Chapter 35 Complaint to the War Zone
"I'm the brigade commander, and I'm going to take the main responsibility for what happened. It was I who did not handle the matter satisfactorily, causing the military seat to be humiliated and the 500 troops to be disgraced! If you want to be punished, punish me! In the end, he is worthy of being the main general of the 500 Army, and Zhang Erxiao still dares to take the initiative to take responsibility at the critical moment.
Gao Quan looked at the two people who had spoken with a calm face, and then looked at Liu Qi who was standing on the side.
"Ahem, Throne. Actually, this matter, as for me, although I was not discovered by others like Brigade Commander Zhang, but here, there is also my business. At the beginning, it was me and Brigade Commander Zhang discussing the competition, and the result was that we went to the 99th Army. went to the 99th Army to spy on intelligence, and the special brigade also had a part. Although I have nothing to do today, in the spirit of sharing difficulties between my comrades-in-arms, I am still willing to take a little joint responsibility. ”
"What is joint and several liability? Brigadier Liu, if you hadn't let the family find out first, how could I have been exposed? It was you who missed the horse's feet first, and the whole army of the 99th Division found me here! Originally, I was ready to lead the troops to leave the next morning, but something happened in the middle of the night! The Independent Brigade is actually affected by your special brigade! As soon as Zhang Erxiao heard Liu Qi's argument, he was reluctant at that time, and he reasoned with Brigade Commander Liu with his eyes.
"Hey, Brigade Commander Zhang, it was your troops who missed the horse and was discovered, and the name of Commander Fu was also this Major Qin Baoshan under you. I came with you to the military seat to receive the punishment, and I also came because of the friendship of Brother Paoze. That's a bit unkind to say that, isn't it? Liu Qi and Zhang Erxiao were used to carrying them, and they heard that Brigade Commander Zhang wanted to push the responsibility on him, so they immediately counterattacked.
"That's it! Are you two here to admit your mistakes or to go to court? If you want to go to court, don't look for me, go to the secretary! ”
Gao Quan's eyes were stunned, and the two of them were silent. Qin Baoshan wanted to speak, but Gao Quan waved his hand, and Major Qin obediently shut up. "Which of you did the wounding of the soldiers of the 99th Division?"
"I did it." Zhang Erxiao did not shirk this, and simply admitted it neatly.
"I guess it's you! Everyone has named Qin Baoshan, who else can you be? At that time, I was still wondering, why couldn't Brigade Commander Zhang, who used to be always a good thing, not see it? It turns out that you are the victim, and you are afraid that the bitter master will recognize you on the spot! "When Gao Quan and Fu Zhongfang were arguing, all the senior generals of the 500 Army came out, but they didn't see Zhang Erxiao, and at that time, Gao Quan suspected that Fu Zhongfang had something to do with this kid, and it turned out that he was really causing trouble!
"Well, no matter who caused the incident, after all, Fu Zhongfang knows that there is a Qin Baoshan, and Qin Baoshan is a member of your independent brigade, and you also did the thing of wounding friendly soldiers! In this competition, the independent brigade was defeated. Brigade Commander Zhang, are you convinced? ”
"I'm convinced." Gao Quan said so, what else can Zhang Erxiao do? What the military seat said is reasonable, saying that today's incident was provoked by the independent brigade, and the people were beaten by him, and he will not be able to accept it.
"Okay, since you have no objection, this matter is settled, and the independent brigade will be merged into the new 501st Division! As for the issue of the numbers of the independent brigade and the supplementary brigade, I will report to the Central Military Commission in the next few days, and you will keep the original numbers for the time being. ”
"Yes!" When it comes to serious things, the three of them should stand up together.
"In the future, this kind of reconnaissance operation against friendly forces must be cautious, and if it is not necessary, do not engage in it. Qin Baoshan temporarily went home to visit relatives on vacation, for fifty days! Okay, that's it, if there's nothing else to do, please come back. The 74th Army must train new recruits, and our 500th Army must not only train new recruits, but also recruit a large number of recruits! Independent brigades and special brigades should recruit soldiers as soon as possible and pay close attention to training! ”
"Yes!" The three of them agreed in unison, raised their hands and saluted, and then turned to leave the military headquarters.
Xue Yue has been in a very good mood recently, although Changsha was captured by the Japanese army in the second battle, but in the end, the Japanese still left. Of course, if there was no counterattack by our officers and men who were not afraid of sacrifice, the Japanese army would not have withdrawn so smoothly, and there would have been no spectacular scene of our big army chasing and killing at the end of the ranks!
The loss of Changsha, the governor of Hunan Province, was extremely angry, and someone always had to come out to bear this responsibility. Liao Lingqi, the commander of the 98th Division, just asked for leave to go home to get married, and his leave slip happened to be lost.
The loss of Changsha made the chairman feel that he had lost face in front of international friends. The Americans always say that the national army will only run away and will not fight! This time, it was said again. In addition, the losses of the 74th Division, which he attached great importance to, were really miserable, and when he was angry and annoyed, Liao Lingqi just hit the muzzle!
The second month after the end of the battle, General Liao Lingqi, a leading general of the Anti-Japanese War, was wrongly executed. Although the commission noticed that something was wrong afterwards, rehabilitated Liao Lingqi, paid a pension according to the treatment of the fallen generals, buried the corpse, and issued a letter of mourning, but the person still died after all.
Chief Xue was the commander who commanded the Second Battle of Changsha. After the end of the battle, Changsha was still under the rule of our national government, and Chief Xue once again commanded the troops to repel the Japanese invaders and keep Changsha! The chief frequently showed his face in front of the media of various countries, and domestic newspapers and magazines even brazenly disclosed General Xue Yue's heroic deeds and god-like "Heavenly Furnace Tactics".
Facing cameras, tape recorders, and microphones, the general was filled with righteous indignation to denounce the shamelessness and brutality of the Japanese invaders, and to promote the determination of the people of all nationalities throughout the country to resist the war! General Xue is busy and happy every day, and he is the man of the year in the country.
Just when Chief Xue was happy and busy every day, a very incompatible person disturbed the commander's good mood. On this day, the commander was about to attend a press conference, and someone came to report: Fu Zhongfang, commander of the 99th Army, led the commander of the 99th Division, Gao Zhiyuan, and 20 wounded soldiers to ask for a meeting!
Fu Zhongfang and Gao Zhiyuan, why did these two guys come to me with wounded soldiers? Money or medicine? Although Chief Xue was not very happy, he still postponed the press conference by two hours and personally met with the commander of the 99th Army. It is not easy to be a war zone commander, and you must always take into account the emotions of the soldiers under your command and help them solve various problems. It is really tiring to have to take care of the suffering of his soldiers and ponder the intentions of the Japanese army all day long, and to pay attention to the influence of all aspects.
"Chief Xue! Our department has been attacked by 500 troops, and I would like to ask you to call the shots! "When we first met, I didn't even bother to say hello, Fu Zhongfang went up and gave Chief Xue such a sentence.
"Huh? The 500 Army attacked the 99 Army? What the hell is going on? Commander Fu, tell me in detail. Originally thought that the other party was just here to ask for military supplies, Xue Yue, who had a coping smile on his face, suddenly changed his complexion! If there is a clash between the two armies of the national army, it will be a great event, and if one is not handled well, he, the commander, will have to take responsibility.
