Wake up（204）

 

204

 

On the train journey to Hong Kong, Zhou Jianguo and Pan Guangfu continued to chat about "Memories of Stopping Martial Fighting in Anhui" written by Liu Jiaju. That night, Li Desheng returned to Hefei in a hurry, and the seven-member team stayed to clean up the mess. Liu Jiaju is one of the members of the 7-member team.

That night, Song Peizhang made a division of labor for the 7-member team. Director Xu of the Political Department brought Assistant Li to the G faction, and Director Han of the headquarters brought Liu Jiaju to the P faction. Prepare for public opinion.

At this time, P sent the combat headquarters on the top floor of the department store. Liu Jiaju followed Chief Han to bring his own luggage and lived next door to them. Lao Han was inseparable from Chief Du for almost 24 hours. Three problems solved:

 

1. Autopsy.

There are dead bodies in the Municipal People's Hospital. The forensic doctor is afraid of faction and asks Liu Jiaju to deal with it. The corpse was placed in the basement of the hospital. On a hot day, there was no refrigeration equipment, and the ground was poured with well water to cool down. Although the room was large, three corpses were placed in one room, and a smell of rotting corpses hit me, making me retch for a while. Liu Jiaju asked the hospital staff for a bottle of wine, sprinkled it on a towel, covered his nose and mouth, and lifted the white cover of a corpse. The deceased was a young man. The morgue worker said he was from the Yueshan Geological Exploration Team. . Liu Jiaju touched the abdomen of the corpse with his fingers, and a slight touch made a hole. The corpse was pierced by bullets in two places, one in the head and one in the chest, and the smell of decay was suffocating. Liu Jiaju had to leave after seeing an autopsy. The three autopsies took more than half an hour. The doctor brought the registration form of the deceased, who was anonymous, and there were a few photos, all of which were the parts pierced by the bullet. Liu Jiaju immediately signed the cremation and the ashes were kept.

They have shed the last drop of blood for the Cultural Revolution, who will pay homage to them in the future? Who else will remember their "feat of dedication"?

 

2. Repatriation of prisoners of war.

The P faction locked the captured G faction in an elementary school. Song Peizhang asked Liu Jiaju to find the leaders of the two factions, and the two sides negotiated an unconditional exchange of captured personnel. Liu Jiaju's task is to take the captives of the P faction out of the city and exchange them for the G faction captives.

Liu Jiaju came to an elementary school that had been suspended for a prisoner of war camp. He saw captured men and women locked in more than a dozen classrooms. Some were sitting against the wall, some were lying on desks, moaning uncontrollably with wounds and pain. Liu Jiaju found the person in charge of the prisoner-of-war camp who looked like a student. He gave a stack of paper lists, and Liu Jiaju counted them, 243 people. Liu Jiaju inspected the captives. More than 20 people suffered gunshot wounds to their legs and feet. The most serious ones were fractured bones. Some femurs exposed bloody leg muscles. Liu Jiaju asked the person in charge to send someone to take the seriously wounded to the hospital immediately, but he refused to do so, so Liu Jiaju had to call a platoon from the 103rd Regiment, make a stretcher, and carry more than 20 wounded people to the Municipal People's Hospital. The remaining two hundred people, led by Liu Jiaju, carried a red cross flag, walked three kilometers out of the city, and came to a brick and tile factory. This is the exchange place set up by the G faction. . Liu Jiaju counted the number of people, and there were 95 people. Those who were seriously injured were carried, carried, and supported by those who were not injured to return to the city.

As soon as we entered the urban area, gongs, drums and firecrackers sounded all at once, and slogans welcoming the crowd resounded through the streets and alleys. Several leaders of the P faction stood on the steps and delivered condolences to the captives, full of slogans such as "pay back blood" and "fight to the end". The prisoners were moved to tears and shouted slogans in response.

Liu Jiaju did not expect that the leaders would use this to make a big fuss to provoke factions and ignite the flames of hatred. Liu Jiaju immediately jumped up the steps and persuaded everyone loudly: "Please calm down, comrades in the rebel faction, and bring you back. It’s not about letting you continue to fight gun to gun, it’s for peace, stop worrying about the past, and work together to achieve a great alliance, a three-in-one combination... Whoever dares to touch a hair on your body, our People’s Liberation Army will fight with you ..."

Liu Jiaju's words were still effective, everyone listened with bated breath, no one stood up to refute. Many relatives and comrades-in-arms on the street surrounded him to appease him. Liu Jiaju is also gratified that he has completed a glorious mission.

 

3. Bring back Commander Xia.

Liu Jiaju recalled: The commander of the Anqing Army Division was an old Red Army man in his 50s with gray hair. The rebels called him Xia Baimao. He supported the G faction and overthrew Section Chief Du. Before we came, the head of the P faction organized a small unit to attack the military division at night, tied Xia Ling's rope and pulled it over the wall, and locked him upstairs in a warehouse. Song Peizhang has informed P to send people to release, and asked Liu Jiaju to pick up Commander Xia.

Cheng Weidong is a student of Anqing No. 1 Middle School, the No. 1 servant sent by the local P. He led Liu Jiaju to the Tibetan warehouse. On the way, Liu Jiaju asked Cheng Weidong: "How old are you this year?"

Cheng Weidong replied: "18 years old."

"You have become the top leader in Anqing at such a young age. Besides fighting, you also have to take care of the city's economy, administration, and public security, right?"

"I don't have such a great ability. It's all managed by Chief Du. During the meeting, I just make a statement, and they draft the speech."

"Then you are no longer a puppet?"

"You can't say that. Chief Du is training me to take power."

Liu Jiaju asked again: "Commander Xia is an old Red Army soldier, why did you arrest him and lock him up?"

Cheng Weidong said: "He opposed the rebellion and suppressed Section Chief Du."

Cheng Weidong is simple-minded and has the energy to rush and kill. If power is redistributed, the struggle will be far more intense than the battlefield, and no one will lift him up again.

Upstairs, a hut is guarded by two rebels. Liu Jiaju followed Cheng Weidong into the door, Commander Xia knelt down when he saw Liu Jiaju, and Liu Jiaju quickly helped him up. The old man had gray hair, disheveled clothes, and spoke incoherently. He cried and said, "I'm sorry for Chairman Mao. I deserve death..."

Seeing that he was confused, Liu Jiaju persuaded him for a while, helped him downstairs, and handed him over to a cadre from the military division to pick him up, and told him, "When Commander Xia returns, don't go to work and rest at home."

Cheng Weidong seemed to feel pity, and added: "Send him to the 116 Hospital (garrison hospital) for a physical examination, and stay there for a few more days."

Commander Xia sent me off, and Cheng Weidong said to me as if prepared: "Do you want to see our war supplies?"

Liu Jiaju said, "What supplies do you have for war?"

He lifted a piece of wooden floor under his feet: "Take a look."

Liu Jiaju leaned over to take a look, and was quite surprised: the basement of hundreds of square meters was full of rice noodles! Liu Jiaju asked: "How many?"

Cheng Weidong said: "It's 150,000 catties!"

"Where did you get them?"

"Grain Bureau warehouse."

"Whose idea?"

"Chief Du, when he fought guerrillas in the Dabie Mountains, that's how he stored food for war."
