Chapter 332 He deserves to be killed, you deserve to be killed
The commander's words made Zhang Tao stunned for a moment before he said in surprise: "Commander, how come you don't know that the political commissar has repeatedly asked you to activate the high-power radio. After learning that we have not contacted the military department, the political commissar
I asked you to activate the high-power radio station as soon as possible. The political commissar has been worried about you."
"Is there something wrong here at the Military Headquarters? The Political Commissar has repeatedly asked the Military Headquarters to activate a high-power radio. Our radio has been calling the Military Headquarters all the time, but we have never received a response. Military Commander, the Political Commissar has left
It’s understandable that the five-watt radio won’t work if it’s too far away.”
"But the location of our troops is now very close to the military headquarters, but why hasn't the military headquarters responded? Commander, our troops are less than fifty kilometers away from your current position. If the military headquarters and the main force are not directly
If we had crossed Nanyi Lake and headed east around the lake, we would have met up long ago."
After hearing Zhang Tao's words, the army commander and the operations section chief looked at each other, and both saw the shock and even fear in each other's eyes. Although the military headquarters was unable to make direct contact with the political commissar using the five-watt radio, it was able to make direct contact with the southern Jiangsu troops that were already close at hand.
Contact is never a problem.
The most critical thing is that the political commissar repeatedly asked the military department to activate high-power radio to respond. However, the Communications Section never reported it. You must know that although the signal transmission distance of the five-watt radio is not far, there is no problem in receiving the signal. That is,
They said that they should have received the order from the political commissar, but they neither handled it nor reported it.
If Zhang Tao had not rushed over, the military headquarters would not have known that the political commissar was desperately calling for him. He did not even know that the southern Jiangsu troops that had rushed to meet the main force were very close to him. In such an important situation, the military headquarters had not even known that
All kept in the dark.
"There is a problem in the communications department, and it is definitely not a minor problem." The commander and Li Zhigao, who quickly figured it out, looked at each other in surprise. The commander said to Li Zhigao without any hesitation: "You will take the lead right away.
A company went to the Communications Section and detained all the operators on duty today. All the operators interrogated me carefully one by one. "If there is a problem with communication, it means there is something wrong with the Communications Section itself. As a liaison with the troops
There was a problem with the communication department of Lifeline, so what? As the chief of the operations department, Li Zhigao immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The army commander's order to isolate and review all personnel who sent and received messages was immediately implemented without hesitation.
.
It's just that when all the radio operators and all the staff members of the Communications Section were detained, they didn't know what happened. Some even thought that the army had rebelled, and if they wanted to attack the military headquarters, they would have to resist with their guns drawn. If not,
Li Zhigao, who led the team, was relatively calm and did not make any serious mistakes. I am afraid that the military department would be in chaos first.
When the kidnapped communications section chief and radio station director was brought to the army commander, he looked confused and aggrieved. When he saw the army commander, the communications section chief, who was unaware of the inside story, shouted: "Commander
, what's going on? Our Communications Section violated that discipline, why should we all be arrested? We did not rebel."
Looking at the yelling communications section chief, the military commander tightly clutched the cane he brought back from Germany, barely restraining his temper and not hitting this guy on the head. It took a lot of effort to restrain himself.
He stopped reaching for the holster, took out his gun and shot this guy to death.
The military commander, who took a long time to suppress his anger, said: "I believe you will not rebel. But I ask you why you, why the political commissar asked us to activate the high-power radio call, did not report the matter, why did you report to the Southern Jiangsu Army
No reply to calls?"
"What is going on in your communications department? How dare you hide such an important thing? What do you, the chief of the communications department, do for a living? The radio station is the life and death line of the entire army, and you actually gave it to me at this critical moment.
For such a big problem, it would not be an exaggeration for me to shoot you."
Hearing the military commander's angry rebuke, the communications section chief and radio station director was immediately dumbfounded. After a long time, he stuttered and said: "Commander, we have already reported it. One of our communications staff has reported the situation to the military commander.
It’s the report received by Adjutant Liu of the Third Section of the Adjutant General Division of the Headquarters.”
"He told us that all the other heads of the staff office had already crossed the lake with the first echelon. The remaining chief of the operations department, Chief Li, was beside the army commander to assist the army commander in commanding the troops to cross the lake. The adjutant office, that is,
He is the only one left who has not retreated yet. Now he is acting as the adjutant chief for the time being. He can just report this matter."
"I didn't think twice about it at the time. After all, he was an adjutant in the Adjutant's Office. He was neither a staff officer in the Operations Section nor a member of the Confidential Section. It would have been inappropriate to give this report to him. But most of the people in our Communications Section and the radio station had already
After crossing the lake, there are only two radio stations, four operators and one staff officer left in the west of the lake. The manpower is really not enough. The deputy section chief is now following the political commissar, and I am the only person in charge of the communications section. I still have to work at the radio station.
Keep an eye on the front."
"I also consider that he is an old revolutionary, an adjutant of the military department, and now he is accompanying the Communications Section and is responsible for the transportation of communications equipment. In addition, what he said is also true. Except that the Communications Section and the Field Service Corps did not cross the river,
Most of the rest of the military headquarters have followed the first echelon across the lake."
"There are not many people left in Huxi, so I agreed. But I really didn't know that he had withheld all this information. If I had known that he dared to withhold all this information, I would have reported it directly to you.
How could such important information be delayed there? I am a veteran of the newspaper service, so I still know the priorities of the matter."
"Just now I urged him several times, asking him how the military commander should respond to the calls from the political commissar and the southern Jiangsu troops. How to respond, whether to enable high-power radio stations. He told me that the military commander had already said,
Since the political commissar has stipulated that only five-watt radio stations should be used, we should still follow the political commissar’s instructions.”
"He told us that the call sign of the political commissar on the radio must be a bait set by the enemy to lure the military headquarters and the main force to reveal their positions. Since the political commissar does not allow the military headquarters to use high-power radios, he will never change the order midway. This allows us to activate ten
The call sign of Radio Five Watts must be a trap by the enemy. He clearly told us that this is what you have repeatedly confessed."
"As for the Southern Jiangsu Army's call, he did not respond to the call, and asked them to contact the Northern Jiangsu Command if they have any questions. The Southern Jiangsu Army is now under the command of the Northern Jiangsu Command, and the military headquarters has no control over them. He also contacted the General Headquarters with the Southern Jiangsu Army.
He took the code book away and said that the military commander asked him to ask for it."
"He is the adjutant of the military department, and now he is the interim acting adjutant of the military department. He has been tested by three years of guerrilla warfare. How did I know that he would be able to cause trouble here? Commander, I am really wronged. The political commissar is dividing the troops.
I have repeatedly explained before that you, the Army Commander, are solely responsible for all issues after the troops are divided. I thought the answer he gave was your answer."
"Commander, I really did not rebel. I dare to use my head to guarantee that my communications staff and dispatchers did not rebel, let alone any traitors. If there had been any, our codes and operations would have been exposed long ago.
It’s not like the military headquarters and the main force have not been discovered until now. What I’m telling you is the truth. If you don’t believe me, just ask Adjutant Liu to confront you.”
The words of the communications section chief made the army commander frown deeply. If the old revolutionary communications section chief, who joined the army during the Red Army, had rebelled or was a spy sent by that party, the army commander did not believe it. But his subordinates
The communications staff officer and those who sent and received messages, but the military commander couldn't believe it.
The matter was important, and he had to act cautiously. What is a radio? In any army, radio is the lifeblood. It is the most modern means of communicating with the outside world, and it is also the fastest means. Especially for those who do not have their own products.
For the powerful New Fourth Army, every radio station is extremely precious.
Radio, the most modern means of communication, plays an increasingly important role in modern warfare. But the more important the part, the greater the harm if there is a problem. As a means of contact between the entire army, it also assumes the role of clairvoyance and clairvoyance.
Once something goes wrong with a radio station that has a heavy workload, it will be the most fatal for any army.
There is a problem with the radio, which means that almost all communications cannot be kept secret. Even the deployment and combat plans of the entire army cannot be kept secret. Since the large-scale application of radio stations in the military, radio leaks have led to a
It is not uncommon for a battle or even a battle to be lost.
Therefore, in the New Fourth Army, the radio station is the most important department responsible for communicating with northern Shaanxi and the troops scattered in the north and south of the Yangtze River. It is also an important means used by the military headquarters to detect the enemy's situation and obtain intelligence. But right now, the problem is precisely in
The most important problems lie in the communications department and radio stations.
If you want to find out the real ins and outs of this matter, you must first start in the Communications Department. Naturally, the first unlucky person is the Communications Section Chief who is also the director of the radio station. When Li Zhigao led people to arrest the audacious person who actually dared to communicate without permission
Commander-in-Chief Liu Hou, who gave his own order and withheld the important report submitted by the Communications Section, looked at the Communications Section Chief who looked aggrieved, but the Army Commander said with hatred: "You are so confused."
"The political commissar called out on the radio, why didn't he immediately translate the telegram and send it directly to the military headquarters? Yes, most of the people in the military staff office have crossed the lake with the first echelon, but is the combat section still on the west bank of the lake? He Liu
Don’t tell me, Mr. Hou, that you are not the adjutant chief now. Even if you are, what are our regulations and disciplines?"
"I have repeatedly requested that no one is allowed to read any telegram, especially the political commissar's telegram, except Director Yuan and I, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou, Director Zhang Yuanshou of the General Staff Office, and Chief Li Zhigao of the Operations Section.
And have I told you that no matter what I am doing, as long as there is a telegram from the political commissar, you must hand it to me as soon as possible."
"Who gave you such boldness and authority to hand over the political commissar's telegram and the situation of the southern Jiangsu troops to an adjutant? Or did that person give you the order? You even did it so easily
The password for the general's headquarters to communicate with the southern Jiangsu army was handed over to others. He, Mr. Liu Hou, deserves to be killed, and you deserve to be killed."
