The headquarters of the new Second Division was busy, and Sun Chengyuan took the guards and staff officers of the adjutant's office to prepare for the transfer of the division headquarters.

Wu Ming clasped his hands in front of his chest and carefully studied the map of downtown Shanghai. On the whole, the current situation is still favorable to our side, with the addition of the new Second Division, the total strength of the Ninth Army has reached more than 100,000 troops, while the Japanese marines have received domestic reinforcements, plus the volunteer brigade composed of soldiers and samurai ronin, the total strength is still less than 10,000.

Although the Japanese army has geographical advantages and firepower, the quality of its officers and men has been diluted by the volunteers, and its combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than that of the new Second Division.

In the evening, the brigades began to concentrate on the national defense line camp, Wu Ming thought hard for a long time, and also had a certain idea of the next battle, just as he was about to go to the school field to check the troops, Zhang Dongning broke into the headquarters like a gust of wind, picked up the teapot and poured the teacup full, raised his head and drank it, took a long breath, threw the hat on his head on the table, sat down angrily, and said to Wu Ming: "Division, the people in the headquarters of the Eighth Army are too hateful, they refuse to give us anything, this trip is in vain"

Wu Ming was a little surprised, Zhang Dongning was meticulous and patient, after a long period of military training, his ability improved quickly, all kinds of trivial matters were arranged in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos at all, and it was difficult to see him angry. Wu Ming motioned to the guards to fill the teapot with water, and then filled the teacup in front of Zhang Dongning: "It's hot outside, drink some more, take a breath and talk."

Zhang Dongning had calmed down at this time, and while drinking water, he told Wu Ming about the cold reception he had suffered at the headquarters of the Eighth Army.

After receiving Wu Ming's urgent telegram, Zhang Dongning rushed to the quartermaster department of the headquarters of the Eighth Group Army, but the quartermaster chief He Shangwen was not there, and only one deputy director came forward to receive him, Zhang Dongning proposed to receive weapons and equipment and ammunition according to the order of the Military Committee, but the deputy director was vague, and said for a while that he could only deal with it when the director returned, and then said that there was no weapons and ammunition that Zhang Dongning wanted in the quartermaster warehouse.

Zhang Dongning sat and waited in the quartermaster department for more than two hours, and when he came out to smoke and catch his breath, he heard the staff officer of the quartermaster department say strange things, and then he realized that in fact, the quartermaster chief He Shangwen had been in his office all along, and while Zhang Dongning was waiting, the quartermaster chief, who had a close friendship with Zhang Fakui, also approved the ammunition claims of other troops

When Zhang Dongning heard this, he was immediately furious.

The new Second Division is about to be pulled out, and it will fight desperately with the Japanese army armed to the teeth on the front line, and the Quartermaster Department of the Eighth Army is still embarrassed on issues such as combat materials. Zhang Dongning didn't say a word, and went directly to Huang Qixiang, deputy commander of the Eighth Group Army, who was sitting at the headquarters, and Huang Qixiang played a Tai Chi pusher, denied all what Zhang Dongning said, and said in front of Zhang Dongning that he had sent He Shangwen, the quartermaster of the department, to Nanjing Gongyu, in short, there was no weapons and ammunition for the new Second Division. In the absence of any choice, Zhang Dongning had no choice but to come back and resume his life.

Wu Ming's face turned cold after hearing this, and his eyes were about to erupt.

"Where do you get weapons and ammunition?" Wu Ming asked.

Zhang Dongning replied: "It's near Jiaxing Railway Station, adjacent to Nanhu. It was originally the location of the Jiaxing Military Station of the Quartermaster Administration, and after the start of the war in Songhu, it was handed over to the Eighth Army for the management of the Eighth Army, and it is said that there are a lot of good goods at the bottom of the box."

"Row"

Wu Ming nodded, picked up his matching gun, tightened his military uniform, and turned to Sun Chengyuan and said: "Inform all regiments to rest temporarily, the guard battalion and the first brigade and one regiment will follow me, and immediately rush to the Jiaxing military station, where we will receive weapons and ammunition." ”

Sun Chengyuan smiled, and stood upright: "Yes"

At 9:10 p.m., at the Jiaxing Military Station, the officers and men of the 62nd Division were carrying weapons and ammunition in the dark, and the division commander, Major General Tao Liu, and the quartermaster He Shangwen got together to chat.

Tao Liu threw a cigarette at He Chang, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie Lu, Brother He, this batch of weapons and ammunition really solves the urgent need of our 62nd Division."

He Shangwen smiled, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." In the next step, our Guangdong army and your Hunan army will work together to defend the front line of Pudong and Hangzhou Bay, and in the future, I will not necessarily want the help of Chief Tao as the quartermaster general......"

"Where is the ......" Tao Liu said politely: "Brother He is in charge of the distribution of military quarters of the entire group army, and he is in a high position, brother, I don't have time to stammer, if there is anything I need to do, just ask"

"Then let's decide on multiple friends and multiple paths, and everyone will help each other in the future" He Shangwen was complacent, suddenly remembered something, and looked disdainful: "It's really annoying today, the chief of staff of the new second division has been blocked in our quartermaster department for a long time, trying to get reinforcements from me, so that I hid in the office and didn't dare to go out, and my urine bag was about to explode...... Deputy Commander Huang called, this new second division has a big enmity with our Guangdong army, and told me to resolutely resist it, and must not allocate materials to him Fortunately, the military situation is urgent, at most, he will hold on until the early hours of the morning, and he will be able to pull out on the road, and then he can easily deal with the past, hum, the weapons and equipment of the new second division are good, and they even want to receive weapons and ammunition from us, it is really not enough to swallow elephants."

Tao Liu frowned, and asked where the chief was: "Wu Mingxin's weapons and equipment are really good?" ”

"Of course, you didn't see that when Wu Ming came to visit the headquarters with his guards, the submachine guns around him were full of water, and we were both greedy for Deputy Commander Huang and Chief of Staff Xie. Even if it is our Commander Zhang, a dignified first-class general of the national army, the guards don't have such good weapons and equipment......"

Speaking of this, He Shangwen had a look of disgust on his face: "Besides, the new Second Division has already transferred out of our Eighth Army sequence, why do you want to get a vote before leaving?" ”

In order to improve the relationship with the Quartermaster Department of the Group Army, Tao Liu followed Chief He to scold Wu Ming and his new second division for being shameless, at this time, many figures suddenly popped out of the darkness, and then the strong light of the flashlight swept over, and for a moment the eyes of Commander Tao and He Chang couldn't open their eyes.

After a while, the two of them adapted to the light, only to find that all the people who came were holding a strangely shaped submachine gun, and at the gate of the military station in the distance, the baggage soldiers guarding the military station had been subdued, tied hands and feet and thrown behind the sandbags next to the fence, the searchlights were turned on on the originally empty high wall, and a machine gun sealed the inside and outside of the military station, and the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division who were carrying military supplies were stunned, and they all stopped their work and looked at their division commander.

The cigarette on Tao Liu's mouth fell to the ground at some point, he swallowed his saliva, and saw that the eye-catching blue sky and white sun emblem on the opponent's steel helmet knew that it was the national army, and breathed a sigh of relief, and then a wave of anger surged into his heart.

Seeing that He Shangwen's face changed greatly, Tao Liu thought about it and strode forward, and said to the soldier who was holding a submachine gun and pointed at him, "Which part of you are from?" Do you know that this is a military powerhouse? ”

Wu Ming, who came out of the dark, arched his hand at Tao Liu and greeted with a smile: "This must be the commander of Tao Liu's 62nd Division of the Hunan Army, and the contemptible person is the Wu Ming you spat on just now."

"Huh?"

Wu Ming's words almost didn't startle Tao Liu's jaw, Wu Ming's name is very loud, you must know that Chen Guangzhong, the commander of the 63rd Division, who was the absolute main force of the Red Party in the Yushan exercise, had a good relationship with Tao Guang, the former commander of the 62nd Division and Tao Liu's brother, and Major General Li Bojiao, the commander of the 187th Brigade of the 63rd Division, also received training in the New Second Division for half a month, and knew far more about the New Second Division than others. The two troops are both members of the Hunan Army, and they communicate with each other, and Tao Liu also knows a lot about the details of the new Second Division.

"It's-"

Tao Liu was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that he would be caught gossiping behind his back, so he had to bow his hand politely, and said to him left and right: "Master Wu, why are you here to be valuable?" ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly, returned the salute and pointed to the stunned quartermaster behind Tao Liu: "I came to ask for arms and materials" Wu Ming crossed Tao Liu and came to He Shangwen, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter: "Where is the chief, I heard Deputy Commander Huang say that you went to Nanjing on a business trip, I didn't expect to come back so soon, you really come and go like the wind, you don't even have to take a plane as fast as you, you may not know how to do it when you just came back, today my chief of staff has been waiting for you in your office for more than two hours......"

He Shangwen coughed a little embarrassed and said, "Master Wu, I can't help it." Commander Zhang and Deputy Commander Huang have both explained that your new Second Division no longer belongs to our Eighth Group Army, so how can you squeeze out our already limited military stockpile? The Ninth Army that your new second division is going to is a descendant of the Central Army, and the weapons and equipment there are much better than ours, so don't be embarrassed for me."

"Do you still want to listen to the orders of the Military Committee? I came to receive weapons and equipment on the orders of Chairman Chiang."

Wu Ming asked rhetorically, then pointed to the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division who were controlled by the guard battalion and the guns and ammunition boxes placed on the ground, and asked, "These are all allocated to the 62nd Division, right?" ”

He Shangwen glanced at Wu Ming, and said in his heart, didn't you see it all? But Wu Ming was notorious, He Shangwen nodded helplessly, and said: "The sixty-second division was ordered to defend the front line of Jinshanwei, lacking mines and barbed wire, and also replenishing some guns and ammunition, all here."

"Oh-"

Wu Ming nodded and stretched out his hand backwards: "Dongning, hurry up and bring the telegram from the Military Committee, we will also receive weapons and equipment." ”

"Hey, here we are"

Zhang Dongning, who came out of the darkness, smiled, and quickly took out the telegram from the folder and handed it to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming took it, raised a flashlight to shine on it, and came to He Shangwen's eyes: "You can take a good look, this is an order personally signed by Chairman Jiang of Nanjing, do you want to disobey the order?" ”

He Shangwen opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, and nodded helplessly under Wu Ming's forced gaze.
