Zhang Zuolin walked to the window and saw the snowflakes fluttering outside, the snow was so big...... It's snowing heavily! Zhang Zuolin slapped his bald head, laughed, put on a dogskin hat and ran out, and said in ecstasy: "Adjutant, adjutant, call me the eighth master and the chief of staff, there is help, we are saved!" ”

For the Feng army, this heavy snow came too timely, and for Heiji Jun, this heavy snow came at an inopportune time, this goose feather snow was a day and a night, half a meter deep.

Although the Heiji army was fully prepared, it did not expect such a heavy snowfall, most of the cars were lying on their stomachs, and they couldn't drive, and all the commanders were sad, and the number of frostbitten people in the army would increase every day.

Wang Maoru slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "Grandma, God is also against us." ”

Ma Liang hurriedly picked up the kettle poured on the table and persuaded: "Xiu Shuai is angry, angry." ”

Guo Songling said: "Xiushuai, so far, I can only fight hard." ”

"Hard fighting?" Wang Maoru looked at him, in fact, until now, Guo Songling's advocacy on the side has played a great role, Guo Songling advocated using thunderous means to defeat Fengtian, Wang Maoru also implemented according to his battle plan and strategy, and almost won the victory, but he didn't want to be stumped by a heavy snowfall.

Guo Songling's eyes widened and said, "Xiushuai, if you withdraw your troops at this time, your previous efforts will be wasted, and your previous achievements will be wasted." Now our army is more than 100,000 people, and the full army in Shenyang City is not more than 40,000 people, and nearly half of them are still strong men who were temporarily pulled, if our army can capture Shenyang City within three days, then ......"

"Three days?" Wang Maoru smiled bitterly. "Can you take it in three days?"

"If the three armies are killed, it should be." Guo Songling said.

Wang Maoru asked: "How many days has it snowed this heavily?" ”

Guo Songling said embarrassedly: "I heard that it will be another day and a night." ”

"Another day? Today, it is already half a meter deep, and if the snow reaches one meter deep tomorrow, how can our soldiers attack the city, they will be exhausted when they run to the city. Wang Maoru said with a dejected face crying.

"Yes...... But ......" Guo Songling felt that Wang Mao had a plan to withdraw his troops, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Dashuai." If the troops are withdrawn at this time, the morale will be greatly damaged, and I am afraid that it will be affected later. ”

"I don't know." Wang Maoru said helplessly. "If the snow stops tomorrow morning, it will barely be able to attack the city, and if it is tomorrow the next day. We have no choice but to withdraw. ”

Guo Songling was also very helpless, at this time other officers no longer supported Guo Songling's siege plan, Wang Maoru then ordered the division commanders to appease the soldiers, if the snow continues to fall tomorrow, the whole army will withdraw and return to Changchun, if the snow stops tomorrow, then prepare for the last fight, desperately attack the city.

The division commanders gladly accepted the order and went back to assign tasks, and everyone heard the arrangement of the commander-in-chief. Immediately relieved, the chief did not insist on attacking the city in a frenzy, that's good, that's good.

Wang Maoru sighed when he saw the division commanders leaving. He said to himself: "Could it be that the sky is really going to kill me? Heaven is going to kill me? ”

Guo Songling walked in from outside, sat next to Wang Maoru, and said in a low voice: "Xiu Shuai." ”

"How?"

"Does Xiu Shuai blame me?"

Wang Maoru said: "No, you are a staff officer, if you don't dare to think about it, why should I still have a staff officer." You're right. If we lose this battle, we can only say that we have lost to God and Tianshi. When Zhuge Liang invaded the Central Plains seven times, wasn't he also defeated by Tianshi? Zhuge Liang attacked the Central Plains seven times, and we only fought Fengtian. You Guo Maochen, Zhiqing, Baili, if the three of you were placed in ancient times, they were all wise and brave generals like Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, do you still need seven punishments for your wisdom? Next time, don't be discouraged. If you lose this battle, it will be mine, not you. You have done what a staff officer should do, and I have also shouldered the responsibility that my commander-in-chief should bear. ”

Guo Songling said gratefully: "Thank you Xiushuai for excusing me." ”

"It's not to excuse you." Wang Maoru said, "You don't have to blame yourself, I don't blame you at this time, blame God, God may not be able to see me so smooth." By the way, Mao Chen, you can prepare later, even if we leave, we can't go in vain, take away all the qiē that belongs to the government around Shenyang City, and don't leave any things from the Fengtian government anywhere you go, even soy sauce bottles. Grandma's, I'm really unwilling not to take something away, by the way, is there a coal mine nearby? Move the miner for me. ”

"Xiushuai, that thing is thousands of pounds." Guo Songling saw that Wang Mao looked like a bandit, and smiled.

Wang Maoru said: "What's wrong with a few thousand catties, move them away, don't even leave a screw for him Lao Zhang, let him cry to death, poor to death." ”

This night, many people did not sleep, Zhang Zuolin and Wang Maoru both looked out the window, but the difference is that Wang Maoru was looking forward to the snow stopping, and Zhang Zuolin was looking forward to the snow going down.

At this time, it depends on God, God will unify the Northeast, or the Northeast will continue to split.

Zhang Zuolin sat in the house, looking at the university outside, he specially asked people to install many headlights in the courtyard, shining all night, he had to watch the snowflakes fall with his own eyes to feel at ease.

"Dad, be careful of catching a cold." Zhang Xueliang, the sixth son, put on a cotton robe for Zhang Zuolin, and feeling his son's concern, Zhang Zuolin said: "Little sixth son, let's take a look at the snow scene today." ”

"Yes, Dad." Zhang Xueliang also put on a cotton robe and stood beside Zhang Zuolin, who had always been pampered, suddenly understood a lot at this time.

With his son on the side, Lao Zhang smiled and said, "We are here, how to say something, what ......is it?"

"Father and son are concentric, and their profits are golden!"

"Yes, yes, that's it." Zhang Zuolin smiled heartily.

Zhang Xueliang said: "Dad, Uncle Wang really doesn't leave us a way to live?" ”

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said: "He will never leave half a face, your father's old face, it is not good to use it at this time (Northeast Liaoyang dialect pronunciation: It is not good to die after the thief temple. Forehead...... What I want to say is that Liaoning dialect is the funniest in Northeast dialect, and Jilin and Heilongjiang are too close to Mandarin but not funny). Even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't do it under his four King Kongs and thirteen Taibao. ”

Zhang Xueliang said: "Otherwise, let's fight with them." Dad, the fish is dead! ”

Zhang Zuolin smiled in surprise: "You stinky boy, fight a ball, how can you get back to your original cost if you fight it out?" You have to have the capital to gamble, who will gamble with you if you don't have money? ”

"If I don't have any money, I'll gamble with my life." Zhang Xueliang said.

"Life? Human life is greater than the destiny of heaven, if this snow stops, God will not let us live. If this snow doesn't stop. God won't let them live. Zhang Zuolin sighed and instructed the adjutant, "Go, get some peanuts." Get some wine for the two of us, come, little six. Let's just chatter over a little wine. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.

"Do you remember, when you were seven years old, it was also such a heavy snowfall, I was chased and killed by the enemy, I sat on the horse, you sat in front of me, and I was not afraid at all." Zhang Zuolin recalled, shook his head, and said: "Your mother is hiding in Tibet, and I lost the battle at that time. It was almost over, and it was our two who survived at that time. ”

"Not really." Zhang Xueliang said excitedly, reminiscing about the past years with his father.

The sky was still snowing, and the figure could not be seen from a distance, and Wang Maoru walked around in the tent. Although there was a stove burning in the tent, it still couldn't stop the cold. Wang Maoru simply put on a cloak and walked out, Qiao Sanbang hurriedly took the guards to Gulai, and said, "Xiushuai, you are ......"

"I'll go." Wang Maoru said, "Don't follow." ”

"That's not going to work." Qiao Sanbang puffed out his chest and said categorically, "I am the head of the guards." My task is to protect Xiushuai, and if you don't let me protect you, you can simply remove me. ”

"You stubborn donkey." Wang Maoru scolded with a smile, "Then accompany me to see the soldiers, whose army is in the west?" ”

"To the west is the 24th Brigade of the Eighth Division." Adjutant Ma Liang said.

"Twenty-four Brigades? The brigade that Shang Er was stunned for? ”

"Yes."

"Let's go, let's see."

The 24th Brigade is not an elite infantry brigade, but Shang Yuanqing is famous for almost crippling Wu Junsheng in the first battle, but he is angry because he is required to retreat. However, after coming back, he also reflected on it, if he really fought over, Wu Junsheng would have run away a long time ago, and Tang Yulin would not have been slashed by the Cossack cavalry. The 1st and 2nd Mixed Brigades of the Feng Army were outflanked by the 10th and 11th Divisions, and in the end less than 3,000 men ran back to Shenyang.

The crunching sound of stepping on the snow is a bit special in the quiet of the night, but the sound is not far away on such a snowy day. When he reached the 24th Brigade, the sentry raised his gun and shouted: "Stop, password." ”

The personal guard Bai Ziqing shouted: "This is the big handsome, you are blind." ”

"Don't fuck nonsense, no password, don't say that the handsome man is here, even if my father comes, he has to freeze me for a night!"

"Yo hey, this kid is not bad." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Bai Ziqing shouted again: "You really don't want to open it?" ”

"No, I don't."

"Damn, I'm going to have to scold you when your chief comes."

"He scolded me for his business, you don't have a password, take another step forward and I'll shoot."

"If you have the guts, you shoot."

I only heard the sound of pulling the bolt from above, and then shouted: "Attention the first row!" Attention 2nd row! Attention 3rd row! Ready, machine gun alignment! Warning, one step further, the bullets are waiting. ”

Wang Maoru said: "Ma Liang, the right password." ”

Adjutant Ma Liang shouted at the top: "Password: Bright moonlight in front of the bed!" ”

"Order: Two pairs of shoes on the ground!"

"A pair of dog men and women!"

"You're one of them!"

"Okay, put away the gun, the password is correct." The guards of the 24th Brigade shouted, and there was a burst of guns.

Ma Liang Qiao Sanbang and the others couldn't hold back their fun, but then they couldn't help it, laughed, Ma Liang's stomach hurt with laughter, and said, "Dashuai, why did you give such a password...... What a ......."

Wang Maoru said strangely: "Is there anything wrong with this password?" It's easy to understand, and it also comes with a secondary verification code. ”

Ma Liang scratched his head, not knowing what this second-level verification code was, but this password was really ...... It's really unelegant! Wang Maoru said: "Well, in order to add a little fun to the boring life of the barracks, you don't understand my good intentions." Ma Liang and the others were speechless......
