Dai Jitao looked at his watch and turned on the radio, and at 0:00 a.m. on 20 May, the Far East Radio Station punctually broadcast Hu Wenkai's 10-point statement on Zhejiang.

The first point requires all armed forces in Zhejiang to lay down their arms and accept reorganization.

The second point is that all administrative systems in Zhejiang must operate normally, maintain public order, and wait for the acceptance of the re-entry party.

Third, Zhejiang will enjoy the same tax policy as Jiangsu Province.

Fourth, all officials will no longer be held accountable for their previous responsibilities.

Five points of free education for all school-age children.

Sixth, all checkpoints that are not authorized by law will be banned immediately.

The seventh point is that all citizens' property cannot be encroached upon without the permission of the law, and the military and administrative power will protect the safety of citizens' property.

Point 8: Any negative resistance will be included as a war criminal and will be deprived of his property and personal liberty.

Point 9: All counties and townships are not allowed to provide any assistance or convenience to Lu Yongxiang's troops, and once discovered, they will be deemed to be acts of financing the enemy.

Point 10: All Fujin Party troops entering Zhejiang must not disturb the people, strictly abide by the discipline of the troops, and be dealt with by military law violators.

These ten-point statements were broadcast in turn by male and female voices, and Dai Jitao's ears were pricked up and he listened to it twice and said: "The boss's ten-point statement is wonderful, the first two points are to inform us that we have taken over Zhejiang, the third to seventh points are to give Zhejiang Anxin candy to eat, and the last three points are to draw out a warning." ”

"The boss is good at psychological warfare, if people who don't know the situation think that the boss is already lying on Lu Yongxiang's chair in Hangzhou." Wu Hongxia laughed.

"Okay, it's not too early, just leave a few people here, tomorrow is the most critical day, the Hangzhou police are six o'clock in the afternoon, and the notice can't be too early. This collection of Zhejiang is an assessment of the execution of our group organization. Hu Wenkai stood up and pulled Wu Hongxia out.

"Boss, I'm going to stay and wait for the result." Wu Hongxia leaned on the chair and refused to get up.

"Nonsense, don't you want to think about staying up late when you're a few months pregnant? I'll ask Bykov to take you home and rest and come back after nine a.m., or you'll be disqualified. Hu Wenkai rarely got angry, Wu Hongxia got up with an unwilling face and followed Hu Wenkai away.

"Everyone, go to bed early, you will be busy after nine o'clock, you don't have time to sleep and eat, and Brother Jiaxiang is on duty tonight." According to Hu Wenkai's intention, there is no need to gather in Yanyang tonight, but these partners have not had anything to do with each other, and they stayed at the staff headquarters early, so Hu Wenkai did not come to Yanyang to accompany them to witness the glorious moment, which is a bit unreasonable.

Bykov drove the car, Wu Hongxia sat in the co-pilot, and Dai Jitao and Hu Wenkai sat in the back seat. Hu Wenkai suddenly laughed: "What will Lu Yongxiang's reaction be if he hears the radio?" ”

"Haha, I must have smashed the teacup and said that Liang Qichao is not finished with you." Dai Jitao said in a low voice.

"Brother Ji Tao, have you often listened to the Water Margin commentary during this time?"

"Ah, Wen Kai, how do you know?"

"That sentence Liang Qichao was exposed."

Wu Hongxia looked at the shade outside the car window, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Why do you two big men look like children, you want me to see Lu Yongxiang pick up the phone and shout and order the Fourth Division to arrive in Huzhou as soon as possible, and then the 10th Division will move closer to Hangzhou to reconnoiter the movement in the direction of Shanghai, Jiangsu." ”

At the same time as they were talking, Lu Yongxiang smashed the purple sand teapot in his hand in the villa by the West Lake. Wearing slippers and pajamas, he paced back and forth and said to himself: "Who gave Liang Qichao the courage to make this statement?" American? French? ”

"The overseers shouldn't be, the powers are now focused on the battle of Zhifeng in the north, how can they have the energy to take care of Zhejiang, let alone Zhejiang's proximity to Shanghai, if there is a war in Zhejiang, it will affect Shanghai, and the powers are unwilling." The adjutant was analyzing.

Lu Yongxiang glared and said, "Then Liang Qichao is a madman?" The 10-point statement is clearly a declaration of war against me. ”

"I think that it is just a literati complaining, and he Liang Qichao will attack Zhejiang unless he is crazy."

"There is also a clear direct line that has achieved a great victory on the battlefield, and he Liang Qichao made a statement of fake tiger power. Liang Qichao did not dare to provoke a war if he was given ten dares. ”

Lu Yongqiang sat down heavily: "Even so, we can't take it lightly, order the 10th Division to move closer in the direction of Hangzhou, telegraph the 4th Division to garrison Huzhou as soon as possible, and the Zhejiang Division to approach in the direction of Shanghai, and ask the Yangtze River Fleet to go cruising near Haimen to put pressure on Jiangsu." ”

"It's too late today, early tomorrow morning, I will ask Governor Zhang Zaiyang to go to the Overseer's Mansion to discuss strengthening the control over the counties, and no moths can be produced." Lu Yongxiang waved his hand and asked the adjutant to go back to rest.

Sighing and inhaling his slippers, he walked to the bedroom: "This year is not a good year, Zhang Lao and the bandits were defeated, Sun Cannon was driven away from Guangzhou, and now it is my turn to be threatened by Liang Qichao." ”

The first battalion of the first regiment of the Jiangsu First Brigade, under the leadership of battalion commander Zhang Dafa, set out from the Qingpu military camp the day before yesterday and was led by the Deqing County militia regiment to march to Mopan Mountain day and night. The first half of the journey was good by water, sitting on the boat, the small steamer pulled the transport boat from the Taihu Lake waterway through the Xitiaoxi River to Huzhou, and in the afternoon he hastily ate a meal of Huzhou Governor Lao Jun outside Heping Town.

Deqing and Huzhou have prepared more than 10 pack horses and more than 20 donkeys in advance, and the number of horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is very small, and there are not a few batches in one county, on the contrary, there are many donkeys. It took an hour and hundreds of people to move the two armored vehicles ashore from the big ship, and the battle plan was not prepared for a battalion to carry armored vehicles. In mountainous operations, considering that the roads are narrow, the armored vehicles cannot be used, and they are not applicable.

Zhang Dafa's reason was that the blocking battle was a division, and without strong protective firepower, it was difficult for a battalion to resist the opponent's group charge. If the armored vehicle can't drive up the hill, it can stay under the hill as a response fire, just in case. The dog who was scolded by Wang Hongguo thought of retreating because he didn't fight, and finally agreed to let him bring two armored personnel carriers.

The first battalion of 680 people led the way to Mopan Mountain under the guidance of 50 civilian regiments. The road is getting narrower and narrower, the forest is getting denser and denser, the sky is getting darker, the team only advanced more than 30 miles, the forward just arrived at Lujiazhuang, Zhang Dafa borrowed a flashlight to calculate on the map that Lujiazhuang is 2.4 kilometers away from Mopan Mountain in a straight line, and the Panshan Road is also up to 6 kilometers.

After summoning the four company commanders and the battalion headquarters staff officers to study and study, it was decided to camp in Lujiazhuang tonight, and Zhang Dafa and the four company commanders went to Mopan Mountain in the dark to survey the terrain.

Even if the local guide led the way, the mountain road at night was stumbling, and finally arrived at Mopan Mountain at nine o'clock, and I was dumbfounded when I saw the terrain, which was completely different from the map.

There is a very wide dirt road in the valley between Mopan Mountain and Fangwu Mountains, and only by asking the guide did you know that this road is the official road leading from Deqing County to Huzhou. Obviously, it was obscured by the mountain, and it was impossible to detect it by taking pictures from the air.

Zhang Dafa and his men did not care about resting and waited for tomorrow's survey, and climbed over the horse mountain overnight to reach this official road, which was about six meters wide, and the steep mountains on both sides were overgrown with shrubs and miscellaneous trees.

After climbing the Fangwu Ridge and coming down, they were busy drawing a topographic map, and several people studied the setting of the undulating attack position on the spot. Unable to concentrate the troops, they were vulnerable to artillery fire from the enemy, so blocking positions were set up on the hills on both sides of the official road, and large forces were concentrated on the Guoma Mountain and the Phuong Wu Ridge and halfway up the mountainside. Two armoured vehicles were parked at a bend a kilometer away and could be called up for support at any time. Mortar positions are located in two places on each hill, and machine-gun positions are built on the hills, and trees will be cut down early tomorrow morning to be used as cover.

The five people walked on the road back to Mopan Mountain, fortunately, but also lost overnight to survey the terrain, otherwise tomorrow morning I don't know what the chaos will be, first of all, the path leading from Mopan Mountain to Guoma Mountain is only more than one meter wide, and the armored vehicle cannot pass, and then encounter the official road, and the estimated time to rearrange the position is tight.

Zhang Dafa instructed a company commander to work hard and lead the engineer platoon to set off ahead of schedule at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning to build a position. After setting up a radio station to report the situation to the brigade headquarters and checking the mobile post, Zhang Dafa ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and lay down peacefully. A year of military career has given him a good habit of lying down and not wanting to fall asleep as soon as possible.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the fog in the mountains had not yet lifted, and the green weeds on the road were rolling down the stems of the leaves and onto the rocks. The soldiers of the first battalion untied their sapper shovels and built a blocking position halfway up the mountainside, and the four Maxim heavy machine guns were arranged in steps into crossfire, which belonged to the battalion firepower, each squad had one light machine gun, and one platoon was equipped with two 80 mortars. The firepower is incomparable to that of the 4th Division.

The commander of the third company rode around looking for Zhang Dafa, who was busy setting up a battalion command post halfway up the mountain.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, the road ahead has been reconnoitred, all the way down is a mountain col, I have measured 14.5 kilometers and there is no fork in the road, and 14.5 kilometers ahead is a three-way intersection that can lead to the outside of the mountain." As he spoke, he traced the map with a red pen.

Zhang Dafa lay on the map and looked at it carefully, then rolled up the map, put it in the map bucket, put it on his back, and said: "The communicator informs the battalion staff officers and the company commanders to concentrate on surveying the terrain. ”

Riding an old horse for more than ten kilometers before I saw a three-way intersection, although there were many mountain paths on the way, but it was only a chicken intestine trail, which could only allow one person to pass. The staff officer pointed to the steep mountain beside the road and said: "The battalion commander can use explosives to blow up the cliff and trap at least one brigade of the Fourth Division." ”

"That's right! However, it is necessary to separate the heavy shaft equipment, and remember that when exploding, wait for the infantry to enter and see the heavy shaft battalion before exploding. ”

"The battalion commander doesn't need this, we can bury mines here, and the heavy shaft equipment is always the last anyway."
