Chapter 74

"Ugh--"

Wu Ming sighed, took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "Well, if you want, you can enter the next Quzhou training class of the Central Party Headquarters, report before the end of April, start school on May [-]st, learning radio or party affairs management Yes, I am still serving as a military instructor of the training class, I just need to say hello to the Nanjing side, and it should be no problem to directly call you to study, and then think about the next step, let’s get rid of the current predicament first.”

Wang Yuehan nodded frequently, pinching the handkerchief and staring blankly at the blue-faced Wu Ming, trembling slightly with gratitude, unable to control herself for a while.

Wu Ming continued: "In addition, you have to tell your superiors the truth this time, saying that I am also in difficulty now. If I want to buy medicines, I must pay off all the money I owed before, otherwise I will no longer have any relationship with them." Any contact, and I will also cancel the supply of all imported western medicines in the border areas of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and only guarantee the minimum usage of the two western hospitals in Quzhou and Shangrao, and the hospitals will no longer accept any foreign prescriptions."

Wang Yuehan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wu Ming's gesture: "If your superior still wants to use you to find out the military secrets of Northeast Jiangxi, I advise you to give up immediately... People from the Investigation Section of the Central Party Headquarters have already entered the camp in Shangrao, your uncle Also unable to attend the final military council."

"Now I can reveal some inside information to you. We have already grasped the situation that the main force of the Tenth Army led by Mao Zedong and Zhou Jianping sneaked into eastern Jiangxi and northern Fujian. 800 people may be wiped out at any time, and it is estimated that within five days, more than half of the nine regiments stationed in Shangrao will split up and go south to the eastern Jiangxi battlefield."

"Finally, tell your superiors the truth. Not only do I know the specific situation of the two left-behind Red Army regiments in Northeast Jiangxi, but I also know the locations of the two secret intelligence stations you stationed in Quzhou... One of these two intelligence stations is in the grocery store at the West Wharf. Here, the one in Chengbei Avenue Elementary School, those who are disguised as businessmen and teachers will be in a very dangerous situation if they don’t evacuate, I guess your superiors won’t embarrass you after receiving the news.”

Wang Yuehan opened her eyes wide and looked at Wu Ming in disbelief. When she saw Wu Ming standing up slowly and nodding outwards, she turned around suddenly in fright, only then did she realize that the smiling third wife had come to her side.

The third aunt did not notice Wang Yuehan's abnormality, so she gently supported Wang Yuehan's shoulders, preventing her from standing up, then sat next to Wang Yuehan, and looked at Wu Ming with a smile:

"Just now, that Chief Chen of yours half-jokingly and half-seriously asked if you were a relative of the Chen family? Master and Commissioner Wang covered it up."

Wu Ming was very helpless: "I can't blame Mr. Chen for this matter. My appearance is really troublesome. As long as you search carefully, you can find it out with little effort... Fortunately, we are an army, so we won't get too entangled in these trivial matters. If the truth is found out one day, I have nothing to worry about."

The third aunt nodded too gently: "Actually, if it is found out, it will only benefit you and not harm you. We just respect your opinion, alas! Let's not talk about this. Chen Yi wrote that you care about her very much and often ask her to The military officer in Hangzhou gave her a gift, and I really don’t know how to thank you.”

"You don't need to thank me, let her thank her brother Dai Ziran." Wu Ming smiled.

The third aunt immediately understood and shook her head: "So, the dead girl has been hiding it from me? Are they really in love?"

Wu Ming smiled: "This is normal. He is talented and beautiful. Dai Ziran is an excellent person with good moral character, strong ability, and a good family background. Besides, Chen Yi still has four years to graduate. Ran promised her to strongly support her from studying medicine to graduation, and it will not affect her studies."

Wang Yuehan, who had calmed down, smiled and comforted her: "Dai Ziran is handsome and well-educated. Our Chen Yi has good eyesight. Just don't worry, San Niang."

The third aunt was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "Of course I don't worry, with her brother taking care of me, what am I worried about? Right? Third young master!"

Wu Ming had a good impression of Chen Yi, and hoped that Dai Ziran, his powerful arm, could achieve good things with Chen Yi. This would only be good for him and not bad, so he didn't feel unhappy about the slightly abrupt words of the third aunt , but said some reassuring words:

"Chen Yi and the others have seventeen girls in this class. The head teacher is a very strict nanny who lives in an independent girls' dormitory building. There is only one chance to ask for leave every week, and the holiday can only be from noon to late on Sunday. During the period of six o'clock, there is no need to worry too much at home."

The third aunt nodded repeatedly, and after a short conversation with each other, she was interrupted by the butler Chen who came in a hurry: "Sir, people from the city said that there is something urgent, and Mr. Yu and the others are ready to leave."

Wu Ming immediately took his leave and left, guessing what kind of emergency happened while walking.

The convoy left Huanggu Town and returned to Shangrao in a hurry. After entering the city, they went straight to the joint headquarters near Zhongshan Park. Wang Daohan, who didn't know what happened, asked Wu Ming, who was also unaware, many times along the way, with a very worried look on his face.

It wasn't until the hastily held enlarged military and political meeting that everyone knew that the Jiangxi encirclement and suppression campaign commanded by Generalissimo Jiang had failed, and Wang Daohan secretly vented his anger amidst the heated discussions. He also wanted to find Wu Ming to ask about the situation. When Wu Ming was following Yu Ji and the others left in a hurry, he had no choice but to keep the words in his heart for the time being.

At nightfall, Wu Ming, who had held two important meetings in a row, returned to the military camp in the north of the city. The officers of the battalion and company under his command were still discussing the internal battle report issued today. Seeing that Wu Ming's expression was not right when he came in silently, he quickly stood up and saluted.

Wu Ming walked to the main seat in the middle, made a gesture of please sit down, and conveyed to everyone the decision Yu Jishi made at the meeting: "Our main battlefield in the south of the encirclement and suppression has failed again. The situation is very serious. Take over the commander-in-chief. The ministry ordered that our Zhejiang security forces must rush to Nancheng within a week to serve as a reserve for the central column.”

"How could this be?"

Dai Ziran, the staff officer of the regiment, asked the thoughts of all the brothers.

Wu Ming sat down slowly: "The Tenth Army of the Northeast Jiangxi Red Army, which we are encircling and suppressing with all our strength, has quietly broken through in half a month. Crossing the Fuhe River, the General Headquarters of our army's suppression mistakenly believed that the main force of the Red Army had turned to the Lichuan area, and immediately ordered the middle column to advance to Guangchang and Lijin. Among them, the third column left Lichuan from Jinxi, and the first column from Le'an and Yihuang. Out of Guangchang and Ningdu, the second column left Kangdu from Nancheng and Nanfeng in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Red Army in the Lichuan and Jianning areas, and then occupy Guangchang."

"Due to the successful deception of the Red Army, the distance between our first column and the second and third columns became farther and farther. The mountains and forests on both sides of the advancing road were dense. The 52nd and [-]th divisions of our vanguard troops didn't know it, and they still marched from Le'an to Huangpi. The division was completely annihilated, division commander Li Ming was captured, the Ninth Division was wiped out except for one regiment who risked his life to break through and escape, and division commander Chen Shiji and other seventeen generals and schools all escaped."

Everyone was very shocked by this result. Wu Ming, who knew it well, was also very surprised when he heard the news, and felt that the whole process was so incredible.

After discussing for a while, Dai Ziran asked worriedly: "How can there be more than a dozen divisions in the main battlefield in the south? Do we have to use our local troops?"

Wu Ming replied calmly: "After the news spread that the 52nd and 59th divisions had been wiped out, the four divisions of the Guangdong Army on the southern front of Yu Hanmou and the two divisions of the Cai Tingkai Nineteenth Route Army on the eastern front all retreated as a whole. Not much, not to mention anything else, without two main divisions, the entire encirclement is useless."

"At the enlarged meeting in the afternoon, the Special Commissioner of the Suppression General Assembly read out the dispatch order of Chairman Jiang. After bargaining, the ministers decided that the five regiments of the Jiangxi Security Force, which are located on the front line of the Northeast battlefield in Jiangxi Province, will continue to stay and fight, and the troops will be divided into three groups Enter the area with a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Huaiyu Mountain, and launch a search and attack on the places where the weak Red Army is entrenched, and our Zhejiang security forces need to rush to the main battlefield in the south under the leadership of General Yu Jishi."

"General Yu clearly asked our troops to quickly transfer the first battalion stationed in Changshan, and they must arrive in Shangrao within 48 hours."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and quickly and heatedly discussed, it seemed that they were full of anticipation for the upcoming death in battle.
