After listening to the words of the political commissar, Liu Hua was also silent, because it was indeed not someone else's fault. It's because I've been fighting so smoothly that I haven't thought of doing many things, which led to today's consequences.

"Well, commissar, it's all my fault, I was carried away by the victory all this time, and I didn't think of such a simple thing. Chief of Staff, go and show me the situation of several counterintelligence personnel sent down by the headquarters. Let's consider the candidates for the head of the intelligence department of our security department. This must be implemented as soon as possible. Liu Hua turned his head to the chief of staff and said.

Soon, the information about several people was handed over to Liu Hua, the political commissar. "Commander, political commissar, this is the information of several people, especially this one named Qian Zhonghua, who once followed Vice Chairman Zhou to engage in espionage work in Shanghai, and has rich combat experience in counter-espionage. I heard that this person was personally named by Vice Chairman Zhou to be sent to our reading teacher. The chief of staff said, pointing to a piece of paper.

"Well, I have been with Vice Chairman Zhou for a while, and I must have a lot of work experience, this person is good. Commissar, you are a veteran of our Red Army, do you know whether he has in the suppression of rebellion," the commander reminded.

After listening to the commander's questioning, the political commissar who had experienced the purge immediately understood the commander's worries. "Division commander, don't worry, this comrade doesn't have to worry at all." The political commissar said affirmatively.

However, it seems that Liu Hua is still not particularly relieved. "Political commissar, chief of staff, I don't think this will work, in order to prevent the wrongful killing of soldiers and cadres in our reading division, in the future, no matter who commits a military issue, it must be signed by two of the three of us before it can be executed, what do you think?"

"Well, the division commander's idea is very good, so as to reduce the possibility of the soldiers being killed and arrested by mistake as much as possible, not only in our reading division, I think it should be like this in our entire Jindong base area." Political Commissar Guan Xiangying, as a cadre who has experienced the suppression of rebellion, can be said to be very much in favor of the division commander's proposal.

"Okay, since we all agree, in this way, Chief of Staff, arrange a time, when will the several party committees of our division hold a meeting, give this matter down, and send it to all units in the fastest time." Liu Hua clapped his hands and said.

"Chief of Staff, continue to introduce, there are a few other people, do you have any specialties?" Liu Hua asked.

"Okay, division commander, look at this person again," he said, and the chief of staff pulled out a piece of paper from several pieces of paper and placed it in front of the two of them. "Division commander, political commissar, this person's name is Meng Zhongheng, and he is specifically responsible for intelligence work. According to the materials, he used to work in the center. And he has come from the most basic intelligence officer step by step by meritorious service. As for intelligence work, I don't think there is anyone in our base area who is more competent than him. The chief of staff said, pointing to the man's resume.

"Hehe, political commissar, it seems that the origins of these people are not small, hehe. We have made a lot of money this time, since we have such two excellent talents in our base, how can we not use it? Do you say, commissar? At this time, Liu Hua could no longer see the anger just now, but said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the division commander is right, our reading division is definitely not a place to bury talents, chief of staff, go, notify Qian Zhonghua and Meng Zhongheng to report to the headquarters." The commissar said to the chief of staff.

"Report, Qian Zhonghua was ordered to come to report Meng Zhongheng came to report" After a while, the voice came to mind at the door. Several people turned their heads to look at the door, one was wearing glasses and had a strong bookish atmosphere, and the other was very ordinary, as if he would never find it again if he left it in the crowd.

"Come in." Liu Hua said to the two people at the door.

"Come, don't talk yet, let me and the political commissar guess, who is the two of you?" Liu Hua interrupted Qian Zhonghua, who was about to speak, looked at the political commissar and said with a smile.

"Since the division commander is so interested, then I will think about it?" As he spoke, the commissar began to stare at the two of them.

"Political commissar, you don't need to look at it, you can see that it is Qian Zhonghua who is wearing glasses, and the other is Meng Zhongheng." Looking at the serious expression of the political commissar, Liu Hua said with a smile.

Listening to Liu Hua's words, not only the political commissar, but even the two people in front of him showed surprised expressions.

"Commander, why are you so sure?" The commissar asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, political commissar, it's very simple, think about it, if you let a person with glasses be an intelligence agent, do you think it's possible, he is so attention-grabbing, can he be an intelligence officer?" Liu Hua asked rhetorically, "Well, this is indeed the reason, or the division commander observed carefully." The political commissar carefully observed the two people in front of him again, nodded and said.

"Report to the commander, political commissar, Qian Zhongheng came to report, Meng Zhongheng came to report." The two finally found an opportunity to speak. "Very good, come, sit down, you've been here for a few months!" I haven't taken the time to look at you, hehe, don't be surprised, this is also to blame the little devils, who have been constantly tossing and turning, and don't let us rest for a while. Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Commander, you're polite, they're all revolutionary soldiers, nothing?" The two men replied in unison.

"Good, what a revolutionary soldier. Comrade Qian Zhonghua, you used to be engaged in espionage work, and at the same time, Meng Zhonghua, you are engaged in intelligence work! The commissar said.

"Report to the political commissar, we are indeed engaged in this work." The two replied again with a tacit understanding.

"Okay, very good, I want to ask you now, if you are allowed to go back to your old job, do you have the confidence to do this job well." The political commissar said solemnly.

"Report to the commander, political commissar, we will definitely live up to our mission." The same neat answer.

Liu Hua has been watching their every move from the time the two of them entered the door to the present, and he is very satisfied with their performance, not because of the pride of the chief. "Okay, Chief of Staff, you can announce the appointment of the two of them!" Liu Hua turned his head to the chief of staff next to him and said.

"Comrade Qian Zhonghua." The chief of staff shouted loudly.

"Here."

"After the decision of the divisional party committee, you are now appointed as the head of the security department of the reading division, and you are ordered to select personnel from the entire base within a week to form the security department of the reading division, and the required funds will be collected directly from the director of the logistics department."

"Yes, resolutely complete the task." Qian Zhonghua replied excitedly. At the regimental level, you must know that during the Anti-Japanese War, a regiment commander of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, after the liberation, at least with the rank of major general, can she not feel excited.

"Director Qian, you should know what happened to the headquarters today!" Liu Hua interrupted the chief of staff, who wanted to continue to announce the appointment, and asked Qian Zhonghua, who was full of excitement.

"Commander, I heard, it's a group of devil spies who wanted to attack the headquarters, but they were completely wiped out by the guard company." Director Qian seemed to have guessed something, looked at Commander Liu Hua and said.

"Well, very good, after this incident, I feel that there are still a lot of secret agents hidden in our Jindong base area, otherwise, they would not have such accurate information. Therefore, the first task given to you by the headquarters is to dig up the secret agents hidden in our base area. ”

"Commander, I will definitely live up to the trust and dig out the spies hidden in our base area in the shortest possible time." Qian Zhonghua replied in the affirmative.

"Comrade Meng Zhongheng." The Chief of Staff shouted loudly again.

"To"

"After the decision of the Party Committee of the Reading Division, you are now appointed as the director of the Intelligence Division of the Reading Division, and you will enjoy regimental treatment. I order you to establish our own intelligence network in the whole of Shanxi and Hebei within a month's time. All the manpower, material resources, and money required are collected at the logistics office. Are there any difficulties? The chief of staff ordered.

"Yes, resolutely complete the task. However, Meng Zhonghua wanted to speak and stopped.

"Director Meng, if you have any difficulties, just tell them, don't talk about them." Liu Hua looked at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but remind.

"Yes, Commander, to create an intelligence network within the limits of two provinces. In order to facilitate the rapid transmission of information, we must set up a lot of intelligence stations. And these intelligence stations must have a legal identity to cover, so we have to consume a lot of money. In addition, the radio station is also the most important thing to establish an intelligence station, without which we will not be able to transmit information even if we have it. Meng Zhonghua said.

"Director Meng, although rest assured, there is definitely no problem in terms of funding. Besides, if you are given funds, you can use it to open stores and so on, and carry out various business activities, which can be regarded as doing business for our base? As for the radio station, I don't think I have to worry about it. Chief of Staff, can you call Director Wang, the director of the logistics department, and ask, how many backup radio stations do we have in the logistics warehouse? Liu Hua said.

After a while, the chief of staff walked into the command headquarters. "Division commander, political commissar, I just asked Director Wang, we captured a lot of radio stations in the last battle of Changle Village, although they were all blown up. However, after the repair of the arsenal, we have repaired a total of six, and five radios have been transported back from Yunshan Mountain, plus the original battle captured by our reading division, our logistics warehouse has a total of nearly 15 radios. The chief of staff said with a smile.

"So much!" Not only Liu Hua, but even the political commissar next to him, Meng Zhongheng and others also shouted in surprise.

"Okay, since there are so many radio stations, Director Meng, you can go to the logistics department to get ten radio stations, use them temporarily, and when we have seizures in the future, we will continue to strengthen them, what do you think?" Liu Hua asked tentatively.

"Commander, enough, ten radios are enough. Please rest assured, commanders, political commissars, and chiefs of staff, that within a month, I will establish an intelligence network belonging to our Eighth Route Army's Reading Division within the limits of these two provinces. After Meng Zhongheng listened to Liu Hua's words, he replied excitedly.

In this way, the attack launched by the devils caused the intelligence department and the security department were quickly established. From then on, all aspects of the base area can be truly sound. However, did the enemy's attack on the headquarters of the Reading Force Division really end there? Is Liu Hua the kind of person who only suffers losses and does not retaliate?

The answer is no.
