Chapter Forty-Six: The Water of White Flowers
The world's media have been very confused in their coverage of China in the past two days.
Some are speculating at length about who is in power in the new Chinese government, but they can't imagine that Wu Lixing is also on the list.
Others are speculating about whether a major war will break out between China and Soviet Russia, and what Sam's attitude will be after the war.
After all, China's military exercises in the northwest are confusing.
The National People's Congress is about to be convened here, and there is still leisure time to complete the military exercise.
In the end, the limelight suddenly changed, and I felt that China was not using the National People's Congress as a smokescreen, and its real purpose was to fight a war with Soviet Russia.
A few years ago, the Soviet Russians invaded China's western Xinjiang, which still made many countries have a different attitude.
Finally, in the Chinese newspapers, there was a brief news that it was a radioactive weapons test in the west, but then there was no result.
Will the Chinese come this time with hatred and retaliate for the last invasion of Soviet Russia?
Although since the first premier of the People's Republic of China, he has been preaching that China adheres to the diplomatic principle of independence and self-determination.
But in international disputes, some things are only superficial reasons and high-sounding, and God knows what will happen in actual action.
There was a lot of disturbance outside, and the Russians also felt inexplicable.
The KGB, a secret agency, is mobilizing resources all over the world to find out the real purpose of China's military exercises.
Of course, on the other hand, the Russian army was also on the frontier, whether it was on the northeastern or northwestern frontier of China.
in public opinion. Soviet Russia spared no effort to preach the theory of the China threat in an attempt to start the war. Pretend to be a victim and you will be able to win more solidarity when the time comes.
This qiē has not been able to make any waves in China.
With the exception of the North-Western Military District, the rest of the military districts do not have any traces of troop movements.
"Lao Chen, this is a good opportunity for you to take the position!" Cang Haitao threw over a cigarette: "The above is not an ordinary attention to this military exercise." ”
"Yes," Chen Haosu took the cigarette in his hand: "You see that Taimeng and they are all in front, I am anxious." ”
"What's the use of being in a hurry?" Cang Haitao smiled: "As long as you maintain a good relationship with this kid from Wushan." In the future, there will be a Cotai Avenue in front of you! ”
"I haven't asked you yet!" For this new deputy, Chen Haosu and the two of them have a common bond: "Aren't you Xiaoshan's grandfather's security chief?" Why did you come to the Northwest Military Region? ”
"People gather like likes!" Cang Haitao sighed: "This kid Wushan is very good, can Premier Zhao be bad?" The old man took advantage of the fact that his words were still useful. Lift me up. ”
"You said that Nie Shuai, the commander-in-chief, won't come, so let me, the former commander-in-chief, toss here, what's the matter!" Chen Haosu grumbled.
"I'll go, Old Chen. That's not your character, is it? Cang Haitao seemed to have discovered a new continent: "Don't you want to command the troops alone?" ”
"Old warehouse. Remember, no one can reveal the purpose! Chen Haosu's face changed: "That's going to die!" ”
As an old comrade-in-arms of Wushan, how could Cang Haitao not know that this operation was inevitably related to the guy who was not in the north now?
I don't know what's going on, but he suddenly remembered the poem "There Are People".
"Phew!" Cang Haitao shook his head suddenly.
Some people are dead, but he is still alive; Some people live, but they die!
What is Wushan, an old comrade-in-arms?
It can only be said that some people are not there, but his influence is everywhere.
"What's wrong?" Chen Haosu's hand holding the cigarette was still holding the binocular, and he had to throw the cigarette on the ground and step on it.
"No." Cang Haitao smiled awkwardly: "I remembered something I shouldn't have thought about!" ”
"Let's go, old cang!" Chen Haosu handed the binoculars to the guards: "I want to see the river flowing backwards in person!" ”
"Me too!" Cang Haitao: "It's not easy for an old witch. I can't imagine this desert being built like this. For his sake, we have to do this well! ”
"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about that kid!" Chen Haosu said angrily: "Do you think that my relationship with him is worse than yours?" ”
"Hmph, first of all, geographically, we are fellow countrymen. In the army, the first unit he participated in was the mountain brigade where Lao Tzu was in. ”
"And you kid, didn't you just spend a few days with him in the training camp?"
"We're really friendly with war, aren't we?" Cang Haitao was unhappy: "That's a test of blood and fire." Fellow, were you born in Bashu? ”
"Lao Tzu is too lazy to pay attention to you!" Chen Haosu glared fiercely: "Go, get in the car!" ”
In a short time, the two of them had already come to the forward position.
"Report on your readiness!" Chen Haosu's face was full of sternness.
"Red report, all ready!"
"Blue report, just wait for the exercise to start!"
"Now let's start the table!" Chen Haosu raised his left wrist: "It's all adjusted to 7:50, and after ten minutes, the exercise will begin." ”
For ten minutes, everyone was nervous.
Night fell quietly, and the autumn wind in the north blew the qiē that could be blown on the ground.
Every soldier who could participate in the exercise had beads of sweat on his forehead.
"The countdown begins!"
"Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight,...... Five, four, three, two, one! ”
The red cannons roared, and all of them smashed into the top of Hill No. 1.
The blue cannons also showed no weakness, and all of them smashed into the top of Hill No. 2.
In northern Xinjiang, such terrain is rare, and there is a landform like the Three Gorges, where the river actually divides a mountain in half.
Red is from the northwest and blue is from the southeast.
"The shell deviated by two points, ten degrees to the east!" On the red side's position, there was a loud roar.
"Our shells smashed into the river," the blue side's position, which also deviated: "Octave 5 degrees west." ”
At the same time, the Russian army had long been in good gear.
"Report it to me right away!" Their commanders were going crazy: "Did the guns of the Chinese people fall on our positions?" ”
"Nope!"
"Nope!"
"I didn't see it here!"
10,000 artillery guns fired in unison, even on the Soviet positions not far away. You can feel the earth trembling.
Since the satellites took to the skies, Sam Man has had a huge advantage in this area.
They can be the first to know the latest trends in various places, therefore. The drill was held at night to avoid Sam's surveillance.
To be honest, this exercise was indeed a bit too hasty.
It took just over a day for the troops to finally assemble when they began to receive orders.
It is estimated that no one else in the entire force except the former enemy's commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief knew the purpose of the exercise.
Even Chen Haosu and Cang Haitao can only guess secretly. It's infinitely closer to reality.
"Hill No. 1 has been lowered by twenty meters!"
"The second hill has been lowered by eighteen meters!"
"Commander-in-chief, the water level has risen by two meters!" The guards hurriedly ran over.
In the makeshift tent, the lights shine as if it were day.
Chen Haosu and Cang Haitao glanced at each other. Not without surprises.
"Keep shooting!" Commander Chen waved his hand.
On the positions of Soviet Russia, the soldiers were like ants on a hot pot.
Nima, anyone with a little knowledge of war knows that this is live ammunition!
When did the military exercise have live ammunition? But since the shells of the Chinese have not yet fallen on their positions. The Russians did not dare to make any rash moves.
Despite the capital of China. Those bigwigs did not take this military exercise seriously, and the top brass of Soviet Russia has been keeping an eye on the situation in Moscow at all times.
To the shock of the Soviet Russians, the Chinese shells seemed to be free of money and kept roaring.
The rumbling sound of shells lasted for more than five hours.
Then, the sound stopped abruptly, and there was no movement.
The Western media, which have been paying attention to the movements in China at any time, have received a message released by the Central People's Radio and the Central People's Radio:
September 28, Beijing time. China's Northwest Military District conducted military exercises in the Oulothai region to test the effectiveness of new types of weapons.
But. Because of the negligence of the weapons depot, the final exercise turned into a live-fire exercise and had to be terminated, and the casualties are being counted nervously.
The whole world is in an uproar, and the military exercises that have attracted worldwide attention have made such a big mistake?
"This?" Cang Haitao heard the radio with a blank expression: "Commander-in-chief, how can this be?" ”
"I thought of it!" Two lines of tears flowed from Chen Haosu's eyes: "Why didn't Nie Shuai come to the scene, this is his old man who has to shoulder all the responsibilities!" ”
"He's going to fight?!" Cang Haitao was shocked in his heart: "How can he resist?" ”
"How do I know?" Chen Haosu glanced at him: "Otherwise, why are we marshals, and we are just generals?" ”
"The old marshal may be about to resign," Cang Haitao muttered: "Alas, can I see a marshal in the future?" ”
"Uncle Nie, his old man has been busy all his life, and he should have a good rest." Chen Haosu originally had a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't know when it was pinched into tobacco and it was everywhere.
"So what are we going to do now?" Cang Haitao couldn't manage so much, just thinking about continuing the task this time: "Use cement to weld the dam?" ”
"You kid!" Chen Haosu nodded twice on his head: "Use live ammunition to ask Nie Shuai to top the tank, if a drop of water is not given to the Russians, who will be responsible?" ”
"Let's go!" Seeing that Cang Haitao was still there at a loss, he walked over and patted his shoulder: "Go to the second place." ”
The second location, not far from here. It's only ten minutes away by car.
Rows of engineers were waiting there, and the banks of the river had been dug down to a few inches thick.
Outside the riverbank, a cement pipe about one meter in diameter is exposed.
In front of the cement pipe, there is a mechanical gate.
"Commander-in-Chief!" A leader-looking man snapped a salute.
"Are you all ready?" Chen Haosu returned the gift casually.
He and Cang Haitao have never been economical, and he and Cang Haitao also know how much these cement pipes cost!
"Open the floodgates and release the water!" Chen Haosu raised the starting pistol in his hand, and a red bullet flew into the air.
Suddenly, the water of the white flowers flowed happily into the cement pipeline, flowing to Oulothai, to Koramayi, and to Wushi! (To be continued......)
