There were blockages in front and chasing troops in the rear, and the 97th Army and the 38th Division, and the 39th Division were facing the situation of imminent food shortage, and all the radio waves were intercepted and cut off by the Japanese, and the Military Committee could not be contacted. Huang Chenglin, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was anxious for two days and two nights, but he couldn't think of any good way, his hair was half white, and he fell ill all of a sudden.

Zeng Yuanjun, Chen Sixian and others personally brought the team around every day to reconnoiter the battle situation.

Separated by a few mountains, I saw that smoke was billowing every day far ahead, and the situation was not optimistic.

On the third day, Huang Chenglin convened a meeting with everyone, he was tired and anxious and said, "The current situation is very unfavorable to our army, I have brought everyone into such a quagmire situation, I am not worthy of being everyone's commander, and I announce that Zeng Yuanjun will act as the commander, and lead everyone to fight to the death with the Japanese, if you have a chance to live, you must fight to the end, if you don't have a chance to live, we will be a good man in 20 years." When Huang Chenglin said these words, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart choked with sadness.

He, Huang Chenglin, has been a commander for decades, and now he is about to face the annihilation of the whole army, which is caused by his own conceit.

If he had listened to Zeng Yuanjun's persuasion earlier and set up posts all the way, then he would have gotten the news from the rear in time, and he would not have finally caused today's situation.

Now it's really desperate.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad, don't despair!" Huang Xiaohua shook Huang Chenglin and cried loudly.

She had never seen her father so helpless and desperate.

"Commander, you are our backbone, you can't lose faith, you won't fall." All the officers and soldiers pleaded with Huang Chenglin together.

The commander of the 38th Division and the commander of the 39th Division were also helpless, and the two of them also hoped that Huang Chenglin could reinvigorate the morale of the army and lead everyone to break through together.

The two of them glanced at each other, then fell silent.

The commander-in-chief of the 97th Army is Huang Chenglin, and he wants to make a military post adjustment, and the two of them can't say anything.

Huang Chenglin glanced at all the people and said, "Don't persuade me anymore, Chief of Staff Zeng is brave and strategic, and he is fully capable of serving as everyone's commander-in-chief, and he will be your commander-in-chief from now on." After Huang Chenglin finished speaking, he looked at all the officers and soldiers majestically and said, "Haven't you seen the commander-in-chief one by one?" Time is limited, and we won't know if we'll be able to talk until tomorrow. ”

Huang Chenglin knew that it was impossible for the Japanese army to be quiet for two consecutive days, they would definitely carry out a new round of bombardment, and the more quiet the other side was, the more likely it was that they were carrying out a greater conspiracy. At the last moment, he wanted to give up his position to Zeng Yuanjun and let him lead the soldiers to fight bloodily. Because he felt that he was no longer worthy of the title of commander to lead these soldiers who had followed him for more than ten years.

Everyone looked at Zeng Yuanjun, and then at Huang Chenglin, but they didn't speak.

Liu Yingzhe stood up and said, "Commander, although we are in a desperate situation now, you have always been our commander, and we are willing to follow you to carry out the battle to the end, we are not afraid of death." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We are not afraid of death, we will follow the commander to carry the battle to the end. ”

A number of officers and soldiers shouted emotionally.

Zeng Yuanjun stood up, smiled at everyone and said, "Brothers, if you accept me as Commander Zeng and lead everyone to fight together, I have a way to let everyone leave Mule Mountain alive." As soon as Zeng Yuanjun spoke, everyone was stunned.

Zeng Yuanjun wants to be a commander and wants to go crazy, the front is the Japanese tank concentrated artillery base, even mosquitoes can't fly over, and the back is also the reinforcements of the Japanese army just in place, if you want to retreat quietly from both sides, the withdrawal of tens of thousands of troops, the movement is not small, and the Japanese will also know. Now in this place, there is also a secret order, trench cover, and it can also resist the attack of the Japanese army. If you leave here, you will completely show the whole army naked in the eyes of the Japanese, which is equivalent to a moth to a fire.

Chen Sixian stood up and said, "Zeng Yuanjun, if you are a commander or not, you can also tell us your method, do you have to be a commander to say it?" ”

Chen Sixian said a word, and everyone looked at Zeng Yuanjun with suspicious eyes.

Ill-intentioned.

Zeng Yuanjun ignored everyone's suspicious eyes, he still smiled and said, "You must make me the commander before I can implement the strategy, otherwise I am worried that everyone will not listen to me." ”

Liu Yingzhe said unhappily, "Chief of Staff Zeng, when you say this, it seems that your strategy is foolproof, and you are worried that we will not listen to you." I see that you clearly want the position of the commander, and after thinking about it for a long time, now the fox's tail is exposed. ”

The commander of the 38th Division and the commander of the 39th Division shouted to stop everyone's discussions, and the commander of the 39th Division said loudly, "Whoever has the ability on the battlefield is the supreme leader, and now the chief of staff has said that as long as he can be the commander-in-chief of everyone, he will have a way to lead everyone to leave Mule Mountain safely, do you still have a choice?" Judging by the sound of artillery and smoke in front of us, it is estimated that the main forces of the Japanese army have arrived in large numbers and are engaged in battle with various regiments of our army, and they are probably too busy to take care of themselves, so we should not expect any reserve troops to save us. ”

As soon as the words of the commander of the 39th Division fell, the commander of the 39th Division continued: "Our current situation is to maintain our strength first, you see that we have so many wounded soldiers, plus there is not much food left, what do we use to confront the Japanese army?" Huang Si has been suffering day and night these days, so his physical condition is very poor, I think Commander Huang's decision is correct, Chief of Staff Zeng is young and promising, and there is every hope that he will lead everyone to evacuate safely. Otherwise, starting tomorrow, even if the Japanese army does not come to attack us, we will be so hungry that our hands and feet will be weak, and then we will be captured by the Japanese army. ”

The words of the commander of the 38th Division and the commander of the 39th Division made everyone sober up.

According to the cunning and ferocity of the Japanese, it is impossible for them to do nothing so quietly and let them sleep comfortably in the mountains, either they want to trap them here and let them be taken prisoner, or they want to launch a bigger conspiracy.

In addition to the fact that there were so many wounded soldiers, some of them had begun to suppurate and run water due to the lack of medicine.

Either fight to the death with the Japanese, or let Zeng Yuanjun be the commander-in-chief and see what he can do to evacuate everyone safely.
