    On May 26, the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Nanchang City.  The Nanchang defenders were thin in strength and had weak firepower. After fierce street fighting, they suffered heavy casualties and were ordered to evacuate to the Jinxian front line.  In just one day, the Japanese 101st Division completely occupied Nanchang.  As the starting point of the western section of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway fell into the hands of the Japanese army, the Japanese troops on the front lines of Hangzhou, Lin'an, and Xiaoshan began to prepare for action, and the national troops guarding the rerouted route also began to mobilize.  May 29th, Shangrao, an important town in eastern Jiangxi.  The conference room of the third theater headquarters was filled with stars.  Gu Zhutong looked anxious. He did not listen carefully to the battle plan explained by Major General Huang Baitao, chief of staff of the theater, who was standing in front of a large map of Zhejiang. Instead, he kept looking towards the door. Many generals present looked at the vacant seats in the first row, thinking the same thing.  The ground deserted.  Even so, Huang Baitao is not dissatisfied at all, because there is still a very important person missing in the conference room - Wu Ming, commander of the New Second Army.  In the battle plan for the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle formulated by the theater commander's headquarters, the New Second Army commanded by Wu Ming became the most important link. If he did not come to Shangrao for the meeting, it would mean that the New Second Army would not be in place, and the implementation of the plan could not be guaranteed.  After explaining the plan one by one, Huang Baitao put down his baton and came to Gu Zhutong to ask for instructions: "Commander, please give me instructions." "Ah¡ª¡ª" Gu Zhutong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had lost his composure.  He coughed lightly and took over Huang Baitao's words: "Do you have any suggestions for the plan formulated by the theater commander's headquarters" "Report" The loud voice of the duty officer came from the door, interrupting Gu Zhutong's words.  Speech.  Gu Zhutong and the generals in the conference room immediately turned their heads to the door, and the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground - the people standing next to the star officer on duty at the door were none other than Wu Ming, the commander of the New Second Army, and Long Shaogang, the deputy commander.  .  Gu Zhutong lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist, feeling a little dissatisfied. The two of them were a full hour late. If it were other generals, Gu Zhutong might have immediately reprimanded him and kicked him out of the conference room. But facing Wu, who had brilliant military exploits.  Ming, Long Shaogang, and Gu Zhutong only gave a verbal warning: "Generals Wu Ming and Long Shaogang violated military orders and were temporarily suspended once. If they violate again, they will be punished for both crimes. Okay, there is a meeting now. Come in and sit down.  "Let's go." Wu Ming and Long Shaogang's convoy encountered Japanese reconnaissance planes following and pursuing them several times in Yushan County. They had to stop several times to avoid them, so they arrived late.  The two walked into the conference room dejectedly. Just as they were about to sit in the last row, Wu Ming was stopped by General Liu Yuqing, commander of the 21st Army.  Lieutenant General Liu Yuqing, a fierce general in the Songhu Battle who was born in the Sichuan Army but was deeply appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek and served as the division commander and army commander of the Central Army's direct line, reminded in a low voice: "General Wu, your seat is in the first row." Wu Ming was a little confused for a moment.  The situation is that the first row always holds the seat of the group army commander. Wu Ming's current status in the national army is only on par with Liu Yuqing's, so he is not qualified to sit there.  Liu Yuqing secretly pointed at the nameplate in front of the first row. Wu Ming's name was clearly written on one of the seats. Seeing Wu Ming standing there like a pillar, the deputy commander of the theater, General Liu Jianxu, could no longer suppress the resentment in his heart. He coldly  He hummed: "A clownish clown." Wu Ming heard the comment and went to see Liu Jianxu with a gloomy face looking at him. He thought to himself that they were really enemies. "General Wu Ming, please hurry up and go back to your seat and sit down," Gu Zhutong greeted.  .  "Yes" Wu Ming quickly came to the empty seat in the first row and sat down.  "Now General Wu Ming is here, Chief of Staff Huang, please explain the battle plan to General Wu Ming," Gu Zhutong ordered.  Huang Baitao described the entire combat plan in the most concise language.  The theater commander's headquarters preliminarily judged that when attacking Quzhou, the Japanese army would probably send its main force along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, with one part along Shengxian, Dongyang, Yongkang Road and the west bank of the Fuchun River, and another forceful part passing through Yuhang and Fenshui to Chun'an.  Later, we will go through Shouyang towards Longyou and Quzhou, or through Sui'an and Kaihua towards Yushan, and we will work together to capture it.  At the same time, the Japanese army in Nanchang will invade eastern Jiangxi at the same time with powerful troops, or even more troops will land from Wenzhou and leave Lishui to threaten the right and north of Quzhou.  In order to defeat the invading Japanese troops and secure Quzhou, Shangrao and other places for the purpose of a general counterattack, the third theater first deployed powerful troops in Changle, Anhua, Tonglu, Zhuji, Shengzhou, Dongyang, Yiwu, Pujiang, and Jiande.  Positions were established on each line, trying their best to delay and consume the enemy, hold on to Jin and Lan and cut off the enemy's rear, fiercely surround the Japanese aggressors, and severely attack the enemy.  After that, they lured the enemy to ask for money in Quzhou, cooperated with the ambush, interception, and tail attack troops, and used the main force to attack and annihilate them from the north and south mountains of Quzhou.  When the enemy flees, our army should pursue it bravely, press the enemy on the south bank of the Jinhua River, gather and annihilate them, and recover in one fell swoop.Land was lost on the south bank of the Qiantang River.  When talking about the specific use of troops, Huang Baitao deployed the three divisions of the New Second Army on the front lines of Tonglu, Zhuji and Shengzhou, and defeated the main force of the Japanese army with the hundreds of battles of the New Second Army.  Wu Ming listened very carefully. When he heard that the three divisions of the New Second Army were to be separated, he immediately interrupted Huang Baitao: "Chief of Staff Huang, the New Second Army is a whole. The three divisions can support and coordinate each other.  How can it be used separately? " "The New Second Army is an iron army of the Anti-Japanese War. It has extremely rich combat experience and has a psychological advantage against the Japanese army, so it naturally needs to share more." Huang Baitao explained.  "No, the new and second armies cannot be used separately. I will not agree to this plan." Wu Ming said gloomily.  When Wu Ming got angry, Huang Baitao couldn't hold it anymore and could only look at Gu Zhutong for help.  Gu Zhutong was shocked. He did not expect Wu Ming to react so violently. It seemed that the task assigned by Chiang Kai-shek could not be completed.  Gu Zhutong slowly picked up the water glass and took a sip of water to moisten his throat. The old god was there and he ignored Huang Baitao at all. As the commander-in-chief of the third theater, if Wu Mingming came back stubbornly, he would not be sure to subdue him.  How will this fierce general lead the troops in the third theater in the future?  Gu Zhutong was too hesitant to say anything, but someone couldn't help it. There was a "pop" sound and the conference table jumped suddenly.  "What qualifications do you have to object to the combat plan formulated by the theater commander's headquarters through collective efforts?" Liu Jianxu pointed at Wu Ming and asked loudly.  Wu Ming sneered: "This plan involves our New Second Army and is not conducive to the war against Japan. I naturally have the right to object. If we are not required to participate in the war, I can leave now." "Ahem¡ª¡ª" Gu Zhutong choked.  A mouthful of water and a continuous cough.  The New Second Army is the absolute main force in the Third Theater. If the New Second Army does not participate in the war, what can we do to resist the Japanese army?  Just when Gu Zhutong wanted to smooth things over, Liu Jianxu suddenly jumped up and shot towards Wu Ming with full of anger: "Soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty. Wu Ming, you dare to use your troops to threaten your superiors. You are really audacious." "I admit, I  He is very courageous As a revolutionary soldier, if he is not courageous enough, how can he fight against the Japs? " Wu Ming glanced sideways at Liu Jianxu and said disdainfully: "Our New Second Army has destroyed at least more than 100,000 Japanese troops so far?  , but some people under his command can run faster than rabbits in battle, which is really a shame for our ancestors." "You, you¡ª¡ª" Liu Jianxu turned pale with anger, and Wu Ming's words hit him like daggers.  In my heart, I couldn't refute it.  "Okay, now we are discussing the battle plan, so naturally you can speak freely." Gu Zhutong waved his hand, asked Liu Jianxu to sit down, and said to Wu Ming: "General Wu, if you have any ideas, you can put them forward. There is no need to be so excited and say anything else."  "Brother is also your commander, how can you hurt others with bad words?" "Okay, I can apologize to Commander Liu, but I still insist on my opinion that the New Second Army cannot be used separately." Wu Ming stood up and said to the whole room.  Zi's ??general said: "Our New Second Army suffered this kind of loss in the Battle of Songhu, and was brutally plotted against me, Wu Ming. I will be a villain first and then a gentleman. I will never allow similar situations to happen. If you don't believe it, you can ask Chief Liu for advice in Jiaxing."  "What happened?" "YouI" Being exposed and slapped in the face by Wu Ming in public, Liu Jianxu was so angry that his hands shook and he could not speak.  "Okay, it's time to eat now, are you all hungry?" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Gu Zhutong began to make peace with him, decisively announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then led the generals to the restaurant to eat together.  In the afternoon meeting, no one mentioned the splitting and use of the New Second Army. The meeting went on calmly. In the end, Gu Zhutong reiterated Chairman Chiang¡¯s order, emphasizing that all units in the third theater must defend the country and resist the Japanese army.  Wu Ming and Long Shaogang returned to the Fenghuang Mountain base with full of complaints, immediately held a military meeting, mobilized troops and generals, and led the main force to Zhuji the next day.  A week later, the troops arrived at the defense area designated by the theater headquarters.  Without any rest, Wu Ming led Dai Ziran, Zhang Ying and other staff generals to inspect the topography of Puyang River, Huangtong River and Kuaiji Mountain, Meichi Ridge, Kenwu Mountain, and Daolin Mountain, and then began to arrange the defense line in a planned way.  .
