Chapter 194 Sensation (2)
At about 3:00 p.m. on the 4th, Nanjing Central News Agency released major news to the whole country through radio:
"A new 10th Brigade belonging to the Central Army's anti-rebellion troops, at 10:30 this morning, was wiped out the 14th Division of the Guangdong-Jiangxi main force that was unscrupulously invaded Jiangxi, capturing more than 6,000 Guangdong military officers and soldiers, including Chen Zhang, Chief of Staff Deng Bohan, Brigade Commander Ye Jinhua, and other more than 6,000 Guangdong military officers and soldiers, severely attacking the conspiracy and separatist forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, and boosting the hearts of the army and the people..."
After this major news broadcast, the radio broadcast the battlefield interview documentary of the frontline reporters of the Central News Agency, which immediately caused a sensation in all walks of life across the country. The agencies in China quickly realized that the war between the Nanjing Central Government and Guangdong and Guangxi was inevitable, and went to the Executive Yuan one after another. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sought confirmation, and hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists rushed to southern Jiangxi for on-site interviews.
At 4 pm, the southern foot of Xiangshan Mountain in Guilin, Guangxi, and the Gui Army General Headquarters.
Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi were worried when Chen Jitang replied to the telegram from Guangzhou. They never expected that the well-equipped Guangdong Army's main force, the 14th Division, was completely wiped out by a new brigade of the Central Army. Not only were the division commanders and brigade commanders captured, but all the equipment and the newly-organized artillery company were also disarmed. This was not just a problem of local defeat.
Li Zongren shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Oh, remember, before leaving Guangzhou, you specially reminded Chen Bonan to be careful of Wu Ming on the Eastern Front, otherwise you may suffer a great loss, and you will be surprised to say it."
Bai Chongxi waved his hand and said, "I had underestimated this Wu Ming before, and I never expected this man to be so scheming. From the beginning of his raid on a regiment in the front line of the 14th Division, to the end, the entire 14th Division was wiped out, and it took only thirty hours in total. What kind of means and courage would it take to achieve it?"
"Another, judging from Chen Bonan's few words of war situation, I'm afraid the 14th Division is not only taken away by Nanxiong's lair, but there must be a series of situations we have not yet understood. I even suspect that it is closely related to the previous Guangdong Air Force reconnaissance plane crash.
Li Zongren agreed with Bai Chongxi's judgment very much: "Unfortunately, the Central News Agency's radio did not mention the specific battle process. Chen Bonan seemed even more shameless to say that it would be difficult to figure out the process of this battle. Why don't you send Liu Fei a telegram to ask him and ask him to ask him how Chen Bonan was going to deal with more than 6,000 captured officers and soldiers? Is it a temporary placement or send someone to negotiate? This is a major event involving the political level, and we may be quite passive."
Bai Chongxi immediately took out the pen and said, "Okay, I'll plan to send a telegram now. After that, brother will see what to add. I guess Chen Bonan is already in a state of anxiety at this time."
When the outside world's reports on the "Border War" were overwhelming, Wu Ming's troops had voluntarily abandoned all positions in Guangdong. Except for the wild wolf-like spy companies, the officers and soldiers of the brigade were still rushing around in the junction of the two provinces, the rest of the troops had escorted prisoners and seized a large number of them and returned to Xinfeng County.
The brothers from the engineering camp who returned one day later not only cleaned every battlefield, but also buried all the bodies of Guangdong soldiers who could find them together with the representatives of the officers and soldiers sent by the prisoners of the Guangdong Army. They marked them with the stone tablets carved out of the grass, and made detailed marks and made solemnly to the heavy-hearted Guangdong soldiers.
The next morning, the second Independent Division of the Guangdong Army, which was urgently driven from Shaoshan, rushed to Wujing Town and soon discovered the stone tablets erected under the hills of the south mountain of the town and rows of simple but neat cemeteries. While sighing, they were not in the mood to find trouble for Wu Ming's brigade, and even if they wanted to make trouble, they still had the lives of more than 6,000 brothers.
Seeing that the fight could not be fought for a while, Wu Ming's officers and soldiers were all given three days of rest. At this time, Wu Ming no longer needed to continue to conceal the real combat power of the headquarters. He generously issued two months of military rank, allowing the officers and soldiers to change into brand new and straight Central Army uniforms and go out to camp in a respite. As long as they did not violate military rules and did not bully the people, the brothers ignored Wu Ming, and almost all the brothers in the brigade shouted long live.
Only Steve, the director of the Field Hospital, kept complaining and warned Wu Ming several times in private: "If the flower willow disease spreads, don't blame my brothers in the Field Hospital for being incompetent in medical skills."
Wu Ming left his words irresponsibly, which made Steve pissed his mother so angry that he felt it was reasonable, so he did not miss it.
The whole sentence is as follows: "Didn't you confiscate several large bags of potassium permanganate in that business? You can divide them into small bags and send them to your brothers, let them boil water themselves, put the potassium permanganate in and mix well, and each person makes a bamboo tube with a full potion and tie it around his waist. After going out, he puts the dick into the bamboo tube and bubbles, which will probably reduce a lot of trouble for you."
Starting from June 5, more and more Chinese and foreign journalists arrived in Xinfeng City. Each of them asked to interview Wu Ming, an outstanding general of the Central Army who commanded the "Border Site Battle". In the end, most of the journalists were blocked outside the small bridge leading to Tianxin Temple in the west of the city. The military camps in the city where the prisoners were imprisoned also urgently added posts, prohibiting anyone from entering the interview.
There are only two Central News Agency text reporters and one photojournalist who are familiar with Wu Ming. The three of them can not only see Wu Ming every day, but also go freely to and from the prisoner-of-war camps in the city and imprison the Tianxinguan backyard where officers above the Guangdong Army were imprisoned, but also drink and chat with Wu Ming. They live a very comfortable and comfortable life, both in work and life.
On June 7, Wu Ming finished reading the investigation report of Zhang Dongning's collusion case, and agreed to release Deputy County Magistrate Xinfeng and Police Chief, who had paid more than 300,000 yuan in exchange for future prospects. Two Guangdong businessmen and seven accomplices who had confessed and had conclusive evidence continued to be detained, and the rest were released.
Zhang Dongning understood it. Over the past few days, he had confiscated more than 900,000 yuan in cash from two major trading houses and a money house of two Guangdong merchants. If two Guangdong merchants with millions of dollars want to survive, they would probably have to pay 500,000 yuan in ransoms to release them. Otherwise, he and Wu Ming would rather shoot the person and would not give anyone face.
As for the other seven accomplices, there are only two ways to go, one is to be killed as scapegoats, and the other is that their two big bosses are willing to pay huge ransoms for them.
At 2:00 p.m. on the 7th, there was no news about the Guangdong Army negotiator who was waiting for in Wu Ming. Instead, Kang Ze, who had rushed from Nanjing, took his men to take two cars and came back again under the escort of two personnel carriers. He was followed by Lieutenant General Guo Erzhen, deputy director of the Army Organization Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lieutenant General Liu Zushun, chief of the First Section of the Military Commission's Perspective Department, and their adjutants.
Seeing the big bosses gathered, Wu Ming respectfully stepped forward to report. After the serious Guo Erzhen returned the gift, he told Wu Ming that he was ordered by Minister He Yingqin of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission, and he came to announce the latest orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission. After that, he would return to Ganzhou immediately and take a special plane to rush back to Nanchang.
Without saying a word, Wu Ming immediately led the group into the cool Tianxin Pavilion and sat down.
