Baoshan, Yunnan.

The review meeting on the operation into Burma was being held at the temporary headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Baoshan, and the meeting was presided over by Song Xilian, commander-in-chief of the 11th Group Army and commander of the Kunming garrison.

Except for Dai Anlan, who was martyred, all the generals above the division commander level of the rest of the expeditionary force attended the meeting as observers.

However, in the middle of a large group of generals, there was a colonel officer with a straight body who was particularly eye-catching.

This colonel is none other than Yu Xiaoqing, the commander of the Sichuan Army Corps to which the 29th Division belongs.

Although there was a school officer mixed in among the generals, the senior generals attending the meeting had no time to take care of it, because they obviously felt that Song Xilian came with Shang Fang's sword this time, and he really wanted to kill.

"It's always here!" A long howl from a guard sounded outside the door.

The senior generals attending the meeting and Yu Xiaoqing, who was at the end of the seat, stood up together.

Yu Xiaoqing straightened his body even more straight, like a javelin stuck in the ground.

In the footsteps of "dong dong dong", Song Xilian, who had a straight face, strode into the conference room.

Seeing Song Xilian's expression, the senior generals attending the meeting immediately felt nervous, and sure enough, they ......

Song Xilian walked to the rostrum, his cold gaze swept over the faces of the senior generals attending the meeting one by one, and finally stopped on Yu Xiaoqing's face, and his face finally softened slightly.

But from beginning to end, Song Xilian did not let everyone sit down.

Song Xilian didn't sit down himself, but also stood up with a javelin.

"I'm honestly disappointed." Song Xilian's opening remarks made people's hearts tighten, "The Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Burma to fight, and it was pinned on by the principal and the national government, and the party-state not only mobilized the most elite troops, but also provided the best weapons and equipment, but in the end, the battle was fought like this." ”

"Don't look for objective reasons."

"Defeat is defeat, as a soldier, don't you even have the courage to admit defeat?"

"The battle is like this, from the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, there is not a single innocent person, all of whom should be killed!"

The faces of the senior generals attending the meeting suddenly fell.

It seems that if you don't lose a few heads today, you can't explain it.

Song Xilian said again: "If it weren't for the repeated instructions of the principal before leaving, I really wanted to kill a few human head sacrifice flags." ”

Hearing this, the senior generals attending the meeting immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, as long as they don't kill their heads, it's okay to say.

Song Xilian also said: "The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, the Chinese expeditionary force entered Burma and ended in a fiasco, and someone must bear the due responsibility for this." ”

"After repeated investigations over the past few days,"

"It is basically certain that the main responsibility for the fiasco of the invasion of Burma was the collapse of the 66th Army without a fight, and the Japanese army easily occupied Lashio, which cut off the retreat of the expeditionary force!"

Zhang Zhen, the commander of the 66th Army, the commander of the "General ......", turned pale, and instinctively wanted to excuse himself.

"Shut up, did I let you speak?" Song Xilian glared at him coldly, and Zhang Zhen was silent.

Song Xilian continued: "After reporting to the Ministry of Military Affairs and the chamber of attendants for approval, it is hereby decided to revoke the numbers of the 66th Army and the 29th Division, and the commander of the 66th Army, Zhang Zhen, and the commander of the 29th Division, Ma Weiji, will be removed from their posts and investigated!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen and Ma Weiji's bodies fell like deflated balls.

It's all over, the general seat really doesn't talk about it at all, and we have followed him for many years before and after the saddle.

Song Xilian's gaze finally fell on Yu Xiaoqing's face, and he said: "It is said that I came to Baoshan this time to do people, and other things are not in the plan, but ......"

After a pause, he added, "I still want to make an exception and propose a special commendation to a person." ”

"Yu Xiaoqing, the commander of the Sichuan Army of the 29th Division, when the main force of the 29th Division fled, and when the main force of the 66th Army fled, only he resisted with a miscellaneous regiment and cannon fodder regiment!"

"Although I still didn't hold Lashio in the end,"

"But it's not his fault, because his Sichuan Legion is not well staffed and has not received sufficient weapons and equipment."

"But even so, the Sichuan Army still waged a desperate battle with the Japanese army in Lashio, gaining time for the main force of the 29th Division and the main force of the 66th Army to get rid of the Japanese army."

Speaking of this, Song Xilian said again: "So I decided to exercise the privilege of making decisions on the spot given by the principal, promote Yu Xiaoqing to the rank of major general, and be responsible for the reorganization of the 29th Division. ”

"No, there is no 29th Division now."

"Let's name this division after Master Yu for the time being."

The high-ranking generals attending the meeting looked sideways one after another.

Master Yu? There has never been such a precedent for a party-state!

However, who let the family have a good uncle who is the minister of military affairs?

At this moment, Yu Xiaoqing suddenly said: "Boss, I have something to say." ”

Song Xilian nodded happily and said, "Speak." ”

Yu Xiaoqing said: "Returning to the general seat, being promoted by defeat, although Xiaoqing is stupid, he still has a sense of shame, so he still hopes that the general seat will take back his sincere life." ”

"This ......" Song Xilian was speechless for a moment.

Because what Yu Xiaoqing said was completely fine.

Being promoted because of defeat is really unprecedented.

However, in his heart, Song Xilian admired Yu Xiaoqing even more.

At a young age, you can know how to advance and retreat, and the future will definitely be promising.

At that moment, Song Xilian said: "Okay, then I will temporarily withdraw the rank of general, and you will temporarily serve as the commander of the division of Yu with the rank of colonel, you will not refuse to accept this, right?" ”

Yu Xiaoqing said solemnly: "As long as the party and the state need it, even if it is needed, even if it is not hesitant to go to the soup and the fire, Xiaoqing will not hesitate." ”

"Okay, that's a good point, at this time, pushing you to the position of division commander of Master Yu, even if it's not going to the soup, it's not much worse." Song Xilian nodded, and said, "Because after you Master Yu completes the reorganization, you will guard Chanda and serve as the first barrier for the defense of the Nujiang River." ”

Yu Xiaoqing snapped his feet and stood upright, and said proudly: "Please rest assured, as long as Master Yu is still there, as long as Xiaoqing still has a breath, he will not lose Zenda, and the Nujiang River will not be lost!" ”

"Good!" Song Xilian said happily, "Then I'll have to wait and see." ”

At this moment, a communications staff officer walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Song Xilian's ear.

After listening to this, Song Xilian's face immediately showed a look of astonishment, and then, together with the communication staff, the eyes of the two looked at Yu Xiaoqing together.

Other high-ranking generals followed suit.

Many generals also showed a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Yu Xiaoqing felt a little inexplicable, did something happen?

Song Xilian frowned slightly and asked, "Division Commander Yu, do you still have troops in Burma for the Sichuan Army?" ”

"Nope." Yu Xiaoqing said without thinking, "The remnants of the Sichuan Army have all withdrawn to China with me. ”

Song Xilian said again: "Then do you have a regimental deputy named Long Wenwen in your Sichuan Army?" ”

"Nope." Yu Xiaoqing shook his head, "My regimental deputy is surnamed Qi, and he has died in battle." ”
