In the summer of 1942, the Central China Bureau and the New Fourth Army Headquarters decided that the First Division would dispatch radio operators and translators to accompany He Kexi to eastern Zhejiang to establish a radio station in order to liaise with Yan'an and the New Fourth Army.
At that time, Qin Ji was working as a telegraph operator in the headquarters of the First Division, and was also selected to be transferred to the guerrilla column in eastern Zhejiang as the director of radio telegraphy. In 1943, the Zhejiang Eastern Army established a united front relationship with the 88th regiment and the 89th regiment of the 30th Division of the Miscellaneous Army, which were excluded by the Kuomintang, and wanted to communicate with them on the radio station, and Qin Ji was designated to be in charge of liaison once a day.
The radio signals and signaling methods of the two regiments of the Nationalist Army remained unchanged, and after several telegram exchanges, Qin Ji completely grasped their characteristics.
In the autumn of 1943, the two regiments were reorganized by the anti-communist diehards of the Kuomintang and became the fourth and fifth advancing columns belonging to the Third Theater, and in coordination with He Yufang's third advancing column, they prepared to encircle and suppress the Zhejiang eastern troops of the New Fourth Army.
However, at this time, Qin Ji had fully mastered the radio liaison network between the forward headquarters of the recalcitrant army and the fourth and fifth advancing columns. He tried to use the gap in his work to copy their password telegrams, and when he had time to study the codes alone.
Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater
On December 1, 1943, Qin Ji heard the "Tingsi" radio station send a secret report to the radio station where he stayed behind in his old nest, saying: We will meet soon, and we will no longer agree on the next contact time. After saying that, turn off the antenna and prepare to go.
Qin Ji carefully studied this secret report, translated the time and place of the report at the end of the report, determined the time and place of the "Tingsi" issuance, and made a report to his superiors. The chiefs immediately mobilized their troops to ambush this reactionary faction on their only way, killing and wounding more than 600 people and taking more than 200 prisoners.
Just when Qin Ji had studied some doorways from the secret report and deciphered them, at the end of 1943, our army captured Zhangzhen. Yan Fei, the captain of the radio station, led a messenger to check the enemy command post and brought back some food and a stack of documents. Everyone was busy making food, but Qin Ji was more interested in this stack of documents.
When he looked at it carefully, Qin Ji found that there were 5 outdated telegram text manuscripts in the document, he immediately picked out these telegrams, and after looking at the time of their reporting and the number of words, he hurriedly took out all the copied password telegrams to check, and sure enough, he found 5 password telegrams that could be matched. This is equivalent to opening a breakthrough in the codebook of the recalcitrant army.
Qin Ji went from point to line, guessed and judged, and after a few days, he finished translating the code and telegram that had been copied first, and the reactionaries' codebook was basically deciphered. This was the first codebook that Qin Ji deciphered the enemy army, and it was issued by the Third Theater of the Kuomintang Army to the Forward Command and its subordinate departments for special use.
Judging from the deciphering situation at that time, this should be a five-code special edition of more than two hundred pages. Usually the telegram is a group of four codes, because it is more than a hundred pages, there are 20,000 words and compounds, so it takes a group of five codes to accommodate.
At the beginning, encountering such a difficult codebook, for Qin Ji, who was inexperienced at the time, it would have been very nerve-wracking to decipher it. Fortunately, Yan Fei obtained these telegram manuscripts, and it happened that the code Qin Ji translated from these telegrams was copied in advance.
Not long after, this came in handy, and Qin Ji deciphered an emergency telegram from the forward headquarters of the recalcitrant army, ordering all parts of the road to attack the eastern Zhejiang column. After Qin Ji translated it, he hurriedly sent it to the chief. They were eating breakfast and immediately put down their dishes and chopsticks to read the telegram.
In 1945, the Zhejiang East Column took a group photo with the rescued American pilots, and the second from the right was Tan Qilong, the political commissar of the Zhejiang East Column
Because it was a newly deciphered code, the translation of the message was incomplete, especially the place name, and could not be deciphered without map checking. The chief immediately took a map in 50,000, personally searched for place names, corrected and supplemented the telegram. Then he asked Qin Ji to sit down and eat breakfast together, eating rice noodles from Zhejiang Dongshui, and happily said to him while eating: "Comrade Qin Ji, this is great!" You don't want to do the briefing desk, specialize in code breaking! Find two more operators to help you copy the newspaper. And gave Qin Ji a map for special use.
Qin Ji officially threw himself into the cause of technical reconnaissance and pioneered the radio technology reconnaissance work of the Zhejiang Eastern Guerrilla Column of the New Fourth Army, code-named "Second Station." This was unique among the equivalent brigades of our army at that time.
After the basic deciphering of this secret copy, with the increase in the number of translated telegrams, not only did the words of the secret copy become more and more abundant, but more importantly, Qin Ji grasped the general rules of the enemy's code compilation and was able to directly decipher the secret copies used by various national armies in the Third Theater.
Later, the Third Theater of the Kuomintang Army changed the secret copies several times, and they were also quickly deciphered by Qin Ji one by one. Later, they encrypted it again, and they couldn't stop Qin Ji.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the eastern Zhejiang troops withdrew north to lianshui concentration in northern Jiangsu and reorganized into the Third Brigade of the First Column of the New Fourth Army. Qin Ji was transferred to the headquarters of the first column to inform Tai as the captain.
In June 1946, a full-scale civil war was about to break out. Commander Ye Fei of the column, political commissar Lai Chuanzhu, and Tan Qilong, deputy political commissar of the column, were all well-versed in radio technology reconnaissance, and they were determined to establish the column's own radio technology reconnaissance means.
On the recommendation of Deputy Political Commissar Tan, Ye Fei dispatched Qin Ji to specialize in technical reconnaissance, and the code name was "Wutai." The "five stations" are under the direct leadership of the column chief, and after deciphering the secret information, they report directly to the column chief.
After accepting this special task, Qin Ji began to make preparations, and from the three sections, he asked for several old-fashioned news receivers that were common to the radio stations at that time, and worked hard day and night to study and break the codes of the various departments of the National Army of the Xuzhou Appeasement Office.
At the beginning of October 1946, The Xuzhou Jiang Army began to invade the base areas on a large scale, and its radio stations all used modern American telegraph machines, which could both inform and talk, and were both fast and convenient to use.
At this time, Qin Ji remembered that when Deputy Political Commissar Tan was in eastern Zhejiang, he had an American-style mini-newspaper and dual-use receiver for listening to the news, and Qin Ji told the situation, and Deputy Political Commissar Tan immediately handed it over to Qin Ji for use.
This miniature light teleportation and dual-use receiver given to Qin Ji by Deputy Political Commissar Tan was donated by the American pilot after he was rescued by the guerrilla column in eastern Zhejiang in early 1945. Qin Ji often hung it on his body, and the battery was placed in the horse bag, so that even when riding a horse, he could detect the enemy platform at close range.
At the end of October 1946, the enemy in Lunan was dispatched in an all-round way in an attempt to attack Linyi through Xiangcheng and Lanling. Lest our army counterattack, we act cautiously and cautiously, advancing day and night, advancing only 7 kilometers in three days. However, the troops have been dispersed, and the central integrated Seventy-seventh Division is more prominent. Our army is determined to fight back.
In this battle, Qin Ji completely grasped the operational dynamics of the enemy's regiments, but because Commander Ye was commanding at the top of the mountain, Qin Ji was in the village under the mountain, and it took an hour for the correspondent to send an intelligence back and forth, and the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. In particular, when the information on the enemy's preparations for evacuation was finally delivered, the enemy had already used the night to escape secretly.
After the battle, Ye Fei took the initiative to propose: "I want to rely on you to win the battle, and in the future you must follow me closely and don't leave." Since then, Under the direct leadership of Ye Fei, Qin Ji has marched and fought without leaving his left and right.
During the battle, in the column command post on the battlefield, on one side, the combat staff officer guarded the wired telephone, and on the other side, Qin Ji guarded the wireless telephone. In this way, on the one hand, Qin Ji was able to keep abreast of the commander's intentions and combat situation with our side and promptly search for the enemy situation that was most needed; on the other hand, Ye Fei was able to directly use the first-hand enemy information at any time.
In early November 1946, the enemy adjusted its deployment to wait for an opportunity to attack the east again. Our army is determined to attack the enemy's reorganized Seventy-seventh Division, which is in the process of being mobilized between Taierzhuang and Fengxian. At midnight on 30 November, our army launched an all-out offensive against the entire Seventy-seventh Division. The next night, Commander Chen Yi and Commander Ye were discussing advances and retreats. Commander Ye asked Qin Ji, "Are there any signs of wavering in front of the entire seventy-seven commanders of the enemy army?" ”
This was the first time That Qin Ji had encountered Commander Ye asking such a question, and he had no actual combat experience and did not know how to answer it. After a moment of silence, Qin Ji suddenly remembered that he had learned during the reconnaissance that the enemy was adding pontoon bridges to the South Canal and immediately reported it. Subsequently, our army also decided to withdraw from the battle that night.
Later, Qin Ji listened to Commander Chen Yi say in summing up the counterattack in Fengnan that the enemy was preparing for the rear road by adding pontoon bridges, which showed that the enemy had begun to waver, which was originally a very good fighter, but unfortunately we lacked sufficient troops and could not continue to fight; if we could concentrate more superior forces, we would not have fought such a war of attrition.
In the future, at the critical juncture of the decisive victory between the enemy and us, Commander Ye would often ask Qin Ji such questions, and Qin Ji would report to him the relevant information he had collected for him to judge, and Commander Ye was very satisfied with this.
In November 1946, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized more than 20 brigades and attacked the base areas in 4 routes at the same time, in a vain attempt to quickly sever the connection between northern Jiangsu and Shandong. On one of the roads, the reorganized 11th Division, with its five main forces, together with the reorganized 69th Division, moved from Susu to Muyang and Xin'an towns.
Shandong Noji was determined to concentrate the strength of 24 regiments, advance north and south, and make a surprise attack over a long distance to annihilate the enemy's faster advancing subei road.
On December 9, after six consecutive nights of forced marching, a column arrived at the scheduled campaign assembly site in Northern Subei before dawn on the 15th, and most of the friendly troops also entered the campaign assembly area.
On this day, when the column was preparing to deploy the battle according to the orders of Shandong Noji, the front finger of The mountain field suddenly ordered a column to intercept and annihilate the enemy who was now fleeing south, and not to return to Suqian City. However, after the various brigades attacked, they did not see the enemy fleeing. At night, piles of illuminated firewood were lit around the villages occupied by the enemy, and in the light of the fire, the enemy soldiers were rushing to repair the fortifications to strengthen the defense.
Commander Ye felt that the situation was not right, so he asked Qin Ji doubtfully, is there any sign that the enemy army has shaken and retreated? Qin Ji said that the radio communication between the enemy troops was normal, and no changes were heard.
After careful study, Ye Fei ordered the brigades to withdraw quickly in the second half of the night, at 3 a.m. on the 16th. Before dawn, the troops withdrew to the area west of Fengshan Mountain, but the Third Brigade Headquarters failed to contact the Eighth and Ninth Regiments, which continued to advance deep into the enemy.
The two regiments of the Third Brigade went deep into the enemy's depths alone, and the situation was unknown and they did not know where they had gone. While the head of the column was anxious about this, Qin Ji overheard the radio report of Hu Lian's division headquarters that the communist army had reached 300 meters outside his village. Commander Ye immediately concluded that the Eighth and Ninth Regiments, which had lost contact, were actively seeking an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Deputy Commander He Kexi immediately went to the headquarters of the Third Brigade in person to direct the reception.
At 15:00, the Eighth and Ninth Regiments, together with the Ninth Regiment of the Third Brigade, calmly withdrew from the battle, annihilated most of the engineer battalion and cavalry battalion of the Eleventh Division, destroyed their artillery regiments, and captured more than 600 enemy soldiers. The enemy was terrified and retreated into Suqian City.
On the night of the 16th, the column command post entered the position with the combat troops interspersed with the enemy position, and when it passed between Fengshan and Xiaodianzi, the Eighth Division of the Friendly Neighbor was attacking Xiaodianzi, when it suddenly rumbled a burst of artillery, and the shells fell not far away, and the ground shook.
Commander Ye rode on his horse and said to himself, "What kind of cannon is this?" I don't think I've heard such a cannon yet! Qin Ji rode behind Commander Ye, wearing small headphones on his head, and in the darkness his fingers touched the large dial of the tabloid talkie, and immediately responded: "This is Hu Lian's entire eleventh division to test fire a large-caliber howitzer, preparing fire to support Xiaodianzi, and is asking the pre-third brigade to correct the impact point." ”
American 105 howitzer
Commander Ye suddenly realized: "No wonder the sound is not ordinary, now it is a test shot, and the following must be put together." Commander Ye's voice had just fallen, and the XiaodianZi Enemy's Third Brigade over there had already reported the corrected data. Then I saw only a burst of fire, the artillery fire came suddenly, the battlefield was suddenly full of artillery fire, the mountains shook, and one after another flares hung in the air, tracer bombs flew all over the sky, plus the enemy occupied a circle of illuminating wood burned in various villages, and the fire and small fire illuminated half of the sky.
The column command positions were facing the enemy on all sides, and inside the simple shelter department, the commander and the combat staff officer held a telephone, and Deputy Political Commissar Tan and Qin Ji guarded the telephone, and there was a military map of one-fifty-thousandth on each side, and the four people were huddled together. Artillery fire was taking place on the ground, planes roared in the sky, and telephones and intercoms in the shelter department rang non-stop.
Because radio communication was Qin Ji's old profession, coupled with his experience in deciphering codes and having been trained in various major wars, he was able to quickly crack enemy codes and translate them on the spot into the intelligence language familiar to the chief.
In this way, Commander Ye was able to grasp the battle situation more comprehensively and accurately through the telephone and telephone, have a thorough understanding of every move of the enemy and us on the battlefield, and make a correct judgment in a timely manner.
In the Subei Campaign, whether or not the link between the enemy's entire Eleventh Division and the entire Sixty-ninth Division was the key to ensuring the complete annihilation of the Entire Sixty-ninth Division. After being wedged through the night of December 16, a column was inserted into the depths of the enemy like a double-edged sword. On the other hand, yizhong itself was also surrounded by enemy troops, and the situation was extremely difficult.
From 8 o'clock on the 17th, the vanguard of the 118th Brigade of the entire Eleventh Division, under the cover of aircraft artillery, stormed the position of the 7th Regiment of the 1st Column to the north, and the enemy of Xiaodianzi also dispatched to attack Santai Mountain to the south. The Seventh Regiment fought until nearly noon under the enemy's north-south attack, and its position stood still.
At 13:00, the main force of the 118th Brigade on the enemy's left wing avoided Santai Mountain, and under the cover of aircraft artillery, took turns charging, trying to detour our army's flank and meet the entire Sixty-ninth Division, and after fierce fighting, the position was captured by the enemy. The enemy then attacked the last position of the Seventh Regiment.
If the peak mountain is not protected, the only passage of the first column will be cut off, and the first column will be besieged by the enemy on all sides and fall into a desperate situation. Commander Ye gave the Seventh Regiment the order not to lose its last position, and transferred the first battalion of the Sixth Regiment to reinforce the main position of the Seventh Regiment.
The Seventh Regiment wrote a military order to the head of the column that "man is in the position", determined to coexist and die with the position. At the same time, Commander Ye also asked the First Brigade to draw out 4 main battalions as reserves of the column, assemble on standby in cover, and scheduled to scatter these 4 battalions at 17:00 in the evening to launch a sudden counterattack against the enemy to ensure that the last position was not breached.
Two regiments of the 118th Brigade on the left flank of the enemy, under the cover of 12 bombers and a howitzer regiment, launched one fierce attack after another on the last position of our army. At the same time that the first column and the entire Eleventh Division were fiercely fighting, Dai Zhiqi also thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and ordered the Pre-Third Brigade to take advantage of the void to attack our army's positions to the north, and then enter zhanfeng Mountain after winning the hand, hoping to cooperate with the entire eleventh division to kill them.
Hu Lian also wanted to give another fatal blow at this critical moment, so that a regiment of the eighteenth brigade, the elite main force on his right wing, immediately joined the attack on the seventh regiment. At 16:00, the regiment reported to Hu Lian that it was ready to attack.
At this moment, Commander Ye remained still still, calm and composed, and Qin Ji calmly reported these enemy situations to Commander Ye word by word; when Qin Ji said that a regiment of the enemy's Eighteenth Brigade was about to cooperate with the 118th Brigade and immediately put into an attack, Commander Ye suddenly looked down and resolutely made up his mind to break the cauldron and sink the boat: "The reserve team will strike immediately, and it will survive in this move!" ”
Commander Ye then ordered the Seventh Regiment to counterattack the enemy's left flank and front. That was nearly an hour earlier than the original counterattack time.
At 16:10, the 4 battalions of the First Brigade pounced on the enemy's right flank with an unstoppable force; the 7th Regiment counterattacked the enemy's left flank. The main force of the eighteenth brigade of the enemy's right wing was about to start attacking, when they suddenly saw qin ji's army coming from behind the flank, caught off guard, suddenly confused, and retreated in a hurry, and its regimental headquarters radio operator shouted to the brigade headquarters: "The main force of the communist army counterattacks!" The main force of the communist army counterattacked! Let's retreat..." The greeting was not finished, and he hurriedly shut down and fled south.
The enemy's right wing was lost, and its left wing also collapsed in its entirety. Taking advantage of the victory, our army pursued until Tangjiahu Lake, approached Cao Jiaji, the brigade headquarters of the enemy's 18th Brigade, and captured more than 400 enemy soldiers.
At this time, Commander Ye asked Qin Ji, "How is Hu Lian?" Qin Ji knew that Commander Ye was going to deploy troops according to Hu Lian's movements, and at this moment he was listening to Hu Lian's command platform and heard Hu Lian anxiously asking how the Eighteenth And Eighteenth Brigades were doing. The answer is that the main force of the communist army counterattacked. And asked how many troops? The answer was that the offensive was fierce and the number of troops was unknown.
Hu Lian felt that something was wrong with the signs, could not understand the details of our army, and quickly ordered to retract to Suqian to protect himself. As for Dai Zhiqi of the reorganized Sixty-ninth Division of his friendly forces, he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate.
Commander Ye listened to Qin Ji talk about these situations of the enemy's entire Eleventh Division, and said: "This Hu Lian, if you want to get a bargain, you didn't catch it, and as soon as we counterattacked, we did the eighth head reduction." Therefore, he only left a small number of troops to guard and monitor Hu Lian's entire Eleventh Division, and the main force quickly withdrew to deal with Dai Zhiqi's entire Sixty-ninth Division.
After 8 hours of bitter fighting, the column defeated the northern aid of Hu Lian's entire Eleventh Division, completely reversed the dangerous situation, and laid the foundation for a victory in the steady annihilation of the entire Sixty-ninth Division of the enemy. Commander Chen Yi was anxious about the situation, and when he heard this good news, he was relieved, applauded the case, and called to congratulate him.
Hu Lian's entire eleventh division actually paid great attention to secrecy when using the radio, and there was a trick that was "radio silence", the radio would never come out when the wired electricity was connected, and when the wired electricity was not connected, it would also send people and send letters by car as much as possible. He can't do anything about it without turning it on.
However, the wartime situation is changing rapidly, and there are always times when it is necessary to start the opportunity, so his move is often ineffective, and in an emergency, he still has to leak confidential information and be intercepted and detected by our army.
At dawn on the 18th, Qin Ji heard that Hu Lian had ordered the Eighteenth Brigade to come to the rescue. The brigade sent one unit to attack the north, and as soon as it appeared, it was ambushed by our army, losing more than four hundred people, and since then this enemy army has not dared to come forward again.
Dai Zhiqi saw that reinforcements were hopeless, so he had to order the Sixtieth Brigade to break through, and Qin Ji heard that both of them would break through to the east at 16:00 and meet the division headquarters at Renheping. Commander Ye said that he was shaken, and since he wanted to break through, he would let him out to fight. Even if the second brigade and the four regiments opened one side, let him out into the field, and then annihilated him.
Sure enough, the enemy all fled in a daze, and the mountain artillery of the first column fired a few shells, which disrupted its formation, and the ambush troops on all sides then surged out, the enemy scattered in all directions, and the guards of the command post of the first column also rushed out to grab the prisoners.
After the Battle of Subei, the "Five Stations" added 4 captured American-style telephones, and when there was no war in peacetime, they opened one or two stations with two assistants on duty in turn to monitor, search the whole band, and whenever there was a situation, they added machines to ask Qin Ji to take the machine and reconnoiter at the same time. In wartime, all the machines were turned on, and as soon as the enemy radio was turned on, it could not escape the ears of our army.
After the Battle of Subei, the Shandong Field Army and the Central China Field Army were merged into the East China Field Army. Chief Huaye was determined to launch the Lunan Campaign, and the northern front concentrated the strength of the first column and the brother troops with a total of 27 regiments, first seeking to annihilate the main force of the longhai road north and the enemy's middle road, Ma Liwu. In addition, with 24 regiments of troops, it served as a defense in the eastern and western areas of Muyang in the southern Jiangsu and northern Parts of longhai Road, blocking the enemy's northward advance on the southern front.
On New Year's Day 1947, as soon as the column reached the battle assembly position after a continuous march, Qin Ji immediately set up four large news machines, inserted a small horn, and indicated to the commander the number of his troops and the location of the station according to the signal and voice characteristics of the enemy's radio.
The 2nd Brigade of the 1st Column launched an attack at 20:00 on the evening of January 2, and within two hours it cleared the villages outside Bian Zhuang, but the enemy 506 Regiment could not resist it, and at 16:00 the next day began to break out to the west, most of which were intercepted by friendly troops; the first column only intercepted the rear part and captured two anti-defense guns.
Commander Ye was very unhappy after learning of the report on the results of the battle, and said: "The situation is so clearly grasped, but only a few tail hairs have been caught. Fortunately, Yang Cai sent the same to the brother troops, and finally did not give him an escape! ”
Ma Liwu, commander of the reorganized 26th Division, commander of the Lunan Enemy Middle Road, left his troops and drove to Yixian to attend the New Year's Day party to watch the Beijing Opera on new Year's Day after a dinner at the division headquarters on New Year's Day, and he still had not returned to the army by the evening of January 2. After the start of the night, the road was blocked by our army and he could not go back, and the wired telephone and ground contact were cut off by our army, so he had no choice but to use a radio radio to remotely control the command.
Ma Liwu knew that the situation was not good, and quickly asked Xue Yue of Xuzhou for instructions, asking for permission for his troops to retreat. However, our army did not wait for the enemy to retreat, and on the night of January 3 launched a full-scale onslaught. The 1st And 2nd Brigade of the 1st Column attacked from the east.
Before dawn, Qin Ji overheard the commander of the rapid column discussing the breakthrough deployment with Ma Liwu. At this time, the position of the first column was at the easternmost end, but the enemy army was breaking through to the west, and Commander Ye did not wait for Noji's orders, and ordered the brigades to prepare to attack.
At 10 o'clock on January 4, the enemy all fled westward, and the main force of our army attacked and pursued the enemy from multiple roads. The enemy's westward road has been blocked. Moreover, on this day, the clouds are dense, the clouds are extremely low, and the enemy planes cannot be in the air. Under the powerful attack of all units of our army, the enemy has been seriously confused. The various units of our army also staggered with each other and launched a great contest to capture prisoners in the melee.
The mechanized troops of the enemy army were all driven by our army into the depression of the leaky lake on the south side of the road, fell into the mud and could not move, and were completely annihilated. The first column chased and intercepted from the east, only intercepting the 239th Regiment of the 80th Brigade of the enemy's rapid column, capturing more than a thousand people under the regimental commander. At 15:00, the enemy's entire army was destroyed, and the battle ended in victory.
When he withdrew from the battlefield that night, Commander Ye rode on his horse and turned back to Qin Ji happily and said, "We only caught the tail of the 506th Regiment in Bian Zhuang, fortunately, your intelligence was fast, and I earned back a whole regiment of the rapid column, all of which were submachine guns!" We are in the east, and if we take a slow step, we will not have our share! ”
Ye Fei (first from the left)
Beginning in late September 1947, the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 8th Columns of our East China Field Army crossed the Longhai Road, marched into the Yuwan Su, swept through the Central Plains, and carried out a major attack on the Longhai Road and Jinpu Road. In November, Yizhong was ordered to break the Jinpu Railway between Xuzhou and Suxian. On the evening of the 15th, it entered the southern suburbs of Xuzhou, shelled the strongholds on the outskirts of the city, and attacked and occupied the Sanbao Station 15 kilometers south of Xuzhou, overturning the railway, blowing up bridges, and seriously threatening Xuzhou.
That night, when the first column was preparing to leave, Qin Ji heard a report from the enemy's reorganized 75th Division in Suxian County to the general of Xuzhou, saying that the radio station would suspend contact. At that time, he did not know why, and he was suspicious. In the evening, after our army advanced into Xuzhou, by the next morning, we overheard that the shen chengnian troops of the reorganized Seventy-fifth Division were actually going to move south from Xuzhou and attack the back of the line unexpectedly through the second fort to the third fort.
At this time, Qin Ji was in a trance and hurried to report. Commander Ye was very surprised, saying that Shen Chengnian's division was in Su County in the south, so how did he suddenly come out of Xuzhou in the north? It should be attacked from the south to the north, and our army cannot be attacked from the north to the south. He also said that Noji's telegram clearly told us that the reorganized Seventy-fifth Division was in Su County, and that we wanted to defend him from the south.
Saying that, Tang Yan, the chief of the operations section, asked him to take out a telegram and show it to Qin Ji. After Qin Ji saw it, he said that yesterday he was in SuXian County, and the radio station had been in contact with Xuzhou. However, in the evening, when our troops gathered and prepared to leave, we heard him say on the radio that contact was suspended, and somehow at that time, it was now clear that it should be transported north by train, and I would arrive in Xuzhou before I arrived.
He also explained the technical basis of this information. Commander Ye concluded that the intelligence was true, and ordered a rapid adjustment of the deployment to meet the battle, which shattered the enemy's dream of intercepting the back of our army.
In every battle, the enemy could be predicted first and the movement of the nationalist army was accurately grasped, and the chief of noji felt a little strange while praising it. One day, Ichijō moved to a new station, which happened to be adjacent to Noji, and The head of Huaye, Chen Yi, personally came to Yizhong as a guest to find out.
At the headquarters of the First Column, Ye Fei reported to Commander Chen on his recent work. Marshal Chen Yi said humorously in that thick Sichuan accent: "Good you Ye Fei, there are good babies who don't tell me, are you afraid of being beaten by my guerrilla fighting?" Tell me, you have always been able to predict the actions of the national army recently, one step ahead of the enemy, what secret weapons are hidden. ”
In Hua Ye, the person Ye Fei was most afraid of was really Boss Chen. After the battle of Subei, the cadres of the First Column Command captured a golden Paike pen and gave it to Commander Ye Fei while cleaning up the battlefield. Ye Fei was inserted in the pocket of his jacket, very handsome.
But a few days later, Ye Fei went to Huaye Headquarters to report on his work, and Mr. Chen asked Ye Fei to borrow a pen to sign, whether he had borrowed or not, and Jin Pike was thus beaten by Mr. Chen.
Ye Fei smiled and replied, "Who doesn't know that you Chen Lao is always a guerrilla king, nothing can deceive you, go, since you came, stay a little longer, play a poker you will know." ”
On the table, Chen Yi, Ye Fei, and He Kexi were missing one, and Commander Ye asked the guards to find Qin Ji. As soon as Mr. Chen saw Qin Ji, he wondered, "Where did the baby come from, could this be your Ye Fei's secret weapon?" ”
Mr. Chen asked Qin Ji's name again. Qin Ji replied, "My name is Qin Ji, Qin of Qin Shi Huang, and Ji of Gorky." When Mr. Chen heard this, he laughed and said, "Amazing, it's Qin Shi Huang again, and it's Gorky again." ”
Ye Fei said next to him: "He is the most famous technical investigation expert of our column, my clairvoyant and downwind ear, without him, I am afraid that you Will not only fight me guerrilla, but also remove me from my post." ”
Mr. Chen nodded, "This little baby doesn't seem simple, you Ye Fei haven't praised a few people in front of me." ”
Qin Ji also said, "I came to Yancheng with you from the Northern Jiangsu Command, I am a cadet of the Eleventh Unit of the First Phase of the New Fourth Army, you are our principal, I have heard many of your reports and lectures in Yancheng, and I am still your student." ”
Late Qin Ji
Mr. Chen was even happier: "If we want to get it, we still have the friendship between teachers and students." Come and go, sit down, we teachers and students join forces against the commander and deputy commander of the column, today a decisive victory, you are responsible for scoring. ”
Originally, Qin Ji had joined forces with Commander Ye every time, but this time he suddenly changed people and felt uncomfortable, so he looked at Commander Ye, who signaled him to sit down.
Elder Chen sensed this and pretended not to be happy: "How to play cards depends on the eyes of your commanders, today my principal is here, and your students have to listen to me." "Say it and skillfully shuffle the cards."
When commanders Ye and He "called" to communicate the news at a critical juncture, Mr. Chen said: "Today you should be careful when you talk about wireless telephones, I have detection experts here, and you have leaked secrets and you have suffered losses yourself!" ”
When he got the points of Commander Ye and Commander He, General Chen teased while extending his finger to scrape Commander Ye's nose, and Commander Ye had to dodge sideways.
