On the evening of July 31, 1927, the sweltering city of Nanchang was full of strange atmosphere, which was the eve of the Nanchang Uprising, but the headquarters of the 20th Army of the National Revolutionary Army He Long was quiet, everything was planned, just waiting for the arrival of the scheduled uprising time.
Suddenly, He Jinzhai, commander of the 1st Division of the 20th Army, and Liu Dawu, commander of the 1st Regiment, rushed into He Long's headquarters one after the other, disregarding any etiquette in the army. He Long knew He Jinzhai, if it were not for the urgency of the 120,000, he would always have to sit in the outhouse for a while and ask the adjutant if He Long had time to come in to talk about things, but today He Jinzhai unusually broke into He Long's headquarters.
When He Long saw this, he also stood up unusually to greet him: "Jinzhai, what happened?" ”
He Jinzhai put his hat on the table and gasped, "Fuck, the deputy of the third battalion has run!" ”
"Zhao Fusheng, the one who escaped from Wuhan and was recruited back, was demoted from battalion commander to deputy battalion commander."
As a military commander, He Long was not familiar with every cadre, and the gap between the ranks of the battalion-level cadres and the military commander was too large, but this deputy battalion commander He Long knew that he remembered this traitor.
Zhao Fusheng, a small man who joined the army in Binchuan, Yunnan, is very clever, and the promotion of the battalion commander is not slow, but he is a speculator, he wavered when he was in Wuhan, and he fled with more than 30 people at once, fled to Wushengguan, he hesitated again, and the people sent by He Long to appease him said that he returned to the team, and after returning to the team, he felt that he had no face to be the battalion commander again, and he asked to be demoted to deputy battalion commander. He Long generally no longer studied the repentant and obeyed him.
In fact, at this time, Zhao Fusheng had already lost his appeal in the army, knew that there would be no major surprise in the 20th Army, and had been waiting for the opportunity to find another way out. The opportunity he thought had finally come. At 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 1927, He Jinzhai, commander of the 1st Division, called a meeting of all the officers below the battalion level of the division and announced the order for riots.
Zhao Fusheng's purpose as a soldier was to get ahead, as soon as he heard the order to riot, his body trembled with fear, and when he was in Wuhan, he did not want to do it because He Long was too inclined to the Communist Party, and now He Long wanted to lead the 20th Army to the Communist Party in an all-round way, and he was bound to go to his death with his head.
The more Zhao Fusheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he cleverly thought that this was also a rare opportunity: if he reported to Zhu Peide, it would not be a great achievement after the fact. After the idea was decided, as soon as the meeting was over, he hurriedly took a few bites of food, put down his chopsticks and went outside, running to Zhu Peide's headquarters in one breath.
After Zhao Fusheng escaped here, he was quickly discovered by the soldiers in his battalion, and quickly reported to the battalion commander, who in turn reported to the regimental commander Liu Dawu, who in turn reported to the division commander He Jinzhai , who felt that the situation was very serious and might bring ruin to the rebel troops, so he took the regimental commander Liu Dawu to report to He Long.
After listening to He Jinzhai's report, He Long did not panic, at this time it did show He Long's extraordinary calmness and rationality, And He Long summed it up in his heart:
From the military command point of view, the enemy is 6 regiments, and it belongs to 3 armies, with different structures, no subordinate to each other, different command sequences, no one can command anyone, and the division commander is not there, so these 6 regiments can only fight separately, and they cannot form a joint force. The rebel troops, on the other hand, were formed by generals such as He Long, Ye Ting, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng, and Nie Rongzhen, and were directly guided by Zhou Enlai, who had always been in charge of the work of the Central Military Commission.
From the perspective of troop strength comparison, in addition to the 7 regiments of He Long's 20th Army, the rebel troops also had 3 regiments of Ye Ting, 2 regiments of the 25th Division, 3 regiments of Cai Tingkai's 10th Division, and other units. With 15 regiments of our army against 6 regiments of the enemy army, and more than 20,000 troops of our army against more than 10,000 enemy troops, the strength of the troops has the advantage.
Therefore, He Long analyzed that even if Zhao Fusheng informed the enemy of the enemy, it would be difficult to stop the uprising, and he analyzed that the impact of Zhao Fusheng's rebellion was not large. But attacking a prepared enemy is, after all, much more difficult than attacking an unprepared enemy.
"Traitor, scourge!" He Long scolded fiercely and went to find Zhou Enlai, who was scheduled to revolt at 4:00 a.m. on August 1, but began to act at 2:00 a.m. on August 1!
The course of the uprising was almost identical to what He Long had rehearsed in his mind, and victory was soon achieved, with He Long and Liu Bocheng inspecting everywhere, and He Jinzhai, commander of the 1st Division, pointed to one of the captives and whispered a few words in He Long's ear. He Long pulled his pipe out of his mouth and yelled, "Zhao Fusheng, you give me a list!" ”
He Long's voice was like a muffled thunder rolling over the captive's head, and Zhao Fusheng slowly stood up and turned his face, his pale face full of panic. He had heard He Long's roar many times, and he had also had the experience of standing in front of He Long waiting for punishment, and those times He Long did not really let him go, he survived, relying on pleading with a trembling voice.
Today he habitually shouted "Commander", he wanted to repeat the set of "life-saving words" in his stomach that had been prepared long ago, and ask for a way to survive, but today was different, He Long did not allow him to say it at all, and slashed at the soldier behind him, and said in a thick throat: "Pull out, shoot!" ”
Soon there was a gunshot, and He Long said to Liu Bocheng on the side: "This dog thing has harmed the lives of several of my brothers, and if I don't kill it, I can solve the hatred in my heart." However, I still have to ask someone to send money to his house, how to say that he also followed me out. ”
Liu Bocheng nodded: "The chaotic world uses heavy codes, and should be killed." ”
To say that although Zhao Fusheng was a battalion-level officer and a little clever, he could not distinguish the situation and lost his life, and it was inevitable that he would lose his life, and He Long also arranged for someone to send a sum of money to his family afterwards, which was an explanation to his family.
As a military commander, He Long not only embodies his fierce and vigorous side, but also reflects his tender side of caring for his subordinates, and embodies the true color of revolutionary soldiers, which is always worth learning.
