Jingwei invited him with the high position of commander of the independent division, but he was unmoved. Later, he went to Hubei, Henan, and Anhui regions. Together with Xu Xiangqian and Zeng Zhongsheng, he formed the Red Army and successively won the battles of Yingshan, Sigudun, Guangshan, Jinjiazhai, Xianghuoling, etc., which suddenly expanded the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Area. In April last year, Zhang Guotao and Chen Changhao , Shen Zemin arrived in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui, and Zhang Guotao was appointed Secretary of the Central Bureau of the Soviet Area and Chairman of the Military Commission, and Chen Changhao was appointed Secretary of the Central Bureau of the Young Communist Party of the Soviet Area, with full authority to lead the work of the Soviet Area. Your senior brother Xu was soon targeted by Zhang Guotao! "
An Yi's eyes were filled with tears: "It stands to reason that Senior Brother Xu has made such great contributions and has such a high reputation in the eyes of the Red Army commanders and fighters. How could he be knocked down all of a sudden? What's the inside story?"
Kang Ze thought for a while and comforted him: "Xiao Yi, no matter how Xu Jishen treated you before, he is our opponent and enemy after all, so it is understandable that we use any means. The key is to see if the enemy falls into his trap." , what will I do? Do you think what I said is right?"
Seeing An Yi nodded understandingly, Kang Ze continued: "Last August, Brother Mu Yi (Zeng Kuqing) wrote a letter to Xu Jishen, urging him to return to the principal's staff. The principal was determined to reuse him regardless of past suspicions. Xu Jishen immediately The person and the letter were handed over to the senior officials of the Soviet area. Zhang Guotao felt as if he had found a treasure after seeing it, and immediately launched an investigation into Xu Jishen. Soon, his security department uncovered a mutiny plot. Under severe torture, the person involved confessed that Xu Jishen, Zhou Weijiong, Xiong Shouxuan and others were involved. , Zhang Guotao immediately ordered the arrest of all relevant personnel.
Soon, you, Senior Brother Xu, will also have Zhou Weijiong, commander of the Red 11th Division, Xiong Mengxuan, director of the Political Department of the Red 11th Division, Li Ronggui, staff director of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Military Commission, Ke Baiyuan, staff director of the Red 10th Division, Jiang Jingtang, former political commissar of the Red 33rd Division, Wang Peiwu, director of the Military Political Department, Secretary-General Chen Hanxiang, political commissar of the 12th Red Division Pang Yongjun, successor political commissar Wu Jingchi, deputy commander of the 12th Red Division Xiao Fang, deputy commander of the 10th Red Division Cheng Shaoshan, chief of staff Fan Tuo, director of the Political Department Guan Shuyi, and leader of the 28th Red Regiment Pan Guifu , Ding Chao, deputy commander of the 28th Regiment, Gao Jiandou, leader of the Red 30th Regiment, political commissar Feng Jun, Wang Ming, leader of the Red 35th Regiment, Wei Mengxian, chief of staff of the Red 12th Division and leader of the Red 36th Regiment, and others were arrested one after another.
The security department used severe methods to extract confessions, including torture, kneeling on benches, feeding them pepper water, and sitting on the tiger bench. Many people could not endure the torture and had to confess randomly. As a result, more and more people were implicated and more and more people were arrested. Soon, the massacre began. , in Baique Garden, Guangshan, Henan, your senior brother, Zhou Weijiong, Xiong Shouxuan and others, as well as a large number of battalion and company-level cadres, were brutally murdered. Among them, your senior brother Xu was tried in public. He argued hard, but was tied to a horse and dragged. The skin and flesh were torn. In the end, the Communist Party’s security department strangled him and Zhou Weijiong secretly in the cell. At that time, your senior brother Xu was just thirty years old and Zhou Weijiong was only twenty-six years old. Your senior brother Xu’s wife Wang Wangchun was the secretary of the division’s political department. She was pregnant at the time and was secretly killed.
How about it, Xiaoyi, have you seen the cruel internal struggle of the Communist Party? So it’s better to stay with the principal. The principal is merciful and never convicts his generals for unfounded charges!"
When Kang Ze talked about it later, he looked at An Yi with bright eyes and a half-smile expression on his face. He obviously wanted to take the opportunity to warn An Yi and let him cut off his inextricable ties with the Red Army.
An Yi's eyes were so red that he clenched his teeth tightly, and a trace of blood seeped out from the corners of his lips without realizing it.
