When they arrived at the courtyard house and the celestial bridal chamber, they discovered it was a

However, the anti-bandit troops did not retreat; instead, they fought even harder.

Spurred by their victory in the Tieyuan sniper battle, they wanted to finish the bandit suppression work as soon as possible and then go to the island battlefield to fight the United States.

A young soldier said to his platoon leader, "Even if we lose, we must wipe out these bandits as soon as possible, and then go to the island battlefield to make contributions for the country and the people."

The platoon leader directly scolded the soldiers, saying, "Stop thinking about things that don't want to happen. Get back to training quickly, or you might get shot by bandits."

Then the platoon leader walked up to the company commander and whispered, "Company commander, when can we go to the island to fight the Japanese devils?"

The company commander was furious and said, "Get back to training! Only if we succeed in suppressing the bandits will we have a chance."

As a result, the bandit suppression operation accelerated. The soldiers intensified their search efforts, meticulously investigating every village and forest. In some areas, they began contacting local residents to conduct more targeted bandit suppression.

In a short period of time, in many places in the Great Xia, many anti-bandit forces launched several fierce battles with the bandits almost simultaneously. Each battle was full of danger, but also achieved good results.

Of course, the bandit suppression work had nothing to do with Zhou Zheng'an.

Meanwhile, in Gongdelin, many special trainees, after seeing the news in the Masses Daily about the great victory in the Tieyuan sniper battle, began to review the events.

At this moment, in the playground of Gongdelin, sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.

Many special needs students sat around in the corridor, watching Huang Jiawei holding a copy of the *Masses Daily*. Their faces were filled with surprise and admiration. They discussed it amongst themselves.

A special student named Hong Ming'an frowned and said, "How could the elite 13th Division have laid an ambush beforehand? This is unbelievable."

Another special student looked at Hong Ming'an and said, "Old Hong, you wouldn't have guessed this either."

Hong Ming'an nodded.

As the youngest division commander of the Kuomintang's main force, Hong Mingan had a high level of tactical skill and was very good at fighting.

Another special trainee said, "Normally speaking, the US military is so cunning, how could they fall into an ambush so easily? There must be a mastermind behind this."

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by the special trainees, who all felt that an extraordinary person had emerged from the Volunteer Army and admired him greatly.

Subsequently, they jointly suggested that Gongdelin contact the relevant authorities to inquire which expert discovered this, and then use this as a pretext to ambush the US attacking troops and make them suffer greatly.

Huang Xianjun, the warden of Gongdelin Prison, took the request and reported it to his superiors. From his office, he called Director Huang and said, "Director Huang, this is a request from the special inmates. They're asking who offered the strategy in the Tieyuan sniping battle. What do you think we should do?"

Director Huang pondered for a moment on the phone and said, "Comrade Xianjun, wait a moment, I'll give you a report."

Afterwards, Director Huang reported to his superiors, and Director Meng said that he could inform the special students at Gongdelin.

The reasons are simple: firstly, it can deter these special trainees; secondly, these people are still locked up inside and cannot leave for the time being, so they cannot leak secrets.

Soon, Director Huang called Huang Xianjun again, saying that he could tell the special trainees that it was Comrade Zhou Zheng'an who discovered and made the suggestion.

Huang Xianjun was taken aback when he received the call; it was related to Zhou Zheng'an. He thought to himself, "This Zhou Zheng'an is truly a talent."

A smile quickly spread across his face as he approached the special trainees and announced loudly, "Gentlemen, I've received the answer to your questions. It's said that Comrade Zhou Zheng'an is a mastermind who discovered the US's planned attack on Tieyuan and cleverly laid an ambush."

Huang Jiawei and Wen Jianming were both taken aback when they heard this.

Huang Jiawei's eyes widened, and he said, "Isn't it Zhou Zheng'an, the deputy director of the Shangcheng District Police Station, who came to Gongdelin to give a ideological report before?"

Huang Xianjun nodded and said, "That's right, it's him. However, Comrade Zhou Zheng'an is now serving as an operations staff officer in the Special Staff Department."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Zhenxiong and the others found out and were extremely impressed.

Wang Zhenxiong couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "This Staff Officer Zhou Zheng'an is really amazing. He was able to predict the US's actions in advance and come up with such a good plan."

Many people immediately expressed their hope that Zhou Zheng'an would come to Gongdelin again to teach everyone a lesson, to see how he thought the US would launch a sneak attack on Tieyuan and how he planned to turn the tables on them.

I'm really curious; I'm itching to find out.

The main reason they were surprised was the news of the victory at Tieyuan. They hadn't expected the Chinese People's Volunteer Army to anticipate the US attack on Tieyuan, let alone prepare for it so far in advance. Keep in mind that the elite 13th Division had dug a long tunnel network; it wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

Soon, the request was approved, and the organization felt that Zhou Zheng'an could go to Gongdelin again, or even had to go to Gongdelin.

At this time, Zhou Zheng'an was still serving as an operations staff officer in the Special Staff Department. After receiving the order, he asked Director Yao and Director Meng what he could answer.

Director Meng pondered for a moment and said, "Anything is fine, except for some of the highest level of confidentiality."

He also instructed Zhou Zheng'an to further intimidate these special trainees, especially troublemakers like Huang Jiawei and Wen Jianming.

Zhou Zheng'an accepted the order and left, thinking to himself, "It seems that these big shots really have a headache dealing with these special students of Gongdelin."

He drove his jeep again and soon arrived at Gongdelin.

Having visited before and being quite familiar with Huang Xianjun, the two greeted each other warmly upon meeting.

Huang Xianjun said with a smile, "Comrade Zheng'an, thank you for your help again this time."

Zhou Zheng'an responded with a smile, "Warden Huang, this is what I should do. It is my job and honor to do some ideological work for these special trainees and accelerate their rehabilitation."

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Zhou Zheng'an went to the large auditorium they had visited earlier.

Inside the auditorium, the special students were already seated, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Zhou Zheng'an walked steadily onto the podium, wearing a neat yellow uniform, his eyes firm and confident.

He glanced at the students below the stage, then smiled and said, "Hello everyone, it's nice to see you again."

A special student immediately spoke.

Zhou Zheng'an added, "I didn't expect you all to miss me so much. I've only been here a short time, and you already want me to come."

This immediately drew a lot of laughter.

After the laughter subsided, Zhou Zheng'an said loudly, "Alright, fellow special students, let's get down to business. I'm here today to share some information about the Tieyuan sniper battle."

The audience immediately fell silent, everyone listening intently.

Zhou Zheng'an then continued, "Actually, after the Xiajiang sniper battle, or rather after the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, I discovered that the US military had a huge advantage over the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Can you guess what it is?"

This guy actually started asking questions back.

With a look that was both thoughtful and expectant, he swept his gaze across the faces of the audience, some puzzled and some deep in thought.
