Chapter 26 Righteousness and Love
"Report to the commander, Rao Ping lost his way under the sneak attack of a division of the Sichuan Army!"
"What? How is this possible? You, say it again?".
The pencil in Xu Chongzhi's hand fell down, suddenly turned around, staring at his adjutant in shock, the Guangdong generals and Chiang Kai-shek who were discussing nervously, Liu Bingxian and others were shocked. Soon, they saw Liao Yuanhe, the general and county magistrate standing outside the door, dressed in disheveled clothes and wet all over.
Xu Chongzhi's eyes wide open, his thick upper lip was raised frequently, and he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the door like a halberd, pointing out: "Where did a Shichuan Army come from? Nonsense! Liao Yuanhe, come in!"
The frightened and exhausted Liao Yuanhe hurriedly entered, almost tripped by the threshold, and looked even more embarrassed when he stabilized his body: "Report to the commander, his subordinates are incompetent, but his subordinates have only one battalion of troops stationed in Raoping, and they are also responsible for protecting the supplies for the Eighth Brigade in front, transporting ammunition and medicine supplies, and storing the wounded on the front line. They are really unable to compete with the thousands of elite Sichuan troops who suddenly entered from behind!"
"I'll ask you how the enemy came from, why do you think the other party has a division?" Xu Chongzhi almost yelled.
Liao Yuanhe, who was usually timid and not valued, took a step back. After standing still, he stubbornly raised his head and gritted his teeth and replied: "Commander, until the last moment the city was broken, his subordinates were still standing on the position with guns. He clearly saw the enemy's red flying leopard battle flags with the number of 'The Second** Division directly under the Nanjing Camp'. He personally felt the enemy's dozens of mortars were fired in turn, causing the tragic situation of flesh and blood flying in the south of our city... "
Perhaps it was too sad and angry, Liao Yuanhe's voice was hoarse and his face was distorted. He paused for a moment before calming down his emotions: "As for where this Sichuan army came out, my subordinates don't know. Maybe it was from the sea, or maybe it could pass through the gap between our army's defense zone and come from the west. Anyway, my subordinates don't know, and this is not the responsibility that my subordinates should bear!
"But my subordinates clearly saw that the enemy troops rushing over were wearing a steel helmet only available to the Sichuan Army in the country, wearing a camouflage combat uniform that only to the Sichuan Army, and holding a Mauser short rifle that only to the Sichuan Army and a light machine gun with fierce firepower.
"If the brothers under his command had not paid seven lives and dragged their subordinates down from their positions, begged their subordinates to come and report the enemy situation to the commander, and let the commander find a way to rescue the brothers of the Eighth Brigade who were dragged by the Fujian army on the front line of Zhangpu and Yunxiao, the subordinates would rather die than die at the head of Raoping City!"
After listening to Liao Yuanhe's extremely tragic narrative, Xu Chongzhi and the generals in the hall were silent. They were generally discouraged and desperate about the fate of the 6,000 officers and soldiers of the Eighth Brigade. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, and because of the misjudgment of the 8,000 rebel Sichuan Army's troops in Shuikou Town, Xu Chongzhi did not inform the front departments of the Chaoshan Mutiny, which resulted in the disaster that Raoping, who was only 40 kilometers away from Chaozhou, suffered this disaster.
Before this, the always weak Fujian army suddenly changed its appearance. It even attacked at all costs and had no time to withdraw from the two main regiments of the Eighth Brigade on the front line of Zhangpu. It forced the Eighth Brigade to turn around and dare not retreat. Now the retreat route of the Eighth Brigade has been lost. Under the attack of the North and South sides of the country, the last route of life of the Eighth Brigade has also been cut off. Please remember
Xu Chongzhi waved his hand powerlessly and walked back to the large map in pain. The adjutant hurriedly went up to support Liao Yuanhe who was about to fall, and called two guards to take Liao Yuanhe to rest.
Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Bingxian looked at each other silently, feeling that the situation was over and irreversible, but they didn't know where to go.
Liu Bingxian took a deep breath. Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and said to Xu Chongzhi through the huge table: "You are brother. Yesterday, the 7th Brigade was surrounded by two divisions of the Gan Army in Jiaoling. Today, the 8th Brigade was in danger of being attacked on both sides. There were only 5,000 officers and soldiers in Meixian, and it was impossible to change the battlefield situation. Even if we concentrate our troops to rescue the whole way, it would be too late. If I make a correct judgment, within 24 hours, the enemy will launch a general attack on Meixian from three directions."
"What do you want to say?"
Xu Chongzhi's deputy commander Liang Hongkai questioned sternly, and the surrounding generals and schools also showed resentment, as if Liu Bingxian was the culprit of all these evil consequences.
Liu Bingxian didn't even look at Liang Hongkai, but continued to stare into Xu Chongzhi's eyes, and said calmly: "Brother Ru Wei may not know Xiao Yimin's character very well. According to the current situation, he will not leave any opportunity for peace negotiations for Ru Wei, otherwise, with his character, he should have sent people to contact him long ago... More importantly, Chen Jingcun's four divisions have evacuated from the Western Front battlefield, and the internal division of our revolutionary army has become a fact, and Guangzhou is completely exposed to the guns of more than 100,000 Gui troops.
"At this time, even if Ru Wei's brother leads his troops to evacuate Meixian, it's too late. I dare say that the 11th Division of Wang Zanxu, who has been staying north of Heyuan, is waiting for the rabbit on the front line of Longchuan."
Although the generals and schoolmen were resentful, after listening to Liu Bingxian's calm analysis, they were speechless. The severe reality was in front of them. No matter how resentful they were in their hearts or how strong their courage they were, they could not change the fate of failure.
Xu Chongzhi nodded heavily: "Zicheng, please continue."
Liu Bing closed his eyes in pain, opened them immediately, and expressed his plans with great firmness: "No matter what, I will go back to Guangzhou and go back to my husband. I have had a place to be sorry before. I would like to ask you to be my brother and you all. As long as I am still alive, I will continue to revolution as before, and continue to follow my husband without hesitation, with swords and fire, and death without regrets!"
The generals and the captain were shocked, and Xu Chongzhi quickly stopped him: "No, no! Brother Yu knows your plan, but you must not go back. Those rebels have lost their minds and morality and will not accept any negotiation conditions any more. You also know the situation in the past two days. All the scouts and liaison officers we sent were sniped by the rebels sent by many small troops. These extremely violent and cruel rebels may appear south of us at any time."
Liu Bingxian waved his hand: "This is my only choice, there is no other way... I also want to see who dares to shoot me Liu Bingxian!"
When Xu Chongzhi saw the perseverance and deep pain in Liu Bingxian's eyes, the generals and schoolmen looked at each other and knew very well what was going on. Many people changed their inherent views at this moment and suddenly found that Liu Bingxian in front of him deserved his respect and admiration. Under such circumstances, Liu Bingxian ignored his own safety and resolutely went to the rebel camp to negotiate, not just as simple as he said that returning to Guangzhou to follow Mr. Sun, but mainly to fight for a way out for the Eastern Route Army in Meixian.
"Let's go together!"
Chiang Kai-shek was moved and strode to Liu Bingxian and stood side by side.
Half an hour later, Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek, under the protection of a platoon of guards he brought, rode on war horses, left the south of Meixian City, and arrived at Wuli Pavilion, a fiery red flag was unfolding in the horse team galloping south.
From north to south on the hills on both sides of the Meijiang River, there were sharp eyes in the grass. They stared at the horses running south along the river bank. One muzzle was aimed at the two officers galloping in front of the horses, but none of the snipers had the heart to shoot at the two officers locked by the star.
Three and a half hours later, dozens of cavalry teams covered in dust were stopped in front of Beichanlin Temple in Shuikou Town. The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army guards guarding around Chanlin Temple saw clearly the visitors. They all lowered their heads silently, raised the steel guns in their hands, stood there in a state of motion.
Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek jumped off their horses, and looked around with their military uniforms. Seeing that no one came forward to pay attention to them, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.
At this moment, a generous laugh came from the temple gate. Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek looked in the voice and were surprised to see that the person who led a group of generals and school leaders was Lu Chuanfang, who had been separated for many years.
"Brother Zicheng, Brother Jieshi, I didn't expect to meet again in this place, haha! Thank you all the hard way!"
Lu Chuanfang greeted him loudly from afar and saluted him while walking. When he came to Liu Zicheng and Chiang Kai-shek, he stretched out his warm hands.
Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek understood completely. Facing Lu Chuanfang with a smile on his face, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and reluctantly stretched out his hand to greet Lu Chuanfang.
Liu Bingxian smiled coldly in a hurry: "I said, who can command the eight thousand brothers, and even do the feat of surprise attacking Raoping in a blink of an eye. Tsk tsk! Brother Xiangting is indeed worthy of being the confidant general of Commander-in-Chief Xiao, and he is extraordinary in his actions!"
Lu Chuanfang shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Brother Zicheng is complaining about his brothers occupying the nest? But I can answer clearly that this is the general trend, and I cannot let my brothers take their own initiative! Come on, please... Brother Jieshi invite! The commander often thinks about Brother Jieshi. This time, the commander has specially explained that if he meets Brother Jieshi, he will invite Brother Jieshi to Nanjing at any cost."
Chiang Kai-shek's heart was shocked, but there was no trace on his face. He politely responded to Lu Chuanfang for a few words, entered the hall together and stopped talking.
Liu Bingxian was not interested in the magnificent hall. He didn't even look at Lu Chuanfang and took a look. The second brigade commander Xu Tongyao, who was sitting in the face of shame, drank a large cup of tea, handed the teacup to the guard behind him, and asked for another cup. Then he wiped his mouth and looked at Lu Chuanfang with a smile with his eyes: "Brother Xiangting, are you now the commander of the 'Second** Division directly under the Nanchang Camp'?"
Lu Chuanfang waved his hand and replied politely: "It's only temporary, temporary... After Xiao Fei returns from Raoping, the division commander will have to be given to him! By the way, Brigade Commander Xu will serve as deputy division commander and chief of staff. After General Wang Zanxu's 11th Division arrives to take over the defense, this unit will be transferred to Nanjing and will be directly under the command of the commander-in-chief!"
Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek were shocked again, and suddenly discovered that Xiao Yimin's appetite was so great that it was far beyond his understanding. Before this, no one expected that Wang Zanxu's Fourth Army would occupy the Chaomei area. In this way, it would be like nailing a big nail between Guangdong and Fujian, and for the future of Guangdong and Guangxi.

-Update the first release~~The situation in Fujian will have a huge impact.
After being shocked, Liu Bingxian had no time to sigh at Xiao Yimin's big moves, and he was unwilling to think about the future trend of the Southeast. He just looked at Lu Chuanfang's eyes with a steady attitude: "What do Xiao Yimin wants to deal with me, Mr. Liu?"
Lu Chuanfang was stunned, then smiled: "You don't know the commander's character. How could he deal with Brother Zicheng? Seeing that I was just happy, I almost forgot about the big thing..."
Lu Chuanfang stood up, took out the notebook from his pocket, took out a photo clipped in it, and handed it to Liu Bingxian with both hands.
Liu Bingxian took it in confusion, his heart suddenly fluctuated and his eyes were wet. In the photo, his sister leaned against Xiao Yimin, who was holding the child, with a happy and satisfied smile on her face. In the photo, Xiao Yimin's face was smiling and looked straight ahead. The cute child in his arms stretched out his round little hands, which was extremely childish and cute. On the upper right side of the photo is Xiao Yimin's familiar font: I will remember my uncle! The signature on the lower left is: Baby nephew, Dongzheng!
Liu Bingxian suddenly raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the hall. He endured the complex emotions in his heart, took in deep air, slowly lowered his head, and returned the photo to Lu Chuanfang: "If Brother Xiangting doesn't force Liu to stay, Liu will rush to Guangzhou now."
Lu Chuanfang was shocked, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zicheng, do you really want to do this?"
Liu Bingxian laughed, untied his belt, took a look at the precious gun that Xiao Yimin gave him when he returned from studying in Japan, and finally threw it on the chair with his belt, and walked out of the hall with a tragic look on his face.
Seeing this, Chiang Kai-shek quickly stood up, smiled bitterly at Lu Chuanfang and caught up with Liu Bingxian. He quickly turned over and walked side by side with his several personal guards toward Guangzhou to the west. All the officers and soldiers along the way saw Liu Bingxian and Chiang Kai-shek from afar, and hurriedly stood on both sides. Many officers couldn't help but salute the two solemnly.
