    When night fell, Hu Congjun, under the leadership of Huang Wei, had returned to the regiment headquarters in Xiaomazhuang. After just a short rest, he immediately summoned the corps commanders and division commanders to a meeting in the sheltered operations headquarters.  This so-called cover operation department is an underground bunker dug by the engineering troops to find a favorable terrain in the village to prevent destruction by enemy artillery fire.

    In fact, in order to prevent the People's Liberation Army's artillery strikes, the Eighteenth Army and the Tenth Army also worked hard, and a lot of effort was put into just the issue of artillery shell storage.  First, let the engineers dig a large hole in the ground, hide the artillery shells deep inside, and then cover it with soil to prevent unnecessary losses caused by enemy artillery hitting the arsenal.  Every day when the land is used, engineers are sent to dig it out.  Although this is troublesome, overall it is relatively safe.

    Before the meeting started, while waiting for everyone to arrive, Hu Congjun asked Yang Tao and Zhang Xian to accompany him to the company of the 11th Division to see the situation of the officers and soldiers. It was just in time for everyone to have dinner.  When Hu Congjun appeared in the first battalion of the 31st Regiment stationed in Pinggudui, all the officers and soldiers couldn't help but get excited. Some people had already heard about Chief Hu's return, but when they saw him actually appearing here, they still couldn't help but get excited.  A burst of excitement was unavoidable, everyone had great expectations for Chief Hu.

    When Hu Congjun looked at the rice porridge that was as clear as water in the hands of the soldiers, his expression became extremely serious, and he couldn't help but ask Zhang Xian: "How many rations do you still have in the 11th Division?"

    Zhang Xian gave a wry smile and told him honestly: "It's almost gone. Everyone has been hungry for a few days!"

    Yang Tao on the side said: "The 11th Division is pretty good. Ever since entering Shuangduiji, Zhang Xian ordered the 11th Division to save food, so their division can still hold on until now. The 118th Division had no more food the day before yesterday.  We have enough food, and other troops are even more miserable than us, and now everyone relies on airdrops to survive!"

    Looking at the hungry looks of the soldiers, Hu Congjun felt unspeakable discomfort all over his body, and then asked: "How long can the air force's daily airdrops of supplies last us?"

    Yang Tao and Zhang Xian shook their heads at the same time. Yang Tao said: "Although the Air Force is airdropping supplies every day, these are only a drop in the bucket. Take food as an example. The Air Force will airdrop supplies every afternoon in the afternoon. In the first few days, it can still be used for emergencies."  , it was enough, but in the following days it got worse and worse, and the supplies dropped were simply not enough!"

    Zhang Xian also said: "Actually, when we came out of Mengcheng, communication with the rear was cut off. We had food for nearly 120,000 people in our 12th Corps; hay for nearly 2,000 mules and horses; four hundred  Fuel required for multiple motor vehicles and other machinery; more than a hundred mountain guns, field guns, howitzers, hundreds of small-caliber guns, thousands of light and heavy machines, nearly 30,000 rifles, submachine guns, etc. every day  The ammunition swallowed; as well as communication equipment, health equipment, medical supplies, etc.; the total consumption of these should be more than hundreds of tons, and the Air Force cannot solve our difficulties. At the beginning, the military's automobile units and baggage units carried  The amount of food, ammunition and fuel is only enough for five to seven days. Due to the unclear combat policy, no one has ever advocated saving food and ammunition, so by this time, running out of ammunition and food will naturally happen!"

    Listening to Zhang Xian's report, Hu Congjun's face became more and more gloomy, and the enthusiasm that was infected by everyone when he first met the soldiers was wiped away.

    "What's worse!" Yang Tao continued: "Some of the supplies dropped by the Air Force floated to the Communist positions and became enemy supplies. It was the rice and noodles dropped by the Air Force. Because we had no firewood, we also  There is no way to cook a meal, so every time a village is captured, the logistics department personnel of each army will rush in. In addition to digging the ground to search for edible and edible things hidden by the people, they even have to move the thatch from the roof.  Use it all as fuel to bury the pot and make rice!¡±

    Zhang Xian nodded and said sadly: "Junzuo, now we are holding on in Shuangduiji, just sitting and waiting for death. If this continues, even if the Communist army does not attack us, we will be in chaos! We should still take the initiative to look for opportunities to break out! Only  Only in this way can there be a glimmer of life!¡±

    Hu Congjun nodded, his face still gloomy, but he didn't say a word.

    The meeting started on time, but under the dim light of the lanterns, the atmosphere in the venue was extremely depressing.

    "This time I followed President Chiang's order and came to the front line to express condolences to everyone!" At the beginning, Hu Congjun did not say anything about Chou Yinmao, but encouraged everyone like this: "The president knows that we are here  The war is tense, so two lines of reinforcements have been sent over. Director Du Yuming and Du from the north have already set off from Xuzhou with three regiments, while Li Yannian and Liu Yan from the southConfess truthfully.

    "Please rest assured, I, Hu Congjun, can swear to you today that after I return to Nanjing to report the situation to the president, I will definitely return to Shuangdui and advance and retreat with you. If I break my promise, I will die without a burial!"  "Hu Congjun's words were sonorous and powerful, making people's blood boil.

    After a period of silence, a burst of warm applause suddenly broke out in the venue. This time, even Zhang Xian and Yang Tao were infected and clapped vigorously.  .  Zhang Xian couldn't help but think of the poem that Yang Tao read to him: "As long as the flying generals in Longcheng are here, I won't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yinshan Mountains!" Indeed, Hu Congjun was a flying general in the national army. If the Twelve Corps had  If he had been the commander instead of Huang Wei, how could the Twelve Corps have fallen into such a quagmire that it is now difficult to extricate itself?

    The guards outside the bunker didn¡¯t know what was going on inside, so they poked their heads in one after another, wanting to know who the applause was for!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
