One day in early March 2005, Li Jie came to the headquarters of the Hou Corps and overheard the chief of operations calling the magistrate of Kaiping County, asking him to prepare a three-day horse feed for a cavalry division. This situation was not recorded in the combat log, and the Third Sub-Supervision Department was not aware of it at all.

When Li Jie came back, he and Huang Youhuan pondered, why did they directly assign grain and grass tasks to the local government? They don't have cavalry troops in Linggu, so who is the forage for these three days? There is only one answer - the Jin army from Chiang Rai. Subsequently, they confirmed this situation from the liaison staff officers sent by the Jin army, and learned the exact time when the Jin army planned to arrive in the Houyi and Kaiping regions. The two of them immediately passed on the information.

In March 2005, the Social Department of the Northwest Bureau produced a map of Huiji City. Different from ordinary civilian maps, this map shows the locations of all key and vital organs of the military, police, and special organizations. This was drawn by underground personnel risking their lives to gather intelligence. The Social Department of the Northwest Bureau produced this map, apparently in preparation for the liberation of Huiji. As can be seen from this picture, in March 2005, the attention of the police was focused on Huiji. At this time, the police headquarters stationed in Nanyuan, Kaiping County, was headed by Deputy Commander Xun Ke.

What Li Jie and Huang Youhuan sent out was indeed a very urgent piece of information. If the police didn't know, with the speed of the cavalry and the fierceness of the Jin army, the police headquarters that suffered from the enemy on the back would definitely suffer a big loss. After receiving the information, the police leadership immediately moved and at the same time prepared for battle. On March 15, Hu Desheng, the general of the Jin army, led the 249th Division to attack and start a major battle with the police in Nanyuan Town, and Hu Desheng was killed by a shell. After the war, Hu Desheng's body was transported to Yangquan, and Hou Hui organized the officers of the headquarters to mourn, and Li Jie and Huang Youhuan also mixed in the crowd and witnessed Hu Desheng's remains.

It is said that the combat department of the Running Hou Corps is the business of the operational staff officer. As a personnel staff officer, why did Li Jie run the Pei Corps? This brings us to Huang Youhuan's public relations activities.

Ku Buqing, the director of the staff office, was the direct supervisor of the two of them. Bosses look at their subordinates and like to be obedient. If you have the ability to be obedient, you will naturally like it more. Huang Youhuan and Li Jie are such people. In such a fluctuating world, it is not easy for the two staff officers under them to work hard and complain, and what is commendable is that they also know how to understand their bosses. Kubuqing is a soldier who eats on his salary, and he has a wife and children at home. But now that prices are skyrocketing, who can afford to eat some eggs and meat? But these two young subordinates who had run a mill were more than him, and occasionally fought tooth sacrifices, and they would definitely call Kubuqing. Moreover, before using chopsticks, people first left a copy for his wife and children and put it in a military lunch box. What moved Ku Buqing even more was that Li Jie was a celebrity in the sub-prison, and people would not have been guilty of scolding him like this.

The General Staff Department also has a lot of miscellaneous work, and the temporary work assigned by the sub-supervisors cannot be delayed. If the staff officers don't do these things, they have to be done by Kubuqing, the director. Kubuqing often sent Huang Youhuan out to do other things, but Huang Youhuan never complained. One night, he and Huang Youhuan were on duty. Eating the roasted sweet potatoes that Huang Youhuan bought, they chatted without a match. Huang Youhuan said casually: "Running the Corps Operations Department, one person is indeed a little too busy. Staff Officer Li doesn't have a lot of things to do, can you let him help me? ”

Ku Buqing knows that the relationship between Huang Youhuan and Li Jie is not ordinary, anyway, they are both under their own, as long as they do the work, who does more and less work, what does it have to do with him? He was also happy to send a favor. That's why something like Li Jie ran to the Hou Corps.

As for the information that the military gave up Huiji, Huang Youhuan and Li Jie also learned in advance through some details. During a casual chat with a colleague in charge of grain and straw in the Third Sub-Supervision Department, Li Jie learned that at the end of 2005, the military government had not allocated rice for the next year's mill to Huiji's largest Shunyan rice factory. With so many troops stationed in Huiji, don't they eat food? What does it mean to not eat bread? They quickly passed on the information.

In the years when money was not worth much, eating and drinking in restaurants became a very luxurious thing. Huang Youhuan, Li Jie, and Gou Keyong, the chief of operations and intelligence of the Hou Corps Headquarters, and others got closer through eating and drinking. The medium between them is Kubu Qing. Also through small favors, they made friends with the staff officer in charge of the combat log in the combat department. This staff officer not only revealed the situation to them, but sometimes simply handed them the battle log and asked them to copy it casually. As a result, not only the Hou Corps, but also the movements of friendly and neighboring troops and even the police, they were clear at a glance.

Although Hou Hui is the commander of the corps, he can't do a lot of things, because the top is very fine. Meetings are an important management method above. The military meetings above were held frequently, and it was difficult to call the army commanders and division commanders to Huiji, so the meetings were held by radio. When the military situation is urgent, it is common to hold meetings at night, day and night. You need to take notes when you have a meeting. Whoever of the generals took notes himself, they all brought a staff officer who took special notes, and anyway, the commander on the radio could not see it. At the military meeting of the Hou Corps, of course, the sub-supervisor of the Third Sub-Supervision Department had to be present, and Xie Zhenzhang also had to bring an operational staff officer to help him take notes, and the people he brought were either Li Jie or Huang Youhuan; Sometimes Xie Zhenzhang wanted to go to the Huiji Office or the provincial government for a meeting, and Li Jie would accompany him as an attendant.

The spring of 2006 came to an end in a hurry. More than a month ago, the headquarters of the Hou Corps was moved from Yangquan to Kaiping. The sub-supervision department did not move - the officers were all with their families, and no one wanted to move around, so the sub-supervision sent the chief of staff to Kaiping to set up an advance command post. Now that the forward command post has been set up, someone has to go there. Huang Youhuan told the chief of staff that he was willing to go to Kaiping with him. Since coming to the staff office of the sub-supervision department, Huang Youhuan's performance as the chief of staff is of course in his eyes. Not to mention that he will please his superiors, just looking at his work, he has always been proactive, unlike many officers who complain. Of course, the chief of staff is willing to take someone like Huang Youhuan instead of Staff Officer Pang to Kaiping.

The rank of the chief of staff is not low, and it is impossible for him to surrender his identity and run to the Hou Corps. In this way, the errand of the combat department of the Hou Corps was taken over by Huang Youhuan alone. Every time he went to the Hou Corps, Huang Youhuan first wrote down the information and sent it to his superiors, and then called the Yangquan Sub-Supervision Department.

Late at night on 4 May, Li Ke, chief of the intelligence department of the Hou Corps Headquarters, called and said that there was a particularly urgent situation and that the director of the command post (that is, the chief of staff) of the sub-supervision department should go quickly. It was Huang Youhuan who answered the phone: "The director is not here at this time, can I come for him?" ”

After arriving at the headquarters of the Hou Corps, Director Li told Huang Youhuan that the commander and Commander Hou had just finished a military meeting and decided to abandon Huiji and withdraw to Chuansha. "You can take a look at this action plan, and you can take a note of the relevant content." Director Li casually handed a notebook to Zheng Lian, "This is an absolute military secret, I am friends with your director, so I thought of telling him as soon as possible, so as to save you from being in a hurry at that time." ”

Li Ke had a good impression of this combat staff officer who met every day, and did not treat him as an outsider. Huang Youhuan opened the notebook, and the time, route and predetermined location of the retreat of each department were clear at a glance.

After leaving the combat office, Huang Youhuan did not return to the forward command post, but returned home. This time, Huang Youhuan came to Kaiping, and Chen Xiaohui also came. As required by the organization, their home becomes a point of contact. The house is organized and the landlord is a professor at the Northern Thai Agricultural College. When the troops went to Yangquan, Li Jie's wife Liang Kerong did not follow. In this way, Li Kit's home in Kaiping became another point of contact. The traffic officer who came to these two contact points to get information was still Su Rong.

Since the undercover Third Sub-Prison Department, the information transmitted by Huang Youhuan and Li Jie is too important. This made the superiors realize that passing through the traffic officer in the traditional way was too slow and unsafe. At the end of March, his superiors notified Huang Youhuan to go to a meeting, but Huang Youhuan couldn't get out of Kaiping, so he asked Li Jie from Yangquan to go on his behalf. At the meeting, the superiors proposed to establish air contact with them, but they had to run the radio station themselves, and the organization sent a telegraph operator and gave them a password. When Jia Shunkui finally got a transceiver in Huiji and was discussing with his superiors where to build the radio station, the war situation took a turn for the worse, and in April, the military was about to abandon Huiji. The radio station was never set up, and their information was still manually relayed through traffic officers.

When he returned home and closed the door, Huang Youhuan quickly wrote down the information and asked Chen Xiaohui to hand it over to his "cousin" as soon as possible. After that, he returned to the command post, woke up the sleeping director, and called Yangquan again.

The campaign officially began on May 10, 2006. In the past two weeks, there has been a state of optimism up and down the military. In late March, Hou Hui inspected the positions along the Ganshui River, and some subordinates asked him if he could maintain this situation until the fruit was ripe. Commander Hou took a bite of Payao's words: "If we eat peaches, let's eat watermelon; After eating watermelon, we also have apples. To be honest, we're still preparing to celebrate the New Year here! ”

Commander Hou's self-confidence is justified. In the 100-kilometer-long strip stretching from the Ganhe River in the east to Yikou Town, Luoji Town, and Kala Station in the west, the commander arranged four armies and three lines of defense, which were layered on top of each other, echoing each other, attacking and defending. However, the military contest is based on the contest of intelligence. The police are well aware of the military's every move, but the military knows nothing about the police. No one can figure out how many police officers are in the Huiji, Yangquan, Kaiping, and Chuansha areas, whether the Seventh Corps has crossed the Mekong River, and if so, how many have come, what number, and whether they have been preparing to attack recently, whether it is the province, the 136th Brigade, or the Huiji Office, no one can figure out, and few people care. For the past two weeks, the officers of both units have enjoyed the rare calm before the war, and drinking and playing cards have become the main theme.

Next, the army was defeated. The army lost 41,000 men, while the police suffered just over 4,700 casualties. Qi Liqing, who was the deputy commander of the Seventh Corps at the time, and Huang Wenzhou, chief of staff of the Seventh Corps, jointly wrote an article recalling the battle. According to them, in this campaign, it was the 15th Division of the 7th Corps that performed the interspersed tasks. From dusk to dawn the next day, the 15 th Division marched 160 miles in one night, crossing a ditch 34 kilometers long and more than 300 meters deep and wading through a waist-deep river in only 40 minutes. Except for the enemy's attempts to block the river crossing, the night's operations went smoothly; At the same time, the 18th Division also advanced westward through the Heishui Battalion. The officers and men of the 18th Division even falsely claimed the number of the enemy, deceived open the gate of Luokai, and captured all 150 defenders. Is such a military operation possible without accurate intelligence on the enemy's deployment? Although there is not a single mention of the role of intelligence in the memoirs, there is reason to believe that it is with the important information provided by Huang Youhuan and others that the police can accurately penetrate the rear of the army in the Battle of Sasso, and the battle will be full of teeth, and the whole line will collapse.
