Hu Fei's voice shouted out, and the soldiers around him who were originally in a hurry immediately stopped and looked over in surprise, and hundreds of officers and soldiers with long and short guns rushed out of the gate and various doors.

"Where is Commander Hu of the 88th Column?" A tall and sturdy man ran out of the main hall door, this person swept around with fierce eyes, and saw Hu Fei's group of people at a glance. Where is this? This is the military headquarters of the Third Army, where can ordinary people come in? After seeing Hu Fei, this person immediately showed a vigilant look, holding the holster on his waist and asking with a solemn expression: "Who are you?" Why trespass on the headquarters of our Third Army? ”

"I am Hu Fei, commander of the 88th Column of the Decisive Army, and I was invited to meet with Commander Tang Huaiyuan." Hu Fei knew that this officer was probably the officer in charge of the security of the military department, so he only needed to maintain a normal tone when speaking to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard Hu Fei's self-report, his face immediately became dignified and solemn, and he raised his hand to salute as soon as he touched his heels, "Zhang Degong, the chief of the guard department of the Third Army, has seen Commander Hu. Please Commander Hu wait a moment, and I will report to the military seat if I am humble! After saying that, Director Zhang Degong turned around and ran into the door he had just come out of.

Then just wait. It's already one acre and three points of land in other people's homes, so you can't break in and not save a little face for Tang Huaiyuan, right? Hu Fei instructed his entourage to be calm and wait for the development of the situation.

It didn't take long, not even two minutes, and someone began to go out from the door where Zhang Degong, the chief of the security department, entered. First came a few stout GIs, followed by a steady stream of officers, from second lieutenants to colonels and major generals. Supported by everyone in the middle is a tall and thin middle-aged soldier, looking at the two generals on the collar, it is estimated that this is Huaiyuan, the commander of the Tang Army.

The crowd was divided to the left and right, and Tang Huaiyuan stood still and looked at Hu Fei quietly. The expression on his face was not only curious, but also seemed to reveal a little anger, and he couldn't tell what kind of expression it was. Zhang Degong, chief of the security department, introduced the two sides: "This is our military seat, Tang Army Commander Huaiyuan. This is the commander of the 88th Column of the Volunteer Army, General Hu Feihu. ”

After the introduction, Tang Huaiyuan still stood still like that. This is the first step that people don't want to take first. Hu Fei quietly laughed, strode forward and stopped five meters away from Tang Huaiyuan. raised his hand and saluted, and then took a few steps forward to shake hands, "Commander Tang, it's been a long time!" I took the liberty to visit today, and I would like to ask for forgiveness. ”

Hu Fei saluted and stepped up, and these two actions were connected very quickly, which made Tang Huaiyuan almost go wrong in a hurry. Hu Fei saluted, he should return the salute, who knew that at this time people had already stepped towards him, General Tang hurriedly returned the salute, and when his hand was halfway down, Hu Fei's two hands had already stretched out. Tang Huaiyuan had no choice but to change from saluting directly to shaking hands.

These two movements were extremely fast, and the people next to him couldn't see anything unusual at all, only the person concerned knew in his heart that he was in a hurry at that moment just now. Tang Huaiyuan took Hu Fei's hand and shook it up and down, "I have long heard that Commander Hu is a young general of our party-state, and when I see it today, he is really young and promising!" When I saw you, I knew I was old. ”

"Commander Tang is in the prime of life, and he is an outstanding pillar of our party-state. Hu has heard of General Tang's prestige for a long time, and it is comforting to see him today! ”

The two of you said a lot of kind words without any nutrition, Tang Huaiyuan and Hu Fei walked into the assembly living room of the landlord's house hand in hand.

Behind Hu Fei stood his entourage, Zhang Yayi, Yuan Fang, Huo Qinglong and others, ten entourages, all of whom were skilled in martial arts. Tang Huaiyuan was naturally a general of the Third Army. On the one hand, there are masters, and on the other hand, they are fierce generals, but they are also equal.

Since the main generals of the two armed forces were present at this meeting, the talks naturally focused on the substance. Both of them are busy with affairs, and there are a lot of military affairs waiting to be dealt with around them, and they don't have so much time to make a mistake, so they can say anything directly in person.

The two armies cooperate, how to cooperate? Where is the 88th Column responsible? What was the campaign deployment of the Third Army? The Japanese army has already pressed the border, and the front-line troops are bleeding and dying every minute and every second, and if the two generals continue to argue here, they will ignore the life and death of the soldiers.

After informing each other of the location and approximate number of troops of each other, Tang Huaiyuan first put forward his idea: the Third Army was blocking the Japanese attack from the front, and the 88th Column launched an attack from the flank. One main and one auxiliary, cooperate with each other to fight against the invading Japanese criminals.

According to the comparison of the strength of the two armies, what Tang Huaiyuan said is definitely right. The Third Army had nearly 20,000 people, and Hu Fei's Eighth and Eighth Columns were only 5,000 or 6,000 people at best. Even if you can fight again, the number of people is there, and this is what you should do.

What Tang Huaiyuan said made sense, but Hu Fei had his opinion. It is an indisputable fact that the Japanese army has strong combat effectiveness, and even if there are many people in the Third Army, you still can't withstand the all-out attack of a division of devils. Knowing that he can't beat it, he is still carrying it here, isn't that a matter of life and death for the soldiers under his command?

"Commander Tang, Hu thinks that if it is impossible to do anything, your army might as well give up some counties and towns, and not fight for one city and one place with the Japanese invaders. We can jump out of the confines of the city and strike the enemy in motion. ”

"Commander Hu! It is the responsibility of our generation of soldiers to defend the land! As a soldier of the party-state, we must have the determination to sacrifice for the country! Tang had already written a suicide note to his family before he went to the battlefield, if the war was unfavorable, he would only die! Since the theater has handed over the defense area here to my Third Army, Tang will definitely not give up lightly! ”

Tang Huaiyuan refuted Hu Fei with righteous words, his face was full of solemnity, which made people awe-inspired. However, Hu Fei didn't have time to admire Commander Tang's personality, because he had more important things to report to the lieutenant general of the Third Army.

"Commander Tang, Hu got the news that the Japanese invaders have mobilized another heavy artillery brigade to participate in the attack on the western front of Zhongtiao Mountain! That heavy artillery brigade would reach the front at any moment. Please also ask Commander Tang to prepare early! ”

"Heavy artillery brigade?" Tang Huaiyuan stood up and couldn't hide the horror on his face anymore, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course it's true, I have captured Japanese prisoners to testify to. The captives were outside, and Commander Tang sent someone to interrogate them to know whether it was true or not. "Hu Fei came this time and brought the three devil transporters who were arrested two days ago, and handed them over to the Third Army for interrogation to ask Commander Tang to know how grim the current shape was.
