"I advise you to hurry up, and when we turn around and let our division commander see it, we will definitely ask someone to arrest you all...... When the time comes, everyone's faces will not look good."

A villain like Kong Erye, who disregards the interests of the country and the nation and makes a fortune in the country, if Wu Ming's temper in the past is to directly arrest him and shoot him, but now Wu Ming's position is very critical, and the relationship between Kong Shenxi and Chiang Kai-shek is too close, there is really no need to make extraneous branches at this critical juncture.

Seeing that Wu Ming had the intention of retreating, Second Master Kong became more and more proud, and snorted with a disdainful expression. A helper next to him patted Kong Erye's ass, pointed at Wu Ming with his hand, and said in a fierce voice:

"If you are interested, hurry up and make amends to our Second Master Kong, otherwise our Second Master Kong will launch a thunderous rage, and you will suffer. And Deputy Division Commander Long, you have always refused to buy our steel bars and ashes, today we must settle this old account well, so that you know how powerful the Kong family is."

Wu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the extremely arrogant Second Master Kong and the ruffians and hooligans, and said in his heart that they were really a group of guys who didn't know whether to live or die.

Long Shaogang leaned into Wu Ming's ear and whispered a clear understanding of the dispute with the Kong family. Three months ago, Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong went to Jiaxing with four regiments of the New Second Division Supplementary Brigade to build national defense fortifications along the Zhajia line.

If the quality of the material is passed, everything is naturally easy to talk about, but who knows that when the road is inspected, it is found that all are defective goods.

Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong were ordered by Wu Ming to build the Zhajia Line into a model project, but they couldn't ignore national defense and security in order to curry favor with the Kong family, and flatly refused. Although the two sides of Pinghutang are within five kilometers of the military control zone, Kong Erye holds a special pass issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Government, and treats military law as nothing, just like visiting a vegetable market.

Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong withstood the pressure, which made Kong Erye furious, and threatened to make the new second division look good

Wu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness after hearing this, at the time of the Japanese army's large-scale invasion, the Kong family was thinking about making money, it was really unbearable to do evil, and people couldn't live if they did evil.

Wu Ming turned around and glanced at Cheng Yuan behind him.

Sun Chengyuan nodded, whistled, and quickly rushed out of the barracks a company of officers and soldiers, who were armed with Thomson submachine guns, and surrounded Kong Erye and a group of ruffians in the middle.

Second Master Kong looked at Leng Sensen's muzzle, shuddered, and unconsciously shrank back into the crowd, but then felt that he had lost face, and stretched his neck again and shouted towards the camp gate: "Deputy Division Commander Long, don't mess around, offend our Kong family, your new second division can't eat and walk around."

Wu Ming walked out of the camp with Long Shaogang and Zhang Dongning, and looked coldly at the arrogant Second Master Kong who cursed loudly. Those helpers didn't have any eyesight at all, and at this time they were still holding the signboard of Second Master Kong, and shouted arrogantly: "Long Shaogang, Yin Dizhong, what do you think, how dare you be rude to our Second Master Kong...... You are causing trouble for the new Second Division. I tell you, when your division commander comes, he will definitely give you a good look, so you just wait and see."

"Oh? Is it? ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly, his eyes were like torches: "I'm sorry, contemptible Wu Ming, the commander of the new Second Division" Speaking of this, Wu Ming looked at Second Master Kong, and his undignified momentum suddenly made Second Master Kong feel difficult to breathe for a while.

Wu Ming asked lightly: "I don't know what this Dao Dao has to say?" ”

A bright smile instantly appeared on Kong Erye's face, and he just wanted to lean over to talk, but he was blocked by Leng Sensen's muzzle, so he had to stand on tiptoe and say loudly to Wu Ming: "Master Wu, I have a letter from Chairman Huang here."

"Let Him Come"

After Wu Ming finished ordering, the guards suddenly spread out, Kong Erye came over tremblingly, and the followers also wanted to follow, but they were forced back by the muzzle.

When he came to Wu Ming's side, Kong Erye had a smile on his face, bent his body slightly, humbly took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Wu Ming with both hands:

"General Wu, this is a handwritten letter from Mr. Huang Shao, Chairman of Zhejiang Province, originally I wanted to send it to you, but you have been staying in western Zhejiang...... By the way, a while ago, you also defeated the Hunan army and the Yu army with one enemy and three in the Yushan exercise, and by the way, even the chairman of the Imperial Forest Army was destroyed, which is really powerful and domineering, admire and admire."

Wu Ming took the letter, but he didn't open it immediately, glanced at Second Master Kong, and asked pretending not to know, "Are you-"

"I am the younger brother of Dean Kong, and I also belong to the Xiangzi generation, helping Dean Kong and Mrs. Kong manage the business of the Hangzhou branch of Seven Star Company, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the second master Kong."

Seeing Wu Ming ask about his origin, Kong Er Ye smiled proudly, his body suddenly stood up a lot, and his originally lowered head was raised high again, like a proud rooster. In his heart, Kong Shenxi's signboard is invincible in the coastal provinces, and in terms of Huang Shao's affection for him, he is just a new commander of the Second Division, and he Kong Erye doesn't pay much attention to it.

The smugness on Second Master Kong's face, Wu Ming saw it in his eyes, and raised his hand to open Huang Shao's letter.

What was written in the letter was that the steel bars, ash and red bricks represented by the Seven Star Company were of good quality, strong and durable, and were specially recommended to the new Second Division to build national defense fortifications. It was just a few words, extremely blunt, and the words were also full of the helplessness of the chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, after all, everyone knew the greed of the Kong family, but no one could help it.

Wu Ming turned his head and shook the letter paper in his hand: "Mr. Kong, are you sure that this letter was written by Mr. Huang Shao, chairman of Zhejiang Province?" ”

"Yes, when he wrote, I stood by and watched it with my own eyes" Kong Erye nodded, looking smug.

"Nonsense"

Wu Ming snorted coldly: "This letter is fake...... I have seen Chairman Huang's handwritten letter, and this letter is not Chairman Huang's handwriting at all" Then, Wu Ming's face was frosty and he shouted: "Who are you?" How dare you take a fake letter to swagger and say"

Kong Erye usually plays Kong Shenxi's signboard, and he is used to being domineering, but now Wu Ming turned his face, and suddenly ran out of words, trembling and speechless, and after a while he stammered and explained: "Wu... General Wu, that letter is really ...... It was really written by Chairman Huang, and I took the sticker...... It's true—"

Wu Ming's face was a little colder, his eyes shot a sharp light, and he said sternly: "Don't talk about the handwriting, even the official seal, you dare to say that it's true?" With such an obvious mistake or omission, can I not wronged you? ”

Wu Ming turned his head, no longer paying attention to Kong Erye's arguments, and with a wave of his hand, Cheng Yuan stepped forward and directly caught Kong Erye, Kong Erye staggered and fell to the ground in a posture, tears of pain broke out, he desperately turned his head and shouted at Wu Ming to warn: "General Wu, I am a member of the Kong family, you have to think clearly, me."

The next moment, he didn't dare to speak, because Cheng Yuan took out a gun, and the cold muzzle was aimed at his eyebrows, and Kong Er Ye was so frightened that cold sweat poured down, and he didn't dare to move again.

Looking at the puddle of muddy Second Master Kong, Wu Ming didn't look at it, and said sharply: "Privately fabricating official letters to swindle, violating military regulations and military discipline to trespass on national defense fortifications, insulting senior government officials, and threatening army generals, any of which are serious crimes...... Catch them all."

With Wu Ming's order, Sun Chengyuan waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers of the guard company rushed up and escorted away a group of ruffians and hooligans, and Sun Chengyuan himself walked into the barracks with Kong Erye.

"When the national disaster is at hand, the Kong family still stretches out their hands indiscriminately, if they don't die, they won't die"

Wu Ming looked coldly at Second Master Kong, who was wailing loudly and cursing constantly, and couldn't stop grieving in his heart. During the eight-year War of Resistance, the Kong family's wealth increased dozens of times, and I don't know how much of it was exchanged for the blood and tears of the Chinese

Long Shaogang had a steady personality, and asked with some hesitation: "Master, we have arrested Second Master Kong, and Dean Kong and Mrs. Kong will definitely not give up." What do we do next? ”

"Ahh

Wu Ming sighed slightly. The Japanese army has sharpened its knives, and the Battle of Songhu is about to break out, and the new second division will pull to the front line at any time. Fortunately, Kong Xiangxi and his wife are still in Europe at this time, and they will shuttle back and forth between Europe and the United States for the next two or three months, which will not affect China for the time being.

Wu Ming didn't want to collide head-on with Kong Xiangxi now, in his memory, during the Liberation War, Chiang Ching-kuo's Shanghai Tiger Fighting Operation, the eldest young master of the Kong family made Jiang Jingguo disgraced, which shows that the Kong family is powerful.

After pondering for a while, Wu Ming instructed Long Shaogang: "In the early hours of the morning, send Second Master Kong and his henchmen quietly to Quzhou by water, and hand them over to Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang for handling, and then inform Director Xu of the Quzhou Party Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department by the way. ”

Wu Ming's move was to push Chiang Ching-kuo out to deal with the Kong family.

Xu En was a general of the CC department, and although the two brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu were among the four major families of the Republic of China, later generations proved that the second Chen was in charge of party affairs and did not see evidence of using public affairs to collect money for private gain, did not marry multiple wives and had no names, and was recognized as having good personal conduct. Although there are also corruption, embezzlement and other problems within the Party Affairs Investigation Department, it is never ambiguous about military affairs, and although it does not dare to say that it can confront the Confucian family, it can at least carry out checks and balances.

Long Shaogang was not very familiar with Jiang Jingguo, and frowned slightly: "Deputy Chief of Staff Jiang will definitely see the intention of the division, will he be resentful?" ”

Wu Ming waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this" Wu Ming knew that with Jiang Jingguo's ability, he would definitely see that he was planning to kill people with a knife, but if he fully understood the crimes committed by the Kong family against this country and nation, and with Jiang Jingguo's jealous and hateful nature, he would definitely volunteer to be the knife in Wu Ming's hand.

On the way to Zhapu Town, Long Shaogang reported some weak points in the defense fortifications.

The defense fortifications in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were designed by the German advisory group, and the Germans have always been strict and rigid, and the pillboxes must have the ability to withstand two direct hits from the 10 mm main gun, if it is really in accordance with the construction requirements of the Germans, it is equivalent to the second Maginot Line. However, the central government in Nanjing had a limited budget and no financial resources to bear it, and the Confucian family was up and down, which led to serious corners, and many bunkers were only built with an empty shell there, which was considered to be the completion of the task.

Although the new 2nd Division has now rebuilt the Zhajia defense fortifications Jiaxing-Zhapu line, the 39th Army is responsible for the construction of the defense fortifications on the Pinghu-Jiashan line, and Long Shaogang is worried that there will be problems.

In the following two days, accompanied by the generals of the supplementary brigade, Wu Ming inspected all the important strongholds and large pillbox fortifications on the Zhajia line from Jiaxing to Pinghu and then to Zhapu, and Wu Ming became more and more satisfied with the work of Long Shaogang and Yin Dizhong.

On the night of 9 August, when Wu Ming returned to the headquarters of the new Second Division in Pinghu City, news came from Shanghai that Japanese Marine Corps Lieutenant Yuo Oyama and soldier Saito Yozo drove a military vehicle into the cordon of Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport and shot and killed the officers and men of China's security team guarding the airport.

The Battle of Songhu finally kicked off......
