On May 5, just as the sky was getting light, the sound of propellers was heard in the air.

Xie Zhiyu quickly ordered people to light a bonfire to indicate the direction for the transport plane to drop the bomb.

This batch of supplies, mainly rice, totaled more than 300 tons, and the sky was filled with parachute blossoms.

Xie Zhiyu stared at the sky with burning eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

Hu Zhenhua sent a total of three regiments to the Magic City. The Temporary 2nd Regiment led by Liu Guoliang and the Temporary 3rd Regiment led by Yu Xiuping have both withdrawn.

Those two regiments performed mediocrely in the war, and with heavy casualties, the remaining members were all veterans, and had been abandoned by Hu Zhenhua.

They have also made due contributions to the cause of liberation.

Only the temporary group turned out to be a blessing in disguise and became the apple of Hu Zhenhua's eye.

Xie Zhiyu felt very complicated. Although he had become a famous general of the time, that was not achieved through real military exploits.

Especially tonight, he has to perform a play!

Soon, Xie Zhiyu adjusted his mindset and thought that it was nothing to suffer a little injustice for the sake of the liberation cause.

Thinking about how he would be able to eat and drink for free in the capitalist world in the future, Xie Zhiyu felt a little excited!

"Commander, the supplies have been counted. Why is it all food this time?"

Xie Zhiyu turned his head, looked at Wang Ernao, and said with a smile,

"This is just the first batch. Tell the kitchen staff to have good food and drink available. Only when they are well fed can they work better!"

"Yes!"

Xie Zhiyu was not annoyed by this traitor, but rather admired him.

Because he brought disaster to countless reactionaries.

Let the people judge his right and wrong, merits and demerits.

Suddenly, a loud trumpet sounded from the opposite position.

"Brothers of the Temporary 1st Regiment, good morning! I have good news for you all. Your retreat has been cut off. There's no way to escape!"

"Bang bang bang!"

After a few gunshots, the loudspeaker on the opposite side went silent!

But within two minutes, the speaker was repaired!

"Brothers of the 1st Temporary Regiment, although you are surrounded like an iron barrel, don't worry. The People's Liberation Army treats prisoners well. If you are willing to stay, you can join us. If you don't want to stay, we will provide travel expenses. You all come from poor backgrounds..."

The propaganda campaign that had always been successful had almost no effect on the Temporary 1st Regiment.

It's useless to talk about benefits and treatment to those old veterans.

No matter how good your treatment is, can it be better than that of the Temporary 1st Regiment?

Use the right bait for the fish you're fishing for.

To deal with those old veterans, you have to scare them: Brothers of the 1st Temporary Regiment, you have been surrounded by us. We give you two hours to consider. If you do not surrender within the deadline, we will resolutely eliminate you!

If the other side dares to say such words, those cowards will definitely surrender!

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xie Zhiyu convened a meeting of the entire group.

"Brothers, I'm Xie Zhiyu. Last night, Liu Changyi led his troops in an uprising, cutting off our retreat. The 1st Temporary Regiment's current situation can be described in four words: a turtle in a jar!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers started shouting.

"Commander, we have repaired the simple airstrip. Can the brothers evacuate by plane?"

Xie Zhiyu nodded.

"You're right, but only a small number of people can be evacuated by plane. The higher-ups wanted me to evacuate key officers, but I refused!"

Xie Zhiyu cleared his throat and raised his voice.

"The brothers of the Temporary 1st Regiment are as close as brothers. I, Xie Zhiyu, will never abandon you and escape alone! We now have two options. One is to break out with me, or Brigade Commander Zhu will negotiate with the enemy to gain more rights for our brothers!"

Zhu Xingquan stood up, took the microphone, and said loudly,

"Brothers, the division commander is right. If you take off your uniforms now, you will be at the mercy of others. The best outcome is to become an ordinary civilian. I hope everyone will be patient for a while. Negotiations with the other side will begin soon. I will request that the 1st Temporary Regiment be expanded into a brigade. By then, everyone will be promoted to a higher rank!"

Everyone was obviously unconvinced. A soldier asked,

"We are surrounded. Will the other side accept our terms?"

Zhu Xingquan said firmly,

"Of course they'll agree, given the combat effectiveness of the 1st Temporary Regiment. If they want to take us down, they'll have to be prepared to fight tooth and nail! So I urge everyone to be vigilant. This is a critical juncture of life and death. Anyone harboring ulterior motives and attempting to engage in a tacit battle with the enemy is courting death!"

The subtext is: This is not acting!

When everyone heard that things were going to get serious, they looked at each other in surprise!

War means death!

Those old veterans all have bulging pockets, so who would be willing to take the risk?

Xie Zhiyu could tell from their expressions that many people wanted to run away!

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Zhu Xingquan continued to scare everyone,

"Brothers, don't forget how many people we have killed on the other side. If you run away without permission, do you believe that your bodies will appear in the stinking ditch tomorrow?"

People with a healthy mentality see sunshine everywhere.

But to those with ulterior motives, everything seems like a conspiracy!

In the eyes of those old veterans, human nature is evil.

Although the 1st Temporary Regiment put on a lot of drama later, at the beginning of the battle, they wiped out nearly 2 of the enemy's people!

This is a life-and-death feud!

If you are caught by the other party, you will be in trouble.

Seeing that he had frightened them, Zhu Xingquan shouted,

"If anyone wants to risk their life, just leave. I won't stop them!"

He pointed to the gate.

"If you want to leave, you can take off your uniform and hand over your gun now. The regiment will give each of you 5 meters of travel money. Let's part ways in peace!"

Zhu Xingquan changed the subject and continued,

"As for the brothers who stayed behind, those who chose to break out with the division commander will stand on the left, and those who chose to stay and negotiate with me will stand on the right!"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to choose.

The clever little Wang Erno decisively stood on the left. In his opinion, this was a test by Xie Zhiyu, with the purpose of selecting loyal people so that they could leave with him on the plane.

There are many people who hold the same idea.

Zhu Xingquan looked unhappy because more than two-thirds of the people were standing on the left.

This means that his bargaining chips are seriously insufficient!

Xie Zhiyu laughed.

"Everyone, I'm very pleased. You are all loyal to the Party and the country! After this battle, if I, Xie Zhiyu, eat a bite, you will eat half! From now on, I require everyone to be on guard and ready to attack at any time!"

Wang Ernao suddenly realized that Xie Zhiyu was not testing everyone, but was really preparing to break out.

Erwuzai immediately asked,

"Master, if the brothers are separated, where can we gather?"

"Wusongkou! There are ships there to pick us up!"

Wang Ernao's heart skipped a beat.

"Master, isn't this distance too far?"

Xie Zhiyu looked at him meaningfully.

"This battle is a life-or-death struggle. If anyone changes their mind, they can withdraw at any time. But what I want to say is that a tank assault still has a certain chance of success! If anyone doesn't want to endure the hail of bullets, they can also jump into the Huangpu River and swim to Wusongkou! Okay, I won't say any more. Everyone, prepare yourselves!"

……

At Chongnan Airport, Hu Zhenhua was giving earnest instructions.

"Once you arrive in Hong Kong, it's best to stay indoors. The situation is too chaotic right now. If you must go out, bring plenty of bodyguards. I'll have Wang Zhi send a security team to follow you. Many people are after me, so no matter who comes looking for you, don't follow them! I've already asked Zhao Zhi to arrange a villa! We're surrounded by our people, so it's safe. If you encounter any trouble in Hong Kong, you can always look for Wang Zhan, he's the financial manager of TA Group and you can trust him!"

Wang Cuicui's eyes were filled with tears.

"Sir, please come with us. We are not short of money, so why would you stay and take the risk?"

An Lan also followed suit,

"That's right, TA Group employs so many people, it's time to let them work for you. You can give them remote commands from Hong Kong!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to explain anything more.

"I will go to Hong Kong to reunite with you soon. Take good care of the children!"

Wang Yunan hummed and complained,

"It's not a matter of life or death, why are you being so fussy?"

He saw An Lan's gaze and shrank his neck in fear.

Wang Yu is also amazing. He ran to Yangcheng by himself and didn't even care about the children.

He seemed to have really made up his mind to let Lao Hu help him raise the child.

Hu Zhenhua gave Wang Yunan a slap on the head and warned him,

"Behave yourself when you get to Hong Kong. That's foreigners' territory. If you get into trouble, no one will clean up your mess!"

The little brat was not willing to be outdone, and he bumped into Lao Hu's stomach and complained,

"Tsk! Uncle Zhao is the biggest boss in Asia, there's nothing he can't handle! I heard the Governor's son is pretty arrogant, just wait and see how I teach him a lesson!"

Hu Zhenhua was shocked when he heard this!

Although the TA Group is strong, it does not have the confidence to compete with the Governor of Hong Kong.

"Boy, if you're not afraid of killing Wang Yu, just be as arrogant as you can!"

"My dad doesn't need to intervene for such a small matter. Uncle Zhao can kill that white devil with just one finger!"

Hu Zhenhua shook his head. This Zhao Zhi was too unreliable. His boasting was so outrageous!

Even the next generation of the motherland has been led astray by him.

He then sent a telegram to Wang Yu, saying that his son was going to deal with the Governor's son, to scare this bastard!

After receiving the telegram, Wang Yu was indeed scared to death. He quickly sent a telegram to Zeng Zesheng, the station chief of Xiangjiang Station, asking him to keep a close eye on Wang Yunan.

Hu Zhenhua ignored the little brat and gave Wang Cuicui a hug, followed by An Lan!

"What are you doing!"

Hu Zhenhua was startled and quickly let go of An Lan.

Wang Yunan stared at Hu Zhenhua with eyes wide open.

"Hu, what are you doing? Show me some respect!"

Hu Zhenhua was a little embarrassed when he was accused by a child, but fortunately he was thick-skinned enough to explain,

"We are saying goodbye. This is Western etiquette. Don't tell me you don't know!"

Wang Yunan's face flushed red like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Of course I know. I also know the cheek kiss!"

Hu Zhenhua took the initiative and laughed.

"To know what you know and to admit what you don't know is wisdom. Yunan, don't pretend to know when you don't know!"

Wang Yunan was just a child after all. How could he compare with Lao Hu in terms of cunning? He was soon confused and ran away!

An Lan's pretty face flushed red. Even when facing thousands of accusations, he had never been so embarrassed!

Children's words may be harmless, but they can cause great damage!

Wang Cuicui became active in her thoughts: Perhaps she could drive An Lan away from this angle.

With a smile on his face, the pain of separation from his husband was swept away. He walked forward and held An Lan's hand.

"Sister Lan, let's get on the plane. The child said something without meaning it, so don't take it to heart!"
