Chapter 33: The Vaulting Horse on the Chessboard (Supplemental Edition)
Now, Liu Yan brought up the old matter again, Tang Jinshan was naturally embarrassed and annoyed again, of course, like the last time he read the Communist Party's newspaper, he did not burst into a rage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes!" Tang Jinshan held his chin at this time, his expression was a little sad, "People are qualified to laugh at us now." But we have to plan for the worst for the capture of the Lin River, and now, the 74th Army no longer exists
The difference between male and female soldiers, combatants and non-combatants! Each of us must be prepared to fight the Communists with bayonets. Captain Liu Yan, do you dare to pick up your gun and charge when the time comes? β
"Me?" Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, the flush on her face was intertwined with her lipstick. She looked at the three bars on her epaulettes, hesitated for a moment, and the two high heels that had been split just now "snapped" together again, "I am a soldier, and a soldier is ready to sacrifice at any time!" β
A smile appeared on Tang Jinshan's pale face, "Very good, thank you." Then, he smiled bitterly at Xu Li and said: "Miss Xu, you are going to write a news report, you have seen the real situation, how to write about the battle of Linhe, I have no right to intervene." If you want to scold me, you can scold me, as long as your president agrees. β
Xu Li smiled, "How does the general evaluate the **** on the other side?" β
"This is a very strong opponent!" Tang Jinshan shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "In the words of the Communist Party, this is a long-tested, heroic and warlike old army. According to the Communist Party's materials, the ministry was born in the Nanchang riot led by ******, and went to Jinggangshan with Zhu De, fought guerrilla warfare with ******, walked through 25,000, and fought at Pingxingguan. The number of the unit has changed several times, and the current number is the so-called 'First Division of the Jianghuai People's Liberation Army'. Division commander Chang Ge, a brave general. Political Commissar Luo Zhiping is a veteran party member who joined the party 27 years ago, and he also serves as the political commissar of the so-called Jianghuai People's Liberation Army. The 1st Division now has two brigades under its command......"
"Wait," Xu Li, who was recording, interjected and asked, "You just said that the **** First Division participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan, but as far as I know, Jianghuai **** was reorganized from the Jianghuai Military Region of the New Fourth Army, and the Battle of Pingxingguan was fought by the Eighth Route Army, what is going on?" β
Tang Jinshan explained with a smile that as early as the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Communist Party had a great strategic intention to connect the **** of the whole country. At the end of 1938, the Communist Party sent a large number of Eighth Route Army from Shanxi to Jizhong and Shandong to join the local Communist forces. In 1940, the Eighth Route Army moved southeast from Shandong, crossed the Longhai Road, and joined the New Fourth Army in the south. After the Southern Anhui Incident in 1941, in order to compete for the name of the New Fourth Army, the Communist Party renamed all the Eighth Route Army south of Longhai Road as the New Fourth Army.
"Oh, that's it." Xu Li changed the subject, "General, I want to go to the front line to interview front-line officers and soldiers, is it okay?" β
"You'd better not go," Tang Jinshan waved his hand, "Bullets don't have eyes, you have to pay attention to safety." β
Xu Li smiled, "General, as far as I know, there are many female soldiers in your army, such as this Miss Liu, and-"
"Report!" A crisp voice interrupted Xu Li's speech.
"Come in." Tang Jinshan turned around and responded.
A female soldier in her early twenties, tall and slender, with a melon seed face, wavy perm draped over her shoulders and a briefcase under her armpits, walked in. Seeing her come in, Xu Li grabbed the topic again, "There is also this lieutenant confidential Miss Chen Shuxiang, and other female soldiers, according to your decision just now, they will directly pick up weapons and attack the ****'s position." They are in danger at all times as they move through the rain of bullets. If you're worried about my safety, aren't you worried about their safety? You also said just now, I am also a member of the 74th Army, so I should also pick up a gun and fight with the **** with a bayonet like them. β
Tang Jinshan waved his hand lightly, "They are different from you. β
It turns out that Xu Li's military rank is different from Liu Yan and Chen Shuxiang, although they are both ranks, they belong to two categories. Liu Yan and Chen Shuxiang belong to the servicemen, and their names and ranks, along with their ranks, must be stored in the files of the active-duty officers of the Jiangbei Xingying Battalion, a military organ at the next higher level, and the Jiangbei Xingying Battalion will issue their salaries and other benefits according to the files. Although Xu Li has a military rank, he does not belong to the active military and belongs to the civilian position. The military agency that issued the rank only kept an empty appointment order in the file, and Xu Li did not receive a salary from the military agency, and her salary was still paid by the Central News Agency. Therefore, Tang Jinshan can ask Liu Yan, an active-duty soldier, to prepare to pick up a gun and go directly to the charge, but he can't make the same request to Xu Li, a civilian worker.
At this moment, Tang Jinshan no longer paid attention to Xu Li, got up and walked towards Chen Shuxiang, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Shuxiang took out a telegram from his briefcase, "Chief Chen has called to ask about the battle situation in Linhe. β
Tang Jinshan took the telegram, didn't even look at it, threw it on the table, tilted his head and said: "Tell Chief Chen that our army is advancing steadily, and the advance has approached the embankment of the Lin River. β
Chen Shuxiang copied the draft of the telegram and gave the folder and pen to Tang Jinshan, who took the pen and scribbled his name on the folder.
"Miss Xu, I'm tired, I want to stay alone for a while, you can go." Tang Jinshan yawned and rubbed his temples.
"Miss Xu, please." Liu Yan waved his hand, and Xu Li had to stand up reluctantly, close the notebook, and go out with Liu Yan and Chen Shuxiang.
When the three of them came to the courtyard, Liu Yan took out a rectangular powder cartridge from his pocket, opened the lid, took out a lipstick pencil and put lipstick on his lips. Xu Li noticed that a small mirror was installed in the lid of her compact, and a one-inch black-and-white photo was pasted next to the mirror, which was a half-length photo of a man in a suit.
"Miss Liu, is this your boyfriend?" Xu Li asked with a smile.
Liu Yan's face turned a little red, and he quickly closed the powder box and received it in his pocket, "No! He's a big star, Mr. Feng Tao, but I really wish he was my boyfriend. It's a pity that he mysteriously disappeared three years ago! β
"Oh? So, you're honey? Xu Li still had a smile on his face.
Liu Yan's eyes widened, "You, how do you know about honey?" β
Xu Li laughed, "Who doesn't know the big star Feng Tao?" He acted in dramas and movies, and he acted well, and there were many theater fans. Feng Tao's drama fans and movie fans, referred to as Feng fans, don't homophonies become honey? β
Chen Shuxiang also patted Xu Li on the shoulder with a smile, "Big reporter, I won't tell you, I'm also honey." What about you? β
Xu Li was obviously not interested in this old criminal case, and rolled his eyelids, "I've seen his play, but this is already in the past." I wasn't fascinated by him then, but now, hum. β
At this time, a tall officer wearing two plum blossoms on his epaulettes walked into the courtyard, and Liu Yan and Chen Shuxiang hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Two young ladies, don't be polite." The officer returned the salute and said with a smile: "You are a senior official!" β
Liu Yan also said with a smile, "Battalion Commander Zhang, you are a lieutenant colonel, and we are all lieutenants, and if you don't salute, you will mess up the rules." β
"You are Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lijiang, the commander of the special service battalion," Xu Li said with a smile on his face, and immediately seized a new opportunity for an interview. "I am Xu Li, a reporter from the Central News Agency, I have seen your photo in the Central Daily, and you have made many achievements during the Anti-Japanese War. In October of this year, you played a leading role in the battle to recover Chuzhou. In this battle of the Lynn River, will you make new contributions? β
"Ah, what's this......" Zhang Lijiang found that this seemingly simple topic was actually not easy to answer, he rolled his small eyes, and played a diplomatic rhetoric with a smile: "Soldiers always think about meritorious service. Then, he quickly turned and went up to the lobby.
Chen Shuxiang pulled Xu Li, who still wanted to ask, "Don't ask, let's go." β
Liu Yan also said: "There are a lot of stalls on the street outside, Miss Chen and I happen to be free now, and I want to call Miss Tian to see the excitement." If he doesn't want to go, let's go together. β
Xu Li did not object. Then, the three of them walked out of the front yard together.
After Zhang Lijiang entered the door, Tang Jinshan waved his hand at him and motioned for him to approach the table. "In the battle of Linhe, we suffered losses and suffered from hard encounters. In the past, we always thought that **** would only fight guerrillas, not hard battles, but judging from these few battles, they were also very good at fighting tough battles. Therefore, we have to change our tactics, stop hitting hard, and choose the weak link as a breakthrough, and insert it all at once, causing him to die! As he spoke, he clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, and the sound was especially loud in this quiet room.
"So where is the weak link? I studied it carefully, and hereβ" he said, pointing to the "black mud pond" marked on the map, "here the rivers are crisscrossed, the ponds are dense, and there are large swamps, and the terrain is very complicated, which is not conducive to the movement of large troops. Therefore, in these two battles of the Lin River, we did not attack here. Because of this, **** has not been fortified here. Now I have decided to form an assault team composed of the special service battalion of the military headquarters and the 153rd regiment, pass through the black mud pond, go straight to Linhe City, and gather **** under Linhe City. The operation was codenamed the vaulting horse on the chessboard. β
Speaking of this, a hint of pride flashed on Tang Jinshan's face, "Battalion Commander Zhang, the special agent battalion is the vanguard and sharp knife of this operation, and the success or failure depends on you." In order to ensure success, I am in the highest level of secrecy, and now only you and I know the deployment of the operation. After a while, Commander Yu is here, and he will be the third person to know. Battalion Commander Zhang, you should pay attention to the fact that the troops will announce the content of the operation after they arrive at Wunitang. Before you reach Linhe City, you are not allowed to reveal your whereabouts, and you must keep the radio silent, understand? β
"Understood!" Zhang Lijiang put his feet together, and then blinked again, "Maybe I'm nervous, when the little lady surnamed Xu asked me just now, I always felt like she was playing tricks on my mouth?" β
"Oh?" Tang Jinshan rolled his eyes, and then smiled. "You're too careful. You didn't even know what I was looking for you for? That little lady tightens her, what can she do? What's more, the reporter's questioning is also digging up news clues. Since it's a wow news clue, of course, I will inevitably have to take your words. Alright, let's do it! β
Tang Jinshan felt his hands tremble violently when he shook hands with Zhang Lijiang, and he understood that he was taking a risk.
During the first attack on Linhe, the special service company of the 57th Division under the 74th Army organized a commando team of more than 40 people, led by the company commander himself, and launched a strong attack on the 25th. With the fire support of artillery and air force, the assault team occupied the embankment of the Linhe River at dusk, and then approached the south gate of the county seat, and climbed over the city wall to attack the city. Unexpectedly, due to the desperate counterattack of the **** defending the city, the commando team and the follow-up troops were cut off, and the commando team was all killed. At that time, Tang Jinshan had not had time to use the special battalion of the military department, so the **** began to counterattack on the whole line on the night of the 26th, and Tang Jinshan had to order a general retreat.
Now, Tang Jinshan himself feels that the insertion of the military special service battalion into the flank of the communist army is undoubtedly a more risky gamble than the last time the special service company of the 57th Division. If you win the bet, everyone is naturally happy. But what if you lose the bet? At present, the information obtained is that **** is not fortified in Wunitang. But **** warfare has always been elusive, if this intelligence comes from ****'s tactical camouflage, then it means that **** is actually there cleverly arranged an invisible trap, then Zhang Lijiang and his spy battalion are undoubtedly self-defeating, and in the end the whole army is annihilated.
Although the special service battalion's insertion into the black mud pond this time led a huge risk, and if the vaulting operation did not jump well, it was very likely that people would fall on their backs, Tang Jinshan still decided to break the kettle and take a gamble. Because, at the moment, he has no other good cards to play. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on this vaulting operation.
When Zhang Lijiang shook hands with Tang Jinshan, he felt that his heart was beating very fast. He already knew the bad news that the commander of the special service company of the 57th Division was "loyal to the party and the state" in Linhe County in late October, and now this vaulting operation is undoubtedly a return to the old path of the company commander, and if he doesn't do it, he will end up like the company commander. But as a military man, he had no choice. At this time, he is like a pawn crossing the river on the chessboard, there is no way back, he can only move forward, and he can only go to do a dangerous vault. (To be continued.) )
