The 17th Army was one of the few outstanding troops in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. Although they were finally defeated and retreated, the retreat was due to the defeat of the friendly troops on the left and right flanks by the Japanese, and the 17th Army became a lone army.

Gao Guizi was ordered to retreat, and the main force of the 17th Army suffered little losses, and he made great achievements in the battle to defend Hengling Pass before retreating, and belonged to the general who was still glorious despite defeat. Therefore, what he said at this meeting carries more weight than others.

As soon as Gao Guizi spoke, the generals who attended the meeting expressed their opinions as if they had found an outlet, and they were all talking about how powerful the Japanese army's firepower was, and how our soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the powerful firepower of the Japanese army.

Although what the generals said was true, it was inevitable that everyone would be suspected of complaining when they said such things at today's meeting. As soon as Chief Wei said that he wanted to take revenge, you big guys nagged that the devil's anger was too fierce, and his own casualties were too big, what does this mean? Isn't this an uproar for the chief of the guard? Seeing that Wei Lihuang on the main throne was excited just now, his expression turned depressed again.

"Chief Wei," Zeng Wanzhong, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army, said, and his group army suffered the heaviest casualties in this battle, "before the battle to recover Zhongtiao Mountain begins, we must come up with a countermeasure to the problem of the Japanese army's strong ground and air firepower. Otherwise, we will probably still have a lot of casualties. ”

The gloom on Wei Lihuang's face flashed, and then he shifted his gaze to scan the audience, "You are all front-line commanders, and anyone who has any good ideas can be proposed." As long as it can reduce the casualties of officers and soldiers on the front line, we can consider it. If it can be effective in actual combat, the theater commander's department will give a heavy reward! The guerrilla commanders in the back row and the commanders of the Decisive Army can also speak, and everyone can come up with any good ways to talk about it! ”

Chief Wei wants to solicit the opinions of the masses, which is easy to do. The generals attending the meeting are really capable people, among which Pei Changhui, the commander of the Ninth Army, said that during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the 29th Army could use a big blade and a night attack to fight devils, why can't we compare gourds?

As soon as Commander Pei's words fell, some people stood up to oppose it, and the reason was very simple, the officers and soldiers of the 27th Army could play with big swords, and the proportion of officers and soldiers who knew martial arts was quite high. What about us? How many people in a regiment can do martial arts? The one who will play the big blade of the 29th Army? There was an immediate uproar in the venue.

At first, Hu Fei was watching coldly with the mentality of a bystander, watching and watching his heart suddenly move, something seemed to appear in his mind but had not yet taken shape, and his two eyes stared directly at one place and fell into contemplation.

Wei Lihuang sat on the rostrum and saw the room full of generals clearly, he could guess what everyone's expression, what they said, and even what they thought in their hearts. Looking at it, Chief Wei suddenly spotted Hu Fei behind the crowd, huh? Hu Fei: What's wrong? Did he think of a good idea?

"Commander Hu." As soon as Wei Lihuang opened his mouth, the generals attending the meeting immediately stopped arguing and closed their mouths, "Hu Fei! Commander Hu Feihu of the 88th Column of the Decisive Army! ”

Hu Fei was still in a daze, and the officer next to him suddenly smashed him with his elbow. Hu Fei turned his head with a spirit, and after just one glance at the person who was messing with him, he understood what was wrong. The scene was too quiet, and the conference room that was like a vegetable market just now is now a pin drop! Hu Fei slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the main seat, and sure enough, Wei Lihuang was staring at him with tiger eyes.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. What did Chief Wei just ask? Instead of hiding it, it is better to be frank, Hu Fei's eyes are very frank at this time.

"You, you, you can get distracted at such an important military meeting?" Commander Wei pointed at Hu Fei and shook his head again and again, although the words he said were blaming him, but the meaning of maintenance in his words was even more obvious, "I just asked everyone to express their opinions, and everyone talked about how to deal with the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, and how to reduce unnecessary casualties for the troops. Tell me, what did you do before? ”

"Eighty-eight vertical? Oh, the 88th Column rarely fights tough battles, and if you can beat it, you will fight, and if you can't beat it, we will run. If you can't run, you'll have to start all over again. Hu Fei was telling the truth, but many of the generals present were indeed frowning at Zhuo's deep meaning.

"Of course, the 88th Column, as a guerrilla force, can run away as soon as it happens, but the commanders and commanders present here can't do this." Wei Lihuang shook his head regretfully.

"Yes, yes." The generals shook their heads one after another, and even looked at Hu Fei with a reproachful eye, which seemed to mean: If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, look, make a fool of yourself, right?

Hu Fei flickered in his heart, and a stream of blood rushed to his head at that time, "Chief Wei, generals, I have thought of a solution but it is not mature, how about I sue you when I go back and figure it out?" ”

"Well, as I just said, you can come up with any ideas you have and discuss them. If Commander Hu has any good ideas, just say it outside, and he is not afraid of making mistakes. Your theory is immature, there are so many people here, everyone can help you come up with an idea, and the immature method will be mature. Let's talk about it. ”

"Yes, let's talk about it, Commander Hu will talk about it." As soon as Wei Lihuang's voice fell, someone immediately followed suit, and one after another wanted to squeeze Hu Fei into the corner.

"Ahem, since Chief Wei and all the brothers want to know, then I'll try to talk about it, and please don't laugh at what is wrong." Since you're so curious, what's the point of me? Hu Fei stood up.

"Soldiers wear steel helmets on the battlefield for safety and protection against stray bullets. I don't need to talk about the benefits of wearing a steel helmet, as long as the officers and soldiers who have worn a steel helmet know it, it is estimated that all the brothers here should also know it. I thought, wearing a steel helmet can protect the head, if we make the steel helmet bigger, will it be able to protect the whole body? ”

"Is Commander Hu talking about armor? Are you going to equip each of your soldiers with a set of armor for ancient warfare? ”

As soon as Hu Fei's words fell, cold words came. Fortunately, at this time, there were always those who stood up and spoke for Hu Fei, "How do you know that what Commander Hu is talking about is armor?" Besides, Chief Wei has already said it just now, and everyone has expressed their opinions. Everyone can say what they have for everyone to discuss, even if Commander Hu is talking about armor, it is also an idea, it is better than sitting and thinking about how to deduct military salaries, right? ”

It was Li Shilong, deputy commander of the Third Army, who spoke up.
