Shao Fei came to Xuzhou, and General Sun Zhen immediately sent people to meet the arrangement. First arranged for Zhang Xuanwu to be admitted to a church hospital, and then arranged for the Sixth Company to be stationed in Xuzhou, the Sichuan army.

Early the next morning, General Sun Zhen brought people to visit Shao Fei. And Shao Fei was preparing to go to the church hospital with Yang Hongtao and Liu Ying to visit Zhang Xuanwu and more than 20 wounded people from the Sixth Company.

The two men happened to meet at the gate of the station.

"Shao Fei!" Sun Zhen shouted.

Shao Fei and the three of them immediately stepped forward and saluted together, and Shao Fei asked, "General, have you come to inspect the troops so early?"

Sun Zhen sighed slightly and said, "There are only a few thousand people left in my 23rd Group Army, and the establishment is all chaotic, and there is nothing to inspect." I came to see you. ”

Shao Fei lowered his head and smiled: "I'm a little flattered."

Sun Zhen turned to a general on the side and introduced: "This is General Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the Fifth Theater, I heard that you came to Xuzhou and came here to visit."

Shao Fei saluted again and shouted in a loud voice: "Good general!"

Xu Zuyi returned a military salute and replied with a smile: "Hello." It's really better to be famous than to meet, what a young hero. The information about you is as thick as a dozen pieces of paper, and most of it is that you are helping the national army fight. Even our General Li Zongren found it incredible. ”

"It's over. I still have the same old saying, Chinese soldiers do not distinguish between each other. ”

"This is the consciousness of a soldier."

After Xu Zuyi finished speaking, he motioned to Sun Zhen: "Look at ......"

Sun Zhen said to Shao Fei: "Our two generals came here on purpose, one is to visit, and the other is to discuss something with you alone."

Alone, Shao Fei looked at Liu Ying and Yang Hongtao beside him, and said, "Okay, but the two of them also want to be together." The three of us are a whole, I am in charge of the special combat team, she is in charge of medical security, and this person is not under me because he is young, he is the company commander of the sixth company. ”

"Oh?" Xu Zuyi carefully raised a large number of Hongtao, who was less than twenty years old, and had such ability, and asked, "What's your name?"

Yang Hongtao saluted and replied, "Report!" Yang Hongtao. ”

Xu Zuyi looked down again, and his eyebrows were a little similar to that person, so he asked, "Do you know Yang Hongzhi?"

Yang Hongtao was a little surprised and replied, "It's my eldest brother."

"Hahaha" Xu Zuyi laughed and said, "No wonder he has such ability."

Yang Hongtao asked repeatedly: "Do you know my brother?" Where is he now? ”

"I can't say much here. General Sun ......"

"Okay, I got it."

Sun Zhen led them to his own headquarters and broke everyone up. There were only five of them left in the room.

Sun Zhen opened the map of Xuzhou and said: "Last night, the vanguard of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army captured Lincheng, and now it is assembling about 40,000 troops. Probably the day after tomorrow to launch an attack on the Taierzhuang defensive line. On the defensive was Sun Lianzhong's Northwest Army of the Second Army. ”

Shao Fei asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Xu Zuyi said: "Shao Fei, I have read all the information about you, and carefully studied your tactics. You are a genius in special warfare, and if you are asked to defend your position and defend the city, it will be a tyrannical thing. ”

As he spoke, Xu Zuyi pointed to a point on the map and said to Shao Fei: "Our main line of defense is in Taierzhuang, south of the canal. I hope you can be active on the northern line of the canal, Jiaoshan in the south of Zaozhuang, and the whole mountain. When the battle starts, this will be the rear of the Japanese army, and the headquarters wants you and your troops to fight in the enemy's backyard to relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield. ”

Shao Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a specific task?"

Xu Zuyi replied: "It is impossible for the command to know the specific situation behind enemy lines, generally speaking, no. The enemy's logistics, communications, lines of communication, headquarters, etc., are all targets for your attacks. ”

Shao Fei smiled and said, "General, you seem to know a lot about special operations."

Xu Zuyi chuckled and said, "If you need anything, just speak." I'll also give you a radio station that can be connected directly to the Fifth Theater Command, as well as the Second Army. ”

"What equipment you need, I'll ask General Sun Zhen later. I just want to ask, do we have an air force? ”

Shao Fei's question shocked Xu Zuyi, he didn't expect an Eighth Route Army to come up with the word "Air Force".

Shao Fei explained: "We not only have to attack important targets behind enemy lines, but we are also the eyes of the command to transmit information back. There is also the guidance of the air force, bombing some targets that we cannot accomplish. ”

"There is an airport in Wuhan that is responsible for the defense of the skies over Wuhan. The Air Force is directly under the Ministry of Defense...... Let's not talk about that yet. How do you guide without latitude and longitude? It's a bit whimsical, but the enemy has absolute air supremacy. ”

Xu Zuyi felt unbelievable, and the order of his speech was a little confusing.

"Not during the day, but at night. I use the firelight to guide, and a compass is enough. As long as the battle is made quickly, and by the time the enemy's radar detects the air force, our bombers will have already flown back to the base. Also, the 10th Division did not have anti-aircraft guns for air defense. Even if I had, I would kill him as soon as possible. ”

Shao Fei's words made Xu Zuyi a little moved, so he said: "Okay, this matter is too big, I can't give you an accurate answer." You only have one day to prepare, and tomorrow you have to go. ”

Following Xu Zuyi's words, Sun Zhen said: "I will give you command of my special operations company, and each of them is one in a hundred." As for what you need, give me a list before noon and I will definitely be satisfied. ”

"Wait." At this time, Liu Ying interjected: "General, since you are willing to give up your spy company, you shouldn't be stingy with your health team." I want the one that Tengxian withdraws, after all, it's all cooked. ”

Sun Zhen and Xu Zuyi looked at each other, and replied briskly: "What's wrong with this." But they are now in Pei County, and I called them to come over. ”

After the discussion, Shao Fei and the three of them left first and went to the church hospital to visit Zhang Xuanwu together.

After the three of them left, Xu Zuyi couldn't help but sigh: "This person is different, and the information of the military commander is only limited to the period when he was still in Yunnan with the Red Army." What he used to do and which military school he graduated from has always been a mystery. Even the Whampoa-born officers did not have anything like him. ”

Sun Zhen thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be a foreign one?"

Xu Zuyi shook his head and said, "Absolutely impossible, don't underestimate our intelligence department." Also, even if he came back from a foreign country, how could the Red Army call him a squad leader. His mode of operation is called special operations, which is the so-called unconventional operations. I have consulted German advisers on this tactic, which is just emerging in Europe and is not yet mature. But Shao Fei played like fire and pure gold two years ago. Ground guidance, air-ground combat, I have never heard of it. ”

Sun Zhen suddenly thought of Shao Fei's words before, and said to Xu Zuyi: "He just said radar, right, I rarely hear this word." He is the Eighth Route Army, how can he know this, he seems to know the Air Force very well. ”

Xu Zuyi began to doubt Shao Fei's identity, so he instructed Sun Zhen: "This person's identity is extraordinary. General Sun, I will send someone into your spy company, and I will find out his identity and origin. Perhaps his own value will be far beyond our imagination. ”
