After the Battle of Guinan, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army decided to launch a large-scale military operation in June, planning to launch a high-intensity guerrilla operation against the Japanese army. Due to the victory in the Battle of Guinan, it was meaningless for the 1st Corps of the Eighth Route Army to stay in southern Jiangnan, so the headquarters ordered the 1st Corps of the 1st Corps to retreat to Fujian and deploy in southern Fujian. According to intelligence, the Japanese army was preparing to take military action against Vietnam in May, so the headquarters decided to launch an attack on the Shantou area of Guangdong in June.

According to the campaign plan of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the newly formed special forces, including the mountain combat brigade, were assigned to the 1st Corps for operation. After the special forces were formally formed, the special combat teams of each corps were requisitioned and transferred to form special operations brigades (including the mountain and jungle combat units formed by the 1st Corps in the early stage), with a total strength of 6,000 people and three regiments. According to the operational characteristics of the special forces, all are equipped with camouflage combat uniforms. The 1st Regiment is a special operations regiment divided into three brigades: a sniper brigade, an assault brigade, and a fire support brigade. The 2nd and 3rd regiments were mountain and jungle combat units.

According to the appointment of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army: the commander of the special forces is Mu Shixiong, the political commissar Xiao Hua, the chief of staff Deng Guangming, and the director of equipment and training Hao Lei. Hao Yi, head of the special forces special regiment, and Jie Zhenbang, captain of the sniper brigade, ・・・・・・. The special forces are under the direct command of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and coordinate the operations of the field troops according to the requirements of the campaign. According to Songshan, about 10 kilometers northeast of Ruijin, it is a special forces training base, and the functions of the base are basically perfect.

On the southeast side of the foot of Songshan Mountain, there is the Huangsha River flowing in the northeast and southwest, and the scenery is very charming. After Mu Shixiong returned to Ruijin to form a special force, time passed quickly, and it was already half a year. During this period, the original special combat team of the 3rd Corps returned to Ruijin at the end of the year to complete the task of suppressing bandits in Xiangxi. In order to test the comprehensive combat capability of the special forces and further accumulate combat experience, the General Headquarters decided to temporarily assign the special forces to the command of the 1 Corps in this large-scale military operation and to cooperate with the operations of the 1 Corps.

Before the troops were transferred to Fujian, Commander Lin was to inspect and test the results of the comprehensive training of the special forces. On this day, Mu Shixiong, Xiao Hua, and Deng Guangming were discussing the situation of the synthetic exercise, with the purpose of showing the most wonderful results of the exercise to Commander Lin. Several people watched around the sand table, and Chief of Staff Deng Guangming pointed and explained. "Commander Mu!" There was a woman's movement, and I saw Shangguan Yun in a military uniform walk in. Maybe it's because she is a mother of a child, or maybe it's because she's getting older, the charm of a mature woman exuded by Shangguan Yun is very eye-catching.

"Haha, our black goddess is here, and she is far away! There is a long way to go! "Commander Mu, don't you know how to speak, who is the black goddess, how ugly it is!" "I'm sorry for the slip of the tongue, the slip of the tongue, you didn't come to see me, did you! I'll find Hao Yi right away! "Of course I didn't come to see you, you were so ruthless that you let me stay alone for three months!" Shangguan Yun's personality is still pungent, and he has the posture of asking for guilt. Political Commissar Xiao Hua and Chief of Staff Deng Guangming did not know Shangguan Yun, and seeing that she had a special relationship with the commander, they couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, let me introduce that this is Comrade Shangguan Yun, who is currently working in the Military Commission. Comrade Shangguan Yun is also the wife of Commander Hao! Shangguan Yun stepped forward and shook hands generously and said, "Commander Mu, I have accepted a new mission!" Depart in 3 days. "Mu Shixiong understands that Shangguan Yun's identity is special and the tasks she performs are confidential, so it is inconvenient to ask." I'll give Hao Yi 3 days off, and you husband and wife will have a good reunion. "Thank you, Commander Mu! You're busy, I'll go see my father-in-law! ”

"It's very unfortunate that the army wants to add a batch of equipment, and Hao Lei went to the Jiujiang Arsenal to receive equipment!" Mu Shixiong explained. After Shangguan Yun left, political commissar Xiao Hua said: "Commander Mu, there is going to be a drill soon, is it inappropriate to give Commander Hao a holiday?" "Political commissar, I'm afraid it will take a long time for Mrs. Hao to leave, and even their husband and wife won't be able to see each other for a few years. There is no problem with the deputy head of the drill to lead, so make an exception. "There is no doubt that Mrs. Hao is on a special mission, and they have no right to know,Mu Shixiong picked up the phone ・・・・・・.

In front of a dormitory at the base, Hao handed over his horse to the guards and hurriedly rushed into the house. After the husband and wife made love, Shangguan Yun leaned her head on her husband's strong chest, as if she was still unsatisfied. "Madam, the commander specially granted me a 3-day vacation, and you fought for it." "I don't have that right, this time I'm going on a new mission and I'm going to leave in three days." "Is it a long-term mission?" Hao Yi knew that he had no right to know the inside story. Shangguan Yun nodded silently.

The husband and wife warmed up for a while, Shangguan Yun said: "In the past two days, we have been with our daughter more, maybe my daughter won't know me when I come back." Soon, the husband and wife rode together on a war horse and headed for Ruijin City. Their daughter is 3 years old in the Ruijin Military Commission Kindergarten. At present, in the kindergarten of the Military Commission, many children like them are placed in the kindergarten and receive special care. The war horse was galloping, Shangguan Yun was only the waist of the landlord's husband, and a trace of sorrow came to his heart.

Shangguan Yun knew in his heart that this time the husband and wife were separated, and the task was not only dangerous but also long, and I was afraid that we would have to wait until after the victory. Maybe after the victory, they will all be killed. Especially this mission is to go to the north, thousands of kilometers away, but Shangguan Yun can't say that this kind of ordeal is very torturous. Therefore, we should take advantage of these two short days to fulfill our responsibilities as wives and mothers and give ourselves unreservedly to ・・・・・・ husbands and daughters.

The next day, dozens of war horses entered the special forces training base. The horses' hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, and the commander of the 1st Corps, Lin Nimble, dismounted. Mu Shixiong, Xiao Hua, and Deng Guangming stepped forward to greet them. "Report to Commander Lin, the commander of the special forces, Mu Shixiong, is waiting here for the head of Weilin, please instruct!" Lin smiled slightly and asked, "Commander Mu, you're all ready!" "Ready!" "Then let's wait for it to start!" Lin has always been concise and has no superfluous courtesies, and Mu Shixiong accompanied Lin to inspect the special forces synthesis exercise.

After a morning of combined exercises, the capabilities of the special regiment and jungle and mountain combat units have been markedly enhanced. The Mountain Jungle Combat Force was the unit that Ouyang Jian helped Lin set up at the beginning, so Lin had a lot of affection for this force. At noon, Mu Shixiong set up a banquet to entertain Lin, "Commander Mu, after half a year of integration, the combat effectiveness of the special forces and the comprehensive exercise have achieved remarkable results, especially the offensive efficiency has been greatly improved. You are worthy of being a disciple of Chief of General Staff Ouyang, and I am very satisfied. ”

"Commander Lin, what is our next mission, can you reveal some information?" Political Commissar Xiao Hua asked. "The Military Commission will hold an operational meeting in May, and you will be clear after the military meeting, and now I can't disclose the news." Mu Shixiong said: "Commander Lin, let the special forces participate in the war, is it a substitute for training?" "This is the purpose of the Military Commission, you guys prepare it, and set off in three days, and the destination is Yongding in southern Fujian."

In the afternoon, Lin visited the officers and men of the unit and left. That night, Mu Shixiong ordered the troops to stop training, and all units were ready to go. In the evening, Mu Shixiong, political commissar Xiao Hua, and chief of staff Deng Guangming had a drink. At noon, Lin Di's wine was not sticky, and they didn't dare to drink. After a few glasses of wine, Chief of Staff Deng Guangming said: "Commander Mu, Minister Hao went to the Jiujiang Arsenal, what equipment did he accept?" "yes, why is there no information at all?" Political commissar Xiao Hua was also confused.

Mu Shixiong said: "I don't know if it's not the two, but this time all the grenadiers will be confiscated, and it is estimated that the new weapon has the combat effectiveness of the grenadier canister, as for what weapon, we know if it is shipped back." It is estimated that the number of this new weapon will not be too much, and I am afraid that its performance will be examined through this actual combat test before it can finally be finalized. "It makes sense, it's useless for us to bother with our brains, come and drink!" Chief of Staff Deng Guangming raised his glass.

Political Commissar Xiao Hua said: "Pull us to Yongding, Fujian, presumably to use troops in Guangdong, and the headquarters must be a large-scale operation this time!" "I heard that the 1st Corps and the 1st Army were also transferred back to Fujian, and the scale must be not small." Chief of Staff Deng Guangming guessed. "You two have been in the first corps, haven't you been able to hold it back for a long time?" Mu Shixiong teased. "Don't mention it, you can't experience that feeling when you see the brother troops fighting heartily." "In the past few years, in addition to study, training is also training, and almost all cadres above the battalion level in our first regiment have been trained."

Xiao Hua continued: "However, after systematic training, we have a deeper understanding of modern warfare, and we are more familiar with the tactical characteristics and command methods of the Japanese army, and we have indeed gained something." "I've heard that you two are devoted to special operations research, and you have done well." "Commander Mu, otherwise, the two of us would not have been able to enter the special forces, and we were completely unintentional." Chief of Staff Deng Guangming was a little happy.

Political commissar, chief of staff, I analyzed that the terrain and landform in eastern Guangdong are mountainous, and the headquarters has asked us to train in combat because we have taken into account the characteristics of our operations. As far as I know, the Japanese troops stationed in Shantou were the Kumamoto Division, which was ・・・・・. Mu Shixiong gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Kumamoto Division. Commander Mu, how did you know that the situation of the Kumamoto Division is so detailed? Xiao Hua was confused. Because he knew in his heart that only the commander of the corps was qualified to know such confidential information.

Mu Shixiong smiled and said: "You probably forgot, what is called the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to ink!" The two suddenly realized that Chief of Staff Deng Guangming laughed at himself: "In the future, when we are by your side, we can also touch the immortal spirit of Chief of General Staff Ouyang." Commander Mu, according to the information you introduced, I will immediately start studying the Kumamoto Division of the Japanese Army, so that I know myself and the enemy! "I suggest that officers above the battalion level should understand the opponent in the future, which will greatly benefit us in ・・・・・・ battle."
