Chapter 27 Confrontation Exercise: Tongue Scratching

Chapter 27 Confrontation Exercise: Tongue Scratching

In the early morning, with the reveille of the barracks, the horn of the radio station on the opposite Kinmen Island also rang, and a sudden and loud sound of music came across the strait. Li Yunlong asked Secretary Zheng: "What kind of music is this? It's very noisy." Secretary Zheng replied: "The first movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, this is the knock on the door expressing fate." Beethoven? Li Yunlong remembered, a great musician in the West. What do those guys on the other side mean by playing this music? Probably implying that fate has already knocked on your door, and you should quickly make a choice, whether to rush forward and strangle fate's throat, or retreat and escape... Li Yunlong said contemptuously: "Is this the so-called psychological warfare? Nonsense, The entire mainland is lost, and it’s too embarrassing to engage in psychological warfare while occupying a few small islands, isn’t it clamoring to counterattack the mainland? Come on, practice your words.”

The voice of the female announcer over there is really delicate: "Brothers in the Communist Army, good morning, today is the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, which is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every time you miss your relatives, your parents, brothers and sisters , Wife and children are looking forward to your home reunion, but you are squatting in the cold and wet fortifications and facing us across the sea. Parents, wives and children? Who has no love for children..." Li Yunlong, who was watching from the artillery mirror, said: "Secretary Zheng, the enemy has let go of the air balloons, and the front air defense forces are notified to prepare for shooting in the air." There are densely packed milky white air balloons Divided into three layers of low, medium and high altitude, it floated towards the mainland along the north wind, which was part of the opponent's psychological warfare. The lower part of the balloon is covered with promotional materials, food and daily necessities, and even counterfeit RMB. The high-altitude balloon is huge, as high as a two- or three-story building, and its voyage can reach Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other provinces.

There was a burst of gunfire, the anti-aircraft troops opened fire, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns were carrying out blocking fire, and the balloons in the middle and low altitudes were hit, burst, and fell one by one... There was also the roar of fighter jets in the high-altitude clouds. The sound of machine gun firing, this is the air force pilots shooting high-altitude balloons. The other party’s broadcast continued unabated: “…all the soldiers stationed in Kinmen are on the alert, and Kinmen’s defense is impenetrable. Communist pilots, naval ship personnel, and army officers and soldiers, the free world opens its arms and welcomes you to abandon the dark and turn to the bright…” Secretary Zheng said Li Yunlong pulled into the conference room and said quietly: "Commander, I have something to report to you. The newly formed 'Liangshan' detachment recently competed with the military guard company and said it was going to conduct a reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance confrontation exercise. It's the army headquarters." Li Yunlong became interested: "Oh, to be more specific. The Liangshan unit is going to enter the headquarters to catch the 'tongue'. The rule of the exercise is that once the 'tongue' is caught, the Liangshan unit will win." Li Yunlong lit a Cigarettes, very disapproving:

"Look who's going to be arrested. Taking away one of the cooks from the cooking team of the military department is considered a tongue?" Zheng Bo said: "Master Duan said, if you want to arrest, arrest No. 1 person..." Li Yunlong shook off violently. Yan: "What? Grabbing Lao Tzu as a tongue? What the hell is wrong." Zheng Bo said: "Master Duan has just sat in the first place in the Loyalty Hall, and he is preparing to show off the majesty of Liangshan. The first step is to grab No. 1, and if there is a chance in the future, I want to fight against the commander of the military region." Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Okay, it seems that Li has no choice but to fight, I want to see what this village master Duan means. How, when will it start?" "It's 12:00 noon today, and the exercise time is within 24 hours." Li Yunlong ordered: "Notify the guard company, strengthen the guard, and report to me if anyone visits or has any unusual movements. I would like to see if his village master Duan has three heads and six arms?"

Dare to hit Lao Tzu's idea? "Report, Chang Biao, the company commander of the guard, is here to report and ask for instructions from the army commander." Chang Biao was a tall man, wearing a white-washed military uniform and wearing the rank of captain, he looked sharp and agile. Li Yunlong greeted with a smile: "Come, come, sit down, how about it? Are you sure?" Chang Biao touched his heel, raised his chest and said: "I don't believe in this evil, two shoulders carry a head, who is better? Who is so stupid?" Li Yunlong said: "You can't underestimate the enemy, he came prepared, at least he had to have several plans, and that Zhaizhu Duan is a scheming guy. Tell me about your plan." Chang Biao explain:

"First, defending but not attacking is passive defense and the most stupid tactic. And the best defense is attacking. He attacks and I also attack. It's like fighting. There is no set rule for every move. If you hit me on the jaw, I will attack you." Just like you come to the next three roads, the same is true in tactics. If you come to my lair, I can't wait. His idea? Second, Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, "A solid army has no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape. Those who can win because of the enemy's changes are called gods." If a move fails to work, I will change it immediately, so I have also prepared several sets of plans. If the enemy changes, I will change. There is me in you, and you in me.” Secretary Zheng said to Li Yunlong: “A staff officer has been sent by the Operation Department of the Military Region. The observer and referee for this exercise, even Deputy Commander Pi, was interested in this exercise, and said he would spare some time to take a look. A major officer with a yellow referee armband on his left arm stood at attention and saluted Li Yunlong: Report to Commander Li, Yu Lizhong, a major staff officer of the Military Region Operations Department, is ordered to report to you." Li Yunlong asked: "What did Deputy Commander Pi say? He said... Let me follow you all the time until I become a prisoner. Ask me if there is any deception, and finally he asked me to tell you that if you become a prisoner, he will fine you two bottles of Moutai." The major looked very stiff in front of the general. "Nonsense, can I, Li Yunlong, be a prisoner?" Li Yunlong began to review the documents.

Recently, the international situation has been changing. An uprising occurred in Lebanon against the pro-American Chamoun government. Subsequently, a military coup took place in Iraq. The defense chain established by the United States to contain communism on a global scale suddenly broke. Facing the events in the Middle East, the United States responded immediately and strongly from the perspective of global strategy. The United States and Britain sent troops to the Middle East to intervene in Lebanon, Jordan and other countries by force. The Soviet Union and the socialist countries in Eastern Europe also responded accordingly, announcing joint military exercises in the South Caucasus and Turkestan, which are adjacent to the Middle East, and the two camps were tense. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also responded at the same time. In order to cope with the international situation, it decided to launch large-scale shelling on Kinmen and Matsu. After the order of the Military Commission was issued, artillery troops entered the coastal areas of Fujian in large numbers. The artillery group shooting at Kinmen has three directions, Xiamen, Lianhe, and Weitou. Among them, the Lianhe artillery group was set up in Li Yunlong's defense zone. He was carefully considering what advantages and disadvantages each side would have if a large-scale artillery battle started. From the perspective of terrain conditions, our army surrounds Kinmen on three sides in terms of tactical position, and the conditions such as position configuration and firepower utilization are much better than those of the Kuomintang army. However, the coastal areas of the mainland facing Kinmen are mostly flat terrain and small undulating highlands, and the observation conditions are inconvenient. , the artillery positions are easily exposed.

Although the large and small Kinmen guarded by the Kuomintang army were blocked by firepower on three sides, there were many highlands on the island, and their positions were higher than our artillery positions in terrain, and the position configuration was also very concealed. If Kinmen is blocked by firepower, the southern tip of the island faces away from the mainland. Although the Liuluowan Wharf to the south is within the range of the artillery, due to the obstruction of Shuangru Mountain and North Taiwu Mountain, the direction of the mainland cannot be observed, and the impact point is difficult to correct. Due to some sensitive reasons , our air force was unable to dispatch, and the Liangshan detachment was the only way to give Cannon Anshan eyes. Li Yunlong hesitated. He knew very well that this method of sneaking into the enemy's rear was extremely risky. There are nearly 80,000 Kinmen defenders, 50,000 residents, and an area of only 120 square kilometers. The garrison is so dense that once it is discovered, the possibility of survival is almost zero. Li Yunlong was really reluctant to take the Liangshan unit to take risks. These young men with extraordinary skills are not one in a million. He understands that once he signs the order of the special unit to attack, I don’t know how many outstanding fighters will sleep forever on this island. I can't make up my mind. Secretary Zheng and observer Staff Officer Yu walked into the office: "Commander, there is a situation." Li Yunlong looked at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, that is to say, the exercise had started for two hours. Secretary Zheng reported: "The power system of the headquarters is out of order. The power supply bureau sent two maintenance workers to check the circuit, and they have arrived." Li Yunlong sneered:

Whether it's early or late, why is there a power failure right now? Duan Peng, you are younger than me, are you a little tender? Secretary Zheng said: "They were wearing the work clothes of the power supply bureau, and they were driving the emergency repair vehicle of the power supply bureau. Company Commander Chang had already called the power supply bureau to verify the names and occupations of these two people, and there seemed to be no flaws." Li Yunlong did not hesitate. Said: "Don't listen to that, Duan Peng won't get involved with the power supply bureau? These two guys are too suspicious, tell Company Commander Chang, send someone to spy on them, and detain him immediately if there is a loophole." After a while, Chang Biao came in and reported: "Mr. Commander, you really know what you're doing. These two juniors were doing tricks in the main power distribution room. One was watching the wind ghostly, and the other replaced all the fuses of the power grid and lighting circuit in the warning area." , the fuse in the replacement fuse is very thin, and once the power is supplied, it will be blown soon, so the power grid and lighting system will fail. I brought a few soldiers to rush in, who knows that these two are very skilled, A few people will run away if they kill me, can I let them run away?"

"More than 20 of us swarmed up and pushed them down, and now they are locked up." Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Look at these two guys, the people in the Liangshan team are all loach, let them slip away if they don't pay attention. Duan Peng is less than this time because he lost his wife and lost his army." The phone rang, and it was the kindergarten principal calling, and her voice changed in anxiety:

"Commander Li, it's not good, Li Jian is gone." Li Yunlong's head almost exploded with a bang, and he grabbed the microphone and asked repeatedly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly." "Just now I was in the yard with the children Playing on the slide, it disappeared in the blink of an eye." "Has anyone ever been to kindergarten?" Li Yunlong asked. "Except for the food delivery truck, no stranger came. Chief, can you come here? I'm dying of anxiety." The director sobbed. Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and was suddenly happy: "Don't worry, the child can't be lost. I know where he went. You don't need to look for it. It's not your responsibility." He hung up the phone and said to himself: "Duan Peng's idea I made a bit of a fuss and wanted to use my child as a bait to catch me, a big fish. Humph, it’s too small to get on the stage.” The observer and referee, Staff Officer Yu, said unhappily: “This is a bit outrageous, and the exercise should not be too much. How can you kidnap a child? Who will be responsible for something wrong?" Li Yunlong said generously: "The rules of the exercise say that any supernormal means can be used. , my brain is full of flexibility, and I was almost fooled."

After a while, Company Commander Chang came in again to report: "Commander, there is good news. I sent a few skilled soldiers to sneak into their "Loyalty Hall".Unknowingly, they climbed onto their roof and eavesdropped on their conversation. Village Master Duan was assigning a mission. His men were a little discouraged, saying that the two tricks that the village master played were all broken. The famous name of Shuibo Liangshan is probably over. Lao Duan and Lin Han are cheering up the guys, saying that there will be a surprise attack on the headquarters at 12 o'clock tonight, and there will be a "surprise attack on the White Tiger Regiment", which is quite loud. Li Yunlong flipped through the documents and asked casually: "How do you plan to deal with it?" Company Commander Chang smiled confidently: "Sun Tzu said, those who are good at using soldiers hide their appearance, and those who are good at showing them are not. Those who are good at defending hide under the nine grounds, and those who are good at attacking move above the nine heavens." If he wants to sneak attack on me, I'll go ahead and set him up for an ambush at the gate of Liangshan's stronghold in Shuibo, and I'll take two platoons with him. If I can catch Lao Duan, the exercise will be over early. Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "How to use troops is your business. I am your security target. Just don't let others catch me as a tongue." "Li Yunlong's mind is no longer on this exercise. He is thinking about the upcoming artillery battle, calculating the comparison of the artillery strength of the two sides.

Most of the artillerymen of our army have been trained in high-level artillery battles on the Korean battlefield, and they are superior to their opponents in terms of combat experience, and they also have a greater advantage in the number of artillery. But judging from the quality of the artillery, the opponent's artillery has a slight advantage. The artillery of the Kinmen Kuomintang army uses the American-made 155mm howitzer as the backbone of firepower, supplemented by 105mm howitzers and 75mm mountain guns, and the firepower organization is relatively strict. However, our army has a variety of artillery types. In addition to the Soviet-made 152mm and 122mm howitzers as the backbone of firepower, there are also some American-made 155mm and 105mm howitzers and Japanese-made 150mm howitzers captured during the War of Liberation. These old guns were ready to be eliminated, but Li Yunlong calculated like a businessman for a long time, and decided to use up the old guns and their stored ammunition by using this bombardment, and to use large charges for shooting long-distance targets, which seriously damaged the gun bore. , will greatly reduce the life of the artillery, Li Yunlong believes that it is more cost-effective to use old artillery.

There are too many things to consider, such as the transportation of ammunition, the construction of artillery positions, communication issues, how to achieve the suddenness of tactics... At 23 o'clock in the evening, the guard company commander Chang Biao divided the four platoons of the company into two parts, A part of the security command, and the other part led by himself, went to the Liangshan detachment to set up an ambush. According to the exercise plan, blank bullets with no warheads were used in the exercise, and the referee of the exercise judged whether you were injured or killed. Judging from the firepower effect of close-in shooting, the ambushed party had no chance of surviving. Was declared dead by the referee and withdrew from the exercise. Chang Biao decided that Duan Peng must be captured alive, and it would be meaningless to eliminate him. Even if he is excellent in martial arts, I can always subdue him with a squad of soldiers. The terrain at the gate of the village of the Liangshan team is quite suitable for ambushes. A narrow path, lined with sorghum fields, the sorghum has grown to neck height. In the breeze at night, the leaves of sorghum rustled, and under the hazy moonlight, crickets and weavers sang loudly, and there were bursts of noise in the village. I don't know what they are arguing about. According to the pre-plan, Company Commander Chang made a gesture, and dozens of soldiers immediately hid silently into the sorghum fields on both sides. Company Commander Chang was very satisfied when he saw the well-trained tactical movements of the soldiers. All of a sudden, there was a loud noise of people, and the neatly grown sorghum suddenly swayed to and fro. It seemed that many people were rolling in the sorghum field, and the sounds of shouting and fighting were mixed together...Chang Biao suddenly stopped in his tracks. Lightning flashed across his mind, it was broken, he was caught in a trap... Before he had time to think about it, he was swept down by someone. The gate of the village was wide open and the lights were bright. Duan Peng, the owner of the village in Liangshan, was surrounded by his subordinates and walked out of the gate. , our village is suddenly full of splendor..."

The next morning, when Li Yunlong learned that half of the guard company had been killed and the company commander was also captured, he just cursed nonchalantly: "This idiot, after all, has got his way. Duan Peng is so easy to deal with? But now It’s not clear yet, if you can catch me, you’ll win.” Staff Officer Yu, sent by the military region’s combat department, was taking off his shirt and wiping his upper body, and when he saw Li Yunlong coming over, he said, “Commander Li, your washbasin is here , I’ll fetch water for you by the way.” Li Yunlong likes to wash his face and body with cold water, this is the case in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and everyone in the headquarters knows his hobby. He tested the water temperature and found that Staff Officer Yu had mixed hot water, so he said, "You just came here, so you don't know my habits. I never wash my face with hot water." Staff Officer Yu said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had this habit." Li Yunlong poured off the hot water, went to fetch a basin of cold water, and said to the staff while washing his face: "Duan Peng did a good job this time, but now the exercise is over." It's only been a few hours, and now even if someone tells me that my wife is going to hang herself at home, I won't go, let's see what this kid will do with me."

Staff Officer Yu wiped his face with a towel and said: "Although they didn't catch No. 1 person, they took care of half of the guard company. From the effect point of view, it should be considered that they had the upper hand. When the exercise ended at 12 noon, we Accompany you to the Liangshan team, you can give a comment first, and I will decide the winner." Li Yunlong was still a little uneasy, he knew Duan Peng, he is a guy who will never give up until he reaches his goal, not to mention that there are still four days before the end of the exercise. He wouldn't stop even if it was five minutes away, but Li Yunlong couldn't think of any new tricks that Duan Peng could come up with. He ordered the remaining two platoons to withdraw into the office building. Carry out intensive defense and see how Duan Peng comes in. Secretary Zheng came in and said, "Yesterday they sent Li Jian back to the kindergarten, and the principal scolded them so badly that Lao Duan and Lao Lin fell silent." Li Yunlong, Staff Officer Yu, and Secretary Zheng all laughed. Five minutes before 12 o'clock, Staff Officer Yu said to Li Yunlong:

"You won this time, now we can go..." Li Yunlong snorted and said, "Don't worry, I can't go out for a minute, that kid might be waiting for me outside the building, I don't want to let Duan Peng caught me at the last minute, that's so fucking useless." Li Yunlong, Secretary Zheng, and Staff Officer Yu stopped talking, and each of them raised their wrists and stared at their watches, waiting for the time to pass by. It was almost twelve o'clock. When twelve o'clock finally arrived, Li Yunlong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Duan Peng, Duan Peng, even if you are scheming, I can't help you. Let's go to the stockade and see what this kid has to say." Li Yunlong and Secretary Zheng got into Staff Yu's jeep with the referee's logo on it. Staff Yu suddenly remembered the two prisoners in custody and said, "Commander Li, take those two prisoners with you. You will hand over the prisoners to Duan Peng yourself." Li Yunlong He waved his hand and said, "Take it with you. The two captives were sleeping soundly. When they were brought into the jeep, they rubbed their eyes and complained in dissatisfaction: It's hard not to run 10 kilometers off-road today, and I won't let you sleep. Lazy?"

"What are you doing waking us up so early?" Li Yunlong lectured: "Look at the lazy looks of you two, you don't have any sense of collective honor, you are special forces, not ordinary soldiers, it's embarrassing to be captured just like that Sleep in?"

The two soldiers bowed their heads and remained silent after being scolded. The jeep drove into the gate of the village and stopped in front of the Loyalty Hall. Duan Peng and Lin Han led all the heroes to line up to meet the army commander. Li Yunlong jumped out of the car and punched Duan Peng on the chest with a happy smile and said:

"Not bad, not bad. Although I didn't catch my tongue, the overall results are still good. The strategies and tactics are used quite well, but there is one thing. You can't talk big in the future." Duan Peng and the heroes suddenly shouted presumptuously. Laughing made Li Yunlong and Zheng Bo very strange. Duan Peng said: "Commander, you are now my prisoner." Li Yunlong said: "Nonsense, the exercise is over long ago." Staff Officer Yu took a step forward and said: "Report to Commander, I took advantage of your face to wash your face. Your watch was set forward by half an hour, Secretary Zheng's watch was also set forward by half an hour, now, there are five minutes before the end of the exercise."

Li Yunlong said angrily: "How can the exercise referee cooperate with one side? What kind of fucking referee is this?" Staff Officer Yu snapped to attention and said loudly: "Report to the commander; 'I would like to report to you that Staff Officer Yu sent by the Operation Department of the Military Region has been hijacked by us since yesterday, and is now resting in the 'Loyalty Hall'." Li Yunlong was stunned for a while before he woke up, and he looked up to the sky and smiled: "So, I Are you really a prisoner?" "I'm sorry, I'm afraid so." Duan Peng replied respectfully. The real Staff Officer Yu had just been released from the Loyalty Hall. He saluted Li Yunlong and said, "Chief, I was hijacked on the road yesterday. But I saw the whole process of the exercise. The two tricks of pretending to be a worker of the power supply bureau and hijacking children They are all blindfolds to divert the other party's attention, and the counter-ambush is just taking advantage of the sheep. It is really a pre-arranged plan, which is the "self-casting net" just now. Needless to say, it's a good job, and the Liangshan team really lives up to its reputation." Li Yunlong said proudly : "Of course, this is just a small test, and the future will last forever."
