Chapter 15 Chapter fifty-seven

Wu Keqin's daughter Lu Wenlin and her boyfriend Jiang Xiaocai climbed to the observation tower on the roof platform of the sixth floor, wearing hard hats and holding spears in their hands.The watchtower is made of triangular steel, iron sheets and wooden boards, which looks a bit like a towering lighthouse.When they climbed to the top of the watchtower along the revolving ladder welded by steel bars, they had the highest point overlooking the entire Beiqing University and the surrounding area. There are windows around the small circular room at the top of the watchtower, and these windows have sashes made of iron sheets. When they push the sash open, they can see the far and near scenes in their eyes.

In May and June of 1968, Beiqing University was already in a situation of strict barriers and armed separatism.The Cultural Revolution of Beiqing University under the leadership of Wu Keqin and the Jinggangshan Corps of Beiqing University led by Hu Changsheng became two opposing factions.In Beiqing University, the school’s Cultural Revolution forces had the upper hand, while the Jinggangshan Corps was at a disadvantage; but within the scope of Beiqing’s East Campus, it was just the opposite, the Jinggangshan Corps had an absolute advantage, and the school’s Cultural Revolution forces were at a disadvantage.Lu Wenlin and Jiang Xiaocai not only joined the Jinggangshan Corps, but also became hardcore members of the Corps.Their betrayal of Wu Keqin was one of the proud events of the Jinggangshan Corps.Now, the two of them were watching the military situation of Beiqing University from the tower.

The Jinggangshan Corps leaned against the South School Gate and controlled the twenty buildings around the South School Gate.This group of buildings occupies a roughly rectangular area, and "air corridors" are used to communicate between buildings.The so-called "air corridor" is to open a gap like a door in the side walls of the highest floors (fifth or sixth floors) of the two adjacent buildings on the left and right, and then build a fully enclosed air corridor with steel and wood structures between the two floors.Fortunately, there are many students in the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture in Beiqing University, and this project cannot be difficult for them from design to construction.Although there are no air corridors between some buildings, they are by no means isolated islands. Tunnels have already been opened underground to form a more concealed connection.In the twenty or so buildings occupied by the Jinggangshan Corps, the doors and windows on the first floor had already been nailed to death with iron sheets, iron bars, and wooden boards. The few gates that were not nailed were guarded by groups of Corps soldiers with spears in their hands.On the roof platforms of each building, there are soldiers from the Corps patrolling.On several roof platforms at the front line, iron or wooden baffles like arrow stacks on the ancient city walls were built to prevent the opponent's slingshots and small-caliber rifles from shooting.From time to time, people were busy running on the roof, transporting and piling up ammunition such as stones, white ash, etc. to guard the building.On the roof of a nearby building, someone looked up at the watchtower and waved to Jiang Xiaocai. Jiang Xiaocai recognized the familiar face and waved to them with his hand out of the iron window.

On the sixth floor, there is another watch tower more than ten meters high, which can be said to be a feat of Beiqing University in the fighting.After the iron tower is assembled on the roof platform, it is erected at once with steel wire ropes, hanging chains, pulleys and electric winches.The success of this feat not only made the soldiers of the Jinggangshan Corps in the twenty buildings applaud and cheer on the roofs of their respective buildings, but also made the stunned people standing on the roofs of the school's Cultural Revolution sphere surrounding the South School Gate area. The crowd even attracted the amazement and admiration of the Huangcun business district south of Beiqing University and passers-by.The iron tower is firmly stabilized by the thin steel wire ropes around it, and there is no fear of a typhoon of level 12.A red flag of "Jinggangshan Corps of Beiqing University" was flying on the top of the tower. Jiang Xiaocai could hear the rustle of the red flag fluttering in the wind right now.Standing at this height, looking south, you can see the bustling Huangcun business district, and looking farther away, you can see the vast capital of Beijing.Looking north, it is the campus of Beiqing University.The School Cultural Revolution forces headed by Wu Keqin controlled the West School Gate, North School Gate, East School Gate and most of the buildings and areas of the school, and "air corridors" were built between their buildings.Because they have the upper hand, they are naturally confident, so some buildings only built "ground corridors" to penetrate the side walls of the first floor of two adjacent buildings, and then use the bunk beds in the student dormitory to connect them together to form a corridor. into a closed corridor.Some corridors have only two "walls" without a roof, and people can be seen flowing back and forth in these corridors from a distance from the watchtower.

Jiang Xiaocai looked around calmly. On his long white face like sunflower seeds, a pair of smart eyes blinked thoughtfully behind the glasses.When he stood at the highest height overlooking the entire terrain of Beiqing University, he entered the role of the head of the intelligence department of the Jinggangshan Corps.People are very strange, what position you hold will make your personality develop to this role.He is now completely unaware that he is a graduate student in philosophy, and he observes the world entirely in the role of Minister of Intelligence.This role made him like to stand in the high place and see the low place, and stand in the dark to see the bright place.His forehead and eyes are more stern than before, and his mind is more cunning when judging problems.In this role, he is used to seeing things more complicated, intentions more hidden, people's hearts worse, and schemes more vicious.The surgeon dissects the human body, and the intelligence secretary dissects human behavior.In this role, he often likes to squint his eyes, showing a hint of skeptical contempt on the nostrils and corners of his mouth, so that his gaze will be sharper when observing the enemy.When looking down at the military situation where the two factions are confronting each other, he tasted the excitement and pleasure of military operations.He knew that he was white and thin, and he also knew that he was once bookish. However, when he looked out of nowhere at this moment, he felt that he had the gloomy and coldness necessary for an intelligence minister.He picked up a military telescope and pulled the buildings in the distant enemy-occupied area to his eyes one by one, scanning window by window to observe the changes inside.

Lu Wenlin served as the deputy director of the intelligence department of the Jinggangshan Corps, and she followed Jiang Xiaocai very loyally and courageously to complete the intelligence work.When Jiang Xiaocai scanned building by building, window by window, he would truthfully report what he scanned, and Lu Wenlin quickly recorded behind his back.Jiang Xiaocai scanned from left to right, from near to far, building by building, and reported everything he could see in his field of vision.In the room on the left on the sixth floor of Building 1, there are people active now, but the number of people is unclear.In the second room from the left, the window was open, and someone used ropes to hang things from downstairs.In the third room from the left, the curtains are closed.In the fourth room on the left, many people are in a meeting, about twenty or so.In the fifth room on the left, someone is moving tables and chairs.The seventh room on the left is empty.The eighth room on the left, the door is open, no one is there.

Ninth from the left, the room is full of people who seem to be writing big-character posters.After the scanning of the six floors, it is five floors.After scanning the five floors, it is four floors. After one building is scanned, the second building will be scanned, and all the situation will be linked with the previous daily observation records for analysis.They have already grasped the general situation of each building on the other side. Which room is a general dormitory, which room is a den for copying big-character posters, which room is a conference room, which room is the headquarters, which room lives which school's Cultural Revolution chiefs, which room is the Their reference room, which room is the intelligence department of Wu Keqin School's Cultural Revolution, has detailed charts.When Jiang Xiaocai quickly scanned and dictated, Lu Wenlin was holding a folder in which the schematic diagrams of each building had already been drawn, and each floor and each room above were clearly drawn.Like filling out a curriculum sheet, Lu Wenlin filled in the table row by row and cell by cell with the situation of each floor and each house.

Just after Jiang Xiaocai scanned a building, Lu Wenlin suddenly found something and said, "Look, what is that?" He turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.In the enemy-occupied area, there was a large chimney more than 50 meters high, which had not been seen all night, and an iron cap was suddenly added to the chimney.Looking carefully through the telescope, a watchtower was built on the top of the chimney.It was a round iron house with closable iron windows and a low conical roof, which looked like an official hat of the Qing Dynasty from a distance.How did they get built overnight?It's really unbelievable.Jiang Xiaocai carefully observed the watchtower taller than himself with a binoculars. The black windows and holes of different sizes on the black iron building made it hard for you to see clearly who was moving inside.Suddenly, seeing a flash of light, Jiang Xiaocai's first reaction was that someone in the enemy watchtower was using binoculars. He signaled Lu Wenlin to close all the iron windows on all sides of the watchtower, leaving only one iron window for observation .

Soon, the inside of the watchtower became much darker, and he hid himself.Suddenly, with a "pop", a hole was pierced through the iron sheet next to the face. Jiang Xiaocai looked at the round hole the size of a finger, and said to Lu Wenlin, "They have guns." Lu Wenlin said, "Small-caliber rifles?" Jiang Xiaocai said, "No, it's a real rifle." They hurriedly closed the last window of the watchtower, and walked down the revolving iron ladder in the dark. When I got down to the roof platform, I heard the tweeter of the other party's radio station start to issue "command orders". The entire content of the "Order" is: From today, a 24-hour fire blockade will be imposed on the watchtower of the Jinggangshan Corps, and all spying activities at the watchtower of the Jinggangshan Corps will be banned.Jiang Xiaocai looked up at the watchtower on the opposite chimney, and said, "If we go up to the watchtower, they will shoot. They already have guns." Lu Wenlin said, "Then we are here, and they can shoot too. "Jiang Xiaocai said: "Maybe they only have one or two guns and dozens of bullets, so it is impossible to block everything." After a pause, he added: "This is called limited war. Both the United States and the Soviet Union block each other with atomic bombs." , but it doesn’t necessarily work.”

Jiang Xiaocai hung the binoculars around his neck, looked at the soldiers of the Jinggangshan Corps who were preparing for battle on the roof platform, waved to Lu Wenlin and said, "Go, go down the tunnel." Lu Wenlin followed Jiang Xiaocai knowingly down to the first floor with a spear in hand , came to the door of a room guarded by several Jinggangshan Corps soldiers holding spears, Jiang Xiaocai nodded to them, and walked in with Lu Wenlin.This was the entrance to a tunnel. They took out flashlights from their backpacks and walked down a section of brick steps, going deeper and deeper into the tunnel.The tunnel was dug to a height of two meters and a width of more than one meter, with a vaulted roof, and the soil around it exudes damp shade.They walked forward with flashlights, and from time to time they encountered soldiers from the Jinggangshan Corps walking through it, all of them wearing hard hats and holding spears in their hands.In order to prevent head-on wounding in the tunnel, all the people dragged their spears upside down as required, running like a team of mice in a hurry.When the oncoming flashlights shine on each other's faces, they all lower the lights and pass by without interfering with each other.When you meet someone you know, it's the same as meeting someone on the ground. You greet each other affectionately and briefly, and then go to perform different tasks.

They walked straight forward and turned a few more turns. There was no traffic task in the tunnel in front of them, and they did not meet a Jinggangshan soldier, because it had already crossed the area occupied by the Jinggangshan Corps and dug into the forces of the Cultural Revolution. scope.As we walked, there was a Jinggangshan warrior guarding an iron gate with a spear in front of us.The soldier of the Corps was a honest-looking boy, and when he saw Jiang Xiaocai, he raised his hands in a respectful salute.Jiang Xiaocai nodded to him, took out the key and unlocked the iron door, then locked the lock on the knocker, gently pushed the iron door open and got in, he said to the guards: "You are still guarding here." Close the iron door behind him, put the latch on, and walk forward with Lu Wenlin and flashlights on.This section of the tunnel is shorter and narrower, only one person is one meter high and wide, and in some places you have to bow your head slightly, and bump your head accidentally.In the end, the two came to a secret place, where a small wooden cabinet was embedded in the authentic earth wall.Open the two doors of the small wooden cabinet, revealing some wiring and telephone facilities, as well as a pair of earphones, and a red light the size of a little finger is blinking on and off.Jiang Xiaocai immediately said, "They are talking on the phone." He took off the earphones and put them on his head to listen for a while, then said to Lu Wenlin: "Your mother is on the phone and she is talking about me. Listen to me together." The earphones are attached to the ear one by one to sound. Wu Keqin's hoarse and slow voice came from the earphone, she was listening to the report.Wu Keqin said: "I heard it very clearly, you can continue." The voice of Ma Shengli they were familiar with said: "Our school's Cultural Revolution lookout station has suppressed Jinggangshan. A notice has been issued just now. The watchtower on Jinggang Mountain is under 24-hour blockade." Wu Keqin asked: "Aren't they afraid to keep watch?" Ma Shengli said: "Probably not, the shot just now probably killed Jiang Xiaocai It’s gone.” Wu Keqin was silent on the phone for a few seconds, and asked: “Are you sure?” Ma Shengli replied: “Probably about the same. Jiang Xiaocai was on the watchtower using binoculars to spy on our situation. It was Jin Zhiyong who fired the shot. He It is the first place in the national college shooting competition, and it must have hit the target." Wu Keqin was silent for a while, and said: "You still need to control the use of guns." Ma Shengli said: "I know this, and this is also to kill others. Normally we don't use guns, and we will kill them with spears. It’s down. Jiang Xiaocai, the Minister of Intelligence, is really hateful, and they seem to know all our secret activities in advance.” Wu Keqin thought for a while, and asked, “Are Lu Wenlin and Jiang Xiaocai on the watchtower together?” Ma Shengli replied: "Yes, I saw her in the binoculars too. But this shot will definitely not hurt Lu Wenlin, it was aimed at Jiang Xiaocai." Wu Keqin was silent again, and Ma Shengli said, "It's best to do something for Lu Wenlin." work, let her surrender, so that we can get a lot of their internal information.” Wu Keqin sighed, and said: “Everyone has their own political views, this kind of work doesn’t need to be done, and it won’t be effective. .” Ma Shengli said: "Didn't Teacher Lu say that he should do work for Lu Wenlin that day?" Wu Keqin sighed again: "As a father, he doesn't understand his daughter and has no influence on her. Well, that's it. Let’s see if there are any leaks in our intelligence, and we must plug the loopholes.” Ma Shengli said, “Yes.” Wu Keqin said, “What do you want to do next?” Ma Shengli said: "Government grows out of the barrel of a gun. Now, only military means can solve the problem, and ideological work is not a panacea. We plan to further surround them, divide the six buildings to the west of them to attack and occupy, and then compress the encirclement. If the enemy does not surrender, let them perish.” Wu Keqin pondered for a while, and said: “It is true that we cannot be relentless, and the central government also recognizes the fait accompli. As long as we can eat them and rule the world, the central government will be firm Support us. If we can’t eat them, and we continue to consume evenly, the result will be hard to tell. There must be no delay. The situation in many provinces outside the city is like this: one faction can dominate the world, grasp the revolution and promote production, and the central government will recognize you; two factions If you fight endlessly, it is possible for the army to take power." Ma Shengli said, "Don't worry, I am sure of this." The phone was hung up, and the flashing red light went out. The two put their spears side by side under their buttocks, and sat down with their backs against the dirt wall. The flashlight was turned off, and they couldn't see their fingers in the tunnel.Jiang Xiaocai asked, "What are you thinking?" Lu Wenlin adjusted her glasses in the dark, and said, "My mother is cruel enough." Jiang Xiaocai said, "Yes, her current goal is to destroy Jinggang Mountain by force. She thought she had beaten me to death." Lu Wenlin said, "The line struggle is really a life-and-death struggle." Jiang Xiaocai said, "She never thought there was such a loophole in intelligence." There was silence in the darkness. When the Jinggangshan Corps was digging the tunnel, they accidentally dug the telephone line and cable of Beiqing University, so they built this underground wiretapping station and gave it a code name, "Station 101".This is a first-class secret of the Jinggangshan Corps. Only Hu Changsheng knows it at the Corps headquarters, and only Jiang Xiaocai and Lu Wenlin know about it in the Corps Intelligence Department. In addition, there are two students from the Radio Department of the Jinggangshan Corps. Because of this The wiretapping device was made by them crudely.I originally wanted to lead the wiretapping line upstairs, but I was afraid of leaking the wind, so I turned it into an underground secret wiretapping station; I also wanted to send people on duty to eavesdrop 24 hours a day, but I was afraid of expanding the scope and leaking the wind, so the secret of Station 101 has not been kept. Go beyond the five of them.It is precisely by relying on Station 101 that they can always grasp the major developments of the school's Cultural Revolution faction.Lu Wenlin is very familiar with Wu Keqin's work and rest style, and also knows the time of her phone calls, so Jiang Xiaocai and Lu Wenlin or two people come together, or come in rotation, and basically can not miss Wu Keqin's main calls. It provided an important guarantee for the Jinggangshan Corps to be outnumbered. The silence in the dark made the eardrums uncomfortable, and Jiang Xiaocai said, "We can't all respond to the deployment of the school's Cultural Revolution actions that we learned through wiretapping." Lu Wenlin asked, "Why?" Jiang Xiaocai said, "That way, sooner or later they will be suspicious. The phone has been tapped. If they really suspect this, we will lose the most important source of information, and they may use their tricks and put false information on the phone to lure us." Lu Wenlin asked: "Then what should we do?" Jiang Xiaocai said : "First, we have to respond to important developments. For example, they are planning to attack the six buildings on the west side. We have to arrange them. However, some insignificant actions, such as they want to broadcast an article, have to set off We pretend not to know about a propaganda campaign. You have to react too quickly. As soon as his article comes out, your critical article will start broadcasting immediately, which will easily arouse suspicion. Second, we have to respond, and we must react Concealment. For example, if they decide to attack the sixth building in the west, we must step up our preparations. However, if we don’t expose it, then they won’t suspect that the failure to attack the building is due to information leaks. Third, don’t simply respond to a lot of information, but take All the information is integrated together to make an appropriate response." Lu Wenlin said: "You are quite witty." Jiang Xiaocai said: "Of course, I have overheard some irrelevant information, and I will not report it to the Corps headquarters. It is inevitable to expose our eavesdropping methods. In addition, our Jinggangshan Corps does not know the situation of Station 101. I have eavesdropped on the information, and I have to disguise it." Lu Wenlin nodded in the dark and said: "You Already said that." They have been doing this all the time. For example, today they obviously eavesdropped on the information that the school’s Cultural Revolution was going to besiege the sixth floor in the west of the Jinggangshan Corps. Based on the analysis, synthesis and judgment of the situation, the school’s Cultural Revolution is likely to attack the sixth floor in the west in the near future. The secret of awareness. Lu Wenlin said in the dark: "I found that you are quite suitable to be the Minister of Intelligence." Jiang Xiaocai laughed, and he said with a soft southern accent: "I found that it is actually the easiest to engage in politics and military affairs. If you are willing to use your brain and like to do it, the more you do it, the better you will do it, and the more you will become addicted. Doing politics and military affairs are actually like children fighting in groups. When I was young, I liked group fights very much." Lu Wenlin laughed and said, "It's really good. I can’t come out.” Jiang Xiaocai said: “Most people think that I’m a white-faced scholar who studies philosophy and engages in metaphysics all day long, but they don’t know that I have this side.” Lu Wenlin was obviously thinking about her thoughts, and replied casually: “Everyone has someone else. I don’t know the side. My mother is so ruthless, I can’t think of it.” Jiang Xiaocai said: “What’s unexpected?” Lu Wenlin said: “The entire Jinggangshan Corps will be wiped out by force, if I didn’t hear it with my own ears She said on the phone, I absolutely do not believe this is what she said. I always thought that this fight was involuntary and pushed by a group of people below." Jiang Xiaocai said: "This is your simplicity and naivety." Lu Wenlin said: "Yes, the phone call just now sounded a little spooky to me." Jiang Xiaocai smiled and said, "What's so spooky about this? Politics is like this." After a pause, Jiang Xiaocai said again: "You know what I'm doing now Thinking about something?" Lu Wenlin said, "I don't know." Jiang Xiaocai said, "I'm thinking of a complete battle plan, which is also a genius battle plan. Didn't the school's Cultural Revolution want to besiege our six buildings in the west? I'll just follow the plan and do it in secret. Make all preparations, strengthen the defense of the sixth floor in the west, and make a good battle plan. On the surface, the sixth floor in the west should appear to be particularly weak in defense and lax in vigilance, so as to paralyze them. In addition, I am going to release a false information to make the school Cultural Revolution feel well The Gangshan Corps is currently unstable and panic-stricken. This is called a tactic of arrogant soldiers to lure the enemy deep. When they sent troops to besiege the sixth building in the west, we suddenly concentrated our superior forces to wipe out the attackers from the inside and outside, and captured one or two hundred of them. Capture hundreds of spears, and then launch a powerful propaganda offensive on the radio station, which will definitely deal a severe psychological blow to the Cultural Revolution forces in the school, so that they will never dare to attack again." Lu Wenlin obviously didn't pay attention to these words, she was thinking about her business, after a while, she said: "Do you think my father knows my mother?" Jiang Xiaocai turned to look at Lu Wenlin, in the dark tunnel , he just saw Lu Wenlin by feeling, and he said: "Do you know your mother?" A red light was dimly lit, and Wu Keqin started calling again. They turned their heads and saw the red light flashing again.Jiang Xiaocai took off the earphones, put them on his head and listened, frowned, handed the earphones to Lu Wenlin, and said, "This is your mother's private life, please listen." Lu Wenlin put the earphones on her head, and when the indicator light In the bright and dark red light, Lu Wenlin could be seen nervously combing her hair while listening, her eyes were a little straight.Wu Keqin was talking to a man on the phone, the voice Lu Wenlin was very strange. Wu Keqin said: "Why don't you call at night? I live in the Cultural Revolutionary School now, so it's very convenient to make a call. I have a lot of work at the moment." The man said: "I wanted to call you last night, until 12:00 After 12 o’clock, I’m afraid it will affect your rest, so I’ll call again.” Wu Keqin said: “Now I have too many things to do, and you can’t help me. I’m very tired these two days. , sore neck, and poor appetite.” The man said, “I can’t help you politically, but I can give you a massage to ensure that your Qi and blood will flow smoothly and make you feel comfortable.” Wu Keqin said: “At the moment Don’t talk about these things.” The man said: “How is your family now?” Wu Keqin said: “You don’t know about my family? It can be described as 'Three Kingdoms'." The man said: "You have a country before you have a family." Wu Keqin said: "I have come here again, I have to deal with some things, what else do you have to say? Pick a time to talk again at night." The phone hung up, the red indicator light went out, and the tunnel was completely dark, only the eyes still had traces of the red light just now. Lu Wenlin hugged her knees and couldn't speak in the dark, Jiang Xiaocai was also silent. After a while, Lu Wenlin turned on the flashlight in her hand to let the light shine on the ground. She adjusted her glasses, looked at Jiang Xiaocai seriously and said, "Do you like this privilege of wiretapping? For example, you can wiretap Would you like to speak to everyone in this world?" Jiang Xiaocai also adjusted his glasses, looked at her and said, "Of course I would. In this way, I can understand every complete person in the world and a complete world. Lu Wenlin's hair was a little disheveled because of emotional shock. She straightened her hair and asked very seriously, "I'm not talking about intelligence work. As a person, do you want the privilege of eavesdropping on others?" Jiang Xiaocai put the Lightning the flashlight upside down on the muddy floor, she said, "I don't refuse such a privilege. There is a philosophical beauty in hiding in the dark and observing the world." Lu Wenlin blankly opened her eyes that were protruding due to myopia , After a while, he said, "Then you are voyeuristic." Jiang Xiaocai said, "Whatever you say, I'm talking about my true feelings." Lu Wenlin said: "I hate this kind of privilege. If you eavesdrop on others, others may eavesdrop on you." Jiang Xiaocai said: "I only want my privilege to eavesdrop on others." Lu Wenlin said: "But I hate it." Jiang Xiaocai asked: "Then what should we do now?" What are you doing?" Lu Wenlin said, "There is no way."
