"A good thing? What a good thing, I'll see. Gu Shutong took the telegram as he spoke, only glanced at it, and immediately showed a strange look on his face, if he wants to say happy, he seems to be a little happy, but if he wants to say how happy he is, he can't seem to talk about it, basically a constipated look.

Xu Rui was actually willing to give up all the more than 100 heavy artillery pieces he had captured, which was a good thing.

But Xu Rui actually opened his mouth and asked the government to exchange the Hanyang Arsenal, which was too much, although Sun Changhe pointed out in the telegram that this was just Xu Rui's sky-high asking price, and they could bargain on the ground, but since Xu Rui dared to offer such a sky-high price, then his reserve price must not be low.

And according to Yang Bainan's guess, Xu Rui's lowest reserve price is mostly Jinling Arsenal.

All in all, what Xu Rui wants is an arsenal, not guns and ammunition.

I have to say that Xu Rui, this kid is really a monkey spirit, and he will really find an opportunity to extend this hand.

The stakes were so high that Gu Shutong did not dare to make a hasty decision, and immediately forwarded the telegram to the High Command, and the matter was decided by the High Command and Chairman Chiang.

While waiting for the reply from the headquarters, Gu Shutong and Wan Xiangyun returned to the simulated sand table, and Gu Shutong said to one of the major generals' staff officers: "Staff Officer Liu, where did you just go?" ”

The staff officer of the major general said: "The next move of the devil was mentioned just now, and now the situation in Feicheng has been completely reversed, although the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade still exists, but the morale of the army has been greatly damaged, and what is even more gratifying is that the supply line of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade has been cut off by the independent regiment, and self-protection is still insufficient. ”

Gu Shutong nodded and said, "So what? ”

The staff officer of the major general said: "Therefore, I think that the devils of Fuyang and Mengcheng will definitely break through to the north in order to seek to converge with the 14th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army going south from Shangqiu and Xuzhou, and if the Japanese army in Shangqiu and Xuzhou goes south, Bozhou will become the primary target, so I suggest that one or two more divisions be transferred to Bozhou." ”

"Doesn't you have to?" Wan Xiangyun frowned and said, "Bozhou has Gui Yongqing's 28th Army stationed, it should be enough, the 28th Army is based on the remnants of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, most of the grassroots officers are cadets of the Central Military Academy, and the equipment is also first-class in the national army, so there should be no problem in holding Bozhou." ”

The staff officer of the major general said: "But Bozhou is likely to face a north-south attack by the Japanese army." ”

Wan Xiangyun said: "Even in the face of the Japanese army's attack from the north and south, it is always no problem to hold on for three days, right?" As long as they can hold out for three days, the northward cluster of Japanese troops in Central China will be over. ”

The staff officer of the major general shut up and didn't speak, and then he slapped Wan Xiangyun in the face.

In the third war zone, Wan Xiangyun and Gui Yongqing are almost an open secret.

Gu Shutong listened to it and said: "In this way, immediately ask the command to transfer Long Muhan's 88th Division to the Bozhou front line as soon as possible, and temporarily include it in the battle sequence of the 28th Army." ”

"Yes!" The staff officer of the major general took the order.

(Dividing Line)

Feicheng, the independent regiment is now without a fight.

However, Xu Rui did not relax his vigilance, but sent scouts to Changfeng in the north and Chaoxian in the south to closely monitor the movements of the devils in the north and south, so that once it was found that the Wuhu devils had signs of going north, or the Changfeng devils had signs of going south, the independent regiment could respond in advance.

Then, Xu Rui ordered to rest separately.

Feicheng has been completely in ruins, since the devil will not come again in a short time, then there is no need to wait here, you can take this precious opportunity to let the troops go to the surrounding villages and towns to rest, no matter what, in the surrounding villages and towns, you can still find people to boil hot water to drink, and you can shave your head and shave your face or something, and go to get tired.

At this point, Xu Rui knew that the task of the independent regiment had been completed.

In this battle for the defense of Feicheng, the performance of the independent regiment can be said to be beyond everyone's imagination.

Even Xu Rui himself didn't think that Feicheng would be able to defend it until the end!

Originally, in Xu Rui's prediction, Feicheng would hold on for seven to eight days at most, and then the independent regiment should break through, as for how many people can be highlighted in the end, then only God knows, according to Xu Rui's estimate, the best result will be four or five hundred remnants left, and the worst result may be more than a dozen people left.

However, until now, the independent regiment has actually kept Feicheng, and the devils are actually powerless to attack anymore, at least for three days, it is impossible for the devils to attack Feicheng again.

And the independent regiment actually has almost two thousand people left!

Of course, the independent regiment has also reached the end of its strong crossbow, and it is powerless to fight back.

Otherwise, with Xu Rui's character, he will definitely take advantage of your illness and ask for your life, and eat the main force of the Kumamoto Division and Kikuchi Brigade that is trapped in Changfeng, but unfortunately now the independent regiment is also at the end of the crossbow, not only the energy and physical strength of the officers and soldiers have entered the limit state, but even the ammunition supply is almost unable to keep up.

Fortunately, the task of the independent regiment has been successfully completed, and it can be regarded as worthy of Luo Feng, who died in battle.

Next, it depends on the performance of the National Army, whether it can eat the 9th and 13th divisions trapped in Fuyang and Mengcheng, and whether it can change history, depends on the performance of the National Army, but Xu Rui has a faint worry in his heart, the inertia of history may not be so easy to change, especially the major events that determine the direction of history, I am afraid it will be difficult to change.

Seeing Xu Rui's worried face, Leng Tiefeng couldn't help but ask, "Old Xu, why aren't you so interested?" In any case, our independent regiment has won another big victory, and you should be happy. ”

"He's so happy that he has a ghost." Wang Husheng next to him replied casually, "There is a fire in his backyard." ”

"A fire in the backyard? The regimental headquarters caught fire? Leng Tiefeng turned his head to look at the land temple that was requisitioned by the Independent Regiment as a temporary regimental headquarters, and said confusedly, "No, the regimental headquarters didn't catch fire?" ”

Wang Husheng squirted out all the tea in his mouth.

In the past, Xu Rui said that veterans were loyal, but Wang Husheng didn't believe it, but now he believes it.

"Okay, okay, what's a backyard fire." Xu Rui said angrily, "Lao Wang didn't blow it from me, in my place, this is not a matter at all, can I worry about this?" You can't help but underestimate me, believe it or not, I'll coax Jiangnan happily when I turn around, as if nothing happened, belch. ”

"Okay, you can do it." Wang Husheng said, "Anyway, I forwarded the telegram to you, don't expect me to cover for you." ”

"If you don't cover up, you won't cover up, what a big deal, what's the matter when I'm really uneven?" Xu Ruiwo fire road.

At this time, Wang Husheng really saw that Xu Rui's mood was a little wrong, and asked with concern at the moment: "Old Xu, are you really angry?" ”

Xu Rui sighed and said: "Lao Wang, and veterans, although the Battle of Feicheng was won, the Battle of Xuzhou may not develop in the direction expected by the National Government. ”

Wang Husheng's heart sank, and he said: "You mean, the Yellow River bursts? ”

"Can't you?" Leng Tiefeng's face also changed, and he frowned and said, "No, categorically!" ”

"I hope my hunch is wrong." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Lao Wang, how prepared you were for the matter I asked you to buy food before?" ”

Wang Husheng said: "I have mobilized all the manpower and tried my best to buy, and the grain that has been bought back is about 5 million catties, and there may be about 5 million catties in the future." ”

"It's not enough." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "It's only 10 million catties, which is far from enough." ”

If Xu Rui's worries become true, if the historical tragedy repeats itself again, 10 million catties of food is indeed far from enough, even if it is counted as 100,000 refugees, each refugee can only get 100 catties, and no matter how much 100 catties of food is saved, it is only enough to eat for half a year, and this can only be hanged, if you want to ensure that the refugees have sufficient physical strength, everyone's rations will be doubled.

To make matters worse, once the Yellow River bursts, there will be tens of millions of refugees, not just 100,000!

Wang Husheng said: "But we have already bought all the grain in Puxian and neighboring counties, and if we want more grain, we can only go to northern Jiangsu to buy it, because there is no military disaster in northern Jiangsu, and there should be no shortage of grain, but the road is farther away, and the road is not very smooth, and there may be losses when the grain is transported back." ”

"No matter." Xu Rui said, "Send someone to buy it in northern Jiangsu immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Wang Husheng agreed very simply.

Xu Rui said again: "In addition to food, it is best to prepare some ships. ”

Seeing that Xu Rui was getting more and more vigorous, as if the Yellow River had really burst its banks, Leng Tiefeng finally couldn't help it, frowned and said, "I said Lao Xu, do you think Chairman Jiang is too unbearable?" Yes, Chairman Chiang's military level is indeed not good, but after all, he is the leader of the Nationalist Government, and he will always have the people in his heart, and he will never do such a thing that hurts nature and reason, so you can rest assured that the Nationalist Army will never blow up the embankment of the Yellow River. ”

Xu Rui said: "Chairman Jiang has the people in his heart? If he really pretended to be the people in his heart, he would not have ordered the Northeast Army to give up resistance, would not have watched the four eastern provinces fall into the hands of the enemy, and would never have watched the 30 million compatriots in the Northeast become slaves of the country! ”

"This ......," Leng Tiefeng retorted softly, "the order of non-resistance may not have been given by Chairman Jiang, it may be Zhang Xiaoliu's order." ”

"Zhang Xiaoliu? You think too highly of him. Xu Rui said coldly, "You can take a look at Zhang Xiaoliu's life deeds, whenever there is a major change, which time has he completed the decision-making independently?" To fight Duan Qirui, he needs Guo Songling's support, to beat Guo Songling, he needs the old handsome to support him, the Middle Road, he needs the National Government to support him, before the Xi'an incident, he even sought the CCP's support for him, you can tell me, which major incident Zhang Xiaoliu made decisions alone? If there is no order from Chairman Jiang, Zhang Xiaoliu dares to give up the Northeast? I'm afraid his small body can't carry this burden! ”

Leng Tiefeng was speechless.
