《Wujiang Introduction》
Author: Pompeii
Publication date: February 2022
5G is a wireless communication technology, and the CCP has long had excellent wireless warfare in its history.
In the bloody battle of the XiangJiang River in the Long March of the Red Army, the Central Red Army was sharply reduced from 80,000 to 30,000 people, and where to go after that was crucial to the life and death of the entire army. The diversion of troops through the passage played a crucial role in deciphering intelligence by the Second Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission. Zeng Xisheng, Cao Xiangren, and Zou Bizhao, the Second Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, successfully deciphered almost all the cryptographic intelligence of the Kuomintang army, but the Kuomintang army found nothing about the Red Army. This is a miracle in the military history of mankind, an isolated case in the history of intelligence warfare. Comrade Mao Zedong said with emotion: "Without the second bureau, the Long March would be unimaginable. With the second inning, we were like walking at night with a lantern. ”
The book takes this history as the background, based on the first-hand information provided by a large number of declassified archives and "deciphering the three masters" descendants, and supplemented by literary imagination on the basis of objective historical facts. The main story of the whole book takes place between the breakthrough of the main force of the Red Army in early January 1935 and the crossing of the Wujiang River in the south at the end of March, during which there are major events such as the Zunyi Conference, the Great Victory of Loushan Pass and the Four Crossings of Chishui, which are also the most critical and dramatic brilliant movements in the Long March.
Walking in their own ranks, their identities are unknown. The novel is divided into two parts: "sketch" and "silhouette", the former is the battlefield notes of the second inning, and the latter is the search for this secret history by posterity. The novel uses this kind of polyphonic brushwork between virtual reality to reproduce history, and uses the activities in the secret front, the growth history of the "deciphering the three masters" of the Second Bureau of the Central Military Commission, and the search for posterity, cleverly connecting the entire revolutionary history of the Red Army, such as the Long March, the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the War of Liberation, and comprehensively presents the huge role played by the hidden front in the history of our army. The whole book has both the thrill of secret warfare and the grandeur of the frontal battlefield. Time changes easily, and in the depths of time, there is still the youth of that generation, which is their faith, wisdom and original intention. "As long as someone remembers, they live."
