At four o'clock in the morning, Chongqing camped.

The headquarters was brightly lit and star-studded, and the chairman of the committee, dressed in a special general's uniform, was directing the country and strategizing in front of a huge military map.

An hour ago, the Ninth Theater sent a war briefing that the enemy had launched an unusually large-scale night attack and besieged Base 331 on all sides, and Jiang Haoran's telegram requesting reinforcements flew over like snowflakes.

In view of the urgency of the war situation, the Central Military Commission convened an emergency meeting, and the results of the meeting were nothing more than two points: First, the First Group Army and the 19th Group Army stepped up their offensive, recaptured the Laohuling Heights and Matianao Heights at any cost, opened up the Zhuchang Highway, and cut off the rear routes of the 101st and Second Divisions of the Japanese Army. The second point was to urge the 75th Army on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River to cross the river as much as possible, and the 74th Army south of Changsha and north of Zhuzhou to speed up the march.

However, it was very difficult to accomplish these two points, and there was an integrated division of the Japanese army on the heights of Laohuling and Matianao, which had a limited area, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a large number of troops drove in, but they could not turn away at all, and it was nothing more than cheapening the Japanese army's artillery shells, and in addition, the enemy situation was unknown in the black light, so it was impossible to take the high ground in a short period of time. However, the 75th Army was difficult to cross the river tonight due to the rapid flow of water just after the rainy season, and the pontoon bridge was difficult to erect, but the soldiers of the 74th Army were exhausted due to the long-distance attack, and it was expected that they would arrive in Zhuzhou tomorrow morning.

However, unfavorable reports of the battle situation came from time to time, first the Loess Ridge was lost, then the second line of defense of Jigong Mountain was captured by the enemy, and then the Dawei Mountain fortress was on the verge of collapse, the Japanese army dispatched hundreds of fighters and bombers overnight, and the combat attrition of the Nanshan Army was approaching 30,000, and if there were no reinforcements, it would not be able to hold out at dawn.

"Why, they're all dumb, the Nanshan Army is in prison, can't any of the party-state talents come up with a way to save them?" The chairman of the committee had an angry face, and his eyes swept over the faces of the generals like blades.

He Yingqin, chief of staff, Chen Chen, director of the General Political Department, and Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, lowered their eyes and looked indifferent on their faces, because only they knew that this was under the control of the chairman, and there was nothing to worry about.

"Report, 75th Army emergency message." A senior staff officer hurried in with a telegram in his hand.

When the chairman of the committee took the telegram, his face changed suddenly and even trembled, and then he slammed the table with a loud bang with his hand, and shouted: "Niang Xipi, escape from the battle? Jiang Haoran deserves death! "

Everyone was shocked when they heard this news, if it was true, it meant that even if the 331 base was not lost, it was at least on the verge of collapse, but most people's faces were still full of doubts, because this was too different from Jiang Haoran's style.

Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, quietly went out at this time, and he seemed to be very skeptical of the news.

Chen Chen picked up the telegram and hurriedly glanced at it, his brows immediately furrowed, the telegram said that the river patrol of the 75th Army had seen Jiang Haoran and his family have fled by boat.

"Commission, the authenticity of this telegram has yet to be confirmed, the soldier who is blind in the black light may be mistaken, it is human nature for Jiang Haoran to send his family away in danger, but I believe that he himself will never escape from the battle, I dare to guarantee this with my life!" Chen Chen raised the telegram in his hand and said affirmatively.

"Admiral Chen, this time I may have disappointed you! It is not wise to put your precious life on such a petty man! "

Dai Li walked in from the door, answered Chen Chen's question very unceremoniously, and then said to the chairman: "Commission, it has been confirmed that Jiang Haoran has indeed escaped across the river, and just now he went to the headquarters of the 75th Army and Wu Huawen, the commander of the 75th Army, and had a big quarrel, accusing Wu Huawen of poor rescue. The outpost of the 74th Army also confirmed that the special operations division of the Nanshan Army had withdrawn from the 331 base and deployed near Dayushan Mountain north of Zhuzhou, which was suspected of planning for the follow-up troops to break through. And most importantly, according to the report of the military commander in the eyes of the Nanshan Army, Jiang Haoran had ordered the troops to place a large number of power plants, arsenals, and important facilities and fortresses in the base, and detonate them as soon as the enemy attacked. "

When the chairman heard this, the expression on his face changed from white to green and from blue to purple, but he was really angry to the extreme, and he didn't calculate that Jiang Haoran would escape from the battle, he originally thought that Jiang Haoran would fight almost, and the reinforcements from all walks of life arrived "in time" to resolve the crisis, and it was natural to supplement the troops into the Nanshan Army to complete the reshuffle, who knew that Jiang Haoran actually didn't play cards according to the routine, and was really willing to blow up the base he had worked so hard to build, and then slipped away, and he was really able to control the 331 base as he wished, but the important facilities were destroyed, This empty shell is useless, and what is lost is the national defense force that depends on it for survival! No, the 331 base must not be bombed, nor can it be lost.

"Order: The 74th Army and the 75th Army will reinforce the 331 base at any cost, and those who did not arrive before dawn will be shot! Sue Wu Huawen and Yu Jishi, whoever arrives first will be the commander of the Nanshan Army," the chairman of the committee said viciously with a hideous expression.

At half past four in the morning, base 331.

The sky over the whole Zhuzhou was full of flames, the sound of guns and cannons was endless, and countless fighters and bombers shuttled back and forth in the sky, diving and strafing and bombing at one fire point, and the small Zhuzhou was already in the midst of the war.

Base Command. Although it was a pot of porridge outside, the headquarters was not as flustered as imagined, and the staff officers and generals frequently entered and exited the telecommunications room of the headquarters, and one by one with a strict expression and hurried steps, one after another orders were issued from their hands, and the battle reports from the front were also transmitted back one by one, all in an orderly manner.

In the war room, a handsome-looking young man wearing a snow wolf special combat team combat uniform with a murderous face in his hand, holding a baton and calmly issuing instructions in front of the sand table, it was Jiang Haoran who had escaped from the battle.

On the sand table, the small sun flag representing the Japanese army has been planted almost all over the hills, the blue sky and white sun flag on the sand table only leaves this line between the fortress groups, and the outer defense line including the Jigong Mountain defense line and the Loess Ridge defense line have fallen to the enemy.

"Commander, we have already suffered from the enemy, and we won't be able to hold out for long if we continue to fight like this! If reinforcements don't come, Base 331 will really be broken. Chief of Staff Liu He said worriedly.

"Yes, military seat, the Japanese army has broken through the Loess Ridge defense line, and the cigarette factory and clothing factory behind the base have been occupied by the enemy, and the next step is to directly enter our arsenal, I think it is better to transfer the special operations division back in case of emergency?" Deputy Army Commander Zhang Dabiao said.

"Wait!"

Jiang Haoran said calmly, put down the baton in his hand casually, rubbed his hands, felt a little strange, and unconsciously opened it to see, it was actually wet, shining under the strong light of the war room, extremely eye-catching. Jiang Haoran glanced at Zhang Dabiao and Liu He, and found that both of them were looking at their hands in a daze, and hurriedly covered it up clumsily: "Hehe, the air here is not circulated, and it is stuffy!" "
