Chapter 51: The Truth About the Flood

Occupying this hill was occupied by a group of national troops. Seeing a large group of people wading into the water, these national soldiers were obviously nervous, and they picked up their guns in a panic one by one, and pointed their guns at the approaching crowd.

"Stop! Don't go any further, we're going to shoot any further! More than 200 meters away, the soldiers on the mountain began to shout loudly.

"Hey, don't get me wrong! We are from the Twenty-seventh Army, which part are you? The soldier who walked in the front hurriedly accosted the other party at the top of his voice. People are on the shore, but their own side is in the water. If the two sides really want to fight, their group of people has nowhere to hide, so they have to be a target for others!

"Of the Twenty-Seventh Army? How could the Twenty-seventh Army be here? Didn't you go west to Luoyang a long time ago? How did you end up here? "Not to mention, there is really something clear on the mountain bag, and as soon as I heard the number, I found the problem inside.

"We are left behind, and we have been separated from the devil and the army!" This time it was not an ordinary soldier who spoke, it was Murati who spoke with the best eloquence. This Hu Fei's first sharp-mouthed subordinate actually escaped alive from Lanfeng City. "Brother, what part are you from?" Seeing that the other party's situation seemed to have eased, Murati whispered to remind the soldiers around him to speed up!

"We belong to the 141st Division of the 32nd Army."

The commander of the 32nd Army was Shang Zhen. Although Shang Zhen was awarded the rank of second-class general in 1935, his 32nd Army was still not comparable to the Central Army's descendant units in terms of its status in the eyes of the chairman of the National People's Congress or in the distribution of military salaries and weapons.

Therefore, when they heard that the group of men who waded in the water were the protégés of the Son of Heaven of the 27th Army, the 32nd officers and soldiers on the hill immediately lost their temper and let Mulat lead the people to wade ashore.

As soon as he came ashore, Murat greeted the thirty-two officers and soldiers on the shore, and when Hu Fei also came ashore, this eloquent master immediately closed his mouth and stood in the crowd.

Hu Fei glanced at the officers and soldiers of the 32nd Army who came first, and their number was about thirty or forty, a little more than a platoon. The officers and soldiers of the 32nd Army were also looking at the group of elite soldiers of the so-called 27th Army, who were as wet as chickens in soup, and they didn't look much more elite than them.

"Who among you is the commander?" Hu Fei asked twice in a row, but no one answered, so he had no choice but to ask again: "Who has the highest military rank?" Which military rank is the highest, please stand up! ”

After a pause of more than half a minute, a major officer with two bars and one star on his collar stood up in the crowd, "I am Wang Guoqiang of the Staff Office of the 141st Division of the 32nd Army. Who are you? ”

"I am Hu Fei, the captain of the Independent Cavalry Brigade of the 27th Army. I led my troops to encounter Japanese troops on the way in, and lost contact with the main force. I didn't expect to encounter a flood, but fortunately there is this highland, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to soak in the water. Counselor Wang, you were also trapped here by the flood, right? ”

"yes, we're trapped here by the flood, too." When it comes to the flood, Wang Guoqiang's words seem to be a bit secretive. Although this is just Hu Fei's feeling, his feeling has never deviated. Hu Fei was suspicious of this Wang Counselor for no reason, what is this guy hiding from?

Since there were suspicions, Hu Fei didn't say much to Wang Guoqiang, and he asked the troops to find a place to rest at will on this small high ground.

Although there was another army on the high ground, Hu Fei did not set up a dividing line between the two armies. The two hundred or so members of the cavalry brigade and the thirty or so men of the 32nd Army sat together. The high ground is not large, the space is limited, and although some people in the 32nd Army have opinions, they cannot express them.

Hu Fei nodded slightly, and Murat immediately trotted over to listen to the order.

"You go to those people and ask about them, mainly about topics related to the flood, and tell me if you find anything!" Hu Fei lowered his voice and gave Mula a secret order.

Murati nodded slightly, neither asking why nor asking Hu Fei what was the use of asking about these things. This one, with his head down, slipped into the crowd, and in a few moments, he approached a few soldiers of the 32nd Army.

There was not much time, and it was only twenty minutes before Murat returned, and the expression on his face was not as strange as it could be.

"What's the matter?" Hu Fei grabbed Mulati and turned around to a place where there were few people and asked about the result.

"I found out." Murat really deserved to have a good tongue, and when he came up, he first alleviated Hu Fei's anxiety, "This flood is man-made." After the defeat of the Battle of Lanfeng, the Commander's Department of the First Theater ordered the 20th Army to blow up the mouth of the garden and lead the water of the Yellow River to flood the Japanese army! The flood under our feet is the water of the Yellow River that bursts its banks! ”

"Shhh Blowing up the embankment and flooding the Japanese army? Cheng Qian is so bold! Is this a flooded Japanese army? Even their own troops were flooded, not to mention the common people of the river basin! At this moment, I don't know how many innocent people died in Zeguo!

In fact, Hu Fei didn't have too many complaints about Cheng Qian, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, if there was a way, who would make such a decision? Who would bear to flood the people of their own country? In the final analysis, this is all the sin created by Japanese devils! If it weren't for the Japanese invasion of China, where would hundreds of millions of our people need to endure such a catastrophe?

In any case, the embankment that Shang Zhen blew up is always right, so it seems that he should pay some interest, right? Hu Fei's eyes rolled wildly, and he found a reason that seemed to make sense for his next action. Now that you have a decision, you have to act on it.

Hu Fei brought Liu Dong, Ji Jinbiao, Yang Jinsheng and others to tell him what he meant, and everyone except Liu Dong raised their hands in approval. Liu Dong was a little worried, would he be caught by others in doing this? After all, people have a big backstage, and the second-level general Shang Zhen is not joking! Long Muhan is a descendant, right? If you make a mistake, doesn't it mean that you will be caught?

In this regard, Hu Fei disagreed. What mistake did Long Muhan make? That is fleeing without a fight, losing the city and losing the land, that is making the chairman lose face, and that is losing the land and escaping! According to military law, that is to be shot! Can he do the same thing as Long Muhan?

Hu Fei stood up and straightened his uniform, Ji Jinbiao, Yang Jinsheng and others returned to the troops, and the more than 200 people brought by Hu Fei dispersed more and more.

Hu Fei walked next to Wang Guoqiang, a staff officer of the 32nd Army, pretended to be affectionate, took out a cigarette case, smoked two cigarettes, and lit them for Wang Guoqiang and himself. Hu Fei seemed to be thinking about how to speak, and after the two of them swallowed the clouds and smoked a few mouthfuls, he said to Wang Guoqiang with a little hesitation: "Counselor Wang, the current situation is really embarrassing. In my opinion, let's just combine our two forces into one. ”
