The first platoon and the fourth squad were successfully reorganized with the strong support of the four platoon commanders and the company commander, and the four platoons selected a total of ten soldiers to be assigned to the new fourth squad, and the four squads were reorganized into a full squad from the new one.

With the strong support of the platoon commanders of the company, and the soldiers who were drawn did not have any reluctance to go, in the end, a complete fourth squad, which had undergone a major blood change, reappeared in front of everyone. As for the run-in period of the fourth class, there will not be too much, and it was originally a barracks, so it is more familiar with it, so it can only be trained a few times in peacetime, and the rest can only be trained in actual combat.

And Wang Xiaomao and Li Zi, in addition to staying in their own squad, are running around, and now they are going to this squad to find the platoon commander, and learn scriptures and seek Buddhism everywhere, but fortunately, the troops have no combat missions now, and the squad leaders are also idle and bored, and they are also very happy to help the fourth squad reorganize the team.

Wang Xiaomao, who has made up for three evils, has gradually mastered some squad leader's command skills, and as for more, he can only continue to study and practice on the battlefield in the future. By now, the Zhengnan army had been surrounded outside Wuchang City for seven days.

At this time, the grain and grass in Wuchang City have long been cut off, and some soldiers even went door to door to collect food, but the little food that was finally found was not enough for the Qing army to eat, at this time the Qing army was hungry for a long time, and the people in the city were already empty, screaming for a long time.

"There is a situation, the Qing army in the city can't help it, and they plan to exchange a thousand civilians for food and grass, the division commander has promised them, and the regiment commander told us to get ready." Huang Ming hurriedly ran back to the company headquarters and said to the four platoon commanders who were waiting for the task.

"Great, finally something to do." Wang Yuxing clapped his hands.

I have been here for so long, even longer than the time I have marched here, but before that, I couldn't fight and scold, for fear that if the other party was careless and slaughtered civilians, then the spearhead of the whole country would be pointed at them, and this responsibility was not something that a small platoon commander could afford, or even their army commander could not shoulder this responsibility.

But fortunately, now that the fighter has finally been caught, it is not in vain to wait for so long, wasting a few days of the most precious time now.

In fact, they have been waiting for an opportunity, if it were not for the maximum reduction of casualties among the people, the Zhengnan army would have rushed up in the first time, but there are some benefits to fighting with Wang Lin, good equipment, fierce firepower, enough ammunition and military salaries, and tanks to help, these things are far from being compared with the Qing army on the other side, and the Qing army on the opposite side can only quietly fantasize in their hearts, and they don't even dare to say it, for fear that the people around them will hear that he collaborated with the enemy, and then be taken to invite merit.

In fact, it was not only the 45th Army that attacked Hunan that had this feeling, but also all other armies, all those who attacked some big cities, and the troops that encountered the stubborn resistance of the Qing army's foolish and loyal elements. This battle was too poor, and it was obviously able to be won in one fell swoop, but in the end, it had to take into account the casualties of civilians and had to adopt the method of besieging the city, in order to force the Qing army to surrender.

These army commanders and division commanders, and even the brigade commanders and regiment commanders below have already seen that it is absolutely impossible to fight a civil war with Wang Lin, and look at Wang Lin's ruthlessness towards the British on the battlefield in Hong Kong, it is completely like I won't let go if I don't beat you to pieces, so this group of officers still hopes to end the civil war quickly, and then follow the commander-in-chief to fight in a foreign country, and when they get there, they will be the enemy's people, and the Zhengnan Army will not have to worry about any civilian casualties at all.

Huang Ming led more than 200 soldiers of the third company and more than 800 soldiers of the entire battalion to lurk in the military grain warehouse, according to the instructions of the superiors, they will lurk in the warehouse and wait for the arrival of the enemy, and then the enemy's grain transportation team will start, of course, their task is not to defeat the grain transportation team, but to steal the beams and change the pillars, as for the forced surrender, it is completed by other troops.

After waiting for about an hour, more than 1,000 Qing soldiers from two battalions slowly walked out of the city gate with dozens of carriages and 1,000 civilians, rushing to the predetermined location.

After another hour, the trivial task of handing over the civilians was finally completed, and a squad of soldiers led more than 1,000 Qing troops straight to the military grain warehouse.

"Big brother, do you think they can really give us food?" An officer of the Qing army rode on a war horse, his eyes looking around, for fear that there would be an ambush around, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Eight Banners Army would be able to wipe out the family in a short period of time, not to mention more than a thousand soldiers in his two battalions?

"I don't know, but the Zhengnan Army has always treated people with integrity, but I don't know if they will treat us like this." The person who is called the eldest brother is called Yu Qing, he is a Han man, Yu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, now he is better, because he is an officer, and if there is food or something, the officer will eat it first, so most of the hungry people now are soldiers.

Groups of Qing troops slowly moved forward under the leadership of the soldiers in front, and after looking around, they didn't find anything abnormal, but they still made them tremble. Because all around them were soldiers of the Zhengnan Army, there was no other reason, and they were also told in advance that the granary was in the middle of the barracks, and if they wanted to get food, they had to go through the barracks.

Although these soldiers are doing their own things, but this is how these Qing troops are frightened, some are defending on the position, some are training, and some are queuing, an officer is walking back and forth in front, letting the soldiers raise their guns, and the direction of the gun is the way they must go. The soldiers of the Qing Army, who had already felt weak because of the hunger in their stomachs, not only became weaker after being so frightened by the Zhengnan Army, but even the original courage was not very big.

"Big brother, what are these Zhengnan troops eating? Why do you look at all the bodies so strong? And the face is also full of blood, and look at our soldiers, all of them are as thin as licorice, as if they are about to fall down when the breeze blows, and their faces are full of vegetables, I want to vomit when I look at them, let alone let them go to war. The officer continued.

"Hey, I just heard that the food of the Zhengnan Army is good, and the military salary is also high, and it is the kind that never arrears, their soldiers can eat meat twice every seven days on average, and they also eat white-flour steamed buns, all of which are the grain that Wang Lin bought from abroad, that guy has money." Yu Qing sighed helplessly, they are also Han people, why can they find such a good home?

"Big brother, I don't think it's better for us to surrender, seeing that the court is also dying, and the destruction of the country is a matter of the past few months, we really have no reason to spend it here, and there is no oil and water to fish, I think we might as well surrender to the rich man Wang Lin, maybe we can get some oil and water from him, and then you and my brothers will not be happy?" The officer said with a sinister smile.

At present, surrendering Wang Lin is much more promising than continuing to stay here and mingle with the imperial court, and when you get to Wang Lin, you can not only get some oil and water, but if you are lucky, you can write your name into the list of founding heroes if you are not careful, and besides, the army in the world is generally black, which army does not make some mistakes now? He really didn't believe that Wang Lin's Zhengnan army didn't fish out of the way at all.

"Hmph, how can surrender be so simple? Have you ever seen the surrender of the Hainan Army? Is there a whole set of adaptations that continue to let you lead the troops? Which of their armies didn't break up and reorganize, and then put their own officers and soldiers in it? I think that if you and my brothers go to Wang Lin, there will be oil and water, but it is just a coil that Wang Lin gave you and my brothers to go home. Yu Qing shook his head, he had already observed the Zhengnan Army for a long time, he had also heard people talking nonsense in the bazaar, and after returning to the barracks, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this was really the case.

Unconsciously, Yu Qing's two battalions of soldiers have all entered the encirclement, and the troops behind have slowly begun to close their mouths.

"The officer in front of us handed over the grain and grass? We have released 1,000 civilians as promised, and we ask your army to keep its promise and give us food and grass, so as not to disgrace the reputation of the Zhengnan Army. Yu Qing suddenly found that the soldiers leading the team in front of him were gone, and what appeared in front of him was a house after another, and a man who looked like an officer was standing in front of him.

"There is no food, you have two ways to go now, the first is to surrender, which can keep you all safe, and the second is to resist, and the result is that your army will be annihilated." As the officer said the words "annihilation", thousands of soldiers of the Zhengnan Army suddenly appeared around, their guns were unanimously pointed at the Qing soldiers standing in the middle, dozens of machine guns were mounted behind the bunker, and dozens of mortars were prepared in the back.

"It seems that you really plan to break the contract, do you really think that you can enter the city safely if you defeat me? Don't forget, the officers and soldiers on the city wall can watch here, every move here is watched by them, if you dare to kill me, you will kill two civilians over there, why don't we exchange them? Yu Qing said a little provocatively, how dare he come out without arranging the future? Even if the commander of the army asked him to come out and die, he had to prepare in advance.

"You'll see when you look back." The officer of the Zhengnan Army smiled.

Yu Qing turned his head when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, these bastards actually took advantage of their inattention to lead themselves here, this place is completely beyond the line of sight on the city wall, even if it is a disturbance here, it is impossible to know there. Looking at the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army standing in the rear, it was not a good deal to break through the defense line to a place that could be seen on the city wall, and it would cost a lot of troops.

"Haha, in that case, kill us, kill us all, kill us and they don't know you when you get to the city gate, and you won't be able to enter the city." Although Yu Qing was very surprised, he was naturally a little smart after so many years, and he quickly thought of his advantages.

"I can let you be the first unit of my Zhengnan Army to be reorganized and integrated, your subordinates are still under your control, and we will pay for the equipment, salaries and supplies, and it is the same standard as the regular army of the Zhengnan Army, you take us into the city, how about it?" The officer of the Zhengnan Army said with a serious face.

"Is that true? Won't break a promise? "The treatment of the Zhengnan Army, where can I find such a good thing? When the time comes, just deduct the military salary that has been issued, that is, a considerable amount, and make more money than making your own money, and then sell a little equipment or something, wouldn't it be a big fortune? Moreover, it is the first unit to be reorganized and co-opted, and it is also a big face to say it, and it can even make the Zhengnan army open up, Yu Qing has gradually become a little tempted in his heart at this time.

"Seriously, never break your word." The officer of the Zhengnan Army said very seriously, as if he was treating a leader.

"Okay, Lao Tzu will surrender, and I will lead you into the city."
