On the road from Lishui to Jinhua, a continuous stream of trucks converged into a mighty traffic flow, loaded with soldiers and luggage of the Japanese Marine Corps, and headed north at high speed. Standing on a big rock by the roadside, Taro Kishibe, the leader of the task force, looked at this spectacular scene with a smile on his face unconsciously. Lieutenant Colonel Kamemaru, the chief of staff of the task force brigade, dismounted, climbed up the big rock in a few steps, and reported to the major general on the shore: "General, the convoy is full of two brigades of imperial officers and soldiers, passing through the Likang Highway at high speed, they will definitely be successful Solve all obstacles along the way and never leak any information. "Please don't worry." "Kamemaru-kun, you are an outstanding officer of the Imperial Navy, how can you be as arrogant as those in the Army?" Taro Kishibe said immediately. He frowned and scolded in a low voice: "As a member of the navy, you must be cautious in your actions and never be rash, let alone arrogant. Have you forgotten General Yamamoto's warning? "Hai" Commander Kamemaru He stood at attention and quickly apologized. "Kamemaru-kun, this time I led the Marines to fight ashore under the orders of General Yamamoto. If I didn't achieve a good result, wouldn't I be laughed to death by the army's bandits? We only have one brigade of officers and soldiers, and the surrounding environment is unfamiliar. Facing the China Army, we must be careful and careful until we win." Rear Admiral Kishibe said with a serious face. This time, Taro Kishibe was arrested by Navy Deputy Chief Go Yamamoto. Sixteen was selected to lead his troops to participate in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign. If the performance was poor, not only would General Yamamoto, who admired him, be humiliated, but it would also give the army an excuse to attack the navy. However, the Marine Corps led by Rear Admiral Kishore only had one brigade. The total number of troops is only more than 9,000. It is not an ordinary difficulty to capture a city like Jinhua, which is the key defense of the national army. Therefore, Kishibe Taro wisely chose the plan of sneak attack. Previously, Kishibe led the Marine Corps. Since landing in Wenzhou Bay, they have successively captured Wenzhou, Qingtian and other county towns. With the full support of the naval aviation, a large fleet of aircraft has been dispatched to assist each time. When attacking Lishui County, more than 50 fighter planes took turns to bombard the national defense lines. To put it bluntly, the actions of forcing the Lishui garrison to retreat to the Fujian-Zhejiang border area were the result of the Navy, which had been doing nothing recently, wanting to take credit. If it could achieve the first success in annihilating Wu Ming and the New Second Army, it would be a great success for the Navy. A supreme honor. Precisely for reasons of secrecy and merit, the Marine Corps¡¯ actions had been concealed before. If they had not wanted the Central China Front to cooperate, the Marine Brigade on the shore might not have known about it. After seeing Yamada Otsuzo's own position, Lieutenant Colonel Kamemaru reminded him: "General, the advance troops have set off now, and we are on our way as soon as the two Marine Corps officers and soldiers responsible for opening the road got into cars and left. Let's go." "Let's go." Kishibe Taro waved his hand and gave the order. Groups of soldiers quickly ran out from the roadside. The sergeants shouted slogans and the team moved quickly toward the front. Kishibe Taro took out the kettle and drank. After a while, he jumped off the rock, got on the tall horse led by the guards, sat on the saddle, looked at the green mountains on the left and right, and murmured to himself: "I hope nothing will happen along the way. "Accident" Far away in the city of Hangzhou, hundreds of kilometers away from Lishui, bursts of gunfire suddenly came from the South Gate area. Groups of Japanese soldiers with guns and live ammunition were running quickly on the street, followed by a lackey traitor. , turned around to look for the target, but after struggling for more than half an hour, the Japs found nothing, and the street gradually became quiet. At the gate of Huanglongguan, less than two miles away from Qinghefang at the foot of Wushan Mountain in the south of the city, there was a rapid knock on the door. The Taoist priest quickly opened the door. After a while, a seriously injured person was helped in. The Taoist priest who was cleaning up quickly came forward and saw the appearance of the injured person. He was shocked and immediately ushered the injured person into the underground secret room. The injured person had completely passed out. The Taoist priest shouted several times, but the injured person did not wake up. The bullet hole in his chest, which was blocked with cotton gauze, began to bleed. "Quickly, call Taoist Master Chengzong." One person hurried out and soon he was gone. , Chengzong walked into the basement with a medicine box. At this time, he had a beard under his chin and was wearing a Taoist robe. He looked quite immortal. Chengzong came to the bedside, checked the condition of the injured, and shook his head slightly at the two of them: "He was seriously injured, and after running such a long way, he is now exhausted. Please forgive me. "There is nothing we can do." The two Taoist priests felt sad for a while. They were spies that Wu Ming personally arranged to lurk in Huanglongguan. The injured risked their lives to find them, which meant that there must be very important information. The leading Taoist priest bowed his hands to Chengzong: "Taoist Master Chengzong, I wonder if we can revive him temporarily?" "I would like to ask you two to step back and wait for the poor Taoist to perform acupuncture." The two left the hospital bed. Sun Chengzong took out a brocade box from the medicine box he carried with him. After opening it, he took out a few silver needles and lightly pricked the injured man's temples and other important acupuncture points a few times. Turn the silver needle slightly. ¡°Hang, bang¡ª¡± The injured coughed, tilted his head and spit out mouthfuls of blood. Chengzong helped him lie down, turned around, and prayed to the two Taoist priests: "He will wake up naturally in a while, but it's a pity that he will only have a flashback. Please take good care of him. The poor Taoist will retire." "Chief, please" The two Taoist priests respected Sun Chengzong and hurriedly sent him out of the door. The two knew that Chengzong was trying to avoid suspicion and did not want to get involved in worldly affairs. After closing the door, the two of them rushed to the injured person's side. At this time, the injured slowly opened his eyes, looked at the surrounding environment, and finally turned his attention to the two Taoist priests. He tried his best to speak at the highest volume: "I have information on my chest. Hurry, the Army Seat and the New Second Army are going to be captured by the Japanese." Surrounded" After hearing the wounded man's words, the two were shocked. They quickly took out a small note from the pocket on the wounded man's chest. The small note was soaked in blood, and there was only one sentence written on it: The Japanese Marine Corps has been After occupying Lishui, they now plan to attack Jinhua to cut off the New Second Army's retreat. "You stay and take care of him, and I'll send the news back quickly," one of the Taoist priests told him, and quickly went out. Wu Ming took the telegram from Ye Zhuhan and was shocked after reading it carefully. After thinking about it, he ordered to forward the telegram to Wang Jingjiu, commander of the Tenth Group Army. When Wang Jingjiu received the telegram from Wu Ming, he was stunned and his hands and feet were cold. At this time, he had already put his main force into the line of Dapan Mountain in the north of Jinhua. Now a Japanese army suddenly rushed out from the south. Wouldn't it kill him? The chief of staff next to him thought for a moment, frowned and asked: "Commander, could it be that Wu Ming lied about military information? " "What did you say?" Although Wu Ming was arrogant, it was based on his repeated meritorious service in the war against Japan. How could he lie about such important information? Besides, what good would lying do to him? " Although Wang Jingjiu, like most of the Huangpu generals, is not interested in Wu Ming, Wang Jingjiu believes in Wu Ming's character. "General, there is only one division stationed in Jinhua City now. Once the Japanese army attacks, how can we defend ourselves? Chief of Staff Scratching his head and head anxiously, he suggested: "How about we just retreat?" "Nonsense, we are revolutionary soldiers, and it is our duty to protect our homeland and the country. How can there be any reason to flee before the enemy arrives? On the anti-Japanese battlefield, there is only war. Wang Jingjiu died, Wang Jingjiu did not escape. " Wang Jingjiu angrily cursed at the chief of staff, then quickly calmed down, strode to the map, looked up for a while, and then called the communications staff officer. The telegram was forwarded to the Third Theater Command, asking Gu Zhutong to send troops for rescue. When Gu Zhutong received the telegram, he did not believe the authenticity of the information and quickly called the Fujian authorities. Nearly four hours later, the Fujian intelligence department sent the news. Gu Zhutong finally knew the whole story - defense The newly formed 21st Division of the 88th Army in Lishui was stunned by the indiscriminate bombing by the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft fleet. The division commander Gao Mingzhi took the lead in escaping, and then the entire unit collapsed without a fight. Now the division has fled to The Yunhe and Pucheng areas at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. "These people who are greedy for life and afraid of death should all be killed." Gu Zhutong was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although there were many generals in the national army who dared to fight, there were also many people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. Huang Baitao, chief of staff of the Third War Zone, pointed to Wang Jingjiu's telegram and asked: "Sir, General Wang is blocking the Japanese army in Dapan Mountain, north of Jinhua. Now the Tenth Group Army is attacked from both sides. What should we do?" The Huangpu general who deliberately wooed him was in trouble, and Gu Zhutong had to extend his hand to help him both emotionally and rationally, both in public and private matters. But even if he sends troops to rescue now, the water from far away cannot quench the thirst nearby. Furthermore, the defense line in Jiangxi is about to be penetrated by Neji Okamura. After the Japanese army occupied Linchuan and Dongdong, they continued to move eastward along the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. They occupied Yingtan and Guixi one after another. At the same time, the Japanese troops south of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway successively occupied Chongren, Yihuang, Nancheng and other places. The situation deteriorated rapidly. Gu Zhutong must control a certain number of reserves to prevent Neji Okamura from fucking his ass. Finally, neither Wu Ming nor Wang Jingjiu know the number of Japanese troops forced from the Lishui front line, and Gu Zhutong does not know even more. If the Japanese army appears on the southern front as many as one or two divisions, Gu Zhutong is very worried about whether blindly deploying troops will add food to the Japanese army. Gu Zhutong thought for a long time and asked: "Baitao, what are your ideas?" "Right now?" The New Second Army in Yiwu is very close to Jinhua, and there is a railway connecting it with Jinhua. The anti-Zhengyiwu has become an enclave, and it would not be a pity to give up.No matter what troops we attack, we can keep our gold." Huang Baitao thought about the suggestion. "How could I forget about Wu Ming, a warrior?" Gu Zhutong slapped his forehead suddenly and laughed: "Wu Ming UnrulyØThe New Second Army listened to the tune and refused to listen to the propaganda, but on the battlefield, they realized that Wu Ming's reputation as a famous anti-Japanese general was well-deserved. On the Zhuji front line, the Japanese 23rd and 33rd Divisions were making trouble in front of him. In disgrace, the Fifth Division and the Fourth Division were also unable to advance southeast of Yiwu. With the strength of one army and three divisions, who can do it to defeat more than 100,000 Japanese troops? "Yes, the commander is wise and has a keen eye for talents, which is why the New Second Army has outstanding performance." Huang Baitao flattered him fiercely, but he was full of slander in his heart. Yesterday I was still scolding Xipi, but today I am going to use it and praise her fiercely. Gu Zhutong immediately had an idea: "Order Quzhou and Jinhua to send three trains to Yiwu at all costsOrder Wu Ming to lead his troops to the front line of Jinhua as soon as possible to consolidate the southern defense line of Jinhua." , the order returned to Wu Ming, but now the New Second Army could no longer leave. The Fifth Division was strengthened by the Fifteenth Division. The Fourth Division saw an opportunity, and the morale of the army was high. Rushing from Dongyang to Yiwu City, a battle is about to break out.
