Chapter 1185: Prepare with both hands

Qi Zhenhai furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice: "Jardine's Mountain is surrounded, what is going on?" ”

The guard shook his head, also confused.

This happened so suddenly that it hasn't been figured out yet.

Qi Zhenhai waved his hand and motioned for the guards to leave.

After the guards left, Liu Jintang said with high morale: "Senior Commander Qi, this matter is very simple, it is definitely a trap set by foreigners, intending to encircle and annihilate us at Jardine's Mountain. It's a pity that we are not trapped beasts, and we have not run out of ammunition and food. On the contrary, we were strong and morale, and with the fact that the first brigade commander took Minle Town, the morale of the army was unprecedentedly high. ”

After a pause, Liu Jintang said loudly: "I think that with Minle Town as a breakthrough, go south and go straight to the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, as long as you tear the opening, all problems will be solved, and the so-called encirclement will be self-defeating." ”

Qi Zhenhai thought for a while and replied, "Brigade Commander Liu's suggestion is very good, I agree with it." ”

Chen Yucheng said: "I also agree with Brigade Commander Liu's suggestion, but I think there should be two preparations. ”

Qi Zhenhai asked, "What does Brigade Commander Chen think should be prepared?" ”

Chen Yucheng's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "This time I am fighting with foreigners, and the point of confrontation is in Minle Town. However, the foreigners quietly sent troops to surround Jardine's Mountain, and big men such as tanks also appeared quietly. Extrapolating from this, I think it was premeditated, Minle Town is just a cover, and the siege is the real plan. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yucheng's expression became more and more solemn, "Breaking through Minle Town may not be effective, as the saying goes, if you don't win, you will lose first, and you must fully consider any factor that may have a huge impact on the battlefield." Once we fail, we can't afford the consequences. First, according to Brigade Commander Liu, take Minle Town as a breakthrough point and quickly attack the Governor's Mansion in the south; Second, the news of the siege of Jardine's Hill should also be reported to the President, and the President should be asked to mobilize troops for support. ”

Qi Zhenhai raised his head and glanced at Chen Yucheng, then lowered his head and pondered. Chen Yucheng's suggestion was in some ways not good for Qi Zhenhai, the commander of the army, because reporting to Li Zhen meant asking for help, which meant that he was the general of the defeated army.

Qi Zhenhai is naturally very resistant to this kind of suggestion.

Liu Jintang is a straight man, and he has confidence in the strength of the army, and said firmly: "Brigade Commander Chen, you are unfounded. Since the beginning of the war, we have fought with the foreigners a few times, and we have won a few times, and we have not lost a single battle. Even if the foreigners surround Jardine's Mountain, in my opinion, it is a scattered force, and it is even more vulnerable. In this battle, there is no need to ask the president for help, and you can't ask the president for help. It would be a shame if a division of troops invaded Hong Kong, and if it could not even take Hong Kong. ”

These words happened to hit Qi Zhenhai's thoughts.

If he can't take Hong Kong, he has no face.

Qi Zhenhai instantly had an idea, his expression was firm, and he ordered: "Brigade Commander Chen, I agree with Brigade Commander Liu's statement. In this battle, I believe that our troops can tear their mouths and capture the Governor's Palace, and there is no need to ask the President for help. ”

Chen Yucheng hesitated in his heart, it was difficult for him to deal with Qi Zhenhai's face.

However, this is a life-and-death battle for the Chinese army.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yucheng had an idea. His expression was also firm and serious, and he said: "Senior Commander Qi, Brigade Commander Liu, I maintain my opinion, and I should report it to the president." This is a battlefield, and you can't take it personally. ”

Qi Zhenhai's face fell, and his face was gloomy.

Everyone has worked together for such a long time, and this little bit of face is not given?

Qi Zhenhai's heart was very unhappy.

Liu Jintang was furious, and retorted-for-tat: "Brigade Commander Chen, I want to correct what you said, I am not acting rashly, I am deliberate. It's normal to count defeat on the battlefield without winning, and I understand it. But in the battlefield battles, I also pay attention to knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, and I know the situation of the foreign army, and I also know my own army. My decision was based on the judgment of the situation of both sides, and I decided to break through Minle Town. ”

Chen Yucheng retorted: "Who would have expected the changes on the battlefield? ”

"I can!"

Liu Jintang held his head high, showing his arrogance.

Chen Yucheng snorted and said coldly: "This is the life of nearly 10,000 brothers, and the power of a division is in our hands, not for us to be rash, it must be carefully considered." ”

Liu Jintang continued to retort: "How do you judge that I am willful? In my opinion, it's you who stick to the rules. According to what you said, in history, Han Xin led his soldiers to fight with his back, and fought according to Han Xin's strength at that time, he was what you said and did not consider the lives of soldiers. This is a war in your hands, and it is ridiculous for you to say that you want to act rashly. ”

Qi Zhenhai sat aside, feeling quite uncomfortable. Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng were red-faced, he knew that neither of them had selfish intentions, and they were both thinking about the army.

The two argued, and he, the coach, felt uncomfortable.

Chen Yucheng was silent for a moment, then with high morale, and continued: "I still don't agree with your point of view. Han Xin fought against the water, was forced by the situation, did he have another choice? The disparity in strength made Han Xin have to choose the appropriate tactics. For us, we have enough troops, we have enough strength, so why take the risk? The president sent a force to take Hong Kong without much effort, but your approach was risky, and the foreigners were still fully prepared. ”

Liu Jintang snorted and said impatiently: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!" He had his own insistence, and knew that he couldn't convince Chen Yucheng, so he simply stopped arguing.

Chen Yucheng had a bitter face, and he was very worried.

At this moment, there was a sudden silence in the command post.

At this time, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

Whether it was Qi Zhenhai, Liu Jintang, or Chen Yucheng, none of them spoke, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Chen Yucheng raised his head, and his gaze happened to collide with Liu Jintang. Liu Jintang snorted and immediately put his head away, while Chen Yucheng smiled helplessly, he knew that he was offending people by doing this, but Chen Yucheng had his own insistence.

For three minutes, none of the three spoke.

Qi Zhenhai coughed lightly twice and said, "I am the commander of the army, and I make decisions." ”

Liu Jintang said: "Master Qi, give the order, go straight to Lemin Town." ”

Chen Yucheng shook his head and had to sigh lightly.

He already thought in his heart that Qi Zhenhai would send troops directly and would not report the news to Li Zhen.

Qi Zhenhai said very calmly: "From my personal point of view, I really don't want to report the news, and I want to attack Minle Town directly. I have listened to the debate between the two of you, and I know that both of you are thinking about the country, you are dedicated to the public, and you have no selfish intentions. ”

After a pause, Qi Zhenhai said again: "I plan to compromise and send troops to break through from Minle Town first." If you directly tear the mouth and get rid of the foreigners, then go south and go straight to the Hong Kong Governor's Palace without reporting the news. If you are blocked in Minle Town and it is difficult to break through, immediately report the news to the president and ask for the president's support, what do you think? ”

Chen Yucheng said without hesitation: "I agree!" ”

Qi Zhenhai took a step back, he couldn't know what was going on, otherwise the relationship would really be stiff.

Liu Jintang nodded and said, "Senior Qi's suggestion is feasible. Immediately, Liu Jintang's eyes fell on Chen Yucheng, and he smiled and said humorously: "Lao Chen, it was involved in military operations just now, I have my insistence, not against you." Let's have personal friends, get down to business, and don't take what happened to me to heart. ”

Chen Yucheng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "When we were in Sichuan, we started to deal with each other, and then Vietnam, the United States, Hawaii, etc., along the way, I still don't know you?" When it comes to business, they all have their own insistences. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a smile on their faces that they hadn't seen in a long time.
