"From now on, all brothers cannot go out. We must implement a top-secret plan to capture the heads of the 24th Division of the Red Army!"
In April 1937, in southern Jiangxi, a military meeting of the 46th Division of the Chiang Army was being held secretly. Commander Jiang said to the generals attending the meeting with full confidence.
Why are the enemies so confident? Because there were traitors inside the Red Army .
At that time, the Red Army lost contact with its superiors, and the enemy formulated a criminal plan:
asked the traitor to issue an order to the Red Army in the name of the headquarters to trap Red Army cadres into the enemy's ambush circle.
The main force of the Red Army had already arrived in northern Shaanxi at this time, but a small number of teams were left in southern Jiangxi to insist on guerrilla operations. Under the leadership of Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others, they stood firm in the Soviet area and fought tens of times the Chiang army.
Red 24th Division is a team that stays in South to carry out guerrilla operations.
So, who is the traitor who betrayed the Red Army? Why is the enemy so confident? I am sure that senior generals of the Red Army will be deceived?
This person's name is Chen Hai, also known as Chen Hong, a native of Jiangxi.
He participated in the revolution at the age of 17 and was a soldier of the Red Sixth Army .
In a battle, Chen Hai lost contact with the large army to cover his comrades.
But he was strong-willed. After great hardships, he finally found the organization and returned to the revolutionary ranks.
Because Chen Hai is educated, the organization sent him to invade the Guangdong Army of Chen Jitang to develop the team and do military movement work.
936 Guangdong and Guangxi Incident , Chen Hai was ordered to go to the 46th Division of the Chiang Army to continue his military movement.
Chen Yi
But soon after, he was exposed; this exposure was purely an accident.
On the way back from Meiling, someone suddenly greeted him: "Isn't this Xiao Chen?"
Chen Hai looked up and saw that this person knew Gong Chu, the old leader of the Red Army.
When Gong Chu was the commander of the Gannan Military Region, Chen Hai used to be a guard for him, so he was familiar with it.
However, at this time, Gong Chu was wearing a Chiang military uniform, which made Chen Hai look confused.
Gong Chu is from Guangdong and is a child prodigy. It only took more than a year for primary school courses.
He joined the organization in 1924, earlier than Lin Biao, Xu Xiangqian and He Long, and served as Chief of Staff of the Red Seventh Army in his early years.
1334, Gong Chu served as Chief of Staff of the Military Region. Even though he was dismissed for a while later, he served as commander of the Guangdong-Jiangxi Military Region shortly after his comeback.
shows that Gong Chu has profound qualifications and outstanding abilities.
However, in May 1935, Gong Chu, who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Red Army in the Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi Border Regions, defected to the Yuhan Strategy Headquarters of the Guangdong Army and turned into an enemy.
According to the principle of underground work at that time, there was no horizontal connection between revolutionary organizations in various places and various units of the Red Army guerrillas. Therefore, Chen Hai was not aware of Gong Chu's rebellion before.
Yu Hanmou turned out to be Chen Jitang's subordinate. He was ordered to reach a tacit understanding with the Red Army and did not violate the river. However, after Chen Jitang failed to support the Guangxi warlords in the fall of 1936, he failed to launch the Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong Incident, Yu Han planned to turn against Jiang's loyalty and began to "encircle and suppress" the Red Army.
At this time, Yu Hanmou was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army by Jiang and was stationed in Dayu .
Gong Chu
Seeing Gong Chu’s military uniform, Chen Hai understood everything and hurriedly explained: “I have long since left the Red Army, and I’m doing business now!”
Gong Chu is an old fox. He saw the flaws in Chen Hai’s flashing eyes and took him back for interrogation.
The enemy tortured Chen Hai, but he did not surrender.
Gong Chu was so tough that he was soft and sent He Changlin, who was also a traitor to the Red Army, to show up and say it.
He Changlin was originally a Red Army cadre. Later, he rebelled and surrendered to the enemy and was appointed as the commander of Guangdong-Jiangxi guerrillas.
He Changlin is the rear director of the Red Army command organ and was persuaded to surrender by Gong Chu.
It turned out that after Gong Chu rebelled in the spring of 1935, he was determined to make great contributions. In October of the same year, he lured his former comrades to a place called Beishan and set up an ambush there in advance.
As a result, Gong Chu's plan succeeded, and only the team leader "Zhang Fei" Liu Aigu and six or seven other comrades rushed out of the venue with injuries and escaped from the tiger's mouth.
More than 60 Beishan guerrillas died heroically, and more than 30 were arrested, and He Changlin was also one of the arrested people.
Under coercion and temptation, He Changlin followed Gong Chu's footsteps, betrayed the revolution, and became a shameful traitor.
He Changlin tasted the sweetness after his rebellion, so he persuaded Chen Hai with his own personal experience:
"Look at Xiang Ying and the others, they were surrounded by Meiling and were isolated from the world, they were not full or warm in food, and they lived an inhuman life."
"It won't take long to be eliminated, and they have no future with them, so why bother?"
"Look at me again, the monthly salary is 200 yuan (3 yuan a month living expenses of the Red Army), they are delicious and drink, and they also married a young and beautiful concubine..."
Hearing He Changlin said this, Chen Hai was shaken and became a shameful traitor.
In order to show his loyalty to Jiang Jun, he betrayed Huang Yaguang, an insider of the Jiangxi-Guangdong Border Special Committee.
Then, Chen Hai also showed up and persuaded Huang Yaguang to surrender, so that the other party would also be a shameless traitor.
In order to give the enemy a decent letter of fame, then get promoted and make a fortune, they took the initiative to propose to the enemy that they would lure Xiang Ying and others down the mountain and enter the ambush circle of the Guangdong army.
Gong Chu was ecstatic when he heard this and immediately contacted the 46th Division of the Jiang Army, and wanted to capture Xiang Ying and Chen Yi in one place.
Chen Hai is just an underground worker. Xiang Ying and others are so naive. Will they believe them and be fooled easily?
, it is really possible.
is not that they are low in vigilance, but that it is related to the situation at that time.
At that time, the officers and soldiers of the Red 24th Army and guerrillas were blocked in Meiling by the enemy.
The enemy has built multiple blockade lines around Meiling. They have also adopted many vicious means such as searching mountains, burning mountains, immigrating villages, sealing pits, and siegeing them, trying to trap this isolated Red Army team in the mountains.
The difficulties at that time were beyond imagination. It is not difficult to see from Chen Yi's , one of the three chapters of Meiling , " Gannan Guerrilla Words ":
"It's noon, and the hungry intestines sound like a drum. It's been three months since the food is blocked. The rice is fine in the bag, and wild vegetables and water are boiled. I sigh that there is a shortage of food, and I won't taste the meat in March..."
By the way, when the Red Army started the Long March, Chen Yi was just injured, so he stayed to fight the guerrillas.
Due to the strict enemy's seal, the Red Army was besieged in Meiling and isolated from the world.
Without radio, they lost contact with their superiors.
Xiang Ying and the others had no way to know what happened outside.
The only way is through Chen Hai.
Because Chen Hai is a liaison officer, the information is transmitted through him.
Chen Hai went into the mountain every few days and brought back some newspapers from Jiang Jun, so that Xiang Ying, Chen Yi and others could still obtain some useful information in the mountains.
During this period, Chen Hai was generally notified to attend any meetings held by the Red Army.
Xiang Ying and Chen Yi trust Chen Hai.
According to common sense, if Chen Hai had betrayed, he would have betrayed everyone long ago, and would he wait until this time?
But no one expected that Chen Hai had already rebelled.
On this day, Chen Hai appeared in Meiling and took out a letter to Xiang Ying and Chen Yi.
After reading it, the two couldn't suppress their inner excitement. The letter came from the "negotiation commissioner".
It has been more than two years and has not yet contacted the organization. Now that there is finally news, how can they not be excited?
The letter said that the special commissioner was at the Chengnan Hotel in Dayu County and hoped that Xiang Ying and Chen Yi would go together to accept the instructions.
Chen Yi took the initiative to ask Xiang Ying to go to the joints, listen to the instructions, or take the special envoy to the mountain.
That morning, Chen Yi got up early.
He shaved his face, put on a half-new gown, top hat, and glasses.
Accompanied by Huang Zanlong, the secretary of the Meishan District Party Committee, walked down Meiling along the winding path.
At noon, they came to the city and headed straight to the sugar shop at the joint site, step by step towards the enemy's ambush circle.
At the joint location, the enemy has ambushed the heavy troops, just waiting for the Red Army leaders to appear.
However, the next thing happened, Chen Yi and the others turned into good luck.
As he walked, Huang Zanlong suddenly pointed to a family and said, "This is Chen Hai's home." Huang Zanlong lives in , Dayu County, , and is naturally very familiar with the local situation.
Chen Yi was so thirsty that he smoked, so he said to Huang Zanlong: "Go to his house to drink a little water."
So, they came to Chen Hai's house, claiming to be his friends, and passing by to ask for a drink.
In the yard, a clean and beautiful young woman was washing clothes. After hearing this, she quickly got up and welcomed her warmly.
Chen Yi followed the young woman into the house to drink water, while Huang Zanlong went to the thatched cottage because of his internal urgency.
Chen Yi asked casually out of courtesy: "My brother and sister, where is Brother Chen?"
The young woman did not think much, and replied: "I'm going to the League headquarters."
Chen Yi is from Sichuan . She couldn't understand the southern Gannan dialect and mistakenly listened to the " League headquarters" as a "sugar shop". This mistake made Chen Yi escape.
Because Guangqian Candy Shop is our underground contact point, and according to discipline, we cannot tell our family.
Chen Yi was very vigilant, and after hearing this, he began to feel irritated: "Guangqian Candy Shop is a secret contact point, how could Chen Hong tell his wife in violation of discipline?"
. When Huang Zanlong came out of the thatched cottage, Chen Yi pulled him around and left without saying a word, and headed straight to the "Guangqian Candy Shop".
Chen Yi and the others came to a place not far from the candy shop and stopped and observed quietly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at
, you can see the clues at first glance.
There are people coming and going in front of other stores, and only Guangqian Tangshang Store can be lost.
Chen Yi felt something was wrong, so he asked Huang Zanlong to go and inquire with the people around him.

An old lady quietly told them: "You don't know, the sugar shop has changed its new boss, and the original boss Tan has disappeared. He hasn't seen him for a long time."
A middle-aged man said on the side: "There are no goods in the store, the things sold are expensive, and they speak very badly, and they don't look like those who do business at all."
An old man said, "Some people who enter and exit the store go shopping, but most of them go in and out empty-handed."
Chen Yi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and whispered to Huang Zanlong, "The situation has changed, we must leave immediately."
Seeing that Chen Yi's serious expression, Huang Zanlong did not ask much. The two entered an alley, walked through the hall of an acquaintance, passed through the side street, and walked out of the city along an alley and road.
To prevent accidents, the two acted separately.
When Chen Yi and Huang Zanlong broke up, they met a team of fully armed soldiers of Jiang army on the road.
It turned out that the cunning Gong Chu was worried that Xiang Ying and Chen Yi would not be deceived, so he decided to split the troops into two groups. Under Huang Yaguang's command, they raided at the joint location; on the other side, Chen Hai led the way, they went directly into the mountains to attack the Red Army.
At a fork in the road, Chen Yi met the enemy's defender.
The enemy soldiers stopped Chen Yi and asked fiercely, "Who is?"
Chen Yi replied, "I teach in the city, go to Meiling to buy tea."
A platoon leader lost his guard when he saw Chen Yi being gentle and started talking with him.
accidentally revealed that he went to Meiling to perform the task.
Chen Yi secretly complained when he heard this. These people must be heading for the Red Army. He wanted to send the letter quickly because Xiang Ying was unprepared.
So, Chen Yi was chatting with the platoon leader while looking for opportunities to escape.
walked more than a mile. Chen Yi saw a toilet on the side of the road and said he wanted to get rid of his hands, so he pushed the door and went in.
The back wall of the toilet was very short, so Chen Yi turned over and walked into the vegetable field, and quickly went up the mountain and climbed into the woods.
The platoon leader followed the team and did not have any doubts about this "teacher".
Chen Yi came to the foot of the mountain and caught up with Chiang's army surrounding the command headquarters.
Seeing this, Chen Yi immediately shot two shots on the mountain, then bent down and crawled into a winter thatched bush.
Hearing the gunshot, Chiang army soldiers were in a daze and fired fire, and the enemy's whereabouts were exposed.
Hearing the gunshot, the sentry immediately sent a signal, and Xiang Ying and the others immediately moved.
commander of the enemy battalion commander who surrounded the Red Army was angry and had to arrange troops to scatter and search. Chen Yi had not yet run far, and his heart sank hard:
This winter thatched bush is only one or two hundred meters wide, with an open land outside and surrounded by enemies.
can't run outward, so you can only stay here.
Chen Yi thought: It won’t take long before the enemy will search for his own.
He pulled out his pistol from his waist again and turned on the insurance.
At this moment, he heard a familiar voice: "Don't search this piece of winter grass, it's burned!"
"Yes, burn it!" Jiang Jun soldiers echoed.
Soon, the soldiers lit the winter grass and the fire began to burn.
Another strong wind blew in the sky, and the fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind helped the fire to make it look like it was about to burn Chen Yi.
Just when the fire was still fifty or sixty meters away from Chen Yi, heavy rain suddenly fell in the sky.
The fire has been extinguished before it has reached Chen Yi.
Chen Yi continued to stay in the winter soot, not daring to move.
After the night falls, Chen Yi is sure that all the enemies drive away before he walks out of the winter sodough.
The next morning, Chen Yicai met Xiang Ying and others on the mountain on the west side of Zhaikeng.
Chen Hai searched Meiling for 5 days, but he could not see Xiang Ying and the others, so he had to take the troops out of Meiling with his frustrated look on his face.
The enemy's conspiracy to destroy the Red Army in southern Ganzhou failed, and Chen Hai and Gong Chu, the traitors, were half happy.
Red Army rebel Gong Chu returned to his roots in his later years, and his relatives in his hometown did not dislike him
