    From the interrogation of the captured soldiers, Zhang Xian and Tang Yun simultaneously learned some inside information about the Eighth Army Corps of the National Army. The three armies of the Eighth Army Corps were actually only two armies. The Eighth Army was divided into the Eighth Army.  and the Ninth Army, but the strength has not yet been restored. Although the number has been increased by one army, there are still so many people.  What is interesting is that in the Eighth Corps, the 26th Army took the lead and evacuated from Jianshui and Kaiyuan areas. After the places such as Maguan and Pingbian in the south were occupied by the People's Liberation Army, the 26th Army has been divided into several forces.  They fled to the west like a group of bereaved dogs, crossed the rolling Yuanjiang Tianchi, and had already escaped into the Ailao Mountain.  These captured soldiers were all the rearguards of the Eighth Army, and they were still making fun of the 26th Army's embarrassment. It wasn't until they became prisoners that they realized that it was not embarrassment, but brilliance!

    These prisoners also told Zhang Xian and Tang Yun another piece of news. The Eighth Army Corps, under the command of Commander Tang, with the Ninth Army as its left wing and the Eighth Army as its right wing, along with many officers, soldiers and family members, gave up.  Fleeing south to Vietnam, turning westward, preparing to cross the Yuanjiang River, following the footsteps of the 26th Army, they went to the southwestern region of Yunnan in order to open up an anti-communist base.

    This is indeed a very important piece of news, which made Tang Yun and Zhang Xian feel the urgency of time at the same time.  Without waiting to discuss with Zhang Xian, Company Commander Tang immediately sent a report and contacted his superiors, reporting to them the situation here and the direction in which the enemy was retreating.  And Tang Yun quickly received the order from his superiors, which was to continue the pursuit!

    Zhang Xian also used the wireless telegraph phone to report the situation here to Zhang Yi, and also informed the superiors of the whereabouts of the Eighth Corps. However, the order he received was to take his reconnaissance squad back to the First Battalion.  .

    Zhang Xian's order puzzled Wu Xiaoyang and others. Tang Yun could lead his company to chase the enemy, but they had to turn back to Qujiang Town. That was not giving up the upcoming credit to the Tenth  Are the three armies ready?

    "Orders are still orders after all, and as a soldier, you must obey them unconditionally. Zhang Xian didn't say anything. He just told Tang Yun and took his squad back to Qujiang Town.  This sudden reunion, and they had to break up before they could say anything more, Company Commander Tang was a little reluctant to part with them. After all, they were wounded friends who came out of the same tent. They said a lot of cherished words to each other, and then they parted reluctantly.

    "This battle has come to an end!" When we parted, Tang Yun said with certainty: "This is the last battle here. The only thing left for the Kuomintang soldiers is to run away. Now as long as we run fast and catch up, we can capture the prisoners.  !" He was so optimistic and completely proud of a winner.

    Zhang Xian just nodded and did not respond to his words, but think about it, at this time, it may indeed be the last battle on the mainland of China. If you want to make a contribution, you can only seize this last opportunity.  .  But he has not forgotten that Zhang Yi made the same mistake as Old Tang back then, so he can only warn him that when even the weakest rabbit is fighting back, even if victory is within grasp, it must not be taken lightly.

    Tang Yun just smiled casually, not knowing whether he took it into his heart.

    Back in the first battalion in Qujiang, Zhang Yi was already waiting impatiently for their return. As soon as he saw Zhang Xian, he immediately pulled him into his command room and escorted everyone else out.  The two of them were left and Song Tiedan was guarded outside the courtyard, and he would immediately notify others when they came in.

    Seeing his brother making such troublesome arrangements, Zhang Xian felt a little funny in his heart. He knew that this brother must have encountered some difficulties again and wanted to solve it himself.

    Sure enough, when there were only two of them left in the room, Zhang Yi told him hurriedly: "The army commander will not let us pursue southward anymore. He wants our regiment to turn around immediately and go westward, and requires us to return in three days' time."  Before it got dark, I rushed to Zhenyuan County at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, but didn't explain the situation. Our first battalion must arrive on time. I guessed for a long time, but I still couldn't guess what Commander Liu meant!"

    Zhang Xian couldn't help but be stunned. Now the enemies have gathered on both sides of the Yuanjiang River. Seeing that the Thirteenth Army is about to catch up with the last regiment of the national army, the battle in Yuanjiang is already imminent. Liu Xinghua  But he ordered the 643rd Regiment to stay away from the battlefield, cross the Yuanjiang River, and head southwest. What was the purpose of this?  He walked to a 1/500,000 map of Yunnan spread on the table. After thinking about it for a moment, he came to some understanding and nodded slightly to his brother's question.

    "Oh? Do you know what he means?" Zhang Yi asked quickly.

    Zhang Xian snorted from his nostrils and said with some dissatisfaction: "Liu Xinghua is trying to pull out all the firepower and want to wrap up the entire Eighth Army! Humph! His appetite is quite big!"

    Zhang Yi?The company was surrounded by about one battalion of the enemy in a mountain village called Xiazhaizi. The battle was very fierce. Considering that the only friendly force closest to them was Zhang Yi's battalion, Company Commander Tang naturally  Liaison officers were dispatched to ask for help.

    Hearing the news, both Zhang Yi and the other commanders in the first battalion, as well as Zhang Xian, couldn't help but be shocked. What surprised everyone was that in such a situation where the troops were defeated like a mountain, it really happened.  There will be enemies who can think of an ambush. It seems that the national army commander who arranged the ambush of Tang Yun Company of the Thirteenth Army is really not simple.

    What makes Zhang Yi a little embarrassed is that this is the time when his first battalion is about to leave. If he rushes south to rescue Tang Yunlian, although it is only a dozen miles of mountain road there, he is afraid that the enemy will be driven away.  , it would take a day to rescue the friendly troops, so it would be impossible to arrive at the designated place on time according to Liu Xinghua's order; if he did not rescue, would he have to sit back and watch Tang Yunlian be eaten by the enemy?

    The rescue must be done, but the task must be completed. This is Zhang Yi's dilemma.  Therefore, after weighing the situation, Zhang Yi made a correct decision and sent a company to rescue Tang Yun Company, while he took the main force of the first battalion and continued to rush from Xinping to Zhenyuan County in accordance with Commander Liu's order.

    Undoubtedly, Zhang Yi¡¯s decision was right. Although the national army surrounded Tang Yunlian, a battalion of troops could not quickly eliminate them. This also shows how powerful this national army is!  It is more than enough to use one company to rescue and attack Tang Yun's company from both inside and outside without trying to annihilate all the enemies.

    The first company of the first battalion was sent out. Deputy commander Zhang Yi also ordered the commander of the first company to catch up from behind immediately after rescuing Tang Yun's company and try to reach the designated place on time.

    Zhang Xian's reconnaissance team belonged to the First Company, so he naturally left the main force of the First Battalion with the First Company and rushed to the Xiazhaizi area in the southwest to rescue Tang Yun Company. However, when leaving the First Battalion, Zhang Xian  Xian felt guilty for some reason. He always felt that his brother was too unstable and was afraid that he would not listen to her good advice!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
