At this point, all he could do was treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Using whatever tricks he could find, Chen Yan went to the countryside overnight to move reinforcements to Nantai.
In Huaijiang Senior High School, the provincial capital, there is an air-raid shelter at the foot of the mountain behind the campus.
Chen Zikun and Xu Tingge are locked up here.
The air-raid shelter is very humid, the walls are wet, and a dim electric light is hidden in a wire cover and hangs on the arched dome.
It is dark and oppressive. , despairing.
The sound of distant bells came.
Today is the last day of 1966.
In one hour it will be the New Year.
Chinese people do not have the habit of celebrating the New Year in the Gregorian calendar.
All enterprises and institutions are also busy criticizing the capitalist roaders and no longer celebrate New Year's Day as usual.
Party, this New Year is a bit deserted.
Xu Tingge lay on the cold cement table and whispered.
He had three broken ribs, multiple bruises on his body, and a bandage on his head.
He should have been living in a warm hospital bed, but he was dragged to this cold and damp underground by the Red Guards.
In the ice cave, the physical trauma was second to none.
Thinking of the scene where his son led people to drag him out of the hospital, he felt like crying without tears.
Chen Zikun sat quietly for a long time, then suddenly broke the silence and said: "Xu Er, how long have we known each other?"
Xu Tingge said: "It has been forty-eight years since the eighth year of the Republic of China."
Chen Zikun was filled with emotion: "It's been almost half a century in the blink of an eye, and the world has changed a lot."
Xu Tingge said: "Yes, it's really fast."
After a while, Chen Zikun said: "Chen Zhong, the top leader of the Red General Division, his father was sentenced to death by you in 1960.
You were punished by him, which can be regarded as karmic retribution."
Xu Tingge said: "Haha, I have killed not one thousand but eight hundred people.
If they all came to me for revenge, I would have died eight hundred times.
I am not unjust, but you, Chen Zikun, were criticized by the son of your direct subordinate.
You What kind of evil did he commit?"
Chen Zikun said: "You blame me for this.
The marriage of Double Happiness was decided by me.
If I had enforced the law impartially back then, there would be no Chen Zhong today."
Xu Tingge said: "Without Chen Zhong, there would be Wang Zhong, Li Zhong, and Zhang Zhong.
Times make heroes.
I don't blame these young people.
Times make heroes.
They have a good time.
My son Xinhe is also a good person."
You man, if you kick three of my ribs, I will achieve great success in the future, and I will die in peace."
He closed his eyes and looked contented.
Chen Zikun shook his head and ignored him.
Suddenly Xu Tingge lowered his voice and said: "Old Chen, do you want to go out?"
The specifications of the air-raid shelter were very high.
It was equipped with a one-meter-thick iron door that could prevent atomic bombs.
It was locked from the outside and it was impossible to get out.
Chen Zikun looked at Xu Tingge suspiciously.
Xu Tingge said: "All the civil air defense fortification drawings in the city have been backed up and reported to the Public Security Bureau.

I know the design and structure of the air raid shelter well.
When I walked back to the end, there was an upward emergency passage on the right side.
I could climb out.
I was injured and couldn't climb out.
"Move, you go first and then find someone to rescue me."
Chen Zikun said: "I will help you walk together."
"No need."
Xu Tingge waved his hand firmly, "Go away and leave me alone, otherwise neither of us will be able to get out."
Chen Zikun nodded, walked back, and found an upward spiral staircase according to Xu Tingge's instructions, so he climbed up.
Halfway up, he heard Xu Tingge slamming the door of the air-raid shelter and shouting: "Come here quickly.
Chen Zikun ran away" Chen Zikun was stunned and quickly climbed up.
The Red Guards in charge of guarding immediately opened the door and rushed in, carrying sticks and belts in their hands.
Xu Tingge pointed behind him: "Chen Zikun is over there, hurry up and chase him."
The Red Guards quickly chased after him, and Chen Zikun accelerated his climb up.
Unexpectedly, the hatch above the passage was locked and could not be opened at all.
"Damn it, I fell into a trap."
Chen Zikun cursed secretly.
"Come down quickly!"
the Red Guards shouted from below.
Chen Zikun had no choice but to come down slowly.
When they got down to the ground, the Red Guards said scornfully: "It's not that easy to run away, so be honest."
After escorting him back to the original place, he suddenly discovered that Xu Tingge was missing.
It turned out that the guard forgot to close the door when he came in, and he slipped away.
"No, I fell into the trap of trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
A Red Guard said in frustration, slapping his head.
"Hurry up and chase him.
He's injured and can't run fast."
Chen Zikun said.
The Red Guards wanted to chase him, but were worried that Chen Zikun would run away too, so they asked him, "Wouldn't you also take the opportunity to run away again?"
Chen Zikun found it funny and thought that these Red Guards looked vicious on the surface, but in fact they were just children.
If he really wanted to leave, he would have overturned them and left.
He only stayed to see how much trouble these boys could make.
Before he could answer, Xu Tingge walked back backwards, with a slightly frightened look on his face.
Chen Zhong led a group of generals to press forward step by step, still wearing the military coat, which would not fall off no matter how he moved.
Behind him, Wang Xiaofei, Xu Hongbing and others were holding sticks in their hands, showing murderous intent.
Chen Zhong walked to the center without looking at the two counter-revolutionaries.
Wang Xiaofei moved a chair.
Chen Zhong lifted the hem of his coat and sat down like a martial artist in a Peking opera.
Wang Xiaofei stood at the side and back with one hand on his hips, majestic. .
"You want to run away, right?"
Chen Zhong held a cigarette in his mouth, and Wang Xiaofei took out a gold-shell lighter to light for him.
This was copied from a capitalist when he was breaking the Four Olds, and became his trophy.
Chen Zhong blew out a puff of smoke and said calmly: "Break their legs."
Finally about to take action, Chen Zikun felt suddenly relaxed.
He moved his shoulders, clenched his fists, and made a cracking sound.

This arrogant expression made Chen Zhong extremely angry, and he threw the cigarette on the ground. , picked up the belt himself and said: "Do it" The Red Guards, relying on their youth and strength, rushed forward in a swarm, but Chen Zikun snatched a wooden stick from his hand and beat them until they were knocked upside down.
These young people had never learned martial arts or fought in a group.
They only relied on their passion and revolutionary spirit.
How could pride be better than that of veteran Chen Zikun?
The fist is afraid of young people, and the stick is afraid of old men.
Chen Zikun easily knocked down seven or eight people, poked the stick on the ground, and said with great energy: "Come again."
The Red Guards did not dare to step forward and all looked at Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong was furious, dropped his belt, and pulled out a pistol from his waist.
It was a powder gun transformed from a nickel-plated double-barreled starting gun.
The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Chen Zikun's chest.
"Squat down for me," Chen Zhong shouted.
Chen Zikun laughed dumbly.
It would be too childish to think that he could be captured with a gunpowder gun.
Just as he was about to speak, there was suddenly a noise outside.
The Red Guards responsible for guarding the outside shrank in and said in shock: "Commander-in-Chief, this is not good.
Yes, the enemy is coming."
Chen Zhong's expression changed drastically: "Which part?"
Standing by the wall, Xu Tingge secretly rejoiced, secretly thinking that the comrades from the Public Security Department had finally come to rescue him.
There was a burst of hearty laughter from outside, and a group of farmers walked in with their heads held high, all carrying weapons, 38-inch caps, 79-9 rifles, and wooden-handled grenades in their waists.
They looked more impressive than the people from the Red Chief.
There are so many, it is simply the difference between the regular army and the Boy Scouts.
The leader said: "I am Gong Dapeng, the president of the Jiangbei Red Farmers Association.
I am here specifically to help the young generals of the Provincial Red Farmers Bureau in making revolution.
If you have any difficulties, just ask."
Chen Zhong looked a little ugly, but he was still very energetic: "Thanks to the help of the Red Farmers Association, we have no difficulties for the time being."
Gong Dapeng said: "It seems that your work is going very smoothly and you are ahead of us.
Then do us a favor.
Chen Zikun, a historical counterrevolutionary, owes a lot of blood debts in Jiangbei.
We must organize the masses to criticize him and borrow him first."
Give us a batch."
Chen Zhong said: "No, we haven't finished the criticism yet, how can we give up halfway."
Gong Dapeng said: "Didn't you criticize me in the gymnasium two days ago?
Why do you still criticize you kids for not being able to patronize your own revolution and leave the workers and peasants behind?
Millions of farmers in Jiangbei are waiting anxiously.
Besides, Chen Zikun is not a prisoner of your family, he is the target of the struggle of the people of the whole province. " Without waiting for Chen Zhong to answer, Gong Dapeng waved his hand: "Comrades, take Chen Zikun away."
More than a dozen farmers came over, pushed the Red Guards aside, tied Chen Zikun randomly with ropes, and pulled him out.
Chen Zikun understood and cooperated with them very well.
Xu Tingge's face was ashen, Chen Zikun was gone, and Chief Hong's anger was about to be vented on himself.
"Thank you then.
I won't delay your revolution."
Gong Dapeng said cheerfully.
When he reached the door, Chen Zikun suddenly turned around and said, "That man's name is Xu Tingge.
He is a former Central Unification agent and has a lot of blood debts."
Gong Dapeng understood and said, "Take him away too."
Outside the air-raid shelter, dozens of soldiers from the Red General Division were confronting people from the Red Peasants Association.

There was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.
Hundreds of people from the Red Peasants Association came, all with guns.
The students from the Red General Division only had chair legs and baseball bats. and javelin.
In this way, the rebels of the Red Farmers Association snatched Chen Zikun and Xu Tingge away from the headquarters of the Red Farmers' Association.
After leaving the gate of the senior high school, sisters Chen Yan and Chen Jiao came up to them, crying with joy.
Chen Zikun held his two daughters in his arms and said, "Why are you crying?
Dad is fine."
Gong Dapeng said: "Chief, we rushed here as soon as we got the news.
It's too late and you have to suffer.
The provincial capital is not safe.
You should go back to Jiangbei with us first."
Chen Zikun said yes, then looked at Xu Tingge and said, "This is Director Xu of the Provincial Public Security Department, please let him go."
Xu Tingge stretched out his hand: "Hello, comrade, thank you for your hard work."
Gong Dapeng didn't even look at him and said, "Let him go."
Xu Tingge retracted his right hand angrily and changed it into a fist gesture: "Thank you, see you later."
He cast a grateful glance at Chen Zikun and limped away into the night.
The Red Peasants' Association commandeered a train to come to the provincial capital, kidnapped Chen Zikun and immediately embarked on the return journey.
The train spewed thick white steam as it drove out of the provincial capital railway station and headed north.
In the soft-seat carriage, Gong Dapeng introduced the revolutionary situation in Jiangbei to Chen Zikun.
Driven by the Red Guards, who were mainly students, the workers and peasants also awakened and formed a revolutionary team to rebel against the party committee.
Now the county committee and county government have been occupied by the Red Peasants Association, and the local The committee also fell into disarray, the public security organs were completely paralyzed, and the rebels in various units went their own way.
"Chief, please lead us to make a revolution," Gong Dapeng said with high spirits.
Chen Zikun was silent, and the train was turning the wheel of history like a steel behemoth and galloping forward, unstoppable
