Central News Agency, 28 Mar -- Chairman Chiang met with the ambassadors of Germany, Italy, and France to China in Beijing to explore the attitudes and opinions of various countries toward Japan's aggression against China. German Ambassador Todmann said, "The German-Japanese defense agreement has nothing to do with the current situation between China and Japan." Italian Ambassador Ke rebuked that Italy had pre-empted the role of a third party as a mediator or mediator. French Ambassador Nazia said that the French side is extremely concerned about the situation between China and Japan, and has already contacted Britain and the United States to take up the role, but the United States seems to be unwilling to take joint action. ”

Maoliangwu military quarter, Wu house living room.

The radio speaker clearly transmitted the actual news broadcast by Phoenix Radio, and Wu Ming gently stroked Wang Yuehan's bulging waist.

Wang Yuehan was five months pregnant, and her belly was already obvious, and Wu Ming gently accompanied his beloved wife to talk

Fang Zhichun on the side hugged his youngest son Fang Chenghei, silent, and wanted to open his mouth several times, but swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.

The atmosphere in the room is tranquil and warm, and if you look closely, you can detect the reluctance of the women.

Last night, Wu Ming received an order jointly issued by the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters to open to the front line in Jiaxing, and the big stone in Wu Ming's heart was finally put down.

Zhu Wenhua, deputy chief of the Intelligence Section of the New Second Division, who had rushed to Shanghai from Ningbo, eastern Zhejiang, sent the latest information: The day after the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, ordered the end of the military exercises being conducted in the waters near Taiwan and marched toward Shanghai. Three days later, the Third Fleet sailed into Shanghai, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi summoned a meeting of the Japanese Embassy's Navy Atta Honda, Army Attache Kita, Third Fleet Chief of Staff Sugiyama, and Marine Corps Commander Okochi.

The next day, the Japanese troops and overseas Japanese stationed in Shanghai began to carry out sabotage and provocation activities to wash away the humiliation suffered by the Japanese volunteers in the defeat of the attack on the Chinese border in Zhabei three months earlier. Shanghai now is like a huge powder keg, which may explode at any time.

At this moment, Wu Ming was saying goodbye to the two ladies, he told Wang Yuehan to take good care of himself, and told Fang Zhichun to take good care of the children, no matter how big or small, he explained everything clearly.

Suddenly, the two children pushed open the door and threw themselves into Wu Ming's arms. Wang Zemin raised his head and asked Wu Ming, "Dad, are you going to fight the Japanese devils?" ”

"Yes, Dad is going to the front line to fight the Japanese devils" Wu Ming nodded with a smile and touched the little heads of the two children.

The story of the Japanese devils came from the Phoenix radio station, and in a short period of time, listeners in Quzhou and even most parts of the country began to call the Japanese soldiers Japanese devils.

Wu Ming squatted down, hugged a pair of children into his arms, rubbed his cheeks, and then kissed him left and right, and then ordered: "Dad is about to go to the battlefield, you stay at home, you must listen to your mother's words, do you know the way?" ”

The two children nodded heavily, Fang Ruhua pursed his lips, looked at Wu Ming for a while, and asked, "Dad, when will you come back?" ”

Wu Ming grinned and kissed her little face again: "Dad drove the Japanese devils out of China and came back"

Wang Zemin's little face was a little solemn, his bright eyes blinked, and his eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of fog. He took Wu Ming's hand and shook it vigorously: "Dad, you must come back."

Fang Zhichun put down his youngest son, let him climb on the sofa by himself, and said to the two children: "Okay, your father promised to come back early, Zemin, you take your sister out to play."

Fang Ruhua and Wang Zemin pursed their mouths and didn't say anything more. In Xiao Ruhua's childish heart, his father went out this time as before, and he would come back soon, although Wang Zemin felt that there would be danger, but thinking that his father was so powerful, he temporarily put aside his worries, pulled his sister together, and jumped out of the door to play with his friends.

There were two adults left in the room, a child who was just babbling, and the atmosphere was slightly dreary.

Wu Ming smiled faintly, clapped his hands, picked up his youngest son from the sofa, took a sip of incense at Xiao Chenghei's face, turned to the two women and said:

"Wait a minute, I will rush to the Phoenix Mountain base, and after the meeting, I will rest in the Changshan camp in the evening, and set off with the troops early tomorrow morning to march to the Songhu battlefield. You have to take good care of yourselves at home all the time, don't let me worry"

Although the words were simple, they were not a taste to the ears of the two women. His man was about to go to the front line, Fang Zhichun couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes were flushed: "Will there be danger?" The Japanese devils are very powerful, and the radio said that they slaughtered villages in North China, killed people, and tried to eat human flesh."

Although Wang Yuehan didn't ask anything, she also showed a worried expression on her face.

This is a national war in Songhu, no more than in the past to fight a civil war, the future is uncertain, these days, the two women are worried about their hearts, worried.

Wu Ming gently hugged the two women into his arms, letting them hear his strong and powerful heartbeat, and after a while, he slowly explained:

"Don't worry, your husband is not good at anything else, the last thing he is afraid of is fighting, he has not suffered a loss since joining the army, maybe we will go to the front line, and cooperate with the friendly army to drive the little devil away, and he will come back in a month or two."

Fang Zhichun also wanted to lean into her husband's ear to say a few words, but she was tightly hugged by Wu Ming, so she stopped struggling, and together with Wang Yuehan, she silently leaned on Wu Ming's wide and warm embrace, feeling the warmth of the blood connection between husband and wife.

"Alright, it's time for me to go, the soldiers are waiting for me"

Wu Ming patted the two women's backs, Fang Zhichun and Wang Yuehan's bodies stiffened, and then they hugged Wu Ming's arm tightly, unwilling to let go at all.

"Division, Deputy Director Jiang is here"

Sun Chengyuan rushed in from outside the gate, saw Wu Ming hugging his two delicate wives, stuck out his tongue, and suddenly retreated again.

Fang Zhichun and Wang Yuehan were a little embarrassed, and went upstairs with red faces.

Jiang Jingguo strode in, and as soon as he saw Wu Ming, he hurriedly asked, "Division, is the army about to be pulled out?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Last night, I received an order jointly issued by the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters, and our division will be on standby on the front line in eastern Zhejiang."

When Jiang Jingguo heard the urgency, his brows furrowed: "Master, the whole division has received the order to leave, why did you miss me?" ”

Wu Ming shook his head and persuaded: "Brother Xian, if you go to Songhu, there will be a bloody battle with the Japanese army sooner or later, which can be described as thrilling step by step...... You'd better stay at home."

Jiang Jingguo's face turned red, grabbed Wu Ming's hand, and asked angrily with a pant breath: "Master, isn't Jingguo a member of the new Second Division?" ”

"Of course it is," Wu Ming replied affirmatively.

"Then why did the whole division go to the front, but only Jingguo was left behind? The division seat does not mean that the duty of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, and the stage of performance is the battlefield, why is Jingguo not allowed to set foot on the stage...... Could it be that in the heart of the division, Jingguo has never been regarded as a soldier? ”

Chiang Ching-kuo's tone is very unkind, in his opinion, now that the national disaster is at hand, every Chinese should contribute, as the son of the leader, he shoulders greater responsibilities and should contribute more, how can he hide in the comfortable rear?

Wu Ming didn't know how to answer for a while. Although Chiang Kai-shek did not let him take care of it, Chen Cheng had already called Chiang Ching-kuo to leave Chiang Ching-kuo in the rear, and if Chiang Ching-kuo was allowed to take risks, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely settle accounts with him.

Jiang Jingguo is very human, seeing Wu Ming's face change, he sneered, and there was a strong resentment in his laughter: "Could it be that the master is afraid that I am the son of Chairman Jiang?" ”

Wu Ming's face tightened, and he still didn't know how to answer this question.

Jiang Jingguo's face became more and more ugly: "Jingguo is a member of the new Second Division, if the division insists on refusing to let Jingguo participate in the war against Japan, isn't it equivalent to removing Jingguo from the New Second Division?" In that case, it is better to dismiss Jingguo on the spot now."

Chiang Ching-kuo was a stubborn person, and the bitter experience of studying in Soviet Russia sharpened his will, and it was definitely not what he wanted to shrink in.

Wu Ming admired Jiang Jingguo very much for not being afraid of death, but he couldn't let this guy succeed, he said with a serious face: "Deputy Director Jiang, don't think nonsense, I have a major role in keeping you in Maoliangwu, you...

"Please remove Jingguo from his post now."

Chiang Ching-kuo interrupted Wu Ming's words, and looked intently at his brother, who had been getting along with each other for a month, and had the intention of resigning immediately if he was not allowed to go to the front line with the army.

Wu Ming was a little annoyed and angry, and his years of military career made him gradually develop a vigorous and resolute character, and he was a little uninterested in Jiang Jingguo's angry words. He glared at Jiang Jingguo dissatisfied, and said: "Jianfeng, you are a member of my new Second Division, this is the duty of a soldier who has no objection to obey orders, and this is even more true in my new Second Division. You have to understand that there are people who fight everywhere, but there are very few people who can propagate and agitate. We are fighting the Japanese army on the front line, you are inspiring and mobilizing the masses in the rear, transporting food, grass and ammunition, and it is the best use of the people that you do not feel that mobilizing the people and ensuring the logistics of the troops are insignificant, right? ”

"It's-"

Chiang Ching-kuo was stunned, in the era of cold weapons, there was a saying that soldiers and horses went first before grain and grass were moved, not to mention modern warfare, the dependence on logistics has increased infinitely, the transportation of ammunition and materials, the rationing of food, the transfer of the wounded and sick to the rear, and so on, all of which are indispensable.

During the civil war in the Soviet Union, the quality of the Red officers and men, the weapons and equipment, and the tactical accomplishment of the commanders were far inferior to those of the White Army and the Yu Shi Army organized by the foreign powers, but with the propaganda and agitation of the Red Army and its powerful logistics, the White Army and the Yu Shi Army were defeated in less than three years, and a powerful Soviet alliance was established, which shows the importance of organization and logistics

"Okay, Brother Jianfeng, now our cause needs you to sit in western Zhejiang and contribute your greatest strength to the country and the nation."

Wu Ming sighed and continued: "You also know that western Zhejiang is the rear base of our new Second Division, and Maoliangwu has an arsenal to support our long-term operations, which is of great significance. ”

"But ......"

Jiang Jingguo still wanted to go on the battlefield, but as soon as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Wu Ming: "Brother Xian, although Japan has a small territory, after more than 50 years of development, it is already one of the most powerful countries in the world today. I am not optimistic about the next battles in North China and Shanghai, the Nationalist Army said that there will not necessarily be a big rout, and our new Second Division will also be impacted in this case, we must retain enough strength in western Zhejiang to be able to replenish the frontline at any time...... I gave you the task of staying in Quzhou, which is a trust in you, and I hope that the virtuous brother will not let me down."

Wu Ming's earnest words suddenly made Jiang Jingguo feel that he had a heavy responsibility, he thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded heavily: "Okay, since my brother trusts Jingguo so much, Jingguo will definitely not let my brother down."

At this time, Sun Chengyuan came in to report that the car was ready, Wu Ming took Jiang Jingguo's hand and went out and then got into the car parked at the gate of the courtyard. The car drove into the gate of the Phoenix Mountain base, and there was a clear sound of shouting and killing on the playground, and there was a scene of training in full swing everywhere. The morale of the soldiers is high, and they can be pulled into battle at any time.

Half of this is due to Chiang Ching-kuo's propaganda.

The soldiers usually train very hard, listen to the radio every day in their leisure time, not only relax their mood, but also cultivate patriotic sentiments, Luo Yuming once told Wu Ming that after listening to the radio, the soldiers are more obedient to orders, and the relationship between officers and soldiers is more harmonious.

Chiang Ching-kuo's ability is very strong, no wonder he was able to drive Taiwan's economy to take off in that time and space.

Along the way, Wu Ming explained to Chiang Ching-kuo that the propaganda work could not be relaxed, and if necessary, he could organize a propaganda group to go deep into the rural areas of western Zhejiang and eastern Jiangxi to explain the significance of the War of Resistance to the vast number of peasants and mountain people, so as to pave the way for a larger-scale conscription in the future.
