Leng Tiefeng stared at Xu Rui and said in a deep voice: "Old Xu, it seems that you are right, most of them are going to blow up the Yellow River embankment!" ”

Xu Rui shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Now, I hope that I am wrong, the Yellow River may be able to stop the Japanese army for a while, but it will definitely not be able to stop it for too long, the Japanese army can neither go west along the Longhai Railway, but also go west along the Yangtze River, and can also launch an attack on Wuhan, and the innocent people in the entire Huanghuai region, but there is no second way to go, once the Yellow River floods down, they will be displaced and forced to embark on the road of escape, after today, go to Guanzhong, go to Hubei, and go to the escape road in southern Anhui, It will cover the bones of more than 30 million refugees in the Huanghuai Valley. ”

Listening to Xu Rui's tragic depiction of the apocalyptic scene, Leng Tiefeng's eyes turned red in an instant.

"Lao Xu!" Leng Tiefeng's scarlet eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice, "Our independent regiment must not sit idly by!" ”

"Of course!" Xu Rui nodded heavily, and said extremely seriously, "Otherwise, what will I do when I gather you?" I summoned you overnight to arrange flood relief! ”

"Flood relief?" Leng Tiefeng said, "Yes, we want to fight the flood and provide disaster relief!" ”

Not long after, Wang Husheng, Qiu Feng, Xiao Yanyue, Yang Ba Nanan, He Guangming, Wan Chongshan, He Shuya, Xu Dekun, Ding Li, Lei Peng, Sun Changhe, and other regimental leaders and battalion and company-level commanders arrived one after another, and among the officers above the battalion level, only the cavalry battalion commander Tie Gang remained in the Dameishan base area and was absent from the meeting.

Xu Rui's cold gaze swept over the faces of the participating cadres, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you wake up from your sleep and convene this emergency meeting, I believe you all already know. ”

The participating cadres nodded their heads, indicating that they already knew.

Xu Rui said: "At today's emergency meeting, we will not discuss the loss of Bozhou, what kind of consequences will be brought about by the loss of Bozhou, we can't control it and can't take care of it, now, our top priority is to fight floods and provide disaster relief." ”

"Flood relief?" Yang Ba Nan was surprised and said, "Commander, are you mistaken, there is no flood right now." ”

Sun Changhe also said: "Yes, head of the regiment, the rainy season has passed, and the water level of the Feihe River is dropping, where is there any flood?" ”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "I'm not talking about the Fat River, it's the Yellow River!" ”

"Yellow River?" Yang Banan said, "I haven't heard that the Yellow River is going to flood?" ”

Sun Changhe also said: "Even if the Yellow River floods, it won't be able to flood central Anhui, right?" ”

The rest of the cadres attending the meeting also looked at each other, indicating that they were a little confused.

Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "You are talking about natural disasters, but I am talking about man-made disasters!" ”

"Man-made disaster?!" The cadres at the meeting looked awe-struck and began to react a little.

Xu Rui said again: "If the Nationalist Army Command orders to blow up the Yellow River embankment, do you still think that the Yellow River will not flood?" Do you still think that the flood will not be able to flood Anhui? ”

"It can't be!" Sun Changhe said categorically, "How can the Command Department blow up the embankment of the Yellow River!" ”

"Is the head of the regiment thinking too much?" Yang Bagan also obviously didn't believe it, and said, "How can the Command Department do such a hurtful thing?" ”

"Can't do it?" Xu Rui sneered, "If you think so, you're wrong." ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "In the eyes of Chairman Jiang, there has always been only interests, in order to achieve the goal, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed, as long as you can block the Japanese army a little, what is it to blow up the Yellow River embankment?" As long as the Japanese army can be stopped, what is the value of sacrificing 30 million people? ”

Sun Changhe frowned and said, "Commander, it's a bit too much for you to say that. ”

Yang Banan also said: "Commander, I firmly believe that the commission is not such a person. ”

However, the reality is cruel, Sun Changhe and Yang Bayan's words had just fallen, and Xiao Taohong hurried in again, followed by Yinhua's mother-in-law behind Xiao Taohong.

Granny Yinhua really fulfilled her promise and became Little Pink's personal bodyguard.

"Report to the head of the group." Xiao Taohong still called Xu Rui by his official title in front of people, and Lizheng reported, "The communications office has just received an urgent telegram from the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army, and the Nationalist Army has blown up the mouth of the garden at half past ten o'clock last night, the Yellow River has burst its embankment, and now the river has flooded down and flooded the entire eastern Henan." ”

Before Xiao Taohong's words fell, the entire conference room had exploded.

"My good man, I just said that I was going to blow up the Yellow River embankment, and this is really a bomb?"

"Donkey Day, this old Jiang is too lacking in morality, right, do this kind of thing?"

"Don't rush to conclusions, this may not be an order from the seat."

"For such a big matter, except for Lao Jiang, who dares to give this order, who dares to take this responsibility?"

"Is that possible, maybe it was a private order from the generals at the front? It's not out of the question. ”

"Fuck your mother's ass, which front-line general has the guts? didn't say it, this must be an order from Lao Jiang. ”

Wan Chongshan, who was born in the Northeast Army, He Guangming and Xu Dekun, who were born in the Northwest Army, had an extremely bad impression of Chairman Jiang, and naturally they were crusading in every way, while Yang Ba Nan and Sun Changhe were defending in every possible way, and the rest of the people basically remained silent.

Seeing that the two factions were arguing more and more intensely, Xu Rui became angry all of a sudden.

"Alright, shut up!" Xu Rui yelled, and finally suppressed the quarrel.

Then Xu Rui said to Xiao Taohong: "Little Taohong, what else did the telegram from the military department say?" ”

Xiao Taohong replied: "The head of the military department also said that we should prepare for the flood in advance, and also instructed us to help the disaster-loving people near the base area as much as possible. ”

Xu Rui waved at Xiao Taohong, indicating that he already knew.

Seeing Xiao Tao's shadow leave, Xu Rui turned his gaze back to the commanders of each battalion and company attending the meeting.

Xu Rui said: "It is now meaningless who gave the order to the Yellow River to burst, is it still useful to say this? Can the Yellow River embankment be plugged back? Can we bring back the flood that is flooding? ”

The two factions who had just quarreled immediately drooped their heads.

Xu Rui continued: "The Yellow River burst its banks, now it has become an indisputable fact, the flooding of the river has flooded eastern Henan, from the perspective of time, at the latest tomorrow morning the flood will rush to Huainan, at night will enter Anhui, leaving us with little time, we must hurry up to collect boats, and at the same time as much as possible to build rafts." ”

Wang Husheng added: "I would also like to say that at this stage, flood relief work is an overriding political event, and we must take the safety of people's lives and property as the primary consideration. ”

Xu Rui said: "The political commissar is right, disaster relief at this stage is more important than fighting devils. ”

After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Now, Director Qiu of the Political Department assigns the tasks of each unit. ”

Qiu Feng got up when he heard this, and said loudly: "Specifically, the 1st Battalion is responsible for the disaster relief work in Pu County......, the 2nd Battalion is responsible for Guanxian, the 3rd Battalion is responsible for Shanxian County, the Independent Battalion is responsible for the disaster relief work in Feicheng and the surrounding towns and towns, and the Cavalry Battalion is a mobile force that supports all directions at any time.

Xu Rui said: "Don't go out of the Ninth Vertical and Third Regiment, let them stay in the base area to resettle the refugees, it is foreseeable that in the next few days, a large number of refugees will enter the base area, and the resettlement of these refugees is also a huge and heavy work, and there are not enough manpower for fear that they will not be able to keep busy." ”

Xu Rui was worried that the cadets of the Ninth Vertical and Third Regiment would encounter devils when they went out.

These cadets were all seeds, and Xu Rui didn't want them to make any mistakes.

Wang Husheng nodded and said, "I think it's okay, just let the Nine Vertical and Third Regiment stay in the base area." ”

The opinions of the two chief officers were unified, and Qiu Feng naturally had no objections, and sat back on the stool at the moment.

Xu Rui's gaze swept over several battalion and company-level commanders, and he said in a deep voice, "The respective mission areas are clear, right?" If there's no problem, let's get ready to pull it out. ”

The battalion and company-level commanders who attended the meeting dispersed one after another.

Leng Tiefeng, Yang Bayan, Sun Changhe, Ding Li and Lei Peng were left behind by Xu Rui.

Xu Rui's gaze swept over the faces of Yang Bayan and said, "Do you know why the Political Department didn't assign you a task?" ”

Leng Tiefeng was aware and didn't say anything, but Yang Ba Nan shook his head in unison, they were still wondering about this matter just now.

Xu Rui said: "I didn't let the Political Department assign you a task, because there is a more important and difficult task waiting for you to complete. ”

After a pause, Xu Rui said again: "In order to stabilize the morale of the army just now, I didn't say much in front of everyone, but in front of a few of you, I must tell the truth that the flooding flood will bring deep disasters to the people of the entire Huanghuai River Basin, and it will also bring trouble to the little devils trapped in Huainan. While fighting devils, he rescued the people in the disaster area. ”

"Map." As soon as Xu Rui stretched out his hand after speaking, Lei Xiang spread out the map on the table.

Xu Rui motioned for several cadres to gather around, then pointed to the map and said: "You see, at present, the main force of the Kumamoto Division and the Kikuchi Brigade of the devils are entrenched in the area from Huainan to Bengbu, and the task of the regimental guard company, the wolf's tooth squadron and the veteran commando team is to rescue the people in this area, and at the same time eliminate the devils as much as possible." ”

Leng Tiefeng, Sun Changhe, Ding Li and Lei Peng nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they understood.

Xu Rui then asked, "If there are any other questions, you can raise them now." ”

Several people shook their heads at the same time, indicating that there was no problem, they were all clear.

"Okay." Xu Rui said, "Let's go and assemble the troops, and set off in ten minutes." ”
