readx; "Is it, Hengyang is lost?"

Gao Fei put down the telegram in his hand and asked lightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that the chief of staff nodded, Goofy didn't say anything. The loss of Hengyang was actually in Gao Fei's prediction, and it did not have much impact on the final victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but now what Gao Fei is thinking about is that the Anti-Japanese War is about to be won, where will he go?

China, after so many years of war, has long been riddled with holes and devastation, and what it needs most is peace, rebuilding and burying its head in the land full of ruins.

This is the responsibility that I must fulfill when I am from another era and stand in this position.

The corners of Gao Fei's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time

On the morning of August 8, except for the sporadic gunfire at the positions of Tianma Mountain and Yueping Mountain, most of the resistance of the defenders of Hengyang gradually stopped. The officers and men of the 10th who laid down their arms were driven by the devils to Hengyang West Bus Station to concentrate. It is said that at this time, planes of the Sino-US Joint Air Force also appeared in the sky over Hengyang. The pilots silently looked down at their comrades-in-arms who were driven away by the army, hovering in the air anxiously and helplessly, and couldn't bear to leave for a long time.

Some fighters persisted in fighting to the last breath; Some were brutally killed by the Japanese army because they did not want to become prisoners of war and hid in the corner and refused to come out, or risked their lives to escape; Some committed suicide with knives, or committed suicide by drinking bullets, or detonated grenades and died with the army. Shimaguan Dazuo, who served as the senior staff officer of the No. 1 operation at the base camp of the Yue Army, wrote in the diary: "On August 8, Hengyang was conquered at 8 o'clock in the morning. Although the time was ripe for more than 40 days of attack, it was only one day late for an all-out battle, and the enemy's mechanized corps appeared, and our troops were somewhat shaken in the face of the emperor who had relieved the siege, and the victory or defeat of the war lay in the last five minutes. If the enemy who sticks to Hengyang swears to fight to the death, there may be an ending of 'Imphal'. ”

Chiang Kai-shek got up at 4 a.m. on August 8 and prayed silently, hoping that the 10th Army would turn the corner. At about 10 o'clock, the Aviation Committee forwarded a reconnaissance report from the Hengyang front-line air force: "There is no trace of people in Hengyang City." Later, Chiang Kai-shek recorded his feelings at this moment in his chronicles: "The reality of grief has never been greater. ”

With the spread of the armistice order of Fang Xianjue and other top generals, the Hengyang defenders who resisted scattered everywhere finally put down their guns one by one, and afterwards the army found that not only did the gun lose a complete good gun, but all the weapons handed in were all firearms such as the 38 big cover. For a long time, the division commander did not know the whereabouts of the regiment commander, the regiment commander did not know where the battalion commander was, the battalion commander, the company commander, and the platoon commander did not know where the deployment was.

At this moment in Hengyang, it is said that the wounded soldiers on both sides are everywhere, and the entire Hengyang has long been rubble, which is nothing less than medical supplies, and even the problem of food and accommodation is difficult to solve. After the situation stabilized a little, Yokoyama realized that it was so difficult to comply with Fang Xianjue's several conditions.

"In order to solve the current predicament, you can allow the Hengyang troops to move freely under limited conditions, and sign the difficulties of the empire, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation, including medical treatment, must be solved by themselves!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Hengyang army is naturally worthy of respect, but it is impossible for us to treat the Chinese soldiers who were injured in the battle against the imperial army without even ensuring the medical treatment of the imperial soldiers!" The Yue army quickly broke his promise, and at this moment, Fang Xianjue and several division commanders were already powerless, they understood very well the meaning of the prisoners under the ranks, and they even understood that it was very rare for the Yue army not to massacre the surrendered Chinese defenders like the Nanjing Massacre. It is said that Commander Fang thought that his subordinates were being abused, and once wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by his own soldiers in time.

On the streets of Hengyang, Company Commander Zhou and Zhou Kang were wearing their heads, like begging for food.

On the streets, scarred Chinese soldiers, as if they had lost their souls, stared blankly ahead, and when they saw something moving passing by, they couldn't stop chanting: "Okay, okay, for the sake of the brothers, give me a bullet" Brother, give me a shot, give me a shot!" "A soldier with a broken leg was lying on the ground, his wound had festered, and the flies were gathering and scattering, and the stench of the injured part was coming from the hot weather.

Qiangzi took out a steamed bun from his body and handed it to the wounded soldier's mouth: "Don't cry, eat, eat something!" ”

"Give me, give me" A group of people rushed out next to him, and soon threw down the steamed buns of the strong son, scrambling for the steamed buns like dogs.

"Don't rob, don't rob, it's just a steamed bun!" Qiangzi sobbed and sobbed, this steamed bun he finally earned from working from the devil, it was his day's wages, and he was ruined by these people.

"Doll, don't be sad, they are different from us, either they have no hands or no feet, we can earn some food from the devils, they can't earn anything!" Company Commander Zhou comforted Qiangzi.

"But, I don't want to live like this!" Hadron was stimulated: "Why surrender, why surrender, forget about the death in the first place!" ”

"Give me a shot, give me a shot!" The wounded soldier was still reading it.

The almost madness of the strong son and the chatter of the wounded soldier angered Company Commander Zhou: "Don't read it, don't read it either, where is the gun, Lao Tzu can't get a gun if he wants it!" Company Commander Zhou cried: "It wasn't for you, it wasn't for you wounded soldiers, and Lao Tzu won't do this surrender anymore, woo-"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The same disheveled army ran through the streets.

"Is there anyone who can work? The imperial army said, two steamed buns for one meal! "A Chinese man who looks like a Han annihilation faces the wounded soldiers on the street.

"I can, I can!" At first, there were two timid voices, and then many people answered.

"Go, go, don't break your hands and feet!" Han Jian looked at these wounded soldiers with disdain: "You are cheap, you didn't want to fight with the imperial army at the beginning, but now it's okay, you still want to deceive the imperial army's steamed buns with broken hands and feet, haha, hahaha!" ”

"Who wants your steamed buns, Lao Tzu will starve to death and won't eat your dog's steamed buns!" A wounded soldier lying on the ground spat on it.

"Who are you, you dare to scold Taijun!" Han Jian was extremely angry.

"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, the commander of the 570th Regiment of the 190th Division is Lao Tzu!"

"Oh, it turned out to be a regimental commander, even your military commander has surrendered, you are angry!" Han Jun kicked him with disdain.

"No hitting!" Several wounded soldiers next to him saw Han Jian kicking on Captain He's belly, and his cracked and infected belly was deformed due to the pain, and they were all protected by Captain He's side.

"What's wrong with beating him, the imperial army hasn't settled accounts with him yet, how many imperial soldiers has he killed these days!" Han Jian's mouth was foaming, and he was talking happily, when he "snapped" and received a heavy slap in the face.

"Yaga! Hengyang Army is a good friend of the Imperial Army, Hengyang Army is a big hero, the Imperial Army and Hengyang Army do not know each other, you understand! A Shao Zuo stood in front of Han Jian angrily and saluted to Captain He: "Commander He, I'm sorry!" ”

Regiment Commander He snorted coldly: "I haven't participated in the Battle of Hengyang!" ”

"I'm sorry, Commander He, I participated in all the battles of Hengyang on the 47th from beginning to end!"

"Oh, yes, your life is great!"

"Yes, what you said is very right, before the battle, I was just a soldier of the 68th Division, our second wing from the wing commander down, the captain, the squadron leader, and the squad leader were all killed, the imperial army was almost killed and wounded under the blow of your army, and all the remaining veterans were promoted to officers."

"Very good, if they don't die, how can you be promoted to Shaozuo, hahaha!" Captain He laughed.

"Yaga, it's not good!" Shao Zuo looked like he wanted to be angry, but then he changed his tone: "The greater the casualties of the imperial army, the more it shows the tenacity of your army, I sincerely admire it!" ”

"Hey, you guys, don't run, stand this way!"

As soon as Qiangzi and Company Commander Zhou walked here, they were discovered by Han Jian.

"What for!" Lian Chang Zhou didn't look at the other party.

"Finally found a few people with hands and feet, and asked, go to work, if you want to starve to death on the street like these wastes, you will leave, otherwise you will hurry up and follow!"

"Don't go, Lao Tzu just did it!" Qiangzi was not angry: "Is it Chinese, look at the surname Nade." ”

"If you don't go, you won't go!" Han Jian muttered a few words to a few soldiers, and the soldiers immediately surrounded him, and without saying a word, the butt of the gun smashed at several people: "Baga, my conscience is greatly broken." ”

Zhou Company Commander was caught in a ruin to build a house, and several Qiangzi were pulled to the suburbs to clean up the battlefield, fought for more than a month of battles, so that Hengyang's city and outside the city were full of broken guns and rotten corpses, that scene said how chaotic and chaotic, in order to prevent the army from escaping, the army also built a radius of several kilometers of barbed wire, such as a huge iron cage, the city full of wounded soldiers and yellow-faced soldiers with thin muscles to be confined around Hengyang City.

"The remnants of the 10th Army, who fought hard to defend this lonely city, lasted for 48 days, which is a rare miracle in the world, and the expression and development of our inherent Chinese morality is also the most significant."

At this moment in Yucheng, after learning that Hengyang had fallen on 8 August, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek personally wrote a telegram ordering the entire [***] team to gather all officers and soldiers in each army at 6 a.m. on 20 August to observe a three-minute silence for the defenders of Hengyang, and at the same time publish the "Eulogy for the Loss of Hengyang" written by Jiang Zhongzheng himself.

"The enemy invaded Hengyang, which lasted 47 days, and the fierceness of the battle was unprecedented since the Anti-Japanese War. Our officers and men resisted strongly, outnumbered, and fought bloodily under the enemy's combined onslaught, artillery and air attack and poison gas, and fought with great courage and perseverance, repeatedly defeating the fierce front. The Kou army dispatched elites and reinforced them five times, all of which were painfully wounded by our defenders; And the 10th Army, which I was ordered to defend the city, fought to the death, fighting for every inch of land, and suffered all casualties.

On 8 August, Yin engraved a telegram from Commander Fang, saying: "On 7 August, the enemy broke into the northern city, and street battles were launched in the city. Our officers and men suffered all the casualties, and there were no more troops to stop the attack. The rank swears to repay with a death*, to complete the duty of a soldier, and never fail to live up to the grace of Junzuo's lifelong cultivation. This electricity is probably the last one, see you in the next life! Such words, reading the electricity solemnly, deeply grieved, its generosity and righteousness, as if death were home, can be described as heroic!

Although the current commander himself is uncertain about his life and death, his unyielding will in life and death is really believed by the compatriots across the country. All the officers and men of our 10th Army not only gave full play to the spirit of our revolutionary army in this campaign, but also practiced the precept of fighting to the last soldier and the last bullet, and deserved to be the believers of our prime minister's three * righteousness, and the model of martyrdom for the country with revolutionary soldiers, which is full of the glory of our nation and the glory of our nation for eternity.

At 6 o'clock in the morning of 20 August, all the officers and soldiers of the [***] team gathered in the military to observe a three-minute silence for the defenders of Hengyang.

The officers and men of our country should know the duty of soldiers, never hesitate to sacrifice, live and die with the position, and if they succeed, they will defeat the enemy and win the victory, and the honor will go down in history; Chengren is majestic mountains and rivers, and the light is the moon. We must work hard to take the heroic sacrifice of the 10th Army in Hengyang as a model, share the determination to die, encourage the spirit of struggle, share the same hatred of the enemy, avenge the dead compatriots, and shame for the country and the nation.

A telegram is hereby sent to reprimand and recite the full text of this telegram and follow it as one, so as to copy the high hopes of the chairman and the compatriots of the whole country. ”

Hengyang Catholic Church, Fang Xianjue and other high-ranking generals were imprisoned here.

"Throne! Let's have some soup! Pingzi carefully took a bowl of soup and handed it to the bed, at this moment, Fang Xianjue was dying, and the combination of shame and anger and dozens of days of torture had made the tall man in the past languishing.

"No need, take it right, what kind of soup, where did it come from?"

"Junzuo, it's chicken soup, you don't know, I have always taken care of you, and your food standard is said to be the same as their division commander!" There was a desolation in Hirako's forced smile.

"If you don't drink it, you won't have to bring me my food in the future!"

"Is there anyone else in this place besides my own? You don't have to torture yourself! Pingzi whimpered: "I knew that I should have said, why bother at the beginning, you should have sacrificed, and today you don't have to bear the infamy of Han Annihilation, why bother to torture yourself now, look at you like this now!" ”

"I know I'm not even worthy of being a man now, and I really don't want to live anymore, child, you're still young, you have to leave by yourself, remember, never say that you have been in Hengyang, I'd rather beg for food for a lifetime than say that I have stayed in Hengyang!"

"Junzuo, this history of Hengyang cannot be erased, I know what you mean, but we still have to face it, we have to do something, can we really solve a thousand sorrows with death!" Pingzi choked up: "Not everyone can easily beg for a lifetime, just like you, just like me, since we have experienced this time, it is impossible to forget, impossible!" ”

There was a sound of footsteps outside.

"Throne, that- they're coming to see you again!"

Fang Xianjue nodded: "Help me up!" ”

While talking, Isamu Yokoyama, Lieutenant General Mitsuki, commander of the 68th Division, and Iwanagawang, commander of the 116th Division, appeared at the door.

"Mr. Fang, we are about to leave Hengyang, I will introduce you to someone before leaving!"

After Yokoyama finished speaking, an obscene and trivial person appeared in the room, and kept bowing to Fang Xianjue.

"Commander Fang, your name has long been heard, even the imperial army, and everyone praises you as a fierce general!"

"Who are you, and what do you do?" Fang Xianjue pulled his hoarse voice.

"Contemptible Yoshimaru, do things under Chairman Wang of your country" A smile appeared on the face of the person who came.

"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well!" Fang Xianjue turned to Yokoyama Yong and the others: "Can I take a break!" ”

"Yes, yes, but Mr. Yoshimaru is the advisor of the Great Empire in the political axe of your country, Chairman Wang, and Mr. Wang has always been very concerned."

"No need to say it, I know what you mean, tell you the truth, I was ordered to guard Hengyang, the city is broken and not dead, ashamed of the country, I hope to die of illness in Hengyang, to atone for my sins, if I force me to leave, I would rather be killed!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and was silent, and Yokoyama Yong looked a little embarrassed.

"Disturb it!" Yokoyama retreated reluctantly.

"Junza, there are some things I want to say to you, but I don't dare!" As soon as Yoshimaru and his party left, Hirako swallowed.

"Say, what else can't be said at this time!"

"In the past few days when you are sick, what are the devils organizing to fight the army, those who are willing to participate, those who are sick will be treated, and those who are not sick will have food and drink, otherwise they will be allowed to live on the streets, and they are not allowed to go outside Hengyang, and many brothers who have not joined in will starve to death and die of illness like this."

"I finally don't talk much about credit, this is what I, as a military commander, owe these brothers, and I feel that I only owe one death in Hengyang, but I have suffered these brothers!"

"Military seat, these, these are really nothing" Pingzi hesitated for a long time: "Some of your company commanders, battalion commanders and even regiment commanders, can't bear this hardship, can't stand this temptation, they participated in the devil's Xianhe army, and they all came to persuade you to continue to serve as their commander, and I kept them out during your illness"

"Is there such a thing, is there such a thing?" Fang Xianjue's face was confused.

"Really a military seat! Like Yoshimaru, they all want you to be that Han Jian! ”

"That Han Jian, that Han Jian!" Fang Xianjue muttered Pingzi's words, and a tear welled up.

"These planes often hovering around, and they say that they are planes from Yucheng, and they have been trying to save you!" Pingzi intentionally or unintentionally revealed the news he had learned to Fang Xianjue: "You haven't seen the sun for so long, don't you go for a walk outside?" ”

"Don't go!" Fang Xianjue's condition was slightly better, but he still looked weak: "Save me, what's the point of saving me, what else can I do if I live!" ”

"You can continue to fight devils when you go out!" Pingzi lowered his voice: "You are different from some people, you are not surrendering, but they are really surrendering!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Throne, can you open the door?"

Fang Xianjue nodded.

A person in military uniform entered the inner room, the clothes were relatively clean, but Fang Xianjue always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell how he felt this way.

"You are"

"Hello Junzao, I am the staff officer of the military department major, surnamed Guo, you have no impression of me?"

"Oh, I remember, there is such a person, what, something?" Before the other party could speak, Fang Xianjue suddenly felt that something was wrong: "How can you freely enter and leave my room, and also, your clothes?"

The other party's face turned red: "Junzao, I am entrusted by the Imperial Army, please continue to serve as our commander, your subordinates and brothers are looking forward to it, praying for the revival of the Tenth Army under your command"

"Get out, get me out!" Fang Xianjue couldn't listen to the words anymore: "Get out, get out!" ”

Fang Xianjue's condition seemed to have deteriorated again, he collapsed on the bed, and sobbed: "How is this, how can this be, is this my soldier!" ”

"Junzao, you have to accept the reality, those subordinates of yours, the subordinates who could shed blood and sacrifice for Hengyang, have already betrayed the Tenth Army, betrayed you, betrayed the country" Pingzi's words finally poured out like a flood that burst the embankment, and the changes in this period of life made him, a big boy who only knew how to beg for food and survive, also matured rapidly.

"Am I wrong, am I really wrong!" Fang Xianjue was like a dream, and his head slammed against the wall, and the wall was suddenly stained with blood: "Why, why is this happening!" ”

Since then, almost every time there has been a so-called knock on the door of the old department to "reminisce about the old", Fang Xianjue refused.

A group of blue-clad men crawled in the swamps on the outskirts of Hengyang, but were blocked by a huge barbed wire fence on the shore.

The men were stubble-bearded, all black and thin, and looked so weak: "I'm going to knock it down, as long as it passes through here, we'll be free!" "The person who spoke was young, but he looked unusually old.

"Doll, don't go, the slightest carelessness will alarm the devil, and our previous efforts will be in vain!"

"Company commander, who can go if I don't go, except for me, which of you has a good body!" He sobbed.

This group of people is Company Commander Zhou and Qiangzi Zhou Kang, and one is dragged by straw mats, but it is Regiment Commander He of the 570th Regiment of the 190th Division.

It turned out that at this moment, the devil encouraged the remnants of the Tenth Army to join the so-called Xianhe Army (puppet army), and those who were unmoved, the healthy ones were forced to serve super labor, and the injured were left to fend for themselves.

It was also Commander He who had a stubborn temper, lying on the street and dying, and was brought over by Company Commander Zhou, and many of the people of Company Commander Zhou were already physically and mentally emaciated under the heavy labor, and there was no complete place.

"We people, even if we escape from Hengyang, we won't be able to live for a few days!" Lian Chang Zhou sighed: "Otherwise, let's stay in Hengyang for a few days." ”

"No, I don't want to stay in Hengyang for a day!" Qiangzi's tone was resolute: "I want to go back, I want to wash away the shame of today!" ”

"How easy it is to wash away the shame!" Company Commander Zhou smiled bitterly: "We are all ironclad Han annihilation, we are all surrendered to the army, what are we talking about to wash away the shame, don't you laugh people off their big teeth!" ”

"The most hateful thing is our army commanders and division commanders, what do you say for the sake of the brothers in the city, the wounded soldiers in the city, and now they have all surrendered to the enemy and become the Xianhe army, I see how their high-sounding words can be exported!"

"Woo woo, but I surrendered the devil the same, I don't want this, I don't want this!"

There was a "plop" sound, and the sound of water was heard.

"Who?" Company Commander Zhou was so nervous that he didn't dare to come out.

"Don't don't, boss, it's me!" A countryman rowed a boat not far away.

"There's a boat!" Hirako exclaimed in surprise.

"Fellow, come here, we have something to ask you for!" Company Commander Zhou was also overjoyed.

"There's barbed wire here, you can't get by!" The countryman didn't seem to be surprised at all: "Did you fight in Hengyang?" ”

"No, yes, yes!" Company Commander Zhou didn't want the other party to know that he was the former Hengyang defender, but when he heard the tone, he didn't seem to have a bad impression of the Hengyang defender: "We are the defenders of Hengyang, we are fleeing for our lives!" ”

"Okay, you guys find a way to climb over the barbed wire, don't alarm the devils, or I'll be leaving!" The countryman threw a bag of things from the boat, held it heavily in his hand, and took it out to see that it turned out to be a pair of pliers, as if he had come prepared.

Pingzi was a little happy, but he didn't expect that such a rustic countryman would bring them hope for life, and suddenly they came to the strength one by one, and with a vice, it didn't take much effort to cut the barbed wire, and a few people ran to the river.

"The boat is small, it can't fit a few people, can he still live!" The countryman pointed at the dying head of the regiment with a bamboo pole.

"Live, live!" Company Commander Zhou responded several times hesitantly.

"You seem to know we're finding a way, and you've even brought this!" Hadron couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

"There are more than a few of you in the Hengyang Army!" The countryman said lightly: "Since the end of the battle in Hengyang, we have rescued [***] in the city, although the national political axe has a reward, but we Hengyang people don't want this!" ”

"What about you"

"During that time, we kept seeing the devils transporting truckloads of corpses, so we knew how you fought in Hengyang, and we ordinary people knew that you were suffering, although we couldn't help you fight, but we always wanted to help you!"

"You're such a good citizen!"

"Don't say that, everyone in Hengyang knows about this, and everyone in Hengyang is grateful to you, as long as we come to the outskirts of the city now, everyone is ready to answer you at any time, and we know that you are still inside"

The words of the redneck brought tears to everyone's eyes.

"Fellow, we don't deserve your hospitality, we surrendered later, we didn't stick to the end, we didn't die in Hengyang!" Company Commander Zhou suddenly got up on the bow of the ship.

"Don't say that, don't say that!" The corners of the villager's eyes also overflowed with tears: "We have heard about you, it's not that you are bad, you have done your best, you are all heroes in the eyes of the people of Hengyang from the commander of the army to the bottom!" ”

"We heard that when Commander Fang said that he was evacuating the people of Hengyang, he didn't think about living by himself, he planned to turn Hengyang into a hell for the army, into a dead city, so he didn't want the people to suffer too, you said that he was afraid of death, who would believe it, you said that he surrendered, he was Han Annihilation, and we people don't believe it when they die!"

The words of an ordinary countryman who said so many words full of emotion shocked Company Commander Zhou.

"I thought no one would know the truth about us in Hengyang, and I thought that no one could understand our humiliation" Company Commander Zhou smiled bitterly: "We still underestimate our compatriots!" ”

In the Catholic Church, another row of planes jumped at low altitude, Hengyang sounded the alarm, and the tense military police teams were sent to various places where important people were being held. More than three months later, Fang Xianjue finally succeeded in escaping from the sphere of influence of the Yue Army with the help of Wang Weineng, the puppet self-defense commander of Hengyang County (formerly the county magistrate of Hengyang County), the puppet maintenance association, the Fuxing Association and others, and the troops sent by the 19th Division of the 73rd Army successfully arrived in Yucheng, and other generals also escaped safely.

"Hey, here, here—" Ge Xiancai, the commander of the Tenth Division, and Sun Mingyu gestured in the air.

"Hey, since the military seat is also imprisoned here, why have you never seen it?" Ge Xiancai asked Sun Mingyu worriedly.

"I heard that Junza has been sick, and I don't know if he's better!" Sun Mingyu sighed: "I hope he can turn evil into good fortune!" ”

"It's okay to be sick, save it annoying, if the military seat knows the virtue of those rabbit cubs, he won't be angry!" Ge Xiancai smiled bitterly: "Brother Mingyu, have those people persuaded you?" ”

"You're talking about the people who participated in the Pioneer Army!" Sun Mingyu smiled bitterly: "Can they let me go, it's just that I have been pretending to be deaf and dumb, but I hate some guys who call me brothers, they have come over in the battle of Hengyang, and they seem to have changed a person all of a sudden, how disgusting and disgusting!" ”

"Seriously, as long as he is from the Tenth Army, no matter which one he is, he really becomes his lackey, and Lao Tzu will never spare him!" Ge Xiancai was just like when he was the division commander, and his face showed a sense of majesty: "When Junzuo and a few of us did not hesitate to bear the infamy of the ages to save their own compatriots and their own brothers, if someone does something worse than a pig and a dog today, if people do not destroy the sky, they will be destroyed, and they will definitely not die well!" ”

"If you can't die well, you must not die well, hahahaha!" Sun Mingyu echoed, and the two former [***] senior generals could be happy to vent in this way at this moment.

In the corner on one side, Zhou Qingxiang and Rao Shaowei, the commanders of the Third Division, preferred to be silent and rarely said a word.

Fang Xianjue woke up in a nightmare.

"Imp, Imp"

"Throne, Throne, what's wrong with you?" Pingzi rushed over when he heard the news.

"What happened to you?"

"It's okay, I had a dream?"

"Dreaming?"

"Yes, I dreamed that I was back in my hometown, I saw my father, my family and children"

"Isn't that right, I don't think I can dream of it!" A smile appeared on Hirako's face.

"What's good, a defeated general, a general, a scum, and what face to face his family and parents and children" Fang Xianjue's face showed a desolation.

"What's going on all around here, how did it change color?"

"Junzao, you don't know, you hit the wall last time you hit the blood, the devils have strengthened their precautions, they are afraid that you will commit suicide, and the wall has added soft mats."

"Isn't this the end of my life!" Fang Xianjue sighed for a while, it turned out that he really had the idea of hitting the wall to commit suicide.

"Junza, don't be like this, aren't you involuntarily, who knows you doesn't know, you are not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Okay, don't say that, don't talk about that!" Fang Xianjue clenched his fists and slapped himself twice: "It's okay, I'm fine, I'm not fine!" ”

"Are you really okay?" Hirako leaned closer and lowered her voice: "If you're going to be really good, I want to say something to you!" ”

Pingzi whispered in Fang Xianjue's ear.

Fang Xianjue was overjoyed at first, and then lowered his head again:

"Is there such a thing? Do you know that you are your own person, can you succeed? ”

"They say that if you don't believe it, they'll meet you straight and they'll make you believe it!"

"It's okay, they haven't forgotten me, but I'm really ashamed, ashamed!"

"Little ghost, thanks to you for taking care of me, if it weren't for you, I don't know if I would have survived!" Fang Xianjue muttered to himself: "It's just, can I really be myself!" ”

"Junzao, I am your guard, you say that those will be outside, I am just a useless beggar baby, I am afraid when I see myself, and only with you can I slowly know what is called human beings and what dignity is!"

"But I'm afraid that even I have forgotten what dignity is, and maybe he will never come back!" Fang Xianjue smiled bitterly: "You are a good boy, it was I, the military commander, who didn't take you well, so that you fell into the catastrophe of Hengyang together, maybe begging for food for a lifetime is better than carrying this kind of humiliation for a lifetime!" ”

Two months later.

A group of high-ranking generals of the army came with great interest.

"Fang Jun, is Fang Jun better!"

Fang Xianjue got up, and was overjoyed this time, it turned out that the old father didn't know when he came over.

"Father!" Fang Xianjue greeted him, although he was happy, he always felt that something was wrong: "Why did you come here!" ”

"Come and see if you can't do it!" My father is an honest countryman in the countryside of Anhui, and in their eyes, it is better for the family to be able to eat and live peacefully than anything else.

"I said that I received it myself, and I said that I am very good to our family, and I heard that they want you to be the commander of the army! Son! You are already worthy of your conscience in this battle in Hengyang, the rumors outside, you are desperate, what are you trying to do? Let's do it with the devil, follow Chiang Kai-shek and be the commander, and follow the man himself is also the commander. ”

Father's words made Fang Xianjue very painful: "Father, you don't understand, there are some things you don't understand, go back, go back!" Without saying a word, he pushed his father out.

"What are you doing, Fang Jun, are you doing this?" He wanted to stop it, but Fang Xianjue was extremely resolute, and they could only watch as Fang Xianjue pushed his father out ruthlessly.

"Let's go, let's go, my son is not filial, you don't care about my affairs in the future, you don't understand!"

Fang Xianjue waved his hand at his father, who was not even sitting on his ass.

The Yue army has been continuing to move south, continuing their so-called "Operation No. 1" to impress the north and south of China, and the Yue army in Hengyang is becoming less and less.

Chinese prisoners of war have also gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Often, 10 officers and men took advantage of the army's inattention to flee and joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the four townships on the outskirts of Hengyang, and even turned back to help the officers and soldiers in the city escape.

The senior generals of the captured 10th Army also had occasional opportunities to meet. Zhou Qingxiang, commander of the 3rd Division, and Sun Mingyu, chief of staff of the army, lived in a building in the Catholic Church in Oujiacho, and took advantage of the convenience of the upstairs and downstairs to make an escape plan while walking and drinking tea. When the guards went out to look for food, they quietly helped them buy several sets of people's clothes

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Zhou Qingxiang and Sun Mingyu with four guards quietly took off the window sash that had broken the glass and loosened the hinge nails, and several people jumped out of the window, and the two generals and their entourage then went to Loudi, turned to Xinhua, and then went to Zhijiang, and finally escaped the clutches of the army, and were fortunate to become the first to return to the rear of the 10th army.

Soon after, Rao Shaowei, commander of the provisional 54th Division, Ge Xiancai, commander of the 10th Reserve Division, Rong Youluo, commander of the 190th Division, Cai Rulin, commander of the theater and commander of the artillery, and other generals of the Hengyang garrison escaped from the tiger's den and returned to Yucheng.

There are constantly planes with national axes flying to Hengyang intensively, surrounding the place where Fang Xianjue was imprisoned, hovering at low altitude like moths to a fire, although several planes were shot down by the army, it was still like this, several times, the people in the house could even see the pilot saluting Fang Xianjue in the room.

Fang Xianjue's body was improving, and he was able to sit on the ground and write, and at dusk, there was another sound of a motor in the air, and the alarm in Hengyang City began to whine.

"They're coming to see you again!" Pingzi reminded Fang Xianjue.

"Just go around, I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave!" Fang Xianjue had regained his former majesty and composure.

"I heard that in order to continue the war in the south, there are very few devils left in the city, and they can't send anyone to guard us at all!" Hirako whispered.

"I have a hunch that it won't be long, maybe in just a few days, you will be able to go out!" Hirako said in a firm tone.

"Oh, so sure?" Fang Xianjue glanced at him and showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time: "You little ghost, you're quite good at comforting people." ”

In September of this year, under the arrangement of Dai Li, director of the Kuomintang Military Command Bureau, Jin Yuanxun, head of the Hunan Station of the Military Control Bureau, and Huang Rongjie, head of the Hengyang Station, tried to rescue them. After more than two months of planning and deployment, on November 18, these two people hung Fang Xianjue down with a rope from the window on the second floor of the Catholic Church in Oujia Town, and rescued Fang Xianjue with him, as well as Wang Weineng, the magistrate of Hengyang County and the commander of the Hengyang Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment, Wang graduated from the sixth phase of Huangpu and was familiar with Fang Xianjue for a long time.

"Okay, okay, you're finally here!" Fang Xianjue knew that the rescuers were coming, so he hurriedly followed out with the coat next to him.

"Let me ask you above, what other important people around you need to go out together, please hurry up and explain to us now!"

"Around, important people?"

"Yes, you also have a lot of people imprisoned here, from your own military headquarters, from your divisions"

"No, no, no!" Thinking of those who persuaded him to surrender, Fang Xianjue suddenly had a sense of disgust: "It's all Han Annihilation, what can I do to save him!" ”

But the instructions from above were: "The man was a little dazed and at a loss.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, is what I am saying now useful?" Fang Xianjue stared at the man.

"Of course, you are our first task, and we will do whatever it takes to rescue you."

"That's okay, I order you now, get out of here immediately, I don't want to stay for a minute anymore, those people don't need your rescue, they're fine here, they're doing well!" Fang Xianjue walked out without looking back, and the man involuntarily followed.

The life of the countrymen is simple and ordinary, but Zhou Lian Chang and Qiangzi felt a long-lost touch!
