Chapter 71 Relief

As Wu Ming guessed, the joint encirclement and suppression operation meeting lasted for three and a half days before formulating the framework of the overall combat plan.

I don't know whether it was Jiangxi Provincial Chairman Xiong Shihui's determination, or Yu Jishi's deep background made all the military and government officials fearful. The Jiangxi Security Command and Shangrao Administrative Office showed a rare high-efficiency resolute action:
After the three-and-a-half-day meeting was over, all combat materials and required food and salaries had been delivered, and all the troops participating in the war had received sufficient supplies. Even Wu Ming's troops, who served as the strategic reserve team, received [-] rounds of rifle bullets and a batch of grain and oil. And the military pay of [-] oceans issued in advance.

Four of the five investigators sent out by the special agent company came back, but no trace of the main force of the Red Army was found. This result made Wu Ming uneasy and full of doubts. After repeatedly checking the map and analyzing the information, he could only patiently wait for the general headquarters to issue an order. combat order.

On the morning of the fourth day, the last brother who was quietly released into the No. [-] area of ​​Huaiyu Mountain for investigation finally returned quietly.

After Wu Ming listened to the investigation report from Lu Kuiyuan, the commander of the spy company, he immediately rushed to the barracks of the spy company to determine whether the information he received was true and credible.

Due to the importance of the matter, Lu Kuiyuan drove all the brothers out of the barracks, and Lei Peng, who was already a second lieutenant and deputy company commander, took the initiative to stand guard outside the barracks.

The thin investigator saw the head of the regiment came to inquire in person, thinking that the head of the regiment did not believe him, stood up excitedly and defended: "Head, what my subordinates said is true, the tenth regiment headquarters of the Red Army of the Communist Party is located in the incense burner. There are not many people left in the ruined temple below the peak, and their main force has all withdrawn!"

Wu Ming smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry! The information you get back is very important to us, and it is related to the life and death of all the brothers in the regiment, so I need you to explain it in detail from beginning to end."

"Okay! I... my subordinates carried a basket with five feet of foreign calico cloth, two bottles of wine, two catties of salt and a bag of brown sugar, and rushed to my cousin's house in Tianjiapeng. It was three miles away from the entrance of the village, when suddenly The red army sentry who jumped out stopped me, they pointed their guns at me, they came and went to interrogate me, it would be better to hear my uncle’s name, but they still didn’t let me go, they asked me how many officers and soldiers I saw when I left Shangrao ?”

"So I told the truth according to the company commander's instructions. It was said that nearly ten thousand people came, and the army from Zhejiang also came. They asked me what I did for a living in the city for the past two years? How dare I say that the first two years Is the grass falling on Wubao Mountain to the east of them? Quickly follow what the company commander taught before departure, and ran back and forth with Boss Chen in Tiebankeng for the past two years, transporting coal from Shangrao and Guangfeng to Changshan in western Zhejiang. They discussed for a while I finally believed it, and sent a soldier with me to my aunt's house, and saw that my aunt and uncle recognized me, so he turned around in peace of mind."

"Brother, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

Wu Ming kindly pushed Xiaobing to the edge of the bed, took out a cigarette, and handed him one.

The soldier quickly clamped the cigarette to his ears, straightened his body, and then reported: "After the soldier from the Red Army left, my uncle quickly pulled me into the back room. He was so frightened that he was trembling all over. My aunt cried while beating me, saying I didn’t learn how to make a living with a knife holder and neck, so I had to lie to them that I had rehabilitated myself and really did business with Boss Chen, and when I was done, I took off my backpack.”

"My uncle and aunt saw that the things I brought were quite valuable, so they believed them. During dinner, they said that it was better for me to stay outside than to stay at home, otherwise the Red Army would have to come to mobilize me to serve as a soldier. I asked Why? My uncle quietly told me that Secretary Fang and Commander Zhou led more than 3000 people and left quietly with guns twenty days ago. They heard that they were going to fight against Chiang Kai-shek in the west of Jiangxi to fight against encirclement and suppression, and ordered all villages to The red guards set up checkpoints everywhere to block news, no matter who they were, they were only allowed to enter but not to leave, and it took two days to stop, and now there are only two hundred or so wounded soldiers led by regimental commander Zhang left on Xianglu Peak."

Wu Ming interrupted Xiao Bing: "Do you know the names of Commander Zhou and Commander Zhang? Or is it your uncle who knows?"

Xiaobing puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I know, why don't I know? They are very famous. Commander Zhou's name is Zhou Jianping. I heard that he studied in the Yunnan Lecture Hall and later in the Whampoa Military Academy. His hometown is Jinxi County, south of Yingtan. , he is the most famous, and he is about to catch up with the Communist Party! I didn’t know the leader Zhang at first, but I found out that his name was Zhang Qingsong after I asked my uncle. This man is very good at fighting, and he is a rare general.”

"Zhang Qingsong? It's him? Haha! It's so interesting! Go on, go on." Wu Ming was quite surprised that his old friend Zhang Qingsong became the group leader.

Xiao Bing nodded: "Later, I asked again, how could the Red Army mobilize me to serve as a soldier, since the Red Army never captured strong men? My uncle said that Commander Zhou led thousands of people away, leaving only Commander Zhang with about 200 people to stay in the east. The other regiment facing Fengshu Mountain only had [-] people, most of them were injured and couldn’t walk. They were worried that officers and soldiers would enter the mountain to suppress them, so they called on young people from all villages to join the army. Rebuild the glorious Tenth Army."

"I wanted to explore Xianglu Peak that night, but I remembered what the company commander said and was afraid of bad things, so I didn't dare to move that night. When I left the village the next morning and passed the checkpoint at the southern fork in the village, those Red Army officers and soldiers were still there. Remember me, let me go if there is no difficulty. After walking more than two miles, I went back around the two hills to the east. I lay on the mountainside and observed the ruined temple under the Xianglu Peak three miles away. I only saw dozens of people coming in and out. .”

"I was afraid that some people might not have seen it, so I lay on the mountainside and waited until the sun set. I found that there were only a hundred people coming in and out and eating there, and nearly half of them were wounded and sick. So I ran back, but hurried Hurrying slowly still took a day."

Wu Ming asked a few more questions, patted Xiao Bing on the shoulder appreciatively, and stood up: "Your name is Luo Guangxing, right? You have done a great job for all our brothers. From today, you will be promoted to corporal! Kui Yuan—"

"To!"

"Reward Corporal Luo Guangxing, who is both wise and brave, with ten oceans, plus a pack of cigarettes, equipped with a pistol as an exception, and stay in your spy company's reconnaissance platoon to continue studying!"

"Yes!"

Luo Guangxing trembled with excitement, and suddenly saluted Wu Ming.

Wu Ming returned the salute solemnly, turned around and left with a few words of encouragement, returned to his barracks, and immediately summoned the combat staff officer Dai Ziran: "You go to the general headquarters to find Chief of Staff Ma, and look at this month's internal bulletin. Is there a new designation of the Red Army on the battlefield in northern Fujian? The excuse is that we are worried about the safety of our old home, Jiangshan, and the southwestern border of Changshan.”

"If not, tell him quietly that I suspect that the Tenth Army of the Red Army is no longer in Northeast Jiangxi. Please ask him to find a way to check through other channels. If he asks the source of the news, you let him come to me. "

"Understood!"

More than half an hour later, Dai Ziran came back in a hurry: "I found it. I found it in the internal bulletin of the administrative office. The No. 11 Army of the Communist Red Army was found on the border between northern Fujian and eastern Jiangxi. The commander is the former Tenth Army. Commander Zhou Jianping!"

Wu Ming was quite excited. He stood up and laughed loudly: "A trick to deceive the sky and cross the sea will play around with the [-] troops and governments at all levels in Northeast Jiangxi, awesome!"

Dai Ziran was surprised: "What is so happy?"

Wu Ming pulled Dai Ziran over, and told Dai Ziran the important information obtained by the investigators and his own conjectures. Finally, he smiled at the stunned Dai Ziran: "Isn't this result exactly what we need? Isn't it something to be happy about?" ?”

"It's a fool... the entire Jiangxi security force is a bunch of idiots!" Dai Ziran lamented repeatedly, racking his brains day and night, and finally got such a result.

Wu Ming put away his smile, and warned seriously: "This news is not allowed to spread, just pretend nothing happened. I have already issued a confidentiality order to Kuiyuan."

Dai Ziran understood, and then asked again: "What if Chief of Staff Ma asks?"

Wu Ming said with a smile: "He knows nothing! You just asked him to help look up the number of the Red Army, and you didn't say anything. Even if he has doubts, can't I say that I care about the safety of our old nest in the west of Zhejiang?"

"That's true. Anyway, he was very busy, so he didn't ask a question. I guess even he himself forgot." Dai Ziran smiled, and suddenly felt a burst of relief.
