Chapter 610: Retreat to Pukou
In the early hours of the morning, Han Fei took his men to get on the last batch of boats and wooden rafts, and retreated towards the opposite riverbank, originally he also wanted to set up mines and bombs near the dock to delay the devils, but thinking that so many people were coerced by the devils, if they were bombed, then he would be the murderer of his compatriots, and in desperation, Han Fei had to give up this idea and retreat by boat.
More than three hours later, Han Fei and their last group of men and horses withdrew to the opposite bank, there was already a group of brothers from the 79th Army waiting to meet them, and the leading one turned out to be a lieutenant general officer, seeing Han Fei and Commander Pan come ashore, the lieutenant general came up to greet them: "Finally here, Li's task can be regarded as complete!" ”
Han Fei and Commander Pan didn't expect such a big official rank to respond, and hurriedly saluted and reported: "Report to the commander, Han Fei of the Independent Division Reinforcement Regiment, and Pan Tian, the head of the Third Regiment of the Tax Police Corps, led the team to withdraw!" ”
"Brother Han, Brother Pan, you have worked hard, you have rescued a lot of soldiers and civilians, you have merit!" That lieutenant general turned out to be Commander Li of the 79th Army, although it was dark at night, but there was a searchlight here, Han Fei could see it from his badge at a glance, he was indeed Commander Li of the 79th Army, which really surprised him.
Commander Li took Han Fei and them into the temporary command post by the river, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Brother Han, let me tell you the truth, the situation is very bad now, Nanjing City has fallen, the devils have begun to slaughter the city, and the people here in Pukou are also panicking, and it is estimated that it will not last long, Admiral Chen specially explained in the telegram, saying that Brother Han, you have a set of leading troops to fight, can you join our 79th Army this time and resist the little devils here?" ”
It turned out that Commander Chen specially explained to him, no wonder he was so enthusiastic, Han Fei only then understood that this Commander Li of the 79th Army was an old subordinate of Chen's superiors, and when he heard that Commander Li asked him to assist in defending Pukou to fight devils, he immediately nodded without saying a word and said: "No problem, it is a matter of course for us to fight devils, this is needless to say, just listen to your orders!" ”
"Okay, refreshing, it's exactly what I imagined!" Commander Li's face turned from gloomy to sunny.
"There is one more thing I have to tell you, I just received a telegram from General Chen, he wants Major Chen's family to go to Wuhan immediately, Chen Zhong and his family are fine, but Major Chen doesn't want to go, Brother Han, are you going to persuade her?" Commander Li didn't know the reason, and in order to complete the escort task given to him by Admiral Chen, he asked Han Fei to come forward to persuade Chen Wan'er to go to Wuhan.
"This, it's useless for me to say this, it's mainly Major Chen's own meaning, right?" Of course, Han Fei was reluctant to let Chen Wan'er go to Wuhan at this moment, and after such a long journey, in this troubled world, I don't know when I will be able to meet?
What a character Commander Li is, of course, he has already seen Han Fei's expression, and seeing him speak like this, he nodded and said, "Brother Han, you go and ask Major Chen, if she really doesn't want to go to Wuhan, we won't force her." Respect her own choices. ”
Han Fei felt that it was very bad to reveal his emotional problems in front of Commander Li, which made people misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Of course, you have to ask Major Chen about his attitude first. ”
Chen Wan'er was tired and hung on a drip in the hospital, Nurse Xiao Li accompanied her, and suddenly a person came in outside, and Nurse Xiao Li hurriedly stood up and left, leaving Han Fei and Chen Wan'er.
When Chen Wan'er saw that Han Fei had come to see her, she was moved in her heart, tears couldn't help but welled up in her eyes, and Han Fei hurriedly comforted her: "Major Chen, it's hard work, so many refugees and people have been rescued by you, it's amazing!" Rest well and don't think about anything else. ”
Chen Wan'er nodded, she had thousands of words to say in her heart, but she didn't know how to speak for a while, and the atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden, but Han Fei broke the silence and said, "Admiral Chen has an order to come down, saying that he will take you to Wuhan, what are you going to do?" ”
"What do you say?" Chen Wan'er pushed this question to Han Fei, she wanted to hear what Han Fei meant, it was all a woman's scheming, it seemed that this was true.
"Of course I can't bear you to go, but if you want to go, I can't help it." Han Fei answered honestly.
Chen Wan'er's heart was like drinking a jar of honey, sweet, straight to the atrium, thinking: You elm pimple is finally a little enlightened, thanks to my deep affection for you.
"What am I going to Wuhan for? The eldest brother and aunt have not been there for a long time? Chen Wan'er actually didn't want to leave, and found that she was already a little inseparable from this elm pimple, although sometimes he was relatively slow to react emotionally, but his heart was still good, and it was worth entrusting for life.
"Okay, that's the best, I'll go and tell Commander Li right away, just say that you don't want to leave!" Han Fei immediately stood up and walked outside, Chen Wan'er smiled bitterly and shook her head: This nerd, I don't understand the charm at all, at this time, there are only the two of us, sit for a while, and say that the conversation will die?
Commander Li had already expected this result, and when he heard Han Fei say that Chen Wan'er refused to leave, he nodded and said: "That's okay, I think as long as Brother Han is here, Major Chen's safety can definitely be assured, and I will arrange for them to go to Wuhan tomorrow, come, Brother Han, let's take a look at the situation again, how long do you say that Pukou can resist the attack of the devils?" ”
As soon as he heard about the war, Han Fei came to his senses, and hurriedly nodded again and again: "Xie Junzuo cares, I am grateful for my humble duties, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, Nanjing City has fallen, the devils have begun to slaughter the city in the city, tens of millions of innocent people have been slaughtered by the devils, and it is a shame that we as soldiers look at each other across the river but are powerless!" ”
Hearing this, Commander Li's face became solemn: "Brother Han, you have done your best, it is not easy to save so many ordinary people in the tiger's mouth, you also attacked the prince of the devil, although I still don't know which prince of the devil died, but at least your attack in Nanjing City dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the devil and greatly boosted the morale of our troops, the whole general trend is like this, we are powerless to reverse the situation, I feel deeply ashamed, yes, but you can't just discourage the fighting spirit?" ”
Commander Li thought that Han Fei was complaining because he wanted to stop doing it, and hurriedly persuaded him, Han Fei heard that Commander Li had misunderstood what he meant, shook his head and said: "Of course we want to take revenge on the shame, the devil killed my compatriots in Nanjing City, adulterated my sister, if the soldier does not take revenge on the shame, then he is not worthy of the skin he wears at all!" ”
