Two violent explosions rang out for 10 miles, shocking the whole city, and thousands of soldiers and civilians flocked to Zhangjiafeng in the south of the city where the plane fell.

Almost all of them said that they heard the roar of the reconnaissance plane's low flying circle and the earth-shattering explosion, but few people mentioned the sound of machine gun fire.

The intelligence officers hidden in the crowd played a huge role, among which Yu Yu, who appeared as more than two businessmen, was the most beautiful, and not only did countless people believe the words of these two "witnesses", but the two reporters were also attracted by them and interviewed in front of thousands of onlookers.

Under the conclusive and gushing misleading evidence of the "Shangrao businessmen," the people were convinced that the machine-gun sound was emitted by the planes when they strafed the positions of the officers and men of Zhangjiafeng, and many people shouted "That's it," otherwise how could the officers and men who were caught off guard use their rifles to hit the planes? If so, that's ridiculous

Under the interview of reporters, many onlookers said the same fact:

After the plane accident, more than a dozen "officers and men who were attacked" rushed to rescue the pilot of the Guangdong army who had parachuted to the ground, lifted the pilot who was covered in blood all over his body, and sent him to the military camp in the city for treatment.

Everyone was misled by Wu Ming's meticulous calculations, and among the four anti-air attack positions of the machine gun battalion under Wu Ming's command, only two highly concealed positions of Jiangjiashan in the west of the city and Zhangjiafeng in the south of the city participated in the attack, and the entire attack process took less than three minutes.

A series of things that happened in just three minutes were carried out in the roar of the aircraft engine, few people saw the whole process, and few people could link it all together and scrutinize it carefully, the last two big explosions of the plane shocked everyone, only a few children said loudly that they had just seen two blue lights flying on Jiangjia Mountain, but they were slammed on the head by their own adults and scolded for being ridiculous.

As the officers and soldiers who were cleaning up the wreckage under Zhang Jiafeng slowly walked in, the thousands of people watching became restless again, and two reporters who had finished interviewing several witnesses ran to more than 10 officers and soldiers carrying a simple stretcher made of bamboo.

In the hustle and bustle, five war horses came quickly from the city, watching the lively people hurriedly dodge to make way for a passage, Wu Ming on the horse turned over and dismounted five or six meters in front of the stretcher, walked quickly to the stretcher and asked a few words, under the nervous gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, carefully uncovered the dirty sheets covered on the stretcher, the pungent smell of burnt smell from the cruel and incomplete corpse, looked at it with sadness for five seconds, and then gently covered the sheets, and sighed up to the sky: "What a misfortune, this is not only the misfortune of soldiers, It's even more of a misfortune for the country and the nation......"

The onlookers stared at Wu Ming, who was standing in the center of the crowd with compassion, and they were all moved by his words and the sad expression on his face, and immediately asked each other who this chief was?

Because the gray old military uniform on Wu Ming's body did not have a military rank mark, the people didn't know how big Wu Ming's official was, but they knew that his words were very reasonable, and ordinary people couldn't say it.

The two reporters, who were still instructing the photojournalist to capture this rare moment just now, keenly sniffed out the huge news value contained in it, and both squeezed into the center of the crowd to interview Wu Ming loudly.

After listening to the reporter's question, Wu Ming shook his head slightly, glanced around with a heavy face, and said to the two reporters who took out their notebooks to record:

"The pilot who jumped off the plane before the explosion was very unfortunate, before our officers and men thought that he had only fallen and injured himself when he landed, but after picking him up, they found that his neck was hit by the fragments of the plane explosion, and his whole body was covered in blood, and he was also unconscious...... Our officers and soldiers immediately sent him to the barracks in the city for rescue, but he was bleeding too much and the wound on his neck was too large to be saved. ”

The crowd immediately let out a burst of exclamations, Wu Ming shook his head sadly, and pointed to the mutilated corpse lying on the stretcher next to him, and said sadly:

"We must collect the bodies of the two pilots of the Cantonese army, buy two coffins with the best clothes, and send them to the Cantonese army in the south early tomorrow morning, so that the Cantonese brothers can send them back to their hometowns for burial. Although they took the initiative to shoot at us, we don't blame them, and the fault is not on them, they just did what they were told, and the fault was Chen Jitang, the head of the Guangdong warlords who deliberately provoked the war for the sake of their own glory and wealth, and wanted to be the emperor of the soil."

"At a time when the great enemy is at present, the country is in danger, and the survival of the nation is hanging by a thread, I very much hope that the officers and men of the Guangdong Army will put the overall situation of the country and the interests of the nation first, obey the wise leadership of the central government and Chairman Chiang, fight side by side with us, and drive out all the aggressors who oppress and plunder our Chinese nation."

"Well said"

Several loud voices erupted in the crowd, and the onlookers were stunned for a moment and immediately shouted, everyone admired Wu Ming, who was compassionate and righteous, and the two reporters also hurriedly put away their notebooks and applauded Wu Ming warmly.

Wu Ming waved his hand humbly, glanced at the stretcher covered with dirty sheets, and gave earnest advice to several officers and soldiers carrying the stretcher, and then hung his head in the midst of cheers and applause, walked towards his ugly zebra with heavy steps, turned over without saying a word, and gently waved the whip to beat the horse away.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lushan is beautiful.

Qian Dajun, chief of the guard and director of the first division of the chairman's chamberlain, entered the study and sent the long telegram to Chiang Kai-shek with both hands: "It was sent by Kang Ze. ”

"Oh?"

Chiang Kai-shek was quite surprised, took the telegram and read it carefully, with excitement in his eyes: "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...... How did the press react? ”

"Ten minutes ago, the Central News Agency broadcast this sudden incident, severely criticizing the Guangdong army's continuous provocation of the central government's separatist behavior, other newspapers and radio stations have not yet reacted, it is estimated that the news is still being transmitted and verified, and there should be a large number of reports tomorrow." Qian Dajun reported truthfully.

Chiang Kai-shek motioned for Qian Dajun to sit down, called Chen Bui, who came to the door to report on work, and took the urgent report from the Central Party Department sent by Chen Bui and read it for a while, nodded and motioned Chen Bui to sit down as well:

"Very good, the response of the Central Party Department to Xinfeng's emergencies is quite fast, and the fact that they have formulated a political propaganda plan in such a short period of time shows that their vision is still very good...... In the past few days, the central negotiation team has been waiting in Guangzhou for Chen Jitang to make a decision, but after Li Delin (Li Zongren) and Bai Jiansheng (Bai Chongxi) flew to Guangzhou on the pretext of paying tribute to Hu Zhantang (Hu Hanmin), Chen Jitang's attitude suddenly changed and he did not want to meet our central negotiation team."

"Obviously, Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng must have been responsible for all this, so this sudden incident in Xinfeng came at the right time, and we must seize this rare opportunity to launch a huge political offensive, fully expose the separatist acts and ambitions of the two Guangzhous, morally condemn them, isolate them, and do it immediately, the sooner the better."

Qian Dajun and Chen Bui immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Qian Dajun: "Mu Yin, you stay." ”

After Qian Dajun sat down, Chiang Kai-shek slowly pushed the long telegram sent by Kang Ze in front of him: "The course of the incident reported by Kang Ze and his means of dealing with the situation are very detailed and effective, and he also reported the accusations of the local people against the Guangdong army for wantonly provoking the war, which shows that he has done a good job."

"It's just...... He did not convey the opinion of Wu Ming, commander of the newly formed 10th Brigade, nor did he explain what kind of losses were caused by the strafing of Wu Ming's position by the Guangdong army's planes. The purpose of I sent him to the newly formed 10th Brigade was to let him take care of Wu Ming, who could fight and cause trouble, but he didn't talk about Wu Ming in such a major event, is there another reason? ”

Qian Dajun had thought about this matter before, and he didn't think much about it before he expressed his opinion:

At present, the two Guangxi have not publicly announced their separation from the central government, and the central government has not officially announced the crusade against the two Guangzhous, and the two sides are still negotiating in Guangzhou, and all walks of life at home and abroad are also keeping an eye on Guangzhou...... Although Chen Jitang is vulgar and unscrupulous, he is not so naïve politically. ”

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly: "That's true, not to mention that Li Delin and Bai Jiansheng are both in Guangzhou, with the shrewdness of the two of them, how could Chen Jitang make such a stupid mistake?" Could it be the unauthorized actions of the pilots of the Cantonese army? ”

"This ...... It is indeed possible that the pilots of the Guangdong army acted without authorization, and the air force of the Guangdong army has been dispatched frequently in recent times, and it is estimated that the pressure on the pilots is very great, but it is rare to use reconnaissance planes to launch attacks, and even if it is fire reconnaissance, it should be borne by the attack planes or destroyers escorting the escort, and this is also the reason why the subordinates are puzzled. Qian Dajun gradually expressed his judgment.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyebrows shook slightly: "You mean, it is possible that Wu Ming took the initiative to shoot down the plane?" ”

Qian Dajun hesitated, although he and Wu Ming had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the incident on Lushan, and he also hated Wu Ming who was unscrupulous, but when it came to normal affairs, Qian Dajun was still very objective:

"Although the success rate of using machine guns to shoot is very low, there have been two of the five encirclement and suppression wars, and one was a bomber of our Air Force and the other was a reconnaissance plane of the Gui Air Force...... However, Kang Ze's telegram made it very clear that the Guangdong army's reconnaissance plane exploded on its own shortly after firing on the ground, and there were many witnesses, and the report sent back by two reporters from the Central News Agency was very detailed and completely consistent with Kang Ze's report, so it was not ruled out that the Guangdong military pilots acted on their own, but all this came together and there were too many coincidences. ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "Speaking of which, do you still suspect that Wu Ming took the initiative to attack?" If so, wouldn't Kang Ze be in cahoots with Wu Mingxin?

Qian Dajun also smiled, thought about it and sighed with emotion: "The incident that happened on Lushan back then impressed his subordinates, this Wu Ming is very ruthless, and he is calculating, he killed and injured so many elite brothers in his office, not only did his subordinates fail to punish him, but they were embarrassed by him in the end. ”

"Therefore, if Wu Ming took the initiative to attack, his subordinates would not be the slightest surprised, and not only would they not condemn him in this matter, but would praise him, after all, coming at this time is purely unexpected joy for us, which is enough to catch the two Guangxi sides off guard, not only to make Chen Jitang and Li Zongren fall into great passivity politically, morally unjust, but also militarily to be hit on the head."

Chiang Kai-shek very much agreed with Qian Dajun's analysis: "I estimate that Kang Ze has his ideas, and the reason why he did not report Wu Ming's situation seems to be intentional...... After these two busy days, I called him back and asked about it, and it will be clear that what I am interested in now is that the whole of China knows about the wanton attack of the defenders of Jiangxi by the Guangdong army planes in Ludao, and he himself has fallen, and I don't know how Chen Jitang and Chen Jitang will deal with this matter. ”

Qian Dajun said with a smile: "At this time, Chen Jitang should go to Bai Jiansheng, the little Zhuge in a hurry, to ask for advice." ”

Chiang Kai-shek smiled and smiled very happily.
