A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 35

1,

The appearance of Shen Hao has brought great damage to the party organization in Haizhou area. His method of "there must be a brave man under the reward" has worked. Every day, there are a large number of letters in the report box outside the Haizhou Station of the Military Command. Landlords, innkeepers, and messenger boys on the street are all his eyes.Shangfeng was greatly appreciated and specially awarded a medal.Shen Hao is proud most of the time, except for one Shen Jie, who searched every inch of land in Haizhou City, and set up three layers of secret guards in front of Shen's house and Shen Xiaoduan's clinic. They were arrested, but it was a pity that only Wen Qingyun and Qiaofeng Yingzhu who stood by Wen Qingyun's side, went to the vegetable market that everyone would go to, and came back straight after buying vegetables, without looking sideways.As a result, Shen Xiaoduan's clinic had a sluggish business, and the newly recruited nurses quickly resigned - seeing a minor illness and going to work would be arrested and subject to a review, no one can stand it.In order to find clues, Shen Hao arrested several farmers who were buying vegetables and put them to death. All he got was howling ghosts and howling wolves. They had never seen the Communist Party, let alone know who Shen Jie was.Shen Hao had a headache because of this, he knew better than anyone else that Shen Jie was around, maybe in a certain house on the next street.He had arrested a lot of people, but he also lost a lot of money. Even Siying, the most important military officer in Haizhou Station, was found dead in a dry well.This is clearly a means of revenge by the Haizhou underground party.It was also Shen Jie's warning to him.For the sake of safety, he dare not go home now, and Dongmei and Xiao Yubao are also forced to move to two separate bedrooms in the station—safety is more important, face is more important, and he dare not go to the street easily, he has to do it every time he travels. Well prepared, someone will clear the way, someone will be in the back, and someone will be in charge of signaling along the way.This kind of dreadful life made him extremely bored. When he returned to Haizhou, he came to show off his power, not to suffer and go to jail.Now he can only make the last move to arrest Wen Qingyun and force Shen Jie to show up.

Shen Hao once again stood at the deep gate of Shen's house, looking at the two familiar wooden doors, he was in a daze, as if he had returned to the past, and the days he spent in this door came back to his eyes one by one—as The eldest son, he can't justifiably inherit the family business, because he is a concubine, he has to work several times harder than others to get what should belong to him. The source of all this, the instigator, is Wen Qingyun.It's time to sort it out.He took a step back, someone rushed up and kicked the door open.The door wasn't closed at all, it was just ajar.The secret agent who was rushing to show off rushed through the door, and almost fell a shit.

Wen Qingyun was sitting on the rocking chair on the steps, she looked older, but her eyes were as sharp, shooting towards her like an arrow, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

"You're here." Wen Qingyun said clearly, "You're late."

Shen Hao sneered, "Grandma, I'm not here as a guest, so it's never too late."

"Are you going to take me away?" Wen Qingyun smiled, and the sun shone on her face, blending with the smile, and everyone was stunned.Right now, no one cared about her age. What appeared in everyone's eyes was a woman with unspeakable charm.

Shen Hao nodded, "Grandma is still so smart, she can't hide anything from you."

Wen Qingyun stood up slowly, walked in front of Shen Hao, stared at him and said, "It's not difficult to guess, because you have been unable to catch Jie'er." She paused, as if she was thinking, but also seemed to be having a hard time opening her mouth. "Hao'er, you are brothers, do you have to do this?"

Shen Hao was a little embarrassed, but luckily his subordinates were behind him, so they couldn't see his pale face, "Wen Qingyun, I'm on a mission, please don't get involved in anything else."

"You are brothers, and both of your fathers are Shen Xiaoru, am I wrong?" Wen Qingyun was neither humble nor overbearing, and didn't shrink back at all because of Shen Hao's suddenly raised voice, "Why do you have to kill each other?"

"Shen Jie is a wanted criminal!" Shen Hao turned from embarrassment into anger.

"He didn't do anything bad. But the position is different."

"You are making pro-communist remarks. I can arrest you and go to jail just based on this!"

"Then what else do I have to say?" Wen Qingyun sighed, "Take me back, if you think so, you've won."

Shen Hao waved his hand, someone came over and handcuffed Wen Qingyun.

"Bring it back!" Shen Hao announced.

Wen Qingyun in handcuffs walked slowly on the streets of Haizhou City. This was also Shen Jie's arrangement. She must be paraded through the streets to show Shen Jie how humiliating his old mother was.

Haizhou City shook, and people stood on the side of the street, dumbfounded and filled with righteous indignation.Everyone knows the good deeds Wen Qingyun has done for Haizhou, without her, how many people would starve to death.But now, she was arrested and raped by her own son, that big traitor! "It's unreasonable." The common people said through gritted teeth.Wen Qingyun looked at the crowded place and smiled.This was a scene she had already expected, and she only hoped that Shen Jie would not fall into the trap.

What Shen Hao didn't expect was that not only the crowd outside was turbulent, but even Xiao Yubao dared to speak out.

"Grandma, save me." She was almost recovered from her illness, but her speech was not as clever as before.

"Yeah, so what?" Shen Hao squinted at her, thinking in his heart that he should have killed her long ago, so that she would not be ashamed to live.

"Can you let her go?"

"Ha," Shen Hao cried out strangely, "You really want to help her, don't you? Otherwise, you can go and accompany her, and you can still be her companion!"

Dongmei heard it from the next door, and came over, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Hao's expression, she swallowed it back.

This didn't escape Shen Hao's eyes, and he became even more dissatisfied, "Mother, don't tell me that you have softened your heart. Think about the life and death you fought back then. I am fulfilling your dream for you."

Dongmei was speechless, speechless.This is the cause she planted, and it is also the fruit she should bear.

Shen Jie sat outside the cave sharpening his bayonet. Since the news of Wen Qingyun's arrest came out, he had already sharpened seven knives, each of which was so sharp that it could see blood and seal his throat.If possible, he would plunge these knives into the same person at the same time, sending him to hell.

Liu Changlin came over, "Shen Jie, you can't be impulsive, he did this just to lure you to appear."

"I can't leave my mother alone." Shen Jie stared at the blade, tried it on his finger, left a white mark, blood slowly gushed out, he put it in his mouth and sucked it hard, grabbed it and put it on The eighth knife at the foot.

"You disarmed all the soldiers' bayonets?" Liu Changlin tried to change his tone, teasingly said, "You are as good as a squad of devils."

"I want to go back." Shen Jie didn't lift his head, the sound of sharpening the knife neighed in the air.

"You have to remember that you are also a fighter. You can't do anything arbitrarily." Liu Changlin emphasized his tone, "My Comrade Shen Jie, you have to trust me and believe that our party will not let them kill your mother. "

"Then when are we going down the mountain?"

"Comrade Shen Jie! Don't fight unprepared battles, don't I need to explain this truth?"

Shen Jie finally stopped, "Comrade Liu Changlin, now is not the time to be reasonable."

Liu Changlin finally got angry, "Okay, I'll gather the troops now, and we'll go to storm Haizhou City. At that time, the blood of countless soldiers will pave the way for you, so you should be satisfied?"

Shen Jie was speechless.He knew that he was somewhat unreasonable, but it was really impossible for him to sit and watch.

"Wait a minute, I have already sent someone to fetch Qiaofeng Yingzhu and the others, and the second master is also protected by our people. It is very safe. A full-scale counterattack is about to begin. When the time comes, we must be there Rescued grandma."

"Can my mother wait until then?" Shen Jie smiled wryly.He also wants to have confidence, but he is afraid that time will wait for no one.

Liu Changlin felt a little guilty, the grandma had been kind to him, why didn't he want to save people, but the current situation didn't allow him to act impulsively.There is another decision that is difficult to say, but must be said. For Shen Jie, this is a severe test of his party spirit.

"The organization has just decided to transfer you and Comrade Wei Ruoyan to Shanghai to perform a special task."

"What?" Shen Jie was afraid that he had heard it wrong, "You mean you want me to leave Haizhou at this time?"

"This is an organizational decision!" Liu Changlin said earnestly, "I know it's unreasonable to let you leave at this time, but I hope you can still obey the order and put the overall situation first. I think it's right for the organization to arrange this way." Your concern, they are afraid that if you stay here, something will happen sooner or later."

"No." Shen Jie's blood rushed to the top of his head. It was cruel enough not to let him save people, but he couldn't accept that he had to be transferred away.

"Comrade Shen Jie! Let me say it again. First, we must put the overall situation first. As a communist fighter, you must obey the orders of the organization. Second, I use my personal reputation and my identity as a Communist Party member to assure you , I will do my best to protect the safety of Grandma. I hope you can let go of your worries."

At this point, Shen Jie understood that there was no room for change. He looked at Liu Changlin and smiled wryly, "I hope you can do what you say." A tear slipped out of the corner of his eye, and he turned to wipe it away.Liu Changlin pretended not to see it, but there was a bright red glow in the distant sky, and tomorrow would be a fine weather.

2,

Wen Qingyun was locked in a cell alone for half a year.According to Shen Hao's instructions, no one is allowed to visit the prison, let alone contact in private.Cao Baogen, who has been promoted to prison warden, patted his chest and promised to implement it seriously.

Back in the prison, Cao Baogen had the final say here, he even found a new mattress and brought it in, "Grandma, it's cold at night, be careful. If you need anything else, just tell me and I'll find it for you."

Wen Qingyun shook her head, "I've already troubled you a lot."

Cao Baogen said, "Don't say that. Without you, my mother would starve to death."

"Is the old man still in good health?"

"Okay, I eat two pancakes and a bowl of porridge for a meal. I'm tough, and I always say I want to repay you." Cao Baogen smiled, "If I let her know that you have been wronged even a little bit, I can't live." Then he left After taking two steps, he lowered his voice, "Grandma, can you hear the gunshots at night? They belong to the third young master of your family, so don't worry, they don't dare to do anything to you. That's right, if you dare to touch a hair of your hair, they will eat him alive. He dare not."

Wen Qingyun smiled wryly, "That's what I'm worried about. It's not that he didn't dare, but he regarded me as the last move."

"How to say?"

"There must be an amulet, right?"

Cao Baogen nodded, "It's still your thoughtfulness. Let me tell you, you don't know what's going on outside now. I heard that the Communist Army won a big victory in the Northeast, and Xuzhou is not safe. Now the KMT is dead. Who is suffering? We ordinary people! I don’t know when the Communist Party will attack, and I don’t know how many people will die. Now there are many refugees on our streets. Yes, I can't eat and I can't wear it, it looks miserable."

What he said was the truth. Although the radio and newspapers were all about how brave the national army was, the common people knew that they couldn't last long.Ships passed by the pier every day, some were transporting troops, and some were transporting goods, saying they wanted to evacuate to a safe place.Where is safe?Taiwan!Isn't this just ready to escape?

Wen Qingyun looked at the small window, the outside world was far away from her, but she still missed it.She is a mother, she doesn't care if she is safe, she also wants to know that her children are safe.

Cao Baogen also sighed, "Grandma, I'm in a hurry to ask you. If I have news, I'll tell you. Don't worry, your body is important."

When it was getting dark, Shen Hao came, stood against the light, could not tell whether it was cloudy or sunny, and continued the question that had been asked countless times, "I still don't want to write him a letter?"

Wen Qingyun raised her head, "Have you not given up yet?"

Shen Hao found a chair and sat down, "Grandma, how long can you hold on like this? As long as you cooperate, I will release him. I have said this many times, and today I will say it for the last time."

"Is it because you can't afford to wait?" Wen Qingyun asked.

"what?"

"You don't have time. You can't wait. Right? The Communist Party won, this time you can't escape anyway, the crime of treason, the crime of traitors, and the people who killed so many of them, you are afraid of them Settle accounts with you, right?"

Shen Hao stood up with a sneer, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it. Don't blame me for what happens in the future."

Wen Qingyun watched Shen Hao leave, and let out a sigh in her heart.At this moment, she didn't know that at this time, Zhong Han and his Huang'an had arrived in the waters of Haizhou. He stood on the deck and looked at the familiar scenery of his hometown. sigh.Half a year, from the beginning of planning the uprising to its actual implementation, he spent half a year.

The Huang'an ship is an escort destroyer, which originally belonged to the Japanese Navy. After Japan surrendered, when China, the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other allies jointly distributed the remaining Japanese equipment, this ship was assigned to China.After being incorporated into the First Fleet of Coastal Defense of the Kuomintang Navy, it was officially named Huang'an Ship.When Zhong Cheng reported for duty, the ship was undergoing maintenance in Qingdao, and most of the personnel were transferred from various troops.After boarding the ship, a gunner named Zhang Lushan attracted Zhong Cheng's attention.

Zhang Lushan is from Shandong, with a bold and enthusiastic personality, and he has a warm fight with the soldiers. Anyone who is in a difficult situation is willing to consult him.At this time, the Kuomintang was at a disadvantage on the battlefield. The failure of several battles made the soldiers depressed, and many people became war-weary.Zhang Lushan's activity is different.Zhong Cheng observed for a long time, one day he suddenly called Zhang Lushan to his room, and asked sternly, "Someone reported that you spread pro-communist remarks among soldiers, is there such a thing?"

Zhang Lushan didn't panic, looked straight at Zhong Cheng, "Yes."

Zhong Cheng was a little surprised, and immediately asked, "Are you the Communist Party?"

Zhang Lushan replied, "I am a Chinese."

Zhong Cheng sat down, a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Me too."

Zhang Lushan smiled heartily, "Chief of Staff, I know who you are."

"How to say?"

"You are an anti-Japanese hero, and your adoptive mother, Ms. Wen Qingyun, is also a passionate and patriotic businessman. Your younger brother Shen Jie is a member of the Communist Party. Because of this, you were censored. Fortunately, someone protected you, so you were not put on hold, but transferred to the We are here. It is said to be a transfer at the same level, but they have lost trust in you. Although you are the chief of staff, you do not participate in any military planning. You don’t even know where our ship is going and what it is doing. .”

Zhong Cheng spoke slowly, and said word for word, "This is a military arrangement."

"It's because they are afraid." Zhang Lushan's expression at this time was more like Zhong Cheng's boss, "Chief of Staff, am I right?"

Zhong Cheng couldn't deny it, because all these were facts.In the past six months, he has been suppressed, and even his family letters with Yan Xueke have to be closely scrutinized.He didn't dare to visit his relatives, and he didn't even meet his daughter, just because he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble.Especially when he heard that Shen Hao had returned to Haizhou and Wen Qingyun was in prison, he was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.He knew in his heart that as long as he went back, Shen Hao would definitely fabricate a crime. He was on the ship and was the chief of staff in name, but he was actually taking himself as a hostage to protect the precarious safety of his wife, daughter and family.As long as he is not completely dismissed for a day, Shen Hao will have some scruples.

Zhang Lushan said frankly that he was a staff member of the Liaison Section of the Eastern Navy Division under the Liaison Department of the Political Department of the Jiaodong Military Region.Seeing Zhong Cheng's hesitation, Zhang Lushan said that the immediate priority is to promote the peaceful reunification of the whole country, and not get entangled in factional disputes.The consistent purpose of the Communist Party is to unite all forces that can be united and build a brand new China.Such an ideal needs many insightful people like Zhong Cheng to realize it.Zhong Cheng knew the truth of Zhang Lushan's words, but he still didn't dare to promise anything, and finally said, "Thank you for your trust in me, but I can't help you. All I can do is not report you to the higher authorities. I have my own difficulties ,I hope you understand."

Zhang Lushan was not reluctant, he gave Zhong Cheng a few books in his private collection, "Chief of Staff, I think one day, you will definitely turn to the light. I will give you these books, read them, and you will understand after reading them." gone."

"I want to remind you that there are already people on the ship who suspect you. No matter what you do, be careful." Zhong Cheng stretched out his hand, and the two held hands tightly.

It didn't take long for Zhang Lushan to be exposed. When he went to the East Navy Division for a work report meeting on his shift, the venue was surrounded by spies because of the betrayal of a traitor. In order to cover the transfer of other comrades, he stayed at the end and was unfortunately arrested.

There was actually a Communist Party on board the Huang'an ship. The upper management of the fleet was furious and ordered that everyone on the ship must be strictly investigated. All soldiers who had contact with Zhang Lushan were strictly interrogated. Convicted of killing.An aura of terror permeated the entire Huang'an ship.

Zhong Cheng stayed in the room, and his movements were restricted after the incident.Because of the previous incident, he became the main suspect.Some even thought he was Zhang Lushan's superior.Zhong Cheng burned those books immediately, and sat in the cabin waiting for the military police and secret agents who might rush in at any time.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Lushan scolded the Kuomintang for being corrupt and incompetent, and the military officers were stupid, they only knew how to take money and bend the law, and they didn't care about the lives of ordinary people and low-level soldiers.When asked who his accomplices were, he only mentioned one name, Zhong Cheng.

"You go to him, he knows everything." Zhang Lushan said straightforwardly.

It was because of his arrogance and the sneer at the corner of his mouth that the interrogators completely dispelled their suspicions about Zhong Cheng.If he was really an insider placed by the Communist Party on the Huang'an ship, according to their consistent understanding of the Communists, Zhang Lushan would not confess him no matter what.They have done this kind of trick too many times, killing many "good guys" by mistake.This time they have learned their lesson, at least they will not let the cunning Communist Party lead them by the nose.Zhang Lushan's performance only shows that Zhong Cheng is his worst enemy, that is to say, Zhong Cheng is a person who is boundlessly loyal to the party and state.

Zhong Cheng escaped, and the captain personally invited him to the combat command center, which is the heart of the Huang'an ship and where they will fight together.

"They want to frame you, but don't worry, we trust you and hope that we can cooperate happily in the future."

Zhong Cheng hid the turmoil in his heart, and asked lightly, "Where is he locked up now?"

"Off? Buried alive." The captain smiled. "The best way to deal with this kind of person is what the chairman once said. It is better to kill the wrong one than let it go."

Zhong Cheng smiled with difficulty, "Yes, I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go."

It was night, and Zhong Cheng stayed up all night. At dawn, he used a secret code left by Zhang Lushan to risk sending an encrypted telegram to Yan'an. The Yan'an side attached great importance to it. Obtaining a warship is the dream of these military strategists who command national campaigns in cave dwellings in Shaanxi.In order to cooperate with Zhong Cheng's actions, the superior immediately sent Li Qingge, then Chief of the Liaison Department of the Liaison Department of the Political Department of the Jiaodong Military Region, to Huang'an Ship to guide the work of instigating rebellion.Li Qingge was on a latent mission in Nanjing before. After being exposed, he once worked as a sailor on a British freighter and was soon approved to board the ship.When Zhong Cheng saw him, he was not only surprised, but even more pleasantly surprised. He clasped his hands tightly.

"It's you?"

"it's me."

"I didn't expect to see you again."

"I thought about it, I also thought about it, sooner or later we will come to the same path." Li Qingge said with a smile.However, he told Zhong Cheng that the uprising did not happen overnight. We must wait for the right time, ensure the support of the majority of people, and ensure that the Huang'an ship is not damaged.The new China will be built soon, the people need the navy, and the navy needs the Huang'an ship.Zhong Cheng nodded convincingly, this person rescued him from the gun that night many years ago, and now he firmly believes that he will also bring Huang Anjian back on the right track.

3,

With the large-scale retreat of the Kuomintang troops, a gray mood appeared on the Huang'an ship. The passive attitude of the soldiers was clear to even the dullest commander, and there was even a situation of desertion.As the ship's staff officer, the captain asked Zhong Cheng to do comforting work for the soldiers, because he was usually kind to others, so the soldiers told him what was on their minds, they didn't want to fight anymore, and they couldn't win the fight. If I want to go to Taiwan, I will leave my hometown and leave the country. I don't know if I can come back in this life.Zhong Cheng wanted to persuade them, but in fact he also had concerns in his heart. Since the beginning of the year, some warships in Qingdao have been deployed, some have gone to Guangzhou, and some have gone to Taiwan waters.It's a place of no return.Although their chief guaranteed that they would come back with the head of Xiang and the reputation of their ancestors, everyone knew that this was a lie.They heard too many lies like this, and they became earwax.

At the moment when the soldiers were full of resentment, Huang Anjian also received the order to set sail. Zhong Cheng took advantage of his position and began to brief some soldiers in key positions.The simplest truth is right in front of you, once you go wrong, you will never be able to return home.Some people immediately expressed that they would follow Zhong Cheng.Some people were still hesitating, so Zhong Cheng transferred them away.Then at the suggestion of Li Qingge, the uprising leading group was formally established.

When it came time for the Huang'an ship to sail, both Zhong Cheng and Li Qingge believed that it was the last moment. With the approval of the superior, the uprising officially started. The whereabouts of the Huang'an ship after the uprising has always been the focus of dispute between Zhong Cheng and Li Qingge. Li Qingge hoped that Huang'an An Ship went north. At this time, Lushun Dalian Port has been occupied by the People's Liberation Army. It is undoubtedly the safest place to go.But Zhong Cheng thought of returning to Haizhou, using the American equipment on the Huang'an ship, to take down Haizhou City in one fell swoop and rescue Wen Qingyun.The superior considered the respective positions of the two, and finally decided on the destination, Haizhou.

The time of the uprising was set on the night of the trial voyage.Li Qingge led people to occupy the command platform, closed the telegraph room, and Zhong Cheng detained the captain. In just a few minutes, the uprising team took control of the entire ship.At eight o'clock in the evening, the Huang'an ship sailed smoothly and headed for Haizhou City.

While Zhong Cheng was busy planning and leading the uprising on the Huang'an ship, Shen Jie and Wei Ruoyan in Shanghai also received the task of instigating against the Kuomintang elite, the third regiment of paratroopers trained with all-American equipment.Yue Qi, the head of the third regiment, is a progressive soldier who is tired of civil war. Comrades have already infiltrated the third regiment and established contact with grassroots officers and soldiers.And has already had contact with Yue Qi.Although he has not agreed to surrender for the time being, he has no strong aversion to it, and he has not interfered with the actions of the Communist Party in the Third Regiment.It can be said that he is now in an ideological struggle, which is a struggle between the inherent old beliefs and reality, and he only needs to add a little fire to win him over.

Shen Jie was still a little uneasy that such a major task fell on him, and said to the leader who assigned the task, "Can I do it? He is a leader with great military exploits, will he listen to me?"

The leader smiled mysteriously, "Don't underestimate yourself, Comrade Shen Jie, if you trust you in the organization, just go ahead and do it."

"But what if it is messed up? Didn't all the hard work of the previous comrades go to waste?"

"It won't screw up, there is confidence in the organization."

At this time, Shanghai is in the end of chaos. High-ranking officials and dignitaries can go or escape. The military commanders wantonly arrest communists and democrats, some are sent to Taiwan, and some are poisoned on the spot.The Shanghai underground party organization was devastated. Thanks to Mr. Brown, a Frenchman who sympathized with the Communist Party, he stepped forward to help take in comrades like Shen Jie and Wei Ruoyan, so the Shanghai underground organization could continue to work.

Mr. Brown is in his sixties, with gray hair and a pair of glasses on his big nose. He looks like a professor, but he is also a member of the Communist Party, and a believer and follower of early European communism. After the European War began, he was wanted by the authorities. As a last resort, I came to Shanghai and visited a bookstore.After the victory in the European War, he originally wanted to return to China, but unfortunately his wife and children had been captured and killed in concentration camps, and he had no relatives in his hometown, so he stayed in Shanghai.He sympathized with the Chinese Communists, believing them to be the most steadfast revolutionaries, and got in touch with the underground party organization in Shanghai, using the bookstore as a contact point. Shen Jie and the others were just a small part of the many people he helped.When he heard that they were going to rebel against the Third Paratrooper Regiment, his head full of revolutionary romantic feelings shook again and again, "No, no, it's too dangerous. You are a lady, you shouldn't take such a risk. "

Wei Ruoyan smiled. She liked this foreigner and deliberately teased him, "Why don't you go for me? I've found out that the third regiment needs a priest. Their former priest was captured by the People's Liberation Army in the last battle. Now they are the last Someone needs to save their soul. You're a perfect fit."

Brown wrinkled his nose. "I'm a communist. I'm an atheist. I don't believe in God. I'm a traitor to my family."

"So, if I'm the only one going, they won't do anything to a nun, let alone Shen Jie by my side."

"Nun? Priest? My God..."

Shen Jie smiled relaxedly, "Okay, old man, you said you don't believe in God, help me get some clothes, and tell us how to talk. You have to help me, or you will regret it when I die."

Shen Jie and Wei Ruoyan made full preparations. With the assistance of their comrades, they found the third regiment's station and stood outside the regiment headquarters, feeling uneasy.At this moment, they never dreamed that Yue Qi, the head of the third paratrooper regiment, was the long-disappeared third master of the Shen family, Shen Xiaofang!
4,

After withdrawing from the Northeast, Shen Xiaofang changed his name and surname to follow Du Yuming because of Du Yuming's appreciation.Du Yuming promised him that there would be devils to kill him, but he would keep his name incognito!There are many factions in the army, fighting openly and secretly, and Du Yuming doesn't want to make trouble for himself.Shen Xiaofang disappeared from the world and became "Yue Qi".

In 1944, Du Yuming founded the paratroopers in Kunming, divided into the first, second and third regiments, and Shen Xiaofang served as the deputy of the third regiment.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Paratrooper Command was transferred from Kunming to Shanghai, and then to Nanjing, and was still transferred back to Shanghai during the civil war. At this time, Shen Xiaofang was promoted to the head of the regiment, stationed in Anting and Sanlintang, and responsible for the Shanghai-Nanjing and Shanghai-Hangzhou railway security. Task.As the fastest mobile unit, it is always at the disposal of the military.Prior to this, the three regiments had participated in the battle in the Xuzhou Theater.Du Yuming was captured, and Shen Xiaofang led the Death Squad, trying to rescue the old superior, but unfortunately failed.

After returning to Shanghai, Shen Xiaofang knew that the KMT's general situation was over, and the three major battles were retreating and defeating, which made him, a veteran of the War of Resistance, not only saddened, but also disappointed.The three regiments were invincible!At the beginning of the Battle of Eastern Henan with the Japanese, when the heads of the first and second paratrooper regiments were killed one after another, only the third regiment was flexible and tenacious to break out of the encirclement. On September 1945, 9, He Yingqin, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Theater Army of the Allied Powers, hosted the "Surrender and Signing Ceremony of the Japanese Army in the Chinese Theater" in Nanjing on behalf of the Chinese government.It can be seen that the special status of the three regiments.Such a trump card was turned around by the Communist Party's millet plus rifles. It can only be said that the KMT's strength is exhausted.Shen Xiaofang is not confused, he has seen the corruption of the government, the corruption of officials, and the downfall of the army these years, and now it is time to make a choice.Lao Jiang took the three regiments as his treasure, summoned Shen Xiaofang alone, and told him that they would withdraw from Taiwan together.Shen Xiaofang is unwilling, but he is a soldier, it is impossible to run away, let alone disobey orders.

Shen Xiaofang only knew that the military had sent a priest and a nun, so he complained a lot about it.Because it was a U.S. military system, I don’t know who was drunk or just confused. I didn’t even think about it, and I got the priests from the U.S. military. Although most of the officers and soldiers of the three regiments are educated , but it has not been Westernized enough to pray and repent and draw a cross on the chest. When a war starts, who would listen to the priest muttering what to say.They laughed when they saw the priest whispering in the ear of the wounded soldier, like watching a puppet show.Although Shen Xiaofang does not object that everyone can have their own beliefs, he also feels that this matter is superfluous.But after finally getting rid of one, another one was brought in, and it was still a woman, didn't it feel messy enough?

Shen Jie put on makeup, Wei Ruoyan lowered her brows and lowered her eyes in a serious manner, with a cross hanging on her chest, which frightened Shen Xiaofang, and she didn't recognize it.

"You guys go back, I don't need it here." Shen Xiaofang stood in front of a battle map, frowning, it was already messy enough, and with these two, it wasn't just souls that had to be saved.

"God will bless you." Shen Jie drew a cross on his chest, looked up, and suppressed the excitement in his heart, "Mr. Leader."

When Shen Xiaofang heard the familiar accent, he turned his head and felt familiar. It was all because of the beard that Mr. Brown found out, which covered half of Shen Jie's face.

"People from Haizhou?"

"Yes."

"How do you do this?"

Shen Jie suppressed a smile, "Give yourself to God, and you will find peace."

"This is war." Shen Xiaofang's original camaraderie disappeared in an instant, "I will explain to my superiors. You'd better go, I'm going to have a meeting."

Shen Jie sighed helplessly, "Third Uncle, you really don't give any face?"

Shen Xiaofang was stunned, took a closer look, and suddenly realized, "You are, Shen Jie?"

Shen Jie walked over and pulled off the beard on his face, "Third Uncle, I did a lot of food and water for you back then."

"But why did you come here? Are you still dressed like this? How is Grandma? And what's going on at home now..." Shen Xiaofang asked like a cannonball.

"Third Uncle, you care so much about your family, why don't you go back these years?" Shen Jie turned his back on customers, and Wei Ruoyan, who was dazed by the side, finally understood all kinds of reasons and stared at Shen Xiaofang.

"Because your third uncle is dead." Shen Xiaofang didn't seem to be joking, "My name is Yue Qi, and I am a person who has nothing to do with the Shen family."

"Haven't those things all passed? They framed you, so it's fine if you explain it clearly?"

"It's not as simple as you think. If I don't do this, not only will I be in trouble, but my family will also be in trouble." Shen Xiaofang sighed, the hero is so far, there is nothing left but helplessness. "But I still have contact with my sister-in-law. It's not easy for a sister-in-law to manage such a big family."

Wei Ruoyan hurriedly said, "I see. Shen Jie told me that Grandma has personal letters, and they burn them after reading them. No one will let anyone know. You wrote them, right? Also, in the most difficult time, Grandma received them. You only have money to buy rice for the family when you arrive at the letter, and that’s the money you gave, right?”

Shen Xiaofang was noncommittal, and changed the subject, "Tell me, why did you come here?
Shen Jie said seriously, "Master Yue, I am requesting cooperation with you on behalf of the Communist Party of China and millions of Chinese people. You should be aware of the current situation. The Kuomintang regime is about to die, and a new world is about to be established. Are you The hero of the Anti-Japanese War is an idol I have admired since I was a child. I think you not only hate the Japanese devils, but also want to save China and all the suffering people in China. This is also our principle. Third uncle..."

Shen Xiaofang shook his head and smiled wryly, he understands the truth, but he is a soldier.

"Leader Yue, I'm not asking you to make a decision now. I just said that you should consider various aspects, but I seem to have forgotten to tell you that after our uprising, we will go to Haizhou and you can go home."

Shen Xiaofang is still hesitating, for a soldier who has spent half his life on the battlefield, mutiny is really a major event that requires serious consideration.

"Third Uncle, I don't want you to decide now, you can think about it, for the time being, Ruoyan and I will stay in Shanghai, we will keep in touch."

Shen Xiaofang was really careless, the excitement of reuniting with his relatives made him relax his vigilance when Shen Jie and Wei Ruoyan arrived at the camp.Some people already felt that their origin was unknown, and they left suddenly.That night, a team of agents rushed to Mr. Brown's bookstore and dropped a bomb. Shen Jie escaped because he went to report the progress to the organization, while Wei Ruoyan and Mr. Brown did not escape bad luck and died in the sea of ​​fire.The occurrence of this accident also contributed to Shen Xiaofang's determination.He has no nostalgia for such a violent and crazy regime.
