    Zhejiang has eight famous rivers: Qiantang River, Oujiang River, Jiaojiang River, Yongjiang River, Tiaoxi River, Yunhe River, Feiyunjiang River, and Aojiang River. It lies in the four major lakes of Dongqian Lake, West Lake, Jianhu Lake, and Nanhu Lake, and is densely covered with Hangjiahu, Yaoci, and Shaojiang.  The five plain river networks of Yu, Wenrui and Taizhou can be described as a country of rivers and lakes.  Although the western Zhejiang region has high mountains and dense forests, there are still many rivers. Taking the area around Maoliangwu as an example, there is Fangcun Creek leading to Qujiang, a tributary of Qiantang River, in the south, and Qilixiang Creek also leading to Qujiang below Xitai Mountain in the east.  To the north is Fenglin Port leading to Xin'an River.  Carefully selected soldiers from the New Second Division, the New Third Division, and the Guard Regiment will board the ship at Fenglin Port, arrive at Chun'an, and then go upstream to Huizhou in southern Anhui to join the New Fourth Army.  At seven o'clock in the morning, in the Fenghuang Mountain Camp shrouded in morning fog, 1,500 officers and soldiers selected from the entire army were nervously making final preparations for the expedition. At this time, Long Shaogang came with orders from the military headquarters.  The soldiers who represented Wu Ming on the expedition were sent off to see off.  The three troops quickly merged into one on the campus. Although the team of 1,500 people was not large in size, it was still dark when I looked over. The resolute faces were looking at the rostrum. Long Shaogang came.  He walked to the microphone and said loudly to the officers and soldiers in the audience: "Brothers, the military commander did not come to see you off in person today. It's not that he didn't want to come, but that he wanted to see you returning victoriously from the expedition. In his heart,  Each of you is his brother and his relative. He told me that when you come back, he will hold a reception banquet and toast to each brother personally. "The eyes of the officers and soldiers were a little wet, and one person in the team had tears in his eyes.  He was the first to applaud, and the others suddenly woke up, and the applause spread quickly.  Long Shaogang pressed his hands, and after the applause stopped, he continued: "The military commander specifically asked me to make two requests to the brothers who are on the expedition: First, if you go deep into the battlefield behind enemy lines, you will be in danger all the time, so you must be more vigilant.  Protect yourself. Your family, like the military, is waiting for you to come back. Safety must not be taken for granted at any time. You must consider the many difficulties before marching and fight, and learn more from the New Fourth Army officers and soldiers. After all, they are  Having fought guerrillas for three full years under extremely difficult conditions, not everyone has this persistence and perseverance. " "Second, you must abide by military regulations and disciplines, and you must not take advantage of fellow villagers, let alone commit crimes.  You are bringing shame on our New Second Army. Although you are fighting in occupied areas, the people there are innocent and they are still our relatives. Please be sure to tell the local fellows that our New Second Army will definitely fight back.  The enemy¡¯s blood debt must be paid with blood.¡± ¡°Blood debt must be paid with blood.¡± One officer and soldier shouted loudly, and then 1,500 officers and soldiers shouted in unison: ¡°Blood debt must be paid with blood.¡± The sound spread far into the distance, startling the birds in the nearby mountains to flutter.  Fly into the sky with wings.  "Then the troops left the Fenghuang Mountain Camp and walked along Shishandi, Hengshan, Songjiabu and other villages. They arrived at Fenglin Port at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and boarded the boat at the ferry.  A specially customized fifty-ton flat-bottomed sand boat was crammed with one hundred and fifty people, plus the weapons and equipment they carried with them, and it was so full that there was no space left.  Fortunately, the diesel engine has good power, and it is not difficult to sail down the river.  As the fleet went away, Wu Ming walked out of the dense forest on the side of the ferry.  Luo Yuming and others were quite surprised when they saw Wu Ming: "Military seat, why are you here?" "I'm still worried." Wu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly.  Originally, Wu Ming was from Maple Ridge to Songjiabu in the south of Fenglin Port, inspecting the fortifications built on Bamiao Mountain, Tuoling and Aotou Ridge. However, when he arrived at the end of the field, Wu Ming came to the soldiers by mistake.  place.  Looking at the departing officers and soldiers, Wu Ming felt quite emotional: The battlefield behind enemy lines is far more difficult than imagined. You only need to look at the photos of the New Fourth Army officers and soldiers who looked like savages when they came out of the mountain sent by the intelligence department to know how cruel it is.  After gathering his mood, Wu Ming pulled Long Shaogang and others and walked towards the nearby woods, where the war horses were already prepared. The generals got on their horses and headed south along the simple road beside the stream.  In order to ensure the absolute safety of the hinterland of Qianligang with Maoliangwu as the center, Wu Ming mobilized engineers to build fortifications based on the mountains on both sides of several streams south of Fenglin Port.  Arriving at Songjiabu, Wu Ming got off his horse and picked up his binoculars to carefully search for signs of permanent fortifications.  "Military seat, I saw it, there -" Lu Kuiyuan pointed to a hidden bunker between the rocks on the mountainside on both sides of the stream, and then carefully observed the surrounding situation with a telescope. The color of the bunker was very similar to the nearby rocks, and he suddenly understood  , no one can notice.  Luo Yuming turned the telescope, looked at the other side of the canyon, and said with surprise: "Military seat, there is also a bunker over there." "I saw it too It was built very concealed. If you are not careful, you really can't find it." Yang Sixian  Said with a smile.  "Let's go up and have a look," Wu Ming suggested.    "Yes" Wu Ming and his party were escorted by the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment, climbed up the stairs, and soon arrived at the trench below the bunker that Lu Kuiyuan pointed out earlier.  "Military seat, are there trenches over there?" Lu Kuiyuan stood on the trench and pointed to the mountainside on the opposite side of the canyon.  Luo Yuming and Yang Si first looked in the direction pointed by Lu Kuiyuan, and saw a long and narrow trench extending into the distance along the rolling mountains. Looking at it, they saw that there were many bunkers and strongholds hidden in the undulating mountains.  "These bunkers and strongholds are usually only garrisoned by a small number of people and are very well concealed. Once the Japanese army moves upstream from the Xinan River and invades from Chun'an and Sui'an, with these bunkers and strongholds, we will not be afraid of the Japanese taking our retreat.  Of course, the most important fortification group is still on both sides of Fangcun River. After all, it is the area closest to the plains and has mature road transportation. Only there is suitable for large corps to fight. It is most suitable for partial divisions." Wu Ming clapped his hands and said:  "Let's go ahead and take a look." After walking for a while, everyone went up to the bunker above. Two militia officers and soldiers on duty respectfully greeted Wu Mingjing, "Military seat, the bunkers on both sides of the canyon only need to be equipped with one heavy machine gun each.  The entire canyon can be blocked. It will be too difficult for the Japanese army to rush in alive. "Through the lookout of the bunker, Yang Si first pointed to the trenches halfway up the mountain, and then said: "The trenches are built in distinct layers, connected to the bunkers and permanent fortifications by communication trenches.  , the officers and soldiers can carry out counterattacks against the Japanese troops through the trenches at any time, and a few submachine guns can destroy the Japanese who can't use them." "You haven't said enough." Long Shaogang is familiar with the fortifications in this mountainous area and said with a smile: "  There are also concealed fortifications specially built for artillery on the reverse slope. The scales of every part of the canyon have been carefully measured. It is possible to carry out precise strikes against the invading Japanese troops without aiming at all." People who do not have long-term concerns must have short-term worries. Since the beginning of the year, both sides of Fangcun River have  After the initial completion of the defense system, Wu Ming made necessary repairs to some safety hazards in the north and east of Qianligang Mountain. The Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce recruited some miners to cooperate with the engineers of the New Second Army and the Maoliangwu militia in these canyons.  The throat is on the ground, and the fortification group is built using blasting and excavation according to the terrain.  Wu Ming led everyone out of the bunker, came to the top of the bunker, looked down at the mountains, and said with emotion: "The fierce fighting in Xuzhou is in full swing. Once Xuzhou falls, Wuhan will be in danger. As long as Wuhan falls, the Japanese army will definitely attack central Zhejiang and other areas."  We launched an offensive in the western Zhejiang area in an attempt to open up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. Of course, the most important thing is to eliminate our New Second Army. There is an old saying that a big tree attracts wind. While we have made great military achievements, we have also offended the Japanese.  Launching offensives in Quzhou, Changshan and other places, the Qianligang Mountains with Maoliangwu as the center will also become a fierce battlefield. I estimate that this time will be about a year, or even shorter. "I am not afraid to tell you, the Japanese opened fire for me."  The amount of the reward has exceeded Chairman Chiang¡¯s and now my head is very valuable haha It¡¯s obvious how much the Japanese hate me.¡± ¡°Military Seat¡± A shout came from the distance. Wu Ming raised his head and saw the mountains on the right.  A group of people walked out, and one of them waved hard to Wu Ming. Lu Kuiyuan had sharp eyes, glanced at it and said: "The military seat, that is my third uncle." The third boss, Li Kun, is now the chief executive of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, and has always been closely related to officialdom.  Being in contact with business people, he has already developed a noble aura. In the rapid pace, the fat on Li Kun's girdle shook, and he was panting heavily. Wu Ming quickly jumped off the top of the bunker and led the people to greet him.  Someone nearby helped Li Kun, who was unsteady on his feet, and asked: "Third Master, why are you so anxious to see me?  " Li Kun wiped the sweat from his head, calmed down and then said: "Commander Wu, I'm afraid the artillery position can't be repaired. The artillery position is the center of this section of the defense system, and there is also an anti-aircraft anti-aircraft position. Now I heard  There was a problem with the artillery position. Wu Ming asked anxiously: "What's wrong? We're short of people or materials?" "Originally, we had ordered materials from merchants in Yushan County, but the day before yesterday they suddenly informed us that they could no longer place orders.  Materials such as steel bars and cement were sold to us," Li Kun replied.  "We are very familiar with the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce. This merchant is so dishonest, so we can just find another one," Wu Ming said nonchalantly.  ¡°We went to three merchants in a row, but none of them dared to sell us anything.¡± Li Kun shook his head angrily.  "Hey, aren't we having a great time cooperating with the Gandong Chamber of Commerce? Why did they suddenly fall out?" Lu Kuiyuan was also a little curious.  ¡°They were pressured by the upper management and had no choice but to do so,¡± Li Kun sighed.  ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Wu Ming frowned.  Li Kun snorted coldly: "The Jiangxi Provincial Government has ordered that for the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, all transactions in bulk items from now on must be reported for approval. We, the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce, are in contact with that party.""The transaction has not been approved by the Shangrao Administrative Office, so the transaction can only be cancelled."
