It was already dusk when he left Tan Mansion. Wu Ming took a bus to Xuan Tiewu's apartment in the Provincial Security Department. Only then did he realize that the new security director shouldered Chiang Kai-shek's mission and was still stranded in Jiashan, Jiaxing Heping Lake and other places in northeast Zhejiang. He inspected the Jiangsu-Zhejiang defense line and the construction of local security forces and militias, so he had to give up.

That night, Wu Ming stayed at Liu Rulin's house, who was about to set off for Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The two had a secret talk all night and did not part until dawn.

After seeing Chen Cheng off at Nanxing Railway Station in the south of Hangzhou, Wu Ming went to Daying in the west of the city. Accompanied by Ma Zhizhai, the new deputy director of the Security Department, he inspected the Zhejiang Security Second Security Division, which was formed after the Spring Festival.

Liu Rulin, the former acting director of the Security Department, requested a 16-person instructor group specially transferred from the Phoenix Mountain Base of the New Second Division to strictly train new recruits recruited from the province.

After Ma Zhizhai served as deputy director of the Provincial Security Department, his military rank was subsequently promoted to one level. After many years of his wife became a mother-in-law, she finally became a general.

According to the plan, after the half-month primary training was completed, the newly formed troops would walk to Changshan Camp and carry out one-month intensive training. They would then go to the Phoenix Mountain Base for three months of closed training and finally form an army.

However, at the time when the new and old directors of the Security Department changed, the new director Xuan Tiewu did not make any statement on this, so the Second Security Division had to stay in Xidaying to continue training.

Ma Zhizhai quietly told Wu Ming that Xuan Tiewu had served as Chiang Kai-shek's commander for a long time, and there were many old friends in the army, and people had already been arranged in the important position of the Second Security Division. Xuan Tiewu was afraid that the troops would bring too many marks of the Second New Division, so he still had some doubts about the Second Security Division heading to western Zhejiang for training.

Judging from all aspects, it is estimated that the Second Security Division will not leave Hangzhou.

"It's better not to go to special training"

Wu Ming curled his lips: "This way we can save a lot of trouble... The training tasks of the troops are very tight now. In two months, the entire division will have to conduct a military skills competition and live-fire confrontation exercise. We will arrange it more calmly without outsiders. In addition, militia groups in various counties in eastern Gandong are being expanded, and we need to draw personnel to organize and train... Liu Rulin is also happy to see this matter, and he also asked me to pull up a security guard for him on this basis."

Seeing that Wu Ming was not affected by the cold treatment of Xuan Tiewu, Ma Zhizhai felt much better. During the inspection, he accompanied Wu Ming, there was a little more smile on his face.

On the afternoon of April 4, Wu Ming returned to Changshan and first returned to Fang Mansion to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Then he rushed to Maoliangwu overnight. On the next day, the Qingming Festival, the next day, the school led all the generals to attend the completion ceremony of the Fenghuang Mountain Martyrs Cemetery. This cemetery, located on the southeast foot of Fenghuang Mountain, covers an area of ​​about 500 acres, faces north and south, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. The ashes of the 19 officers and soldiers who died on the trip to Shanghai were buried here, and their families were also invited to attend the worship.

At the main entrance of the cemetery, eight large gilded characters "Anti-Japanese Heroes Immortal" are carved on the granite, which is eight meters high, two meters wide and one-five meters thick. On the base around it, the names and hometowns of the 19 soldiers who died this time are engraved. Wu Ming presented a wreath to the monument and ordered all officers and soldiers attending the ceremony to shoot guns to the sky to express their condolences.

After condolences to the families of the martyrs, he gave each family a pension of 500 oceans, and asked the Maoliangwu Town Government and the militia representatives who attended the ceremony to properly handle the martyrs' funerals. Wu Ming returned to the Phoenix Mountain Base in a heavy mood, and then sorted out his mood and held a brief meeting with the generals and schools.

Wu Ming first introduced his trip to Shanghai.

Starting from what happened in Xiaoshan, Wu Ming talked about the conflict with Liu Jianxu, the changes in Zhejiang's top management and its impact on the headquarters, the shocking situation of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang national defense fortifications turning into a tofu project, and a series of events that occurred in Shanghai, focusing on the battle with the Japanese in Zhabei, and analyzing the disadvantages of the future if a war occurs in Shanghai.

Since Fang Zhibin also attended the meeting, Wu Ming did not talk about the core secrets, including the causes and consequences and benefits of the anti-traitor operation, as well as the deep friendship with Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong and the promotion of future work. After saying that, he asked about the training situation of each department and asked everyone to summarize their respective work.

When the leaders of each group finished speaking, Long Shaogang spoke:

"After receiving the telegram from the division commander, we immediately took action and conducted scientific demonstrations on the expansion of Kaihua Camp and the addition of urban street fighting training projects. After the on-site survey, we were planning to model the urban terrain of Shanghai and build a training ground including a large road, an ordinary street, a narrow lane and a complex and changeable warehouse terrain."

"But it should be noted that it is already early April. Even if we seize the time to build it, we can't get it without half a year. It will be October when the construction is completed. If a war really breaks out in Shanghai, whether our training will be enough will be a big question."

Wu Ming shook his head: "No matter whether the time is urgent or not, we must also add urban street fighting subjects to daily training... As for the construction period, I think if we can do a meticulous division of labor and rotation, three months should be enough. After all, we don't need to build too high buildings, just two or three floors."

"Of course, judging from the current situation, we may not be taken to Shanghai, but it is always good to be prepared for any eventuality. Even if Shanghai cannot be used, what about Nanjing? Or Wuhan? We cannot fight unsure of wars. We must think of all difficulties in front of us so that we will not be helpless at the end of the day."

There was endless discussion in the conference room, and the confidential section chief Du Pingzhang stood up and said, "This time in Shanghai, although our spy company was in contact with street fighting for the first time, with the guidance of the division commander and the targeted tactics formulated, we were at an absolute advantage when facing the Japanese. The Japanese volunteer team was beaten to no avail. However, it must be considered that our opponent is only the Japanese reserve force, not the elite. If the enemy has also received systematic street fighting training, then we will be the one who is unlucky."

"So, I agree with the decision of the division commander. If you don't have to suppress your skills, I don't know how long this war will last. In the future, we will experience various complex and changeable battles. Only by thinking about difficulties ahead can we avoid unnecessary casualties... Today, when we worship the sacrificed martyrs, I was thinking that in the future, I don't know how many soldiers will be buried in the cemetery. What we have to do is to minimize the chance of large-scale casualties.

Du Pingzhang's words aroused everyone's deep thoughts. Seeing that no one had any objections, Wu Ming immediately passed a resolution. In the future, urban street fighting in the New Second Division will be included in the subjects that must be trained. Waiting for an opportunity to record it, Wu Ming announced that he would temporarily recess the meeting and then went to the base cafeteria to have a meal together.

After lunch, a two-hour meeting was held to solve the practical difficulties encountered by the various departments during the training, as well as the start of construction of the Kaihua Portal, Majinxi coastal defense line. When no one objected, Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning announced the discontinuation of the meeting. Then the battalion commanders of each regiment rushed back to their respective garrisons and continued to urge their officers and soldiers to strengthen their training to welcome the military skills competition and live-fire confrontation exercises of the entire division two months later.

At this point, Wu Ming was finally able to put down his affairs and return to Mao Liangwu's home to entertain his wife and have a child.

During the period when Wu Ming left, Fang Zhichun moved his family from Changshan County to Maoliangwu, and moved with Wang Yuehan and his son to the newly built courtyard of the officer's family courtyard behind the affiliated hospital.

Since Wu Ming used to live in an independent yard, he has now been reassigned to other officers who need a residence. The new home is located in the innermost part of the family area and is built according to the mountain. The walls around the two-meter-5 meters high are all made of large stone strips. The gate is simple and solid. The main building on the second floor under a large camphor tree is connected to the hollowed-out mountain belly behind. The upper and lower floors are carved out from the mountain belly. The conference room, study room, guest room, gym room, entertainment room and storage room are neatly arranged. Since all rooms have exhaust holes connected to the outside, the conference room, study room and guest room even have windows directly on the cliff, so you won’t feel bored when you rest or read.

Two pavilions and curved corridors were built on the left and right of the main building according to the natural undulating shape of the mountain, accompanied by peach and plum trees and green bamboos, as well as two small green ponds with lotus planted. The entire courtyard was integrated, as wonderful as natural.

April is the time when the azaleas are blooming brightly. The rhododendrons blooming all over the mountains and fields in western Zhejiang and eastern Jiangxi. The red ones are about to ignite, the white ones are like jade, and the pink ones are like clouds. The flowers and colors are intertwined and colorful, extremely gorgeous.

However, because the leaves of azalea have certain toxicity, the nectar of azalea is also poisonous, and I am worried that my children will accidentally eat it, the azaleas in Maoliangwu and surrounding mountains have been completely removed, and replaced by fruit trees such as peach trees, pear trees, plum trees, orange trees, etc. Although there are no azaleas, the mountain flowers are still full of beauty.

Wu Ming turned over and got off the horse's horse's horse's horse on the right side of the gate of the officers' community, handed the reins to the groom who was coming up, and patted the ugly horse's head intimately, and then walked into the community. Before he could walk into the gate of his own vines, he smelled the fragrance of flowers coming to his face. Seeing the pink and delicate flowers sticking out of the wall, Wu Ming smiled and remembered the roses he planted with his own hands last year.

With the solemn salute of the guards in front of the door, Wu Ming walked into the yard. In the small garden in front of the main building, Wu Ming saw his eldest son Wang Zemin, who was writing on the stone table, and he moved and quietly walked behind his son. He couldn't help but feel guilty.

Due to busy official business, Wu Ming lacks time to accompany his wife and children, and his children's study can only be supervised by his wife, so the font style obviously has a feminine flavor. Wu Ming also wants to enjoy the joy of family with his family, but unfortunately he is not allowed to relax in all aspects.

Wang Zemin is writing about the ancient military journey of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Xin, "Climbing the mountain in the sun and looking at the beacon fire, drinking horses beside the Jiaohe River at dusk... Every year, fighting bones are buried outside the desert, and grapes are seen entering the Han family in the sky." Watching his son quietly finish writing, Wu Ming felt deeply touched. This poem uses the Han Dynasty to describe the Tang Dynasty, and uses Emperor Wu of Han to open the border, satirizes the opening border of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang at that time. How similar is this to China where the current devastated war is everywhere?

After Wu Ming saw that his son finished writing, he couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Zemin turned around in shock and found that it was Wu Ming, and shouted in surprise: "Dad"
