At two o'clock in the morning, Peng Zhancun spent two hours processing all the telegrams, and the troops of the 11th Division, under the order of the division commander Peng Shan, launched a defense on the spot according to the plan.

"Director Peng, the staff officer of the 33rd Brigade is waiting for you in the war room"

A guard reported to Peng Zhancun that the division commander Peng Shangang was lying down, and Peng Zhancun was on duty tonight.

"Well, the first battalion of the sixty-second regiment will be taken out first, especially the first company."

After Peng Zhancun sat down, he went straight to the point, the telegram in his hand had been pinched for more than two hours, and he hadn't returned yet.

"All the circumstances of the sixty-second regiment are here, this is the situation of the first battalion, our men buried a lot of the corpses of the brothers who died in the first battalion, the nameplates of the soldiers were all brought back, according to the roster comparison, basically all of them were killed in battle, including the first company; There were probably more than a dozen of the brothers in the first battalion, including those who had been taken to the rear hospitals, unidentified and missing. ”

The staff officer sorted out the report, like Peng Zhancun's report.

"Is there a list?" asked Peng Zhancun.

"Yes"

The staff officers who came were very well prepared, and nearly two hours of time was enough for them to prepare a lot of materials, not to mention that these things were ready-made, and they only needed to sort them out.

"Director, there are a total of five unidentified bodies and seven missing. It's all here."

The staff officer took out a piece of paper from the information and handed it to Peng Zhancun.

Acting company commander Zhao Liang, soldiers Min Fei, Chen Hua, and Feng Yi

Looking at the names on the list, Peng Zhancun recalled the telegram in his mind, walked to the combat map, and compared the distance and route.

"Probably one of us."

Peng Zhancun muttered.

"You leave the materials and go back" Peng Zhancun called a division staff officer over, and then strode out of the war room.

"Commander, have you slept?"

Peng Zhancun shouted softly, if Peng Shan fell asleep, he didn't plan to forcibly wake him up, it was not too important to send a message, and it would be okay to report it tomorrow.

"Didn't sleep, come in"

Peng Shan's tired voice sounded.

"Division commander, there is a telegram, please decide" Peng Zhancun handed over the telegram.

"I have checked with the brothers of the 33rd Brigade who cleaned up the battlefield, there was indeed a battle here, most of the first battalion was killed here, there were five unidentified and seven missing, and the people on this telegram are on the missing list."

Peng Zhancun said the situation, when Peng Shan read the message.

"Did you call back," Peng Shan asked, putting down the telegram.

"Before I received the telegram, I asked the 33rd Brigade to sort out the materials, and the materials had just been delivered."

Peng Zhancun explained.

"Call back immediately and tell them that we will immediately send someone to verify and let them make sure that these people's lives are safe. Remember, make sure your life is safe. ”

Peng Shan gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Also, let the commander of the guard battalion gather the team"

Peng Shan ordered when Peng Zhancun turned around.

"Yes"

Peng Zhancun left, and Peng Shan stood up and began to put on his military uniform and equipment.

"Commander, you are"

Peng Zhancun didn't need to send the telegram, he only needed to write the telegram and sign it, and Peng Zhancun, who returned soon, looked at Peng Shan, who was neatly dressed, and was a little surprised.

"Director Peng, the signature of this telegram is the Political Training Office of the 16th Division, what kind of organization is that, you know what kind of organization I will go to in person, if it is not our people, it will be regarded as a walk; If it's our people, I'll have to bring them back alive. ”

Peng Shan said.

"Division Commander, you are the backbone of the 11th Division, go to the 16th Division to ask for someone, what if something happens here, just send someone"

Peng Zhancun persuaded.

"It won't be long before I look at the map, it's less than six kilometers, ride over, it's an hour away, and before dawn, I'll definitely be back"

Peng Shan pointed to the map and said.

"Division commander, now the devil's plainclothes team is out of nowhere, and the first battalion is a vivid example, what if something happens along the way, you have to think twice."

Peng Zhancun continued to persuade.

"You won't report my trip to the Sixteenth Division to Commander Luo," Peng Shan looked at Peng Zhancun with suspicious eyes.

"Division commander, where is the duty of the lowly duty, I'm sorry"

Obviously, Peng Zhancun didn't intend to hide it for Peng Shan, so he refused with a wry smile.

"You"

Peng Shan wanted to scold.

"Report, the guard battalion has assembled."

While the two were at a stalemate, the report of the commander of the guard battalion came from the door.

"Battalion Commander Zhao, you take a platoon to the Political Training Office of the 16th Division, how many people do you know on the list?"

Peng Zhancun handed over a piece of paper, which was the confirmation list sent by the Political Training Office.

"I've only seen Feng Yi, but I've seen it in a military prison, so I should be able to recognize it"

The guard battalion commander thought about it for a long time, and seemed to only have a little impression of Feng Jie, because Feng Jie's name once appeared in the mouth of the division commander Peng Shan, so he paid a little attention to it.

"That's okay, if there is indeed Feng Ye in it, bring them back alive. Go for it."

Peng Zhancun looked at the stunned division commander and gave an order for Peng Shan.

"Wait"

Peng Shan stopped Camp Commander Zhao who was going through.

"Division Commander" Battalion Commander Zhao turned to Peng Shan and stared at the division commander's lips, is there a new order

"Teacher, think twice"

Peng Zhancun's voice was full of persuasion, he didn't want Peng Shan to leave his post and leave his troops without permission during the war, that would be a violation of military law Ah The Battle of Songhu is obviously unfavorable now, and he doesn't want the 11th Division to become a scapegoat because of this matter.

"I know, Director Peng" Peng Shan's face was obviously unwilling.

"Follow me"

Peng Shan walked out first, followed by his guard battalion commander.

"When you go, take a company with you, all equipped with fast and slow machines, and bring enough ammunition. If it's really the people on the list, bring them all back alive for me; You're dealing with the military commanders, and those people are unreasonable."

Peng Shan sighed and explained to his guard battalion commander.

"Teacher, if it's our own brothers, do they really want to let them go?"

Battalion Commander Zhao asked cautiously, for soldiers, the last resort is to meet each other by force.

"I look at it myself, I only need people, living people, and bring people back, even if they move their guns, when they go to the Military Commission, labor and management are not afraid, but if people die, there is no need"

Peng Shan sighed, he really hoped that those people were his missing brothers, but he was afraid that they were those brothers.

"Hey, I didn't die on the battlefield, I died at the hands of the military commander, how can I explain to the brothers of the whole division." Peng Shan thought to himself.

In fact, he wanted to go over in person in order to deal with the follow-up matters, after all, there were too many things that needed to be judged on the spot, and the brothers of the guard battalion went, if it was really his own brother and was killed by the military commander, I am afraid that the news could not be covered at all, and the natural hostility between the soldiers and the military commander would make the 11th Division explode in an instant.
