Globe Trekker

Chapter 87 Dangerous
At noon on March 22, the new Fourth Regiment of the Second Security Division of Zhejiang Province arrived at Maopailing to take over the defense as scheduled. The fortifications, food that can last for ten days, 45 rounds of ammunition, [-] boxes of grenades, and six tents of their own are all left behind. The group is densely marked with the surrounding complex terrain.

The battalion and company commanders of the Fifth Regiment did not bid farewell to the villagers, but directly led their subordinates to gather at Dashaiping in the east of the village. After a brief report, they set off with the following team led by regiment leader Wu Ming to evacuate the village that had only been stationed for five days. Ancient mountain village.

However, hundreds of villagers who were alarmed still came to see them off, but they all stood in the distance and watched eagerly. Many villagers always felt that what they were sending off was the Red Army, but the military uniforms and hat badges on the officers and soldiers of the fifth regiment were all different. It was the white dog costume that the Red Army soldiers spurned. This reality made the villagers feel very complicated. In the end, no one came forward to see him off. They just watched from a distance without saying a word, until all the officers and soldiers of the five regiments disappeared At the bend of the mountain in the east, the villagers returned to their homes rather disappointed.

Wu Ming originally thought that when he returned to Nancheng, he could rest for two days before going south. Unexpectedly, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The first line of Gang entered the ambush circle of the Red Army, followed by the remnants of the 11th Division desperately stepped forward to make a rescue, but as soon as they left Dongpi, they were immediately besieged by reinforcements from five regiments of the Red Army.

Due to an intelligence error, the 14th and No.14 divisions, the main force of the second column under the personal command of Chen Cheng, had already attacked to the north of Guangchang City, and were stubbornly blocked by the five regiments of the Red Army; The division got rid of the entanglement of the Red Army, turned around and went north to rescue the No. 11 division trapped in Caotaigang, and urgently reported to Chiang Kai-shek for reinforcements.

The frightened Chiang Kai-shek immediately ordered the fifth and ninth divisions of the third column of the general reserve to abandon all supplies and rush to the front line of Caotaigang and Dongpi.

As soon as the order was issued, an urgent telegram from Tao Zhiyue, the commander of the 11th Division guarding Nanfeng, arrived immediately: the No. [-] Army, the main force of the Red Army, has surrounded Nanfeng, and all logistics transportation lines have been cut off. Please help from the committee!

At this time, the No. 70 Ninth Division had left Nanfeng and rushed to help the No. 11 Division in the west. Zhao Guanlan's Sixth Division was still guarding the Red Army in eastern Jiangxi and western Fujian at Huangshidu, north of Nancheng. Chiang Kai-shek, whose soldiers could be adjusted, lamented repeatedly, and had to call Yu Jishi, who was guarding Nancheng, asking him to lead his troops to go south immediately to relieve the siege of Nanfeng.

As soon as Wu Ming led his troops back to Nancheng, he received a notice: The troops are not allowed to stay and go south immediately!
Chen Shizheng, who came to pass the order, was quite interesting. He not only brought enough ammunition and dry food, but also allocated [-] oceans of supplementary military expenses to the fifth regiment at one time, and then dragged Wu Ming to the headquarters in the city.

After listening to Yu Jishi's introduction to the battle situation, Wu Ming was stunned for a long time, then suddenly walked to the large map and pointed at Nanfeng, and angrily questioned all the officers, including Yu Jishi and No. How many people are there in the Eighth Division?"

All the generals were very surprised, and a staff officer nearby replied subconsciously: "The Eighth Division has three brigades, with a total of [-] soldiers."

"Bullshit generals!"

Wu Ming's scolding shocked everyone, and he pointed to Nanfeng on the map and said loudly: "As far as I know, the Eighth Division has three brigades, and they are Xiang Chaozhong's 22nd Brigade. , Zeng Zhiyuan's 23rd Brigade, and Li Ying's 24th Brigade, these three brigades are not only full-strength main brigades, but also just finished refitting in October last year, and their weapons and equipment are almost the same as those of the main divisions of the Central Army. At this time, they were besieged by the No.11 Army of the Communist Army with only over [-] people. Who of you believes this nonsense? And..."

Wu Ming turned sideways and pointed to the line from Caotaigang to Dongpi on the map in the west: "Here, 59 brothers from the 59th Division were surrounded by Communist troops three times larger than our own in Caotaigang, and the reinforcements from the 5th Division were two This regiment was surrounded by five regiments of the Communist Army in this mountain nest south of Dongpi. After a rough calculation, there were no less than 5 Communist troops besieging the [-]th Division and the [-]th Division in this place. With the [-] Communists in Guangchang and the tens of thousands of Eastern Jiangxi Communists facing the sixth division of Chief Zhao Guanlan, the total number of Communists has exceeded [-]... Everyone, all the previous information shows that the Communists When the army is full, it is no more than [-] people at most, but now it has suddenly increased to [-], who would believe it?"

"and many more!"

The tall Wu Qiwei stopped Wu Ming who was about to come down: "Commander Wu, do you want to tell us that there are not so many enemies in Nanfeng, but bluffing?"

Wu Ming chuckled: "I didn't say the words that offend people! But we have dealt with the No.11 Army of the Communist Army before. The designation of this department was the Tenth Army of the Communist Army a month ago. It graduated from Yunnan Jiangwu Zhou Jianping of the Tang Dynasty was the commander of the army, and Tu Zhennong, who had been elected as the party secretary of Jiangxi Province, was the political commissar. He had three brigades with a maximum of more than 1000 people. Most of the officers and soldiers came from the counties of Shangrao in the northeast of Jiangxi. Changshan and Kaihua counties in western Zhejiang."

"A month ago, the Tenth Army quietly left more than 11 wounded and sick, slipped out of the encirclement circle set up by the twelve regiments in the two provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and transformed into the No. 500 Army of the Communist Army when they arrived in the east of Jiangxi. In its heyday, the total army strength was about 500. After more than a month of long-distance trekking and constant fighting, how many people can they have? At the top of the list, he has 5000 people, and I dare say that three out of [-] people One doesn't even have a rifle!"

"It is such a unit that surrounded and beat an elite division of our army with three brigades of more than 2000 people and an artillery battalion, and even beat the division so that it screamed for reinforcements, do you believe it? Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he strode down the steps, stood behind Yu Jishi, took out a cigarette, and took out a beautiful American lighter to light up as if no one else was there.

A group of generals looked at each other with embarrassing expressions. Although some people were annoyed by Wu Ming's rudeness, the generals including Yu Jishi and Wu Qiwei attached great importance to Wu Ming's analysis, and quickly gathered together to discuss and make a decision. A correct judgment:

The main force of the communist army will not be in Guangchang and Nanfeng, but in Caotaigang and Dongpo, more than 30 kilometers west of Guangchang and Nanfeng. The reason why the communist army created a situation where wars are everywhere is to facilitate them Concentrate superior forces and annihilate the No.11 Division and the Ninth Division in the shortest possible time. All other directions are harassing feints, and there is no danger!

Having made a clear judgment, Wu Qiwei and Yu Jishi immediately jointly called Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng in the front, and made changes to the plan to support Nanfeng. The original plan to send three regiments to the south to support was changed to only sending one regiment to escort the ammunition It is enough to ensure that the transportation line north of Nanfeng is unimpeded. This glorious but arduous task naturally falls to Wu Ming, who has impressed many people and angered many people.

Wu Ming was completely speechless. The reason why he suddenly lost his temper was entirely because he wanted to take the opportunity to escape from going south to head-to-head with the main force of the Red Army. The brothers who had been nervous for a while also needed a good rest. Put yourself in, you will lose a lot!
However, Wu Ming is Wu Ming, and it is by no means what ordinary people can fathom. Facing Yu Jishi's serious order, and facing the smiling faces of Wu Qiwei and a group of generals, Wu Ming stood upright and shouted a surprisingly bold statement: "Follow orders! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

The generals were full of praise for Wu Ming's brave shoulders, and Yu Jishi also felt that Wu Ming had added honor to his face, so he kindly went up and took Wu Ming's arm, walked aside and asked with concern: "Is there anything else that needs to be added? "

Wu Ming thought for a while: "Chief of Staff Chen, who should be supplemented, has been prepared in advance. Considering that we are going to take the main road and the terrain is relatively open, if we can equip two heavy machine guns, it will be more reassuring."

"Okay! You go back and get ready to mobilize. I will send someone to send you two American Browning heavy machine guns immediately." Yu Jishi agreed very generously.

"Thank you seat!"

Wu Ming saluted politely, turned around on the spot and walked away without even looking at the generals.

Standing beside Yu Jishi, Wu Qiwei shook his head again and again: "This general under your command has character!"

Yu Jishi smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, he and you are still in the same family."

Wu Qiwei was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and asked humorously after laughing: "Tuan Zhang has sharp eyesight and is more proficient in calculations. I don't know when he is a high-achieving student in Whampoa?"

Yu Jishi replied embarrassingly: "Ye Luzi was born, but he is very studious and naturally intelligent. I wonder if Brother Qingyun (Wu Qiwei's word) has heard of the Zhejiang Army Teaching Team?"

Wu Qiwei immediately remembered: "Remember, he is the one who wrote two well-received basic military training textbooks, invented a new method of rapid construction of fortifications, and was praised many times by "Central Daily" and "Minguo Daily" Can you teach Captain Wu Ming?"

"it's him."

Yu Jishi gave up his unconcealable pride in his smile.

Wu Qiwei nodded again and again: "Sure enough, you are a worthy man under the reputation! You are blessed to have such a wise and brave subordinate!"

"Haha! Brother Qingyun has won the prize. Wu Ming has a good foundation, but he hasn't fought a big battle yet. It's a good thing to let him go out to exercise." Yu Jishi smiled modestly.

Wu Qiwei was quickly called away, and Chen Shizheng immediately went to Yu Jishi's side: "Do you think Wu Ming is greedy? Every time it seems that he obeys orders readily, but every time he wants to take advantage of it, Didn’t he say that the southern Jiangxi area is not suitable for using heavy machine guns, so he sent back all the heavy machine guns in his department? Well, now that they are needed again, why is this person so philistine?”

Yu Jishi couldn't help being happy: "It's just two heavy machine guns. I guess they were poor and scared before, or their childlike innocence is still young. Let him go, as long as he can complete the task well, haha!"

Yu Jishi's good mood lasted only five hours before he was shattered by the sudden bad news. In a hurry, he quickly gathered troops to reinforce Mao Pailing who sent the distress telegram, and asked Wu Qiwei to send a regiment to help.

At this moment, Wu Ming had already led the fifth regiment to escort a large number of luggage to the south. It was already [-] kilometers away from Nancheng and [-] kilometers away from the destination Nanfeng City.

Wu Ming, who suddenly received an emergency transfer order from Yu Jishi, never expected that less than a day after he led his troops to leave the safe Mao Pailing, the three regiments of the Red Army who had already evacuated quickly turned around and fought back to Mao Pailing, and through telegram analysis, I just arrived in Mao Pailing and didn't sit on the hot new fourth group, I'm afraid it's over!
