    Zhang Yi was promoted to deputy commander of the 643rd Regiment by Liu Xinghua. Bao Cheng, the former deputy commander of the 643rd Regiment, was transferred to the 645th Regiment as its commander. The original commander of the 645th Regiment was transferred to  He went to the local level to serve as county magistrate.  As the first battalion of the 643rd Regiment, its new battalion commander should not be a weakling. However, whether the battalion instructor Zuo Anjiang takes over or the new deputy battalion commander Tian Zhuangzhuang from Xiangxi takes over, Liu Xinghua will not  So satisfied, when Captain Guan and Commander Liang were a little confused, Liu Xinghua brought up Xia Yang.

    Xia Yang had served as the battalion instructor of the 20th Brigade three years ago, but because he was captured in a battle and was slandered by others after returning, he became a horse herder, but Liu Xinghua fell in love with this person.  , transferred him to the Xianghe column and became a company commander.  If you think about it carefully, if Xia Yang was not suspected or censored, how could someone like him be promoted to captain.  Now, Liu Xinghua proposed that Xia Yang take over Zhang Yi's position as the commander of the first battalion, which can be regarded as everyone's recognition of him. Such a long time has passed, and right and wrong, right and wrong have all been written into people's hearts.  , not to mention that Xia Yang had already performed very well when he served as the commander of the automobile company!  Therefore, Liu Xinghua's proposal was immediately recognized by Commander Liang San and Guan Shan, so it was a matter of course that Company Commander Xia became Commander Xia Battalion.

    There is just one thing. Xia Yang was injured when he was in western Hunan and has been receiving treatment in the hospital at the rear. Now almost two months have passed and his injury is almost healed. He is returning to the team. He still needs some time to reach Yunnan.  time.  Therefore, before Xia Yang rushed back to the troops, the 72nd Army was still chasing the enemy. In order not to affect the troops' operations, Zhang Yilai still acted as the commander of the first battalion.  Therefore, in the first battalion, he became a deputy commander and became the battalion commander. Zhang Yi also changed from "our battalion commander Zhang" to what everyone calls "our deputy commander!"

    Although he became the deputy commander, Zhang Yi still took the lead as always. The first battalion rested for a day in Balipu. After the other two combat battalions of the 645th Regiment caught up, they followed the above instructions.  The instructions were given, bypassing the city of Kunming, pointing from Tonghai to Shiping, tracking the Eighth Army of the Kuomintang that had withdrawn from the south of Kunming.

    At this time, the Eighth Army Corps of the National Army, under the leadership of Commander Tang Yao, withdrew from Kunming. In order to prevent General Li Mi and General Luo Da from returning to the army to seize power, Commander Tang reorganized the two armies and combined the two armies.  It was divided into three armies, that is, a ninth army was reorganized. Although the strength did not increase much, it became a formal regular army with three armies.  For Li Mi and Luo Da, they can only look forward to it and sigh.  But who could have predicted that this would be a blessing in disguise?  Li Mi obeyed the order of Chiang Kai-shek, who had already flown to Taiwan, and took the opportunity to go to Taiwan. However, Roda hesitated and finally went to Hong Kong via Vietnam.

    Because during the siege of Kunming, Su Zhengtao led the Eighth Army very hard and became a vanguard that was obvious to all. In order to commend the unwavering will of Deputy Commander Su, Commander Tang admired the newly formed Ninth Army.  The post of commander was appointed to him, and at the same time a division was taken from the Eighth Army as the basis for forming this new army.  In this way, Commander Tang used the newly appointed Commander Cao of the Eighth Army with 10,000 people as his left wing, and Commander Su of the Ninth Army with several thousand people as his right wing, to form a seemingly powerful corps. After moving south from Kunming,  He actually returned to the Kaiyuan and Mengzi areas safely. This is the headquarters of the Eighth Corps, and many family members of officers and soldiers have settled here.

    However, something happened to the 26th Army.  The 26th Army was the first unit to withdraw from the battlefield in Kunming. If Commander Tang wanted to do so after capturing Kunming, he would rather die together.  The 26th Army's advance withdrawal suddenly frustrated Commander Tang's wishful thinking, and he had no choice but to withdraw from Kunming with the Eighth Army.  What made Commander Tang Yao feel a little angry was that after Commander Luo left, the 26th Army became completely scattered. Each unit fought on its own and fled before them. They had long lost their determination to fight.  .  Originally, Commander Tang wanted to imitate the miracle of Zhao Zilong's retreat without any damage after Zhuge Liang's defeat at Jieting, and planned to take more than 30,000 people safely out of the country and retreat to Hainan Island via Vietnam.  The collapse of the 26th Army once again disrupted Commander Tang's plan. In anger, he ordered the removal of Xu Haibo, who he appointed as the acting commander after Commander Roda. However, the military order could no longer be issued at this time, and this order could not be issued.  I don¡¯t know if it can get into Xu Haibo¡¯s hands.

    The 26th Army did not wait for the arrival of the Eighth Army and the Ninth Army. Under the leadership of Xu Haibo, they set off from Kaiyuan and Mengzi first, taking officers, soldiers and their families with them, just like a group of refugees.  They drove military vehicles, including carts pulled by livestock, with large and small bags full of things, and fled southward along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which had long been cut off from diplomatic relations

    Xu Haibo knew that the sound of gunfire was at least several miles away. These family members have been living in relatively peaceful Yunnan and have not been baptized by war, so it is natural to be afraid.

    An orderly soldier quickly ran over from the front and reported to him that there was indeed a People's Liberation Army guarding the pass in front, blocking the only passage. They could not cross the herringbone bridge or reach the edge of the screen.

    When he heard the news, Xu Haibo couldn't help but regret once again that he didn't heed Zhang Xian's warning. However, fortunately, he had a plan in advance and was a little prepared, so his brain sobered up at this time.

    "Since you can't get to the screen, then turn west, cross Yuanjiang, and go to Yuanyang!" Xu Haibo ordered loudly, returning to his majestic nature.

    When everyone saw how calm the military commander was, the chaotic situation just now gradually subsided.

    Adjutant Fang ran over from a distance with a telegram, his face a little flustered. He looked at the group of officials surrounding Xu Haibo and handed him the telegram, telling him at the same time: "Commander Tang's  Call!".  Xu Haibo took the telegram and looked at it. His face became more and more ugly, and his hands started to tremble a little.

    "Military seat, what's going on?" an officer asked. Many people were as curious as the officer, and dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Xu Haibo.

    Xu Haibo tried his best to calm down and not get angry. He suppressed the anger he had just been filled with.  His hands stopped trembling, and he slowly folded up the telegram, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the Nanxi River. Then he turned to face the dozens of pairs of doubtful eyes, smiled, and said: "  Commander Tang reorganized the Eighth Army, took out one division to form the Ninth Army, and ordered us to cover their retreat!"

    "These bastards! They still want to take advantage of us!" An officer couldn't help but cursed loudly.  "Yes, we need to cover so they can run away! To hell with him!" Another officer also echoed.

    Xu Haibo nodded and said: "Yes, in this situation, covering means the entire army is annihilated! I definitely won't do it!" Xu Haibo raised his voice and continued: "The general is outside, the military order has been  No! Brothers, I will make my own decision today and lead everyone to retreat westward. If anyone pursues the consequences in the future, I will bear all the consequences!"

    "We are all willing to follow the army!" "Army, we will go our way, and they will go theirs. Don't let our brothers be cannon fodder anymore!" At this time, whether it was Xu Haibo's original subordinates or twenty-six  The people in the army supported him together.

    Xu Haibo turned to Adjutant Fang and said, "Adjutant Fang, go and call Commander Tang back and tell him that our 26th Army will find its own way out and don't worry about him anymore!"

    "Yes!" Adjutant Fang responded, turned around and prepared to run away.

    "Wait a minute!" Xu Haibo stopped him again: "Tell him again, if he is ready to retreat, don't come south, the Pingbian has been captured by the Communist army!"

    Adjutant Fang was stunned for a moment and ran away in response.

    Xu Haibo is actually a signal to Commander Tang, which means that they are already surrounded by the People's Liberation Army on three sides. If they are not ready to escape at this time, then no one will be able to escape by then!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
