The atmosphere at Jinhua West Railway Station was tense. The officers and soldiers of the New Second Division placed heavy machine guns on the station windows and on the passenger entrance and exit channels. There was also an artillery position on the roof consisting of eight 60-gun mortars. All the officers and soldiers were looking ahead with vigilance, as if a fly flew over, and the officers and soldiers would knock it down. Wang Jingjiu looked helplessly at the row of bullet holes on the cement floor in front of him. They were the marks caused by the bullets fired by the soldiers on the opposite side when they tried to stop him from leading people to break into the train station. He was so frightened that his heart almost stopped. -The latest bullet almost hit his toes and hit the ground. Even if he took a step forward, there would be holes in his body. Wang Jingjiu felt very happy when he saw the New Second Army abusing the Japanese before, but now that the New Second Army officers and soldiers pointed their guns at him, Wang Jingjiu felt aggrieved. At this moment, Wu Ming arrived at the train station in a car. Wang Jingjiu looked at the car with a squinting look on his face as it stopped in front of him. When Wu Ming got off the train, Wang Jingjiu sarcastically said: "General Wu, don't you know that the train station is a strategic location and must be controlled by the army headquarters? What on earth do you want to do by sending troops to occupy the train station?" Wu Ming learned what happened when he was on the road. He immediately laughed and apologized: "The battle situation in Jinhua is urgent now. Commander, I think your order to stick to Jinhua was very timely and accurate! The Japanese army is attacking so urgently now, I'm afraid that some troops will not obey the commander's orders and retreat without authorization, so I sent officers and soldiers to help guard the train station!" Wang Jingjiu snorted coldly and shouted at Wu Ming: "General Wu, your New Second Army is amazing. , Beat the Japanese devils hard, and be even harder on the brothers! Look at the row of bullet holes in front of you, I almost fell under the gun of your soldiers!¡± ¡°My soldiers are so stupid, I can¡¯t help it!¡± " Although Wu Ming apologized repeatedly, he had a proud expression on his face and said impassionedly: "I gave the order at the beginning. No one could escape from Jinhua City by train without my order. Who would have thought that these people would not open their eyes. They treated the commander¡¯s inspection the same as other cowardly soldiers escaping. Damn it! I¡¯ll give them a scolding later to relieve the commander¡¯s anger!¡± Wu Ming turned around, glared at him, and tried to follow him! Luo Yuming got out of the car and lost his temper: "Luo Waizui, how did you lead the troops? How dare you shoot at the commander, don't you want to live anymore? You must review it carefully after you go back, fully learn from the experience and lessons, and never do it again in the future." You are allowed to make similar mistakes again. Do you understand?" "Yes!" Luo Yuming lowered his head with a grimace, as if he was resigned to the situation. Wu Ming then scolded him again, Luo Yuming nodded in response, and finally turned around to apologize to Wang Jingjiu. Seeing Wu Ming and Luo Yuming performing the double act, Wang Jingjiu clenched his fist tightly and resisted the urge to punch Wu Ming. After a while, he calmed down his anger and said with a straight face: "General Wu, since you have already Realizing the mistake, can you withdraw your troops from the train station now? " "No!" Wu Ming shook his head decisively and explained to Wang Jingjiu: "Commander, you just said that the train station is a strategic location in Jinhua. As the mainstay of guarding Jinhua, our New Second Army must of course ensure that this strategic location is not lost." At this point, Wu Ming saluted Wang Jingjiu and assured him confidently: "Commander, in order to carry out the execution, you will swear to the death. According to Jinhua's order, in order to prevent those troops who do not want to serve the country and just want to escape on the train, I have decided that I will personally guard the train station. If the commander finds a soldier escaping from the train station, you can do it. Shoot me." Wang Jingjiu was choked by Wu Ming's words and felt very uncomfortable. Yes, Wang Jingjiu did issue an order to live or die with Jinhua before, but now the Japanese army has an absolute advantage, and the situation is worse than during the Nanjing Defense War. If they don't evacuate, Jinhua's more than 100,000 troops will be taken care of by the Japanese army. dumpling. As soon as Wu Ming opened his mouth, he blocked Wang Jingjiu's words about leading his troops to evacuate Jinhua, which made Wang Jingjiu unable to speak for a long time. "Hey¡ª¡ª" After a while, Wang Jingjiu sighed longly and raised his thumb: "General Wu, you are really a hero of the Anti-Japanese War, and your department can be called a mountain of military orders Okay, let's go aside and have a private discussion. Let's talk about it!" "This" Wu Ming looked hesitant. Seeing Wang Jingjiu's anxious face, Wu Ming didn't want to tease him anymore, and immediately went to the small garden in front of the train station with Wang Jingjiu. Arriving at the small garden before the war, Wang Jingjiu completely put down his arrogance and told Wu Ming the truth: "General Wu, the Japanese communists who are currently besieging Jinhua?Five divisions and a Marine Task Force Brigade, followed by the 23rd and 33rd Divisions, are coming. How can we as a group army withstand such terrifying forces? Commander Gu thought twice and ordered our troops to retreat. So, so" Wang Jingjiu paused here and gave Wu Ming a "you and I both understand" expression. Wu Ming took a sharp breath, his eyes lit up, he took Wang Jingjiu's words and said in great surprise: "So the commander plans to disobey the order and defend Jinhua? " Then Wu Ming looked at Wang Jingjiu with admiration, raised his thumb, and praised: "I didn't expect that the commander is such a good man. I, Wu Ming, admire him very much! Commander, please rest assured, you don¡¯t have to guard the train station yourself. As long as there is a soldier in our New Second Army, not a single deserter will escape from here! Every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, this time I decided to follow the commander, fight bloody battles, and serve the party and the country! "Wang Jingjiu rolled his eyes. Isn't this guy in front of him too deceptive? He was so humble, and he tried his best to put a high hat on himself. Wang Jingjiu stared at Wu Ming angrily, silent. "Wu Ming gave up when he saw it, Time is running out and we can no longer play tricks on Wang Jingjiu unscrupulously. Blinking his eyes, Wu Ming leaned over and asked, "Commander, do you want to lead your troops to retreat? " "This it's not that I want to retreat, but Commander Gu's order Soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty, and as the commander of a group army, this is even more true! Wang Jingjiu waved his hand and said to Wu Ming: "So, this time, please ask General Wu to get out of the way of the train station so that I can lead my troops to evacuate first!" " "It's not impossible to ask our New Second Army to get out of the way! Wu Ming glanced at Wang Jingjiu: "But I have a condition!" " "What conditions? " Wang Jingjiu was a little scared. "Commander" Wu Ming gave a military salute and said: "After the troops retreat to Quzhou, I will lead the New Second Army back to Maoliangwu in the hinterland of Qianligang to replenish guns and ammunition and train the troops. In the subsequent Quzhou War, our New Second Army will not participate again. Let¡¯s leave the good deeds of making contributions to other troops for the time being! " "Where can I do this? The New Second Army is a powerful force in the Anti-Japanese War. If you take the lead in withdrawing, your morale will be shaken! Besides, even the New Second Army, which always wins battles, has withdrawn. Will other troops withdraw? No, absolutely not! "Wang Jingjiu waved his hand in displeasure and refused directly. "Anyway, Quzhou can't be defended. Since failure is still unavoidable, we might as well stay in Jinhua City and fight the Japanese army to avoid the infamy of running away! " Wu Ming's expression changed and he threatened: "Commander Wang, you are the commander of the 10th Army. You can leave on your own After you leave, I will be the highest-ranking officer in the Jinhua garrison, and I should be the commander of the Jinhua garrison. All troops in Jinhua are not allowed to leave without authorization. "You, you" Wang Jingjiu was so angry that he was shaking all over. Although Wu Ming could not order other troops, the New Second Army firmly guarded the train station and controlled several major defensive positions from outside the west gate to the Jinhua River. The New Second Army refused to get out of the way of the retreat of more than 100,000 troops, and the Jinhua defenders really couldn't leave. Wang Jingjiu calmed down and looked at Wu Ming angrily: "If you don't let the troops leave, I will be alone. When we arrived in Quzhou, what could we do to stop the Japanese attack? " "Then please Commander, agree to my request! "Wu Ming grinned. "Okay, I promise you. "Wang Jingjiu thought about it but had no choice but finally gave in and stomped away bitterly. Wu Ming looked at Wang Jingjiu's figure with a heavy heart and murmured to himself: "Commander Wang, it's not that I don't want to serve the country. , but there is no need to participate in a losing battle! Just wait and I'll let you know what a real defensive battle is. ¡± ###### As Wang Jingjiu¡¯s order to evacuate Jinhua was issued, the officers and soldiers of various ministries made a commotion. They immediately put down their positions and swarmed towards the train station. Unexpectedly, Wu Ming led the New Second Division and Wang Jingjiu led the 63rd Direct Division. The 79th Division and the 79th Division had already boarded the train and left. Fortunately, six more trains arrived from the direction of Quzhou. From Jinhua Railway Station to Xicheng Gate, all the troops were frantically climbing on the train, just like in later generations. The Spring Festival transportation is generally crowded. Fortunately, since it was night, the Japanese army did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. As for the riots in Jinhua City, the Japanese army, who had learned from Yiwu before, could only think of it as Wu Ming's "creating chaos and waiting for an opportunity to attack at night". "As a plan, the troops were ordered to strengthen defense. By the time the Japanese troops reacted early the next morning, the main force of the Japanese army had withdrawn. Due to the late notification, the New 7th Division and the temporary 13th Division failed to capture The train, after escaping from Jinhua City, immediately ran westward. At this time, the troops defending the line from Longyou to Quzhou had been replaced.Mo Yushuo's 86th Army and Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, both directly affiliated to the Central Army, were transferred to the southern area of ??Jiangshan County by Gu Zhutong. After the 86th Army received two divisions, they retreated to Quzhou together. Because the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce was purchasing rail steel at a high price at this time, the engineering regiments of the 16th Division and the 67th Division under the 86th Army destroyed the railway tracks west of Longyou, and even the railway sleepers were pried Get up and change money. The Japanese troops fled, and the Japanese army pursued them. However, there were no trains in Jinhua City, and the railways from Zhuji to Yiwu and Yiwu to Jinhua were damaged and had not been repaired. The Japanese army could not transport them in time, so they had to use two legs to travel. At this time, the Maoliangwu Militia Group, which had been expanded to 21 regiments, came into play. Led by the officers and soldiers of the Second and Third Divisions of the New Second Army, they continued to harass the Japanese army. The Japanese army was powerless and made slow progress. It took a full week to reach Quzhou. After arriving in Quzhou, Wu Ming immediately led the New Second Division back to Maoliangwu. In the previous month, Phoenix Radio had continued to publicize, and with the full help of the Maoliangwu Vigilante Group, all people in Quzhou, Changshan, and Jiangshan counties had been evacuated, and the empty cities looked extremely depressed. As for Quzhou Airport, the Air Force has built an airport in the Huizhou area in southern Anhui. All aircraft have transferred to Huizhou Airport in advance to continue to maintain pressure on the Japanese troops on the front lines of Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Because of the prior agreement, it was difficult for Wang Jingjiu to accuse Wu Ming. But the departure of the New Second Army made the already frightened troops panic. Many officers and soldiers believed that even the anti-Japanese military god Wu Ming had escaped, and Quzhou would definitely not be able to defend it. A week later, the 16th Japanese Division was the first to arrive at Quzhou City, accompanied by the 16th Field Artillery Regiment of the division. As soon as the Japanese troops arrived outside the city, Japanese artillery began to bombard Quzhou City, making the already chaotic situation in Quzhou even more tense. Wang Jingjiu was still working hard to maintain the relationship. On the one hand, he appeased the troops, and on the other hand, he sent an urgent message to Gu Zhutong, requesting that the 74th Army, which had performed outstandingly in Wanjialing during the Wuhan Battle, be sent to Quzhou to participate in the battle. But at this time, the Japanese army had already breached Yushan County, and Jiangshan County, where the theater headquarters was located, was facing a serious threat from the Japanese army. Gu Zhutong was already preparing to withdraw to Pucheng, Fujian, and the elite 74th Army needed to accompany him to escort him, at least to defend northern Fujian. It is named Xianxia Pass. Even though there are a large number of supervising teams, many troops have already sneaked away at night. When the Japanese Fifth Division and the Fifteenth Division also arrived at Quzhou City (the Fourth Division and the Thirty-second Division began to assume the responsibility of local defense), the Quzhou garrison was on the verge of collapse. On August 12, the Japanese 116th Division successfully attacked Changshan County through Wantian and Quanmu Mountains. The Quzhou defenders' retreat route to Qianligang Mountains to join the New Second Army was cut off. The soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit. Wang Jingjiu They had to lead their troops to break out to the south of the city with all their strength. When he arrived at Langke Mountain in the south of Quzhou, Wang Jingjiu gathered his troops, leaving only five divisions with more than 30,000 people at hand. He felt like crying without tears.
