The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang go without paying attention. The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.

This is a small city at the southern foot of Hengshan, because the south of the mountain and the north of the water are "yang", so it is named "Hengyang".

It is also said that "the northern goose."

Fly south, so far the wings stop back", it also has the elegant name of "Yancheng", attracting countless literati and celebrities to compete to stay in ink.

This place has always been a battleground for soldiers.

As early as the beginning of the Hunan Battle, the Military Commission had intended to let him command the operations in the Fourth and Ninth Theaters, but he did not expect that the official order had not yet been issued, and the battle had already collapsed to this point, which was unexpected.

Now, he is standing here, not seeing Hengyang geese, but only seeing strong soldiers and horses everywhere, and war clouds are thick.

"The meaning of the central government is to first hold on to Hengyang, attract the main force of the Japanese army around Hengyang, and then counterattack from the periphery - so the Military Commission ordered that Hengyang should be held for two weeks, and the longer the holding period, the better, and consume the enemy as much as possible. ”

Bo Yuzheng looked at the commander Fang and the rest of the division commanders who stayed in Hengyang in front of him and said.

Several people changed their expressions slightly, and the commander of the army was silent for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The military order is like a mountain, we should obey it, but the current situation, please also ask Junzuo to understand - the terrain of Hengyang is not dangerous to defend, and there are not even fortifications in the city, the situation is small and the Japanese are menacing, and our army often fights in Germany, with heavy casualties, and the equipment and soldiers have not been completed so far, and the two-week period is really difficult, if it is really a last resort, is it possible......

As a military commander, he knew that the military order was like a mountain and the army's heart could not be shaken, but there were no ordinary soldiers here at the moment, all of them were senior generals above the division level, and they also knew the situation well, and they could not say anything.

Therefore, while taking on this almost impossible task, he also chose to be open and honest, hoping that the upper hand would be considerate, and also leave some seeds for the Tenth Army in case of emergency.

However, Bo Yuzheng slowly shook his head, his face was calm and resolute, and although his voice was light, he said word by word, and he did not allow anyone to turn around, "There is no time for soldiers to have to do it."

Commander Fang's face was solemn, and after a long time, he turned to Bo Yuzheng and said: "How long can Hengyang hold on, I don't dare to be strong in front of Junzuo, but I guarantee that the Tenth Army will fight to the last moment at any sacrifice." ”

After the commander finished speaking, he did not waste time, and immediately led Bo Yuzheng to the battle map, reported the defense deployment and battle plan one by one, and personally accompanied him to the outskirts of the city to inspect the fortifications.

“…… In front of the saddle between the two heights, a fire net was also built by machine guns......

Bo Yuzheng inspected the field and listened to his explanation, occasionally saying a few sentences.

“…… The idea of this cliff fortification is very good, and there can be a grenade throwing trench on top of the cliff...... Light and heavy machine guns should all be fired on the side, and no holes should be left for 'firing' or 'firing' straight ahead, and attention should also be ......paid to concealing the 'firing' holes for side shots."

The commander of the army followed him, let people go with him to record, at first, the meaning of posing and walking in the form was even worse, but gradually, the look in his eyes began to become serious, and little by little he was convinced.

When he returned, there was a sudden 'commotion' and 'chaos' in front for some reason, and soon someone came to report that some soldiers were dissatisfied with the new two-week mission.

Bo Yuzheng frowned slightly, and went straight in the direction of Wang Wang's 'commotion' and 'chaos'.

The commander hurriedly followed, and inevitably spoke for his subordinates on the side, "Junzuo, according to my observation in the past few days, all the officers and soldiers are high in morale, and they are all working hard to build fortifications to prepare for war, maybe the task was a little sudden, and they were 'complaining' for a while......

Before he finished his words, a reckless and impulsive voice suddenly sounded in the crowd in front of him—

"It's a nice thing to say, it will only let us defend to the death, but we don't send troops to supplement, no one has the ability to defend it, and fighting to the death is not sending us to death!"

For a moment, all the soldiers seemed to be touched by these words, and the echo gradually became noisy.

The commander of the army also changed his face, turned his eyes to look at Bo Yuzheng, and saw him raise his hand and draw his gun.

He was startled, but he didn't have time to stop it, his movements were coherent and fast, like an elegant clouded leopard.

Shots rang out, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.

Commander Fang breathed a sigh of relief, that shot, Bo Yuzheng was fired at the sky.

But before he could relax for a moment, he saw Bo Yuzheng walking straight towards the soldier who had just spoken, still holding the Browning in his hand.

Commander Fang knew that person was a platoon commander under him, his 'temperament' was hot, but he was a good fighter, he was secretly anxious in his heart, but he couldn't 'understand' Bo Yuzheng's intentions for a while, so he had to press the troops first.

"If you don't die on the battlefield, you will die by a warlord, there are two ways to die, I have you to choose. Although Bo Yuzheng's voice was light, and his eyes were not cold, he walked over like that, and the domineering momentum on his body that was not angry but powerful made everyone stunned for a while, unable to speak.

Commander Fang became more and more anxious, in his heart, he was unwilling to lose this soldier who could fight a tough battle, but disturbing the morale of the army in battle could also be punished with death, especially in the current situation.

He hesitated for a while, but still spoke: Junzuo, I know that this person is a tough guy, and he will never be a greedy person who is afraid of death, and please don't care about his open-mouthed......"

But the platoon commander is a hot-tempered old man, and he has crawled out of the pile of dead people countless times, and he has long been not afraid of heaven and earth.

I was stunned by Bo Yuzheng's momentum before, and I was stunned for a while, but at this time, I heard my army commander pleading with some bullshit officer sent by the central government, how could he still bear it, his neck was stiff, and he roared-

"Commander, you don't need to help me intercede, there are two ways to die, I will choose with him, and I will choose whichever he chooses!"

"Zhang Deshan!" Commander Fang was angry, and turned his head to look at Bo Yuzheng, "Junzuo ......"

He didn't continue, because he saw that Bo Yuzheng was not as angry as he imagined because of Zhang Deshan's disrespect, but smiled slightly.

His eyes were gentle and expectant, even Zhang Deshan himself was stunned, and he could only listen to his voice in a daze, steady and calm, but there was a momentum hidden in it-

"Then, you will fight this battle with me, and don't let a devil in. ”

After Bo Yuzheng finished speaking, he slowly looked at the young but weather-beaten faces in front of him, paused, and opened his mouth again-

"Ladies and gentlemen, when he was in Taierzhuang, Commander Sun of the Second Group Army once said to one of his division commanders, "When the soldiers are finished, you fill it in yourself, and if you fill it in, I will fill it in." Whoever dares to retreat across the river will be killed. "I can say the same to you today.

Everyone present, including Commander Fang, was silent for a while, and could only listen to his voice continue to come with the wind-

"I have informed Minister Yu of the Logistics Department that all supplies will be processed as soon as possible. In addition, all those that our army needs and have stocks in the neighboring military stations will be sent to Hengyang as much as they can. Now, I am here with you, and I will shoot anyone who dares to speak or take half a step back. If I retreat first, any of you can shoot me.

Everyone's faces gradually became solemn and 'agitated', and they couldn't help but look at the 'upright' general in front of them, looking at his eyes with resolute eyes, still word by word, and calmly spoke-

"The important 'sex' of the first battle of Hengyang must have been said too much by your commander, here, I won't say more, I just hope you remember that as a soldier, fighting for the national strength, horse leather shroud, is a responsibility, but also a life. I hope that you will not be afraid of death, not greedy for death, with the determination to die, the belief in victory, even if you fight to the point of a soldier, a shot and a bullet, you will also fight with the little devil to the end, hold Hengyang!"

"Defend Hengyang! Hold Hengyang......"

In the heartfelt shouts of a group of soldiers, he left with Commander Fang, although he was speechless all the way, but Commander Fang's eyes unconsciously brought a look of admiration and solemnity.

Bo Yuzheng wanted to see the situation in the city again, so the two of them, along with the guards, did not take a car, and walked all the way back to the military headquarters.

Just as they were about to arrive at the military headquarters, they suddenly saw a soldier running over out of breath, apparently reporting all the way to the situation.

"What's the matter?"

The soldier stood up and saluted, but his voice was still panting slightly because he was in a hurry: "Report, report, Madame is here!"
