1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

What was the purpose of everyone sacrificing their lives and blood for the revolution and trying to defeat the Kuomintang?

Obviously, we are not making revolution for the sake of making revolution, nor are we defeating enemies for the sake of defeating them, but are doing so to realize communism, to make China rise again and no longer suffer humiliation, and to enable the people to live a happy life.

In this case, we must make early plans from the beginning, rather than waiting until that day comes and being helpless.

It’s not that we didn’t attach importance to economic and livelihood work before, but we regarded economic and livelihood work as a prerequisite for supporting military struggle!

From today on, the CCP cannot continue to act like this. It must prioritize economic and livelihood issues and view all national issues from the perspective and mentality of a ruling party!

Thinking of this, Li Desheng suddenly understood and immediately clapped his hands and laughed:

"Okay, okay! Comrade Shiwu is right! Our vision is too narrow!" He said to Meng Yongqian:

"Comrade Yongqian, the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee really needs to come up with a plan for how Shaanxi's land will be planned, how cities will be managed, and how resources will be allocated and integrated across the country..."

"You'll be under a lot of pressure in the future. If you're short on people or resources, feel free to report to me! I'll help you coordinate!"

"Yes! Comrade Chairman!"

The two of them didn't notice the slight curl of UMP45's mouth.

Now, consciously or unconsciously, a model has begun to take shape in which the provincial Party committee leads the province's economic work and indeed all other work. Will this lead to the same ridiculous situation as in the past, when the province was disrupted, manipulated, and played around by the democratic parties and the National People's Congress?

334 Arrested Liu Zhidan

While Li Desheng was discussing the future work in Shaanxi Province with Meng Yongqian and others, he was commanding the main force of the Red Army to cross Weinan and continue northward towards Yan'an.

At this time, about 3000 Red Army advance teams with a special mission had arrived one after another near Zhengning, Gansu, more than 100 kilometers away from Weinan.

"...Fellow villager, have you really heard that a bandit group with red flags passed through here?"

Xu Haidong, former commander of the 4th Independent Division of the Red Fourth Front Army and current commander of the 1st Advance Division of the Red Army heading north, looked at the desolate scene before him and muttered to himself.

He didn't expect that most of the local people didn't know about the existence of the Red Army. He searched for a long time before he found an old man who had heard of the Red Army.

After finally promoting the policy and doing some good things to gain the other party's trust, I asked such an answer.

"Yes! I'm so wicked that I can deceive a young man like you, but can I deceive our Red Army?"

The old man in the white turban stared, fumbled on the dusty ground for a while, and found a bullet head, stuffing it into Xu Haidong's hand:

"Look! There was a lot of fighting here a few days ago! I could hear it clearly while I was herding sheep! There were so many Kuomintang soldiers!"

"...Well..."

That seems to be correct.

The people waving red flags and being chased by Kuomintang soldiers could only be the Red Army.

As for being described as a "bandit" by the common people...hahahaha...

Xu Haidong laughed awkwardly in his heart.

Not long ago, the Red Fourth Regiment was scolded by the special envoy sent by the Central Committee as "full of banditry and without any Red Army style."

At this time, several soldiers came over carrying a young man who had been captured from somewhere.

"Report!" "What's the matter?"

"Comrade Division Commander! We've caught this sneaky guy! He claims to be a Red Army cadre!"

"Um?"

This statement immediately piqued Xu Haidong's interest.

In fact, they caught quite a few sneaky guys along the way, but most of them were bandit scouts, so they had a few fights with the bandits along the way - of course, they easily defeated them all;

There are all kinds of self-proclaimed people, but this is the first one to call himself a "Red Army cadre." Could he be from Liu Zhidan's army?

Commander Xu looked at the young man who looked less than 20 years old and had a gentle and honest appearance and asked:

"Who are you? Which unit are you from?"

"Who are you? Which unit are you from?"

The young man was not afraid at all, and even asked Xu Haidong back. His attitude was not arrogant, but very firm, as if saying, "I won't say anything unless you say it first."

If Xu had the hot temper he used to have, he would have definitely cursed back, and maybe even slapped the other person twice to wake him up.

But after experiencing Li Desheng's major rectification movement in the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area and the Red Fourth Front Army (which has not yet stopped), if he continued to do so, he would be afraid that his future would be too smooth.

Putting aside other things, Xu Haidong's position as a "pioneer officer" was snatched from Ni Zhiliang and others after a long period of begging, throwing tantrums, and "making wishes" for a long time!

Therefore, Commander Xu introduced gently:

"I am Xu Haidong, commander of the Red Army's Anti-Japanese Advance Division. I am now marching north to fight against the Japanese under the orders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. As I'm passing through here, can you tell me your name and your unit?"

",

The young man's eyes showed doubt. It was obvious that he had never heard of the "Red Army Advance Division" and did not quite trust the other party.

But after all, Xu Haidong, who was more powerful, had already introduced himself, so he said generously: "My name is Xi Zhongxun. I was assigned to work here by the Shaanxi Provincial Committee. Now..." The future man's father was at the lowest point in his life at this time.

In 1930, he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 3rd Brigade of the Guard Cavalry under Yang Hucheng's command in Changwu County to carry out military mobilization work. He quickly established a successful Party group with Li Bingrong, Li Tesheng, and others, recruiting more than 30 members and essentially controlling the battalion.

On April 1 of this year, he organized the "Liangdang Mutiny" with Liu Linpu and others, taking away nearly 300 people. However, when they were moving to Gansu and preparing to join Liu Zhidan's forces, they accidentally entered the territory of the big bandit Wang Jiezi and were defeated by him.

Xi Zhongxun was injured and hid at a friend's house to recuperate. After he recovered, he wanted to look for Liu Zhidan, but was caught by Xu Haidong who had just arrived.

"Hmm... I've never heard of you or anything like that..." Xu Haidong asked, stroking his chin.

"Do you have any proof?" "Uh..."

Xi Zhongxun looked at Xu Haidong with a speechless look. What he meant was, as a Communist Party member, how could I carry my ID card with me when I go out in places like Shaanxi and Gansu?

What to bring?

Party emblem or party membership card?

Are you afraid that you won't die fast enough?

Xu Haidong also realized that he had asked an extremely stupid question. Seeing Xi Zhongxun's strange look, he raised his hand in anger and was about to hit him, but suddenly the smell of steamed buns made him shudder, so he put his hand down and waved it lightly:

"Since you can't prove your identity, then lock me up first until you can prove your identity!"

"As I said, after the mutiny failed, I was separated from Comrades Liu Linpu, Xu Tianjie, and Lü Jianren. I came here to seek support and guidance from Comrade Liu Zhidan."

Xi Zhongxun stared at Xu Haidong's dimples and said calmly:

"If I was arrested because my identity was unknown and I needed to wait for proof, I accept that. But if I was arrested because I offended you and you locked me up to teach me a lesson, then I don't think that's what a Communist Party member does."

ee,,

Xu Haidong was immediately "bluffed". Good boy!

What a bit of strategy and courage!

The reason why it is said to be strategic is that Xi cannot confirm Xu Haidong's identity;

So, if Xu is really a member of the Communist Party, this statement puts him in a difficult position; if not... hahahaha... then the worst that can happen is death!

Courageous and resourceful, this is a talent...

Xu Haidong became interested:

"Comrade, are you from Shaanxi?" "Fuping County."

As he spoke, Xi Zhongxun also breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this attitude, it was indeed the Red Army.

"Then have you ever thought about switching to work for the Red Fourth Front Army?" "Jump...jump?"

"Uh...it means to come to our place...and transfer the job to our side."

"That depends on how the party organization arranges it."

"Oh, that's easy, that's easy. We can handle it anytime..." Xu Haidong smiled and grabbed Xi Zhongxun's shoulders, acting like a gangster: "It all depends on your own wishes!"

"I still want to work in Shaanxi. I'm more familiar with this place."

"Hey! How come you, young comrade, have such strong local values? Do you think Shaanxi belongs to you personally?"

Xu Haidong immediately said seriously:

"According to what you said, I was sent by my superiors to Shaanxi, a place I'm not familiar with. Does that mean I can't carry out revolutionary work in an unfamiliar place?"

"Well..…"

Xi Zhongxun was stunned by the lecture, and the guard next to him had a hard time holding back his laughter.

Commander, Commander, aren't these the exact words that person said when he lectured you at the beginning of this year?

The man named Chen who cannot be mentioned in the Red Fourth Front Army.

"Alright, alright, a brilliant young man like you should just follow the main force of the Red Army north to fight the Japanese devils. What's the point of staying in Shaanxi and fighting this bunch of useless Kuomintang and scumbag bandits..."

,

Although he didn't understand what the new word "渣渣" was, the meaning of this sentence made Xi Zhongxun unhappy.

If the KMT army and the bandits are all useless, then what are these people who were beaten by the KMT army and the bandit militia and were forced to run around in Shaanxi and Gansu?

Waste of waste?

Of course, with Xi Zhongxun's temper, he would not turn against Xu Haidong because of this "slip of the tongue", but just said:

"Commander Xu, I advise you not to be too arrogant. Arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated." "This is not called arrogance, this is called correct judgment based on strength." Xu Haidong is very arrogant now.

Putting aside the remodeled troops' fighting spirit and desire that shocked even a "war maniac" like him, the troops' firepower alone was enough to crush any main division of the Nationalist Army.

Just a few local warlords' troops, as long as you don't do anything stupid, you can easily deal with them!

"Don't worry, no enemy here dares to attack us..."

"Report! Enemies are attacking!"

",

3,

"You just said there are no enemies, what did you say?" "...No enemy can defeat us!"

While Xu Xi and the other man were exchanging sarcastic remarks, two men were discussing the situation of Xu Haidong's troops in the middle of a hill two kilometers away.

"...Old Liu, we've been watching for so long, I think they are the Red Army. Let's send someone out to find them!"

"No, thank you, brother."

Liu Zhidan, hiding his body with grass branches, held up the guerrillas' only old, treasured monocular and looked through it. He carefully stuffed it back into his clothes and shook his head.

"Have you forgotten that cunning Jing Yuexiu had his troops waving red flags to deceive our people?"

As he spoke, he pointed at the equipment of Xu Haidong and others and sneered:

"Look, look, look! Long guns and short guns, all kinds of soldiers and horses, neatly dressed, I even saw several mortars and assault guns... You say this is our Red Army?"

"Our base is poor, but we haven't heard Secretary Du and others talk about the situation in other bases in the Provincial Party Committee. The Central Red Army doesn't even have this kind of equipment! How can this be the Red Army!"

"Uh...that's true..."

Xu Haidong probably never imagined in his life that one day he would be suspected of not being a member of the revolutionary army because his equipment was too good and his clothes were too clean.

Although Xie Zichang also thought so, he still supported going to see the situation:

"But look, if they were the White Dogs, when have they ever been so polite to ordinary people? Look, they seem to have arrested another person!!"

3

"...Still so polite... They're so polite when arresting people, I don't think they're white dogs! Lao Liu, let's go ask!"

"this.…."

Liu Zhidan hesitated for a moment, but considering that his men would have to scatter and escape if they didn't find support, he decided to take a risk:

"Okay, then I'll go over and ask. Come back after I confirm their identities."

"No, you're the captain now! I'll go!"

"It's okay. If something really happens, you can..."

"No! I've come to realize that compared to you, my abilities are simply not enough to handle the reactionaries' siege. You're more important, so I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

"I go!"

"

While the two were arguing, a new situation suddenly emerged:
