Faced with Han Xing's strong words, Sun Lianzhong stopped talking, and it took a long time before he said, "Okay! I will no longer interfere with your combat intentions. But really, your strong support for us is obvious to all, and I really can't bear to let you go. I still hope you can stay a few more days. ”

After Han Xing and Sun Lianzhong finished negotiating, they immediately convened a meeting of the cadres of the Southern Expeditionary Army to discuss the next military action.

In an ordinary tent on the front line of Miyang, except for the Air Force, it can be said that the main cadres of the Southern Expeditionary Army gathered together. There wasn't even a table, some of them sat on Han Xing's marching bed, and some sat on the small horses one by one, all of them were overjoyed, and the joy of winning the battle was on their faces.

Han Xing didn't speak first, and they made trouble. This kind of slapstick can be regarded as a kind of happy release! Otherwise, the strings that are taut all the time will break.

Since the Air Force did not come, it was natural that he could not find the target of the "attack", but he was coming, and he was the one who made the greatest contribution to this battle besides the Air Force, and of course, he became the "target" of everyone.

Hou Dashan first fired at You Qianqian with a little jealousy: "I said Camp Commander You, you have to have a treat!" ”

"What kind of guests do I get?" You Qianqian has always been honest, Hou Dashan said that he wanted him to have a treat, he was confused, and he couldn't figure out the reason!

Hou Dashan nodded to him and said: "You crippled the devil's 7th chariot regiment, you have to get a special prize anyway!" Every tank in your tank battalion that participates in the battle, why don't you get a first prize, you have to get a second prize. Don't pretend to be confused, hit a rabbit and put it in your arms, do you want this? ”

You Qianqian still didn't understand and asked: "We have made efforts and made meritorious contributions, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

"How can it not matter?" Hou Dashan said, "If our mechanized regiment fights, then the credit belongs to our mechanized regiment, how can it be to make meritorious contributions to you." Actually, to put it bluntly, we gave you this credit. ”

"I haven't heard of it," You said, shaking his head, "you gave us this credit?" Supposedly, you should be in for a treat! Oh, we have made great efforts, made meritorious contributions, defeated the devils, and we have to treat us, where is the reason? ”

Wang Dawu was also unreasonable, and said to Hou Dashan: "No matter what you say, you have made meritorious contributions, and the medal is hanging on you, who will treat you if you don't invite you." We are still to blame, we were all ready, just waiting to fire, but the superiors didn't let us come forward, didn't let us make meritorious contributions, and let you get all the credit. Where are we going to reason? Of course, I have to eat you and drink you, which is called eating and drinking Sun and not thanking Sun. ”

Yin Zhaoli also said: "We are even more wronged, the guards and guards have nothing to do with us, and it is not our business to fight and fight, what are we doing, just to travel?" Who can stand this? Anyway, according to this rule, whoever has made meritorious service will have a treat, or you will not make meritorious service! ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaosan heard that it was a treat, he wanted to open it, no matter who invited him, he had to make a meal, and he also shouted loudly: "That's right, that's right, this time I finally caught you, it's you." Whoever treats me is indispensable, so I'll let go of my stomach and eat a big meal! ”

You looked forward and saw that Zhang Xiaosan also coaxed, and came towards Zhang Xiaosan again: "Okay, you Camp Commander Zhang, we have invited you several times, when will it be your turn." I think you're the one who belongs to the Iron Rooster - a hair. I can't ask anyone—"

A few people were messing around for a while, Fan Shuyu couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped them and said, "Hey-hey-have you made enough trouble, don't make trouble." I didn't ask you to come here to discuss who was going to treat you and who didn't want to do it. Commander Han still has something to do, so you can leave your energy to discuss it! Don't the tailor has no scissors - the light is left to eat. ”

Wang Qiankun, director of logistics, also said playfully: "You don't care who treats me, it's not to cause me trouble." ”

Han Xing said to everyone: "Then we will have a meeting!" As for praise, I won't say much, who contributes how much, who should be awarded, everyone's hearts are like a mirror. If there are no troops participating in the war, don't worry, the battle is fought by you. Now, let's ask Director Pan of the General Staff Department to talk about the situation on the battlefield! ”

Pan Xiaoan, chief of intelligence of the General Staff Department, of course, has a more thorough understanding of the situation on both sides of the battlefield. He stood up, looked at a military map, and said to everyone: "The Japanese 11th Army launched an attack on May 1 with the goal of capturing and annihilating the main force of the Fifth Theater from the east of the Tang River and the Baihe River to Zaoyang.

The 3rd Division on his right flank was the first to attack in the direction of Piyang, and now his troops were stopped in the vicinity of the town of Magutian in Miyang. On its left flank, the 13th Division also launched an attack from Zhongxiang, breaking through the front of the 33rd Army on the same day, and after breaking through, it advanced northward with all its might, aiming at Zaoyang. As for the 33rd Army, just behind the devils, desperately pursuing, hoping to catch up with the devils and defeat them.

According to reliable information, on May 4, that is, today, the Japanese 39th Division launched an offensive on the central front and was about to attack the front of the 11th Army. Well, that's all our intelligence knows. ”

Han Xing continued: "The purpose of Sonobe and Ichiro is to encircle the main force of the Fifth War Zone with the left and right armies, complete the encirclement and eliminate us. Although its right flank is now blocked by Sun Lianzhong, the 13th Division on the left flank is marching northward in a big way, and if our Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army is caught up, I am afraid it will not be able to catch it, and even if it catches up, it will not be able to eat them. What shall we do, or would you please give your opinion? ”

Chief of Staff Liu Zhiyuan said: "According to reliable intelligence, the main force of Tang Enbo of the 31st Group Army has jumped out of the enemy's big encirclement, and of course the 33rd Group Army cannot encircle it, mainly on the outer line. As for the 2nd Army, they will not be surrounded, and they still have the upper hand here. What I'm worried about is the main force of the Zaoyang front, that is, the 11th Group Army of our Middle Route Army, who are in this encirclement. ”

Hou Dashan is the head of the regiment, of course, he also has some overall view, he said to Liu Zhiyuan: "According to what you say, whether we want to fish people out, we just fish out the 11th Group Army." ”

Han Xing did not speak, mainly to let everyone speak and inspire everyone's thinking.

Liu Zhiyuan is the chief of staff, and of course he has a good grasp of the overall situation. He said: "I mean, the 11th Army is in danger, we are to save people, fish out the 11th Army." As for other aspects, it can be slowed down. ”

You Qianqian, Yin Zhaoli, and Zhang Xiaosan are battalion-level cadres, of course, their brains are still spinning quite fast, and then they said: "According to what you say, the situation is already 100,000 urgent, what meeting do we have, let's get people immediately!" "Yes, it's important to save people." "What's going on at that, start pulling it out immediately!"

At this time, it was Han Xing's turn to speak, and Han Xing said: "Why do you hold this meeting, because if you don't hold a meeting to discuss it, everyone can't figure out how serious the situation is." The second is the Suiyangdian front line from the front line of Miyang to the front line of Zaoyang, which is more than 100 kilometers away, and it is separated by a Tongbai mountain area, and the road is not easy to walk. So I decided to use our helicopter transport, and the tank battalion had to take a detour.

Another thing is that everyone must know a little about this 39th Division. This 39th Division, like the 3rd Division, had a tank wing to cover them, and they also had more than a hundred aircraft of the Air Force to support them. So don't underestimate it. ”

The meeting ended quickly, and everyone did not have much time to discuss, so the meeting immediately dispersed for pre-war mobilization. Xu Da's Z-8 helicopter arrived soon.

On the front line of Miyang, Zhang Fei personally led the team, and under the order of Han Xing, he arrived with 12 Z-8 helicopters. Under normal circumstances, Han Xing was reluctant to use helicopters to transport troops in broad daylight. However, the military situation was urgent, and he couldn't take care of it, so he broke the convention and transported troops during the day.

The 18.90-meter-diameter rotor on the helicopter fanned the ground with flying sand and rocks, and the huge wind uprooted the gravel, rotten branches, and even the roots of small grass on the ground. The helicopter rotors sent the debris into the air, and then the debris slowly fell again in the distance.

12 Z-8-helicopters slowly fell to the ground one by one.

Sun Lianzhong, who came to see him off, was also shocked by this scene, and he said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, our equipment is too backward compared to the Japanese army, but the Japanese army is too backward compared to your equipment. Weapons are not the deciding factor, but they are also a very important factor! I hope that our 2nd Army will improve its equipment as soon as possible, so that it can fight face-to-face with the Japanese army, and it will not suffer too much. ”

Han Xing said to Zhang Xiaosan: "Battalion Commander Zhang, all the guards are on board and follow me to the front line of Suiyangdian in Zaoyang." ”

Zhang Xiaosan agreed: "Yes!" He then directed his battalion of guards to all board the plane.

Han Xing was the last to get on the helicopter, and Sun Lianzhong held Han Xing's hand tightly and said, "Commander Han, I don't know when we can meet today." I wanted to treat you to a drink, but the war didn't give us that opportunity. ”

Han Xing also shook his hand and said, "The coming day is long, I think there must be a chance." When the time comes, I invite you. ”

The two shook their hands again before reluctantly saying goodbye. The helicopter was about to take off, and the huge fan kicked up the dust on the ground again, and there was chaos around him, and Sun Lianzhong had to leave this place surrounded by guards.

The Z-8 helicopter has a crew of 2 crew members, a width of 5.2 meters, a fuselage length of 18 meters, a maximum commercial weight of 3 tons, and can carry more than 30 armed soldiers. The maximum level flight speed is 273 km/h, and the maximum range is 800 km. Armed for self-defense, two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns were mounted.
