Guilin, the former enemy headquarters of the National Army.

Jiang Haoran's eyes were bloodshot, and he stood on the edge of the combat sand table with a black face, and all the staff officers and generals were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.

After a sleepless night, Jiang Haoran still failed to stabilize the situation, even if he retreated, he was chased and beaten by the premeditated enemy and suffered countless losses, and the most terrible thing was that Tang Enbo's entire two divisions were surrounded.

In Jiang Haoran's hands, there was no record of being annihilated by the enemy in a division-level unit, but this time, no one had a bottom in their hearts, and the cloud of defeat had overwhelmed everyone in the command headquarters.

After fighting with the enemy last night, it has been affirmed that these people who suddenly appeared in the front line are the enemy's Southern Army, and it has also been affirmed that it is the most elite Guards Division of the Island Army that besieges Tang Enbo's department.

The elite division of the island army really did not suffer any less losses in the hands of Jiang Haoran, and the worst thing was probably the Battle of Lashio, a division with an overstaffed army of more than 40,000 people, but less than half of them went back, and they also lost a strategic heavy artillery brigade in their hands.

In the subsequent battles of Mandalay, Pingmanna, and Yangon, they all lost their armor and lost all the way.

And this time, they succeeded in surrounding the two divisions of the national army, and everyone knew that the 1st Guards Division was afraid that it would take this evil breath out on Tang Enbo.

Li Cang, the head of the Intelligence Division, hurriedly came in to report that Liu Qiaoshou had sent a telegram from the Governor of French Indochina, and Jean Degu was extremely angry at Sharon's defection, and had mobilized heavy troops to quell the rebellion, and at the same time apologized for the trauma caused to the Chinese army.

Because of the dark clouds of the defeat in the Battle of Guangxi, Jean Degu already felt the threat of the border, so at the end of the telegram, he earnestly pleaded with the Chinese side to mobilize a large army to assist in the defense of the border of Vietnam, so as to ensure the security of Hanoi.

"It's beautiful, the situation in front of us is all thanks to them French, and now I think we're going to protect them, fuck it."

Liu He immediately scolded angrily when he saw the telegram, and some staff officers and generals around him also echoed with righteous indignation, but Jiang Haoran was still expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, and said quietly for a long time: "Where is Lu Han's First Army now?" ”

Liu He said: "They will enter Chongzuo soon. ”

Jiang Haoran bit his lip, opened it several times but didn't say anything, it seemed that he was struggling in his heart, and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Send a telegram to Lu Han, order the First Army not to enter Chongzuo, and the army will immediately turn around and drive to the border of Vietnam, and cooperate with the French army to arrange a defensive line to block the enemy." At the same time, he ordered the two divisions of the Far Fifth Group Army in the direction of Nanning to immediately move to Chongzuo and arrange a steel defense line with five divisions to prevent the enemy from continuing to advance. ”

"Total ......"

"Total ......"

There was a miserable cry in the command headquarters, these few orders were equivalent to pronouncing the death sentence of Tang Enbo and the two divisions under his command, and even the three divisions that might go to the rescue in the end were withdrawn, and Jiang Haoran was going to give up on them completely.

Liu He even screamed: "General seat, you can't do this, these are more than 20,000 student soldiers, all of them are dolls in their teens and twenties, they are the pillars of the country in the future, we can't just leave them behind." ”

A trace of pain flashed in Jiang Haoran's eyes, and then he said sharply: "In my eyes, they are just soldiers, soldiers who fight for the country and the nation, for the country, for the nation, for the people of all China, fighting bloody battles, this is their fate." ”

"What fate? Are you abandoning them, is this their destiny? Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Far Fifth Group Army? Lin Long stood up and said sharply, every word piercing his heart.

Jiang Haoran's body trembled, and he yelled at Lin Long with some anger: "Okay, you come and tell me how to save them?" Now that it is known that there is an enemy Shigetto Division and the 1st Guards Division in the direction of Qinzhou, can you guarantee that there is anything we don't know? Okay, let's assume that the enemy is facing these two divisions, but now there is still a Botian division from Nanning in the flank, these three divisions are all elite divisions of the island army, of which two Taiwan divisions are in the B formation, with a troop allocation of about 28,000, and the first Guards Division is a type A formation, with a terrifying troop allocation of more than 40,000, and we only have three divisions in the front. Also, if these divisions are all lost, then who will guard Chongzuo? Now you tell me, how are we going to save them? ”

Jiang Haoran undoubtedly said the truth, and the headquarters was suddenly a lot quieter, but Lin Long pursed his lips and continued: "Don't we still have Lu Han's First Army, what does it matter to us whether the French live or die?" You went to rescue them, but you didn't care about the life and death of your own people? ”

"You fart!" Jiang Haoran shouted: "The life and death of the French is none of our business, but what they are best at is surrendering, once they find that the timing is not right, it is not good that the little devils can surrender their weapons as long as there is a wing interspersed with it, it doesn't matter if they surrender, but there is a Yunnan-Vietnam railway in Hanoi that goes directly to Yunnan, and now the whole of Yunnan is empty, what should they do if they kill it from here?" And now is the critical moment when a large number of supplies and resources for aid to the Soviet Union are pouring in, once we can't even have a safety guarantee for this key transportation line, how can the rice, Britain, and Soviet Union believe that we can build the Great Northwest transportation line? ”

Jiang Haoran's words made everyone present die down, Lin Long also bit his lip and stood aside with a red face, and everyone began to disperse slowly, according to Jiang Haoran's orders, all kinds of instructions were sent to every unit at the front.

In fact, everyone knows that Jiang Haoran is more uncomfortable than anyone else at this time, and it is actually very inspiring to make this decision, not to mention that Jiang Haoran has always regarded the lives of the soldiers as more important than anything else, and he has never been the kind of irresponsible commander, which is not a kind of purgatory-like pain and destruction for him.

After Liu He finished his work, he walked to Jiang Haoran's side again, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said softly: "Boss, did you send the message to Tang Enbo or did I send it?" ”

Jiang Haoran looked at Liu He for a few seconds, and finally waved his hand and said nothing.

Liu He also understands very well, he wants to tell his subordinates in person that he is going to abandon them, who can say such words?

"Wait, Chief of Staff!" Just when Liu He turned around, Jiang Haoran opened his mouth and said, "Tell the old chief, I, Jiang Haoran, am sorry for him, I will take care of his family, and I will burn him for every New Year's holiday in the future...... Paper money. ”

Jiang Haoran stretched out his hands to cover his face as he spoke, but tears flowed out from between his fingers in an instant.
