Chapter 16 right as will

The policeman who returned to the city reported to Master Yu about the situation of Magistrate Dai and the others breaking out of the siege, and Yu Chengwan suddenly felt sad: This not only means that all the passages and escape routes are blocked, but also that Dai Jiufeng's life and death are currently unknown. His task of pulling reinforcements seems to be very difficult to complete. In the face of reality, Yu Chengwan concluded that urban warfare was inevitable. In order to ensure the core operations in Changde, he made up his mind to transfer Jindingzhou's artillery regiment to the south of Changde City as a control of the south bank of the Yuan River and a blockade of the river.For fighting on the south bank of the Yuan River and on the surface of the river, he ordered the division to issue another order:

"The 169th regiment guards the line from the left and right wharves (including) outside the east gate along the river; the 171st regiment guards the line from the left and right wharves (not included) to the electric light company, targeting the enemy attacking from Xizou City, and guarding against the enemy's encirclement from Taoyuan The plagiarism troops to the south bank of the Yuan River echoed the reinforcements at the south station; the 170th Regiment guarded the line along the river between the electric lamp company (not included) and Luolu intersection, targeting the invading enemies in Gangshi."

Since the Yuanjiang River blocked the retreat of the defenders and also blocked the way for the reinforcements of the national army, the battle of the defenders must be put to death, and there is no doubt that there will be a backwater battle. Yu Chengwanfu also strictly ordered the two regiment leaders Chai Yixin and Du Ding to The defense of Yuanjiang must be controlled by firepower, and there must be no mistakes. After the layout is ready, Yu Chengwan wants to go out for a walk. This ancient city may soon be completely changed. He is really nostalgic and can't bear it.As soon as he stepped out of the door of the original business hall of the Central Bank, a staff officer led a mud-covered sergeant over and saluted and reported to him.

"Isn't this a military postman?" He recognized the sergeant at a glance. "What? Did you send the letter and come back?" He couldn't help being a little happy, because the military postman would definitely bring some news from the friendly army when he returned to the city. However, the military postman's answer made him extremely disappointed. It turned out that the military postman brought a large package of officers and soldiers of the division, including Yu Chengwan's family letters, and crossed the river to go to Changsha to leave, but it was too late, and the vanguard of the Japanese army had blocked all intersections. , wanting to break through the blockade, but in the end they all failed in vain.He had no choice but to retreat to the South Station to find Lieutenant Meng Xueru from the intelligence station.At the last moment, he returned to the city with Lieutenant Meng's ship.

"I failed to complete the task, so I ask the division commander to punish me." The military postman bowed his head and said in shame. "It's not your fault!" Yu Chengwan comforted. This news actually hit Yu Chengwan hard, but as the leader of the first division, he was very calm, because he knew that he must not show the slightest uneasiness at such a time, otherwise it would directly affect the stability of the army. He walked around the city as originally planned, giving brief encouragement to the defending troops wherever he went, urging his subordinates to work hard to complete the task and repel the Japanese attack.Back at the division command post, it was late in the evening, and he saw his home letter that was about to be mailed but could not be sent on his small table.

The family letter aroused his infinite yearning for his wife and children in the distant spring city of Kunming. A warm and lingering feeling permeated inside his body. The scene of the whole family happily reunited together and strolling leisurely appeared in front of his eyes. His eyes controlled Can't stop blurring... He lit the lamp, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and wanted to record some words to vent the surging emotions at this moment, but for a while, his thoughts were mixed, and he didn't know how to write.He thought for a while, and finally thought, since the family letter could not be sent out, it might as well be left as a suicide note. It described a lot of the situation on the battlefield, and it could also be the historical facts after the battle, which might be of some value.Thinking of this, he swiped his pen and wrote:

After Yu Chengwan finished writing the letter, he blew out the kerosene lamp. At this moment, he felt that it might be dawn soon, because a little bit of light came in from the outside, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
