In the headquarters of the First Front Army, I listened to all kinds of news coming from the front. Chen Fuqin looked at several small flags on the map that were constantly changing, just at the beginning the small red flags accounted for a large area, half an hour passed, with the migration of the small blue flags, the range of the small red flags was slowly shrinking, and now there are only two places on the map with red flags. One is in Yuxi City, and the other is surrounded by blue flags.

Chen Fuqin looked at his watch, and now three minutes had passed, and there were still two minutes left before the five-minute deadline.

"Brother Songpo, do you think the Dian army will surrender?"

"It's hard to say, I hope their choice can be rational, there is no need for you to live or die in a domestic scuffle. At that time, it will be our national defense strength that will be lost, and we really don't want more children to lose their fathers and parents to lose their sons. Cai Ye said sadly.

"Hopefully! There are iron laws of war, and we cannot change them. Chen Fuqin said helplessly.

"The matter has come to this point, we can only fight, for the sake of our will, and for the sake of the broad masses of the people, everything that stands in our way must be destroyed." Cai Ye said very firmly.

This is also the effect that Chen Shao has been pursuing, so that all soldiers and officials at all levels can have a spirit of being willing to give everything for the people, and take helping the vast number of toiling people get rid of poverty as the grand wish in everyone's heart.

At this time, on the city wall of Yuxi, Liu Guwu and others also heard the shout, and the senior officers of the entire Dian army began to quarrel, there were those who surrendered, and there were also those who fought to the death, and there was no unity.

"Commander, surrender, Guijun is too perverted."

"Yes! Commander, there is no place to retreat now. ”

"If we can't surrender, it's a big deal that we will retreat directly to Kunming, there are still 100,000 soldiers there, so I don't believe that we can't stop it."

"Fart, can you run back now? Don't you see that people are all in cars, can you run cars? ”

"We can send a team to block it. The large forces retreated. ”

"How to block, people don't bird you, they chase your large army directly, and do you think that if you let the soldiers know that we are going to run now, there will still be someone to block the attack of the Gui army? I can tell you that no matter how many troops you leave behind, we will all surrender as soon as we turn around. ”

"That's right, commander, if we don't agree, the other side will open fire, we still have more than 30,000 soldiers on the position, and they are still squeezed into a small space by the other side, we have witnessed the shelling of the Gui army, in such a small area, once it is shelled, let alone people, even earthworms can die three times."

"Commander, we can't just watch the soldiers be wiped out like this. It's better to surrender than to die all, and now it's a civil war. It's like two brothers fighting, it doesn't matter if they get injured, they are all a family, how can you live or die. ”

"Commander, let me make a statement, if I face foreign aggression now, I will die on the front line with my soldiers, but in the face of the Gui army, we don't have to." Wang Ailou, who was next to Liu Groupwu, said that he was the highest official here except for Liu Groupwu.

Liu Group Wu shouted: "Give me silence." Looking at the soldiers around him, except for a few who wanted to fight four battles, the rest were all suggesting that they surrender. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath of air, and looked at the battlefield in the distance. said lightly: "Send a message to Guijun, I want to have an interview with Cai Yi." ”

"Commander, you're going to see the old Overseer?" Wang Ailou asked with some doubts.

"Yes, I haven't seen him for many years, thinking about the scene of the Wuchang Uprising, the years are like a shuttle, just like yesterday. I didn't expect to meet each other now, and the world is impermanent. ”

"Commander, we still have 50,000 soldiers in Yuxi City, who will command you when you go here, and what if the Gui army starts attacking us?" A staff officer asked.

"I'm going to see Cai Ye now, just for the soldiers in the city."

"The commander's meaning is to surrender the Gui army together with the soldiers in the city, if this is really the case, then don't blame me for not being embarrassed." A division commander said fiercely.

"Why the hell are you looking for death, how did you talk to the chief?" Wang Ailou scolded the teacher who spoke.

"I don't care, the Overseers don't treat us well, is this how we repay the Overseers?" At this time, the three division commander-level generals next to him also spoke.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know your filthy heart, you know that the Gui family hates scum like you, and you will inevitably be sentenced after surrendering. Don't think that you guys don't know what you do in peacetime, you are not qualified to repay the Overseers in front of me. Wang Ailou said angrily. After speaking, he was still angry, and directly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the four division-level generals. The four men also drew their pistols and aimed them at Wang Ailuo's head. Seeing that his army commander was pointed at with weapons, the three division commanders under Wang Ailou also pulled out their weapons, and at the same time, their respective guards also raised their weapons, and the battle was about to break out.

"Put down your weapons for me, now I have the final say, if the four of you are men, then I will fulfill you, now lead your troops, give me to go out to support the soldiers on the front position, if anyone dares to trample, don't blame me for enforcing battlefield discipline." Liu Group 5 said loudly.

One of the four division commanders, after putting down his pistol, immediately said: "You are a personal vendetta, you know that if you go out, you will be sent to death, you are killing people with a knife, and I will expose your deeds to the Overseers." ”

At this time, Wang Ailou laughed and said: "Do you want to send a report, then do you want me to help you send it, deduct your military salary, and talk to the overseer about selling military supplies." ”

"You ,..." The four division commanders were so frightened by Wang Ailou's words that they couldn't speak, if the Overseers really knew what they had done, then how could they still be killed.

At this time, Wang Ailou said again: "Open your eyes and take a good look, now on the battlefield, how many are your soldiers, and all the soldiers of my army are on it, what about you?" In addition to one regiment at the front, which other troops are yours? A bunch of bad guys. ”

"Okay, there's no need to fight anymore, I don't care if you send a report or what you do, now I order you to go out to support, why don't you act, do you want to disobey?" Liu Guwu said with a serious face.

"No, no, Commander, we were wrong, we support you. I immediately sent someone to inform Gui Jun. A division commander hurriedly said. Disobey on the battlefield, they don't have the courage yet, they don't dare to think about sending a report to Kunming now, and when the time comes, they will knock down Liu Guwu, and they will be finished.

"Humph! A bunch of cowards. Wang Ailou put away the pistol and said sarcastically. In the face of Wang Ailou's sarcasm, the four of them lowered their heads helplessly and stopped talking.

At the position of the Dian army on the battlefield, a soldier holding an iron-clad suggestion megaphone shouted to the KPA: "Brother Guijun on the other side, our commander wants to talk to Chief Cai, please don't attack for the time being." ”

When I heard Gui Jun shouting that he was going to start shelling if he didn't surrender, the hearts of all the Dian troops were also raised. As time passed, their commanders did not have the slightest intention of surrendering, and many of the Yunnan army's palms began to break out in cold sweat, and some of them hurriedly dug deep trenches, if they really did not surrender, they would have a better chance of survival. When the five minutes were almost over, many of the Dian soldiers began to look for a place to prepare to dodge the shells, but when the commanders of the two sides were about to meet on their own positions, all the soldiers of the Dian army suddenly felt a sense of relief.

In the headquarters of the First Front Army, Cai Ye watched the time pass minute by minute, and the second hand hand was approaching twelve little by little. With the arrival of the last ten seconds of the five minutes, Cai Ye also counted in his heart: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Seeing that the time had come, Cai Ye and Chen Fuqin glanced at each other, Cai Ye sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to order the artillery bombardment, a message sounded on a walkie-talkie next to him: "Report, this is the vanguard force, the news from the Yunnan army is that their commander Liu Guwu wants to have an interview with the commander-in-chief, and the vanguard force asks for instructions?" ”

After hearing this kind of news, Cai Ye and Chen Fuqin both breathed a sigh of relief. Nor did they want the order to be shelled to continue, as it would inevitably lead to human suffering. Cai Ye walked to the walkie-talkie, picked up the intercom and said: "I am Cai Yi, promise them that the meeting place will be between the two armies." And arrange for it to be so that both armies can hear our conversation. ”

"Brother Songpo, won't this be too dangerous, if the other party breaks the kettle and fights back to the death, then what about your safety?" Chen Fuqin was a little worried.

"No, Liu Guwu, I know that I have participated in the Nanchang Uprising before, and I am a man and a very bright person." Cai Ye said confidently.

Just when Chen Fuqin was about to say something, Cai Yi waved his hand, tidied up his military uniform, put on white gloves, and hung up the command knife. The KPA's command knife is only qualified to be worn by military commanders who have reached the rank of full division.

Chen Fuqin also sorted out the military appearance, and he was going to go with Cai Ye to have a look, but just in case, he would not go with Cai Ye to see Liu Group 5. It's in the back, ready for any contingencies.

The two left the command headquarters and walked together into the armored command vehicle. Regarding Chen Fuqin's follow, Cai Ye didn't say anything. Not long after, the two came to the battlefield and, accompanied by Chen Gengpeng, commander of the First Division of the First Army, walked to the buffer zone between the two armies. There was already a table, two chairs, and two microphones on the table, and the microphone cable was attached to an armored car with a stereo on one side.

At this time, Liu Groupwu, accompanied by the guards, also walked over. Looking at the two microphones on the table and the strange armored car next to him, although Liu Guwu was curious about their roles, he didn't show it on his face at all.

He came one step ahead of Cai Yi, watched the old commander slowly come over, sorted out his military uniform, and greeted him.
