I am the chief of the security bureau of the Fifth Army ● Ouyang Yi
At the end of 1933, I was ordered to lead the team directly under the Security Bureau headed by Wu Lie to western Fujian to encircle and suppress political bandits in Shanghang, Yongding, and Wuping. Several enclosures were knocked out, several bandit leaders were suppressed, some guns were seized, and many women who were held hostage by bandits were rescued. It dealt a heavy blow to reactionary organizations such as the "Broadsword Society," which claimed that "a gun cannot be hit, and a big knife cannot be cut in."
Suddenly, a telegram transferred me from the front line of the suppression of bandits to the Ruijin National Security Bureau. I was sitting in my office sorting out my papers when the phone rang sharply. I picked it up and listened, and a familiar voice came: "Comrade Ouyang Yi......" I hurriedly replied: "I am ......"
"I'm Zhou Enlai......"
It was Vice Chairman Zhou who called me personally. He asked me to rush to the Central Military Commission immediately, and he wanted to talk to me personally about my job transfer.
Vice Chairman Zhou would like to give me personal instructions on my new work. I immediately set off on horseback and hurried to the headquarters of the Central Military Commission. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Chief of General Staff Liu Bocheng coming out of the house. I immediately jumped off my horse and hurriedly saluted President Liu.

President Liu returned the salute and said with a smile: "Comrade Ouyang Yi, you are strange when you get off the horse, you jump down and come down, you are very energetic!"
I laughed embarrassedly at my knee-jerk dismounting. Generally, when dismounting, the right leg is upside down over the horse's back, falling to the ground, and then loosening the stirrup of the left leg, and landing on both feet. And I didn't fall my feet, I loosened the stirrups with both feet at the same time, my body shrugged up, and both feet fell to the ground at the same time. This action is difficult, I am in a hurry, and I love to be athletic and agile. Unexpectedly, this action won the appreciation of President Liu.
Liu Bocheng ushered me into the room, invited me to sit down, brought me a glass of water, and then explained: "Unfortunately, Vice Chairman Zhou is going to attend an important meeting temporarily, and he has entrusted me to meet you. After explaining, he said solemnly: "Vice Chairman Zhou wants me to apologize to you, because he can't meet you in person because of this temporarily arranged meeting." ”
Apologize to me? Where does this begin? My heart was churning warmly, shaking my hand vigorously, not knowing how to answer.
General Chief Liu cordially conveyed to me Vice Chairman Zhou's instructions on transferring me to the Fifth Army Corps as the head of the Security Bureau and how I would carry out my work after I took office. He said that the Fifth Army of the Red Army was an army of nearly 20,000 men under the leadership of Zhao Bosheng, Dong Zhentang, and other comrades, and the Kuomintang troops revolted to join the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. However, a group of officers headed by Dong Zhentang were resolute in opposing Chiang's patriotism and leaning toward revolution, and they could be trusted and relied on. It is necessary to trust and respect Dong Zhentang and other comrades, and to resolutely proceed from the desire for unity to gradually transform this combat-effective unit; this is the premise and starting point for carrying out political defense work. He also told me that there were some underground party members in the Fifth Army Corps, who were doing very well, and that I had to rely on and unite them.
These instructions reassured me. I quickly rushed to the Fifth Army Corps, which was operating in the Jianning area of northeastern Jiangxi at that time, and immediately carried out political defense work in accordance with Vice Chairman Zhou's instructions.

After entering the corps headquarters, I met the famous corps commander Dong Zhentang for the first time. He is tall and burly, at first glance he is a northern man, wearing a faded military uniform, looking simple and honest, his eyes are bright, he is only in his 30s, and his face is already full of weather. Political Commissar Zhu Rui is relatively fat, with some sideburns and mustaches on his white face. They all warmly welcomed me to work in the Legion and said some words of encouragement.
After I took office, I made a long report on the political defense work at a meeting of cadres at and above the regiment and battalion level presided over by Political Commissar Li Zhuoran, explaining clearly and clearly the responsibilities of the security bureau in waging the struggle against the enemy, eliminating counterrevolutionaries, preventing sabotage by the enemy, and protecting the leaders at all levels, as well as the principles and methods for our work. Huang Zhen, chief of the propaganda section of the Political Department of the Corps, was a penman, and after listening to my report, he said: "If you talk well, you can sort out and organize an article. ”
At that time, the position of the Security Bureau in the corps was very prominent, and it was parallel to the Political Department and the General Staff, and the Standing Committee of the Corps Party Committee was composed of five members: the corps commander, the corps political commissar, the director of the political department, the chief of staff, and the director of the security bureau. This institutional nature began in 1931 and continued until the Anti-Japanese War was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, when the security bureau system was abolished and changed to a security department under the Political Department. The Legion Security Bureau has a large organizational structure, consisting of a reconnaissance department and an enforcement department, a reconnaissance section and an inspection section under the reconnaissance department, and an enforcement section and a pre-trial section under the enforcement department. There is also the General Affairs Office and the Security Office. The reconnaissance minister is Liu Huping, and the executive minister is Murong Chuqiang.

The Red 5th Army marched towards Longyan.
At dawn, the Red 15th Army (owed to the 43rd Division) took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, set out from Ochi, and advanced covertly towards Koike. Huang Zhongyue and Zuo Quan commanded the Red 15th Army to launch a fierce attack on the enemy, and the commander of the 44th Division, Su Jin, and political commissar Liu Ying, led their troops to defeat the 2nd Supplementary Battalion and the militia of the 49th Division of the enemy stationed in Xiaochi, killed the enemy battalion commander, cut off the tentacles of the enemy defending the enemy in Kaotang, and the remnants of the enemy were routed in the direction of Laikeng. Immediately, the Red Army advanced towards the Longmen attack. When entering the Kaotang area, the enemy's 49th Regiment and the 1st Supplementary Battalion of the 291st Division relied on the stubborn resistance of the existing positions, and the attack of the 45th Division of the Red 15th Army was frustrated, and the commander of the Red 1st Army immediately entered the battle with a part of the Red 4th Army. Huang Zhongyue and Zuo Quan led the vanguard of the Red 15th Army, regardless of the heavy casualties, brandished a big knife to open a bloody road, and after two hours of fierce fighting, the Red 44th Division and the 45th Division broke into the city from the West Gate and the North Gate respectively. Most of the enemy's independent regiment defending Longyan was annihilated, Zhang Xingbai, the head of the independent regiment and the magistrate of Longyan County, was wounded, and led more than 100 remnants to follow Yang Fengnian and his direct team to break through from the south gate, and the commander of the regiment, Ruan Baohong, and Han Liutian, the commander of the supplementary battalion, were missing, and the Red Army captured Longyan City in the afternoon of the same day.

After receiving the report of the Red Army's westward advance into Yunnan, Chiang Kai-shek convened a meeting of the senior generals of his "pursuit and suppression" army and decided on a new strategy of "pursuing and suppressing the army in close pursuit, encirclement, and suppression, and not resting."
