In the cold night, it only took more than half an hour for the group of people to gallop seventeen kilometers on horseback. When Li Xiaolong, who was not good at riding horses, dismounted, he was panting and his legs were trembling slightly like the white mount he was riding. Huang Han and those around him
The four staff officers and the two guards did not show any signs of fatigue. After flying off their horses, their voices were still so loud and their steps were still vigorous. Li Xiaolong couldn't help but admire him.
In a dilapidated Laojun temple by the Shuangzi River, torches were blazing, and a 100-meter radius was being closely monitored by a company of soldiers of the *** Regiment. The leader of the *** Regiment, with a beard as thick as a needle, was as tall and majestic as Zhang Fei, standing there.
Next to Huang Han, Huang Han was actually more than half his head shorter.
On the broken straw mat in the middle of the main hall, a dirty corpse was spread out. Half of his neck, shattered by the bullet, could barely connect his head to his body, but his face was covered with hardened purple blood scabs and mud.
, the body full of bullet holes was horrible to look at, but the major's collar badge on the collar on the right side of the body was still clearly visible.
In the low-pitched report of the leader of the *** regiment, Huang Han slowly squatted down, took the towel handed by a soldier, carefully wiped the stiff and twisted face of the deceased, shook his head after seeing the appearance clearly, stood up and whispered
Asked: "Where are the things found?"
The commander of the *** regiment turned around and took from the staff a briefcase with three bullet holes on the surface and no blood stains wiped off: "Here, in addition to this briefcase, a holster and two leather magazines on the body, Thirteen
Apart from a piece of ocean, a pack of cigarettes and a pack of matches, there was nothing else that could prove his identity.
Xi, the nameplate on his chest was pierced by a machine gun bullet, and only the last word 'Chao' was left in the name column. The left armband showed that he belonged to the 24th Army, without a division-level designation, and his right arm was broken.
But the armband on it is still very clear, it is a black tiger head full of fangs, right here..."
The regiment leader squatted on his bed and turned over the half-length sleeve of the deceased. The regiment staff immediately brought the lantern closer. Huang Han and Li Xiaolong squatted down at the same time to take a closer look. After a while, they both raised their heads almost at the same time and looked at each other in astonishment.
Look up.
"From the 24th Army Headquarters?" Li Xiaolong asked hesitantly. He had seen this armband before, and he still had a vague impression of it, but after a long time, he was not sure.
Huang Han nodded affirmatively: "Yes, the armband has a tiger head and two swords, which means that this person belongs to the 24th Army. If it has two rifles, it means officers and soldiers of various ministries other than the directly affiliated agencies. Other members of the Anjia Army
The same goes for the army. The armband of the newly established 26th Army is a cheetah, their air force is a white fox with wings, their mountain troops are a black fox with wings, their air defense troops are a vigorously flying eagle, and their Jiang Defense Force's
The armband is the rudder of the ship. Since southern Sichuan is very close to our base, we keep an eye on the movements of the Anjiajun, so I still know some information about them. Lao Liu also has some information. You can check it out when nothing happens. From this
Judging from the appearance of people, the main divisions of the 24th Army may have secretly moved to the Sichuan-Guizhou border, otherwise no one from their military headquarters would have appeared. The situation is very serious."
"Then this person..." Li Xiaolong didn't ask any more questions.
Huang Han nodded comfortingly, stood up and looked around, waved his hand for others to go out first, and said hello: "Lao Li, stay here, others will go out and wait."
After everyone went out, Li, the leader of the *** regiment, carried a lantern and followed Huang Han to the table. Huang Han put down his briefcase, opened it carefully, and whispered to Li Xiaolong:
"I don't know this person either. He is not a comrade we have placed in the An Yi Army. Our intelligence agents are deeply hidden. They will not easily contact us in the Xufu base camp of the An Jia Army unless they encounter
Important military information. I will ask my superiors later for instructions. If they agree, I will show you the specific information. Let’s take a look at what’s in it first.”
Li Xiaolong nodded and looked at Huang Han's hand with interest.
Huang Han gently took out a piece of folded thick paper with a corner soaked in blood, and then took out a square object wrapped in oilcloth. He looked carefully at the briefcase that was no longer usable, put it aside, and carefully opened the folded thick paper.
Paper, take a closer look:
"Good boy! It's a military map... Unfortunately, two corners are soaked with blood and there are still a few bullet holes. Fortunately, the damage is not serious..."
Li Xiaolong moved closer to observe carefully, and suddenly pointed excitedly at the lower left side of the map: "Look at this mark, the Surveying and Mapping Department of the Headquarters. There is another mark here... it is the Intelligence Department! The map drawn by the Anjia Army Headquarters, no wonder I say it looks so familiar.
, you look at the contour lines, the mileage of this creek, this vertical depth
Degree symbols, I am afraid that only the map produced by An Jiajun and his family in the country has such detailed markings. I listened to An Yi give two lectures before, one of which was about looking at pictures. I was very impressed. Although we seized a lot of **
*The maps of various ministries, but none of the troops can match the meticulousness of An Jiajun."
"So, this map is of great value! But, what is this person doing with a map on him? Is there any secret?"
Huang Han was very surprised and looked carefully again. Suddenly, his eyes burst into moving light, and under the dim light, he excitedly pointed to Jinping County next to the bullet hole:
"15d should be the symbol of Wang Dongyuan's 15th Division of Liu Jianxu Corps... That's right! Look to the east and north of the Central Red Army due north and west, they are all the division codes of Xue Yue's Second Corps... And here, Guiyang
The surrounding divisions of the Guizhou Army, my God! If it is really the troop deployment map of the various units of the Communist Party of China, the value of this map will be immeasurable!"
Li Xiaolong watched carefully, his frown gradually relaxed, and he suddenly raised his head: "According to the information I have, nearly half of the markings on this map are correct. The only thing that cannot be determined is the location of the nine divisions of Xue Yue's army.
and the location of the three divisions of the 24th Army. Comrade Huang Han, do you think this Major *** who risked his life to report the news could be a comrade developed by your intelligence officer? "
Huang Han shook his head: "I don't know either. I have never heard him say that before. Yesterday I had a routine radio contact with him and learned that three main divisions and four guard brigades of the Anjia Army have been deployed to the Sichuan-Guizhou border.
A line blocked our way north, but he didn't know the exact location.
The report was probably too long and would not be convenient for radio transmission, because I once heard him say that An Yi’s research institute had built an instrument that could detect radio signals. During last year’s large-scale manhunt in southern Sichuan,
This kind of detection equipment has uncovered many hidden radio stations, and he will not take risks easily."
"Because it is inconvenient to contact us by telegraph, we can only transmit information by sending letters... It should be true. This person is most likely sent by your intelligence officer. Unfortunately, he was discovered by An Jiajun, so... we also
Don't worry about the discussion, there is an oilcloth bag here, open it and see what it is, and you may understand what is going on." Li Xiaolong pondered for a while and looked at the oilcloth bag placed on the table.
"Hey, why did I forget this?"
Huang Han patted his head and immediately opened the oilcloth bag with a bullet hole in it. The yellow cover of the booklet that appeared in front of them had the *** badge and a few large characters on it. Huang Han and Li Xiaolong were shocked to the point that they could hardly breathe.
Angry, Commander Li opened his eyes wide to see clearly, and the lantern he held in his hand couldn't help but tremble.
"Password book! I don't know if it's true..."
Huang Han swallowed nervously, slowly stretched out his hand, and flipped the cover of the thick password book. The first password comparison table that came into view almost made him scream.
Li Xiaolong was speechless. He put his hands together and carefully turned over a few pages, then quickly turned back to the back page. He stared at the two bright red seals and the compilation time on it, and his hands couldn't help shaking:
"Oh my god... Commander Huang, if this is true, you know what it means... The comrades in the Telecommunications Department of the Military Commission have turned their hair white this month in order to decipher the codes of the Communist reactionaries..."
Huang Han took a deep breath, straightened up, and gave Commander Li a series of instructions. Commander Li put down the lantern and turned around to leave. Soon he pulled in the reconnaissance platoon leader Tang Xiaolin, who was covered in blood.
Huang Han stepped forward to help his platoon leader button the top button, and said kindly: "Tell me everything that happened. This is very important to our Red Army!"
The young Tang Xiaolin straightened his chest and answered: "Yes! Shortly after nightfall, I sneaked out of the joint area between the enemy and ourselves as usual to check the hidden sentry set up by our platoon. Just as I was about to come back, I heard the sound of rolling stones coming from the foot of the short mountain opposite.
, and soon I saw a shadow hurriedly approaching through the starlight. At that time, I ordered the two brothers who were lurking on guard to get ready for battle, and then asked Xiao Zhuzhu, who was following me on the sentinel inspection, to go back and inform my platoon comrades. Who knew that the shadow had just arrived?
When we reach the wasteland where nothing is planted, we are right
There were shouts and curses at the foot of Mianshan Mountain. The black figure was obviously stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw seven or eight people chasing after him. He immediately ran towards the intersection on our left. I think it was probably our local underground.
Party comrades, please give instructions immediately
We were ready for battle. As soon as we loaded the gun, the enemy's gunshot rang out. The black shadow fell down where we were lurking for more than thirty steps. The seven or eight Japanese soldiers behind us kept chasing. The black shadow suddenly stood up and struggled.
Run, our guns also fired, pursuit training
Well practiced, I immediately lay down to fight back. Then a burst of intensive machine gunfire rang out, and I saw a black shadow being shot. I fell to the ground as if I had been pushed from behind. Just as I was about to rush out to save people, the enemy's
The machine gun immediately fired at me and penetrated
My clothes were taken off, so I could only lie down. At this time, our people also came up, and they also brought comrades from the first battalion and the second company. Seeing that the enemy's pursuers could not defeat us, they suddenly ran away without a trace. I immediately
I rushed out to save someone, but hesitated a little when I saw the person dead.
After a while, who would have thought that at this time, the screams of enemy mortar shells rang out. As soon as I heard something was wrong, I didn't care about anything. I rushed back with the body on my shoulders, jumped into our trench and looked back. I saw that I had saved the life just now.
The place where people live has become a sea of fire
, the enemy's artillery shells continued to fall in that area. Later, the company commander rushed to Commander Li who had arrived. After listening to the report, Commander Li asked someone to report to the division headquarters urgently. I was very worried about the enemy's attack.
Fortunately, the attack suddenly became calm behind us."
Huang Han nodded in relief, and then asked with a smile: "Did you hit any enemies in this encounter?"
Tang Xiaolin scratched his head in embarrassment: "I missed the hit. The enemy was very cunning. They all fell down as soon as the gun was fired. Later, our large troops came up and fired a salvo. I clearly saw several enemies rolling and scattering quickly."
, they still had two machine guns on the top of the mountain. As soon as the guns were fired, they all withdrew. They ran really fast. They were probably faster than Battalion Commander Zhou of our guard camp.
They were all very fast, and their skills were very good. They all flew over the small ditch at the foot of the mountain. I checked that small ditch during the day. It was almost one foot and five feet wide, that is, almost... almost five meters. They were all the same.
I jumped over, and there were no traces of people in the few waves, and I couldn't even aim at them. Our company commander said they were probably enemy scouts, otherwise they wouldn't be so strong."
Huang Han and Li Xiaolong looked at each other. After a while, Huang Han signaled Tang Xiaolin to go back, and ordered Captain Li to write a summary and submit it to the headquarters. He carefully put away the map and code book, and immediately walked out of the ruined temple with Li Xiaolong, and quickly got on his horse to catch up.
Return to the county headquarters.
The two got off their horses and immediately went straight to the telecommunications room.
Li Xiaolong took out his pen, quickly drafted the message, and handed it to the communications company commander Chang Sheng. Chang Sheng skillfully translated it into the code and calmly sent the message. His skillful skills and stable psychological quality made Li Xiaolong secretly applaud.
Li Xiaolong quietly asked Huang Han: "Where did you get such a talent?"
"The young brother who joined me in the Xiangxi Security Corps back then began to learn how to send and receive newspapers under the guidance of the old telegraph operator Lao Song. It has been less than two years now, and Lao Song can only do odd jobs for him now. This kid
He can also repair firearms. He was messing around at first and I had no time to pay attention to him. But after a few months, he was able to repair damaged machine guns. He also dismantled and reinstalled the old radio. It worked better than before. Can't you tell?
Right?" Huang Han took out his cigarette and smiled proudly.
Li Xiaolong took the cigarette, lit it with a fire, and took a good breath: "You are indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger here! No wonder your troops are so powerful in combat. It's all because of your good leadership. When I go back, I will tell Zhou and Mao
The chairman reported truthfully."
"It's okay not to mention this matter. The key is this telegram. If the superiors can confirm that what we got today is valuable, that would be better than anything else." Huang Han said modestly.
Li Xiaolong was happy, patted Huang Han on the shoulder, and whispered: "It is estimated that the headquarters will be able to preliminarily verify the authenticity tomorrow morning. If the things and information are true, this is a great achievement! You should be mentally prepared first, and you can be prepared at any time.
Send a small team of elite soldiers to escort me and bring these materials to the center as quickly as possible."
