Chapter 350: Swearing

When He Yingqin received an order from the division headquarters to ask the Second Regiment to organize a special operation team to secretly go to Lechang County to capture Xiao Yaonan, his expression was shocked for a while. Then he quickly returned to seriousness and accepted the task solemnly. After putting down the microphone, he looked at Wu Shaoting standing beside him, and his expression became complicated again. Of course, Wu Shaoting personally instructed this order, but he didn't understand how to complete the operation.

Wu Shaoting walked slowly to He Yingqin with his hands in his arms, and asked lukewarmly: "He Jingzhi, do you think this is a suicide mission?"

He Yingqin quickly shook his head and said seriously: "No. I just feel humble. I'm confused. Now there are Beiyang troops everywhere on the outskirts of Shaoguan. It's difficult to sneak out secretly. How can I reach Lechang quietly and then catch Xiao Yaonan silently?"

Wu Shaoting said without comment: "It is actually not difficult to go out, it is not difficult to capture Xiao Yaonan alive. The difficulty lies in coming back."

He Yingqin was stunned and asked in confusion: "Governor, what should I say?"

Wu Shaoting was not in a hurry. He said, "Since I am teaching the Second Regiment now, I will stay on the North Line in the next few days. This special operation will be planned by me personally. Don't ask more questions now, and first draw a list of participating in the operation. There are many students from the Whampoa Military Academy from the north. Although the composition of the Southern Expedition Army is mainly composed of Hunan Army, it is also mixed with many officers and soldiers from other provinces. The list is for dozens of people, as long as it is not from the southerners."

He Yingqin pondered for a while, then couldn't help asking: "Governor, Xiao Yaonan seems to be from Zhejiang, he himself is from the south."

Wu Shaoting smiled and said, "This time I am catching Xiao Yaonan, not lying Xiao Yaonan. Let's do this, just don't have a Cantonese accent."

He Yingqin nodded and immediately said, "I understand, I will make arrangements for you now."

With only half an hour, He Yingqin decisively drafted a list.

Wu Shaoting discussed the operation with He Yingqin in a separate surveying and mapping room in the regiment headquarters' bunker, and Deng Keng and Sun Jizhi were also accompanying him to refer to it. He told He Yingqin that it was because the Beiyang Army was constantly adjusting its troops around Shaoguan and gathering away dispersed troops, and this was a great opportunity to get into the enemy's internal situation.

He still remembered that Sun Jizhi once reported that the Seventh Regiment pulled out more than 1,500 enemy soldiers captured in Lechang, and was frozen and hungry, causing these 1,500 people to lose their combat effectiveness. During the Lechang counterattack, the Guangdong Army once forced the surrender of ten battalions of southern expedition troops. The number of these ten battalions was different, and the number of troops was extremely mixed. The deserters, the number of severed soldiers and the number of people killed in the battle was uncertain. It was possible to take advantage of this opportunity to put on the enemy's uniform and stick out of Shaoguan and go to Lechang.

After hearing Wu Shaoting's words, Sun Jizhi immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "The Governor is right. When I came out of Lechang County, I took all the more than a thousand military uniforms. I originally planned to hand them over to the logistics department to make military blankets or add winter clothes, but now it's just right."

He Yingqin sighed: "Yes, the enemies on both wings of our northern line are mobilized every day. Sometimes there are many scouts in the rear, and we can't guess which troops it is. Especially on the west side is the Nanxing Army and the Jiangxi Army to the east, they are not familiar with each other. The special operation team changed into the enemy's uniform and rode on horseback. When asked about the Jiangxi Army, we said we were from the Nanxing Army. When asked about the secret code, we said we were from the Jiangxi Army. Who can find out?"

Wu Shaoting nodded and said, "It's easy to get out, it's easy to get close to Xiao Yaonan. The method is similar to what He Jingzhi said. When he arrived in Lechang, he saw the opportunity and said that he was an officer sent by the Jiangxi Army to contact him. If there is emergency information, he asked Xiao Yaonan to report. The real difficulty starts here. The operation team only has one chance, so he has to try his best to bring people out."

Sun Jizhi sighed and said worriedly: "Yes, as the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and it is difficult to go down the mountain. It is really difficult to come back from Lechang County with a living person."

He Yingqin couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he had to stop talking and buried his head and thought hard.

After a while of silence, Wu Shaoting took a breath and said, "Actually, any plan is just a hypothesis. There is no way to make a conclusion that is almost certain. The key is to see who is performing the task being able to adapt to the situation."

Sun Jizhi nodded and said in agreement: "This is an important word from the Governor. Indeed, it is not as good as adaptable as those who are adaptable. There are too many young people in the Second Teaching Group. If you change to the First Teaching Group, it might be better."

He Yingqin felt a little unhappy after hearing this. Although he was transferred from the first group of teaching groups to the second group of teaching groups, the nature of the teaching groups is the same. Most Huangpu graduates will be assigned to the teaching groups first to train and accumulate, and they are born from the same roots. Now some people compare the two groups, so they naturally have the prejudice of favoring one and over the other, which is a very repulsive remark.

But after all, Sun Jizhi is the chief and a senior figure, so he is not convenient for him to say anything, but his face has changed slightly.

Wu Shaoting looked at He Yingqin and learned some information from the other party's face. He said thoughtfully: "He Jingzhi, if I ask you to lead the team to carry out this mission in person, would you like?"

He Yingqin suddenly became energetic, but soon had some doubts and asked: "But the Governor, the commander of the Second Teaching Regiment is short of. If the Huye left, who will command the Second Teaching Regiment?"

Wu Shaoting smiled slightly and said, "I personally directed."

After hearing this, everyone immediately turned their surprised eyes on Wu Shaoting. In their opinion, if Governor Wu personally directed and taught the Second Regiment, it would mean that he would stick to his post on the front line. This was not only an extremely dangerous thing, but more importantly, the Governor commanded the regiment headquarters. Who should he obey after the division headquarters’ orders are issued? This would cause conflict and inconsistency in the entire command level, which is not a good thing.

"Governor, this is not possible." Sun Jizhi said immediately.

"Yes, if you command the Second Regiment, what should you do with the division headquarters? The governor should command the division headquarters." He Yingqin also said repeatedly.

"Don't worry, I have my own qualities," Wu Shaoting said seriously. "I will not let the orders of the Second Teaching Regiment and the Division Headquarters conflict. Although my age is almost the same as yours, I will lead more troops than you add up."

He Yingqin thought about it and had to say, "The governor's orders must be implemented to the end. Please rest assured that the governor will take his life this time."

Wu Shaoting took out a serious tone and warned: "This action is a taboo to take your life. Sending you on a mission is not to let you die. How many of you can only come back more, and you must never come back. Do you understand?"

He Yingqin responded solemnly: "I understand the humble position."

Wu Shaoting nodded, and then said, "When you come back smoothly, I will leave it to you for your help. You are under a lot of pressure to carry this mission, but you must also remember that success or not depends on whether our army can turn the situation around on the battlefield of Shaoguan. Please."

He Yingqin was very excited. Governor Wu's words were clearly to promote himself to the leader of the Second Teaching Regiment. He was a positive person. Although this mission was very dangerous and could even be described as a life-long death, he would rather think about the prospects full of hope.
