Shang Wu closed the battle report that he hadn't finished reading heavily. He really couldn't stand this combat report.

"What's wrong?" Jia Xu looked at it and asked.

"These people are just ordinary people, and their family situation is still very bad, there are old mothers, brothers, sisters, and nothing at home." Shang Wu's eyes were very red and swollen and he said.

"They are indeed very ordinary, with their own joys and sorrows. But in this case, they did something very ordinary. They are heroes. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. They are heroes, and how can we remember such heroes? Shang Wu asked.

"Hmm. It's not easy to do. Our Valhalla was filled with so many people at once. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm. I know. Discuss this matter with several major commanders and ask them to think of a way, the war is not over, and even after it is over, we must not forget their merits. Shang Wu said.

"They're heroes." Shang Wu said. The battle reports that Shang Wu looks at are reports that record all kinds of heroes. Many of them were ordinary people, but they did great things, and they gave their lives to end the war as soon as possible. For the sake of his companions, in order to save so many people, Shang Wu can no longer describe them in words, behind the simple report, there are unforgettable memories, such memories will gradually erase over time, Shang Wu does not want such memories to be erased, he hopes to pass them on, which requires Shang Wu to use other methods to stabilize the situation, this is the most important thing.

"The war is still going on, what should we do next? It seems that Huangfu Song is going to have a decisive battle with us. If we can't solve Huangfu Song, all wars will not end. Jia Xu said.

"Hmm." Shang Wu rubbed his face with both hands, looking at the extremely heavy reports, and the whole person's mood became low.

"The latest report sent by Ma Heng said that several battle groups had formed on the front line to temporarily surround Huangfu Song, and if they wanted to attack the core area of Huang Fu Song, they must have artillery fire support, otherwise, they would pay a great price in casualties to end such a battle, and I agreed with their approach." Jia Xu said.

"They did the right thing, we don't need to sacrifice more people at the last minute, the loss of personnel is too great." Shang Wu said as he looked at the report.

"Order them, slow down the tempo, surround them, as long as they hold such a situation, it will be a victory, one brigade plus three brigades, their forces are too small. Pack up the remnants of the surrounding troops, and at the same time take psychological warfare to psychologically persuade them to win more people to surrender. The same is true for the New Army in the West Garden, if they can win over more people at once, it will be the best. If you can't. Let's think about it. Shang Wu said.

"In short, we can't afford to increase casualties. After such a war, our family is almost gone. There can be no more losses in personnel. We can't afford to wipe out our homes. At the same time, you have to lose more troops, right? This is obviously not a very realistic thing, so we should not go too far with such a thing. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. Indeed, I think that the initiative in the current war is in our hands, and we should slow down the pace and wait until the Second Infantry Brigade and the artillery units are in combat mode, and then we can reach such a situation. Jia Xu said.

"Yes, we have to wait until such a situation to resolve the outcome of the war." Shang Wu said. It was not easy to end the war, and Shang Wen could understand this.

The Red Turban Army was pouted almost overnight, and the first battle that rose up was to fight against the extremely tough opponents of the official army, and the risks faced by such operations were still very great, since they had already grasped the initiative in the war, they must control the rhythm of the war, and slowing down the offensive was conducive to their self-adjustment and launching an offensive under the most favorable circumstances, on the contrary, the officers and troops who were in a state of siege were in a very unfavorable situation. This will make their situation very bad, and their morale will gradually dissipate in a state of siege, one morale will gradually rise and recover, and the other will gradually dissipate, fall, rise and fall. Judgment from above. The advantage of the Red Turbans is very large.

Shangwu also learned many keys in the process of the Huaihai Campaign to achieve this, the scale of the Huaihai Campaign is far larger than this, but at the same time, it must be considered. The Red Turban Army has just been established not long ago, they can get such an advantage in such a situation, this is also a big one, the two battles are very similar to some extent, if there is no such similarity, let Shangwu command such a big battle at once, if you can't grasp the rhythm well, many things are difficult to deal with. That's what Shangwu was worried about.

Inside the headquarters of the old wood. Old Mu's eyes were bloodshot. The new army they besieged in the West Park had reached its final hour. They had been out of food for the next day. If much hadn't changed, the old wood would have collapsed. He envisioned two scenarios, one was to develop as they expected, and a large number of Xiyuan soldiers surrendered, and the second was that they made a situation where they were trapped and fighting, and continued to open a gap in other directions and rush out.

If it is the second case, Lao Mu feels very passive, or rather, he can only watch the other party run out, and he can't do anything, why, because he has no reserves in his hands. Without reinforcements, it was already impossible for him to eat the new army in Xiyuan. Lao Mu is ready to accept the worst situation and develop. In this regard, I can't sleep at all in the past few days, I don't sleep much, and I also dream that the new army in Xiyuan has run away.

"Lao Mu, Lao Mu, good news." Zhang Qing's smile was full of folds on his face, and his whole person laughed more ugly than crying.

"What good news." Lao Mu said weakly.

"You would never have imagined that the new army of Xiyuan would come over more than 8,000 people at once. More than 8,000 people. There aren't many people in there anymore. Last night, on the positions of the Fourth Infantry Brigade alone, there were 5,000 people at once, and there were also people on other positions, and there were still people coming this morning, you would never have imagined such a result. Zhang Qing said excitedly.

"Bang dang." Lao Mu broke the big bowl in his hand at once. He really didn't expect such news. He never dreamed of it.

"What do you say? Say it again? Lao Mu asked in a voice.

"Eight thousand." Zhang Qing looked at Lao Mu and said.

"Great. Damn, the new army in the West Garden has finally loosened. If they don't let go, Lao Tzu will suffocate to death. Lao Mu circled around the entire command post excitedly a few times. He was excited and wanted to vent.

"Great. That's great. Lao Mu said excitedly.

"Alright. That's it, that's it. Zhang Qing said. In fact, none of them could believe that there was such a result.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Lao Mu asked excitedly, he wanted to know what was going on.

Immediately, Zhang Qing told Lao Mu everything they knew, and they would never have thought that a bowl of hot dumpling soup would surpass the threat of a cannon. Many of the surrendered Xiyuan New Army simply couldn't resist a bowl of hot dumpling soup, and when they ate it, they not only felt hot all over their bodies, but also had a sense of hope, a sense of home, and they hadn't felt like this for a long, long time.

The days in the encirclement made many soldiers desperate, and they lost their last hope of survival. In such a situation, it is difficult for them to continue fighting. Dumpling soup is the biggest lethal weapon, under the offensive of dumpling soup, the morale of the new army in Xiyuan instantly collapsed.

"Lao Mu, let's attack, I think the time may be ripe." Zhang Qing said this after talking about the situation.

"Nope. Wait, wait, wait. Perhaps, our opportunity has not yet come. We will first digest such a large number of troops. And then then you go on the offensive again, so it's safer. Lao Mu said back and forth. To be honest, Lao Mu was also very excited at this moment, and he was about to go crazy with excitement. He had never been so happy, these surrendered Xiyuan New Army, as long as a little education, they could immediately go into battle, and they were even better than the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Good. Good. That's it. Zhang Qing said continuously. Such a scene suddenly happened on the battlefield, which caught everyone off guard, but after all, this is a good thing, Lao Mu can stay calm in such a situation, this is indeed very good, after all, many things can not be solved in a short period of time.

Small river beach. It has now been taken over by the forces of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, one or two companies of the 11th Regiment. They temporarily formed a strong blocking position. Zhou Cang, they can finally withdraw from here.

"Sir, this is the small river beach position." A staff officer said to Ma Heng. Ma Heng looked at such a position and was stunned. Because there was no defensive operation at all here, it was very conducive to the enemy's frantic attack, and he did not know how the men of the Independent Brigade held such a position.

"The people of the Independence Brigade, where are they?" Ma Heng asked after looking at the topography of the position, this is the plain terrain, a small river beach, as the name suggests, it is a river beach washed out by a small river, and the river here is gentle and very suitable for crossing the river. Personnel and equipment can be spent wading through the water here, and it is precisely for this reason that Huangfu Song chose here. Such terrain can only be conducive to attack, but not to defense, because the defending side cannot find a single commanding height. The open field is very conducive to the deployment of the opponent's forces, and it is possible to line up an attack of more than 3,000 people at once. It takes a lot of courage to defend a place like this.

"Report, captain of the independent brigade, Zhou Cang came to report." At this time, Zhou Cang reported.

"Are you Zhou Cang?" Ma Heng asked the other party.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Cang said.

"You've worked hard, and the whole battle, without you, would have been a different situation. Your credit is very great. Ma Heng said.

"Sir, don't talk about the credit or anything. The brethren are just tired. Zhou Cang said.

"Hmm. You're all good. What I want to know is, why are you able to show so much courage to hold this place? Ma Heng asked.

"I mean, this is a river flat, and you can't defend a position like this, so why would you do such a thing?" Ma Heng asked.

"Sir, to be honest, I don't know why I did this, but my partner knows that if he is allowed to say this, he will be able to come up with a whole lot of reasons." Zhou Cang replied truthfully.

He said that the Red Turban Army is an ideal unit, that is, it has wiped out all the troops' families. But there are hopes, there are ideals, and the troops will be re-established, and it is not terrible to shoot light. I'm afraid that I don't have any ideas. Zhou Cang said.

"Anyway, I said a lot, and I can't tell what it is, but since I'm here. We have to dare to fight and fight. What is that sentence called, called, narrow road, what brave wins. Zhou Cang said.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." The staff officer on the side added.

"Yes, that's it, although it sounds literal. But this sentence sounds good. is such a reason, the independent brigade is not afraid of him, and it has to play with spirit. Zhou Cang said.

"And then, we just fought." Zhou Cang said.

"Can I see that partner of yours?" Ma Heng asked.

"Well, sir, it's not good. He, he went. Killed. Because, because of me. I was useless and was killed by the cavalry troops. Zhou Cang said.

"Well, I'm sorry. You have a good rest. Ma Heng said this, he saw that something was wrong with Zhou Cang, and he knew that the other party's partner might not be such a simple friendship. watched Zhou Cang slowly leave here. Ma Heng was very emotional.

"This is a heroic unit, with combat capabilities, no less than our 3rd brigade." Ma Heng said.

"Sir, our third brigade can do the same. The same was true of the original bloody battle of Guangzong. A staff officer on the side said. Naturally, they justified their troops.

"That's different, it's an offensive operation, it's a momentum, such an offensive momentum, it's easy to fight, but here it's a defensive operation, or a blocking battle, the strength is not dominant, and the spirit of self-sacrifice must be shown, do our three brigades have such troops? Can you show such momentum? Ma Heng asked.

"This." The staff officer did not answer well.

"We took out a regiment and wiped it out. Are you distressed? Ma Heng asked.
