Ji Xin went everywhere to find someone to talk to alone. The talks lasted for several hours. He talked to all the elders of the work team, and the indigenous cadres also talked to many people.
Liu Yichu was also called for a talk. During the more than three hours of talk, he felt that he had given a difficult report.
Ji Xin's words are very polite, but his questions are very sharp. He can quickly grasp some small details and inconsistencies in the words and pursue them. Especially in terms of logic, he is sharper than the average person.
This guy deserves to be a law student! He must be very careful with what he says. Liu Yichu finally finished his tea and walked out of the office sweating profusely. He was almost exhausted.
I wonder what this guy will write about himself in the report!
Liu Yichu wanted to know what the others talked about, but no one was willing to tell him - no one wanted to be involved too much in this matter. Besides, the content of the conversation was not allowed to be made public. This was the basic principle of the investigation committee.
A few days passed after the investigation team returned. Liu Muzhou called him from the radio station in Lingao.
"You've managed to get through this," Liu Muzhou said to Liu Yixiao on the radio, "but a letter of reprimand from the Senate is unavoidable."
"What is a reprimand letter?"
"It is a summary of your mistakes and mistakes, and I solemnly tell you: you made a mistake."
"Sounds fine."
"It's not that cheap. The letter has to be placed in the personnel file. This is a small stain! Captain Liu!" Liu Muzhou complained, "I will also receive one - it's really thanks to you!"
"I don't want to end up like this!" Liu Yixiao said bitterly, "I will arrange the work of suppressing bandits in a moment! Start a comprehensive eradication."
"No need to worry. You still have to submit a letter of inspection to the Senate before tomorrow. Of course, I have the honorable task of inspecting it in public."
"You are a talented person who works hard."
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. I'm officially informing you that the Special Reconnaissance Team Headquarters will send an anti-guerrilla warfare expert to Danzhou. You can just follow his arrangements for the specific suppression of bandits - you must give your full assistance."
"clear."
The final reference opinion submitted by the committee to the Senate was: Liu Yixiao has the main leadership responsibility, and Yu Zhiqian has the secondary responsibility. Liu Muzhou also has the leadership responsibility. All three people requested "a serious review" and received a disciplinary letter from the Senate. Yu Zhiqian
Not only could the acting battalion commander's "dai" be removed, he was also asked by the General Staff to wear it for an additional six months. "The decision to become a full-time officer will be considered based on work performance."
The anti-guerrilla warfare expert from Laite is Xue Ziliang. He is wearing a civilian version of US military digital camouflage, an extra-large imitation US military tactical backpack, and an automatic rifle. He is wearing a civilian version of a Ni cap and Zhejiang-made imitation American tactical sunglasses.
Holding a Chuqing handmade cigar from Nanhai Farm in his mouth, he strode off the gangplank of the naval transport ship with big strides. He looked more and more sensible.
Xue Ziliang has the scout's gold-thread service collar badge sewn on his collar, and wears the rank of major on his shoulder. Compared with the solemn uniform and command knife of an infantry officer, he is dressed very casually.
"This banana! It's so arrogant." Yu Zhiqian cursed secretly. He had just received a punishment and was full of inexplicable dissatisfaction with this proud banana.
Xue Ziliang stood at attention and saluted in the American style: "I have been entrusted by the General Staff to come to Danzhou to serve as an adviser on anti-guerrilla operations!"
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Yu Zhiqian was actually very dissatisfied - because his plan was to rely on the Third Battalion to regain the situation by itself, rather than having foreign aid come inexplicably.
"Let's go to the headquarters." Yu Zhiqian said. A soldier pushed a 28-bar agricultural bicycle with a newly made major command flag hanging on the front.
"Your car, Major!"
Xue Ziliang and Yu Zhiqian rode on their respective 28 large bars, and, escorted by a squad of bicycle grenadiers, sped toward Zhonghe Commune along the newly repaired road.
Zhonghesuo City has now officially become the headquarters of Zhonghe Commune. The garrison headquarters and Danzhou work team have all moved here to work - the biggest advantage of this place is that it is close to the seaport, making it easy to receive supplies from the sea.
.
Liu Yixiao originally had a great interest in the construction of Zhonghe New City, but after the Zhaopu Village incident, all his work focused on suppressing bandits.
Before Xue Ziliang's arrival, he had already made several arrangements. First, he narrowed the scope of the work team's work and shifted the focus of the work team to the Danzhou-Lingao Highway under construction to ensure the smooth flow and safety of land transportation lines.
.At the same time, they will strengthen the renovation work of each guard camp and intensify the renovation of military households in the guard posts - this is the only population they can quickly control at the moment.
"Sit down, drink some water first." Yu Zhiqian greeted him, and at the same time ordered a messenger to quickly invite Liu Yixiao and other elders in Zhonghe City to join the meeting.
The female orderlies placed several large glass bottles of ice-cold kvass on the table, and also placed a bucket of ice cubes in the simple room - these were all supplies that had just been unloaded from the navy's transport ship.
"Chief, please wipe your face." A female orderly smiled brightly and brought a chilled towel.
"Thank you." Xue Ziliang wiped a few carelessly, poured a large glass of kvass with ice into his stomach, and made a satisfied sound. He looked at the serious-looking people in the Danzhou Command in the room.
The senator's originally cheerful face turned sarcastic.
"Brothers, this time the bandits' big ears slapped our faces so hard." Liu Yixiao spoke with a stern face, "This time let's brainstorm how to eliminate the bandits in Danzhou as soon as possible - if we don't eliminate the bandits,
It will seriously affect our prestige and make it difficult to carry out our work."
Yu Zhiqian said: "Captain Xue has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation in Danzhou. Let me first introduce the following basic situation."
"I have read all the information about Danzhou from the Intelligence Bureau and the Political Security Bureau in Lingao. So there is no need to talk about the background information. Let's focus on what countermeasures you took after the Wangpu Village incident."
Yu Zhiqian immediately introduced the measures they had taken, including merging villages, building roads and organizing militia.
Xue Ziliang nodded while listening and said:
"The Third Infantry Battalion cannot stay in Danzhou forever. The local government must first ensure that it protects itself, rather than relying on strong external garrison troops. Merely establishing militia is not enough."
Although Xue Ziliang is an American citizen, he basically holds a negative attitude towards the role of militias.
"It is difficult for the militia to be used as a mobile force. The fighting will of the newly formed militia is also very questionable." Xue Ziliang said that it is still necessary to form a standing local security force.
"We have recruited about a hundred people from activists to form a county guard company. The third battalion of the infantry sent a company to provide one-on-one education to them. In order to quickly form a team among local people who are familiar with the situation.
Arms available."
"Very good, so has the local intelligence collection system been established?"
Zhang Yixiao said: "The General Administration of Political Security has an investigation network in Danzhou. They forwarded a lot of information to us. However, the focus of the investigation network is in Danzhou City and among the gentry, and its understanding of the bandits is very limited."
"The trouble lies here. We are unfamiliar with the place and don't know enough about the bandit activities in Danzhou." Yu Zhiqian was very troubled by this. "This time the task force has been completely shrunk, and we have even fewer sources of information."
To suppress bandits, it is necessary to have information about bandits. Xue Ziliang proposed to set up an intelligence center in the headquarters.
"All intelligence about bandits, regardless of source, is gathered into this center for processing and analysis."
"We want to dispatch intelligence agents? We don't have a special establishment. Besides, intelligence collection should be under the control of the Intelligence Bureau or the Political Security Bureau."
Xue Ziliang shook his head: "The idea is too rigid. When I talk about intelligence collection, I don't mean having professional spies like 007. It means integrating an intelligence collection and analysis system to collect bandit and social intelligence from multiple channels."
"As for the sources of intelligence, first of all: select some team members and soldiers with local accents to go out and inquire about information; secondly, ask for intelligence information from prisoners and local people; finally, the work teams and patrols you sent out also have what they saw and heard.
It is of great value. There is no shortage of information. What is missing is the analysis and summary of intelligence!"
"Okay. How about you take charge of this matter?"
"Okay." Xue Ziliang agreed without hesitation, "I need a few special rooms and some manpower. In addition, the political security commissioner must cooperate with me in my work - he has at least received basic intelligence collection and interrogation training."
"This can be done."
Yu Zhiqian continued: "We are planning to expand the armed patrol teams and equip each patrol team with sufficient communication means. In addition to radios, there are also dogs and pigeons."
These armed patrol teams have a capacity of 60 to 100 people. They patrol between several work teams on a regular basis. The mission of the patrol is to eliminate all bandits between the working locations of these work teams and prevent new bandits from entering this area. Work
Once something happens to the team, they will use fireworks as a signal to warn, and the armed patrol team will immediately provide support. Only when the patrol team itself cannot handle it, the radio will be used to call the headquarters for support.
"The small patrol suffered serious losses in the ambush encounter." Xue Ziliang shook his head, "We are not the US military. Our mobility and weapon projection capabilities are too far apart."
Lying in ambush on a covered road, closing the distance and ambushing the patrol is a common tactic used by disadvantaged guerrillas. In Danzhou in this time and space, whether it is in the mountains or plains, there are places where ambush can be set up everywhere.
A running ambush, even using bows and arrows and old-fashioned muskets, is completely capable of causing effective damage to the patrol within fifty steps by relying on concealment.
