Since his quarrel with Li Yunlong, Ma Tiansheng has strengthened his ties with Beijing. In fact, with his status, he was not qualified to contact the Central Cultural Revolution Group directly. There are so many things that those hot big men need to consider, how can they take an ordinary military cadre seriously? Ma Tiansheng still has this self-knowledge. On the other end of his hotline is a new chief of the military's political department. This is his old superior. He has been promoting and reusing Ma Tiansheng for many years. The prime minister at the time was inextricably linked to the Central Cultural Revolution Group, and his status was at its peak.

Ma Tiansheng reported the progress of the city's movement to the old chief, especially Li Yunlong's problem. He believes that the biggest obstacle to the "Cultural Revolution" movement in this city comes from Li Yunlong. Relying on his seniority and some military exploits, he has always adopted the means of obedience to the strategic deployment of the Central Cultural Revolution Group. There are still some people in the party and army. The market represents a considerable number of senior cadres who have always held resistance to the "Cultural Revolution".

The chief at the other end of the hotline seemed very interested in hearing Ma Tiansheng's report, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I've heard of Li Yunlong. I remember that he belonged to the 129th Division during the Anti-Japanese War. You have his information. Who is he? Which hilltop? Let me tell you, the central government is now fighting fiercely, and the outcome has not yet been decided. You must pay special attention to this point. Although the party has shouted against the hilltopism for decades, the hilltop It does exist, that's a fact.

Decades of armed struggle, can there be no mountains? From 1927 to 1929, the party launched hundreds . The first, second, and fourth front armies of the Red Army period plus the Red 25th Army and the Red 26th Army, the 115th, 120th, and 129th divisions and the New Fourth Army during the Anti-Japanese War, the Shanxi Death Squad, the Dongjiang Column in Guangdong, and the Qiongya Column in Hainan Island. Which of the four major field armies during the war was not a mountain top? It is very important to find out which hilltop Li Yunlong belongs to. Inner-Party struggles have always been like this. Personnel and organizational relationships are deeply intertwined. "Ma Tiansheng admired the rich struggle experience of the old chief. That kind of political struggle experience of judging the situation and judging the situation cannot be obtained without decades of training. Ma Tiansheng felt that he was far behind.

Li Yunlong's resume is clearly there. After careful study, Ma Tiansheng found that Li Yunlong's situation is quite special. He doesn't count on any mountain, and he is inextricably related to any mountain. Before the Long March, he belonged to the Fourth Front Army. After the First and Fourth Front Armies joined forces, Zhang Guozhu turned against the Central Red Army and led the Fourth Front Army to turn around and cross the grassland. It happened that Li Yunlong’s regiment did not receive the order because the messenger accidentally got stuck in the swamp on the way. drowned.

When Li Yunlong woke up and found that the Fourth Front Army had left, he wondered for a long time. How did he know about the struggles among the high-level party members? It happened that his team was stationed very close to Lin Biao's First Army, so Li Yunlong took the initiative to approach him and asked to be incorporated into the First Army. Naturally, Lin Biao had no reason to refuse this white-chosen main force. Therefore, this inner-party struggle made Li Yunlong a subordinate of Lin Biao by accident. After the Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, Zhang Guotao left the Communist Party in 1938. All the cadres from the Fourth Front Army were punished to varying degrees, but Li Yunlong was fine.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army had only more than 30,000 people on the roster of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and only 30,000 people were issued with food and ammunition, while the actual number of the Eighth Route Army had reached 80,000. As a result, several independent groups were established, and Li Yunlong's independent group became a "black household" that the Nationalist government did not recognize. First it was assigned to Liu Bochengmo of the 129th Division, and then to Chen Geng of the 386th Brigade. In the end, he simply created a piece of land in Northwest Shanxi and became a solo household. At the beginning of the War of Liberation, Li Yunlong's regiment was the main force of Liu Deng's Central Plains Field Army. It participated in the breakout of the Central Plains and leaped thousands of miles into the Dabie Mountains. Before the Battle of Huaihai, Li Yunlong's department cooperated with Huaye to fight for aid, but they were not allowed to return to the construction after completing the mission. General Su Yu and Liu Bocheng made some kind of deal, and Li Yunlong's department was confusedly incorporated into Huaye's eleventh column. At the beginning of 1949, the whole army was reorganized, and Li Yunlong's department was subordinate to the Sanye A Corps. In this way, which mountain does Li Yunlong belong to?

Marshals and generals such as Lin Biao, Liu Bocheng, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Su Yu, and Chen Kang have all served as his superiors. Even the 1st Field Army, which is out of reach, has a relationship with him, because he was an old soldier in the 129th Division of the 386th Division during the Anti-Japanese War. Part of the brigade participated in a series of battles to defend Yan'an during the War of Liberation, and later became a main division of Yiye. A main regiment of this division was formerly the first battalion of Li Yunlong's independent regiment. In this way, Li Yunlong can have some relationship with the four major field armies.

The experience of political struggle told Ma Tiansheng that it is not difficult to overthrow a marshal or a general, because their status is too high and they are too close to the political vortex, and they are doomed to escape if there is a disturbance. However, generals like Li Yunlong are different. Due to his complicated experience, his relationship in the army is intricate. His old comrades in different periods constitute the backbone of this army. The commander of the military region, although the official position is not very big, but they are all powerful figures who hold military power. They are far away from the political struggle among the high-level. The instability of the army.

Ma Tiansheng believes that the conflict between him and Li Yunlong is not due to personal grievances, but mainly because of the different political views between the two. The "Cultural Revolution" was launched and commanded by Chairman Mao himself. Its purpose was to prevent revisionism from usurping the leadership of the party and the country, so that the leadership would be in the hands of the proletariat, so that the red country would never change color. This is a matter of right and wrong. Other than that, everything else is trivial. However, Li Yunlong's performance aroused Ma Tiansheng's political vigilance. He intuitively felt that Li Yunlong had deep prejudices and aversion to the "Cultural Revolution" mass movement, and he seemed to be deliberately opposed Dry. Although this person is not well-educated, he has a very deep city, and he likes to do practical things and doesn't like to talk too much. Ma Tiansheng thought, what practical things has he done? From the analysis of his personality, he is not a person willing to be lonely. If the city becomes like this, will he turn a blind eye?

Du Changhai's death was very strange, Ma Tiansheng was not a fool, he did not believe that the mysterious killer came from the "Jinggangshan Corps". The job was done cleanly and extremely professionally. Ma Tiansheng naturally thought of the mysterious and unpredictable special unit. If there is conclusive evidence that Du Changhai's death is related to this special unit, there will be something to write about.

After listening to Ma Tiansheng's report, the chief at the other end of the hotline remained uncharacteristically silent. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, the chief said: "It seems that it is beneficial to investigate. Know your enemy and yourself. This Li Yunlong said It is not a mountain, and it is connected to any mountain. This is not a person who can be easily moved. He does not rush to other things. He has done this in the First Legion. He has a protective umbrella on his head. Mr. Lin's boss Subordinate, who can touch it?

Unless you can come up with excellent materials to prove that he was against the 'Cultural Revolution' movement. You have to pay close attention, with the character of this man, sooner or later he will do something. "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop." Well, you should know that whoever wants to fight the "Cultural Revolution" movement, no matter how old his qualifications are and how much credit he has made, will not end well. "Ma Tiansheng hung up the phone silently, thinking to himself, whoever laughs last laughs the best.

In February 1967, several vice-chairmen of the Central Military Commission, marshals, and several senior leaders of the Politburo, in order to maintain the stability of the army, expressed their dissatisfaction with the "Cultural Revolution" movement, and made a big fuss in Huairen Hall. , causing a catastrophe, known as "February Countercurrent". This incident angered Mao Zedong. He summoned several members of the Politburo to his study. He said with a gloomy face and a stern tone: "After all, it doesn't depend on people's will. After all, some people jumped out and openly opposed the 'Cultural Revolution'." ..." Mao Zedong said emotionally again: "What will happen? Take Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan to shoot, hang Jiang Qing, and Lin Biao and I will go to Jinggangshan to fight guerrillas again!

Leave Beijing to them? "Mao Zedong, who was at the peak of power, was furious. Even if you are a marshal with many battles and outstanding achievements, your voice will be chilled, and you will disappear from the political arena immediately. In the vast land, the political storm rises again, Counterattack the "February Countercurrent" and counterattack Liu Deng's line with guns. These slogans have become the main theme in China at this time. The army is being attacked everywhere in the country, and all the eight major military regions have been attacked. 100% of the military leaders at all levels were fought, causing military communications to be interrupted, command out of control, and almost all of the three major headquarters in Beijing and the headquarters of various armies and arms paralyzed.

During this period of time, Li Yunlong received consecutive calls from old comrades working in various headquarters in Beijing, and they all advised Li Yunlong to be prepared to deal with bigger troubles. As for why it became like this, no one can say for sure, but the general feeling is that the Kuomintang is fighting back again. Anyway, the older the cadres with the more credit, the more unlucky they will be. Out of good intentions, the old guys all said to Li Yunlong, you are too bad-tempered, you will suffer if you stick to it, if you can handle some things, you can deal with them, if you can't handle them, just find a place to hide. Li Yunlong said: "Bullshit, it's not allowed to hideeasy? The cabbage cellar of any old comrade's house can give me a space, but I haven't done anything harmful, so why should I hide like a mouse? Isn't that a deserter? What about my troops? Fortunately, you can figure it out, whether I can change my name or not, let's see what they can do to me. "Let's talk, scold, scold, Li Yunlong can also see that the situation is getting more and more tense. Several factions of rebel organizations in this city have hated him to the bone. According to Secretary Zheng's report, there are 80 big-character posters on the street. % all came for him, and he was given a lot of titles. "Great warlord", "A careerist hidden in the army", "Liu and Deng's agent in our city", "Hang Li Yunlong", " Deep-fried Li Yunlong", and "Down with the traitor Li Yunlong", which made Li Yunlong dumbfounded. Damn, I have never been captured before. Where can I go to rebel?

Once things get too nasty, someone has to come out and end it. Li Yunlong finally received a written notice from the Central Military Commission. This notice has eight items, referred to as "Eight Articles of the Military Commission". Li Yunlong excitedly said to Secretary Zheng: "This is great. The Military Commission has clear instructions. You see: against those counter-revolutionary organizations and counter-revolutionaries with solid evidence, resolutely take dictatorship measures. Regarding the issue of attacking the military leadership... If It was the counter-revolutionary attack, and we must be held accountable... From now on, no attack will be allowed. Xiao Zheng, you see, Chairman Mao’s instructions above: confirm the eight items, very good, and send them as they are. Now it’s all right, with the chairman’s Shangfang sword, whoever makes trouble again , and follow the Eight Rules of the Military Commission.” Secretary Zheng adjusted his glasses and said doubtfully: “No. 1, the essentials of these eight rules are too vague, for example: If it is a counter-revolutionary attack, you must be investigated. Who is a counter-revolutionary? How to judge? We have judges Right? To be honest, the real counter-revolutionaries don’t even have time to hide, and they still have the guts to attack military institutions? On the other hand, isn’t it possible for counter-revolutionaries to attack military institutions?

Also, what does 'to be held accountable' mean? Don't stop it yet, let him attack? Investigate after the rush, and investigate if it is a counter-revolutionary? How to pursue it? Is it prosecuted by force? Or a verbal denunciation? Also, 'no shocks are allowed in the future'. Saying this is tantamount to not saying it. Who doesn't know that military agencies are not allowed to attack? The key is what to do if someone insists on attacking? Can you shoot in self-defense? Can troops be dispatched to fight back? Nobody told you. No. 1, with all due respect, we must really follow these eight rules, and if we fail, we will fall into a trap set by someone. Please think again. "Li Yunlong thought about it, and felt that Zheng Bo's words made sense, so he smiled wryly, but didn't say anything.

Secretary Zheng made a good estimate. The "Eight Points of the Military Commission" did not stop the frenzy of attacking military institutions, but intensified it. I didn't see any army to "hold it up", because the document stipulated that only counter-revolutionaries could be "taken into action". Who can say that those mass organizations that responded to Chairman Mao's call to rebel are counter-revolutionaries?

The special team has been withdrawn to the barracks by Li Yunlong. Under the command of Duan Peng and Lin Han, the team members organize the vegetable garden every day except for training. With the withdrawal of the special forces, Li Yunlong lost his source of intelligence. What actions are these lawless rebels planning? Fight, where do you plan to attack first? Li Yunlong didn't know anything about it. Even so, he didn't plan to use the special unit anymore. He didn't want someone to use this as an excuse to destroy this elite unit in the future.

It is painful for a general who lost his source of information. His eyes were blackened and he became blind and deaf. Facing the scheming opponent at a loss, he could only curl up passively, waiting for the opponent to attack him at the most deadly place. Li Yunlong felt A pain like never before.

Zou Ming, No. 1 servant of the "Jinggangshan Corps", has been very excited recently. The accidental death of his arch-enemy Du Changhai brought the "Red Revolutionary Union" into a slump, and the fight for leadership within the organization was a mess, and it was already in a state of division.

It seems that the day when the "Red Leather Federation" will be wiped out in one fell swoop is not far away. What excited him most was that the liaison officer he sent to Beijing was received by the heads of the Central Cultural Revolution Group in Beijing, and the heads fully affirmed the "Jinggangshan Corps"

Its revolutionary nature is a revolutionary leftist organization, and its general direction is correct. Although this organization has shortcomings and mistakes in one way or another during the revolution, these are all non-mainstream things. Generally speaking, this organization is revolutionary.

When Zou Ming and his comrades heard this exciting news, they couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in their hearts, and turned to tears, just like a long-lost child meeting his mother. Everyone burst into tears, crying, laughing, and jumping. Hugging and embracing, shouting slogans such as Long live Chairman Mao and the "Cultural Revolution" of the proletariat, I don't know who choked and sang that lyrical song with a sense of the times: Look up and see the Big Dipper , I miss Mao Zedong in my heart, I miss you for direction when I get lost, and I miss you for clarity in the dark night.

They are sincere, and no one doubts their sincerity. But fate likes to joke with people. At the same time, the soldiers of the "Red Revolutionary League" were also singing the same song with tears in their eyes and with incomparably sincere feelings...

Because the liaison officer of the "Red Revolutionary Federation" in Beijing also brought back the same exciting news, and the heads of the Central Cultural Revolution Group also used the same language to affirm the revolutionary nature of this organization... Do the heads of the Central Cultural Revolution Group favor the mean? road? The years and mud are dangerous.

Isn't it? The vast numbers of fighters organized by the two factions of "Jinggangshan" and "Red Revolutionary Union" solemnly declared to Chairman Mao's portrait that they would defend Chairman Mao's revolutionary line with their guns and vow to defend the victory of the proletarian "Cultural Revolution" to the death... …

Supplement: Right here; the introduction of Li Yunlong's history is a little inaccurate. When the Red Army split in the grassland, the 1st Army Corps had already advanced to the Russian border. In fact, only the 3rd Army Corps and the Central Committee were together with the 4th and 30th Armies of the Fourth Front Army. The troops of the Fourth Front Army reported to the headquarters after they discovered it in the early morning. Li Te once led his cavalry to chase, but was turned back. Moreover, the regiment-level units of the 1st and 4th Front Army were not mixed, so it is unlikely that Li Yunlong's regiment would join Lin Biao's First Army Corps at this time.

Moreover, the purge of the cadres of the 4th Front Army was after the failure of the West Route Army in 1937, and Zhang Guotao did not initiate the purge after he left, because Zhang Guotao’s influence among the cadres of the 4th Front Army had almost been lost through the previous liquidation activities at that time.

On the other hand, there are obvious mistakes in historical facts. The "Eight Articles of the Military Commission" was issued in the form of an order of the Military Commission on January 28, 1967, and the so-called "February Countercurrent" occurred in mid-February 1967. The author here reversed the order of the two times.
