"Luo Waizui, what does your grandson mean?"

Wu Ming's bright eyes narrowed into a slit, his expression was quite unhappy, his eyes were locked in Luo Yuming, and he snorted coldly: "What's the terrible thing about the Japanese ambush? He has a plan for Zhang Liang. I have a wall ladder. At worst, I can't break the net to death. What's the fear? I understand, is your grandson dead? If you are afraid of death, you can leave the army and leave first. I will never stop you."

Luo Yuming blushed, his eyes widened, and his head raised, and said loudly: "Master, when you were the battalion commander, I followed you... You know me, when did I, Luo Yuming, have you been afraid?"

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that Luo Yuming was not a greedy person who was afraid of death. After slowing down his tone, Wu Ming said earnestly: "What do you mean? Do you want us to be like frightened birds, leaving everything behind and escaping alone? Are we still soldiers who defend our country? How to face the elders and fellow villagers in Zhejiang in the future?"

"No"

Luo Yuming shook his head vigorously, his eyes filled with tears, and said sincerely: "Secretary, the situation is extremely critical now. The Japanese army is attacking from multiple places. Hangzhou City is almost dead. You will be in danger if you stay."

After hearing Luo Yuming's words, Wu Ming smiled and said nothing, lowered his head, looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Luo Yuming was a little anxious and continued to persuade: "Master, you are our backbone. Everyone can die in the battlefield. Only you can gather talents to you and rebuild a trumpet team with great military achievements. Before Chief Zhang left, we discussed that once the current situation is dangerous, we must send you away first."

"I left, what should I do if the soldiers who stayed there... In Changshan Camp, at the Phoenix Mountain Base, on every training ground, do you not abandon or give up this sentence in your heart, do you want me to violate it? The soldiers fought bloody battles ahead..." Wu Ming was a little excited, almost venting with a roar: "As their backbone, I ran away. Don't you think this is the biggest betrayal of them? If the soldiers knew that their division commanders could still settle down to fight before the battle, can the combat effectiveness of the troops be guaranteed?"

"Master, don't worry, anybody from the New Second Division will never say such things, especially in the minds of our First Brigade soldiers, the safety of the Master is more important than anything else."

A blurred eyes, tears burst out from my eyes without realizing it. Luo Yuming didn't care about wiping it up and said sincerely to Wu Ming: "Master, now I take the initiative to ask for promotion from the new second division. I will be the commander of the new second division. I will stay with a group and escort the provincial government to travel west."

Wu Ming was stunned, and after a little thought, his eyes turned red.

The Japanese army is about to encircle, and the situation of the new second division is very bad. Luo Yuming took the initiative to pass the name of the new second division commander, just to replace Wu Ming to die calmly, so that Wu Ming could lead the main force of the division to escape from the Japanese encirclement. He could die calmly for the commander without any regrets. His iron-heartedness and character showed Wu Ming's touch

But no matter how moved it is, how could Wu Ming, as the head coach, leave many brothers behind and escape alone? If this is true, how would Wu Ming face the family of his brothers who died in battle and how would he face the heroic spirits of the sacrificed soldiers in the future?

Thinking of this, Wu Ming shook his head vigorously and said passionately: "I can't leave. I think I am your elder brother. Don't say such things again in the future."

Luo Yuming knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, tilted his head, and teardrops as big as beans poured out one after another, begging hard with heart-wrenching wails:

"Master, I beg you... It's not easy for our new Second Division to reach today. It's about to expand into an army. It's a pity that they are all here. Mao Liangwu has finally developed to this day and has become the leading military base in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Once something happens, he will be a wedding dress master for others. The hopes of all the soldiers are placed on you, you'd better leave..."

At the end, Luo Yuming burst into tears.

"Okay, stop talking. I will not leave my brothers and leave when you get up, never." Wu Ming refused flatly.

"Master's seat--"

Seeing that Wu Ming's attitude was extremely firm, Luo Yuming knelt on the ground and did not get up. He was extremely angry and couldn't help but look at Chengyuan on the side.

In front of the tears of this tough guy, Cheng Yuan was extremely moved. He immediately came to Wu Ming and whispered: "Master, Brigade Commander Luo is also out of good intentions. The brothers are very concerned about your safety. If you don't leave, brothers will not feel at ease even if they go to the battlefield."

"Shut up"

Wu Ming turned around, shouted sternly, and wanted to say a few words. A chaotic sound came from outside the division headquarters.

"What kind of silence is it? That grandson is outside?" Wu Ming asked loudly.

Guard battalion commander Lu Kuiyuan rushed in, followed by a group of fully armed spy company officers and soldiers. When they saw Wu Ming, a complex look flashed in their eyes.

Lu Kuiyuan didn't care about saluting, and stepped forward and grabbed Wu Ming's hand, and said anxiously: "Master, you should hurry up. It's too late if you don't leave."

Wu Ming pushed Lu Kuiyuan away with a furious face: "Tell me, where is your current position? How is your unit's harassment of the Japanese army's southward and westward corps? Have you buried the mines? Have you ever figured out how to make the Japanese army less marching... Say, what did you put down your work and come to the division headquarters?"

Lu Kuiyuan straightened his back and said solemnly: "The situation is extremely critical. More than 100,000 Japanese troops have laid out numerous scoundrels. As your guard battalion commander, I have the right to send you out of the encirclement when necessary."

"Who gives the power to fart?"

Wu Ming was even more angry and scolded Lu Kuiyuan with a cold face: "I will not leave first even if I die, unless you shoot me to death now." Wu Ming took a step forward and shouted at Lu Kuiyuan: "Lu Kuiyuan, now I order you to take your soldiers back to your job immediately."

After hearing Wu Ming's words so seriously, Lu Kuiyuan lowered his head in a little frustrated.

The Japanese army had the second, seventh and eighteenth divisions on the north bank of Qiantang River. At the same time, the Fourth Division had already landed ashore with a brigade and a corps. The strength of the Japanese army on the front line of Zhuantang was significantly enhanced. More than 100,000 troops from the opponent gathered in Hangzhou to encircle and block the new second division. The journey to the west was full of ups and downs.

Zhang Ying called the brigades and officers of the 2nd Division and the 3rd Division for various dangers. Everyone communicated with Chief of Staff Zhang Dongning. Finally, he decided that Lu Kuiyuan would lead the spy company to escort Wu Ming away first. Lu Kuiyuan, who received the mission, did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately brought the spy company as a reserve team into the city.

If it were normal, Lu Kuiyuan would have obeyed Wu Ming's orders unconditionally. However, now it is not only related to Wu Ming's life safety, but also to the future of the New Second Division and Mao Liangwu, which will be expanded into an army. Lu Kuiyuan hesitated and looked around with helplessness. Finally, facing the angry Wu Ming, he stood there as if he was a pillar.

"Master, just follow everyone's opinions." Lei Peng, the second company commander of the spy, had to persuade him.

How can the commander's will be shaken easily?

Wu Ming was angry and anxious, and asked loudly: "We can make the Japanese cry and howl in the battlefields of Songhu and eastern Zhejiang. It is not because I, Wu Ming, are so capable, but because our entire division has ordered the ban. Every officer and soldier understands the principle of military orders. But see, how do you treat my orders now?"

After saying this, Luo Yuming and others blushed and their hearts were beating, and they couldn't help but lower their heads.

Seeing the performance of Luo Yuming and others, Wu Ming sighed long and continued: "The most important thing for an army is the soul that never admits defeat. It took us five years to establish this soul. If I follow your advice today and leave, even if I can rebuild the new Second Division in the future, the lost military soul will never be found. A unit that has lost its military soul cannot win a battle."

"Besides, you guys don't use your brain to think about it carefully. Have we really reached the end of the road? Is the Japanese encirclement really impeccable? Do we have no hope of escaping? I don't think so."

Luo Yuming and others were also dizzy before. Now, after hearing what Wu Ming said, he calmed down and looked at each other, and was immediately full of hope.

Lu Kuiyuan looked at Wu Ming with anticipation and asked hurriedly: "Master, what are you good ideas?"

Everyone looked at Wu Ming nervously. Wu Ming has always been not very involved in the daily affairs of the New Second Division, and has left all the things to a dedicated person to take charge of. However, whenever the New Second Division encounters difficulties, Wu Ming will be like a magic needle in a few words. Everyone can take a calming pill, and now it is the same.

Seeing the panic and fearful complexion on everyone's faces disappear, and the light of hope flashed in their eyes, Wu Ming was both angry and funny, and greeted: "Everyone come and see the map."

As the whole house surrounded the school and the table, Wu Ming pointed to the vast area in Yuhang and northern Lin'an and analyzed: "The biggest threat to us now is the Second Division led by Okamura Nishi. They traveled south from the southwest of Deqing County, struggling mountains and rivers, preparing to intercept our retreat."

"From the topography, the road ahead of the Second Division is rugged. From north to south, in addition to the mountains in the south of Deqing County, there are five or six rivers including Beitiaoxi and Zhongtiaoxi. In the south of Changle Town, there are also mountains and forests such as Hualingwu, which are extremely inconvenient to travel. But what we are going to walk is the official road next to Xixi and Nantiaoxi. The advantages and disadvantages of both sides are clearly visible."

"No matter how you look at it, the chances of the Japanese army blocking us are not high. The only thing we need to worry about is how to avoid being caught up by the Japanese army."

Luo Yuming calmed down and thought for a while and asked: "The Second Japanese Division is an elite main division, and it must be very fast. On the other hand, it would be fine if we just marched, and there would be no problem to arrive in Lin'an within a day, but we need to escort provincial government officials, money, grain, taxes and other materials. In addition, the official roads next to Xixi and Nantiaoxi are crowded with fugitives traveling west, and they will block them, so we don't have much time left."

"Yes, Lao Luo's concerns still make sense."

Wu Ming pointed to Zhongtiao River, more than 20 miles north of Yuhang to Lin'an Highway, and analyzed: "Look at it, the Second Division crossed mountains and ridges and then rushed in dense water network areas. Cannons, tanks and other heavy firepower equipment were not allowed to accompany them. It is the middle of winter, Zhongtiao River is located in a hilly area, with cold and bone-blooded river water, and the river drop is wide and the water flows fast. We just need to set up a blocking position on the Hualingwu line on the south bank of Zhongtiao River. As long as we prepare enough, we can at least resist the Japanese army for three to four days."

Zhang Ying, who had been silent before, suddenly realized and murmured: "Oh, I finally know why the Chief of Staff got off the train early when he arrived in Hangzhou, led the first battalion of the division's engineering regiment, the infantry company of the baggage regiment, the infantry company of the artillery regiment, and the newly formed infantry artillery battalion, rushed to Lin'an. It turned out that he was rushing to Hualingwu and setting up a blocking position on the highlands of the south bank of Zhongtiao River."

"Yes, I've been using this move to defend the Japanese army before, but I didn't expect it to come true." Wu Ming smiled slightly and said to the generals and schoolmasters: "Since we are not even afraid of the Japanese's killer moves, what are you worried about?"
