Chapter 1539 The city is broken
Hucha battlefield.
Guo Yu's new first army, except for the Second Division that could no longer be contacted, suddenly broke out in regiment-level and battalion-level units.
This battle is no longer a battle to support the Tang and Zhang faction to the top, but a breakthrough battle that concerns one's own life and death.
From senior generals to commanders at the battalion level, they were very nervous. The big man knew in his heart that as long as he was arrested, he would definitely be labeled as a war criminal and hanged on the punishment stage. Gu Tai'an needed them to give an explanation, the people needed them to give an explanation, and the political forces of all parties would also need an explanation. Even those accomplices who were trembling below needed them to die and take care of the trouble for everyone.
As for the military chiefs who commanded battalion-level troops, they also knew in their hearts that they would not get a good result after the war in the eighth area was over. The only possibility was to stay in the prison camp for a few years and then go to a long military prison to serve their sentences. Most of their life would have to deal with the iron walls of the prison.
These people are the core of the rebellion. After Gu Tai'an took the Eighth District, he might not hold up his butcher's knife at the beginning, but once the internal government orders are stable, they will definitely be the lambs to be slaughtered. Now they are standing in the Ninth District, and they have troops in their hands, and some have some value for use, and there may be a glimmer of hope.
After the breakout battle started, the Mixed Brigade and Lincheng troops immediately entered the blocking battle. However, it may not be easy for the enemy to hold on, but tens of thousands of people were just trying to run away, so it would be difficult to block.
After the New First Army was about to leave, the division directly under the General Political Department outside Yanbei and several regiments directly under the General Political Department also withdrew from the defense zone and handed over Yanbei. Without even a single shot, he fled in the direction of Tonghe.
They can't do it if they don't run away. These troops are directly under the General Political Department, have no blood relationship with the First and Second World War Zones, and have a lot of friction during peacetime. The military supervisors also wore pairs of pants with Secretary-General Zhang. So if they were caught, the consequences would probably be worse than Xu Shaohong.
In the camp of the Self-Defense Army, the commander stood next to the sand table covered in dust, folded his infrared pen with a crunch, and cursed with gritted teeth: "The New First Army, the General Political Department's direct troops, more than 40,000 people, have scared away a group of reserve soldiers in Huchane. Damn, waste, food bucket!"
"The commander, Gu Taixian's army in Hucha direction, has been pressed forward on the entire line." The staff officer said in a trembling voice: "Tan Zhongshu's 27th Division also experienced a large number of defeats, and it was penetrated in just one encounter. Our frontier troops could not withstand..."
The commander closed his eyes and was silent for a while and said, "I am powerless to turn things around. Don't sacrifice fearlessly. Order each division and regiment to give up defense... If you have a way, find your way out."
After saying that, the commander sat on the chair with a bang, and picked up the cigarette box with his arms trembling.
"Chief, the people from the EU area will pick us up. Han Sanqian has contacted us. Now we..." The Chief of Staff said half a sentence.
The commander lit a cigarette, lowered his head, and waved his hand: "I can't leave, nor can he. But you all have families and careers, so you can leave."
"Captain!"
"I am a lieutenant general in the eighth district. What are you doing in the EU?!" the commander turned around and asked.
...
In the government building.
The secretary walked in again and spoke very quickly and said to Tang Qingyuan: "The people in our government affairs department are already waiting. Chief... Let's go quickly. Gu Tai'an's troops have come here. If you delay any longer, you can't get out of the north gate."
"You go," Tang Qingyuan came to his senses and replied faintly: "I won't leave."
"General, this is not the time to be serious!" the secretary persuaded excitedly: "Stay the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood."
"My green mountains are the eighth district, Yanbei, this is my home." Tang Qingyuan replied with a chuckle: "What can I do when I go to the EU district? I am a political clown for them and let them use me to fan the flames in front of the media, or should I shout and retort Gu Tai'an again?"
The secretary was speechless when he heard the sound.
"Whether Gu Tai'an is willing to admit it or not, I am the highest official of the government affairs of the eighth district. I represent the Chinese... I can die, but I cannot be without dignity." Tang Qingyuan turned his head and looked out the window: "My descendants still have to be the surname Tang, right?"
The secretary looked at him and knew that he had decided.
"You go, I'll stay for a while." Tang Qingyuan waved his hand.
The secretary turned his back to him, paused for a few seconds, and then bowed and left.
In the empty government building, everyone who should run away and everyone who should be ready to surrender was ready to surrender. Tang Qingyuan was the only one left on the top floor.
He served as the Supreme Chief of Government for six years and served for a term and a half. Objectively speaking, the overall economic and livelihood foundation of District 8 has been improved to a certain extent. On this point, Qin Yu felt the deepest. He still remembered what he said in the car when he came to Yanbei after getting married: "Yanbei has changed a lot."
This sentence fully demonstrates that Tang Qingyuan did things and achieved achievements during his tenure. But it was during his tenure that the civil war broke out in the eighth district. Perhaps many years later, some of his merits and deeds would not be recorded in political textbooks, and he could only be evaluated by the words "war criminals".
Tang Qingyuan slowly opened the window and climbed onto the windowsill with a slightly clumsy movement. The cold wind outside blew on his face, like a knife.
He looked at the most prosperous streets in Yanbei, the buildings rising from the ground, the construction sites still under construction, and the eye-catching banners left by the construction festival a few days ago, he felt guilt and relief in his eyes.
The war was raging across the eight districts, perhaps it was not what he wanted... His political view has always been that power cannot be too concentrated, so the military and political parties must be separated.
The cold wind blew, and Tang Qingyuan decisively stepped out his right leg, stepped on the air, and fell from the high building.
"Gudong!"
A few seconds later, a muffled sound appeared on the ground, Tang Qingyuan twisted his body, closed his eyes, and fell to his death.
Five minutes later.
The commander of the Self-Defense Army committed suicide by swallowing a gun and entering the command room of the military headquarters.
The city is broken and dying!
If the world is so great, how can a lieutenant general live in a foreign country and slaughtered?
...
Gu is within the headquarters of the Corps.
The chief of staff said to Gu Tai'an: "Most of the defeated troops are fleeing towards Tonghe, where Sha family troops are stationed."
"Fuck it, I didn't expect them to be so fragile. When the battle situation turned around, I didn't even dare to let out a gun and ran away." Gu Tai'an frowned and said, "...The Shen Group Corps in the Ninth District wants to find a bargain."
"There are too many defeated soldiers breaking through, and there are only Mixed Brigade and Lincheng troops on the north battlefield. They can't stop so many people." The Chief of Staff reminded.
Gu Tai'an pondered for a while, suddenly turned his head and said, "Notify Qin Yu immediately and let him come here later."
"Yes!" the Chief of Staff nodded.
Chapter completed!
