Chapter 67

In the former Ordnance Institute in the north of Quzhou City, and now the frontline headquarters of the Zhejiang Encirclement and Suppression Command, there were constant debates. Wu Ming, who was ordered to attend the combat meeting, spat at several embarrassing big brothers, and even led two regiments to Quzhou just now. Fang Youchun, the deputy director of the security department, was also speechless under Wu Ming's resentful questioning.

"Why are you all dumb?"

Wu Ming, who shaved his head like the officers and soldiers of the headquarters, glanced around and asked loudly: "Even if you guys are too embarrassed to offend Commander Yu, you can give me some advice, right? The second and third regiments you brought directly under you have just finished Not long after the reorganization, Lao Shi Yuanzheng will not talk about it, if the fight is not good or if you are defeated, will Director Yu and you have any glory in your face?"

"Why don't you suggest deploying two well-equipped and well-trained main regiments under Lu Zhongxiu's command? Isn't the security force under Lu Zhongxiu's command not under the leadership of the Provincial Security Department?"

Liu Rulin was left speechless by the question, so he had to pat the table: "Little brother, don't be so excited, okay? How do you know that we won't recruit Lu Zhongxiu's main team? Director Yu is still at the wine table with Lu Zhongxiu When it comes to negotiations, why are you yelling without understanding anything? It seems like you are the only one who is wronged in the whole world."

Wu Ming was stunned: "Really?"

Ma Zhizhai replied unhappily: "Is this still fake? With Director Yu's identity and background, if you go to talk to Lu Zhongxiu in person, Lu Zhongxiu may not dare to refuse, right? Lu Zhongxiu of the two main regiments may be reluctant, but one regiment He must be dispatched, otherwise how will he mess around in the officialdom in the future?"

"Not bad! How did I forget that."

Wu Ming patted his forehead and sat down, untied the discipline button, and looked at the large military map on the front wall: "This way I can rest assured... It's a pity that Chen Zhaoxian's Fourth Regiment must sit in Jiangshan, facing northern Fujian and eastern Jiangxi at any time. The possible accidents cannot be mobilized at all, otherwise, if this guy who is good at attacking tough things goes around Huaiyu Mountain, there may be unexpected joy."

"The second battalion under my younger brother's command was just formed and is still training. It can barely take care of the house, but it is definitely not possible to take the initiative to attack. I can only stay in Kaihua and continue to be responsible for defense...The first battalion of my younger brother shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding three border checkpoints. If you can't leave, it seems that you can only take three direct subordinate companies to follow Commander Yu and Brother Ma to the expedition."

"When the time comes, I would like to ask you all to speak kindly for my younger brother in front of Commander Yu. You must use my younger brother's troops as a strategic reserve team, and you must not push my younger brother to the front line..."

Ma Zhizhai asked angrily, "Are you afraid of death?"

Not only was Wu Ming not angry, but he nodded solemnly: "That's right, my brother is afraid of dying on the battlefield of rivalry, so he can't lead his brothers to defend against foreign enemies!"

Ma Zhizhai and Fang Youchun looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they both sighed. Now it was completely clear about Wu Ming's unwillingness to fight a civil war.

Liu Rulin would never think that Wu Ming was afraid of death, but he didn't understand Wu Ming's secret thoughts, and seeing Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai's thoughtful expressions, he couldn't say anything.

After a long period of silence, Fang Youchun stubbed out his cigarette butt: "The Communist army in Northeast Jiangxi is not that easy to fight, otherwise the friendly army in Jiangxi would not lose troops in succession, defeat again and again, and the Nanchang suppression chief would not urgently order our army to quickly march into Jiangxi The battlefield, but judging from the current comprehensive situation of our army, I am afraid that its strength is not as good as that of our friendly army in Jiangxi, so the prospect of going here is not optimistic."

"Looking at the various ministries, only yours has a certain amount of combat experience. Even if Commander Yu promised you to lead three companies directly under you as a strategic reserve team, you still need to be mentally prepared... especially the secret service company under your command. He and the machine gun company have always been famous, and Chief Yu will not fail to see it."

Wu Ming immediately became vigilant. Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai knew the strength of the two companies under their command. Only the powerful firepower equipment of the special agent company and the machine gun company and the expenditure far higher than that of ordinary troops could not deceive Fang Youchun and Ma Zhizhai. eyes, but never thought that Yu Jishi, who had just taken office for a month, would know it too.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Ming turned to Ma Zhizhai, the chief of staff who was in charge of formulating the battle plan: "When we arrive at the Northeast Jiangxi battlefield, the safety of the frontline headquarters, Commander Yu, and your elder brother, Chief of Staff Ma, must be guarded, right? Give this glorious yet arduous and sacred task to my younger brother?"

Ma Zhizhai was very annoyed: "What the hell, I've never seen such a shameless person, I'm careless in making friends!"

Fang Youchun and Liu Rulin were also amused and laughed. After laughing, Fang Youchun kindly reminded: "Director Yu has his own guard battalion. This battalion is an old subordinate he brought from the Central Army. Although the equipment is not as good as yours, it is not as expensive as yours. The secret service company is like flowing water, but most of them are veterans who have fought for many years, and all the officers above the platoon leader are graduates of Whampoa, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of Director Yu and your brother Ma.”

"Director Yu agreed to let you serve as the reserve team before, but if the war is unfavorable, he may transfer you to the reserve team. You must have careful consideration...Don't think that Director Yu is not good when he arrives for the first time. Knowing you, he is also from Zhejiang, and he is also the younger generation and confidant of the chairman of the committee, and he is a leader in the Whampoa family, so you don't want to play tricks in front of him."

"That's right, Director Yu has been very low-key for half a month since he took office. He spent most of the time reviewing personnel files. I can see that he is very interested in you. This expedition may be a further opportunity. I hope you will If you can seize the opportunity, don't let it go." Liu Rulin urged with concern.

Wu Ming rubbed his face in pain, picked up his teacup, and stared at the military map on the wall in a daze. Finally, under the impatient urging of Ma Zhizhai, he stood up to say goodbye to his uncle Fang Youchun and Liu Rulin, and followed the process of receiving the ammunition and auxiliary supplies. The ship returned to Changshan sadly.

On February 24, the 25th year of the Republic of China, the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raised its head.

Under the bright sun, the army stretching for several miles slowly passed through the border checkpoint in Baishi Town, west of Changshan Mountain, like a long gray snake, meandering forward.

Yu Jishi, Director of the Security Department of Zhejiang Province, Chief Commander of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Border Encirclement and Suppression Frontline, and Commander of Zhejiang Security Forces, stood on the top of the thick reinforced concrete prismatic fortress, overlooking thousands of people on both sides of the road hundreds of meters from Baishi Town to the checkpoint. Looking at the groups of officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army marching silently in front of them with dejected expressions, he was rather disappointed. The troops under his command were seriously lacking in training, lazy formation and listless spirit, which made him feel that the burden on him was much heavier than expected.

The several school officials around Yu Jishi were full of high spirits. Only the colonel and staff officer Chen Shizheng, who had a delicate personality, was always thinking about the fortress under his feet. When he had seen enough, he stood up and asked Yu Jishi curiously:

"I didn't expect such a small place to have such an advanced fortress construction. Could it be that the German military defense consultants from the Nanchang Suppression General came to supervise the repair?"

"no!"

Yu Jishi looked at his feet and said with certainty: "This was designed and built by Wu Ming himself. All the fortifications and fortresses on the Changshan, Kaihua, and Jiangshan borders on the western Zhejiang border were written by him. I have read the files of the Security Department. The bluestone bridge defense design in the eastern suburbs of Hangzhou in the office, the signed designer is Wu Ming himself... His level of civil engineering is quite high. If I don't know his resume, I really doubt that he is a military defense project after studying abroad. He is an expert in this field, whose level is by no means inferior to my professional instructor in Huangpu, he is a rare talent!"

Chen Shizheng was very surprised, he had never heard that the rigorous and conceited Yu Jishi would praise a person so much before, and he couldn't help but feel more and more curious about this famous Wu Ming.
