Three days later, in the evening, Tang Qiuli held a large ceremony for the two old men of the Zhang family and Liu Xinlan to recognize their relatives in the largest hotel in Dingbian, and hundreds of tables were set up for the banquet.

As for the military and political departments of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone, Tang Qiuli did not intend to be alarmed at all, nor did he want to make the scene of a villager gathering like an official banquet.

At the ceremony, in full accordance with the customs and habits of the Northeast, Liu Xinlan took off her military uniform, put on a new dress specially bought for her by Aunt Zhang, knelt and kowtowed to Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang who were sitting on the main seat, toasted three glasses of wine, and shouted crisply, "Dad-!" Mom! "That night, everyone was drunk.

At the end of February 1942, Tang Qiu reluctantly bid farewell to his relatives in Dingbian, took Mei Xue, and embarked on the journey back to Outer Mongolia, while Liu Xinlan was also escorted by the special guards to return to the Guangzhou Military Academy to continue his unfinished studies.

When she was about to get on the plane, Liu Xinlan cried like a tearful person, originally, Tang Qiuli could give the president of the Dingbian Military Academy, the old general Jiang Baili, a phone call, and transfer Liu Xinlan to the Dingbian Military Academy to continue studying, so that he could spare more time to accompany the two elders of the Zhang family, and then thought about it, the military academy implements strict militarized management, all the students have to live in the school, and the training and study are very intense, besides, I am afraid that it will affect Liu Xinlan's studies, so I have to give up at this time.

At this time, in Dingbian, the breath of spring has been smelled in the air, and on the prairie outside the Saiwai, there is still a snow-capped and murderous scene.

After the plane landed at the Kulun Field Airport, Tang Qiuli returned to the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Guards. In his office, before his ass was firmly seated, he instructed the staff officers: "Immediately inform Chief of Staff Zhao, Deputy Division Commander Liu and Chief of Staff Yang of Dongzhi, Commander Sun of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, and Meng Qingpeng, Commander of the Outer Mongolia Patrol Area of the Northern Flying Group, to the headquarters for a meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

"And. Inform the Captain of the Chutian Detachment of the Special Operations Detachment, Director Yu of the Intelligence Department, and Director Shen of the Investigation Department to come to my office immediately! ”

Just after a few sips of milk tea, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun arrived together. After more than ten minutes, Chu Tian also arrived.

Tang Qiuli didn't have too many pleasantries. Come straight to the point. "I invited the three of you here today to hear all about the situation of the Soviet Army, Director Yu, you talk about it first!"

It may be that in recent times, Yu Deshui has not had a good rest. The circles under his eyes are dark, his face is full of exhaustion, and the burden on his shoulders is not light, an intelligence network formed in the Soviet Union. It's not very smooth, the All-Soviet Anti-Counter Committee led by Beria is a strong opponent, in addition, there is also the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence under the General Staff of the Soviet Army, and the State Security Service under the internal and external parts of the Soviet Union, which are all difficult opponents to deal with.

Stalin used his different intelligence agencies to weave a huge, airtight, and pervasive counterintelligence network in the Soviet Union, so Yu Deshui's intelligence department was struggling to carry out its work in the Soviet Union, and some intelligence outlets were destroyed as soon as they were established.

Yu Deshui rubbed his face and said slowly: "Division commander, I'm ashamed, our intelligence department has not completed the task assigned by the division commander, so far, we know very little about the troops transferred to the east by the Soviet army, and what I have in my hand is still some basic information, however, I am increasing the intelligence of the Soviet army, but it will take time!" ”

After speaking, Yu Deshui was a little depressed, it seems that the expansion of overseas intelligence networks, in the territory of the Soviet Union, encountered a very likely thing, which hit him a lot, and Yu Deshui also knew that the division commander urgently needed the most detailed and accurate information of the Soviet army, but he could not provide it, which was Yan Zhan's dereliction of duty.

Looking at Yu Deshui with a defeated face, Tang Qiuli did not blame him, the formation of a new huge intelligence network is not something that can be completed overnight, it requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, it takes time to accumulate, and if you are in a hurry, even if you get the information, gold content and reliability, it will be greatly reduced.

He smiled and said: "Director Yu, there is no need to be discouraged, the Soviet intelligence agency, that is an old system, decades of heritage, take your time, however, I have a plan, can you get the information we need from the contact telegrams between the various units of the Soviet Army, between the General Staff of the Soviet Army and the troops, this point, your intelligence department is an expert, Bai Luoyu is in charge of the intelligence analysis center, when in the Indochina Peninsula, did a very good job!" ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Yu Deshui suddenly brightened, his eyes lit up, patted his head, and shook his head again and again, "Hey! Why didn't I think of this, division commander, I immediately ordered all the backbone personnel of the intelligence analysis center to rush to Outer Mongolia immediately, the territory of the Soviet Union is not easy to wedge nails, let's take advantage of the advantages and set up a good ear around the Soviets! ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Shen Jun and said, "Director Shen, how is the work of your investigation department, how is the situation, and have the hidden dangers in Outer Mongolia been eliminated?" ”

After smashing the separatist forces of the "Outer Mongolia Independent League," the investigation department dug up the military and political system of the Outer Mongolia Military and Political Commission, and the separatist elements hidden in the political and military circles were wiped out.

Therefore, Shen Jun looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, the division commander has dug up all the rats, including the areas we have recently occupied, I can assure the division commander that within the area controlled by the independent division, our troops can be moved at will, and the news will not leak, and not a word of information will reach the ears of the Soviets!" ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Shen Jun with a smile, full of confidence, and said: "Director Shen is a big deal, it is good to have confidence, but under what circumstances, remind you that the opponent of the investigation department is not simple, the large-scale eastward transfer of the Soviet army, the Soviet intelligence system, will not be willing to be lonely, Stalin will not allow it, your investigation department is about to usher in a new round of challenges, Soviet agents, will rack their brains to infiltrate the Outer Mongolia region, spy on the intelligence of our army, Director Shen, don't take it lightly!" ”

Tang Qiuli's words seemed to be a reminder, like a suggestion, the tone was not heavy and there was a hint of humor, but in Shen Jun's ears, it was like Huang Zhong Dalu, Shen Jun put away his relaxed look, sat upright, and said: "Thank you for reminding the division commander, I am indeed a little underestimated by the enemy, and the investigation department will go all out to ensure that during the operation of the troops, no military secrets will be leaked, and the spies of the Soviets will come and catch one by one." ”

Immediately, he said with a smile: "Division commander, the investigation department has no opponents, and it's strange and lonely, don't forget, all the good players in the department have been transferred to the Outer Mongolia region by me, and fighting with the Soviet intelligence agencies can be regarded as a long insight and eye-opening!" In the tone, there is a strong fighting spirit and passion.

Tang Qiuli smiled, he knew that if the front, Shen Jun was a little blindly confident, and in the back, he was confident, coupled with the fighting spirit of the opponent, from North China to the Indochina Peninsula, this young person in charge of the counterintelligence agency of the independent division had never let himself down.

Turning his gaze to Chu Tian, who was upright and listening attentively, with a resolute expression, Tang Qiuli said softly: "Chu Tian, how is Murong Xue doing, where did you spend the Spring Festival?" ”

Not only Chu Tian, but even Yu Deshui and Shen Jun were stunned, and secretly muttered in their hearts, "What do you mean?" Why is it that when the situation is being reported, the division commander is concerned about the fact that the fiancée of the Chu detachment leader is here, and the matter is unrelated! ”

Chu Tian's face turned red, he twisted his body uneasily, and replied: "Thank you for the teacher's concern, Murong Xue has been doing well recently, after the vacation of the Guangzhou Military Academy, knowing that I have a mission, she will go back to Singapore for the New Year alone!" ”

In fact, Chu Tian didn't tell the truth, after the arrest in Outer Mongolia ended, Chu Tian thought that he would be able to return to the Indochina Peninsula soon, so he made an appointment with Murong Xue in the letter, and during the Spring Festival, they would go back to Singapore together to visit her family.

Unexpectedly, next, one task after another, I was too busy to breathe, and finally, I received the task of staying in Outer Mongolia and assisting Sun Zhenbang in forming the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.

For this reason, Murong Xue was still a little sad, and Chu Tian was even more stunned, but for a soldier, this is an unavoidable thing, as soon as he got busy, he forgot about these little unpleasantness, "Now that the division commander suddenly mentioned it, did he know that Murong Xue had a little trouble with himself?" Chu Tian's heart suddenly became nervous.

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything deeper, but said gently: "Among them, you can take Murong Xue to Kulun in Outer Mongolia to celebrate the Spring Festival, so that Murong Xue, who lives in the tropics, can experience the snow-covered and howling midwinter scene outside the Saiwai, wouldn't it be a beautiful romance!" Having said that, Tang Qiuli's heart couldn't help but flash Mei Ting, who stayed in Dingbian, and Liu Xinlan, who went to Guangzhou, with those two delicate faces, and a faint sigh.

Yu Deshui and Shen Jun glanced at each other, and both felt that the division commander must have encountered something that touched his mood when he returned to Dingbian this time, otherwise, he would not say such things to Chu Tian, and it was okay to say that he cared about his subordinates' capable generals, but the heads of the two secret service departments instinctively felt that it was not so simple.

Just when Chutian didn't know how to answer the division commander's words, Tang Qiuli suddenly changed the topic, "Chutian, tell me about your special operations detachment, about the construction of a field airfield by the Soviet Air Force west of the Ural Mountains!" ”
