Chapter 14, Into the City I

Dressed in the clothes of the reactionaries, he walked very fast, and it took him three days to reach the border of Yunnan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info entered Yunnan, the signboard of the Central Army was not so good, the whole battalion crossed the mountains and mountains, and it still took three days to rush to the boundary of Kunming, lurking in the northeastern mountains of Kunming, and being able to see the city of Kunming from a distance. At this time, Kunming is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. It was almost impossible for the Red Army, which was closely following the pursuing troops, to take the city of Kunming.

hurriedly selected a cave camp for the troops, and just after dawn, Chen Luo and the others changed their clothes and went into the city. Leaving Xia Xinsheng, whose accent was incompatible with this era, was in charge of the troops.

Xia Xinsheng looked at Kunming City, which was far away, with a telescope at the entrance of the cave, and estimated the location of the Dragon Mansion. Liu Mengzi, who was also selected for the mobilization team, came over and asked, "Company commander, where is this?" It's very big, and it's about to catch up with Changsha's general. “

Xia Xinsheng laughed and said, "What? Homesick? ”

Liu Mengzi said twice: "I just want to know what kind of business we are going to do, so I can be mentally prepared." ”

Xia Xinsheng handed the telescope in his hand to Liu Mengzi and said, "It's still far away, let me ask you a question, how can we get this city in our hands with more than 300 people?" Then patted Liu Mengzi on the shoulder and walked to the back to check the camp.

The fatigue of the long journey made more than 300 men fall asleep on the ground. Many people don't even have time to take off their loads. Xia Xinsheng wasted a lot of effort to settle them down one by one with the comrades who were not asleep. After checking the sentry post several times, he always felt that it was not safe, and he lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked at the hillside in front of him with a telescope over and over again. Looking for what was missing. Tossing until the sun was tilted, Xia Xinsheng found a flat ground at the entrance of the cave, squinting his eyes to recuperate.

stayed up until the evening, and Luo Chen and the others rushed back. Luo Binghui is dressed as a Yi ethnic group, and Chen Geng is dressed in a long shirt with thick glasses, and he is like a teacher. The two of them were very interesting, and brought back a lot of meat. As soon as they met, the first thing the two said was that there was nothing wrong with the troops, and only after getting a positive answer did they gasp on the ground.

Xia Xinsheng walked in and took out two kettles, handed them to the two, and asked, "How is it in the city?" The two of them dried the water in one gulp, pointed out the cave, and the three of them got up and walked over.

Chen Geng looked around and said, "I have connected with the inside, the special department and the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee have been contacted, and our intelligence officers have brought out the map of the Long Mansion." Long Yun has been working here, and the street at the door is a big vegetable market, and people come and go very lively, which is very convenient for us to investigate. I went to see with Captain Luo, and the defense of the Dragon Mansion was very tight, and there were almost no suitable breakthroughs. However, the good news is that the yard is not particularly large, very close to the provincial capital, it is estimated that it is for the convenience of office, and there are not many buildings inside. This side is close to Myanmar, and business travelers come and go frequently, and the inventory into the city is not strict. There are a lot of businessmen here, and I think I can make some articles. ”

Xia Xinsheng asked vigilantly, "Are the people in the city reliable?" ”

Chen Geng said with certainty: "Reliable, the special science comrades sent by the central government more than half a month in advance have been in contact with them for so long, and there is nothing unusual. It shouldn't be a problem! ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "The hiding place and the surveillance location have been found, right?" ”

Chen Geng said: "Our intelligence officers can get private houses on all sides of the mansion, and the location is not bad. Moreover, the comrades of the provincial party committee said that we could find a few reliable people from among the progressive students, and that one of the students' families ran a goods store that could help us transport things into the city. ”

Xia Xinsheng rubbed the two stones, thought about it, rubbed his temples and said, "Student? That means that you are still studying, and what you can say in a foreign bank? The things should be mixed in the goods, and the workers are still transporting them, and the escorts may not be the students themselves, so is there too much variable? If you startle the snake, the difficulty will increase a lot. ”

Chen Geng said: "The students' performance has always been good, and they are also very good to the workers in the foreign bank, and many workers secretly learn progressive ideas from him. ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "Considering the possibility of a strong attack, we must enter at least four long spears, no less than twenty-six short guns, at least seventeen flower mechanisms, about six grenades per person, and about sixty to one hundred catties of explosives." I find it difficult. Can you find a place to store supplies near the Panlong River? ”

Luo Binghui asked, "What do you think?" ”

Xia Xinsheng took out the map of Kunming and said: "You bring in a batch of people who don't know water first, and secretly lurk near the Panlong River and are ready to respond at any time." We make some boxes and seal them with raw lacquer. Then make some bamboo adjustments so that the box containing the supplies can be suspended under the water, and float part of it on the water. Take it with a night dive. This makes it less likely to be exposed. ”

Luo Binghui nodded and said, "I think it's feasible!" This is more secure, is there a complete plan? ”

Xia Xinsheng said: "We need to find a lurking camp by the Panlong River, keep it as close to the river as possible under the premise of secrecy, and leave a radio station in the mountains to wait for the central government's order, take one into the city, and turn on the phone five minutes before the operation." The specific action plan inside will be decided after arriving at the close reconnaissance, and after entering tomorrow, we will prepare ropes, rope ladders, flashlights, and photos of Long Yun, which should be in this newspaper. It is also necessary to determine whether there are dogs in the Dragon Mansion, what breed, and location. In particular, Long Yun's activity rules, the defense of the mansion and the time of the changing of the guard, and the change of passwords. It must be completed as soon as possible, our time is only a few days before the Dian army arrives in Guiyang, I am afraid that when the time comes, we are not ready! ”

Luo Binghui said: "We have already found a riverside camp, in the east of Kunming, just three or four kilometers away from the Panlong River, on a hillside far away from the main road, and the large army can hide behind the mountain. There is suitable terrain over there to store the radio. I think we should transfer it tonight, the box doesn't have to be made, it's not difficult to buy it in the city and bring it out through the goods store, and there is no problem with the raw lacquer. ”

Chen Geng looked at Xia Xinsheng and said, "I agree!" Xia Xinsheng thought for a while and said, "Is there any bamboo on the starting point outside the city, so bring some with you." Time is tight now, and the timing may be missed at any time, so the boxes must be sent out early, and we must enter the city by tomorrow night at the latest. In addition, prepare a few more sheets at the contact point to avoid exposing the water on the ground. ”

After dinner, the troops quickly assembled, walked through the woods, and headed for the goal. It was difficult to march at night, but fortunately the special battalion had been drilling into the forest for several days, and there was no slowness in the footsteps. At 11 o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the mountain near the Panlong River. After arranging everything, Xia Xinsheng and the three climbed to a higher position and observed the opposite side of the river by starlight.

Luo Binghui touched Xia Xinsheng and asked, "I think the batch of more than forty that was eliminated in the end is very good, to be honest with me, how much worse than what you left?" ”

Xia Xinsheng said with a smile: "How much worse it will be, it's not because we don't know what the situation is here, and we're afraid that we won't be able to enter so many people and pick them out randomly." There is no one in the family except the only son. I thought, if we have to die, we will have fewer regrets in this life than they do. In addition, there are many who have learned very well, and I want to leave some seeds in this regard for the Party and the Red Army. There weren't even so many people who actually went in and executed the beheading. ”

Luo Binghui said: "When more than 40 boys came out, they wiped their tears there, and they refused to say no matter how they asked, I knew that these soldiers would definitely be no worse." However, wars always involve death. Which of our people shouldn't lie down on the edge of the Xiangjiang River? We are not afraid of death, we are afraid that we will not do a good job in the revolution, and we are sorry for the brothers on the edge of the Xiangjiang River. ......... I don't think it's better to do this, when we act, we will go inside, find a way to control one or two bridges, and open the passages. It's easy to advance and retreat. And even if you can't outwit it, it's not difficult to attack! ”

Chen Geng said with a smile: "I know that you Captain Luo, you don't want to watch us eat meat, you can't drink the soup!" I think it's doable! Natsu-chan, what do you think? ”

Xia Xinsheng thought for a few minutes, nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to communicate with the Central Committee and Commander Liu." The timing is very important, I recommend that the time to capture the bridge be a little after the decapitation, if there is a great certainty that you can silently capture the bridge, it is another matter! ”

After the consensus was reached, a new action plan was quickly drawn up and immediately sent to the central authorities. Only two hours later, the telegram from the central government arrived, agreeing to the plan of action, and the Red Fourth Regiment secretly moved over, and Luo Binghui was responsible for answering and assisting in the capture of the city.
