Chapter 872: Exchanging People for Cities

The little devil didn't expect that leaving 5,000 defenders in Wuhan would make it difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army to move an inch, which was an unexpected gain! After Xue Boling had a military meeting, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion, that is, the siege! Can't attack!

The Japanese army is deployed in the city*, and unless they can achieve a surprising victory, it will be difficult to achieve a complete victory, and once a little devil is missed, then he may detonate*!

"It's been five days, if we go on like this, we can not care about the attrition of our troops, but how long can the people in the city hold out?" The chief of staff asked Xue Boling!

Such a stalemate is not only a test for the little devils, but also a huge test for the soldiers of the national army and the people in Wuhan!

"As long as Chairman Jiang doesn't urge, we will be in a stalemate!"

How could Xue Boling, as the commander, not know what kind of situation would arise, but what could he do? He can't change the current situation at all, he can't gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people to gamble on the little devil's 5,000 troops!

"Since Liao Fan left Chongqing last time, Chairman Jiang seems to be much more open-minded, and he hasn't said a word about your execution of Qiu Qinghe before the battle, and he hasn't sent a telegram to urge the battle!"

"Not because of Liao Fan, but because of General Chen!"

Xue Boling broke Chairman Jiang's thoughts with one word, Liao Fan's approach was at most to make Chairman Jiang angry, and what really made Chairman Jiang uncomfortable was Chen Cheng's death! A fellow followed him all the way and did everything for him, and then finally made such a choice, Chairman Jiang must feel uncomfortable!

"I will find a way to solve the matter in Wuhan as soon as possible, at least for now!"

Xue Boling didn't want to talk about Liao Fan anymore, not because he didn't like Liao Fan, on the contrary, he respected and admired Liao Fan very much, but the more he admired Liao Fan, the more he was afraid of Liao Fan, because in the end Liao Fan would inevitably threaten his party-state, and Xue Boling didn't want his allegiance to be wiped out!

The chief of staff shook his head helplessly, he knew what Xue Boling was thinking in his heart, Wuhan was a dead end, as long as the little devils didn't take the initiative to surrender, they would have no way to enter Wuhan City! After several months of siege, the final result may be that hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan will starve to death along with 5,000 little devils!

The chief of staff left the command headquarters, and then looked up at the sky, the sky around Wuhan was blue, but who would care if the sky was blue or not at this time! Their life and death are unpredictable, and hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to see the sun tomorrow, how can they look up at the picturesque sky!

"Maverick! Come here! Xue Boling's chief of staff called his guard to his side, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

"This matter must be kept secret, remember, you can't tell anyone!"

The chief of staff specially told his guards that he could not talk to anyone no matter what!

In Chongqing, in Chen Cheng's mansion, since Chen Cheng's burial, this mansion has been deserted a lot, and even half of the guards at the door have been removed and replaced with new guards! But there is one person who still lives here, and that is Huai Yuanliang!

When Liao Fan left Chongqing, he wanted to invite Huai Yuanliang to Taihang Mountain! However, Chen Cheng died, and it was not only Chairman Jiang who was sad, but also Huai Yuanliang, who had followed Chen Cheng for many years! Although he was very grateful to Liao Fan, he didn't want to get involved in Chongqing and Liao Fan's affairs, so he finally stayed in Chongqing and guarded the mansion for Chen Cheng!

Since the number of guards in the mansion has decreased, Huai Yuanliang has been responsible for cleaning the Chen Mansion for a living, and he has to clean it almost every afternoon! Just as he was cleaning, a person quietly sneaked into Chen's mansion!

"If you want to steal something, you have to see what kind of place this is, if you are impatient!" Huai Yuanliang sensed that a stranger was approaching him!

The stranger who came didn't hide his whereabouts at all, he walked directly towards Huai Yuanliang! Huai Yuanliang frowned, he didn't expect a thief to be so bold!

"Captain Huai?" The person who came called out his name directly!

"Who are you?" Huai Yuanliang looked at the person who came vigilantly, because he didn't know this person, and he hadn't seen this person when he followed Chen Cheng.

"You don't have to be so vigilant, I'm not here to trouble you, I'm here to ask for your help!"

"Who are you?" Huai Yuanliang asked.

"I'm the guard of General Xue's chief of staff, my surname is Niu! You can call me an old cow! ”

After receiving the order, he left Wuhan and rushed to Chongqing non-stop, the purpose was to see Huai Yuanliang and ask for Huai Yuanliang's help!

"How can I prove your identity?" Huai Yuanliang didn't believe what Lao Niu said.

Lao Niu didn't speak, took out his ID from his coat pocket and threw it to Huai Yuanliang: "I only have this, if you still don't believe me, there's no way!" ”

Huai Yuanliang looked at the documents, and the doubts in his heart were dispelled, Huai Yuanliang has been by Chen Cheng's side for so many years, what documents have not been seen, you can tell if they are true or false!

"Say it! What a thing! When Huai Yuanliang was sure that Lao Niu was not coming to hurt him, his heart relaxed and continued to clean up the hygiene in front of him.

"I want to ask Captain Huai to go to Taihang Mountain......"

Before Lao Niu could finish speaking, Huai Yuanliang interrupted him: "I don't want to get involved in the affairs between you anymore, my biggest wish in this life is to guard this last place for General Chen, you better go back!" ”

Lao Niu didn't expect that Huai Yuanliang would refuse him before he said anything, but he definitely wouldn't just give up, first, he came with an order, and second, he would entrust the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan, if he left like this, hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan might be buried with the little devil.

"The ...... of Wuhan Affairs"

Lao Niu didn't care whether Huai Yuanliang listened to what he said or not, and told Huai Yuanliang what happened in Wuhan to himself, Huai Yuanliang had been cleaning the surrounding area, and it seemed that he didn't hear a word in his ears.

After Lao Niu said this, he didn't say anything else, he waited quietly, waiting for Huai Yuanliang to promise him!

"You can go to Taihang Mountain by yourself, and then tell Commander Liao about these things, maybe he will agree to find a way!" Huai Yuanliang finally spoke.

"I thought so too, but people have to recognize me, I'm not a general hero, Liao Jun Chang has a lot of opportunities, even if he can see me, I'm afraid he will be blocked by the soldiers around him!"

How could it be so easy for a stranger to see Liao Fan, just like an ordinary person who wants to meet Chairman Jiang, if there were no media reports, they wouldn't even know what Chairman Jiang looked like.

Lao Niu knew that he would definitely be stopped after he went to Taihang Mountain, and then he would be investigated, as long as there was a little suspicious, let alone entering Taihang Mountain, he was very likely to be arrested as a spy.

"Okay, I'll take you to Taihang Mountain, but ...... At the end of the day, I don't want to get involved! ”

There is no problem with taking Lao Niu to Taihang Mountain, and Huaihuai Yuanliang has already been to Taihang Mountain once! But he can't guarantee whether the matter will work out or not, after all, who can say for sure what is happening on the battlefield!

After the two of them left Chongqing, they rushed to Taihang Mountain non-stop, fortunately they arrived at Taihang Mountain a day in advance, and it was also the name of Huai Yuanliang who was informed, and Liao Fan was going to leave the station tomorrow to inspect the troops!

"Commander Liao, this is the guard old cow beside Chief Xue Boling!"

Huai Yuanliang didn't know that now the New 33rd Army had been reorganized into the New 33rd Army Military Region, and Liao Fan was already the commander-in-chief!

However, Liao Fan didn't care about his identity, in his heart, his identity was not too important, it was just used to scare the opponent: "Come on, come on, sit inside, all the way, tired!" ”

Liao Fan very much welcomes Huai Yuanliang to come to Taihang Mountain, not to mention anything else, just because of that little bit of affection!

"Old Niu, you'd better tell Commander Liao about it first!" Huai Yuanliang didn't want to delay business.

"Commander Liao's matter is like this, Wuhan ......" Lao Niu is also anxious about Wuhan's affairs.

"I've heard everything about Wuhan, it's a tricky thing! It's really hard to do! ”

Liao Fan also paid attention to the situation in Wuhan at any time, and he also knew that the situation in Wuhan was not very optimistic!

"I don't know if Commander Liao has a way to solve the situation in Wuhan!" Lao Niu looked at Liao Fan expectantly.

"Yes! But my approach comes at a cost! ”

Liao Fan does have a way, but this method loses the interests of the New 33rd Army, and then satisfies the interests of the little devils, and it is the little devils who are happy!

"I wonder if Commander Liao is willing to help us?"

Liao Fan pondered, he had thought about this method, but he didn't know if this method was a rat's eye, and whether the little devil was willing, if the little devil was unwilling, I am afraid that he Liao Fan would also have a hot face and a cold ass!

"Swap people! We have nearly 200,000 Japanese prisoners of war here, and if we take out 100,000 Japanese prisoners of war to ensure that the lives of the 5,000 Japanese soldiers in Wuhan are worry-free, I believe that the little devils are also very happy to do this, if the little devils are not willing to do it, then I really can't do anything! ”

"100,000 Japanese prisoners of war?!"

Lao Niu can't believe it, isn't this a tiger returning to the mountain? In Wuhan, they wiped out less than 50,000 Japanese troops, and now they want to release back 100,000 Japanese troops, who wants to do it!

"Yes, it's indeed a good price for the little devil, but will General Xue choose to do this?"

Liao Fan didn't want to do this either, 100,000 Japanese prisoners of war would be 100,000 combat strength when they returned! And here in Liao Fan, there are 100,000 laborers, they can engage in dangerous mine work, and they will do it all by building bridges and paving roads, and Liao Fan will not feel distressed if he dies, but now he wants to put back 100,000 Japanese soldiers, who has the courage!
