About 4 p.m., Texas.

Bai Chongxi walked into the headquarters with a gloomy face in his hand, and said in a deep voice in front of Jiang Haoran: "Ziqian, the third attack of the 43rd Group Army has been repulsed again. ”

Jiang Haoran closed his eyes and slapped his forehead sharply, his expression painful and helpless.

Bai Chongxi continued: "Deputy Commander Su Canwu suggested stopping the assault, changing the earthwork, digging under the enemy's bunker and blasting, you see ......"

Jiang Haoran said angrily: "To put it lightly, earthwork? How long will it take, and by the time they dig through, the airborne division will have already been wiped out. ”

"But......" Bai Chongxi stopped talking, but soon continued: "But the strong attack is indeed unrealistic, the enemy has worked the second line of defense, the bunker is connected by tunnels, whether it is our heavy artillery or aerial bombs, they can't break their armor, and the tank troops are blocked by anti-tank cones outside the defense line, these three offensive fronts are already full of corpses, I'm afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers will not be able to tear apart the enemy's defense line?" ”

Jiang Haoran gritted his steel teeth, but he couldn't refute it, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "According to Su Canwu's plan, how long will it take to do earthwork?" ”

"Seven days at least."

"Seven days? I'm afraid we won't have an airborne division in seven days? ”

Both of them were silent, with a painful look on their faces, the airborne division is undoubtedly the most elite strategic force of the national army at present, and its value is that ten infantry divisions cannot be exchanged, if ten infantry divisions can be exchanged for the safety of the airborne division in Baxian, Jiang Haoran will not hesitate, but for now, ...... There are no ifs.

"Forget it, order Lu Erniu to implement Su Canwu's plan." Jiang Haoran said lonely that he could only choose reason when he knew that he could not break through, of course the airborne division wanted to save it, but he could only find another way.

Bai Chongxi nodded, and was about to leave, Jiang Haoran said again: "What is the configuration of troops on the enemy's defensive line, I mean the ratio of the island army and the Su puppet." ”

Bai Chongxi hesitated slightly, and said: "The 50th Army of the Island Army is four divisions, and there are two Soviet puppet divisions, and the 52nd Army of the Island Army is two divisions and four Soviet puppet divisions, and the troops that have appeared on the entire defense line are all this, among them, there are about two divisions and two puppet army divisions in the Jinghai direction, about two divisions and three Soviet puppet divisions in the Baxian direction, and the least in the Dingxing direction, one division and one Soviet puppet division. Of course, these are all pressed at the forefront, and it is estimated that there is more than this number in the rear. ”

Jiang Haoran waved his hand at Bai Chongxi, signaling that he could leave, sat on the chair with his hands folded on his chest, and began to fall into a state of contemplation.

After a long time, Jiang Haoran suddenly shouted at the guard at the door: "Get Adjutant Lin." ”

After a while, Lin Long walked in quickly: "Chief Seat, are you looking for me?" ”

Jiang Haoran hurriedly said: "Let me ask you, how did the rebellion of the group of Soviet puppet army prisoners in Southeast County go?" ”

Lin Long said: "There is little effect, on the surface there seems to be no problem, but it is for the sake of survival, and it is far from reaching the point of rebellion, the key is that they don't believe that Stalin can overturn their 'Order No. 270', so that they still have hope of returning to the Soviet Union, at the same time, they don't believe that the Soviet Union has assigned a large part of Western Siberia to China, it seems that Stalin did not make this news public in order to maintain stability, so your plan to promise that they can settle down in Western Siberia has also been questioned by them." ”

The Soviets combined the strength of the Cossacks with the fierceness of the nomads, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers should not be underestimated, and they must not be compared with the puppet Manchu puppet army, after all, the puppet Manchu puppet army still has the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in its veins, the homeland is still on this land, and future generations will still live on this land, and there will be some feelings, conscience and scruples to some extent, and they can be disintegrated by propaganda and offensive. But the millions of Soviet puppet troops marched into China, and they had no country, no home and no scruples, which was equivalent to a group of outlaws.

Jiang Haoran has always hoped to use the plan of "surrendering the army without a fight" to disintegrate them, and the best way is of course to solve their psychological barriers, so that they can still find a sense of belonging and rekindle the hope of returning home.

Therefore, Jiang Haoran attached great importance to these captives, hoping to find a breakthrough from them, first transferred a group of experienced political cadres from Yan'an, and then sent an urgent telegram to Stalin, strictly understanding the power of it, hoping that the Soviet authorities could cooperate with him to complete this task.

"So you still can't solve the current dilemma?" Jiang Haoran muttered blankly.

In the case of an unfavorable offensive, he hoped to implement this plan in advance, and the strength of the Soviet puppet army on the enemy's defense line would reach half, if this half of the troops could be disintegrated through propaganda, the enemy would inevitably be in chaos, and the entire defense line would soon collapse, so the airborne division would be saved, but it was a pity......

"Boss, who do you think I brought here?" Suddenly, a frosty voice sounded at the door.

At this time, no one who came could relieve the troubles in Jiang Haoran's heart, the cold temptation did not make Jiang Haoran's gloomy expression a little happy, and he reflexively cast his eyes on the door, but in the next second, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed: "Tang Zhisheng!" ”

"Boss, it's me, I'm back!"

The person who came stood up and saluted, grinning at Jiang Haoran, it was Tang Zhisheng, the captain of the Soviet Air Force.

"It's really you, outwitted!" Jiang Haoran got up and stepped forward, looked at Tang Zhisheng's face, picked up his hand and looked at it again, and said in a deep voice: "Hurt you?" ”

Tang Zhisheng's face and hands have traces of freezing damage, and the pus on his hands is not even completely healed.

"It's not bitter, the total seat, it's just a little cold." Tang Zhisheng said with a smile.

Jiang Haoran nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Are the soldiers all back?" ”

The smile immediately froze on Tang Zhisheng's face, followed by indescribable pain: "With me, there are still fifty-four people left, and the rest are all ......."

Tang Zhisheng wanted to cry and couldn't say any more, the air force composed of two hundred and forty or fifty people to aid the Soviet Union had only been half a year, and only one mantissa was left, and it was buried in a foreign country, it was difficult to find the body of the pilot who was killed, and it was a luxury to return to his hometown, how could he let these brothers who came back alive not griev?

The people in the room were gloomy, especially in this unfavorable battle situation, and the death of the airborne teachers and students was uncertain, which made everyone even more sad, the two women wept silently, Jiang Haoran's eyes were also red, he patted Tang Zhisheng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "They are all good sons of China, for the country and the nation to stain the battlefield with blood, dedicate their young lives, the country and the people will always remember what they have done, they will be immortal!" ”
