Why did Chen Shuxiang, the teacher, heartbroken during the Xiangjiang Campaign?

1934 10, in the tragic Xiangjiang Campaign, the 34th Division of the Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants acted as a defender to cover the main force of the Central Red Army to break through the Xiangjiang River. The Red 34th Division fought bravely in the face of enemies dozens of times its own. More than 6,000 people in the whole division were almost wiped out, and the remnants broke through the encirclement and persisted in fighting. In February 65438, Chen Shuxiang, the commander of the 34th Division, was unfortunately captured. Unwilling to be humiliated, he broke his intestines and wrote his loyalty in an extremely heroic way.

After many days of marching, the troops came to the ground in Guizhou, with Liping in front. During the noon break, Zhou Enlai sat on a big stone by the roadside and tried to squint for a while. The security guard came over and said, "According to the report from the troops behind, two guys have been following us for several days, and we caught them today." But they said they had to see you because it was urgent. "

"You bring them here." Zhou Enlai said.

The security captain brought two men from the back of the team. Dressed as a businessman, the man in front wore a silk cotton gown and a silver-gray coat with a pleasant face. The man behind is black and thin, wearing a black cotton-padded jacket and trousers, like a servant, but from those bright eyes, he doesn't look like a big man. The security guard pointed to Zhou Enlai and said to the two men, "This is our person in charge. Please say what you have to say! "

The man dressed as a businessman said excitedly, "Great, I finally found you!" "

With that, he lifted the big skirt of cotton gown, opened a crack, took out a piece of paper and handed it respectfully. Zhou Enlai took it, his face lit up, and he held the man's hand tightly: "Oh, it's you, it's really hard for you!"

"Nothing, it's all what we should do." The man smiled happily, then pointed to another man and said, "This is Comrade Gao Chunlin, the company commander of the 34th Division. We in quanzhou county were very sad to hear Comrade Gao talk about the situation of the 34th Division. Everyone thought that the Central Committee should be informed of these situations as soon as possible, so Comrade Gao was escorted here. We rode both cars and horses on the road, which caught up with you. "

Zhou Enlai was overjoyed when he heard that the man wearing a black cotton-padded jacket was a 34th Division. I haven't heard from them since I sent them the last telegram in Youzhaping. Zhou Enlai is always on his mind. He has been telling the radio station not to forget to contact the 34th Division, but he has never heard from him. When I saw Gao Chunlin today, I almost hugged him. A volley hit him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, are you from the 34th Division? How about now? "

Gao Chunlin sobbed with excitement and couldn't say a word.

"Alas, alas, don't do that! Don't do this! Tell me about the situation. How many people are there in your division now? "

"It's just ... I'm the only one left ..." He cried.

"Why? Are you alone? "

"yes." Gao Chunlin said, "Our whole division has five or six thousand people. After several days, two or three thousand people were killed or injured. But we can't return it! Teacher Chen told us that in order to cover the Party Central Committee, we must resist even if we die. When the central column crossed the river, we were surrounded and could not withdraw. "

"Didn't I let you break through?"

"Yes, we received a telegram from the CMC and began to break through; But the enemy troops were too thick and failed several times. For the last time, Mr. Chen asked us to go into battle completely lightly and destroyed all the documents. No matter cadres or soldiers, everyone has a rifle and a bayonet. He took a rifle himself, mounted a bayonet, and personally led us ahead, and that's it. But only killed more than two hundred people, the rest were beaten back by the enemy, and the political commissar of the division was also sacrificed ... "

"Where did you go after you came out?"

"According to the instructions of the Central Military Commission, we launched guerrilla warfare in the southeastern mountainous areas of Xing 'an. But the enemy followed suit. This place is full of Yao people, and we don't know words, so we can't work. If we can't solve the food problem, we are trapped in the mountains. At this time, Mr. Chen said to us: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu had only a few hundred people in southern Hunan and southern Jiangxi, and then he stopped moving. We should learn from him. There is no food. Is there no grass on this mountain? We just eat grass. We really ate weeds in the mountains for three days. ......"

"What happened later?"

"Later, I really couldn't go on. Teacher Chen asked us to have a meeting to discuss it. Everyone thought it was better to go to the Han area, so they decided to break through and move forward to Dao County. We still have five heavy machine guns at this time. Because there were not many bullets, Mr. Chen asked us to bury two in the mountain. The machine gun shooter was reluctant to leave and cried once in the mountains. " We fought two more battles this time, and by the time we got to Daoxian, there were already 80 or 90 people left. "

"Why do you want to go to Dao County?"

"This is our route, actually familiar with some. If there is really no way, we will go back to Jiangxi and the old Soviet area. Shortly after we arrived in the mountainous area of Daoxian County, a primary school teacher came that day. It turned out that the county party Committee contacted us. We are all very happy and think there is hope; Who knows that the enemy surrounded us again, and thousands of people came. What a terrible day! While fighting, we retreated eastward. There are still fifty or sixty people at noon, and there are only a dozen people left in the afternoon. Heavy machine guns can't move, so Mr. Chen let us destroy two, and finally left one ... "

"What about the radio station?"

"The radio station would have been smashed ... until dusk, only the teacher Chen Shuxiang, his guards and correspondents, and I * * * were left. When the enemy saw that there were only a few of us left, they became crazy and roared to take us alive. At this time, Mr. Chen scolded the enemy:' White dog, you are not afraid of death, come on!' He rolled up his sleeves and fought with that heavy machine gun. In an instant, the charged enemy was knocked down. The enemy will roar and dare not rush. Unexpectedly, at this time, Mr. Chen was seriously injured in the abdomen, and his intestines flowed out. Even the legs of the heavy machine gun were soaked with blood ... "

Gao Chunlin's voice trembled with excitement. After a pause, he continued: "We didn't see it well, so we rushed to dress him up and watched the enemy rush in again. He gave me a push, stared at me and said,' Fight!' On the one hand, he calmly stuffed his intestines in. I shot down the enemy with a machine gun. The guard wrapped the teacher up, and the teacher looked at us and said,' I have a request. Can you promise me? We all said in tears,' Sir, just say what you want!' He smiled and pointed to his head and said,' Will you give me an injection quickly? You know, if the white dog takes me alive, it will get a lot of money, but if it dies, it will be less valuable. "We cried and said,' Teacher, let's die together. We really can't implement the method you mentioned. He looked at us with a very dissatisfied look and reprimanded us:' Is this your love for comrades?' Said, trying to pull out the guard's spear, the guard ran to one side crying. It was getting dark, and the teacher called us to him and said,' This is the situation now. I can't go out. You should go out in the dark, leaving a seed for the revolution. You just leave me a bullet. It doesn't matter if he doesn't say this. Before he finished, his guards and correspondents began to cry, which made me feel terrible. At this time, the teacher took my hand and said,' Gao Lianchang, you are a few years older than them and more sensible than them. I died today. This is just a small matter. It's nothing. Unfortunately, the task entrusted to us by the central authorities has not been completed. Besides, our 34th Division was completely annihilated today, and there was not even a reporter. This is pathetic. "He said, holding my hand tightly, looked at me and said,' Comrade Gao Chunlin, can you take a message to the Central Committee? Can you accept the task I gave you at last? I think his opinion is right, otherwise, what will the whole army say to our 34th Division! I must catch up with the troops and report to the Central Committee that our whole division shot the last man and no one surrendered to the enemy! "

Zhou Enlai's big eyes were filled with bright tears. He asked softly, "What about Chen Shuxiang? What's wrong with him? "

"I took advantage of the night to break through, I heard that the three of them were captured the next day. The enemy carried Mr. Chen on a stretcher and wanted to go back to the city to make contributions. How can a man like Chen Shuxiang stand such humiliation! He had no other way to die on a stretcher. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he quietly unbuttoned his clothes, pulled off the bandage wrapped by the guard, put his hand into the wound, took out his intestines, and tore and bit them off with all his strength. When the enemy found out, he opened his eyes and scolded,' White dog, I'll let you get the reward!' As she spoke, she smiled and quickly closed her eyes ... "

Zhou Enlai has always had a strong restraint, but this time he couldn't restrain himself and shed a lot of tears.

The man in the silver-gray coat added, "We have all heard of Comrade Chen Shuxiang in the whole state. These are all from the stretcher bearers. People also say that * * * has such a person, how can it be unsuccessful! " The news about Chen Shuxiang was also published in the newspaper. I also brought two newspapers when I came. "

As he spoke, he took out two Changsha editions of Ta Kung Pao, which Zhou Enlai took over and looked at. Among them, there is an article entitled "Living outside Xiaowumen in this city before and after death": Chen Shuxiang, a pseudo-teacher, was killed by our army in Dao County, which has been reported before. Chen Shuxiang, formerly known as Shu Chun, originally from Changsha, lives in Chenzhai, Wawu Street outside Xiaowumen. He is twenty-nine years old. My mother now is and my wife's name is Chen. She is 30 years old, childless and of military background. She used to be the rebel of the independent seventh division, and she became a teacher this year. Starting from Xingguo, Jiangxi, this time, there were more than 4,000 rifles and more than 40 light and heavy machine guns in the whole division, which were then used as cover forces. Because he was cut off by the national army to cover crossing the river, he fled back and led 111 regiments, leaving only five heavy machine guns and three rifles. After being defeated in Ba Du yesterday, there is only one heavy machine gun and three rifles left. Because the teacher was seriously injured, he arrived at Shima Township at 8 am and died.

The title of the other one is "Chen Shuxiang's First-class Solution to Save the Province". When Zhou Enlai saw this, he was shocked and stopped looking at the topic for several seconds. Then, I looked down, my eyes were a little blurred, and the sentence was beating intermittently: chasing the headquarters ... hiding the head of Chen Shuxiang, the teacher of the pseudo-34th division ... hanging on the stone pillar at the intersection of Zhongshan Road outside Xiaowumen for public display. Next to it was a notice cloud: For the purpose of the notice, according to Hunan Security Command, Chen Shuxiang, a teacher of the Puppet 34th Division, was captured ... He set out from Xingguo, Jiangxi Province and was defeated by the national army ... After being sent to Shimaqiao, he was seriously injured and died ... He was presented to Hengyang Headquarters for taking pictures of Chen Shuxiang's body, and the bandit's head was cut off and transferred to the instruction nuclear office. .........

There is also a picture below, which is a picture of Chen Shuxiang's body. Zhou Enlai see here, black eyes, can't see at all. He handed the newspaper to the guard, turned from grief to resentment, and muttered, "We'll see, we won't take advantage of them!" " "

He was silent for a while, trying to calm himself down, then looked up and said to the comrades appointed by quanzhou county, "I am very grateful to you. Is there any difficulty in going back? "

"There is no difficulty. I have a toll on me. " The man in the silver-gray coat said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Enlai looked at Gao Chunlin and asked.

Gao Chunlin said firmly, "Now that I'm here, I want to continue working."

"Good," said Zhou Enlai, holding his hand, "then you will live in the headquarters and wait for the distribution. Guizhou is ahead, I believe we can open up a new situation! "

The departure number sounded, and its tone was still so melodious and loud. Especially in this quiet ravine, even after the horn stops, there is still a persistent echo, as if all the valleys in Qian Shan are interested in responding. This team, full of hardships and heavy burdens, is moving forward again. ......
