    As soon as Zhang Xian came out of Enshi, he met two female war reporters who wanted to give him a ride to the front line. One was a reporter from Chongqing's "Central Daily News" and the other was a special correspondent in China for the "Washington Post" in the United States.  Zhang Xian looked at his military jeep and saw that it could fit all the seats, so he agreed.  Originally, he also had a kind of admiration for reporters, especially female reporters, which reminded him of his first girlfriend Liu Manli.

    Chief Chen and Chief of Staff Guo had already left Enshi, while Sun Zhong stayed here. Zhang Xian was half a day late because he went to the Civil Affairs Department to apply for a marriage certificate with Wang Jinna.

    Along the way, Zhang Xian drove the car himself, with Xiong Sanwa sitting next to him, and Liu Xiaohu and the two reporters sitting behind him.

    From Enshi to Sandouping, military vehicles were riding high on the rugged mountain road. Although the scenery along the road was very pleasant, Zhang Xian was not in the mood to see the scenery.  There was an endless stream of refugees on the road, fleeing in small groups with their families in the direction of Enshi.

    The American reporter asked Zhang Xian to stop several times, used her camera to take pictures of the poor refugees along the way, and walked among them to conduct interviews.

    There was a family of five people on the roadside, an old man and a young man. They had obviously walked a long way and were sitting there to rest. The two reporters asked Zhang Xian again to stop the car and came to the family.  in the middle.  Zhang Xian sat in the car and looked at the family of five, two elderly people in their fifties, two children, one about eight or nine years old, one about thirteen or fourteen years old, and another who seemed to be the head of the family.  The Lord is a woman in her thirties.  Looking at the exhausted look of the five members of the family, Zhang Xian always felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. If soldiers like them had not been defeated repeatedly and lost their country, how could the common people be running around in such misery?

    From the reporter¡¯s question and answer with the family, Zhang Xian knew that the family fled from Gongan County. They originally went to Changyang first, but felt that Changyang was not safe, so they followed a large number of refugees to Enshi.  After the interview, the woman who was the head of the family suddenly came to Zhang Xian's car and asked Zhang Xian: "Sir, are you going to the front line?"

    Zhang Xian nodded, and the woman smiled and begged him: "Sir, my husband is the battalion commander of the 352nd Regiment of the 118th Division of the 87th Army. His name is Gu Shoujun. When the Japanese attack the police, we  We got separated from him, do you know where the 118th Division is now?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment. After retreating from the police, the 118th Division was now stationed on the banks of the Yuyang River. Of course he knew this, but the 352nd Regiment had such a deep impression on him that he remembered it clearly.  According to the battle report received from the front on the 14th, the 352nd Regiment was engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's 3rd Division in Shanmupu. The battle was tragic. A regiment commander named Xue and a battalion commander named Gu were killed in the battle. There were not many left of the regiment.  to one-third.  The surname Gu is not a common surname. There are only a few battalion commanders of the 352nd Regiment. Needless to say, if the family of five in front of them are the family members of the battalion commander Gu, then they must not know that their relatives have been killed in the battle.  .

    "Sir, do you know?" Seeing that Zhang Xian didn't answer for a long time, the woman couldn't help but ask another question.

    Zhang Xian raised his head and looked at her. From this dusty and haggard face, he saw extremely ardent expectations. He then looked at the two children sitting on the luggage on the roadside and the frail old man.  There seemed to be a big stone blocking it in his heart; no, he couldn't face the tears of this family of five. Even if they would be sad sooner or later, let those who reported the funeral face it.  Thinking of this, he nodded immediately and told the woman: "The 118th Division has retreated safely. The specific location is hard to say."

    "Really?" the woman asked again excitedly.

    Zhang Xian nodded.

    "Thank you!" the woman said, turning back to the roadside and telling her family the good news. Although their family members were also tired, they all smiled excitedly.  The younger child was still asking innocently: "Is daddy coming back?" The woman nodded.

    But Zhang Xian felt like his heart was bleeding.

    The two reporters returned to the car and urged Zhang Xian to drive, but Zhang Xian hesitated and took out all the money from his pocket, only five yuan.  He turned to Liu Xiaohu and Xiong Sanwa and asked, "How much money do you have with you?"

    Liu Xiaohu and Xiong Sanwa were both stunned for a moment. Liu Xiaohu said: "I have three oceans." Xiong Sanwa said: "I only have two!"

    ¡°Okay, give it all to me, and I¡¯ll pay you back later!¡±

    Liu Xiaohu and Xiong Sanwa took out their silver coins and gave them to him.  Zhang Xian took the money, jumped out of the car, walked straight to the woman on the roadside, and shouted: "Sister-in-law, I only have ten yuan here, you can take it and use it first.The door will be opened, and Shipai will be surrounded by their troops.  "He said, cleared his throat, and continued to point in the direction of Yidu, saying: "Pianyan is between Changyang and Yichang. Once it is lost, the entire Shipai Fortress will be exposed to the enemy, and the enemy will definitely use all his strength.  seize.  As you can see, across the river, the enemy's 39th Division and other units have been assembled and on standby. Once this division crosses the river, the enemy will have a local advantage of 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the consequences can be imagined.  "As he spoke, he looked back at Chief Chen, and when he saw him nodding, he added: "However, sirs, don't worry for now. The Military Commission has urgently mobilized the 79th Army and the 70th Army in the Ninth Theater of Northern Hunan.  The Fourth Army rushed over to help, and at the same time, the Thirty Army was transferred from Xinye, Henan in the Fifth War Zone to coordinate with various departments in Jiangbei to attack the enemy's rear. The Thirty-second Army in Eastern Sichuan, directly under the Central Military Commission, has planned to be under the jurisdiction of the Jiang Defense Army and is on its way to the east.  The battlefield can be reached every day.  "After Zhang Xian finished speaking, he glanced at the officers below and looked directly at Hu Congjun. Commander Hu gave him an appreciative smile. Indeed, seeing Zhang Xian explaining in front of so many division commanders and army commanders, for him, a ten-year-old  For the commander of the 1st Division, it is also a great honor, because after all, the combat adjutant is still seconded, and he is still a member of the 11th Division.

    After hearing what Zhang Xian said, Chief Chen stood up, glanced at everyone present with a stern look, and asked, "Does everyone know the situation?"

    "Got it!" Everyone replied in unison.

    "Okay! Instructions!" Chief Chen stood at attention first and said loudly.  Everyone stood up together, stood at attention, and listened respectfully to the chairman's instructions. Chief Chen said loudly: "At this critical juncture, I hope that you will fight together in the national crisis, fight bravely, defeat the enemy, and resolutely defend Shipai Fortress."

    "Yes!" Everyone answered in unison again.

    Commander Chen then motioned everyone to sit down, said some words of encouragement, and then began the battle deployment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
