Zhang Fei thought about it for a moment and said, "It's okay, then let's go on!" ”

So Han Xing said to Wu Xiaoming: "A sheep is leading, and a group of sheep is driving, so let's all come up!" ”

Wu Xiaoming was very happy, and immediately shouted to Zhao Xu below: "Save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, then come up!" ”

Zhao Xu nodded at this time, and immediately ordered: "The whole battalion is on the plane."

But even getting these soldiers on the plane, it was also quite difficult, because these soldiers were so tired that they almost ran out of strength. The people below supported them, lifted them up, and helped them up the soft ladder one by one, and they climbed up one by one, one step, one step, that difficulty!

When they were about to get on the helicopter, the special combat team members above lifted them up one by one at once.

When they arrived at the plane, the routs collapsed on the floor of the plane one by one, almost on all fours, without any strength.

Zhao Xu was the last to get on the helicopter, and he lay on the floor of the plane.

The helicopter retracted the soft ladder, increased the throttle, and pulled it high into the air. Because the Japanese army was found not far away, it was very dangerous to entangle with the Japanese army at a distance close to the ground.

Wu Xiaoming picked up Zhao Xu's head, quickly took the kettle, and poured water into his mouth. He knew that this was the epitome of extreme water scarcity. The special combat team members followed his example, and they were all pouring water into the mouths of these routs.

Zhao Xu drank half a pot of water in a row, and the corners of his mouth were foaming, so he pointed to his mouth and said, "Eat, eat, as long as it's food......"

Wu Xiaoming hurriedly took his compressed food again and stuffed it into his mouth. When Zhao Xu arrived at this time, he didn't care what kind of food it was, he took a bite of the compressed food and swallowed it in a big gulp. I was in a hurry all of a sudden, choked, and stared at the white of my eyes.

Wu Xiaoming hurriedly pulled his chest and said, "Slow down, slow down, yes." ”

Zhao Xu swallowed a few mouthfuls and choked again, Wu Xiaoming took the kettle again and poured water into his mouth. Zhao Xu's soldiers are all like bears like him, starving to death, and they don't want to die when they see them.

Zhao Xu quickly finished eating a portion of Wu Xiaoming's compressed food, ate another serving, and wanted to eat it again, but Wu Xiaoming didn't give it to him.

"Why don't you tell me to eat?" Zhao Xu lost his temper.

Wu Xiaoming explained to him: "This is compressed food, high-calorie, and I can't stand it if I eat too much." You have already eaten my food for two days, and if you eat again, I am afraid that you will hold on. ”

Zhao Xu didn't understand, but still shouted: "Wu Xiaoming, Wu Xiaoming, grandma, eat such a few pieces of dry food from you, you don't want to, is it distressed, it's not interesting enough." When I get up, I will invite you to eat Western food, and you will have a round belly. ”

Wu Xiaoming hurriedly said: "It's not that I'm distressed, it's that I'm afraid that you will hold on, I'm afraid I haven't eaten for a few days!" ”

Zhao Xu scolded: "Grandma's, I'm still eating, I can't even drink water." Don't say, what is this of yours...... Compressed food is quite in charge, I don't feel hungry at this time, and I have energy in my body! I just don't feel any taste, what is salty or not, sweet or not, there is really no taste......"

Zhao Xu and the others were already hungry, and after running away on an empty stomach for a while, of course, their hearts were empty, and their bodies were as if they had been drained. After eating this high-calorie compressed food, adding water to fill it, and resting for a while, it quickly bloomed like a flower that lacked water.

Zhao Xu actually stood up from the ground, and his six people also slowly stood up from the ground. Zhao Xu said to Wu Xiaoming: "I want to see your chief?" ”

Wu Xiaoming hurriedly introduced Han Xing and said: "This is the chief of staff of Han Xing of our Southern Expeditionary Army, if you have anything to say, please tell our leaders." ”

Wu Xiaoming hurriedly introduced to Han Xing and said: "This is Zhao Xu, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 618th Regiment of the 103rd Division of the 86th Army, who fought very well in the battle of attacking the 2625 heights, 3120 heights and southeast heights of the Songshan position, captured and held these places, and also directly threatened the rear of the Imamura detachment. ”

Zhao Xu saw that Han Xing was so young, but no matter how young he was, he was still a chief! He suddenly gave Han Xing a standard military salute, and reported: "Report to the chief of staff of Han Xing, our 618 Regiment 3rd Battalion did not fight well, and held its position after attacking, and when I saw that the positions next to it were withdrawn, there was no way, so we had to withdraw." ”

Han Xing also gave him a military salute and said, "I have heard Wu Xiaoming say a long time ago, you fought very well and were very brave. How many people are left of your 3 battalions, or 618 regiments. ”

When asked this, it can be regarded as poking at Zhao Xu's heart. He said a little sadly: "Report to the Chief of Staff of Han Xing, our 618th regiment, there are only these 7 people left." ”

One regiment, more than 1,000 people, and only these 7 people remained, which shows how fierce and cruel this battle was. Han Xing closed his eyes, felt very sad in his heart, paused for a while, patted Zhao Xu's shoulder and said, "Battalion Commander Zhao, don't be sad, as long as there are these 7 people, as long as the spirit does not fail, your 618 regiment can still recover." ”

Zhao Xu looked at Wu Xiaoming, and said embarrassedly to Han Xing: "Chief of Staff Han, our 618 regiment no longer exists, thank you for saving us." Can you ...... the Southern Expeditionary Army? Can you take us in......"

When Han Xing heard this, his head was a little big, and this was another thorny question, so he said cautiously: "This matter is a bit complicated, and if it is not done well, it will affect the relationship between the two armies......

Zhao Xu said: "I don't blame you, this is our voluntariness, besides, our 618 regiment no longer exists, and the earth has disappeared." After speaking, he looked at Wu Xiaoming again like a plea for help.

Wu Xiaoming also helped him speak: "Chief of Staff Han, you can take them in." Besides, they really don't have a place to go at this time, they are all some cadres...... In the future, if their troops are called, it will not be too late to go back! ”

As a commander in charge of the military, who doesn't love warriors! These officers and soldiers who were killed in the course of a lifetime of bullets and bullets are all even more valuable and cannot be calculated in money.

Han Xing had no choice but to nod and say, "Then let's do it for the time being!" Wu Xiaoming, you just work hard and take care of them. ”

When Zhao Xu heard the music, he jumped up, and then he realized that he was already a very tired person, and his health was not good, and he was almost about to fall. But he still happily introduced his officers and soldiers to Han Xing: "This is Wang Jiazhen, the commander of the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 618th Regiment, this is Li Xiping, the commander of the 8th Company, and this is Sun Liangqing, the commander of the 9th Company......"

Listening to his introduction, a sense of joy rose in Han Xing's heart, these warriors of a hundred battles, after a short period of physical recovery, will soon be able to become a tiger and wolf soldier. In particular, these are some junior officers, and as long as they are supplemented with senior personnel, they will soon lead the officers and men who will form battalions and regiments......

In the sound of celebration on the Z-8 helicopter, the two Z-8 helicopters flew towards the Wanjialing area.

The soldiers on the plane were flushed with red faces and were extremely excited, and the officers and men of the two units who had just merged together were all talking with great interest about the happy scene of slaughtering the little devils, their respective situations after separation, and the details of their own experiences, and they talked happily over and over again.

However, Han Xing did not have time to listen to their discussions, he knew very well that his duty was that the commander should try to abandon a distracting thought on the chaotic battlefield, and think about the various problems he faced and how to solve them.

First of all, there is the issue of the area of operation, which is about 125 kilometers from Tianjiazhen to Wanjialing, and it will take more than half an hour to fly southeast according to the speed of the helicopter. However, in such a short distance, the terrain is quite complicated, almost all of the way are hilly areas, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and there are lakes and wetlands everywhere, and the army cannot get out if it is not good.

The helicopter is not afraid of this, whether it is hills or lakes, which of my tendons hurts, I still fly at high altitude, and the passage is unimpeded.

The helicopter avoided the Yangtze River, the main area of attack of the Japanese army, and flew towards Ruichang in Jiangxi, of course, it also had to avoid Ruichang, because Ruichang was also occupied by the Japanese army, and then flew south, and then flew to De'an County, Jiangxi.

This De'an County is the base camp of Xue Yue, an important fulcrum of the Nanxun Railway (Nanchang to Jiujiang), and the vast Poyang Lake to the east.

Before meeting Xue Yue, Han Xing recalled in his mind the information he had consulted about Xue Yue.

Xue Yue was born in 1896 in Lechang County, Guangdong Province, into an ordinary peasant family. It is said that when he was born, it was the second year of the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the national crisis was unprecedentedly severe, and China was in danger of being wiped out. So his father named him "Yangyue", taking the meaning of imitating the national hero Yue Fei. When he became an adult, Xue Yue felt that current affairs were wrong, and thought that just worshipping Yue Fei was not enough to call his heart, so he went to the word "Yang", with a single name Yue, "directly to Yue Fei's own situation".

Summing up Xue Yue's life, it can be said that the war is complicated, Rong Ma has been squeezed out by Chiang Kai-shek first, and then reused by Chiang Kai-shek, not only defended Sun Yat-sen, participated in the Northern Expedition and made great contributions, but also fought with ***, and his hands were stained with *** blood.

At a time when Japan was aggressively invading China, his stage seemed to have come again.

On June 9, 1938, Chiang Kai-shek promulgated the battle sequence of the Wuhan Garrison. Xue Yue served as the commander-in-chief of the First Corps of the garrison. Soon, he was the acting commander-in-chief of the 1st Corps of the 9th Theater of Operations.

In July, after the Japanese army invaded and occupied Jiujiang, the 101st, 106th, and 9th Divisions and the Guards Division attacked from Hukou and Jiujiang respectively in an attempt to occupy Nanchang, and then occupy Changsha, Hunan, and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and encircle Wuhan from the south.

On 1 August, Xue Yue was ordered to command the defense along the Nanxun Railway and along the shores of Poyang Lake in order to crush the Japanese army's attempt to encircle Wuhan from the south. He ordered the 25th Army of the National Revolutionary Army to serve as the lake defense from Shengjiazui to Xingzi, and the 70th Army of the National Revolutionary Army occupied the line of Niutoushan and Jinguanqiao; The 8th Army occupied the line of Shili Mountain and Zuanlin Mountain, the 4th Army occupied the northern end of the wheel mountain, Jigongling, and Huangtiannao reserve battlefield, and the 64th Army of the National Revolutionary Army controlled the mountains around Zhongyan, Dayan, Chazi Mountain, and Huluopojian; The 74th Army controlled the vicinity of Zhan De'an, and the 66th Military of the National Revolutionary Army controlled the vicinity of Zhan Lehua. In this way, in front of Nanxun, it constitutes an "anti-figure-eight position, such as a bag trap rat, and like a flying clipper, the enemy should respond to the center and left if the enemy is on the right, and the center and right should be on the left."

Immediately, the Japanese army was successively blocked in the areas of Jinguanqiao, Xingzi, Huanglaomen, and Ruichang. The first battle of East and West Guling annihilated most of the 101st Division and blocked the 106th Division at Mahuiling.
