1979, China and Vietnam went to war, and the Central Military Commission appointed General Xu as the commander-in-chief of our army's former enemy on the Eastern Front. In order to choose a lieutenant, Xu took out three bottles of Maotai and drank them with a general. The two generals shook hands and made peace, forming an alliance ... 1974, the commanders of the eight military regions switched sides and Xu arrived in Guangzhou. Chen Liangshun of the Military Management Office is responsible for the reception. Xu He's secretary met with the military cadres and prepared a speech. After reading a few words, he became impatient, threw those pieces of paper aside, casually said, simple and clear, without a word of decoration or politeness, and finished it in five minutes. As long as there is a meeting in the future, he will always be like this: the more people, the less time to talk. Chen Liangshun has been following Xu for a long time, and his understanding of him is also deepening. Besides sleeping, Xu usually only wears military uniforms, so no one needs to worry about dressing. It's hard to eat, but easy to say. It is difficult to have wine on the dining table, so we can only drink Maotai and Gu Jing. Most of his salary is spent on drinks. It is best to have game as an appetizer. The development of society puts forward ecological balance and wildlife protection, which is hard to accept. The military region has drafted and issued a document prohibiting hunting and killing, which can only really take effect after the approval of Commander Xu. When the document arrived in Xu's hand, he wrote and approved his personal opinion: hunting is not allowed, but bird hunting is allowed. A batch of documents came down, and the "scholars" in the military region were dumbfounded and in distress situation. Xu never goes to theaters, shops or hotels when he goes out. He either ran into the wild or entered the military camp. Compared with crops, flowers and trees are like crops; He prefers the playground to the playground. When Xu was young and strong, he liked to compete with soldiers. Wooden guns are elusive, and soldiers' wooden guns are often shot to the sky. After coming to Guangzhou, he also likes to compete with soldiers. When he stabbed, he really had a lingering force. Ordinary soldiers were no match at all. He likes to compete with the strong, and under his fame, those fierce "top" can't help feeling guilty. Besides, he was the commander, and the soldiers lost their momentum before they started, so the result of the game was his victory. To tell the truth, Xu does have some "unique skills" in his hand. For example, knocking out the gun in the opponent's hand when stabbing is similar to Guan Yunchang's "dragging a knife" and Yue Fei's "returning carbuncle". However, when he was in his 70s, he still shot at the soldiers one by one, and there were also some factors that made the soldiers give way to each other. Whenever Xu knocked out the wooden gun in the soldier's hand, he laughed happily. "Ha ha, how's it going? Nodding is not old? " Xu Youshi laughed, and the officers and men cheered in unison: "Commander Xu will not be reduced!" No less than Commander Xu, Zhuang Huaimeng participated in the self-defense counterattack on the Sino-Vietnamese border. On the front line in Guangxi, he is the commander, and he must choose a deputy commander. Xu clenched his chin and paced, remembering those comrades who had fought with him, screening them in his mind one by one, and finally naming names. "How is Liu Changyi now?" "Probably retiring soon, I heard that it's already half price ..." "Mom pulled an X, so I won't let him fight this battle, and I can't fight it in the future. Just call him! " Although Xu named the general, he still hesitated. "I hope he is not old." At that time, he served as deputy commander of Nanjing Military Region and was invited by Xu to Guangzhou. People are still the same, but their eyes are bright and full of energy. "Commander Xu, Deputy Commander Liu has arrived." Chen Liangshun arranged for Deputy Commander Liu to report to Commander Xu. "I will treat you at home tonight, so you should prepare more wine," Xu Youshi ordered. No one has ever seen Xu ask Deputy Commander Liu about his physical condition, let alone talk to him about his research and consideration of modern warfare. He only heard that he was asked to prepare wine. Drink three bottles of maotai and serve wine. At first, they just reminisced about the past and recalled their narrow escape. After drinking, the two had nothing to say, and they dared to fight. Xu Youshi asked angrily, "I have drunk three bottles of wine, how dare I open them?" Liu Changyi said proudly, "There is nothing in the world that you can and can't drink. Only those who dare to drink and dare not drink, those who survived, are afraid to drink even if they are not afraid of death? I'll drink wherever commander Xu drinks! " After drinking this glass of wine, Xu slept in a daze all day. Deputy commander Liu was drunk for two days. Xu Youshi sighed with emotion, "What a hero, not afraid of death. The deputy commander is him! " We can't simply say "maybe drink". That is the result of many considerations and comparisons, and drinking is only a small aspect. What's more, Xu also made a philosophical remark: it is not difficult to learn to fight, and it is not easy for anyone to lay down his life for the enemy. After choosing a good general, it is to send troops. Xu leads troops with the style of a general. The troops encountered many difficulties in advancing, and reports came from time to time, which made people tremble with fear. Xu Youshi was not nervous, worried or even cared, and threw the report aside. He only cares about big military operations, gives orders for all units to implement them, and whether military law can be realized. After the troops captured lang son, the central government ordered the withdrawal. Xu Youshi looked thoughtfully at the military map and refused to give orders. He stretched out a finger as thick as a carrot and compared it on the map: "It's all plains, and tanks and cannons have just been put into use. I can arrive in Hanoi in less than two hours. " However, judging from the overall international situation, we have no worries. We should prevent being stabbed in the back. Shenyang military area command is under great pressure, and the central authorities have repeatedly ordered us to retreat. Xu You expressed his obedience to the order, but at the same time insisted on delaying: "Arch once, I will arch again ..." Xu You hoped to bring the main force of Vietnam back from Cambodia. He said to the military leaders, "Let's arch forward again and scare them all at once! ..... "He sent troops out of Langer for dozens of kilometers. At that time, Vietnamese government agencies withdrew from Hanoi. Hearing this, Xu laughed, rolled up his sleeves and shook his big arm and said, "Are you afraid?" ? Get back! Get your ass out! When the victory of the war ended, Xu ordered with a sullen face: "I am not allowed to inform anyone or meet them when I go back." I'll shoot anyone who leaks information! "But, an army leader thought, how can such a big thing not be reported to the Central Committee? He reported the date of Xu's return to the Central Military Commission. As a result, the leading comrades in Guangdong knew about it and rushed to the airport in advance to give a warm welcome. Xu Fei returned to Guangzhou, and just arrived at the door of the engine room, he scolded. Because he saw the welcoming crowd. The governor who came to welcome him was a senior party and government official who served as the vice premier of the State Council in 1950s. He greeted him warmly with a big smile and held out his hand to shake hands. Xu Youshi stepped forward, grabbed his hand and shook it hard off guard. "The chief let out a cry of pain and almost fell down." Shit, I told you to be polite. "Xu Youshi strode away and got in the car. Xu is such a person. The Central Committee sent Comrade Wang Zhen to attend the celebration meeting. Sending young people is no good. Probably won't buy it. He can only send Elder Zhen to Rainbow. Xu is stubborn and only respects the elderly. Xu is a legendary general of our army with special experience and achievements, full of personality and characteristics. Therefore, people can kindly forgive some of his weaknesses.

1971September 12, in Tiananmen Square, the capital, thousands of students holding colored paper flowers were rehearsing for the military parade to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). Military music and instructions to organize a parade rehearsal were played on the loudspeaker. Not only in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other cities, they are also busy celebrating the National Day. Just one day later, in September 13, the lively and joyful atmosphere was replaced by the tense atmosphere. Announce to the people of the whole country that airports all over the country are under martial law, planes are forbidden to fly into the sky, and long-term busy demonstrations are announced to stop. What's going on here? Everyone is in a daze. In the middle of the night, Xiao Yongyin, deputy commander and chief of staff of Nanjing Military Region, was awakened in his sleep. The secretary on duty told him that Commander Xu called him to go. Xu lives in No.8 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which used to be the mansion of Sun Yat-sen's descendants. The building is tall and the environment is quiet. Now it is heavily guarded, and the guards and soldiers are armed with live ammunition, solemnly guarding the residence of the first person in the Nanjing Military Region. Xiao Yongyin is in charge of the security forces, and all the soldiers know him. Xu Youshi gave him special treatment. Anyone who comes to the door must report to Xu and be released only after approval, except him. Xu is not polite, and his words are not embellished. He told the truth: "Just now, the General Office of the Central Committee called and said that a large plane had escaped from the Central Committee and its whereabouts were unknown. The central government ordered the closure of the national airport, all planes were grounded and all radars were activated to monitor the sky. If a plane lands here, it is not allowed to take off. " He added, "Order all planes not to go to the sky and all ships not to sail." Xiao Yongyin was shocked by the news and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Who has the courage to fly a big plane?" Xu You mysteriously told Xiao Yongyin: "This man is not an ordinary nobody. You will know in a few days. " At dawn the next day, people near the airport saw that the runway of the airport was full of army soldiers with live ammunition, and planes were parked neatly on the airport. Xiao Yongyin finished his official business, and it was already the early morning of 14. The ancient city of Jinling is shrouded in a gray morning fog. He got into a jeep, crossed the Zhongshan Gate and came to No.8 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum again. He saw Xu practicing Shaolin boxing in the distance. Seeing Xiao Yong-yin enter the door, Xu Youshi smiled and said, "I'll teach you Shaolin Boxing. Can you learn? You can defend yourself if you learn it. " Xiao Yongyin was about to answer when the secretary who rushed in interrupted him: "Commander Xu, a long-distance call from Beijing. Please answer the phone. " Xu Youshi strode to the office, followed by Xiao Yongyin. Xu picked up the confidential phone and nodded while listening. He put down the phone and said to Xiao Yongyin, "Come on, let's have breakfast." Chef Lao Wang brought the food, put it on the table, and turned to leave. Xu Youshi quickly closed the door and said to Xiao Yongyin, "It was Premier Zhou who called just now and said that Lin Biao had escaped from the sky." Three days later, the dark night sky was covered with a thick layer of ink, which was opaque, and the rain in Mao Mao floated with the wind. In Nanjing Railway Station, except for a few passengers, some are dozing off and some are walking back and forth. Everything is so quiet. At this moment, a train rang, and a train from the north stopped, panting. Two soldiers came out of the box at the back. Walking in front is Xu, commander of Nanjing Military Region, followed by Li, secretary. The jeep that picked them up stopped at the door of the soft sleeper car. Make a train and jump on the jeep. The jeep flashed out of the emergency door and headed for No.8 Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. At the door, Xu took care of Secretary Li and said, "Drive my car and call Deputy Commander Xiao." Half an hour later, Xiao Yongyin appeared in front of Xu. Xu said: "Chairman and Premier Zhou asked me to go to Beijing, explained the task, and secretly arrested Lin Biao's best friend" Three Kingdoms and Four Sides ". You should set out at once, first to Shanghai, then to Hangzhou, and then to Nanjing to catch the people in Nankong. The sooner the better! " The so-called "Three Kingdoms" refer to Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. The so-called "quartet" refers to: Jiang Tengjiao, deputy director of the Political Department of the Beijing Air Force; Wang Weiguo, political commissar of the Fourth Army of Shanghai Airlines; Chen Liyun, political commissar of Hangzhou-Air Fifth Army; Zhou Jianping, Deputy Commander of Nanjing Air Force. After briefly introducing the situation of "Three Kingdoms and Four Sides", Xu Zhengse said: "Lin Biao, Ye Qun and Lin are now lying dead in the wilderness. When the head coach dies, all three countries and four parties will be driven to the shit. Will they die? They must be resolved quickly. " He told Xiao Yongyin that Beijing's best friend had been arrested, and Nanjing should act quickly. Xu said: "I have many things to do, and I have to select cadres and organize working groups to go to the Southern Air Force, the Fourth Air Force and the Fifth Air Force. I can't leave Shanghai for the time being, you will perform the task! " "Yes!" Xiao Yongyin answered loudly. Before his family returned, he set off with the security minister Li Shuhe and others. There is a Shuofang airport near Suzhou. Xiao Yongyin heard that he sent someone to blow up a railway bridge near Shuofang airport before the special train arrived, in order to murder. Is Fang Shuo Airport under control? Xiao Yongyin is not at ease. Three days ago, he had telephoned Zhang Ming, commander of the 60th Army, and asked him to send troops to quickly control Shuofang Airport. What's the situation now? Before getting on the bus, Xiao Yongyin asked the secretary on duty to call a division in Suzhou and asked the teachers to gather on the train. When the train passed Suzhou, the teacher got on. Xiao Yongyin asked in a low voice, "How many people did your teacher go to?" "I went to two battalions." He answered calmly. Xiao Yongyin thought for a moment and whispered, "As usual, sending two battalions is enough, but Shuofang Airport is close to the Fourth Army of Shanghai Airlines, which is not enough." He said to me, "If you send two more battalions, you must absolutely guarantee that there will be no mistakes!" When the train arrived at Shanghai station, it was already dawn. According to the call made in advance, ask the Shanghai Garrison to send a car to pick up the station. According to his request, the garrison sent two dilapidated jeeps and stopped at the exit of the station. Why do you want an old jeep? Xiao Yongyin is very considerate. He was afraid of revealing his identity and alarming him. The old car is not outstanding! Because these two cars are too old, like an old cow dragging a broken car all the way, Lin Biao's best friend never dreamed of it. Sitting inside is actually the deputy commander of the Nanjing Military Region. After driving for half an hour, the car "crunched" and stopped at the gate of Shanghai Yan 'an Hotel in Nanjing Military Region. Zhou Chunlin, commander of Shanghai Garrison, and Liu Yaozong, political commissar, greeted them at the door. After getting off the bus, Xiao Yongyin walked into a room and said, "I'm here on a special mission. Please cooperate with the garrison and obey the transfer at any time. You should do two things first: First, immediately send a company to occupy the commanding heights of Yan 'an Hotel. If the fourth air force attacks, it must last for four hours; Second, send two divisions into Shanghai to control major streets such as Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road, Sichuan Road, Fujian Road and Bund, and prohibit the passage of the Fourth Air Force. " In order to cooperate with Xiao Yong Yin, Mao Zedong decided to lure the snake out of the hole by the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee. I called him to Beijing for an interview and invited him to Nanjing to find the specific task of accepting Xu. Xiao called Wang Hongwen's office with silver and asked, "Are you Deputy Director Wang? I am Xiao Yongyin. " Wang Hongwen said on the other end of the phone: "I have received a call from Premier Zhou and accepted the task of Nanjing. I will definitely help you. Where do you think the battlefield should be chosen? " Xiao Yongyin simply said: "You decide, this is the same as fighting. Everything depends on time and conditions, as long as they can't stand the doubt and come happily. The central government asked us not to solve the problem with one shot. " Wang Hongwen hesitated for a moment on the phone, and then decided to say, "It is definitely impossible to invite them to the Yan 'an Hotel in the military area command, because the goal there is big and it is within the scope of the Nanjing Military Region, which is easy to arouse Wang Weiguo's suspicion. I think it is better to go to Kangban (the office of the municipal party Committee) or Jinjiang Hotel. " Wang Weiguo is in charge of politics and law. The security personnel of Kangban know Wang Weiguo, so it is obviously inappropriate to arrest him in Kangban. Xiao Yongyin thought for a moment and said, "Then it's at Jinjiang Hotel!" This afternoon, there was a lot of traffic in front of Jinjiang Hotel, and pedestrians on the roadside came and went, and everything was the same as before. In the hotel, the passengers went in and out with smiles, and the waitress in red and white pants greeted a group of strangers with smiles. There are secret sentries on every floor here, and the waiters and waitresses on the corridors and stairs are all cadres and soldiers in Shanghai Garrison in plain clothes. In the conference room on the 10 floor, a secret combat meeting is being held, attended by members of Shanghai Revolutionary Committee and leaders of Wang Hongwen, Ma Tianshui and Shanghai Garrison. Xiao Yongyin presided over the meeting. He scanned the meeting place, and his clear and sharp eyes fell on every participant. Then, he said in a serious tone, "Chairman Mao ordered us to arrest Wang Weiguo. This is an important political task. My opinion was drawn up by Deputy Director Wang. Specifically, Deputy Director Wang called and asked him to listen to and convey the central document. " On the second day of Lin Biao's escape from Wang Hongwen, he was called to Beijing, and Mao Zedong met him secretly and face to face, asking him to assist the Nanjing Military Region in arresting Lin Biao's best friend. When he left Zhongnanhai, he was told that Mao Zedong would promote him as his successor. He was very excited at that time and vowed, "I will do it well." The arrest of Lin Biao's best friend this time is a good opportunity for him to make contributions. He knew that the commander of the battle was Xiao, the deputy commander of Nanjing Military Region. He went to Nanjing to listen to Xu's specific plan and was determined to be a good supporting role and fight this battle well. As soon as Xiao Yongyin's voice fell, he said, "I will do whatever Deputy Commander Xiao says. I used to be a soldier, and I was a platoon secret officer of the 27 th Army in the Korean battlefield. At that time, it was known that Deputy Commander Xiao was the deputy commander in charge of operations of 12 Army. I will always be a soldier in front of Deputy Commander Xiao. Deputy Commander Xiao told me to go east, and I will never go west. " Wang Hongwen's words are very pertinent, and the sincere expression on her face really touched Xiaoyong Yin. He smiled and said, "With your full support, we will definitely win this battle." Seeing that everything was ready, Xiao Yongyin said to Wang Hongwen, "Call Wang Weiguo now." Dialed the number of the Fourth Air Force Army and said with a smile, "Is it Wang? I'm Hong Wen. How have you been recently? " Wang Weiguo said, "Thank you for your concern. My health is average. " He joked: "The main part is good. Does Deputy Director Wang want me to do something? " "I dare not bother you. You are in charge of public security, politics and law, and your burden is already very heavy. " Wang Hongwen glanced at Xiaoyongyin as he answered, and then casually said, "Well, the General Office of the Central Committee sent a document. There are too many party, government and military organs in Shanghai, so there is only one document. Come and have a look. " "I have something to do now, just tell me what's on the phone." The voice on the phone is so loud that everyone here can hear it clearly. Xiao Yongyin's heart sank and his brow wrinkled: "Is our action leaked? Listening to the tone, the other party seems to be wary. " Wang Hongwen also paused, but soon calmed down. He rolled his eyes and smiled and said, "Wang Zhengwei, it's not that I don't talk to you on the phone. Although the content is not much, it is confidential and not suitable for communication by telephone. " Please come here. There are not many words in the document. You can read it in a few minutes. Afraid that he wouldn't take the bait, Wang Hongwen added, "Come on, Manager Zhang of the hotel got a few pounds of crabs from somewhere." . Ma Lao said that he would accompany you to drink two cups of Maotai today. "It may be that Wang Weiguo thinks Wang Hongwen is right, or that the last sentence will work. Wang Weiguo finally nodded in agreement and said, "OK, I'll be right there!" Just hung up the phone. Xiaoyongyin's eyes lit up, and the enemy was finally led out of the hole! He straightened up unconsciously, glanced at the crowd, and his eyes hinted that everyone was ready. They waited for half an hour, and finally the car imported from Wang Weiguo slowly pulled into Jinjiang Hotel. Wang Weiguo and Wang Hongwen usually have a good friendship. Leaders of the Shanghai Garrison often attend meetings of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee at Jinjiang Hotel. So, judging from his expression at that time, there seems to be no doubt. He got off the bus, got on the elevator with great familiarity, and went to the conference room on the 10 floor. He is about to enter the door. The plainclothes guard waiting by held out his hand and made a gesture, saying, "Chief, please come in." Then stop the entourage behind you with your hand and say, "Please stay there and have a rest." All this is an ancient rule, so Wang Weiguo has no doubt. He turned to his entourage and said, "You wait." He walked into the door of the conference room with a big smile on his face. However, when I looked up, the smile on my face suddenly froze. There is no Wang Hongwen or Ma Tianshui in the meeting room, but a room full of soldiers. Xiao Yongyin sat in the middle, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate his chest. He froze and was stupid. Suddenly, he felt weak and trembling. He turned around and saw seven or eight armed cadres standing around. He subconsciously wanted to draw his gun, but it was too late. He only heard Xiao Yongyin shouting, "Wang Weiguo, you are under arrest!" With this order, the guns of Li Shu, the minister and the security officer stood against Wang Weiguo's waist. The security officer stepped forward, clicked, and half a catty of handcuffs were put on his hand. Wang Weiguo bowed his heavy head in dismay. Wang Weiguo silently followed him into the elevator. At this moment, two security personnel came forward and a big black cloth covered Wang Weiguo's head. As I said before, Wang Weiguo is in charge of Shanghai's public security, politics and law, with great power. People didn't know the truth at that time. In case the news gets out, it may cause confusion. A line of people with Wang Weiguo out of the elevator, out of the basement door, on the jeep. Jeep carrying Wang Weiguo, suddenly rushed into endless traffic, like flying to a secret basement command post. A special battle without gunfire ended successfully.
