After a while, after everyone calmed down, Wu Ming asked Chen Zhanhong, "I heard that you are going to participate in the basketball game of the Autumn Games after you go back?" Have faith? ”

Chen Zhanhong immediately straightened up his chest, which was already much thicker, and said loudly: "Report to the chief, we have confidence"

Wu Ming nodded: "Do you estimate that you can win the basketball championship?" ”

Chen Zhanhong unexpectedly hesitated:

"In the past year, we have spent the last year in intense training, and we rarely have time to touch basketball, and I am afraid that we will not be able to beat the teams of Hangzhou Arsenal and several universities...... In particular, the basketball team of Zhijiang University, their coach is an American professional physical education teacher, and in the past two years, they have played invincible opponents in all universities and factories and enterprises in Hangzhou, and even lost to several universities in Shanghai, and they are very famous in the whole country, if we face them, we have no hope of winning. ”

Wu Ming thought for a while and pointed to a group of basketball players who looked over: "Your physical fitness is very good, those players are at least about 1.82 meters tall, you are not short, 1.78 meters is always available, such a height is already good, you also have an advantage, that is, your physical strength is very good, whether it is bounce or endurance is good......"

"I took a look just now, your personal skills are okay, but you don't cooperate very well, you don't make full use of your physical advantages, and you play too well...... What is Competitive Sports? It is a winning sport, and you will never make progress without understanding that. ”

Chen Zhanhong's eyes suddenly lit up: "The chief knows how to play basketball?" ”

The surrounding people laughed, Wu Ming's basketball level is definitely the highest among the people the brothers have seen, not only the middle and long-distance shooting is very accurate, but also full of tricks and plays quite shrewdly, the brigade basketball team led by Wu Ming can beat the basketball team composed of two spy companies to the point that they dare not raise their heads.

Seeing this, Chen Zhanhong immediately understood: "Sir, can you give us some guidance?" ”

Wu Ming thought for a while: "I'll be your coach in the second half." Lao Zhao, tell someone to blow the whistle. ”

Wu Ming followed Chen Zhanhong to the middle of a group of players, beckoned, and the players immediately gathered around, listened to Wu Ming's explanation, and then bent down, staring at the two exquisite and simple coordination tactics drawn by Wu Ming with stones, and listened carefully to Wu Ming's explanation.

Seeing that everyone understood, Wu Ming stood up and clapped his hands:

"Remember, pass the ball to guard Chen Zhanhong, No. 5, you don't have to worry about anything else, squeeze to the basket to dominate the territory, but you can't just stand still, wander at both ends of the free throw line, squeeze in after getting the ball, play it out immediately if you can't get in, and then turn around and wait under the basket, No. 7, you shoot accurately, have a chance to shoot boldly, don't have a chance to pass the ball immediately, and then according to the tactics I just had, cooperate with the guard and center, and the others remember to grab the rebound, go"

At the beginning of the competition, Brother Lian, a spy with great confidence, did exactly what Wu Ming instructed. Under Wu Ming's loud reprimand, he insisted on using two new tactics, and gradually changed from unfamiliar to familiar, and after ten minutes, he completely burst out of power, and gradually replaced the strongest instructor team in the base, and the final score was 76 to 42, and Zhao Rongsheng, the director of the base who was so angry that he personally supervised the battle, scolded his mother.

Wu Ming was just about to rush to Quzhou to attend the meeting, and argued with his eldest brother and the new Quzhou commissioner Fang Youchun, who insisted on recovering the taxing rights of the three counties in western Zhejiang, so he agreed to the request of Chen Zhanhong and others, but said that the time was only three days, and the training site was moved to the camp north of Quzhou.

That night, Wu Ming quietly slipped to the small courtyard behind the affiliated hospital again, and got together with Wang Yuehan's mother and son, and finally waited patiently for the child to fall asleep after feeding.

Wu Ming was very annoyed, strode out with a piece of clothing, stared coldly at the new adjutant Mo Mingqi, and roared in a deep voice: "Grandma, you kid won't look at it anymore?" ”

Mo Mingqi was startled, and hurriedly handed over the telegram in his hand quickly: "Chief Yu is in a hurry, his subordinates dare not slack off."

Wu Ming took the message, moved it to the wall lamp next to the gate and read it, and scolded angrily: "Chen Zhanhong of the dog day, who gave him the radio?" ”

Mo Mingqi hurriedly replied: "They have their own radio, which is even smaller than that of our spy company, and I heard from the people in the secret room of the base that the radio brought by the special service company of the Second Division is a new model newly developed and produced by the German company Siemens, which has a more sensitive signal and a longer communication distance, and the supporting hand-cranked generator is at least twice as light as the one we use now." ”

Wu Ming's eyes rolled: "In this way, call me back and tell Chief Yu that if you want me to be a coach and lead the team, you can at least allocate three or not five of the latest portable Siemens radio stations to my second brigade, otherwise you will find someone else."

"That's the answer?" Mo Mingqi was stunned.

Wu Ming glared at him in annoyance: "Just reply like this, not a word"

Yu Jishi received a telegram from Chen Zhanhong, a general, and immediately called Wu Ming after a little consideration, and then stayed in the office and waited for Wu Ming to call back.

Chen Shizheng and his adjutant Zhang Yingnian had been accompanying Yu Jishi to discuss countermeasures, but the content was not the upcoming Zhejiang Provincial Autumn Games, but the progress of the Fifth Encirclement and Suppression War and the appointment order sent by Chairman Chiang.

As early as April this year, the Kuomintang army's strategy and tactics of blockade of fortresses, protracted sieges, steady and steady warfare, and step-by-step operations against the Soviet areas began to bear fruit, greatly weakening the advantages of the Communist Red Army in guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, and forcing the Red Army to rush into battle in a hurry to seek to break the blockade and secure its hard-won territory under the condition of great confusion in its guiding ideology.

However, in the Guangchang Campaign, the most crucial battle launched in mid-to-late April, the Red Third Army Corps led by Peng Dehuai, with a total of more than 30,000 troops, and the well-equipped Kuomintang army, which was several times its own strength, fought hard for 18 consecutive days, and finally retreated at a heavy cost of more than 5,000 dead in battle, and the Red Third Army Corps, the most elite main force of the Red Army, lost more than 3,000 officers and men at once.

After this battle, the confidence of the Kuomintang troops involved in the encirclement and suppression was greatly increased, and they began to shift from all-round active defense to active offensive, and continued to adhere to the strategic thinking of steady and steady progress and step-by-step action formulated by the Military Committee and the General Staff Headquarters, and slowly but systematically narrowed the encirclement one by one.

In September, the Communist Red Army, which had been blockaded for nearly a year, was almost on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, and had to begin preparations for a major strategic shift.

Chiang Kai-shek, who was on the front line to command the battle, also saw this sign, and so there was a series of new appointments issued by Chiang Kai-shek to the participating units.

Among them, Yu Jishi was appointed as the "commander of the pursuit and suppression column in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi-Anhui-Fujian border area" and ordered Yu Jishi to expand the existing strength to four brigades and go to the northeastern region of Jiangxi to encircle and suppress the 10th Army of the Red Army.
