The peasants nodded again and again, and hurriedly ran to the hospital in the city with the national army, but what the guards guarding the city gate didn't notice was that there were some smiles in the eyes of those peasants...

"It's just ahead, let's go faster. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" said the guard who led the way, urging.

"Boss, wait a minute, I forgot to tell you something." A farmer suddenly grabbed the guard and said.

The guard looked back and asked strangely, "What else is going on?" ”

"Poof" sounded, the guard desperately covered his neck, he couldn't believe it and looked at the old farmer with the dagger in his hand, he wanted to say something, but the blood foam gushing out blocked his throat, so that he couldn't make any sound at all, he slowly fell down, and Toushan, who was disguised as a peasant, immediately said, "Quick!" Change into a military uniform and ask for directions on your tongue. ”

A few people selected by Toushan are all agents with good martial arts and excellent quality, a few people quickly found the patrol, hid in the corner and attacked the patrol soldiers who fell behind, and immediately tortured Jiang Cheng's whereabouts when they caught them alive, they knew in their hearts that time was running out, although it was normal to have one or two fewer people in wartime, whether they were killed or escaped, but there were more than seventy or eighty less, the national army should find out that something was wrong no matter how stupid it was, and the time Toushan gave himself was four hours, If Jiang Cheng's whereabouts are still not found within four hours, go out of the city first or hide and wait for the next opportunity.

Toushan's torture is very simple, in a word, I don't know where those people from Shaoguan live, I don't know if I don't know, I cut off my ears and ask again, if there is an omen to shout, I will stab him in the throat first, relying on his confidence in his own skills, Toushan is not afraid that these captured national soldiers will attract the attention of others, and finally, in the mouth of the seventh national army, he got the answer he wanted.

"Those who came from Shaoguan are all in the basement of a school near the headquarters, I beg you, let me go." A national soldier said with his pants peeing.

Toushan smiled evilly, "You dare to lie to me, what you said is completely different from what we know!" "As he spoke, he was going to cut it.

The man was gagged, his limbs were unjointed, he was lying on the ground shivering, shaking his head constantly, Toushan put away the knife and asked, "What?" Want to be honest? ”

The Nationalist cried and said, "What I said is true... They're really in school. ”

Poof! Toushan's knife was inserted into the heart of the national army, and the national army looked at Toushan in surprise, and Toushan stared at the eyes of the national army until the national army was completely dead.

"Well, it's true, it's supposed to be in that school, go! We went to school immediately. Toushan put away his knife and waved his hand to let a few people pack up and prepare to leave.

In the basement, Jiang Cheng opened the door, except for the first day when Jiang Cheng spent all the time in Hengyang to watch the battle, Jiang Cheng returned to modern times and went to the Soviet Union with machinery and equipment in the next few days, where the construction was in full swing, and he just returned to Hengyang with some food and ammunition tonight.

"Dongjia, Hengyang has fought well in the past few days, our army has caused at least seven or eight thousand casualties to the Japanese army, and one brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army has been completely abolished, and another division has been replaced, but for Shi Niufeng, there is not much difference, in the past few days, the Japanese army has used poison gas three times, but it has not played any role, and then the use of poison gas has been abandoned." Jin Shan gave Jiang Cheng a brief introduction to the current battle situation, Jiang Cheng nodded again and again and said, "It seems that we fought well, how many casualties did our army have?" ”

Jin Shan replied: "Judging from the report this evening, the total number of casualties of our army has exceeded 5,000, and more than half of the casualties are due to the bombardment of the Japanese army's heavy artillery and aircraft. ”

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "The Japanese artillery is indeed a trouble, especially the heavy artillery, our army is not comparable, but as long as Shiniufeng is not lost, Hengyang will not be in danger." ”

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng asked again, "What about the reinforcements?" ”

Jin Shan smiled and said, "I haven't heard any news of reinforcements at all, but it's only the fifth day, so everyone is not in a hurry." ”

Jiang Cheng hummed for a moment and said, "There will be reinforcements, Jiang Intermediary will not give up here... Jiang Jingguo too. ”

-- Ganzhou

After Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian left, the generals in Jiang Jingguo's hands were only Ma Weilong, at this time Jiang Jingguo already had the dilemma that there were too few people available to him, although with the help of Jiang Cheng and Jiang Jingguo's open and covert, Jiang Jingguo's subordinates could be said to be full of talents, but there were few generals that Jiang Jingguo could trust, after all, most of the senior officers who could be used by him were Whampoa soldiers introduced by Jiang Jingguo, and most of these people were loyal to Jiang Jingguo instead of him Jiang Jingguo, which he had long understood. The prestige of others in the army is not enough, and it is okay to be a regiment commander, but the division commander does not have enough qualifications to support it.

Jiang Jingguo drank tea, looked at the letter on the table that had been turned over I don't know how many times, and was silent for a long time.

Sugar walks the stone for a thousand years of hatred, and Duoduo is reborn Jiangnan and cries. The dragon changed the cloud road to Zeguo, and the Central Plains was full of garden fields. Pengcheng played the Lanling song, and the heart of heaven has become a blessing pool. Sanyang locked the soldiers more than once, and the hundreds of troops were full of killing enemies. Qiankun has changed dramatically in the ancestral dragon land, and the destiny of heaven belongs to the five stars.

This prophetic poem has been in his hands for more than two years, the Nanjing Massacre, the explosion of Huayuankou, the victory of Lunan, the fire in Changsha... Everything has been prophesied, is the defense of Hengyang at this time the answer to this sentence of Sanyang?

Jiang Jingguo didn't understand the mystery, but it didn't affect his guess, he had already known from his conversation with Jiang Cheng that Jiang Baili had said in 1923, "There will be such a day in the future, we will fight against Japan, and the Jinpu and Jinghan roads will be occupied by the Japanese army." Our national defense should be based on Sanyang, that is, Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Hengyang. ”

At that time, when Jiang Jingguo learned this sentence in Jiang Cheng's mouth, he couldn't help himself, thinking that he had successfully deciphered a sentence in the prophecy, these days, he is so hopeful that this prophetic poem is true, Hengyang... We can't retreat any more, and if we retreat again, China will be completely torn apart.

"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door, Jiang Jingguo put away the paper, opened the door of the study, saw that it was Wang Sheng, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is something happening in Hengyang? ”

Wang Sheng shook his head and nodded and said, "It's indeed Hengyang, but it's not Hengyang, I just came back from Nanchang, this time it's a joint meeting between Commander Xue Yue and Gu Zhu with Commander, and there was a telephone speech at the meeting, which mainly means that the Japanese army has been blocked in Hengyang, and our army will have more than 20 days of repair time, and ordered our army to use these 20 days to revitalize the troops, gather forces, first relieve the siege of Hengyang, and then find an opportunity to counterattack, at the meeting, Commander Xue and Commander Gu decided to concentrate the first batch of two to three armies from Jinggangshan, Lianhuashan and other areas launched an attack on Hengyang, but the people in the military command at the meeting also said that the Japanese army had sent a division on the road waiting for our troops to go up, and it was impossible to simply get through, and they would definitely encounter strong resistance from the enemy. ”

"Isn't this nonsense!" Jiang Jingguo snorted, "The Japanese have been in battle for a long time, and they are not stupid, will they make us swagger forward?" So what do they say? ”

Wang Sheng continued: "In front of the commission's call, of course, it is incumbent on them, but I think that even if they really want to fight, I am afraid that they are more than enough and not enough, in fact, not only we are repairing, but the Japanese army is also repairing." I'm not optimistic about this battle, I'm afraid the loss of reinforcements will be even greater than in Hengyang City! ”

Jiang Jingguo shook his hand and said, "Hengyang must not be lost, there are still more than 20,000 people in our youth army, if you can't do it, pull them all up!" It's a pity that our strength is still too small..."

Speaking of this, Wang Sheng's eyes rolled a few times and said, "Actually, our youth army has Mr. Jiang here, there has always been no shortage of arms and armaments, ordinary soldiers can be recruited, and it is very simple to mix new and old and expand the army, and the real few are just low-level commanders." ”

Jiang Jingguo nodded and said, "That's right, I don't want to use those soldiers directly, you know, those people are indeed okay to fight, but they know too well how to protect themselves, and they can't be used at the real critical moment, qualified grassroots officers are the soul of a unit, where can I find so many grassroots officers?" ”

What Jiang Jingguo didn't say in his heart was that what he needed was someone who was truly loyal to him, not loyal to his father, after all, who knows what the future will be like.

Wang Sheng said in a low voice, "Commissioner, you have forgotten, there are still a large number of officers who have been hidden by us, those people are all good at fighting, and now that the situation has eased, we can say to the other side, let these people pull our troops up first, at least if Hengyang is really dangerous, we can let Commander Ma go to the front line, and the troops trained by these people will be the wonder soldiers of our youth army." ”

Jiang Jingguo's eyes lit up, he immediately knew who Wang Sheng was talking about, that is, those New Fourth Army who were protected by himself, now that the domestic situation has eased, no one knows about these people except for a few of his henchmen, as long as the senior commander is his own person, it doesn't matter if the middle and low-level commanders use these people, and they can also have a statement about Yan'an.

Jiang Jingguo thought about it and nodded, "Okay, you go and arrange this matter immediately, but the senior commander still has to use our own people, do you have any candidates?" ”

Wang Sheng thought for a while and said, "I know a person, it is Mr. Jiang who has been respected, his name is Sun Liren, this year is not confused, a native of Anhui, a high-achieving student who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, was the head of the tax police regiment during the Battle of Changsha, and it should be a member of the Song family in terms of faction, after the Battle of Changsha, his subordinates were basically exhausted, Song Ziwen is now sent to the United States to deal with diplomacy, he is naturally excluded, I also saw him in Nanchang this time, he is now a soldier without rank, it is the time to be down." ”

Jiang Jingguo also remembered that Jiang Cheng had indeed said about this person before, so he said, "Okay, then you go to him immediately, I will go and knock a telegram to the commission, and let him be the commander of the independent division of the Youth Army!" ”

Jiang Jingguo knew that Jiang Intermediary had always hoped that the relationship between him and the Kong and Song families would ease, and now that he wanted someone from the Song family, he was afraid that Jiang Intermediary would agree, so he didn't worry.

Wang Sheng nodded and retreated, Jiang Jingguo closed the door in the room, looked at the location of Hengyang on the map, and said slowly, "Hengyang... Sanyang locks... Let's hope it's true. ”

-- Hengyang

Toushan cautiously approached Hengyang No. 3 Middle School, that is, where Jiang Cheng was located, Toushan slowly poked his head out, looked at the heavily guarded middle school, and said to the agent next to him, "It should be here, you see, the guards here are equipped and dressed differently from the National Army, I'm afraid it's Jiang Cheng's personal army." ”

The agent next to him looked at it, nodded and said, "It looks like the security is very strong, how can we get in?" ”

Toushan waved his hand and said, "Let's take a look at it twice!" ”

Toushan felt that he was extremely careful, and he would never be found if he was far away, but on the tower, Li Qian slowly put down the binoculars, picked up the headphones he was wearing, and said, "All attention!" Attention all! There are rats! No. 8 protects the safety of No. 1, group 3 goes to area D to ambush, group 7 goes to area F to ambush, group 2 goes to area G to intercept, pay attention to concealment, don't shoot if you can, I command in the center! ”

After speaking, Li Qian continued to pick up the infrared telescope brought by Jiang Cheng from the afterlife, in the telescope, the movement of Toushan and others was clearly visible, and the three teams of guards quickly ran in an arc to the three sides of Toushan and others to do an encirclement movement, and when the three teams of guards were in place, Li Qian smiled slightly, operated the searchlight and said, "All personnel pay attention to my direction, prepare to arrest, three!" Two! One!! ”

When he said that, Li Qian turned on the searchlight with a snap, and Toushan, who was still lying on the roof, only felt a strong light, and his eyes flickered, and he knew that it was not good, and he was not sure whether it was discovered or not, so he lowered his head deadly, hoping that it was just a trick or a coincidence.

But what made Toushan desperate was that after a while, seven or eight searchlights were pointed at him, and he could clearly hear the enemy's footsteps and guns, he slowly raised his head, and kept telling himself to calm down.

Toushan said to the guards who had already walked in front of him: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstand! I was asked by Commander Li to protect everyone, I didn't expect it to be discovered so far away, it was really a misunderstanding! ”

As he spoke, Toushan was surprised to see a figure jumping down from the tower of the first searchlight, thinking that he was going to fall to his death, but he flew towards him like a light swallow, and after a while, he came to him, this was actually a woman!

Li Qian looked at Toushan, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and slapped her head and said, "You.. You, you, you.. Are you the Japanese who attacked Sister Yu in Shanghai last time? ”

Toushan looked at Li Qian, he didn't expect to meet someone he knew, he looked at the bunch of guns facing him, thought about it, and simply admitted, his body changed to a standing posture commonly used by the Japanese, bowed to Li Qian and said, "Contemptible Toushan Geming, I came to see His Excellency Jiang Cheng on the order of General Itagaki Seishiro of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and asked Mr. to inform him."
