Wang Yaowu returned to the 5th Peibu with a black face.

Seeing Wang Yaowu's face, Deputy Division Commander Li Tianxia, Chief of Staff Liu Zengyao, and 15L Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao knew that Wang Yaowu had just been trained by Yu Jishi again, and Wang Yaowu did not please Yu Jishi, which was no secret at all in the 74th Army, because Yu Jishi's preferred successor to the commander was Feng Shengfa instead of Wang Yaowu.

Therefore, since the Military Commission directly appointed Wang Yaowu as the deputy commander of the 74th Army, Yu Jishi picked his nose and eyes at Wang Yaowu, and he could catch the training for half a day.

This time, Wang Yaowu came to the door and took the initiative to ask Ying to take the lead in the main attack, but was caught and scolded by Yu Jishi for a long time.

Seeing Wang Yaowu sullen, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 305th Regiment, stood up and said loudly: "Division, I heard that the attack on the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan was not smooth, the 4th Army, the 8th Army, the 64th Army and the UU Army took turns to attack for two days and nights, with countless casualties, but they did not even break through the outer defense line of Little Japan, and there was a mistake on the Xingzi side, and the battle situation was so unfavorable, presumably Commander-in-Chief Xue was also anxious at the moment, so it was better to ask Commander-in-Chief Xue directly." ”

Li Tianxia, Liu Zengyao and Zhou Zhidao all looked at Wang Yaowu, Yu Jishi did not wait to see the officers and soldiers of the 5th Pei, but they could not watch the opportunity slip away, if they could not fight a beautiful battle in Wanjialing this time, the 5th Pei would probably sit on the infamy of fearing the enemy and avoiding the war, and Wang Yaowu would also be removed

Wang Yaowu was a little hesitant, bypassing the military department and asking Xue Yue directly, that is, he offended Yu Jishi to death, but Wang Yaowu thought about it, instead of shrinking back and staring, it would be better to win, even if he couldn't succeed, it would be a big deal, and no matter how bad it was, it would not be worse than now, because Yu was waiting for Zuihou to be removed from his post.

"Chief of Staff." Wang Yaowu looked back at Liu Zengyao, Liu Zengyao quickly took out his notebook and took out a pen, ready to record the message dictated by Wang Yaowu.

(Dividing Line)

Xue Yue already had a basic prediction of the situation after the loss of East and West Guling.

At present, Xingzi only has the 10th Pei Regiment of small Japan, and he has suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, which is not enough to take on the heavy task of cutting diagonally from Mahuiling and responding to the 10th Pei Regiment, so Okamura Ningji will inevitably increase his troops, and the closest to Xingzi is the Hatian detachment stationed in Jiujiang, except for the Hatian detachment, which has to be transferred from Anqing or Nanjing.

Whether it is the transfer of the Hatian detachment in Jiujiang to Xingzi, or the transfer of troops from Anqing and Nanjing, it cannot be completed in a short time, and it will take three days to prepare, to say the l, the national army has at least three days, as long as it eats the small Japanese lUU division within three days, Okamura Ningji can only admit it.

With such a basic prediction, Xue Yue's attention returned to the Wanjialing battlefield.

Xue Yue was also extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the 4th Army, the 8th Army, the 64th Army and the UU Army on the Wanjialing battlefield, and the four armies and nine divisions with 100,000 men and horses surrounded the more than 10,000 remnants of the small Japanese army for two days and one night.

"Chief of Staff, it's not okay to fight like this." Xue Yue frowned and said, "It must be prioritized." ”

Wu Yizhi said: "General seat, the same is the meaning of lowly duties, it is best to choose a unit to take the lead in the main attack." ”

Xue Yue snorted, and then said, "What does the chief of staff mean, which unit should be in charge of the main attack?" ”

"This is a telegram from Wang Yaowu just now." Wu Yizhi took out a telegram and handed it to Xue Yue, and said, "There is a way to be ashamed and brave, the 5th Pei's previous performance was indeed not very good, and he was suspected of cowardice and avoiding the war, but judging from the telegram, Wang Yaowu was very determined this time, and he thought that he could ⊥give them a try." ”

Wu Yizhi suggested that Wang Yaowu should be the main attacker in the 15th Pei, but there is actually another consideration.

Previously, Feng Shengfa's 58th Division defended Wanjialing, and fought extremely hard in the face of the east-west flank attack of the two small Japanese master regiments, Xue Yue did not let the 18th Pei of the Guangdong Army join the battlefield until Zuihou, which was undoubtedly extremely unfair to the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division, Xue Yue was not only suspected of deliberately consuming the 58th Division, but also suspected of letting the 18th Pei pick peaches on the ground.

Although Xue Yue has a clear conscience, he considers the problem from a tactical point of view, and has no selfishness, but it is also an indisputable fact that the emotions of the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division have been hurt, so now letting Wang Yaowu's 5th Pei take the lead in the main attack can be regarded as a kind of compensation, after all, the 5th Pei and the 58th Division belong to the same 74th Army.

"Then let the 5th Pei Shang." Xue Yue made the final decision.

(Dividing Line)

After receiving the order, the officers and men of the 5th Pei immediately began to mobilize their troops and prepare for a decisive battle with little Japan.

The garrison of the 58th Division is a different scene, even if it is not miserable and miserable, but it is not much better, especially because of the lack of medical treatment, the more than 500 remnants of the soldiers who were just withdrawn from the Wanjialing battlefield yesterday, dozens of them died of serious injuries and died forever, they did not fall on the battlefield, but fell on the cold and damp station.

A small jeep imported from Germany stopped at the gate of the 19th Brigade station, and when the door opened, a middle-aged man wearing a wide-brimmed top hat and a silk robe as a housekeeper outfit walked down, and saw that a large group of people were waiting at the gate of the station, so the middle-aged man hurriedly walked around the jeep and took off his top hat and bowed slightly to Xu 19, who was beating his head.

This middle-aged man is the housekeeper of Foreign Minister Wang Honghui's family, and he came to pick up Li Zihan to Nanchang.

Xu Shijiu didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man, just leaned down to look at Li Zihan on the stretcher, and said, "Zihan, my good brother, take care all the way." ”

Li Zihan is unlucky, the battle of Wanjialing has come to an end, but at the moment of zuihou in order to save Xu Shijiu, he let Xiao Japan stab him, but Li Zihan is lucky, because he has a fiancée with a family and background, Wang Yulan even specially prepared a first-aid medicine box for him, and it has been kept secretly by Cao Jiao, it is because of this medicine box that Li Zihan was able to save his life, so that he can survive until now, and have the opportunity to transfer to Nanchang for medical treatment.

"Captain, take care too." Li Zihan raised his right hand with difficulty and saluted.

Hu Jie, Lu Jianbang, Black Blind, Wang Yidao and other veterans who survived a hundred battles came over one by one to shake hands with Li Zihan and say goodbye, their expressions were full of reluctance, although no one said it explicitly, but everyone knew that after Li Zihan left this time, I was afraid that it would be impossible to return to the 19th Brigade, and when he appeared again, he would probably be the commander of the Military Commission.

Zuihou finally had Gao Shenxing's turn, Li Zihan looked at Gao Shenxing standing in front of the stretcher, and said: "Old Gao, although I don't agree with many of your remarks, I must admit that you are a real soldier, and I admire you." As he spoke, Li Zihan stretched out his right hand to Gao Shenxing with difficulty

Gao Shenxing stretched out his right hand and shook Li Zihan tightly, and said: "Zihan, you are also a good person, when I quarreled with you, I really wanted to use tape to seal your mouth, but when the quarrel is over, I must also admit that you are a person with a firm belief in faith, you believe in the first prime minister's belief in the Three People's Principles, and you are also extremely sincere to the party and the state, which is very good." ”

Li Zihan grinned and said, "I hope we will have a chance to meet zaijian in the future." ”

"Definitely." Gao Shenxing said firmly, "Believe me, we will definitely meet in the future." ”

Li Zihan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said softly: "If there is really that day, I hope it will still be on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, not on the battlefield of the civil war, I really don't want to face you with swords." ”

Gao Shenxing looked back, the closest to them were ten meters away, and no one should be able to hear the conversation between the two, and then asked: "You are so sure, I will definitely defect to the Communist Party one day?" ”

Li Zihan chuckled and said, "If you are still willing to join the national army, I will naturally be extremely happy." ”

Gao Shenxing didn't pick up the stubble, just stood up slowly, turned around and left, and when he walked out more than ten steps away, he suddenly turned around and looked back at Li Zihan, and said seriously: "Zihan, no matter what happens in the future, in my Gao Shenxing's heart, I always regard you Li Zihan as a brother, a brother in life and death, I won't and can't, aim the gun at my brother."

Looking at the back of Gao Shenxing, Li Zihan silently said to himself in his heart, I too, no matter whether you join the Communist Party in the future or not, you will always be my brother.
