In the Red Star Shines on China, in which chapter does Cano mention that he almost lost information?

The eleventh time is safe

6. Farewell, Red China.

On the 20 th, it passed through the no-man's land safely and reached the rear of the defense line of the Northeast Army. The next day, I borrowed a horse and went into Luochuan, where a truck was waiting for me. A day later, I arrived in Xi. When I got to the Drum Tower, I got down from the driver's seat and asked a Red Army soldier (who was wearing a Northeast Army uniform) to throw my bag to me. I looked for it for a long time but I couldn't find it, and then I looked for it for a long time. At this time, I am both suspicious and afraid. Sure enough, there is no doubt. My bag is not there. In that bag, I have more than a dozen diaries and notes, 30 rolls of film-the first photos and films of the Chinese Red Army-and several pounds of magazines, newspapers and documents. We have to find it!

Excited for a long time under the drum tower, the traffic police looked at us curiously not far away. So we had a quiet discussion. I finally figured out what was going on. That truck contained a gun to be repaired by the Northeast Army in a sack. My bag was stuffed in that sack for fear of being searched and unloaded in Xianyang, north of Weihe River, 20 miles behind our trip! The driver stared at the truck regretfully. "Damn it," he had to comfort me.

It was already dark, and the driver said he would wait until tomorrow morning to look for it. Tomorrow morning! I subconsciously feel that tomorrow morning will be too late. I insisted on my opinion and finally persuaded him. The truck turned back. At a friend's house in Xi 'an, I didn't sleep a wink all night. I wonder if I can see that priceless bag again. If that bag is opened in Xianyang, not only will all my things be lost forever, but all the passengers on the truck of the Northeast Army will be finished. Xianyang has military and police stationed in Nanjing.

Fortunately, as can be seen from the photos in this book, the bag has been found. But my instinct to get it back is absolutely correct, because the next morning, all the traffic in the street stopped, and all the roads at the gate were covered with military police and military sentries. Farmers were driven out of their homes along the way. Some dilapidated houses that are unsightly are simply torn down so as not to make people feel ugly. It turned out that Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek suddenly visited the An Mansion in Xi. At that time, it will be impossible for our truck to return to Weihe River along the original road, because this road passes through the heavily guarded airport.

The arrival of the Commander-in-Chief is very different from the scene I remember. Xu Haidong, Lin Biao and Peng walked casually in the streets of red China, which was unforgettable. And the commander-in-chief didn't offer a reward for his head. This vividly shows who really fears the people and who trusts them. However, even all the measures taken by the Xi government to protect the life of the commander-in-chief proved to be insufficient. He has too many enemies in the troops defending him.
