As for the specific content of this military meeting, the previous notice did not explain it, but the commanders at all levels also roughly guessed the purpose of the division commander's military meeting, and they were afraid that they were going to attack the rioters in the Indochina Peninsula. 【】【】

On 11 March, commanders of all levels rushed to Yangon, and at the same time arrived the commanders of the garrisons in various cities, except for the commanders of the surrounding areas of Vientiane, who were not in this ranks, and the others, but they did not come to attend the military meeting, but were escorted back to the division headquarters according to the orders of the division commander to wait for processing.

As soon as the commanders at all levels who attended the meeting arrived in Yangon, they were taken by car to the division headquarters, and the officers who were escorted in there were not treated so well, and they were confined to a villa in a single building, and they could move around the courtyard as they pleased, but they could not go out of the courtyard, and the guards who guarded them turned out to be soldiers of the division headquarters guard brigade.

In addition to the orders of the division commander and their captain Huang Shanhu, even several deputy division commanders and chiefs of staff could not be commanded, and the notoriously six relatives did not recognize them.

Most of the officers who were detained in solitary confinement had a lot to think about, and most of them were very aggrieved on the way to Yangon, whether they were by plane or car, and most of the officers who were in charge of escorting them were old acquaintances, and they were embarrassed to embarrass these erring brothers, neither handcuffed nor restricted their personal freedom.

But when we arrived in Yangon, the difference was immediately separated, people were picked up by cars, what about us, we were stuffed into big trucks, and we got here, can we balance our hearts? It's not just unbalanced, there's even a little bit of anger.

In fact, many officers are not clearly aware of it. What kind of mistake did I make, the riot incident, there was no warning in advance, and I was caught off guard. Moreover, there was no order from the division command to shoot and suppress civilians, and in case of bloodshed, who was responsible?

Although the division headquarters later issued an order, it did not explicitly order the shooting to be suppressed, and the operation was under command. [Just read the novel~] Is there anything wrong with that? Why did the division commander calculate this account on our heads?

This is exactly the only reason why Tang Qiuli can't forgive these commanders of the garrison who shoulder the responsibility for the security of the city, in a word, inaction, as the supreme military commander of a city, he has the power to make decisions. Riots broke out, watching the thugs kill overseas Chinese and wantonly destroy the city. I don't know how to stop it by force, but blindly wait for the orders of my superiors.

To say that it sounds good is to obey the command of the superiors, and to say that it is difficult to hear it is to behave at a loss, to do nothing, to evade responsibility and to be afraid of taking responsibility, and to go deeper, to be afraid of having blood on your hands, and to be suspected of protecting yourself and selling your reputation and reputation, and so on. It has become a trend of intensifying riots, and if it had been suppressed by force at the beginning, there would have been no later action in which Tang Qiuli mobilized field troops and stationed them in various cities.

Those officers who attended the meeting. On the 11th, there was no meeting arrangement, but a group visit, jointly organized by the Investigation Department and the Intelligence Department, the Indochina Peninsula Riot Picture Record Exhibition, various photos, pasted all over several rooms, in the words of division commander Tang Qiuli, "let the officers attending the meeting have an intuitive and rational understanding, let them see, in addition to their own area of responsibility, what kind of atrocities have taken place in other places!" ”

On 12 March, the military conference was officially convened, and the officers of the colonels entered the meeting hall in a neat formation according to their respective structures, and several thousand people filled the auditorium of the division headquarters, with gold and silver stars reflecting each other. …,

On the main stage, there were two people, division commander Tang Qiuli and deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng, who seemed very empty, and the other corps commanders and heads of departments directly under the division headquarters were all below, and Chang Feng, the former chief of staff who had stepped down, and the current chief of staff Zhao Yuhe sat together, causing a burst of whispers among the officers. [. YZUU POINT]

Although there are only a few personnel involved in the small-scale adjustment of the division headquarters, the position of the chief of staff of the division is quite sensitive, and it belongs to one of the core figures of the command system of the division headquarters.

The meeting was presided over by the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng, and no one expected that the first item of the meeting was Tang Qiusheng to make a review!

Even Tang Qiuli was surprised, Brother Qiusheng did not ventilate in advance, after entering Yangon, he briefly exchanged opinions with Brother Qiusheng, and returned the command of the Sulu Mobile Corps to him, Brother Qiusheng's appearance at that time was very calm, just smiled generously, and did not say anything, but now, he suddenly has to do self-examination?

Tang Qiuli was just about to stop it, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Brother Qiusheng, who had always supported him and undertaken all the trivial tasks for himself, to lose his prestige in front of officers at all levels, and moreover, Brother Qiusheng's mistakes had not yet reached the point of making a review on the spot.

Tang Qiusheng waved his hand firmly, and said to Tang Qiuli: "Division commander, I must say that as the acting division commander, the supreme commander of the division in the Indochina Peninsula has many improprieties in handling the riots, and someone must be responsible for this, and that person is me!" ”

Tang Qiuli was silent, and the officers below, including Feng Jiwu and several other corps commanders, did not dare to breathe, only Tang Qiusheng's still calm and gentle voice echoed in the venue, the main point of his review was that the command was not effective, and he did not control the momentum of the spread of the riot, he did not say that he was soft-hearted, but the words brought out this meaning.

He finally said: "Everyone, no matter how high we sit, as long as we make mistakes, we should say it frankly to our faces, which will be beneficial to our future work. ”

The venue was silent for a few seconds, and then, there was thunderous applause, and all the officers stood up, expressing their most sincere respect to the broad-minded Deputy Division Commander Tang, Chang Feng was also excited, he was impressed by Tang Qiusheng's personality charm, the time for the two of them to work together was no shorter than the time spent with the division commander Tang Qiuli, and he also knew that Tang Qiusheng's consistent practice was to be strict with himself and lenient with others.

However, this does not represent himself, agreeing with and accepting Tang Qiusheng's statement, agreeing with his character, and agreeing with his statement are two different things.

Tang Qiuli took the microphone and glanced at the audience with awe-inspiring eyes, the officers immediately sat upright, looking at their division commander, many people noticed that the division commander's cheeks had obviously lost a lot of weight, and in his divine gaze, he couldn't hide his exhaustion.

Tang Qiuli said: "How many days has it been since the riots started to subside? Sue me! The officers replied in unison: "Eight days!" Tang Qiuli suddenly raised his voice and asked again: "It's been a few days, I can't hear your answer!" ”

With all their strength, the officers let go of their throats and shouted: "It's been eight days!" Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "Very good, everyone hasn't forgotten!" ”

Just when the officers thought that the division commander would start the meeting along this topic, Tang Qiuli said: "Next, Colonel Shen Jun, director of the Investigation Division, will report on the casualties and property losses caused by the riots in the Indochina Peninsula to the Chinese, overseas Chinese and other ordinary citizens!" Also, the number of officers and soldiers killed and wounded in the process of quelling the riots in our troops! ”…,

Shen Jun took a thick file bag, calmly walked up to the [Lord] table, took out a stack of materials from the file bag, and read quietly: "The great riot that swept the entire Indochina Peninsula affected twenty-three major cities, lasting sixteen hours. ”

"1. The number of casualties among Chinese and overseas Chinese was 28,676, of whom 10,835 were killed and 16,723 were killed or wounded by other citizens, of whom 1,456 were killed or wounded, most of whom were killed by thugs slashing, sticking, and being burned into the fire, as well as rape, beheading, and other violent acts."

"2. The industrial losses of the Chinese and overseas Chinese are as follows: 5,236 shops, factories, and enterprises were looted and burned, 6,574 residential buildings were looted or burned down, and the economic losses were converted into more than 6.7 million yuan in the ocean, and the damage to urban infrastructure was converted into the ocean, which was about 5.9 million yuan."

"3. The troops of our division, the troops dispatched to quell the rebellion this time are three corps, totaling more than 500,000 troops, of which 637 officers and men were killed or wounded, of which 168 were killed in battle, and the garrison troops in various places suffered 1,856 casualties, of which 869 were attacked by the mob and killed in battle.

Shen Jun paused, and then said: "The above is a rough count, the critically injured who are still in the hospital, those who are not out of danger, there are no specific statistics in front of them, division commander, everyone, I have finished reporting!" After speaking, he saluted Tang Qiuli and the officers in the audience, and walked off the stage with heavy steps.

Shen Jun's heart is very heavy, alone in the office, looking at these numbers is one thing, in front of thousands of officers, reading it out, it is another mood, he knows the casualties and property losses caused by this riot best, and those numbers are a blood debt, a series of atrocities!

Every time a set of numbers was recited, Shen Jun's heart ached violently, Shen Jun had already stepped down from the stage, but his heavy steps made everyone heavy, they were all commanders who participated in the counter-riot, and they also witnessed the actual situation, but the numbers gathered together still greatly shocked the hearts of the officers.
