Chapter 69 Test each other

Yu Jishi and his party left silently. Wu Ming returned to the hut behind the battalion headquarters, lay down with his clothes on, reviewed the correctness and effect of every sentence he said, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

From the first time he met Yu Ji, Wu Ming had been vaguely aware of Yu Ji's intention to solicit. Among other things, Wu Ming's more than [-] elite soldiers and excellent equipment are a huge attraction to any superior force.

Secondly, Wu Ming's fame gained in the past two years is enough to attract Yu Jishi's attention.

Although there are many examples of false names these days, there are many famous generals who boasted for political needs or the interests of various groups, and there are many people who usually end up in a dismal end in the end, but Wu Ming's ability and strength are clearly placed in the In front of everyone, Yu Ji, who has just arrived and shoulders the heavy responsibility of a province's defense, will not be invisible, let alone be indifferent.

From the bottom of his heart, the ambitious Wu Ming also wanted to seize the opportunity to test Yu Jishi. The reason why he spoke so aggressively and arrogantly in front of Yu Jishi and other generals tonight was to express his true opinion. Didn't you want to test Yu Jishi's bearing?
In Wu Ming's view, even if Yu Jishi is Chiang Kai-shek's nephew and confidant, and the most potential and influential Chu Qiao in the first phase of Whampoa, if he does not have a broad mind and enough wisdom, he is not worthy of his refuge and following, and he will It will be more harm than good, and even bring a fatal blow.

While Wu Ming was weighing the pros and cons alone, someone was also thinking about him in the living room of the carved beams and painted buildings in the Yushan County Government House. Wu Ming was very impressed.

Chen Shi, who looks ordinary, belongs to the inner beauty type of talent. He is low-key but quite talented. He is resourceful, decisive, and meticulous in thinking. He is so meticulous that he can deduce Wu Ming's general character from this behavior of Wu Ming wearing the same attire as a soldier. Wu Ming shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and like Guan Yunchang, "arrogant and never bear to be inferior, bullying the strong and not bullying the weak", etc., Chen Shizheng did not let go of them, and made an objective evaluation.

Generally speaking, Chen Shizheng believed in Wu Ming's ability and talent, and appreciated Wu Ming's rigor and pragmatism, but he couldn't understand Wu Ming's arrogance and conceit.

After listening to Chen Shizheng's analysis, Yu Jishi pondered for a long time and expressed his different opinions:
"I don't think there's anything wrong with Wu Ming's character. What's more, I deeply agree with his analysis of the friendly forces today. Let alone other things, I only said that the failure of the first three large-scale encirclement and suppression operations was precisely because of Hunan, Guangxi, and Jiangxi. , Fujian and other princes from all walks of life are selfish."

"To put it bluntly, isn't it common for the various divisions of our Central Army and our Whampoa lineage to plot against each other and tear each other down? Wu Ming's remarks today are not only nonsense, but a kind of Rarely candid. The reason why I still have concerns about Wu Ming is not because of his arrogance, but because I can't see through him... So, we have to continue to observe and gradually understand."

Chen Shi was deep in thought, Yu Jishi didn't bother him, picked up the teapot that was popping up, and brewed two cups of new tea.

When Chen Shi was picking up the teacup, Yu Jishi suddenly remembered something and reminded him, "Do you think Wu Ming's appearance is very similar to that of the second-stage junior brother Chen Bo'an who died in the battle?"

Chen Shizheng patted his forehead suddenly: "I almost forgot about it...I (Xuan Tiewu) and Rong An (Leng Xin) mentioned it twice before, after meeting, I felt that this Wu Ming really looked like Bo An Brother, by the way, before we set off, my brother also said that he planned to take this opportunity to visit Huanggu Town in the north of Shangrao City to visit the parents of Junior Brother Bo’an. If we take this opportunity to confirm it by the way, it will probably clear up the suspicion.”

Yu Jishi raised his teacup and nodded, "That's right, when the time comes, the two of us will take Wu Ming together to see his reaction."

Chen Shizheng clapped his hands and smiled, as if looking forward to it.

The next day's march became much easier. The Shangrao security forces brought two motorized transport ships and requisitioned nearly a hundred wooden boats, large and small. Three infantry regiments of the Zhejiang Army were able to board the boats and go down the river.

Equipped with 25 new-style large carriages and 48 pack horses, it was difficult for Wu Ming's troops to board the ship, so they had to continue marching on foot. Wu Ming didn't complain about this. The mileage of Shangrao is [-] kilometers, but it is easy to walk along the flat road built along the north bank of Xinjiang River.

Yu Jishi, who was the last to board the ship, and the other generals felt very strange when they saw Wu Ming leading the piebald horse in the middle of the team. Several school officers even ridiculed Wu Ming's actions.

Chief of Staff Ma Zhizhai didn't want Wu Ming to leave a bad impression on Yu Jishi, so when he approached Yu Jishi, he explained softly:
"Commander, Wu Ming's regiment usually trains like this. Due to the limited number of war horses, in order to ensure the safety of the march, except for the cavalry reconnaissance and security squad and the messengers who are in charge of security tasks, all officers and soldiers must walk on foot, even battalion-level officers. One of the most unique places in Wu Ming's department."

"The subordinate once asked the reason. Wu Ming said that unless necessary, everyone should use the limited horses where they are most needed. Officers should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers under their command, so that they can truly gain the respect of the officers and soldiers. Finally, there is This is the reason why he dare not say it out loud, the target is too obvious when riding on a tall horse, and he is also afraid of being sniped."

Yu Jishi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "This guy is interesting, interesting, haha!"

Zhang Yingnian, Yu Jishi's adjutant next to him, smiled disdainfully and said, "He has set the marching cordon so far away, so what are you afraid of?"

Ma Zhizhai said seriously: "Wu Ming is not timid, but cautious. You must know that he is a rare sharpshooter. He used a 200 rifle to shoot a humanoid target 1 meters away in a kneeling position, and shot ten rounds in one minute. Bullets can score above 85, so he is so careful."

"Ah!? How is this possible?"

Kong Wuxiong's Zhang Yingnian had an expression of disbelief, and Yu Jishi and others were also deeply shocked.

Ma Zhizhai solemnly explained: "Wu Ming's special agent company has a small team, all of which are composed of sharpshooters. There are only seven officers and soldiers. He calls it the sniper team. These seven officers and soldiers are all brought out by him. No less than [-] rounds of bullets were consumed, and the marksmanship of four of them has far surpassed that of Wu Ming."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhizhai looked at Wu Ming's headquarters on the shore, which was getting farther away from the original: "In the middle of January last year, before I was transferred to the province, I learned that the ammunition consumption of Wu Ming's headquarters far exceeded the regulations, so I sent Wu Ming Called for questioning, and only then did I learn about his extraordinary training program."

"Out of curiosity, Deputy Director Fang and I went to his field training ground to see what happened. Wu Ming called out the seven officers and soldiers of the spy company under his command, and they were shooting humanoid targets 300 meters away. The guns they used were their own. The German Mauser M1924 standard rifle that I bought, the worst score of ten bullets was 82, we were shocked at that time, and asked the seven officers and soldiers to fire another thirty bullets, and the result was still the same.”

"The purpose of Wu Ming's sniper team is to deal with important targets such as enemy commanders, gunners, and machine gunners on the battlefield. I guess this is also the main reason why he is worried that others will shoot him coldly. If you don't believe me, you can do it when you arrive in Shangrao. Find a chance to observe it, seeing is believing."

No one spoke now, Qi Qi looked at Yu Ji, wanting to hear his opinion.Yu Jishi nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind.
