After awarding the New Second Army the Banner of Honor, Chiang Kai-shek went to the rest room next to the school field for about a quarter of an hour, feeling that his spirit had recovered from the exhaustion of a long day's travel, and he planned to return to the hotel where he was staying to deal with official business.

Chiang Kai-shek was stopped by Wu Ming and Chiang Ching-kuo, who came in a hurry.

It turned out that Wu Ming was answering reporters' questions just now, and Ye Zhuhan, the chief of the intelligence section, hurriedly came to Wu Ming's side, whispered a few words in his ear, Wu Ming's face changed, and immediately told the reporters that there was an urgent military situation that needed to be dealt with, and today's Q&A session was over, and then Jiang Jingguo was called and rushed to the lounge.

Wu Ming and others invited Chiang Kai-shek to the military headquarters of the New Second Army. The atmosphere here was extremely tense, with five steps and one post at five paces and one sentry at ten paces, and the officers and men of the heavily armed guard regiment were on guard with their guns in their hands.

Lieutenant Colonel Lei Yan, commander of the guard battalion of the guard regiment directly under him, led people to carefully inspect the situation around the military headquarters, several company commanders took the officers and men of the brigade to inspect all places with a serious face, and more than 20 military dogs lined up their ears vigilantly while running, and looked around, which military dog stopped barking, and immediately a large number of officers and soldiers rushed over to search.

Seeing that the security level was so high, Chiang Kai-shek also became nervous, he stopped and looked at Wu Ming who was following him with a suspicious expression: "Commander Wu, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Ming did not answer immediately, but glanced at Jiang Jingguo. Jiang Jingguo hurriedly stepped forward and explained in a low voice: "Father, the situation is urgent, let's go to the house and talk about it." I'll tell you the truth as soon as I get there! ”

When he sat down in the small conference room of the military headquarters located in the belly of the mountain, Chiang Kai-shek couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

"Chairman, please forgive me for not governing the army strictly...... Taking advantage of the confusion in the expansion and change of guard lines and the lack of clarity in personnel and establishment, a force of Japanese troops colluded with inside and outside the army to successfully infiltrate our army and cause chaos. Now please wait a few hours at the military headquarters, and we will take care of it. ”

Wu Ming looked apologetic: "Chairman, I don't dare to guarantee other places, but the military headquarters of the New Second Army, which is located at the core of the Phoenix Mountain base, is absolutely safe!" Now your guard captain, General Feng Shengfa, is urgently mobilizing manpower, and in two hours, Mao Liangwu's chairman guard will be able to arrive! ”

When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, Huo Ran stood up.

Wu Ming has always been known for his rigorous management of the army, why is there such a big mistake now? Chiang Kai-shek was shocked and couldn't help but think of Qian Dajun's admonition, frowned and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Wu Ming glanced at Jiang Jingguo with a wry smile: "Brother Jianfeng, you are in charge of the work of the emergency response team, I have also given you a detailed introduction to this matter just now, you can report it to the chairman!" ”

"Good!"

Chiang Ching-kuo nodded in agreement, and he helped Chiang Kai-shek to sit down: "Father, this is the situation...... When the Japanese army got the news that you were coming to Quzhou, especially Maoliangwu, to inspect it, they painstakingly sent a small force to infiltrate Quzhou, hooked up with a regiment commander of our independent division, and successfully infiltrated our ranks. ”

"This regiment commander once studied at Waseda University in Japan, but after returning to China, he did not engage in politics or business, but joined the military, which belonged to the civil engineering system before, and was later assigned to the new second division, starting from the deputy company commander, and becoming the commander of the independent division in three years."

"Because this person deliberately concealed his experience of studying in Japan, we were only wary of officers who graduated from Japanese military academies, and we did not expect that people who returned from studying at Japanese universities would choose the path of joining the army. Today, about 50 Japanese soldiers have been mixed in under the command of this regiment, and the unit is currently responsible for the security and vigilance around Maoliangwu Town. ”

"We were worried that these Japanese would set up ambushes and assassins in unexpected places, so after discussion, we decided to arrange for you to rest at the military headquarters and eat dinner by the way."

"Is there such a thing?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Wu Ming in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, Chairman, I didn't expect this to happen!" Wu Ming was quite embarrassed, and said to the staff officer of the major who accompanied him: "Staff Officer Du, go and call Major Ma, the regimental chief of staff of the first brigade and one regiment of the independent division!" ”

After about ten minutes, Ma Zhu walked into the small conference room nervously, and Wu Ming said encouragingly: "Ma Zhu, you tell the chairman about your findings!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Zhu stood up and immediately told the story of what happened during this time:

"Here's the thing, two days ago, our regimental commander suddenly formed a unit to replace the original guard platoon, I didn't think much about it, our department is reorganizing the troops, the grassroots need to enrich the strength, the guard platoon is all veterans with rich combat and training experience, and they can just improve the combat effectiveness of the troops when they go out to lead the troops!"

"This guard platoon, which is said to be composed entirely of recruits brought back from the brigade headquarters from the regimental base, behaves in such a way that most of them are dumb, and you scold him and smile at you...... The platoon commander, newly appointed by Regiment Commander Wu, spoke in an indescribable tone—"

Wu Ming coughed lightly and interrupted Ma Zhu's nagging: "Let's get to the point!" ”

"Oh!"

Seeing that Wu Ming was a little dissatisfied, Ma Zhu hurriedly turned to the topic: "Last night, I accidentally discovered that the corpses of the second company deputy and several soldiers of our regiment were hidden under the dead branches of the dense forest next to the station, and they were very hidden. Later, I immediately reported to my superiors based on some abnormal behaviors of Regiment Commander Wu and the guard platoon......"

It was only then that Chiang Kai-shek understood what was going on.

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has continuously sent spies to China, infiltrating all aspects of Chinese society, and many Chinese young people have also studied in Japan, such as the former Prime Minister Mr. Nakayama, the generation of literary heroes Mr. Lu Xun, and Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek was not particularly surprised by this kind of thing, and the only thing he was surprised about was that this kind of thing could also happen on the territory of the New Second Army, which was heavily fortified.

Chiang Kai-shek asked Wu Ming: "Commander Wu, how are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

"Catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed! I would like to ask the Chairman to give me a little time, and I will take care of this matter properly. Wu Ming said.

"Alright then, I hope you don't live up to my expectations and eliminate all security risks!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded.

Wu Ming saluted and immediately turned to leave.

Looking at Wu Ming's figure in a hurry, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of Chiang Kai-shek's mouth. Jiang Jingguo blinked his eyes, and after confirming that the smile on his father's face was sincere, he asked puzzledly, "Father, why don't you feel worried at all?" ”

"Since Wu Ming reported this matter to me, it proves that it has nothing to do with him, otherwise he would never be so drawn! In addition, if Wu Ming couldn't even handle this little thing well, he wouldn't have made so many contributions. Chiang Kai-shek took a deep breath: "I came to Quzhou this time, in fact, I was looking for Wu Minghuayuan, and now I see such things happening in the New Second Army, it's really ......."

Chiang Kai-shek did not continue, and the expression on his face became even more strange. Chiang Ching-kuo immediately came to his senses, as the supreme leader of the party-state, Chiang Kai-shek personally went to Mao Liangwu to ask Wu Ming to support weapons and ammunition.

Returning to his office, Wu Ming quickly issued an order, and all regiments of the Independent Division were ordered to withdraw to the temporary garrison of Fangcun, and the two main regiments that were transferred from the 1st Brigade of the New 2nd Division to serve as a guard also changed the garrison from Xiushu Village to Fangcun.

The various organs of the New Second Army are running at a rapid pace like machines running at high speed.

Regarding Wu Ming's arrangement, Zhang Ying, the head of the operations section, was quite worried: "Military seat, you only transfer two regiments to disarm the independent regiment, is it too little?" ”

"It's quite a lot, Ma Zhu said, there are only more than fifty devils mixed into the team over there, and I believe that most of the officers and soldiers are in the dark!"

Wu Ming took a sip of tea and said with self-reproach: "I've been busy lately, due to the chaos of the various departments due to the expansion of the troops, plus the veterans attracted from other troops, as well as the new recruits who have joined the army, there are fresh faces everywhere, which has created opportunities for Japanese devils, it really shouldn't be!" ”

"Don't blame yourself, Junza."

Zhang Ying was very optimistic: "Junzao, what do you think, the Japanese devils have always worshiped heroes and paid attention to destroying their opponents openly on the battlefield, but now they are engaging in these conspiracies, doesn't it indirectly prove that they are not our opponents?" ”

"Hey, that's what you say!"

Wu Ming smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, I'll go and see those little devils in person, Niang Xipi, dare to go to Maoliangwu to spread wild, it's really the birthday boy who hanged himself impatiently!" ”

"Junzuo, this matter should be handled by Yin Dizhong, the commander of the independent division!" Zhang Ying was a little worried about Wu Ming's safety.

"It's okay, I know how to do it!"

After speaking, Wu Ming went out.

######

The independent regiment received the order to return to the station, Wu Zhe was restless and suspicious, he found Nomura Nakasa, pointed to the order in his hand and asked, "Tell me, has our plan been seen through?" ”

Nomura Nakasa's brows frowned slightly, looking at Wu Zhe's greed for life and fear of death, he was extremely disdainful, but now that they were sitting in the same boat, Nomura Nakasaku couldn't bear the hatred in his heart, and explained with a smile:

"Captain Wu, don't worry...... You see this order, not only our 1st Independent Regiment returned to the station, but the other two regiments of the Independent Division, as well as the two regiments of the New 2nd Division responsible for the vigilance mission, all returned to the station. You're going to have to hold your breath! ”

"You tell me how to calm down, you don't understand!"

Wu Zhe cried and said with a frightened face: "If we let the military seat know the truth, or if someone finds out that something is wrong, we will die and have no place to be buried!"

"Wu Sang, don't worry, the whole plan is seamless, and we will definitely succeed." Nomura Nakasa looked left and right and whispered comfort.

"Before, you said that you would assassinate Chiang Kai-shek, but now you dare to assassinate our military seat, even if the most reckless plan is successful, the angry officers and soldiers will tear us apart! What a pack of wolves you are! Wu Zhe stomped his feet hatefully and stared at Nomura, his eyes about to erupt.

Nomura Nakasa put away his smile and said coldly: "Wu Sang, now that you have come this far, if you don't want to do it, think about your wife and children, and your family!" You say, just if you kill a few of your subordinates, will your most respected Commander Wu Ming spare you? You betrayed him, betrayed the new second army, in addition to shooting you, he will also kill all of your family to vent your anger, think about it! ”

When Nomura Nakasa said this, Wu Zhe sat on the ground weakly and sighed: "One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, alas......"

"Okay, Wu Sang, you better gather your troops quickly and return to the temporary station in Fangcun! There is no chance today, but tomorrow will always be able to get your wish, the so-called good things are grinding, indicating that we are not far from success! Look, the other troops have begun to withdraw, and we will be suspicious if we don't leave. ”

Nomura Nakasa forcibly dragged Wu Zhe up, with a stern face. Wu Zhe cried and mourned, quickly gathered his troops, took a step, and rushed to Fangcun singing military songs.

In the dense forest halfway up the mountainside next to the road, a person's head is exposed, and he holds a telescope to carefully examine the independent mass that is gradually moving away. Seeing that the troops were far away, he turned around and beckoned not far away. The three soldiers prostrate themselves, trotted all the way to the previous person, grabbed the binoculars, saw the troops in the distance, and asked worriedly: "Third brother, now that the regiment commander is leaving with the troops, what should we do?" ”

"What to do, didn't you listen to the radio? Our Chinese nation is great, and a great nation should have a great leader...... We should be here to help. The regiment commander was right, after a series of battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, it was shown that Chiang Kai-shek was indeed an incompetent man and was not worthy of leading China at all, and we must kill him. ”

He Sanbao, the squad leader of the recruits, analyzed triumphantly, then glanced at the three people in front of him, and asked, "It's too late for you to regret it now, you can follow the troops and return to the station." ”

"Don't say it, let's follow you and assassinate Lao Jiang together." The three of them replied in unison.

"This is my good brother!"

He Sanbao shook his head and said: "You all give me a good listen, as long as we kill Lao Jiang and become the supreme leader of China, then we are meritorious men from the dragon, which is unspeakably expensive...... Walk! ”
