However, the development of the situation was far beyond Zhang Xian's expectation and was worse than he could have imagined.
Before Bai Jingsheng and his men could rush out of Chenji, a force of the People's Liberation Army came in from the side. They obviously bypassed the blocking position of Chen Daxing's guard camp, and still used a large depth and fierce attack. , this tactic was not terrible for the 11th Division a few days ago, but at this time it was undoubtedly a disaster for the thousands of defeated troops who had no intention of fighting.
??The sound of gunshots rang out in every corner of the village in an instant, as if the People's Liberation Army had thousands of troops and was everywhere.
The people crossing the bridge became more and more confused. The team that had just achieved some order suddenly broke into chaos again. The people waiting to cross the bridge at the back ignored the machine gun positions at the bridge head and swarmed towards the bridge head.
At this time, at the bridge head, Xiong Sanwa and a group of people were vigorously protecting the only passage, trying hard to maintain order here, forming a human wall to intercept the officers and soldiers who were trying to rush over. There was one The officer of the 118th Division, who regarded himself as a major, was mercilessly shot to death by Xiong Sanwa when he rushed over. Faced with the real threat, the panicked officers and soldiers finally regained some composure.
Bai Jingsheng ran back from a distance. His head was covered with sweat and he was out of breath. He came to Zhang Xian and reported: "Master, it's too late. The enemy has already invaded Chenji. If we don't leave, everyone will leave." No more!"
As soon as these words came out, the division commanders around Zhang Xian became a little panicked.
Zhang Xian's heart also trembled. He turned around and looked at the officers and soldiers who had crossed the river and those who had not. Suddenly, he felt a sense of despair that he was about to be destroyed.
"Have you crossed the river, Chief Hu?" Zhang Xian asked an adjutant beside him.
"He has crossed the bridge safely under the protection of Deputy Commander Wu and Battalion Commander Mei Zhanyuan!" the adjutant replied quickly.
Zhang Xian's mind was thinking rapidly. Even if he could cross the bridge at this time, only a small number of people could cross the bridge. As a commander, of course he could cross the bridge first. But what happens next? If the bridge is not blown up, even if you cross the bridge, you will still become a prisoner of the Communist army. At this time, you must have the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist. You must not delay any longer, otherwise no one will be able to get through.
"Okay, let's cross the bridge!" Zhang Xian finally gave the order, and at the same time said to Bai Jingsheng: "After we cross the bridge, you must also cross the bridge immediately, and then blow up the bridge immediately!"
Bai Jingsheng nodded.
"What about these people who have not crossed the bridge?" Long Tianya was still a little unwilling. Most of these people were the officers and soldiers of the 118th Division he brought out.
Zhang Xian glanced at him and could only tell him helplessly: "There is no way, I can't take care of it anymore!"
For a moment, both Long Tianya, Li Xianfa, and other adjutants and staff members were silent.
Zhang Xian led the 11th Division Headquarters and the officers of the 118th Division such as Long Tianya and Li Xianfa to the bridge. Xiong Sanwa naturally ordered all the people who were crowding towards the stone bridge to get out of the way and let these officers pass first. . At the moment, Long Tianya was in front, followed by many generals, lining up to the south bank of Beifei River. Zhang Xian was walking at the end, but did not get on the bridge. Instead, he looked back at the frightened and anxious pairs at the end of the bridge. eyes, all of which were staring at him with the same goal, and he suddenly felt that he was helpless to face them.
"Commander!" A wounded man shouted. Zhang Xian looked closely and saw that it was Yu Deshui, so he nodded. "Teacher, do you want to go first?" Yu Deshui asked casually without knowing what was good or bad. However, facing this question, Zhang Xian felt that his face suddenly became hot and he didn't know how to answer.
The people behind started to commotion again, and someone was already shouting: "Mr. Zhang, let's go first, let's run!" This voice was like a time bomb, which immediately exploded the people who were restlessly waiting to cross the bridge. As soon as the flowers were gone, the crowd once again became confused and rushed towards the bridge, pushing Xiong Sanwa and others back step by step.
"Brother, let's go quickly!" Xiong Sanwa shouted. At this time, all the officers had already boarded the bridge, and only Zhang Xian remained at the north end of the bridge.
Zhang Xian didn't seem to notice. He knew that he had to stabilize the morale of the army first, otherwise chaos would really break out and everyone would still be unable to cross the bridge. At that moment, he raised his legs and jumped onto the stone railing at the head of the bridge. He was half taller than everyone else, waving his arms and shouting: "Don't mess up, everyone. I haven't left yet. I'm with you." Together!"
Seeing that Zhang Xian was indeed on the north side of the river and not across the bridge, everyone calmed down and felt that with a reassuring drum, the chaos that had just arisen calmed down again.Xinghua also fulfilled his promise. Before it got dark, hot porridge and fragrant steamed buns were delivered. These national army officers and soldiers camped along the river, each one like a hungry wolf, regardless of The porridge was piping hot and the steamed buns were dry and cold. They devoured them voraciously. Many people burned their mouths with the porridge and choked on the steamed buns. They were still frantically grabbing food, leaving the People's Liberation Army soldiers who distributed the food dumbfounded.
The sky turned dark again, and the sky that had been sunny all day became gloomy again, with snowflakes falling again. After obtaining Liu Xinghua's consent, Zhang Xian brought his people into Chenji Village in order to have a place to shelter from the cold. The place was busy until late at night before it calmed down. At this time, Zhang Xian called in Captain Han Jue and arranged for him the content to be handed over with Liu Xinghua tomorrow.
"What? Master, won't you be here tomorrow?" Captain Han was very surprised by Zhang Xian's arrangement.
Zhang Xian shook his head and told him honestly: "Old Han, let me tell you the truth. From the beginning, I had no intention of actually surrendering to Liu Xinghua. As your school officer, if you surrender to the general, you will at most be educated by them. , those who cannot be reused are most likely to be released to their hometowns; those below lieutenant officers will have an easier time, and some may even be able to be absorbed by them and become their soldiers or technicians! Haha, the final result of my major general , they may be treated as war criminals!¡±
Han Jue was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhang Xian's analysis was good. He then asked: "So, what are your plans, Master?"
Zhang Xian nodded and said: "So I can't let the mermaid be eaten by me. I'm going to run away tonight and get out of here!"
"Should we go back to Bengbu or Fengtai?" Han Jue asked again.
Zhang Xian shook his head again and said sadly: "Although the battle of Xu Bang is not over yet, the winner has been decided. This can be said to be a decisive battle between us and the Communist Party. After this battle, I'm afraid There is no longer a place for the national army to stand between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. It seems that the defeat of the national army will be a matter of time. It would be unwise for me to return to the national army at this time!"
Han Jue understood immediately and asked again: "Are you going back to Wuhan?"
Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and then told him leisurely: "The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. There will eventually be a place for me, Zhang Xian, to gain a foothold in this world!"
Han Jue was silent and did not ask any more questions.
When it dawned the next day, Liu Xinghua personally led people to Chenji Village early, but he did not see Zhang Xian. Han Jue told him that Zhang Xian quietly took advantage of the heavy snowfall that night. left, followed by Xiong Sanwa and Chen Daxing.
Suddenly, Liu Xinghua felt angry that he had been deceived, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists. He really began to regret why he didn't follow Xiong Zhuoran's advice and keep an eye on Zhang Xian. He originally wanted to compare his feelings with others, but he believed in Zhang Xian's character. It's like believing in yourself, but you didn't expect this kind of result.
It was not until afterwards that Liu Xinghua felt relieved. For Zhang Xian, it was normal for him to make such a choice. After all, he had a lot of Communist blood on his hands. It would be strange for him not to be afraid.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang asked me to hand over a letter to you before he left!" Han Jue told Liu Xinghua.
"Where's the letter?" Liu Xinghua asked.
Leader Han took out the letter from his underwear pocket. Obviously, he regarded this letter as a very important item and was afraid of losing it.
Liu Xinghua unfolded the paper, and the paper reflected the pen calligraphy he was familiar with. The writing was strong and beautiful, and the content was just a poem by Tao Yuanming:
