[102] There are no secrets

Air Force Commander Liu Yuelou put down the phone and felt that this matter was very important, and this battle was not trivial. He knows very well the strength of the new Chinese Navy, and the starting point is the same as that of the Air Force. Now that the only main battleship has gone on the expedition, whoever is the commander will be the commander will be restless at the moment.

However, the navy's warships could not but be sent out, seeing that the naval battle had begun, the Kuomintang navy would inevitably mobilize warships to come to reinforce it, and if it could use this reinforcement operation to severely damage Lao Chiang's navy, then it would be an extremely important and crucial battle for the liberation of the Zhoushan Islands and the blockade of Lao Chiang for the Yangtze River estuary and even the entire southeast coast of China.

In the early stage of the reconquest operation, although our PLA continued to take one island after another, under the bombing of the enemy's air force and the blockade of the fleet's artillery attack, every victory in the battle was won by comrades with their blood and lives. Again and again, our small wooden boats took advantage of the dense fog and the cover of night to launch attacks on the islands, and once they were discovered by enemy fleets and planes, the losses were much greater than in the field battles on the mainland.

The early stage of the liberation campaign of Zhoushan Islands was relatively smooth, but the battle of Dengbu Island was extremely tragic, and our army annihilated 3,396 Kuomintang reactionary troops in this battle, and the casualties were as high as 1,488. This battle loss ratio is about the same as our army's assault on the fortress of the city. In particular, considering that our army has sent valuable elites who have been tested for a long time, who are brave and good at fighting, and who have a firm and tenacious revolutionary will, it is really painful for the commanders to exchange this battle loss ratio of the field army for the Kuomintang reactionary troops.

Because the sea was blocked by enemy ships, the air was bombed by the enemy, and the ships of the landing force were completely destroyed. The backup could not go up, the supply could not go up, and in the end, after a hard battle, Dengbu Island was not taken. Fortunately, the commanders cleverly organized other troops to feint and deter the enemy from turning to the defensive, and only then did the vanguard troops with heavy casualties be transported down in small boats. Otherwise, there is a high risk of institutional losses such as the Battle of Kinmen. After the Battle of Dengbu Island in November 1949, the central government decided to temporarily suspend the operation of seizing the island of Zhoushan Islands, and instead conducted training and recuperation, preparing to launch another attack after full preparation by the end of March 1950.

Historically, our army held a campaign deployment meeting at the end of March, and in view of the fact that the Kuomintang had strengthened its fortifications on the island, increased the deployment of troops, imposed a tighter blockade on the sea, and frantically bombed the Nanjing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area with its air force, the command headquarters decided to postpone the offensive a little further and postpone it to June, so that the troops could carry out more adequate preparations and training.

The more Commander Liu Yuelou, who was staying in Puhai at this moment to inspect the training of the 1st Air Regiment, felt that this battle was of great importance, and if it was successfully fought, the Kuomintang army might be afraid that it would not be able to continue its superiority at sea, so it would have to shrink strategically or even abandon these coastal islands.

Commander Liu immediately ordered the East China Air Force Command to convene an emergency meeting and at the same time report the situation to the Central Military Authority.

The black Ford car assigned to Xiaoqiang by the organization slowly drove all the way to the Beijing Film Studio in the wind and snow in the northern capital, and stopped outside the gate of the dormitory building where Meng Sisi lived. Xiaoqiang got out of the car and took out the black plastic bag that had been prepared for the gift from the suitcase, and went upstairs to knock on the door. As a result, Meng Sisi was not at home, so Xiaoqiang went downstairs and returned to the car, he picked up the down coat on the back seat of the car and wrapped himself tightly, and the whole person was crooked in the back seat and stared.

It took about an hour.

"Chief, chief, wake up."

Xiaoqiang sat up in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

The driver, Liu Zhen, said with a smile: "The girl you are looking for is back, chief, and I saw her go upstairs." ”

Xiaoqiang's eyes widened, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and say, "How do you know which girl I'm looking for?" ”

Liu Zhen said embarrassedly: "Last time, I kept watch downstairs with the comrades of the security department all night, and in the morning the girl sent the chief out, and I saw it." ”

"Hey, Lao Liu, why didn't I see you that day?"

Liu Zhen said: "I was in a car of the Central Security Department, and I was following your car behind, and the head of the Central Security Department told me to follow you anytime and anywhere to protect your safety." If you go out on your own, I'll have to follow you in the guard's car. ”

Xiaoqiang looked at Liu Zhen and said calmly: "Lao Liu, tell me the truth, is there someone following me wherever I go now?" ”

Liu Zhen said proudly: "Of course, your level is high, and the order given to us by the head of the security department is to protect your safety at all costs." If you look at the car parked at the intersection in front of you, and the car at the intersection behind, I can recognize that they are all cars from the security department. ”

Xiaoqiang's face is black, and everyone knows that he left early from work and sneaked out to fall in love, how will Ben Luthor see people in the future.

Xiao Qiang asked with some hesitation: "Liu Zhen, do you say that Dr. Yu knows that I was here with Meng Sisi that night...... Don't get me wrong, I'm in love with Meng Sisi, and I want to marry her...... I mean, Meng Sisi and I are pure...... Actually, I mean, it's not good to get out there, you didn't tell them at home, did you? ”

Liu Zhen finally understood Xiaoqiang's somewhat incoherent words: "Don't worry, chief, according to the regulations, all your actions are confidential, and according to the organizational discipline, I didn't say anything." My Lao Liu is also a driver from the intelligence department, and I understand this rule. ”

Xiaoqiang's head immediately grew when he heard this: "Lao Liu, where is your working relationship now?" ”

"Of course my work relationship is still in the intelligence department? I was seconded to the Secretariat to drive for you in accordance with Minister Li's order, and I used to be Minister Li's driver. Liu Zhen said.

Xiaoqiang was a little bit of a broken jar, and asked directly: "Then does my dad already know about my relationship with Meng Sisi?" ”

Liu Zhen said with a smile: "According to the regulations, all your actions can only be reported to Minister Li, and Minister Li said this, so there is no need to keep it secret from you." Don't worry, the old man is not angry. ”

Xiao Qiang said in his heart, "It's okay, otherwise my image in the courtyard is estimated to be completely ruined." As for Minister Li, you know it, you don't have to hide it, anyway, under the nose of this old man, even if you want to hide it, you will definitely not be able to do it. ”

As the saying goes, "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water". Xiaoqiang didn't have to be a thief to sneak around, he directly got out of the car with a big grin, swaggered upstairs again, and knocked on Meng Sisi's dormitory door.
