King of Secret Service

General Zhang has a mediocre nature and doesn't like to receive gifts, especially gold and antiques. He has high demands on the students. It's okay to come to see him, but he is not allowed to buy gifts that exceed two yuan.

Therefore, Liang Xiao spent two oceans, bought a bunch of fruits and desserts, and came to visit his benefactor.

The old butler of Zhang's mansion knew him, and smiled when they met him: "Xiao Liangzi is here, the general was still talking about you in the morning, saying that your wings are hard now, and you won't come to Nanjing anymore."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "The old housekeeper was joking, Fei Yu came to Nanjing for business, and just after the business was over, he came to see his teacher non-stop."

"Hurry up and go to the study, seven or eight of your classmates and friends are here, and they are discussing military affairs with the general." The old butler laughed.

"Oh, since it is to discuss the military situation, I will not go in and wait outside. When the teacher is free, it will not be too late for me to go in again." Liang Xiao rejected the old housekeeper's proposal, he knew himself, and now he is the military commander The identity of the Ranger Captain, and the military command is an existence that people in the army hate. He doesn't want to see the contemptuous eyes of his former colleagues.

At this time, a young officer came out, his eyes fell on Liang Xiao, he laughed and said: "It really is you, Brother Feiyu."

"Ziheng." Liang Xiao greeted with a smile. This young officer was called Lu Ziheng, who was in the same period as him, and also a student of the teacher.

Lu Ziheng was carrying the rank of major, and his gaze stayed on Liang Xiao. Seeing him wearing a tunic suit, he said with a smile, "I heard that brother Fei Yu is now serving in the military command. It's really a pity."

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xin, the beautiful woman behind Liang Xiao, thinking what a beautiful woman, with the rank of captain on her shoulder.

"Ziheng was joking, he is loyal to the country, there is nothing to regret." Liang Xiao said lightly. .

Chapter 41 Formation of Special Warfare

Military generals generally have misunderstandings and deviations about the special affairs, and believe that those who engage in special affairs are playing tricks and other shady business.

Lu Ziheng smiled slightly and said, "Fei Yu, the teacher is inside, as are all your colleagues, let's all sit down and listen to the teacher's opinion on the current situation."

"No, if I go in, I'm afraid all my colleagues won't listen to the teacher's opinion on the current situation." Liang Xiao laughed at himself.

Lu Ziheng smiled awkwardly: "Isn't it? Now you are an agent of the Military Control Bureau, responsible for monitoring every word and deed of our officers. If any colleague says something that shouldn't be said, I think your Military Intelligence Department will treat him to tea tomorrow." went."

"Ziheng don't need to be sarcasm, I'm meeting the teacher today during the student worship, I can't hear what my colleagues say." Liang Xiao said.

Lu Ziheng nodded, showing a slight change in Liang Xiao's image.

"Since you don't want to meet your colleagues, go to the side hall and wait for a while. I will tell the teacher when the teacher finishes speaking." Lu Ziheng said.

"Thank you." Liang Xiao nodded to him, and led Zhao Xin into the side hall to wait.

About half an hour later.

A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general walked in. He looked elegant and gave people the feeling of a Confucian scholar.

"Hello, teacher." Liang Xiao immediately stood up and saluted.

General Zhang waved his hand: "You are not wearing a military uniform, so you don't need so many formalities, just sit down and talk."

He saw Zhao Xin behind Liang Xiao, and thought to himself that as a student, he was doing well in the military command, and he had such a beautiful female captain by his side.

"Students come to visit today, one is to visit the teacher, and the other is to ask the teacher to do the students a favor." Liang Xiao knew that General Zhang was a straightforward person, and he was not polite, so he went straight to the point.

General Zhang looked at him for a moment, before speaking, he said: "The teacher can't help you with things that violate the rules and laws, but if it's a serious matter, I will try my best to help you."

What Liang Xiao wanted was his words, and said: "The principal ordered the students to form a special warfare battalion. All the soldiers were selected from the Nanjing garrison and the garrison. The students' qualifications are shallow. I specially ask the teacher to help the students."

General Zhang said in surprise: "You said that the committee asked you to form a special warfare battalion?"

"Yes." Seeing General Zhang's surprise, Liang Xiao explained, "Students are studying special operations in dé country. The principal listened to the students' definition of special operations and ordered the students to form a special operations battalion."

General Zhang re-examined him as a student. He was very indignant when Liang Xiao was sent to the military command by Dai Li. He thought that the dark place of the military command would ruin Liang Xiao's future. Now it seems that Dai Yunong is still quite promising. In a short time, Liang Xiao was appreciated by the commissioner and entrusted with a heavy responsibility. This is a rare honor for students of Whampoa Military Academy.

"How do you want me to help you?" General Zhang asked.

Liang Xiao said bluntly: "Teacher, please accompany the students for a walk. Only with the great Buddha of Teacher can we restrain these arrogant soldiers."

General Zhang scolded with a smile: "Well, you Liang Feiyu, your idea is on my head."

"Students don't dare." Liang Xiao replied with a smile.

General Zhang said: "If you want me to help you, you must first tell me what is special operations?"

Liang Xiao had no choice but to explain the meaning of special operations and special forces to General Zhang. He also formulated a set of unique training methods for special forces, as well as the missions and campaign objectives of special forces according to China's national conditions.

Liang Xiao had no choice but to explain the meaning of special operations and special forces to General Zhang. He also formulated a set of unique training methods for special forces, as well as the missions and campaign objectives of special forces according to China's national conditions.

After listening, General Zhang questioned: "According to what you said, the equipment and supplies of a special warfare battalion are equivalent to the equipment of a division of the Central Army, but can this special warfare battalion exert the combat effectiveness of a main division?"

"Special operations are not regular operations. They are looking for fighters in motion. At critical moments, they cut off the enemy's supply lines and destroy the enemy's headquarters, and win the battlefield from the side." Liang Xiao explained.

General Zhang asked again: "The special operations you mentioned, in the final analysis, rely on the frontal attack of large troops. What if the special forces face a main division of the enemy alone?"

"Break it into parts, disperse the encirclement, and wait for opportunities to find fighters during the encirclement. Mainly destroy the enemy's headquarters and assassinate the enemy's officers, paralyzing the enemy's command center, and then defeat them one by one." Liang Xiao replied.

General Zhang frowned slightly after hearing this, he didn't quite accept Liang Xiao's special forces combat values.

But Liang Xiao is still his student no matter what. Even if he joins the military command, he is also a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy. It’s very special, it’s not for non-Baoding department, non-commissioned officers not studying in Japan, non-Whampoa department, or Zhejiang people.

"Did the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs issue you the documents for forming a special warfare battalion?" General Zhang asked.

"It's already down, it's a reinforcement battalion." Liang Xiao said.

"That's good, how about it, I'll take you to the divisions of the First Army to select soldiers. The First Army is a direct-line army in the direct line. The soldiers have strong discipline and outstanding combat effectiveness. Moreover, the first division of the First Army is still yours." Old troops, you can rest assured of the soldiers selected from the old troops." General Zhang said.

"What the teacher said is very true." Liang Xiao couldn't help but admire General Zhang's strategy. He proposed that there was a reason for him to choose soldiers from the First Army to form a special warfare battalion. He is a confidant of the commissioner, if his special warfare battalion is full of soldiers from the First Army, not only will the commissioner be assured of him, but other people will also look up to the special warfare battalion.

General Zhang is a man of action, and he does what he says, so he immediately called Commander Li of the First Army and told Liang Xiao that he was ordered by the commissioner to select soldiers, and Commander Li over there hurriedly agreed.

After hanging up the phone, General Zhang led Liang Xiao out of the mansion and headed towards Qixia Mountain where the First Army is stationed.

The First Army, the garrison of the First Division.

The division commander came out to meet General Zhang and his party in person. Knowing that General Zhang was here to select soldiers, he hurriedly assembled the three main brigades under his command.

The first division is a full division, with three brigades and one regiment, and the whole division has a total of more than [-] people.

Liang Xiao's method of selecting people is very general, as long as they have a good skill, they can participate in the selection, as long as they can make him fancy, they will pass the test.

The so-called skills include shooting, fighting, knife skills, battle command, blasting, chemistry and so on.

There were more than 1 people in the first division, and more than 1000 people applied for shooting and fighting alone. After three rounds of screening, he only liked 80 people, and the rest were all eliminated.

There were more than 300 people applying for the knife method, but he only left 18 people.

More than 500 people applied for campaign command, blasting, and chemistry, but he only left 24 people.

He selected a total of more than 120 officers and soldiers in the first division, and the highest rank was Qi Ming, the major staff officer of the division.

In addition, he specially selected three officers, Sun Bing, captain and company commander of the third company, first battalion and third company of the third regiment of the first division, Cao Xian, the lieutenant and deputy company commander, and Zhou Shiji, the leader of the third platoon.

These three were all his old subordinates when he was in the First Division, and they absolutely obeyed his orders. .

Chapter 42 Returning to Shanghai

The next day.

General Zhang led Liang Xiao to the divisions of the First Army to select elite soldiers through subjects.

A total of 260 elite soldiers were selected this time, including snipers, sharpshooters, artillery, mountain combat soldiers and so on.

The special warfare battalion is a strengthened battalion with a full staff of 500 people.

And he selected a total of 380 people in the first army, and there are still 120 people short.

The remaining 120 people were selected from the Nanjing garrison and garrison troops. General Zhang opened the way for him, and the process of selecting soldiers was extremely smooth.

Next is the issue of equipment. There is a letter of appointment, and the equipment department will give the green light to the newly formed special warfare battalion. As long as it is reported by Liang Xiao, it will be approved.

The armaments are as follows: [-] Mauser semi-automatic rifles made in Dé, [-] light machine guns made in Dé, [-] heavy machine guns made in Dé, [-] pistols with countless bullets, [-] military stabs, and [-] mortars , three thousand rounds of shells, and some military equipment.

Of course, the medical equipment and communication equipment are also the most advanced in the national army, and ten telegraph personnel were selected from the Nanjing garrison.

As for the medical personnel, there is a temporary vacancy, because Western medicine in this era is the quintessence of Chinese medicine, and only division-level troops will be equipped with medical teams, and battalion-level troops will be equipped with medical soldiers.

After the special warfare battalion was refitted, it was inspected by the Military Commission at Sun Yat-sen University in Nanjing.

The military committee sent a lieutenant general, who briefly inspected the special warfare battalion, read out the appointment warrant, and appointed Liang Xiao as the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the special warfare battalion.

Sun Bing was appointed as the commander of the special company.

Appoint Qi Ming as the commander of the second special company.

Appoint Cao Xian as the commander of the third special warfare company.

Zhou Shiji was appointed as the captain's staff of the special warfare battalion.

The appointment of other officers is at the sole discretion of the Special Operations Battalion.

The special warfare battalion is located ten kilometers north of the Huangpu River in Shanghai.

According to the order of the Military Commission, the Special Operations Battalion will go to the Huangpu River in Shanghai for training today.

A total of twenty large trucks, full of soldiers, drove towards Shanghai.

Liang Xiao was worried about the intelligence forces in Shanghai, and wished he could rush back to Shanghai immediately. His subordinates, Jiang Tao and others, had already rushed back to Shanghai the afternoon before yesterday.

When he returned to Shanghai this time, he went with the Special War Battalion.

Firstly, he wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the past with several old subordinates, and secondly, he told several old subordinates about his first-stage training plan, so that they could train the troops according to the plan they had formulated.

Firstly, he wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the past with several old subordinates, and secondly, he told several old subordinates about his first-stage training plan, so that they could train the troops according to the plan they had formulated.

There are three company commanders in the special warfare battalion, two of them are his former subordinates. Qi Ming, the commander of the second company, has the ability to command.

Of course, there was a reason why he recommended Qi Ming as the commander of the second company. Qi Ming was not from Whampoa, nor was he a non-commissioned officer studying in Japan. In a fit of anger, he left the Northeast Army and joined the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. In the direct line of the Central Committee, he was excluded to the edge, and he had nowhere to display his commanding skills.

Liang Xiao temporarily handed over the troops to Sun Bing, who was his old subordinate and never compromised his orders, so he was relieved.

Moreover, the base of the special warfare battalion is not far from Shanghai, only a few ten minutes away, and he can check the training results of the special warfare battalion at any time.

He led the special warfare battalion to a small place called Dahe Village ten kilometers away from the Huangpu River. This was once the camp of a certain main division during the Northern Expedition. Although it was a bit dilapidated, there was at least a shelter from the wind and rain.

Liang Xiao briefly inspected the nearby terrain, called Sun Bing, Qiming Cao Xian and others, and told them to manage the special warfare battalion well, especially the training, they must pay close attention to it. In the first stage, start with physical fitness, and go off-roading ten kilometers every morning, and then [-] push-ups and [-] sit-ups each. Shooting practice at noon and fighting practice in the afternoon.

Another thing is the food issue of the special warfare battalion. When starting from Nanjing, the Military Commission directly allocated 500 yuan to the special warfare battalion, which included the three-month food and drink expenses for [-] people. That is to say, Food for the special warfare battalion had to be bought in Shanghai. Fortunately, the Military Commission allocated ten large trucks to the special warfare battalion, so there was no need to worry that the food would not be brought back.

He left the matter of food to the battalion staff officer Zhou Shiji, and asked him to go to Shanghai every three days to buy fresh vegetables and meat, so that the soldiers could eat and drink well, so that they would have the strength to complete the high-intensity physical training.

In the evening, Shanghai.

A muddy black car was parked at the door of a Western-style villa, and a man and a woman stepped out of the car.

Liang Xiao said: "Secretary Zhao, are you going to live at home or with me?"

Zhao Xinjiao blushed, and said coquettishly: "Of course they are going home."

After getting along these few days, Liang Xiao and Zhao Xin gradually became acquainted. They ate at the same table and slept in the same room. , even if he and Zhao Xin sleep together, he still sleeps dutifully. thing.

"Ma Kuilu, take Secretary Zhao back, be careful on the way." Liang Xiao said.

"Goodbye, sir." Zhao Xin got into the car with a smile, and the car roared away.

Liang Xiao watched the car go far away before entering the villa. He entered the door with his front foot, and Xu Tianyin chased him in with his back foot.

He ran in panting, and said: "The captain is not good, Jiang Tao has been detained by Gu Jianming."

Liang Xiaojian frowned, and asked, "Why did Gu Jianming detain Jiang Tao?"

Xu Tianyin replied: "I heard from the brothers in the second group that Jiang Tao had an affair with Mrs. Gu's wife and was arrested by Mr. Gu on the spot."

Liang Xiao thought about it carefully. Jiang Tao once said that he had such a relationship with Gu Jianming's wife. Moreover, he told Jiang Tao not to allow him to have anything to do with Gu Jianming's wife. At that time, he promised well, but in the end , I still couldn't control my crotch thing.

"Where is Jiang Tao imprisoned by Gu Jianming?" Liang Xiao guessed in his heart that after Gu Jianming caught Jiang Tao, he would make a fuss about it.

"After I received the news, I sent my subordinates to inquire, but you also know that Gu Jianming has been operating in Shanghai for many years, and it is easy for him to hide someone, but we have limited manpower and are not familiar with the place, so we want to find out The place where Jiang Tao was imprisoned was really difficult." Xu Tianyin sighed. .

Chapter 43 Playing with fire and setting yourself on fire

In this era, the chastity of women is very important, especially for a person with a head and a face like Gu Jianming. His wife let someone else do it, and her hair is green. If she doesn't do something, how can she lose face.

Jiang Tao also deserved what he deserved. It's not good to play with anyone, but he has to play with Gu Jianming's woman. Isn't this just asking for guilt?

Liang Xiao thought for a while, then said: "Help me make an appointment with Gu Jianming, and say that I will treat him to dinner, and the place will be at the New World Restaurant, please be sure to honor him."

"Humble job, call Gu Jianming now." Xu Tianyin went to do it immediately.

"Forget it, back up the generous gift, I will pay a visit in person." Liang Xiao thought for a while, and then paid a personal visit to Gu Jianming to see what he meant.
