CHAPTER XLIV

When the last rays of the sunset faded into the sky, the battle was over.

Originally, Jiang Fangzhen planned to live and the fighting would not stop, but he found that this idea was indeed very unrealistic, and the quality of the soldiers of the Chinese warlords' troops was so poor that they could not command them to continue fighting at night.

What's even more terrifying is that at night, many soldiers have night blindness, they can't see the road ahead clearly, and the bullets don't know where they go, so Jiang Fangzhen had to ask the soldiers to stop attacking temporarily.

And just as he announced his retreat, the soldiers who were surrounded by themselves actually took advantage of the situation to reclaim the trenches that they had just taken down.

The flag embroidered with the tiger was even more at the forefront, constantly pressing Jiang Fangzhen's defensive line, and Jiang Fangzhen had to reinforce the encircling troops after the last day.

The commander on the opposite side also seemed to realize that his soldiers were extremely tired, so he stopped the endless counterattack.

The bright red flag was still fluttering in the night, and Jiang Fangzhen even doubted that he could hear the sound of the tiger flag being blown by the wind.

Singing, the more difficult it is, the more you don't give up your desire for life, and it is the sweetest to win in the most difficult situations.

"I am a soldier, from the common people. Defeat Wu Peifu and eliminate Sun bandits. The voice was very high-pitched, and it reached the ears of Sun Chuanfang's subordinates, but it was a different charm.

Jiang Fangzhen frowned, he also wanted his soldiers to sing, but his soldiers had no morale at all, and he didn't have anyone who could write this kind of song, you listen, I am a soldier, from the old people.

Although the lyrics are simple, doesn't it also show that the people are on the side of the Northern Expeditionary Army? And if he wants to fight the warlords, isn't it the people who want to fight us?

Jiang Fangzhen had no choice but to walk back to the headquarters depressedly, and the colonel officer who had just been captured today was still imprisoned.

Jiang Fangzhen looked at the young officer carefully, there was dinner in front of him, Jiang Fangzhen did not engage in privileges, everyone was pickles and nests.

Obviously, these are a challenge for this young officer, he vomited directly on the ground after taking the first bite, this kind of scene Jiang Fangzhen often sees, because of logistics and other reasons, many nests are spoiled, but Jiang Fangzhen does not think this is a thing, because when he was in school in Japan, this kind of food was often a luxury.

"Why, Colonel, you're used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and our food is not to your liking." Jiang Fangzhen took a bite of the nest, put the pickles in his mouth, and ate them deliciously.

Guan Linzheng picked up the nest head that had just fallen on the ground, blew it, and ate the whole nest without even moving the pickles, without looking at Jiang Fangzhen from beginning to end.

Jiang Fangzhen glanced at Jiang Fangzhen in disbelief, he had heard that the Southern Army was very wealthy, and everything from officers to soldiers was rice, he never thought that this young officer would be able to eat the spoiled nest so happily.

He looked closely at the colonel in front of him, and it was obvious that the young colonel had been abused by his own men while he was at the front commanding the troops, and at least he could see the bruises on his forehead.

Although the whole person looked decadent, he could see the sword eyebrows rising on the young colonel's forehead, and the righteousness in his heart.

Jiang Fangzhen understood at this moment that the young colonel had not yet given up his desire for victory.

"Do you know the truth? More than 2,000 of your men are surrounded by water, and they will go to heaven by tomorrow at the latest. Jiang Fangzhen said to Guan Linzheng with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, this is the biggest joke I've heard recently, today I heard the earth-shattering explosion in Nanchang City, and I even suspect that the ammunition under your hands is not yet two bases."

Guan Linzheng shook the nest head in his hand and continued to say to Jiang Fangzhen, "There is also this thing, the ancients said that if you don't have enough food, you won't be beautiful." You just give the soldiers to eat this, point the soldiers to fight for you, and attack the third division that eats canned food, do you think this is possible? Guan Linzheng said with a sneer, to Jiang Fangzhen, who was full of confidence.

"Back then, Wu Peifu was poor and white, defeated Zhang Zuolin and Feng Yuxiang, and the soldiers ate tree bark every day, and they were still able to drive away Cao Kun, which shows that the more difficult it is, the more they can hone the will of the soldiers." Jiang Fangzhen said with a frown. Because he found that the colonel's eyes in front of him were even more disdainful.

"Mr. Jiang Fangzhen, let's do it, you get me a delicious meal, and when you are captured by our division commander, I will ask him to be nice to you." Guan Linzheng had a wicked smile on his face.

"Hehe, in this case, you still have the heart to joke, I don't have good food, there are a lot of bullets when they arrive, and they are all prepared for you. Take it down! Jiang Fangzhen was extremely depressed at the moment, he was going to find some self-confidence, but he didn't expect that he was despised by a young little colonel, which made him feel even worse.

Although it was dark, Jiang Fangzhen still couldn't sleep, he left the command headquarters and personally went to the front line to inspect that most of the soldiers were lying on the ground, or snatched the door panel from the people's homes and used them as beds, which should have been managed, but the law does not blame the public, and many times, Jiang Fangzhen has no way even if he is on behalf of Sun Chuanfang.

The singing on the opposite side had been going on, and at this time, he smelled the smell of rice wafting from the opposite position. In this case, he actually smelled the beef.

"Could it be that the powerful combat power on the other side is really related to the so-called food?" Jiang Fangzhen has been the principal for half his life, and for the first time in half his life, the chief of staff has doubts.

The soldiers surrounding the enemy army were lying in the trench as if they were going to die, constantly sucking saliva and touching their stomachs, which looked like a little war, Jiang Fangzhen even suspected that as long as the other side gave them a piece of meat, they would dare to let the enemy pass.

"Commander-in-chief, will the other side send reinforcements to break through this lone army?" The commander of the 18th Division encountered Jiang Fangzhen in the process of inspecting that something was wrong, and in order to curry favor with Jiang Fangzhen, he proposed to strengthen the defense.

"No need, now they are also surrounded by us in Niuxing, the smart commander at this time, the commander chose to stick to the rescue, they rushed out and these people went back, first, they rescued Lu and were still surrounded, and second, as long as they left the Niuhang position, they were in danger of being annihilated by us, so they didn't dare." Jiang Fangzhen said confidently.

When Jiang Fangzhen was extremely confident in speaking to the commander of the 18th Division, he heard the sound of "popping" gunshots.

The soldiers in the encirclement suddenly stopped singing, threw down the food in their hands, held their guns, and looked nervously at Sun Chuanfang's troops.

Jiang Fangzhen smiled and said, "Whose soldiers are doing a good job, tired of the enemy, the possibility of our victory will be even higher at that time." ”

Just when Jiang Fangzhen praised his soldiers, the crackling gunfire did not stop, but got closer and closer, and then he actually heard the sound of grenades, "Report to the chief of staff, it's not good, reinforcements, reinforcements everywhere, our position is torn apart." The communications soldier said anxiously.

After the communication soldier had just finished speaking, a flashbang actually rose into the air, illuminating the world, and Jiang Fangzhen could clearly see that it was the defenders of Niuxing who came to attack.

And Liu Yuan, who led the troops, also saw clearly that it was Jiang Fangzhen who led the team in the place, the bullet hit out in an instant, and with a snap, the bullet hit Jiang Fangzhen's chest, Jiang Fangzhen looked at the blood that came out, his smile was helpless at the moment, he tried his best, but what could he do.
