preface
On September 11, 1971, Chairman Mao's special train was moving faster and faster, and the carriage began to shake violently, and even the books on Chairman Mao's desk were shaken so that they slipped to the ground. In this regard, the special train driver is very worried.
However, Chairman Mao felt that it was still not fast enough, so he personally visited the driver of the special train and asked, "Can the train go faster?" ”
Chairman Mao: Now transfer the car back, we will leave immediately
On September 3, 1971, during his southern tour, Chairman Mao arrived in Hangzhou by special train. As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, Chairman Mao found some local responsible persons and began talking.
On September 8, Chairman Mao was about to rest after a tiring day when he received news that someone in Hangzhou was equipping an airplane, and accused his special train of stopping at the branch line of Hangzhou's Jianqiao Airport for obstructing people from walking.
After hearing this news, Chairman Mao felt very unusual. This is because his special train stopped on the branch line near Jianqiao Airport, not once or twice.
Because such a situation had never happened before, the more Chairman Mao thought about it, the more it was not the case, so after dinner late at night, he brought Wang Dongxing to him and said to him: "Transfer the special train immediately." ”
After listening to Chairman Mao's words, although Wang Dongxing felt very puzzled, he did not ask more, and as before, according to the habit of obeying orders, he asked Chairman Mao: "Is it to move backward or forward?" ”
Seeing that Chairman Mao did not think well, Wang Dongxing reported the transfer to Chairman Mao and said: "Backward is to Jinhua, forward to Shanghai." I suggest that you can go to Shaoxing. ”
Thinking of Shaoxing's branch line from Hangzhou to Ningbo, where the special train stopped to facilitate the transfer when returning north, Chairman Mao said: "Yes." That way you can go back less. After obtaining Chairman Mao's consent, Wang Dongxing quickly conveyed Chairman Mao's orders downward.
When the order to prepare for the transfer was received, the flight attendant of the special train was still asleep. Regarding this matter, Yue Suhua later recalled:
"On September 8, after a day of intense work, the comrades at the air base arranged a night movie for us, showing two films in a row, until midnight. It was already past 1 a.m. after the movie, and we returned to the temporary dormitory at the base and fell asleep.
In my sleep, I seemed to hear someone calling my name, and suddenly I woke up. If I listened carefully, someone was indeed calling out to me. I quickly got up and looked out the window, it turned out to be our Captain Zhao. He whispered to me, 'Don't turn on the lights, get up quickly, and get in the car with everything.' ’
At this time, the other comrades also woke up one after another, and we quickly packed up our things and quietly boarded the train. According to the request of the chairman, we checked all the work, and the conductor informed the locomotive to start.
None of the preparations we made before the locomotive started alarmed the comrades at the base, so the roar of the locomotive suddenly surprised them. One of the people in charge of the base quickly ran over to find out.
Before he could speak, the special train staff took the vegetable wallet calculated according to the regulations and handed it to him, and the train had already started. ”
On September 9, Chairman Mao's special train was safely transferred to Shaoxing. On this day, except for the transfer of the special train, the staff around Chairman Mao did not feel anything special and spent the day peacefully.
On September 10, because they did not receive other tasks, Chen Changjiang and other security personnel played a friendly basketball game with local security personnel according to normal arrangements.
That day, before the start of the friendly match, the leader of the Central Guard Regiment greeted them and told everyone to be friendly first and competition second.
The reason why the leaders arranged this was because Chairman Mao's security personnel were all selected by thousands of people, and their quality was very high in all aspects, and they were much higher than the local security personnel in terms of basketball skills and physical strength.
As the whistle blew at the start of the game, the two sides fought for possession, dribbled the ball and scored shots. Soon, the guards around Chairman Mao took the lead and extended the advantage of the score.
According to normal circumstances, the security personnel around Chairman Mao were so far behind the local guards in terms of the score that even if the local personnel did their best, they would not be able to equalize at all.
Amid the enthusiastic applause and frequent applause of the audience, the first half of the game ended. By the second half, it was halfway through, but the gap was still wide.
At this time, the local guards called a timeout and began to adjust tactics. After the guards around Chairman Mao gathered together, the leader gave everyone a look and smiled and instructed: "Don't forget, you can't win!" ”
After the timeout, both sides played again. After the game began, the local guards really changed a lot from before, frequently making steals and striding shots. The guards around Chairman Mao did not release water obviously, but when they were about to contact each other, they quietly left their hands, showing the friendship they should have.
In this way, the local guards took advantage of the situation to close the gap in the score. Seeing that the new tactics had worked, the local guards were very excited and showed more heroism. At the same time, the performance of the local security personnel also won the applause of the audience.
Suddenly, the end whistle sounded, and the scores on the scoreboard were similar, and the local guards scored two points more than the guards around Chairman Mao.
After the friendly basketball game, Chairman Mao's guards walked back to their station sweaty, changed their clothes, and went to the restaurant to eat. That day, the weather was relatively hot, everyone was eating delicious hot noodles again, and their clothes were soaked with sweat again.
After eating, everyone quickly returned to their accommodation, changed their wet clothes and washed them out, and changed into clean clothes.
At noon, after eating and enjoying the cold, Wang Dongxing suddenly received a notice from Chairman Mao that he was asked to go over immediately. When he saw Wang Dongxing, Chairman Mao said, "Now transfer the car back, and we will leave immediately." ”
When receiving the order relayed by Wang Dongxing, the clothes that everyone dried out were still exposed to the scorching sun, and some clothes were still dripping with water droplets.
Although the security personnel were very puzzled by the sudden order to leave, because this time the order was different from the past, they only said that they would leave immediately, but it was not clear where to go.
However, everyone was convinced of Chairman Mao's order, and soon packed up their things, put on their military uniforms, and set off with their weapons in hand.
Wang Hongwen: Commander Xu, Chairman Mao has been waiting for you for almost 15 hours
At 2:50 p.m., Chairman Mao's special train arrived in Hangzhou. Afterwards, Chairman Mao and others boarded the special train, left at 3:35 a.m., and headed for Shanghai.
At 6:10, after nearly 3 hours of driving, the special train stopped near Wujia Garden near Hongqiao Airport. Here, Chairman Mao did not get off the bus.
Subsequently, for the sake of safety, Wang Dongxing withdrew all the local guard units, put them in charge of the peripheral guards, and changed the soldiers of the Central Guard Regiment to the main service car in which Chairman Mao was riding, and instructed them to strictly enforce discipline and pay attention to vigilance.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dongxing transferred the soldiers of two central guard regiments to the airport oil depot 150 meters away from the special train to guard. After checking the guard post, Wang Dongxing returned to the special train.
Seeing Wang Dongxing's return, Chairman Mao said: "I want Xu Shiyou, commander of the Nanjing Military Region, to come to Shanghai for talks." Soon, Wang Dongxing asked Zhang Yaoci to call Wang Hongwen and ask Xu Shiyou to come to Shanghai immediately.
Wang Hongwen searched for a long time, but did not find Xu Shiyou. However, Wang Hongwen did not report the incident. Therefore, Chairman Mao did not know that Xu Shiyou had not been found.
At 10 p.m., Chairman Mao's special train entered Shanghai. Seeing Wang Hongwen waiting there alone, Chairman Mao looked a little unhappy and said, "If you want to inform Xu Shiyou to come to Shanghai, why didn't you see him coming?" ”
Seeing Chairman Mao's expression of displeasure, Wang Hongwen said carefully: "I called, but I didn't get in touch, I may have gone to the countryside." ”
Thinking that at this time, because of the needs of combat readiness, the commanders of the Grand Military Region had 24-hour uninterrupted contact with the combat readiness duty room, Chairman Mao asked Wang Hongwen to contact him overnight and find a way to find Xu Shiyou and let him come to Shanghai quickly.
At 10 a.m. on September 11, after Xu Shiyou arrived in Shanghai by plane from Nanjing, he was immediately led by a special person to Chairman Mao's special train.
Upon learning of Xu Shiyou's arrival, Chairman Mao immediately received him and Wang Hongwen. When he saw Xu Shiyou, Chairman Mao asked, "When did you arrive in Shanghai?" Xu Shiyou replied: "Chairman, after receiving the notice, I arrived early this morning by plane from the Nanjing Military Region. ”
Immediately afterwards, Chairman Mao asked continuously: "Xu Shiyou, have you gone to the countryside?" What are you going to do? What problems are you investigating? Xu Shiyou replied, "I went to see the farm, the military reclamation farm near Dabie Mountain." ”
Listening to Xu Shiyou's answer, Chairman Mao criticized: "How can you not even have a home?" All day long, you, the commander, leave your post casually, how can you do it? Who did you ask for? What if something goes wrong? Even the Nanjing Military Region can't find you! In the future, you should pay attention to such a situation, tell the family? ”
Hearing Chairman Mao reproach himself, Xu Shiyou immediately reviewed: "I'm sorry! I think the chairman will stay in Hangzhou for a few more days, but he can come to me. I returned to Nanjing after 12 o'clock last night, took a break first, and did not call Shanghai. ”
In order to make Chairman Mao happy, Xu Shiyou said: "Chairman, this year's agriculture may have a bumper harvest, the military reclamation farm is also good, the crops are growing very well, and a bumper harvest is in sight!" ”
Seeing that Xu Shiyou knew his mistake, he talked about a bumper agricultural harvest. Thinking that the people's lives would definitely improve, Chairman Mao said happily: "Well! You can go see agriculture! ”
Thinking that Chairman Mao must also be very concerned about the situation of the army at this time, Xu Shiyou said: "Chairman, the mood of the army is very good. There is relative stability in the army. After listening to Xu Shiyou's words, Chairman Mao was indeed even more happy.
At this time, Wang Hongwen on the side interjected: "Commander Xu, Chairman Mao has been waiting for you for almost 15 hours!" Chairman Mao waved his hand and said, "Don't do this, it doesn't matter!" ”
Later, Chairman Mao said to Xu Shiyou and others: "Some people are engaged in conspiracies and tricks, not in an upright manner; We are engaged in separatism, not unity. ”
Then, Chairman Mao asked, "Will you sing 'Three Major Disciplines and Eight Attentions'?" Wang Hongwen said: "Yes!" Chairman Mao said: "The three major disciplines and eight points of attention, the rules must be clearly remembered, and when you laugh, you can't remember a few of them... Not only sing, but also explaining, but also doing it! ”
After listening to Chairman Mao's words, Xu Shiyou said firmly: "We must follow the instructions of the Chairman." ”
After Xu Shiyou finished speaking, Chairman Mao felt very satisfied and told him to pay attention to safety! After listening to Chairman Mao's instructions to him, Xu Shiyou felt very warm in his heart.
Suddenly, Chairman Mao raised his head and asked Xu Shiyou and Wang Hongwen: "Have you eaten?" At this time, Wang Hongwen looked at the watch on his wrist, and it was already 1 p.m.
Immediately afterwards, Chairman Mao said: "It's time for lunch, and I won't invite you to eat in the car today." Then, the comrades in Shanghai should invite Comrade Xu Shiyou to dinner, just at the Jin Jiang Hotel, your dishes should be better! ”
Listening to Chairman Mao's words, Wang Hongwen said with a smile: "We will follow the Chairman's instructions!" Immediately afterwards, Chairman Mao said: "You eat, I rest!" ”
Thinking that Wang Dongxing might not have eaten, Xu Shiyou looked at him and said, "Director Wang, you also go." Wang Dongxing said: "I'm not going, thank you!" ”
At this time, Chairman Mao said again: "Director Wang, after you send them away, come back." ”
When parting, Wang Hongwen asked Chairman Mao to stay in Shanghai for a few more days, and Xu Shiyou also said: "Chairman, there is still some time before the National Day, please ask the chairman to stay for a few days anyway when passing through Nanjing, let me entertain!" Chairman Mao smiled and did not express his position.
After bidding farewell to Chairman Mao, Wang Hongwen made an inviting gesture to Xu Shiyou and happily invited him to dinner.
From Chairman Mao's words, Xu Shiyou heard other meanings, did not show any displeasure, smiled and walked out of the special train with Wang Hongwen, and everyone went to the Jin Jiang Hotel together.
After sending off Xu Shiyou and the others, Wang Dongxing came to Chairman Mao. Chairman Mao asked, "Are they gone?" Wang Dongxing said, "Gone." Chairman Mao said: "Let's go, you immediately send the avant-garde car." ”
Thinking of walking in such a hurry, Wang Dongxing asked again: "Don't notify them, right?" Chairman Mao said, "Don't greet them." No notice, no one to notify. ”
After coming out of Chairman Mao, Wang Dongxing immediately told Zhang Yaoci and asked him to inform the special train to drive immediately. Regarding the process of this matter, Yue Suhua, a flight attendant on Chairman Mao's special train, recalled:
It was nearly noon when the two got off the train, and dinner was open on the train. Zhang Yaoci came over from the chairman's car and told us to drive immediately. The train staff quickly put down their dishes and chopsticks and took their places. After a few minutes, Zhang Yaoci came again and asked, 'Why hasn't the car driven yet?' The leader of the train said that he had contacted the Ministry of Railways, and the road bureau and sub-bureau could only open the line after receiving the driving order. Zhang Yaoci said anxiously: 'The chairman asked to drive immediately, and everything was under the chairman's command. ”
At 1:12 p.m., Chairman Mao's special train slowly started and left Shanghai, faster and faster.
In Yue Suhua's view, this matter seemed very unusual, she said: "The front-drive car started first. According to the convention, for the sake of driving safety, the front-drive train must leave a section before the chairman's main train can start, and the distance between the two trains must be ten minutes. But this time, the front-drive and the main train started almost at the same time, and only the method of speeding up the front-drive train and slowly starting the main train to open the distance during operation. ”
Xu Shiyou: Comrade Desheng, you must defend Chairman Mao well
At the Jin Jiang Hotel, Wang Hongwen called the manager of the hotel and specially set up a large round table in the small banquet hall on the top floor of the south building, explaining that the manager should stir-fry a few more good dishes to entertain Xu Shiyou.
In addition, Wang Hongwen also specially asked for a few bottles of Maotai to make Xu Shiyou happy. During the banquet, Xu Shiyou and everyone toasted frequently, and laughter continued.
Later, Wang Hongwen went out to answer a call, and when he returned, he whispered in Xu Shiyou's ear: "The chairman is gone, just left!" Xu Shiyou's brows furrowed and said, "Oh? He quickly regained his expression and drank with everyone again.
Later, Wang Hongwen went out to answer another call, and when he came back, he was like a different person. At this time, Xu Shiyou stood up, took the cup and drank it, and said, "It's over, I still have to rush back to Nanjing!" ”
After coming out of the private room, Xu Shiyou said with a anxious tone: "How can you walk so fast?" I want to fly in front of the train and rush to Nanjing Station to see off the chairman..."
Besides, after the special train was started, at the request of Chairman Mao, it traveled faster and faster on the railway, galloping towards Nanjing.
Yue Suhua recalled: "After the train started, the speed became faster and faster, and the carriage shook badly. The waiter next to the chairman reported that the books on the chairman's desk had fallen to the floor. The section commander approached the train leader and said that the driver was very worried about the operation safety of the train if he opened the law in this way. The train leader replied that everything is subject to the chief's arrangement, and we will make every effort to ensure safety. ”
Later, Chairman Mao made a point of visiting the train driver and asked, "Can the train go faster?" Looking at the embarrassed train driver, Chairman Mao explained: "The faster your train goes, the safer I am." ”
After listening to Chairman Mao's words, the special train driver drove the train at full speed, quickly passed the Shuofang Bridge, and arrived in Nanjing at 6:35 p.m.
After the special train stopped, the staff said to Chairman Mao: "The train arrives 10 minutes early. Chairman Mao nodded and said meaningfully something that the staff did not know why: "It's good to be 10 minutes early!" ”
At this time, another staff member came in and told Chairman Mao that Xu Shiyou was outside the train and asked Chairman Mao if he would receive him. Chairman Mao said: "No, no one is gone, I want to rest." ”
After listening to Chairman Mao's words, Wang Dongxing and Zhang Yaoci exited Chairman Mao's room, got out of the car, and walked towards Xu Shiyou.
After Wang Dongxing and Zhang Yaoci came over, Xu Shiyou asked, "Can the chairman get off the bus?" Wang Dongxing said: "The chairman did not sleep last night, and now he is resting." The Chairman also said that he would not get off the bus when he got here. ”
After the three talked on the platform for about 10 minutes, Wang Dongxing and Zhang Yaoci said goodbye to Xu Shiyou and boarded the train.
After the special train started, Xu Shiyou stood in the station, facing Chairman Mao's carriage, respectfully saluted a military salute, and watched the special train slowly leave, but he was unwilling to leave for a long time.
At 1:10 p.m. on September 12, Chairman Mao's special train stopped smoothly at Beijing's Fengtai Railway Station. After talking with Li Desheng, Ji Dengkui, Wu De, and Wu Zhong, Chairman Mao asked Li Desheng to transfer 1 division from the 38th Army to Nankou.
At 3:36 p.m., after receiving a report that Li Desheng had already arranged for the transfer of a division, Chairman Mao ordered a special train to enter Beijing. At 4:05, Chairman Mao's special train arrived safely at Beijing Station. Afterwards, Chairman Mao returned to Zhongnanhai in a sedan car.
At 5 a.m. on September 13, Xu Shiyou received a call from Premier Zhou Enlai in Nanjing, asking him to watch all military and civilian airports and docks...
Soon, Xu Shiyou issued an order: "Notify the southern sky, the plane is not allowed to take off; The East China Sea Fleet was informed that no ships were allowed to go to sea. Each airfield sent an army battalion to immediately enter the airport in a large truck and park the truck on the runway. ”
Thinking of Chairman Mao's safety, Xu Shiyou answered Li Desheng's phone and said to him: "Comrade Desheng, you must defend Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee well!" ”
On September 14, after learning that Chairman Mao was safe, Xu Shiyou was relieved, found two bottles of Maotai wine, and drank them alone.
When the second bottle of Moutai wine bottomed out, Xu Shiyou got up from his seat, walked leisurely to the bed, touched the edge of the bed and put his tired body down on the bed, and the snoring sounded immediately.
