Wu Ming's heart moved, and he hurriedly sorted out his military hat and discipline buckle, tightened the armed belt around his waist and strode to meet it, and when he returned to the exit of the cement avenue leading to the regiment headquarters, the convoy had slowly driven away, and the black car in front of him came to Wu Ming, who was standing and saluting, and stopped.

After Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai got out of the car, they did not give Wu Ming a return salute, but turned sideways and waited for the people in the other car to get down.

Wu Ming saw the appearance of the general who got off the car clearly, and immediately "chuckled" in his heart, and before he had time to think about it, he took two steps forward, raised his hand to salute, and reported loudly:

"Wu Ming, the head of the Fifth Regiment directly under him, salutes Chief Yu!"

Yu Jishi, the new director of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Department, who was wearing a yellow tweed general's official uniform, looked Wu Ming up and down, nodded, and returned the salute kindly:

"I haven't heard much of your Wu Ming's name, and even the two textbooks you compiled have been transmitted to Nanjing, which is amazing! I heard that General Xuan Tiewu and General Leng Xin asked you to go to Nanjing with them to serve as soldiers, but you were unwilling, aren't you still a soldier now? ”

Seeing this scene, Liu Rulin, Ma Zhizhai and the eight lieutenants and officers around them were secretly surprised, and they couldn't figure out how Wu Ming knew Chairman Jiang's favorite generals Xuan Tiewu and Leng Xin.

The shrewd Wu Ming just smiled awkwardly at Yu Jishi, then respectfully turned to the side and saluted Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai again:

"Report to the deputy commander and chief of staff, my subordinates don't know that the commanders are coming, please forgive me for my neglect!"

Liu Rulin replied: "If you are not informed of the rules set before this inspection, Chief Yu and we both want to see the real situation of the garrison troops in various places, and we do not want to be deceived by some deceitful people in the army." Don't think about it, just do what you want. ”

"Yes!"

Wu Ming quickly stood aside, and quietly rolled his eyes at Ma Zhizhai, who was silent with a smile, thinking to himself how much benefit did you guys take from Lao Tzu in Quzhou City, and you didn't even notify me in advance of such a big thing?

Liu Rulin asked Yu Jishi's opinion, smiled and ordered Wu Ming: "Don't enter your regiment headquarters first...... You lead us around to see what is so brilliant about your camp, which has spent 80,000 oceans to repair. ”

"Yes! Chiefs, please. Wu Ming turned sideways and made a "please" posture.

Yu Jishi, Liu Rulin, and Ma Zhizhai looked at each other and smiled, and walked directly to the big playground in front of them.

The officers and men of the four companies who were training did not have the slightest intention of stopping to line up to welcome them, and the personable Yu Jishi was not surprised by this, not only did not feel displeased, but nodded slightly to show his appreciation, and seemed to have a further understanding of Wu Ming, who was highly praised by the Zhejiang military circles.

The generals and colonels walked around the large playground in half a circle under the command of the officers and men to train them, and just came to the back door of the hospital serving the outside world, when the smell of disinfectant water suddenly came to their faces.

Yu Jishi stopped in surprise, turned his head and asked Wu Ming: "This is the location of your regiment's health team?" Why are so many ordinary people coming in and out? ”

"Yes! In order to strengthen the relationship between the military and the people, and also to give the officers and men of the medical corps more opportunities to accumulate experience and improve their professional skills, after discussions, our regiment headquarters decided to open up to the outside world and provide free medical treatment to the sick people in the county town and surrounding areas, and only charge the cost of medicine and not the cost of treatment. Wu Ming explained briefly.

Yu Jishi asked again: "How many doctors do you have in your health team?" How many health soldiers are there? ”

Wu Ming replied truthfully: "There are three medical officers, all of whom graduated from Hangzhou Church Medical College, 36 health soldiers, all of whom have more than one year of regular hospital training experience, and two American surgeons temporarily hired from Hangzhou Church Medical College, who are mainly responsible for training our health soldiers and imparting clinical practical experience. ”

Yu Jishi was quite shocked: "You are not simple! The 88th Division of the Central Army, where I was before, did not have this condition for you, so for what purpose did you establish this health team? ”

Wu Ming groaned slightly, and replied loudly: "Report sir, the cultivation of medical talents is much more difficult than that of other professionals, and we are too backward in this regard, especially in the field of surgery, there is a shortage of talents, if we do not seize the time to prepare in advance, the training and construction of the army will not be guaranteed, once the war comes, I am afraid that many heroic soldiers who could have died will die painfully because they cannot receive timely and effective medical care." ”

Yu Jishi nodded frequently, without saying a word, raised his legs and entered the back door of the hospital, and the generals immediately followed closely.

After looking at the spacious and tidy diagnosis and treatment room, operating room, and pharmacy with complete medicines, Yu Jishi talked with two medical officers and several patients, and finally returned to the big playground with envious faces on his face, and sighed at the scale of the Fifth Regiment Health Team and the modern diagnosis and treatment facilities.

In the heated discussion, Yu Jishi turned to Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai, who were full of red faces: "In the past week, we have inspected four local directly affiliated regiments, and it can be said that none of them are satisfactory, only here in Wu Mingtuan, I have seen many exciting things, and it seems that there is no vanity under the fame!" ”

Ma Zhizhai said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Wu Ming has always been the pride of our Zhejiang army, and his training ideas and army building ideas have always been in the forefront of all departments of our Zhejiang army, so we are very relieved of him, and he is also worthy of our trust." ”

Liu Rulin nodded unconsciously: "The chief of staff's praise is not excessive, Wu Ming and his fifth regiment have indeed done a good job, and they have a lot of unique features in military training and internal management, why don't we accompany the seat to continue walking and learn more?" ”

Yu Jishi readily agreed, and the generals began to inspect in detail again, after looking at the barracks and looking at the canteen, and after looking at the bathhouse and looking at the toilet, even if they didn't like Wu Ming in their hearts, they had to admit his ability and achievements, and Yu Jishi gave an extraordinary evaluation after the last: impeccable, can be called a model in the army!

Returning to the simple and bright regiment headquarters, in the face of Yu Jishi's inquiries, Wu Ming answered truthfully: The quilt is folded into tofu blocks not for the sake of looking good, but through strict requirements, to cultivate the rigorous spirit of officers and soldiers; Having a meal of meat every day is the result of not deducting the soldier's salary; It is the minimum moral code for officers and soldiers to eat the same meals, because it is the soldiers who rush to the front line desperately; The toilets and baths were better repaired than the barracks because they were good for the health of officers and soldiers, and a clean and tidy environment greatly reduced diseases......

Yu Jishi was very satisfied with Wu Ming's answer, discussed for a moment with Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai who were sitting on the left and right, and asked Wu Ming with a smile:

"Commander Wu, when will your team be able to pull on the battlefield of encirclement and suppression?"

Wu Ming was taken aback and said in embarrassment: "Report to the commander, our regiment has continuously transferred men and horses to enrich other units, and just a month and a half ago the shortage of personnel was filled, and nearly half of the soldiers have not yet completed the first stage of three-month basic military skills training, and they are not competent for combat tasks at all before completing the special skills training in the second stage. ”

Yu Jishi stared at Wu Ming directly, frowning slightly: "However, Jiangxi's encirclement and suppression has reached a critical stage, and the main forces of the Central Army have suffered a lot of losses...... Therefore, the General Headquarters of Suppression requires us to mobilize troops to Shangrao, Jiangxi within 10 days to assist the friendly forces in Jiangxi to exterminate the Zhimin Department in northeastern Jiangxi. ”

"We originally planned to send the second regiment, the third regiment and your fifth regiment directly under us to go to the battle, but now it seems that your department does have practical difficulties, but I still want you to lead a battalion as a reserve, because the performance of your department is very good, and your ability is obvious to all, I hope you can be prepared."

Wu Ming glanced at Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai, who couldn't help, and stood up helplessly: "Wu Ming obeys the order!" ”

At this moment, Wu Ming has clearly realized that the arrival of Yu Jishi is undoubtedly Chiang Kai-shek's tough means to strengthen his control over the overall military and political situation in Zhejiang, and it is also a stern warning to the CC Department and the Political Science Department that are deceitful and strife.
