The criminal artillery fire began to cease, and the smoke began to dissipate secretly, leaving only hundreds of cold corpses lying on the North Gate position. Maybe they weren't alone, because they were surrounded by their comrades and enemies.

"Where do people go when they die?"

"Dust up. Talking about hell and heaven, the afterlife and this life, it is just a kind of yearning for people, the fear of death. ”

"But I believe in the soul, and so do the soldiers of the National Army who died today. People have souls, and armies have military souls. They don't have such a military spirit, and this battle won't be so fierce today. ”

After dinner, the troops were resting in a corner of the village. Shao Fei and Yang Hongtao were talking boringly, this was also their leisure time.

At this time, the pillar ran over and reported: "The division headquarters ordered, let us immediately evacuate this war zone and go to the south bank of the canal to rest and wait." Also, without an order from the division headquarters, it is not allowed to take the initiative to attack. ”

"Damn, they really treated us like their soldiers. There were so many devils in front, but we went to the south bank to watch the play. ”

Yang Hongtao couldn't figure it out and complained, but Shao Fei saw a clue. Maybe those people in Xuzhou decided that he was from the future world, even if they were unsure, even if there was a possibility, they didn't want to risk dying on the battlefield.

Yang Hongtao couldn't figure it out, and the division commander Chi Fengcheng couldn't figure it out. Now, he has started scolding his mother at the headquarters.

"His grandmother's, such a good new force has to be transferred to the rear, what do the officers and masters in the command think!? Didn't they care about the Communist Party the most, how did they change to protect them? ”

This afternoon, Chi Fengcheng sent Shao Fei to support the Northwest City. After the Xuzhou headquarters got the news, they immediately sent a telegram asking him to withdraw Shao Fei and reprimanded him, which made Chi Fengcheng even more angry.

A staff adjutant on the side said: "Maybe Xuzhou has his plan, and wants this vital army to stay at the end, as the last guarantee for Taierzhuang."

Chi Fengcheng waved his hand and said, "Bullshit! Look at it, tomorrow the West Gate position will not be guaranteed, and the day after tomorrow will be the East Gate. The Japanese army occupies two-thirds of Taierzhuang, and how long can the South Gate position be held. Pass my order, transfer the artillery battalion, and reinforce the West Gate with all your strength tomorrow, and the West Gate position must not be lost. Now that the Japanese army has gained a foothold at the North Gate, it will come to the real tomorrow. ”

Xuzhou's protection of Shao Fei in this way is not what Li Zongren meant. Since Liu Ying was secretly sent away, Bai Chongxi and Dai Li knew that they had been startled.

Originally, they wanted to transfer Shao Fei back to Xuzhou and immediately put him under house arrest, but Li Zongren refused. He doesn't care who Shao Fei is, he is the commander of the Fifth War Zone, and he just wants to win this battle. Later, the two sides reached a compromise agreement and transferred Shao Fei to the southern line of the canal, so that he could enjoy the scenery of the canal.

From the east mouth of the mighty Weishan Lake, a meandering river winds eastward, flows through the vast land of southern Lunan into the middle canal of Jiangsu, which is the Taierzhuang Canal.

The 42.5-kilometer-long Taierzhuang Canal is the only section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that flows completely east-west.

In this important town in southern Lunan, the canal not only brought a thousand years of economic prosperity, created the wonder of the city that never sleeps in the ten-mile harbor, but also left the only remaining ancient canal section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the "Moon River Ancient Road".

The Taierzhuang Canal is known as the "living canal", and its historical style is not comparable to other places. The so-called "Moon River Ancient Road" is a 3-kilometer-long section of the river that flows through the ancient Taierzhuang City, and is also called "Moon River" because of its shape like a crescent moon.

Yang Hongtao picked up the stone and shook it hard, and complained: "I came to see the scenery of the Moon River again, the national army is playing with us, right?"

Shao Fei was very calm, he already knew that Liu Ying and the others were fine.

"Children, don't be so irritable, if you come, you will be safe."

Knife stepped forward and comforted. At this time, Shao Fei and the special combat team were also by the river.

Shao Fei looked at the canal and wanted to change the topic lightly, and said, "Looking at the canal, I think of Yang Guang."

"Big brother, what do you want to do with that faint king? Let's think about how to kill the devil on the other side. ”

"Faint?" Shao Fei smiled and said, "Foreign historians have ranked the greatness of Chinese emperors, and he and his father Yang Jian are in the top five. Your kid is also surnamed Yang, so you should be proud. ”

Yang Hongtao didn't dare to agree, and said: "He killed his brother and father**, he is unreasonable, and he is the king of the country." What do foreigners know about Chinese history? ”

"It's boring anyway." Shao Fei took out a pack of cigarettes and put them on the ground, and said, "In ancient times, Cao Cao talked about heroes when he cooked wine, and today we will talk about great people who smoke."

The other special combat team members were curious and gathered around. And Shao Fei felt that this might be his last chance to spend time with them, and he didn't want to miss it. By the way, it also alleviates the fatigue accumulated by the players in the past few days of fighting.

Shao Fei took the cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, and then took one in his mouth and lit it and said: "The most important criterion for judging a good emperor is his contribution to the country and the nation, as well as the benefits he brings to the people of later generations."

Yang Hongtao was a little impatient, and said: "Don't say goodbye first, big brother, I want to hear Emperor Yang of Sui, because he is also surnamed Yang."

"That's right, it's obviously a faint king." “……”

The other team members also wanted to hear how Shao Fei said that the Tyrant of the Faint Monarch was a Ming Jun.

Shao Fei pointed to the canal behind him and said, "One day of the canal is enough to show his greatness." Woe to the present generation, benefit to the future. For China, he is more important than the Great Wall. It does not run through rivers, but also the entire north-south culture of China, which has prospered for thousands of years. Not only that, Yang Guang's smooth Silk Road, the establishment of three provinces and six uniforms, and the creation of the imperial examination are all pioneering achievements that have influenced later generations for hundreds of years. ”

One of the team members asked, "Then why did history scold him so much?"

Shao Fei replied: "I was hacked by his cousin Li Shiming." Grandma Li Shiming and Yang Guang's mother are sisters. History is like this, five points true, five points false. Few people know the truth and darkness behind history, which will always serve the authorities. ”

Zhuzi felt that Shao Fei was very abnormal tonight, but he couldn't say it. Maybe it's not just tonight, a few days ago it didn't look like Shao Fei before.

Subsequently, they began to talk about the past and the present, as far as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and as close as Kangxi and Qianlong. On the banks of this quaint canal, they seem to have forgotten about the war, and some are only rare and pleasant.

After chatting until midnight, the team members seemed to be still unsatisfied, and Shao Fei ordered them to rest early in case of emergencies tomorrow.

Subsequently, Shao Fei called Yang Hongtao aside alone and said, "After this battle, no matter how many people are left in the Sixth Company, you must take the Sixth Company back to Shanxi."

Yang Hongtao was very shocked after hearing this, and said, "Why? What about you, big brother, don't you go back together? I feel that you are very abnormal at night, big brother. ”

"I'm not going back, maybe not again. Don't ask why, Big Brother is for your good. You'll know later, but it's not good for you to know now. ”

As he spoke, Shao Fei took out a letter and handed it to Yang Hongtao, and instructed: "This is a letter to Zhao Fei, you must hand it over to Zhao Fei yourself." He is related to the fate of many people, including you, and must be protected. Also, you are absolutely not allowed to watch it unless Zhao Fei agrees. ”

"Big brother......" Yang Hongtao wanted to ask everything clearly, because things came too suddenly. From Shao Fei's tone, Yang Hongtao could tell that Shao Fei was saying goodbye to himself in advance.

Shao Fei sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, but the situation is out of my control." If you still think of me as your big brother, you must listen to me. ”

Yang Hongtao took the letter with a worried face.

Shao Fei patted it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother is absolutely fine." You'd like to know why they moved us to the Southern Front, because they didn't want me dead. Maybe there's a great fortune waiting for me! ”

Shao Fei turned around and left after speaking. Yang Hongtao knew that Shao Fei was involved in a big event and didn't want to get involved. Let yourself go, purely out of self-protection.
