The troops spent the night in the woods and marched west tomorrow. The Sichuan army was thinly dressed, and Shao Fei decided to light a bonfire to keep them warm. In the jungle at night, Shao Fei is not afraid of any enemy.

This night, Shao Fei couldn't sleep and kept pouring firewood by the bonfire. After the battle in Teng County, he was a little confused in his heart, and he didn't even know where to go.

The Battle of Taierzhuang was divided into two stages, and he was invited by Zhang Chong, the commander of the Yunnan Army, to come to participate in the battle. However, the Dian army was stationed in Wuhan for training, and the first phase of the battle was about to begin. Whether to go to Wuhan or stay and continue to fight, Shao Fei couldn't make a decision for a while.

"Can't sleep?"

"If you're hurt, don't move."

Zhang Xuanwu sat down next to Shao Fei with the support of the soldier, and then told the soldier to leave.

"I came here to apologize. I know about Hou Ziping, and if I were in normal times, I would definitely shoot him. But he was anxious to save the division commander, and there were still more than a dozen people left in the 727 regiment, which was a little unbearable. Therefore, I was demoted. ”

"Forget it. It is not easy for the Sichuan army to live. ”

Zhang Xuanwu picked up a wooden stick and picked up the fire and asked, "What are your plans, do you want to go to Wuhan or Xuzhou?"

Shao Fei smiled, as if his mind had been seen through by Zhang Xuanwu, and said, "If it were you, where would you go?"

Zhang Xuanwu thought for a while and replied: "The division commander is gone, and I will answer you with what the division commander often says: There should be no faction in the eyes of soldiers, and it is enough to have the country in their hearts."

General Wang Mingzhang also said this sentence to himself, and Shao Fei seemed to have an answer in his heart.

Half a day later, Shao Fei suddenly thought of something and said, "Zhang Xuanwu? I think I've heard this name somewhere. Seeing your words and deeds, as if you are highly educated, I feel different from other officers. A regiment commander was actually appointed commander of the city defense. Since we're friends, I wonder what you've done before? ”

Zhang Xuanwu smiled, but he didn't expect Shao Fei to be curious about himself.

"You used to be a Red Army, right? Which legion? ”

"Red Second Legion."

"It's fine." Zhang Xuanwu smiled and felt lucky.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was born in a scholarly family and went to a higher college. Later, he was influenced by the Three People's Principles and threw his pen from Rong. First the Northwest Army, and in three or three years, he served as the regiment commander under Yang Hucheng's subordinates. Later, something happened to go to Hu Zongnan of the Central Army, but Yang Hucheng sued that the Central Army did not dare to accept me, so he could only defect to the Sichuan Army. When I say okay, I mean that you are not the Red Fourth Front Army, otherwise the enmity will be great. ”

"I still don't understand that the Red Fourth Front is the strongest army of the Red Army. The Sichuan army was vulnerable. ”

"Haha" Zhang Xuanwu laughed and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

"Electric ...... Nothing, hearsay. ”

Shao Fei almost said what he watched on TV, and immediately changed his words.

"Maybe, the soldiers of the Red Fourth Front are strong, and the Sichuan army has suffered a lot of defeats. But I didn't lose, I won ten battles. Your Red Fourth Front Army mentioned me Zhang Xuanwu, but your teeth are itching. ”

Shao Fei could see that when Zhang Xuanwu said this, he didn't have any pride, but a little lost. After all, it's a civil war, and there's nothing to show off. But Shao Fei didn't understand that a person who was so good at fighting had never been promoted for five years, and he was still a regiment commander. But his life is legendary enough.

After chatting for a long time, Zhang Xuanwu felt the pain of the wound, so he asked his subordinates to lift him to the side to rest.

After Zhang Xuanwu left, Liu Ying walked over with a solemn expression.

Shao Fei looked up at Liu Ying and asked, "What's wrong?" This expression. ”

Liu Ying squatted down and said, "We can't enter the mountain tomorrow, we have to find a county seat." We have nothing, some of the seriously wounded are dying if they die. And Captain Zhang, he ......"

Seeing Liu Ying's expression, Shao Fei knew that Zhang Xuanwu's leg injury was very serious, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" I think he can still stand. ”

"That's a hard support, don't you see him padding."

Liu Ying sighed and said helplessly: "His kneecap has been shattered, and he must be operated on as soon as possible." Optimistically, it's also lame; Not optimistically, amputation is required. ”

Liu Ying's words completely shocked Shao Fei. If the leg is amputated, Zhang Xuanwu's military career will also come to an end.

Early the next morning, Shao Fei decided to change the course of action. Go south along the west side of the railway, then go west, cross Dushan Lake, and go to Pei County for treatment.

The march was adventurous. The Japanese 10th Division had just occupied Teng County, and the gunfire in Teng County had not stopped, and the main force of the 10th Division moved south to attack Lincheng.

This proves Chichai Yaezo's words, their division commander is a guy who is eager for quick success.

It was not until the evening that the troops hurried to Pei County, which finally arrived. However......

"Which part of you are from?"

The soldiers at the West City Gate of Pei County stopped Shao Fei and them, looking at his military uniform, Sun Lianzhong was the Northwest Army.

Now Lu Kang, Wang Zhiyuan, Zhang Xuanwu and other high-ranking generals are seriously injured and lying on stretchers. The biggest officer is only Hou Ziping, the demoted company commander.

Hou Ziping stepped forward and said politely: "We are the Sichuan army, and we have just been withdrawn from Teng County."

At this time, a company commander of the Northwest Army came over, looked at Hou Ziping with contempt, and said, "It turns out that the devil can't escape back." Didn't you say that Yu Teng County coexisted and died, why did so many people come back? ”

Hou Ziping was angry after hearing this, but this was someone else's territory, and the overall situation was important, so he swallowed this evil breath.

The company commander saw that Hou Ziping was so cowardly, and continued to make fun of him: "I'll just say, how can you use miscellaneous military ,...... in a war?"

"Tell your people to get out of here!"

At this time, Shao Fei held a shell gun against the company commander's head.

The company commander was fearless and threatened: "Who are you? It's fat enough. If you don't want to die, put the gun down! ”

Shao Fei said with murderous intent: "I am not the Sichuan army, nor the national army, I don't have to bear any responsibility for killing you." Also, this gun often has fire, so I especially like it. ”

The company commander began to cringe, but he didn't want to let him go easily, losing face and prestige.

At this time, a jeep drove out of the city, and a colonel regimental commander hurriedly got out of the car and walked over.

After understanding the situation, he slapped the company commander: "Bastard! Without the bloody battle of the Sichuan army in front, the devil would have fought here long ago! ”

After scolding, the head of the regiment apologized to Shao Fei and Hou Ziping: "There is no way to discipline, I laughed." Without your Sichuan army, our Second Army Corps would not have been able to deploy in place in time. Go into town, and I'll prepare the best hospital for you. ”

The Sichuan army troops successfully entered the city. However, things did not go as smoothly as Shao Fei thought. Zhang Xuanwu's injuries were too severe for surgery. The doctor's recommendation was to amputate the limb, otherwise it would be life-threatening.

Amputation is unacceptable to Zhang Xuanwu. He would rather die than have his leg amputated, because amputation meant that he would bid farewell to the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

So, Zhang Xuanwu asked Shao Fei to go to Xuzhou for treatment, and he had to save this leg no matter what.

After Shao Fei and Hou Ziping discussed, they decided to let Hou Ziping and that company stay to take care of the wounded of the Sichuan army. He led a special combat team and the Sixth Company to escort Zhang Xuanwu to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou was originally Shao Fei's final destination. But I wonder if it will be Shao Fei's last stop after crossing?
