The former residence of King Luo Bin in the west of Yiwu City was rebuilt by the local enlightened gentry during the Tongzhi period of the late Qing Dynasty. It is a row of antique garden buildings in the Ming and Qing styles. It is currently the headquarters of the New Second Army. At dusk, the sky is filled with colorful clouds. In the war room converted from the main hall, Wu Ming lay in front of the window, using the light of the setting sun to check the map. For some reason, he had been restless since he got up in the morning, and he vaguely felt that something was going to happen. After staring at the map for a while, Wu Ming stood up, clapped his hands, and asked Long Shaogang next to him: "Old Long, I always feel that the little devil has a back-up plan Yiwu is not a place where we can stay for a long time. We need to do it as soon as possible. To retreat to Quzhou, it is best to withdraw to the Qianligang Mountains in one go." "No?" Long Shaogang pointed at the map and explained his opinion to Wu Ming: "Our engineering brigade has destroyed the railway from Zhuji to Yiwu. The 23rd and 33rd Divisions were constantly attacked by our army's cold bullets and landmines along the way. Their progress was slow. Coupled with the huge casualties in the continuous battles, the morale of the officers and soldiers was low. It is expected that it will take two or three days to reach Yiwu. " " Looking at us from the front, the Japanese 5th Division is stagnant. After several days of fighting, they have wiped out at least two regiments and almost half of them are gone. The fighting will of the officers and soldiers has plummeted. Even with the reinforcements from the 4th Division, I guess they don¡¯t dare to take the initiative to touch our hard core. We are still safe for the time being." Long Shaogang pointed to the Jinhua area and said: "Although the Japanese 32nd Division and the 116th Division are attacking Lanxi, the Lanxi front line is still there. There are three direct divisions of the Central Army of the 49th Army defending it. The 67th Division of the 86th Army is stationed in Dapan Mountain between Lanxi and Jinhua. The 26th Army is stationed between Lanxi and Longyou. " " Between Jiangshan, Yushan and Shangrao, there are three divisions of the 74th Army commanded by Wang Yaowu. Even if the Japanese army uses poison gas bombs extensively, it will take at least half a month to capture Jinhua. After all, the commander of the 10th Army is. Wang Jingjiu, he will not run away without a fight like those shameless people." "That said, I always feel that something is wrong." Wu Ming gritted his teeth and asked again: "Have the baggage and logistics troops been shipped?" " Now Yiwu Railway Station only has two locomotives that we seized before, and there is an even shortage of carriages. The chief of staff just dispatched a train to send the artillery away yesterday, and the logistics and baggage troops are currently loading the trains," Long Shaogang replied. "Okay" Wu Ming nodded and was about to continue talking when Du Pingzhang, chief of the confidential section, rushed into the war room and reported to Wu Ming: "Military seat, it's bad, someone wants to rob our military ranks." "What?" When Wu Ming heard this, he became furious. The train was the key to whether the New Second Army could retreat safely. At this time, someone dared to touch the military train. He was really impatient. Wu Ming asked angrily: "Who robbed our military ranks?" "It was Ma Zhongliang, commander of the 3rd Zhejiang Security Division This man led his troops to retreat from Pujiang County, northwest of Yiwu. He said he was ordered to urgently transport A batch of supplies arrived at the rear, and he also took out the order from General Xuan Tiewu, the director of the Zhejiang Security Division. "The Third Zhejiang Security Division was organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Government during the Wuhan Battle, and its soldiers were mainly from Jiaxing, eastern Zhejiang. The young people who evacuated to the inland areas such as Wuxing and Wuxing were selected by Xuan Tiewu from the Chairman's Guard and Huangpu classmates. This Ma Zhongliang was a third-generation student of Huangpu and also served as a member of the Chairman's Guard during his tenure. Xuan Tiewu's assistant. After the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War broke out, the 1st and 2nd Zhejiang Security Divisions followed Xuan Tiewu and were responsible for the security of Chun'an, Shouchang and Sui'an in northwestern Zhejiang. The 3rd Division stationed in the Ningshao area was transferred by the theater headquarters He came out and was responsible for the defense of Pujiang and the security of Yiwu's flanks. Seeing Wu Ming's frown, Du Pingzhang quickly added: "Before, we thought that the Third Security Division had evacuated in advance, but we didn't expect that they would show up at this juncture Now Chief of Staff Zhang has rushed to negotiate, and he Let me report to the military seat." "Pop" Wu Ming slammed the table and asked: "Where are our officers and soldiers guarding the train station?" "The baggage brigade has a large amount of supplies to be transferred, so the chief of staff ordered the Dusan Brigade No. 7 to guard the train station. The regiment allocated manpower to help move things. Who would have thought that bastard Ma Zhongliang would directly lead two regiment officers and soldiers to occupy the train station. Ma Zhongliang said that they must transport their things first, and he would return the train station when the train was dispatched. Give it to us," Du Pingzhang said with a wry smile. "Why did you bastard let this army enter the city? Who is responsible for defending the north gate? Why didn't you report such a big thing?" Wu Ming asked. Du Pingzhang replied: "The only brigade is responsible for the defense of the North Gate. However, the engineers had previously demolished the railway tracks and moved them to Su Street in the north. The engineers asked for help, so Brigadier Wang led his people there Who knew that this was the gap, and Ma Zhongliang led his people Suddenly appeared from Puyi Highway and entered the city directly from the north gate. The officers and soldiers left behind in the only brigade quickly reported it, but it was too late. " Wu MingHis face was as dark as water: "We have made big mistakes in every aspect this time. We have to be lucky that it is not the Japanese army who came, otherwise Yiwu City would have been lost by now." After saying that, he grabbed the gun on the table and called the Intelligence Department Changye Zhuhan went out together, boarded the car, and rushed towards the train station. The area around Yiwu Railway Station was surrounded by officers and soldiers of the New Second Army. More than forty mortars and fifty or sixty light and heavy machine guns had been set up, all aimed at the railway station. The officers and soldiers of the security division who were hiding in the station were looking outside with their heads shrinking, looking at the new officers and soldiers of the Second Second Army who were glaring at each other like wolves and tigers, and their legs were trembling a little, from the officers to the soldiers. Zhang Dongning broke through the obstruction of several guards, strode to the small square in front of the train station, and said loudly to the station: "Mr. Ma, if you have any questions, we can talk face to face. You and your people will occupy the train station and delay our transfer." The progress of supplies, this is very bad." There was no response from the other side for a long time. Finally, the other side sent a lieutenant officer and asked Zhang Dongning to come into the train station to talk. Zhang Dongning saw through Ma Zhongliang's timidity at a glance and did not dare to appear and be exposed to the guns of the officers and soldiers of the New Second Army. Zhang Dongning didn't care and followed the lieutenant into the train station. As soon as he walked into the train station gate, Zhang Dongning criticized the major general officer who came up to him with a smile. Ma Zhongliang, who is in his early thirties and has a fat head and big ears, smiled awkwardly and then reiterated his idea - to transport the security guards back to Jinhua first. Zhang Dongning waved his hand and refused directly: "Commander Ma, our military commander is coming soon. You can tell our military commander in person. If he agrees, I don't have any problem. If he doesn't agree, you can forget it." "If you set out from Yiwu, you will soon turn into a dead body." Hearing Zhang Dongning's threats, Ma Zhongliang was not surprised. Since the outbreak of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle, he knew just from the battle reports he received that when facing the New Second Army, the Japanese army At least more than 20,000 people were killed. The Fourth and Fifth Divisions currently confronting the New Second Army in the southeast of Yiwu are proof of this - when will the two Japanese divisions be unable to do anything to the Chinese army? You must know that the same Fifth Division, under the leadership of Itagaki Seishiro, used half of the division to rampage across Shanxi and defeated 200,000 Chinese troops. They even defeated Xingguan, Ruyuekou, Yuanping, and Xinkou, and finally captured Taiyuan. However, now they are standing still in front of the New Second Army, which shows the bravery of the New Second Army. Ma Zhongliang broke into cold sweat. He smiled and took out a bag of things from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhang Dongning's hand. In the pocket. Zhang Dongning felt it was heavy, so he took it out and unwrapped the red cloth and saw that it turned out to be three golden gold bars. Zhang Dongning hurriedly returned the gold bar to Ma Zhongliang: "Commander Ma, our New Second Army has never had this rule You can keep it. We will come to the military seat later. If you have anything to say, tell him directly." Ma Zhongliang also wants to return the gold bar. He handed it to Zhang Dongning, but when he saw Zhang Dongning extending his hand to block it without any doubt, he took it back angrily: "Okay." By the time Wu Ming arrived at the train station, Zhang Dongning had already persuaded Ma Zhongliang to walk out of the train station. Several people came to a pavilion in front of the train station. Ma Zhongliang reiterated his request: "General Wu Ming, your New Second Army is not afraid of death and dares to confront the Japanese head-on, but my Third Security Division is simply a bunch of cowards. I beg you to let my troops go first. If you Promise, I'm very grateful." Wu Ming put his hand on the table, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "There is only one condition for your troops to leave first, and that is to kill every officer and soldier of our New Second Army and step on our corpses. Boarding the train heading west, "Commander Wu Ming, what you said is really so unreasonable." Ma Zhongliang was a little embarrassed, looked at Wu Ming with some fear, and quickly ordered the adjutant next to him to send it. A brocade box. After opening the brocade box, it revealed ten gold bars piled neatly inside. Ma Zhongliang smiled flatteringly and pushed the brocade box in front of Wu Ming: "Commander Wu, this is a meeting gift from me. Please accept it with a smile." If Commander Wu agrees, I will thank you with a big gift." "I didn't expect Commander Ma to lead the troops to fight and have so many gold and silver treasures on him. It really opened Wu's eyes." Wu Ming stared at Ma Zhongliang, his face The boss was full of disdain: "I heard that Mr. Ma's family is not very wealthy, how come he can easily take out so many gold bars? " "This, this -" Under Wu Ming's knife-like eyes, Ma Zhongliang only obeyed, and he was sweating profusely for a while. "Pa -" Wu Ming slammed the table and shouted at Ma Zhongliang: "Say, Where did you get these gold bars? " "Ithis is the proceeds from the confiscation of the traitor's property and will be turned over to the state treasury." After Ma Zhongliang answered, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his head and face, and finally smiled shyly: "If Commander Wu can let me When the officers and soldiers of our division board the military ranks, I will give you a large sum of money." Wu Ming felt sad in his heart. He led his troops to fight bloody battles and served the country with loyalty, but people like Ma Zhongliang took the opportunity to make a fortune from the country's difficulties.On the way here, he had already asked Ye Zhuhan to find out clearly that the Third Security Division belonged to the three-regiment system. It had been stationed in Shangyu for half a year, and later it was stationed in Shengzhou. It was not until the Zhejiang-Jiangxi War broke out that it was stationed in Pujiang. It was mainly for security purposes. The Japanese army crossed Longmen Mountain and entered Yiwu. Ye Zhuhan reported that when Ma Zhongliang led his troops to be stationed in Shangyu and Sheng counties, he ransacked people's wealth and wealth in the name of investigating and punishing lackeys and traitors, and almost emptied the entire Shangyu and Sheng counties of valuables. Later, he was stationed in Pujiang and repeated what happened in Shangyu and Shengxian counties. This Ma Zhongliang, even though his name has the word Zhongliang in the middle, he is extremely evil and his heart is even more vicious than a wolf. Wu Ming stared at Ma Zhongliang intently. When the other person shivered and lowered his head, he said slowly: "You It¡¯s not impossible to leave first. This train has twenty-four carriages, and the baggage materials will take up about twenty-one of them. This means that there are three carriages available for you.¡± ¡°Ah, only three carriages? There are more than three sections for items," Ma Zhongliang said anxiously, speechless. When Wu Ming heard this, he felt even more disgusted with Ma Zhongliang. Three carriages cannot satisfy him. How many people must be harmed to get so many things? Ma Zhongliang cried and begged: "Commander Wu, I beg you, please give me a few more carriages. I really can't fit it in." "No more. If you really want to grab it, you can do whatever you want." Wu Ming stood up, patted his military uniform, and made a gesture of leaving. "Three quarters is three quarters." Ma Zhongliang quickly grabbed Wu Ming and said a little embarrassedly: "Commander Wu, I'm a little worried about so many things. I want to go with the car." Wu Ming was stunned, he didn't expect it. Ma Zhongliang would make such a request. Wu Ming suddenly thought of a question, looked at Ma Zhongliang in surprise, and asked: "Commander Ma, what will happen to your troops when you leave?" "I want to hand them over to Commander Wu I, the security guard, Although the Third Division is ineffective, it still has the strength of three regiments. Now I have one regiment left outside the north gate to help me guard my property This time I only took one company with me, and left all the others to Commander Wu. The Japs defend their home and country, so it¡¯s not a waste for them to join the army." Ma Zhongliang said his idea, which made Wu Ming stunned again.
