    According to later statistics, during that operation, Ma Wenlong and Zhang Xian rescued about 5,000 prisoners of war. There were still 3,000 prisoners of war who did not break out, but more than 2,000 others were unfortunately killed by enemy bullets and chaos.  Under trampling.

    Ma Wenlong and Zhang Xian spent two days taking in these escaped prisoners of war and dividing one into two. The prisoners of war of the New Fourth Army were taken away by Ma Wenlong, while the prisoners of war of the National Army were taken away by Zhang Xian.  Among these prisoners of war, less than a thousand were from the New Fourth Army, and the rest were basically from the National Army. Most of them were captured during the Battle of Wuhan and the Battle of Changsha.

    The Japanese and the puppet troops in Wuhan did not come to pursue these escaped prisoners of war, because at this time, the New Fourth Army was launching the Battle of Zhurushan on the outskirts of Wuhan, and the main force of the Japanese had not yet escaped from the third battle of Changsha, but Wuhan  Sirens were sounded throughout the city and martial law was imposed for three days.

    Ma Wenlong and Zhang Xian reluctantly said goodbye. When it came time to break up, they couldn't say a word. It wasn't until Ma Wenlong sent Zhang Xian to the ferry, and when the ship was sailing, he said this sentence: "Brother! Take care!  "

    "Brother Ma! Take care!" Zhang Xian also suppressed the sadness in his heart and said goodbye to him.

    Zhang Yi stood next to Ma Wenlong with tears on his face. He couldn't bear to let go of his eldest brother, let alone his New Fourth Army brothers who were with him through life and death, so he chose to follow Ma Wenlong and the New Fourth Army.  Zhang Xian also knew that he could not persuade his younger brother to leave, but he knew that both Ma Wenlong and other officers of the New Fourth Army would pay for his younger brother, because they were also comrades who shared life and death. Just like Hao Bin, he simply  There is no need to worry.

    After crossing the Dongjing River, it was the defense area of ??the 128th Division of the Fifth Theater. It was at this time that Zhang Xian heard the news that the third Changsha Battle had been won on all fronts. The enemy suffered more than 50,000 casualties and fled north in panic.  He fled back to Wuhan.  Everyone cheered and was happy for this great victory of the national army. It had been a long time since they heard such good news, so many people shed tears.  What makes Zhang Xian even more fortunate is that he returned to the state-occupied area with his guards. If he was still in Liuji, when the Japanese returned to Wuhan, he would not have such a good opportunity to cross Jianghan again.  plain, safely crossing the Han River and Dongjing River.

    The 128th Division was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the guard company of the 11th Division. Fortunately, after contacting the 11th Division, they learned that this unit turned out to be behind enemy lines to cover the retreat of the large forces during the Yichang offensive.  Commander Wang of the 128th Division couldn't help but admire Zhang Xian. He was able to return safely from the enemy's war zone in more than two months and brought back more than 4,000 prisoners of war. This was not something that an ordinary company commander could do. I'm afraid  Even the Eight Great Vajras under Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could not do it.  Commander Wang entertained Zhang Xian's troops well, and then sent them out of his defense zone and into the territory of the Sixth War Zone.

    The four thousand prisoners of war brought by Zhang Xian were directly incorporated into the 18th Army by the Sixth Theater Headquarters, but Zhang Xian cleverly selected dozens of particularly outstanding soldiers in advance and incorporated them into his own team.  These people were all selected by Liu Xiaohu, and they happened to be organized into a platoon, so Zhang Xian simply accepted him as the platoon leader.  Only later did Zhang Xian realize that this Liu Xiaohu was no ordinary person. He had been a Taoist priest in Wudang Mountain when he was very young, and had learned very skilled fists and kicks. Later, he participated in the Anti-Japanese War and became a soldier in the 77th Army. He was soon recruited.  He was promoted to platoon leader, but unfortunately he was injured and captured during the Yichang Defense Battle. It has been nearly a year since he was captured and rescued.

    Commander Fang and Chief of Staff Luo personally came to the bank of the Yangtze River to welcome Zhang Xian and his troops back. They were also accompanied by Commander Yang, Wang Yuanling and Zhang Muli, and his classmate Wang Jiang was also there.

    Zhang Xian walked up to the teacher, stood at attention and saluted, as standard as a statue.

    Seeing the ragged appearance of Zhang Xian and the brothers, Fang Qing felt happy and sad at the same time. He didn't know how much suffering this unit had suffered. He also forgot that he was a major general and hugged Zhang Xian.  He held me in his arms, full of emotions, and it took him a long time to let go. With tears in his eyes, he had a lot to say but didn¡¯t know how to say it. After a long time, he reached out and patted Zhang Xian¡¯s head, and said with a smile: ¡°Kid, good job!  "

    "Teacher, thank you!" Zhang Xian said modestly.

    Chief of Staff Luo came over, patted Zhang Xian on the shoulder, and said appreciatively: "You are indeed good. The guard company originally consisted of 150 people. It was surrounded by the Japanese and broke through. After more than two months, we came back.  Not only are there not fewer people, but there are more people, and they can form a battalion."

    "Yes!" Captain Yang Tao next to him also joked, "If we let him come back two months later, haha, he might bring us a group!"

    Everyone laughed.

    But Zhang Xian couldn¡¯t laugh at all, waiting for everyoneAfter laughing, he told everyone seriously: "From that day when our company broke through to the present, we have sacrificed one hundred and sixty-three good brothers, and many others joined in during the process. They are all good people."  .¡±

    Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't stop laughing. One hundred and sixty-three, Zhang Xian remembered this number so accurately. It was more than the standard personnel of his entire security company. One can imagine how good this company was.  hardships.

    Battalion Commander Wang and Zhang Muli also came over to shake hands and talk to Zhang Xian. Zhang Muli, in particular, whispered to Zhang Xian's ear: "Do you know? At first I thought your entire company had been wiped out, but I still did it for you.  Cried a lot!¡±

    "Really?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

    "Shh!" Zhang Muli quickly pressed his mouth: "Keep your voice down!" he said.  It seems that, in his opinion, it would be a shame for a battalion commander like him to be seen crying.

    Wang Jiang also came over to hug Zhang Xian and said to him: "Idiot, I thought I would never see you again! I also wrote letters to many classmates, saying that you died for the country. If you come back alive this time, they will definitely  Will call me nonsense.¡±

    "You're still cursing me to death!" Zhang Xian was very dissatisfied.

    "No way! It's too late for me to be happy!" Wang Jiang said: "To be honest, without you, I really feel lonely in the 11th Division. This time I have really convinced you. Can you please  Talk to the teacher and transfer me to your place, how great it would be for the two of us to be together!"

    "Yeah!" Zhang Xian nodded and said at the same time: "I can't guarantee success."

    "It's definitely possible." Wang Jiang said with certainty: "I don't know how much the teacher likes you now. As long as you bring it up, he will definitely agree."

    *******************

    Zhang Xian and his troops were taken back to the base of the 11th Division like stars applauding the moon. Commander Hu Fu had been promoted to major general at this time and was transferred to another division as a full division commander. Therefore, Zhang Xian did not  After seeing him, but after hearing that he was back, Hu Congjun drove over to see him. At the same time, he also brought them a cart of Luzhou old kiln, saying it was to reward the brothers. After all, the New Year was coming soon.

    Zhang Xian told Commander Fang, Commander Hu and Chief of Staff Luo everything that had happened in the past few months without concealing anything. Commander Fang and Chief of Staff Luo didn't think much about it, but Hu Congjun kept his secrets.  He frowned, thinking about something.

    After Zhang Xian finished speaking, Hu Congjun asked Fang Qing: "Mr. Fang, how are you going to write this report to the superiors?"

    Fang Qing was stunned for a moment and said: "To be honest, Zhang Xian and his guards have worked hard and made great achievements. First, they almost died while covering the safe retreat of the entire division, and later they rescued so many of our prisoners of war. Why should we invite him?"  Wear a first-class medal."

    Hu Congjun gave a wry smile and asked, "How does Zhang Xian's contribution compare with that of General Wei Lihuang?"

    Fang Qing was stunned. Chief of Staff Roda immediately understood and nodded involuntarily.

    Just listen to Commander Hu continue: "General Wei is in charge of Henan and was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone. He blocked the Japanese invaders from advancing westward. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work. But because he was too close to the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party,  , was not happy to be appointed, and was promoted and secretly promoted to the director of Xi'an Northwest Camp Office. You know, as long as someone has connections with the Communist Party, the commissioner will not reuse him."

    "I understand." Fang Qing nodded, but then said: "Everything else is easy to talk about, so you don't need to mention it. It's just that these thousands of prisoners are not a trivial matter. Even if we don't mention it, the superiors will still ask."  There are reporters who want to get to the bottom of things, so it¡¯s hard to get rid of them when the time comes.¡±

    Hu Congjun thought for a while and said: "I think this is good. When I reported it, I said that when Zhang Xian led his troops to rescue these prisoners of war, he happened to encounter a certain unit of the New Fourth Army who was also in action. This was just a coincidence. Haha, what kind of medal is that?  Yes, forget it."

    Fang Qing nodded, walked up to Zhang Xian, and said to him: "You heard it just now, right? If I report your matter truthfully, you may not only get nothing, but I'm afraid you and  Your brothers will be isolated and examined, and those military agents will not stop until they make a name for themselves."

    Zhang Xian is a smart man. Of course he understood what he was referring to. He nodded and said, "I know that Mr. Fang and Mr. Hu are doing it for my own good. I will obey the arrangements of the teachers."

    "Yeah!" Fang Qing nodded and said with some regret: "I just wronged you and your brothers."

    "It's okay, I will make it clear to them." Zhang Xian said with a smile: "We came out to fight the Japanese, not to get rewards."

    "Well said!" Hu Congjun said approvingly: "Among the young officers nowadays, there are fewer and fewer outstanding ones like you, but you have to believe that as long as it is a pearl, it will not be buried in the dust."

    "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hu!" Zhang Xian still smiled, but changed the topic and asked Fang Qing: "Sir, didn't you say you bought ten fat pigs and waited for us to come back to slaughter them? Those ten fat pigs  Woolen cloth?"

    Fang Qing and others were stunned for a moment, looked at each other for a moment, and then laughed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?As long as it is a pearl, it will never be buried in the dust.  "
