Liu Yuanlin, who graduated from the fourth phase of the Huangpu Infantry Department and was known as a "guerrilla warfare expert" in later generations, was still a little green, his face was slightly red, and he politely asked Wu Ming to stay for a while, and coughed lightly, interrupting Feng Shengfa's thinking: "Brother, Senior Wu has come to see you."

Feng Shengfa was deeply in reverie, and his eyes became demented.

Wu Ming felt a little funny, walked over gently, stretched out his hand and patted Feng Shengfa's shoulder, only to see Feng Shengfa scream "Ah", and suddenly stood up, which startled Wu Ming. Wu Ming said with a little crying and laughing: "General Feng, what are you doing?" Could it be that the little brother is not well entertained? ”

Feng Shengfa finally came back to his senses, took a closer look at Wu Ming, who took a step back and looked at him with a smile, and hurriedly apologized:

"I'm really sorry, just now I was thinking about Division Commander Wu's military methods, it's really unpredictable I didn't see Master Wu you come in, Feng made amends to you"

Feng Shengfa unconsciously used a respectful title, and at the end he solemnly bowed to Wu Ming.

"Don't you, you're you"

Wu Ming hurriedly grabbed him and quipped: "Just now I thought General Feng was angry with me, this exercise is to put it bluntly, it is to test the feet of the officers and soldiers on both sides, our unit has been training in the mountains of western Zhejiang and adapting to the mountainous terrain, so it is not surprising that it has taken some advantage."

"Not surprising?"

Feng Shengfa shook his head self-deprecatingly and smiled: "I don't think we want to be a general, how old is you, brother, if you don't mind, you will be called a brother in the future."

"Of course that's good"

Wu Ming hurriedly took Feng Shengfa's words and took the initiative to change his title: "Brother Feng, what are you thinking about just now?" ”

Feng Shengfa slapped his head, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, laughing very heartily, and then pointed to the newspaper and map on the table: "Well, I was studying your combat deployment during the exercise just now, and I found that you are a soldier brother."

"Where, where, Brother Feng is too polite"

Wu Ming bowed and rejected the top hat with a smile.

In fact, Wu Ming still had a better plan that was not implemented, that is, the decapitation operation: gather two spy companies and a guard company, and make a long-distance attack on the red side's general headquarters in Xianyan Town, knocking out the red side's command system in one fell swoop, and at that time, the red side that was fighting separately would be easier to be dismembered and eliminated.

It's just that if Chairman Jiang is asked to put himself in his shoes, I am afraid that he will shudder, and feel more and more that Wu Ming and his new Second Division are difficult to control, and maybe they will be more guarded against and alienated from the new Second Division, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

Feng Shengfa was no longer polite to Wu Ming, stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Ming to the table, and then asked with the newspaper and map:

"Brother Wu, the strength of the various units under your ministry is uneven, although there are units with extremely strong individual ability such as the special service company, but there are also new regiments that have only been trained for a few months and then pulled out to participate in the exercise...... It's amazing that you dare to use a new regiment to intercept the 45th Division, which is several times your size."

At this time, the Chairman's Guard and the generals and colonels of the guard regiment and the special service regiment directly under the Central Military Committee all gathered in Feng Shengfa's room, wanting to hear the secret of this man who led his troops to defeat him.

Wu Ming didn't feel any discomfort to the room full of people, and explained with a serious face: "Actually, I don't have much confidence, so I still transferred half of the regiment from the four main regiments that were stretched thin to be a reserve...... In fact, it was also the case, the recruits almost didn't hold out in the face of the fierce impact of the 45th Division, and the veterans rose up at the critical moment."

"Then how did you manage your troops to be like an arm?"

Feng Shengfa was very curious about Wu Ming's military command, and grabbed Wu Ming's arm to the death, and there was a great tendency to not let people go without making it clear.

Wu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had to beg for mercy: "I said it's not okay, Brother Feng, you better let go of your hand first, let's talk slowly"

Seeing that Wu Ming agreed, Feng Shengfa hurriedly brought a chair and respectfully invited Wu Ming to sit down.

Wu Ming stretched out a finger, lightly tapped it on the table, glanced around at the people in the room, and then said solemnly: "To sum up, it is just the four points of full and meticulous reconnaissance and analysis before the war, strict organization, keen grasp of fighter planes, and concentrated use of limited forces. Other than that, there's no secret to it. ”

Feng Shengfa frowned slightly, thinking deeply, his brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, and when he reached the end, he slapped the table and sighed: "It seems that Brother Wu will definitely leave a name in military history in the future."

Everyone was in an uproar, leaving a name in military history, isn't that a name in history? This evaluation is inevitably too high, and a trace of disdain appeared on the face of Shi Zude, the head of the secret service regiment, and Liu Yuanlin, the head of the guard regiment, was even more disapproving, saying in his heart Isn't this the guerrilla warfare of the Communist Party, Lao Tzu went back to study it carefully, and it was not necessarily bad.

Wu Ming didn't care about the expressions of the generals, pulled Feng Shengfa's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, let's go."

"Yu?"

Feng Shengfa was stunned for a moment.

Wu Ming laughed: "Brother Feng, I am here to inform you that today the exercise headquarters held a summary and commendation meeting for the exercise in Yushan County, and the chairman of the committee will attend in person, and I am also rushing back from the front line."

After speaking, Wu Ming dragged and pulled, and Feng Shengfa and the generals of the Imperial Forest Army went out of the gate of the station, at this time Zhang Dongning, Dai Ziran, Luo Yuming, Yang Sixian and Lu Kuiyuan and others were already waiting outside, each got into the car, and then headed for Yushan County.

Half an hour later, the Yushan County Government compound on the north bank of the Xinjiang River.

In this old-fashioned courtyard building, colorful flags were flying, and a regiment temporarily recruited from the 88th Division undertook the important task of security and vigilance for the bigwigs of the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters.

Under the leadership of Wu Ming, the generals of the new Second Division, Feng Shengfa and others came to the county government compound where they were recruited as the chairman of the committee, and all the bigwigs of the exercise headquarters greeted Wu Ming with a smile, especially Yang Jie, who enthusiastically took Wu Ming's hand and said: "You can make the people of our exercise headquarters miserable."

Wu Ming looked at Yang Jie with some surprise, not knowing how to interface.

Yang Jie explained with a smile: "The chairman of the committee made a bet with us, and everyone thought that you would definitely lose the battle, and after a comprehensive analysis, I thought that you would never win, so I also pressed a bet." Now that you've lost, do you blame you? ”

Yang Jie smiled, but the bigwigs of the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters were a little embarrassed.

At this time, Qian Dajun walked out of the lobby and said to everyone expressionlessly: "What are you doing in front of the door?" Now go inside, the chairman will be coming soon. ”

After Wu Ming walked into the lobby, he found that Tang Shengzhi, who had a gloomy face, also came with the Red Fang soldiers, and when he saw Wu Ming and the others coming in, he turned his head away very unnaturally.

Wu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, stepped forward, saluted Tang Shengzhi, and then greeted General Dai Minquan, the commander of the 45th Division, and Chen Guangzhong, the commander of the 63rd Division.

After all, this was just an exercise, and most of the people present had risen to the top of their official positions, and Chiang Kai-shek would not punish himself for the failure of an exercise, so he saw it very openly.

After a while, a loud voice sounded in the hall: "The chairman has arrived"

Everyone immediately stood upright, and Chiang Kai-shek, who came out of the back room, nodded slightly to the generals, went straight to the rostrum and sat down, and nodded to Yang Jie, who was presiding over the meeting.

Yang Jie came to the microphone in the middle of the rostrum, and faced everyone: "This exercise was very successful, and all departments are serious and active" Yang Jie's official words and clichés made everyone a little drowsy, and it was not until the last that Yang Jie said the key point: "Now please ask the chairman to announce the list ......of meritorious soldiers"

These words immediately lifted everyone's spirits, held their heads high, watched Chiang Kai-shek walk to the front of the stage, took the document handed by the attendant, opened it and read aloud:

"This exercise is of great significance, and it shows the prestige of our army...... Specially awarded Tang Shengzhi, Wu Mingyi and other Yunlu medals...

When Chiang Kai-shek read out the award, Chen Bui, director of the second division of the chamberlain, guided Tang Shengzhi and Wu Ming to the stage to accept the medal.

The Order of the First Class Yunlu is a reward for generals with outstanding military achievements, and it is not easy for Wu Ming to receive this medal at his age. However, the generals of the new second division were a little resentful, Tang Shengzhi, a general of the defeated army, actually won the first-class Yunlu Medal with his division commander, isn't it too nonsense?

But they didn't know that this was Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement to protect Wu Ming. Most of the generals and colonels in the first four phases of Huangpu are still in the position of brigade commander, regiment commander and even battalion commander, Wu Ming has only been in the army for a few years, but now he is at least a general and division commander, and now he has won the first-class Yunlu Medal, I don't know how many attacks Lu Dao will receive.

The rafters rotted first, and Chiang Kai-shek also decided to let Tang Shengzhi award the medal at the same time in order to protect Wu Ming, so as to prevent everyone from focusing on Wu Ming alone.

In addition to Wu Ming, more than 30 generals and colonels of the New Second Division were awarded the General Medal, the Winning Medal, the Commemorative Medal, and so on.

At the end of the commendation meeting, Chiang Kai-shek directly took Wu Ming to his room, inquired in detail about the situation of Wu Ming's troops in the battle, fully affirmed Wu Ming's command, and then gave constructive suggestions with "great foresight".

Although he was full of slander in his heart, Wu Ming's face was full of respect and admiration, and he nodded from time to time, saying that he had properly used the chairman's strategy to achieve this good result, and he also told the content of Chiang Kai-shek's lecture at the Whampoa Military Academy.

Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "You are not a Huangpu student, how do you know this?" ”

Wu Ming hurriedly took out the pamphlet in his pocket as if offering a treasure and handed it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek took a look at it and was stunned, the six gilded characters on the red cover of "Quotations of Chairman Chiang" were particularly eye-catching, and then the contents were excerpts from Chiang Kai-shek's speech after he became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy in the 23rd year of the Republic of China.

"This book of "Quotations of Chairman Chiang" is an internal study material of our new Second Division, through which we can better understand the spirit of the chairman and the achievements in military and political aspects, so that we can learn and apply it in a lively way, and achieve immediate results." Wu Ming said in a tone of admiration.

This "Quotations of Chairman Chiang" was deliberately concocted by Wu Ming to make Chiang Kai-shek happy after hearing Dai Ziran's unintentional words, and most of the contents were sorted out and copied from Chen Cheng and Yu Jishi in the past few days, plus Chiang Kai-shek's public speeches published in major newspapers and magazines, so it is full of weight.

Chiang Kai-shek smiled after reading it, and when he looked at Wu Ming's eyes again, he was even more cordial and appreciative.

"The ancients said that if you live to learn from all the time, this will not be outdated until now. You have to sum it up yourself," Chiang Kai-shek said modestly, and said: "This book is very meaningful, and I am ready to let the Central Party Department promote it throughout the country, what do you think?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears"

Wu Ming said happily: "The chairman's thinking is the pinnacle of the Three People's Principles, and preaching and studying the chairman's writings is a shortcut to studying the Three People's Principles. ”

This sycophant made Lao Jiang extremely comfortable, he waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's over, it's really over" Chiang Kai-shek was in a good mood, and waved outside: "Jianfeng"

Chiang Ching-kuo walked up from outside the house with steady steps, nodded at Wu Ming and smiled as a greeting, and then said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Father"

Chiang Kai-shek patted Wu Ming on the shoulder, and then said to Chiang Ching-kuo: "Jianfeng, this one is General Wu Ming, the protagonist of this exercise."
