Thirteen prisons

Chapter 25 Fighting
The third-line construction is a large-scale construction with combat readiness as the core guiding ideology, so the construction sites are selected very remote, and some factories are even built directly in caves. This strategic idea is mainly to ensure that they can withstand external attacks.But in fact, in those days, the greatest threat started from within.

Those who can enter this kind of engineering construction have to go through strict political review, so the atmosphere in Dashan was relatively calm at the beginning. Although learning the spirit of the Central Committee is the highlight of every day, after all, the project of third-line military factory construction itself is also very difficult. With a strong political nature, it is still work-oriented.But when the whole environment gradually got out of control, the political atmosphere in the mountains also became tense, and everyone became cautious when speaking.

And when the leader made several famous speeches in a row, the situation deteriorated drastically. First, many leaders of the base and even military representatives were knocked down. Various rebel groups began to be formed.Factional disputes started with literary struggles, and eventually, armed struggles began, and normal production came to a complete standstill. Thousands of workers formed more than a dozen different organizations and began to attack each other under the banner of banners.

Yan Yi is not very old, but he is very smart. The previous year's experience in the mountains and the countryside made him mature mentally very quickly.So he is very unwilling to participate in the current madness, and he just wants to protect himself with fear.

But in this case, it is impossible to protect oneself wisely. The frenzied rebels want to overthrow everything except themselves.It’s not enough to find a place to hide. The base in the mountains is a small closed society. At that time, it was a military factory with a high degree of secrecy. It can be regarded as a secret base.

So Yan Yi joined a small faction called "Red Workers' Union". There were only a dozen members, and they belonged to the more moderate rebel faction.I chose this weak faction precisely because there are few people, so I will not take the initiative to provoke other organizations. The head of the "Red Workers' Federation" is Li Aihua. She never lost the wind in the debates, and more importantly, her father was a bigwig in the province at the time, so although this faction was small, it was not so vulnerable to the impact of other factions.In addition, there is another reason, but it can only be hidden in Yan Yi's heart, that is, he fell in love with Li Aihua's younger sister Li Hongxia at the beginning of love.

Yan Yi's consideration is not inconsiderate, but it's a pity that he can't predict how treacherous the world will be.

Not long after the Spring Festival, a shocking news came. Li Aihua's father was knocked down and put in a cowshed, and "suicide in fear of crime" the next day.Although this incident happened in a distant provincial capital, the direct result was that the "Red Federation of Industry" became the target of public criticism. Several rebels united and claimed to crush the "Red Federation of Industry" and severely criticized those who were hidden in the machinery factory. The bad guys inside.Yan Yi was very worried about Li Aihua because of the huge gap between the young rebels who were the favorite of the heavens, and suddenly became the five black ones.

Maybe it was because the revolutionary mood at that time had already made people a little bit enchanted. Li Aihua did not feel depressed when he heard the news, but reacted very quickly, calling the rest of the people together and sticking to it together.

Because they did not dare to escape back to the dormitory in the factory area, they could only hide within the factory area.Fortunately, in order to catch up with the construction period, we advocated "construction, construction, and production at the same time. First production, then living, first factory, then dormitory." Many new workshops and dormitory areas were launched at the same time. It's not completely over yet, leaving many half-built or even just-beginning buildings scattered in the vast mountainous area.

Yan Yi and the others, a total of eight people, hid in a warehouse more than ten kilometers away from the residential area.This warehouse was originally planned to be built as a store of combat readiness, but the materials were not stored, but the movement started ahead of schedule.The location here is close to the mountain, and the gates are usually locked. Except for some maintenance equipment in the factory, the rest of the site is empty and deserted.There is an unfinished two-story building next to the warehouse. It was originally used as a dormitory for the warehouse staff on duty, but it has been sealed and they can live in it.Coupled with the thick warehouse door and the internal environment with suitable dryness and humidity, it is a good place for hiding. A group of people with all kinds of homemade weapons and food stayed here, and they passed a few days without being disturbed.

However, no matter how big the factory area was, it was not a trivial matter for a dozen people to disappear out of nowhere in that era of fierce struggle. On the evening of the fifth day, the sound of loudspeakers shouting suddenly appeared outside the warehouse door.

Through the ventilation window of the warehouse, they saw six people walking outside the door, wearing scarlet armbands and shouting passionate slogans.It turned out to be the most powerful "Jinggangshan" rebel faction in the factory at that time.This group of people are brave and brave enough to fight without fear of death.After being surrounded by the other party, the people of the Red Industry Union panicked.

Li Aihua was the calmest. Seeing that there were not many people coming, he gathered all the boys after thinking about it, asked them to take up weapons, and was ready to rush out and defeat these people with the advantage of numbers. Yan Yi was holding an iron The stick stands last.

Relying on the large number of people, they rushed out collectively after shouting, but just a few steps after rushing out of the warehouse door, they suddenly heard a few crisp noises, Yan Yi subconsciously retreated back into the room, and then looked outside the door, It was found that the two companions who rushed to the front were twitching on the ground.

Under the moonlight, the red blood dripped all over the ground like a small stream under the two people, and the terrifying howl made him realize that the other party actually had a gun!

There was a garrison at the base at that time, and a company of soldiers was in charge of security and defense. When the movement started, no one dared to mess with it because the army had an order not to participate in the movement.But now it seems that either people from "Jinggangshan" snatched weapons from there, or someone from the army also joined in.No matter what the situation is, it is absolutely bad news for the Red Trade Union, which is already small and lonely.

The situation was urgent, and he didn't care about the fighting outside, so he ran back upstairs and told everyone about it.In fact, from the moment they heard the gunshots, they already knew that today was going to be a bad day, and Li Aihua's face, which was always calm, also changed.At this time, the loudspeaker continued to shout from downstairs, telling them to hand over the bandit leader and surrender quickly.The few remaining boys gritted their teeth and rushed out with sticks, but after a while, two more shots were fired, and their shouting stopped abruptly.Following the sound of chaotic footsteps downstairs, it was obvious that these boys were also in danger, and the other party had already entered the building.

At that time, there were only three people left in the attic in the corner of the warehouse.Li Aihua, her younger sister Li Hongxia, and the youngest Yan Yi.Li Aihua looked at them with a pale face, bit his lips, walked over suddenly and hugged his sister, then straightened his clothes, and said to them with a sneer: "Hand over the bandit leader? I'll let them know who is the communist fighter." !"

Yan Yi originally wanted to say that everyone might be able to escape by jumping out of the window, but Li Aihua's expression made him speechless.Until a long time later, he could still remember the look in Li Aihua's eyes, the calmness after relief in the frenzy.He didn't understand what that meant at the time, he just felt that Li Aihua's heart had died.He thought at the time that he would have to jump out of the window after a while, but what about his sister Li Hongxia?
Li Hongxia's younger sister is younger than Yan Yi, and has been crying helplessly when encountering such a thing.In a complicated mood, Li Aihua was like a martyr rushing to the execution ground, holding his head high and opening the dilapidated door. Yan Yi was so frightened at this moment that his legs began to tremble.Seeing his appearance, Li Aihua suddenly smiled, stopped and walked over to touch his face, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, but you have to promise me that you will take good care of my sister in the future."

Her hands were extremely hot, like a high fever, and Yan Yi was taken aback for a moment.

Zhou Yuan was also involuntarily stunned when he heard this.Although he knew that Yan Yi's telling this story must be related to his illness, but when this connection suddenly appeared in the story like this, he was a little surprised.But no one spoke, everyone was attracted by the story.

Yan Yi's reaction was normal, and his first thought was that Li Aihua had a fever.But her complexion is as usual, and she has been very normal these days, she doesn't look sick at all.But this question was immediately skipped, because Li Aihua was at the door and turned sideways to her side. When the clothes were swinging, Yan Yi found that there was a hard thing in the clothes behind her left waist.Yan Yi, who has received firearms training, immediately understood that it was a grenade, and the factory security department had a few of them.

Although I don't know when she got it, it doesn't matter at this time, because Yan Yi knows what she is going to do.Li Aihua nodded under Yan Yi's astonished gaze, indicating that he guessed right.Then she glanced at her crying sister, shouted a slogan, and rushed out.

Yan Yi was flustered when he heard her walking quickly downstairs.The best choice at this time should be to jump from the window immediately. If you are lucky and don't fall, you can escape to the nearby jungle.But Yan Yi was already at a loss, and he didn't want to leave the little girl here alone, so he was at a loss for a while.He just subconsciously took Li Hongxia's hand, leaned against the window, and listened nervously to the movement outside.

After a while, people from "Jinggangshan" shouted, probably seeing Li Aihua, but there was no gunfire, maybe they felt that a young girl was no threat to them.Then he heard Li Aihua yelling something, it should be a slogan, Yan Yi's body was a little stiff, guessing that Li Aihua would pull the grenade in the next moment, he was full of fear and worry, and didn't know how to deal with it next.

Following Li Aihua's yelling, shouts and exclamations came from downstairs, but half a minute later, the expected explosion did not resound.Yan Yi's heart sank, whether it was a stink bomb, or she was subdued before throwing it out, there should be no chance.He dared not imagine the fate of his group.

At this time, another change occurred. A man's scream suddenly came to mind, followed by a terrified scream, followed by noisy and chaotic footsteps, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and then suddenly stopped.Yan Yi didn't know what happened, the sudden silence outside was a little abnormal, he tried his best to listen, but he didn't hear Li Aihua's voice, he was scared and startled, and didn't dare to move.

He wondered if Li Aihua was subdued by those people?But he didn't have the guts to go out and look. Li Hongxia was sobbing softly, but now she also became quiet, and just squeezed his hand tightly.The two squatted under the window in fear, always feeling as if someone broke into the door the next moment.

They just stared at the door nervously, squatting until their legs became numb, and there was still no sound outside. It was already dark, and I don't know how long it took, the two finally couldn't help it, and encouraged each other with their eyes. Standing up and soothing the blood in his legs, he mustered up the courage to open the door.Because the building has no electricity, no lights.They took out the flashlights and walked downstairs slowly. When they came to the corridor on the second floor, they were stunned by the sight of the flashlight shining out.

There was blood all over the first floor.

When the phrase "blood is everywhere" is usually used as an adjective, it refers to the clothes next to the wound or the ground near the body being splashed a lot.But when the flashlight slowly swept over, they found that the ceiling, floor, and wall in front of them were all traces of blood, almost as if they had been poured with a water hose, which was extremely strange.

Their hearts were raised, and they were worried about Li Aihua, because at this time they had already seen the corpse lying on the ground, it was a "Jinggangshan" rebel, covered in sticky blood, his face was pale, and he was extremely terrified. His expression looked very sinister in this environment.Why did these people suddenly die here?It was obviously useless to hear the explosion of the grenade.How did these people die, and why was their death so bizarre?Of course, the most important thing right now is to find Li Aihua.But they were very afraid of actually seeing Li Aihua's body.

Under such contradictory moods, they could only try their best to restrain the panic and fear in their hearts, and looked at the corpses one by one. Although they didn't check them carefully, they still saw something strange: nothing was found on each corpse. The obvious scars made Yan Yi very confused when he thought about it afterwards.

According to Yan Yi's judgment, the situation at that time should be that Li Aihua threw a grenade, but it didn't go off. Those people rushed up and grabbed her while being frightened, because according to the positions where these people died, it can be seen that they were crowded in the within a small area.

But after checking all the corpses, they found that Li Aihua was nowhere to be found.

Instead, Li Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief, saying that maybe her sister ran out.But Yan Yi thought it was impossible, but he didn't say it out loud, because even if there was any accident, she would definitely come back to find them after nothing happened.The two searched downstairs together. On the first floor and not far from the gate, they saw the corpses of comrades in arms of the "Red Trade Union", all with gunshot wounds and blunt force wounds on their bodies. The condition looks much normal.

After going through all these things, Yan Yi's hands and feet were already weak at this time, and he really wanted to stay away from this place, but Li Hongxia insisted on going back to the building to find her sister, saying that it might be two people in the dark looking for the leak.The two of them bravely returned to the second floor, removed the corpses one by one, and found the dumb grenade in a corner. Other than that, there was no trace of Li Aihua.
