There are no impermeable walls

Chen Yanhua sighed secretly in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he said sternly: "I'm afraid not."

County Elder Zhou was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Chen Yanhua turned his head and asked, "First battalion commander, tell me, what should you do after capturing materials on the battlefield?" ”

Battalion Commander Luo raised his head, and his voice was sonorous and powerful: "According to battlefield discipline, all things captured will be returned to the public, and no one is allowed to take them for themselves."

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yanhua's mouth: "County Magistrate Zhou, you should understand, right?" Although those things came from Chongde County, they belonged to the battlefield seizures, if we returned the county magistrate Zhou without authorization, but our new second division will have a reputation for military law and strict military discipline, so please forgive Chen for not returning the capture. ”

Zhou Zhendong's face was pale, and one of the people behind him was angry, and scolded in a low voice: "What a bunch of ruffians."

Chen Yanhua didn't seem to hear it, sighed, and bowed his hand to Zhou Zhendong, squeezing out a trace of shame on his face: "Actually, those things are not very valuable, and I am afraid that they add up to less than 10,000 legal currency, so it is not impossible to return them to Guixian...... Just give us an order. ”

Zhou Zhendong sneered, his eyes fixed on Chen Yanhua: "I heard that the group of routs robbed the arsenal of the British Rite and Foreign Company in Chang'an Town...... What I want to ask is, if the foreigners from Lihe and the foreign company come, will Captain Chen also ask them to ask for it from your teacher? ”

Chen Yanhua was extremely disdainful in his heart, this Zhou Zhendong probably thought that he was as afraid of foreigners as he was, so he took out the signboard of the British Rite and the Foreign Company to pressure himself, where did he know that he was trying to beat the idea of foreigners at this moment. Chen Yanhua's face turned a little colder, and he patted his cuffs lightly:

"We are soldiers in accordance with the rules and regulations, and we only have comrades-in-arms and enemies in our eyes, and there is no distinction between foreigners and natives at all, let alone being a slave of foreigners."

Zhou Zhendong's face became more and more ugly, and his ability to become the magistrate of Chongde County after returning from studying in Japan was also the result of closely following the Japanese and exerting his strength through the high-level pro-Japanese faction in Nanjing. Therefore, Zhou Zhendong is very sensitive to the word "slave".

"Why do you say it so badly...... In my early years, I studied at the Imperial University of Japan, and Chairman Chiang, the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government, Chairman Wang, and Minister He also studied in Japan. Zhou Zhendong snorted coldly: "Now the Japanese army has come to eastern Zhejiang...... Captain Chen, it's good to leave a line in work"

"No need, County Magistrate Zhou should bring back your knowledge of governing the world and how to do things to educate your children

However, I would like to remind you that for those traitors and traitors, our new Second Division will not be soft."

Faced with such a guy with the label of a Japanese on his forehead and threatening himself with the Japanese army, Chen Yanhua really didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, and ordered the battalion commander next to him: "Luo Ling, you immediately take someone to empty the idle people within two kilometers of the factory now, and if there are any unrelated people who come to disturb him, they will all be greeted with bullets."

After speaking, Chen Yanhua turned around in a dashing manner, ignored Zhou Zhendong, who was desperate and shouted that he would report to the Nanjing government to severely punish the warlords who had plagued the locality, and returned to the factory.

Subsequently, the soldiers drove away the county magistrate Zhou and others, who had repeatedly protested.

About an hour later, Yang Dapan of the Hangzhou branch of Lihe & Co. and people from the Haining County Government came to the location of Chen Yanhua's regiment, but they could not get close to the newly demarcated military restricted area, but were frightened away by the officers and soldiers who fired warning shots into the sky.

When Zhou Zhendong's letter of protest reached the new Second Division, it was already the evening of 12 November

Zhang Dongning, who received the telegram, did not dare to slack off, and hurried to find Wu Ming.

More than 90 years ago, the British opened the door to China with guns and cannons, and the attitude of the Chinese people towards Europe and the United States and other countries underwent earth-shaking changes, and both former Qing officials and members of the Republic of China bowed to the great powers of Britain, France, the United States, and Japan.

"Dongning, sit down, drink saliva and then speak" Seeing Zhang Dongning, whose lips were bubbling with anxiety, Wu Ming waved his hand disapprovingly, and motioned for the guards to bring tea.

Zhang Dongning didn't care about drinking water, and pointed to the telegram with his finger: "Master, the British are here...... He said that we had robbed their warehouse, and if we did not give an explanation, they would sue the Nanking government and ask the chairman to punish us severely. ”

"Then let them go and sue them, am I still afraid of them?" Wu Ming was very disdainful of Lihe's tough attitude.

Seeing that Wu Ming despised the British so much, Zhang Dongning smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Master, although we don't need to be afraid of the British, but at present, China and Japan have become mortal enemies, and if the Nationalist Government wants to survive, it must rely on the assistance of the international community." In order not to offend the British government, Nanking will certainly try by all means to appease the anger of the British. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Military Commission and the Ministry of Military Affairs make some fuss about our military salaries, we will suffer a big loss. Moreover, Chairman Chiang, who had recently returned to Nanjing from Suzhou, had been looking forward to the mediation of the European powers, and we were likely to be pushed out as scapegoats. ”

Wu Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "What did Chen Yanhua say over there?" ”

Zhang Dongning handed a telegram to Wu Ming: "The first regiment of the supplementary brigade has copied the arsenal of Lihe and the foreign bank, and through the general class of the foreign bank, they have found out the location of several other arsenals, and plan to act tonight......

"These bunnies, one is more daring than the other"

Wu Ming smiled and scolded angrily. Zhang Dongning was a little speechless, Wu Ming had no intention of stopping Chen Yanhua, this move was tantamount to playing with fire.

Compared with Zhang Dongning's anxiety, Wu Ming is very optimistic.

At present, the pattern of the world has changed greatly, the Spanish Civil War is in the ascendant, the Germans are engaged in wind and rain in Europe, and the source of war in Europe is taking shape. The Japanese simply ignored the meeting of the Nine-Power Pact, which aimed to ensure China's sovereignty and sovereign integrity, and even the British Government had no time to take care of the bombing of the special car of the British ambassador to China, Ugson, who had no time to deal with the small actions of the New Second Division?

Wu Ming pointed to the telegram and said with a smile: "Dongning, you send a telegram to Chen Yanhua now, and let them act as soon as possible...... After the most difficult operation, it is better to break up in front of everyone-"

"Master, do you mean to put the blame on the rout?" Zhang Dongning hesitated a little: "If someone is interested in tracking it down, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it."

Wu Ming shook his head: "You have fallen into the grass, don't you know that bullying and concealing the upper and lower is a compulsory course for officials?" We just have to give each other a step down...... Our army captured the flag of the 150th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the total number of devils killed before and after was six or seven thousand, and it also sent 1,000 Japanese prisoners of war to Nanjing twice. ”

Zhang Dongning wanted to say something more, but Wu Ming waved his hand: "Dongning, you sort out the achievements of our department and re-report it to the Military Commission." ”

"Okay"

Zhang Dongning hesitated, finally nodded, and turned to leave. Wu Ming was a little helpless, and said in his heart that Zhang Dongning was getting older, but his courage was getting smaller and smaller.

Nanjing, the belly of Fugui Mountain, China's supreme command.

With the public display of the Japanese prisoners of war and the military flags of the wing at the Nanjing Stadium yesterday, the 50,000 soldiers and civilians in the capital who attended the meeting were jubilant.

It's just that Wu Ming and his new second division have just been rewarded, and most of the generals have been promoted to the next level, obviously it is impossible to be promoted to the rank of official, in this case, Chiang Kai-shek had to order the allocation of 100,000 legal currency as a reward, but compared to the huge military achievements, such a reward is so small, so Chiang Kai-shek felt a little guilty.

When the telegram of appeal from the Fenli and foreign banks and the Chongde county government was transmitted back to the base camp in the evening, Chiang Kai-shek, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the banditry behavior of the new Second Division, did not express anything.

Chiang Kai-shek was a brilliant statesman with a far better grasp of human nature than the average man, and after decades of struggle, he nominally unified a divided China. Wu Ming's little caution, how could Chiang Kai-shek not understand? Although it was obvious at a glance that Wu Ming was behind the ghost, Chiang Kai-shek at this time did not intend to deal with Wu Ming and his new second division harshly.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and there were five calls from Lihe Foreign Bank, and several warehouses were suddenly attacked by the rout almost simultaneously during the night, and the materials and ordnance in Jiaxing, Wangdian, Kipshi, Xieqiao, Yuhang, and other places were looted.

If it had been put forward a week ago, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely have curried favor with the British by punishing the new Second Division, but now that the war situation in Shanghai has been completely eroded, the League of Nations can no longer count on it for a while, and the authority of the British has completely lost its former authority under the crushing of Japanese planes and artillery.

However, Wu Ming's new Second Division was completely different, as soon as it arrived at the Songhu battlefield, it was at the two major military fortresses in the downtown area of Shanghai, and cooperated with the air force to almost completely annihilate the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and later encircled and annihilated the Japanese 150th Wing in the anti-Japanese landing operation in Hangzhou Bay, and captured a military flag, which was of great political significance. Just the day before yesterday, the New 2nd Division once again thwarted the attack of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, annihilating most of the wing, and became famous all over the world.

There are not many bright spots on the Songhu battlefield, and it becomes more and more obvious that Wu Ming and his new second division stand out. With such a fierce general and a capable army, how could Chiang Kai-shek dare to punish him at will?

Qian Dajun, who was standing on the side, finished reading the telegram, and his face was full of anger: "Commission, Wu Ming has won a few battles, and his tail has gone up to the sky, and now at this time, he actually ran to provoke the British, I think I have to call the whole army for serious criticism and let them reflect deeply." ”

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, and was silent.

Seeing Chiang Kai-shek's embarrassed face, Qian Dajun said again: "Commission, Wu Mingjiao is difficult to tame丨If you don't restrict it now, I'm afraid that the more time goes on, the more you can't control them."

Chiang Kai-shek's heart tightened.

Qian Dajun's words were to the point, Wu Ming and his new Second Division were unique, although they also belonged to the Central Army system, they were self-contained, and the needle could not be inserted into the water and splashed, which made Chiang Kai-shek vigilant.

However, Chiang Kai-shek still felt that it was not easy to move the people too much at this time, so he raised his hand: "Mu Yin, you don't care about this matter, I'll ask Lin Wei to call for one or two." ”

Chiang Kai-shek's employment has always been divided and controlled, just like using Chen Cheng to confront He Yingqin, and at the same time letting Lin Weilai share the power of Qian Dajun, and Chiang Kai-shek sitting firmly on the throne, this is the ancient imperial art in reality.

However, in the face of Wu Ming and his fierce army, Chiang Kai-shek really couldn't find any good way, the most important of which was that Wu Ming was not a descendant of Whampoa, and he was not loyal to him as the chairman of the committee.

This Wu Ming, like a stone in a pit, stinky and hard, can't be moved and can't be moved, but he has a remarkable record, which makes Chiang Kai-shek have a headache.
