"Captain, there's a situation... During our attack on the enemy's radio room, we captured a major staff officer of the enemy headquarters. In order to save his life, he said that he knows a very important piece of information for our army, and he must report it to you personally. I don't think he's lying, so I brought him here, and the people are here....petty bourgeoisie, this is our supreme commander of this operation, tell you, don't play any tricks, know something, say it immediately, otherwise... You've seen our methods, so I won't say more..."Just when Liu Xiaogang was about to command the troops to withdraw from the enemy headquarters, the leader of the guard team, with a [***] staff officer with the rank of major, got into the tent where the headquarters was located, and reported in a low voice.

"Commander of the Eighth Route Army, spare your life, please don't kill me. I have important information that you must be interested in. I am old and young..."I saw Liu Xiaogang standing in front of me with a serious face. After listening to the murder behind him, he didn't blink, and he was like a demon-like captain of the guard team. The staff officer of the major seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and suddenly knelt on the ground, hugged Liu Xiaogang's thigh, and said with a sad face, there was no military appearance at all....

"Whether you can save your own surname, the person behind you has already told you just now, it depends on the information you give us, whether you can interest us. I believe that as long as you have information that we are interested in, we will be able to guarantee your surname...", while feeling contempt in his heart for the major staff officer in front of him. Liu Xiaogang replied quietly.

"Yes, Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I will definitely tell you all the information I know....I believe that you will be interested in this information....This is the situation, yesterday I was at the mouth of the headquarters and heard a piece of news. General Ye Ting, commander of the New Fourth Army, and several senior officers of the New Fourth Army are now under house arrest in a tent inside the headquarters because they came to the headquarters to negotiate with Commander-in-Chief Gu. The commander-in-chief is going to escort these senior officers to Yucheng early tomorrow morning and hand them over to the chairman of the committee... Now these commanders of the New Fourth Army, including Commander Ye, are being locked up in a tent, and there is a platoon of guards in charge of defense..."The major staff officer hurriedly replied in horror..."What, what are you talking about, Commander Ye of the New Fourth Army is in your headquarters..."Hearing the answer of the major staff officer in front of him, Liu Xiaogang, who was still very calm, couldn't help but let out an exclamation. At the same time, a brief surprise quickly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked.

Because, before the departure of the troops, the commander once personally explained himself. In the process of rescuing, no matter what, we must do everything we can to rescue General Ye Ting, the commander of the New Fourth Army. And more importantly, for Liu Xiaogang, even without the commander's entrustment, he would do his best to snatch General Ye Ting back from the enemy. After all, General Ye Ting was an admired general in the era of the Great Revolution. And Liu Xiaogang also admires this general who has the title of the first commander of the Iron Army. In the process of attacking the enemy's headquarters, Liu Xiaogang, as the captain, was still thinking about the location of General Ye Ting. And now, what I didn't expect was that General Ye Ting was by his side, and he missed the best opportunity to rescue the general by a little bit.......

"Yes, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, the commander of the Ye Army, and several other commanders of the New Fourth Army were locked up in a tent dozens of meters away. If it is possible, I hope that the chief can give me a plan to atone for my sins, and I will take you over and rescue General Ye..."Seeing Liu Xiaogang's reaction in front of him, the major staff officer knew that his surname was saved. While breathing a long sigh of relief, he said flatteringly to Liu Xiaogang in front of him.

"Well, now I'll tell you for sure, your last name has been saved. In addition, if you can take us to rescue General Ye and several other commanders from your hands, we will not only release you... Here are two gold bars, which have been taken from your commander-in-chief, and they are to be paid for our service. I believe that with these two gold bars, you can also find a good way out in other armies in the future..."As he spoke, Liu Xiaogang had already taken out two yellow, orange and orange gold bars, put them in front of the eyes of the major staff officer and shook them, and then said..."Thank you, Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I will definitely assist you and rescue Army Commander Ye and several other officers quietly, you can rest assured..."You have no worries about getting your own life, looking at the two yellow, orange and orange gold bars, the face of the major staff officer immediately showed a trace of greed, Hurriedly nodded and replied, I was afraid that I had missed such a good opportunity..."Captain Zhang, you bring the captured and captured things, and prepare to retreat, I will take two combat teams to rescue Commander Ye, five minutes later, we will still meet here, and then evacuate according to the plan..."Seeing the greedy face of the major staff officer in front of him, Liu Xiaogang knew that the major staff officer in front of him would not deceive himself. So, without any hesitation, the entire retreat plan was immediately changed. Then, with two combat teams as well. Under the temptation of gold bars, the staff officer of the major, who was already flattering, quickly walked towards a tent not far away....

To say, at this moment, perhaps in the midst of the enemy barracks where there could be no danger, more than 20 people, under the leadership of the major staff officer, almost encountered any obstacles, and easily came to the tent where Commander Ye was being held. Just when the staff officer of the major began to chat with the platoon commander of the defenders, more than 20 special combat personnel immediately entered the offensive position... As Liu Xiaogang's order was issued, dozens of crossbow arrows quickly flew out of the arrow trough and accurately shot into the necks of dozens of [***] soldiers guarding the tent. As for the guard platoon commander, who had just chatted very happily with the major staff officer, with a look of shock and horror, he was twisted alive by Liu Xiaogang..."You guys are guarding outside, and I'll just go in alone." In addition, prepare a few sets of clean [***] soldiers' uniforms to use when you are ready to retreat..."Seeing the dozen or so soldiers in front of him who had been wiped out, Liu Xiaogang ordered in a low voice, and walked towards the door of the tent alone... Lifting the curtain of the tent, the four people were sitting under a lantern, looking at themselves together... Similarly, Liu Xiaogang, who walked into the tent, also used his same pair of eyes to examine the four people sitting in front of him, wanting to find the hero in his mind, General Ye Ting... I saw that among the four people, a middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform and the rank of lieutenant general was sitting on a stool with a serious face. Obviously, this middle-aged man is General Ye Ting, whom he admires. Seeing this, Liu Xiaogang did not hesitate, and immediately walked in front of General Ye Ting, saluted first, and then said loudly..."Report to the chief, Liu Xiaogang, the captain of the Special Operations Brigade of the Eighth Route Army's Reading Division, was ordered to lead the team to rescue the chiefs, please instruct..."In the shocked eyes of several people, Liu Xiaogang, who was wearing a [***] military uniform, said excitedly to the four people..."Wait a minute, what did you just say, what did you say yourself?" By the way, you seem to say that you are the Eighth Route Army, you are really the Eighth Route Army, not the Kuomintang Army..."General Ye Ting, who reacted, saw the soldiers in front of him saluting him, his face was shocked, and he asked in disbelief..."Yes, chief, we are the Eighth Route Army, and we were ordered to come to the rescue of the leaders and the commanders at all levels. Now the commander-in-chief Gu Zhutong has been captured by us, and the Kuomintang army on the entire battlefield has lost its command. Chief, I think we'd better retreat at once! Liu Xiaogang nodded and said affirmatively..."Okay, good... Old Tang, I just said, no matter what the reason, the Party Central Committee will not ignore our... You see, at the most critical moment of our New Fourth Army, the Party Central Committee sent the most elite special operations brigade of the Eighth Route Army... Great, this time the New Fourth Army has been saved, the New Fourth Army has been saved..."After receiving an affirmative answer, General Ye Ting couldn't help but sigh with emotion..."Chief, now we are in the enemy's headquarters, and we may be discovered by the surrounding enemy forces at any time. There are a few sets of Kuomintang soldiers' uniforms here, so you should hurry up and change into them. Then, follow us to retreat immediately and withdraw from the battlefield..."Liu Xiaogang took out a few sets of military uniforms that the special combat team members had just prepared outside the tent, and suggested to Ye Ting in front of him..."Retreat... No, Comrade Liu Xiaogang, I just need you to be able to rescue us from the enemy's headquarters, and we will definitely not retreat. At present, several thousand officers and men of the New Fourth Army are fighting bloody battles under the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Kuomintang army, and they are in danger of being completely annihilated at any time. And I, as the supreme commander of this unit, how could I leave my troops and run away first. Captain Liu, take us out of the enemy's headquarters immediately, I want to return to my command position and command my subordinates to break through..."Ye Ting didn't hesitate, he immediately vetoed Liu Xiaogang's proposal, and said with a resolute face..."Please don't worry, chief. Now, on the entire battlefield, there are members of our special operations brigade everywhere. And around us, that is, at the headquarters of the enemy, there is only a squad of special operators. Before leaving, I arranged a total of two special operations squadrons, a total of eight special operations teams, to be on the battlefield and responsible for rescuing the comrades-in-arms of the New Fourth Army who were besieged by the enemy. So, please retreat immediately, and leave the rest to our special operations team...."Liu Xiaogang hurriedly explained..."Really? Tell me about the specific situation outside, and how is your special combat team deployed? General Ye Ting asked in disbelief..."Yes, chief." This time, we mainly had two tasks, one was to rescue the commanders and fighters at all levels of the New Fourth Army, and the other was to destroy the enemy's command organs and capture as many high-ranking commanders as possible in this battle. So, I ask the chief to make the transfer right away. If the enemy on the periphery discovers something, we will be attacked by at least two infantry regiments of the enemy..."Liu Xiaogang quickly replied.

"Okay, then let's go, come, let's quickly change our clothes, and then start retreating. By the way, Captain Liu, on the way to retreat, no matter what, you have to tell me your specific plan of action, so that I can have some points in my heart. Otherwise, even if I withdraw from the enemy's encirclement, I won't be at ease..."Speaking of this, General Ye Ting couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and then said to Liu Xiaogang in front of him..."Chief, you can rest assured, before we act, the commander has already explained, and the entire plan of action does not need to be concealed from you. In addition, our actions, to a certain extent, also need your cooperation...."Liu Xiaogang did not hesitate, nodded and agreed..."What cooperation, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it...."After changing into military uniforms, the group dodged the sentries back and forth again and again, and retreated. General Ye Ting asked Liu Xiaogang's question just now....

"Chief, this is the case. Our special operations brigade has only a thousand troops. And the troops used to rescue the comrades of the New Fourth Army had only two squadrons of less than five hundred people. And the entire battlefield is several kilometers in radius. It is impossible for our people to be exhaustive, so we hope that the chief can provide the specific locations of the various units of the New Fourth Army and the possible positions so that the various units of our special operations brigade can carry out targeted rescue...."Looking at General Ye Ting, who was eager, Liu Xiaogang had to tell the whole plan while directing the troops to retreat. At the same time, he told the things that needed Ye Ting's cooperation..."It turned out that this matter was very simple, and I kept it in my heart." In addition, I also have the communication code for our New Fourth Army to communicate with each other, which can also be handed over to you for use, so that you can carry out rescue... In less than ten minutes, a list of the locations of the various units of the New Fourth Army appeared in Liu Xiaogang's hands. Of course, the codebook for the communication between the various departments of the New Fourth Army was also handed over to Liu Xiaogang... With a specific location, the rescue speed and efficiency of each squad of the special operations brigade have been significantly accelerated. In two days, more than 9,000 troops of the New Fourth Army, in addition to more than 3,000 people who were directly wiped out by the Kuomintang troops, more than 3,400 commanders of the New Fourth Army at all levels were successfully rescued. However, what has not changed from history is that on the way to break through, Xiang Ying, the political commissar of the New Fourth Army, was still killed by traitors..."Chief, these are the lists of commanders above the company level who have been rescued from the New Fourth Army. In addition, the headquarters has just forwarded a telegram from the Central Military Commission, asking the chief to take the rescued troops and follow us to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province first, this is a telegram..."Two days later, at the confluence point of the troops, with the last special operations team, with more than 100 remnants of the New Fourth Army, returned to the camp. Liu Xiaogang took a list and a telegram, came to Ye Ting, who was sitting in the tent, bowed his head and said silently..."Quick, show me..." With the names of the personnel one by one, the positions swept from his eyes, and Ye Ting's face immediately began to change uncertainly....

"Why are there so few, and there are only two regiment commanders and a political commissar....Captain Liu, is there still a list of people who have not been written..."After reading the names of less than fifty people in the list. Ye Ting, who looked incredulous, immediately raised his head and asked anxiously, "Chief, this is everyone's list." According to the accounts of the soldiers we rescued, in the process of being surrounded and suppressed by the enemy's heavy troops, because most of the cadres were at the forefront of the charge in the process of fighting, at the forefront of the line of fire. As a result, the casualty rate of cadres has reached more than two-thirds. As long as there is no unnamed commander on the list, it is in this week's battle that the Kuomintang army was killed..."Liu Xiaogang shook his head and replied in a low voice.

"Kuomintang reactionaries, I am inseparable from you. If I don't take revenge in this life, I, Ye Ting, will die, and I won't let you go..."As he spoke, Ye Ting's clenched fist slammed on the table in front of him. However, in just a moment, Ye Ting immediately thought of something, and hurriedly raised his head and asked. At the same time, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Captain Liu, I remember that you have another task this time, which is to capture as many officers at all levels of the Kuomintang army who participated in this civil war as possible. I don't know how many [***] officers you have captured. At that time, as long as these officers are in our hands, we will not be afraid of Chiang Kai-shek in the future to give us repentance and not admit what he [***] did today..."Ye Ting asked..."Chief, this time a total of General Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang army, and Lieutenant General Shangguan Yun, deputy commander-in-chief, were captured, and there were three lieutenant generals, division commanders, six major generals, brigade commanders, and one major general's chief of staff... At the same time, he also captured the enemy's lieutenant colonel and colonels and officers, a total of 25 officers..."Speaking of the results of this battle, Liu Xiaogang's face immediately showed a smile..."Okay, good job." If nothing else, these people were almost involved in this civil war, and all the officers of the Kuomintang army at and above the regimental level... Although, this time our New Fourth Army suffered heavy losses, but it also made Chiang Kai-shek lose his wife and lose his troops... Since the central government ordered us to move to Shanxi, I, Ye Ting, resolutely obeyed the order. Captain Liu, help me call back to the Central Committee, the New Fourth Army resolutely obeyed the instructions of the Party Central Committee, led the breakthrough troops, withdrew to Shanxi, and accepted the new reorganization of the Party Central Committee...."Hearing the results of the special operations brigade, Ye Ting ordered loudly while being excited...
