    The sound of guns and artillery from the tiger's mouth became more and more intense. The shells fired by the enemy's self-propelled artillery were swirling in the valley. This kind of artillery fire mostly came from tank attacks, and the sound of explosions reached everyone's ears.  In the ears, some exploded near here, causing the person's eardrums to burst.  Zhang Xian knew that his brother Zhang Yi and his men must have been under tens of millions of kilograms of pressure at the tiger's mouth.  Although the terrain of Laohuzui is easy to defend and difficult to attack, enemy artillery fire and aircraft bombing are difficult to hit, and tanks cannot drive up the steep cliffs. However, enemy tanks' self-propelled artillery, small-caliber light mountain guns and mortars  But it can move close to the Laohuzui position and play a big role. After all, at this time, the regiments of the 215th Division have limited firepower during the retreat, and there are not even many mortars left.  , not to mention the cover of artillery fire. In addition to a few light and heavy machine guns, there are only some light weapons; the only ones that can really exert power may be grenades and grenades that can be used in short-range fire suppression.

    Zhang Xian knows very well that no matter how good the geographical location is, he cannot control it forever. Under the impact of the enemy's powerful firepower, Tiger Mouth will eventually be lost. The only thing he can hope for now is that his younger brother Zhang Yi can lead the June Fourth Movement.  The third group prolonged this process. As long as they could hold on until dark, it would be victory.

    However, in the face of the telegram order issued by Xiong Zhuoran, with the current morale and combat capabilities of the 215th Division, how easy is it to stand firm in Beihuiling and wait for reinforcements?  Maybe it would be okay to hold on for half a day and one night, but when dawn comes the next day, all the ammunition will be used up, so what will they use to hold on?  Do we have to use the lives of the soldiers?  And can those so-called reinforcements really arrive?  Most of the time, I look at plum blossoms to quench my thirst and draw cakes to satisfy my hunger!

    Before Zhang Xian and Lu Fan entered the communications office, they saw Wang Dahu in the corridor outside, leaning against a pillar and meditating. His head was still wrapped in a bandage, and his face had been washed, but it was still as pale as paper.  , the hygienist Ning Li was moving a wooden stool for him to sit down.

    "Sir!" Zhang Xian walked over quickly and called out respectfully.

    Wang Dahu then raised his head from his deep thoughts, glanced at him, and nodded slightly. Then he seemed to react, suddenly woke up, and then noticed that it was Zhang Xian who came over. He couldn't help but  Asking: "How's it going?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment. Wang Dahu asked such a meaningless question without a subject, which made him a little confused. However, he thought he was asking about the situation of the 215th Division in Beihuiling at this time. He immediately asked  He made a report: "The enemy's pursuers have come over. The 643rd Regiment is guarding the tiger's mouth. I asked the 646th Regiment to guard Phoenix Rock. The 644th Regiment is setting up defenses along both sides of the road in the valley. Now, our  The battle to the south is underway!¡±

    "Oh!" Wang Dahu responded casually, not sure if he understood it clearly, and then he lowered his head and began to think deeply. It was obvious that there was something on his mind, and he was a little absent-minded.

    Zhang Xian and Lu Fan looked at each other. Both of them knew that since Wang Dahu's head was injured, he had a high fever. Although he had woken up at this time, his physical and mental state was still in the same state.  In this confusion, although everyone can also see that Mr. Wang is trying hard to restore himself to his usual wisdom, this is not something that can be done in a short while, and most of the time, he is still sleeping, as if  Being able to walk around alone today is already very good.

    "Division commander, the military headquarters requires our division to stand firm in Beihuiling and wait for reinforcements. I wonder what your plans are?" Zhang Xian asked him bluntly. He believed that at this time, this issue must be discussed openly.

    Wang Dahu raised his head and glanced at him again. Maybe he felt a little tired. He leaned his head on the pillar, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Maybe he was thinking about this issue just now. He spent a long time  After that, he opened his eyes again, looked directly into Zhang Xian's expectant eyes, and said feebly: "Of course you must implement the orders from your superiors!"

    "But, we cannot execute this order!" Zhang Xian immediately said to him in a very strong tone: "If we execute this order, then our entire 215th Division will be eaten by the enemy!"

    Wang Dahu¡¯s tired eyes immediately opened wide, then dimmed again after a while. He lowered his head again and did not answer, as if he was deep in thought again.

    "With the combat capability of our 215th Division, we can only hold on until dawn tomorrow at most. If we don't break out tonight, our division will really have no chance at all!" Zhang Xian told his division commander very sincerely.  : "The reinforcements cannot be reached, whether it is in the direction of Shicangli or Xinpuli, the two divisions?I felt how good the joke was, but I still looked weak. I covered my head again, maybe thinking about the difficult problem again, and started to have a headache again.

    "Sir, we must break out tonight!" Zhang Xian suggested again.

    Cao Shuang also finished reading the leaflet in his hand, but he tore it into pieces. He also suggested: "I think we should contact our superiors before talking! Haha, the enemy may be scaring us."

    "They don't need to scare us!" Zhang Xian said solemnly: "They have the strength. They said they would attack us tomorrow. This can't be false. Now we can only believe that they have it rather than that they don't have it. We must  We must break through tonight!"

    Wang Dahu finally made up his mind. His eyes turned to Zhang Xian, then to Cao Shuang, and finally to Lu Fan. He said to him: "Commissioner Lu, please contact the military department again and tell me  We request an overnight breakout!"

    Lu Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he answered the question and entered the communications office.

    Although he got Wang Dahu's approval, Zhang Xian was still a little worried. He knew that even if Commander Wang agreed with him, he would not dare to disobey Xiong Zhuoran's military order. If Xiong Zhuoran did not agree with the breakout of the 215th Division, then all of his  All of his expectations would come to nothing, and based on his understanding of Xiong Zhuoran, unless the regiment's telegram clearly stated that the 215th Division should break out, Commander Xiong would definitely stick to the telegram from the regiment and would not make the slightest change.  However, he had no way of knowing what the Corps was thinking!

    However, one thing is certain, that is, the danger of the 215th Division must have been noticed by the superiors at this time, otherwise the superiors would not have arranged for two divisions of reinforcements to come to meet them; one thing is actually very clear.  Things, at this time, the top priority of the 215th Division is no longer to cut off the rear for the corps, but how to escape from danger!  Otherwise, the higher-ups would not have sent two more divisions to rescue them.  Obviously, sending two divisions to rescue is far from enough troops. The people above have not yet realized the intensity of the enemy's counterattack and the speed of reaction!

    In fact, if the 215th Division can break out of the encirclement on its own and get rid of the enemy's encirclement, that will be the true manifestation of the superiors' intentions. But why doesn't Commander Xiong understand?  Do you want the 215th Division to stay put and wait for reinforcements?

    When he thought of this, Zhang Xian didn't want to think about it anymore, but a bold plan emerged in his mind.

    Lu Fan personally used a telegram to contact the headquarters of the 72nd Army, but was unable to contact him. Everyone became impatient with waiting. Zhang Xian was also a little restless. Hearing the sound of gunfire outside, he  Finally, he walked out of the small backyard and saw He Qiang sitting in the corner with a soldier dozing off. He immediately woke him up.

    He Qiang rubbed his sleepy eyes, wondering what happened.

    Zhang Xian couldn't help feeling a little emotional. In a place where such a battle was happening around him, there were still people who could sleep. This also showed that everyone was under a heavy load and was exhausted.  In fact, didn't he himself not have a good sleep for several days in a row?

    "Go to Tiger's Mouth immediately and call Xiong Sanwa back!" Zhang Xian ordered He Qiang.  Xiong Sanwa followed Wu Xiaoyang and was left there by Zhang Xian to help Zhang Yi's 643rd Regiment defend.

    He Qiang was stunned for a moment, agreed, and quickly ran out of the gate of the ruined temple.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
