Chapter 28 Leaving

  As they walked along, they saw dust flying up ahead. After a while, someone shouted, "That's a car!" A car came into view.

  Li Zhengwei quickly drew his pistol from his waist and commanded: "There's a situation, prepare for battle!"

  As soon as Li Zhengwei gave the order, the soldiers immediately lay down on the ground, pulled open the gun bolt and aimed at the car in front. On the car, someone was waving a large red cloth back and forth.

  Li Zhengwei looked through the binoculars and excitedly said to everyone, "Isn't that Yang Xiukun on our vehicle?"

  A large truck quickly arrived in front of them. Yang Xiu-kun, the deputy commander of the 89th Division of the Red Army's 30th Corps, and others jumped off the vehicle and tightly hugged Li Zheng-tang and others, with tears streaming down their faces.

  "He excitedly said: 'Commander, Political Commissar, we've searched for you guys for so long, now we've finally found you!'"

  Yang Xiukun and others broke through the siege and headed west along the Ganxin Highway, arriving at Xingxing Gorge on April 27. Shi Shengcai, who had established a united front relationship with our party, learned about it and instructed the border defense troops of Xingxing Gorge to search for and rescue the Red Army soldiers of the Western Route Army with all their might.

  Yang Deputy Commander and others day and night worried about the safety of the military department head, every day sitting in a friendly army car with food and fruit, to the Gobi Desert to come back and forth searching for them, finally found them today.

  The troops arrived one after another, and familiar people came forward to greet each other. Comrade Yang Xiukun, who had come to receive Li Zhengwei and others, saw several thousand people, including many comrades from the women's team.

  Turning to Li Zhengwei, he asked: I remember that the women's detachment was surrounded in the battle of Lizigou in Qilian Mountain, how did they break through?

  Li Zhengwei smiled and said, "Come on, I'll introduce you. He's the one who helped the Women's Corps break through the siege at Liyuan Gate, and made great contributions to the successful reunion of the Women's Corps and Headquarters, as well as solving the difficulties of the Headquarters' organs - Comrade Wu Bing."

  Then he said to Wu Bing: Comrade Wu Bing, this is Yang Xiukun, the deputy commander of the 89th Division of the Red Thirtieth Army.

  Wu Bing immediately stepped forward and saluted Deputy Commander Yang, saying: "Commander is well."

  Deputy Commander Yang carefully sized up this young man in strange clothes and said: Comrade Wu Bing, thank you.

  Wu Bing said immediately: Commander, you're being polite, this is what I should do.

  Li Zhengwei then introduced Wu Bing to several others who had come to meet them, and they again exchanged pleasantries and thanks.

  After getting to know each other, Wu Bing bid farewell to the leaders and no longer bothered them with his experiences after parting ways. He turned around and left to gather his own troops.

  After the troops have assembled and rested in place, wait for the arrival of subsequent troops. Wu Bing said to Li Ping: You stay here to take care of the troops, I'll go change my clothes.

  After finishing, he ran to the back of a small sand dune to change his clothes. The clothes were captured in the battle at Ba Dunzi a few days ago. Wu Bing deliberately found a set that fit him and kept it for himself, changing into the captured clothes. Wu Bing took off the equipment and firearms on his body

  All of them were stored in the personal reserve warehouse.

  Wu Bing knew that historically, the Western Route Army was originally intended to open up a passage through Xinjiang and receive military supplies from the Soviet Union. Moreover, he was certain that there would definitely be Soviet military personnel and military experts among them, and as long as his equipment was exposed in front of them, they would definitely

  Catch their attention.

  Wu Bing did not want these equipment to be taken away for research, so he decided to put them away. Moreover, Wu Bing had a private intention that these equipment, which were decades ahead of the world, could be studied by his own people, and he decided not to give them away.

  Allowing countries outside of China to conduct research in order to strengthen their military power.

  Wu Bing came to the rest area of the third company after changing his clothes, and everyone was staring at him in surprise.

  Wu Bing smiled and said: How's that, comrades? Am I in high spirits?

  Li Ping opened her eyes wide and stuttered: "Wu brother, why are you dressed like this? What about your equipment and gun?"

  Wu Bing replied: I have hidden all the equipment and firearms.

  "Why?!" Li Ping asked.

  Don't ask why, you'll know later. First find me a rifle, it's not like I'm the company commander or anything! Hehe. Wu Bing said with a smile.

  Li Ping, who didn't quite understand the situation, still trusted Wu Bing and brought him a brand new long gun. That day, under the leadership of Li Zhengwei and Commander-in-Chief Cheng, everyone boarded vehicles dispatched by Shengshi Cai, with whom our party had established a united front relationship.

  After traveling by car for over 30 miles, we finally arrived at Xingxing Gorge, ending our arduous journey of 47 days and nights.

  May 1st, 1937 was a day that Li Zhengwei and his comrades would never forget. On this day, the Central Committee sent representatives with a fleet of over 40 vehicles to Xingxing Gorge to visit the surviving soldiers of the Western Route Army.

  Having gone through countless hardships and narrowly escaped death, at this moment it's like a child who has been away from home suddenly seeing their parents, the emotions are particularly intense. Holding Chen Yun and Deng Dezhao's hands tightly, tears flowed down like a broken thread.

  The central representative said to Li Zhengwei and Cheng Zong: "Dzy has always been concerned about you. You persisted in fighting tenaciously under such difficult conditions, bringing the remaining people to Xingxing Gorge is great! You are indeed a good Communist Party member!" He also said on behalf of

  Extend warm greetings to the Western Route Army comrades who have gone through arduous battles and finally returned to the party's embrace. After finishing speaking, also distribute the brought clothes, bowls, watermelons and other daily necessities to everyone, and arrive at this place with the Western Route Army fighters.

  Under repair at Xingxing Gorge.

  More than a month later, on the streets of Nanzheng County in Shaanxi Province, a young man wearing a blue cotton gown was curiously sizing up the street scene of this small city. This person was Wu Bing, the company commander of the 3rd Company of the Western Route Army Women's Detachment, who had arrived at the left flank of the Xingxing Gorge combat team.

  Under maintenance.

  Wu Bing found Commander Wang to express his desire to leave, but Commander Wang was very puzzled by Wu Bing's idea. After persuading him until the end, he still couldn't persuade Wu Bing to change his mind, and had no choice but to bring him to find Li Zhengwei in the hope of persuading Wu Bing to stay.

  When he saw Comrade Li Zheng, he explained the reason for his visit. Comrade Li Zheng was also surprised and said: "Leave? Why do you want to leave? We have already reported your name and achievements to Yan'an and the Party Central Committee. Your name and achievements are known by everyone, and they specifically entrusted us

  We want you to return to Yan'an with us and meet you.

  Wu Bing thought to himself: The reason I want to leave like this is because of my unclear origins. As long as someone with a discerning mind carefully examines it, they won't find it difficult to discover the loopholes in my words. If I were mistaken for a spy or something, wouldn't that be unjust?

  Wait until later after the outbreak of the war, and then go back to make some achievements. Wu Bing's idea was also simple, which was to avoid the current inspection and wait for an opportunity to return later.

  Then he said to the two: Comrade Li Zheng, Commander Wang, now I will tell you my thoughts. The reason why I returned to China and went through life and death with you is that I wanted to see what kind of army the Red Army is. Now I have seen that the Red Army can be so strong in such difficult circumstances.

  It is a mighty and disciplined army that never commits any offense, but also an army that fights for the poor people of the world.

  But I also want to go to the Kuomintang area to take a look and walk around. Otherwise, I won't be able to make my final decision and firm up my beliefs. Please ask Comrade Li Zheng and Commander Wang to agree to my request.

  Li Zhengwei lowered his head, thought for a moment and said: Yes, you have been abroad and do not understand the domestic situation. Just listening to us, you will definitely not believe it. It's better to go see for yourself in order to make a final decision and firm up your own beliefs.

  Wu Bing heard this and immediately said to the two: Thank you, Commissar Li Zheng. Thank you, Captain Wang. Rest assured that if I make a final decision, I will come find you.

  Li Zhengwei said: Alright, then it's settled. You wait here for a moment first.

  After speaking, he went into the inner room and came out with two pieces of clothing in his hand, saying: "You take these two clothes, they are for use when you go out."

  Wu Bing said with tears in his eyes: Thank you, Commissar Li Zheng, I'm leaving.

  Turning away from the command post, Wu Bing did not return to the third company to bid farewell to his comrades. He didn't want to see the tears of parting, fearing that if he saw them, he would no longer think of leaving. Changing into casual clothes, Wu Bing followed a camel team, advancing towards the east.
