It was already close to dawn when the remaining 400 or so wounded officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment found the chariot company and the civilian team.

Zhang Tianhai, who had led the people out of the Japanese defense lines, had already come to say goodbye to them.

It is said that farewell after a thousand miles must be said goodbye. Although Zhang Tianhai did not take them a thousand miles away, they still walked through the fire blockade with the most fierce firepower of the Japanese army. It was time to say goodbye.

Standing at the front of the captured armored vehicle, looking at the people who had been gathered together, the stone in Zhang Tianhai's heart had been put down - he had tried his best, and he could face himself late at night.

Zhang Tianhai took a deep breath and said loudly: "Common people and fellow villagers, after seeing my face, I believe that after a few days of getting along with each other, everyone will know me, Zhang Tianhai. Yes, I am the one who defeated the army."

Temporary leader. As the ancients said, after a long journey, you must say goodbye. Now it's time to say goodbye. We have broken through the Japanese blockade and pursuit. Everyone, please leave quickly. Don't go back to Nanjing!

"

As soon as Zhang Tianhai finished speaking, Ma San and his family, who were standing in the front row of the civilian team, knelt down gently and kowtowed to him: "Chief Zhang, you and all the officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment are responsible for saving my family."

My great kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by me, Ma San! One day, if Chief Zhang wants to use me, Ma San, he will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

The common people were already very grateful to Zhang Tianhai and others for rescuing them, and they also knew how many officers and soldiers the penetration regiment had sacrificed because of rescuing them. However, they were ordinary common people and had no abilities, so they were unable to repay their kindness.

That kind of thing.

So when it was time to say goodbye, the more than 3,000 people knelt down in a dark mass, still saying something like "Thank you to Commander Zhang for his great kindness" and "I wish Commander Zhang and his family peace and good fortune."

some type of.

Zhang Tianhai knew that these ordinary people no longer had the ability to do anything, and even surviving was a very difficult thing. This was the highest courtesy for them to express their gratitude.

"Everyone, get up! Get up and leave as soon as possible! Although the little devils won't come after us in a short time, there's no guarantee that they won't change their minds. So hurry up and leave. You can go anywhere.

In short, just don’t go back to Nanjing." Looking at the dark crowd in front of him, Zhang Tianhai knew that he made the right choice this time.

The skin on the right side that had been scratched by the Japanese bayonet had already formed blood scabs, and wisps of cold wind gently blew through Zhang Tianhai's damaged clothes. Goosebumps had already appeared on the skin near Zhang Tianhai's wound, but Zhang Tianhai had no

Notice that his attention is entirely on the people in front of him.

After listening to Zhang Tianhai's words, the people began to stand up one after another, but before leaving, they all took a deep look at Zhang Tianhai, as if they wanted to remember him deeply in their minds, but they looked at Zhang Tianhai.

The goosebumps that just disappeared are showing signs of coming back again...

…

Compared to the bustle at Zhang Tianhai's place, the new site of the Wuhan Military and Political Department seemed relatively deserted. It was only six o'clock in the morning and it was still dark.

He Yingqin got up after taking a nap in his office last night. At his age, if he wanted to sleep more, it would be impossible.

As soon as he came downstairs, He Yingqin heard two lieutenant colonels and staff members discussing each other.

"Old Li, did you know? Last night, a unit from the Nanjing Garrison broke out. It was Deng Longguang's 83rd Army." A relatively young lieutenant colonel looked like he was holding back big news.

generally.

"Deng Longguang's 83rd Army? Isn't that the Cantonese Army? According to the breakout plan formulated by the Seventh Theater Commander's Headquarters, as long as they don't disobey orders, they can basically break out, right?" said Staff Officer Li.

"The breakout was a breakout, yes, but this force actually liberated Wuhu with a force directly under the Seventh Theater Command. It's just that the Military Commission has ordered the 83rd Army to withdraw from Wuhu."

The young staff officer continued chattering.

Staff Officer Li frowned and said: "Counsel He, it is normal to withdraw from Wuhu. Wuhu does not have the conditions to hold on now. There are no guns, no artillery and no reinforcements. Even the nearest reinforcements are in the direction of Xuancheng."

"This is not the most important thing. What is important is that the Military Commission sent a retreat telegram an hour ago, but the 83rd Army only retreated after uniting with the directly subordinate troops from the 7th Theater to recover Wuhu.

"." That Staff Officer He was still full of excitement, as if this was something very worthy of praise.

But He Yingqin, who was behind the two staff officers and heard these words clearly, frowned - he always felt that this was not a good thing.

Although it is said that the general will be outside and the emperor's orders will not be affected, this sentence refers to ancient times: because ancient communications were quite underdeveloped, and war is also a thing that pays great attention to timing, which is what we usually call fighter planes, so when fighter planes appear

At this time, if you ask for orders from the king again, your opportunity has been missed.

But this is modern times. With communications so advanced, there are still troops who dare to disobey orders and perform meritorious service. This is not a good sign. If this trend becomes a habit, it will not be a good sign for the national army's saying "Soldiers should obey

"Commanding is a bounden duty" would have a fatal impact.

Therefore, Minister He had an idea in mind, and he heard a telegram from Nanjing Garrison Commander Tang Shengzhi a few days ago, saying that all the agencies and troops directly under the theater had crossed the river, including him, Minister He, who had catalyzed the establishment of the

The German Arms Reinforcement Regiment - the first regiment directly under the third theater.

So where did this unit directly under the Seventh Theater (i.e. Nanjing Garrison Area) come from? Which unit was so bold and disobedient on the battlefield?

Such a directly affiliated unit must be a unit of the Central Army, so He Yingqin had to find out who did it.

So, Minister He returned to the office and made a call: "Hello, I'm He Yingqin, pick me up from the Secret Service. I'm calling Director Dai!"

After the call was connected, He Yingqin said: "Hello, Yunong, I am He Yingqin. I need you to help me check now which unit of the Central Army is the unit that liberated Wuhu with the 83rd Army Headquarters in Wuhu

, I need to know as soon as possible."

"Okay, Director of Education." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, and then hung up.

…
