When the convoy came to Shangzhuang Bridge in the south of Daqiao Town, and saw the fortification group going from northwest to southeast, Wu Ming hurriedly called for a stop, ready to personally inspect the Zhajia defense fortifications that had been basically completed.

According to the redesign of the engineering department of the new Second Division, the entire Zhajia defense fortifications were formed along the river with reinforced concrete machine gun forts and battle defense artillery forts as the backbone, with the war civil fortifications as the main body, plus the preparation for laying mines before the war.

Among them, the firing hole on the front of the heavy machine gun fort adopts the outer figure-eight, the firing angle is 90 degrees, the thickness of the front wall is one meter, the thickness of the roof and side walls of the fort is 750 mm, and the thickness of the rear wall is 500 mm; The firing holes on the sides are in the shape of an inner figure-eight, the firing angle is seventy degrees, and the thickness of the wall is the same as the former.

The firing angle of the battle fort was seventy degrees, the thickness of the roof and front walls was one meter, the thickness of the side walls was seven hundred and fifty millimeters, and the thickness of the rear walls was five hundred millimeters. The fort is equipped with an observation chamber with an observation mouth of 60 degrees and an outer figure-of-eight shape.

Bunkers are set up between machine gun forts and anti-aircraft artillery forts, and bunkers are characterized by small size, easy to conceal, simple structure, and quantity over quality.

In addition, the permanent fortifications also have a concealment department and an ammunition depot, all of which are located underground, of which the concealment section can accommodate half a platoon of people to rest, and will be used as a command post in the future.

All of these buildings have only one entrance, and the doors are made of steel sheets.

In front of the permanent fortifications, there are field fortifications, the main body of which is a howling ditch four meters deep and six meters wide, a three-meter-high position prototype formed by dug earth, and various bunkers behind the field position. At present, except for the roads and near residential areas, no construction has been started, and the rest of the sites have been constructed, and unrelated people are prohibited from approaching.

From Jiaxing to Zhapu, along the Pinghu Pond through the East Peng, the Bridge, Xinfeng to the East Lake of Pinghu, and then from the East Lake to the south, along the Zhapu Pond through Shajiabang, Yan Binbang, Shijiabang to Zhapu, Niuqiao, Jiulong Mountain, a total length of 42 kilometers, has been and will be built 425 reinforced concrete forts, generally in a group of three to build, the front one after the two configuration.

As for the fortifications built along the reservoir and Shanghai pond from Jiashan to Pinghu, they were built by the 39th Fujian Army, which was a semi-descendant of the Central Army stationed in Jiaxing and Jiashan.

After the inspection, Wu Ming was very happy, fully affirmed the work of Long Shaogang and Yin Di, and then got into the car, and half an hour later arrived at the Shirenbang camp in the south of Xinfeng Town, this barracks covers an area of about 100 acres, and has a large school field of 50 acres

Wu Ming was very satisfied with the sunset, and went up to the high platform to deliver an exciting speech, encouraging the officers and men to continue to strengthen their training and be ready to fight on the Songhu battlefield at any time.

After finishing his speech, Wu Ming ordered the canteen to add food tonight, and praised the efforts of Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong Colonels.

Dai Ziran asked puzzledly: "Deputy Division Commander Long, I counted just now, there are only three regiments, where is the other regiment?" ”

Long Shaogang smiled, but turned his gaze to Yin Dizhong, the commander of the supplementary brigade.

Yin Dizhong knew that Deputy Division Commander Lu Daolong wanted to let himself perform well in front of the division commander, so he introduced the training arrangements for the supplementary brigade.

It turned out that after the supplementary brigade arrived in Pinghu, Long Shaogang discussed with Yin Dizhong and decided to build national defense fortifications during the day and train troops at night, but after a period of implementation, it was found that the effect was not good. The officers and men were already very tired from working during the day, and they still came to train for several hours at night, and they complained of misery for a while.

This is not an option, and Long Shaogang is not allowed to convene an enlarged meeting of the whole brigade with officers at or above the company commander level in attendance. At the end of the meeting, a decision was made to adopt the method of rotational training, with one battalion from each regiment assigned to each regiment for intensive training every week, and an assessment would be conducted at the end of each week's training.

Combining the results of training and building fortifications, the regiment with the best performance was given one day off a week, and the other three regiments helped to complete the construction task.

In this way, both the construction of fortifications and training have been taken into account, and the enthusiasm of the officers and men for training has suddenly increased.

Today is the rest day of the third supplementary regiment that won last week, and early in the morning, Wang Shuhuan, the commander of the supplementary third regiment, dragged people to the Jiulongshan area for special training, and there was no way to notify them, so there was one less regiment on the school field.

Wu Ming was very happy after listening to the report, and after careful observation from the high platform just now, he found that the officers and men were full of energy, their morale was like a rainbow, and their military quality had improved a lot compared with a few months ago.

"Okay, very good, you guys are very good, you have successfully completed the tasks assigned by the division headquarters, all the officers and men are good, and they are worthy of the people of our new second division."

On behalf of the division headquarters, Wu Ming fully affirmed the outstanding achievements of Lieutenant General Long Shaogang and Yin Di, and did not hesitate to praise the performance of the officers and men of the four supplementary regiments.

Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Wu Ming was about to go to Zhapu to see the coastal defense fortifications, and just came to the gate of the camp, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit, a white tie, and gold-wire glasses swaggered over, followed by more than 20 men with traitor heads, green shirts, and horse coats, and shell guns around their waists.

The middle-aged man came to the gate of the camp five or six meters in front of Wu Ming and was stopped by the officers and soldiers on duty. The middle-aged man's nostrils were facing the sky, and his pale face was full of arrogance with excessive indulgence, he ignored the star officer, nor did he pay attention to Wu Ming, who was dressed in a simple training, and said loudly to Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong: "Deputy Division Commander Long, Brigade Commander Yin, I finally met you...... Let's talk? ”

Wu Ming's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong with a cold face, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire.

This camp is part of the national defense fortifications and belongs to the military control area, and such a high-flying guy with a ruffian and hooligan directly broke in, which is simply a child's play with military regulations and military discipline.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Wu Ming popped out such a sentence from between his teeth, and his eyes showed obvious disappointment.

Before Long Shaogang could explain, the middle-aged man was already impatient, stepped forward, and shouted at Long Shaogang, who was standing in the barracks:

"Deputy Master Long, Lao Tzu asked you to come out, did you hear that?" Seeing that Long Shaogang didn't react, but instead leaned in front of an ordinary soldier and was about to speak, he suddenly stretched out his finger angrily and shouted: "Long Shaogang, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, and you don't give a clear answer, Lao Tzu...... I'm going crazy

Wu Ming laughed when he heard this, walked out of the camp gate directly, and said to the middle-aged man in the salute of the officers and soldiers of the left and right guards: "May I ask this gentleman, which one are you?" This is a military control zone, so please take someone out of here. When we go back and let our master see it, we will arrest you. ”

"Hmph-"

The middle-aged man's face was full of disdain, he shook his shiny head with oil, and became more and more arrogant, and his tone was bigger than the sky: "What is a mere division commander?" Even if he stands in front of Lao Tzu, he has to lick Lao Tzu's heels obediently. ”

"Our Second Master Kong is a good man"

"That's right, lick it to your division commander, that's for the sake of him leading the troops, and don't look at Huang Shao, the former triumvirate of the Gui family and the current chairman of Zhejiang Province, please see our Second Master Kong, and he doesn't want to deal with him."

Huang Shao is also a parent official in Zhejiang Province, and the top boss of his eldest brother Fang Youchun, these hooligans dare to behave like this, which makes Wu Ming more and more angry. He sneered and teased: "Ouch, you guys are really toads yawning, and your tone is not small."

The middle-aged man named Kong Erye was proud, and said with his head held high: "If it weren't for my eldest brother coming forward to intercede, how could Chairman Jiang let Huang Shao, a Guangxi boy, be the chairman of Zhejiang Province?" Go home early and nibble on sweet potatoes

Wu Ming's face turned cold, and Long Shaogang in the back took the opportunity to step forward and whispered to Wu Ming: "This person is the cousin of Kong Xiangxi, the former president of the Executive Yuan, a native of Taigu County, Jin Province, his real name is Kong Xianglong, nicknamed Kong Erye, this time our division is responsible for rebuilding the Zhajia defense fortifications, this guy came to sell building materials, but I have checked it, and the materials he sent are all inferior products, and they can't be used at all, so they all went back."

Wu Ming's face softened, thinking that no wonder this guy was so awesome and coaxing, it seemed that he really had something to rely on behind him

Kong Xiangxi, the former president of the Executive Yuan, who is now visiting Europe, is Chiang Kai-shek's brother-in-law, and his wife Soong Ailing and his sister Soong Meiling have a deep relationship, plus he is in charge of Chiang Kai-shek's money bags, so it can be said that he is a real person with real power.

Now Kong Xiangxi's family is in a foreign country, but they have reached out to their own one-third of an acre, which makes Wu Ming disdainful, and he is more and more disgusted by this sudden appearance of Kong Erye.
