Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

What is placed on Zhou Weiren's desk is the latest combat plan formulated by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the highest authority, after profoundly summarizing the situation and information at hand, the "Iron Bucket Plan", which is what he calls the "re-implementation of the Central Red Army". Add some fire."

At that time, there were only two senior Red Army officials who knew the dangers of this plan. One was Zhou Weiren and the other was Li Jiansheng. Li Jiansheng is now the commander-in-chief of a front army and can be considered a senior Red Army official.

Knowing the dangers of this plan, Li Jiansheng benefited from the fact that he came from a later generation and had done research on this period of history. Although he did not know the details of this battle plan, he had a general idea. Even if he did not know soldiers, he still knew the plan. He was vicious, because once this plan was successful, the Central Committee and the Red Army would face a devastating blow, and the Central Red Army's Long March was launched precisely because of this intelligence. Of course, he did not know the specific details and specific time of this plan, only Able to rely on one's own memory and inference.

In his memory, this information came from a man named Mo Xiong and a man named Xiang Yunian.

Mo Xiong, born in 1891 and died in 1980, was a native of Yingde County, Guangdong Province. He graduated from the Army Lecture Hall in his early years. He participated in the famous Huanghuagang Uprising, defended the country against Yuan Dynasty, attacked Chen Jiongming and the Northern Expedition. He had a strong sense of justice. , respectfully called "Big Brother Mo". After the Northern Expedition, Mo Xiong was deprived of military power by Chiang Kai-shek with the false title of Major General, and the troops were disarmed and demobilized. Mo Xiong, who was extremely dissatisfied, participated in Zhang Fakui's anti-Chiang operations twice.

In 1930, he found a job in the Ministry of Finance through Song Ziwen. When he went to Shanghai, he met Liu Yafo, the former director of the political department and an underground party member. Through his introduction, he met Xiang Yunian, an underground party member, and met Zhou Weiren, a senior leader of the party. , Li Kenong and others established contact. In January 1934, Mo Xiong was invited by Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 2nd Route Army of the Kuomintang, to Nanchang to help with the work. After being recommended by his former friend Yang Yongtai, who was the Secretary-General of the Nanchang Camp at the time, Mo Xiong served as the Fourth Administrative Office in Northern Jiangxi. Before taking office as commissioner and security commander, Mo Xiong rushed back to Shanghai and appointed Xiang Yunian and more than ten underground party members as "Paoze subordinates" to serve in the security headquarters of the special agency. It was in this post that Mo Xiong did what he did. A major event related to the fate of the Chinese revolution.

In September 1934, a military meeting was held in Guling, Lushan Mountain, and he personally released the "Iron Bucket Plan" and arranged for the deployment of specific implementation plans. The "Iron Bucket Plan" contained many contents, the documents weighed several kilograms in total, and included information about the Kuomintang troops. The "bandit suppression" general mobilization order, the battle sequence of each unit, troop deployment, offensive route, combat time limit arrangement, combat charts and Chairman Chiang's "bandit suppression code", etc., each document is marked with the word "top secret" and Serial numbers were compiled, and all officials had to sign and receive the documents according to the recipient number. The confidentiality measures were very strict. Mo Xiong was originally not qualified to participate, but because of his new position, which was equivalent to a local official, he was ordered to attend the meeting and wait for the military meeting to be completed. After the end, Mo Xiong returned to the security headquarters of the special agency with the complete "Iron Bucket Plan". After repeated thinking, Mo Xiong risked his life and destroyed his family by handing over the entire "Iron Bucket Plan" to the underground party liaison officer, and the security headquarters machine Secretary Xiang Yunian was asked, and just like that, the situation was transferred to the hands of the Red Army.

After Xiang Yunian got the information, he immediately called in underground party members Liu Yafo and Lu Zhiying to discuss it and decided that Xiang Yunian himself would be responsible for sending the information. Because Xiang Yunian spoke Hakka at the meeting and it was relatively hidden to pass the checkpoint, the three of them used secret codes overnight. The writing potion was used to secretly write the enemy's troop deployment, firepower coordination, attack plan, command structure and other key points in the intelligence on four student dictionaries one by one. He also traced the operational map on transparent paper. It was not until the sky turned white that the entire "Iron Iron" was completed. After the secret writing of the "Bucket Plan" was completed, the enemy situation along the way was analyzed, and a relatively fast and safe route was chosen to reach the Soviet area: take a bus from Nanchang to Ji'an, enter Taihe, and then go straight from the mountainous area to Xingguo, Yudu to Ruijin, and then, Xiang Yunian set out pretending to be a teacher. Xiang Yunian's real name was Xiang Tingchun, a native of Liancheng County, Fujian Province, a former member of the "Red Team" of the Central Special Branch, and the former secretary of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission who had killed Peng Pai and others who had rebelled and betrayed the enemy. Bai Xin has very rich experience in underground struggle.

What moved Li Jiansheng the most was not how Xiang Yunian obtained the information, but how he sent it out.

It turned out that after Xiang Yunian entered the Taihe Mountains with intelligence, he found that the enemy situation was far more serious than expected. Enemy troops were stationed in every village for suppression, and all roads in and out of the Soviet area were tightly blocked. Anyone who was suspicious was immediately arrested. Seeing this, Xiang Yunian had no choice but to sleep in the mountains and forests, eating a small amount of dry food and wild fruits from mountain springs to satisfy his hunger. After many days of arduous trek, Xiang Yunian became unshaven and skinny. When he arrived in Xingguo, he found that the enemy blockade was even tighter. Almost every village has built a fort, and there are sentries at every mountain intersection. As soon as the young and middle-aged people approach, they are immediately arrested as "anti-criminal detectives". Xiang Yunian has no choice but to go back to the mountains to look for opportunities. Time waits for no one, and he is extremely anxious. Xiang Yunian finally came up with a plan. In a sudden move, he grabbed a stone from the ground and knocked off four of his front teeth. The next day, his cheeks were severely swollen, his face became hideous and scary, and his hair was like wormwood. His clothes were torn and torn by thorns, and he became an unkempt, disgusting old beggar. He endured the pain and hid four secret dictionaries in a bag full of filth, with hair from begging on top. He went up the mountain with his bare feet because of the rotten food. When the enemy sentries saw him along the way, they covered their noses and drove him away. Xiang Yunian finally got through the layers of enemy sentry posts and arrived in Ruijin on October 7. On the sandbank Ba found the temporary Central Committee of the Party. When Zhou Weiren and Li Kenong received the top-secret information from Xiang Yunian, they could hardly recognize that the old beggar standing in front of them was an old subordinate they knew well. They were moved beyond words. After listening to After Xiang Yunian's report, he immediately ordered the Red Army's combat intelligence department to immediately restore the four cryptic dictionaries into text charts and conduct careful analysis and research.

Like the history that Li Jiansheng was familiar with, when Zhou Weiren, the general political commissar of the Red Army, read the plan overnight, this great man who had always been gentle and calm was also dripping with cold sweat.

This is not an iron bucket plan, it is an extermination plan.

The plan prepares to assemble 1.5 million troops, 270 aircraft and 200 artillery, "separate attack, combined attack" and "iron wall encirclement": with Ruijin as the target, each unit will conduct a centripetal attack and form a large encirclement 150 kilometers away from Ruijin. , then after the attack advanced 5 kilometers every day, bunker fortifications were built, firepower was strictly coordinated, and 30 barbed wire fences and firepower blockades were built around Ruijin to cut off traffic, block all information and material exchanges of the Red Army, and finally suppress the main force of the Red Army. The decisive battle was carried out in a small area. In order to prevent the Red Army from breaking out, it was also planned to equip 1,000 military trucks to quickly transport troops to carry out mobile interceptions, in order to completely annihilate the Red Army in the Central Soviet Area within a month. In order to conceal the operation, Chiang Kai-shek used the vanguard of 12 divisions Before the large encirclement was completed, the troops tried their best to seize territory around the Soviet area to confuse the Red Army.

Chairman Chiang had great expectations for this "Iron Bucket Plan". He spoke very confidently: "The great cause of suppressing the Communist Party will be completed in this battle!" However, what he did not expect was that his plan was already in use.

It immediately fell into the hands of the underground party.

Once the "Iron Bucket Plan" was circulated to the "Three-Man Regiment" of the Provisional Central Committee, they immediately realized in surprise that the Central Red Army was facing extreme danger. If decisive measures were not taken, it would soon fall into a tight siege by the enemy. At this time, the Central Red Army

The Revolutionary Military Commission received another battle report from the front: the Red Army had failed across the entire Central Soviet Area, leaving only the five counties of Ruijin, Yudu, Changting, Ningdu, and Huichang. The Red Army was frequently in danger in all directions. The situation showed that the enemy's "Iron Barrel Plan" was underway.

Implementing step by step, the person in charge of the Provisional Central Committee is deeply aware that the situation is serious and must quickly jump out of the enemy's encirclement before the enemy's "iron barrel" is closed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Before that, the Provisional Central Committee has also realized that breaking the enemy's internal line

"Encirclement and suppression" was no longer possible. Therefore, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission ordered the 7th Red Army, the 6th Red Army, and the 25th Red Army to march north and west first. They were also the first Red Army units to start the Long March to prepare for the strategic shift of the Red Army.

After analyzing the enemy's "Iron Barrel" plan and the current situation between the enemy and ourselves, the Provisional Central Committee hastily made a decision and issued an action order for strategic transfer in the name of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. On October 8, the local Red Army troops were ordered to take over the defense on all lines, and the main force moved towards

On the 11th, the Red Army Headquarters and directly affiliated troops were organized into the 1st Field Column, and the central agency was the 2nd Field Column. A Central Branch headed by Xiang Ying and Chen Yi was established to lead the local troops to stay and persist.

From October 16th to 18th, the main force of the Central Red Army, 86,000 people, was urgently assembled in Yudu. They crossed the Dudu River from four ferries and launched a breakout campaign on October 21st. From then on, they embarked on the Long March.
