Chapter 13, Preparing for War
Luo Binghui and Chen Geng arrived shortly after dinner, and brought nearly three companies of soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as the fighters and the members of the special service company brought by info arrived here, they gathered to be subjected to political censorship. Luo Chen and the others took the lead in finding Xia Xinsheng.
After saluting and shaking hands to introduce himself, Chen Geng said: "Comrade Xia Xinsheng, I read this book today, and you were mentioned on it!" ”
Xia Xinsheng was surprised and said, "Impossible, right? I'm a little person! ”
Luo Binghui also had a question.
Chen Geng shook his head and read: "Huaxingzhi, Mr. Zhou Gong Enlai served tea, and the chairman personally sat down, holding his hand and praising and saying: Huaxing, the current Sun Wuye!" He also said: "Xia Xinsheng is a good comrade!" Then he laughed to himself.
Luo Binghui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, covered his stomach with a smile and said: "When we met the chairman and head Zhou, the chairman also said that the freshman comrade is the first person in the history of our party. “
Xia Xinsheng looked embarrassed, and then smiled and said, "Chief, I just said that at the time, so that it is convenient to show off to others in the future, isn't it?" “
Luo Binghui then quipped: "It's also more convenient for you to show off to others, you see that there are two more people to testify for you!" We're here to testify to you whenever you need it! “
Xia Xinsheng begged for mercy again. Chen Gengcai stopped joking and asked, "Company Commander Xia, the head of the Central Committee told us about this mission, wouldn't it be better for you to say that we should go directly to kill the veteran?" I heard that he is in Guiyang! It's closer! ”
Xia Xinsheng scratched his head and said, "Why don't you want to kill him, it's just that he has been assassinated a lot and his defense is tighter." Moreover, no matter whether we kill him or capture him, the surrounding troops must be desperate to fight with our Red Army, and if they are caught, those who hope that he will die soon will beat us to the death and force us to kill him. If we kill him, there will be a lot of people who want to kill us, so that we can ambush the president's old department and peep into the throne. So, although this is relieving, it won't do us much good, not to mention that there are strong enemies on the side, ready to destroy our country at any time! It is better to have a government than no government at all. ”
Luo Binghui nodded and said, "That's the truth, besides, we can't stay in Guiyang for too long, there are too many enemies here." Comrade freshman, I wonder if you have any specific thoughts on this operation? ”
Xia Xinsheng said: "This matter needs to be carried out in several aspects at the same time, the first aspect is the training and personnel selection issue, our beheading executive personnel must have two groups, about twenty-four people, need to be proficient in stealth, over obstacles, close combat, feel the whistle, climb the rope down, etc., the psychological quality must be excellent, we also need a cover team of about six people, requiring accurate marksmanship, looking for a favorable position on the periphery for sniping and covering." I am responsible for selecting these personnel and conducting targeted training. This is also the main entry into the city. The personnel outside the city should also learn to camouflage and stealth, armed infiltration and group cooperation, so that they can quickly control key positions and welcome large forces into the city after success. The second aspect is the collection of intelligence, mainly maps and the rules of Long Yun's activities, and it is best to have locals to cooperate with the investigation, which is estimated to be troublesome to the two chiefs. ”
"It's important to keep it confidential, and it's best not to reveal anything to anyone before you start the operation," Lo added. Chen Xia and the two nodded solemnly.
In the blink of an eye, at noon the next day, the political trial of nearly 400 people had been completed, and 397 people had been approved, of which 357 were selected, plus Luo, Chen, and Xia, exactly 360 people participated in the operation, and half of the personnel of the special service company were led by Zhong Wei and He Dongsheng, who did not participate in the operation, but only participated in the training. It is also to leave some seeds for the spy company, so that the skills and tactics taught by Xia Xinsheng can be retained.
At the same time, there was also a new appointment from the central government, the establishment of an independent battalion directly under the central government, Luo Binghui as the acting battalion commander, Chen Geng as the acting instructor, and Xia Xinsheng as the deputy battalion commander. In addition, four people, including Lao Yu, were sent to participate in the training as radio personnel, and one or two people were selected to participate in the action group.
The selection of the action group began immediately when the personnel arrived, and one hundred and seven personnel with excellent quality or special skills and nearly 20 sharpshooters were selected as reserve members, led by Chen Geng and Xia Xinsheng, and screened in the subsequent training. The remaining personnel were led by Luo Binghui, and with the cooperation of Zhong Wei and He Dongsheng, they concentrated on the assault and learned the various techniques and tactics that the special service company had mastered before.
Xia Xinsheng and Chen Geng led the reserve team and the central medical team, carrying all kinds of medicines and supplies to the secret training site selected by the central government.
After Chen Geng finished his mobilization speech, Xia Xinsheng looked at the neat team and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "This training camp is different from the past, or I haven't heard of such a training camp. From now on, eat enough. Moreover, everyone must be fed. This is an order, not executed, eliminated and punished! If you are injured, report it immediately and receive medical treatment. This is also an order, and if it is not carried out, it will be eliminated and punished in the same way. In addition to the technical tactics and the knowledge taught to you, you are not allowed to ask why, this is still an order, and if it is not carried out, it will still be punished or eliminated. ”
Before the words were finished, an uproar was set off. The team members looked at each other with a puzzled expression. Yes, who in the Red Army at this time did not eat as little as possible and save food for those who needed it more when and when they needed it more? Who doesn't grit their teeth and hold on as long as they can still move, leaving precious medicines for those who need them more?
Xia Xinsheng couldn't say any more, bit his lip vigorously and twisted his head to the side, closed his eyes to calm down for a while, and then turned his head suddenly, trying to make the most stern expression, staring at the queue fiercely and saying: "All you have to do is to carry out orders, absolute obedience, obedience without any prerequisites!" That is, no matter what kind of order, it must be obeyed! When the order is given, those who hesitate and push back will all enforce battlefield discipline! If you can't do it, if you're afraid, please get out of the queue, and I'll let you go. And, make sure no one blames you! ”
The entire queue roared in unison: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”
None of them quit.
Xia Xinsheng paused for a moment and said, "You will only have thirty people left in the end. Who can stay and how can they stay. I can't tell you, and you can't ask, from now on, all those who ask will be eliminated and kept confidential. In addition, you will be numbered from one to one hundred and twenty-seven, and in the future, you can only call each other numbered, and violators will be eliminated and isolated in the same way. After that, he began to put on the number and began training.
The day begins with a trap knife, a one-move training to defeat the enemy, and various techniques for assassination. During the sparring exercises, they wore thick cotton clothes on top of the thick grass with wooden daggers, and fought exactly in accordance with the actual combat, and even if the wounded appeared, the intensity of the training was not reduced in the slightest. I didn't stop at night, and I practiced night sneaking, climbing over obstacles, and making smokeless stoves. Xia Xinsheng trained the wounded one by one with a ruthless heart and sent them to the medical team. The only thing that made Xia Xinsheng and Chen Geng feel a little more at ease was that there were no too serious wounded.
In this way, more than a month passed, and all the subjects that Xia Xinsheng's two knives could think of, such as tactical sign language, make-up reconnaissance, rapid march day and night in the mountains, knife fighting, rope dropping, pistol shooting, climbing over obstacles, and hiding behind enemy lines were completed.
The number of personnel was quickly eliminated from 127 to only 24, and the training site was changed several times. After crossing the Wujiang River, Vice Chairman Zhou personally came to the reserves. There were also a lot of baggage with them.
After welcoming the vice chairman into the temporary headquarters, Xia Xinsheng poured a glass of water and handed it to the vice chairman, and asked, "Is it time to start the operation, or is there new intelligence?" ”
Vice Chairman Zhou took a sip of water and said: "We have sent several waves of scouts and obtained a lot of information, we have entered the inner line in the Dragon Mansion in Longyun, and also established an intelligence station, we have also obtained a map of Yunnan, and a map of southwest Guizhou has also been brought over." In terms of weapons, I will bring you a batch of pistol rounds, as well as twenty-five flower traps and daggers, as well as high-quality hunting crossbows collected by hunters. There is also a batch of Zhongyang army uniforms. We had seized a lot of fine German-style grenades, 200 catties of explosives and food, and Comrade Luo Binghui and them carried them. There are many other small things, so I won't explain them one by one. I will lead the two of you to reconcile, and Comrade Luo Binghui will tell you the details! ”
The teaching team quickly assembled, and more than a month of training made a great change to the whole team, and a group of people quickly changed their clothes. Follow Vice Chairman Zhou and his entourage to a Linzikou and meet with Luo Binghui's department.
Vice Chairman Zhou took Luo, Chen, and Xia aside, took out a letter of appointment and handed it to Luo Binghui, and took Luo, Chen, and Xia to a place far away from the team, and said softly: "The specific route has been repeatedly deliberated by the chairman, Mr. Zhu, and I together with the General Staff Department and Comrade Luo Binghui. In order to cooperate with you and increase the success rate, Commander Liu Bocheng will personally lead four regiments to lurk in a suitable position. As long as the Dian army moves, they will arrive at the right position and prepare to respond. This is the password, and the internal contact information. ”
Xia Xinsheng took it and looked at it, and said, "Chief, let's add some secret words, especially the key information." Is this the case, when the time comes, send it: "Monkey, Lingtang is very much looking forward to, return early" If you need to stop the action, you will send: "Monkey, Lingzun is critically ill, return quickly"
Vice Chairman Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, I will inform the three-person group about this matter, but we must pay attention to safety and confidentiality on the road, and be bold and meticulous." If nothing else, let's go now, and we'll see you in Kunming! ”
The three of them saluted: "Guaranteed to complete the task!" ”
