"Commander Yu, return your gun, I said I would guarantee your safety, and now I have done what I said."

Zhou Shanjun put down the gun, reversed the grip, and handed it to Yu Yi.

"An empty gun, given to you. Ladies and gentlemen, the mountain is high and the road is long, and there will be no time in the future. Yu Yi walked forward without looking back and threw down this sentence.

The mountain is high and the road is far away, and there will be no time in the future! This sentence is not the last sentence that Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying want to say to the national army, and the last sentence they want to say to this rotten national government. Since then, they have taken on a new identity: the New Fourth Army!

…………

Through the contact between Zhao Lei and Tang Chunhong and that side, Sun Yumin finally knew what happened in Huoshan.

The news that he had let the guards of his hometown defect to the New Fourth Army was told by the traitor to Yu Yi, the commander of the 176th Division, and then Yu Yi reported it to Ou Shounian, who then reported it to Li Pinxian. Things were stabbed to the Ministry of Military Affairs layer by layer, He Yingqin and Dai Li were worried that they couldn't find a chance to ruthlessly rectify Sun Yumin, this sudden situation, relative to them, was undoubtedly not a pillow sent when they were sleepy, even if Liu Wenzhi didn't really go to the New Fourth Army, they all wanted to classify him as a "rebel", not to mention the fact that there were witnesses "ironclad". Under their orders, Yu Yi's 176th Division was ordered to intercept the Huoshan Independent Detachment that was going to "defect", and at this time, Liu Wenzhi took two companies to the county seat to pick up Zhou Shanjun and Wang Yanru and his wife, and when he returned, he was blocked by the 176th Division in Foziling.

Sun Yumin sighed at Liu Wenzhi and Gu Hongying's helpless actions, he really felt the truth that the plan did not change quickly. He knew that since this incident, there would be continuous troubles to find him, in short, it can be described in one sentence, that is, endless troubles.

Maybe everyone felt that the wind and rain were coming, and for several days, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the Twelfth Army was very depressing, and even Chen Lai felt this extremely uncomfortable atmosphere, but Sun Yumin was like a nobody, but everyone found from time to time that this military seat with a high degree of prestige would occasionally be in a daze these days, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to ask him what he was thinking.

"Junzao, I just received a telegram from Chief Xue, please go to the Ninth Theater Headquarters." Deng Dongping's soft call made Sun Yumin come out of the world of meditation.

"What to do? Is it because of my hometown? ”

"It should be, the telegram doesn't specify anything, just ask you to come over." After Deng Dongping said this, he said in a slur manner: "Junzao, I think you ......"

"Think what? Speaking of which, why don't you look like a man now, but like a housekeeper? "Sun Yumin has always disliked people who only speak half of their words, not to mention that he is now in a time of anxiety and boredom.

He is not a perfect person, he is not omnipotent, he originally planned that after the hometown troops defected to the New Fourth Army first, he would go to "clean up" on his side, and then bring the entire Twelfth Army with him, but Taizu and Zhou Gong's instructions to take care of the overall situation made his plan lose its feasibility at once, but in this middle wait, Liu Wenzhi and they have already taken this step, at this time, what is waiting for him is how to deal with the consequences of this matter, to put it nicely, it is to deal with the aftermath, and to put it badly, it is to wipe the ass. But no matter how you do it, you must be cautious, and if you are not careful, the entire 12th Army will be in great trouble, which is why Sun Yumin is often in a daze these days.

"I don't think you can go, Xue Yue doesn't know what traps have been arranged, waiting for you to jump." Deng Dongping was not angry because Sun Yumin said something unpleasant, he put forward his opinion.

"Isn't it just a Hongmen banquet, what dare you not go?" Although Sun Yumin said so on his lips, he planned in his heart that if he could carry this matter alone and not affect tens of thousands of soldiers of the Twelfth Army, then he was willing to take this responsibility, but he also knew very well that he and the Twelfth Army had already been an unbreakable whole, and they had already been both prosperous and loss-making. At the beginning, Han Fuyu's example was still in sight, and if the destruction of the Third Army could not be warned, then Sun Yumin would have lived this life in vain.

"Junzuo, you really can't go, the previous incident of the 81st Division has already annoyed a large group of people, and now there is the matter of Huoshan, no matter which thing it is, it is enough to make those who are looking forward to our bad luck step on our feet, not to mention that now the two things are together." Deng Dongping continued: "Director Zhao has received news that the 74th Army stationed in Hengyang City is stepping up preparations for war, and Ou Zhen's Fourth Army is also preparing for war. If you think about it, now the devils are powerless to start a war, and it is not so easy for the national army to counterattack, and their current goal of preparing for war is very clear, that is, us. ”

Zhao Lei has reported these situations to Sun Yumin, how can he not know the power, these two armies can be said to be the strongest troops in the entire Ninth Theater, although they may not be afraid of them, but the current situation is not just a temporary victory can be solved, if there is really a conflict with Wang Yaowu and Ou Zhen, not to mention what the outcome of the battle will be, first of all, their own logistics will be cut off immediately, once there is no supply, and the Twelfth Army is surrounded by more than 200,000 national troops, what will be the final outcome, Sun Yumin doesn't need to think about it to know.

Therefore, no matter whether Xue Yue set up a Hongmen banquet or a guillotine at the Ninth Theater Headquarters, he must go without hesitation, not for himself, but for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the four divisions of the Twelfth Army.

"I know all this, you don't need to say it anymore, reply to Xue Yue, I will go to Changsha immediately." Sun Yumin stopped Deng Dongping from continuing.

"No, Commander, I won't let you go anyway." Deng Dongping's tone was very resolute.

"If I don't go, the entire Twelfth Army will suffer, do you want to see tens of thousands of soldiers in extreme danger?" Sun Yumin said: "I understand your intentions, but sometimes, we have to take some responsibility. Without further ado, prepare the car and send me to Changsha. ”

"Throne ......"

"Execute the order!" Sun Yumin deliberately pretended to be impatient.

"Then I will inform the Chen brothers to go with you with the bayonet squad!" Deng Dongping knew Sun Yumin's character, and knew that no matter how much he said, he couldn't change his decision.

"No, no one is allowed to follow except the driver." Sun Yumin directly denied Deng Dongping's arrangement, he knew that he would definitely encounter some unexpected things, on other people's territory, those people may not dare to touch him, but to deal with the subordinates who followed him, kill the chicken and make an example of him This monkey, at that time he may not be able to save them, rather than being used to blackmail himself, it is better to go alone. With these henchmen of his own in control of the Twelfth Army, Sun Yumin believes that those people may not dare to do anything to him.

"No, if you were left alone, what would the brethren think of me? How can I, the chief of staff, continue to be the chief of staff? Please think twice, Dongping forgiveness. ”

"You don't have to worry so much, I want to go alone, naturally there is a reason to do this, you just need to remember that the troops are firmly in your hands, and no one can mobilize the troops without my orders," Sun Yumin paused, and then continued: "Even if it is Lao Jiang's own warrant, it will not work!" ”

"Don't worry, even if someone puts a gun on my head, it is impossible to mobilize our army." Deng Dongping is a smart man, he guessed Sun Yumin's scruples, and probably knew the reason why he wanted to go to the Ninth War Zone alone, if he was to deal with it, there would be no other good way, Deng Dongping did not force his opinion, but said emotionally: "Junzuo, you must take care, if Xue Yue and they dare to do anything to you, the Twelfth Army will definitely wash Changsha City in blood." ”

A military jeep carrying Sun Yumin drove to Changsha City alone, without taking anyone except the driver.

The foggy sky, the empty fields, the jeeps and the occasional flock of birds are like a huge landscape painting lying on the land of northern Hunan Province, and the yellow dust raised by the rear of the car seems to depict other colors in this landscape painting.

Sun Yumin has walked this road many times, but none of them are like now, with a layer of haze in his heart, just like the current weather, which feels so depressing, oppressive and extremely gloomy.

The news that Sun Yumin went to Changsha alone soon spread throughout the entire Twelfth Army, and the grassroots officers and soldiers may not be very clear about the reason for his trip, but the main regiment commanders like Wu Linsheng and Huang Wei would not know the intention of the military seat.

Sun Yumin went to Changsha, and Deng Dongping took over his class, and he often looked out of the house in a daze.

"Deng Donggua, Deng Donggua, you come out for me."

A loud voice like a broken gong came from afar, and Deng Dongping smiled bitterly: "Big trouble is coming, and I won't want to be quiet in the future." ”

"Deng Donggua, did you let the donkey kick your head? How dare you let the boss go to the Nine War Zone alone. With this broken gong voice, Silly Bear appeared in the command center, and with him came Dai Cunxiang, Sun Yumin's partner who specially placed him in.

"yes, I got a donkey kick in the head." Deng Dongping said with a sigh.

"You want someone else to kill the boss, and then you can replace him!" Silly Bear is the most concerned about Sun Yumin among all people, and it doesn't mean that his brothers don't care about Sun Yumin, but there is still some distance from him. In Silly Bear, Sun Yumin's words are holy decrees, as long as Sun Yumin says a word, Silly Bear can give him his life, so as soon as he heard that the boss was in danger alone, he was so anxious that he ran to the military headquarters and was furious at Deng Dongping.

"Li Tiedan, I understand your current mood and don't want to quarrel with you, but please don't spray people with blood." Although Deng Dongping has a good temperament, he can't stand letting people talk about him like this, and he wanted to scold Mai Mangdi back with a needle, but he still suppressed the resentment in his heart and said to the stupid bear: "Don't think that you are the only one in this world who can give your life to the boss, I Deng Dongping can also do it." If I can replace him to go to the Hongmen banquet in the Ninth War Zone, I won't frown! ”

Deng Dongping's sonorous words made the stupid bear speechless, but Dai Cunxiang asked next to him: "When the boss goes to Changsha, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes, he wants us to take charge of the troops in our hands, so that no one can take advantage of it, except for his orders, anyone can disobey, including the order surnamed Jiang." Deng Dongping's voice lowered, he was indeed angry with the stupid bear just now, but his tone was much better when he answered Dai Cunxiang's words.

"Since the boss has left this word, then we must stick to this order." Dai Cunxiang said: "I estimated that the news of the military seat going to Changsha, and the other brothers have also heard about it, they must be on the way here, as long as our divisions and brigades hold each other tightly, those people may not dare to do anything to the boss." ”

"Yes, as long as we are prepared, Xue Yue may not dare to do anything to the military seat!" Dai Cunxiang's words are very much in line with Deng Dongping's mind.

"Wait for the other division and brigade commanders to come over, and then we will make a good total." Deng Dongping followed Dai Cunxiang's words, and while speaking, his eyes looked out of the door again, looking in the direction of Changsha, and the gloomy sky seemed to tell him: The wind and rain are coming!

Before stepping into the gate of the Ninth Theater Headquarters, Sun Yumin felt the strange atmosphere hidden in the air, not only the soldiers were on guard at the gate, but also a lot of open and dark sentinels were added to the courtyard.

can make Xue Yue raise the guard level like this, who else can there be besides that person! Sun Yumin didn't have to think about it carefully, he knew that it should be Lao Jiang who came in person.

Passing on himself, in the name of the Ninth War Zone, not himself, there must be a test of his own meaning, Sun Yumin secretly lucked, fortunately he came, if he followed Deng Dongping's advice and ignored Xue Yue, I am afraid that the Twelfth Army has been surrounded by regiments at this moment.

Under the guidance of a captain officer, Sun Yumin came to the door of Xue Yue's office, unlike the strict guards in the corridor, there was no one in front of Xue Yue's office at the end of the corridor, and the two mahogany doors were also closed.

"Chief Sun, please, you can't go any further." The captain stopped as he walked up to the last guard and said respectfully.

"The commission is in there too, right?" Sun Yumin suddenly asked, since he entered the building, no one has said a word to him, and Lao Jiangren's presence here is just his guess.

"Yes......" The captain replied instinctively, but he stopped after saying only one word, and looked at Sun Yumin with an incredulous face, obviously surprised by his question.

"Go down, when I haven't spoken." Although the captain stopped after just saying a word, Sun Yumin got the answer he wanted.

From the last sentry's side, to the two mahogany gates, it will not be more than twenty meters away, according to Sun Yumin's steps, it doesn't take thirty steps to walk, if it was before, this short thirty steps, he can walk in a few seconds, but now, he must be on this short distance, think about the answer to Lao Jiang's inquiry, although Sun Yumin is calm, but to come up with a way in such a short time and distance, it is also difficult to ascend to the sky, although he is helpless, he has to bite the bullet and walk forward step by step.
