When Luo Zhuoying slowly opened his eyes, it was already three poles of the sun, and in the haze, he felt that the environment was wrong, so he suddenly sat up and looked around at the bedroom where the space was small but neat, and there was a bedroom with walls full of bookshelves, and it took a while to come back to his senses, rubbing his hazy eyes and just about to get out of bed, Huang Wei, who heard the movement, had already pushed the door in, still holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.

Luo Zhuoying, who remembered that this was Wu Ming's regimental headquarters, sighed softly, uncovered the grass-green warm quilt on his body, stretched his legs off the edge of the bed, and asked, "Pei me (Huang Wei), I didn't look foreign last night, right?" ”

Huang Wei smiled and said: "No, except for his subordinates and Zhifang (Li Jilan), everyone else drank too much, drunk a lot, and after drinking to the fullest, Master Zhou said that the fourteenth senior brother who was not four out of ten was still crying, and he couldn't get up until now." ”

Luo Zhuoying shook her head and pinched her swollen temples: "Is Wu Ming drunk?" ”

"This guy has a really good amount of alcohol, he just lasted until the last of the four, and the four of us couldn't pour him down, and the last thing was that he carried Master Zhou into the next bedroom to serve and sleep...... I can't see that this guy is polite, like a scholar, there are so many of them! ”

Huang Wei looked a little helpless, and he also had palpitations, Wu Ming and his officers were too good to drink.

Seeing the adjutant bring in the face wash, Luo Zhuoying put on his pants, put on high-waisted riding boots, walked to the door to brush his teeth and wash his face, and drank a cup of hot tea when he was done.

Knowing that the brothers had not woken up yet, and that the officers and soldiers who had been marching for eleven days in a row could hardly sleep peacefully, Luo Zhuoying simply sat opposite Huang Wei, lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly.

Huang Wei said in a low voice: "The officer on duty of the military headquarters guard regiment reported that Wu Ming came before dawn, and instructed his officers and soldiers not to have morning exercises this morning, so as not to wake up thousands of brothers who had difficulty sleeping lazily, and personally went to the canteen for a walk, and then went to the hospital to inspect it, and when he came back, he saw that our officers and soldiers did not get up, he walked to the entrance of the regiment department and turned back to the hospital. ”

Luo Zhuoying sighed: "Wu Ming is benevolent! Look at the meal he cooked for our more than 9,000 brothers last night, it was the first time I had seen a brother under his command who couldn't finish braised pork and steamed fish after so many years in the army...... What is even more rare is that the five tables of food and wine he entertained to our generals and colonies were exactly the same as all the brothers, they were all big pot dishes, only the tableware was finer, but it was strange, we all ate with relish, as if we had never eaten such a good meal in our lives, alas! This Wu Ming, I don't know how Lu Dao will repay him in the future. ”

Huang Wei nodded frequently, thinking deeply: "It's really interesting!" At dawn I went to their hospital, their young director Steve was doing surgery from last night to five o'clock this morning, but when I got there, he also took five or six intern doctors to check on the wounded, and told those interns in detail how to judge whether it was inflamed and how to deal with it, his face was burnt, his eyes were red and swollen, but he was still so serious, I really don't know where Wu Ming found such a talent, and how to bring out such a good subordinate, in comparison, I feel that I am not as good as him too much. ”

Luo Zhuoying sighed again: "Just think about the two battles in which Wu Ming fought fame, you can know that this guy is not an ordinary person, it is not an exaggeration to call him Wen Xian Wushuangquan, such a talent stays in the local army, it's a pity!" ”

Huang Wei seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it after the end, and said in a low voice after a moment of silence

"Wu Ming sent us a sincere invitation last night, let us live in this big camp, his reason is very good, we have 500 wounded can not move, need to stay for treatment, and then his camp is large enough, the facilities are also very complete, although one of his regiments has more than 2,400 people, but two infantry battalions need to guard the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border posts, rarely come back to live, two engineer companies have been on vacation, come back to the north of the mountain Maoliangwu, for a period of 40 days of special blasting and pontoon bridge construction training......

"There are only officers and men of the regimental headquarters guard company, communications company, military academy, and hospital stationed in the large camp for a long time, and there are less than 500 people, and it is enough to set up a military tent at will, and the barracks that can accommodate 6,000 officers and men of the two regiments are all given to us to station, and we can also prop up 150 tents in stock within one day, and it is also very convenient to purchase food; the three surrounding counties are their defense areas, and the relationship between the military and the people is very good.

Luo Zhuoying smiled bitterly: "Pei me, you should know what kind of situation we are in now, as long as we make any mistakes, we can become the handle of others' attacks, and maybe we will be labeled as 'disobeying orders and arrogant......' on the grounds that we did not go to Quzhou to rest and recuperate according to the requirements of the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Therefore, after lunch today, the troops must be mobilized, and they must rush to Quzhou tonight, and they can't make trouble for the military seat anymore, he is now alone in Nanchang, which is full of opponents, waiting for disposal, helpless, living like a year!"

Huang Wei stood up: "Okay! Your subordinates will immediately go and gather the brigade commanders and regiment commanders to convey your intentions. ”

Luo Zhuoying also stood up: "You and Master Zhou are responsible for the preparations before departure, and tell the brothers, leave all the military uniforms that friendly troops lent us to wear, put on our own military uniforms, no matter how dirty and tattered they are, we must wear them!" I went to talk to Wu Ming and thank him and his brothers! ”

Wu Ming, who knew the inside story, did not persuade Luo Zhuoying to lead his troops to stay, and quietly ordered the officers under his command to collect as many ships as possible, and try to provide convenience for the brothers of the 18th Army who rushed to Quzhou.

######

At two o'clock in the afternoon, nearly 9,000 officers and men of the 18th Army bid farewell to the more than 500 wounded soldiers who had stayed behind for treatment, and after being led by Brother Wu Mingtuan, they were led to the east wharf.

The fleet left the shore one after another, Luo Zhuoying, Zhou Zhirou and a group of generals stood on the back deck of the three-hundred-ton military transport ship owned by Wu Ming, staring at Wu Ming and waving on the dock for a long time, Wu Ming and other more than a dozen officers of the security regiment, their eyes were flushed and moved inexplicably, and Zhou Zhirou suddenly turned around and disappeared behind the crowd, looking up at the blue sky in the east for a long time, trying not to let his tears flow out, which made the brothers sigh, and none of them raised their hands to wave goodbye to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming returned to the regiment headquarters and called Yu Jishi who was sitting in Quzhou as soon as possible, who knew that Yu Jishi received an urgent notice from the provincial government last night, and rushed back to Hangzhou to attend the meeting with Ma Zhizhai and Chen Shizheng overnight.

Considering that Yu Jishi and others were still on the road, Wu Ming immediately sent a telegram to Liu Rulin, deputy director of the Provincial Security Department, informing him in detail of the current situation of the 18th Army and the total number of officers and men, so that Quzhou could prepare in advance and make proper arrangements.

In the evening of the same day, the conscription telegram from the Quzhou training base of the Central Party Department arrived again, and Wu Ming, who still held the title of chief military instructor of the training base, decided to take advantage of the spare time of the past few days to rush to Maoliangwu with his wife to visit relatives.

More importantly, Wu Ming needs to take a look at the Maoliangwu East Valley Arsenal that is quietly under construction and the Kaihua ** Factory that has been put into operation, learn more about the progress of the Chamber of Commerce's copper and special steel purchase reserves in the first quarter of this year, and then formulate a design plan for the second phase of the arsenal, select a site for the staff dormitory and foreign technician residence that will be built, and consider how to set up a military restricted area in order to better achieve concealment and confidentiality.
