Long
In February 1935, the main force of the Red Army was fighting in blood on the road, and the Red Army and local armed forces left in the Soviet zone under the command of Xiang Ying and other commanders were also in a dangerous situation, and the enemy's breath was close at hand, Xiang Ying and others decided to break it into pieces, maximize their strength, and make protracted guerrilla warfare arrangements. One of the decisions was to send Qu Qiubai and other breakouts. Qu Qiubai suffered from tuberculosis, high fever, coughing, and his body was already extremely weak, in urgent need of treatment and recuperation. There is also He Huzi He Shuheng, who is nearly sixty years old and stubborn, and his ambition can no longer be the master of the body. There is also Xiang Ying's wife, Zhang Liang, who is pregnant. They also wanted to move out with Qu Qiubai. The plan is to travel to Hong Kong or Shanghai through Fujian or Guangdong to seek medical treatment, recuperation, and engage in secret work. Deng Zihui was ordered to lead the guerrilla war in the Yongding and Longyan areas of Fujian Province, and set out at the same time as them. The day we depart is February 11.
Qu Qiubai, who interviewed Lenin
He Shuheng
Qu Qiubai, He Shuheng, and Deng Zihui disguised themselves as merchants, while the others disguised themselves as family members or followers, each with their own roles. However, it is also necessary to avoid interrogation to the greatest extent possible. Although it is a chaotic situation, it is not surprising that merchants bring entourage. However, this somewhat large-scale disguise cannot withstand scrutiny and scrutiny. Only by going down at night can the tense nerves relax a little.
A day later, they arrived at Tangwu, the seat of the Fujian Provincial CPC Committee, and Wan Yongcheng, secretary of the Fujian Provincial CPC Committee and political commissar of the Fujian Provincial Military Region, received the group. Seeing that there was only one female comrade Zhang Liang in the team, and she was six months pregnant, and she needed a female comrade to take care of her, she proposed that Zhou Yuelin, the minister of women of the Central Soviet District, follow and take care of Zhang Liang. He sent a platoon of the military district's special agent company to escort him. It was also on his proposal that Qu Qiubai and others disguised themselves as captured Red Army soldiers, and escorted red troops dressed in Kuomintang uniforms and "escorted" them across the enemy's blockade line.
Subsequently, Qu Qiubai and others still dressed up as mushroom merchants, and the red army escorting them pretended to be followers, day and night.
The mountain road is dangerous and deep, and only this line of people can walk. Even the birds' protrusive chirping will make their hearts palpitate. Bumping into the enemy, it is definitely a nest of enemies, and the only option for this weak team is to break through and escape! To be able to escape is to win. It was a sad team, and escaping was their victory. Like the main forces of the Red Army on the Long March, they marched forward in sorrow and crossed the dark night.
Shanghang
History records this day: February 24, 1935. In the early hours of the morning, they walked to the vicinity of Xiaoyi Village near Shuikou Town in Shanghang County. However, they did not know the location, thinking that the other side of the mountain was still a mountain, and the forest was still outside the forest. Seeing that everyone was tired and hungry, the secret agents lined up to cook on the fire, and the tired and hungry people ignored a cooking smoke and flew into the sky! It was a fatal mistake they made. And the foreshadowing of this mistake is: they don't have a guide who is familiar with the environment!
The security regiment across the mountain from the forest rushed in the direction of the rising smoke. At this time, the various reactionary local armed forces were shaking their spirits violently, and when they were arrogant, the "Hu Hansan" returned!
Before the freshly cooked rice could be eaten, the gunshots rang out, and the enemy was already wrapped up in front of him. The special agent platoon swung their guns to block the enemy and cover the retreat of Qu Qiubai and others. The enemy is three breads, and the retreat is the mountain. The special agent platoon fought and retreated, covering Qu Qiubai and others to break through to the mountains. Qu Qiubai was supported by the soldiers of the special agent platoon, Zhang Liang was supported by Zhou Yuelin, and He Shuheng was breathless and struggled to follow, and the only direction without enemies was the direction leading to the peak. The obstruction of the enemy is arduous, the short gun against the long gun is a loss in the gun battle, and how the soldiers who block the enemy hope that Qu Qiubai and so on will withdraw faster and faster. Unable to go any faster, they could only struggle to slow down the enemy's pursuit.
He Shuheng was really physically exhausted, and struggled to shake off Deng Zihui, who was supporting him, pointed his gun at his temple, and said: "Comrade Zihui, I have revolutionized to the end!" "He doesn't want to drag down the comrades anymore!" Deng Zihui exclaimed, "Old Ho! The sharpshooter grabbed the gun and the gun rang out, and He Shuheng rolled down the cliff. He Shuheng went to his death decisively to alleviate the drag of his comrades.
Qu Qiubai and the others looked at the cliff where He Shuheng had rolled down in shock.
"Evacuate!" Deng Zi shouted.
Deng Zihui
Qu Qiubai and Zhang Liang could no longer run, the two of them and Zhou Yuelin were hidden in a dense grass, Qu Qiubai waved his hand eagerly to Deng Zihui who was rushing forward, and said, "You withdraw!" ”
Deng Zihui understood that luring the enemy away was the best way to protect Qu Qiubai and the others at this time, and he led the remaining special agent platoon fighters to fight and retreat, and finally got rid of the enemy.
However, the enemy conducted a carpet search of the mountains and grass, and Qu Qiubai, Zhou Yuelin, and Zhang Liang were captured.
The enemy found He Shuheng, who was blurred with flesh and blood, and thought he was dead, but when he searched him, he suddenly held the enemy's legs and feet to fight to the death, and the enemy fired two shots in a row, and He Shuheng was sacrificed.
The initial enemy did not know that they had captured Qu Qiubai, the former main leader of the CPC Central Committee, Zhou Yuelin, the women's minister of the CPC Soviet region, and Zhang Liang, Xiang Ying's wife.
Each of the three has its own arguments. The words had been agreed upon while hiding among the grass.
Zhou Yuelin said that his name was Chen Xiuying, and he was arrested by the Red Army to become a nurse.
Zhang Liang, known as Zhou Lianyu, is the proprietor of a mushroom trading house.
Qu Qiubai insisted that his name was Lin Qixiang, who had studied medicine at Tongji University and was arrested as a doctor when the Red Army attacked Zhangzhou.
But the baggage the three carry on their backs revealed unusual information: Hong Kong dollars, gold, shell guns, etc. Now that they were prepared to be captured, they should be hidden elsewhere. There is a fluke mentality of escaping. Preparations for not being able to get out are not thorough.
The enemy suspected that Qu Qiubai was a prominent communist and tortured him, but Qu Qiubai's answer was always consistent.
Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liangna were too.
Their answers are also becoming more and more comprehensive.
The enemy was half-convinced.
However, the enemy said that he wanted to go out and get local protection. The so-called shop guarantee is the guarantee of the shop. The local shop comes forward to guarantee, and if the person being guaranteed has a problem, he can find the responsible person, after all, the shop cannot be said to disappear and disappear, and the guarantee is responsible.
Qu Qiubai wrote letters to Lu Xun and his wife Yang Zhihua in the name of Lin Qixiang.
Qu Qiubai and Lu Xun
Zhou Yuelin was bailed out by a battalion commander of the security regiment named Li Yu to work as a nanny at his house.
A candy shop owner took Zhang Liang out, the boss has no heirs, and Zhang Liang, who has a big belly, can solve this problem.
The party organization in Shanghai received the news of Qu Qiubai's arrest, and through the owner of an inn, wanted to open a semicolon in Changting, and then came forward to bail Qu Qiubai out. Nature is acting in a hurry.
However, an unexpected situation occurred: Wan Yongcheng led his troops to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy army that was heavily encircled and suppressed, and almost the entire army was destroyed, and Wan Yongcheng was sacrificed. His wife Xu Shi was captured by the enemy during the breakout, and confessed the news that Qu Qiubai and others had been captured. This news was reported to Jiang Dingwen, director of the Kuomintang Appeasement Office in Fujian and commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, who urgently ordered Li Mo'an, commander of the 36th Division stationed in Changting County and commander of the Second Appeasement District stationed in Longyan, to urgently find out and report it.
Zhou Yuelin and Zhang Liang, who were released on bail, were re-taken into custody. Qu Qiubai was escorted to Changting.
Wu Songtao, chief of the Military Justice Department of the 36th Division, interrogated Qu Qiubai, who did not admit his true identity. In fact, knowing that it was Qu Qiubai, it was not difficult to find a designated person, and Song Xilian, the commander of the 36th Division, recognized it! During the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, Qu Qiubai served as an alternate executive member of the Kuomintang Central Committee and a member of the Kuomintang Central Political Committee, and was a well-known figure, and Chiang Kai-shek recognized him! At that time, Song Xilian had read Qu Qiubai's works, and had also heard Qu Qiubai's speeches, and he admired Qu Qiubai's knowledge very much. At his fingertips was a Traitor of the Red Army named Zheng Dapeng, who identified Lin Qixiang as actually Qu Qiubai!
Qu Qiubai stood up calmly and said, "Since I have been identified, I don't have to be confused, I am Qu Qiubai!" ”
Song Xilian
Song Xilian went into the cell and offered to treat him well.
Qu Qiubai: It is acceptable to use some medicine to alleviate the pain, but serious treatment is completely unnecessary.
Song Xilian: When the two countries go to war, they still practice humanitarianism for the wounded and sick prisoners of war, not to mention that you and I are compatriots of one country.
Qu Qiubai snapped: Chiang Kai-shek started in 1927 by bloodily suppressing the revolution and launched five counter-revolutionary encirclement and suppression campaigns in spite of national difficulties.
Song Xilian avoided this topic and handed Qu Qiubai a cigarette.
Song Xilian: What are the requirements for life and health?
Qu Qiubai: As a patient, I am not opposed to seeing a doctor and taking medicine; as a half-pulled literati, I need pen and ink paper and a desk to write things; I need tobacco and alcohol to write things, but I have no money, and the only belongings are all taken away by the security team.
Song Xilian replied immediately: These requirements can be met!
Under Song Xilian's arrangement, Qu Qiubai's living conditions in prison were improved, and Officers at all levels under Song Xilian referred to Qu Qiubai as "Mr. Qu".
With paper and pen, Qu Qiubai faced the vicissitudes of the motherland and poured out his heart words.
The cell where Qu Qiubai is held
After a period of nostalgia and contemplation, Song Xilian appeared. Handing over cigarettes, Qu Qiubai was frank and comfortable, talking about his position, Qu Qiubai made a generous statement, the bones of Zheng Rong under the weak appearance stood up, and the lines carefully prepared by Song Xilian collapsed in an instant. Song Xilian was captured during the Liberation War and was granted an amnesty in 1959. On the day of his release from prison, Chen Geng made a special trip to the prison to pick him up. When Song Xilian was studying at the Whampoa Military Academy, he was introduced by Chen Geng and secretly joined the Communist Party. Of course, the public identity is also a member of the Kuomintang. Later, he became an important general in the Nationalist army, a famous general in the War of Resistance, and then fought bloody battles with the Communists. After the amnesty, when Qu Qiubai was once regarded as a traitor, someone came to him and learned about Qu Qiubai many years ago, and Song Xilian cautiously replied: Qu Qiubai did not defect!
Qu Qiubai wrote the text Song Xilian let his subordinates show it to him, and the most interesting thing for him was the last few sentences of the word "Bu Operator": "Flowers fall and know the spring remnants, a wind and rain, the letter is coming again next spring, there should be incense as before." ”
If he could persuade Qu Qiubai to surrender, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement in Song Xilian. Emotionally, from the utilitarian heart, Song Xilian wanted to save Qu Qiubai's life. In Nanjing, the commander of the Eastern Route Army repeatedly urged Qu Qiubai to do anything, and Song Xilian was under pressure.
On June 2, Chiang Kai-shek secretly ordered: "Qu Qiubai will be shot on the spot in Fujian and photographed." If there is remorse, you can still apply for exemption from the sentence. ”
Chen Lifu, the commander of the Central Committee, quickly dispatched men and horses to rush to Changting. Song Xilian coldly watched the people of the Central Unification go in and out of Qu Qiubai's cell like a marquee, some of them were masters of persuasion, they played tricks with reason and emotion, and some traitors of the Communist Party appeared with Qu Qiubai to talk about how they were preferentially treated and used by the Kuomintang after the defection.
Qu Qiubai: "I am not Gu Shunzhang, I am Qu Qiubai, I would rather be a clumsy person who does not know current affairs, and I do not want to be a current affairs person who sells his soul!" ”
There was a central government that wanted to make a fuss about Qu Qiubai, and Chiang Kai-shek's secret order was delayed.
After the farce of the Central Unification ended, Song Xilian could no longer delay.
On the morning of June 18, the commander of the special agent company of the Kuomintang 36th Division went into the cell and showed Qu Qiubai the order to execute the execution. Song Xilian came to the outside of the cell, and Qu Qiubai, who came out of the cell, said with a relaxed look: "There are small breaks in life, there are big breaks, and I will take a big rest in the future." ”
A reporter who was present at the time recorded: "Qu Qiubai came to the park, strolled to the front of the pavilion, and saw four plates of vegetables and an urn of fine wine, and he sat alone on it, pouring himself a drink, talking and laughing freely, and looking the same." ”
Qu Qiubai was righteous
After drinking the wine, Qu Qiubai lit a cigarette and walked to the execution ground while inhaling. More than two miles away, he walked leisurely, and later threw the high-pitched "Internationale" to the world.
Walking to the execution ground, he sat cross-legged on the lawn, smiled and said, "This place is very good!" He said to the executioner, "Shoot in the face!" ”
This year, Qu Qiubai was 36 years old.
Long March Road, comrades-in-arms in blood rushing to kill!
