Chapter 158: After the Armistice
The next day after Ouyang Jian returned to Yunshui County, he sent a telegram from Xingzi County early in the morning, Su Yu, deputy commander of the corps, and Luo Ronghuan, political commissar, reported that the defensive deployment in eastern Jiangxi had been completed, and Zhang Shiying, chief of staff of the army, led his troops to be stationed in Shangrao, the 13th Division and the 5th Army headquarters were stationed in Jingdezhen under the leadership of Xiao Ke, the 14th Division was stationed in Leping and Wannian on the first line, and the 15th Division was located in Yingtan. The corps headquarters was moved to Xingzi County to sit in command. In addition, Su Yuyu reported that the artillery regiment deployed De'an County to assume the defense of the Jiujiang direction.
After receiving the telegram, Ouyang Jian replied that Su, Luo, and He were temporarily responsible for military affairs, and that in the future, Ouyang Jian would put his main experience in the construction of base areas, the weapons industry, economic development, and many other aspects, and as for military deployment, troop training, defense, and many other matters, Su Yu would be in charge of taking charge of them. Not long after Ouyang Jian called Su Yu back, Chief of Staff He Long walked in and said: "Commander, according to Deputy Commander Su's arrangement, the 17th and 18th Divisions are stationed in Ruichang and De'an counties to defend in the direction of Jiujiang City, the 19th Division is transferred to Tonggu County to garrison in the direction of Hunan, and the 20th Division continues to be stationed in Xiushui County. The cavalry regiment was stationed in Jing'an County, west of Nanchang. ”
"In addition, when you went to Fujian to negotiate, a regiment of the enemy's 2nd Cavalry Division surrendered to Cheng and was requisitioned by the headquarters, and the basic situation is here. Commander, if you have nothing else to do, I will go to the corps headquarters of Xingzi County. "Chief of Staff He, I have discussed with Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan that in the future, the 6th Army will be built into a defensive force, so the weaponry and training must be targeted, and when you get to the corps headquarters, you should familiarize yourself with it, and how to conduct defensive operations should start as soon as possible!" "Please rest assured, Commander, I will humbly learn from them!" After sending He Long away, Ouyang Jian instructed Xiao Ma to find Xie Yang, the leader of the technical detachment of the special combat team. The technical detachment lived in the same courtyard, and it could be seen that Ouyang Jian was going to personally train this special operations detachment.
At present, the 20 members of the special operations detachment are mainly experts in telecommunications, and in the future, the main task of the telecommunications detachment will be to decipher the enemy's code and use telecommunications means to spy on the enemy's intelligence. Before Ouyang Jian returned from Ruijin, he instructed Li Kenong to tap talents in mathematics in Shanghai and Beiping colleges and universities, and set up a code-breaking and listening team, which was very important to Ouyang Jian, so he wanted to build this technical team himself. As for the technical detachment, it is temporarily under the command of the special operations brigade for the purpose of covering up people's eyes and ears.
"Report! Xie Yang came to report, please command, commander! With a loud voice, I saw a young man wearing glasses and about twenty-seven or eighteen years old walk in. This person is Xie Yang, who came to Yunshui County in the middle of last year, and was previously a teaching assistant at Jinling University in Nanjing, mainly teaching mathematics. After Xie Yang came to Yunshui County, he was assigned to work as a mathematics teacher in Yunshui Middle School. Soon Xie Yang made a name for himself in Yunshui Middle School, so Ouyang Jian made a special trip to attend a class. In this way, Xie Yang was transferred by Ouyang Jian to serve as a staff officer of the legion. After the formation of the technical detachment, Xie Yang was appointed as the leader of the technical detachment.
"Captain Xie, have you improved your reporting skills?" "Report to the commander, I have been practicing the technique of receiving and sending telegrams, and at present, the methods of the transmitters of various divisions can already be identified." Xie Yang told the truth. "Listening to enemy radio stations is also the task of the technical detachment, but the main task is to decipher the enemy's code. Abstract number games, not for ordinary people, must have a talent for mathematics, currently Dark Arrow is looking for talents in this area, and your task is to make these talents play to the fullest. ”
"Commander, although the Morse Code may seem simple, it is not easy to decipher," "If it were easy, I wouldn't have bothered so much. Cracking the cipher code is related to the future war against Japan, and its importance is beyond doubt. I've written an outline of what to expect for the next few years, and you'll need to read it carefully. Ouyang Jian took out a material bag from the box, and the front of the material bag was written in bold letters top secret. Remember, this material is not to be read by anyone!" Please rest assured, Commander, I will vouch for my life! ”
In the following days, Ouyang Jian went to Tongluo Village to inspect the combat readiness project and made some plans for the combat readiness project. At present, the number of engineering troops in the entire Jiujiang region has reached 3,000 people, and not only Tongluo Village is under construction, but also the entire western and southwestern mountains of Yunshui County are under planned construction, and there are large-scale ordnance enterprises and important factories in it. These arsenals and important industries, as bases, will support the needs of military supplies for future wars against Japan.
In addition, under the leadership of Mao Zetan, the Jiujiang locality organized migrant workers to speed up the construction of highways extending in all directions in the mountainous areas, and this project was also very huge. It is required that simple caves be dug at intervals on both sides of the highway to facilitate pedestrians and transport vehicles to avoid air raids. Ouyang Jian knew in his heart that the air attack from the Japanese army in the future would be the most terrifying and difficult to prevent, so it was now necessary to exert great efforts to initially form an effective air defense system. Even in wartime, air defense measures must not be slackened, and must be constantly improved according to the needs of war.
On this day, Ouyang Jian was checking the information, and a combat staff officer walked up to him with a telegram in his hand and said, "Report to the commander, the Dark Arrow Headquarters is calling!" Ouyang Jian took the telegram and glanced at it and said, "The guest from Beiping is here today, you can go to the city gate for me to pick it up." "The operational staff officer is a little confused, what kind of distinguished guest makes the commander attach so much importance to it, but the confusion is confused, and the operational staff officer is inconvenient to ask. In view of the fact that Jiangxi is not what it used to be, in the future, the Japanese army's secret services will go all out to infiltrate Jiangxi, and Jiujiang is a military powerhouse, so Ouyang Jian must deploy security work in advance.
To put it bluntly, it is a specialized counter-espionage agency, which was previously undertaken by the dark arrow, but the main responsibility of the dark arrow is to obtain intelligence and spy on intelligence, and its work characteristics belong to the category of special agents, so it is no longer appropriate to let the dark arrow undertake counter-espionage work, so it is urgent to set up a special counter-espionage agency. About an hour later, the combat staff officer brought in a man with a somber face wearing a top hat and long-haired breeches. The man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with small eyes but very bright.
"Report to the commander, Gong Nan came to report," the person who came spoke a standard Beijing accent, which sounded very pleasant. "Comrade Gong Nan, it's been hard along the way!" Ouyang Jian got up and shook hands with the other party. "Commander Ouyang, in Beiping, you are rumored to be amazing, it is said that you have clairvoyance and ears, and you are one foot tall, and some say that you have three heads and six arms." Gong Nan looked at Ouyang Jian carefully without taking his eyes off it, and his expression was extremely capable. "Comrade Miyanami, do you think I'm a monster?" "Commander, I don't believe in the legends either, but you wrote the legend of the Red Army, and it is recognized by the whole world! I've always wanted to see you, and finally got my wish. ”
"Comrade Nangong, we Communists are materialists, don't follow the crowd, at present the anti-espionage work in the Jiujiang area is on the agenda, according to the recommendation of the Beiping underground party, you are quite famous in the criminal investigation of the Beiping Police Department, we urgently need a professional talent, I brought you here." "Commander, I have some experience in criminal investigation, but I'm afraid counter-espionage is difficult." "Okay, don't be modest, your secret arrow has been sent to me, you studied criminal investigation in England, and you admire Sherlock Holmes very much."
"In addition, you have worked in the Beiping Police Department for 10 years, cracked more than a dozen major cases, and are known as the first detective in Beiping. Since you are not used to seeing the darkness of the Kuomintang, and in the summer of 29 years you were developed into a party member by the Beiping underground organization, I am not wrong! "Commander, what you said is not wrong, but the first detective does not dare to be. I heard that it is a great honor to come to Jiangxi to work under you. But I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations. "Comrade Gongnan, after we take control of Jiangxi, we will definitely attract the close attention of the Japanese spy organs."
"Japan's spy agency, the Special High School and the Black Dragon Society, are almost pervasive, and their espionage activities may have already begun. At present, Yunshui County is our core secret, especially the military enterprises, important factories, and war readiness projects. It is necessary to keep secrets and prevent sabotage by enemy agents, so your task is very difficult. Due to the reasons of the campaign, we are very backward in terms of security and counter-espionage work, so it is urgent to set up a special counter-espionage agency to ensure the safety of the Jiujiang base. Tell me about your conditions, and I will try to accommodate you. ”
Gong Nan said unceremoniously: "Commander, I need a tentative number of 30 people in an action team, 30 people in a professional tracking team, and 5 people in a think tank team. "There is no problem, I now officially appoint you as the head of the security department of Yunshui County, you can select personnel in any department to be responsible for the security of important facilities in Yunshui County, as for ordinary criminal cases, do not interfere. I authorize you to mobilize any of the guard forces in the Jiujiang area, remember that you are directly responsible to me, and it is difficult for anyone to understand the orders? "Commander, I understand."
"Comrade Gongnan, the security of the base will be handed over to you, if something goes wrong, I will ask you!" "Commander, I will resolutely carry out my duty." Ouyang Jian smiled, and his tone softened: "Comrade Gong Nan, I was supposed to give you a clean sweep, but I'm too busy with my work, I'm sorry!" "The commander has a lot of opportunities, and this sentence is enough to move me. can be your subordinate, my Nangong is full of this life! "Your security office is located in the courtyard next door, so take a day off when you're tired from the journey."
After Gong Nan left, Ouyang Jian picked up the phone. Putting the right people in the right places is half the success of the goal, and the other half is wisdom, talent and luck. In fact, the most important thing for Ouyang Jian to do is to discover and cultivate talents in the process of development, provide a platform for talented people to display, and create a relaxed environment. The purpose of the concept to be advocated is to imperceptibly influence the majority of people, and then achieve the desired result, and the most convincing thing is the result. When they met in Gongnan, Ouyang Jian concluded that this person would not let him down.
Two days later, the special operations captain Mu Shixiong rushed to Ouyang Jian and said, "Commander, what is the origin of the security chief named Gong Nan?" Someone was actually selected from my special combat team, and you want to choose 5 people and say that it was your order? "It's my order, and you can't stop him no matter who he chooses!" "Isn't it just the selection of security personnel! As for picking people in the special combat team? "The security department set up by Gongnan is actually a specialized counter-espionage agency, and the enemies we face in the future have all been professionally trained and highly intelligent, and ensuring the security of our core secrets is the top priority, and there can be no mistakes at all, understand?"
Seeing Ouyang Jian's decisive attitude, Mu Shixiong had no choice but to leave in a huff. At this time, the phone rang, Ouyang Jian picked up the phone and listened carefully for a while, then put down the phone and said to the guard Xiaoma: "Let's go to the field hospital, and we will eat there at noon!" "At present, telephone communication in Yunshui County has formed a scale, which has reduced intermediate links for Ouyang Jian's instructions to every important department. To this end, Ouyang Jian instructed Gao Guoying, who was in Wuhan, to set up a set of telephone program-controlled exchanges in Shanghai.
At present, Gao Guoying's business is getting bigger and bigger, and its tentacles have extended to Nanjing and Shanghai, and he is constantly transfusing blood to the base areas. In the next step, Ouyang Jian plans to make Gao Guoying the largest agent, and strive to sell the industrial products and daily necessities produced in Yunshui County to the north and even further west. Future development requires a lot of capital, and it is imperative to open up financial resources.
