At 10 o'clock in the morning, the door of the closed commander-in-chief's office was slammed open, and Commander-in-Chief Jiang, Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui, Chen Guofu, and Cai Yuanpei, who were secretly discussing countermeasures, raised their heads in surprise, only to see Yu Jishi, who was sweating, standing at the door with an urgent report in his hand, his face flushed.

Chiang Kai-shek glared at Yu Jishi and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?" ”

"An Yi urgently!"

Yu Jishi's voice was excited with a hint of sentimentality.

Chiang Kai-shek was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and strode to meet him, took the telegram and glanced at the map that quickly walked towards the west wall, and Zhang Jingjiang and others also followed with concern.

Yu Jishi stepped forward quickly, opened the heavy green velvet curtain, and a delicate large-scale map of the Xu Beng Theater was displayed in front of everyone, and dense black arrows were covered in all directions of the Jiangbei Theater.

Seeing the location of the mouth of Hongze Lake in the east, Chiang Kai-shek gasped: "Wasn't he still in Luoma Lake north of Suqian the day before yesterday?" Under the heavy encirclement of a strong enemy, can it move 130 kilometers south in two days? This speed ...... Is the intelligence accurate? ”

"The students think it is accurate, Senior Brother An is a natural genius, full of pearls, and the strong combat power and rushing speed of the department are amazing, looking at the whole army, no one can match it.

Now the commanders of the General Staff Office are discussing the possible marching route of Senior Brother An's department, Deputy Director Yin said that Senior Brother An entered Hongze Lake, and finally escaped, but he also entered the most critical time, because ...... According to Senior Brother An's supplementary telegram, there are now only more than 3,600 officers and men left in the division, of whom more than 800 have lost their combat effectiveness, more than half of the officers at and above the company commander level of the division have been killed in battle, and Major General Lu Guang, commander of the Reading Force Regiment where the model battalion is located, was shot in the chest, and his life and death are unpredictable. Yu Jishi reported sadly.

The dignitaries sighed, and Chiang Kai-shek, who was full of worry, turned to the map again, staring blankly at the small corner of the east mouth in Hongze Lake, and remained motionless for five or six minutes.

Wu Zhihui motioned for Yu Jishi to go out first, watched the door close, whispered a few words in Zhang Jingjiang's ear, and then returned to the sofa with Cai Yuanpei and Chen Guofu to sit down and wait.

Zhang Jingjiang stepped forward and took Chiang Kai-shek's hand, took him back to sit down opposite everyone, sighed with great emotion, and suggested to Chiang Kai-shek in a low voice:

"Can you send a telegram and let Xiao Yi return to Nanjing first, since the department is worry-free for the time being, why not ask for the surname to stay in the vast Hongze Lake area to rest?"

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head gloomily: "Elder Jing, everyone, the reason why An Yishi is invincible and invincible is because of the affection of officers and soldiers who are like brothers and sisters and the spirit of a model battalion as solid as a rock, which even his opponents are extremely impressed, which makes Zhongzheng proud and makes him a model for the whole army."

With Zhongzheng's understanding of An Yizhi, he would never give up his subordinates and run for his life alone...... It's a wrong move! When the counterattack on Xuzhou was fierce, I was unaware of Bai Jiansheng's conspiracy to get rid of An Yishi, the first strong brigade under my command, thinking that with Bai Jiansheng's command ability and An Yi's invincible momentum, it was not a big problem to resist several times the enemy's aid for a day or two, who knew that the battle situation took a sharp turn, Bai Jiansheng actually took the lead in ordering all the troops in the middle to retreat in advance, and finally trapped more than 10,000 elites of An Yi's division in the enemy's encirclement.

But now...... I think that my dignified commander-in-chief, and even as the head of the first school of An Yi's soldiers, I actually watched my beloved generals and loyal generals fall into the tiger's den, and the more they fight, the fewer and fewer ......."

When Chiang Kai-shek said this, his eyes were red and he couldn't go on, he lowered his head and picked up the water cup to stabilize his emotions, but his outstretched hand trembled slightly, and a lot of boiled water spilled from the cup.

Everyone sighed for a long time, Zhang Jingjiang, who admired An Yi's talent very much, sighed even more, Chen Guofu comforted a few words, and then made a suggestion:

"Principal, it's better for your subordinate Mr. Yongzhi (Kong Xiangxi) to ask him to contact him secretly, maybe you can open the opponent's net."

"It won't work!"

Chiang Kai-shek stabilized his mood, put down the cup and said sadly: "Have you forgotten about the Golden Buddha Village?" At the beginning, I and Mr. Kong in order to keep the Buddha Village, many times called Sun Chuanfang, at that time we had as many as three lieutenant generals and eight major generals in the hands of Sun to exchange prices, imploring to exchange with each other, Mr. Kong also secretly promised to pay another one million ransom, so goodwill, such a price, Sun Chuanfang did not accept, and finally beheaded the Buddha Village in Yuhuatai.

Now An Yi is more than the role of the Buddha Village, the enemy and us are clear at a glance, especially since the battle in Jiangxi, An Yi has suddenly risen to the top, invincible, and lost no less than dozens of generals under his grandson, just capturing the enemy generals as many as more than ten people, after going north to Jiangbei, An Yi's division is to attack the enemy, and beat the Zhilu army to the ground, even Chu Yupu, the deputy commander of the Zhilu coalition army, almost became a prisoner of An Yi's ranks!

Think about it, at this time, An Yi was alone in Jiangbei and was under siege, still winning many battles, making the enemy chief lose face and be ashamed, and he wanted to put him to death immediately and then quickly, who would care about money and let the tiger return to the mountain? It's not right, it's not right! Zhongzheng felt extremely guilty in his heart, like a knife......"

"Smack-"

Wu Zhihui shot the case and glared angrily at Chiang Kai-shek: "Kai-shek, you have been fighting horses for half your life, and you have become the commander of the whole army, at this time, the strong enemy is looking around, embattled, the great cause entrusted by Mr. Zhongshan is about to overturn, and the ideal tower built by thousands of troops and horses with flesh and blood is crumbling.

Right! You regret that you have neglected to oversee the Chinese people's plan, so that you will lose the army of tigers and wolves under your command to the enemy, so you make a compassionate childish gesture, stomp your chest and stomp your feet, and make a wrong move, and lose your courage! But do you see who needs to clean up the whole mess in front of you? Do you know that countless people are waiting for you to make a decisive decision to follow the principle of response?

With all due respect, even the old man himself is a pawn on this chessboard, not to mention An Yi, a pawn who crosses the river in the north of the lonely river? You are so short-sighted, how can you inherit the legacy of your husband? How to be worthy of the people who are looking forward to it all over the world? ”

Chiang Kai-shek raised his head in astonishment for a moment, drenched in cold sweat, stood up respectfully and apologized, Wu Zhihui stepped forward to help him earnestly advise, and comforted An Yi The boy Fu has a great life, since thousands of troops and horses can't trap him and let him escape to Hongze Lake, he is likely to escape back safe and sound.

Zhang Jingjiang, Cai Yuanpei, and Chen Guofu on the side were stunned and full of emotion, and they couldn't help but be impressed by the methods of the number one madman in the party, so they spoke comforting words one after another, and soon transferred all the energy of Chiang Kai-shek to the current predicament.

Two hours later, he finally decided on the strategic idea of "taking retreat as advance, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger, waiting for the opportunity, and breaking the situation one by one." Chiang Kai-shek immediately took out his resignation written overnight last night. The Eight Letters to the Nationsmen, the people repeatedly considered the style and tone of writing, and it was not finalized until two o'clock at noon.

Sending Zhang Jingjiang and others away, Chiang Kai-shek motioned to Yu Jishi and Wang Shihe and others to take out the lunch they had brought, drove everyone away and closed the door, slowly walked to the front of the map, looked at the many islands on Hongze Lake, and finally fell to the corner of the east mouth, and the body stood still. jumped into the icy water with a seriously injured body, shouldered the pontoon bridge and blood-stained Ganshui, and An Yi settled in this room to conquer Yangzhou and fly to Lingsi to promote the occupation of Xuzhou...... Endless sadness and deep guilt lingered in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, accumulating more and more, and he couldn't help but burst out of his eyes with two lines of tears.

It was also ten o'clock in the morning, in the west of the old Nanchang City, the tree-lined Phoenix Gang.

Dozens of brothers gathered in the front hall of the quaint and solid two-story building, hundreds of officers and soldiers from the recruitment office and nearly 1,000 veteran brothers gathered under the big trees in front of and behind the small building.

In the back hall of the small building, the second aunt cried and held Lao Dao's hand, begging bitterly: "Dad, think of a way!" Find a way! We must save Xiao Yi and the brothers......"

Lao Dao gently helped his wife to sit down: "What are you crying for?" Why are you crying when people live well? If you're crying, don't hang yourself from Xia Jian's house next door? Xiao Fang just helped Xia Jian give birth to a big fat boy, don't you know? You shout, Xiaofang still wants to live? And what about so many family members in the community? I don't know! You go upstairs for me, Ermao, help your mother upstairs! ”

The sensible Ermao responded, respectfully helped the mother who was nine months pregnant upstairs carefully, and comforted her in a low voice as she walked.

Lao Dao raised his head and sighed, tidied up the robe on his body, shook his sleeves, and walked out of the front hall with unhurried steps as every day, and saw that the brothers in the hall were all standing up respectfully under the leadership of Huang Yingwu, Lao Kong and Lao Han Tou of the Ordnance Institute, Lao Dao asked with a strange face:

"What are you doing here? Yes? What is this for? ”

Huang Yingwu, who came from Nanchang City, knew the old way, stepped forward to salute, and then explained with a smile: "The brothers heard that the battle ahead was fierce, and they had the boss and the brothers on the front line in their hearts, so they all came to ask for news, haha!" Disturb Uncle Dao's purity, don't be angry, don't be angry! ”

Lao Dao stood on tiptoe, looked out of the door where the black pressure was full of people, and saw that Huang Yingwu's father-in-law, Zhou Dashanren and other shareholders were also standing under the tree, and glared at Huang Yingwu unhappily:

"Your old father-in-law is not well yet, do you understand? Why don't you send him back soon? ”

"The little nephew has been persuaded just now, and my father is also worried about the teacher's seat, Uncle Dao, just give me a word!" Huang Yingwu, who was wearing a straight colonel's uniform, still looked dead-faced.

Lao Dao was extremely moved in his heart, but his face was fine, he glanced at a room full of men with hatred, cleared his throat and said loudly:

"It seems that Lao Tzu doesn't say anything, you grandsons are going to demolish my house, haha! Okay, listen, Xiao Yi has sent a telegram, he and his brothers have successfully driven to the Hongze Lake area, there are fish and meat every day, and they are living a good life! I'll be back next month, and you don't have to worry about him...... How? Still not leaving? What are you worried about? Do you grandchildren think I'm lying? Or do you think your own brains are better than your masters? ”

The crowd cheered, and they all departed happily.

After the brothers left, Huang Yingwu chased Lao Dao to the back hall and asked anxiously, "Uncle Dao, how is my boss now?" ”

Lao Dao sighed, took out the telegram from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Yingwu, Huang Yingwu hurriedly opened it and saw that the telegram was only five words: Arrive at Hongze Lake!

"Uncle Dao, just these few words, how do you know that the boss will come back next month?" Huang Yingwu was much more relieved.

Lao Dao slapped Huang Yingwu on the head: "You dare to doubt Lao Tzu's Taoism, get out!" ”

"Yes! Haha......"
