Chapter Forty-Eight: Jacky Cao is running away

Fighting a war is nothing more than concentrating superior forces to destroy the enemy. Divide the enemies, eat them one by one, and you'll win. The Chinese People's Liberation Army made full use of this in the three major battles of the Liberation War. Of course, on the other hand, there are also problems with the command of the Kuomintang. Speaking of which, it is the army of the Kuomintang, but in fact, it is nothing more than the armament of various factions and warlords. Therefore, in war, unified command is quite important.

Of course, this exercise has actually set a precedent for the exercise of Chinese troops since the liberation. In the past, you were defending somewhere, and then I was going to attack. Or where I'm defending, you attack. As we all know, in an actual battle, no one and no enemy are standing there waiting for you to fight. Therefore, the bigwigs of the Beijing Division saw the drawbacks of the previous exercises. It can be said that the exercises of the Huacheng Military Region and the Minzhou Military Region, except that the ammunition was empty, were not much different from the formal wars, and they were used to consider the rapid reaction capability of the troops.

The number of mountain brigades is less than half that of the opposing side. Liu Taimeng may have been very immature in commanding battles, but he has always gathered his troops together and implemented the strategy of concentrating superior forces to strike at the enemy. At first glance, it looks too much like the combat methods of the Central Red Army in those years. I believe that after this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, everyone will remember him. And not as Liu Shuai's son, but as the military commander of the Mountain Brigade of the Huacheng Military Region, Liu Taimeng.

The "16-character formula" of "the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue" was the basic principle of the Red Army's guerrilla warfare in the early stage of the revolutionary struggle in Jinggangshan. Later, the revolutionary armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party all took this policy as a blueprint and won victory after victory. Destroying the enemy in motion is the only magic weapon of modern warfare.

Of course, some people will ask: in the Persian Gulf campaign, it seems that the United States did not use this principle, right? Quite simply, the two sides are not on the same level at all. The multinational force headed by the United States is armed to the teeth, and the weapons it carries are all the most advanced and lethal in the world. And what about Iraq? Due to the Western bloc led by the United States, an arms embargo has been imposed on Iraq. There, apart from the long sand, there is only oil. The Yergin government of that era was not as tough as the later Puniujing government, and only occasionally picked out a few weapons from between his teeth, or sent them secretly. China, the third largest country, remains neutral in international affairs. It can be said that Iraq's weapons are quite poor, and a Scud missile is their strongest means of attack. Unfortunately, as soon as it was launched, it was immediately intercepted, but its location was exposed, and the launch base was directly destroyed by the opponent's missiles. It's like an adult holding a big knife against a child holding a burning stick, that's crushing.

Going back, Cao Xueyou walked into the war room, sat on a chair, and listened to the situation sent back by the two troops. So far, the Mountain Brigade has not made contact with any large force. For a time, the war room of the military headquarters fell into a solemnity.

In the military department, some people once jokingly called the troika, referring to the army commander Cao Xueyou, political commissar Yang Zhengquan, and chief of staff Liu Deshun. Do not think that the commissar is just the political chief. Back then, the famous Yang Maniac led the team on the battlefield in Goryeo to kill the people of the United States crying and calling their mothers. More than 20 years have passed, and Yang Zhengquan's personality is much calmer than back then. Speaking of which, even Commander Cao was brought out by Political Commissar Yang.

Later, after the end of the Goryeo War, for a long time, Yang Zhengquan did not go to the General Staff in the army. The movements one after another made the Yang madmen of the year exhausted. After weighing it again, he felt that the army was his home. It's just that when he entered the army again, his temples were gray, and his former apprentice became the commander of an army.

In the troika, the political commissar is the real brain. It's just that ridiculous. Maybe everyone has a dependency mentality, in the army, Jacky Cao is famous for his cunning and intelligence. When Yang Zhengquan returned to the army, Jacky Cao handed over the things that he had to do with his brains to the political commissar. Once the two of them were joking together, and the political commissar complained: "Okay, you little fox, treat Lao Yang and me as a cow and horse." "It's just a joke. No matter when, Yang Zhengquan still picks up the burden. Cao Xueyou, who is the chief military officer, and Liu Deshun, chief of staff, play the role of checking and filling in the gaps.

"What happened to the telegram you just mentioned?" Yang Zhengquan seemed to have captured something in his head.

Liu Deshun also came back to his senses: "Political commissar, we received two telegrams from unknown sources today, one is at noon and the other is just now. But so far, the group of people who communicate wirelessly has not been deciphered. It's just that in the second article, the place name we are familiar with, the Li family ancestral hall, is mentioned. ”

Yang Zhengquan looked out the window: "What about the local reaction, didn't it mean that it would be handed over to the locality?" ”

"We didn't pay attention to the telegram at noon," Jacky Cao said apologetically: "At that time, I thought there were saboteurs in action, so I asked them to contact the local government." Coincidentally, the place really caught a person. ”

Now Yang Zhengquan, since he is a political commissar, is also more sensitive to these things: "Mention it immediately, maybe it's really aimed at us." Where are the people? We're going to see you in the shortest possible time. ”

The guards immediately responded to the arrangement.

"Report!" Zhou Youxiao shouted at the door, and the three military bosses and staff officers all showed joy on their faces, which should have brought good news!

"Speak!" Jacky Cao suppressed the joy in his heart, it seems that he has already engaged in battle with the mountain brigade? He asked the guards to speak at the door, and he didn't even bother to say "enter" as he usually said.

"Commander, there are fellow villagers looking for you." Zhou Youxiao's words made everyone's hearts sink again.

"Oh?" Jacky Cao stood up with a smile: "It seems that even the local people support us." I'll go check it out first. ”

Commander Cao has no bottom in his heart, but as the commander of an army, even if he relies on Yang Zhengquan in his heart, he is the anchor of the entire army no matter what time he is. Even in the worst of the world, he would show indifference. Only if he is not messy, there will be no chaos below. The battle has gone so far that it has exceeded expectations. Even when he entered the war room just now, Jacky Cao was also full of confidence, thinking that it was impossible for Liu Taimeng to jump down. At both ends of the procession, there was no mountain brigade to be seen. However, this team does exist, otherwise, why has Zhang Haogu's battalion not sent a telegram back until now?

The fellow he saw was, of course, Uncle Su. It's a pity that Jacky Cao listened to the old man talking excitedly about the book of heaven with a sad face, and the more he listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled. After a search by the guard company, the old man was definitely no longer threatening. Besides, there is really any trouble, with the skills he has practiced from the rain of bullets, he is not afraid of any solo fight. Unfortunately, this is not a war. For the common people, the Communist Party's military-civilian policy is the situation between the military and the people.

"Uncle, can you hear what I say?" Jacky Cao took a deep breath: "I don't know what happened to you to find the headquarters." If you have any grievances, I'm sorry, but this is a military force, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the local government. ”

As he spoke, Jacky Cao stood up and put on his coat to leave.

"Chief," Zhou Youxiao stopped Commander Cao with his eyes: "Uncle said that he was looking for his old comrades-in-arms." ”

"Huh?" Jacky Cao was a little surprised, put his coat on the chair, and sat down: "Xiao Zhou, I haven't heard that you understand Hakka?" You kid, you're pretty good, you don't even talk to me when you learn Hakka. ”

"No, chief," Zhou Youxiao smiled bitterly: "It was the comrade who sent him that said it." ”

"Why don't you bring it with you?" Jacky Cao was stunned and a little annoyed. It's like my own feeling, this little week, everything is good, but I don't do things carefully enough, and I have to remind myself of everything.

Looking at the soldier in front of him, Jacky Cao couldn't help but be happy, he was really a good seedling to be a soldier. Not to mention anything else, it is the calm kung fu in front of him, which Cao Xueyou has never seen in other soldiers. The young man is very tall, a little taller than himself. Wrong! Jacky Cao was shocked in his heart, this soldier may also be from the Beijing Division. To put it bluntly, how many officials have you never seen in Beijing? A small military commander, people don't pay attention to it at all.

"You're from our troops." Jacky Cao had already extinguished his thoughts to recruit him, and the water on the Jingshi side was too deep for him to touch. Don't say that you are a small army commander, that is, the old superior in the past, today's Yang Zhengquan political commissar, who was able to write and martial arts back then, how will it be in the end? walked around in Beijing, and in the end his position stagnated, and he was the head of an army when he was a little soldier. It's ridiculous, I saw this young man just now, and I wanted to replace the guard and let him come over.

"Yes, Commander." Wushan is not shocked on the surface, but his heart is already turning over the river and the sea. It turned out that the person with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him was the supreme commander of this exercise, and he really had two brushes, and he deserved to be praised by the people of later generations as a new generation of military gods.

Of course, he knew that Jacky Cao had been looking at himself. The status disparity is too great, Wushan is just a small company-level commander and fighter, and although the other party is currently a military commander, he overheard Old Man Xu say that it seems that he is going to be promoted again in the near future.

"Which army?" Cao Xueyou drank tea all day long, and found that it had already been cold. He had a bad stomach and took the tea in his mouth and didn't swallow it.

Oops, I don't know what kind of troops it is. The whole exercise was a narrow encounter, and the two sides were not familiar with each other's information. It may not be that the mountain brigade is unfamiliar, but he is just unfamiliar with it, Wushan once again lamented that he is still too young and his position is too low.

"Report to the army commander, our battalion commander is Zhang Haogu." Wu Shan had an idea and immediately gave an answer.

Jacky Cao finally drank the tea with a slight temperature in his mouth, pointed to the teacup with his finger, and Zhou Youxiao suddenly realized that he came over to change the water. This action caused Jacky Cao's dissatisfaction again, who chose the guards for Lao Tzu, and when he looked back, he knew that he had to push this person to the end. The former security guard, after getting married, his wife made a fuss that he had to change jobs. Fix yourself now, alas! Jacky Cao sighed involuntarily, took Zhou Youxiao's tea and took a big sip.

Hearing Zhang Haogu's name, Commander Cao was angry again. The people of Jingshi have stretched their hands too long. Well, give Zhang Lao face and let Zhang Haogu enter his own army. He has never experienced war until now, and he is Zhao Kuo in a new era. If he hadn't shouted that a battalion could hold the bridgehead and intercept it, how could he be so passive now. That's not all, a small battalion commander began to train his own lineage in the army. The tone of this kid's speech is obviously the accent of Jingshi.

Of course, to be able to achieve the position of military commander, Jacky Cao is really not covered. He instantly extinguished his resentment towards Zhang Haogu. If he hadn't been giving him the opportunity to lead his troops into battle, maybe Zhang Haogu would have matured a long time ago. Speaking of which, my Lao Cao not only did not help, but invisibly played a suppressive role. A smile appeared on his face at the thought of this.

Bowing down and pouring boiling water himself, Jacky Cao looked at Wushan casually: "You are also from Jingshi, don't you seem to be familiar with me?" ”

"The commander laughed, that soldier of our army is not familiar with you? Although you rarely go to our troops, we have known you for a long time, but we have only seen you from afar. Wushan began to make up: "Report to the army commander, I am from Taishan Province." ”

Jacky Cao was stunned, what? Not from Kyoshi? In other words, it was just a soldier under Zhang Haogu. The old Zhang family is powerful, but for ordinary soldiers, it is still too far away. The idea of using this soldier popped up in his heart again. ”

"In front of me, you don't have to be so restrained." Jacky Cao waved his hand slightly: "Am I so terrible?" ”

"No, Commander." Wu Shan was not sure of the other party's intentions: "I used to be a peasant, and the biggest official I saw was the secretary of the commune. With that, he smiled a little shyly.

"Farmer," Jacky Cao's eyes flickered: "Hello farmer." Three generations ago, we were all farmers. ”

If I hadn't come out of the countryside and didn't have a little backing, maybe I would have been able to go further. Originally, Cao Xueyou came to the Minzhou Military Region in a negative mood, but he didn't expect to lead the troops to fight on Taiwan Island, but he came from behind. He thought helplessly.

Uncle Su is an idle person, and he is a little bored sitting there. I want to smoke dry tobacco, but I'm embarrassed to take it out. No smoking, nothing to do here, an itch in the throat. He couldn't help but cough.

"Ouch, I'm sorry," Jacky Cao patted his head: "Uncle, I'm sorry to snub you." I just called this warrior here to help you solve your problem. Jacky Cao smiled apologetically at Uncle Su, and then turned his head to look at Wushan: "By the way, what is your name, how did you meet this uncle, what is he looking for me?" ”

Name? Wu Shan's heart was excited: "Commander, my name is Ruan Yuanjun." At that time, when the troops passed by the Haokang Brigade, they met this Uncle Su. The old man was a member of the Red Army's outlying organizations, militia units. ”

Then, Wu Shan gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the uncle and the aunt and their family.

After listening to Uncle Su's story, Jacky Cao sighed: "Uncle, I really can't help you with your situation." But don't worry, when you return to the military region, I will take you to the commander, maybe he will have some clues, and maybe he will know you. ”

Now, Jacky Cao still has a trace of doubt in his heart, on the one hand, he really likes this young man; On the other hand, he was worried that the other party would know the identity of Zhang Haogu, so he would climb the high branches and not come to be his own guard.

"Xiao Zhou, you take the uncle to rest." Jacky Cao waved his hand.

Uncle Su hesitated a little and looked at Wushan.

"Uncle, what about this, maybe you don't know Lu Dao, he is the best commander and fighter of the new generation in my country, Commander Cao Xueyou. What our military commander says, he must be talking about it. He then suggested: "They are all soldiers of the people, and you don't have anything to worry about." ”

Hearing Wu Shan introduce himself like this, Jacky Cao's face couldn't help but show a hint of triumph. It seems that his prestige in the army is quite high, and this kid has a very good impression of himself, so it doesn't matter if he is Zhang Haogu's cronies.

However, Commander Cao's mouth was full of modesty: "Uncle Su, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, what the best commanders and fighters are to listen to the party and do things according to the party's requirements." You go and rest first, and when you return to the military area, I will send someone to find you. ”

Uncle Su followed with a smile on his face, waving to Jacky Cao and Wushan again and again. was able to meet Wushan, and I never thought of looking for an acquaintance back then. But for decades, the old man and his wife have never forgotten those comrades-in-arms. How happy my wife would be if I could find them, it was indeed a surprise.

"Xiao Ruan, your language learning ability is quite fast." Commander Cao's face became more and more kind: "Why did your Battalion Commander Zhang send you back?" Supposedly, such a good young man as you should be his left arm and right arm. ”

"Commander, you've won the prize." Wu Shan waved his hand again and again: "I don't know Hakka, Han Qinghong from our battalion is a local." I'm the most useless one in our camp, so I'll arrange to do some rough work. ”

"Haha I'm so energetic at your age that I have to be the first to do anything. Jacky Cao was in a good mood: "Xiao Ruan, are you interested in coming to me?" ”

"Report!" Without waiting for Wushan to answer, a guard came to find Jacky Cao.

"Enter!" Commander Cao frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Chief, that prisoner was escorted to the county by the Zhongdu Commune, and we stopped him on the way."

"Zhilu Dao!" Jacky Cao put on his coat and walked out as he spoke: "Xiao Ruan, come with me?" ”

Let me be his guard? Wushan couldn't help laughing. Hearing Jacky Cao's question, Zhilu said that the other party was waiting for him to express his position.

"Commander, I have to ask the battalion commander for instructions on this matter." Wu Shan scratched his scalp and looked embarrassed.

"Oh? Your battalion commander? Commander Cao's tone immediately became cold: "He has been captured." ”

Saying that, he didn't care about Wushan, his face was full of anger, and he strode out of the meteor.

Jacky Cao was indeed angry. This soldier, from his tone, is not Zhang Haogu's descendant at all. Is a person's origin so important? The head of an army who is dignified is not as good as the youngest son of the old Zhang family in the capital?

The prisoner in front of him didn't look like a bad guy at all, and Jacky Cao's heart gradually calmed down, and he looked carefully.

"Tell me, what kind of sabotage is going to be carried out against our troops!" Jacky Cao was expressionless.

The other two military bigwigs also watched the saboteur carefully. If you want to talk about this kind of person, they have all seen it before, but all of them are old and cunning, how can they be so wooden and young?

"Sir, I didn't think about destroying the army." Shao Dajun shook his head again and again: "They broadcast to me to destroy the power station." ”

The people of the troops looked serious, but did not hit themselves. Shao Dajun honestly told all the information he knew, including how he was arrested, and also told the people in front of him. In Shao Dajun's mind, these people must be from Wushan. Even if you don't confess yourself, everyone can understand the situation after the worst.

"That means there's another class!" Yang Zhengquan finally understood where his suspicions were at first: "It seems that there is still a route from that line to our headquarters. It turned out that that small army has always been active under our noses. ”

As soon as he said this, Jacky Cao and Liu Deshun's faces turned pale in an instant.

"Transfer now!" Cao Jun walked out of the interrogation room without looking back.
