Back at the headquarters, Jiang Haoran immediately called Ma Jianhui from the Political Training Office and said straight to the point: "Director Ma, do you know about the surrender of several troops in the Third War Zone?" ”

Ma Jianhui's eyes flickered, and he said: "I've heard some about this and this, it seems that there is such a thing."

Jiang Haoran shouted angrily and said: "Wipe the damn, why is it so hard to talk to you, don't say it, you immediately investigate with Lao Tzu, how many of their troops have defected to the enemy, how many troops have been wiped out, how many people are left, and where are they?" Lao Tzu wants it immediately! ”

Jiang Haoran's loud shout almost didn't scare Ma Jianhui to roll, and he didn't dare to ramble anything, so he pulled out his legs and left, which caused a burst of chuckles from the command.

Jiang Haoran cleared his throat and asked Mei Xin to prepare pen and paper, he wanted to draft a telegram, and it was sent to the Supreme Military Council.

Mei Xin didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly prepared, and stared at Jiang Haoran with beautiful eyes.

Supreme Military Council of the National Government.

There was a lot of noise in the command headquarters, and the troops of the third theater openly surrendered to the enemy, the impact was too bad, everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know how Gu Zhutong also led the soldiers, and when they encountered a little pressure, they actually surrendered to the enemy, and they had no fighting spirit and temperament at all? If Lao Tzu's subordinates are like this, see if Lao Tzu doesn't live to split them.

Gu Zhutong sat in the corner with his head drooped, the sweat on his head was like rain, but his eyes still glanced at Chairman Fang from time to time to see his face.

The chairman's face was indeed not good, and after sweeping his eyes, he suddenly slapped the table vigorously, and said angrily: "I asked you to come not to open a batch of rice dumplings, but to solve the problem, what are you all doing?" ”

The chairman of the committee was angry, everyone was silent, only the chief of staff He Yingqin pulled his military uniform and said: "Commission, I think the only way to do this is to order the remaining troops of the Third Theater to move to the area of Pengze, and then order the troops of the Fifth Theater to respond from the north bank of the Yangtze River and cover the retreat of the Third Theater, otherwise there is no other way?" ”

Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of staff, said: "Commission, this will not work, if you are not careful, the troops of the Fifth Theater will be put in, and for today's plan, you can only let them disperse and break through, and you can save as much as you want!" ”

"Scattered breakout? Where did they break through, the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi areas were surrounded by the Japanese army like iron barrels, they didn't want weapons and ammunition, and they didn't want food reinforcements, do you say they had the strength to break through? Are you clearly leaving them to fend for themselves? Chen Chen, Minister of the General Political Department, said.

"Brother Ci, what do you say?"

Bai Chongxi kicked the ball to Chen Chen again, and immediately choked Chen Chen with a red face and a thick neck.

At this moment, a major general staff officer came in to report, saying that it was an urgent telegram from the Nanshan Independent Army, and Chen Chen immediately said: "Yes, you can ask Jiang Haoran about this matter, he will definitely have a way!" Maybe this message has something to do with that? ”

After Chen Chen finished speaking, he stepped forward first, took the telegram from the major general's staff officer, and looked at it, but was silent.

"What did you say?" The chairman said.

"Oh!" Chen Chen seemed to be startled, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Jiang Haoran said that he requested an expansion, the Nanshan Independent Army was expanded into a group army, the troops of the Third Theater were incorporated into his group army, and the original 32nd Group Army and the 10th Group Army were reduced to the new 32nd Army and the New 10th Army, and then he parachuted behind enemy lines and personally led them to break through. ”

Command was in an uproar.

"Hehe, this Jiang Haoran's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, expanding into a group army? Why didn't he simply expand into a war zone? Anyway, what he has in his pocket is also a war zone unit?"

"Yes, this Jiang Haoran is too daring to think, he has just been promoted to the second-level general of the army, and he will come to ask for troops in a blink of an eye? And this lion's mouth is open, tsk"

"I think this may only be done by Jiang Haoran, but he can give it a try, anyway, it is a dead horse as a live horse doctor!"

The chairman of the committee looked uncertain, looked at Chen Chen and said, "Cixiu, what do you think?" ”

Chen Chen said: "I think I can give it a try, although it is the establishment of a war zone, but now except for the 32nd Group Army and the 10th Group Army, the establishment is quite sound, and the others have already surrendered and scattered, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to collect, if Jiang Haoran does not make a move, I am afraid that it will not be long before they surrender and will be eaten by the Japanese army, so I think this matter can be tried." ”

The chairman of the committee looked at Chief He again, and Chief He shook his head helplessly, and said: "I'm afraid I can only give it a try for today's plan, as for whether they will be incorporated into the establishment of the Nanshan Independent Army after being rescued, we have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Sitting, you can't! The third war zone is my hard work! Gu Zhutong, who had been silent, was about to cry.

"Can't? Can't you have a better way? The chairman of the committee looked at him coldly and said gloomily.

"If you must go, I ask to be airborne with Jiang Haoran, and I will advance and retreat with my soldiers!" Gu Zhutong said excitedly.

Bai Chongxi on the side looked contemptuous, and muttered softly: "This will advance and retreat together, why did you go earlier?" ”

Chen Chen took Gu Zhutong's words and said: "Commissary, don't do it, if Commander Gu goes with you, this matter will be bad, the reason why Jiang Haoran wants to expand the organization is definitely not for his own selfish desires, he wants to completely control this army and facilitate the breakthrough, if Commander Gu goes, will they still listen to Jiang Haoran?" ”

What else does Gu Zhutong want to argue? Immediately frightened by the chairman's fierce eyes, he opened his mouth and didn't dare to open his mouth anymore, but just lowered his head gloomily.

In the end, the chairman of the committee made a final decision and said, "Just do it!" ”

Psychologically, the chairman of the committee absolutely did not want to do this, Jiang Haoran's momentum was too strong, and he was originally given the establishment of 100,000 men and six divisions, but the chairman hesitated for a long time, if it were not for the unanimous opinion of his wife and Wang Shihe that Jiang Haoran's heart could not be cold, nor could it chill the hearts of the people of the world, the chairman really could not make up his mind, and now he wants to hand over more than 100,000 troops to him, I really don't know if he will raise tigers for trouble. But if he left the army of more than 100,000 to fend for himself, I am afraid that everyone in the world will scold him for being incompetent, and at the same time, he is really worried that these hundreds of thousands of people will surrender. Cheap Japanese army or Wang's puppet government is really not as cheap as cheap Jiang Haoran.

In the war room of the Nanshan Independent Army, the staff officers are busy making a sand table according to the constantly collected intelligence, and the mountains and rivers in the entire Zhejiang and Jiangxi regions have jumped on the sand table, and according to the schematic map of the distribution of the enemy and us provided by Ma Jianhui, the deployment of troops on both sides has been clear at a glance. Whether this is entirely true, of course, remains to be confirmed.

Liu He looked at Jiang Haoran, who was focused, and said: "Junzao, I don't think you will go this time, I ask myself if I don't have this ability, but Brother Siyuan, why don't you let Brother Siyuan go this time?" ”

"yes, why don't I go this time? Don't worry, I'll get them out safely! Zhang Dabiao said.
