"Woo¡ª¡ª" The whistle sounded, and the train was about to start. On the platform of Yiwu Railway Station, Wu Ming pulled Zhang Dongning aside, looked around, and whispered a few words. "What, killed Ma Zhongliang on the road?" Zhang Dongning looked at Wu Ming in surprise. "Yes, Ma Zhongliang must die as a revolutionary soldier. Not only did he fail to protect his country, but he harmed the common people. He is an unforgivable crime. Since the Anti-Japanese War, the reason why the national army has been retreating step by step is because there are too many such moths, and even one of them is lost. One less person." A stern look flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, and he whispered: "Ma Zhongliang voluntarily abandoned his troops and took only a company of confidants on the road for the sake of the looted people's wealth. For such a person, he should be sent to hell. It¡¯s okay if we can¡¯t see it, but now Ma Zhongliang has taken the initiative to run into our hands. If we don¡¯t get rid of this person, it will endanger the overall situation of the War of Resistance.¡± Zhang Dongning also hopes to get rid of such a scourge as Ma Zhongliang, but after thinking about it, he is still quite worried. : "Isn't this good? I heard that the relationship between Ma Zhongliang and Xuan Tiewu is very unusual, and they are also well-known within the Huangpu Clique. Once the matter is exposed, the impact will be very bad." "So, this requires you to bring the whole matter to light." The matter was handled very secretly." Wu Ming patted Zhang Dongning's shoulder and said solemnly: "I can only rest assured if I leave this matter to you." "In that case, well, I will definitely handle it efficiently and absolutely. Don't leave any trouble behind." Zhang Dongning also became fierce, showing the heroic spirit when he was a bandit, and said with a sneer: "Thieves have their own ways, I have long disliked that Ma Zhongliang, he treats the common people more than the Japanese. "Be ruthless, and it will make his conscience difficult to live with." Wu Ming smiled brightly. Although Zhang Dongning was already a genuine major general of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the ruthlessness and determination unique to bandits in his heart had not changed at all. Zhang Dongning thought of another thing: "Military seat, what should I do with the three carriages of people's anointing that Ma Zhongliang searched?" "According to the feedback from the intelligence department, in order to avoid leaving behind troubles, Ma Zhongliang targeted the target without mercy, and was Almost all the families he robbed are dead When there is peace in the future, I will find a way to compensate the victims' relatives with part of their property." Wu Ming thought carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "I will do Ma Zhongliang. After dropping it, you should deal with those belongings first." "Okay." Zhang Dongning nodded in relief. When the property was transported into Yiwu City from outside the north gate just now, Zhang Dongning estimated that more than two hundred carts were pulled by mules and horses, and more than four hundred items were carried or carried by officers and soldiers. The total value of this property is probably no less than Tens of millions of dollars, this is the result of the valueless antique calligraphy and painting in troubled times. How much help this money will have in the future war of resistance if it falls into the hands of the New Second Army. "Dongning, you have a very heavy burden on you. Getting rid of Ma Zhongliang is still a trivial matter." Wu Ming explained in detail: "At present, The most important task is to safely transport all the artillery brigade and baggage troops back to the Qianligang Mountains and set up defenses as soon as possible Don't get out of the car at those stations along the way. I have called Mr. Lu Da and Mr. Lu Er, and they will lead the Maoliangwu Militia Group. I'll pick you up in Quzhou." Although Wu Ming's words were an understatement, Zhang Dongning heard them like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. Wu Ming's arrangement was clearly intended to retreat to the hinterland of Qianligang and wait for a heavy Japanese attack. Looking at Wu Ming, who was frowning, Zhang Dongning asked in confusion: "Did something happen?" "During this period, there were many clues on the battlefield that it was impossible for the Japanese army in Central China to mobilize so many troops this time. Just to open up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. Combining the intelligence passed to us by the military commander before, and looking at the current war situation, everything is clear. The enemy's target can only be us. Now we are surrounded by generals like Ma Zhongliang who are greedy for life and afraid of death. We must make careful plans for the future of the New Second Army." Wu Ming sighed heavily and continued: "We must prepare for the worst in everything. If we wait until the situation forces us to change, it will be too late." Zhang Dongning understood what Wu Ming meant: "Military seat, I understand. After returning to Maoliangwu, I will check all the fortifications in the south and north of the mountain to ensure that everything is safe." "Okay, I will leave it to you at home." Wu Ming finally said He hugged Zhang Dongning forcefully, and the brotherhood of life and death was reflected in this affectionate hug. After bidding farewell to Zhang Dongning and others, Wu Ming quickly returned to the military headquarters in the west of the city. He gathered the correction officers together and nervously deduced the situation of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi war. Seeing Wu Ming come back, Dai Ziran pulled Wu Ming with a smile: "Military seat, your eyes are really vicious. You can see the ruthlessness in Wang Jingjiu's bones right away." "What do you mean?" Dai Ziran is headless. Wu Ming was confused for a moment by saying such a sentence. Long Shaogang smiled and shook his chin: "Ziran, please tell the military commander about the situation." "Military commander, General Wang Jingjiu shot an escaped national army division commander, and now he personally"He took people to the Dapanshan defense line between Lanxi and Jinhua to supervise the battle. " Dai Ziran briefly introduced the general situation. "The military headquarters received a war report from the Jinhua front line. Chen Baozhong, the commander of the 192nd Division defending Lanxi, fled without a fight and surrendered the defense line he guarded to the Japanese army, resulting in the entire The front quickly collapsed, and Lanxi was occupied by the Japanese. After Wang Jingjiu found out the truth, he immediately shot Chen Baozhong on the spot, and then appointed Wang Wei, a classmate from Huangpu, as the division commander, and reorganized the 192nd Division and sent it to the Dapanshan line. " There's nothing surprising about this. Because some national troops collapsed too quickly, many main forces in the third theater had no time to retreat. In order to preserve their strength, Gu Zhutong would never agree to Wang Jingjiu abandoning Jinhua easily. " Wu Ming came to the map, stopped and looked at it for a while, and analyzed: "With Dapan Mountain as a natural terrain, when the entire army retreated in large strides, Wang Jingjiu was able to hold the Dapan Mountain defense line and try to keep Jinhua intact. This huge contribution is crucial to the stability of the army. His position as the new commander of the Army Group was of great benefit. " "Furthermore, Chen Baozhong was from the old Hunan Army and had a close relationship with Liu Jianxu. By shooting such a disobedient local miscellaneous division commander and replacing him with his direct henchmen, he could firmly control the 192nd Division. In his own hands, he could even transform it into a direct division of the Central Army. Why not? " Speaking of this, Wu Ming remembered something again and asked Long Shaogang: "Ma Zhongliang is gone, how is his Third Zhejiang Security Division doing now? What do ordinary soldiers think of the incorporation of our New Second Army? " Long Shaogang was happy when he mentioned this. He smiled and said: "Military, you don't know that nearly half of Ma Zhongliang's officers and soldiers are ruffians, many of them are double-gun generals. They often smoke big cigarettes with one hand and another Shoot. These people followed Ma Zhongliang to do evil, and their hands were stained with the blood of the common people. I have had people detained and examined. If there is no problem, each person will be sent away with five yuan. Anyone who commits murder and arson will be shot. However, the regiment led by the Third Regiment Commander Fang Ping is quite good, with well-organized and well-trained troops, and is worthy of our acceptance. " Wu Ming asked carefully and gradually figured out the whole story. The regiment that Ma Zhongliang left outside the city to guard the property was the only main group that the Third Security Division could handle. Although the regiment leader Fang Ping couldn't understand what Ma Zhongliang did. However, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Fang Ping, who was born in Pinghu, Jiaxing and graduated from the ninth class of Huangpu Military Academy, had no choice but to lead the officers and soldiers to practice military skills in a sullen voice. Because of this, the security guard did not participate in any evil things. The Third Regiment has always maintained its combat effectiveness, which is the main reason why Ma Zhongliang safely handed over his belongings to Fang Ping's department for guarding. Now that he heard that the Third Security Division was integrated into the New Second Army, Fang Ping, who had always admired Wu Ming, was upset. Immediately tell everything he knows to Long Shaogang: "Military seat, although Fang Ping's regiment is not as good as the main regiments of our New Second Army, it is still outstanding among the national army. " Long Shaogang liked Fang Ping, a big fool, and asked Wu Ming for mercy: "I suggest that all of them be incorporated into our independent division, so that the officers and soldiers of this unit can adapt to the combat style of our new Second Army. "Growing slowly." "Now that the military supplies and logistics troops have just left, let's first allocate a batch of weapons and equipment from the reserves of each regiment to the Fang Ping regiment." Wu Ming thought about it, waved his hand and said, "As for other things, Lao Long You can make the decision on your own, but you have to tell Fang Ping in advance that our New Second Army is very particular about orders and prohibitions, and it is best to get rid of all those veteran soldiers who do not obey orders. This not only ensures the safety of those who are not suitable for our army, but also purifies our team and ensures combat effectiveness." "I took note of it." Long Shaogang agreed and turned around to pass on the order. After Long Shaogang left, Dai Zi Ran pulled Wu Ming to the map, pointed at the map and said: "Military seat, we just got the information that the Japanese 15th Division diverted from Anwen to Dongyang and is approaching Yiwu. It is expected to join the 5th Division soon." The regiment reunited. If the Fourth Division is added to the mix, the total strength of the Japanese army has exceeded that of our army. I estimate that the Japanese army in the southeast will soon launch an attack on Yiwu City. " As Dai Ziran spoke, a hint of worry appeared on his face. "The Japanese army is coming fiercely. At this time, we should retreat in large strides to Quzhou and Changshan. It is best to withdraw all of them into the Qianligang Mountains. "Wu Ming's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he was staring at the map. "Ah, are you leaving without a fight? "Dai Ziran asked doubtfully. "The situation in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi battle has become confusing, and I can't figure it out now. " Wu Ming's tone was low, and then he said in an unusually sure tone: "But I'm sure that there is an unknown danger coming towards us." "What danger? " "It's because I don't know clearly that I feel scared I am not familiar with Yamada Otsuzo, the new commander of the Japanese Central China Front, and I know nothing about his marching formation. Now the stagnant water on the battlefield is slightly rippled, just like before the storm comes.?Calm, very scary. " Although Wu Ming spoke in a gentle voice, his slightly trembling fingers still exposed the fear in his heart. " Intuition on the battlefield is a mysterious sixth sense possessed by some soldiers. Although the reason cannot be explained clearly, this feeling has occurred many times. He saved Wu Ming and the New Second Army, thus prompting him to issue an order for the New Second Army to withdraw from Yiwu as soon as possible.
