Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

The thin young man glanced at Political Commissar Fang.

His eyes also brightened

Political Commissar Fang rushed to the thin young man

Nor do they despise the "dirtiness" of the thin young man.

Hug him

The thin young man could no longer bear it

burst into tears

It's been a long time

The thin young man choked and said, "Secretary Fang Fang"

Political Commissar Fang also woke up from his excitement

Holding the hand of a thin young man

Walk to Li Yan

Said: "Commander Li"

"This is Comrade Chen Da from the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region"

"I used to be the secretary of the Workers' Movement Committee of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region Provincial Committee."

"Chen Da is the military minister of Xunwu County"

“We were together for two whole years.”

"Comrade Chen Da is a fierce general in the Guangdong-Jiangxi border area."

Li Yan had no doubts

Take a step forward

Hold Chen Da's hand

Said: "I am Li Yan"

"Comrade Chen Da, you have worked hard"

Political Commissar Fang quickly introduced: "Chen Da"

"Comrade Li Yan was the commander of the 24th Red Division"

"He is still the commander-in-chief of the front line advancing into Jiangxi this time."

Chen Da asked in surprise: "Red 24th Division?"

"The 24th Red Division was not breaking through the Ninth Route..."

Li Yan said: "This is not the place to talk"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Speaking of this

Li Yan turned around and said to Tong Liang: "Go"

"Get Comrade Chen Da some food."

After Chen Da had eaten

Political Commissar Fang then explained Li Yan's identity and the development of the Southwest Fujian Military Region.

Chen Da sighed

Said: "Since the main force of our Red Army left the Soviet area..."

"The southern part of Jiangxi had already been encircled and suppressed by Yu Han's troops of the Guangdong Army."

"Add to that the counterattacks by the 'returning home group' formed by the landlords and local tyrants."

"The Gannan Military Region was disbanded, and the Gannan spies and Organization D were destroyed."

"The families of the Red Army and the civilians close to the Red Army were massacred"

"The revolution in southern Jiangxi has reached its lowest point"

"Later, the Red Army suffered heavy losses in the Nine-Route Breakout"

"To preserve the backbone of the revolution"

"Leaders Chen and Xiang led the Gannan Military Region headquarters to move to the border between Jiangxi and Guangdong."

"And other party and government agencies and troops that broke through to the southern border of Jiangxi"

"This is how the ZG Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi Special Committee and the Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi Guerrilla Detachment were reorganized."

"correct"

"Among them is Comrade Zhou Ping, the commander of the 24th Red Division."

"But the enemy is strong and we are weak"

“Fought several small-scale battles”

'Severe damage'

“Having to abandon the town”

"Into the remote countryside, mountains"

"In these mountainous areas, we use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare."

“Some returning home groups were annihilated.”

"Those returning home group members were scared, and the regular army of the national army was limited in manpower."

“That’s how we survived.”

Director Fang asked, "Chen Da..."

"Since you can survive in the mountains"

“Why were they captured by the Nationalist Army?”

Chen Da sighed and said, "After the Guangdong-Guangxi Incident in June this year..."

"The Guangdong and Hunan armies suddenly withdrew from southern Jiangxi on a large scale"

"The Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi Special Committee felt this was our opportunity to grow and develop."

"So the Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi guerrillas were divided into many detachments."

"To various places in southern Jiangxi"

"Development"

"Gannan has a good mass base"

“We developed very quickly at the beginning.”

"In just half a month, our Gannan guerrillas expanded from more than a thousand to more than 3000 people."

"But the 46th Division of the National Army suddenly arrived in southern Jiangxi with five security groups."

"When these people come"

"They continuously resorted to tactics such as 'blockhouse siege', 'economic blockade', and 'collective punishment by the baojia system'"

"Not only will the newly ignited red flames be extinguished directly"

"It also plunged the southern Jiangxi region into white terror."

"We had to disperse again in the mountains of southern Jiangxi"

"Hidden during the day and out at night, sleeping in the open air, hungry and thirsty, death is always around the corner"

“The reason why I was arrested”

"It was also because a guerrilla unit I led was trapped in Muxia Mountain north of Xunwu County for four or five months."

"Lack of food, salt and medicine"

“It’s still winter.”

"Many comrades died of starvation, freezing, and disease."

"A week ago"

"We heard that the 46th Division of the Nationalist Army and the Security Corps are concentrated in Xinfeng."

"Encircle and suppress General Chen and his men"

"So I took two people and ventured into Xunwu City."

“I want to raise some supplies for my comrades.”

"Who knew we had just arrived at Tukeng Village, north of Xunwu City?"

"He was discovered by Xie You's security team."

“We turned and ran”

"Xie You's guard team is chasing behind."

"I ran for an hour"

“We are so hungry that we can’t run anymore.”

“They arrested him.”

"The other two comrades were beaten to death under Xie You's torture"

"And Xie You saw me when our 50th Red Army Regiment attacked Chengjiang Town."

“They know I’m a Red Army cadre.”

"You want to get valuable information from me."

“That’s why we didn’t kill him.”

Speaking of this

Chen Da sighed

Said: "We can no longer carry out any revolutionary activities in southern Jiangxi."

“Even survival is difficult”

Li Yan and Political Commissar Fang were both silent.

They all thought that the revolutionary situation in Jiangxi was dire.

But I never expected the situation to get so bad.

Li Yan asked: "Comrade Chen Da, you have worked hard."

"I want to ask"

What is the current situation in southern Jiangxi?

“Our people are hiding there.”

Chen Da said: "Since we were dispersed for the second time"

“The troops are roughly divided into three areas.”

"One is that Comrade Zhang Kai and I took these hundred or so people to hide in Muxia Mountain in the north of Xunwu County."

"The second group is Commander Li Tian and more than 200 people."

"Active in Qinglong Mountain in the northern part of Longnan"

"There are more than 400 main force members of the Gannan guerrillas."

"Brought to Youyou Mountain by Chen Xiang"

“But that was a few months ago.”

“I just said that.”

"The 46th Division of the Nationalist Army and the Security Corps are now encircling Youshan."

“I don’t know what’s going on right now.”

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Political Commissar Fang..."

“I don’t see the crisis in southern Jiangxi.”

“We need to speed up.”

Political Commissar Fang nodded

He said confidently: "Yes."

"But now we have the help of Comrade Chen Da and the hundreds of Red Army soldiers from Muxia Mountain."

"Plus, Xunwu City has a good mass base."

“I think three days at most.”

"Xunwu City can become a stable red county town for us to advance into Jiangxi"

Before Li Yan could speak

Chen Da frowned and said, "The current Xunwu County is not the same as before."

“I don’t think it’ll take three days.”

Li Yan and Political Commissar Fang were both stunned.

Political Commissar Fang knew Chen Da and asked, "Chen Da, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean by 'The current Xunwu County is not the same as the previous Xunwu County'?"

Chen Da said with some discomfort in his heart: "I just said that we just arrived at Tukeng Village in Xunwu City."

"Xie You discovered it."

"The reason is that we were betrayed by the people of Tukeng Village."

"Tukeng Village used to be the red village we trusted the most."

“But they are afraid now.”

"It means that the people of Xunwu County no longer trust us."

Director Fang quickly asked, "What's going on?"

Chen Da's eyes turned red: "It's all our fault."

"After the main force of the Red Army left the Soviet area"

"Those landlords and local tycoons are back"

"As soon as I came back, I started to counterattack"

"Take back all the land, houses and properties that were divided among us."

"Even so"

"The common people are not afraid, they know the Red Army is still there"

"But when we were driven away by the 46th Division for the second time..."

"These nationalist troops and their white dogs began to slaughter civilians crazily."

"No matter whether it's a woman or a young one"

"Anyone who is related to our Red Army"

“Leave no one behind”

"For a while"

"Every family in southern Jiangxi wears mourning clothes and holds funerals."

Speaking of this

Chen Da burst into tears
