"The commander is right."
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly again. I don't believe there are only a few people like this around our military region."
"Commander, where in Fusong County?"
"Connect me to the city/military region."
"yes"
"Hello, who is this? This is Chen Guangtao from the Beijing Military Region."
"Old Chen, what brings you to call me so late?"
"Alright, I don't have time to reminisce with you. My unit received information that Liu Wenwen, a young educated youth who was recently sent to the countryside in Gujiawaizi Brigade, Dayingmin Commune, Fusong County, is from the other side of the river."
Is Old Chen's information accurate?
Based on the information gathered so far, there shouldn't be any errors.
What do you need me to do?
"Based on the information we have now, the other party should be a gang operating in the mountains near Gujiawaizi Brigade."
"How many people are there? Are they armed?"
There are currently five people in the mountains; it's unknown whether they have weapons.
"Could Old Chen tell me his source?"
"inconvenient"
"Oh well"
"By the way, we must make our move before midnight tomorrow, otherwise the other side will notice."
"What's going on? Why the rush?"
"Don't think you're in a hurry. I only found out about the problem with the new educated youth in Gujiawaizi Brigade three hours ago. As for the educated youth surnamed Liu that I just told you about, he's from the other side of the river. I confirmed that before I called you."
"Is it this complicated? Is there a problem with Fusong County?"
"We don't know yet! The comrade who relayed the message had a hard time getting it back."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
"Okay, whenever you plan to make your move, I'll do it too."
"Old Chen, what do you mean by that?"
You're right.
"Then let's set it for 12 midnight tomorrow."
"Okay, then it's 12 o'clock. Let's set the clock now."
Okay, it's 10:43 now.
10:43
Army Commander Wang Shijie, stationed in Tongzhou, knew the situation was serious.
Then he shouted, "Guards, pass the word: all officers at the battalion level and above must assemble for an emergency meeting and prepare for battle."
"yes"
Meanwhile, Commander Chen ordered: "The guards should notify all officers at the regimental level and above to assemble immediately for a meeting and prepare for battle."
"yes"
Meanwhile, they had already returned to the production team with Uncle Zhou and the others, and saw Gu Zhengsong waiting there at the village entrance. They went up to him and called out, "Uncle Song, are you there?"
"Li Zhiqing, you're finally back! Director Zhou, you're here too!"
Where is your battalion commander?
"At the brigade headquarters."
"Take me to the brigade headquarters, and you few go to the educated youth compound and take control of them."
"Yes, Director Zhou, this is..."
"I'll have to trouble Comrade Gu to gather the militia company together. Remember, they mustn't make a sound."
"yes"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhengsong immediately realized that there was a big problem. He now understood why Li Zhiqing insisted on calling the police. Did the new educated youth have bad influences? But there was no need to gather the militia! Did the bad guys live on the mountain? But would the militia alone be enough?
Meanwhile, Gu Laoqi hadn't slept. He understood what had happened that night. Li Zhiqing's insistence on calling the police must mean something was up. Putting aside others, he could see clearly that Li Zhiqing was exceptionally skilled; dealing with these new educated youths would be no problem for him! Why did he have to get beaten up? It was probably to get into the city. Had he discovered something?
But recently, apart from a few newly arrived educated youth, no one else has come to the village. Could it be that someone has secretly gone into the mountains?
At this moment, Director Zhou brought Li Mianmian to the brigade headquarters and saw Gu Zhengrong sitting there smoking. He said:
"Captain Gu, from now on, apart from the duties of the team leader which you will arrange, I will take over all other responsibilities, including those of the brigade's militia company and the educated youth in the educated youth compound."
"Yes, Director Zhou."
"Captain Gu, aren't you going to ask me why I didn't take over the militia company?"
"I don't know, but I know that with Li Zhiqing's skills, she wouldn't have been able to touch Bai Zhiqing at all. But she was hit and injured by Bai Zhiqing. And when Li Zhiqing said she was going to call the police, I knew there must be something going on."
"So, Captain, you're deliberately pleading for them!"
"No, it's because I know the backgrounds of those families, and none of them are people you can touch right now."
"That's not necessarily true."
"Li Zhiqing, what exactly did you discover that made you go to such lengths?"
“Captain, a week ago I discovered that Comrade Liu Wenwen was secretly giving away food from the educated youth compound to the people on the mountain in the middle of the night. I was puzzled at the time because she had just arrived and didn’t know everyone in the village. How could she be helping others?”
"so what?"
So he secretly followed the person he was helping, only to discover that the person was a bad guy.
"Then why didn't you say so afterwards?"
"How can I put it? Would you believe me if I told you? Would the other members of the brigade believe me? Besides, what if I alerted them?"
"And now?"
"Do what needs to be done now."
"Director Zhou, Battalion Commander, militia members are assembled."
"Notify all militia members to work in two shifts from now on, surrounding the educated youth compound. Not even a fly should be allowed to escape."
"yes"
"Uncle Zhou, what about the mountain?"
"My current task is to control all the educated youth in the educated youth compound."
"What about the mountain?"
"wait"
"wait?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the troops stationed in Tong City are already on their way."
Meanwhile, Wang Shijie, the garrison commander of Tongshi, was assigning personnel: "The 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment will arrive in Fusong County at 8:00 AM tomorrow and temporarily take over the county. Investigate thoroughly to determine if there are any enemies and maintain social order in Fusong County."
"yes"
"Second Battalion and Third Battalion of the Second Regiment, your mission is to arrive at Dayingmin Commune before dark tomorrow night and take over all matters of the commune. At the same time, at 8 PM, with Gujiawaizi Brigade as the target, several surrounding brigades will enter the mountains in a fan shape. If any suspicious persons are found, arrest them on the spot. The requirement is that they must be captured alive."
"yes"
"The three battalions of the Third Regiment, your mission is to infiltrate the mountains from the rear and approach the Gujiawaizi Brigade."
"yes"
"But commander, we don't know the enemy's exact location."
"Reporting to the commander, a phone call."
Whose?
"Beijing Military Region"
"Bring them in"
"yes"
"Hello, this is Wang Shijie."
"Old Wang, that's me, Chen Guangtao."
Commander Chen
"We just conducted a surprise interrogation and confirmed that Liu Wenwen, a new educated youth who came to Gujiawaizi Brigade, is the enemy."
"We understand, but we don't know where the enemy is hiding in the mountains."
"After you've taken control of Liu Wenwen, find a young comrade named Li Mianmian. She's the daughter of Li Zilong and Liu Linjuan, an orphan of a martyr, and a descendant of soldiers. Have her guide you into the mountains."
"Dr. Liu's daughter"
"yes"
"Is she capable?"
"She provided the intelligence."
Okay, got it.
