Around the beginning of July, Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, Song Shiqiang, and others arrived in Yunshui County, during which they were detained by an armed landlord and placed under house arrest for more than 20 days. After Su Yu and his entourage arrived in Yunshui County, Ouyang Jian and his men had already set out on the expedition, so they did not meet each other. A few days after Li Guangda sat in Yunshui County, Mao Zetan returned from Meiling, and Li Guangda reported Ouyang Jian's action plan in detail to Mao Zetan and handed him a letter.

Although Mao Zetan was a little worried, in view of his trust in Ouyang Jian, he still appreciated such a bold plan. However, what made him even more worried was Li Guangda's report that the military headquarters of the Red Fourth Army had sent a telegram in early June that Su Yu and others had already set off. But more than a month has passed, and there has been no news, so it stands to reason that it should have arrived a long time ago. Waiting so anxiously made it difficult for Mao Zetan to sleep.

The military headquarters had demanded that no matter what the circumstances, the secret detachment could not take the initiative to contact the military headquarters of the Red Fourth Army, but could only contact the military headquarters and the secret detachment. Therefore, Mao Zetan was unable to use the radio station to understand the situation. In fact, Mao Zetan did not know that because the Hunan Provincial Party Committee seriously interfered with military command, resulting in military passivity, the enemy army was heavily encircled and suppressed, and the Red Fourth Army entered a difficult period at this time. Even if I wanted to use the radio, I couldn't get in touch.

Tan Song's work is very busy and he is hardly at home. In order to closely cooperate with Ouyang Jian's operation, he has been active in the De'an County area. Su Yu and his entourage arrived smoothly without danger, and Mao Zetan's hanging heart finally let go, and at this moment, Mao Zetan knew the difficulty and importance of Ouyang Jian as the chief officer. In a private room in the White Crane Tower, after Mao Zetan confirmed everyone's identities, he shook hands with each other and said sincerely: "You have finally arrived home safely, everyone has worked hard all the way, and now the secret detachment is expanding, and what is lacking is military cadres, welcome to your arrival." ”。

Mao Zetan took the opportunity to introduce Li Guangda, and the three of them raised their hands to salute Li Guangda. Mao Zetan continued: "According to the appointment of the military department, the secret detachment was expanded into the 4th, 5th, and 6th detachments, with Comrade Su Yu as the captain of the 4th detachment, Comrade Luo Ronghuan as the captain of the 5th detachment, and Comrade Song Renqiang as the commander of the 6th detachment. At present, Captain Ouyang is leading his troops to De'an County to carry out a mission. "What mission?" Song Ren couldn't help but ask curiously. Song Ren is tall and slender, 19 years old this year, with a square face and a wide mouth, and very protruding cheekbones, and at first glance he is a person with an exposed personality.

"Bandits!" "It seems that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes!" Su Yu smiled and shook his head. Su Yu is 21 years old, of medium height, with a pair of deep-set eyes and distinctive features. Luo Ronghuan is of moderate stature, 26 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, facing the honest and honest, looking old and serious, and has been silent since they met. Li Guangda said: "Comrades, Captain Ouyang led his troops to suppress bandits, not forced to be helpless, but a part of the overall plan, you listen to me to explain ······ in detail." The plan was so well planned that the three of them were amazed by the fascination. After a long time, Luo Ronghuan said: "No wonder the military department attaches so much importance to the secret detachment, Captain Ouyang is really intelligent, this person is not simple!" ”

"How many people are there in the secret detachment now?" Su Yu asked. "The security regiment has an open quota of less than 300 people, and there are about 300 people in the secret base of Tongluozhai at present, not long ago, political commissar Mao went to Yongxiu County and incorporated a peasant riot team with more than 200 personnel, and this peasant riot squad is currently being pulled to the Meiling base for training." Li Guangda's thinking is as clear as a treasure. "Causeway Village, Meiling?" The three of them spoke in unison. Li Guangda smiled and briefly introduced the situation in Tongluo Village and Meiling. When the three of them heard this, their blood boiled, and when they sighed, they sincerely admired Ouyang Jian's courage and strategy.

"But we have too few troops!" Su Yu didn't seem satisfied. "Comrade Su Yu, if you had understood this unit, especially Captain Ouyang's thoughts, you wouldn't have said that!" Mao Zetan smiled slyly. "What kind of dumb riddle does Commissar Mao play, why is this?" "This question must be explained clearly by Captain Ouyang. At present, the troops are suppressing bandits in De'an County, you should first familiarize yourself with the situation here, and then take a good rest, and tomorrow I will take you to visit Tongluo Village to see how the recruits are trained. ”

Among the three people, Luo Ronghuan was older, and after listening to the introduction of the troops and Ouyang Jian's measures, he found a problem.

Back at the security team department, Li Guangda brought the military training syllabus to them to read, and Luo Ronghuan said: "The purpose of the reorganization of Committee Mao in Sanwan is to strengthen the party's leadership in the army, but the officers of the Whampoa department seem to be not very enthusiastic, thinking that politics and military are two different things. However, this Ouyang is also from the Whampoa department, and he did not expect that he would very much agree with Commissar Mao's proposition and vigorously advocate the party's dominant position in the army. No wonder before we set off, Committee Member Mao specially instructed and said that Ouyang Jian was a rare talent. Luo Ronghuan and Song Renqiang participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, so they guessed the reason why Commissar Mao appreciated Ouyang Jian.

"Brother Luo, although I am from the 28th Regiment, I also agree with the party's leading position in the army, especially for improving the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops." Su Yu was sensitive and hurriedly expressed his attitude. "Take a quick look at this training syllabus, Captain Ouyang is worthy of being an elite of Huangpu, and the training plan is highly targeted and simple and practical." The youngest Song Renqiang couldn't help but praise loudly. Su Yu and Luo Ronghuan were attracted and hurriedly came over to check.

The next day, the three of them happily went to visit Tongluo Village. Witnessing the hot training ground and seeing the recruits alive and well, I couldn't help but be eager to try. In particular, a slogan on the training ground is very eye-catching: Save yourself, destroy the enemy! Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, and be ready at all times.

Standing in front of the slogan, the three of them were full of excitement and couldn't help but boil their blood. The slogan is new and simple, clear and practical, and accessible to all. Seeing the soldiers' ferocious assassination training, Su Yu said excitedly: "The training should be combined with actual combat, and it must be bloody." Do you still remember the words in the training syllabus, that we should despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and not fight a battle for which we are uncertain or unprepared? "Commissar Mao's guerrilla tactics have also been written into the training syllabus, the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and we disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. The young Song Renqiao went directly to the training ground to observe.

The new military training method is unheard of, and Su Yu, Luo Ronghuan, and Song Renqiang simply stayed in Tongluo Village, which is a rare opportunity. They and the soldiers were engaged in military training in full swing. Enjoy the benefits of advanced training methods while appreciating the essence of the training syllabus. Soon more than a month passed, and the three of them were tanned in the wind and rain, and their bodies were much stronger. In mid-August, Mao Zetan came to Tongluo Village again, followed by a man in a strong suit. "Let me introduce to you, this is Mu Shixiong, the captain of the special operations team of the secret detachment."

Saluting and greeting each other, Song Renqiang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Special combat team? How many people! "There used to be 4 people, now there are only 2 people! The other two went to Jinggangshan a few months ago and were left behind, in the 28th regiment. Mu Shixiong told the truth. Su Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "I heard that there is a pair of sharpshooter father and son in the 3rd battalion, and it turns out that they are members of the special combat team under Captain Ouyang, so Captain Mu is even more amazing. "Brother, compared to Captain Ouyang, I'm far behind. The captain of the group can use a sniper rifle to do 500 meters without missing a shot! I can't. "500 meters?" All three exclaimed almost at the same time.

Mu Shixiong was entangled by 3 people, and a series of questions were like a series of cannons. Mao Zetan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, not for a while, the secret about Captain Ouyang will be known in the future." I'll tell you a better news, Captain Ouyang led his troops to brilliantly recruit the old fox, and the recruited men and horses arrived at Tongluo Village this afternoon. "Great, I can finally meet Captain Ouyang." "Captain Ouyang can't come back for the time being, he wants to live in De'an County for a while. However, he sent a message welcoming the three of you to the secret detachment. ”

The wait was difficult, and in the expectation of everyone, sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Feng led a large team of people to arrive at Tongluo Village, and everyone met and set off a wave.

Mao Zetan warmly shook Shangguan Fei's hand and said, "Comrade Shangguan Fei, welcome you to join the revolutionary ranks, and I welcome you on behalf of the Yunshui County Secret Detachment." "You are the Communist Party?" Shangguan Yun was taken aback. "Yes, we are a secret detachment led by the Communist Party, a team of poor people." "Could it be that Captain Ouyang is also one of your people?" Shangguan Yun had a surprised expression on his face. "Girl, what you said is not wrong, Ouyang Jian's public identity is the head of the Yunshui County Security Corps, and his real identity is the captain of the secret detachment of the Red Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army!" "No wonder! We don't complain when we lose. Shangguan Fei sighed. Shangguan Yun's face was a little flushed: Could it be that this is the will of heaven, I met an enemy.

"Comrade Shangguan Fei, Comrade Ouyang Jian has decided to appoint you as the quartermaster of the secret detachment!" Seeing that Shangguan Yun was a little hesitant, Shangguan Yun was anxious, "Dad!" You're talking! Shangguan Yun nodded. Mu Shixiong took a step forward and said, "Your name is Shangguan Yun!" "If this girl doesn't change her name or her surname, what do you want to do?" Mu Shixiong's unrestrained smile and his expression were a little gloomy, which made Shangguan Yun disgusted. "Please come with me!" "What are you going for?" "I am the captain of the secret detachment special combat team, and Captain Ouyang approved you to join the special combat team!" "What does the special operations team do?"

"Carry out special combat missions, such as catching spies, long-range sniping, sneak attacks, etc." Shangguan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I'm willing to join the special combat team!" "Please come with me!" "Wait, isn't it necessary for a special combat team with good marksmanship?" "Is this the bare minimum?" Mu Shixiong stopped and still didn't smile. "Brother Zhanshan, come here!" A sleek man ran over, "Captain, his marksmanship is better than mine!" Mu Shixiong looked at this person: "I gave permission to go together." The reception scene was warm and warm, this collective was full of a different atmosphere and strong friendship, and the officials were deeply touched by the sincerity of the other party, and initially accepted the new identity psychologically.

The blue sky was like a wash, a group of people and horses were walking on the road, Ouyang Jian and Xiao Ke drove side by side, and the guards Pony and Tao Zhu also followed behind on war horses. "Regiment commander, the military department has transferred 3 military cadres, do you really want to go back to see them immediately?" "Su Yu is also from the 28th regiment, are you not familiar with each other?" "I'm in the guard company of the division headquarters, and Su Yu is from the 1st Battalion of the 28th Regiment, and we are not familiar with each other." Luo Ronghuan and Song Renqiang are both from the Autumn Harvest Uprising troops, and I'm afraid Xiao Ke is even less familiar with them. Ouyang Jian secretly thought: Luo Ronghuan and Song Renqiang were brought to Jinggangshan by Runzhi from the Autumn Harvest Uprising, and he would also pay more attention to the secret detachment for this reason.

"There's a squad of police ahead of the report!" A subordinate came to report quickly. Ouyang Jian raised the binoculars to check, and sure enough, there was a team of policemen resting on the side of the road in front of him, and Ouyang Jian found Gou Biao's figure. Gou Biao saw that it was the Yunshui County Security Regiment and immediately ordered all the people to gather, and this guy ran to Ouyang Jian and said: "Report to the head of the regiment, Gou Biao, the chief of the Yunshui County Police, lead the team to return from Jiujiang, and ask Ouyang Regiment Commander to give instructions." ", you're not my subordinate either, what's the instruction? Now that you've met, let's go together! ”

Gou Biao got on the horse to join the team, and touted how brave Ouyang Jian was, and effortlessly put down the bandits, and he would inevitably rise to prominence and have a bright future in the future. Ouyang Jian had no intention of listening to Gou Biao's praise, and Gou Biao continued to talk boringly: "Commander, I met Zhang Shikun in Jiujiang, this guy is sneaky and pretends not to know me, and the fucking dog looks down on people." Ouyang Jian didn't seem to care and secretly thought: "Zhang Shikun is closely monitored, and he won't find anything." The information sent through Wang Xing was all painless news. He went to Jiujiang to report normally.

But where did Ouyang Jian think that Zhang Shikun's trip to Jiujiang would bring him unimaginable trouble in the future.
