    On June 1, one unit each of the enemy's 3rd Division and 39th Division were preparing to cross the river from the other side of Yichang. They were discovered by the Chinese and American air forces, and two ferries were bombed and sunk. The river was full of corpses of Japanese soldiers, and there were almost no survivors.  By.  Starting from the early morning of that day, various armies of the National Army quickly pursued the pursuit. However, after a long battle, the Japanese army was already exhausted. Based on past experience, they believed that the pursuit of the National Army must be slow and their combat effectiveness was not strong, so they retreated before  At first, many troops were negligent in their vigilance. Most of the troops behind them were overtaken by the national army, and many were surrounded by multiple national troops.

    On June 2, the pursuit battle was still in full swing, and the situation was overwhelmingly in favor of the National Army. The Japanese 13th Division, a rearguard force of about 3,000 people serving as cover and containment, was overtaken by the National Army and was  Besieged near Changyang Moshi.  At this time, in front of the Shipai position, all the enemies were defeated, and the battle near the fortress was completely out of the battle. Only then did the 11th Division have the opportunity to completely finish the battlefield.  In the past few days of hard fighting, although countless enemies were annihilated, the 11th Division also suffered heavy casualties. There were more than 9,000 men in the division. By this time, only 4,000 men were left. There were more than 5,000 men missing, and more than 3,000 of them died in battle.  , two thousand disabled.  In front of the 11th Division formation, enemy corpses were also piled up, with a total of more than 3,000 corpses in each position.  However, the number of enemies killed and wounded by the 11th Division was more than twice his own casualties.

    On June 3, Chief Chen, Deputy Chief Sun, Chief of Staff Guo and other officials returned to Sandouping again, bringing with them a large number of reporters and commendations from the central government.

    The battle is still going on at this time, but the battlefield has turned from around Shipai to Changyang, Qingjiang River in Yidu, and Yuyang River in the south. It seems to be turning in a circle. Originally, this battle to defend Shipai started from  It started here, and now it's back here.  At this time, the Shipai battlefield became quiet, and the battle here was over.

    When the leaders of the Chief's Department once again saw Zhang Xian, who they had left behind in Sandouping, they all felt very sorry to see the scarred appearance of this young and handsome combat adjutant. After all, they had spent so much time together.  Day by day, I developed feelings for this lively young man, especially Chief of Staff Guo, who honestly told Zhang Xian that seeing him reminded him of his own son.  Guo Wan had a son who was several years older than Zhang Xian, but he died on the battlefield during the Battle of Xuzhou. When he died, he was Zhang Xian's age.

    Chief Chen personally issued a transfer order and officially transferred Zhang Xian to the chief's department as combat adjutant.  Originally, a mid-level and lower-level staff officer who climbed up the ranks in a non-combat way would have to go through the division headquarters, then the military headquarters, then the group headquarters, and finally to the commander's headquarters. This process would take a year or two very quickly.  .  Even if you are directly transferred from the lower ranks to the commander's department to serve as an adjutant, you will still have to go through an evaluation period of at least half a year.  Zhang Xian was promoted unexpectedly this time, but no one raised any objections.

    Although he knew that this was the favor shown to him by his superior, Zhang Xian was not very willing in his heart, because being transferred to the superior's department meant that he was far away from his brothers and his own team. There was only intrigue here.  Some are just intrigues.  And he is more willing to be a small officer leading troops, even if it is to be a company commander.  But he is a very smart person, and he also knows that if he goes to talk to Chief Chen about this at this time, he will definitely be regarded as ignorant.  The current plan can only be left to its own devices for the time being, and at the same time, I have to express my gratitude to these officers. Maybe I will have the opportunity to join the army again in the future.  But he didn't think much about it. If he really had the chance to lead troops, the commander-in-chief would never let him become a small battalion commander.

    Chief Chen and Chief of Staff Guo asked Zhang Xian about the details of the Shipai defense battle, but Zhang Xian burst into tears and was speechless for a moment

    *********************

    Zhang Xian accompanied Chief Chen and his party to Shipai. Although the battle was still in progress, Shipai had already ushered in her rare peace, but under this calm, there was infinite sadness.

    From a distance, they saw pairs of soldiers from the 11th Division carrying water up the mountain. Everyone was silent, and the long queue was winding up, like a long silent dragon.

    Chief Chen jumped out of the car first, followed by Chief of Staff Guo and Zhang Xian. Behind them were many reporters, including the two female reporters who had taken Zhang Xian's car.

    "What are they doing?" Chief Chen turned around and asked Zhang Xian.

    Zhang Xian walked forward quickly and saw Chen Daxing at a glance. He was also carrying water, so he shouted: "Chen Daxing, come here, the officer wants to ask you a question!"

    When Chen Daxing saw Zhang Xian, he put down the burden on his shoulders and ran in front of everyone.

    Chief of Staff Guo walked up and asked pleasantly: "Young man, what are you doing with all these people carrying water from the mountains?"

    Chen Daxing stood at attention,?It turns out that this is such a bath. This is the last housework performed by the living soldiers for their dead comrades. Even if they die, they must leave their beauty.

    "I just want my soldiers to be clean when they leave!" Hu Congjun said this sentence, already choked with tears.

    Opposite the Blood Pool, not far away and facing south, there are many soldiers digging pits. Don¡¯t think too much, they are for the burial of the brothers who have been washed in the woods.  In summer, corpses decompose quickly, so they must be buried early.  Zhang Xian thought, these brothers may come from all over the world, but they finally came together, died together, and were buried together in the end. They would not be lonely anymore!  If one day, like them, I can be buried together with my brothers instead of being left alone in a barren mountain, that will definitely be a kind of happiness.

    Zhang Xian suddenly saw Liu Xiaohu. He was carried out of the blood pool. The two soldiers beside him were struggling to put on the washed military uniform for him.  He walked up quickly, with tears streaming down his face. He took off his lieutenant colonel uniform without hesitation, knelt on the ground with one leg, replaced the tattered military uniform, and put on his own clothes with his own hands.  , after putting on his clothes, he thought of something again, and quickly came to Hu Congjun and asked: "Teacher, do you have any money with you?"

    Hu Congjun was stunned for a moment, and while touching his body, he asked, "What do you want money for?"

    "I owe someone money, and I want to pay him back!"

    Hu Congjun touched his body for a long time but couldn't find anything. As a teacher, he didn't need to bring money.  He shook his head.  Chief of Staff Guo took out a dozen national coins from his body and handed it over. Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, took it in his hand, saluted him, and at the same time promised: "I will definitely pay it back!" He turned around and ran towards him.  Liu Xiaohu, under the gaze of everyone, stuffed the dozen national coins into his pocket.

    The two female reporters who had taken Zhang Xian's ride suddenly remembered the scene from Enshi that day. They also suddenly remembered what Zhang Xian had said: "I was already dead at that time. In this war  , probably all the soldiers will die." So, they shed tears and wrote this scene into their battlefield report.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
