Chapter Eighty-Four: Victory and Defeat Are a Common Thing
Feng Yipeng led the 735th Regiment to withdraw to the area of the City God's Temple, at this time Feng Yipeng was not clear about the specific situation of the battle at Pingshe Station, he only knew that the situation there was not optimistic.
The soldiers of the 735th Regiment did not have a sad face like Feng Yipeng, in their opinion, it was just that the simple devils ran away and did not all of them were eliminated, they would not think about what the situation was at Pingshe Station, what they were more concerned about than these strategic situations was that they had been holding back for so long and could finally fight the little devils again.
Of course, except for the Seventh Company, Shen Yunjie and the others didn't even see a shadow of a devil until the end of the battle, let alone shooting, and they were even more depressed than Feng Yipeng now.
"Hey, I can only say that our seven companies are too unlucky. It was already unlucky to draw the defensive blocking mission, and what was even more unfortunate was that the battle was over, and we didn't even see a devil in the seventh company. The others were all in pain, and we were the only ones in the seventh company. Lao Cai complained in the walking procession.
Usually Lao Cai complains that Shen Yunjie will enlighten him, but this time Shen Yunjie joined Lao Cai and complained, "Hey, who knows when you will run away next time you miss this opportunity??" ”
Lu Kuan looked at the veterans of the Seventh Company and was very puzzled now, "Yun Jie, are you really so frustrated if you don't fight the devil??" In Lu Kuan's eyes, it seems that it is just a different division of labor.
"Hey, you don't understand," Shen Yunjie replied weakly. In fact, in Shen Yunjie's opinion, the most important thing is that everyone has been holding back for so long. finally waited for an opportunity to beat the devil, but in the end, he found himself empty and happy.
The team continued to march for more than three hours and finally returned safely to the vicinity of the City God Temple.
On the other side, the news of the defeat in the battle at Pingshe Station quickly reached the ears of He Long, who was at the division headquarters, and He Long was very worried that the defeat in the first battle would affect the morale of the soldiers, so he immediately set off and rushed to the front line from the rear.
As soon as Feng Yipeng returned safely to the vicinity of the City God Temple, he was told that all the commanders of the participating troops should immediately assemble at the headquarters. After Feng Yipeng learned the news, he rushed to the City God Temple as soon as possible.
In the main hall of the City God Temple, at this moment, in addition to the daily work personnel, there are only Feng Yipeng and the other two heads in the hall. Looking at the current situation, Feng Yipeng knew that he should have come early.
There were a lot of spare chairs in the hall, but none of the three dared to sit on them, especially Feng Yipeng, who was very uneasy in his heart. Although Feng Yipeng knew in his heart that the battle at Pingshe Station should be a failure, Feng Yipeng still had the last trace of fantasy in his heart at this time, what if the friendly army withstood the pressure and captured the next station? ?
Feng Yipeng stood beside him in an unobstructed place, thinking wildly. The rest of the hall was normally busy with their own work.
The commander of the main attack regiment responsible for attacking the Heisha station walked in from the outside at this time. The head of the regiment saw that the other three were standing next to him, so he walked in and stood next to Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng's thoughts were interrupted after suddenly being surrounded by another person, and Feng Yipeng came back to his senses and looked at the other party.
After Feng Yipeng saw the other party clearly, he was very excited, and hurriedly asked, "Head Wang?" What's the situation going on your end?? Did Heishe Station successfully capture it?? ”
Head Wang lowered his head and drooped his head without speaking, Feng Yipeng looked at the other party's dejected appearance and already knew the answer. After determining the defeat, Feng Yipeng was not so worried, and at this time, Feng Yipeng was more self-blaming in his heart. If it weren't for the failure of his side to keep the devil, the battle at the Heisha Station would not have ended in failure.
There are also more and more people in the hall. Finally, He Long, the commander of the 120th Division, appeared in the hall.
Feng Yipeng was very surprised when he saw He Long, Feng Yipeng had never known that He Long had rushed to the front line from the rear.
He Long glanced left and right, "What are you all standing for??" Isn't there so many chairs? Really, there are no other outsiders here, why are you so restrained?? ”
After He Long spoke, everyone sat down one after another.
Feng Yipeng and Head Wang sat down next to each other.
All the participants have arrived.
After He Long confirmed the personnel a little, he began to go straight to the point: "This time, I have gathered everyone here to hold a post-war summary meeting. ”
As soon as He Long's words fell, Feng Yipeng stood up suddenly. Feng Yipeng stood straight: "Report to the division commander that the loss of this battle is the responsibility of our regiment, and the 735th Regiment failed to contain the devils who came to help, resulting in the failure to capture the Pingshe Station." ”
Regiment Commander Wang, who was sitting next to Feng Yipeng, also immediately stood up: "Report to the division commander, the main responsibility for the failure of this battle lies with me, because I hesitated and missed the opportunity." ”
"What? What are you two doing?? We are now holding a summary meeting, not a criticism meeting. ”
As soon as He Long's words came out, the two of them didn't dare to say anything.
The two of them sat back slowly, don't you say that Feng Yipeng and Head Wang acted quite consistently.
After the two of them sat down, He Long continued: "You don't think that I came all the way here just to reprimand you, right? ”
The crowd bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.
"Look at what you look like now?? I'm really here this time. I'm just afraid that this defeat will bring too much pressure and burden to you. Isn't it just that the first battle didn't start?? In fact, failure itself is not terrible, what is really terrible is not being able to face failure as you are now. ”
The crowd remained silent and even buried their heads lower, exaggerating enough to reach under the table.
Only Feng Yipeng stood up again and said: "Please rest assured, I will definitely summarize the reasons for this failure, recognize my own shortcomings, learn from them, and correct them." ”
Feng Yipeng's words made He Long deeply gratified, and it was the real purpose of this meeting to sum up the experience of failure, learn lessons and correct them. "So what do you think are the shortcomings of you or your regiment in the battle, and what specific areas need to be improved??" The reason why He Long asked Feng Yipeng these was just to see if Feng Yipeng really realized his shortcomings.
Feng Yipeng fell into thought, looking for deficiencies while organizing his words. He Long and the others all waited quietly for Feng Yipeng.
"I think my biggest problem this time is overconfidence and underestimating the devil"
"Good, anything else??"
"In the face of emergencies in the fighting, we failed to make effective responses in a timely manner." It seems that Feng Yipeng's misunderstanding of himself this time is quite profound.
He Long was quite satisfied with Feng Yipeng's answer, and He Long's eyes turned to Head Wang, "What about you?" After He Long asked, he motioned for Feng Yipeng to sit down.
As soon as Feng Yipeng sat down, Commander Wang next to him immediately stood up, "Report to the division commander." I wasn't decisive enough, I was always looking ahead and backwards. ”
He Long then asked them how they could improve their shortcomings.
Focusing on the topic of summing up experience, He Long and these regiment leaders had a heated discussion.
The meeting then moved on to the next stage.
"Very good, it seems that this meeting was not in vain, and everyone's understanding of their own shortcomings is in place, and the next content of the meeting will be carried out. Once we can't take the station, then we'll come twice, and if we can't do twice, we'll come back a third time. If you haven't taken it down for the third time, then it can only mean that you really can't do it, but that's the truth of the three. The division headquarters will discuss and decide to attack Pingshe Station again, and this time the main attack force is still your regiment," He Long said, and his gaze stopped at Commander Wang.
Head Wang couldn't believe that this time the main attack was still himself.
He Long saw that Head Wang was very hesitant, "What??" Don't dare to fight?? Or do you lose confidence in yourself?? ”
Commander Wang immediately explained, "No, I just didn't expect the chief to trust our regiment so much. ”
"That's good, you guys take a little rest, and attack again on time at ten o'clock in the morning of the 23rd," He Long clarified the attack time to Commander Wang. "Feng Yipeng, your group's mission this time is mainly responsible for destroying the devil railway bridge south of Pingshe Station and the surrounding devil facilities. There are no specific requirements for the timing of your regiment's operation, as long as it starts on the 23rd. "This was supposed to be the second step of the action plan, but the first step was delayed for too long due to the failure of the first step, and the second and first steps could only be carried out at the same time.
"Please rest assured that the task will be completed." Feng Yipeng's official answer is very standard.
He Long then arranged the combat missions of the other regiments at this stage.
At the end of the meeting, He Long once again reiterated: "Remember that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and you can do your best on the battlefield, and the result is just too forceful." ”
Everyone said in unison: "Don't worry, the chief, we will keep the chief's words in mind." ”
"That's the end of today's meeting, let's go back and get ready." After He Long finished speaking, everyone left the City God Temple one after another.
After the meeting ended, Feng Yipeng directly returned to the current station of the 735th Regiment.
After Feng Yipeng returned, Qin Ping and the second battalion commander immediately surrounded him.
"What did the chief say when he gathered all of you regimental leaders together this time?" Qin Ping was very curious about the content of this meeting.
The second battalion commander next to him was also very curious, the second battalion responsible for the southern blocking mission failed to prevent the devil from returning to the station, and the second battalion commander felt that he was mainly responsible.
"The main purpose of this meeting was to explain the next action tasks of each regiment," Feng Yipeng did not say a word about the defeat at Pingshe Station. He didn't want everyone to have psychological pressure and burden, especially the second battalion and the second battalion commander.
Qin Ping didn't continue to ask, and Qin Ping also knew that this kind of thing couldn't be investigated.
Only the second battalion commander seemed to be very concerned about letting go of the devil himself, "Regiment commander, didn't the chief mention the fact that I didn't succeed in stopping the devil??" ”
"It was mentioned that the chief just said that the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, as long as you do your best."
The second battalion commander seemed to be a little unconvinced: "Really?? ”
"Don't blame yourself too much, the emergency situation at that time is not something you can control, how can you still decide where other devils go if you have legs on other people's devils??"
Feng Yipeng's words had come to this point, and the second battalion commander had no choice but to say no more.
Qin Ping next to him immediately took over the conversation, "Lao Feng, what task has the chief assigned to our regiment this time??" ”
"The chief asked us to start destroying the devil railway and bridge south of Heisha Station on the 23rd."
"This is good, this will be able to fight devils again soon" Qin Ping was really happy in addition to changing the topic, and the soldiers of the 735th Regiment could fight devils right away.
