    East Lake, Wuchang, study room of the Chairman's official residence.  Chiang Kai-shek handed the reviewed documents to Lin Wei, the first director of the Attendant's Office and director of the Military Commission's Quanxu Department, and casually asked: "Weizhi, is that boy Wu Ming still at peace these days?" "These past few months  Apart from sending partial divisions deep into the Japanese-occupied areas to carry out guerrilla operations, the Second Army's main forces stranded in western Zhejiang are seizing the time to train. During this time, the Phoenix Mountain Base is conducting large-scale military exercises, and there is nothing else worthy of attention."  Lin Wei answered very measuredly, thought for a while and then said: "Commissioner, if you want to know what Wu Ming is doing, you can listen to Phoenix Radio's program. That guy is very public, and he advertises everything big or small.  After all, I wish everyone in the world knew about it." "Okay, you go and do your work first." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and waved Lin Wei off.  After Lin Wei left, Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to call Qian Dajun, who had been transferred to the National Government Aviation Commission. After the Spring Festival, because Qian Dajun made huge profits from reselling the cultural relics in the Forbidden City during the transfer, and because of his corruption, he offended  There were so many people that Chiang Kai-shek had to transfer him out of the attendant's room.  However, due to Soong Meiling's support, Qian Dajun found a lucrative position in the Aviation Commission and served as secretary-general, chief of staff and other positions.  During the Battle of Xuzhou, the Aviation Committee of the National Government was reorganized, and Qian Dajun took over as the director of the Aviation Committee, specifically commanding the war against Japan.  However, because Qian Dajun had been the first director of the Attendant's Office for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek still trusted him despite his personal ethics, so he stayed with him as a staff officer.  When Qian Dajun walked into the study, without giving him a chance to speak, Chiang Kai-shek motioned to the guard to turn on the radio and adjust the frequency to Phoenix Radio Station.  The sad voice of the female announcer came from the radio: "Friends listening in front of the radio, fellow compatriots, based on the news we have received in the past few days, we can confirm that the Huayuankou of the Yellow River has indeed been dug by the Japanese army, and the water of the Yellow River flows downstream.  Tens of millions of people were displaced wherever they went, and countless people died in this man-made disaster. " "Here, General Wu Ming, commander of the New Second Army, issued a statement: The people are innocent, they are innocent.  Our parents, who are the basic necessities of life, are also the ones that the New Second Army fights to protect. Whoever harms our basic necessities and kills innocent people is the enemy of all the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army. "General Wu Ming has ordered the Army Logistics Department to prepare.  A batch of supplies, including food, medicines and quilts, were transferred to the Yellow River area via waterways and land routes to rescue innocent people. General Wu Ming hopes that the people in the disaster area can safely survive this natural and man-made disaster." As soon as he finished speaking  , and then changed to a passionate male voice: "The War of Resistance Against Japan has entered its second year. The Japanese devils' wild talk of destroying China in three months has become an international laughing stock. Now every citizen is doing their best to fight against the Japanese devils.  This is especially true for the military. The military exercise that has lasted for more than half a month in the Fenghuang Mountain area in the hinterland of Qianligang is in full swing. During this exercise, every officer and soldier put everything they have learned into full play and took it seriously.  Strive to achieve good results in the exercise. "We at Phoenix Radio were very lucky to receive a letter from an ordinary officer and soldier of the New Second Army. In this letter, the officer said that the New Second Army is a heroic and unyielding collective.  He was born in Orion, West Suichang. He joined the Maoliangwu Militia in April last year and received basic military skills training. He officially joined the army after the Spring Festival this year and learned many combat skills. Now he is participating in military exercises. He was originally full of confidence.  "Now, this officer and soldier knows that the New Second Army relies on strict training, strong will, unyielding fighting spirit, and strong physique to defeat the Japanese Japanese on the battlefield again and again.  The soldier told the officers and soldiers who joined him in the New Second Army that the more you sweat on the training ground, the less blood will be shed on the battlefield" Chiang Kai-shek stretched out his hand to turn off the radio, turned his head to look at Qian Dajun, holding his forehead in thought, and asked in a deep voice  : "Mu Yin, you know that I had no choice but to send people to blow up Huayuankou and dig up the Yellow River embankment. What do you think Wu Ming's statement on Phoenix Radio meant?" "Wu Ming is acting like a brat.  He is always unexpected, and his thinking is not something that ordinary people can figure out." Qian Dajun half-squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: "However, although Wu Ming is arrogant and domineering, he has to admit that he is a good fighter and he is sincere.  He wanted to resist Japan and go all out every time he participated in the war. This time in the broadcast, he blamed the Japanese army for the digging of the Yellow River embankment. I think it was also to take into account the overall situation." "That's good." Chiang Kai-shek looked a little embarrassed.  Although the New Second Army suffered heavy losses after a series of battles, after the recruitment of soldiers and this large-scale training, Wu Ming's ability should be able to quickly restore combat effectiveness.  The Central News Agency Radio has resumed broadcasting in Wuhan, but the influence of Phoenix Radio is still extremely huge. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to ignore Wu Ming's views.  &nbsp"Commissioner, with the end of the battles of Xuzhou and Lanfeng, our troops have moved rapidly on the Central Plains battlefield. The Japanese army, which is eager to expand its results, will definitely not give up." Qian Dajun led Chiang Kai-shek to the map and continued: "Now the Japanese army is about  A division has captured the Anqing area, and the main forces are also rapidly gathering. According to the information sent back by the intelligence department from Nanjing, Shanghai and other places, the Japanese Central China Front Army will soon attack Wuhan." Wuhan is located in the Jianghan Plain.  The intersection point of Han and Guangdong-Han railways.  After some institutions of the Nationalist Government moved from Nanjing to Wuhan, the place actually became the center of China's military, political, and economic affairs, and its strategic position was very important.  The Japanese army wanted to force the Nationalist Government to surrender, so Wuhan became the first place for the Japanese army to attack.  "Yes, Wuhan is in danger now." Chiang Kai-shek nodded and said with deep regret: "If Wu Ming can lead the New Second Army to launch a resolute and decisive attack on the Japanese-occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will surely distract the Japanese army and greatly reduce the pressure on Wuhan.  "Pressure" "Do you want to give Wu Ming an order?" Qian Dajun suggested tentatively.  "Do you think that boy Wu Ming will obey the order?" Chiang Kai-shek asked back.  "Wu Ming sincerely resisted the war. Moreover, during the Battle of Xuzhou, the troops of the New Second Army that penetrated into the Japanese-occupied areas had already attacked the Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo and other railway lines, delaying the material transportation of the Japanese Central China Front. I believe that as long as Lin is allowed  Wei, Chen Cheng and other generals who were close to him persuaded him that the New Second Army would definitely take action in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui." Qian Dajun pointed to the map and continued his analysis: "As long as the New Second Army can conquer one or two big cities.  Cities, such as Hangzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and other places, will inevitably create huge momentum, and the pressure on Wuhan will also be reduced. "Well, you can write and issue orders to the New Second Army in the name of the Military Commission." Chiang Kai-shek approved Qian Da  Jun's statement.  When Wu Ming received the telegram from the Military Commission, friends in the army such as Chen Cheng, Yu Jishi, Zhou Zhirou and others sent urgent telegrams one after another, hoping that Wu Ming would lead the New Second Army to attack some big cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to attract the attention of the Japanese army.  , to reduce the pressure on Wuhan.  Wu Ming circulated the telegram from the General Committee to his generals. After everyone read it one after another, Wu Ming asked: "The Battle of Xuzhou is over, and the national army retreated in a timely manner. At the same time, due to the breach of the Huayuankou embankment, the Japanese 14th Division and 16th Division  The division and other units were trapped in the vast territory and lost their foothold in advance and retreat. The Japanese army's hope of encircling and annihilating the main force of our army was thus shattered. "However, the Japanese army's strategic purpose of forcing the Nationalist Government to surrender will not be easily changed. Various situations reported from the Intelligence Section can be obtained.  We came to the conclusion that the Japanese army is preparing for a larger-scale battle in Wuhan Let's talk about it, should we obey the order and attack the Japanese-occupied areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? " "Military seat, although our army's military training has come to an end for the time being, but  A series of problems were exposed during the exercise, such as problems with the reasonable use of tactics by our officers and soldiers, and officers at all levels also have deficiencies in command and preparation, and they are not qualified to undertake offensive tasks until they are corrected." Long Shaogang was the first to state  own attitude.  "Deputy Commander Long is right Our arsenal is at full production, but there are still many problems in the supply of weapons, equipment and ammunition. Although the entire army has weapons in place, training has consumed a lot of money some time ago, and most of the troops are insufficient.  A base amount of ammunition. Besides, there will be big problems in the transportation of our army¡¯s weapons and materials after the attack, such as large-caliber heavy artillery." Zhang Dongning refused without hesitation.  Dai Ziran, Zhang Ying and others expressed their opinions one after another, expressing their disagreement either explicitly or implicitly.  After everyone finished speaking, Wu Ming smiled reassuringly: "Very good, I already know your opinions. But I want to tell you that not only are we going to attack, but we are also going to make a big fuss." The generals were dumbfounded for a while and looked at each other.  "Everyone, look at the map." Wu Ming strode to the large map of Jiangnan and said: "Quzhou is located at the junction of the four provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Fujian. Our New Second Army can attack Hangzhou, Jiaxing and other places eastward, and march westward through northern Jiangxi.  It can threaten the Yangtze River channel that supplies the Japanese army to the Wuhan front line, and can cut off the Japanese army's Beijing-Shanghai railway supply line in such an important location. The Japanese army is well aware of the huge threat of our New Second Army. You might as well think about it, the Japanese will be merciful.  Will you let us go?" "But we can't really obey Chiang Kai-shek's orders If the little devils don't attack Wuhan, but instead attack us, won't it be troublesome?" Dai Ziran said hesitantly.  "Wuhan is the current political, economic, military and cultural center of the country. In order to force the Nationalist Government to surrender, the Japanese government and army will inevitably list Wuhan as the first target. Only after Wuhan is captured, our Quzhou and Nanchang to the west can  It will become the next target of the Japanese army." Wu Ming pointed to the map and said: "So, we must consume as much Japanese troops and ammunition as possible during the Wuhan battle, so that we can better defend in the future." "But, we must  ?It will be very difficult for us to attack the big cities with heavy troops stationed in the Japanese-occupied areas. In the Battle of Xuzhou, there were many cases where the national army attacked the city with superior force, but ended up being defeated and fled in disgrace." Zhang Ying looked embarrassed.  "Who said we would attack the big cities in the Japanese-occupied areas?  Wu Ming shook his head and smiled: "The Battle of Xuzhou lasted for nearly five months, and I believe the Battle of Wuhan lasted about the same time. As long as our New Second Army carried out a series of raids on the counties in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui during the battle,  Combat can effectively support the frontal battlefield and also greatly consume the enemy's troops used for frontal attacks.  " After hearing Wu Ming's explanation, the generals suddenly understood and nodded one after another. To put it bluntly, the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. Wu Ming wants to be this fisherman. When the fight between the two sides becomes fierce, the new second army will disperse.  Attack, seize the Japanese army's strongholds along the railways and highways, plunder the Japanese army's supplies, establish solid bases and guerrilla areas, and organize the common people to fight against the Japanese devils.
