"Commander Li, don't be modest, the exploits of your security regiment are something that your colleagues in the Second War Zone can see."

Chen Changjie patted Li Hong on the shoulder and said solemnly: "You can get this honor, this is everyone's affirmation of you and the security team!" ”

"Yes, Sir Chen, I understand. I, Li Hong, will definitely live up to expectations, sweep away the Japanese invaders, and raise the prestige of our country! Li Hong said in a firm tone, and then sat down.

This Yunlu first-class medal seems to be light and fluttering, but it is an invisible burden on his body, Li Hong has a long way to go in the future, and he needs to forge ahead!

After the commendation of the officers was over, the military meeting began, and the atmosphere became a little tense, and this meeting was related to the battle situation in Nanhuaihua.

The South Huaihua position, the enemy and us have launched many tug-of-wars, the position has been lost and lost, lost and regained, it is no exaggeration to say that a small South Huaihua battlefield has simply become a meat grinder.

Although Li Hong and his three regiments had just won a victory in the counteroffensive and occupied part of the main positions in the area of Xikou Village and Nanhuaihua, the little devils would not give up their positions and the enemy would definitely make a comeback in the deployment of a counteroffensive.

"Wang Zhao, you are the chief of staff, let's talk about it first." Chen Changjie said to Chief of Staff Wang Zhao.

Chief of Staff Wang Zhao left his seat and quickly walked under the map, he picked up his baton and pointed to several military garrisons on the map.

"According to reliable information, in order to regain the lost position, the old devil Itagaki is sending troops everywhere, and he has transferred his 3rd Brigade, as well as Kameda Wing and Panasonic Wing, a total of more than 20,000 people, and is rushing to the aid of Nanhuaihua in an attempt to counterattack."

Wang Zhao put down his baton and continued with a stern expression: "Judging from the current situation of the enemy and us, if the security regiment, the 386th regiment and the 321st regiment continue to hold the position in Nanhuaihua, they will face the enemy's encirclement from many sides. ”

Then the problem is, if Li Hong and his three regiments do not withdraw, they will be dumplings by the devils, then withdrawing their regiments and seizing the position is equivalent to giving up the battlefield, and at the same time, it is also equivalent to giving up the initiative on the battlefield.

At present, Chen Changjie's various units of the Left Wing Army are facing a dilemma, and how to break the deadlock is the core content of this meeting.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Liao Shijie, the deputy division commander, also spoke.

"Last night, Chief Wei personally telegraphed to the principal, requesting additional reinforcements, the 22nd Army of the 41st Group Army rushed to the aid from the Tongguan area, and Chief Yan also urgently transferred the 94th Division, and the 529th Brigade of the 177th Division rushed to Lantai Town and Twenty Miles to assemble and stand by in the starry night."

"The above troops are all the reinforcements we can mobilize, and the determination of the commander of the guard is that our 22nd Division will hold the main position from Xikou Village to Nanhuaihua, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive in ......."

After Liao Shijie, the deputy division commander, finished announcing the order of the theater, Chen Changjie stood up and said to the officers: "The current battlefield situation is like this, the Nanhuaihua position is in a dead circle of repeated contention. ”

Soon, the officers on both sides of the conference table whispered and discussed.

Commander Wei's order is to fight a decisive battle with the little devils, and the number of people on both sides is about the same, even if the 22nd Division of the Central Army is elite, if it really wants to start a decisive battle, the 22nd Division will also have great casualties.

At this time, an officer with the rank of major general stood up.

"Division, if more than 20,000 people from all parts of the Left Wing Army are reinforced on all fronts and fight a decisive battle with the Yue Army, I think the result of the battle will undoubtedly be to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 self-inflicted losses, if the reinforcements encounter resistance and fail to reinforce our 22nd Division in time, I think the consequences should be clear to all of you."

Soon, another major general stood up and retorted: "Division, I don't agree with Brigade Commander Zhang's words, the Nanhuaihua position is the lifeblood of the overall situation of the Xinkou Campaign, and we must not withdraw our troops, we should follow the orders of Commander Wei and hold on to help." ”

As to whether the Nanhuaihua position should be retreated or defended, the officers in the command headquarters had different opinions, and the controversy became more and more intense, and some people even began to explode foul language.

Li Hong sat quietly and never said a word.

It's not that he doesn't have an opinion on the battle situation in Nanhuaihua, the key is that he is just a small head of the security regiment, and even if he has any battle plan, I'm afraid the officers may not adopt it.

In that case, why should he say more?

"Division, stick to the reinforcements, our 22nd Division will suffer heavy casualties......"

"The division seat cannot be removed ......"

"Smack-"

Chen Changjie slapped his palms heavily on the conference table, and reprimanded the officers with a dark face: "Damn, look at you, what kind of system is it to make a lot of noise, and treat Lao Tzu's headquarters as a theater?!" ”

Suddenly, the officers stopped arguing fiercely and all sat back in their seats quietly.

Chen Changjie glanced at the officers, and then his eyes fell on Li Hong, who was speechless.

"Li Hong, why don't you speak?"

Li Hong stood up and replied humbly: "Report to Chief Chen, he is humble and stupid, and he doesn't dare to get an axe in front of all the chiefs and point out the country." ”

"!"

After Chen Changjie said a few words in annoyance, he slapped a report on the casualties of the security regiment on the conference table.

"You can see, this is the casualty report of the security regiment, the security regiment defeated the Fujiwara wing at such a small cost of casualties, I don't think anyone here has been able to do it. If even you are not qualified to talk about the war situation, then those of us who graduated from military academies will have to blush even more. ”

Chen Changjie took the security regiment out as a positive teaching material, in addition to a kind of praise for Li Hong's commanding ability, at the same time, he was also encouraging the officers present.

"Li Hong, you kid have any good fart, don't hide it, Lao Tzu likes people who are more refreshing!"

"Yes, Chief Chen, let's talk about my humble opinion of the battle situation."

Since Chen Changjie gave face in front of so many officers, how could Li Hong be a dull gourd who didn't say a word, so when it was time to pretend to be B, he had to pretend to be a bright spot.

Li Hong walked to the bottom of the map, picked up the baton and focused on the station of the security regiment, as well as the defensive positions of the 386th and 321st regiments, and then told his battle plan in detail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my plan is that the Security Regiment, the 386th Regiment, and the 321st Regiment will stick to the defense area, and these three regiments will be used as bait to contain and absorb the two elite main forces of the Kameda Wing and the Panasonic Wing, which have come up with reinforcements."

Kameda Wing and Panasonic Wing are the closest to the Nanhuaihua position, and these two elite wings will definitely be the first to reinforce and counterattack the positions of Li Hong and his three regiments.

If you only put one regiment as bait, the enemy will not be easily fooled, and it is easy to be eaten by the enemy.

Using their three regiments as a big bait can attract more enemies, and it is impossible for the two wings of the little devil to eat in one bite, which is why Li Hong must use three regiments as bait.
