From the 7th Steel Company to the Synthetic Division

The high command of the Blue Army's 909th Brigade was in a state of unease, while the three "female protagonists" they were worried about were enjoying a pleasant leisure time in the park's woods.

Having brought some food and mats, they spread out the mats on the grass in the park's woods, placed the food and water they had brought on them, and enjoyed the leisurely atmosphere of the park, chatting with the brigade commander's wife about parenting.

On a bench not far from the three of them, the driver, Xiao Li, sat there dutifully watching over them.

Neither the driver, Xiao Li, nor the three women noticed that their phones had absolutely no signal.

They also failed to notice that two men were sitting on a chair a few dozen meters away, reading newspapers.

Next to them were two large bags emitting a faint beeping electronic sound that continuously interfered with the surrounding environment, causing all mobile phones to lose signal.

The two people who personally operated the jamming equipment were Cheng Cai and Xu Sanduo, who were experts in disguise.

The two of them were responsible for using strong electromagnetic interference to prevent Xiao Gu and the other two, who were playing in the park, from receiving the phone call, thus buying time for Deputy Political Commissar Ma Tianxiang.

Deputy Political Commissar Ma Tianxiang and Wu Liuyi were together, leading a very professional technical team.

The technical team's main task was to continuously conduct psychological warfare against the Blue Team's high command by disguising and modifying the information in the dialed calls.

They are completely absorbed, leaving them with no energy or time to pay attention to anything else.

To cover Chen Jun's "unleash his ultimate move"!
Now the wives of the brigade commander, political commissar, and artillery regiment commander have all been completely isolated from the signal, and harassing text messages have been sent. It's time for the technical team to step in.

……

909 Brigade Team.

Brigade Commander Chu Zhangang led the way in a car alone, with the political commissar and chief of staff following behind in their cars.

Political Commissar Xu Xiaocun was restless the whole way, constantly looking at his phone, hoping to receive a call from his wife or the brigade commander's wife.

As a result, the car drove on the road for about ten minutes, but the phone remained completely silent.

suddenly.

Xu Xiaocun's phone finally rang. In his eagerness, he didn't even have time to look at the number before answering and immediately asking, "Hello, is this Xiao Gu?"

Before boarding the train, Xu Xiaocun sent a text message, instructing the brigade commander's wife to call him immediately upon seeing the message.

Therefore, he assumed it was Xiao Gu who called.

But his excited face quickly fell, and he said in astonishment, "What? You're from the Chenghai City Public Security Bureau? The Criminal Investigation Brigade of the East Suburbs Branch?"

"Yes, that's right. I need to verify again. Are you the owner of the phone, Xu Xiaocun?" the person on the other end of the phone asked.

"Yes, I am Xu Xiaocun."

After Xu Xiaocun confirmed the call, the police officer on the other end of the phone suddenly said seriously, "We just received a call reporting that human traffickers have abducted three women in the park."

The person who called the police was a young soldier; he's the one who asked us to contact you.

After comparing information with our police information, we have confirmed that one of them is your wife Huang Ting, and the other two are Li Haiyun and Gu Xiaoyuan.

We have launched a city-wide surveillance search and will definitely find the human traffickers as soon as possible.

However, because this is a special case, and one of the victims is pregnant, they may experience emotional distress after being rescued. We hope the pregnant woman's husband can come over.

The police officer on the other end of the phone spoke very formally, and Xu Xiaocun was completely thrown off balance as if struck by lightning.

He pressed anxiously, "Are you sure you were abducted by human traffickers? Do you have any news about them? Was anyone injured? Is there anything else I can do?"

"If all the relatives can come back and cooperate with the police, providing us with the necessary information, that would be even better, and we could find the person more quickly," the police officer said earnestly.

"Comrade, we are very far from Chenghai City, more than a thousand kilometers away. You must find a way!" Xu Xiaocun said urgently.

"Our police will do their best to investigate, but without relatives coming over, the chances of success will be much lower, and there's nothing we can do about it," the police officer on the other end said helplessly.

"This this……"

Xu Xiaocun was completely flustered and at a loss, unable to make any decisions about the matter. He could only say, "Please, police, stall for time. I'll go and discuss this with others and give you a reply as soon as possible."

After saying that, Xu Xiaocun hung up the phone and urged the driver in front, "Speed ​​up, hurry, catch up with the brigade commander."

"Yes!"

The driver floored the accelerator.

Just as Xu Xiaocun was chasing after them, the chief of staff sitting next to him received a call from Regiment Commander Zhu of the artillery regiment, who said that he had just received a call from the Chenghai City police, who said that his wife had been abducted by human traffickers.

Commander Zhu was so frightened that he forgot about organizing the river crossing and came specifically to inquire about the truth of the matter. If the regiment did not know, he wanted to go back immediately to find out.

In order not to delay the next attack and to forcefully suppress Commander Zhu and put his mind at ease, Xu Xiaocun...

He could only promise that he would personally return to Chenghai City.

Upon hearing that the Political Committee had personally gone back, Commander Zhu changed his mind and had Xu Xiaocun tell him the situation, no longer insisting on going back in person.

Xu Xiaocun heard that the police had called, and that the person who reported the incident was driver Xiao Li.

He had no more doubts.

After a few minutes of catching up with Chu Zhangang ahead, he parked his car on the side of the road, got out, and said hurriedly, "Old Chu, this isn't psychological warfare, it's real."

The police just called and told me that three people have been abducted. It was the driver, Xiao Li, who reported it, and they still haven't found them.

"Commander Zhu knows too?" Chu Zhangang's expression was serious, more serious than ever before.

“Yes, the police have also called Commander Zhu. The morale of the artillery regiment has been affected. If this is not handled properly, it will definitely affect the offensive operation,” Xu Xiaocun said worriedly.

"How could something like this happen at such a crucial moment?"

Chu Zhangang was extremely distressed and furious. The thought of his pregnant wife being abducted by human traffickers and his wife and children being in danger made it impossible for him to remain calm.

"Old Chu, how about this? I'll go back for a bit. If all else fails, I can mobilize the First Battalion to cooperate with the police and find Xiao Gu and the other two as soon as possible," Xu Xiaocun suggested.

"Row."

Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Zhangang immediately agreed and instructed, "Don't let anyone else know yet. Go to the family compound first and ask about the situation."

If everything is alright, come back quickly and act as if nothing happened.

If something really happens, please cooperate fully with the police. The 1st Motorized Infantry Battalion stationed there can be deployed. I believe the police will handle this matter well.

"Okay, then I'll leave now." Xu Xiaocun had already lost his composure and was about to turn around and leave before he could even finish speaking.

But Chu Zhangang grabbed his sleeve, his expression extremely complicated as he guessed, "Old Xu, is this really not Chen Jun's doing?"

"No way, this is a military exercise. The Chenghai police won't cooperate with them," Xu Xiaocun said confidently.

"I'm not afraid of the Red Army playing tricks, I'm worried that we'll make the same mistakes again." Chu Zhangang was still a little hesitant, but his wife's comfort made him nervous.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll know once we go back. It's only a two or three-hour flight."

After finishing his sentence, Xu Xiaocun stopped dawdling and rushed to his car, shouting to the driver, "Xiao Wang, take me to the airport immediately."

Chu Zhangang did not continue to stop it, and his expression became increasingly serious as he watched the car leave.

This was his second marriage to Gu Xiaoyuan, who was fifteen years younger than him. He cherished his wife dearly, treating her like a precious gem.

Now that his beloved wife has encountered such a thing, how can he remain calm?

The reason why Chu Zhangang kept suspecting that the Red Army was behind the scheme was actually more out of wishful thinking, hoping that it was just a psychological tactic.

Chu Zhangang simply couldn't accept that his young and beautiful wife would be taken away.

But another voice in Chu Zhangang's heart told him that it was not impossible for such a thing to happen. These days, human traffickers are very bold, and they will forcibly snatch people, stuff them into a van, and drive away.

It was precisely because of this inner fear that Chu Zhan was unable to remain calm and could only hope that Xu Xiaocun could bring him "good news".

The chief of staff's wife had returned to her hometown and was not currently at the brigade headquarters, so she was not affected by this incident.

Seeing that Chu Zhangang was completely out of sorts and unable to organize the overall situation, he worried that the same thing would happen to the artillery regiment.

He drove for an hour or so to personally visit the artillery regiment and find Commander Zhu.

"The brigade commander and political commissar called me here to convey the opinions of the brigade party committee to you."

Upon meeting Commander Zhu, the Chief of Staff immediately said, "I fully acknowledge the fighting spirit of your right flank troops during their advance."

We commend and admire your composure and selflessness in the face of the unexpected incident in the rear.

Please trust that the political commissar will handle this matter properly after returning to Chenghai, and will give you a clear answer regardless of whether it is true or false.

The chief of staff spoke very logically, and Commander Zhu's emotions did indeed stabilize considerably.

"Chief of Staff, I've always suspected that this might be another trap set by the Red Army? Some kind of psychological warfare?" Commander Zhu speculated.

“I think it’s definitely psychological warfare. If we hadn’t stopped crossing the river because of this, our battalion would have crossed by now,” said the battalion commander next to him.

"I understand how you all feel. Seeing your spirits puts me at ease. We'll soon have the answer as to whether this is psychological warfare or not."

After Chief of Staff Ding finished speaking, he decisively ordered, "We have less than two days left. Without further ado, the Third Battalion will cross the river immediately."

……

Three hours later.

Xu Xiaocun, who rushed back by plane, followed Chu Zhangang's instructions before leaving and chose to return quietly without alerting anyone.

They did not notify the police in advance, nor did they call anyone beforehand.

This made his whereabouts impossible to trace, and even though the Red Army had been continuously monitoring Xu Xiaocun's mobile phone, they had no idea that he had run back at this moment.

Xu Xiaocun was able to return to the camp smoothly, and ran into the battalion commander of the first battalion right at the gate.

However, as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the camp, he was immediately spotted by Red Army soldiers in civilian clothes who were guarding nearby, and they reported the situation to Ma Tianxiang.

"Chief of Staff Chen is truly a prophet; he really did manage to catch the big fish."

Upon hearing the news, Ma Tianxiang immediately perked up and arranged for Wu Liuyi to carry out the next phase of the plan and bring this big fish back.

Xu Xiaocun was unaware that he had been targeted by the Red Army and was about to follow in the footsteps of He Yazhou, the political commissar of the 708th Army.

Upon encountering a battalion commander at the gate, he immediately asked, "Battalion Commander Lei, have any major incidents occurred in the camp recently? Have any police officers come over?"

"Everything is normal in the camp so far, nothing major has happened. As for the police, what are they doing here?" Battalion Commander Lei was completely confused.

"A case of women trafficking has occurred in the city, and the whole city is conducting a search. Didn't you know?" Xu Xiaocun asked coldly.

"No way, what kind of human trafficking case is this? I haven't heard anyone mention it. I even watched the midday news, and I didn't hear anything about it." Battalion Commander Lei was even more confused.

"See for yourself."

Xu Xiaocun handed over the phone and said, "This is a text message from my wife Huang Ting. She, along with Regiment Commander Zhu's wife Li Haiyun and Brigade Commander's wife Gu Xiaoyuan, were all taken away by human traffickers. How could you not know?"

The Chenghai City police even called me; the person who reported it was the driver, Xiao Li.

Xu Xiaocun's explanation sounded very plausible, but Battalion Commander Lei, after reading the text message, immediately denied it, saying, "How could that be? Someone must be joking with you. Just an hour ago, I was on the phone with Xiao Li."

He specifically told me that you, the brigade commander, and Commander Zhu's wife were going shopping together that afternoon to buy things for the brigade commander's wife's child.

You're telling me they were kidnapped hours ago? That's impossible.

"Is this another psychological warfare tactic?"

Battalion Commander Lei's explanation was so clear and straightforward, and he had even spoken to the driver, Xiao Li, an hour earlier, which made Xu Xiaocun begin to have doubts.

"Psychological warfare? What psychological warfare?" Battalion Commander Lei felt completely bewildered.

"Are you absolutely sure that this didn't happen?" Xu Xiaocun asked again to confirm.

"Absolutely not."

Battalion Commander Lei said confidently, "If you don't believe me, Political Commissar, I can call Director Wang of the District Committee. If there are really police investigating, he will definitely know."

As he spoke, Battalion Commander Lei took out his phone, made a call, and said after the call was connected, "Director Wang, this is Battalion Commander Lei. Political Commissar Xu from our brigade has returned from the front lines. He has something he wants to verify with you."

After saying that, he handed the phone to Xu Xiaocun and said, "Director Wang is in charge of this area. You can ask him."

"Hello, Director Wang? This is Xu Xiaocun. I have something I'd like to ask you about."

After Xu Xiaocun answered the phone and introduced himself, he told Director Wang a general account of everything that had happened during the march.

Since he's the person in charge of this area, there's no need for him to hide anything. (End of Chapter)
