In this battle, the biggest loss was Chen Changjie's troops.

The brigade commander under him died, and several main regiment commanders also died, a perfect anti-encirclement campaign, but it was delayed because of those bastard officers who were bent on preserving their strength.

"Damn, it's really a wretched battle, a confused battle, sacrificing so many of Lao Tzu's subordinates in vain!" Chen Changjie felt sorry for the sacrificed subordinates, and then said helplessly: "Li Hong, this celebration wine Lao Tzu will not be invited, I am not in the mood to invite, and you are not in the mood to drink it." ”

"Sir Chen, forget the wine, Ge Laozi, a good hand of cards is played poorly, but it's a pity for the soldiers who died in this battle......"

Li Hong sat down calmly, smoking a cigarette with regret, and seemed to be thinking about something in his head.

The anti-encirclement campaign was ostensibly victorious, inflicting heavy losses on the two wings of the devils, but the casualty and battle loss ratio of the two sides was about the same.

Being able to fight a tie with the little devil is a victory in the eyes of others, but in Li Hong's view, it is a defeat if the little devil is not wiped out.

The core of a unit is those military command backbones, as long as these people are still alive, it won't be long before the little devils will train a group of excellent soldiers, and their combat effectiveness will return to what it used to be.

In the past, Li Hong believed that the repeated defeats of the national army were due to the lagging behind the little devils in weaponry and logistics, but now he found that he was wrong, and in the final analysis, it was the internal problems of some officers......

After a while, the adjutant handed a telegram to Chen Changjie.

"Division, Wei Qian refers to the message."

After reading the content of the telegram, Chen Changjie stood up and said to Li Hong: "Li Hong, let's go, come with me to the headquarters of Wei Qianzhi." ”

Li Hong waved his hand, and said angrily: "Chief Chen, I think it's okay, it's not suitable for me to be a small security head on that occasion, I want to be calm and calm now." ”

"You think it's Lao Tzu who asked you to be angry, but it was Chief Wei who named you and asked you to go, take a look for yourself." Chen Changjie handed the telegram to Li Hong.

"Okay."

The two got up and left the security regiment and went to Wei Boru's headquarters in the same car.

Wei Boru's headquarters was set up on a high ground five kilometers south of Xinkou Village, and the vicinity of the high ground was heavily guarded, and all barracks and offices were camouflaged to protect against air raids.

This is the front-line commander-in-chief center, and all the operational orders of the Xinkou war are transmitted to the front-line troops from here.

An hour and a half later, Li Hong and Chen Changjie arrived at the Xinkou Front General Headquarters.

Dozens of high-ranking military officers are here today for the meeting.

On either side of the long conference table sat at least the military commanders of the division and brigade level, and it was not a rare thing for senior generals at the army and division levels to be here at all.

In this kind of high-level military meeting, an officer of Li Hong's level is not qualified to sit at the conference table, and he can only sit in the auditorium next to the conference table.

He was not the only one sitting in the auditorium, but there were also many major generals and officers with generals and stars.

The meeting had not yet begun, and many of the officers knew each other, greeted each other politely, or talked about things in whispers.

Li Hong sat and waited for more than ten minutes, only to see that Wei Boru and Chen Tingxiao stepped into the headquarters in a bold way, surrounded by several officers.

Subsequently, more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Judge Advocate General's Office with weapons in their arms walked in.

"Mr. Wei pointed out!"

All the officers in the conference room stood up solemnly and looked at Wei Boru in the main seat.

Wei Boru's face was majestic, and his eyes quickly glanced at the officers in the conference room.

"Sit down, everybody."

After the officers sat down, Wei Boru noticed Li Hong sitting next to him, and then he whispered a few words to the lieutenant colonel adjutant next to him.

Soon, the adjutant walked straight to Li Hong's side.

"Head Li, Mr. Wei instructed you to take a seat at the conference table."

After listening to the words of the adjutant in front of him, Li Hong asked in surprise, "Chief Wei asked me to sit down with these chiefs?" ”

"Please, Captain Li."

The adjutant made a gesture of invitation to Li Hong, and then he asked the two guards to add a seat at the conference table.

When he sat down on the side of the conference table, the heads of the officers in the command turned like steering wheels, and they all looked sideways at the young Li Hong.

In front of everyone's eyes, these officers looked at each other strangely, questioning, disdainful, surprised, and appreciative.

Many of the officers present couldn't understand that there were still many senior officers sitting next to them, how could He De, a small colonel-level regiment commander, be able to sit at the conference table and enjoy special treatment?

"What the hell is this kid coming from?"

"It's really a strange thing, Lao Tzu can only sit on the side as a brigade commander, how can he, an officer of a miscellaneous unit, make the commander of the guard look at him differently?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy for the person who can invite the chief of the guard to the conference table......

Among the so many officers present, they were all high-ranking military commanders in the war zone, and few people knew Li Hong at all, and they had a lot of discussions in private, what is the background of this person?

Facing everyone's scrutiny and questioning eyes, Li Hong sat precariously without the slightest stage fright.

After Wei Boru sat down, the conference room became silent, and the officers remained serious one by one.

"In the South Huaihua position on the front line, our army and the army have been facing each other for more than half a month, and although our army won a small victory last night to recover part of the main position, it also paid a huge price!"

When Wei Boru talked about last night's battle, his serious face became a little more gloomy, and he suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "Due to the dereliction of duty and slackness of our generals and the deliberate delay of the fighters, which eventually led to the two wings of the Yue Army breaking through the encirclement of our army and fleeing, some of the generals are to blame for the defeat of this anti-encirclement campaign......

Wei Boru's words of accountability undoubtedly dropped a bombshell, which deeply shocked those officers who delayed the fighters and had a weak heart.

The adjutant standing next to him opened the file and read out a list in public.

One by one, the officers whose names were called stood up, their expressions full of fear.

At this time, Chen Tingxiao, who was sitting in the row of the conference table, stood up.

His fierce eyes swept over the officers who stood up, and coldly questioned a major general officer: "Deputy Division Commander Tang, last night General Wei instructed your troops to rush to the area around the North Huaihua position before midnight, but why were you and your troops two hours late?" ”

"Sir Chen, I ...... last night"

The major generals and officers were hesitant for a long time, but they could not make up a reasonable excuse.

"Deputy Master Tang, since you can't say it, then I'll talk about it for you." Chen Tingxiao walked over, glanced at the other party angrily, and said: "Deputy Division Commander Tang, the national crisis is at hand, the military situation is urgent, you actually ignored the order and followed your subordinates to play mahjong, you are really Yaxing!" ”

In the face of Chen Tingxiao's questioning, the other party was suddenly speechless, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
