Chapter 154: Responding to Change with Change
To put it simply, this is Zhang Guanyi telling Liu Cheng that he has been noticed.
However, there is also a possibility that there are devil spies in the higher organization, or someone has defected.
This order was issued directly to Zhang Guanyi, and it stands to reason that he could have ordered the main force of the independent division to complete it, or he could send a team to cooperate with Liu Cheng's youth battalion.
But none of that.
This shows that in the original text of the mission, Liu Cheng's youth battalion should be named to carry out this mission.
Although Zhang Guanyi didn't say a word, Liu Cheng guessed several possibilities from it.
The next thing he has to do is to come up with a way to deal with it, not only to complete the mission, but also to preserve the strength to ensure that the youth camp will not suffer huge blows and losses.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Liu Cheng's face, a hint of approval quietly flashed in Duan Jinghe's eyes.
There is no one who can survive in this situation, none of them are simple, Zhang Guanyi is like this, and Duan Jinghe is also like this.
Under the internal and external troubles, the head turns a little less, and it may be necessary to move tomorrow.
After Liu Cheng was reborn, he never worried that he would lose his life on the battlefield, but he was always worried that he would die at the hands of "his own people".
Politics, in those days, was more powerful than bullets.
Many times it is not that he is indecisive, but that the situation is compelling.
Drasticism and recklessness are not the same thing.
With his current prestige in the youth camp, he can naturally lead this team to set up another mountain, and he can also fight the devil.
But what about later?
The four words of the division will be like a mountain, crushing Liu Cheng and all the soldiers of the Youth Battalion into powder!
There may also be those who think that it is possible to leave the Red Party for a while and wait until it has really matured before joining.
But at that time, will people be willing to take it in, not to mention, what kind of fate will those soldiers who follow him face in the future?
Dying on the battlefield is naturally a hundred, but if they are lucky enough to survive to the end of the war, should they not die well after fighting for more than ten years?
It is true that you cannot be soft-hearted and indecisive on the battlefield, but some things are not as simple as they seem.
Patience is waiting for an opportunity; Compromise is weakness and incompetence!
Liu Cheng waited for more than a year to become the commander of this junior battalion, and he could finally start to implement his plan step by step, start building a team, and accumulate strength, so he naturally would not abandon everything he had because of impulse.
The immediate priority is to complete this mission first, and then find a way to find the person who is behind the scenes.
In Liu Cheng's eyes, the enemy does not distinguish between nationality, men and women, and even civilians or officials, bandits and soldiers, who stands on the opposite side of him in this war, there is only one word: kill!
In the two years after his rebirth, Liu Cheng gradually accepted the reality that he had no other advantages except for knowing the direction of history and having some experience accumulated in his previous life, and everything had to be fought for by himself.
For example, he knew the outcome of the Battle of Songhu a few years later, but he had no way of knowing which person said and did what during this period.
Relying only on the decisions made by those important figures recorded in history and the trend of events will not have any impact on the overall situation, let alone turn things around.
For another example, Liu Cheng knew the specific time of the Nanjing Massacre, but why did he change it? Go straight to Lao Jiang? Let's not talk about whether you can come back alive, even if you can see Lao Jiang, you have to draw a big question mark first!
Therefore, what kind of ability is not the most important, dormant development and waiting for opportunities are what Liu Cheng should do now.
A week later, Huinan County, Qianjiashan Village.
The division headquarters of the Independent Division of the First Army of the Northeast People's Revolutionary Army was set up here.
Under the leadership of Zhang Guanyi, the number of independent divisions had increased to 1,200 people, and they were scattered around the former Jiashan Village.
At this time, in Zhang Guanyi's house, Duan Jinghe, who had just rushed back, was drinking water with a tea jar.
Zhang Guanyi sat calmly on a somewhat broken chair, watching Duan Jinghe drink two catties of cool white open in the jar in one gulp.
Putting down the tea jar, Duan Jinghe wiped his mouth, sat down opposite Zhang Guanyi, and said in a low voice:
"Commander, that kid Liu Cheng is really good, just glanced at the letter, and immediately realized that there was a problem."
Zhang Guanyi nodded lightly:
"What did he say?"
The smile on Duan Jinghe's face instantly froze, and he scratched his scalp and said:
"Nothing, I didn't say anything, just let me tell you, he promised to complete the task."
Zhang Guanyi's eyebrows raised:
"This kid, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
Duan Jinghe waved his hand disappreciatively:
"Hey, teacher, you don't have to fuck that heart, that kid, damn it, he has more hair than a monkey, I think he is the only one who pits people, when have you ever seen him be pitted? It's okay, don't worry. ”
Zhang Guanyi also knew that Liu Cheng was a smart person, but this time it was not as good as before, and the pertinence was too obvious, so he couldn't rest assured.
Sighing, Zhang Guanyi spoke again:
"Old Duan, in your opinion, what is going on with this order?"
Duan Jinghe shook his head:
"How do I know? I guess it's his mother that someone recognized the little devil as a godfather, otherwise how could he do this? But what do we do? You don't have to think about it to know that the intelligence must be true, but it is likely that it is not one squadron waiting for Liu Cheng, but two or even three, which is fucking clear that he wants to kill Liu Cheng! ”
Zhang Guan put down the pen in his hand, slowly stood up, paced in place twice, wanted to open his mouth several times, and finally swallowed it back.
The looming suspicion is called a suspicion, but if the lice on the bald head like this --- are obvious, it cannot be regarded as a suspicion.
This enemy hiding in the shadows is very clever, using the principle that the extremes of things must be opposed.
If things are done so obviously, they will not arouse suspicion, and when the time comes, as long as they take the initiative, they will say that the information is wrong, and no one will be able to say anything.
Moreover, the order was issued by the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, not a certain person, and if something happened, he could not find a target if he wanted to hold him accountable.
In contrast, Liu Cheng is not as worried as Zhang Guanyi.
Qian Lu's movements were very fast, and on the third night after Duan Jinghe left, he sent the raw materials for making gunpowder that Liu Cheng wanted, as well as a set of tools for chemical experiments.
Liu Cheng didn't delay for a moment, and sent those things to Liu Cunshu overnight, asking Han Shaoyuan to hurry up and get some explosives.
Although TNT was developed as early as 1863, Liu Cheng did not know whether Han Shaoyuan could make it under the current conditions.
There are less than twenty days left before the time specified in the mission, and if Han Shaoyuan is asked to specify the required raw materials and equipment, he will not be able to make them together in a short time, so he can only maximize the power of the explosives under the existing conditions.
