"Commander-in-Chief, telegram from the front." Yang Zhiping handed over the latest telegram in his hand to Wang Lin.

As soon as the war began, there were countless telegrams that needed to be reviewed by Wang Lin so that the latest situation could be known in the first time, so in order to prevent the grassroots troops from directly sending telegrams to Wang Lin, he had specifically said before that the troops below the division level would directly report anything to the division headquarters, and if the situation was serious, the division headquarters would forward it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took the telegram, and subconsciously put the telegram under a pile of telegrams, those were all sent before, everything has to be a first come, first come, no right? However, Wang Lin was fast enough to review the telegram, and a full-time secretary next to him only sat there and concentrated on recording the return that Wang Lin said after reading the telegram, so that many trivial matters were avoided.

Wang Lin slowly picked up the telegram sent from the front line in Hubei and quickly reviewed it, Wang Lin had to review countless telegrams a day at this time, if each one was read carefully, chewing the words, I don't know when these telegrams would be read? Moreover, there are continuous telegrams being sent in the back, and at this time, not only Wang Lin is busy here, but the telegraph room is even busier, and dozens of telegraph machines are ticking endlessly.

One person dares to attack a large army? Wang Lin was a little surprised, he had seen crazy people in this world, but he had never seen such crazy ones. A person who dares to attack a well-equipped army with a weapon from the Beiyang Army a few years ago, even if he encounters the armies of the great powers, has a fighting army? There are only three kinds of situations, either they are really crazy, or this person is really a big fan of the Manchus, stupid enough to want to stop the entire Zhengnan army with the power of one person, and finally this person is persecuted.

Caught by them? It's not something I'm willing to do? They forced me? The important content of the telegram was recalled by Wang Lin over and over again in his heart, and his intuition told him that this matter would definitely not be so simple, what kind of person was looking for someone to stop him from attacking in order to prevent his troops from attacking? And those who were caught by them? Persecuting them?

Wang Lin asked himself again and again in his heart, could it be the Qing court? It shouldn't be, if the Qing court wants to stop the march of the Zhengnan army, it will never find only one person to ambush, let alone use the way of arresting people to persecute them, and looking at the content of the telegram, it seems that this person's parents are very safe and have not been threatened, but they have caught him outside and feel that they have no face to go home, so they will be persecuted.

No matter how muddy the Manchu Qing is, it has ruled China for at least two hundred years, and it is not very difficult to find a group of die-hard people at this time, as long as he can issue this notice, there must always be some die-hard people from all over the country who will come out to block the army in the south, and the Manchu side has no reason to do so, and it is still hitting stones with eggs.

"Let them send the original copy of this letter to the intelligence department in Hunan, and notify the intelligence department separately, so that I can find out the identity of this person and find out what the letter says." Since he still had to read many telegrams later, Wang Lin didn't have much time to waste on this telegram, and all he could do now was to hand over the matter to the Ministry of Intelligence to investigate, and then report the results to himself after the investigation.

Not long after the troops finished disposing of the ambusher's body, they immediately waited for an order from Wang Lin, commander-in-chief of the Hainan headquarters.

"Lao Wang, you send two people to send this letter to the Hunan Intelligence Department." Huang Ming looked at the telegram sent by the commander-in-chief himself.

"Yes, company commander." Wang Yuxing nodded, he already knew the content of the letter, although he didn't quite understand what the fonts mentioned above meant, but his intuition told him that this matter must not be simple.

"Remember, the letter must be delivered safely, this is the order of the Commander-in-Chief himself." Huang Ming handed the telegram to Wang Yuxing. Since the commander-in-chief will personally reply to this matter, it must also be a more important matter.

Wang Yuxing nodded after reading the telegram, and then handed the letter to Liu Yuquan, asking him to lead his squad to personally send the telegram to the Hunan Intelligence Department. Wang Yuxing, who was trustworthy of Liu Yuquan's military technology, also believed that handing over this letter to Liu Yuquan would be able to accomplish the task personally assigned by the commander-in-chief.

Liu Yuquan nodded, stuffed the letter into his arms, this kind of thing should not be sent to their combat troops, the communication corps is much better than them in this regard, but the radio is only equipped with battalion-level troops, and the communication below the battalion-level troops also needs to be completed by the signal corps, plus there are not too many communication corps in the first place, so they are naturally excluded in the first place. The second is the scouts, they are more familiar with how to hide their whereabouts, so that people can not easily discover their whereabouts, but the scouts only have a reconnaissance company in a regiment, and at this stage the entire reconnaissance company has been sent out to investigate the enemy's situation, there is no spare force to send them a message, and in the end this task can only fall on the combat troops.

Seeing that the entire squad plus his total of twelve soldiers had packed up their equipment, Liu Yuquan waved his hand backwards and led a squad of soldiers back along the same route, the continuous troops along the way were in a hurry to march, and there was no need to worry too much about their safety.

It's just that at this time, the entire army has entered the Hubei border for hundreds of kilometers, and the troops of a single army cannot be everywhere within this hundreds of miles, not to mention that the 45th Army's march route is more than this, so after walking for half a day, the follow-up troops have gradually become a little sparse, until finally only for a long time to see a transport convoy composed of trucks passing by.

Where there are trucks passing through, it must belong to the main road, and it was still an official road before, not to mention the narrow and crooked road, the geology and mining are complex, and it is extremely easy to get lost without the guidance of local guides, and it is also a section, and sometimes it may not be able to be connected together.

It was another afternoon of formation, and now the entire 45th Army had entered Hubei for two days, and the vanguard had also arrived in Wuhan, and in the face of the far more Qing troops in Wuhan than in other places, the vanguard was not in a hurry to attack, but was waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops. They deliberately delayed the attack and gave the enemy more time to wait for reinforcements, so as to attract most of the enemy's forces here, and then break most of the Qing court's forces in this area in one fell swoop, and then drive straight in.

The gradually darkened sky makes this rising economic city seem a little dark, and some people are happy and some are worried about the night. In a small courtyard somewhere in Shanghai, a man with a black hat and a pale blue robe who had cut off his whip hurried into a room lit with an oil lamp.

"All localities have made preparations, and the Hubei side has begun this morning, although it has frightened them, but they also seem to have found a letter, and sent a squad of soldiers to protect it, and now it is being sent to the rear. Our men are already following them. The black hat man's deep voice rang out.

"Send a squad of soldiers to protect? can make the Zhengnan army so nervous, there must be some secret in this letter, send someone to bring the letter back, and tell him not to lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot. Another man, who was a little short, sitting in the dark, replied.

"Yes." The man in the black hat bent down and replied respectfully, and then hurried out of the room.

Liu Yuquan looked at the surrounding terrain, the surrounding area is low, and there are weeds on it, standing here can observe the surrounding situation, but it takes a lot of effort to see here, although this place is not suitable for camping, but it is okay to take a little rest.

"Let's rest here for a while, grab a bite to eat, and continue on our way in half an hour." Liu Yuquan sat in a weed, and he could see the situation below.

The soldiers walked for two days in a row, and although they rested for one night last night, they couldn't get a good night's sleep. A night of fear was a wasted experience, but the soldiers were safe. Today, it was another day of continuous walking, and even after more than half a year of training, they could not withstand the ravages of two consecutive rapid marches.

When they heard the squad leader's order to rest, several soldiers instantly lay on the ground, and the rest of the soldiers who moved a little slower looked at the few people lying on the ground, shook their heads, muttered in a low voice, and then one of them chose an angle, and just sat in the weeds and observed the surrounding situation. This is a habit in the troops, at least in the 45th Army, where on the battlefield, after the commander gives the order to rest, whoever finds a place to rest first will rest first, and the rest of the soldiers who have not caught up with the good opportunity will naturally run to the guard.

In this way, it not only saves the soldiers from being dissatisfied because of standing guard, but also trains the soldiers to do things quickly, the most important thing is not to let them practice sleeping and find a place to rest quickly, but to practice their reaction ability, of course, at the moment of looking for a place will cause a void in defense, which is why Liu Yuquan first found an excellent place to observe before giving the order to rest.

"Xiaomao, come here." Yang Yuquan beckoned to Xiao Mao, the youngest in the class, who was the fastest runner in the class.

"Squad leader." Xiao Mao bent over and tried to keep his body within the range of weeds to avoid leaking the target.

Yang Yuquan took the letter out of himself, pulled out the letter inside under the cover of weeds, and immediately opened it and took a look, after confirming that it was the letter that Wang Yuxing handed over to him, he nodded, folded it, handed it to Xiao Mao, stuffed the empty envelope back into his own bad, and instructed: "You take this letter well, if anything happens, we will cover you, you must complete the task." ”

As a professional soldier for so many years, and is the third batch of enlisted soldiers in the Hainan Army when the military service system was implemented, Yang Yuquan has long learned some simple tracking and anti-tracking subjects, at this time there are people behind him who have followed him for hundreds of miles, he naturally has long felt it, but he has not made a sound, and his troops are getting fewer and fewer in the future, and he can only meet some companies stationed in various places in the back, at that time, it is difficult to say what is please, and Liu Yuquan also felt a trace of danger.

"Squad leader, there is a situation."
