During the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, Chen Geng served as a defender at the general headquarters of the uprising.
The Nanchang uprising caused panic among the Kuomintang, who immediately sent heavy troops to defend Nanchang. In order to avoid its sharp edge, from August 3 to 5, the rebel troops withdrew from Nanchang one after another. Chen Geng was ordered to march with his troops to Guangzhou.
Late August. The troops passed through Fuzhou and Ruijin, and engaged in fierce battles with the Qian Dajun Division of the Kuomintang troops near Nanchang. Chen Geng's Third Division was the vanguard unit, the first to engage the enemy. Chen Geng led a battalion, launched an attack from the front, and captured 3 mountain bags in one go. However, the troops who were responsible for the two-wing attack failed to enter the attack point on time, so that the Chen Geng battalion, which was rushing in front, set up a lone army to go deeper. The strength of the enemy's 4 regiments was covered by artillery fire and pressed towards our positions. With the enemy outnumbered, Chen Geng ordered a retreat.
Chen Geng and his adjutant Lu Dongsheng walked last, fighting and retreating, the enemy approaching step by step, and bullets flew like shooting stars. Suddenly, Chen Geng felt that someone had slapped him on the back, and he fell to the ground with a "fluttering" sound. I wanted to stand up, but my right leg was fluttering lightly, and I couldn't make any strength at all. Generally hot baking, slimy streams seeped out along the left leg, and it turned out that the left leg was shot twice. Seeing that the pursuing enemy was getting closer and closer, Chen Geng gritted his teeth and rolled down the mountain and fell into a field ditch covered with thatch. Suddenly, the blood stained a ditch of water.
"Battalion commander! Battalion commander! ”
Chen Geng was confused and felt that someone was shaking him, and he opened his eyes forcefully and recognized that it was Lu Dongsheng.
"Go ahead, leave me alone." Chen Geng said and fainted again.
"Da-da-da-da-
"Battalion commander, if you want to die, you will die together, I will never be alone first," Lu Dongsheng almost cried.
die? Oh, yes! The enemy will die when he comes. But Chen Geng thought that he was still young, and the revolution had just begun. He let Lu Dongsheng hide in the grass and smeared himself with blood.
The gunfire gradually stopped. Chen Geng thought that the enemy might search the mountains. Sure enough, after a while, the swearing and grinning sounded closer and closer, and the enemy searched and flipped the corpse with a gun. A groan will bring a shot. Maybe it was Chen Geng's life, and the enemy just kicked it with his foot and passed. Due to excessive bleeding, Chen Geng passed out again.
I don't know how long later, Chen Geng woke up again, only to hear the people on the mountain shouting horses. He was just about to open his eyes to peek when he got a butt on his ass. Seeing that they all had red belts hanging around their necks, Chen Geng knew that it was Ye Ting's troops, so he struggled to sit up.
"I... I'm my own person! ”
"Own people? Whoever proves you are their own! ”
"Me, I prove it!" Lu Dongsheng, who was hiding in the grass, jumped out. Pointing at Chen Geng, he said, "He is our battalion commander!" ”
"Battalion commander? I'm still the regimental commander! Less rambling, take them away. ”
In the city of Huichang, in front of the headquarters. An officer with a red belt around his neck looked at Chen Geng and asked, "Which part of you two are there?" ”
"We are..." Before he could finish speaking, the officer suddenly recognized Chen Geng.
"Yo, aren't you the famous commander of the Chen Geng battalion?" I saw you during the Nanchang Uprising. Chen Geng nodded weakly. At this time, several people came out of the headquarters, and the one who walked in the front was Zhou Enlai, who ran over and supported Chen Geng and said, "We almost wrote you into the list of fallen soldiers!" ”
Chen Geng also jokingly replied: "Report to the King of Yama, who said that I was still young and let me come back again." ”
The Battle of Huichang, together with the Battle of Nongtian, caused heavy casualties among the rebels. In order to avoid a decisive battle with the enemy under unfavorable circumstances, the command decided to divert to western Fujian. Chen Geng folded eastward into Fujian with his troops.
There is a church hospital called Gospel in Tingzhou, Fujian. In 1925, the wave of the "May Thirtieth" patriotic movement stirred up the mountain city, British doctors were scared away, and the Xiaodi masses elected Fu Lianyuan as the president, and Chen Geng was treated in this hospital.
"Why don't my legs feel it anymore, is it not okay?" Chen Geng said while touching his leg.
"Don't move!" Fu Lianhui sat on the edge of the narrow and hard bed for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Amputation! ”
"Amputation?" Chen Lian was shocked, covered his knees and shouted, "No! Without legs, how can I lead soldiers to fight? ”
"Why are you comrade so stubborn, what matters now is to save your life!" Dr. Fu was a little angry.
"No! You know what no legs mean for soldiers, you know? ”
Dr. Fu looked into Chen Geng's firm and longing eyes, and knew in his heart that no amount of anything could change the young officer's will, and at the same time he was also touched by this revolutionary passion. As a result, no amputation was taken. After Dr. Fu's meticulous treatment and care, the foot was finally saved.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Chen Geng soon left Tingzhou with his troops and entered the Dongjiang River with his wounded leg, which had not healed. On September 24, the rebel army reached Shantou. Accompanied by his adjutant Lu Dongsheng, Chen Geng was admitted to the Bo'ai Hospital in the city. This hospital is run by Japanese people and has a very unfriendly attitude.
On September 30, the Battle of Tangkeng was lost, and the rebel army withdrew from Shantou. In the midst of the chaos, Zhou Enlai still remembered Chen Geng and sent people to send them money to relay the news of the withdrawal of the troops. Due to the urgency of the situation at that time, it was impossible to contact Chen Geng and Lu Dongsheng. Early the next morning, Lu Dongsheng went to the headquarters to inquire about the news, and as soon as he left the hospital gate, he found that the Kuomintang troops had entered the city. Lu Dongsheng knew that it was not good, so he quickly folded it back. Chen Geng was very surprised to see him hurried in, and asked busily, "What happened?" ”
"Oops! The streets were full of Kuomintang troops. Lu Dongsheng talked to Chen Geng about what he saw on the street.
At this time, the Japanese doctor appeared at the door, and a triumphant smile appeared on his mouth: "Why don't you run?" Is it waiting to be caught alive? ”
"Ahem!" Chen Geng sneered and replied, "When it's time to go, we will naturally go." At this time there was a rapid sound of gunfire outside, interspersed with the explosion of several grenades from time to time.
"You have to evacuate quickly, it will be too late!" Lu Dongsheng was very anxious.
Chen Geng said: "No, if you want to leave, you have to wait until dark." ”
With the help of a nurse, Mr. Lo hid Chen Geng in a worker's room, escaped enemy manoeuvre, and took a Swire ship to Hong Kong that night.
Because there were many scattered rebel soldiers on the steamship, it attracted the attention of the Hong Kong authorities. As soon as the ship docked, someone shouted, "Run, the patrol has come up to search!" Lu Dongsheng was in a hurry, found a chair, and asked someone to pat Chen Geng out of the dock with the crowd. Lu Dongsheng was exhausted and breathless, and was just about to rest on the side of the road, when a big-nosed patrol came over and interrogated: "How did your leg hurt?" ”
"Stray bullets were fired while fleeing chaozhou." Chen Geng replied calmly.
"What are you doing in Teochew?"
"The Telegraph Office does things."
"Telegraph Office?" Perhaps this patrol had been in Chaozhou and wanted to examine Chen Geng, "Where is the telegraph office?" ”
The reason why Chen Geng said that it was the telegraph office was because on September 23, the headquarters of the Third Division was located in the telegraph office, and Chen Geng lived in the HangulGongmiao Primary School next door. Chen Geng replied, "Next door to the HangulGong Temple." "There was no flaw in the patrol, so I had to let it go." Walking on the streets of Hong Kong, I don't know anyone. Or Chen Geng was familiar with the urban environment, saying that he would first go to the hospital to register a number and see the disease. When I came to the hospital, the doctor examined it as a gunshot wound and refused to accept it. Chen Geng was furious and shouted at the doctor, "Even more stubborn than the land lord, when we drive away the warlord, your brains will be enlightened!" Chen Geng and Lu Dongsheng were cornered, ran into walls on all sides, and came to a kitchen to hide for a while.
"What to do?" Lu Dongsheng asked confusedly.
"Yeah, can't always stay here. The only way is to leave Hong Kong and go to Shanghai to find the Party Central Committee. If only there were a boat to Shanghai now! Chen Geng said to himself.
"Yes!" Lu Dongsheng jumped up with joy, "Just now I heard that there is a boat going to Shanghai. ”
Chen Geng stood up hard against the wall and said to Lu Dongsheng, "I still have 20 oceans here, plus the money on your body, hurry up and buy a ticket to Shanghai." ”
Lu Dongsheng endured hunger and ran back and forth, and it was difficult to buy two station tickets. Since the cabin was full, in the cargo hold, I found a vacant seat to sit down.
I don't know how long later, the ship arrived at Shantou Port. Chen Geng was about to ask Lu Dongsheng to go out to inquire into the truth, when suddenly, a thin black figure jumped into the cargo compartment, looked east and west, and saw nothing suspicious, so he picked up a rotten mat, laid a bunk at Chen Geng's feet, and fell asleep. Chen Geng pretended to read the newspaper, twisted his face, looked at it through the dim glimmer, and almost laughed? This person was none other than Zhou Yiqun, commander of the Third Division. Chen Geng was happy in his heart, and he wanted to make a joke, so he covered his face with the newspaper and read it aloud, almost word by word: "The news in this newspaper is really well-informed, Zhou Yiqun has not yet boarded the ship, the newspaper has been published." ”
Zhou Yiqun was stunned and immediately became vigilant. Listening to it, he laughed and said, "It's you the ghost!" ”
In this way, Zhou Yiqun, Chen Geng and Lu Dongsheng met unexpectedly on the ship and arrived in Shanghai together. Soon, the Party Central Committee organ was successfully found. #历史回眸 #
