Shao Fei came to the Changshan position with the remnants of the troops, and Bao Changyi personally greeted him with several officers.

After Bao Changyi saw Shao Fei, he didn't expect to be in his early twenties, which greatly surprised his expectations.

Shao Fei walked up to Bao Changyi and saluted, "Good general."

Bao Changyi returned the military salute and said, "I finally met the legendary commander of the falcon." Hello, just call me Mr. Bao. In my bones, I am still in the navy, and we should all die at sea. ”

Shao Fei saw Bao Changyi's helplessness and loss, and Shao Fei chuckled: "It's the same everywhere to resist Japan and save the country." Is it better than those with guns and don't know who their ancestors are? ”

Shao Fei alluded to those Taiwanese soldiers in the Botian detachment. Bao Changyi laughed after hearing this, and said, "That's a good point! Temper with me. Come and rest, find the best medic to treat them, use the best medicine! ”

"Thank you, Chief Bao."

"Hehe, keep the horse together, how to divide each other."

Subsequently, Bao Changyi took Shao Fei to the observation post, pointed to the direction of Xiangshan, and said: "The Xiangshan position is garrisoned by part of the 60th Division, but the situation is the same as that of other troops, it is a unit without a commander. I think that the Xiangshan position will soon be occupied by the Japanese army, and then it will inevitably be arranged there to set up artillery positions to confront us. ”

At this time, Shao Fei remembered Zhao Hongfei's words before: Without troops, no matter how good the fortifications are, they are useless. Now, however, without a commander's troops, the soldiers are a rabble.

So, Shao Fei suggested: "Why don't let them withdraw, they can't sacrifice in vain." The main position of Changshan is as empty. ”

Bao Changyi sighed and said, "The phone has not been able to get through. I have sent people over, hoping to evacuate before the Japanese attack. ”

Shao Fei replied: "It should be possible." Before the battle, I sent people to lay mines on the main road of Xiangshan. The Changshan position is south of Xiangshan and should not enter the minefield. Hatada wanted to arrange the artillery positions and wait until the evening. ”

Shao Fei moved away from the viewing scope and asked, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Bao Changyi replied: "It's not clear now, I have already asked Commander Li Yunheng for support, and I have also reported the situation of Madang Fortress to the Wuhan base camp."

Shao Fei smiled helplessly, walked to the front of the observation post and looked at the Yangtze River. The Japanese army had begun to assemble, and the number of warships had increased a lot, so he said: "If the national army had half the efficiency of the Japanese army, it would not have fallen to this point."

Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, was inspecting the Tianjiazhen fortress and was shocked to learn that the Japanese troops had landed in Xiangkou.

So he immediately rushed to the headquarters and directly commanded Xue Weiying, the commander of the 167th Division stationed in Pengze, and ordered him to lead his troops to quickly reinforce Madang Fortress. In order to gain time, the 167th Division must take the main road.

Also shocked was Chairman Chiang. When he learned that Li Yunheng was still doing his graduation ceremony, and Xiangkou and Xiangshan fell into the hands of the enemy, he was immediately furious.

"It is the misfortune of the party-state to have such soldiers! Afterwards, I will punish him severely to see the aftermath! ”

Chen Cheng, who was beside the chairman, comforted: "The committee is angry. The top priority is how to reinforce Madang Fortress, and too many manpower and material resources have been invested in Madang. If it is easily lost, it will become an international joke. ”

The chairman calmed his anger a little and said, "I don't want to hear this person's voice. You called me and reprimanded him, and ordered him to send reinforcements quickly, without mistake. ”

"I know, I'll do it."

Chen Cheng was about to leave, but the chairman suddenly stopped him and instructed: "Order the air forces of Wuchang and Hankou to go all out to reinforce Madang Fortress."

"Yes!"

Chen Cheng left the chairman's office, and then personally called Li Yunheng and ordered him to quickly reinforce Madang Fortress.

This thing is a bit self-defeating, and it doesn't matter if you don't fight, until something big happens.

Li Yunheng received a call from Chen Cheng and was originally holding his college graduation ceremony, but knowing that the chairman of the committee was angry, he felt that the matter was important, so he personally ordered the nearest 167th Division to go to reinforce him.

It's the same reinforcement order, but the content is different. Li Yunheng ordered Xue Weiying's 167th Division to advance to the mountains east of Taibai Lake. The reason is simple, the Japanese army will definitely ambush the 167th Division at any cost on the main road.

The reason is so high-sounding, but the heart is so dirty. Li Yunheng has always held a grudge against Bao Changyi in his heart, because he didn't know how to lift, and everyone came to participate in his Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, but his second corps did not come. In Li Yunheng's heart, the Second Corps and the Japanese army have fought hard.

Xue Weiying received Bai Chongxi's order first, and was preparing to set off from the main road, but she received an order from her army commander Li Yunheng, and now Xue Weiying began to make difficulties.

The 167th Division remained in a state of immobility, not knowing whether to take the mountain road or the main road.

"Ahem~" Xue Weiying sighed in the command headquarters, and neither end could be offended. One is the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Supreme Command; One is his direct supervisor.

After thinking about it, Xue Weiying decided to take the mountain road. I am a descendant, and I am the first phase of Huangpu, so there is no need to listen to Gui Jun's dispatch. Besides, the mountain road is safe, and there are really devils on the road.

In the eyes of these Whampoa officers, they looked down on those miscellaneous local troops. At the beginning, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi opposed Chiang, but they were driven back to Guangxi by the Central Army.

Xue Weiying immediately ordered the troops to take the mountain road.

When the chief of staff learned of this, he immediately rushed to stop it.

"Commander, I feel that you must not take the mountain road, it is a dead end."

Xue Weiying didn't quite understand what the chief of staff meant, and asked, "What dead end?" Make the words clear. ”

The chief of staff analyzed: "The 167th Division has been fighting in the northern plains, and it is not good at taking mountain roads at all. Also, we are not familiar with the surrounding mountains at all, what if we get lost? ”

Xue Weiying disagreed, and said, "How can you get lost? The road is made by people. ”

The chief of staff persuaded again, saying: "The battle in Madang Fortress is tight, the troops are empty, and there is a possibility of being captured at any time. If the 167th Division delays the fighters, you and I can't afford to bear this crime. ”

Xue Weiying felt that the chief of staff was verbose and timid, and said: "What is there to be guilty of, I am acting according to orders, and it is not my turn to suffer crimes, and Commander Li Yunheng is in front of me?"

Xue Weiying's words made the chief of staff very weak. I don't know if he is naïve or really stupid, so he said: "Madang Fortress is so important, once it is lost, the commander can't afford it." You know who Li Yunheng is, you know, it's us who are unlucky when something happens. Also, he asked us to take the mountain road, was he really afraid of an ambush by the Japanese army? ”

"Don't say it, I'm up to it. You slander the military seat so much behind your back, if he knows about it, he will definitely make you look good. If I didn't hear what I said, let the troops get ready to go. ”

Xue Weiying was still stubborn, picked up her military hat and put it on, and prepared to set off.

The chief of staff finally advised behind his back: "Have you forgotten Long Muhan of the 88th Division? He was shot only last week. He is the same as Shizuo is the first phase of Whampoa, does he really deserve to die? Everyone knows that he is the black cauldron who clears Gui Yong's back. If something happens to Madang Fortress, Li Yunheng will definitely find the master to carry his black cauldron. ”

"It's serious. It's only a few dozen miles from Madang, and I'll be able to get there tomorrow morning. If Bao Changyi can't hold on for even a day, I can't be blamed above. ”

After speaking, Xue Weiying walked away. The chief of staff could only sigh helplessly. What do Li Yunheng and Xue Weiying think of the army and the war?
