Huang Shao's telegram was sent to the Yuhang New Second Division headquarters, which aroused anger among the entire division generals and generals who were holding a meeting here.

The telegram is full of articles. After reading the Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning for a long time, everyone realized that in fact, so much nonsense is just one meaning, let Wu Ming and the New Second Division not meddling in other people's business.

The combat section chief Zhang Ying looked angry: "What a group of ignorant officials who don't know how to live or die. They treat our kindness as donkeys. When the Japanese army is really at the city, don't cry, daddy and grandma, begging us for help."

When the Third Division and the Japanese army fought fiercely in Wuxingcheng and surrounding areas, Zhang Ying led the staff to continuously deduce the situation and came to an astonishing conclusion:

Okamura Yasuji is a person who does not follow the norm. After the door of the Shizusuke line opened, in order to solve the threat from the flanks, it was specifically the threat from the New Second Division, which avenged the 114th Division and the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, and was very likely to lead troops south to attack Hangzhou.

At this time, the Japanese army's north and south sides successfully met on the front line of Wuxing and Wuxi. The strong army even Wu Ming felt that he could not compete with him. Once he turned to Hangzhou, the new second division would definitely avoid the edge.

Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province. It is not only the provincial government, but also a transportation hub, economic and cultural center that communicates with the province's east, west, south and north. If Hangzhou is lost, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster.

Han Tiecheng's face turned red and his neck was thick. He stood up and said angrily: "My mother, the situation is so bad, some people still have fantasies and are still drunk and dreaming. It is estimated that they will wake up until they are captured by the Japanese army."

The second regiment commander Fan Daoquan suggested in anger: "Second, the main force of my right wing army has moved to Si'an and Guangde front lines. Our new second division is now at the outskirts of the battlefield. The surrounding area of ​​Yuhang is flat and very unfavorable for defense. Once the Japanese army comes, we will be very dangerous."

"Yu Qiang, let's withdraw, ignore the military and political officials in Hangzhou. It's better to let them catch the Japanese and explain to the world what it means to bite Lu Dongbin and not know the good people's hearts."

"Stand, why don't our new Second Division go to Hangzhou to join in the fun. Okamura Neji is a very powerful guy. If we go by ourselves, we can't catch us even if the Japanese army has more than twice as many troops." Zhang Dongning also thought about it and advised: "Hangzhou is now a big quagmire, and it may be trapped in any time. If we go there, we will take the initiative to get involved in all the things that will not be dealt with in less than three or five days. If Okamura Neji insists on going south, we may be dragged down and we will not be able to leave even if we want to."

Zhang Dongning's words hit Wu Ming's heart.

Judging from the battle of Wuxing, Okamura Yanji is a cunning opponent who does not fight unprepared battles. He is good at digging traps for his opponents. If he is not careful, he may fall into his entire set.

It is best as Zhang Dongning said that the New Second Division will not go to Hangzhou, but will take the train to Xiaoshan directly. As long as you retreat into the hilly areas of central Zhejiang, Okamura will have no choice but to take the New Second Division.

However, although the Xicheng line has been broken by the Japanese army, the transfer orders from the Military Commission and the theater command have not been issued for a long time, and now the retreat may be charged with the crime of escaping and being criticized by thousands of people.

Now that Hangzhou's city is singing and dancing, only a few visionary people heard the warning from Phoenix Radio, immediately moved their families to western and southern Zhejiang areas. Most of them went to Quzhou, but more Hangzhou citizens were still confused and stayed in the city and still lived.

Wu Ming stood up and looked around the school. Everyone shut up their mouths with tactfulness, stared at Wu Ming, waiting for him to give the final answer.

"The situation is indeed very critical. The old fox of Okamura Nishi must have been hiding beside him and secretly plotting. Once prepared, he will concentrate all his strength and rush towards Hangzhou without hesitation. At that time, no matter whether we want it or not, the superiors will transfer us to rescue Hangzhou. We are in an urgent critical moment of life and death."

Wu Ming's voice was very low, and he let out a sigh of relief and continued, "Retreat without fighting is a shame for the soldiers. I, Wu Ming, disdained it. Besides, the more than 100,000 people in Hangzhou are innocent. We must ensure their safety. Don't forget why our new Second Division fought."

"Our officers and soldiers are all ordinary people, and many of them are in Hangzhou. Have you ever thought about it? We have withdrew. Where are their families? You all know the atrocities of the Japanese army from Wuzhen to Xiahuacheng Town to Miaoxi. Do we want to leave our soldiers' families to the Japanese and let them suffer from rape and massacre by the Japanese army?"

"no"

Wu Ming's tone became more and more excited, and he clenched his fists and said, "We must not only consider the safety in front of us. We must face all challenges bravely. This is for ourselves, for our families, and for thousands of ordinary people."

Everyone's eyes turned red, but they remained silent.

Although it is not clear what Okamura Yanji's arrangement is, for every new second division general here, Hangzhou City has undoubtedly become an extremely dangerous place. Once the entire division retreats to Hangzhou, the consequences will be self-evident.

Wu Ming looked over his solemn faces and said solemnly: "I have decided that as long as we give the order to go up the peak, we will set off to Hangzhou. The next scene will be a sea of ​​corpses and blood. I will not force you to leave here. I will serve the ocean and part ways. What remains is my true good brother of Wu Ming... If you want to go to Hangzhou with me, please raise your hand."

Before Wu Ming finished speaking, everyone raised their hands together.

Zhang Dongning stretched his neck and looked around and found that no one escaped. He immediately said to Wu Ming: "Master, don't worry, everyone is good. Even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, we will accompany you."

"good"

Wu Ming nodded with relief: "It's worthy of being the soldiers brought by me, Wu Ming, and there is no coward." After pondering for a moment, Wu Ming said to Zhang Dongning:

"Chief of Staff, after the meeting, you immediately notify Mao Liangwu, and draw two to three regiments from the left-behind militia and rushed to Hangzhou. We need to make all kinds of preparations in advance. Tonight, you will lead the baggage regiment and the engineering regiment to go first. We must fully consider all kinds of dangers and not respond hastily when things are in the near future."

"Master, I'll send a report later."

Zhang Dongning smiled bitterly and clapped his hands and said, "However, at this critical moment, as the chief of staff of the New Second Division, I must follow the division headquarters to act together."

"no"

Wu Ming understood what Zhang Dongning meant, raised his face, shook his head decisively, and took Zhang Dongning's hand and said, "On the way to the west, without you fighting for us, the chance of our division's escape would be very slim. Besides, I must leave a spark for our new second division... Okay, don't fight with me, and take the engineering regiment and the baggage regiment to the road when it gets dark."

Zhang Dongning smiled bitterly. Wu Ming was talking about the truth. The New Second Division had many powerful generals who were good at fighting tough battles, but lacked the ability to coordinate, dispatch and handle various trivial matters. Zhang Dongning was the leader in this regard. Except for him, no one could prepare for the relocation of more than 100,000 people in Hangzhou.

Zhang Dongning picked up the telegram on the table: "Master, how do we reply to the provincial government's telegram?"

"If you don't touch the wall and don't look back, reality will make them understand." Wu Ming patted Zhang Dongning's shoulder and said softly: "I suspect us for no reason. If I don't do anything, I'm sorry for their telegram of reprimand."

After hearing Wu Ming's words, Zhang Dongning understood them and grinned.

Indeed, Wu Ming was originally just sending an alarm from a military perspective, but was misunderstood. If he didn't go back in the face, it wouldn't be Wu Ming's style. Since Huang Shao cares so much about the safety of Zhejiang's taxes, Wu Ming doesn't mind making a profit. Although the current pharmaceutical business is very large, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is still flesh. Just as the central government has not allocated enough bonuses, so he can use this money to reward the soldiers.
