"Luo crooked mouth, what do you mean by your grandson?"

Wu Ming's bright eyes narrowed into a slit, his expression was quite unhappy, his eyes locked on Luo Yuming, and he snorted coldly: "What's so terrible about the Japanese army ambushing on all sides? He has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, it's a big deal, the fish die and the net is broken, what are you afraid of? I see, is your grandson dead? If you are afraid of death, you can leave the army on your own and go first, I will never stop you."

Luo Yuming's face flushed, his eyes widened with anger, and he raised his head and said loudly: "Shizuo, when you were still the battalion commander, I followed you...... You know me, when have I ever been afraid of Luo Yuming? ”

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and felt in his heart that Luo Yuming was not greedy for life and afraid of death. After softening his tone, Wu Ming said earnestly: "Then what do you mean?" Do you want us to be like frightened birds, leaving everything behind and escaping alone? Are we still soldiers defending our homeland? How will you face the old folks in Zhejiang in the future? ”

"No"

Luo Yuming shook his head vigorously, his eyes were full of tears, and he said sincerely: "Shizuo, the situation is extremely critical now, the Japanese army is attacking from many places, Hangzhou City is about to die, and it will be dangerous for you to stay."

Listening to Luo Yuming's words, Wu Ming smiled and didn't say anything, lowered his head, looked at the map and fell into thought.

Luo Yuming was a little anxious, and continued to persuade: "Master, you are our backbone, everyone can die on the battlefield, but you can't be the only one who can gather talents around you and rebuild a trump card team with great achievements." Before Chief of Staff Zhang left, we discussed that if the situation is dangerous, we must send you away first. ”

"I'm leaving, what will happen to the soldiers who stay...... In the Changshan camp, in the Phoenix Mountain base, on every training ground, do not abandon or give up, the words that each of us engraves in our hearts, do you want me to disobey? The soldiers fought bloody battles in front...... Wu Ming was a little excited, and almost used a roar to vent: "As their backbone, I escaped, don't you think this is the biggest betrayal to them?" If the officers and men knew that their division commander had escaped from the battle, they would still be able to fight with peace of mind, and would the combat effectiveness of the troops be guaranteed? ”

"Shizuo, although you can rest assured about this, anyone who is in the new Second Division will never say such a thing, especially in the minds of the soldiers of our First Brigade, the safety of the division is more important than anything else."

There was a blur in his eyes, tears unconsciously burst out of his eyes, Luo Yuming couldn't care about wiping it, and said to Wu Ming very sincerely: "Shizuo, now I take the initiative to ask Shizuo for promotion, and I will be the commander of the new Second Division, I will stay with a group and escort the provincial capital westward."

Wu Ming was stunned, and after a little thought, his eyes suddenly turned red.

The Japanese army was about to encircle, and the situation of the new second division was very bad, Luo Yuming took the initiative to ask the new second division commander at this time, just to replace Wu Ming to die calmly, so that Wu Ming could lead the main force of the division to escape from the Japanese encirclement. can calmly go to death as the commander, and have no regrets, his iron bones are strong, and his wind and bones show that Wu Ming was moved

can be moved to be moved, how could Wu Ming, as the coach, leave behind many brothers and escape alone? If this is the case, how will Wu Ming face the families of the brothers who died in the war in the future, and how will he face the heroic souls of the sacrificed soldiers?

Thinking of this, Wu Ming shook his head vigorously and said impassionedly: "I can't go, when I am your eldest brother, don't say such things again in the future"

Luo Yuming knelt on the ground with a "poof", tilted his head, and bean-sized tears poured out one after another, begging with a heart-rending wail:

"Master, I beg you...... It is not easy for our new second division to get to today, seeing that it is about to be expanded into an army, it is a pity that it is all lost here, Mao Liangwu has finally developed to the present, and has become the premier military industrial base in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, once you have an accident, it is to make a wedding dress for others, and the hopes of all the soldiers are pinned on you, you better leave......"

Speaking of the worst of the end, Luo Yuming couldn't cry.

"Okay, don't say it, I won't leave my brothers when you get up, never" Wu Ming flatly refused.

"Master—"

Seeing that Wu Ming's attitude was extremely resolute, Luo Yuming knelt on the ground and didn't get up, he was extremely angry, and couldn't help but look at Chengyuan on the side.

In front of the tears of this tough steel guy, Cheng Yuan was extremely moved, and immediately leaned in front of Wu Ming, and said in a low voice: "Master, Brigade Commander Luo is also out of good intentions, the brothers are very concerned about your safety, if you don't leave, the brothers will not feel at ease even if they go to the battlefield." ”

"You shut up"

Wu Ming turned around, shouted loudly, and wanted to say a few words, when there was a chaotic sound outside the division headquarters

"What kind of system is it that is noisy and shouting? That grandson is outside? Wu Ming asked loudly.

Lu Kuiyuan, the commander of the guard battalion, rushed in, followed by a group of well-armed officers and soldiers of the special service company, and when they saw Wu Ming, a complicated look flashed in their eyes.

Lu Kuiyuan didn't care about saluting, stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ming's hand, and said anxiously: "Master, you should hurry up, it's too late if you don't leave."

Wu Ming pushed Lu Kuiyuan away, his face full of anger: "Tell me, where is your current position?" How did your unit carry out the raids and harassment of the Japanese troops moving south and west, and did you lay the mines that should have been laid? Did you figure out how to make the Japanese march less fast...... Say, what did you do when you put down your work and come to the division headquarters? ”

Lu Kuiyuan straightened his waist and said solemnly: "Division, the situation is extremely critical, the Japanese army of more than 100,000 troops has laid a heavy net, as your guard battalion commander, I have the right to send you out of the encirclement if necessary."

"Fart, who gives the power?"

Wu Ming was even more angry, and scolded Lu Kuiyuan with a cold face: "Even if I die, I won't leave first, unless you shoot me now" Wu Ming took a step forward and said loudly to Lu Kuiyuan: "Lu Kuiyuan, now I order you to immediately return to your post with your soldiers"

Hearing Wu Ming say so seriously, Lu Kuiyuan lowered his head in frustration.

The Japanese army had the second, seventh, and eighteenth divisions on the north bank of the Qiantang River, and at the same time, the fourth division had already landed a brigade and a wing, and the strength of the Japanese army on the Zhuantang line had been significantly enhanced, and the opponent's more than 100,000 troops gathered in Hangzhou to encircle, pursue, and intercept the new second division, and the road to the west was full of ups and downs.

Zhang Ying sent all kinds of dangers to the officers of the brigades and regiments of the New Second Division and the Temporary Third Division, and everyone communicated with Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning, and finally decided that Lu Kuiyuan would lead the special service company to escort Wu Ming away.

If it was normal times, Lu Kuiyuan would definitely obey Wu Ming's orders unconditionally. However, now it is not only about Wu Ming's life safety, but also about the future of the new Second Division and Mao Liangwu, which will be expanded into an army. Lu Kuiyuan hesitated, looked left and right helplessly, and faced the angry Wu Ming at the back, and stood there like a pillar

"Master, you just listen to everyone's opinions" Lei Peng, the commander of the second company of the special agent, could only persuade him.

How easily can the will of the commander be shaken?

Wu Ming was angry and anxious, and asked loudly: "We can make the little devils cry wolf on the battlefields of Songhu and eastern Zhejiang, not because of how capable Wu Ming is, but because our whole division has ordered and forbidden, and every one of our officers and soldiers understands the truth that military orders are like mountains." But look, what do you do with my commands now? ”

After saying this, Luo Yuming and the others blushed and their hearts were beating, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

Seeing the performance of Luo Yuming and others, Wu Ming let out a long sigh, and then said: "The most important thing in an army is the soul that never admits defeat, we have established this soul, and it took us five years to establish this soul If I follow your advice and leave today, even if I can rebuild the new second division in the future, the lost military soul will never be recovered, and a unit that has lost its military soul will not be able to win the battle."

"Besides, you guys, don't use your brains to think about it, are we really at the end of the mountain? Was the Japanese encirclement really invulnerable? Don't we have the slightest hope of escape? I don't think so."

Luo Yuming and the others were also dizzy before, but now when they heard Wu Ming say this, they suddenly calmed down, glanced at each other, and were suddenly full of hope.

Lu Kuiyuan looked at Wu Ming expectantly, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what good ideas do you have?" ”

Everyone also looked at Wu Ming nervously. For a long time, Wu Ming did not care much about the daily affairs of the new Second Division, and all kinds of things were handed over to special people. However, whenever the new second division encounters difficulties, Wu Ming will be like a needle in the sea, and a few words can ⊥ everyone to eat a reassuring pill, and the same is true now.

Seeing that the panicked and frightened look on everyone's faces disappeared, and the light of hope flashed in his eyes, Wu Ming was angry and funny, and beckoned: "Let's come and look at the map."

As the house surrounded the table, Wu Ming pointed to the vast area in Yuhang and the north of Lin'an, and analyzed: "The biggest threat to us now is the Second Division under the command of Okamura Ningji, who traveled all the way from the southwest of Deqing County to the south, preparing to intercept our back road. ”

"From the perspective of topography and landform, the road ahead of the Second Division is rugged, from north to south, in addition to the mountains in the south of Deqing County, there are five or six rivers such as Beitiaoxi and Zhongtiaoxi, and there are mountains and forests such as Hualingwu in the south of Changle Town, which is extremely inconvenient to travel, but we are going to take the official road next to Xixi and Nantiaoxi, and the advantages and disadvantages of both sides are clear at a glance."

"No matter how you look at it, the chances of the Japanese army blocking us are not very high, and the only thing we need to worry about is how to avoid being caught up by the Japanese army"

Luo Yuming calmed down, thought for a while and asked: "The second division of the Japanese army is an elite main division, and its actions must be extremely fast. On the other hand, if we only marched, it would be fine, and there would be no problem in reaching Lin'an in one day, but we needed to escort the provincial government dignitaries, money, food, taxes and other materials, and the official roads next to Xixi and Nantiaoxi were crowded with people fleeing westward, and with them blocking us, there was not much time left for us. ”

"Yes, Lao Luo's concerns are still reasonable"

Wu Ming pointed to Zhongtiaoxi, which is more than 20 miles north of the Yuhang-Lin'an highway, and analyzed: "Let's see, the Second Division crossed mountains and mountains and then hurried in the dense area of the water network, and there was no way to accompany heavy firepower equipment such as artillery and tanks. It is now the middle of winter, Zhongtiaoxi is located in a hilly area, the river water is cold and biting, the river drop is large and the water is turbulent, as long as we set up a blocking position on the Hualingwu line on the south bank of Zhongtiaoxi, as long as we are well prepared, we can resist the Japanese army for at least three to four days. ”

Zhang Ying, who had been silent before, suddenly realized that she had muttered: "Oh, I finally know now that the chief of staff of the division got off the bus in advance when he arrived in Hangzhou, and led the first battalion of the division's engineer regiment, the infantry company of the baggage regiment, the infantry company directly under the artillery regiment and the newly formed infantry artillery battalion to rush to Lin'an.

"Yes, I was afraid that the Japanese army would come to this hand before, but I didn't expect it to come true" Wu Ming smiled slightly, and said to the generals: "Since we are not even afraid of the killer weapon of the Japanese, what are you worried about?" ”
