Chapter 1057: No Vigilance at All
The Mingzhou Military Sub-district was not a high-ranking unit, and a regiment of a certain unit was stationed here. Yu Zecheng and Wang Zining had brought people here a few days ago. The order from their superiors was to unconditionally obey the orders of Qin Dabao, the director of the Eighth Division. However, they had not seen Qin Dabao since arriving here, and Yu Zecheng, Wang Zining and others were a little anxious.
Now they believe Dabao's judgment more and more, because tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were dispatched to the coastal areas of Dongshan Province and southern Fujian, and several spies were indeed captured. However, after interrogation, they were found to have nothing to do with this mission.
Now the attention of the superiors is also focused on Mingzhou. The Zhejiang Provincial Military District even sent a combat team to Mingzhou, mainly to cooperate with the actions of Yu Zecheng and others.
Yu Zecheng and Wang Zining became the temporary leaders. They also passed down the order and prepared to launch an operation in Zhoushan Islands. At this time, Dabao arrived in Mingzhou.
Dabao drove a jeep to the gate of Mingzhou Military Sub-district. It happened that Yu Zecheng, Wang Zining, Zhao Guoqing, the head of the Mingzhou Military Sub-district stationed there, and political commissar Duan Tie were just about to go out for lunch.
Originally, lunch was supposed to be eaten in the military sub-district cafeteria, but Zhao Guoqing said that since Yu Zecheng and Wang Zining came, they had not yet been formally invited to a meal, so he ordered a seafood meal at the state-owned restaurant and invited Yu and Wang to try it.
Mingzhou is close to the sea, so it is really hard to find meat and eggs, but there are so many seafood, especially yellow croaker and lobster, which can give people from Beijing a new experience.
What had Yu Zecheng not experienced? He had been in the upper middle class of the Military Control Commission for so many years, eating and wearing the best clothes, using the best things. Even the best seafood couldn't lift his spirits. The key point was that there was no news about Dabao, and he was not familiar with domestic affairs, so he didn't dare to make a rash decision.
Wang Zining had never had a seafood feast before. When he heard that there were yellow croakers weighing more than ten pounds and lobsters as long as his arms, he was eager to try it. He agreed immediately. Yu Zecheng postponed it for a long time, but Zhao Guoqing and Duan Tiegang kept inviting him. Wang Zining also insisted on going, so Yu Zecheng had no choice but to agree.
As soon as the four of them walked out of the military sub-district, Dabao's jeep stopped in front of them. Dabao jumped out of the car. When Yu Zecheng and Wang Zining saw Dabao, they were immediately overjoyed.
Dabao frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
The military uniform he wore had no collar or cap badges, and his trouser legs were rolled up high. He had been searching outside every day for the past two days, and his pretty face was a little tanned, making him look like a handsome young man next door.
Zhao Guoqing heard that Dabao's tone of voice was very tough, his face became serious and he asked loudly.
"Who are you? Who allowed you to park inside the cordon at the entrance of the military sub-district?"
Although he was a little stupid, there was nothing wrong with what he said, but it scared Yu Zecheng and Wang Zining.
Yu Zecheng hurriedly stopped Zhao Guoqing and said to him with a serious expression.
"Captain Zhao, please pay attention to your tone and attitude. This is Director Qin of the Eighth Department of the General Staff!"
"What? Comrade Yu, are you kidding? Director Qin, how could he be so young?"
No one answered his question. To Dabao and his colleagues at the headquarters, a small local leader was nothing, so they were too lazy to pay attention to him.
Dabao's expression became more and more solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
"Didn't I tell you? You must keep a low profile here. Since the enemy might be here, your military sub-district is a key location they're keeping an eye on!
Why are you still walking around? Lao Yu, do you think the enemy doesn’t recognize you?
Yu Zecheng lowered his head in shame, and Wang Zining was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that just going out for a meal would have such serious consequences. Wang Zining gritted his teeth and took half a step forward.
"Commander, this is all my fault. Captain Zhao wanted to treat us to a meal, but Old Yu didn't want to go. I insisted on going. I was wrong. Please punish me."
Dabao squinted his eyes and looked at him, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.
"Wang Zining, pack your things immediately and return to the General Staff to await the organization's investigation and handling."
Not only Wang Zining was stunned, but also Zhao Guoqing and Duan Tiegang were stunned. Zhao Guoqing now believed that Dabao was Director Qin, and he immediately smiled.
"Director Qin...it's not that serious, right? I'm just going out for a meal..."
Dabao ignored him and threw the car keys to Yu Zecheng. He turned and rushed towards a small woods opposite. The small woods was at the edge of his consciousness. He just saw a figure flash by, but when he rushed over, the person was gone.
Dabao's face became uglier and uglier. Wang Zining, Zhao Guoqing, and Duan Tiegang also ran over and saw Dabao bending down and looking at the shoe prints under the tree.
Dabao measured it with his hand, then gently picked up a handful of soil and twisted it, then sighed and stood up.
He looked at the two local comrades who looked confused and had no idea what was going on. Wang Zining seemed to understand something and he cried out.
"Is the Chief really being followed by spies?"
Dabao nodded solemnly and turned to walk towards the military sub-district.
"It's a pity that he escaped and was not caught. Wang Zining, whether in wartime or in peacetime, our work is extremely important. We must be bold and careful.
I know you look down on Yu Zecheng a little bit. Even though he is your leader, you show your emotions without disguising it. I know you must have been in the army before. To you, only those who are brave enough to fight with bayonets are soldiers.
But you are wrong, soldiers, there are not only comrades like you who dare to fight and fight, and are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but also comrades who silently dedicate themselves and carry heavy burdens forward. In order to be your ears and your eyes, they do not hesitate to lurk inside the enemy.
They are like walking on a suspension bridge. If they are not careful, they will fall into the abyss. You cannot understand this kind of suffering.
Take today's incident for example. You, Wang Zining, completely forgot your responsibilities and indulged in food, causing all the previous covert work to go to waste. Don't you think you should be punished?"
Wang Zining lowered his head, and his heart was filled with regret as if it were stabbed by a knife. He really didn't think that much.
Several people walked into the military sub-district. Yu Zecheng had already parked the car and came to greet them. He handed the car keys to Dabao.
"Director, is there someone spying in the grove? When I came here, I told Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Duan that this grove shouldn't exist. If there are any enemies hiding in it, they can figure out our troop deployment."
When Zhao Guoqing and Duan Tiegang heard this, they looked at each other. They had never expected this.
"Two men, between 25 and 35 years old, judging by their shoe size, and 1.65 to 1.72 meters tall. One of them has a slight limp, likely from a recent ankle sprain that hasn't fully healed yet. They're taking turns monitoring the military sub-district..."
