"If you ask for instructions, Madang has long been lost, Lao Cheng is not that I feel sorry for Han Fei and them, but it is a pity that Madang Fortress is such a good natural location, if it is occupied by the Japanese invaders, then the east of Wuhan will be completely opened, how sure is it that Tianjiazhen can block the attack of the devils, Lao Cheng, you should know better than me in your heart, when the millions of troops around Wuhan will end up with the same result as the Battle of Songhu, do you still want the little devils to come to the Wuhan Massacre again?" Chief Chen was very excited, and his voice was raised.

"The battle isn't that serious, is it? There are still a lot of troops near Madang, the problem is that now this plan is formulated by the chairman himself, and if you want to change it, you must report to him for instructions, otherwise you and I can't afford to take this responsibility, Lao Chen, I understand your current mood, but I can't do anything about it. "Commander-in-Chief Cheng can't help it, he told Chief Chen the truth, if you want to mobilize troops to Madang in the existing deployment, without Lao Jiang's consent, it will definitely not work, unless it is to transfer other miscellaneous army units such as the Gui Department or the Northwest Army of the Sichuan Army.

"Lao Cheng, there is really no way to think about it? The Gui and Sichuan armies suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Xuzhou, with heavy casualties, and they have not been replenished in time until now, and they have already dispatched a division to Madang Fortress, and let me say it again, Chen can't say it. With so many troops of the Central Army near Wuhan, why is it so difficult to randomly transfer one of them to the past without affecting the defense? Chief Chen was very disappointed, and hurriedly left after speaking, he had no hope in his heart that Lao Jiang would send troops to reinforce Madang, Lao Jiang obviously only had the material to be a regiment commander, but he had to command millions of troops, and his descendants of the Central Army troops were all concentrated in a small area near Wuhan, and those fortress checkpoints outside were guarded by miscellaneous armies and local armed forces, so if they could win the battle, it would be strange, there was no way, it was completely useless.

After Chief Chen returned to the apartment, he sighed for a long time, stomped his feet and sighed, and his wife hurriedly came over to persuade: "Don't worry about these things, you just look at it for a few days, there are a lot more gray hairs on your head, it's really not good, let Han Fei and them come back, resign and live in seclusion!" ”

Hearing what Mrs. said, Chief Chen shook his head and said: "In the woman's opinion, Han Fei has now fought with the Japanese invaders, and if he withdraws, he will escape from the battle, his current situation is already quite dangerous, if he is not careful, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover, if I don't help him again, then who else here can help him?" Wan'er's happiness is tied to Han Fei. ”

When Madame heard this, she fell silent and stepped aside, and at this moment, the adjutant hurriedly came in to report, and his face was very nervous: "Sir, there is a visitor outside, who said that he is an old friend, and I want him to report his name, but he refuses to say, but only takes this letter." ”

After speaking, the adjutant handed Chief Chen a letter, there was nothing written on the outside of the envelope, and when he opened it, Chief Chen's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked the adjutant: "Have you found any spy surveillance near your home?" ”

"Ah, no, it's been a long time gone, huh?" The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied. Thinking that this visitor is not small, the chief's face changed greatly, and he asked if there were any spies near his home to monitor, could this visitor come from there?

"Hurry up, please!" Chief Chen gritted his teeth and said, it seemed that he had made a great determination.

The person who came was of medium stature, his eyes were bright, his appearance was dignified, he was dressed in a Mao suit, and he came in with a young man, and when Chief Chen saw this guest, he immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hands to hold the visitor, shook it and said excitedly: "Brother Hu, why are you here?" It has been more than ten years since I said goodbye in Guangzhou, and I am very emotional to meet here today, come on, sit down! ”

That Mr. Hu laughed: "Lao Chen, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you have aged a lot, it seems that the years are not forgiving, I wanted to come to see you as an old friend for a long time, but I have been busy with affairs, running back and forth, I really can't get out, this time I happened to pass by, so I came to visit my old friend, you won't blame me for being abrupt, right?" ”

This Mr. Hu is personable, the tone of his voice is very elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze, and his gestures invisibly reveal a Confucian demeanor, and the adjutant who handed the tea has vaguely felt that this guest may be the leader over there, and Chief Chen met in Guangzhou more than ten years ago, when the Whampoa Military Academy was just founded, think about it.

"Where, where! Brother Hu is joking, I heard that Brother Hu, the current situation over there is very good? As soon as he entered Shanxi, he fought a big victory, destroying more than 1,000 Japanese invaders, or your troops are powerful, only such a few people, such poor weapons and equipment, can fight so well, speaking of our side, hey, there is really nothing to say! Chief Chen sighed again, he didn't want to say this in front of this distinguished guest, but he was so depressed in his heart that he couldn't help revealing his true feelings.

"Lao Chen, it seems that you have something on your mind, you might as well speak it out and listen to it, we are old friends, and now we are comrades standing in the same trench again, maybe we can still help you?" How could Mr. Hu not see that Chief Chen must be full of things at this moment?

"Hey, don't say it, it's a shame to say it, there are millions of heavy soldiers around Wuhan, but I was frightened by the main force of less than 200,000 Japanese invaders, Madang Fortress is such a dangerous place, there is only one Jiangfang Corps to defend, there are already firefights with the Japanese attackers, but the nearby Central Army refuses to save, and watches Madang Fortress being captured by the Japanese invaders step by step, Chen is now only hanging up an idle post, and he can only complain here, but it's a pity that the Jiangfang Corps and Han Fei are hot-blooded good men!" As he spoke, Chief Chen found that his eyes were moist, and he hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip, it was really undeserved to be so out of shape in front of the distinguished guests.

Mr. Hu had already discovered this, nodded with a serious expression, and said: "Lao Chen is right, we all know your patriotic heart, it is a great fortune for China to have a patriotic general like you in the Kuomintang army, the geographical location of Madang Fortress is naturally needless to say, it is the east gate of Wuhan, once it is occupied by the Japanese invaders, it will inevitably cause huge pressure on the eastern front of Wuhan, Lao Chen, I will wait to find General Zhang, see if he has the ability to help, and some of our troops are operating near the Dabie Mountains, We can also provide the necessary help within our capacity. ”
