"This is a great word"

Wu Ming patted his thigh happily: "President Xu is far-sighted, and today's words made Wu Mou Mao suddenly ...... In fact, Wu did not want to embarrass the merchants and landlords and squires in Quzhou and the surrounding areas, but the war was imminent, and the traitors and traitors passed on the information of our new Second Division to the Japanese.

"General Wu can be anxious about what others are anxious about, be reasonable, and will become a generation of famous generals," Xu Zhixiang praised.

Hearing Xu Zhixiang pat his ass, Wu Ming smiled: "Where is it, President Xu has won the award" After laughing, Wu Ming frowned: "In the past week, Quzhou and the surrounding prefectures have arrested a total of 1,100 suspects, and the younger generation doesn't want to kill them all...... However, if these people who have committed the felony of treason are exalted and lightly exposed, it is really not conducive to punishing future generations, and if they can spare all their wealth to contribute to the war of resistance and atone for their crimes, it is naturally the best."

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Zhixiang stood up: "General Wu, then let's make up our minds, and I'll let them prepare money to fund the new Second Division to fight the war when I go back."

Wu Ming naturally welcomed this.

During the week-long anti-traitor operation, the intelligence department copied more than 4 million legal currency, more than 3 million oceans, and 2 million legal currencies worth European and American currencies from Japanese trading companies and traitor industries, plus a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, Wu Ming's pockets had already swelled.

However, the families of those traitors who betrayed the country and sought glory have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have spread all over the country, and the funds that can be mobilized are definitely far greater than this number.

Wu Ming smiled and stood up: "Everything will trouble President Xu."

Wu Mingle sent Xu Zhixiang out of the door, thought about not wanting to be ruined by the families of those traitors, and directly took Sun Chengyuan to the exercise ground at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain to inspect the training there! The situation of the 1st Brigade,

The 1st Brigade has returned from training in urban street fighting in the Kaihua Battalion, and the officers and men of the two regiments are currently conducting confrontation exercises at Fenghuang Mountain.

Han Tiecheng, the commander of the first regiment, and Fan Daoquan, the commander of the second regiment, pinned each other, one attacked and the second regiment defended, and they fought vigorously, which made Wu Ming very satisfied.

Although Wu Ming did not know when western Zhejiang fell, the Japanese army's equipment and individual quality advantages were obvious, and Wu Ming believed that he and the new second division could only rely on the Phoenix Mountain Arsenal to deal with the Japanese army in the mountains and forests of western Zhejiang and eastern Jiangxi.

If guerrilla warfare is to be carried out, it is necessary to disperse the troops, and the quality of commanders at all levels is very important, and this exercise is to prepare in advance for the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression to enter a stalemate stage.

At the end of the exercise, Han Tiecheng and Fan Daoquan came to Wu Ming's side, and after standing up and saluting, they asked him to comment, Wu Ming waved his hand, saying that his trip was purely for observation, and let the first brigade summarize by itself. Luo Yuming, commander of the First Brigade, immediately convened a meeting of officers at all levels, and Lieutenant Colonel Lu Dazhong, chief of staff, organized a discussion.

During the whole exercise, Han Tiecheng was thick and thin, leading a regiment on a rampage, as arrogant as a bison, but he could keenly perceive the counterattack made by the second regiment during the defense, and commanded the troops to switch to the defense at the right time, and at the same time interspersed on both flanks, preparing to gather and annihilate the counterattack troops of the second regiment. Fan Daoquan commanded calmly, and seeing that the first regiment had plans to marry and annihilate the headquarters, he urgently ordered the forward to retreat, and then worked hard to find a loophole in the first regiment.

After Luo Yuming finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ming, Wu Ming did not express his position, but proposed to go and see the soldiers. Luo Yuming naturally would not refuse the commander's request, like a little tail, followed Wu Ming deep among the officers and soldiers of the first and second regiments. The equality of officers and soldiers has always been the tradition of the new Second Division, and this time, Wu Ming saw the 137 soldiers of a regiment of sharp knife companies, and saw that they were in a good mental state, and they were screaming one by one to surpass the two spy companies under the command of Lu Kuiyuan, Wu Ming was very satisfied.

At this time, the top soldiers selected from the Maoliangwu militia and recruits have already begun to conduct devilish training in the mountains and forests of eastern Jiangxi under the guidance of the elite soldiers and strong generals drawn from the special service company and the instructors of the Phoenix Mountain base.

The sky is full of colorful clouds, and the tired birds think of returning.

Wu Ming was about to return to the division headquarters, Luo Yuming took Wu Ming's hand, his dark face tightened, and asked in a low voice: "Master, when can we go to the battlefield?" ”

"What's wrong?" Wu Ming asked with a frown.

Luo Yuming smiled: "Now the latest news in North China is broadcast on the radio every day, and the soldiers are very angry when they hear it, and they have asked for war and want to go to the front line to fight devils."

Wu Ming waved his hand: "You just have to train the soldiers well, and there will be battles for you in the future." After speaking, Wu Ming got into the car and drove away.

On the way back, Wu Ming felt heavy, how many people came back to fight in ancient times, if the new second division went to the battlefield, how many people would be able to go home alive? No one knows what to do

Wu Ming returned to the division headquarters, thought about it and called the Second Brigade training at the Kaihua base.

The training of the Second Brigade has also ended, and now it is holding a summary meeting, when Yang Sixian was stunned when he heard Wu Ming's voice, he asked excitedly: "Is it that the troops are going to set off to fight devils?" ”

Wu Ming frowned, why are they in a hurry to go to the battlefield? He said: "Wait for the order of the military committee, Lao Yang, how is the training of the troops now?" ”

Yang Si was a little disappointed at first, and then hurriedly reported: "The situation is good, after a week of street fighting training, the officers and soldiers are basically familiar with the essentials of urban warfare, and know how to fight the enemy under the condition of protecting themselves, especially the new weapons and new equipment, which makes everyone refreshed, and I believe that the little devil will drink a pot in the future."

"Very good"

Wu Ming said a word of encouragement into the microphone, and said: "Hurry up and train, in two days you will drive to the Phoenix Mountain base for intensive training, and the Kaihua battalion will be temporarily taken over by the first regiment of the supplementary brigade and the new regiment." When you're done training, we'll probably be able to go to Shanghai to fight."

"Okay"

Yang Sixian happily responded: "Master, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they are looking forward to fighting devils on the front line." Don't worry, we won't disgrace you."

Putting down the phone, Wu Ming pondered for a long time and suddenly smiled. It seems that in the past, it was because I was too worried, and a real soldier should show himself on the battlefield, and the old nest in the rear will wear out the sharpness, and now the new second division needs such an opportunity.

Seeing that the time was not early, Wu Ming was about to go home, and Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning turned into Wu Ming's office.

"Division commander, with Chen Keqing's public trial at noon, those die-hard guys finally couldn't bear it, and they expressed their willingness to make meritorious contributions, among which Zeng Lingbao, a wealthy businessman in Lishui, realized some of his family's property and land and sold it to the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, which had been prepared, and received 700,000 oceans, which has been delivered in our money village in Lishui County, and a businessman named Wang Hu in Jinhua also contributed 500,000 oceans......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Dongning handed over an account book.

Wu Ming glanced at it, a little dissatisfied, and raised his eyebrows: "With their net worth, it is estimated that this is less than half of their family property, and they want to buy back their lives with such a little money?" They're guilty of a capital crime, and it's good if they don't let them ruin their homes."

Seeing that Wu Ming's face was wrong, Zhang Dongning hurriedly explained: "The sale of real estate is not something that can be completed overnight, we have estimated that at present, they only come up with so much money The most important thing is that these people have business acumen, and the money can only increase in value in their hands, so we can't dry up and fish."

Wu Ming suddenly understood when he heard this, pointed at Zhang Dongning and said with a smile: "You kid is really bad, you still want to plant crops like that, harvesting stubble after stubble?" ”

Zhang Dongning had a righteous face: "As long as they can change their minds, we will naturally not keep an eye on them, but if they are obsessed and continue to make mistakes, and when they commit crimes again in our hands, they will not be so easy to talk about."

"Okay, tell those criminals, don't leave anything to chance, only by truly showing their repentance can they be forgiven, otherwise they will be judged by the people like Chen Keqing."

Wu Ming said in the end.

After all, as Wu Ming's base camp, what Quzhou and its surrounding areas need most at present is stability, twist the strength of the whole society into a rope, and make concerted efforts to deal with the increasingly severe Sino-Japanese crisis.

Next, Zhang Dongning conveyed Wu Ming's meaning to the imprisoned wealthy merchants, gentry and landlords, with Chen Keqing as an example, coupled with the persuasion of Xu Zhixiang, president of the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce, these traitor lackeys had to bow to the strong Wu Ming, after all, Wu Ming had their ironclad evidence in his hands.

After Chiang Ching-kuo presided over the public trial of Chen Keqing, no one in Quzhou and the surrounding areas talked about Wu Ming's lawlessness, and even the soft bones of the Zhejiang Provincial Government and the Nanjing Central Government who were clamoring for Wu Ming's arrest also closed their mouths with amusement.

Wu Ming handed over two million ocean of stolen money to the central government through Chiang Ching-kuo, and Chiang Kai-shek was very pleased and expressed his support for Wu Ming through Xuan Tiewu, so that Wu Ming was even more fearless.

Within two days, the intelligence department of the New Second Division raised a total of 13.6 million yuan in "ransom" from Quzhou, Jinhua, Lishui, Longquan, Shangrao, and other places, plus 5.5 million oceans of condolences sent to the New Second Division by various chambers of commerce, and in less than 10 days, Wu Ming raised nearly 20 million yuan.

Wu Ming again converted 15 million of them into US dollars and deposited them in Citibank, and of the remaining money, he first took out 3 million yuan to pay off the arrears of medical medicines, equipment, optical equipment, steel, and other raw materials and various fabrics that had already been delivered to the major foreign banks, and then took out another 1 million yuan to pay the major foreign banks in Shanghai and Ningbo as advance payments, and ordered a large number of materials again.

In addition, about 20 million worth of weapons, equipment, and materials that are being contracted are still being secretly delivered to Maoliangwu through smuggling channels.

Just when Wu Ming was looting money and hoarding materials to prepare for the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek made a plan in Nanjing: "Drive the Japanese away from the Yangtze River, confiscate all Japanese merchant ships and warships...... and fight a non-partial but all-out war." At the same time, the situation in North China is becoming more and more severe:

On 18 July, the 20th Division of the DPRK Army arrived in the Pyongjin area.

On 20 July, the troops of the Japanese North China Garrison Army assembled in Miyun, Gaoliying, and other areas near Tianjin and Beiping, and Song Zheyuan ordered the 37th Division to assemble in Xiyuan by means of a secret agreement reached with the Japanese army. The Japanese shelled Wanping County and Changxindian, causing heavy losses to the 37th Division.

On 25 July, the Japanese army unloaded a large number of military supplies at Tanggu Port in Tianjin and transported them to the Fengtai area in 40 vehicles day and night, and by this time, the Japanese army in North China had gathered more than 100,000 people. Immediately, the 11th Squadron of the 77th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army invaded Langfang.

On 26 July, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, Langfang fell, and the defenders retreated to Tongzhou, and on the afternoon of that day, the Japanese army issued an ultimatum to the 29th Army, demanding that the 29th Army withdraw from the Pingjin area. At 19 o'clock in the evening, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army marched into Beiping City by car through Guang'anmen Gate, but was stubbornly blocked by the officers and men of the 29th Army.
