As soon as the day dawned, the two small detachments of the military sub-division arrived ahead of schedule and assembled at the temporary headquarters of the Miaokong Brigade, waiting for the order to enter the mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

About seven or eight minutes apart, Xiang Dongqun, secretary of the county party committee, Ge Cunli, director of the Revolutionary Committee, and Wang Huaishu, director of the Public Security Bureau, also arrived together.

Wang Limin, secretary of the Ministry of Armed Forces, went out to greet Secretary Xiang Dongqun and his party, shook hands and greeted them one by one, "Secretary Xiang, hello!" "Hello, Director Ge!" "Hello, Director Wang!"

Xiang Dongqun frowned slightly, just shook his hand lightly, and watched Wang Limin finish shaking hands one by one before asking, "Is the old minister here?" ”

"Secretary Xiang, Minister Hua went into the mountain last night." Wang Limin replied.

"Why don't you follow?" Xiang Dongqun's eyes stared at Wang Limin.

"The minister ordered me to stay on the phone at home." Wang Limin replied. Then he said, "Secretary Xiang, will you go into the house?" ”

Xiang Dongqun ignored Wang Limin, but walked to the troops assembled on the open field on the side of the road, and said loudly as he walked: "Comrades, hard work, I am Xiang Dongqun, on behalf of the Nanyue County Party Committee and the County Revolutionary Committee, thank the comrades. ”

From the ranks sitting on the dry field stood up a soldier and shouted: "Stand up! ”

The soldiers stood up with a shout, and the soldiers standing at the front of the line then shouted the order: "Stand up!" Look to the right, take a breath, salute! ”

Then he made a post-pass movement, facing Xiang Dongqun and said: "Comrade Secretary of the report, I am Zhang Yingjie, the commander of the military division company, and I am ordered to accept your command, please instruct!" ”

Xiang Dongqun walked to the front of the group, pressed his hand down, and motioned for the warriors to put down their saluting hands.

Zhang Yingjie shouted: "The ceremony is over." The warriors lowered their arms in unison.

Xiang Dongqun said: "Comrades, come into the mountain with me now." ”

Zhang Yingjie replied: "Yes! Immediately shouted: "All of them, turn to the right, form a formation, and walk in unison." "He followed behind the eastern group and headed for the mountains.

After a while, they met Zhu Zhengming and them who set up a cordon, Zhu Zhengming, Zhang Mingda, and Fang Qiang immediately saluted Xiang Dongqun and them, Zhu Zheng said: "Report to Secretary Xiang, our comrades from the militia battalion and the Public Security Bureau have been ordered to set up a guard here, please instruct!" ”

Xiang Dongqun said: "Release the mountain search troops, pay attention to vigilance, and strengthen precautions!" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Zhengming replied.

Xiang Dongqun led the troops of the army division to continue marching into the mountains.

The East China Minister on the rooftop stood up from time to time, looked at the mouth of the Longxia ditch under the cliff, and said to Li Minghe, who was standing beside him: "It is estimated that Secretary Xiang Dongqun is also about to arrive,"

At this time, Ma Xiaobo, who was in charge of leading people to the mountain pass to pick up breakfast food, walked up to the rooftop, put down a basket of steamed buns, and said, "Minister, I saw that some troops have arrived at the Miaokong Brigade. ”

Hua Dong said: "Coming? Good! Did you see Secretary Xiang? ”

"No, it's far away, and I can't see clearly."

Hua Dong said: "Hurry up and call everyone to dinner." He also took two steamed buns from the basket and nibbled them.

Ma Xiaobo said: "Minister, there are pickles here. ”

Hua Dong broke the steamed buns, sandwiched the pickles with a fast child, put them into the steamed buns, and then closed the broken steamed buns to become pickles sandwiched steamed buns, chewing while saying, "Well, the taste is really good." Everyone hurry up and eat, and the meeting will start work. ”

As soon as Huadong's voice fell, a public security officer shouted: "Director Wu, Director Wang is also here." ”

Wu Guozhang stood up as soon as he heard this, and saw that on the path at the bottom of the Longxia ditch, Secretary Xiang Dongqun, Director Ge Cunli, and Director Wang Huaishu were walking in front of the troops, walking towards the foot of the cliff. He said, "Old minister, Secretary Xiang is here." ”

The East China minister said, "Let's go down and greet us." With that, he stood up and walked down the cliff, followed by Li Minghe and Wu Guozhang.

When they walked to the bottom of the cliff in East China, they happened to meet the secretary of the Xiangdong group.

Xiang Dongqun opened his mouth and said, "Old minister, why don't you listen to persuasion?" ”

Hua Dong smiled and said: "Secretary, you must be responsible in your position, and one day you approve my retirement, I will be obedient." ”

Xiang Dongqun asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

Hua Dong said: "Last night, I asked them to stop entering the cave again, and all the people who were at the scene stayed here, and all the personnel who were not at the scene were no longer arranged to enter the mountain, and they set up a guard outside the mountain pass. ”

Xiang Dongqun said: "Okay! Now all non-military personnel have been withdrawn, and comrades from the military sub-district have taken over the follow-up search and rescue work. ”

Huadong said to Li Minghe: "You go up and tell them to all come down." ”

Li Minghe said, "Okay! Then he turned and went up to the rooftop.

After all the people on the rooftop came down, the soldiers of the military sub-division, under the leadership of Zhang Yingjie, boarded the rooftop and stood in line.

Xiang Dongqun, Hua Dong, Wang Huaishu, Li Minghe and Wu Guozhang all went up to the rooftop together.

Zhang Yingjie saluted Xiang Dongqun and said loudly: "Comrade Secretary, we have finished preparations, please instruct!" ”

Xiang Dongqun faced the team and said in a loud voice: "Comrades! The task is very difficult and dangerous, are you ready? ”

The warriors' neat voices replied: "Please rest assured, chief!" We're ready. ”

Xiang Dongqun said: "Okay! I would now like to give Minister Li Minghe a briefing. ”

Li Minghe also said loudly: "Comrades, at dinner yesterday, we found that there was a possibility of a stone cave on the cliff, so we sent 30 militiamen to search for it, but not only did we not find anyone in the cave, but even 30 militia comrades disappeared. Now the task is to search the cave to find thirty militia comrades and the people hiding in the cave. ”

Zhang Yingjie asked Xiang Dongqun: "Comrade Secretary, can we carry out an operation?" ”

Xiang Dongqun asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

Zhang Yingjie said: "We brought dry food. ”

Xiang Dongqun said, "Oh, you can carry out operations. ”

Zhang Yingjie said to the team: "Two team leaders, please come out." Two men came out of the two columns, stood upright and saluted, and said:

"Report to Comrade Company Commander, I am He Guangming, the leader of the first detachment."

"Report to Comrade Company Commander, I am Hua Jianming, the leader of the fifth detachment."

Zhang Yingjie said: "Please take a break. Then he shouted to the team, "All of them, sit down and have breakfast." With a "bang", all the warriors sat down.

Zhang Yingjie said to the two detachment leaders: "Comrade He Guangming, Comrade Hua Jianming, let's study the method of going up the cliff. He asked Li Minghe again: "Minister Li, you have been in, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the narrow passage of the big rock, Li Minghe said: "We passed from here last night, but the speed is very slow, so we must pay special attention to safety." ”

He Guangming said: "We don't have a soft ladder, but we have a climbing rope, which can throw over big rocks, and it is better to have a place that can be fixed. ”

Several people nodded in unison, and Zhang Yingjie said, "That's it." ”

After the soldiers had breakfast, Zhang Yingjie said to the soldiers sitting on the ground: "All of them, stand up!" ”

He Guangming and Hua Jianming said, "Please join the two team leaders." ”

Then shouted to the team: "Comrades! Get moving. Turn right and walk in unison! ”

The team walked towards the big rock, and He Guangming, who was walking in front, walked to the edge of the rock and shouted: "Stand!" He threw the climbing rope over the big rock, squatted down in front of the rock, and said, "Come, take the ladder." ”

The fighters quickly climbed over a large rock seven or eight meters high.

Zhang Yingjie and He Guangming passed through the narrow passage on the side of the rock and finally arrived on the cliff.

The fighters moved very quickly, and in about ten minutes or so, they entered the big stone cave, and Zhang Yingjie ordered the soldiers: "Comrades! Be sure to search for stone crevices and recesses, and pay special attention to observe that there is a certain regular shape of the recess or something that spits out, and maybe it is an entrance or exit mechanism. According to the analysis of the situation obtained by the local comrades, it is very likely that the people hiding in the cave, the 30 militia comrades, have inadvertently touched a certain organ and disappeared, so our task is mainly to find the organ. ”

Under the leadership of He Guangming and Hua Jianming, they were divided into two lines, one team searched west along the east line, and the other team searched east along the west line, and the two teams crossed each other and searched over and over again.

An hour passed, two hours passed, three hours, four hours, and time went by like this, and still nothing.

Zhang Yingjie saw that the soldiers had appeared, the tendency to relax due to disappointment, and the state of laziness due to exhaustion, and immediately shouted: "All of them, assemble!" "All the fighters quickly concentrated towards Zhang Yingjie's location,

He Guangming shouted: "Report!" The first detachment, the queue is complete! ”

Hua Jianming then shouted: "Report, the fifth detachment, the queue is complete!" ”

Zhang Yingjie said: "Okay! All of them, take a fifteen-minute break and have lunch. With a snort, all the warriors sat down.

Zhang Yingjie was also the same as the soldiers, sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating dry food, and said: "The current situation, everyone is clear, let's discuss it together, whether it is right or wrong, we can talk about it, and see if there is any good way." Who comes first? ”

For a moment, no one spoke.

Looking at this situation, Zhang Yingjie had no choice but to order: "In this way, start with Comrade He Guangming, and start in turn." ”

He Guangming had no choice but to say: "We didn't bring a minesweeper, otherwise we can sweep, and the general mechanism should have something like iron." ”

Next, some said that the search would continue, and some said that they would report to their superiors and invite relevant experts. It is also said that the method of tapping is used to see if it can be contacted by the missing militia.

A warrior with a small head, a round face, a clumped head, black eyebrows, bright eyes, white skin, a tall stork bone, a straight nose, and thick lips, said timidly:

"I think this seems to be a tomb, we just need to pay attention to the search, those protruding or recessed stones are more obvious, especially the ones that do not pay much attention, or square, or round, or diamond-shaped, or petal-shaped, especially in the places with patterns, because these places are generally the buttons of the mechanism."

When Zhang Yingjie heard this, it seemed that what he said was more reasonable, and it seemed that he still had some knowledge in this area. So he asked, "Okay!" What is your name? ”

"Report, I'm Huang Xiaoguang, a soldier of the fifth detachment." The warrior replied in a loud voice.

Zhang Yingjie resolutely decided: "Comrades, we will carry out a search according to Comrade Huang Xiaoguang's opinion, and if we find anything, we will report it immediately." Let's go! ”

The fighters still searched in two lines, but after eight minutes, a soldier immediately shouted: "Report, there is a situation." ”

When Zhang Yingjie heard this, he immediately shouted: "Comrade Huang Xiaoguang, come here!" ”

Huang Xiaoguang immediately responded loudly: "Yes!" He ran to Zhang Yingjie's side and said, "Comrade Company Commander, please instruct!" ”

Zhang Yingjie said: "Go! Let's take a look. ”

The two of them entered the small stone room to report the situation together, which was where Ye Xiaoshuai and Ye Qizhen slept.

He Guangming pointed to a plum blossom pattern at the head of the bed and said, "Lian Chang Zhang, look at this pattern, is it unusual?" ”

Zhang Yingjie looked at Huang Xiaoguang and asked, "Comrade Huang Xiaoguang, what do you see?" ”

Huang Xiaoguang's eyes were a little straight, staring at the plum blossom pattern, and muttering, "That's it!" That's it! Finally found it! Ha ha! Finally found it! As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.

Zhang Yingjie looked at Huang Xiaoguang suspiciously, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
