Lou Ling Wuchang Yellow Crane top, control turtle and snake two mountains confrontation, the general of the river and Han rush, the Three Kingdoms Wu Huangwu two years was built, Qing Guangxu ten years of fire burned into ruins. For more than 1,000 years, it has been repeatedly destroyed and built, "to the waste of the building, it can not be remembered." "This is the Yellow Crane Tower recorded in the history books.

Han Xing once stood with rottenness, placed in the ancient meaning of floating clouds, as if the ancients were looking for poetry and the breath of today's human civilization surging people's hearts and lungs, and they didn't know that they were in history and returned to today. Looking back, the afterglow of the sunset, such as gold and pink grease, wipes all the mountains and rivers, sweeping away the sighs of the ancients after chanting poems and words, and the heaven and earth seem to pour into the vicissitudes of the eternal wind and clouds, the mighty rivers and rivers, and leave them for future generations to comment.

I came here from the ancients, whether I first knew the Yellow Crane Tower, only the river slowly going east is clear.

The air formation crossed Wuhan and then flew to the northwest, that is, to Suixian and Zaoyang in Hubei. Fortunately, in these places, because the Japanese air force did not have the ability to fly at night, it did not encounter the Japanese planes. Otherwise, there will be another fierce air battle in the dark.

Han Xing had checked the information of Suixian and Zaoyang as early as before he set out on the expedition.

Suizhou is located in the north of Hubei Province, in the south of the Tongbai Mountains of Hubei Province, close to Tongbai County, Henan Province, and is the birthplace of the Huai River. It is connected to Wuhan in the east, Xiangyang in the west, Xinyang in the north, Jingmen in the south, and lives in "Jingyu to rush", chokes "Hanxiang throat", and is "an important town in northern Hubei Province".

Zaoyang County is in the northwest of Sui County. It is bordered by Wuhan in the east, Xiangyang in the west, Jianghan Plain in the south, and Nanyang in the north. It is the hometown of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The topography of Zaoyang belongs to the hilly and hilly land, the northeast and south part belong to the Tongbai Mountain, the remaining veins of Dahong Mountain, the hills are undulating, the terrain is inclined from the northeast to the southwest, and the Jade Emperor Peak in the northeast is the highest point in the territory.

China has always been divided into the south and the north by the Yangtze River, the more delicate and beautiful the south is, the more rough and atmospheric the north is.

In a vacant lot in Suixian, a circle of fires was lit with firewood, which was hundreds of meters, and it was immediately recognizable from the sky.

This is the airborne identification mark specially lit by Li Zongren of the Fifth War Zone in order to welcome the arrival of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

At this time, the occupation area of China and Japan is quite interesting, whether the Japanese army occupied most of the cities and areas with developed transportation in the east, while the Chinese army still occupied some remote areas and areas with underdeveloped transportation.

Especially in Central China, Japan occupies the first line of Wuhan, Jiujiang, and Nanchang, and seems to have advanced into the hinterland of China. From another point of view, it is surrounded by millions of Chinese troops. To the south is the ninth and third theaters of the Chinese army, and to the west is Li Zongren's fifth theater, especially the fifth theater of operations from the east and west to press both sides of the southern section of the Pinghan Road, so that Okamura Ningji, an old boy, is very uncomfortable.

Xu Da said to Han Xing: "Commander Han, you have arrived at the landing point of Wangjiazhuang in the northwest of Suixian. Requesting a landing? ”

"Then let's go down, it's not okay if you don't go down!"

The helicopter formation began to circle in the air, and then slowly one by one it lowered in altitude and descended.

Han Xing's mind was slowly recalling Li Zongren's information.

Li Zongren, born on August 13, 1891, is a German neighbor. He is a native of Lingui District, Guilin, Guangxi. He was a first-class general of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, the leader of the "Gui faction" in the Chinese Kuomintang, and the first vice president and acting president of the Republic of China.

In April 1936, Li Zongren published an article entitled "My Proposal -- Scorched Earth War of Resistance", expounding from the four aspects of politics, economy, military and diplomacy that once a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan, the final victor would be China, and called on the military and people of the whole country to turn the whole country into scorched earth and reply to the aggressors with bold measures.

In July 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. Li Zongren served as commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations. From January to June 1938, Li Zongren commanded the National Revolutionary Army to resist the Japanese army, and in the Battle of Taierzhuang, Li Zongren personally went to the front line to supervise and command, and won the first major victory in the National Army's War of Resistance Against Japan.

In the great breakthrough of Xuzhou, Li Zongren successfully commanded 600,000 troops to break through, and the national army did not appear in the chaotic scene of the retreat of the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.

At this time, Li Zongren has to personally command the battle of Suizao, what will be the result. Han Xing, along with the entire Chinese people, is waiting and seeing.

The strong underlights of the 12 Z-8 helicopters illuminated the airborne ground as bright as day, and a large group of soldiers had long been waiting around the airborne ground.

The first helicopter slowly fell, and the huge wind blew the ground into a mess, and the leaves, the scraps of garbage on the ground, the ashes after burning, and the branches that were not burned, were all swept into the sky.

The propeller slowly stopped turning, and the tossed debris around it settled down for a while. However, immediately after that, the second helicopter began to land again, causing a moment of chaos and fluttering of debris.

In the low sky, two J-20 fighters were hovering and escorting at low altitude, and it was turning round and round, flying steadily.

Han Xing slowly stepped off the helicopter, followed by Zhang Xiaosan, Wu Xiaoming, and Li Dazhong, all of them fully armed, vigorous, full of spirit, and majestic.

Li Zongren led a large group of officials to meet him quickly, and when he saw the young people in front of him, he couldn't help but recognize which one was the commander, and shouted: "Which one is Commander Han?" ”

Han Xing took two steps closer, stood out from the ranks, walked in front of Li Zongren in a few steps, gave a military salute and said, "Report to Commander Li, the Southern Expeditionary Army is ordered by Xue Yue of the Ninth War Zone to report to you." ”

When Han Xing reported to his home, he deliberately only said that he was ordered by Xue Yue of the Ninth War Zone, and did not say that there was also an order from the Zhuxian Column. Of course, this also gave Xue Yue a face, so that Xue Yue would have a capital when he bargained with Li Zongren in the future. At the same time, it also sought a way out for the Southern Expeditionary Army to join the Ninth War Zone in the future.

Because there was no tape recorder at that time, if it was recorded, it would be reported to the family by relying on Han Xing, and then it would be impossible to eat and go around!

Han Xing also thought about it, the general principle cannot be changed, but in terms of specific matters, should it be flexible?

By saluting, Han Xing carefully looked at this famous Li Zongren.

Li Zongren is very short, that is, more than 1.6 meters, and there is absolutely no 1.7 meters. The emaciated face has the typical characteristics of southerners, that is, high cheekbones, and when he speaks, he shows two rows of yellow teeth, as if he is about to bite someone.

The unique temperament of a celebrity, which can't be changed, don't look small, but his two eyes are very bright, and it can also be said that they are beyond the brightness of ordinary people, shining.

is still the same sentence, people can't look good, the sea can't fight, and the short one may be a boutique! What kind of extraordinary wisdom will be contained in the body and brain of this little southerner!

The first thing Li Zongren said was: "I was not shocked by the battle of Xuzhou, and I was not shocked by the breakthrough of 600,000 national troops, but now I am shocked when I see your plane." I can't complain that you are invincible and invincible, it turns out that the Southern Expeditionary Army is such equipment. ”

Han Xing didn't speak, finished saluting, and held Li Zongren's hand tightly.

Li Zongren's second sentence was: "I have seen so many young officers, but I have never been as young as you. You're in your early twenties, right? ”

Han Xing replied truthfully (of course, this is the age of Han Xing of the stand-in, and the real Han Xing cannot be said): "You are 23 years old this year, and you are my elder." ”

Li Zongren shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, so I don't believe in it. Today, I really believe. How old was Zhou Lang back then, he commanded the Battle of Chibi, that is, he was 33 years old, and you were 10 years younger than Zhou Yu. Compared to you, I'm so old, old! ”

Han Xing knew that this Li Zongren was just some compliments, and his words must not be taken seriously. I had to say: "You are not old, you are definitely not old, how old is Jiang Ziya, he only came out of the mountain in his sixties, and he still led the troops to fight in his eighties." is still the same sentence, there is no ambition in the old and young, and there is no ambition to live a hundred years old. ”

Li Zongren laughed, shook Han Xing's hand and said, "I said that you, Commander Han, are really good at talking." This Xue Yue is also quite interesting, obviously he is a person from the Zhuxian Column, and he is obviously from Yan'an, but he said that he was sent by the Ninth War Zone, which is quite funny. Is he trying to make a deal with me? ”

Li Zongren, an old fox, can't hide anything from him, it seems that he has already figured this matter through. But these words came out of his mouth, not from Han Xing's mouth, so Han Xing had no choice but to be surprised.

After the greetings, Han Xing talked to him about business. Han Xing said: "Regarding the problems of our base and the ammunition, food, and fuel we need, we still ask Commander Li to plan as early as possible." ”

Li Zongren said with a smile: "The base has already been prepared for you, and it is not far from our headquarters, so it is good to have a response." This place can be lived if you want, and it is convenient to land in the air. As for the ammunition, food, and fuel problems, I have already explained them to the General Staff, and you can just send someone to contact them. ”

Han Xing nodded and said, "Thank you, Commander Li, I think we can live here!" Airborne is convenient. There is also a general operational policy of the Southern Expeditionary Army, so I can report to Commander Li. ”

"Then, just say it!" Li Zongren's eyes were staring closely at Han Xing's eyes. At this time, his eyes were wolf-like, with a kind of alertness and sharpness that explored the depths of his heart.

Han Xing avoided this kind of look from him as much as possible, and said: "The operational principle of our Southern Expeditionary Army is generally to be flexible and mobile, and not to fight too big a war of attrition with devils, I hope Commander Li can support our operational principle." ”

Li Zongren laughed again and said, "I said Commander Han, do you want to disobey my command?" ”

Han Xing hurriedly added, "No, Commander Li. The characteristics of our Southern Expeditionary Army are all mechanized troops, that is to say, in the battles you are fighting, we mainly provide fire support. Don't worry, our Southern Expeditionary Army has come here, just to fight devils, and we must not embarrass people in the Fifth War Zone. But if we have to tie us to positional warfare and fight for attrition, our mechanized troops cannot afford to fight. Please ask Commander Li to inform us of the military situation in a timely manner, and we will certainly provide great assistance. ”

Li Zongren finally understood Han Xing's combat policy, and said coldly with an expressionless face: "Okay, then let's try it!" I believe that the Southern Expeditionary Army will not disappoint us. ”
