At four o'clock in the morning, Chen Cheng's bedroom door was knocked, and Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying, who were still sighing and not knowing how to face hungry officers and soldiers tomorrow, were stunned for a moment, Luo Zhuoying got up and opened the door, and was very surprised to see the familiar Long Shaogang, and immediately pulled Long Shaogang in to introduce Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng was very grateful to the Fifth Security Regiment for their hospitality and great help, Long Shaogang waited for him to finish, smiled and turned around and went out, led two brothers carrying a heavy wooden box in, and motioned for the two brothers to go out and wait.

Under the stunned gaze of Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying, Long Shaogang pointed to the wooden box and said apologetically:

"It's already past one o'clock in the morning after receiving the order from Regiment Commander Wu, and I am too anxious to come first, so I can only bring five thousand oceans first, but please rest assured that the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Quzhou Branch of the Maoliangwu Chamber of Commerce have received a notice from our Regiment Commander Wu that they will definitely send enough food and materials tomorrow morning."

"This camp has not been used for a long time, pots and pans are not estimated, and the subordinates have to go to the hardware factory in front of them, so that the brothers in the factory can solve it as soon as possible. I'll see you tomorrow for now! ”

"Wait! Captain Long, where is Captain Wu? I would like to thank him in person. Chen said sincerely.

Long Shaogang knew that Wu Ming went to Maoliangwu for the sake of the arsenal and the Fenghuangshan training base, but these secrets could not be told to outsiders, so he had to say vaguely and perfunctorily

"Our head Wu is now in Maoliangwu, dozens of kilometers north of Changshan...... He should have gone to inspect two mines, we have an engineer company and two recruit companies have been training there, I guess he is not at ease after not seeing him for a long time. ”

Luo Zhuoying was surprised: "How did Wu Tuanyi contact you?" ”

Long Shaogang proudly introduced: "Radio station! Halfway up the hill behind the regimental headquarters where the general rested last night, there was a radio relay station that we set up in the second half of last year, and radio signals within a range of 2,000 kilometers could be received normally. ”

Chen Cheng was taken aback: "Your radio communication has reached such a level? ”

Long Shaogang was puzzled: "The general doesn't know what to do?" ”

"What do you know?" Chen Cheng asked curiously.

Long Shaogang explained: "Some time ago, when our Fifth Regiment was ordered to go to Jiangxi to participate in the war, we brought half a communications company and three radio stations...... The subordinates stayed in Changshan, and every day they would receive a report on the battle situation sent back by Commander Wu from the front line, and if there was anything that could not be decided, they could also ask Commander Wu for instructions at any time. ”

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, smiled slightly, and thanked Long Shaogang again, and thanked Wu Ming and the brothers in the security forces for their great help. Long Shaogang said a few polite words, looked at his watch and hurriedly said goodbye.

After sending Long Shaogang away, Chen Cheng and Luo Zhuoying returned to the house to open the wooden box, and were moved to see the ocean stacked in layers of tubes.

The most urgent difficulties were solved, the two sat down without sleepiness and discussed eagerly, and the careful Luo Zhuoying praised Long Shaogang's sincerity and righteousness, and mentioned an interesting story by the way:

"I guess my brother didn't pay attention to the watch in the deputy of Long Tuan, I can see clearly, last year's latest Swiss Rolex waterproof Perpetual watch, Shanghai Ocean Line price tag 4,000 Dafeng! It can be seen that Wu Mingtuan is quite rich! ”

Chen Cheng was only slightly surprised, so he thought of going somewhere else, he speculated that it was Yu Jishi who learned that he had called, and guessed the predicament of the Eighteenth Army, so he called Wu Ming, the commander of the Fifth Regiment directly under the town guarding western Zhejiang, to help solve it, and it was estimated that he would receive Yu Jishi's call tomorrow morning.

But there is one thing that makes Chen Cheng very puzzled and surprised, he never thought that a small security head could mobilize the Quzhou Chamber of Commerce, if such a thing happens in a remote small county, it is normal, but it is not a simple matter to happen in the rich Quzhou, which is the thoroughfare of the four provinces and has jurisdiction over the seven surrounding counties, it can only show one problem - Wu Ming is very powerful in Quzhou.

Chen Cheng told Luo Zhuoying about his analysis, and then traced back to last year and the year before when the Zhejiang security forces were not separated, and a general he had not been in contact with surfaced:

Although Yu Liangzhen is the director of the provincial security department, he has only been in office for more than four months, and his influence cannot spread to Quzhou at once, and he cannot shake Lu Zhongxiu, the commissioner of the Quzhou Administrative Office...... Lu Zhongxiu was a conservative cadre of the old Military Commission, and Wang Jingwei, Sun Ke and others formed a faction that forced the commission to sit in the wilderness, and they were among them; after the resurgence of the commission, the conservatives of the old Military Commission were cornered, and in order to protect themselves, they quietly disbanded, and most of them were expelled from the central government, so they took refuge in the political science department controlled by Yang Yongtai, Xiong Shihui, Huang Yin, Zhang Qun, Wu Tiecheng, and others. ”

"Now the Department of Political Science is the time when the spring breeze is full of development, and even the CC Department can't compete with it, so I guess Lu Zhongxiu is also a member of the Department of Political Science, so he will collude with Yang Shuitai and Xiong Shihui to fall into the ground. At present, there is only one person who has the ability to work against Lu Zhongxiu and has great influence in Quzhou: that is Fang Youchun, deputy director of the Zhejiang Provincial Security Department, former commander of the West Zhejiang Security Command, and CC cadre! ”

Luo Zhuoying suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the case!" By the way, I heard that Wu Ming is Fang Youchun's brother-in-law, and he is also the chief military instructor of the Quzhou Training Base of the Central Party Department, will he also be from the CC department? ”

Chen Cheng didn't dare to make up his mind: "It's hard to say about this...... Before, the CC department had never been involved in the affairs of the army, but since last year, they have not been honest under the suppression of the political science department, but they have never heard of the CC department, which is high above the top and has always taken the upper line, and has accepted any small person below the military commander. Those who can get into their eyes must at least step into the ranks of generals, so just because Fang Youchun is a member of the CC department, it cannot be easily concluded that Wu Ming is too. ”

"Then there is Wu Ming is indeed talented, maverick personality, and he is also affectionate and righteous, listen to your detailed introduction today, and then contact Wu Ming's excellent performance on the battlefield, as well as his new training method and the two pamphlets adopted by the Central Military Academy, which shows that he is very solid in both basic theory and military practice, otherwise there is absolutely no such performance, it is normal for the Quzhou Training Base of the Central Party Department to hire him as a military chief instructor, not to mention anything else, just say that the division commander and brigade commander of our 18th Army, who has Wu Ming's level?"

"That's right......"

The two familiar people talked deeply all night, never sleepless, until the sky was bright, and then they went out side by side to inspect the various departments under their command.

Officers above the commander of the 18th Army gathered in front of the small playground and waited for Chen Cheng's instructions.

Chen Cheng straightened out his military hat and raised his head to climb the review platform more than one meter high, when he was startled by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers from outside the camp.

Dozens of generals and colonels, like Chen Cheng, turned their heads to look at the main gate of the barracks, only to see Long Shaogang and a group of officers and soldiers thanking the sentinels, followed by the people who were holding up three large banners and carrying them on their shoulders, and the big yellow characters written on the red cloth banners made Chen Cheng and his generals extremely moved - warmly welcome the heroic officers and soldiers of the 18th Army stationed in Quzhou I Prefecture General Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the seven counties to pay tribute to the warriors! Support the army and love the people, and have a deep love for fish and water!

Not long after, more than a dozen Ford pick-up trucks loaded with rice, pork and vegetables rumbled into the barracks gate, slowly following behind the thousands of people beating gongs and drums.

Nearly 9,000 officers and men had already rushed out to assemble, crowded the small playground, and one by one they were looking around, and like dozens of their commanders, they were already moved to tears.
