Chapter 340: Exchange (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"What? Want to see me by name? ”

Wang Jun, the commander of the Third Army, who had just changed into a clean military uniform, was stunned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Shilong, who came to report it, nodded heavily: "The person who came claimed to be the chief of the intelligence section of the Red Army's former enemy headquarters, named Zhang Yunrui, brought a letter written by Zheng Yi to the military seat, but he insisted on handing it over to the military seat. ”

"Chief of Intelligence?"

Wang Jun pondered for a moment, and immediately put down the teacup in his hand: "What you said has aroused my interest, let's go, I want to see what kind of character it is." ”

Wang Jun and Li Shilong walked out of the only brick courtyard on the west bank of Yangmei Ferry, walked quickly to the top of the heavily guarded wharf, and saw Zhang Yunrui surrounded by two captains of the 7th Division and four guards armed with machine guns.

Twenty-four-year-old Zhang Yunrui is a native of Nanchang, graduated from Jiangxi Provincial Normal University, not tall, not mighty in appearance, wearing a gray cloth military uniform on him, but showing a calm and elegant temperament, not so much a soldier, but more like a teacher.

The two lieutenants who were blocking in front of Zhang Yunrui saluted Wang Jun, Zeng Wanzhong, and Li Shilong, and consciously moved to the sides and stood straight.

Zhang Yunrui took two steps forward, saluted Wang Jun, the lieutenant general of the Third Army, who was half a head taller than him, and then solemnly took out Zheng Yi's handwritten letter and sent it with both hands: "I, Zhang Yunrui, this is a negotiation letter entrusted by Commander-in-Chief Zheng of the former enemy headquarters of our army. ”

"A letter of representation?"

Wang Jun saw Zhang Yunrui coldly and remained motionless.

Li Shilong stepped forward to take the letter, flipped it over the back and looked at it, and sent it to Wang Jun.

Wang Jun slowly retracted his sharp gaze, took out a letter in a cowhide envelope, read it carefully, and then asked Li Shilong on the side in a low voice, "How many Gongjun prisoners have you captured?" ”

"Twenty-seven, and the other fifty or so people are all corpses, and they are still in front of the blocking position on the east bank, and the brothers have no time to restrain themselves."

After Li Shilong finished speaking, he glanced at the letter in Wang Jun's hand and guessed that the Red Army was likely to exchange prisoners with his own troops.

Wang Jun nodded, looked at the blazing sun that was gradually moving westward, thought about it slightly, and said politely to Zhang Yunrui: "Section Chief Zhang, please thank General Zheng Yi for treating my brothers well on my behalf, I agree with his opinion, I will arrive at the front of the formation in an hour and meet him." ”

"I won't write a reply, you can go back!"

Zhang Yunrui saluted again, followed the two lieutenants and four guards to the dock, boarded the traffic boat to cross the east bank, and then quietly exhaled a turbid breath, feeling that Wang Jun's reaction and reply just now were exactly the same as the division commander Zheng Yi's explanation before leaving, and he admired Zheng Yi's accurate judgment in his heart.

……

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, four kilometers west of Ganxian County.

The 7th Division of the Yunnan Army suffered extremely heavy losses in the early morning and noon battles, but at this moment more than 3,000 officers and men still held on to two trenches four kilometers away from Ganxian County.

As many as 30 light and heavy machine guns were erected above the trenches, and the muzzles of the guns were all pointed at the county seat of Ganxian County to the east.

More than a dozen red battle flags were planted between the two trenches, and all the officers and men had dirty hands and sweaty faces.

Under the sunset, the city of Ganxian after the war was very quiet, and the red battle flag flying high above the city was particularly conspicuous under the golden sunlight.

A long trumpet sounded faintly in the southeast wind.

A large red cross flag with a white background slowly appeared in the field of vision of thousands of Yunnan officers and soldiers, and the banner was followed by a long procession of carriages, and the officers of the Yunnan army on the position immediately raised their binoculars and observed carefully, and found that the carriages were full of lightly wounded and sick people with their heads bandaged with gauze or hanging their arms.

The Red officers and soldiers walking on both sides of the convoy were not armed.

Immediately afterwards, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, and two Red Army commanders in straight uniforms, holding the Red Cross flag, galloped quickly from east to west, and arrived in front of the Dian army position a few minutes later.

The young officer on the horse slowed down slowly, and saluted Li Shilong, the commander of the Seventh Division, who was riding his horse to meet him: "Our army is sending the corpses of your officers and soldiers and 567 prisoners, please prepare for your army's reception, and send the remains of our army's sacrificed soldiers and captured soldiers to the front of the battle as soon as possible, over!" ”

Li Shilong originally wanted to shout a few words to lift his spirit, but seeing that the other party was neither humble nor arrogant, and there were far more brothers captured and killed in battle on his own side than the other party, he had to keep a stiff face and raise his hand to salute back: "Please rest assured, the soldiers of our Yunnan army have always kept their promises!" I wonder if General Zheng Yi came to meet as promised? ”

"Our Commander-in-Chief Zheng will be here soon, please wait a moment for your army Commander Wang!" The two officers of the Red Army did not hesitate, saluted again, turned their horses' heads, and quickly left.

Wang Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan army at the rear of the position, ignored the dissuasion of the chief of staff Zeng Wanzhong and others, crossed the two trenches on horseback, came to the front of the position, and waved his hand to Li Shilong, who looked uneasy: "Zheng Yi wants to see me, don't be too nervous, let the guards retreat, you can go up with me." ”

"Zheng Yi is insidious and cunning, I have to guard against it!" Li Shilong said worriedly.

Wang Jun shook his horsewhip: "On the battlefield, anyone can do whatever it takes to win, but now is the armistice, the two armies exchange prisoners and collect the remains of the dead soldiers, who dares not to use tricks, otherwise it will inevitably be discredited, as pointed out by Wanfu!" ”

"As far as I know, Zheng Yi is still very trustworthy, and we can't let him look down on him."

Li Shilong had no choice but to order the more than ten guards behind him to retreat to the rear of the position, bite the bullet, follow Wang Jun and walk on horseback, and cheer up to meet Zheng Yi, who was slowly coming hundreds of meters away.

Zheng Yi only brought the commissioner Han Shouren, both of them rode jujube red war horses, stopped at a distance of more than ten meters from Wang Jun and the two, and looked at Wang Jun carefully for a while before Zheng Yi raised his hand and solemnly saluted: "I, Zheng Yi, have two generals." ”

Wang Jun stared at Zheng Yi's cold face, and there was a sense of trance in an instant, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to return the salute and nodded slightly.

Zheng Yi saw that Wang Jun did not respond for a long time, glanced at Han Shouren, turned to Wang Jun again, and said politely:

"Commander Wang, to tell you the truth, we really don't want to fight with your army...... The enemy of our Communist Party is Chiang Kai-shek, the European and American powers who have barbarously invaded our territory, enslaved and plundered our people, and the invaders! ”

"In order to show sincerity, after exchanging dead and wounded soldiers on both sides, our army will withdraw from Ganxian County and retreat to the line of Sanjiangkou."

"The bodies of the captured officers and soldiers and the dead are being delivered, and all the wounded have been properly treated by our army, but due to the limited conditions and the shortage of medicines, we can only provide emergency treatment to the wounded and sick of your army, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Wang Jun was greatly shocked when he heard this, looked at Li Shilong, and only after a while did he politely thank: "On behalf of my brothers, I thank your army for your preferential treatment!" ”

"It's just...... I wonder if General Zheng will call again after leading his troops to evacuate Gan County? ”

Zheng Yi replied sincerely: "As long as your army does not take the initiative to attack our army, our army will not fight again......"

"However, there is something here that must be told to the two in advance: at this moment, the officers and men of the two regiments of our army are attacking Wan'an County, and whether they can be defeated or not, they will withdraw to Xingguo tomorrow morning."
