Another person who experienced something similar to Ye Jianying and went to the August 1st Uprising was Liu Bocheng, a famous general of Sichuan Army.
Liu Bocheng's long military career began with the distribution school run by the Shu military government in Chongqing. There, he was an excellent soldier, not only with excellent academic and military skills, but also with good manners and ethics. He doesn't smoke or drink, doesn't care about gambling, and has no bad habits. He was called a bodhisattva by his classmates in the army.
He always took the lead in the Yuan War and the national self-defense army, and personally commanded the front line. When his department attacked the gate of Fengdu, he was shot twice in the head. One shot grazed the skull, and the other shot entered the right temple and was shot from the right eye. He fainted in a pool of blood. Several soldiers found his body, carried him to the post office in the city to rest, and asked the drugstore owner to apply some hemostatic herbs. When transferring troops without a stretcher, Liu Bocheng was stuffed into a laundry list, covered with a quilt, and bumped to the camp. At this time, he still endured severe pain and urged a memorial service for the fallen soldiers. Everyone shed tears when they saw him appear with a bandage on his head. After the army collapsed, Comrade Kang Yuncheng took great risks to protect Liu Bocheng, and later hid in a local farmer's house. The farmer was generous, giving him food and finding medicine. Kang Yuncheng has been standing beside Liu Bocheng, cleaning his wounds and changing his dressing. Two months later, Liu Bocheng gradually recovered. Later, they changed their names and surnames, disguised themselves and went to Chongqing for medical treatment. He was treated for brain injury in Kuanren Hospital, and then transferred to a private clinic opened by Germans in Linjiangmen for eye injury treatment. The doctors in the clinic are quite skilled in medicine, especially in surgery.
I have had two operations in this private clinic in Liu Bocheng.
Both operations were witnessed by Mr. Wang Erchang. He wrote this process in popular classical Chinese. His vivid writing makes people want to rewrite it. The following are:
The first operation was only to remove carrion and straighten out blood vessels, and the time was very short. A few days later, when Dr. A brought the general's artificial eye from Germany, the injured eye was reborn with carrion, which was particularly numerous and was a second operation. The second operation lasted nearly three hours because of the need to cooperate with the artificial eye. At that time, the general refused to administer anesthesia, saying, "Saving the country and the people has a long way to go. Will it cause damage to the nerves? " Doctors are famous doctors, arrogant and have the bad habit of militarism. Those who are not afraid of patients and cry out for pain are always beating and cursing. The first operation, the general sat tight, and Dr. A nodded and said yes! All right! The second operation took a long time, but the general's skin didn't jump and his face didn't change color. After getting dressed, Dr. A saw sweat dripping from the handle of the chair held by the general. He asked, does it hurt? The general smiled and said, "Some things cost more than 70 yuan, but it's a trivial matter!" " ! How did you know? Generally: every cut will recite a number, and it is correct. In the past, Hua Tuo gave Guan Yu general anesthesia and only applied a knife to his arms and ears. After two routine treatments, Yu Shi was around and witnessed his strong and resolute attitude, which surprised western doctors. Militarism is staggering, not more than Guan Yu 1000 times.
No wonder Dr. Walter, a former German military doctor who was covered with Prussian soldiers, gave a thumbs-up and praised others in a convincing tone: Liu is not only a standard soldier, but also a military god!
As a result, the nickname of the one-eyed army god spread like wildfire.
At the beginning of the war, Liu Bocheng was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the 9th Brigade. At first, his colleagues
1923 In autumn and winter, Liu Bocheng has been treating injuries in Chengdu. What bothers him is not only physical pain, but also anxiety about the future. After he retired due to injury, the war against thieves turned from victory to failure. First Chongqing fell, and then Chengdu was seriously threatened by the enemy. Liu Bocheng was saddened by the defeat of the bandit troops and the reversal of the situation in Sichuan, and had to seriously think about his future destination.
Just then, Wu appeared in front of him.
Wu, a member of the League, participated in the struggle to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in the Revolution of 1911 and was a famous person in Sichuan. At that time, Wu served as the president of Chengdu Normal University, founded the Sunday newspaper with Hui and others, advocated new culture, new ideas and Marxism, and got to know Liu Bocheng who pursued progress. Wu knows Liu Bocheng well and appreciates his military talents. He learned that Liu Bocheng was recovering from illness in Chengdu, and he would visit Liu Bocheng's residence almost every three to five times to introduce Marxist theory. Wu also brought a friend to Liu Bocheng, who had a profound influence on Liu Bocheng's life.
This is Yang Gong. Yang Gong, a native of Tongnan, Sichuan, studied in Japan in his early years. 1922 joined the China Socialist Youth League and engaged in Marxist propaganda activities. He pays great attention to finding excellent talents and plans to set up an organization. Yang Gong carefully observed Liu Bocheng and found that he was alert, clear-headed and ambitious. He is glad to have this friend.
If we say that at the end of 1923, Liu Bocheng is still in the stage of observation, thinking, comparison and choice, and it is even difficult to give up the old life; Then in the spring of 1924, after repeated research and in-depth thinking, he consciously and obviously began to approach communism.
At that time, the situation of thief war in Sichuan became more and more fierce, and Chengdu was in danger. Commander Xiong Kewu and others personally urged Liu Bocheng to go into battle with injuries and save the war. Former enemy commander-in-chief Lai Xinhui asked Wang Erchang to take a message, saying that he would ask Liu Bocheng to be a teacher. Liu Bocheng's face fell: Erchang, you and I have been together for so many years, don't you know my ambition? Yue Wumu:' Civil servants don't love money, military officers will die, and the world will be at peace! I have been in the army for several years and have been desperate for my life. My family is selfless, so when I meet the enemy, I can try my best to save the country and the people. Look at the world now, the country is not a country; Officials oppress soldiers, but the people do not oppress soldiers. I fought for more than ten years to save people from fire and water, not to gain fame and show off glory.
Wang erchang is still persuading: the commander-in-chief is sincere to you. Don't miss this opportunity.
Liu Bocheng is even more unhappy: those in power always only care about their own personal interests, which I can see at a glance. They refused to entrust them with important tasks when things were going well. Once the situation is critical, they hope to be seduced by their peers. As blind as a bat!
Wang Erchang often comes to persuade. Liu Bocheng was very depressed, so he hid in Zhang Zhongming's home in Wutongqiao, Qianwei County. In his spare time, he read many books about revolutionary theory. 1924 At the end of summer, after the First Army of Xiong Kewu was expelled from Sichuan, Liu Xiang, Yang Sen and others took control of the political power and persecuted progressives. Wu couldn't stand in Chengdu, so he had to move to Qianwei. He told Liu Bocheng that China was very active in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. Liu Bocheng really wants to enter that world.
In the late autumn of this year, Liu Bocheng and Wu Jingxiang arrived in Shanghai. At the beginning of the following year, he and Wu went to Beijing together. In late June, they came to Guangzhou together. Along the way, Liu Bocheng felt that something new happened every day: he saw the same anti-imperialist sentiment as a large-scale volcanic eruption; I see that * * * attracts promising young people like a magnet.
1926 In May, Liu Bocheng got his wish and officially became the party member of China.
After the Northern Expedition began, according to the idea of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the reality of Sichuan, Chongqing prefectural party committee suggested to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China that if Zhu De and Liu Bocheng helped Sichuan, they could form a series of troops, and put forward a concrete plan for Liu Bocheng to organize the old army and launch an armed uprising in Luzhou and Shunqing areas. The central government agreed to the plan and sent people to strengthen military operations. During this period, Liu Bocheng basically followed Wu to Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places. 165438+1in mid-October, Yang Gong, Zhu De, Liu Bocheng and others held an emergency meeting at their home in Liu Bocheng, Chongqing. At this meeting, according to the intention of the Central Committee, they established the Military Committee of Chongqing District Committee of the Communist Party of China, which is composed of Yang Gong, Zhu De and Liu Bocheng. Yang Gong, secretary of the prefectural party committee, is also secretary of the Military Commission.
When Zhu Degang walked into Liu Bocheng's house, they held hands for a long time, smiling, but they had endless words in their hearts. The insider also smiled at the side. Among the later ten marshals of the Republic, they were the oldest and the first to know each other. But they used to be enemies, but they were unknown: as early as 19 16, both Zhu De and Liu Bocheng participated in the war to defend the country against Yuan Shikai's restoration of monarchy. At that time, Zhu De served as the commander-in-chief of Yunnan Army in Sichuan, and Liu Bocheng served in Sichuan Army. After the war, Sichuan gradually formed a warlord regime, and wars continued. 19 17 years, in order to eliminate the influence of another warlord, Liu Cunhou, the warlord sent Liu Bocheng as a representative to Luzhou in southern Sichuan to negotiate with the troops of the Dian warlord Tang, intending to jointly expel Liu Cunhou. In this negotiation, Liu Bocheng met Zhu De. However, in 1920, Tang attempted to seize the sovereignty of Sichuan and tried to unite with other warlords in Sichuan to expel it. Therefore, Xiong Kewu used the slogan of Sichuan people ruling Sichuan and expelling the guest troops to unite with the Sichuan warlords and expel the troops stationed in Sichuan and Yunnan. In this war, Liu Bocheng led his troops to fight against the Dian army and won many battles, while the Dian army in Zhu De suffered many battles and fought many battles, and fought all the way from Chengdu to Guizhou, so the enemy of the army got married. Later, Zhu De went abroad and came back to work as a clerk. Just as he was appointed by the party, he came to Wanxian County, Sichuan Province to instigate the warlord Yang Sen to participate in the Northern Expedition, but he was helpless because Yang Sen repeatedly broke his word. He and Liu Bocheng, whom he deeply admired, came together again. Naturally, he was pleasantly surprised and had something to say. The intimate relationship between the two old soldiers in the future is well known: after the liberation of China, some foreign guests and foreign officers, out of admiration for Zhu De, rushed to propose a toast to Zhu De, and Zhu De was at a loss. Liu Bocheng took the initiative to come forward to socialize, instead of Zhu De, he drank the left cup and the right cup of foreign guests' toast. He doesn't know how to drink. He drank so much at once that the party failed. The next day, the secretary and the guard complained that he couldn't drink, so don't try to be brave. But he said humorously, what do you know? It's a great honor for me to take credit for Mr. Zhu and receive the prize! Otherwise, Zhu can't stand it!
65438+February 1, Luzhou uprising broke out ahead of schedule; On the 3rd, an uprising broke out in Shunqing. In view of Shunqing's scheduled base area, it was decided to rush from Liu Bocheng to Hechuan to lead the Yellow Uprising as planned, and then rush to Shunqing to preside over and command the whole uprising.
On the evening of 5th, when Liu Bocheng arrived in Hechuan, the Yellow Department had received an urgent telegram from Shunqing and left the station. So, Liu Bocheng, on crutches, chased after him overnight in the torrential rain, and finally caught up with the rebels at Daheba. Liu Bocheng himself was too tired to stand up for a long time. But he still walked with Huang, and others were already planning the marching route. The next morning, Liu Bocheng led the troops to fight in the north and headed for Shunqing. However, the reactionary warlords in Sichuan quickly attacked the rebels. Luzhou Rebels didn't go north, and the enemy occupied the city. The insurgents decided to completely withdraw from Shunqing. Withdrawing troops to meet the enemy, the enemy charged the death squads, and a dragon gun woke up in front of the front line, shouting and inciting, which made the waverers within the rebel army abandon their guns and flee, and some even defected, forcing the rebel army to a dangerous situation. It is suggested that the rebels in Liu Bocheng temporarily retreat to Kaijiang County for rectification. In late February 65438, Liu Bocheng led more than 2,000 rebels to talk. At this time, the reactionary warlord Yang Sen was defeated by the Northern Expeditionary Army in Wuhan. On the contrary, he pretended to be revolutionary, welcomed the rebels, and invited Liu Bocheng and Yang Gong to Wanxian to guide the work. So, Liu Bocheng and Yang Gong arrived in Wanxian successively, studied the changes of the situation with Zhu De, discussed the work of Yang Sen's department, and used him to contain another Sichuan warlord, Liu Xiang.
However, all these beautiful ideas were wiped out because of the rebellion of Chiang Kai-shek clique.
Leading the Luzhou Uprising was the first time that Liu Bocheng took command of military operations since he took part in the * * * *. Now, the burden of guarding Luzhou City is on him again. Lai Xinhui, an old acquaintance of Liu Bocheng, besieged the city. He knew that Liu Bocheng was difficult to fight, but with a strong army, he attacked many times and was defeated. Later, he was haunted: during the storm, he sent a large number of spies into the city to plot against him. After these spies mixed into the city, they went to various ministries to carry out secret activities, which may be exposed and cracked by the insurgents. Liu Bocheng ordered the immediate execution of ten masterminds. Although Liu Bocheng struggled for a few days, he never had any formal name. Liu Xiang, who took refuge in Chiang Kai-shek, was also clamoring: Bocheng, in the name of a dangerous soldier and a private soldier, recently colluded with Wuhan traitors and plotted to usurp the throne, which made Wu quite complain about the Wuhan government. After his repeated efforts, in early May, the Wuhan government finally gave Liu Bocheng a clear statement: he was appointed as the commander of the National Revolutionary Army 15 Army.
Luzhou at this time is already an isolated city.
Food and ammunition are extremely difficult. Liu Bocheng received a notice from the central authorities confirming that Yang Sen had sent troops to Yichang to attack the Wuhan National Government. In this way, the original plan of Chongqing Military Commission to contain Liu Xiang with Yang Sen failed. Liu Bocheng advocated retreat, while the other two rebel leaders, Chen Lanting and Pi Guang, remained uncharacteristically silent on this urgent matter and refused to retreat. Liu Bocheng didn't know that as early as 000698, they reached a tacit understanding with Lai Xinhui, who was besieging the city, and prepared to betray Liu Bocheng and political workers in exchange for Gao Houlu.
In mid-May, Liu Xiang offered a reward of 50,000 yuan to Liu Bocheng. Chen Lanting and others are worried about Si Mazhao. Others and the left urged Liu Bocheng to leave. Liu Bocheng hesitated. It is his aim to advance, attack and retreat, but now he has to take a step back, which makes him very embarrassed. After I came back, I discussed with several party member, and they all said, "If you don't leave, you will die." Liu Bocheng beat his chest, sent someone outside the city to clear up with old acquaintances, and on May 16, he took the chief of staff, Han Baicheng and Zhou, and walked out of the encirclement from Longtouguan. When we arrived in Fushun, the reactionary army searched extremely strictly. Liu Bocheng turned back and headed for Longchang and Rongchang. After that, Liu Bocheng and his party spent the night at dawn, and the journey was extremely difficult. Evil tigers get in the way, bandits rob. It was a narrow escape. They went to Daxian County via Dazu and Tongliang, and then turned around.
