Two days later, the military district command sent an official document approving the military department's plan and requesting that a sharp knife squad be formed as soon as possible to reinforce the Tasti outpost.

After reading the document, Army Commander Tan Mingde was very excited, and discussed with Chief of Staff Shao Dong about selecting personnel to form a sharp knife squad, Shao Dong took the cigarette handed over by Tan Mingde, lit it and smoked it, thought for a while, and said: "Old Tan, I have a bold candidate, but I don't know if you will agree?" When Tan Mingde heard this, he became interested, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I also have a candidate, and I just want to discuss it with you, so let's write down our respective candidates and compare them, okay?" When Shao Dong heard this, he nodded yes.

The two of them wrote their names on the paper like guessing lantern fans, and held them up at the same time to ask each other to see, after seeing the names, the two sides put down the paper, looked at each other and laughed, only to see the same name written on the paper: Xiang Wenhua! It's really the same thing that heroes see!

Xiang Wenhua, who received the order, began to select the personnel of the sharp knife squad in the military headquarters, and soon the list was handed over to Shao Dong, chief of staff, and the list was: Zhao Dong and Cheng Yuanzhi, soldiers of the military guard company, Wang Dawei and Sheng Li, communication officers of the communications company, Guan Weiguo and Deng Zhonghua, snipers of the special service company, Li Ning and Liu Tao, soldiers of the anti-aircraft company, Gao Zhongyin and Tian Dahu, fighters of the demolition group, and a list of weapons: 2 double-barreled 37 antiaircraft guns, 4 Soviet-made SVD rifles (several special bullets), and a number of American-made M26 grenades. A number of American-made M14 anti-infantry mines, a number of Type 69 anti-tank mines, a number of detonators, explosives, detonators, a number of 40 rocket launchers, a number of 120 mortars, 2 heavy machine guns, a number of imitation American-style steel helmets, 2 radio stations, and so on.

Shao Dong frowned and said to the guard, "You go and call Xiang Wenhua."

After a while, Xiang Wenhua came to the door and shouted, "Xiang Wenhua has arrived!"

Shao Dong beckoned him in, pointed to the chair opposite, Xiang Wenhua sat down, Shao Dong raised the list on the table, and asked puzzledly: "There are anti-tank rocket launchers on the weapon list, as well as anti-tank mines, as far as I know, there are no tanks deployed by the Soviet army opposite the Tasti outpost, what do you want these for?"

Xiang Wenhua replied: "Chief of Staff, I analyze that the Soviet army built such a large helicopter platform, not only to transport materials and personnel, but also to transport tanks and armored vehicles below, the Soviet army has heavy helicopters, it is very easy to lift tanks, the Soviet army is good at mechanized attacks, especially infantry and tank coordinated operations, I am taking precautions and preparing in advance!"

The two of them were discussing the next battle plan, and suddenly the door was pushed open, and it was the army commander Tan Mingde who came in, he saw that Xiang Wenhua was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Xiao Xiang is also here, then I don't have to call you again,"

He suddenly asked in Russian: "Do you know Aleksanda Bakarev?"

Xiang Wenhua immediately straightened up and replied in Russian: "Yes, he is my classmate at the Frunze Military Academy!"

Tan Mingde took out a telegram and said: "According to the latest information, this old Soviet classmate of yours will be the commander of the Soviet outpost opposite the Tasti outpost!"

Shao Dong stood up and said: "The one who should come will always come, Comrade Xiang Wenhua, now officially appointed as the commander of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 3rd Regiment of the 115th Division of the 15th Frontier Army, responsible for the overall work of the Tasti outpost, please immediately lead the assault squad to receive the weapons and equipment on the list and rush to the outpost!"

After speaking, sign in on the list: agree to receive, Shao Dong!

After signing, he handed it to Tan Mingde, Tan Mingde looked at it carefully, signed it too, and said: "The personnel and weapons and equipment are all given to you, you have to guard the Tasti outpost for me, remember, the 15th Army is an iron army, don't discredit the military flag!"

Xiang Wenhua stood upright, faced the commander and chief of staff, and saluted with a firm expression!
